Journey to Planar World

(Huh...? Goddess Astraea... has feelings for me?)

In his heart, Charlie was shocked upon hearing Gaia’s declaration. His eyes widened slightly, not expecting that secret to be exposed so blatantly in public at all.

(This is giving me a real headache...)

Charlie gently massaged his temples, feeling at a loss as to how he should handle such a complicated situation later when he returned home.

Elena, who had been Charlie’s teammate in a previous Quest, looked at the man with a gaze of wonder as well as immense impression.

She raised her hand, voicing a question that represented the collective curiosity of all the Saviors in the room.

”With a myriad of achievements that long—which is practically like a monthly supermarket shopping list—what Digit rank will Charlie’s power actually surge to when evaluated in Little Garden?”

Gaia curled her lips into a broad smile, then answered in a firm tone.

”Fufufu, in Little Garden, the acts of killing a god, annihilating a world-ending dragon, and overthrowing an entity on the level of an Outer God are categorized as achievements on a Multiversal scale!”

”In the outer world, Charlie’s destructive power might be restricted to a city scale due to the narrow boundaries of his origin world’s laws. However, the Core of Little Garden will completely reconstruct his Spirit Rank based on the accumulation of those monumental achievements!”

Gaia spread her arms wide. ”Furthermore, defeating avatar forms like Heracles and the Evil Dragon Fafnir grants this individual the privilege of Slayer Mythos! In Little Garden, this is equivalent to possessing a massive historical mass capable of rivaling top-tier Demon Lords!”

”If Charlie were still human... then he would receive a power up straight to the 4-Digit level!”

”Hiss...!”

”4-Digit...?!”

A shocked reaction, deep intakes of breath, and mesmerized expressions instantly exploded from the Saviors.

4-Digit!

That was the Divine Domain realm where the weakest individual was capable of crushing a Solar System, while the strongest was capable of obliterating every star in the sky with extreme ease!

A power that up until now they could only imagine as a myth!

However, Frank—who was recognized as the smartest Savior even by Gaia and Alaya—caught an anomaly in Gaia’s choice of words. He adjusted his glasses, staring at her with an analytical gaze.

”Wait a minute, Gaia... You just said the sentence: ’If Charlie were still human’. What wordplay are you actually using? What is the implicit meaning behind it?”

Reminded by Frank’s sharp analysis, the other Saviors snapped out of their euphoria and looked at Gaia with questioning expressions.

Gaia smiled proudly, clapping her hands once toward Frank.

”Marvelous, Frank! You caught on so fast! Yes, that phrase is extremely crucial, because the 4-Digit level is fundamentally an Absolute Wall for the entire human race!”

Gaia’s facial expression suddenly turned exceedingly serious.

”Ordinary humans—no matter how great the training they undergo or how immense the talent they possess—biologically as well as spiritually will never be able to break through into the 3-Digit level!”

That declaration instantly caused most of the Saviors to wear grim expressions.

After all, with the exception of Elena, who had been reincarnated by Sona Sitri into the Devil race, every Savior in this room was human!

”As we discussed earlier.” Gaia continued, elaborating on the Mondaiji lore, ”the 3-Digit level is called the Almighty Domain. To be able to set foot in that realm, an existence must possess the nature of Omnipotence or Omniscience.”

Gaia stepped forward in the middle of the table. ”By definition, the concept of ’Human’ in the universe was created as a limited creature, capable of dying, and full of flaws.”

”If a human grows to become too strong to the point of rivaling the realm of the gods, the Core of Little Garden will detect an existential paradox: Is he a limited human, or an infinite god?”

”As a result, the Core of Little Garden will directly reject that human soul from ascending to 3-Digit, unless they are willing to cast aside their humanity.”

Gaia shook her head.

”If a human is forced to ascend to the 3-Digit level without changing their race, their biological vessel will shatter to pieces from being unable to contain the wave of Spirit Rank that is capable of shaking the order of space and time!”

Gaia let out a soft sigh before adding her final argument.

”Besides, achievements in Little Garden are scanned from the accumulation of achievements in the outer world. The power scale of the human race is drawn from the total human civilization in the real world.”

”The absolute peak of humanity’s collective achievements—future technology, global unity, or even the planet’s life energy—is only capable of supplying Spirit Rank that spans up to the peak of 4-Digit!”

”Spirit Ranks of 3-Digit and above no longer belong to human history, but rather to the Gods’ Concept of Creation and the Laws of Nature. Ordinary humans do not possess enough ’historical fuel’ to touch that level!”

However, the words Gaia uttered next instantly left all the Saviors—including the primary subject himself, Charlie—dumbfounded to their very roots.

Gaia curled her lips into her sweetest smile, pointing straight at Charlie’s chest.

”But... fortunately for Charlie!”

”Through the awakening of the hidden power from the Karasuki Rio template, he has completely transformed into a Transcendent being and is no longer human!”

”Thus, Charlie has fulfilled all the requirements to break through the Absolute Wall of humans...”

Gaia placed extraordinary emphasis on her closing sentence:

”... And with the entire accumulation of legendary achievements he has performed, when evaluated in Little Garden later, Charlie is guaranteed to achieve the 3-Digit rank!”

Hearing Gaia’s announcement regarding the realm Charlie would reach, not a single Savior in the Void Sanctuary could remain calm!

That was 3-Digit!

A realm of power that was truly far beyond the reach of human imagination, a tier where one stood shoulder to shoulder and directly alongside the Chief Gods of Little Garden!

As a reminder, the gods in Little Garden were at a tier many times stronger compared to gods in other anime series like Danmachi, Campione!, Record of Ragnarok, or other god-themed series.

Let alone the 3-Digit Chief Gods, even a god at the 5-Digit level in Little Garden was already more than enough to subdue, crush, and trample upon the arrogant and haughty gods in Record of Ragnarok who constantly looked down on humanity and acted arbitrarily wanting to eradicate progress!

It was not an exaggeration in the slightest to call the gods in Record of Ragnarok mere ”false gods” when compared to even the lowest gods in Little Garden.

And now... the eight Saviors were told directly that one of their companions would be granted 3-Digit power that was even far more Overpowered than Zeno in Dragon Ball?!

”T-Three-Digit...?! Are you for real?!” Kazuya clutched his own head, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.

”This makes no sense... How could someone jump to the realm of the Chief Gods in a single power-up evaluation?!” Oscar murmured brokenly, his breathing heavy from such an intense shock.

Claire and Elena exchanged glances with their mouths slightly agape, completely at a loss for words to describe their awe.

Even Frank, who was usually always rational and calm, now adjusted his glasses with a hand that was faintly trembling.

Good grief! How could they possibly stay calm when facing a reality this insane?!
