Two-thirds of the great revenge had been avenged.
The Lord God Yujin finally had the time to connect with the screens of his "brothers."
Marvel Yujin was in a rather chaotic environment.
A crowd surged around him, cameras and microphones aimed at the well-dressed man beside him.
It was the scene of a press conference.
This was Tony Stark, announcing to the world that he was indeed Iron Man.
Ever since that day when the Iron Monger had nearly killed Pepper and Tony Stark, only to be saved by Yujin, Tony Stark had personally hired Yujin at Stark Industries as his bodyguard.
Among them all, Yujin lived the most carefree life.
The situation for the pirate Yujin could be summarized as eternally unchanging.
A damp prison cell.
The occasional bucket of ice water and beatings from the guards.
A future almost devoid of hope.
Uchiha Yujin's situation was comparatively better.
Although he carried the nine-month "clan extermination deadline" above his head, following Kakashi Hatake's training, he was the one among them with the best mindset.
The Lord God Yujin confirmed that all his other selves were still alive and let out a sigh of relief:
"I've killed Erniu."
"Mengyao was killed by the Devil Team."
"That just leaves Da Qiang… soon."
Sharing one mental network, all the Yujins didn't waste words and went straight to the point.
Uchiha Yujin said, "Kakashi is currently teaching me the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Water Dragon Bullet. They're a bit difficult, especially the Water Dragon Bullet, which requires forming forty-four hand seals. It can't even compare to Tobirama's three-seal technique, but it's easier to learn and far more practical than the Great Fireball."
Marvel Yujin said, "Once I finish this part and get some money, I'll try to see if I can get connected with the Kamar-Taj line. Right now, it's still hard to get information on the super soldier serum."
The pirate Yujin sighed, and the white mist condensed in the cold prison. "That Navy guy called Iron Head showed me Iron Body once after teaching me. I only had time to see it once."
Lord Yujin nodded. "Mm, got a rough idea."
Uchiha Yujin asked, "Have you thought about how to strengthen ypurself?"
Lord Yujin checked his reincarnation watch. "For the Alien mission, I grabbed two Xenomorphs from Erniu and earned a thousand reward points, which canceled out the kill penalty."
"Two Facehugger bugs earned me a hundred."
"Zang Ting gave seven thousand, plus a B-level side quest."
"Tricking that wretched woman gave me a 1,400-point gap. The base rewards plus the crew survival bonus offset the penalty."
"Since the wretched woman died, I needed an extra hundred points, and I borrowed a hundred from Zhang Jie."
"Plus, the repair from fighting Da Qiang desperately."
"So I still have 6,700 points, plus a B-level side quest."
Lord Yujin said this as he walked out of his room.
In the square, only Zhang Jie, Nova, and a woman Yujin had never seen were present.
The others were inside their rooms, enjoying the remaining moments of blissful memories together.
Only the two members of Yujin's "team" were busy figuring out how to survive.
"Ah! You're here!"
Zhang Jie was visibly excited when he saw Yujin. After all, they had shared life-and-death experiences together.
Zhang Jie wrapped his arms around the classical beauty's slender waist. "Let me introduce you—this is my beloved, Na'er."
"You… hello. Thank you for taking care of Zhang Jie," Na'er bowed deeply to Yujin.
"No problem, no problem. Please, stand up."
Yujin had no intention of making small talk. He looked at the large glowing orb and silently synchronized the scene with the others.
In the Lord God Space, the items available for exchange were countless. Standing beneath this orb, even browsing for ten days wouldn't be enough to see everything.
Fortunately, the former captain of the Central Continent team had unlocked the permissions, allowing everyone to use the search function.
Yujin quickly found a particularly disturbing enhancement option.
[Intermediate Parasite: From Parasyte, costs 5,000 reward points, includes one C-rank side story, rating 76. Suitable for most horror scenarios. Can mutate the body, with selectable parasitic organs.]
[Advanced Parasite: From Parasyte, costs 18,000 reward points, includes one B-rank side story and two C-rank side stories, rating 89. An upgraded version of the Intermediate Parasite. When combined with psychic skills, it can override the will of the parasite, transferring the host's body into the parasite. The parasite can attach to any physical form (Xenomorph, Predator, zombie, etc.). Warning: abandoning the host is irreversible. Revival requires purchasing a Resurrection Cross or other methods to restore the permissions within the space. Parasitized creatures cannot be taken back to the plaza and will return in their parasite form.]
After reading the enhancements that Meng Yao had used, Yujin gritted his teeth.
It was fortunate that the Devil Team had a freak like Fuming, and with the right timing and conditions, they were able to force Meng Yao to her death.
If even one element had been missing, this woman might have survived.
Allowing her back into the Lord God Space would be a disaster waiting to happen.
[Intermediate Toguro Enhancement: From Yu Yu Hakusho, costs 4,000 reward points, includes one B-rank side story. Controls 80% of muscles, unleashes 80% of muscle strength. Suitable for most horror scenarios.]
Da Qiang's Toguro enhancement had no significant drawbacks, just unusually high melee stats.
When Yujin activated the Gene Lock and the second stage of the Cursed Seal of Heaven, with the Sharingan assisting, Da Qiang's close-range combat became his weakness and he was completely outclassed.
Yujin rubbed the bracelet on his wrist and began searching as well.
[Hogwarts Radiant Bracelet: Costs 7,000 reward points, includes two C-rank side stories. Continuously restores inner power, magic, chakra, and vampire energy. Stores a dazzling flash spell that can sting an enemy's eyes. By spending 1,000 reward points, the bracelet's stored same-rank spell can be replaced. B-rank side story upgrade spells can be used, but each horror scenario allows only one use.]
Seeing that this thing was actually worth seven thousand reward points along with two valuable C-level side quests, Yujin finally allowed himself a rare smile.
The last time he had smiled like this was when he saw the news of Meng Yao's death.
"There are two ways for us to improve most efficiently right now."
"First, increasing chakra capacity. In the Naruto world, having chakra is like having everything."
"Naruto's early brilliance was largely thanks to the Nine-Tails constantly supplying him with chakra."
Lord God Yujin thought for a moment. "As for using reward points and precious side quests to exchange for these jutsu, that would be a bit of a waste."
"Anyway, there's a Copy Ninja Kakashi, so aside from forbidden techniques, everything else can be taken for free."
Marvel Yujin gently stroked his chin. "Chakra capacity can indeed be exchanged to some extent, but I feel that exchanging bloodlines might be more optimal. Isn't that what Zheng Zha did?"
Lord God Yujin nodded. "I do have an idea, and I'd like to hear what you all think."
As he spoke, he looked at the light orb, and everyone saw the information.
[One-Eyed Ghoul SSS-Rank: From "Tokyo Ghoul," requires six thousand reward points and one B-level side quest. A hybrid born from a human and a ghoul, the exchange will generate predatory organs called kagune. Each ghoul's kagune differs, and an SSS-rank comes with two kagune. Through consuming its own kind, it can evolve into a Kakuja.]
