Kei familiarized himself with the Primordial Realm, adjusting to the changes in his abilities. He then sensed the Infinite Realms within the Primordial Realm, such as Eden, the Great Dark Sky, the Gravity Space, the Lava Space… and couldn't help but sigh at the system's thoughtfulness. Shifting his gaze back to the system interface, he spoke.
System, activate [Multidimensional Voyager].
As soon as his words fell, a flood of knowledge about the Marvel Universe's concept of multidimensional space and time surged into his mind. With his lifeforce tier having just completed its transformation, officially stepping into the Dimensional Demon God level, where his soul, body, and personal small world were now fully integrated, he effortlessly absorbed all this information.

A system notification chimed again.
He closed his eyes to fully absorb the new information before cautiously reviewing the detailed description of the trait once more. Now, it seemed... he could expend his own energy to forcibly establish world portals?
And previously, he could only passively sense naturally occurring portals between worlds. But now, he could seemingly actively perceive world barriers and create a doorway into another world?
Suppressing the excitement surging in his heart, he grabbed Kushina and stepped into Eden, which was isolated within the Primordial Realm.
He glanced at Teresa, who was still unconscious under the effects of a technique.
Mobilizing the powerful energy in his body, now truly deserving of the name Primordial Force, he closed his eyes and began sensing the Marvel world portal in Jotunheim, the point where he originally entered. When relying solely on spatial perception, even with his current strength, it would be nearly impossible to locate Jotunheim from this distance in a single attempt.
But with the power of [Wanderer of Countless Worlds], combined with the enhanced Primordial Force from his evolution as Primordial Realm Lord, he elevated his perception to a level where he could overlook dimensions and planes from a higher perspective.
Just as he "raised his vision," he realized something astonishing about the Marvel Universe's world barrier... It looked like a sieve full of holes?!
Not only were there holes everywhere, but he could also vaguely perceive the barriers of several other worlds.
This... Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he focused.
One minute, two minutes... ten minutes passed. Using the markers he had previously set, he successfully located the world portal in Jotunheim.
With the power of [Wanderer of Countless Worlds], he opened the Marvel Universe's portal and located the portals leading to both the Naruto world and the Claymore world.
Then, he linked the two world portals to Eden.
Just as he was about to stabilize and reinforce the portals, he noticed another naturally occurring world portal not far from the Claymore world portal.
Thinking "Might as well take it too," he connected that portal to Eden as well.
More than ten minutes later, three portals, each over two meters tall, were successfully stabilized and reinforced. Each portal rippled like water, radiating a nine-colored aura infused with rich world energy.
"Whoo—" Kei let out a long breath.
Feeling that 54% of his total energy had been consumed, he couldn't help but sigh at how energy-intensive this process was.
To put things into perspective, when he got [Primordial Realm Lord], his body's energy had increased exponentially, now comparable to the energy of 26 entire planets. Yet even that massive energy reserve had been significantly depleted.
For anyone with weaker energy reserves, sustaining this ability would have been impossible. However, the good news was that once a world portal was stabilized, it required no additional energy to traverse and prevented travelers from getting lost in chaotic time-space currents.
In other words, this was an investment with permanent returns.
"Eden... won't end up collecting hundreds or even thousands of world portals, right?" Kei muttered to himself.
With his fingers acting as a pen, he traced intricate magical runes into the air.
He engraved decorative magical borders onto the three world portals, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. He also inscribed golden letters above two of them: "Elemental Nations" and "Claymore".
As for the third unidentified portal, since he didn't even know what world it led to, he decided to name it later.
"This? We can return directly?" Kushina's face lit up with curiosity as she circled around the portals, her eyes fixed on the one labeled Elemental Nations.
"Go ahead and test it." With a casual snap of his fingers, a wooden lounge chair appeared out of thin air behind Kei. He collapsed onto the chair, completely exhausted.
This work... was seriously draining.
"Mm-hmm!" Kushina nodded excitedly.
With absolute trust in him, she stepped forward and walked into the world portal.
Kei watched as she returned home to the Naruto world. He then closed his eyes and turned his attention back to the system interface.

The list of activated traits had significantly shrunk, now leaving only six. As for the missing [Stealthy Crawler], Kei had gifted it to Duy, since the man had no hidden talent to speak of.
[Heaven's Piss] had gone to Pakura, allowing her to bring prosperity to the desert. [Complete Childhood] had been gifted to a newborn Itachi, hoping it would give him a childhood worth remembering.
His eyes then landed on [Eternal Adherent] sitting at the bottom of the unactivated list.
He rubbed his chin, hesitating. In the end, he chose not to activate it just yet. In Marvel lore, Eternity was one of the cosmic abstracts, representing the sum total of time across the universe.
Activating [Eternal Adherent] would grant him immortality, as well as immense powers such as reality-warping, space manipulation, and time control, essentially creating a top-tier powerhouse with just one ability. There was no doubt about how powerful it was.
However, possessing this trait would also mean becoming Eternity's subordinate. Even if he didn't sign a formal contract like some sorcerers, he would still be expected to maintain and oversee universal order within his power.
If he were weaker, he wouldn't even hesitate, hell, he'd even make deals with Death itself. But now, standing at the level of a Dimensional Demon God, he was at least strong enough to consider his choices.
Kei rocked back and forth on his chair.
If he wanted [Eternal Adherent]'s power without the obligations, there was a simple workaround: activate the trait and then leave the Marvel Universe. But at least for now, he wasn't planning to leave just yet.
Marvel's Universe was like a sieve, full of holes. If he left, where else would he find so many naturally occurring world portals?
Closing the system screen, he was about to take a quick nap when, a strange fluctuation came from the unknown world portal.
"Is my Eden some kind of interdimensional highway? Why do people keep crashing through it?"
Swoosh—clang!
A young girl rushed out of the portal, dressed in a black Demon Slayer uniform with a white butterfly-patterned haori. She had long black hair, purple eyes, and a butterfly-shaped hairpin.
Panting, she gripped her Nichirin Sword tightly, stepping back more than ten meters while keeping her guard up. Her gaze swept over Kei, who was still lounging on his chair.
Realizing he didn't seem like an ordinary person, she quickly turned back toward the portal and took a defensive stance in front of him.
"Run! There's a very strong demon coming! I won't be able to hold him off for long!"
A playful voice followed from the portal, "Hehehe~ What an interesting Blood Demon Art. But I don't sense any demonic aura... Ah~ I've found you! Why are you running? I already told you—I'll be very gentle when I eat you, so we can be together forever."
A man in a red robe and black cloak stepped out, smiling brightly. His iridescent eyes, like polished glass, gleamed with the kanji:
Upper Moon Two
Doma? Then this girl… Kei glanced at her height.
No doubt about it.
Because Kocho Shinobu was nowhere near 150 cm tall, that meant—this was Kocho Kanae!
