Chapter 401: Breaching into the Peak God-King Realm! Next Steps and Plans?
....
Seito reached out to catch the tiny figure, pulling her gently into his embrace.
"Hiyori?"
That's right! This white-haired L*li was none other than Hiyori from the Beast-Race!
Currently, the holiday calendars for both the Beast-Race and the Plant-Race had aligned perfectly with Eastern Country. Because of this, Hiyori had traveled back home to celebrate the Spring Festival.
"Now that you're here, take a seat and join us," Seito said with a warm smile, looking down at the L*li in his arms. He had originally thought that Hiyori would arrive tomorrow alongside the main Beast-Race delegation; he never expected her to sneak over a day early.
"Mhm!" Hiyori nodded her small head firmly.
Immediately after, she comfortably perched herself right on Seito's lap, curiously looking around at the massive group of people gathered around the long table.
"Hiyori, long time no see," Kirukiru Amou said, turning her head with a bright smile.
"Long time no see, Sister Amou~" Hiyori replied sweetly. She naturally picked up a pair of chopsticks, looking completely ready to enjoy the feast.
Kirukiru Amou offered a gentle smile and didn't say anything further.
The rest of the guests curiously studied this newly arrived monster girl. Aside from the members from Sobu High, only the gamer siblings and Haruno Yukinoshita actually recognized her. Those who didn't know Hiyori quickly caught on through the casual conversation.
Still, a deep wave of shock rippled through their hearts. After all, Seito's personal battle pet had actually grown to become the White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Beasts of Earth! This development truly shattered all baseline expectations.
The group continued to enjoy their food. This New Year's Eve dinner carried a wonderful, traditional holiday atmosphere. Everyone chatted in perfect harmony while the television in the background broadcasted the Spring Festival Gala.
About two hours quickly ticked away.
With dinner fully wrapped up, the plates were cleared, and everyone lounged around the living room, sharing stories and laughing together. Right at that moment, Seito, who was sitting comfortably on the couch, suddenly felt a massive surge in his core energies. He quickly opened his status panel to check his metrics.
[Name: Seito]
[Divine Name: Space God-King]
[Rank: Late God-King Realm]
[Divine Core: Space Divine Core]
[Talent: Space Mastery]
[Divine Power Required for Upgrade: 1.1 Billion / 1 Billion]
[Skills: Velocity Space (Exclusive), Spatial Movement (Exclusive), Void Step (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Roar (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Breath (Exclusive)...]
[Equipment: Space Set (God-King Grade)]
"What on earth?"
Seito's expression shifted into pure surprise. How had he suddenly gathered such a massive mountain of divine power points?
Could it be from my shadow clones? But how did they manage to harvest this much power out in the field? Without directly recalling his clones to sync their logs, Seito had zero way of knowing what wild events had unfolded on their end.
However, one fundamental point was absolutely secure: another hidden faction of gods—or perhaps a few low-level God-Kings—had definitely surfaced and been eliminated. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to receive such a huge payout of divine energy.
Reviewing the metrics, pure excitement rushed through him. His current divine power pool sat at a staggering 1.1 billion! This was more than enough to breach the ceiling and push him straight into the peak stage of the God-King Realm! Furthermore, he could easily channel the remaining surplus into Sora's pool later on. After all, Sora was also right on the verge of breaking into the God-King tier.
With this realization, a massive, unshakeable grin broke across Seito's face.
"What's wrong?" Sitting right next to him, Kirukiru Amou couldn't help but ask when she spotted his dramatic expression.
"I'm about to break through to the peak stage of the God-King Realm!" Seito replied with a wide smile.
The peak stage of the God-King Realm?!
Hearing his announcement, not only did Kirukiru Amou freeze on the spot, but every single girl in the living room stopped talking instantly. This leveling speed was simply too terrifying! They had all thought that Seito would need a significant block of time before he could even attempt to touch the peak God-King tier. Who could have guessed he would breach the wall this early?
This was truly...
Thinking about the absolute combat parameters Seito would possess after this breakthrough, the entire room grew incredibly excited. Once Seito solidified his position at the absolute peak of the God-King Realm, their faction could essentially walk completely unchallenged through the God-King Star Sector!
"Are you going to run the breakthrough right now?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, her arms crossed as she maintained her usual calm tone.
"Yes!" Seito nodded firmly.
He had zero desire to waste time or drag things out. Pushing the breakthrough right now was the absolute best choice! The second he secured peak God-King power, he could initiate a massive, global cleanup sweep across the entire God-King Star Sector!
With that thought locked in, his silhouette vanished from the living room in a silent flash, stepping straight into his personal Divine Kingdom.
Arriving inside the main hall of his kingdom, Seito sat down cross-legged on the platform.
"Begin the upgrade!"
Boom!
Deep within his sea of consciousness, his purple divine core began to spin at a manic speed. A solid block of one billion divine power points poured into the core like a raging river.
Seito monitored his physical parameters. His vital energies boiled over once again, surging through his limbs like an ancient dragon slamming against his inner walls! He could feel his raw strength climbing rapidly, step by glorious step. Because this transition was a direct step from the late stage to the peak stage of the same realm, the breakthrough sequence concluded exceptionally fast.
Inside his mind... the purple divine core exploded with a blinding, holy light. The divine energy grew incredibly thick, looking as if it were about to crystallize into solid matter.
At this exact moment, the Peak God-King Realm was officially formed!
Boom!
A massive, heavy pressure descended upon the world, echoing across every corner of his Divine Kingdom. Seito snapped his eyes open, a brilliant flash of golden, holy light bursting from his irises!
"The peak of the God-King Realm... I've finally reached it!"
Sensing the staggering ocean of power humming within his body, Seito felt completely drunk on the sensation. It was too strong! It was an absolute, suffocating level of power! If a regular peak God-King was already this terrifying, what kind of world-ending majesty would the higher Main God tier or the Genesis tier possess?
"The God-King Star Sector, huh?" Seito's lips curved into a sharp smile.
That territory was officially his for the taking! He needed to speed up the execution of those resident God-Kings, harvest their energy pools, and push himself into the Main God Realm so he could formally join the upper-tier universal wars!
With his goals set, he clicked open his status panel to review the new baseline parameters.
[Name: Seito]
[Divine Name: Space God-King]
[Rank: Peak God-King Realm]
[Divine Core: Space Divine Core]
[Talent: Space Mastery]
[Divine Power Required for Upgrade: 100 Million / 5 Billion]
[Skills: Velocity Space (Exclusive), Spatial Movement (Exclusive), Void Step (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Roar (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Breath (Exclusive), Dimensional Slash (Exclusive), Kamui Space (Exclusive), Spatial Storm (Exclusive), Protection of the Wind (Exclusive), Spatial Perception (Exclusive), Spatial Lock (Exclusive), Mirror Space (Exclusive), Life Heal.]
[Equipment: Space Set (God-King Grade)]
"Holy crap! Five billion?!"
Staring at the updated numbers on his screen, Seito was completely startled. Five billion divine power points! How many months would it take to gather a massive number like that under normal conditions?
It looked like he really had no choice but to launch a massive, full-scale war!
"We still have a few days left of the New Year holidays. During this block of time, I should focus entirely on raising Sora, Maple, and the rest of the core team straight into the God-King Realm!" Seito locked in his new operational strategy.
Hunting down enemy targets one by one was simply too slow. He wanted to directly launch a head-on assault and capture the entire Central Region of the God-King Star Sector in one swift campaign! Therefore, during this holiday block, he absolutely had to raise the level parameters of his companions to the absolute maximum!
