Capítulo 336: Sharingan
At that moment, a thought entered Zane's mind:
"Zane don't worry, I am fine."
"When I successfully advance to the sixth dimension, I'll definitely come out immediately to help you defeat all your enemies."
"However, I have discovered some interesting aspects about this divinity and need a few more days to unlock them, then I'll successfully break through."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Zane gently stroked the surface of the jade sphere, whispering softly.
A dark green light pulsed on the sphere, then suddenly retracted into the shell and vanished.
Soon, the entire jade sphere became quiet again, all external fluctuations subsiding.
Zane knew Lorna had focused on solving the problem, and feeling her determination to grow stronger for him, a warm feeling surged in Zane's heart.
Then, a long-awaited voice sounded in Zane's mind:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering and successfully completing a hidden task: killing a member of the Celestial Group.]
[Based on your completion level, you've earned an S-tier random skill draw opportunity.]
"Would you like to use it now?"
"Hold on…"
Hearing the system's words, Zane paused and asked:
"Killing a member of the Celestial Group?"
"A few days ago, didn't I kill Ego from the Celestial Group?"
[Host, as per the system's categorisation, Ego is classified as a star core entity and does not count as a member of the Celestial Group composed of primordial cosmic energy."
The system replied mechanically.
"Primordial cosmic energy?"
Zane vaguely understood the system's meaning and decided not to dwell on the matter, continuing instead:
"System, draw."
[Congratulations, host. You've completed the draw and acquired an S-tier skill.]
[Mangekyo Sharingan] originating from Naruto, is an advanced evolution of the Sharingan bloodline limit."
[As the host, you can use this skill without any negative side effects and can access all abilities tied to it.]
"Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"So the next upgrade would be the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and perhaps even the Rinnegan."
"Not bad, I suppose."
Before Zane could carefully examine the system's reward, the system issued another task:
[Since the host triggered this mission branch, you may choose one of the following two missions.]
[Mission 1: Eliminate three members of the Celestial Group;
Success grants one random skill of B to S tier.
Failure incurs no penalty.]
[Mission 2: Eliminate the leader of the Celestial Group;
Success grants one random skill of A to S tier;
Failure incurs no penalty.]
Hmm, this system is stirring things up today.
Clearly, Mission 2 has a better reward, and it also requires fewer kills.
However, recalling the words the Destruction Celestial had spoken to him before dying, Zane understood.
After all, an eighth-dimensional entity is undoubtedly beyond what the other seventh-dimensional Celestial Group members can compare with.
Then, Zane calculated in his mind again and, recalling what the system had previously mentioned, asked at an easygoing pace:
"System, in this Mission 1, does 'Celestial Group members' still only refer to the original batch of Celestial Group members?"
[Yes]
[The designated targets for Mission 1 are limited to Celestial Group members derived from primordial cosmic energy.]
That's easy enough—just check if there's a soul left after they're killed.
Zane felt a bit puzzled by the system's strict requirements for identifying Celestial Group members as only the original ones.
He also wondered why Ego, an evolved planetary life form and non-human, possessed a soul, while others he had killed left only a crystal divinity.
It seemed the concept of a soul was far more complex than he'd imagined.
Just having consciousness didn't necessarily mean possessing a soul.
Zane thought about the dark golden walnut-shaped mass deep within his mind, its black portions growing, which had reshaped some of his previously incomplete perceptions.
He chose to let go of these complicated questions, staying silent for a moment before asking the system again:
"So, system, can I accept both missions at the same time?"
After all, killing one Celestial Group member or killing three—it's all killing.
And, it seemed the system had left an inconsistency in the task design.
Wouldn't the leader of the Celestial Group, Alise, count as a Celestial Group member?
So, it was very likely that the system didn't oppose completing both missions at once.
Recalling the system's earlier reactions, Zane became increasingly confident in his reasoning.
Soon after, the system responded affirmatively:
[You may accept both tasks simultaneously.]
[As these tasks are part of a hidden branch, and there is no conflict between them.]
[You may accept both.]
[Do you confirm accepting Missions 1 and 2 simultaneously ?]
Hmm?
Just as expected.
The system really allowed both missions to proceed at the same time.
This was honestly the first time.
It seemed the system indeed had a "grudge" against the Celestial Group members.
If Zane hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the system in his mind lacked independent consciousness, he would've started to wonder if the original Celestial Group members had some deep-seated enmity with the system.
Then, Zane reflected further and arrived at a faint conclusion.
It was probably connected to the "relationship between the original Celestial Group members and the pure cosmic energy."
Knowing the system was awaiting his response, Zane answered:
"I confirm accepting both missions."
[Since both tasks were accepted, the system has recombined the mission content as follows:]
[Eliminate the Celestial Group leader, Judge Arishem, as well as three additional Celestial Group members.]
[Mission success will reward you with two random skills, each ranging from A to SS tier.]
"Mission failure carries no penalties."
With that, the system vanished, leaving Zane standing there, feeling disoriented in the wind.
Uh…
