"No… this isn't possible… I still have…"
These were Enel's last thoughts before his consciousness dissipated.
When the blue light faded, only a giant ice sculpture remained in the sky. The Lightning Giant maintained a pose of desperate plea, his face filled with terror, completely frozen in mid-air. Every strand of lightning within his body was perfectly preserved by ice crystals, like an eternal work of art.
The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight, passing through the ice crystals, refracted into a dazzling spectrum of colors, breathtakingly beautiful.
Li Yu looked down at the ice sculpture, his gaze completely unwavering.
"Before Absolute Zero, even time itself solidifies. What use is mere lightning?"
Marineford Arc once again fell into a deathly silence.
The Marines gaped, even forgetting to prostrate themselves.
The… Commander is gone just like that?
The pirates' eyes widened, as if witnessing a miracle.
This was no longer a battle between humans, but a war of gods!
The Reincarnators were utterly pale. That terrifying and invincible Lightning Giant was actually frozen in one move. This generation's Hunter was simply frighteningly strong!
They deeply etched Li Yu's face into their hearts, vowing that if they ever saw this man again, they would run as far as they could.
"Rest in peace!"
Li Yu extended a finger and gently pressed it against the Lightning Giant's brow!
Crack!
A subtle cracking sound spread like dominoes. The ice sculpture began to disintegrate from the top of its head, countless ice crystals falling like rain, finally exploding into a myriad of light points with a bang.
Those light points hovered in the air for a moment, then transformed into a rainbow spanning the ice field.
The Marines slumped to the ground, their hearts completely broken, tears streaming down their faces.
"Commander!"
Heart-wrenching cries erupted from the Marine ranks, many of them pounding the ice in anguish.
Although Enel was a Fallen Reincarnator who disturbed the world's timeline, his protective nature had earned him considerable loyalty among the Marines.
His demise at this moment caused many to completely break down.
An era had ended!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku felt utterly disheartened. His meticulously planned Marineford Arc had resulted in the Commander's death, and he was undeniably responsible!
Li Yu ignored the commotion below; a line of light blue text popped up before his eyes!
[Successfully killed a Ninth-Tier Fallen Reincarnator 112. Acquired Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability. Acquired Fallen Reincarnator 112's base attributes of 4 million. Acquired 1 million credit points from the opponent!]
[Fallen Reincarnator 112's Reincarnation Space items have been recovered, totaling 200,000 credit points!]
Oh?
Li Yu raised an eyebrow. This Fallen Reincarnator had given him quite a surprise.
He had transformed into the body of a Thunder God, frantically absorbing lightning from nature to stack attributes.
As a result, these temporarily increased attribute points were also settled for him.
Now, Li Yu's attribute panel had become:
[Name: Li Yu (World Hunter 003)]
[Strength: 11,000,000]
[Agility: 11,000,000]
[Spirit: 11,000,000]
[Constitution: 11,000,000]
[Cosmo: Peak Seventh Sense Cosmo]
[Mysteries: Diamond Dust, Aurora Execution]
[Reincarnation Talent Skills: World Shuttle Ability, Plunder Ability, Rumble-Rumble Fruit]
Li Yu focused his mind on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the entry instantly expanded.
[Rumble-Rumble Fruit: SS-grade Logia-type Fruit]
[Core Abilities: Lightning Manipulation, Body Elementalization, Lightning power is related to the user's four basic attributes!]
[Note: Devil Fruit users are hated by the sea.]
Li Yu smiled slightly when he saw this entry.
Heh, what sea would dare hate me? I'll just freeze it into an ice sea!
Other Devil Fruit users might fear the sea, but for ice-type ability users, the sea is like flat ground.
Not bad.
Li Yu nodded slightly. This harvest was quite bountiful. Not only did his own strength directly increase by ten percent, but he also gained lightning-related abilities.
This gave him a few more assurances in breaking free from Athena's control.
[Return to Reincarnation Space!]
Li Yu silently chanted, and his figure instantly dematerialized into light, soaring into the clouds and disappearing!
Returning to the Reincarnation Space, he was still in that small room. The main god's cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[World Hunter 003, successfully killed a Fallen Reincarnator, repaired the world timeline, rewarded with one essence crystal!]
essence crystal?
What is it used for?
The Reincarnation Space promptly provided an explanation.
[essence crystal is a precious material obtained by Hunters from the world's will feedback after repairing Reincarnation Worlds.]
[It can be used to exchange for god-tier talents, breakthrough materials for legendary equipment, strengthen and repair legendary epic artifacts, and upgrade Reincarnation talent levels!]
[Soul-bound, non-tradable, non-sellable!]
Li Yu held the rhombus-shaped crystal that appeared out of thin air before him. Within the crystal, a galaxy seemed to flow.
This item seemed much more valuable than credit points.
He looked at the 1.2 million credit points on his panel and tentatively chanted, "Main god, display redeemable items."
Three windows instantly popped up, labeled [Items], [Cultivation Methods], and [Bloodline Genes].
Clicking on the item bar, dense icons scrolled endlessly, roughly totaling over two million types, ranging from a basic medical kit for 50 credit points to a Time Reversal Hourglass for 10 million credit points—everything imaginable.
The higher the-grade item, the more credit points required.
The life potion he borrowed from that Reincarnator in the Pirate World only cost 100 credit points.
He directly redeemed ten bottles. Although he wouldn't use them himself, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't encounter situations similar to the Marineford Arc in the future.
Every Reincarnator would receive a private space from the main god, where they could store Reincarnation Space items.
Ordinary Reincarnators had ten slots; Li Yu had a bit more, with one thousand slots… Li Yu first sent two bottles to the Reincarnator with the number 10200981xxd. Borrowing one and returning two was fair enough.
The remaining eight bottles, Li Yu directly placed into his own Reincarnation Space storage slots.
The remaining 1 million credit points could only redeem one Time Hourglass.
[Time Hourglass: One-time consumable item, can restore user's status to 10 seconds prior!]
[Redemption Credit Points: 1 million]
For now, Li Yu didn't need recovery-type items.
He then switched his target to cultivation methods.
Low-level cultivation methods, from mastery of fists and kicks to combat techniques, sword mastery, and then Chakra cultivation, Haki cultivation, all could be redeemed.
Items in the cultivation method category generally cost ten times more than items in the item category.
Mastery of fists and kicks cost 200 credit points, but precious cultivation methods, such as Chakra cultivation, actually cost 2 million credit points, and Haki cultivation also cost 2 million credit points.
Muttering curses about the Reincarnation Space being a black-hearted merchant, Li Yu switched to bloodline gene potions.
Bloodline-related items were also very expensive.
Low-level ones, such as werewolf and vampire bloodlines, started at 200,000, while high-level ones, such as angel and demon bloodlines, directly started at 1 million.
Li Yu even saw Saiyan bloodline in the mythical bloodlines, priced at 200 million!
Compared to cultivation methods, the advantage of these bloodlines was that once used, one immediately gained bloodline talent abilities, without the need for arduous cultivation.
Of course, a Saiyan bloodline was just the beginning; one would still have to put in hard work to awaken as a Super Saiyan.
Black, too black… Li Yu originally thought his 1 million credit points would make him a big spender in the Reincarnation Space.
But he didn't expect that it was just the starting point.
For a short while, Li Yu hadn't decided how to strengthen himself next. He suddenly felt a tremor in his mind.
Li Yu understood that someone had touched the domain he had set up in the Saint Seiya World.
He silently chanted.
"Return to the Main World!"
The next second, Li Yu opened his eyes and found himself in the Aquarius Palace… Outside the palace, a Silver Saint was calling out to him.
"Lord Li Yu, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence; he says there's an important matter to discuss!"
