My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 651: Ranking Board Of Transcendent

Turning back, I caught Aurora’s gaze. Her eyes were shimmering with a brilliant, fervent light, reminiscent of a child finally laying eyes on a long-awaited treasure.

"Thanks," I remarked, a faint smile playing on my lips.

Beneath our position, suspended in mid-air, the various laborers of the fortress—Ferans, Nagas, elementals, and others—hung shivering within restraints forged of pure lightning. Aurora’s manipulation of the element was masterful and pinpoint; there were no burns or physical wounds to be seen. Only cold terror and the hum of static remained.

"I’ve rounded them all up," she informed me, her intense, inquisitive stare never leaving my face. "It wasn't difficult at all."

I gave a brief nod and finally addressed the stack of system alerts I had pushed aside.

[Level Up!]

[Level 320 → Level 343]

A leap of twenty-three levels. It was a respectable gain for the slaughter of a million weaklings.

The notifications continued to scroll:

[Quest Update]

Objective 1: Investigate the base | Reward: 10 Merit Points | Status: Done

Objective 2: Capture the traitors | Reward: 20 Merit Points | Status: Done

Objective 3: Kill Abominations and Phantoms | Reward: 100 Merit Points | Status: Done

Objective 4: Destroy the base | Reward: 500 Merit Points | Status: Pending

[You have earned your first Merit Points. You will be placed into the Transcendent Merit Rank Board.]

[Would you like to display your name publicly?]

I didn't hesitate with my answer: "No."

Immediately, a new prompt surfaced:

[State your name:]

I paused, blinking as I realized what it required. It was asking for a merit codename—a title that would represent me on the universal ranking boards.

Aurora tilted her head to the side, maintaining her silent, watchful interest.

Since the fundamental goal of this path was the eradication of the Eternals, I submitted the name that best reflected that ambition.

[State your name: Eternal Slayer]

There was a brief delay.

[Name taken. State your name:]

I stared at the screen, letting out a weary sigh.

It seemed even this sophisticated system wasn't immune to such trivial issues.

I attempted several variations: Eternal Hunter. Eternal Predator. Eternal Ender. Eternal Reaver. Eternal Nemesis.

Each one was met with a rejection.

Clearly, the concept of being an Eternal-killer was a popular choice among the masses.

I persisted through eleven more tries, my suggestions becoming increasingly absurd until a specific thought finally took hold.

I needed a name that wasn't defined by the act of hunting Eternals, but rather by standing above them.

Something more grand.

A name that asserted my true status in the cosmos.

[State your Name: Prime Monarch]

A melodic chime signaled the result.

[Name accepted.]

A smile touched my face.

Prime Monarch. The Sovereign of the Prime Universe.

It felt appropriate. There was a certain weight to it that resonated with me.

It wasn't the title of a mere predator, but that of a ruler.

[Current Rank : XXXX69]

I paid the rank no mind for now. This was only the beginning. Eventually, that name would occupy the pinnacle of the board.

Aurora shifted her head slightly.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Nothing much," I replied. "Let’s move. We need to inspect our prisoners."

With a flash of movement, I descended and stood before the trembling crowd. Every individual froze the moment I appeared. Their expressions were a chaotic blend of shock, confusion, and raw dread.

Before I could speak, another alert rang out.

[You have captured Prime Universe traitors. A runic seal has been placed on them to prevent information leakage. Send them to the system-assigned prison for interrogation.]

A shimmering portal tore open in the air beside me.

The reaction from the captives was instantaneous. To my surprise, they all let out a collective breath... of relief.

I blinked in confusion.

Relief?

I scanned the notification again.

‘Are you kidding me?’ I shouted internally.

It appeared the system came equipped with a specialized transport service for criminals.

Annoyed, I turned toward the prisoners.

"What’s with the sighs of relief?" I demanded of a nearby Naga.

He gulped, attempting to pull himself together. His voice shook as he answered,

"It’s nothing... I... I was just terrified we would perish in the fighting. I am more than willing to assist with the inquiry. Truly. However... I am unable to speak. The seal placed upon us prevents any disclosure."

I swept my perception over him.

I found nothing. No trace of a seal.

Either the seal was completely hidden from my senses, or my current level of insight was insufficient to perceive it.

I made a mental note to master the art of entering a mindspace; it would be a vital skill for the future.

"Fine," I said, dismissing them with a wave of my hand. "Get out of here."

An invisible wave of force struck them, lifting the entire group and sweeping them into the portal like leaves in a gale.

One by one, they were consumed by the swirling radiance until the gateway collapsed with a sharp crack.

"Let’s head back, Aurora. Return to the core for the time being. I’ll introduce you to the rest of the group later."

"Understood," she whispered. Her form dissolved into shimmering blue particles, flowing back into the Null Core.

I surveyed the devastated asteroid. Pale deathmist lingered like ghostly smoke over the shattered terrain. Only the fortress and the trio of teleportation gates remained intact.

It was time for the final cleanup.

Raising my hand, I commanded the Star of Origin to awaken. A profound vibration echoed from my core, followed by a violent surge of suction.

The remaining deathmist across the asteroid was pulled toward me with sudden force. Acting as a literal black hole, I drew in everything: the mist, the lingering residue, and even the smallest specks of tainted energy.

The Star devoured it all greedily.

In moments, the asteroid was purged. The corruption and deathmist were gone. As the mist vanished, natural Essence rushed in to fill the void. I seized that Essence and bent it to my will.

A cyclone of Essence began to swirl around me.

I triggered Fractured Unity.

Violet Essence erupted from my skin, merging with the spinning vortex of pure energy until a brown, head-sized sphere of condensed power formed before me.

My task here was nearly finished.

I flickered across the space to the main teleportation gate. The runic base glowed as I made contact, and I pulled up the coordinates I had noted from the fortress records.

Armus.

I fed the data into the runic console. The gate began to hum with power. I then tucked the spinning Essence sphere into a small pocket of dilated time, leaving it suspended safely in front of the fortress.

With everything in place, I grabbed the two unconscious figures and stepped into the gateway, leaving the orb of destruction behind.

Brillant light consumed my vision. Colors warped and shifted, streaking past me like a torrent of fractured space.

A second later, I materialized back in the drifting pocket dimension above Horus, returning to the exact location where I had first departed.
