The Eighth Sense was the key for Holy Knights to survive after entering the Netherworld. Without this, entering the Netherworld would be a sure death. This was an ability that could only be grasped by a Holy Knight who had already awakened the Seventh Sense. In the prize pool, it was at least a top-tier A-rank skill. The System just gave it to Kurohane so casually! It seemed the System wasn't being stingy by blackening Kurohane's justice points!
Kurohane was only slightly stunned before understanding the use of the Eighth Sense: balance! For a Holy Knight to enter the Netherworld, they needed to have Nether Qi in their body. To survive after returning from the Netherworld, they needed to have the aura of a living person inside their body. Two completely different energies were difficult to use simultaneously, yet they could coexist within the body—that was the key! This was also a form of mental power! Therefore, the moment Kurohane obtained the Eighth Sense, it was captured by the Phoenix Force, increasing its power while also adding some new utilities.
The Phoenix Force now had about half the power of its original version, maybe even a little more. Kurohane's body was also rapidly transformed by the Phoenix Force, changing from a pure Holy constitution of a King of Heaven to a constitution that could simultaneously harness both Holy Energy and light energy! As this change occurred, the burning sensation on Kurohane's hands gradually disappeared, replaced by a warm feeling. Whether it was the Holy Scar on his left hand or the demonic mark on his right hand, they finally merged with his skin and disappeared. The dark energy that had been surrounding Kurohane also gradually dispersed, quietly returning to its original position.
Kurohane could only stand in stunned silence.
A completely automated, life-saving evolution was acceptable!
After the marks on his hands were gone, Kurohane didn't lose his connection to his Heaven Dimension. As long as he willed it, he could still communicate with Heaven anytime and utilize its Holy Energy; more importantly, Kurohane could now use energy from the Dark Dimension! With a thought, Kurohane mobilized the surrounding dark energy, forming twelve black wings on his back. Just like a legendary fallen Angel, his entire being looked sinister and evil! He reached out and grabbed the air, and a heavy dark greatsword appeared in his hand. He swung it casually and found its weight was quite manageable!
After Kurohane found that dark energy couldn't harm him, a self-destructive idea popped into his head. He wanted to use the two completely different attributes simultaneously, so he connected to the Holy Dimension and took a big gulp of Holy Energy. The result was that the black wings on his back gradually turned pure white, and not a trace of dark energy remained in his body. It seemed he couldn't use them simultaneously. Still a huge gain!
Since the beginning of the Universe, there had been no precedent for a Holy Dimension King to become the King of the Dark Dimension. This was why Kurohane still couldn't use both powers simultaneously; otherwise, it wouldn't just be a huge gain, it would be off-the-charts! Furthermore, the Dark Dimension that Dormammu painstakingly managed for so many years was a Multiverse-level powerhouse. It was far larger than Kurohane's original Heaven Dimension! This meant that Kurohane was now more powerful when fighting with dark energy!
After dispersing the Holy Energy in his body, Kurohane chuckled strangely, opened a portal, and stepped in.
The Ancient One, who was using magic to control tools to clean, suddenly trembled. The dark energy inside her body suddenly vibrated. If she had a mirror, she would have seen the Dormammu mark on her forehead had changed. It had been replaced by the goat-horned demon appearance from Kurohane's right hand earlier, but before she could react, a portal opened behind her. A strong dark aura radiated from the other side of the portal. The feeling was the Dark Dimension descending once more!
Ding—!
The Ancient One had no time to think. Two energy fans appeared in her hands, and she watched the portal warily.
"Surprise~!"
Kurohane 'swung' out of the portal and then spun to avoid a strike from one of the fans. His sudden appearance truly startled The Ancient One, and her hand trembled, causing her to throw the fan in her hand. It was only because Kurohane used 'Bullet Time' that his head wasn't split open! Looking back at the fan that shot into the Dark Dimension, Kurohane touched his head with lingering fear and said, "This welcome ceremony is great, just don't do it next time!"
"You've become the King of the Dark Dimension?" The Ancient One raised an eyebrow. Although there was no trace of dark energy on Kurohane, she could still sense his identity. Because the dark energy inside her body genuinely felt a natural affinity to Kurohane. Other than the King of the Dark Dimension, no one else could have this ability!
"The situation is very complicated, I can't explain it in a few words. Let's talk over some tea." Kurohane casually used white magic from the Book of the Vishanti, conjuring a cup of hot tea that appeared in The Ancient One's hand. This action was nothing more than letting The Ancient One know that he hadn't been abandoned by the Holy Dimension and that she didn't need to worry about him attacking Earth.
The Ancient One also understood Kurohane's meaning. After taking a sip of the tea, she casually summoned two chairs and gestured for Kurohane to sit and talk slowly.
When Kurohane told The Ancient One everything that had happened to him in the Dark Dimension, The Ancient One also fell silent. What did it mean to awaken the Eighth Sense between life and death? This kind of knowledge blind to the outside world was something even The Ancient One couldn't comprehend, but the final outcome was good. Kurohane's current power was firmly at the Multiverse level. Even if another powerhouse emerged, they might not necessarily be Kurohane's opponent. The security of this Universe was instantly maxed out!
Under normal circumstances, using the power of the Heaven Dimension was enough. If he couldn't win, he could instantly switch from white to black, transforming into a Dimension Demon to give others a fright. Even if he couldn't kill them, he would scare them off!
"So, what are you going to do now?" The Ancient One was also very curious about Kurohane's current thoughts. As the strongest person in this Universe, his every move was incredibly important.
Kurohane was stunned for a moment, realizing he really had nothing to do, especially on Earth. He had thought of many things before, like going to Wakanda to seize some Vibranium and free the enslaved black people who were mining. But now... Vibranium was no longer useful to him, and he wasn't short on justice points either.
After thinking for a while, Kurohane realized there was still one thing he had to do!
"Teacher, I really do have something I want to do. Where is the Infinity Gauntlet?"
"The Infinity Gauntlet is on the shelf behind you, but I'm curious what you want to do?" The Ancient One pointed a finger at a shelf behind Kurohane. A hidden spell unraveled, and the Infinity Gauntlet embedded with three Infinity Stones appeared. Kurohane reached out and plucked the Mind Stone from the Infinity Gauntlet, then looked at The Ancient One and said, "I want to fall in love!!!"
