Kei Yamanaka took a moment to adjust to the changes brought by his enhanced abilities in the Primordial Realm.
He also sensed the various isolated spaces sealed off inside the Primordial Realm—the Chen Ge Hu, Daikokuten, Gravity Dimension, Lava Dimension, and more—privately muttering about how considerate the system was, before turning his gaze back toward the System Interface.
"System, activate golden skill listing [Multiverse Traveler]."
As soon as he spoke, a flood of concepts related to Marvel's multiverse dimensions and profound insights into space-time rushed into him.
Having just completed the elevation of his life form, Kei had now truly stepped into the realm of Dimensional Demon God. With his soul, body, and personal world completely unified, he easily absorbed all this information.
[Detected compatibility between golden skill listing 'Interdimensional Traveler' and golden skill listing 'Multiverse Traveler'. Fusion available. Proceed?]
"Fusion!"
[Fusion complete. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the colorful skill listing [Soaring Through All Heavens].]
[Soaring Through All Heavens (Colored)]: A traveler favored by fate who transcends dimensions and realms. Possesses the ability to perceive, locate, and record entry coordinates of all worlds; can connect, open, establish, and traverse world portals. World barrier perception and world portal search capabilities have been greatly enhanced. Spiritual body strength, growth rate, and ultimate potential have seen immense improvement. Significant boost in affinity towards world origins.
Another system notification sounded through his mind.
After absorbing the information, Kei closed his eyes momentarily, then hesitated before reviewing the detailed description of the entry again.
Right now, could he really use his own energy to forcibly create a portal between worlds?
And previously, he could only passively sense naturally-formed world portals from other worlds—but now, could he actively sense world barriers and forcibly create an entrance into those worlds?
This…
truly worthy of being my destined ability!
Kei barely suppressed the rising excitement in his heart. Grabbing Kushina's hand, he immediately stepped into the Chen Ge Hu—a space sealed off inside his Primordial Realm.
Glancing at the still-unconscious Dinisha trapped in his genjutsu.
He mobilized the energy within him, now refined into what could be called yuan energy, closed his eyes, and began sensing the world portal that had brought him here—the one located in Jotunheim's Marvel world.
If relying solely on spatial energy for perception...
At such a vast distance, even with his current strength, Kei wouldn't have been able to sense Jotunheim directly in one go.
But now, with the power of the colorful skill listing [Soaring Through All Heavens].
Coupled with the upgraded energy levels and tripled reserves granted by the advancement of the colorful skill listing [Primordial Sovereign], he expanded his sensory awareness upward—to a higher level where he could perceive entire dimensions and planes from above.
The moment he raised his perception...
He immediately noticed—the world barrier surrounding the Marvel world...
Looked like a sieve?
Not only were there holes everywhere, but he could vaguely sense several other world barriers overlapping as well!
This…
Shoving aside his chaotic thoughts.
One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes...
Guided by the beacons he'd previously established, Kei directly located the world portal situated in Jotunheim.
Using the power of [Soaring Through All Heavens], he opened the Marvel world's portal and traced the other ends of it—the world portals leading to both the Ninja World and the Claymore World.
He linked two more World Portals to Chen Ge Hu, the small world within his own!
Just as he was about to stabilize the two newly opened portals, he suddenly sensed the presence of another naturally formed World Portal nearby—one that led to the Claymore World.
Driven by a thought of "might as well take it while I'm here,"
he connected that portal into Chen Ge Hu as well.
Over ten minutes later,
three massive World Portals, each over two meters high, had been successfully stabilized and opened.
Each shimmered with a nine-colored glow like flowing water, emitting dense waves of world energy.
"Phew～"
Kei Yamanaka let out a deep breath through his nose.
Sensing how nearly four-fifths of his yuan energy had already been drained, he muttered inwardly—it drained far too much energy!
Back when his [Primordial Sovereign] trait upgraded, his energy had multiplied repeatedly until it reached approximately twenty-six planetary energy units.
Such an enormous amount of consumption—
anyone even slightly weaker would likely fail to use such a technique!
Still, the good news was that once stabilized, traversing these World Portals would require no additional energy, nor would there be danger from getting lost in fractured spacetime.
So, this was definitely a one-time effort for permanent gain!
"I wonder if my Chen Ge Hu will someday end up collecting hundreds, maybe even thousands, of World Portals?"
Kei muttered quietly to himself.
Tracing runes in the air with his fingertip,
he inscribed glowing magical borders along the edges of the portals to enhance their appearance. Then, above two of them, he etched glowing golden words: 'Wuling' and 'Claymore'.
As for the third portal whose origin remained unknown, he opted to name it later.
"This? Can we just go straight home?"
Kushina asked in amazement, circling them twice before locking her eyes on the one marked with large golden characters spelling 'Wuling'.
"Why don't you try it?"
With a casual snap of his fingers, Kei summoned a wooden lounge chair behind him.
He leaned back and sank into the chair.
That was exhausting!
"Mmhm!"
Nodding enthusiastically, Kushina—who trusted him completely—immediately stepped forward and entered the World Portal.
Kei watched Kushina safely return to her home in the Ninja World.
Closing his eyes, he turned his attention back to the System Interface.

...
On the System Interface, what had once been a long list of Activated Traits now had only six left.
Among the Inactive Skills, the White-Rank Skill [Chrysalis User] had already been gifted to Might Lord—whose hidden talents had left much to be desired—back when Kei Yamanaka was still in the Ninja World.
The Purple-Tier Trait [Heaven's Ladle] had gone to Pakura, enabling her to flourish in the desert lands.
And the Gray-Rank Skill [Complete Childhood], well, that one he'd given to baby Itachi Uchiha during the celebration for Fugaku's newborn son, hoping it would grant the boy a flawless and unforgettable childhood.
Kei glanced at the vibrant new entry at the bottom of his Inactive Skills: [Eternal Companion].
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
After some consideration, he decided not to activate this trait just yet.
Eternity—one of the Five Primordial Deities—embodied the very essence of time throughout the cosmos.
Activating the [Eternal Companion] keyword would grant immortality and immense powers such as reality manipulation, spatial control, and time mastery.
A single keyword alone was enough to create an apex powerhouse.
Its strength was unquestionable.
However, by possessing the keyword, one also became a companion of Eternity.
Even without a formal contract like the one the Ancient One shared with Eternity, one would still be expected—to the best of their ability—to maintain and oversee cosmic balance.
That was the duty of an Eternal Companion.
If he were weaker, he wouldn't have hesitated—even if it meant becoming Death's lover!
But now? He was already a true top-tier powerhouse—one who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Dimensional Demon Gods.
Even if he couldn't match the Five Primordial Deities themselves, there was no need to actively seek them out.
"Tch... Not taking it feels like missing out. But if I do take it, for now, it'd just sit unused among my Inactive Skills..."
Kei swayed back and forth on his rocking chair.
Truthfully, gaining the power of [Eternal Companion] without assuming its duties wasn't all that hard.
All he needed to do was activate it and then leave the Marvel world behind.
But for now, he had no plans of going anywhere anytime soon.
This Marvel world was like a sieve riddled with holes!
Where else could he find so many World Portals?
Closing the system screen, Kei was about to take a nap.
When suddenly, a familiar special fluctuation came from that strange World Portal.
"Not again... My World Portals aren't dump trucks! How does this keep happening?!"
Shup—Clang!
A girl dressed in a black Demon Slayer Corps uniform stepped through the portal wearing a white haori patterned with butterfly wings. She had long black hair, violet eyes, and a butterfly-shaped hairpin.
Panting heavily, she tightened her grip on her Nichirin Blade and leaped backward more than ten meters in an instant.
Her cautious gaze swept over Kei Yamanaka relaxing in his recliner.
Seeing how he seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary man, she quickly turned her blade toward the portal she'd just exited and flash-stepped to shield him.
"Run! A powerful demon is coming!"
"I can't hold him off for long!"
"Hehehe～ What an interesting [Blood Demon Art]. But I don't detect any demon presence here. Ah～ Found you! Why run away? I told you already, I'll be very gentle with a girl like you. I'll devour you slowly, so you'll stay with me forever."
A man in a red coat and black cloak stepped out from the World Gate, his lips curled into a bright smile.
And within his crystalline, multicolored eyes,
clearly inscribed were the words 'Upper Moon' and 'Two'.
Tongmo?
Could it be...? Or was that someone else entirely?
Butterfly Sanae?
Kei Yamanaka noted the girl's height.
