Looking at the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul hanging on the tree, having fallen into silence, Ino finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The pressure this guy's bizarre abilities and form of existence put on her was too great.
Because she didn't know what trump cards the opponent had, she had to think three steps ahead for every step taken. Fortunately, she finally won.
It would have been better if she could have completely devoured it. Unfortunately, the absorption skill also had to follow basic laws. When Majin Buu absorbed Son Gohan, Piccolo, and the others, they formed individual cocoons inside his body. It looked... seemingly not much different from the cocoons on her tea tree?
Absorption did not equal fusion or merging. The opponent lost consciousness and had their energy continuously extracted; before being completely digested, they remained an individual, only Ino could use this portion of energy.
She waited a while, seeing no further movement from the opponent, before letting her consciousness reconnect with her body.
The first thing she did was rub her eyes; they felt incomparably sore, and her distance vision was slightly blurry. She knew this was the feedback from forcibly using the Infinite Tsukuyomi, causing the Rinnegan to downgrade.
Luckily, the impact wasn't huge. It was just overuse; after accumulating pupil power for a period of time, it could upgrade back.
Comparatively, the value of a West Supreme Kai's remnant soul was far greater than the Rinnegan.
Ino first looked at her own panel.
Previously, her stats were Nin 11, Tai 16, Gen 10, Int 12, Str 12, Spd 15, Sta 12, Sea 10, with a total attribute of 98. It was considered another state where all attributes were locked; Ino's "wooden bucket" could only hold this much water, and no matter how many Scapegoat Points she had in hand, she couldn't add them. Now that it was completely unsealed, she felt almost no restrictions on her attributes.
Her base battle power rose from 15,000 to 50,000, and this was not the limit at all. Her body and spirit were currently extremely weak. As her body recovered health and as she absorbed more energy from the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul, her battle power would welcome a continuous growth phase.
Previously, the only things in her panel that could be called skills with clear levels were the seven major chakra natures, along with Wood Release, Ice Release, Boil Release, and Storm Release. Later, Kaio-ken was added. Now, good heavens, she took a look and saw a large pile of skill names in gray font.
"Life Recovery"
"Life Sharing"
"Mind Reading"
"Telepathy"
"Creation"
"Psychokinesis"
"Ghostification"
"Screech"
"Instant Transmission"
"Teleportation"
"Immunity to Aging"
"Immunity to Disease"
"Immunity to Time Freeze"
"Immunity to Telepathy"...
A whole heap of messy abilities.
Most were gray, in a state where points couldn't be added. For instance, the skill "Audience with Grand Zeno" was completely black; if one didn't look carefully, the words couldn't even be seen clearly.
She carefully screened the skills in the list.
In the end, the new abilities she could use were six: "Flight," "Creation," "Telepathy," "Clairvoyance," "Transformation," and "Precognition."
Among these, abilities like "Flight" and "Creation," which Ino could achieve relying on ninjutsu, were considered completely manifested. Her current "Flight" ability was directly Lv2, and "Creation" was Lv1; she could use Scapegoat Points to increase them later.
"Telepathy" was that mind-communication ability of the North Kai that ignored distance.
"Clairvoyance" was also a vocational skill of the Kais and Supreme Kais.
"Transformation," as the name implied, allowed her to turn into anyone, provided she had seen the person. Imagine Frieza from the manga and then transform? That wouldn't work; she had to see them with her own eyes.
Currently, the level of "Transformation" was only Lv1. The body size of the transformation target couldn't differ too much from hers; wanting to turn directly into an elephant was impossible.
With a thought, she transformed into Hinata. She subconsciously squeezed her chest—indeed magnificent. The level of this transformation was much higher than a ninja's Transformation Technique. Aside from having no flaws, after transforming, she could even simulate the Byakugan's chakra circulation path.
The "Precognition" ability seemed more like a passive skill to her. Whenever a major disaster was about to happen in the universe, this ability would activate.
Could it be used actively? She didn't know! At least she hadn't figured out the method yet.
The tattered Supreme Kai robe not far away was also collected by her into the spiritual world and hung up. Mosquito legs were still meat; there was more or less some residual energy on it, which couldn't be wasted.
With internal affairs resolved, Ino looked at her appearance after absorbing the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul.
This kind of absorption had an impact on appearance. Back then, after Kid Buu absorbed the South Supreme Kai and the Grand Supreme Kai, his body shape underwent massive changes. Especially after absorbing the Grand Supreme Kai, even his ruthless and manic personality changed.
Ino hadn't absorbed a whole Supreme Kai, so the magnitude of change wasn't that large, but there were changes nonetheless.
She touched her ears; they had become pointed. The ear canal looked similar to before, but the internal structure had actually changed quite a bit. If nothing else, she would have to pay attention to the angle when digging out earwax...
Her Six Paths robe also changed. The previous clothes inherited from Kaguya Otsutsuki were like a flour sack—just put it over the head and it was done. Regardless of gender, one couldn't see the body's curves. Now, it had become a slim-fit style. Besides the curves being more obvious, there was an extra orange ribbon around the waist.
There were no other changes.
Not long after, Old Berry finally found his way over.
Ino lay on the ground, her whole body weak and her spiritual power nearly exhausted. She really didn't want to move.
"Use... this." The old man handed Ino a bottle. She took it and examined it closely, discovering it was a potion formulated from plants and flowers.
She poured a dozen drops onto the back of her hand and rubbed gently. Once the potion's efficacy dissolved, she unexpectedly found that the effect of this potion on body recovery and strengthening was excellent.
She sniffed the scent: "There are nineteen plant extracts in here. I know there seem to be the rhizomes of six types of flowers? What are the remaining thirteen?"
"Oh?" Old Berry was a bit surprised: "Are you also a pharmacist?"
"No, I just understand flowers relatively well."
The effect of this Tuffle potion was excellent; its restorative effect on the body was not inferior to Senzu Beans.
Master Korin's Senzu Beans seemed numerous, a full large jar, but in reality, that was stock from hundreds of years. Using a bit meant a bit less. Plus, with that super glutton Yajirobe, the remaining Senzu Beans were truly few. Son Goku and the others didn't have enough for themselves, let alone giving some to Ino.
Having been slashed dozens of times by that broken robe over there, and having her arm chopped off seven times alone, even with the continuous healing of the Yang Seal, some internal injuries had accumulated inside her body.
The Tuffle potion was the most suitable for her.
She asked in detail about the formulation of this potion. The other party didn't hide anything, saying all he knew without reserve. He explained the preparation process in great detail. Fearing she might forget, he even gifted her a notebook with detailed records, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
After Ino completed her body repair, she followed Old Berry to learn the formulation of this potion.
The Tuffles were multi-talented; they had high attainments in science, medicine, art, and literature. It was a pity that, facing the ferocious Saiyans, science and art didn't have much defensive capability.
