Chapter 300: Exclusive Item · Satsui Seal · Forbidden
Kaito Shirogane walked amidst the clouds and mist, suddenly feeling weightless beneath his feet. The surrounding clouds and mist surged rapidly, dissipating completely in a moment.
When Kaito Shirogane looked up, a huge face had already appeared before his eyes.
The Goddess's ruby-like eyes were sizing up Kaito Shirogane with interest. Only now did Kaito Shirogane realize that it wasn't the clouds and mist surging, but rather this Goddess had directly lifted the several-hundred-meter-long white jade staircase.
The Goddess's residence was surrounded by white mist, making it impossible to see changes in the space. This was also the first time he had seen this Goddess reveal such power.
The other party wasn't just floating and sleeping in the white jade plaza. At this moment, her size probably exceeded a thousand meters.
The scene before Kaito Shirogane's eyes changed. He was sure he didn't blink, but in an instant, he returned to the white jade plaza. The white jade staircase and the clouds in the air disappeared.
This change was extremely abrupt, as if the channel was suddenly changed while watching TV.
He felt neither spatial changes nor air flow. Everything was changed instantly.
Illusion?
Reality alteration?
Or... Time Stop?!
The power displayed by this silver-haired, red-eyed Goddess at this moment completely exceeded Kaito Shirogane's understanding.
The Goddess had absolutely no intention of explaining. She just floated down from the air, her toes touching the ground, the ribbons on her body moving without wind.
"You know, hoarding so many Singularities without using them is a dangerous behavior."
The Goddess's words were of unknown truth, but after witnessing Ten'i's talent ability, Kaito Shirogane also leaned towards rapidly enhancing his various abilities.
"Lady Goddess, is there any solution for my [Satsui no Hado]?"
Hearing this question, the Goddess became lazy and lay down diagonally in the air again.
Information immediately appeared in the Space panel.
[Do you wish to offer B-Grade Singularity * 1 to the Goddess to completely remove the special energy · Satsui no Hado from your body?]
Kaito Shirogane naturally shook his head. He didn't want to waste time, so he said directly:
"What I want is to retain [Satsui no Hado Lv4] while avoiding completely losing my sanity and avoiding the Space's ban."
Only then did the Goddess show a little interest in speaking.
"This pursuit of extreme power is not something your current spiritual power can control. Or rather, it is precisely because of losing control that this power can be so, so powerful."
"You are very greedy. You want this power that surpasses the limit, yet you also want to be free from its negative effects."
Kaito Shirogane was also clear about this fact. The Satsui no Hado he could control now was probably at the Lv3 level, which was likely linked to his Spirit attribute. To control the Lv4 level, he would probably need his basic Spirit attribute to reach around 40 points.
With Kaito Shirogane's improvement speed, after entering the [Strong] Rank, if he pursued Spirit attribute to the extreme, he could reach it in about two mission worlds.
But this method was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Given Kaito Shirogane's killing speed, the Satsui no Hado would probably increase just as quickly. He couldn't be limited by this forever.
"If it's you, there must be a way..."
Kaito Shirogane spoke compliments without any piety. Perhaps for the sake of so many Singularities, the Goddess didn't mind. She just raised her hand, and a black earring appeared in her palm, continuously rotating and slowly falling.
Kaito Shirogane had excellent dynamic vision and saw clearly that this thing was about five centimeters long, made of some pitch-black metal or special stone, with a large number of fine patterns on the surface.
Most notably, what connected this earring were small black living creatures resembling little people, as if humans shrunk a hundred times. They had no faces, only mouthparts occupying the size of a face, biting each other's bodies one by one to link the earring together.
As this thing fell, he also saw its information through the Space panel.
[Satsui Seal · Forbidden]
[Quality: Rare & Peerless]
[Description: A Great Being twisted the seal fabricated from the Sekiseki (Spirit Stone) and Reishi Absorption Device in the Bleach derivative world, possessing powerful abilities.]
[Effect 1: After wearing, Satsui no Hado will be continuously devoured. Satsui no Hado output level -1, negative effect level -2.]
[Effect 2: The devoured Satsui no Hado will be stored in the seal. When the seal is removed, the Satsui no Hado will be fully released, causing the Satsui no Hado level to increase.]
[Effect 3: After the seal is broken, Satsui no Hado output level +1, negative effect level +2.]
"How is it? This is equipment I tailor-made for you. Originally, this is a service that only Title-level Reincarnators can enjoy..."
Kaito Shirogane looked at the earring emitting a cold texture in his palm. This thing could indeed be called exclusive equipment.
All entries were targeted at [Satsui no Hado]. Kaito Shirogane guessed that the "Great Being" in the description probably referred to this Goddess.
And regarding the [Exclusive Equipment] the other party mentioned, Kaito Shirogane had also heard from Ten'i that this was a secret rumor that Title-level Reincarnators only began to access. After Title-level Reincarnators obtained an evaluation of S-grade or above, they could not only unlock hidden services from places like the [Rank Management Office].
Hidden services could also be unlocked at the [Goddess's Residence].
Of course, Ten'i also said she heard from the former leader of [9527] that when a Reincarnator had enough Singularities and they were high-grade enough, the Goddess would open this service in advance.
But each Reincarnator could only obtain and wear one piece of exclusive equipment. If a new one was obtained, the Goddess would destroy the previous one.
Kaito Shirogane guessed that the prototype of this earring probably came from Kenpachi Zaraki's eyepatch in the [Bleach Derivative World], which was also a type capable of absorbing spiritual pressure and suppressing one's own spiritual pressure.
But Kenpachi Zaraki's eyepatch was just a "weight" he used to limit his own power to enjoy fighting. The earring provided by the Goddess added some special attributes that Reincarnators like Kaito Shirogane would find hard to give up.
Kaito Shirogane looked up and met the Goddess's gaze. Those ruby-like eyes seemed to reflect all of Kaito Shirogane's inner thoughts.
Kaito Shirogane indeed wanted to suppress the negative effects of the Satsui no Hado, but deep in his bones, he also had the crazy idea of pushing the Satsui no Hado even higher.
This earring possessed the dangerous characteristic of exploding with killing intent and increasing killing intent after removal. Kaito Shirogane perceived the hidden effects within. He could use this point to rapidly climb the levels of Satsui no Hado and grow quickly.
But at the same time, this behavior would also make Kaito Shirogane increasingly prone to losing control.
Finally, even if this exclusive seal was broken, it could permanently provide extra enhancement to the output ability of the Satsui no Hado. Although the quality of this item was only [Rare & Peerless], on some level, because all attributes were targeted at [Satsui no Hado], its value for Reincarnators specializing in [Satsui no Hado] was probably no less than that of a World Wonder-level item.
[Do you wish to offer B-Grade Singularity * 3 to the Goddess in exchange for the Exclusive Item · Satsui Seal · Forbidden?]
[You lost B-Grade Singularity * 3]
[You obtained the item: Satsui Seal · Forbidden]
The black earring finally fell into Kaito Shirogane's hand. After Kaito Shirogane picked it up, those little black people seemed to smell the scent of the Satsui no Hado and began to become restless.
Kaito Shirogane placed the earring under his left earlobe. The little black people immediately jumped up and bit onto Kaito Shirogane's earlobe.
Brilliant flames ignited instantly, but accompanied by a flash of black light on the earring, the brilliant flames were extinguished. Kaito Shirogane also felt a slight pain, and then felt a chill coming from the earring.
That restless killing intent immediately slowed down.
[Detected that Reincarnator EX051 is no longer suffering from sanity erosion by Satsui no Hado. Lifting the ban on Satsui no Hado.]
The Goddess sucked the three B-Grade Singularities into her mouth, narrowing her eyes, but She was still unsatisfied.
Kaito Shirogane also catered to her preferences and continued to "consume."
"I want to start Bloodline Refinement."
[Do you wish to spend B-Grade Singularity * 1 to perform Bloodline Refinement?]
"Yes."
The Goddess opened her mouth to suck again. As the Singularity entered her throat and her eyes shifted, terrifying high heat appeared in Kaito Shirogane's body again.
The blood in his whole body was instantly evaporated. He could even feel the Yellow Spring (Underworld River) in his consciousness world surging at this moment, wanting to take over the flow of blood in his body.
Impurities were expelled bit by bit. His bloodline was approaching the state in ancient myths.
Kaito Shirogane didn't lose consciousness this time. He felt that withered, dead state, and the death intent of Shinra (Forest/World) flowed through his whole body.
The next moment, a massive amount of life vitality appeared, repairing Kaito Shirogane's shriveled and ruptured cells one by one. Even the damage caused by the Satsui no Hado erosion in his body was repaired.
[You have completed a refinement with excellent results.]
[Damage from Satsui entry repaired. Current Constitution: 31]
[You obtained Low-Rank Instant Death Resistance. Facing Instant Death checks, you will possess a certain immunity ability (Priority: Low).]
