One could imagine that a world capable of enhancing the soul couldn't possibly be an ordinary, everyday world. The kind where you just cook and fall in love was out of the question.
But if it involved a level of martial power, and the System was sending him in as an 'ordinary person', wasn't that just a death sentence?
Yusei directly asked the System this question.
Unfortunately, the System didn't answer, only continuing to display the advantages and disadvantages of the two choices.
The advantage of the first option, attaining godhood through the body, was its extraordinary combat power.
This didn't even need the System to state, as anyone who could reach the level of a God of Destruction and even master Ultra Instinct obviously had immense combat power. However, the disadvantage lay in lifespan.
Although combat power was super strong, one would still be within the human range. While the body might be invincible, it couldn't exist forever.
This was the System's godhood mission. It wasn't that gods in Dragon Ball had short lifespans, as becoming a god there naturally granted a long life.
The original work's setting here was just attaining godhood through the body, while the soul remained mortal and couldn't keep up with the extended lifespan.
This was unacceptable to Yusei. He didn't need such immense power.
He had no powerful enemies seeking his life, nor any terrifying existences. Moreover, a fighting style based on direct, hand-to-hand combat didn't suit him.
As for the second option, Soul Sublimation, its advantage lay in high mystery, a powerful soul, and an indestructible spirit.
Even with a mortal body, one could retain consciousness and survive indefinitely.
Its disadvantage, compared to the first option, was the lack of planet-busting power as easy as drinking water.
After reading, Yusei immediately made his choice. Without a doubt, he did not want to enter the Dragon Ball World, even if the second mission required him to enter with a 'blank slate'.
Without the System's help or a special bloodline, entering the Dragon Ball World was suicidal.
The second task also seemed like a trap, but upon closer thought, although he entered with a 'blank slate', if he used his brains a bit, he should still be able to complete the System's mission.
Furthermore, was he really an ordinary person? One must remember, his swordsmanship wasn't given by the System or learned from some secret manual. It was something he painstakingly learned himself.
Even in an ordinary person's state, he could still exert about half the power of his Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.
Thinking this way, although this level of strength might encounter unsolvable problems, if he had a good sword, he could still deal with ordinary small fries.
He could just use his brains more and win through strategy.
Swordsmanship had always been something Yusei valued greatly, as it was the only thing he mastered independently, without relying on the System.
The Sharingan was given by the System, but the swordsmanship copied by the Sharingan was truly imprinted on his body. It was muscle memory, not directly brought by the System.
After obtaining the [Sword God] Authority from Takemikazuchi, Yusei had actually faintly sensed the feeling of true 'swordsmanship reaching the divine'.
It was a feeling that there was nothing he couldn't cut, that he could cut anything he wished.
If he wished to cut, he would surely hit. If he did not wish to cut, he would definitely not hit.
Acting as he pleased, the sword moved as fluidly as his own arm. A casual strike could reach the level of splitting mountains and parting seas.
However, the notion of a casual strike splitting mountains and parting seas was something Yusei felt he could achieve only after his swordsmanship reached greater heights in the future.
Currently, based on his swordsmanship alone, without relying on Susanoo, he couldn't achieve that.
Yusei took a deep breath and decided to choose the second mission.
The System mission had already explained: strip away the numerous abilities, use his own body to perceive the soul, and enter a random world related to souls alone.
This couldn't help but raise a thread of anticipation in Yusei.
He wondered where would this unknown world be.
Meanwhile, the two-gods-one-rabbit squad in Tokyo was feeling disheartened.
They had searched for a full day and night. Their search via divine energy had covered the Tokyo metropolitan area and several surrounding places, but they still found nothing.
This had left them feeling dejected.
Helpless, the Moon Rabbit Reisen could only take her leave. After all, her mission was to slay the [God-Stealer].
If the so-called God-Stealer wasn't here, or simply didn't exist, then she needed to return and report.
The Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi wasn't her personal sword, after all. It was one of the Three Sacred Treasures, and a blade primarily for slaughter. She couldn't suppress it for too long.
Only its owner, Susanoo, or his daughter, Princess Kaguya, could.
As Susanoo's direct relative, Princess Kaguya was recognized by the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.
After a day and night, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was becoming restless.
Without Princess Kaguya's command, it was beginning to show signs of erupting.
If the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ran amok in the outside world, the resulting slaughter wouldn't be minor.
There was a theory that during the Age of Gods, the Three Noble Gods weren't the strongest existences. They weren't siblings but more like a sworn alliance.
Initially, the strongest existences were Izanagi and Izanami. They ruled the entire Age of Gods, tyrannical and evil, draining the life force of mortals on the earth.
Other benevolent deities couldn't stand by. An organization of gods from [Takamagahara], led by Amaterasu, was formed. The original three in this organization were Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.
The three of them worked together and ultimately defeated Izanami and Izanagi.
This theory was buried within the long traces of history, its truth unknown.
However, some also said this was completely false, because in the handed-down history, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo were all formed from Izanagi's eyes and nose, making them Izanagi's children.
Clearly, if they were enemies, how could these three Great Gods allow such an absurd history, that they were the 'children of their enemy', to be passed down?
This theory was self-contradictory and clearly untenable. However, there was one piece of evidence: both Izanami and Izanagi were slain by one god.
That god was Susanoo, or more precisely, Susanoo and the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi in his hand.
Legend says the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi slew the strongest primordial gods, staining it with their evil, tyrannical, and murderous aura.
The subsequent continuous godly wars also confirmed that Susanoo was a god who liked to wage war externally.
This could be considered proof supporting this theory.
But helplessly, as the saying goes, this could also be attributed to Susanoo's own personality and couldn't be considered conclusive evidence. Meanwhile, the handed-down history could.
The Three Noble Gods naturally wouldn't allow the notion that they were the children of their enemy.
So, gradually, history became fixed as it is, and the circulating theory slowly faded away.
