Chapter 438: Breakthrough to Mid-Stage Main God! Mind-Boggling Speed!
...
"Eastern delicacies? I'll definitely give them a try when I have the chance," Artoria responded earnestly.
A suggestion coming directly from a God was certainly worth putting on her to-do list.
Seito said no more and pulled up his personal status panel.

[Weapon: Space-Time Cube (Origin Treasure)]
As of this morning, his Creation Energy quota had been fully satisfied. He was now completely ready to break through to the Mid-Stage Main God Realm.
I'll head out to complete the ascension right after lunch, he resolved.
"What a shame," Seito mused inwardly, eyeing his Space-Time Cube. It was a slight pity his Origin Treasure couldn't directly absorb Creation Energy. If it could, he would have already hunted down veteran Main Gods to harvest their energy reserves directly.
"Luckily, my clones all possess Main God Realm strength. Otherwise, who knows how long this would take," Seito smiled casually, closing out the status window.
Truth be told, the staggering speed of his progress wasn't just due to his clones being Main God strength. There was another crucial factor at play!
Relying solely on clones to gather ambient Creation Energy across space would still be relatively slow. However, it was a completely different story when lower-tier gods searching for energy crossed paths with his clones.
Any subordinate deity unlucky enough to run into Seito's Main God clones suffered an instantaneous, ruthless wipeout!
Plundering enemies of their hard-earned spoils was undeniably the fastest way to accumulate wealth! That was the true secret behind Seito's explosive accumulation of Creation Energy.
Turning to face young Sakura—whose face was now dabbed with grease—Seito reached out and gently wiped her mouth clean with a napkin.
"Thank you, big brother~" Sakura offered a sweet, polite smile.
"You're calling me big brother, no need to be so formal," Seito chuckled softly.
"Hehe~" Sakura giggled happily.
The party wrapped up their meal shortly after. Saying goodbye to Artoria and Irisviel, Seito led Nyaruko and Sakura straight back toward their hotel. Having explored enough of the city for one day, they planned to relax indoors for the rest of the afternoon.
Upon returning to their suite, Seito turned to Nyaruko: "Nyaruko, keep an eye on Sakura for a bit. I'm going to step out and make my breakthrough."
"Breaking through already?!" Nyaruko blinked, completely dumbfounded.
During her time spent around him on Earth and the DanMachi world, she had learned quite a bit about Seito's background. It hadn't been long since he first ascended to the Main God Realm, yet here he was, breaking through again already!
She knew he possessed a specialized high-tier cloning technique. Sending out Main God clones to hunt for Creation Energy was bound to be efficient, but... this was absurdly fast!
"Besides gathering ambient energy, my clones have been ambushing and executing lower gods sent out by other factions," Seito explained, anticipating her confusion.
"Alright then..." Nyaruko's lips twitched slightly.
She couldn't care less about the deaths of random lower gods. However, if the high-tier Main Gods standing behind those slain deities ever found out Seito was hunting their subordinates, they would move heaven and earth to crush him!
Without lingering any longer, Seito's figure flickered and vanished from the room.
Deep Space... Beyond Planet Type-Moon.
Crossing into the vacuum of space outside the planet, Seito sat cross-legged in the silent cosmic void. With a single thought—
Zip~!
The Space-Time Cube materialized, hovering steadily around his body.
Unsure if breaking through to the Mid-Stage Main God Realm would unleash massive energy ripples, Seito used the Origin Treasure's stealth field to completely mask his presence and rank from the cosmos.
Buzz~~!
Enveloped in a shimmering veil of purple and green light, Seito wasted zero time initiating the breakthrough.
The sensation of expanding Omniscience and Omnipresence rushed through his mind, clearing away all stray thoughts as his consciousness entered a profound, elevated state.
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
Seito felt his divine authority surge to an entirely new peak! Effortless and smooth as drinking a glass of water, the breakthrough to Mid-Stage Main God Realm was complete!
"That was it?"
Feeling the newfound power surging through his veins, Seito opened his eyes and summoned his status panel.

[Weapon: Space-Time Cube (Origin Treasure)]
He had successfully reached the Mid-Stage Main God Realm. However, breaking through to the Late-Stage required ten times the amount of Creation Energy—a whopping 10,000 units!
That was quite a heavy requirement. Still, Seito was immensely satisfied with his current pace.
At the very least... he held absolute confidence that within a single year, he would fully catch up to peak Main Gods like Arceus!
Closing out the panel, he vanished back into the atmosphere of Planet Type-Moon.
Fuyuki City, Hotel Suite.
Looking at Seito, who had returned in less than half an hour, Nyaruko asked with wide eyes: "You're done already?!"
"Yep," Seito nodded, stretching lazily as he sank onto the bed. "Once this Fourth Holy Grail War concludes, we'll take our leave."
"Where are we heading next?" Nyaruko asked with genuine interest.
"Planet Pokémon," Seito answered. He intended to visit both of these iconic worlds he knew so well. After touring Planet Type-Moon and Planet Pokémon for a while, it would be about time to head back to Earth.
"Sounds good to me!" Nyaruko nodded cheerfully.
"Are big brother and big sister leaving this planet soon?" Sakura chimed in suddenly from the side.
"That's right," Seito turned to the little girl, asking softly: "What's on your mind, Sakura?"
He wasn't surprised that she understood the concept of different planets. Though young, Sakura was a remarkably sharp and perceptive child.
