In the dark corner of the staircase, a figure curled up, tending to his wounds.
He muttered quietly to himself, though no sound came out.
To an outsider, he looked like a madman.
He suddenly asked, "Then how exactly did you survive?"
From a distant space came a faint voice, "After unlocking the gene lock, I felt my senses sharpened greatly. At that time, I had no limbs, and Kayako didn't attack me. After clearing the scenario, I returned to the Lord God's space."
He thought for a moment. "Could it be that it directly strengthened the mental layer? Interfering with Kayako?"
Both of them pondered silently for a while, then spoke in unison, "Should we just try cutting it off?"
Pirate Yujin pulled out a thorn from his foot. Gritting his teeth, he warned, "No, better not. Although I didn't experience having no limbs myself, the despair after synchronizing memories was already overwhelming."
Lord God Yujin smiled helplessly. "Then let's put this secret aside for now. The real question is, after I exchange for chakra, can you all share it?"
Pirate Yujin hesitated. "Should we try exchanging the smallest amount first?"
"No." Lord God Yujin rejected the idea outright. "It seems the Lord God's AI has evolved. I suspect it's been playing mobile games. If I buy a thousand points of chakra, it will give back 100 points as cashback."
"100 points might not seem like much, but finishing a horror movie only guarantees a base of 1,000 points."
Lord God Yujin felt the chakra flowing inside him. "I must survive first, then strengthen myself."
"Understood." Pirate Yujin nodded. "You surviving is our greatest hope right now. Since you already have the Sharingan, exchanging for a thousand points of chakra is the best choice."
"Hm." At that moment, Lord God Yujin no longer hesitated. He quietly whispered to the light orb, "I want to use a thousand reward points to purchase chakra!"
As the words of Lord Yujin fell, the Divine Sphere quickly responded to his request.
A gentle beam of light shot out from the sphere, enveloping him completely.
Bathed in this light, Lord Yujin felt a warm power flowing through his body.
It was the power of chakra!
It coursed through his meridians, gradually filling his entire being.
Lord Yujin sensed a significant increase in his strength.
Though the amount of chakra was not enough to make him a Jonin, within the Lord God Space, this was already a promising start.
He silently focused his mind, and immediately, the Lord God Space transformed into a training ground.
This training ground simulated a spacious indoor area, with walls and floors made of solid materials, capable of withstanding the intense heat and impact of the Great Fireball Technique.
He took a deep breath, his hands swiftly forming seals. The chakra within him gathered under his control, converging in his chest before focusing at his throat.
His mouth parted slightly, and a blazing stream of chakra surged from deep within his throat, gradually condensing into a fiery ball!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" Lord Yujin shouted, thrusting the fireball forward!
The fireball cut through the air, leaving a bright trail of flames, aimed directly at the training ground's wall.
Upon impact, the fireball exploded with a deafening roar, sending sparks flying and creating a massive fiery blast zone!
Flames engulfed everything nearby, turning a portion of the wall into a sea of fire!
The shockwave from the explosion distorted the air around it, and the heat from the flames could be felt even from afar.
Lord Yujin panted heavily, feeling that some of his chakra had been consumed.
But he knew he still had enough to release the Great Fireball Technique once more!
"Great Fireball Technique!"
Immediately, another powerful fireball erupted, no weaker than the first, carving a new crater beside the previous fiery pit!
"Try unlocking the Gene Lock again!" Pirate Yujin shouted.
Lord God Yujin nodded silently.
He recalled the torment he had once endured at the hands of the farming squad.
That memory, soaked in pain and humiliation, stirred something deep within him.
The moment the Gene Lock opened, an immense power surged through his body.
His strength doubled… then tripled… and continued to grow exponentially.
Even if this power had been granted to an old grandmother, she could have lifted a car to save her grandchild trapped beneath it.
Of course, the backlash afterward might cost her life.
But this was the Lord God Space.
As long as you had enough reward points… even death could be reversed.
Lord God Yujin's body became sharper—his senses heightened, and his reflexes near-instant.
His control over chakra became astonishingly fluid, like water flowing through a narrow stream—precise, quick, and deadly.
His hands moved in a blur.
Seal. Seal. Seal.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A roaring sphere of flame erupted forth.
Then again.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
And once more.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Three Great Fireballs surged from his mouth in rapid succession.
The searing heat distorted the air around them.
And that wasn't all.
Including the two times he had cast it before unlocking the Gene Lock…
Lord God Yujin had now launched five Great Fireballs in total.
This chakra reserve…
It already rivaled the standard of a Chūnin from the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Huff… huff…"
He dropped to the ground, panting as beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
The fire still raged around him, licking at the air with residual heat.
"Restore the battlefield," he muttered.
The Lord God's light descended, and within moments, everything returned to its pristine, untouched state— as if the blazing jutsu had never scorched the earth at all.
From the sidelines, Pirate Yujin crossed his arms and nodded approvingly.
"Five Great Fireballs at full output... With that chakra reserve, you could probably maintain the Sharingan in battle for four or five minutes."
Lord God Yujin exhaled deeply and shook his head.
"We'll have to test it."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly shouted into the void, "Synchronize!"
The Lord God's emotionless voice responded flatly.
["There is no such command."]
The system didn't understand.
But Pirate Yujin did.
In the next instant, an enormous surge of chakra rushed into his body.
The sensation was overwhelming.
It was like a long-suffering daughter-in-law finally becoming the respected matriarch of her household— a moment of long-awaited recognition and empowerment.
"It's completely synced!" Pirate Yujin gasped, eyes wide.
"My power is exactly the same as yours now!"
He clenched his fists, chakra flaring around him like a raging tide.
"With this chakra… I can fire off five Great Fireballs just like you!"
Lord God Yujin exhaled slowly and nodded.
"Phew, that's good to hear," he said.
Across from him, Pirate Yujin crouched down and pulled the last needle grass thorn from his foot, wincing.
He tore a strip from his already tattered pants and wrapped it tightly around the wound to stop the bleeding.
His eyes, though weary, burned with unwavering determination.
"We all have to hang in there," he muttered. "Until the day I break out of this place... I'm going to find a Devil Fruit!"
"Mm." Lord God Yujin smiled, a trace of warmth in his usually cold expression.
He tilted his head upward and spoke into the void.
"System, I want food. The most authentic dishes—Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Cantonese, and Fujian cuisine. Serve them all."
At that, Pirate Yujin gulped, his stomach growling instinctively.
Without hesitation, he quickly severed the connection.
The next morning, sunlight poured across the floor like golden silk.
Marvel Yujin, who had slept through the night and completed the synchronization of memories and abilities, leapt up with joy.
Uchiha Yujin, who had undergone the same process, stood, equally stunned.
Marvel Yujin couldn't contain his excitement.
"I can finally use Fireball Jutsu," he exclaimed. "And not just once—twice in a row! Oh my god, I need to find the perfect spot to try this out! I've been dying to unleash some ninjutsu!"
Pirate Yujin, now much calmer, rolled his eyes.
"If you don't want to get arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D., you'd better stick to Clone Jutsu or Body Substitution for now."
Marvel Yujin paused, his grin faltering.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yujin remained silent—but inside, a storm surged.
Because he had made a shocking discovery.
His chakra reserves… were greater than Lord God Yujin's.
With a clenched fist and a gleam in his eyes, he whispered, "I can unleash the Great Fireball Jutsu… seven times."
