บท 127: Chapter 123: Golden Gift

Blake swallowed loudly, his throat twitching as his saliva ran down his throat. He was doing his best to contain his anger. The red-black aura disappeared, looking over his shoulder at the woman behind him.

Lilith shuddered at first when she met Blake's eyes. Only 'Sword' Sister had seen the gaze that Blake had. Since she was the same as ''Sword'' Sister, he could understand the reason for her gaze and anger. However, he couldn't understand how Blake had gotten as angry as "Sword" Sister.

Still, she kept her smile and spoke.

"How about you give them to me? They are already sought after by the Golden World." Lilith straightened her posture and intended to step forward.

But her steps stopped. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her hand went to her throat.

As the owner of this universe, she was gaining a lot of advantages. Controlling people on Earth, ruling over destiny, doing whatever she wants in space, and more.

One of them was to see the future.

It was very normal for Lilith and those like her to see what could happen in her playground. They couldn't do that outside of their universe, but they could predict what might happen to them or what might happen in the future within them.

And she had just seen that if she kept walking to Blake, her neck would break. It wouldn't be a problem as long as she didn't take a step, but she would die as soon as she took a step.

Dying wasn't a problem for her, she could reincarnate or be reborn where she was. Still, breaking her neck and dying wouldn't feel good.

"A-Are you still resentful of my act back then? My intentions were really good." She took a step back, talking to Blake while waving her hand.

Blake's fingers were moving, his bones crackling. His cold, hard gaze swept over her. He had missed his best chance, he couldn't kill her now even if he wanted to. He exhaled lightly to disperse his anger.

He looked at The Five on the ground. He had nothing more to do with them, all he had to do was take the spear that Scathach had wanted him to have at the beginning of his battle.

He walked away from the girls and went to the unconscious The Five. He reached for the spear. But before I could reach him, something happened.

A golden light shot out from the quintet and illuminated the atmosphere. It was not a bright light, it had a tone that tickled the eyes of the people around. That's why the group was not dazzled by the sudden brightness.

Blake watched in silence what was happening before him. Gentle golden lights shot out from the bodies of each member of The Five. A few shadowy items appeared in the golden light.

From the bodies of Edward, Leo, Jay, Aiden, and Simon, the following were found; A golden shield, an orb with strange writings on it, the book Leo used, and another orb, but this sphere was covered with more ethereal and faint writings, and finally, there was an orange lightning bolt.

"Shisho, what is this?" Blake tried to make sense of what was before him. He understood that each of them was their trick, but he couldn't understand why it had appeared.

"There are many reincarnators in the Golden World, and they have various helpers, what they and the children of the Golden World call "cheats." When a reincarnator kills another reincarnator, his trick is presented as spoils of the fight."

"But I didn't kill them."

"You didn't kill them, but you defeated them in front of the Golden World. They can't take this right from you. Even if they wanted to take it, they couldn't do it while I was there."

Blake nodded and started looking at The Five cheats. As Scathach said, Lilith didn't do anything to stop him when he headed for The Five. Maybe she was frightened of the future she saw, maybe from Scathach, maybe she had no intention of preventing him as she said.

He looked at the golden shield first. This golden shield would come in handy if you're an incurable masochist. As long as the person took charge of the attack, he could multiply his defenses unlimited times, eventually bringing it to a level where even Rumi could not deal damage. [EN: I don't know what Sturdy Saint looks like. To me, the Golden Shield is the best fit for it.]

Blake put his fingers on his chin and rubbed it lightly. Honestly, he didn't need it. Speed aside, he had great physical strength, which would increase exponentially in the future. And with his vibration, no attack could reach him unless he wanted to anymore.

He could give it to the girls, but for now, he wanted to look at the others.

He looked at the two balls. They both looked similar, but one was completely different from the other. The ball from Leo had digital blue color writing; The ball from Aiden, on the other hand, had spiritual, deep writings.

'Don't look at them. You don't need these leeches to get stronger." As Blake looked at the two balls, he heard Scathach's voice in his ears. There was a great contrast in her beautiful voice, and it was clear from her voice how much she wanted him not to take the two balls.

''Leech?''

"Yes, leech. I think you are aware of the thought, Hanbun-deshi. Nothing in this huge universe gives you free power. Even those kids are giving you tricks when they send you here so you can entertain them more or show them more interesting things."

"These leeches want nothing but cling to the person and survive by feeding on them. And when the time comes, they want to seize them. In short, they stick to your body and suck you alive. We'll talk about the details later, but you don't need to have such a thing on your body."

Blake instantly threw these two orbs aside. From the very beginning of their relationship, Scathach had never once lied to him or acted with his malice. She didn't need to do that with the strength she had.

All that was left was the lightning bolt and the book that Simon had.

Blake stared at the book for a few seconds, then tossed it aside. The book was a good tool and should have recorded a lot of "spells" in Jay's hands. However, Blake knew that to unleash the spells in this book, and energy called "Mana" was needed.

Blake knew from the start that Jay was their strongest member. His keen sixth sense conveyed to him a hidden sense of danger from Jay. But Jay's sense of danger seemed forcibly suppressed, like putting an iron muzzle on a wild dog. His danger was forcibly reduced.

After a quick thought session, Blake realized that the energy called Mana is not in this world. Because of this, Jay had not been able to use his full potential. It was a worse cheat than any other with this restriction.

Only lightning remained. Blake stared at the orange lightning bolts that shone through the gentle golden hue and were constantly making thunderous roaring sounds.

"What will happen to these five?" Blake's mind flashed with a thought if his thought was true…

"Whether you like it or not, Lilith will get them, she has to. They will be taken to the Golden World court. I don't know about the others, but given what they've done, one of your kind will be stripped of their power. If you want his strength, you must act now."

At a glance, Scathach understood her disciple's intentions. His mentality made her proud. She liked the way he used his intelligence to get the best results for himself.

Blake nodded and turned towards Simon.

Lilith's expression lit up. She wondered how she could get rid of Blake's resentment towards her. Blake was her favorite reincarnator and had shown her a lot of good stuff. She didn't want her relationship with him to be bad.

Also, Blake was the most powerful reincarnator she had ever summoned to the MHA world. The influence, the power, the power of his women, was the strongest in every way, and she didn't want to be hostile with such a person.

While she was thinking about venting his anger with her, she saw him go to the Golden lights. True, there were Golden Gifts.

Golden Gifts were given to the winner in fights to the death among reincarnators. The winner could get the defeated reincarnator's trick or whatever they wanted.

Reincarnators couldn't take their cheat from every enemy they defeated. The inhabitants of the Golden World had already fixed this problem so that the reincarnators were not overpowered. A reincarnator could only take one cheat in one world, no matter how many reincarnators he defeated.

But it was possible to get something other than that. Except for the person's deception, he could take the memories and life of the reincarnator. It was even possible to get a piece of soul or more if they had special tricks.

But Blake didn't seem to know that, so if she told him that, they might get along for a while.

"Blake…" Lilith raised her hand slightly and called out to Blake. Blake stopped his steps and looked over his shoulder at her with a cold, distant gaze.

"E-ermm.. well, I'm just trying to say you don't need to buy one cheat. You can take their memories and learn more about this world if you want." Blake raised an eyebrow and asked Scathach.

''Really?''

"Yes, you can have the other party's memories if you want. You can even take their lives if you want."

"How does this work?"

"The life that comes to you is given to you as a life force in the number of years he/she would have lived if you had not interfered with the fate of the other party. They take into account the person's character, actions, intentions, and strengths, and consider their most probable destiny.''

"Very detailed." Even as Blake said this, he was intrigued by the unknown information Scathach had provided him.

He turned towards the unconscious The Five. He came in front of the five, his gaze falling on his fellow mate lying unconscious on the sidelines. He put his finger on the speed force above Simon.

He had no intention of throwing away his only opportunity so simply. However, there was something he was wondering about. Did he need to simply throw away his only opportunity? He didn't think he should get Simon speed power by wasting his opportunity.

Although he didn't know much about tricks that glowed with golden lights, there was one thing he understood. The tricks in the golden lights emanating from the quintet opposite him were taken from their bodies or sides and presented to him.

And as far as he could see, they were not untouchable. He was probably supposed to pull the trick out of the golden light. He could touch them if he wanted, and as long as he could...

He pointed his finger at the lightning in the golden light. Lightning began to spin like a snake as if sensing his approach. Unlike previous expeditions, this time Blake didn't feel a plea or a plea from a small existence to a greater existence. It was as if he had encountered a peer or another identical copy of him.

However, it felt a little different. He wasn't sure how to put it into words, but did it feel like he had encountered the original... he wasn't sure, but it was a very strange feeling and he didn't like it at all.

He thrust his hand into the golden light, his finger getting closer and closer to the lightning. However, he stopped just inches from the lightning, activating his lightning bolts instead of touching it.

White lightning bolts emerged from under his skin and headed towards the orange lightning. It began to envelop it, within seconds the outer surface of the lightning was covered with invading white lightning.

Lightning was breaking into small pieces of orange lightning. Unlike the previous time, it was as if they were trying to occupy it from multiple points instead of going to its center.

Bzt!!

A piece of orange lightning swirled through the white lightning and wound around Blake's wrist. Many followed it, wrapping around Blake's wrist, slowly forming into a bracelet.

More orange lightning was carried by the white lightning and fused with the bracelet on Blake's wrist. In just a few seconds, a huge stream of orange lightning had formed between the bracelet and the white lightning.

He continued to suck energy constantly between the gazes of the girls and the bewildered Lilith. He constantly kept the little piece of consciousness that was trying to be pulled away with the energy inside and simply absorbed the energy.

The energy ran out in a few minutes. Like little ants, the white lightning constantly carried energy and dried the orange lightning.

After a few moments, Blake withdrew his hand with a satisfied expression. As he had expected, he was considered undeserved as the lightning was still inside. Though, only a few drops of energy and a piece of consciousness remained inside it.

Blake walked over to Leo with a small smile. In a few strides, he reached him, forcibly wrenching the spear in his arms that he had guarded at the cost of his life. Scathach's weapon was never Leo's. So he could easily take it.

Leo and Simon held out their hands as if something important had been taken from them, and it was indeed taken, but sadly it would never return to them.

Blake turned to the last person, the target to which he would exercise his right.

Two of the rest were leeches, as Scathach would say. One was useless without a specific energy source and the other was exploited by Blake, leaving something behind.

Golden Shield.

Blake put his hand in the golden light and picked up the bright yellow shield. He grabbed the top of the bright yellow shield and pulled it out. When he took it out of the golden light, the golden light dissipated.

However, it was not completely lost. In the next second, each of their tricks was replaced by two options. One of them was the balls that held his memories and constantly flowing images. The other was a cluster of green lights.

This was the memory and life choice Scathach said.

Blake didn't think much of it. He took the memory of each of them.

The reason he didn't take the lives was because he didn't need them. He had realized long ago that he was aging slower as a speedster. He could probably live for centuries, or even a few thousand years, and this increased each time he absorbed a speed power.

But he didn't have memories, that is, knowledge. His biggest shortcoming was not knowing about MHA anime or other animes, and he would need this information as he was planning to leave this world soon.

The knowledge that The Five possessed would provide him with what he was lacking and fix his only weakness.

As for life, he could give it to the girls, but he had a feeling that long life in the future wouldn't be an issue. If he couldn't find anything, he could turn the girls into speeders.

After Blake took the golden shield and the knowledge orbs, he took the girls who were looking at the items in his hands as if they were magic and headed home. He ignored Lilith, who watched them go along the way.

Blake and the girls were home within minutes. Blake had studied the environment with his Lightning Field and had actively eluded the influx of heroes and humans that had rushed towards them due to the confusion they had created.

When they got home, the girls quickly took their seats. Blake didn't need to say anything to them, each one filled with curiosity and waiting for an explanation of what they had just seen.

Blake took a deep breath. He looked at the girls before he started. Each of their eyes was burning with curiosity. They wanted nothing more than to listen to what Blake had to say.

And Blake began to say the words that would completely change his life and the girls' lives.
