Silence.
The entire world seemed to fall into a stagnant pool. Whether ordinary humans, the Gods, or the god and devil races, all were somewhat shocked, mouths open, looking at each other.
When the facts appeared before them, no matter how much speculation or mental preparation beforehand, nothing was more shocking than what was before their eyes.
Especially The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact, it was a very foreign term to the Gods. It made sense, because even the Transcendents among them hadn't yet succeeded in finding the path to The Other Side Realm, let alone Divine Artifacts exclusive to The Other Side Realm.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Super Disaster Countermeasures Office.
Kagura stared at the Divine Artifact List in shock, at the God Slaying Sword that didn't look like a Divine Artifact at all. She opened her small mouth in surprise, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
She wasn't the only one in this situation. Office Director Ayame Jingūji, Kōji Iwahata, the Nabū brothers... these people were clearly shocked by the God Slaying Sword that appeared on the Divine Artifact List, or more precisely, by the name of its owner.
This was the second-ranked Divine Artifact on the Divine Artifact List, a Divine Artifact completely above the Bible God, the Primordial Spirit...
It turned out to be in the hands of a 'playboy' they had previously considered ordinary. Most importantly, they had all met this 'playboy' several times.
"How many more things is that person hiding from me?!" Yomi murmured.
Meanwhile, Utaha beside her remained silent.
The previous Transcendent List had already revealed the tip of his mysterious iceberg, and now even more so.
Devil King-level powerful being.
Owner of God Slaying Sword, ranked second on the Divine Artifact List.
What else would be revealed next time...
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Exorcists Group.
"Ara ara, Kazusa-chan, you really know an extraordinary big shot!"
Tsuchimikado Arima, leader of the Exorcists Group, had his usual cheerful face, but his eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness.
While Kazusa, who was being asked, wearing the traditional white kariginu of the Exorcists Group, looked at that person's name on the Divine Artifact List, and whispered with a complicated expression.
"Hikaru!"
"Arima-sama, who exactly is that person?!" Mitejima Subaru asked carefully.
"Although it's somewhat hard to believe, he's most likely that Lord..." Arima said seriously.
That Lord.
Even the leader of the Exorcists Group called him 'Lord'. In this place, the Twelve Guardians, including Subaru, were slightly confused in their hearts about his identity.
After all, with Arima's character, he wouldn't call someone 'Lord' just because he was a Devil King-level powerful being.
He must have a deeper identity that they didn't know.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Onmyō Academy.
"Hikaru, the deeper I get to know you, the more I can feel the desperate gap between us."
Eriri was slightly uncomfortable. The fuda she was using for practice in her hands was tightly crumpled.
She originally thought that after she joined Onmyō Academy and became an Onmyōji, the distance between her and Hikaru could at least be shortened. However, the scene on this Divine Artifact List cruelly revealed the desperate gap between them.
It absolutely couldn't be overcome with desperate training.
Women who had the same thoughts as Eriri were not few.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"As expected, it's that person. With this, his actions saving the Bible God before also make complete sense."
"Emperor Shin, Kanzaki Hikaru..."
"...One a playboy, one the first human Transcendent!"
Many Gods whispered.
At this moment, Kanzaki Hikaru's identity had been fully exposed in the eyes of the Gods. However, some Gods looked at the information on the Divine Artifact List, and couldn't help but keep sighing.
"Good heavens, The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact jointly created by the Bible God, Primordial Spirit, and True Red Dragon God Emperor, almost three The Other Side Realm existences. Doesn't that mean these three The Other Side Realm existences are standing behind that person."
Yes. Almost three The Other Side Realm existences. Some powerful beings who had too close personal relationships with the Egyptian Pantheon before, initially wanted to take a risk and secretly make small trouble for Emperor Shin. Now, those thoughts they didn't even dare to think.
"Emperor Shin's own power is already unexpected, plus this The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact God Slaying Sword, I'm afraid even Shiva could be beheaded by him."
"...Still somewhat hard to believe. Not God Slaying Sword, the first truly legitimate The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact, but Emperor Shin..."
"What's wrong? The facts are before you now. Hard facts you can't deny."
"...No, just sighing a bit about Emperor Shin's age. At under twenty years old, he already has such power..."
"Although it's indeed somewhat excessive, don't forget that this world has never lacked geniuses. Emperor Shin is clearly the exception among exceptions among them."
"..."
Compared to God Slaying Sword, The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact unprecedented in the world, its owner, Kanzaki Hikaru, clearly was more capable of attracting the Gods' attention, especially The Other Side Realm existence like the Bible God standing behind him.
