Although energy accumulation is just a purple trait, depending on the usage, a purple trait can also produce miraculous effects.
From the time he gained energy accumulation until now, two days have passed. During these two days, Tatsuma had been continuously activating Senjutsu to absorb the natural energy in the air.
Compared to Toichiro, who accumulated energy by wasting time and relying on himself, Tatsuma's efficiency in gaining energy from external sources was naturally much higher.
In just two days, the energy accumulated within his body had already reached a critical point.
Of course, there is still a difference between natural energy and psychic energy.
Due to the difference in energy properties, natural energy cannot directly reinforce the body as simply and crudely as psychic energy.
However, even so, having a sufficient amount of natural energy that can be mobilized is still a significant boost for Tatsuma.
Like now, splitting off a portion of natural energy to transfer to the barrier is just one usage.
Besides this, Tatsuma also used this power to do other things.
For example... activating high-level Senjutsu.
"It's time to end this."
Looking at the heavily injured Toichiro not far ahead, Tatsuma raised his hand and snapped his fingers. In the next instant, the energy within Toichiro's body began to riot, and his aura gradually became chaotic.
"Damn it! What did you do!" Toichiro's expression turned ugly.
"Nothing much, just activated the natural energy that just entered your body."
The natural energy around Tatsuma's body surged wildly, and a mist gradually appeared all around.
Affected by this mist, everything in Toichiro's line of sight began to invert.
Up, down, left, right, front, back, everything was like a mirror image turning into reality, the magical scene making Toichiro feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Do you think this kind of illusion is useful against me!"
Toichiro roared angrily, using psychic energy to forcefully detect Tatsuma's position and launch an attack. But the moment his fist fell, Tatsuma's body turned into a phantom image and vanished into thin air.
"Damn it!"
Toichiro's face sank, wanting to retreat and create distance.
But just then, a huge force came from his back.
Bang!
Toichiro was smashed into the ground below, his mind momentarily blank.
Whoosh!
A cold light tore through the air, and Gram appeared out of nowhere, piercing Toichiro's chest.
"It's over, Toichiro."
Appearing alongside Gram, Tatsuma unleashed a new Senjutsu.
The surging natural energy flowed down Gram's blade, entering Toichiro's limbs and bones. Black symbols rose from Toichiro's body, and the aura around him began to constantly fall.
After a few seconds, the psychic energy sealing technique specifically targeting espers was completely formed.
Having lost all his power and already covered in injuries, Toichiro's head tilted, and he fell directly into a coma.
[Congratulations on successfully defeating Toichiro Suzuki, you have obtained the red trait 'Energy Accumulation Physique'.]
[Energy Accumulation Physique (Red): Body stats slightly increased, maximum energy storage +1000.]
Good stuff.
Tatsuma's lips curved slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction.
After this battle, he had already experienced the benefits of having an inexhaustible supply of energy.
Now with Energy Accumulation Physique increasing his upper limit, his combat power would become even stronger in the future.
Temporarily storing the new trait in the inventory, Tatsuma turned to look at the street not far away.
He saw that at the other end of the street, a burly white man had quietly appeared at some point. Although it was their first meeting, Tatsuma could vaguely sense the other party's true strength.
Just like a fully unsealed Toichiro, this man possessed strength comparable to a Satan.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am United States CIA agent Magnus Rose."
Magnus raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and several steel giants resembling Gundams walked out of the shadows.
"Red Dragon Emperor, I am here today as a government representative to hold you accountable."
Tatsuma asked, "Accountable for what?"
Magnus asked, "Conducting a battle of this scale within the city without prior notification, do you think this is something you can just pretend ignorance about?"
"I was kindly helping you clean up terrorists, you should be thanking me, shouldn't you?"
Tatsuma chuckled lightly, raising his sword and slashing.
The slash infused with Power of Destruction roared down, slicing all the steel giants in half at the waist.
"Also, one more thing, next time you want to scare someone, show some real skill, these toys are useless against me."
Such a strong attitude?
Looking at Tatsuma, who had a soaring aura and showed no intention of backing down, Magnus felt a headache coming on.
Of course, he wasn't really here to cause trouble for Tatsuma. Although Tatsuma's actions were a bit against the rules, he had done a good job controlling the battlefield.
Under the effect of the isolation barrier, the battle between Tatsuma and Toichiro did not affect ordinary people at all. After a Satan level battle, the only impact was the destruction of some buildings.
This kind of thing was not much trouble for the United States government. As long as they dispatched the government's magicians and espers, it could be fully restored in at most an hour.
However...
Glancing at Toichiro lying on the ground, Magnus spoke again, "Red Dragon Emperor, I don't want to start a war with you here, it wouldn't be good for either of us."
"Please hand over Toichiro, and then leave this city with your subordinates."
"As for your reckless behavior, our government will seek an explanation from your Satan afterwards."
"Toichiro?"
Tatsuma raised an eyebrow, instantly reacting.
"I was wondering why you'd come out looking for trouble, turns out you're interested in this guy."
"Speaking of which, it's quite surprising that Claw was able to take root and develop in the United States."
"Your government wouldn't happen to have established some kind of secret cooperation with Claw, would it?"
"...That's not something you should know."
Magnus raised his hand and activated his Sacred Gear.
The mechanical giants that had just been cut down broke into many parts, combining in mid-air to form countless firearms.
"I'll repeat one last time, please hand over Toichiro and leave here with your subordinates."
"So much nonsense, if you want to fight, just fight directly."
Tatsuma snorted coldly, the natural energy in his body surging along with his demonic power.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of magic circles formed in mid-air, unleashing a torrent of magic.
