Chapter 301: New Trait · Calamity Yin Spirit
"Brother Wuxin, can I really become someone greater than the Hokage here?"
The blond boy wearing an orange jacket and goggles looked a little longing. The panic on his face had gradually faded. The huge Golden Erdtree above his head, and this space where various things could be conjured anytime and anywhere, made Uzumaki Naruto feel novelty.
Wuxin smiled gently. He felt sympathy for this boy who was forcibly brought out by Ten'i. He vaguely guessed Ten'i's plan, so whether it was guilt or hypocrisy, he wanted to give the boy as much warmth as possible in this last period of time.
In the exquisite wooden building, Ten'i leaned on the sofa drinking tea, looking leisurely. Wushang, leaning against the window, watched Wuxin teasing Uzumaki Naruto under the tree in the distance and said:
"Aren't you a bit too attentive to that Mercenary Tao?"
"Even if he is that kind of monster, we could avoid him if we wanted to, right?"
He acknowledged Mercenary Tao's strength and potential, but he didn't think the three of them needed to go to such a nearly "fawning" extent. Especially Ten'i. In Wushang's view, Ten'i was a terrifying guy who wouldn't be inferior compared to any Reincarnator.
She was someone who would sooner or later become a big figure in the Space.
This was also the reason why Wushang was dead set on staying in this team.
As for the shared experience of being farmed and the feelings of going through life and death together, that kind of thing probably could only bind a naive guy like Wuxin. What he valued was Ten'i's ability.
In Ten'i's previous communication with Mercenary Tao, she mentioned a lot of intelligence they had obtained at a significant cost. Placed with the Space brokers, that information would be worth a lot of resources.
But Ten'i actually told Mercenary Tao everything in detail, from the anchoring advancement of talents to the hidden services of the Goddess, and then to various secret rumors. This kind of thing made him unable to understand.
Moreover, looking at the blond boy and associating him with the secret rumors of the [Black King Society] that Ten'i had been paying attention to previously, he already knew the woman's terrifying plan in his heart.
"Giving out some intelligence that the other party will know sooner or later to get familiar with a monster that hasn't fully grown up yet, I think this is a good investment."
Ten'i put down the teacup. With a thought, soothing music began to play around her. Her ability was powerful, but the load on her brain was also very high. Outside the mission world, she needed a lot of time to empty her brain and soothe her nerves.
Wushang frowned. He only believed half of this explanation. He felt that Ten'i must have seen something through that special talent.
"You spent so many resources to bring Uzumaki Naruto out because you want to... artificially create a Black King, right?!"
"Isn't the risk of such a thing too high? Those top gatherings won't want to see a new [Black King] born. Just relying on us, I'm afraid..."
Ten'i lay on the sofa as if she couldn't hear Wushang's words. Her face bore a smile that only she could understand.
In this Space, as long as there were resources and enough time to collect information, one could notice the details hidden beneath everything, the details of how those Supreme Powerhouses and Kings operated...
[Do you wish to spend B-Grade Singularity * 1 to perform Spirit Awakening once?]
"Yes."
The negative effects of [Yellow Spring Erosion] and [Satsui Entry] suffered by Kaito Shirogane's physique were finally completely dispelled. As the controller of the Yellow Spring (Underworld River), he unsurprisingly gained resistance to Instant Death.
He performed Spirit Awakening again.
The Goddess was quite satisfied with Kaito Shirogane spending Singularities so generously today. She actively raised her hand, and Kaito Shirogane's body floated upwards.
The Yellow Spring in his body vibrated rapidly. Those Yin Spirits hiding in Kaito Shirogane's body immediately felt the change.
Gojo Satoru raised his head and found that the boundary of the pure white consciousness space began to blur. A vast and grand power was trying to break the shackles here from the outside.
Uchiha Madara also stood up, looking coldly at the whistling Yin Spirits around him.
These guys, who had no intelligence because they were too weak, actually occupied the vast majority of "Spirits" in this space due to their huge numbers.
At this time, seemingly responding to the changes in the space, the weak Yin Spirits began to change. They gathered together, twisting like a big black snake, clinging to each other, and their black spirit bodies began to slowly merge.
There were also some slightly larger individuals standing in the Yellow Spring whose forms began to change. Some elongated and no longer looked human, alienating into Cursed Spirits; others emitted terrible resentment and turned into Vengeful Spirits.
The Reaper (Shinigami) in the distance was also constantly wandering in the air, beginning to swallow a large number of Yin Spirits into its belly, its size becoming larger and larger.
All [Spirits] had special perception abilities. That special spiritual sense didn't rely on any senses; it was completely a transcendental premonition. They all felt the change and crisis.
The true master of this space was reviving and truly bringing the entire space under his control.
Kaito Shirogane floated in the Goddess's palm, intense soul power emanating from his body. His eyes emitted a silver luster. Under that extreme condensation of the soul, the presence of his whole person was incomparably intense.
It even began to squeeze the existence of the souls of weak creatures.
Crack!
Kaito Shirogane seemed to hear the sound of something beginning to shatter.
Then a massive amount of soul power emerged, and he instantly felt cold power flowing out of his sea of consciousness.
Twisted black shadows flowed on the surface of Kaito Shirogane's body again.
Those were Yin Spirits, successfully appearing from the consciousness world but completely unable to seize the Throne of the Heart. Instead, they were squeezed to the surface of Kaito Shirogane's body.
Kaito Shirogane looked at the souls constantly wandering on his body. With a thought, his intensely solid soul began to dominate these souls.
Accompanying the damage appearing in the pure white consciousness space, the Yellow Spring hadn't flowed out yet, but a power truly belonging to this bloodline had already begun to appear.
Kaito Shirogane spread his hands, his whole spirit condensed as one. In the consciousness space, both Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara looked surprised. They saw the man who should have been sitting still like a statue on the [Throne of the Heart] actually open his eyes and spread his hands at the same time.
The next moment, intense pressure descended.
Boom!
The Goddess watched the interesting Reincarnator in her palm finally complete the refinement and tossed him down.
Black shadows on Kaito Shirogane's body slowly moved downwards, eventually appearing from the soles of his feet and extending onto the white jade plaza.
A pitch-black shadow appeared beneath Kaito Shirogane, followed by a second, a third, radiating outwards like a circular formation centered on the soles of Kaito Shirogane's feet.
This white jade plaza had no concept of [Light Source]. Previously here, Kaito Shirogane hadn't seen shadows either. Neither he nor the huge Goddess had shadows appearing.
But now, he had shadows.
He looked at those shadows under his feet. With a thought, one of them slowly stood up.
The pitch-black twisted Yin Spirit was over six meters tall, with a slender body. Although humanoid, the body proportions gave a terrifying sense of disharmony.
Just after rising from the shadow, a terrifying malice appeared on the black face of this Yin Spirit. Then it opened its mouth and let out a silent scream.
Bang!
The Goddess withdrew her gaze in disgust. With just a thought from Her, the Yin Spirit was already shattered.
"Noisy."
[You have completed Spirit Awakening with excellent results.]
[You obtained the trait: Calamity Yin Spirit (Special · Unique) — The master of the Myriad Calamities Yin Spirit Yellow Spring Body can summon the Yin Spirits in their body and arbitrarily dominate their actions in the human world. The Yin Spirits can obtain attribute bonuses from the host. At the same time, the Yin Spirits can also provide special ability bonuses to the host. The quantity and quality of Yin Spirits summoned each time for the Calamity Yin Spirit are related to the host's ability.]
Seeing that this trait was marked not as Rare & Peerless but as [Special · Unique], Kaito Shirogane realized that this was probably one of the origin traits of this [Myriad Calamities Yin Spirit Yellow Spring Body].
With multiple Refinements and Awakenings, this special constitution finally began to reveal the uniqueness of a Mythological Species constitution.
Not only could he accommodate souls, but he could also completely dominate these Yin Spirits. Even awakening Yin Spirits to fight for him was now achievable.
At this moment, he could see two pictures simultaneously. One was naturally the scene on the white jade plaza. The other was inside the huge white consciousness space where the Yellow Spring was boiling. He sat on the high Throne of the Heart, overlooking the countless screaming Yin Spirits below.
With his hands spread open, the Yin Spirits were suppressed by the terrifying soul power, lowering their soul bodies as if he were the Son of Heaven dominating the world of Yin Spirits.
Pfft pfft pfft~
Accompanied by this terrible pressure, the souls swallowed by the Reaper were spat out one by one. Not only the Yin Spirits of this space, but the souls it swallowed in the original world were also being spat out.
Namikaze Minato with blonde hair was just squeezed out of the Reaper's belly when he felt the terrible pressure. He instinctively fell into the Yellow Spring, and the pressure was alleviated.
While looking guardedly at the terrifying figure on the throne in the sky, Namikaze Minato looked around with the corner of his eye.
The next moment, his expression changed. A long-haired man wearing the iconic armor of the Uchiha clan also stood in this turbid water. Sensing his gaze, the man turned his head, his scarlet Sharingan extremely obvious.
"Uchiha... What exactly is this..."
No one answered Namikaze Minato. The next moment, the man on the throne lowered his hands and slowly closed his eyes. The terrible heavy pressure in the space also slowly disappeared.
The Yin Spirits screamed again, recklessly attacking and devouring each other.
Under great pressure, these Yin Spirits were forcing each other to start changing again, either devouring other spirit bodies or being devoured. Weak spirits would become nutrients for powerful spirit bodies.
They could all feel that after the white space above their heads shattered, perhaps a terrible [Calamity] would fall.
Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara also realized this trend. This space would not be so stable forever, and the Yin Spirits were not truly immortal here.
"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
Gojo Satoru lowered his eyelids and pulled down his blindfold. Within the Six Eyes, the arrogance of "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am The Honored One" appeared again.
