Slowly, I closed my eyes.

The boundary.

The mana in this place was special.

In fact, I sensed it from the first time I came here.

I was just ignoring it due to the sudden events.

I focused on them as I closed my eyes.

My mana was close to primordial mana.

The mana I accumulated in my heart and dantian possessed the purest qualities among all mana.

It was that effective.

It was also easy to imbue with other properties.

It was easy to have an advantage with the same amount of mana.

Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra.

The mana created with it was endlessly pure.

However, coming to the boundary, I was a bit surprised.

'Close to the Great Sky…'

That was how the mana here felt.

The Great Sky I pursued.

I felt a similar aura.

…If I trained here, more might ascend to transcendence.

It was to the extent that such thoughts occurred.

'I thought the others had gotten better.'

Though I had never seen other transcendents or gods here.

You could sense it through something like a 'gaze.'

There were quite a few limitations to what could be inferred from that.

I had a good sense of perception.

I could realize most things with just a gaze.

The Heavenly Demon sometimes made strange expressions when I said such things.

Well, it was not important.

What was more important now.

'The mana here.'

I'd make it mine.

It was close to the Great Sky. There was much that could be done with it.

'Creating the third circle.'

Dragon's heart.

And the two circles engraved on my heart.

Create the third ring that embraced them.

And one more.

'It's about time to open it.'

My mind.

The intention that composed it.

It needed to be strengthened.

This was extremely difficult, so I couldn't easily attempt it.

'With the mana here, it's possible.'

Sigh.

I breathed.

This was where the state of mind was important. A mindset that accepted the purest deception.

I shaved down and shaved down the incoming mana.

The primordial mana I possessed.

There, I pursued even purer mana.

As I continued to shave it down.

"This is…"

The ultimate.

When I used it, I felt the power of achromatic colors.

"…What is this phenomenon?"

I pondered for a while and then realized the answer.

This was a boundary.

It was humanity's front line to block the place just before the demon race crossed over to Earth.

There were transcendents, and there were gods.

The divinity possessed by the gods.

And among the transcendents, there were those who used magic and those who used martial arts.

The remnants of power using only Unique Traits must be thanks to the principal's power.

Was that why?

When I stripped away the pure mana, what emerged was the power of the Ultimate Art.

A colorless force.

Among the powers I possessed, perhaps the most formidable ability.

It emerged.

Then…

"Let's create with this."

I'd create the third circle, the Morning Star.

There was a problem.

The attribute of this power.

The Ultimate Art.

The power I had named.

That power emerged from an even mixture of various elements.

"The ratio… isn't right."

Divine energy was the most abundant.

Next was something else, followed by the remnants of mana using internal energy and circles.

A power utilizing a very faint Unique Trait.

The problem was that divine energy was the most abundant, followed by another force.

I realized this not long after.

Demonic Qi.

Demonic Qi neutralized by divine power.

"Is this a problem?"

I asked myself.

However, my senses were telling me otherwise.

Demonic Qi had settled.

What was Demonic Qi?

It was the power that embodied negative emotions.

Gods wielded their power through the belief and faith people hold.

Then, demons drew power from negative emotions.

Sorrow, pain, hatred.

Such negative emotions, indeed.

Or through human sacrifices. They created their power with such means.

But what about now?

The negative energy they had created has been neutralized by divinity.

After some consideration, I decided to accept it.

Starting with just a little.

I didn't know which direction this would take.

It could be good, or it could be bad.

But I couldn't avoid trying just because of the risk.

'Just a minuscule amount.'

The colorless mana of the Ultimate Art.

I inhaled it.

It moved to my heart.

Was there anything unusual?

There was, indeed.

A pure, destructive force was trying to break the circle.

'Is it because of the demonic qi?'

An ordinary being would not attempt to create something based on this.

That thought crossed my mind.

But I was different.

A body forged by the Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra.

And the heart of a dragon.

It might be impossible for others.

But for me?

'I can do it.'

I was capable.

Colorless energy was slowly gathering.

The energies began to rebel.

-Who are you to imprison us?

They seemed to say as they started to resist.

I guide those energies. But it isn't perfect.

They began to rebel beyond my control.

But this was fine.

I created a circle.

Two hearts.

A massive ring encircling them.

But it was crooked.

It didn't matter. I continued to create the massive ring.

A near colorless aura formed a single ring.

This was a circle.

The next task was to engrave a magic formula here.

Glacial Heavenly Moon.

Brilliant Blazing Fire.

The rings I had created now.

I created the power to embrace them.

They began to be engraved onto the circle.

A kind of magic formula.

Engraving it onto the circle.

That was my circle formula.

Unlike others, it was why my circle could contain the attribute itself.

'What I'll engrave is…'

Before becoming the God of Magic.

The ring that was created by the Purple Tower Master.

Morning Star.

The power of the star was engraved onto the circle. Power obtained from the last enlightenment.

Originally, power that couldn't be engraved now.

However, I had already experienced many things.

I awakened the power of a god here.

I also awakened abilities called Unique Traits.

There was enlightenment too.

Originally, it was something to attempt upon becoming transcendent.

But now, it told me it was okay.

Woooooong!!

It resonated.

A huge circle and two smaller circles.

And then.

Whoosh.

The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique began to take hold.

The Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra started to shine.

Morning star.

A golden shining ring.

It began to settle.

Woong woong woong!

The circle I had created so far was starting to warp.

The achromatic force was trying to crush the circle I made.

'No way.'

The already completed circle.

It begins to press down on the achromatic force instead.

The power of the morning star.

The golden brilliance pressed them down.

As if it couldn't forgive those who act out in front of it.

Eventually, the third circle was completed.

It was saying.

Soon.

I would be able to ascend.

After the Duke of Extermination made a shocking statement, Shin Yura and the principal cast a somber atmosphere.

Was it because the Duke of Extermination showed the gap between them?

'Though the Duke of Extermination is strong, it's not an insurmountable wall.'

She was strong, but her strength leaned towards annihilation.

It was not a level that could not be caught up with steady progress and effort.

"…What?"

The Principal, who had been watching me for a moment, widened her eyes.

"No way, really? You've gotten this strong just by saying you'd train for a bit?"

"The boundary is good for training. The quality of mana is different."

"I knew it was different… but growing like this is a bit strange. I mean, if you could grow like this, others could too!"

"Well, maybe the mana here suits me well."

"Hmm…"

The Principal looked at me with a meaningful gaze.

The students just seemed to accept it as was.

'Well, I did show them something like that.'

Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.

Purple Tower Master.

Since I had shown those two appearances, it was understandable.

"Anyway, that's why I'm saying…"

"Hmm?"

"Let's bring the kids here."

"Hmm… the kids? Our students?"

"That's right."

"Well, this place is nice, but… isn't it a bit dangerous for them?"

"It's only a little dangerous, so it's fine. They can't always grow up delicately like flowers in a greenhouse."

"…That was considered a greenhouse?"

"Well, sort of."

The principal seemed at a loss for words at my comment.

Then, shaking her pigtails, she looked as if she'd had enough.

"I hear from others that I'm quite the old-fashioned person… but sometimes I wonder if even our kids are growing up too delicately."

"Sometimes?"

"…You must have heard it all the time."

"Well, it's an era without war. Once you grow to a certain extent, a life-and-death struggle is the fastest way to grow."

However.

How should I put it?

I didn't really want to let them die.

Raising them like greenhouse plants might be one way.

'That's not a good choice.'

This world was more dangerous than I thought.

There were usually less than ten beings called Transcendents.

But how about here?

There were over a hundred.

Whether it was Demons or Gods.

Including the new beings in those places.

'Normally, there are over 50 Transcendents and over 100 gods.'

It was clearly a strange world.

With so many Transcendents and gods, competition was inevitable.

But could they live well in this world?

I didn't know when I might die.

I had managed to endure so far, but if a being like the Demon God or its rival arrived.

'I can't hold on much longer.'

One hand could not block ten.

I could block ten hands, but if there were hundreds, it was difficult even for me.

So.

"Let's train them here."

If we pushed them to the brink, at least they'd reach the Supreme Realm.
