Chapter 24: All Hail The Boss!
"Finally! A purple-grade talent! It's even something I really need, especially when I start collecting those avatar crystals," Linsley exclaimed with satisfaction. "It's much more convenient to have my very own space storage."
Without any hesitation, Linsley selected the Space Storage (Purple) talent.
-Ding!
[The host has chosen the following talent: Space Storage (Purple)]
[The host has inherited the following talent: Martial Arts Master (Blue)]
-Ding!
[Starting the simulation in {Avatar World}…]
-Ding!
[You opened your eyes and discovered that you are currently inside a modern room.]
[With a wave of your hand, you stored the pillow in front of you into your space storage. You smiled, confirming that your new talent worked perfectly.]
[Your space storage seemed to be connected to the powers of your Invisible Providence avatar. It felt like you had gained an additional ability for your avatar.]
[Not only could you store anything you touched, but anything that your invisible tentacles touched could also be stored in the space storage.]
[The only downside was that you couldn't store living things within your space storage, but that wasn't much of an issue. You speculated that only a gold-grade talent would allow for the storage of living things.]
["Unlike the previous simulation, I don't have that damn white-grade Useless talent hindering my powers. Now, I can finally experiment with the avatar crystals and find a way to become stronger."]
[With this plan in mind, you left your house and headed straight for the base of the Sky High Gang.]
[You recalled that both the Sky High Gang and the Earth Down Gang each had an avatar crystal. If you managed to collect them, you would have two avatar crystals in your possession, which you planned to use despite already having awakened your avatar.]
[You weren't entirely sure if the avatar crystals could be used to enhance an already awakened avatar. However, based on the countless novels you had read in your past life, it seemed worth a try.]
[After all, if these crystals had enough energy to awaken an avatar in a worthy human, they might just have enough power to strengthen an existing avatar.]
[The only concern was whether using an avatar crystal on an already awakened avatar could be fatal if the avatar wasn't strong enough to withstand the energy. But in the context of the god simulation, where your life wasn't truly at risk, you considered this a calculated experiment.]
[As you contemplated the potential of the avatar crystals, you arrived at the Sky High Gang's base.]
[Your arrival, as expected, was met with hostility from the gang members. It was a day they were involved in drug smuggling, so naturally, a stranger walking in would raise suspicion and prompt an aggressive response.]
[Without wasting any time, you decided to subdue them as swiftly as possible.]
[With both of your hands casually placed in your pants pockets, you summoned countless purple-colored invisible tentacles. Each tentacle expertly bound and restricted the movements of one gangster, ensuring that they wouldn't be able to retaliate.]
[Since they would soon become your henchmen, you had no intention of killing them.]
[When Viktor noticed that all of his gangsters were immobilized by something invisible, he began to consider persuading you to become his deputy gang leader.]
[But this time, you weren't interested in negotiating with Viktor. He wasn't nearly powerful enough to be your boss.]
[Without hesitation, you directed your purple-colored invisible tentacles toward Viktor. Even though Viktor had already summoned his Water Man avatar as a defensive measure, it was futile against an opponent he couldn't even perceive.]
[In the blink of an eye, both Viktor and his avatar were tightly bound by your invisible tentacles, rendering them completely immobile.]
[Before Viktor could curse at you, you enveloped him in countless purple-colored invisible tentacles, encasing him in a cocoon-like structure.]
[Afterward, you activated your identity distortion ability, effectively brainwashing Viktor into becoming your loyal subordinate.]
[While manipulating Viktor's mind, you also wrapped yourself inside a similar cocoon-like tentacle structure, altering your identity in this world. You changed your name from Linsley Sinclair to Linley Sinclair and retained the Phantom Reaper identity template you had used before.]
[With this transformation, even if you encountered an avatar master with rule-based powers like the Death Envoy, your identity would remain protected, hidden behind a carefully crafted facade.]
[In just a matter of seconds, the cocoons shattered, revealing your new identity as Phantom Reaper. Viktor, now under your control, knelt before you and declared, "Boss, I, your lowly servant, am at your command!"]
[You nodded at Viktor but didn't stop with just him. You extended your identity distortion to the rest of the gangsters present within the Sky High Gang base, ensuring their loyalty and preventing any potential betrayal.]
[In under half a minute, the entire Sky High Gang was now your disposable pawn!]
[With your control secured, you commanded Viktor, "Initiate a gang takeover against the Earth Down Gang. If they refuse, it doesn't matter—we'll march to their base and take it by force."]
[Viktor immediately knelt, followed by the rest of the gangsters, all chanting in unison, "All hail the boss!"]
