How to read 死神界?
In this manga I'm reading, the word 死神界 appears. I would have read it has しにがみかい but there was furigana indicating the reading to be ここ.
If there was no furigana, how could I know the correct way to read it?

That kind of furigana is not for telling the reader the reading of the kanji, but what the character actually said. The kanji tell the reader what they meant.
It would be incorrect to read it ここ every time it appears without furigana.
That kind of usage is common in manga and, depending on the genre, in novels.
As for why this is done, I think the most encompassing answer would be to eliminate ambiguity and uncertainty for the reader.
In the OP, the author is making sure the reader knows where "here" is by including both the word spoken and what was meant. I think it is easy to see why this would be necessary if you imagine a story in which teleportation is used a lot.
Here is a different kind of example from Appleseed. The reader may not know that まと is being used as slang for 目標 (whether only in this story only or in reality too is irrelevant), so it is written like this to aid the reader with what was said and meant without having to use footnotes.

Strictly speaking, not all 振り仮名 are ルビ, but not all ルビ are 振り仮名, either. ルビ is "a small character typeset beside the main text" (it does not have to be a reading aid), and 振り仮名 is "kana for reading aid" (it may be handwritten).
