Chapter 28 - Does Not Qualify?

Under the gaze of all living beings in the world, the text on the Dimensional List changed once again. Lines of writing like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, sharp and dominating, began to appear.

[Official Announcement of the Transcendent List]

All existences who felt extraordinary in various places stared at the Transcendent List in the sky, greatly hoping their names would appear. It should be noted that the rank rewards from the previous Eternal Beauty List had already set many hearts ablaze.

Some mythologies, forces, and organizations also awaited the beings affiliated with them to enter the Transcendent List.

Even the arrogant gods had to admit that the rank rewards for the entrants on that list could truly replace thousands of years of accumulation in an instant. In fact, some extraordinary rank rewards could make mythologies even stronger.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

[Rank 100: Satō]

[Race: Ajin]

[Power: Low Level]

[Description: Former special forces soldier experienced in combat, now an extremist terrorist. Ajin's eternal regeneration and special ability: Black Ghost, sufficient to slaughter enemies at the same level]

[Rank Reward: Initial Super Ability Development]

...

[Rank 99: Fueguchi Hinami]

[Race: Ghoul]

[Power: Low Level]

[Description: An extremely rare Ghoul (flesh-eating ghost) possessing more than two types of kagune, inheriting kagune from both parents, possessing extraordinary Ghoul power. At the same time, she also has extremely sensitive perception abilities. After obtaining Initial Physical Modification, she covers the innate weaknesses of ghouls.]

[Rank Reward: Initial Super Ability Development]

...

Projections of Satō in military uniform and Hinami appeared on the Transcendent List.

"It's just starting and already so sensational; immortal Ajin and Ghouls have appeared!!!"

"Immortal Ajin, there really are creatures like this in the world. And also man-eating Ghouls, truly terrifying."

"Is it just me who noticed that Fueguchi Hinami is rank eighty-seven on the Eternal Beauty List? Turns out she's... a Ghoul!!!"

"...Goodness, hard to believe. Such a sweet little girl turns out to be a man-eating monster."

"..."

"I've been to that coffee shop called Anteiku Cafe. The people inside, could they all be Ghouls?"

"...Possibly. Imagining I've interacted so closely with Ghouls before makes me shudder."

"...A Ghoul-owned coffee shop."

As Hinami's identity was revealed, many people's gazes towards her were no longer the previous admiration and affection, but deep fear. Various malicious words resembling 'monster' were also directed at her.

This was inevitable.

No matter how sweet and adorable Hinami was, once someone thought she was a monster that would eat them, under the threat of fear of death, no matter how many thoughts were in the heart, they would immediately turn into the most primitive fear.

Meanwhile, Satō's appearance on the Transcendent List made several official institutions in Japan slightly dizzy. This hated Ajin, after obtaining the rank reward, might become even harder to capture.

Anteiku Cafe.

"Touka, Hinami, your decision earlier was correct."

Yoshimura's eyes, filled with experience, stared at the Transcendent List through the window.

The Dimensional List revealed the existence of Ghouls this quickly. He could foresee that if there hadn't been the invitation from the Super Disaster Countermeasure Room today, their Anteiku Cafe might soon be surrounded by CCG investigators.

Facing the possibility of total destruction, Kaya, Enji... and the others beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Hinami, you're amazing for making it onto two lists at once."

Touka said happily to Hinami beside her.

She was also an entrant on the Eternal Beauty List, so she naturally understood the benefits brought by each listing. Initial Super Ability Development, although she didn't know how strong it was, but products from the Dimensional List would surely be very beneficial to Hinami. At least, having the ability to protect oneself would not be an issue.

"Touka-nee, you can too." Hinami smiled shyly.

"...Me, huh."

Touka didn't respond. She was self-aware that her talent was far behind Hinami's. At best, her power was slightly higher, and that was limited.

Someone like Hinami was only at rank ninety-nine on the Transcendent List. The possibility of her making the list was almost zero.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

[Rank 95: Tsuchimiya Kagura]

[Race: Human]

[Power: Mid Level]

[Description: Heir to the exorcist clan, Tsuchimiya Clan, member of the Super Disaster Countermeasure Room, inheritor of the spiritual beast Byakuei, possesses extremely high Onmyōdō talent.]

[Rank Reward: Initial Super Ability Development]

...

[Rank 90: Isayama Yomi]

[Race: Human]

[Power: Mid Level]

[Description: Heir to the exorcist clan, Isayama Clan, member of the Super Disaster Countermeasure Room, wielder of the precious sword Shishiō, nicknamed the Prodigy Child, possesses extremely high Onmyōdō talent.]

[Rank Reward: Initial Super Ability Development]

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

With the appearance of Kagura's and Yomi's ranks, many people were shocked.

Both were also entrants on the Eternal Beauty List. Unexpectedly, they had such deep backgrounds, heirs to two exorcist clans. Additionally, the information revealed on the Transcendent List was more than Hinami's, especially the lesser-known supernatural organization, the Super Disaster Countermeasure Room, which was officially revealed to everyone's eyes for the first time.

"Only rank ninety!"

As the person involved, Yomi showed great dissatisfaction with her rank on the Transcendent List.

"Rank ninety is already not small."

Hikaru explained, "Don't forget, the Transcendent List records all existences below the King level. If not divided by power at each level, you and Kagura, with mid-level demon power, wouldn't be able to make the list at all."

"The Devil King level power in the world, that is, the King level mentioned on the Dimensional List, is no less than a hundred. Not to mention the highest levels below it."

This time, Yomi fell silent.

Indeed, there were too many strong people in this world. Demons, angels, legendary gods... as long as they were below the King level, all were recorded on the Transcendent List. Being able to enter the Transcendent List was also an affirmation of one's power and talent.

"Hikaru Nii-san, can you make the list?" Kagura asked curiously.

"It seems not. I don't qualify for the Transcendent List."

Hearing Hikaru's answer, not only Yomi and Kagura understood, even Utaha beside them understood.

Does not qualify.

They wouldn't be naive to think that Hikaru couldn't make the list because his power was insufficient. Clearly, Hikaru's power had far surpassed the requirements of the Transcendent List.

Power above the King level!!!

Yomi and Kagura, who understood the meaning of the King level, looked at Hikaru with shocked expressions.

They had always known that Hikaru was very strong, but they never thought he had reached the King level. It should be noted that it was an exclusive level for God Kings, Devil Kings, Seraphim...

Since ancient times, too few humans could reach this level; they were entirely great figures that only existed in legendary history.

At this moment, a sense of pride emanated from Yomi's heart.

See, this is the man she chose, an existence completely equal to Devil Kings, God Kings, Seraphim.
