Immediately, everyone who considered themselves extraordinary looked up at the [Transcendent Ranking] in the sky, hoping their names would appear. After all, the ranking rewards of the [Immortal Beauty Ranking] had previously ignited the passion of countless people.
Some pantheons, factions, and organizations are also hoping that someone from their respective entities will be listed on the [Transcendent Ranking].
Even the proud gods have to admit that the ranking rewards for those who make it onto the list can instantly make up for hundreds or thousands of years of accumulated resources. In fact, some of the incredible ranking rewards can even make a god system stronger.

[Race: Demi-human]
[Strength: Lower Level]
[Introduction: A battle-hardened retired special forces soldier, now an extremist terrorist, possessing demi-human regeneration and a special ability: Black Phantom, capable of annihilating enemies of equal strength]
[Ranking Reward: Basic Ability Development]
……
[Ranked 99th: Hinami Fueguchi]
[Race: Ghoul]
[Strength: Lower Level]
[Introduction: An extremely rare ghoul possessing more than one type of kagune, inheriting the kagune from both parents, possessing excellent [ghoul power]?, and also possessing extremely sensitive sensory abilities. After receiving [basic physical modification], she compensated for the inherent weaknesses of a ghoul.]
[Ranking Reward: Basic Ability Development]
……
The projections of Sato and Hinami Fueguchi, both dressed in military uniforms, appeared on the [Transcendent Ranking]—
"This is so exciting right from the start! Undead demi-humans and ghouls have appeared!!!"
"An immortal demi-human? Do such creatures really exist in this world? And there are also cannibalistic ghouls. It's terrifying."
"Could it be that I'm the only one who noticed that Hinami Fueguchi is ranked eighty-seventh on the [Beauty Ranking]? So she's... a ghoul!!!"
"...Sigh, it's unbelievable that such a cute little girl is actually a man-eating monster."
"..."
"I've been to that café called 'Antique Shop' before. Are all the people there ghouls?"
"...It's possible. Just thinking about how I actually had such close contact with ghouls sends chills down my spine."
"...A café belonging to ghouls."
As Hinami Fueguchi's true identity was revealed, many people no longer looked at her with affection and admiration, but with deep fear, and she was subjected to all sorts of malicious words, such as being called a 'monster'.
There's nothing we can do about it.
No matter how cute and adorable Hinami Fueguchi may be, the thought that she is a monster that feeds on her will instantly transform any thoughts in her mind into the most primal fear under the threat of death and danger.
Sato's appearance on the [Transcendent Ranking] has caused some headaches for some official Japanese organizations. This hateful demi-human, Sato, will probably be even more difficult to capture after receiving the ranking reward.
……
Antique shop —
"Touka, Hinami, you two made the right decision just now."
Fangcun Gongshan's weathered eyes were fixed on the [Transcendent Ranking] through the window.
The fact that the [Dimensional Ranking] exposed the existence of ghouls so quickly was astonishing. He could foresee that if the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Office] hadn't invited them today, their antique shop might already be surrounded by CCG investigators.
They faced the possibility of total annihilation.
Irimi Kaname, Koma En'er, and others standing nearby nodded in agreement.
"Hinami, it's really amazing that you can be on two lists at the same time."
Kirishima Touka said happily to Fueguchi Hinami next to her.
She was also a participant on the [Fairy Beauty Ranking], so she naturally understood the benefits of each ranking. [Basic Ability Development]—although she didn't know what that meant or how strong it was, anything from the [Dimensional Ranking] would definitely benefit Hinami Fueguchi greatly, at least ensuring she would have the ability to protect herself.
"Sister Touka, you can do it too."
Hinami Fueguchi smiled shyly.
"...Me?"
Touka Kirishima did not respond. She was well aware of her own limitations; she was far inferior to Hinami Fueguchi in terms of talent, and at most, she was slightly better in terms of strength, but only to a limited extent.
Such a novice is only ranked ninety-ninth on the [Transcendent Ranking], and the possibility of her making the list is almost zero.

[Ranked 95th: Tsuchimiya Kagura]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Intermediate]
[Introduction: The successor of the Tsuchimiya family, an exorcist clan; a member of the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Office]; the heir to the spirit beast [Bai Rui]; possessing extremely high talent in Yin-Yang Dao.]
[Ranking Reward: Basic Ability Development]
……
[Ranked 90th: Isayama Yomi]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Intermediate]
[Introduction: The successor to the head of the Isayama family, an exorcist clan; a member of the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Office]; wielder of the legendary sword Lion King; hailed as a [prodigy]; possessing exceptional talent in Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang).]
[Ranking Reward: Basic Ability Development]
……
The rankings of Kagura Tsuchimiya and Yomi Isayama have surprised many people.
These two are also listed on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking], and it's unexpected that they have such profound backgrounds. They are the young masters of two exorcist families, and the information revealed on the [Transcendent Ranking] is more than that of Fueguchi Hinami, especially the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Office], a little-known supernatural organization, which is now being exposed to everyone's view for the first time.
"They're only ranked ninety!"
As the person involved, Isayama Yomi appears to be extremely dissatisfied with her ranking on the [Transcendent Ranking].
"Ninety is already quite a lot."
Kanzaki Teru explained, "Don't forget, the [Transcendent Ranking] records all beings below the King level. If it weren't divided by strength levels, you and Kagura, with your mere mid-level demon strength, wouldn't even be on the list."
"There are no fewer than a hundred Demon King-level powerhouses in the world, which is what the [Dimensional Ranking] calls the King level, not to mention the highest level below them."
Now, Isayama Yomi fell silent.
Indeed, there are too many strong people in this world. Those legendary demons, angels, gods... all those below the King level are recorded on the [Transcendent Ranking]. Being able to enter the [Transcendent Ranking] can be regarded as an affirmation of her strength and talent.
"Brother Hui, can you make the list?"
Tsuchimiya Kagura asked curiously.
"I'm afraid not, I don't meet the requirements for being on the [Transcendent Ranking]."
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's answer, not only Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura understood, but even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing nearby, comprehended it.
Not meeting the requirements —
They weren't naive enough to believe that Kanzaki Hikari wasn't on the list due to insufficient strength. Clearly, Kanzaki Hikari's strength far exceeded the requirements of the [Transcendent Ranking]—
Strength beyond the King level!!!
Suddenly——
Having understood the meaning of the King-level rank, Yomi Isayama and Kagura Tsuchimiya looked at Teru Kanzaki with surprise.
They had always known that Kanzaki Hikaru was very strong, but they had never thought of him as being at the King level. After all, that was the exclusive level of God Kings, Demon Kings, Seraphim, and so on.
Throughout history, very few people have been able to reach this level; they are all great figures who exist only in legends and history.
this moment.
A sense of pride welled up in Isayama Yomi's heart.
Look, this is the man she has chosen, a being who can completely rival the Demon King, the God King, and the Seraphim.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gradual Exposure
As the [Transcendent Ranking] continues to be released.
Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura both realized that, setting aside the gods and demons, even within the realm of Yin-Yang Dao of their age group, their talent and strength were not the highest; there were far more beings who surpassed them.
Or perhaps they underestimated this world and the Yin-Yang Dao. After all, this world has never lacked true prodigies.
