"It does not matter in the end: you will surely die in my hands today," said Tobias as he activated his Armament Haki
"How could you be so strong?" asked Michelle; they had fought multiple times, and the enemy was never this powerful.
"I went on a suicide mission on the Otsutsuki battlefield and survived," he calmly replied, and Michelle understood the reason for the tremendous change. The Samsara Hall is a place where points are omnipotent. As long as you have them, you can do anything–including instantly rising to higher Tiers.
However, missions are not so easy to survive. By nature, the tasks of the Samsara Hall are perilous, but the higher the danger, the higher the reward.
So, she knew Tobias used the reward from his mission to learn advanced Haki.
Tobias no longer talked nonsense and attacked. Meanwhile, Michelle had a look of despair on her face. Her Reverse Curse Technique was slow in healing her injuries, so she knew she would not survive another attack. As she watched the fist, she saw her life flashing before her eyes.
Bang! A terrifying explosion occurred where Michelle lay on the floor.
Tobias suddenly frowned as he felt something was wrong; he checked the object he had hit.
"A puppet?" he muttered before thinking of something that made his face turn ugly. He looked at his surrounding and saw the sky was dark. Many puppets lay on the floor: some broken and some intact. Meanwhile, Michelle had five puppets of different colors floating before her.
"A Domain Expansion?" he muttered with seriousness. Only the most talented Jujutsu Sorcerer can awaken their Domain Expansion. "No, it should be an Incomplete."
But even then, this showed Michelle's talent for Curse Energy. She should achieve a complete Domain after training for a while. And if she uses Samsara Points, she will instantly complete it.
"Even with an Incomplete Domain Expansion, I can still kill you."
"Arrogant," said Tobias before rushing to his opponent. Unfortunately, the five puppets stopped him with elemental attacks like ice, fire, thunder, and light. Additionally, he had to watch out for the puppet, who could become invisible.
Bang!
Tobias crashed on the floor. Although he had Future Sight with his Observation Haki, the opponent used a large-scale area and did not give room to evade. However, as a person who trains in the One Piece system, his defense and stamina were abnormal. So, his injuries were minor things to him.
Tobias rushed toward his opponent as if he had given up on his life. Michelle did not hesitate to bomb him again. However, Tobias used full Body Armament Haki to tank the attack and get close to the enemy with the greatest attack: the Thunder Puppet.
He punched it in its head. During the process, black lightning flashed in Armament Haki's fist. Without any surprise, the puppet's head popped like a balloon.
"Conqueror Coating," said Michelle with a grave expression; the enemy had learned two types of Advanced Haki Applications, thus drastically increasing his danger level.
"One down, four to go," muttered Tobias.
Michelle looked at the destroyed puppet with gritted teeth. If her Domain was complete, she could use the parts around to fix it. Unfortunately, these parts can only be used to exchange positions with her, saving her life. However, she only had four more chances or lives. If she could not kill Tobias with these chances, she would die in the Naruto World.
Tobias understood his opponent should be difficult to kill after how the latter escaped his last killing blow. So, he prepared for a prolonged battle–which was to his advantage. The admirals in one piece can fight for ten days and nights. Although he has not reached that level, he could still battle for three days straight with no issue.
"Ding."
"Ding."
Before either could move, they heard a sound and simultaneously looked at the watch on their wrist. Although it looked ordinary, the watch did not have a single scratch on it despite their intense battle. And it was unsurprising to these two as they knew the watch would be intact even if the entire solar system exploded.
Immediately, Tobias and Michelle's faces became ugly as they read the information they received. Even Tobias–a man with high Willpower–could not help trembling. And that's because of the news the Samsara Hall sent.
[Attention to all Reincarnators, your timeline has been invaded by a Tier 8 Legendary Arcanist, resulting in changes to the mission.
[Previous Mission: Join the Shinobi Alliance or the Akatsuki, and win the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
[Difficulty: Extreme.
[Level: Tier 6 Battlefield.]
[Status: Cancel.
[Point Rewards: Calculated based on the reincarnator's performance.]
[Generating New Mission: Survive three days.
[Difficulty: Nightmare.
[Level: Tier 8 or above.]
'No, no, no,' thought Tobias, as his mind worked on overdrive. He had already planned his entire life and future rise to power. In this Naruto World, he had acquired the Eight Inner Gates and intended to combine them with other power systems from Samsara Hall and permanently open the gates.
Upon success, his body will reach an unimaginable level, and he will rise from Tier 4 to Tier 5. Then, he will go to the Dragon Ball Universe to learn KI. With his Haki and 8 Inner Gates foundation, it should be no problem to rapidly reach Tier 6.
Finally, he will do a few missions to exchange a Saiyan Bloodline. Then, the path to Tier 10 and above will open to him as he masters Super Saiyen Blue and Ultra Instinct. He might even find a way to become an Angel.
But now, everything changed as death loomed over him.
'No, I must survive no matter what.' His mind rushed faster than ever before as he created an initial survival plan. As a reincarnator, he lived on the brink of death in every mission, so he knew he had to remain calm at all costs. He looked at Michelle, 'Do you want to continue fighting?"
Michelle did not say anything but removed her Domain; she knew it was pointless to continue fighting.
"Do you want to team up?" asked Michelle. Although they were previously enemies, the situation had changed, so working together might not be a bad idea.
Tobias frowned after hearing the question, "Can your Puppet Substitution technique be used on others?"
"Yes, but I have to sacrifice three times more puppets." In her Domain Expansion, she has 12 puppets she can use for substitution, meaning she has 12 lives. However, once she uses it on someone else, she has to sacrifice three puppets to save one life.
"How can I trust you?" continued Tobias.
"I have a magical contact from the World of Warcraft. We can sign it."
"Good." Tobias and Michelle did not waste time and quickly came up with an agreement and signed it.
"What's your plan?" asked Michelle.
"We need to meet Commander Sasha."
"Her?" said Michelle with a frown. "Wait, do you want to?"
"This might be our only chance."
"Good. Let's go."
A few kilometers away from this group:
Edward–who was hiding with an invisible spell–watched an interesting battle. A young man who seemed Hispanic Descent wore a military-inspired uniform. The other was fighting against numerous White Zetsus.
The earth around the young man floated above his head as he used them to smash these creepy white things. And once they got too close, a powerful energy wave emanated from his body and pushed them away.
'Psychic Energy,' analyzed Edward. 'Where is the origin of his power?'
He knew there should be no Psychic Energy in the Naruto World, so this young man should acquire it from another universe. However, there could be many sources for this power–including the X-Gene from X-Men.
'Let's scan his body first.' Without the young man's knowledge, Edward scanned his body down to every atom of his existence.
'What's the result?' he asked Morgana, knowing she could process the data faster than him.
'There seems to be a virus that forcibly changed his DNA structure and Life Code,' explained Morgana. 'However, the process seemed very rough and extremely dangerous. It's a miracle he survived.'
'Virus?' His eyes suddenly lit up. 'Could it be the T-Virus?'
Resident Evil is one of the favorite world Lord Gods used to send reincarnators in their first mission. The world is low-level, dangerous enough for ordinary people, and it has a high probability of acquiring superpowers through different viruses.
While in deep thought, Edward suddenly noticed the young man looking at his watch, and his face became ugly.
"Have I been detected?" he muttered.
"Who?" yelled the young man. Edward appeared before him, and before he could react, he waved his hand to imprison him.
"You're the Legendary Arcanist?" asked Hernandes.
"So, you've heard of me," said Edward with a smile. "Your Lord God is faster than I anticipated."
Hernandes did not know how to react. The being before him was a Tier 8 powerhouse. Tier 8 was the pinnacle in the entire Samsara Hall, and there probably were only 30 of them despite the millions of reincarnators.
"I would ask you for information, but I guess you'll die the moment you try to answer them," added Edward and Hernandes quickly nodded his head, hoping this Arcanist would be kindhearted to let him go. Although he knew such a thing was only possible in his dream.
"Your facial expression changed after looking at the watch, so you must have received the information about my arrival from it," he commented as he looked at the black watch. However, the thing was empty, and he could not see anything.
"Is it linked to his visual cortex?" he muttered before pointing his eyes in front of Hernandes's eyes, accessing his retina and visual cortex.
"Nothing? Then, it must be linked to his Soul," he analyzed. "Morgana."
"Yes, master," replied the little elf with purple.
"Scan the watch and give me an analysis."
"Ai, Ai, Captain," she replied before looking intensely at the watch. A few minutes later, she said with a frown, "The material of this watch is very unique. I've never seen such a complex atomic structure."
"What did you find?"
"By my preliminary analysis, this thing seems indestructible–even more than the magicium you created."
"So, it can even survive Void Energy?"
"Yes, it could probably survive a Void Energy Bomb capable of destroying hundreds of timelines."
Edward was surprised; a hundred timelines equaled 100 universes.
"Anything else?"
"That's the issue. I can analyze the material of the watch, but I am clueless about the technology of this watch. In my eyes, it's nothing but a well-crafted metal."
"That means the technology is beyond something we have ever come in contact with."
"Yes, which is both good and bad news," nodded Morgana. The bad news is they are clueless, but the good news is the Empire will benefit immensely by deciphering this technology. Even analyzing the material composition of the watch will benefit them.
Meanwhile, Hernandes was speechless by their conversation. He heard many Casters and scientists tried to analyze the Samsara Watch but failed to identify the material. But these two figured it out in a few minutes.
As for Void Energy? He has heard of it since the Samsara Hall sells it, but the price is simply ridiculous. Furthermore, a Tier 7 Immortal Cultivator once tried to study Void Energy to create a powerful spell to fight above his Tier. Unfortunately, something went wrong, and the energy annihilated him.
So, Void Energy is considered taboo in the Samsara Hall, even amongst the Tier Mages, Scientists, or other power systems.
Edward looked at Hernandes, "The Lord God should have placed some restrictions in your soul in case you tried to reveal its secret. Let's search for it."
With a glance, he entered Hernandes' Soul Dimension, which was an all-white space. He knew this was the surface level, and most go deeper to find the latter's soul and secrets.
Edward took one step, and the surroundings changed. He saw an image of a younger Hernandez being rejected by a beautiful woman with black hair. That night, the latter drank too much before finding a black watch.
The watch asked him, [Do you want to know the meaning of life? Yes/No]
Drunk and filled with numerous emotions, Hernandes chose yes and became a reincarnator. The exciting thing is he did not regret that choice since the Samsara Hall allowed him to live a more thrilling and fulfilling life. As for the risk of death, Hernandes believed death was easier than the pain he suffered that night.
"Interesting kid," commented Edward. He knew this was the second layer of the Soul Dimension, often in the form of a core memory of its owner. But he needed to reach the third layer. He took one more space, and the scene changed again.
He looked at a castle in the distance. The third layer is usually where the soul resides and where Arcanists leave their protection; it could be in the form of castles like Hernandes, massive walls, a labyrinth, an armada of spaceships, or even a simple computer with encrypted passwords.
"Such a poor soul defense." Edward shook his head before turning into motes of lights and infiltrating the castle. After a few minutes, he found Hernandes' soul in one of the weapons rooms.
"How did you get in here?" Hernandes spent a lot of Samsara Points to buy a soul-defensive treasure from an Immortal Cultivator. Most reincarnators will do the same, knowing the importance of the soul.
"Kid, if I could have forcefully summoned your soul to the first layer if I did not want to be careful and not injure you."
"First Layer? What's that?"
Edward paused as he forgot this person probably knew little to nothing about the soul.
"Forget it. Please don't resist and make my job more challenging."
Hernandes snorted coldly, "This is my Sea of Consciousness. According to the cultivator's methods, I am God and omnipotent in this place."
As he said these words, his soul body grew to 20 meters, wearing golden armor and two hammers.
"Ridiculous," uttered Edward as a strange wave emanated from his body. Immediately, Hernandes's body shrunk, and a rope tied him up, rendering him immobile.
"Even if you have the home advantage, the difference between my soul and yours is comparable to a small rock, and the sun, not to mention you have zero to little knowledge about the soul."
Although Hernandes used Psychic Energy, it was not the type that mainly originated from the soul but the type that relied on the evolution of the brain and DNA. So, his advantage in the Soul Dimension was less apparent than other Psychic Users. Furthermore, he was only Tier 3.
"You seem to have read too many cultivation novels," commented Edward as he analyzed the latter's soul.
"My dream is to be a supreme cultivator."
"Then, why are you using the Psychic System?"
"I don't have a Spirit Root, so I wanted to save enough points to buy the best Spirit Root for cultivation."
"Saving Points? With your level, that's a stupid tactic."
Survival is the main theme of the Samsara Hall, so reincarnators should increase their strength as soon as possible in the early stages to ensure their survival. Only after reaching a certain Tier should they think about saving points and so on.
Hernandes smiled embarrassedly. Many people said the same thing to him, but he was stubborn. Now, he understood how stupid he was.
"Found it," muttered Edward as he found a small character embedded in Hernandes' soul
'As expected, this Lord God did not place the contract in the fourth layer; he's a weak one amongst his kind.'
The Empire recently discovered the fourth layer of the Soul Dimension, where they believed the Soul Essence resides. As the name implies, it is the source and origin of the soul; it is the place that grants the soul its semi-immortality and, most likely, the site where the source of the Human Limit originated from.
Unfortunately, the research on that level is still in the preliminary stages, so even Edward knows very little about the fourth layer.
Edward focused on the characters in Hernandes' body. The character gave up an ancient and noble aura; it was like it was the beginning of everything, the source of something mighty.
Many thoughts flashed across Edward's mind as he felt he had caught into something. A few seconds later, he muttered with shock, "Is this an Origin Rune?"
