[Ranked 10th: Lavinia Renée]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Top Tier]
[Introduction: Member of the Gray Mage Guild, subordinate of the infamous demon Mephisto Fellers, a highly talented mage, and the wielder of the divine artifact [Eternal Ice Princess]...]
[Ranking Reward: Top-tier Demon King-level Power (can be fused at will)]
……
"Humans, I never thought that we humans could stand out from so many gods and demons."
"Yes, most of the top thirty on the [Transcendence Ranking] are already gods and demons; humans occupy far too few spots..."
“A divine artifact, a divine destruction tool, doesn’t anyone sense that there’s some secret behind it?”
"...How could there not be? Several so-called artifact holders have appeared before. Since the [Transcendent Ranking] has specifically mentioned them, they must have something extraordinary about them."
“This human mage, Lavinia Renee, may have been able to stand out only by becoming the wielder of this [God-Slaying Gear].
"...That's a possibility."
"..."
Lavinia Renee's rise to tenth place on the [Transcendent Ranking] was like a powerful injection into the hearts of many ordinary people, and the shadow of their previous inferiority in the face of the gods and demons dissipated somewhat.
Although they all knew in their hearts that gods, demons, fallen angels... such beings were still high above them, not something humans could look down upon, Lavinia Renee's ability to surpass the sisters of two demon kings and the successor of a pure-blooded demon noble on the [Transcendence Ranking] also proved that humans were not truly weak and easily bullied; they also had their own prodigies, no less than the gods and demons...
"God-Slaying Gear, I didn't expect the Gray Mage Association to have such a trump card hidden. I underestimated this human magic organization."
A certain pantheon's chief god, who had a grudge against the Gray Mage Association, flashed a solemn look in his eyes.
Every human possessor of a God-Slaying Gear is a transcendent being, and once they truly grow up, they possess the power to make even gods and demon kings tremble in fear.
Compared to human inheritance—
Yin-Yang Dao, magician, shrine maiden, priest...
The wielders of the God-Destroying Gear are even more respected and revered by the gods. The appearance of each God-Destroying Gear is like adding a new anomaly to the world.
For example, the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor, who have been fighting each other for thousands of years, have drawn in a great many forces and pantheons every time they appear, causing headaches for the gods and powerful beings.
"[Ranking Reward: Top-Tier Demon King Level Power (Can be fused at will)], it seems to be a reward of the same level as the previous [Fairy Beauty Ranking]. Lavinia Renee, who has the strength of a top-tier demon, has almost a 50% chance of breaking through and advancing to the Demon King level after receiving this ranking reward."
"Whether it's the current [Transcendent Ranking] or the previous [Immortal Beauty Ranking], the ranking rewards for those on the list are based on a tier for every ten places. However, according to the prediction of the [Immortal Beauty Ranking], the top three will experience a qualitative change."
"...Yes, not only that, the ranking rewards of the [Dimensional Ranking] also seem to be based on individual needs."
"In our view, the [Comprehension Card (Transcendent)] may be more valuable, but for someone like Lavinia Renee, who possesses the strength of a top-tier demon, the [Ranking Reward: Top-Tier Demon Lord Power (Can be fused at will)] is clearly more useful."
"That's right..."
"Alas, the only pity is that, according to this speculation, the possibility of the [Comprehension Card (Transcendent)] appearing on the [Transcendent Ranking] is not high."
"..."
The [Transcendent Ranking] had only just announced the tenth place, yet the gods had already roughly figured out some of the obvious rules of the [Dimensional Ranking]. After all, there has never been a shortage of intelligent people in this world, and these gods who have lived for thousands of years are all incredibly wise.
It is entirely possible to glean the whole situation from just a few clues.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Human Dominance
Humanity's rise to tenth place on the "Transcendent Ranking" is indeed exciting news for humanity.
While gods, powerful beings, and ordinary people alike were discussing Lavinia Renee, who was ranked tenth on the [Transcendent Ranking], from various perspectives.
The release of the [Transcendent Ranking] is still ongoing—
……
[Ranked Ninth: Seraug Bali]
[Race: Pureblood Demon]
[Strength: Top Tier]
[Introduction: The successor to the Baal family, one of the four Heavenly Kings of the new generation of demons, known as the strongest of the new generation, possessing extraordinary strength and physical skills, titled "Lion King," and the master of the God-Slaying Gear "Lion King's Battle Axe"...]
[Ranking Reward: Top-tier Demon King-level Power (can be fused at will)]
……
"That good-for-nothing from the royal family who didn't inherit the power of destruction actually managed to make it into the top ten of the [Transcendent Ranking]. He's not to be underestimated."
Seraug is quite famous in the world, especially in the underworld. Any family or demon of a certain level knows that the royal family has produced a successor who has not inherited any destructive magic.
His cousin, Sirzechs, who has become Lucifer, the Demon King of the Underworld, is a complete opposite of Sirzechs.
Meanwhile, Azazel, the governor of the Watchers of the Son of God, became concerned with something else.
"The master of the God-Slaying Gear [Lion King's Battle Axe], not just its wielder or owner?!"
Azazel pondered, chin in hand, puzzled. This explanation, upon closer examination, seemed somewhat illogical. After all, the "God-Destroying Gear" only had a host, not a specific master. If one were to say who the "God-Destroying Gear" was, it would only be the biblical God who created all divine artifacts and bestowed them upon humanity.
Moreover, it's impossible for a pure-blooded demon like Seraog to possess a divine artifact, let alone a God-Slaying Gear. After all, divine artifacts were created by the God of the Bible specifically to protect humanity and give them the power to resist gods and demons.
Even though the Celestial System had various loopholes due to the absence of the God of the Bible, these are the cornerstone rules of the Celestial System. There has never been a case of a divine artifact residing in a pure-blooded demon.
"It seems this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated!"
Azazel, who has always had a strong interest in divine artifacts, immediately mobilized his spies buried in the underworld to investigate the origins of Seraog's acquisition of the God-Slaying Gear, the Lion King's Battle Axe.

……
"Two humans!!!"
The announcement of the eighth and seventh place rankings on the [Transcendent Ranking] astonished the gods and powerful figures. Previously, Lavinia Renee's ranking of tenth on the [Transcendent Ranking] had already surprised many powerful figures, but no one expected that one after another, these human prodigies would once again reach the top ten of the [Transcendent Ranking].
This time, humanity occupied three of the top ten spots on the [Transcendent Ranking], completely unexpected by the gods and powerful beings.
And then, something even more outrageous happened—5

He wields the strongest of the seven fragments of the Holy Sword Excalibur, the "Sword of Domination," and also the "Holy King's Sword," said to be the strongest holy sword on earth, capable of severing even space.

Ranking Reward: Top-tier Demon King-level Power (can be fused at will)
……
Two more of the top ten spots on the [Transcendent Ranking] have appeared, now making up half of the top ten spots on the [Transcendent Ranking].
All the gods and powerful beings who witnessed this scene fell silent.
Clearly, this scene had a significant impact on them...
Meanwhile, the ordinary people around the world who were just watching the spectacle were absolutely stunned—
Five! A full five!!!
"If anyone dares to tell me that humans are inferior to gods and demons, I'll never forgive them."
“From now on, those gods and demons will probably never dare to underestimate us humans again.”
"...That's right!"
"Have you noticed? Of the top ten human prodigies on the [Transcendent Ranking], four are related to the [Heroic Faction], and they are all wielders of that so-called [God-Slaying Tool]..."
"【Heroic Faction】, 【God-Slaying Gear】..."
"There are still so many things hidden in the world that we ordinary people don't know about, just like the [Crimson Denizens] and [Flame Haze] before..."
"...Yes! We were afraid of the existence of the Crimson World Apostles before, but now that we know that we humans have so many outstanding talents, what is there to be afraid of? We humans are not people to be slaughtered."
Arthur Pendragon, Lavinia Renée, Ikise Tobi, George, Leonardo DiCaprio—
The announcement of these five individuals who are among the top ten on the [Transcendent Ranking] has greatly boosted the morale and confidence of ordinary humans, and the fear that was previously suppressed in their hearts regarding the [Crimson World Apostles] has completely dissipated.
"Do you think that the top four of the next [Transcendent Ranking] will still include any of our human prodigies?"
