"...Not only that, she is also the sister of the Demon King of the Underworld. Rias Gremory's identity is even more astonishing. She is the Demon King Lucifer, the legendary true Lord of Demons."
"...Alas, those who made it onto the list from these divine and demonic races are not only extremely powerful, but also have formidable backgrounds. No wonder, by the time we reached the top twenty, our human figures had almost disappeared."
"In terms of talent and bloodline, we humans are still far behind these divine and demonic races."
"...Bloodline talent, huh?!"
"Destruction magic, just from the name, you know it's extremely powerful."
"..."
"The master of Himejima Akeno and Gaspar Vladi is only ranked eighteenth. I thought he could break into the top ten."
"..."
Various discussions and arguments were rife. Some people thought Rias's ranking was quite inaccurate. After all, according to the general public's thinking, having a familiar ranked 29th on the [Transcendent Ranking] and another ranked 19th on the [Transcendent Ranking] should mean that her ranking should be at least in the top ten. Unexpectedly, she was only ranked 18th on the [Transcendent Ranking].
However, these ordinary people had no idea that the familiars Rias had gathered were all 'monsters' in every sense, and individually, none of them had a talent or bloodline lower than that of a pure-blooded demon.
The Underworld, the New Demon King's Castle—
"With Rias having fully awakened her destructive magic and receiving this ranking reward from the [Transcendent Ranking], she's probably not going to be quiet for a while."
As the leader of the four demon lords of the underworld, Sir Zephyr was both extremely happy and troubled at this moment.
She is happy about her younger sister's growth, but troubled by her sister's lack of power. Now that her sister has gained enough strength, she will probably challenge the engagement that she has long been dissatisfied with.
Just like that little girl from the Siddi family, Serafru's sister, she broke off her engagement through the [Ranking Game].
Moreover, having already perfected the [Destruction Form] and used it to join the ranks of the world's strongest transcendents, he naturally understood its terrifying combat power. Even in its rudimentary form, it was something that Riesel Phoenix could not withstand.
But it's alright—
From any perspective, Riesel Phoenix is completely unworthy of Rias, who has made the list twice. It is time to completely dissolve the engagement and let Rias walk her own path in the future.
"These are all minor matters. The real trouble is that Rias's dangerous familiar is actually the grandfather of the God of Light, Luger, the demon Balor."
Sazex muttered to himself solemnly.
He had just received news that Luger, the God of Light, had stepped out of the Celtic pantheon, and his target was naturally his sister's private Kuoh Academy.
Regarding the familiars, not only Rias never considered giving up Gaspar, but even Sazex, who considered the overall situation of the Underworld, never had the slightest thought about it.
The Gremory family is the most emotionally charged among all the pure-blooded demon nobles in the entire underworld.
Because of this special feeling, they have always regarded their relatives as part of their family, and there is no reason for them to abandon them.
However, just as Sazex sensed that the aura of the [God of Light] Rug had crossed the eastern border, his figure suddenly disappeared from the new Demon King's castle.

"Following demons and fallen angels, it's now elves! Could it be that elves are superior to these divine and demonic races?!"
"As can be seen from the introductions of the two, they were originally one entity, and each alone could reach as high as fourteenth or thirteenth place on the [Transcendent Ranking]."
"Another one on the [Fairy Beauty Ranking]: angels, demons, elves... all the goddesses on the [Fairy Beauty Ranking] have been exposed one by one. I really want to see the true identities of the top ten on the [Fairy Beauty Ranking]."
"..."
"Perfect twins!"
"..."
Most ordinary people know about the concept of 'elves' from movies, TV shows, anime, and novels.
Nature's darling—
Possessing extremely high magical talent—
Skilled in archery, with an extremely long lifespan and eternal youth—
What they didn't know was that the elves here were not the same as those elves; there was a fundamental difference between the two. The elves that existed here were far rarer than pure-blooded demons, pure-blooded dragons, gods, and so on.

"As for the spirit crystal stone's transformation into a spirit foundation, I originally thought they could only attempt it when they reached the level of a Demon Lord. I didn't expect that with the help of the [Dimensional Ranking], they could directly transform it."
Kanzaki Teru looked at the rankings and rewards for Nanami and Yoshino on the [Transcendent Ranking] and thought to himself.
Spirit Crystals are spiritualized—
To put it simply, it's about completely transforming the spirit crystals that Mio gave to these spirits into their own. So far, with his help, only Tokisaki Kurumi and Itsuka Kotori have achieved the spirit crystal transformation. Although Tobiichi Origami and Yatogami Tohka are strong enough, they have not been able to succeed for various reasons.
"Are all elves this powerful? There isn't a single one whose strength is lower than that of the highest level."
Isayama Yomi was slightly surprised.
She had heard of elves, but she didn't really understand them, just like demons, angels, fallen angels, and other such divine and demonic races.
"Top-tier strength."
Kanzaki Teru chuckled and shook his head.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?!"
Isayama Yomi asked in confusion.
"The elves that appear on the [Transcendent Ranking] are just those that have not yet grown up. Once they have absorbed and digested all the ranking rewards, they will disappear from the [Transcendent Ranking]."
"disappear?!"
Kagura Tsuchimiya and Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't understand what he meant at first, but then they looked shocked and said, "Brother Hui, you said that all these spirits can break through and advance to the King level, which is the Demon King level, the same level as those legendary God Kings and Demon Kings."
"What's so surprising about that? These elves were already at this level from the moment they were born. It's just that for various reasons, they haven't fully developed their power yet. Of course, it's only a matter of time."
If Mio, who has already taken a half-step to the other shore, cannot bring these spirits to the Demon King level with the source power she has separated [Spirit Crystal Stone], then that would be a huge joke.
This was a common occurrence for Kanzaki Teru, but it was slightly difficult for Isayama Yomi, Tsuchimiya Kagura, and Kasumigaoka Utaha to accept.
"According to you, all elves exist on equal footing with the Demon King, the God King... and other lofty legends."
"Izayama Yomi said in disbelief."
"Your understanding is indeed correct. This world is very large. For some people and some beings, the King level, which is what many powerful people call the Demon King level, is just the beginning. Only above the Demon King level can one grasp a bit of the world's discourse power."
"Sigh, what you're talking about is too far removed from us. Even the Demon King level is something we can only dream of."
Izayama Yomi sighed.
At the same time, she glanced at Kanzaki Hikaru beside her, thinking, "Just like you, I originally thought that the more I understood you, the closer I would be to you. But now I can see that the level between us is getting further and further apart." And it wasn't just Isayama Yomi who had this thought; Tsuchimiya Kagura and Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes also flickered uncertainly.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Tenth Place
With the continuous release of the [Transcendent Ranking], the top ten have now been announced.
At this moment, not only ordinary people were eagerly anticipating the top ten, but the gods and powerful figures who had been observing the [Transcendent Ranking] were also on high alert. However, the rankings below the Demon King level were just like the [Immortal Beauty Ranking], which did not attract much attention from the gods. Only the top ten could arouse their interest.
In particular, the ranking rewards, which are so incredible that they make even the gods and powerful beings envious.
"I wonder if there will be any [Enlightenment Card (Transcendent)] this time."
A powerful figure who had wasted over a thousand years at the Demon King level muttered to himself.
A [Comprehension Card (Transcendent)] that can help a powerful individual who has reached the Demon King level increase their chances of breaking through to the Transcendent realm by 10% is like a ray of dawn in the thick darkness for such powerful individuals.
Previously, those who obtained the Enlightenment Card (Transcendent) on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking] were either celestial seraphim or underworld demon kings... Trying to exchange or plunder from these people was simply courting death. However, this time the [Transcendent Ranking] is completely different, only including the chosen ones below the demon king level.
Although those included in the [Transcendent Ranking] all possess extremely high potential, this potential is not equivalent to strength or ability. If the [Comprehension Card (Transcendent)] were to reappear in the top ten ranking rewards, they would have to try, whether through coercion or temptation.
this moment--
Many gods and powerful beings have already made up their minds, or rather, the allure of the Transcendent Realm is too great for them.
Of course, all of this is on the premise that the [Enlightenment Card (Transcendent)] will reappear in the ranking rewards, and that the person who makes it onto the list does not have an extraordinary background.
Just as the gods and powerful beings were lost in thought, the list of the top ten on the [Transcendent Ranking] was announced—
