Chapter 313: Ascending to the God-King Realm! The Spatial God-King!
....
Deep within his spiritual consciousness, the Spatial Divinity Core floating at the center of the galaxy began to transform.
Upon absorbing the massive reserve of divine energy, Seito's Spatial Divinity Core erupted with a blinding purple radiance! The light grew more brilliant and magnificent by the second until—
BOOM!
An overwhelming, regal pressure exploded from within Seito's frame!
The cataclysmic shockwave rippled furiously across the entire galaxy. Meteors, stray planetoids, and dead moons drifting too close to his position were instantly crushed into stardust.
This was the absolute majesty of the God-King Realm!
Across the vast expanse of the Divine Star Domain, independent gods felt an impossibly heavy weight slam down onto their shoulders, forcing them to grit their teeth and push their powers to the absolute limit just to stay standing. The localized gravity of the entire domain felt like it had been multiplied ten-thousandfold under his passive aura.
"So... so powerful...!"
"Is this the true strength of the God-King Realm?!"
"This is completely ridiculous!"
"Damn it! If he's already reached the God-King rank, what chance do we have left to claim the spoils of this war and move up to the God-King Star Domain?!"
Rage and despair echoed through the divine channels. The ones crying out loudest were the high-tier gods who held grand ambitions of advancing to higher cosmic planes.
Seito's successful breakthrough had dramatically raised the difficulty of the entire Divine War, plunging the remaining competitors into misery.
Back near the gaming planet...
Pfft~!
A mouthful of divine blood sprayed from Tet's lips.
As the person standing closest to Seito, he had taken the full force of that sudden shockwave—not to mention the massive energy he had spent insulating the Fatui Harbingers, Holou, and the structural integrity of Disboard itself!
"Unbelievable... absolutely phenomenal!"
Tet muttered, his eyes wide with shock.
The power of a God-King was simply too terrifying. Even as someone sitting at the absolute peak of the standard Deity realm, he could barely hold himself together against Seito's passive aura. Had Seito actually intended to attack, the results would have been disastrous.
Noticing Tet coughing up blood, Seito immediately reined in his aura, pulling the surging energy back into his core until his presence was completely controlled and contained.
Only then did Tet let out a long, ragged breath of relief.
At that exact second, a high-priority system prompt flashed across Seito's vision.
[SYSTEM ALERT]: System logs confirm successful ascension to the "God-King Realm." Global status interface refreshed.
[SYSTEM ALERT]: Your Divine Title has been officially modified. Current Designation: Spatial God-King.
[ SERVER-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENT ]
"The God of Space — Seito" has successfully broken through to the God-King Realm! Let all entities across the cosmic matrix bear witness and celebrate the birth of a Supreme Sovereign!
The moment the server-wide golden announcement flashed across the sky, countless players across the network were struck dumb.
"God... God-King?!"
"Holy crap?! Is that the max rank level I think it is?"
"Wait, hold on a second! Are you guys missing the real bombshell here? Boss Sei's real name just got leaked by the system announcement!"
"Seito?! Oh my god! It actually is!"
The sudden birth of a God-King was enough to drive the player base into a frenzy, but the accidental exposure of Seito's real name added fuel to the fire.
Behind the scenes, executives of real-world mega-corporations and influential families immediately logged off, mobilizing their real-world intelligence networks to track down anyone named Seito.
Their search parameters were incredibly specific: anyone named Seito with white hair, striking blue eyes, and an intricate, golden hexagram star pattern etched into his pupils. With such explicit physical traits, every major faction moved at top speed to locate him.
Back in space...
Hearing the system's global broadcast, Seito paused for a moment.
"So the system bypassed my privacy settings and exposed my real name, huh?" Seito muttered to himself.
Having his real name broadcast to the world was definitely a headache. It looked like whenever he visited the real world from now on, he would have to keep a low profile.
Seito silently decided that a pair of dark sunglasses would be a mandatory part of his casual outfits; otherwise, dealing with endless corporate scouts and paparazzi would become a nightmare.
Shifting his focus back to his personal progress, he pulled up his updated interface.

His remaining divine energy sat at eight hundred and fifty thousand points. To reach the Middle-stage God-King realm, the system required a staggering fifty million points.
That was no small number.
Tapping his chin thoughtfully, Seito realized he would need to start hunting down the independent gods of the domain.
Fortunately, the Divine War had only just begun. He had plenty of time to gather a massive fortune of divine power before moving on to the higher God-King Star Domain.
Additionally, upgrading his Spatial Divine Set required the exact same amount—fifty million points. Once he secured that sum, upgrading his gear would give a massive boost to his overall combat strength.
"Seito, how does it feel?"
Sora floated over from Tet's side, examining Seito up and down with intense curiosity.
Seito felt completely different now. Even with his aura fully suppressed, a natural aura of absolute authority radiated from him. It was the undeniable weight of a supreme ruler—a quiet pressure so heavy that Sora felt an instinctual urge to drop to his knees.
"Phenomenal," Seito replied with a calm, deeply satisfied smile. "I've never felt this powerful."
The sheer amount of authority at his disposal was intoxicating. Seito knew intuitively that, if not for the safety restrictions built into the divine system, he could destroy this entire star system with a casual flick of his wrist. Within this lower domain, no one could match him.
"Thanks for your help just now, Tet," Seito added, turning toward the God of Games with a sincere nod.
Had Tet not used his own energy to shield the area, several of the weaker Harbingers would have suffered severe injuries from the pressure, and the legions down on Disboard would have been wiped out by the atmospheric force.
"Don't worry about it," Tet responded, shaking his head slightly. "Just a small detail in the grand game."
Seito looked around the group. While the main Harbingers were present, the three queens of Elkia were missing from the platform.
Extending his spatial awareness downward, he scanned the planet below. He quickly found the three queens in the royal palace, actively managing emergency protocols and restoring public order.
At the same time, his sensors picked up traces of divine energy across the capital city. It was clear that during his breakthrough, the three queens had used their own energy as a secondary shield to protect the population from whatever pressure leaked past Tet's barrier.
Seito closed his sensory feed, thoroughly satisfied with their quick thinking and management.
Glancing briefly at Holou—who was staring at him with endless analytical calculations flashing in her eyes—Seito turned and began his descent toward the planet's surface.
"Let's go. It's time to wrap up the administrative details of this world."
At his command, the group exchanged quick nods. Within seconds, everyone fell into formation, following closely behind the Spatial God-King as they flew down through the atmosphere toward the capital of Elkia.
