"Director Fury, I hope you can find him as soon as possible," General Ross said to Nick Fury after the meeting, lowering his hand. "After all, you're much better at finding people than I am. But I hope that I can be the one to deal with him when you find him."
"I'll have my people look for him," Nick Fury said. "But I hope you're fully prepared. Don't be like last time. You know his strength."
"Don't worry, I'll do it even if you don't say anything," General Ross said through gritted teeth. "Next time, I absolutely won't let him escape again. Even if it means killing him directly!"
"Alright, when you've prepared your personnel, bring them here. I'll get you weapons and equipment," Nick Fury patted the other side's shoulder and said, then walked out of the conference room. "Also, I hope you won't do any more dangerous experiments next time. You know, we don't have the power to control things we can't control yet. If we try to control them forcibly, we can only destroy ourselves in the end!"
General Ross didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Nick Fury's back with a changing expression.
…
Yuma watched the video several times, but he didn't find anything extra. Without the system's hints, he could only guess.
'It seems that there might be a Hollow inside me,' Yuma thought, closing the video. 'But what's with those Zanpakuto abilities? Are they a side effect of the system? Using any Shinigami abilities while Hollowfied and going berserk?'
After thinking for a long time without any clues, Yuma simply gave up. He'd rather do something practical first.
Opening the system, Yuma checked his souls. After deducting the cost of exchanging skill cards and removing the conditions for using Itto Kaso, he still had over 280,000.
250,000 were his remaining souls, and the other 30,000 were contributed by the soldiers and experimental subjects who died when the base was destroyed. It was more than Yuma had expected.
Without hesitation, Yuma first exchanged for an [Arrancar Core]. Then, he exchanged for some chantless [ Kikai ]. This would make it easier for him to act in the future.
Otherwise, if I encounter someone and can't beat them, I won't have time to chant slowly when I run away. The enemy won't give me that chance!
Yuma kept the rest of his souls, except for the ten lottery draws he exchanged for, as before. He prepared them for emergencies.
After clicking on ten consecutive draws, Yuma quietly watched the system prompts below the interface. As expected, it was still those familiar words.
[No prize.]
[No prize.]
…
[Congratulations on winning: Souls 100.]
[Congratulations on winning: Souls 500.]
…
[No prize.]
Damn it! It really is: "Open a box, be poor for three generations. Ten consecutive draws destroy a lifetime!"
What a pity for my 9,400 souls!
Closing the system interface, Yuma looked at the Arrancar Core in his hand and thought about who to use it on.
Tony and Banner were out of the question. The only person I can use it on seems to be Rush Limbo. I don't know if he's willing to become a Pumpkin. Although it's a bit ugly, its abilities are really good.
Putting away the Arrancar Core, Yuma planned to talk to Rush first, then go find Kingpin to collect some souls.
First, I can solve the Kingpin matter. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of monsters he'll create with his experiments. Second, I can attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. and General Ross and retaliate against them again.
Then, I'll have Pumpkin stand there and give them some love marks. I won't even have to take action myself to make them fight each other.
I just don't know to what extent Rush's marks can affect enemies after he becomes a Pumpkin. I guess it would have a limited effect on Hulk and Abomination level beings.
He glanced in the direction of Las Noches. Yuma thought, I'll make all of you my subordinates one day. Then, as long as I don't provoke enemies at the level of the Ancient One, I should be able to walk sideways on Earth.
After packing his things and putting his luggage away, Yuma opened a Garganta and returned to the real world.
…
This time, Yuma came back to find Rush and also Tony. He needed Tony to get him a bigger house, otherwise, he wouldn't have a place to live.
The only buildings in Hueco Mundo are Las Noches. The problem is, I can't get in now. I don't even have a place to stay in Hueco Mundo.
I can't build a house with my bare hands, can I? Or should I go back to the real world every night to find a place to stay?
When he returned to Queens, Yuma awkwardly discovered that he didn't have Tony's home address!
His phone was confiscated when General Ross captured him. Besides, he didn't have the habit of memorizing other people's phone numbers. This is embarrassing.
Yuma had no choice but to take a taxi to Stark Tower. Unfortunately, Tony and Pepper weren't there. The receptionist also refused to provide their numbers.
In the end, Yuma had no choice but to hold a knife to the other side's neck before they agreed to make a call to Pepper.
…
"Yuma, your behavior is very bad," Tony said to Yuma beside him as soon as he got in the car, back at the villa. "Do you know how much impact this will have on my company? I'm sure my stock prices will drop by a few percentage points tomorrow…"
"You'll have to pay for this. I don't want your cash, but your Iron Man armor might lose a leg or an arm…"
"You've been talking for almost half an hour. Aren't you tired?" Yuma said helplessly to Tony, who had been chattering for half an hour. He didn't expect Tony to be so chatty, besides Spider-Man and Deadpool.
"Alright, last sentence," Tony shrugged. "I'm glad you're okay, Yuma. Welcome back!"
"Thank you," Yuma said gratefully. He also knew that Tony and Banner almost got killed by him when he went berserk to wake him up. "I'm sorry about what happened last time. I lost consciousness."
"It's alright," Tony waved his hand. "But this incident reminded me that in the future, I'll need to research stronger armor. I'll also have to create an 'Anti-Shinigami' armor to prevent you from going crazy again!"
"Uh, I'm looking forward to it."
Yuma's expression was strange. He didn't expect Tony to create an "Anti-Shinigami" armor first instead of an "Anti-Hulk" armor. It's really amazing.
All the way, Tony didn't ask Yuma what happened after he passed out. He didn't mention whether the Manhattan base disappearing was related to him. It was as if Yuma had just woken up from a great battle.
Yuma was happy about this. After all, this was his business. It's not good to let Tony and Banner get involved.
They are not like me. They are alone and have no constraints. They can do whatever they want.
If they go against S.H.I.E.L.D. or the government, they will face a much more serious problem than I do.
Not to mention that this is their homeland. They don't need to collect souls like I do!
Thanks for the tip, "Vic24"!
