The sun set, twilight light reflecting on the streets, as if enveloping them into a brilliant golden path. Meanwhile, dry leaves carried by the gentle breeze around it added a touch of gloom.
At the subway station.
Utaha and Yomi looked angry. While Kagura wanted to say something to calm them but didn't know where to start. She could only look at Hikaru strangely, thinking to herself.
(Hikaru Ni-san is too 'honest'. Even though he'll be living together with his fiancée, there's no need to say it directly. This is basically provoking both of their nerves.)
(Although they are indeed ex-girlfriends now, both she and outsiders can see that Yomi-senpai and Kasumigaoka-san still have lingering feelings for Hikaru Ni-san.)
It all started when Utaha and Yomi wanted to go to Hikaru's residence to settle the dinner issue.
It wasn't that Hikaru didn't want to, but his residence was in Edogawa District, and the items inside might have already been completely moved out. Let alone hosting dinner, whether they could sit without having to sit on the floor was uncertain.
Next, of course, he said the truth.
That is, he would move to the Shinomiya Family residence and prepare to live together with Kaguya.
It wasn't because he was straightforward, but Gan'an, this kind uncle, kept calling several times, urging him not to forget to come home for dinner. Coincidentally, some words were clearly heard by Yomi and Utaha.
Some things, the more they are covered up, the more unclear they become. It's better to be straightforward.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Hikaru waved his hand, preparing to board the subway.
Kaguya's residence was located in Shibuya District, Tokyo. Taking the subway from here to Shibuya District only took one hour. Unintentionally, his daily travel expenses seemed to increase a lot.
"You can't go!"
Utaha and Yomi suddenly said in unison.
"Hey, hey, hey... this matter isn't for you to decide. Besides, this is just living together, and with what status do you two intend to stop me?"
Hikaru glanced at the two women and said resignedly.
"..."
Utaha and Yomi fell silent. With their current status and position, they indeed couldn't stop him. However, thinking that Hikaru would live together with someone else, their hearts felt inexplicably tight. Previously, pretending not to hear was still acceptable. But now...
In any case, they wouldn't allow this 'playboy with a prominent nose' to live together with another woman, even if it was his legitimate fiancée.
As the two women who had made this decision wanted to argue further.
Suddenly, Hikaru's expression slightly tensed, and he looked towards the yellowish-brown sky.
"It's starting again this soon?!"
"Hikaru Ni-san, what's starting?" Kagura asked in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Yomi and Utaha also temporarily suppressed the irritation in their hearts and looked towards the yellowish-brown sky that Hikaru's eyes were locked on.
However, there was nothing in their view, not even a bird was visible, let alone any anomalies. Just as the two women wanted to question if Hikaru was trying to change the topic, in the next second—
*BOOM!*
From the sky, a familiar rumbling sound like the collapse of the heavens was heard. Then, an even more familiar scene appeared. The sky changed drastically, day and night began to alternate continuously. The twilight scene completely disappeared under this majestic power that reached the other shore.
The Dimensional List that covered the sky and replaced the entire sky appeared again.
"Dimensional List!"
Utaha, Yomi, and Kagura couldn't help but widen their mouths. Only two days had passed since the last appearance of the Dimensional List.
Many people in their hearts believed that the next appearance of the Dimensional List would take at least ten days to half a month.
No one expected the Dimensional List to descend again this quickly.
It's just that they didn't know what list would be announced this time, and what kind of people would qualify to enter the list.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Underworld.
"The Dimensional List has appeared again."
Sirzechs, who was in the new Devil King City, looked at the Dimensional List appearing in the sky, and his expression became complicated.
The announcement of the last Eternal Beauty List caused great losses to various mythologies. Egyptian Mythology was even annihilated in one move, and even the stability pattern of the entire world began to waver slightly.
He didn't know what impact the list announced by the Dimensional List this time would have on the world and the devils in the Underworld.
"Tough times!"
Those who had similar worries to Sirzechs were not few.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Norse Mythology.
"Dimensional List..."
The tone of the one-eyed God King, Odin, was full of sadness.
"Since we cannot prevent the appearance of the Dimensional List, may there be more entrants from Norse Mythology in the list that the Dimensional List will announce this time."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Greek Mythology.
"The Dimensional List still appears."
"..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Heaven.
"May this time we can get some information about our Lord."
Michael looked at the Dimensional List with full of hope.
"It would be better if we could get one or two Enlightenment Cards, so that Gabriel's chance to break through and advance would be greater, and she wouldn't be helpless to help when the Lord faces the next crisis."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Facing various worries and sadness from various mythologies, forces, and organizations, ordinary people were instead full of anticipation.
The last appearance of the Dimensional List and the shocking news indirectly revealed in the announcement of the Eternal Beauty List made even the most foolish person know that the secrets in the depths of this world were being uncovered step by step, and their daily order would also change gradually.
If they could enter the list, these ordinary people might also be able to touch that mysterious realm.
Therefore, at the moment the Dimensional List had just appeared, ordinary people were already boiling, all waiting, hoping the Dimensional List would open soon.
"As Sei-chan said. The Dimensional List has fully recovered."
Hikaru standing at the subway station, looked at the Dimensional List, especially sensing that surging, undulating, and irresistible majestic power. Now, if the gods wanted to forcibly seize the rank rewards like what happened to Sei before, what awaited them would be a great disaster.
*BUZZ!*
The gigantic Dimensional List covering the sky slowly displayed line after line of text under the gaze of all living beings in the world: ordinary people, onmyōji, yōkai, devils, angels, gods...
[Transcendent List—Announcement Imminent]
[Covers all supernatural existences below the King level in the world, evaluated based on power, bloodline, talent, and luck at each level]
[Transcendent List—Updated every three months]
[Transcendent List—Beginning Recording—]
[Transcendent List—Recording in Progress—]
After a moment of silence, many ordinary people began to boil.
"Miracles below King level, King level, is this some kind of cultivation level?"
"Previously in the Eternal Beauty List, terms like highest Devil King magic power, Transcendent, curses, lightning power... had already appeared; it seems that's true."
"It seems this list has no place for us ordinary people."
"...Indeed!"
"But it's okay; as the existence of the supernatural is revealed, we don't need to worry about not being able to touch that mysterious realm."
"..."
"Devils, yōkai, angels, or gods, this time we can finally see the tip of the hidden iceberg."
"..."
On trains, in companies, in classes, at home... many people discussed joyfully. They all wanted to quickly unveil the mystery covering the depths of the world.
Many strong people also understood that the era where devils hid in the Underworld, angels stayed in Heaven, fallen angels... and gods retired might soon pass.
Perhaps with the revelation of this Transcendent List, all mysteries, supernatural... would once again appear before humanity, like thousands of years ago.
Whether all this is good or bad for humanity is still unknown.
The only regret is that this is only a list below the King level. If it were the King level or even above the King level...
Some God Kings, Devil Kings, Main Gods, Dragon Kings... were very eager to see who could occupy the first rank!!!
