Lucky charms.
The Onmyōji present, especially Utaha, Yomi and the others' superiors, like Jingūji Ayame, Kurahashi Miyo, Tsuchimikado Arima, they wouldn't truly think that the lucky charms given by Emperor Shin were really bought from a supermarket or requested from a certain shrine. After all, what God in Japan was capable of withstanding Emperor Shin's request?
Most likely, just with a slight bow from Emperor Shin, that entire faith would directly collapse.
These lucky charms were probably in every sense, charms that truly protected their safety, sufficient to keep them safe no matter what happened or any big problems they caused in the Three Realms.
Although they didn't know whether these lucky charms contained Great Power from Emperor Shin, but the fact that they were lucky charms bestowed by Emperor Shin alone was already sufficient to make the gods not dare act rashly.
After two small interludes in the North Pole Region and Kyoto, the announcement of the Transcendent List standing in the sky continued.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank Twentieth: Jörmungandr]
[Power: Devil King Level's Limit]
[Race: Dragon Race]
[Introduction: Jörmungandr the Apocalypse Giant Dragon, one of the Dragon Kings. Originating from the Nordic Pantheon, Dragon Race created by Evil God Loki. Its body is very large but very lazy. The Nordic Gods don't know how to utilize it, so they let it sleep in the sea, and it will only become active on doomsday... Has hope to break through to the Transcendent realm...]
[Ranking Reward: Enlightenment Card (Transcendent) * 2]
...
[Rank Nineteenth: Hecate]
[Power: Devil King Level's Limit]
[Race: Crimson Lord]
[Introduction: Supreme Throne belonging to Bal Masqué, Great Priestess head of the Three Pillars. Represents the symbol of hope and desire for Crimson Denizens. She possesses nearly infinite Existence Power, sufficient to rival a Crimson God. Has hope and potential to break through to the Transcendent realm.]
[Ranking Reward: Hope Divine Authority]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Do you realize, the description about Hecate changed, not only has hope to break through to Transcendent, but also has potential."
Many sharp-eyed ordinary people immediately found a very subtle difference in the introduction between Hecate and previous ones like Seraph Gabriel, Michael, as well as Devil King Serafall and Dragon Kings.
Many ordinary people began discussing and giving their personal opinions.
"Hope and potential might have a very big difference. If not for Hecate's description, we almost confused the previous ones."
"It's just, I don't know where the difference is..."
"Hope seems like the power standard has already reached the standard, while potential, like Gasper Vladi and Millicas Gremory at the beginning, represents the upper limit of one's own potential. Of course, this is all just my personal guess."
"If according to your words, Hecate should have a greater possibility to break through to Transcendent than Devil King Serafall, Gabriel from Heaven, and the Dragon Kings..."
"Shouldn't be far different..."
"I think after this Hope Divine Authority, Hecate will be even closer to Transcendent."
"Hope Divine Authority is exactly the same as Arbitrator Divine Authority obtained by Shana, third place on the previous Supremacy List. Both can provide a direct gateway to the Transcendent realm."
"What a pity, if only Hecate was human. I don't know if Shana will enter the Transcendent List."
Various discussions revolved around Hecate. Although they were all just ordinary people who hadn't trained, it had to be admitted that some important points they indeed said correctly.
Regarding this, many gods had the same view.
They almost all agreed that after the Transcendent List finished being announced, Hecate would definitely be able to break through to the Transcendent realm. Now, the Crimson Realm would have a new Crimson God besides the three already known Crimson Gods. The Crimson Realm, or this Crimson Denizen organization Bal Masqué, couldn't be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the Flame Hazes seeing this scene became slightly gloomy.
The increase in Bal Masqué's power was the most unfavorable news for them. At this moment, they very much hoped Shana, the contractor of God of Judgement, could also enter the Transcendent List, even be able to suppress Hecate.
However, until now Shana's figure hadn't been seen on the Transcendent List. They in their hearts had already silently realized that Shana probably wouldn't enter the Transcendent List.

Bal Masqué.
"Excellent, as long as the Great Priestess successfully breaks through to the Transcendent realm, we don't need to fear even if there's obstruction from the God of Judgement's contractor."
A Crimson Denizen named Mammon was very happy.
Not just him who was excited. Almost all Crimson Denizens and Crimson Lords gathered throughout Seireiden now shouted with joy, cheering for the Great Priestess's majesty.
As long as the Great Priestess could break through to the Transcendent realm, the desire pursued throughout the Crimson Denizens' lifetime was only one step away from success.
In the face of absolute power, all previous worries would disappear. They could freely practice their pleas and wishes.
"Hecate..."
Sydonay who had just returned from outside, looked at the Transcendent List in the sky, especially the projection of Hecate reflected, then looked at the shrine where Hecate always prayed in the depths, and inevitably a slightly complicated expression appeared in his heart.
Suddenly, a voice clear as a lark but without the slightest emotion, echoed throughout the vast Seireiden.
"I will leave Seireiden for a few days, to look for Hikaru."
Once those words fell, without waiting for any answer, the aura belonging to Hecate disappeared from Seireiden.
Sydonay's face became gloomy. He had also received some information lately, added with some speculation, there were too many secrets hidden about his close friend Hikaru, even related to that legendary humanity's only Transcendent.
"If Hikaru truly is Emperor Shin, that will be a good thing for us,"
At this moment, Bel-Peol came to Sydonay's side, and said.
"Hopefully so, but, you also know the information lately. At least for now, being too deeply involved with that person is very disadvantageous for Hecate."
"Even so, what can you do? Can you stop Hecate?!"
Bel-Peol stared at Sydonay with an interesting expression.
Sydonay fell silent.
After all, he still clearly remembered how Hecate became uncontrollable when Hikaru disappeared.
