Chapter 426: Absorption, Sin · Excessive Slaughter
Hiss!
The scarlet serpent seemed to wail. In the next moment, it shattered into a large amount of scarlet light spots, merging into the Reincarnator mark on Kaito Shirogane's right hand.
At this moment, the black barrier surrounding the official residence in the sky began to disintegrate from above.
The summoned rain clouds in the sky hadn't dispersed yet. Amidst the rain curtain, Kaito clenched his right hand. The scarlet light spots completely condensed into his right hand.
[Sin · Omen of the Evil God (Second Stage) successfully devoured Sin · Excessive Slaughter (Second Stage)]
[Sin · Omen of the Evil God has advanced. Current: Omen of the Evil God (Third Stage)]
[Various abilities of Omen of the Evil God have been strengthened]
[Omen of the Evil God obtained new ability · Excessive Slaughter]
[Excessive Slaughter (Second Stage): Passive - For any of your attacks, as long as it causes physical damage to the target, the damage suffered by the opponent will be amplified by the power of Scarlet Sin. Amplification is linked to the number of Sin Karma Points. Each Sin Karma Point expands the injury by 5%. Maximum can lead to physical disintegration and death;]
[When Omen of the Evil God is activated, Omen of the Evil God will obtain Slaughter Form. In this form, any attack cannot be completely defended against (causing at least skin damage level injury). This ability possesses Medium Priority;]
[Excessive Slaughter (Second Stage) will gain effect improvement based on the number of slaughters]
Kaito looked at the description in the panel. So killing a Sin Reincarnator as a Sin Reincarnator has this kind of benefit...
No, maybe killing a Virtue Reincarnator will also have corresponding improvements.
Besides directly seizing the Sin ability [Excessive Slaughter], the four corresponding forms of Omen of the Evil God all had certain enhancements. Including the reward range for killing Reincarnators to obtain Scarlet Drop Cards and obtain extra improvements corresponding to [Cocoon of Greed], all were improved.
And this time, [Cards] didn't appear as a drop item on the dead Seo Ji-woo. Kaito judged from this that in the One Piece world, when the Virtue Reincarnator named Roland died, that Virtue Card fell directly into his hands.
It belonged to an abnormal phenomenon.
That was probably Roland's arrangement. According to his description, his [Virtue · Hope Morning Star] possessed a causality-type ability similar to "Wish Spell," capable of influencing the development and direction of things.
Probably the opponent used exactly this ability to interfere with the trend of [Cards] being re-deployed to unknown places after the death of special Reincarnators, making the [Card] fall directly in front of him.
Step step step.
Lee Chae-rin, dragging her war blade, walked out of the rain curtain. There was some minor damage to the clothes around her waist and abdomen, probably because that barrier user still made some counterattacks.
However, facing such a godspeed swordsman-type Reincarnator with powerful destructive power, ordinary barrier users probably couldn't escape defeat and death in the end.
"You killed him..."
There was some shock in Lee Chae-rin's eyes. She knew Kaito wasn't the kind of person who bragged, but how long had it been? A special Reincarnator stronger than herself was killed by him just like that?
Her peripheral vision looked at the surrounding stone pavement. Even... Seo Ji-woo didn't even make a decent counterattack.
Kaito shook his head, crushed Seo Ji-woo's Scarlet Drop Card, speaking lightly.
"He was a madman, also a fool. Only, he couldn't be counted as a strong person."
After experiencing the Secondary World B711, Kaito had a clearer understanding of what strength level Reincarnators in the Infinite Dimensional Space were currently at.
He guessed that at the current stage, those big shots in the conventional concept, those leaders of various gatherings and high-rank teams, were at the [Fierce] tier. And the so-called [Supreme Powerhouses] or those few powerhouses capable of mediating disputes between Supreme Powerhouses whose codenames he didn't know yet should be stronger.
Probably reaching the [Mad] tier.
Because he didn't confront [Fate Eternal] head-on, Kaito could only make this speculation based on the fact that he dared to confront Tornado and Mob.
And more importantly, Kaito had a more intuitive understanding of the essence of power in this Space.
He looked at the place where Seo Ji-woo last lay before his corpse turned into a Scarlet Drop Card and disappeared.
Physical attributes extremely high, speed extremely fast, strength extremely great. At the same time, as long as he could harm the opponent, he could use the ability of [Excessive Slaughter] to amplify damage exponentially...
This was an ability combination rarely meeting a match among [Strong] tier Reincarnators.
When facing Reincarnators weaker than himself, he could almost achieve easy instant kills.
Placed two or three mission worlds ago, he would probably be the type of enemy Kaito found most difficult to contend with.
Strength and speed were overwhelmingly inferior. No matter how excellent Taijutsu was, it wouldn't help.
But now, Kaito had realized that this level of strength ultimately only dominated the First Ladder.
Second Ladder · Energy Ladder. In this domain, Seo Ji-woo's ability could only be considered equal to those energy powerhouses.
Facing martial artists like [Red Dust], probably if Red Dust hadn't learned stronger martial arts, he could win. But facing Reincarnators of [Millennium Bug]'s type, he would be countered and defeated.
And reaching the Third Ladder, he completely lost the advantage.
Facing various treacherous abilities in the Space, Seo Ji-woo lacked the capital to cope. Probably because he had been playing "house" games with those low-rank Reincarnators, this Scarlet Sin Reincarnator didn't appear much in the intelligence of various forces.
A Sin Reincarnator actually didn't become a fierce person feared by everyone. When Kaito knew this point, he knew Seo Ji-woo wasn't that kind of true strong enemy.
He wasn't bragging either. To kill Seo Ji-woo, Kaito had multiple means.
He had Samwol Chaebol's intelligence channels and could easily obtain Seo Ji-woo's true name and appearance. Using [Death Note] to curse him to death, Seo Ji-woo wouldn't even be able to see Kaito's face.
Eighth Turn of Setsuna combined with Transcendent Helix amplified base speed, allowing him to obtain speed surpassing Seo Ji-woo. Shun Goku Satsu combined with Shinra Death Intent successfully instantly killed Seo Ji-woo;
Not to mention, Kaito could actually release Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara. Sharingan Genjutsu and [Unlimited Void] could both form a certain-kill situation against Seo Ji-woo who lacked immunity.
Comparing with himself, Kaito also had a clearer understanding of the direction he needed to strengthen next.
Resistance and immunity to various abnormal abilities, and... Priority!
Ability Priority was repeatedly mentioned by the Space in various descriptions. Kaito also realized its importance.
[You opened Scarlet Drop Card]
[Drop opening in progress...]
[Calculating target slaughter points... Target possesses Sin Karma Points. This reward increases by an extra tier]
[Based on the effect of Omen of the Evil God · Cocoon of Greed (Third Stage), reward increases by 75%]
[Based on the effect of Omen of the Evil God · Cocoon of Greed (Third Stage), you will obtain 2 extra reward selection rights]
[Calculation complete. In this opening, you can choose 3 items from the following rewards]
[A: 125% Dimensional Points]
[B: 4 items in backpack]
[C: Extra acquisition of 25% of main attribute added to own attribute (rounded up)]
[D: Randomly extract 1 Specialization, retaining up to Lv7 level]
[E: Randomly obtain 1 Ability, ability can only retain Lv6 level]
[F: 15% probability of precipitating bloodline item, bloodline optimization retained without reservation]
Kaito saw that [Cocoon of Greed (Third Stage)] combined with the reward fluctuation of killing a Sin Reincarnator could actually directly obtain three rewards.
"This is really... inducing me to hunt other Sins..."
