"So? Did you find your name yet?" Shin Senka asked.
Kanzaki Rei felt speechless internally, but his expression remained calm as he casually asked,
"Do we absolutely have to find our names to proceed to the next stage?"
Shin Senka twirled a strand of hair around her finger and answered indifferently,
"Of course."
"Only by finding your own name can you learn what kind of trial fate has assigned to you. Everyone's trial is different…"
So this Primordial Forbidden Magic is targeting me specifically?
His perception swept across all the names once again.
Still nothing.
No matter how he searched, he could not find it.
"And you? Did you find yours?"
"While you're at it, help me find mine too. If you really complete Mistress Lottie's request, then I'll put in a good word for you with her."
Yours?
I already found it a long time ago.
Shin Senka's name sat prominently in one corner of the space.
Even though she was a fantasy lifeform—
A special existence imagined into being by Lottie from nothing—
At this very moment, she possessed her own life.
And because of that, she was recognized as one of the living beings of the world.
Which made his own situation even stranger.
What exactly am I in this world?
Could it be because of the Unsolvable Mystery?
Is that why I've concealed my own existence?
But I already temporarily released the Unsovable Mystery…
"Is there really no other method? There are too many names here. Finding one should be incredibly difficult."
Shin Senka replied,
"This is the nexus where destinies intersect. Your own name will naturally resonate with you. You just follow the connection."
As she answered, she was already flying toward the direction of her own name.
Clearly, she had already sensed it.
…Forget it.
Let's make a wish.
「I will obtain the Eighth Forbidden Primordial Magic—Fate.」
Kanzaki Rei silently made the wish in his heart.
It occupied one of the wish slots he had not used in a very long time.
Ever since returning from the Reset Timeline, the only wish he had made was when obtaining a talent—and that wish had been fulfilled after he acquired the Death Priest talent.
As a result, all three wish slots had become empty again.
The moment the wish settled into place—
Suddenly, a storm of countless threads erupted before his eyes!
Fwoooosh!
Originally, every name extended innumerable ultra-thin, untouchable threads.
But now—
Within Kanzaki Rei's vision—
He saw countless threads violently disrupted and reorganized, as though a golden tempest had exploded across the vast space!
"Huh?"
"What's happening?!"
Shin Senka cried out in shock and hurriedly retreated several steps.
But there was nowhere to avoid it in this realm.
No matter where one fled, the storm would inevitably reach them!
BOOM!
The tempest swept through Shin Senka's body—
Yet it caused her no direct harm.
Instead, the destiny threads filling the world snapped apart one after another before reconnecting to entirely different names.
The positions of countless names throughout the space shifted dramatically as well.
This magnificent storm raged for several full minutes before it gradually calmed.
Shin Senka stared in stunned confusion.
"Kanzaki Rei… do you know what just happened?"
Mistress Lottie never mentioned anything like this…
Meanwhile, Kanzaki Rei's lips twitched slightly.
This phenomenon…
It seemed connected to his wish.
The storm had erupted the instant he made it.
"I don't know."
"Maybe it was just some kind of natural phenomenon…"
Even as he answered, his perception swept across the entire space once more.
And the moment he did—
Near Yakadikto's name, within a nearby region—
He found a tiny name glowing like pure gold.
Kanzaki Rei.
His name had appeared within the space from nothingness.
Yet it was wedged quietly between countless other names, small and inconspicuous.
As though he had merely failed to notice it before…
Rather than it having truly not existed from the beginning.
My Heart's Desire.
It had turned the impossible into reality.
"I found my name."
Shin Senka was still confused by the previous anomaly, but the moment she heard him speak, her twin tails practically stood on end.
"Where?!"
"Over there."
Shing!
Shin Senka suddenly felt her perception being shared with Kanzaki Rei's.
In a single instant, her awareness traversed an incomprehensibly vast distance!
Actually, Shin Senka's perception range was already enormous by normal standards—hundreds of billions of kilometers.
After all, she too was an Eighth-Tier existence.
But compared to Kanzaki Rei…
The difference was like comparing a candle to the sun.
So vast.
So unbelievably immense!
Like a child who had never seen the world before, Shin Senka failed to hide her amazement at all.
"Yours… why is it so huge?"
Kanzaki Rei raised a finger to his lips and chuckled softly.
"That's a secret. Don't tell anyone."
"Your name is over there."
At the same time, his perception pointed in another direction.
Following his guidance, Shin Senka quickly found her own name as well.
"It's really there!"
That location was even farther away—
A full 1.5 trillion kilometers distant.
And he could still see it?
That distance was absurd!
"You're really only Level 6?"
Kanzaki Rei shrugged.
"You don't believe me?"
"No, no… it's just way too ridiculous!"
"I was starting to believe it before, but honestly speaking, I really didn't lie to you."
His tone sounded completely sincere.
But after witnessing the terrifying scale of Kanzaki Rei's perception…
Shin Senka still felt the whole thing was utterly insane.
And just then—
BOOOOM!
The entire space suddenly shook violently!
An even grander golden storm than before roared into existence!
The savage tempest made both of them appear tiny and powerless by comparison.
Shin Senka could only stare in shock within the storm.
Meanwhile, Kanzaki Rei merely narrowed his eyes silently.
As expected…
It really was connected to his wishes.
The moment he made a wish, a massive storm spread throughout the entire space, severing and reorganizing the threads of fate.
So making a wish itself constituted altering destiny.
The destinies of countless beings had changed because of a single wish from him.
Shing!
Kanzaki Rei stepped forward and arrived at the very center of the entire space.
Only Yakadikto's name existed here—
Alongside the tiny golden name that had emerged from obscurity.
Kanzaki Rei.
"So long as I make a wish…"
"The entire world begins revolving around me."
His perception enveloped the whole Space of Fate while he himself stood at its center.
At that moment, he truly felt as though all heaven and earth, all existence itself, revolved around him alone.
Even the legendary Moon Sovereigns, beings of overwhelming power—
Their names were still scattered throughout the space.
Even their destinies were affected by his wishes.
Altered because of him.
At last…
He had witnessed it directly.
And suddenly, the gap between himself and the Moon Sovereigns no longer felt quite so insurmountable.
Immediately afterward, Kanzaki Rei arrived before his own name and gently touched it.
"Then let me see…"
"What exactly is so special about me."
"To the point where my name couldn't even be found here."
Kanzaki Rei did not doubt his own existence simply because his name had originally been absent from this place.
After all—
He was standing here right now.
