Chapter 60: Our Unprecedented Strength
"Pirate Ren Arakawa: 'A new species? Is this system so 'rich'? Why do you want to exchange this?'"
"Uchiha Ren Arakawa: 'I also feel the effect might be mediocre.'"
"Main God Ren Arakawa calmly waved his hand: 'That's just one aspect; it needs to be combined with this. Moreover, there's our own 'specialization'.'"
"[**Abomination (Fusion):** Originating from *World of Warcraft*, Abomination ability. Requires 3000 Reward Points and one C-rank side quest plot. You can fuse with individuals of the same type, combining them, up to five. Note: The more disparate the individuals, the easier it is to become an uncontrollable monster that loses self-awareness. However, the more compatible the fused entities, the stronger the power gained. You can separate fused entities using abilities that differentiate or alter their type.]"
"Seeing the skill description, the three Ren Arakawas' eyes lit up."
"Main God Ren Arakawa calmly opened his mouth: 'Acquire Mutations, fuse and strengthen.'"
"He paused, then continued: 'I'm thinking, if we continue to encounter our alternate world selves, can we use this to become infinitely strong?'"
"'At the very least, we only need to fuse with two of our alternate world selves.'"
"'I mean, selves from worlds like Conan's, where the power increase isn't significant.'"
"'Two selves can gain strength and potential, becoming 'Mutants'! Combining our fragments across the myriad worlds!'"
"'With 6000 Reward Points, one B-rank side quest plot, and we can become Mutants.'"
"'As for the other Reincarnators, if they want to become Mutants, they must at least encounter two other Reincarnators who have also chosen the new species' strengthening path.'"
"'The conditions are rigorous, but for us, it's extremely simple.'"
"'We can, through common use, fuse with each other, obtain RC cells, and increase the RC cell concentration within our bodies to strengthen our combat power.'"
"'Of course, how to travel to different worlds needs research. What I can think of now...'"
"He said, touching the curse mark on his neck, 'The Heavenly Curse Mark can revive Orochimaru.'"
"'We share the Heavenly Curse Mark, meaning there's a way to go to our respective worlds!'"
"'Of course, there are more convenient methods. After all, Orochimaru can only be revived after death. If we can kill Orochimaru, many things would then be resolved. It's also not impossible to negotiate with Orochimaru to obtain similar abilities.'"
"'Additionally, there's another place that might have it.'"
"Stephen Fang interrupted: 'Kamar-Taj?! Doctor Strange! Multiverse!'"
"'Good heavens! I think I've stumbled upon an extraordinary path!'"
"Main God Ren Arakawa interrupted everyone's thoughts: 'Additionally...'"
"He then activated the second stage of the Heavenly Curse Mark!"
"The flesh behind him swelled, startling Zhang Jie and Nuowa, causing them to take two steps back."
"'I'm thinking, if the One-Eyed New Species' SS-rank ability comes with two kagune, can it produce a mutation with the Heavenly Curse Mark? Like Zheng Zha's mutated bloodline.'"
"'If that's the case, we can develop the deficient abilities that our Heavenly Curse Mark lacks, such as fleshy wings that can fly like Sasuke's, or a fist like Jugo's?'"
"'The mutation of the Heavenly Curse Mark, combined with the four types of kagune (feather, armored, scaled, tail) from the predator organs...'"
"'We might evolve to an incomparably powerful degree in a short period!'"
"'This kind of mutation, for our 'selves' from the Pirate and Naruto worlds, has a very high priority.'"
"'Of course, there's also the 'transmigration' evolution path. It's just that I'm currently worried that even if Meng Yao dies, will the Main God's punishment for the Breeding Team end?'"
"'If it hasn't ended yet...'"
"'Zhang Jie has already unlocked the Gene Lock. Coupled with me and Da Qiang, the three lock conditions will be met, and the team battle will begin. The next horrifying movie might even pit us against the Devil Team again, or other powerful teams, and there's even a possibility of encountering the Celestial Team.'"
"'I need to immediately upgrade my bloodline to enhance my own strength; only by protecting myself will I have infinite possibilities.'"
"'Money is difficult to earn. Unless I also engage in breeding, but that would only accelerate my own death.'"
"'The Main God's original intention is for Reincarnators to work hard for profit. If I don't quickly strengthen myself, I might not necessarily return safely.'"
"'Of course, I'll definitely talk to Da Qiang about it first.'"
In the icy cell, Pirate Ren Arakawa forcefully struck his wrist. His wrist, bound by sea stone chains harder than diamonds, showed a red imprint from the friction.
"He exhaled a puff of white mist and said: 'The Main God has countless strengthening options. I believe there will definitely be things more 'suitable' for us, but we truly can't wait. Your assessment is correct.'"
"He pondered for a moment and continued: 'Although there's no team leader now, I can't check the next horrifying movie...'"
"'But according to what Zhang Jie in my memory said, the first horrifying movie he experienced was 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (Nightmare Rose, Nightmare Rose Woman)...'"
"'Freddy kills people in dreams.'"
"'The New Species has an ability, which is 'Imagination Power.'"
"'Through imagination, one can change the form of one's kagune.'"
"'I'm not sure if we can gain 'Imagination Power' when we get the New Species ability and normalize.'"
"'But in the dream controlled by Freddy, there have been situations where the protagonist believed himself to be very strong, and thus drove Freddy away.'"
"'That is to say...'"
Pirate Ren Arakawa twisted his stiff neck, "'If the next horrifying movie is a team battle, then devouring is the optimal solution.'"
"'If the next movie encounters Zhang Jie's Nightmare Rose, then devouring can also be used for defense or attack through 'Imagination.'"
"'At the same time, there's long-term evolution, the development path of devouring oneself.'"
"'My thoughts are the same as yours, Main God Ren Arakawa.'"
"Uchiha Ren Arakawa: 'I have no objection. Anyway, I've already been bitten by Orochimaru, so any kind of kagune appearing in my body is normal and reasonable.'"
"Everyone turned their gaze to Stephen Fang."
"'Why are you all waiting for me? We share a brain. Do you think I still have any unique tricks?'"
As soon as the words fell, Main God Ren Arakawa received a prompt.
"[You have exchanged for the One-Eyed New Species SS-rank.]"
As the bloodline was exchanged, his heartbeat quickened, and the RC cells within his body began to surge intensely.
His back began to feel a sharp pain, as if something was rapidly growing under his skin.
Immediately after, two kagune of different forms slowly extended from his back!
Formed by RC cells, the kagune shone with a unique radiance!
The first kagune was a pair of crimson feathered wings!
These feathered wings extended from Main God Ren Arakawa's back, covered with crimson feathers, extremely lightweight and sharp.
The membranes of the feathered wings fluttered lightly in the air, bringing a gentle breeze. Ren Arakawa simultaneously gained the abilities of low-altitude flight and gliding!
The second kagune was a tail kagune.
It extended from Ren Arakawa's tailbone, like a lively and powerful tail.
The surface of this tail kagune was covered with hard scales, and its tip was sharp as a thorn.
The tail kagune not only enhanced Ren Arakawa's balance ability but also granted him an additional offensive maneuver.
Like an aberration.
Ren Arakawa felt the power of these two kagune, and his body gradually adapted to this new change.
He tried to control these kagune. The 'feathers' of the feathered kagune swayed lightly, while the tail kagune drew arcs of afterimages in the air. Even a fool could see that Ren Arakawa had gained incomparably powerful abilities!
Zhang Jie and Nuowa were stunned on the spot.
"But this was only the beginning!"
Ren Arakawa clasped his hands together.
"Heavenly Curse Mark, release!"
