I Gain a God-Tier Talent Every Level

Chapter 300

The Secret Sea... why has it turned into this?

Rhein scratched his head, utterly baffled.

He’d heard that the Secret Sea was heading toward apocalypse—but what was he supposed to do about it?

Apparently, if you killed yourself, you could just return.

But... killing yourself hurt.

If he could avoid it, he’d rather not.

Besides—

he was curious.

What exactly was going to happen to the Secret Sea?

Rhein had always been curious, always eager to explore everything the world had to offer.

As for danger...

Well, if he ran into it, he’d just chalk it up to bad luck. Haha.

"...This is kind of a problem, though."

Floating in the sea, Rhein looked at the monsters surging toward him from all directions.

Seventh-tier monsters?

Yeah... this was bad.

If it were just a few sixth-tier Continental-class monsters, he could handle it.

But this many seventh-tier creatures?

That felt like the end of the line.

Guess this is where I die~

Rhein scratched the back of his head, wearing a helpless smile.

Before him, a monster’s massive jaws opened—

about to snap shut!

And then—

Shhh!

The darkness inside that unknown creature’s maw—

suddenly exploded into colorful fireworks!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fireworks burst in dazzling succession!

"Ohhh~"

"To think I’d run into a poor passerby in distress here—hahahaha! Looks like you’ve been saved."

A man with brown curly hair appeared out of nowhere.

The instant he showed up—

all the surrounding monsters transformed into celebratory fireworks.

Fireworks?

Rhein tilted his head. "Who are you?"

"Just a kind passerby, haha~ Been dodging a bunch of terrifying guys chasing me these past few days. Hid here for a bit, and suddenly this place turned into... well, this."

"I’ve got a feeling there’s something down below."

"Wanna go take a look together?"

"...Me?"

Rhein chuckled. "We just met, didn’t we?"

The curly-haired man laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, it’s fine! I feel like we get along great already~ You from the Yakaticto faction?"

Rhein didn’t hesitate at all.

"Yep."

"Ohhh, perfect! I had a friend who used to be part of the Church of Fortune..."

The two hit it off instantly.

Conversation flowed effortlessly—

and the monsters that had nearly killed Rhein moments ago were completely forgotten.

—

[Secret Sea — Deep Sea]

Golden holy flames burned continuously.

Even underwater, there was no sign of them extinguishing.

The Parasitic Sea recoiled under the flames.

Its colorful "body" melted away under the relentless burning.

This divine artifact—

its boost to combat power was simply outrageous.

Kanzaki Rei even felt that with this sword alone, even without Apex State, he could defeat the Golden Dragon with ease—

as long as he could keep up with its speed.

This blade...

should be capable of cutting through even the Golden Dragon’s scales.

Which meant—

against anything below Tier 8, breaking defenses wouldn’t be difficult.

...Though of course, he had another method of bypassing defenses entirely—

attacking the target’s death date directly.

As for these monsters—

their death dates were generally hundreds of years away.

Perhaps that meant someone would eventually come to deal with them centuries later.

Streams of multicolored currents surged toward Kanzaki Rei!

They were liquid—

yet also the sea—

and also living entities.

Whoosh!

The sword thrust into the colorful mass.

Though it pierced no solid form—

the creature’s paint-like body ignited and burned.

A formless being.

This place was already the sea—

and it too was the sea.

The two had merged completely.

At the same time—

Kanzaki Rei’s perception of matter picked up more detail.

This was a kind of substance.

A special liquid.

Golden flames burned from multiple points simultaneously.

The Parasitic Sea inevitably collapsed—

and in the end—

transformed into a vast expanse of iridescent undead behind him.

It spread across the ocean—

like a massive net.

Splash—!

Behind him—

countless monsters continued to pursue.

...No.

Not necessarily pursuing him.

After observing more closely—

Kanzaki Rei realized—

they were actually chasing Kumironi.

Or rather—

every monster within tens of thousands of kilometers was being drawn toward her.

Once he realized their true target—

he couldn’t help but recall something.

Back then—

Ertimys had also targeted Kumironi.

A god—

traveling all the way from the Moonsea’s stronghold—

just to capture her in the Secret Sea.

Thinking about it now—

there was no way it was something simple.

Considering Kumironi’s potential as a healer—

Was she some kind of... irresistible prize?

Still—

there was no way Kanzaki Rei would abandon her.

In a place swarming with monsters—

where she was the primary target—

and had never shown the ability to defeat seventh-tier enemies—

he couldn’t just leave her to fend for herself.

Splash—! Splash—!

After finally defeating the Parasitic Sea—

the monsters surged again.

But this time—

as they charged forward—

they entered the body of the Parasitic Sea.

Kanzaki Rei watched as their bodies visibly turned multicolored.

Then—

their forms blurred—

and within mere seconds—

they dissolved into color itself.

And through the entire process—

they didn’t resist at all.

The Parasitic Sea had no killing intent.

No will.

It was like seawater.

The only difference—

was that when it detected prey—

it spread toward it, like dye dispersing in water.

That was its method of hunting.

And undead—

lacking killing intent—

were seen as non-hostile.

Monsters would actively hunt intelligent lifeforms.

But for low-intelligence beings—

it was like zombies encountering their own kind.

They ignored each other—

unless attacked first.

"...This is actually pretty useful."

This descent—

had significantly expanded his undead army.

With a casual gesture—

tentacles writhed, and walls of flesh and shell rose.

All of them—

seventh-tier monsters.

Within his personal underworld—

he now had hundreds.

Maintaining combat state—

Kanzaki Rei continued descending.

About half an hour passed.

[God-Tier · Apex State] had now stacked for a full hour.

His physical strength—

had reached 60,000 times his base state.

Only the damage reduction required sustained combat with specific targets to accumulate.

Then—

suddenly—

the sea grew quiet.

Silent.

Dark.

The seawater thinned.

It no longer felt like being underwater—

but like drifting through a vapor-filled void.

Then—

his perception touched something.

A curved surface.

A hemispherical outline entered his awareness.

Kanzaki Rei’s heart pounded violently as he accelerated toward it.

Soon—

the full shape came into view within his perception.

A massive sphere—

like a planet.
