Chapter 122 - The Despair Brought by Difference

"These pieces of trash who can't do anything but ruin things!"

Rizevim stared at the heads falling from outer space, his face slightly gloomy.

The little brats from the Old Devil King Faction, although in his eyes were chess pieces that could be discarded at any time, they were also related to his plan to investigate the truth of Emperor Shin and Cao Cao's conspiracy, as well as some hidden layouts placed on them. Who would have thought they were directly annihilated by Emperor Shin and his good grandson.

With this, his plan was definitely ruined.

But there was one thing he was one hundred percent certain of now.

"Emperor Shin, it seems my previous speculation wasn't wrong at all. You're truly opposing the world and planning something toward the Beast of Apocalypse 666."

Rizevim stared at Hikaru.

Emperor Shin's actions this time truly covered up all previous hidden behaviors and movements.

"Indeed, so what? No, so what?"

Hikaru's words were very calm, neither denying nor acknowledging anything.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the Onmyōji below and Abe no Seimei who was fortunate to survive shrank drastically. They truly didn't expect that the only Transcendent among humans was actually Kanzaki Hikaru, the 'playboy' in outsiders' eyes in the past.

This news was very shocking to Kurahashi Genji, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi, and the others. At the same time, they suddenly remembered the extraordinary respect from that reckless Tsuchimikado Arima toward Hikaru in his tone of speech some time ago. And seeing the same reckless smile at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed this person had already known Hikaru's true identity long ago.

No wonder he could say: "In That Excellency's eyes, if Onmyōdō's inheritance is no longer needed by humanity, that's when Onmyōdō will perish."

Those words that sounded so outrageous, now after thinking about it, if in Emperor Shin's eyes, humanity's only Transcendent, Onmyōdō truly was no longer needed, indeed there was no room at all to dispute. Heading toward decline and end was their only choice.

"Your Excellency Transcendent, humanity's Transcendent. Haiz... Onmyōdō is too small before him."

Even Tsuchimikado Harutora, who was the reincarnation of genius Onmyōji Tsuchimikado Yakou from his previous life, couldn't help but sigh, staring at Hikaru's figure in the sky, his eyes filled with deep fear and respect.

Only those who were at the topmost level of humanity's order, like Yakou, Genji, Ayame, and the others, who truly understood what Transcendent meant for all humanity, and how important Transcendent was in the entire world. Although this Excellency previously didn't care at all when Abe no Seimei extracted their life energy for certain purposes.

However, there wasn't a single person who dared have the slightest complaint in their hearts.

Because precisely because humanity had the only Transcendent: Emperor Shin, humans could lift their heads before the god and devil races, and not degrade into toys like ancestors in ancient times, toyed with at will, and discarded after their value was squeezed dry.

The birth of a Transcendent among humans was humanity's fortune, and also a great honor.

"Transcendent, huh, truly an extraordinary background."

"Hikaru, is this the identity you've been hiding all along? No... No, it should be we who never reached the same level as you, so we couldn't discover and walk parallel with you."

"What must I do to be able to cover the distance between us..."

Yomi went through initial shock, subsided, and now became confused and felt lost.

Although she had previously suspected Hikaru's identity was definitely not simple, and his power was as strong as Devil King-level existence, that was only that far. She had never at all, and didn't dare, fantasize about Emperor Shin.

After all, Emperor Shin's status among humans was too noble. In some aspects, far superior to the God of the Bible's status in human hearts.

Therefore, people would usually unconsciously block the connection between the two, not daring to speculate. However, now the most impossible reality appeared before their eyes.

The man she loved turned out to be the legendary Emperor Shin, humanity's only Transcendent, and the world's strongest Transcendent. Previously, he had even publicly beheaded Hades.

The distance between the two of them was truly like the Nine Heavens...

Yomi couldn't think of any way to cover the distance between them. What panicked her was if it continued like this, most likely the two would increasingly drift apart in different directions, until finally losing Hikaru.

People who had the same thoughts and inner activities as Yomi were not few.

Eriri, Kazusa, Utaha, and even Kagura earlier were included in this list.

Continuously immersed in confusion and feelings of loss. Perhaps in others' eyes, they had an inseparable relationship with the famous Emperor Shin among humans, were very important people in Emperor Shin's eyes. With this relationship, it was enough to make their respective families soar high, even the gods didn't dare underestimate and provoke.

Now, Genji, Yasuzumi, Arima and the others, secretly stared at Utaha and the others with unusual gazes.

They no longer saw them merely as people who entered the Dimensional List. Because, behind them stood Emperor Shin who was capable of overturning the entire world, if they truly touched these girls, great disaster would definitely befall. Some people secretly felt grateful for not looking for trouble with Utaha and the others.

However, if given a choice, whether Utaha, or Eriri, Kagura... they might not want this honor others dreamed of. In fact, they would rather the person they loved be an ordinary person without power at all, rather than a Transcendent who stood above everything.

At least that way, the distance between them wouldn't be so large and 'infinite', even to the point of causing despair.

Unfortunately, things in the world often went contrary to wishes, everything was already predestined, and of course couldn't be changed at will.
