"Hang in there, Cold, you are the Emperor of the Universe, you can do it! Don't give up!" Ino's words were like pouring oil on the fire.
King Cold was mad enough to go crazy, wishing he could turn around and shoot two beams at her, but Ino was incredibly shrewd. While mocking him verbally, her hands firmly grasped King Cold's two horns. The laser beams couldn't curve, so he could only endure it.
The Shattering Destruction Ball got closer and closer. Ino's expression didn't change; she transferred all the pressure to the Head of Cold in her hands.
The two sides were in a stalemate for several seconds. In a trance, it seemed to return to the previous standoff scene. However, at that time King Cold was the strongest, the West Supreme Kai was second, and Ino was the weakest. Now King Cold was at the bottom, the West Supreme Kai was the strongest, and Ino was second; this was very ironic.
"I am a Supreme Kai! How could I be defeated by a tiny ant... I am a Supreme Kai! Cough cough cough!"
The power of the Shattering Destruction Ball was extremely strong, but the West Supreme Kai was running on fumes; she really had no stamina left to maintain this move. Without enough stamina to support it, the Shattering Destruction Ball finally stopped three meters in front of Ino. The West Supreme Kai's knees went soft, and her heavily injured body crashed to the ground.
Ino didn't rashly go up. Instead, carrying the Head of Cold in one hand, she took out a Senzu Bean with the other. These things were becoming fewer and fewer, but relying on her connections, asking for three or five was still possible.
Crunch, crunch. The Senzu Bean was chewed and swallowed. Soon, her dried-up stamina and chakra refilled at an incredible speed. She reached out, and the Hero's Sword that had been knocked away returned to her hand.
Holding Cold's head in her left hand and the sword in her right, she cautiously approached the West Supreme Kai. Facts proved that the scheming West Supreme Kai indeed saved a last bit of stamina, but facing the fully restored Ino, she could only sigh in despair. Her final attack was almost entirely taken by Cold's head. The Emperor of the Universe's energy was exhausted, and his head fell into a state that seemed to be dormancy.
The West Supreme Kai also drained her last wisp of stamina.
For Ino to directly absorb a Supreme Kai with a body was a bit strenuous, so she used the old method: absorb this guy in the spiritual world.
Ino put on a Hannya mask, draped a tattered haori over herself, held a cleaver in her left hand and prayer beads in her right. A giant hand covered in curse tags suddenly emerged, grabbed the West Supreme Kai's soul, and dragged it toward her own spiritual world.
"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"
Ino had assimilated the Shinigami. It didn't improve her battle power much, but her methods were undoubtedly greatly enriched. Dragging the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul into her spiritual world, the opponent was greatly amazed when she saw the tea tree.
Holy crap? Why is there another me hanging on the tree inside here?
She glared at Ino. She always felt her rhetoric and acting were seamless and shouldn't have revealed any flaws. Now seeing the cocoon on the tree, she realized what a huge mistake she had made.
Ino didn't waste words with her. Infinite Tsukuyomi, plus God: Nativity of a World of Trees, let's go! Soon, a second cocoon was hanging on the tree!
Stamina was consumed by more than half again, and pupil power was drained quite a bit. Ino took out a bottle of recovery liquid, glug glug glug, and drank half the bottle. After her stamina recovered to about the same level, she started processing the body left by the West Supreme Kai.
She read the knowledge belonging to the Supreme Kai from the memories of the two remnant souls. Soon she found a method of assimilation. Previously, the West Supreme Kai used herself as a foundation to assimilate the World Tree and reshape her body. Ino now copied the process, using herself as the foundation to turn this body into her own brand-new nutrients.
Assimilating a complete Supreme Kai would definitely lead to her body being hijacked, but assimilating a corpse was no problem.
She placed her hand on the corpse's shoulder, then slowly turned the corpse into energy. Initially, the progress was very slow. Her life level was undoubtedly a big chunk lower than the Supreme Kai's. Fortunately, a corpse is just a corpse, without consciousness. Under her constant urging, like dripping water wearing through stone, the opponent's drop of blood turned into energy and entered her cells. Afterward, the assimilation speed became faster and faster, finally all turning into energy and becoming a part of her body.
Ino stood up, clenched her fist, and experienced the brand-new changes within her body.
Originally, after fusing Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, Fire, Yin, and Yang, her Kekkei Mora had reached a perfect level. But Master Six Paths said this was the foundation. Now looking at it again... it really was the foundation!
Her Kekkei Mora, outside the seven natural attributes, now had an eighth attribute: God Power.
The entire Kekkei Mora was like an inverted triangle. Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, and Fire were at the top layer, where the area was the vastest. The second layer was Yin and Yang. The God Power she just integrated into her bloodline was at the very bottom.
This bit of bloodline power was very small, but having it and not having it were two different concepts.
Many divine techniques Ino used before were driven by the divine power absorbed from the Supreme Kai's remnant soul; she herself didn't have this kind of energy. Now that she assimilated the Supreme Kai's corpse, she also obtained the qualification to use divine power herself.
She gained a whole bunch of abilities belonging to the Supreme Kai. Many skills that were originally gray characters and couldn't be leveled up could now be added points to. But looking over, there were still many. It was so many that the originally simple panel now required flipping two pages to see all the abilities once.
She had a bit of a toothache. Too many abilities were also a trouble. Look at the Saiyans, they just fight and that's it. She had too many abilities on her side.
She tried the "Potential Unlock" that the West Supreme Kai used on Nappa. The movement was quite strange; placing her hand on her forehead and pulling upward. She pulled for a long time, but it was useless.
Was it that she had no potential, or that this move couldn't be used on oneself? She didn't know, and she couldn't let the Supreme Kai down to ask. She could only go back and find someone to try it on.
She didn't add points to this move. She estimated "Potential Unlock" had a limit issue; exceeding this limit, it couldn't be drawn out. And Old Kai's unique skill "Potential Unleashed" should be even more high-end.
The West Supreme Kai's Potara Earring she also picked up and looked at. The characteristics of this thing were too obvious, just like wearing a dragon robe on the street. This thing absolutely could not be worn openly on the ear, at least not now, because she couldn't explain the source. Besides, there was only one earring now.
She remembered that if a pair of Potara Earrings were worn by two different people, they could fuse. She didn't know if there was a distance limit. In case there was no distance limit, and she put on the earring here, and then instantly flew out to fuse with an unknown character?
Fusion, self-destruction, she wouldn't use these representative moves of Dragon Ball. The earring was put away.
She held Cold's head and studied it for a while. After this thing entered a dormant state, it was like some kind of stone. She used vines and roots to suck for a long time, but there was no energy at all.
What was she supposed to do with this?
"Hey, tell me where you hide your treasures. Say it, and I'll spare your life? Don't play dead! I know you can hear me! ..."
