"So where exactly did you dig up all these things?"
Tohru frowned tightly, feeling that Miyauchi Hikage was indeed becoming increasingly eccentric.
It was one thing to come up with some new items every few days, but how did he suddenly bring out three fresh things she had never seen before today?
The Garuda Knife given to Shiina Mahiru seemed to carry a trace of weak origin divine power, and even ordinary people could activate the divine power attached to it.
But this thing was actually used to process ingredients? The meaning of this trace of origin divine power's existence was actually to purify the toxins in ingredients and make them healthier to eat?
Which god would be bored enough to use their own foundation to create such a kitchen knife specifically for mortals?
Tohru observed it carefully. This thing could probably even directly clear the toxins in her tail. If Shiina Mahiru couldn't find suitable ingredients in the future, maybe she could directly offer a section of her tail for the other party to practice on.
And this outrageous kitchen knife turned out to be the most normal of the three items Miyauchi Hikage brought out today.
Of the remaining two items, that Soul Crystal was a treasure that even she would covet upon seeing.
Not only because of the soul shining with brilliance inside it, but she was also surprised that this thing actually turned aether manipulation, which originally required years to master, into something idiot-proof.
As long as someone had a brain and just a tiny bit of talent, holding this crystal would guarantee they could release at least a few large fireballs.
It could be said that as long as the principles and production methods of this thing could be researched and understood, a more streamlined and convenient new system could be built completely upon the original supernatural system.
Not only could those mages infuse their insights and moves into the crystal, but battle-hardened warriors, ingenious craftsmen, and skilled dancers could all use this method to pass down their skills with almost no deviation.
Moreover, this crystal buried at least dozens of novel magic spells she had never seen before. If it weren't for the fact that this crystal was already bound to Shiina Mashiro and stained with Miyauchi Hikage's aura—implying it was likely a counterfeit whipped up by Miyauchi Hikage—she really wanted to add this crystal to her collection directly.
After all, what dragon wouldn't like shiny things? If there was one, it was only because the treasure wasn't brilliant and shiny enough.
This Soul Crystal obviously met Tohru's collection requirements.
"I estimate I can't untie the contract on this. However, I know someone who is good at this. I'll sneak back to find them in a couple of days; that should solve the contract issue on it... But let's agree beforehand, after the contract on this thing is untied, you'd better get me dozens of them so I can properly study its structure and the effects of these runes."
She wondered what result this thing would eventually bring if placed in her world.
But change was always better than a stagnant pool of dead water; this was what Tohru had learned after coming to this world.
"Anyway, as long as you think it through yourself. In our world, a doctor once invented a Gatling gun to reduce casualties on the battlefield by allowing a few soldiers to fight against a large number of enemies. As a result, the appearance of this thing actually intensified the cruelty of war."
Miyauchi Hikage had told Tohru from the beginning that currently, this world had no solution to the problems of Tohru's world. These matters could only be borne by Tohru herself.
Regarding this, Tohru nodded with a serious expression. Even if this thing was really researched, it definitely couldn't be spread out at will. It had to be controlled in their own hands for a very long time in the future.
Then came the last one, and the only item that made Tohru feel threatened.
A small gravel the size of a fingernail actually made her feel a sense of threat!?
What was the background of this thing?
"I don't know what this thing is either. In the terminology of our world, this thing is an extraterrestrial meteorite that fell to Earth unknown years ago. As for its function... you have actually seen it."
As Miyauchi Hikage said this, he summoned his Stand.
Although Tohru needed to activate her Magic Eyes to see the appearance of the opponent's Stand clearly in reality, she had fought Miyauchi Hikage's Stand more than once in the Metaverse and Unlimited Blade Works. She naturally knew how outrageous the supernatural spiritual body condensed purely from mental power summoned by Miyauchi Hikage was.
Devouring organic matter and vengeful spirits to obtain their power, and being able to disguise as others at will—Miyauchi Hikage's initial Stand ability could only be said to be ordinary, just a disguise ability that was relatively useful in daily life.
But since the opponent's Stand suddenly obtained the control authority of the Logic of Calamity last night, the power level of this thing instantly soared from leftover scraps to the level of Rules.
Even if it couldn't pose any threat to her yet, just the point of disgusting people in daily life was enough to make her keep a distance from this thing.
She had been curious about how Miyauchi Hikage obtained this ability before, and only now did she finally learn the truth from Miyauchi Hikage.
"Although the method I obtained the Stand was relatively special, this thing is the conventional means of obtaining a Stand."
Miyauchi Hikage briefly explained several methods of awakening a Stand, such as keeping it by one's side and obtaining recognition to awaken a Stand, or making this small piece into an arrowhead and stabbing it into the body—as long as one didn't die, one should be able to awaken a Stand.
"As for the upper limit of Stands... like what I currently obtained is the power of causality that manipulates calamity. Besides that, there are abilities that prevent everything from reaching the truth, span parallel space-times, and perform various operations on time."
In terms of sheer display of power, there was naturally Made in Heaven, which accelerated and reset the entire universe, and Gold Experience Requiem, which made the boss die repeatedly.
As for The World Over Heaven in a certain game, although it had the condition of touching with both hands, what existed between those hands could be considered to have reached the level of the multiverse, and it also had the ability to observe the multiverse.
Of course, the lower limit of Stands was also really low, like Silver Chariot that shed armor and reduced defense as soon as it got angry, and Cheap Trick which had purely negative effects.
Therefore, listening to Miyauchi Hikage's explanation, Tohru didn't touch this piece of gravel at all.
"I don't need to obtain its recognition. I only feel that this thing is a threat to me. I don't want to end up with some Stand with negative effects to disgust myself. You'd better wait until you have enough certainty before taking this thing out to use on others."
Tohru waved her hand in disgust, and then turned around and left directly with the Soul Crystal.
