Chapter 182. Slapped to death
The person in front of him looked exactly like Rei but had blood red hair.
"So you're the one he said that almost killed brother. The little stunt you pulled with his soul almost erased him." 'Rei' said as the system god narrowed his eyes.
"You're not him. Who are you?" The system god said as he used Ultra-Instinct once more.
The person in front of him was had the cultivation of a Peak God rank but he knew he couldn't afford to be careless especially since his body was slightly weak right now.
"I'm Kyra, the dear eldest sister of my brother from his past life." 'Rei' smiled as the system god felt like he/she was insane. The body she was in was clearly male.
"And since you almost killed dear bother, you should pay with your life." She smiled as the system god instantly felt danger.
He did a round house kick behind him mixed with Saitama's strength.
*BOOOMMM!!!!
The system god gritted his teeth as he felt the impact rebounded back to him.
"My strength only recovered a little since the old bastard died so I'm only at Peak God. But brother's body is no doubt at the True God Emperor rank." She smiled coldly as she reached out her hand.
The system god bent backwards as he created a force barrier in front of him.
*PING
The barrier was broken easily as the system god took a moment to regain his breath. Just a single kick with all his strength could barely do anything to her and instead rebounded the damage back to him.
'She or he said something about the body being at True God Emperor... it seems like not only Eve was a remnant of the old war.' The system god frowned as his mind worked.
'The demon god and slaughter god had their sights on Rei as well. The demon god have said that he was more of a demon than we thought. The war god couldn't see his past life... If I understand, then Rei would have been against our forces back in the old war. He died however, and this person in front of me is his sister or brother that is using his old body? What the fuck?!'
Kyra suddenly grinned as she clutched her hand and pulled back. The space seemed to shift as the system god suddenly realised, she was just in front of him.
"Just the physical prowess of a True God Emperor Rank could affect the reality we are in. Back then, brother could single handily take on three True God Emperors. As revenge, you can have a taste of its power." She said as she formed a knife hand and cut towards the system god.
His eyes shifted as his iris became a mix of red and black.
'Kamui!'
The chop faded through his body as a dagger appeared in his hand and pierced towards her eyes.
Using her spare hand, she pinched the dagger tip.
The system god's hand suddenly fazed through the dagger as his hand reached for her soul. Rei wasn't the only one who knew how to mix skills. He managed to mix an attack method on the soul to Kamui so it allowed him to avoid physical attacks in the meantime.
Kyra smiled as the system god suddenly had a bad feeling.
A god's intuition was nothing to laugh at as it helped save the lives of many gods. Trusting his intuition, the system god quickly jumped backwards.
Looking at 'Rei', he saw that she was holding a dagger which had a black aura around it.
"Aya, seems like you dodged it." Kyra smiled not bothered about the fact that the system god avoided her dagger.
The system god frowned as he tried to make a link to HQ. He needed to either send information about her or get reinforcements to help take care of her.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be an interference as the link couldn't form.
The system god sighed slightly before his gaze hardened.
Kyra stopped smiling as she felt danger from the system god like never before.
'Gon Freecss nen ability - Limitation Transformation' The system god thought as his aura flared out like never before. It seemed like the heavens were breaking as he started to forcefully cultivate power.
The ability Limitation Transformation allowed for Gon to gain the power he'll ever have in an instant. Or rather enough to defeat the foe in front of him.
A golden aura appeared together with his Ultra Instinct aura as the system god glared at 'Rei'. Right now, his physical power no doubt reached the True God Emperor rank but his cultivation remained at True God rank. When a person reaches God Hood, their rank was determined at the start. Whether or not they could live up to that potential was up to them as a peak god could lose to a high god.
However, the price for forcefully raising up his physical prowess was already showing his blood could be seen seeping out of his muscles.
The system god didn't wait any longer as he only had a 20% compatibility, meaning he had 0% compatibility should he have not gained the God Title.
At this point, each of their punches could shatter a lower realm as the system god fought on.
Exchanging blows whilst he used Kamui, 'Rei' in front of him continued to sustain damage as wounds started to appear more often.
Her movements started to become dull as the system god took this time to land a few more hits. Right now the only abilities that worked were the evasive ones as they offensive ones lacked the power to affect 'Rei's' body.
Gathering his strength into one last punch, the system god used Saitama's strength along with his True God Emperor physic.
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!!
'Rei's' upper body was destroyed as the system god sighed out in relief.
Coughing out a mouthful of blood, the system god stumbled around as he could barely move his body.
"Aiya~ how dangerous. If not for my god title I would have died." A voice said sending shivers down the system god's spine.
Turning around slowly, he could see a perfectly fine 'Rei' standing where he should have died.
"Since I'm benevolent, I'll tell you who you died to." He said with a smile as he walked closer.
"I am Kyra. Little sister of the True God Emperor Rei. The Goddess of Fate and True Death. My god titleAllows me to see into the fates of other but not my own. To compensate this, I can reverse my fate every 24hrs. As for ..." Kyra smiled as she didn't need to explain.
The system god sighed. He might not be able to send anything outside of this zone, but it didn't mean he can't include the information in his God Trials.
'I leave Eve to you Rei. You better keep her safe.' He thought with a smile and glare that wanted to defy fate even in his last moments.

[Skill Gained - Akashic Records - Knowledge Branch]
"Finally!" Rei said leaning back on the bed of books he made.
"Congratulations master." Fey smiled as she was still looking for abilities on her phone.
"Master, I found another one with a system. It's the strongest system." Fey said showing him the page.
"Hm? Alright let's see." Rei muttered reading the description.
"A domineering life of unrestrained swag needs no explanation? What the hell?!" Rei said reading the description.
"Let's see, abilities... Twisting Heaven and Earth, True Origins Crushing Kick. Sounds pretty domineering. I wonder what they do."
"...."
"...."
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
'What is this shit?!' Rei cursed seeing the obscene descriptions of these skills. They were a little inhuman even for him since he himself was a man. You can kill a man slowly or quickly. But to destroy his man hood before he goes...
Not to mention, the Akashic Records automatically made the skill since he knows what they did.
"How was it master? Was it helpful?" Fey asked eagerly.
"...Yeah it was." Rei said forcing a smile seeing how eager she was.
"Can you show me how they work?" She asked again.
"Cough! Um not now. We still got skills to hunt." Rei said as she nodded and happily went to find more books with better skills.
'System, how far am I though Divine Rank 9?'
[43%]
'Hm, 43%...' Rei thought before shrugging.
"Fey, we're heading to Everyone is a Returnee. I'm going to get that stealth skill." Rei called out as Fey jogged over.
A portal opened up as they soon realised they were in mid-air.
Rei opened his white wings as he floated whilst Fey flew as well.
Currently, his cultivation was at Divine Rank 1 which seemed to be the limit of this realm.
In front of them was a man who looked at them with confusion and slight hints of...greed?
"You, why does an angel have such dense amounts of records...no the Akashic Record?!" The man said as he widened his eyes. All this happened the moment they appeared as Rei tilted his head in confusion, so he doesn't know where they were.
But during this split second, he suddenly felt an impact on the back of his head.
*PING!
A spear of sorts broke in half on contact as Rei turned around and saw a person with flaming red hair.
'Eh? Did I just intrude on the final battle?' Rei thought as he saw the shock and surprise of the man who had threw the spear.
'When did another archangel appear?' The man also thought as the shock of the spear breaking was still fresh. It was something that could have killed god but broke on contact. Not to mention, the records and power radiated from the white-haired man was much higher than god.
"... I'll let you two fight." Rei as he was about to leave but turned around as 'god' was about to devour him.
Rei frowned as he saw this.
Rei gave the figure a 'gentle' slap downwards as it erased his existence.
"Che, piece of shit tried to eat both me and Fey." Rei muttered as Fey felt fear. The power scaling of worlds started to increase yet she was still just as weak. If Rei didn't kill the figure, she was sure she would have died not being able to move.
"D-did you just kill god with a slap?" Yu Ilhan asked.
"Huh? God? Fey how did the story end again?" Rei asked quietly as he turned to Fey.
She took out her phone and checked.
"He was supposed to disable god with that spear and suck him dry of his power, after that kill him with a cannon ball made from Archlegnae? Basically, it deleted him from the Akashic Records." Fey said as Rei nodded.
"So this world has the Akashic Records... It's the Skill Branch and the Knowledge branch as well. Though only a small fragment of what mine is." Rei said as Yu Ilhan only watched as he was being ignored.
"Wait that means he's the one with that ridiculous stealth right?" Rei said pointing at the man. Fey nodded as Rei looked over.
"Done." Rei said as he made a portal and left with Fey. In and out quickly without much hassle.
Yu Ilhan only looked at the space where god was with an complicated expression. Spiera had already returned back to him when the spear broke so she was safe.
"Son, did he really die with that? Really? Has God really, finally disappeared now?" Gabriel asked as he appeared.
"Yes." Yu Ilhan said as he nodded.
"But I wasn't the one who did it." Yu Ilhan finished as Gabriel frowned.
"Who did it and what happened?" He asked.
"It was a person called Rei and he killed God permanently with a slap." Yu Ilhan said as he looked at the screen in front of him.

As Rei and Fey left the realm, Rei decided to look at the record.
"So that's why he had that broken stealth. He had a pseudo god title." Rei said as Fey tugged his shirt.
"What is it?" Rei asked.
"Can I get stronger?" Fey said as Rei tilted his head.
"Yes, yes you can."
"I want to get stronger. I've been reading some books and realised that if I'm weak around master then they can use me as a tool to get to you. I don't want that. I'm selfish and want to stay with master. I know that the easy way would be to kill myself should I get caught so I don't hinder master, but I want to be selfish and stay with you." Fey said as she looked downwards.
Rei looked at her before smiling slightly.
Patting her head, he made eye contact.
"For you to understand that you don't want to kill yourself because you want to stay with me is amazing in itself. The people who say they want to kill themselves to not hinder the person are what I would call bullshit. They obviously want the person to save them but wanted to sound magnanimous. but what happens in the end? They get saved after a lot of hassle. So for you to understand that you don't want to kill yourself and that you have a selfish desire is already better than those people in my eyes. It shows that you're truthful to yourself." Rei complimented as Fey listened carefully.
"I can help you get stronger. Easily. But each stage after Divine Rank are tough to traverse. As for reaching god hood, I'm not sure as I'm not there yet either. I can also evolve your bloodline and increase your strength based on that bloodline." Rei said as she nodded.
cutting his finger slightly, Rei gathered a droplet of blood as it would evolve her Vampire Princess bloodline.
[Detecting Bloodline evolution from entity - Fey. Vampire Princess -> Vampire Demi-God Bloodline.]
Normally when one evolves their bloodline, their appearance would harbour some change. But for Fey there were no change except for the fact that her power had gained an instant boost from World to low rank Ascendant level.
"I'll send you to a modified Blood Crazy world as that world is great for blood refinement. It will help you a lot." Rei smiled as Fey nodded.
"I'll be back soon master." She smiled before disappearing.
Seeing her fade away, Rei felt a sense of loneliness again.
"I guess back to adventuring alone again." Rei muttered as his smile faded away.
