Furthermore, the existence of Mimonin has always been a threat to Onmyōdō.
pity--
Fantasy is beautiful, reality is harsh.
Both Hagoromo Gitsune and Anbe no Kichihei possess Demon King-level strength, and these people alone cannot stop them unless the Azure Emperor intervenes.
However, the Azure Emperor's silence now clearly signifies his approval of this matter. If they dare to interrupt and incur the displeasure of the Azure Emperor, the only one to surpass him, then things will go awry.
This gentleman—
From the moment they appeared, they showed no enthusiasm for the Yin-Yang Dao, mostly ignoring it completely. Perhaps in their eyes, the Yin-Yang Dao was truly dispensable. Under these circumstances, they dared not say anything.
They feared that they would be killed by this man's sword light as soon as they escaped danger.
Then, they will be the ones who are truly wronged.

Chapter 125: Surpassing the Ranking
The deaths of Li Zeweim and Anbei Seimei did not cause much of a stir.
After all, whether in the eyes of the gods or the Onmyoji—
The moment Kanzaki Hikaru, the only human to surpass, appeared, their fates were already sealed; the only difference was how and when they would die.
Besides——
The [Dimensional Ranking] is about to be released again. Even the biggest events seem insignificant compared to the [Dimensional Ranking].
As time passed, not only did that sublime and mighty power grow stronger, but various strange phenomena also appeared in the world—
until--
"boom"
A deafening roar—
An incomparably dense, supreme power permeated the entire world, causing the azure sky to drastically change. Day and night began their ceaseless cycle, and the blazing sun retreated. "693"
The [Dimensional Ranking] that blotted out the sky and replaced the entire heavens reappeared.
"The [Dimensional Ranking] is about to be released again!"
"I wonder what kind of list this is, and what kind of shocking information it will bring us."
"...Hopefully, humanity can secure a place on the new list this time!"
"hope!"
"...Hey, aren't you guys curious about the earthquake-like tremors just now, and that blue light? It seems to be Kanzaki Hikaru's [Godslayer]."
"It must be a battle between Kanzaki Teru and some powerful figure."
"..."
In human conversation—
Under the gaze of all living beings in the world—ordinary people, Onmyoji, yokai, demons, angels, gods…—line after line of text slowly emerged from that enormous, sky-covering [Dimensional Ranking].
[Beyond the Rankings - Coming Soon]
[This section includes individuals worldwide with the potential to transcend, those who have touched the realm of transcendence, and those who have transcended—assessed based on strength, potential, and luck.]
[Beyond the Rankings - Updated every three months]
[Beyond the Rankings - Data Collection Begins -]
[Beyond the Rankings - In Progress -]
……
"【The Surpass Ranking】, isn't that the strongest people standing at the very top of the world?"
"I never expected the [Dimensional Ranking] to be so ambitious, directly revealing the world's strongest individuals."
"We'll really wait and see which beings are truly transcendent."
"..."
With the emergence of the [Dimensional Ranking], many people have come to understand the meaning of the term 'Transcendent', which appears on the [Dimensional Ranking] from time to time.
Those are truly the strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of the world—
An existence far surpassing the level of a demon king!!
"Alas, is there no hope for humanity this time either?!"
Some ordinary people said with a hint of uncertainty.
after all--
This [Transcendence Ranking] is different from the previous [Divine Artifact Ranking] and [Transcendent Ranking]; it represents the strongest individuals in the world.
—Do such a human being really exist?! No one dares to be sure, and no one has even speculated about it.
……
[Ranked 40th: Gaspar Vladi]
[Strength: Top-tier Demon]
Race: Hybrid Vampire
[Introduction: Possessing the divine artifact [The Evil Eye That Stops the World], the Demon God Balor's origins have been completed, giving him the potential to grow into a transcendent being...]
[Ranking Reward: Top-Tier Demon King Power (Can be freely fused)]
……
"It's that vampire! I never expected him to have the potential to break through and advance to the Transcendent level!!!"
The gods have been paying close attention to the emergence of the [Transcendence Ranking] from the very beginning, which is no longer a disgrace to their initial disdain for the [Artifact Ranking] and [Transcendence Ranking].
Come to think of it—
Transcendent beings! How many transcendent beings are there among the gods? Moreover, the appearance of the [Transcendent Ranking] will undoubtedly expose those who have the potential and hope to climb into the realm of transcendent beings. It is impossible for such beings, who even the gods have to look up to, not to attract attention.
As for why the "Beyond Ranking" only includes forty places.
It's actually quite easy to understand. After all, the number of people possessing the potential to transcend has already greatly exceeded the gods' expectations. If it were truly like the [Divine Artifact Ranking], [Transcendent Ranking], and [Immortal Beauty Ranking], all with a hundred names, then transcendent beings wouldn't be making much money in this world...
It’s impossible even if you think about it!
Norse pantheon —
"The potential of a transcendent being... I have to say, Sazex's sister really hit the jackpot."
Odin sighed.
"But that guy Ruger probably won't be calm."
……
The Underworld
"The [Ranking Reward: Root Completion] that Gaspar Vladi previously borrowed has greatly restored his original potential, so it seems reasonable that he was able to climb onto the [Transcendence Ranking]!"
Sazex didn't seem too surprised by this.
"That being said, we in the underworld will likely be targeted by many parties in the future."
"Let them target us then, it's been going on for a while now..."
"From now on, the protection for Gaspar Vladi and Rias will need to be raised several levels."
……
Private Kuou Academy——
"Gaspar has made it onto the [Beyond Ranking]."
Sitting in the Mysticism Research Club, Rias looked out the window at the [Transcendence Ranking] with a slight sense of disbelief and a hint of panic.
This scene was far beyond her expectations. Although she was pleased that her subordinate possessed such amazing potential, the drawbacks were even more obvious. The gods would never stand by and watch Gaspar grow up.
Although she knew that the Underworld would never abandon Gaspar, she was afraid that something unexpected might happen. For someone without strength or a background that even the gods feared, climbing the [Transcendence Ranking] would be a death sentence.
No one would stand idly by and watch as a supreme being rises above everyone else in the world.
"It seems we have no choice but to seek his help."
Rias looked toward the Shinomiya residence.
There dwells a being so powerful that even the gods fear him: the Azure Emperor among humans.
Having just learned from her brother Sirzechs that Kanzaki Hikaru is the legendary Blue Emperor, Rias was so shocked that she couldn't contain herself for a long time; it was simply too unbelievable.
but--
With Kanzaki Teru's protection, no one would dare to mess with Gaspar, including Ruger, who wanted to grind Gaspar to dust.
Chapter 126: The Underworld Feels Intense Pressure
Although Gaspar's ascent to the [Transcendence Ranking] caused some turmoil in the Three Realms, all of this was done in secret.
This did not interfere with the continued publication of the [Transcendent Ranking] in the slightest.
Or rather, it's a well-known fact that no one in the world has the ability to interfere with the [Dimensional Ranking].
Immediately—
The projection displayed on the [Beyond Ranking] was a polite, red-haired boy, roughly the same age as Gaspar Frazier from before. His appearance on the ranking caused Rias, who had just calmed down at the private Kuoh Academy, to feel her spirits rise again.
"Milligas!"
Rias couldn't help but mutter to herself.
……
[Ranked 39th: Miligas Gremory]
[Strength: Mid-level Demon]
