Chapter 372: Talent Anchoring, Transcendent Helix (SS+)
[Talent Manifestation Complete]
[Transcendent Helix (SS+) is now fully anchored]
[Talent anchored. Reincarnator EX051, you anchored a brand new talent that has never been recorded. Do you allow the Space to record it?]
[Transcendent Helix (SS+)]
[Lineage: Non-native Genetic Lock, Phantasmal Species, Science/Philosophy Lineage]
[Description: A creation of miracles, a helix transcending the ultimate. An 'Anomaly' that shouldn't have been born but was eventually born under the entanglement of the constantly evolving genome.]
[Effect (Initial Rotation): After activating Transcendent Helix, the brain will forcibly release all genetic restrictions, accommodating all information, understanding, adapting, and controlling information. Excessively high helix and information will lead to genetic entropy increase, eventually causing the body to disintegrate into a 'primordial soup' state.]
In front of Kaito Shirogane, silver-white information flowed like a waterfall, but his eyes were not focused on it at all.
The corners of his mouth pulled uncontrollably to both sides. Every pore on his body was opening. Endless [Information] was entering his body in various forms.
That was power.
This was power!
The weeping of a woman who just woke up dozens of kilometers away, the bird struck down from the thundercloud in the sky, the cicada hiding on the big tree daring not to chirp, the small beast scurrying under the earth, the moisture in the air, the restless electric ions, the wildly growing spirits...
Everything was entering Kaito's body in a super-sensory form.
Faint spiritual light lingered around his body, sprinkling around like starlight from the tips of his hair dancing in the wild aura.
Kaito stood on one foot naturally. Only the tiny point of his toes touched the ground. The whole person seemed to lose gravity, having a sense of light floating.
Black long hair danced. The red phantom of [Omen of the Evil God] lingering on his body surface dimmed considerably. No, it wasn't dimmed, but Kaito began to understand the true application method of [Omen of the Evil God].
The red phantom fitted his body surface like a tamed shadow beast.
The [Dragonized] [Sage] lowered his head. Golden vertical pupils reflected Mercenary Tao's posture at this moment.
"Mercenary Tao, you seem... different?"
He revealed a confused expression for the first time. The feeling Mercenary Tao gave him at this moment was very strange—empty. As a [Manipulator], he actually couldn't grasp the opponent's [Mental Body] situation anymore.
And clearly, the opponent used some unknown method to get rid of the mental pollution from looking directly at his Mythical Creature form.
The Lord of Mysteries series enhancement, even at High Sequence, wasn't a type with huge destructive power. But it was quite useful in the mid-to-high stages. Not only because these abilities were accompanied by a considerable part of eerie rule-based abilities, but also because once entering the Sequence 4 Demigod stage...
Reincarnators of this type could almost all activate incomplete Mythical Creature forms when fighting for their lives, causing opponents fighting them to suffer erosion due to looking directly at such mythical creatures with excessively high [Spirituality].
Usually, when facing most enemies, this move was a sharp weapon for turning the tables in desperate situations.
But now, Mercenary Tao had obviously gotten rid of the influence of this mental pollution because he... was looking straight at him.
Looking at the flamboyant Mercenary Tao, a sense of absurdity suddenly surged in Sage's heart. A Reincarnator at most at the [Strong] tier could actually look directly at a Mythical Creature for a long time without being affected. Was this... reasonable?!
"Feeling absurd, Sage?"
Sage heard Mercenary Tao speak. There was no longer that brutal feeling in his voice. The Satsui no Hado that almost changed the color of heaven and earth earlier seemed to disappear out of thin air.
He indeed felt absurd in his heart. In the next moment, his heart suddenly palpitated.
Kaito's right palm spiraled back. Golden ripples, purple-red Satsui no Hado, golden Qi, and that black-red Conqueror's Haki winding power began to collapse instantly, retracting inward.
"Hit!"
Kaito struck with a [Rakshasa's Palm] driven by several terrifying energies, lightly uttering the word 'Hit' simultaneously.
Sage's scalp exploded. In the next moment, he felt the space around him seem to twist. Reacting extremely fast, he didn't try to dodge, but directly tightened the scales on his body.
Bang!
A palm landed solidly on the huge waist and abdomen of the cyan-gray giant dragon.
Pfft!
Blazing white Qi force drove the air, bursting out of the body with a bang, shattering all scales from behind the giant dragon and shooting out hundreds of meters, crashing into the pitch-black void轰然.
Sage cried out in pain, opening his mouth to roar again.
[Mental Deprivation]!
This dragon-roar-like ability could directly deprive the opponent of their mind, making them lose self-control.
But as the roar erupted, Kaito also opened his mouth and roared.
Crimson Conqueror's Haki erupted simultaneously like a strong shockwave, crashing overwhelmingly in front of Sage. That dragon roar was also suppressed. As the two abilities collided, dust flew instantly.
Sage was inexplicably frightened, flapping his wings to fly into the sky.
His [Dragonization] could last about less than three minutes. About a minute had passed now, but he already began to panic slightly.
"You are stealing my ability?!"
Kaito lowered his eyelids, still standing lightly on his toes.
"Stealing?"
"I just understood that ability."
Kaito wasn't wrong. Just as he could completely understand and replicate technical movements he saw before entering the Infinite Dimensional Space, he was doing this in a more exquisite form at this moment.
The devil power and contracts floating behind Sage were escaping into his pores along with the wind and energy ripples.
If Sage had some higher-level eye techniques, he could see that behind Kaito at this moment, a huge pitch-black Yin Spirit seemingly hanging upside down was also floating.
Kaito raised his left wrist lightly. [Black Sword · Dragonslayer] had fallen into his left hand.
Kaito bent his body slightly, bowing at the waist. The ultra-greatsword was dragged on the ground by him in a weird tilted posture.
The cyan-gray giant dragon flying in the air flapped its wings frantically. Sage looked at Mercenary Tao on the ground, feeling as if the dead [Left Eye] had resurrected. The opponent's posture was exactly the same as Left Eye's special Iaido.
Not only can he mimic my abilities, but he can also mimic the abilities of the dead?
Can he cast any ability as long as he has seen it?!
Sage tried to analyze the intelligence. In the next moment, the black sword trembled, disappearing like green smoke.
A pitch-black line magnified in his eyes.
Squelch!
[Sage] Yu Huaxin trembled all over. The chill of sword light piercing through the body, the stinging pain brought by Conqueror's Haki entanglement, and the despair of Satsui no Hado constantly killing cells all appeared together.
Amidst his trembling pupils, the world between his eyes grew further and further apart.
I was cut open?
Such a fast sword. Sure enough, it's that move...
Dragon blood fell like a torrential downpour.
Bathed in dragon blood, Kaito turned to look at a spot where a figure was drilling into the void.
And where the giant dragon fell, only a male corpse completely split in two remained.
Kaito watched Sage's movement attempting to drill into the [Collective Unconscious Sea] to flee, a smile in his eyes.
"Are you... afraid..."
Buzz!
A crimson stream of light lit up, followed by a series of sonic booms exploding. The terrible roar exceeding several times the speed of sound almost tore the eardrums of Sage, who had lost [Dragonization].
He only felt a large hand press on his head. Before entering the [Collective Unconscious Sea], he was wrapped by a violent force, piercing through layers of clouds.
Flying towards a completely unknown direction.
