After noticing that Ōnoki had not directly escaped, Kei shifted his focus to the deep system interface.
This was a huge windfall. He quickly redeemed all kinds of rewards to strengthen his power. How could he waste such good luck today?
System, use Trait Conversion Card (Purple) one [Battle of Misfortune].
- Heavenly Divine Play (Purple)]
[Heavenly Divine Play (Purple):
Designate two individuals, excluding the trait owner, whose strength is at least ten times greater than the trait owner's. These two must engage in a 1v1 battle. The battle cannot be refused, and both fighters will go all out. Others cannot interfere. The trait owner can adjust both fighters' strength levels, with a maximum fluctuation of ±15%. The battle ends only when one fighter dies or the trait owner deactivates the trait effect.]
Heavenly Divine Play... A game for the gods?
Kei stroked his chin, the corners of his lips curving into a subtle smile.
Although it couldn't be used on himself and only allowed him to designate others to fight, with the condition that their strength had to be ten times greater than his...
But in the entire shinobi world, was there anyone whose strength was ten times greater than his?
Perhaps the legendary Ōtsutsuki Shibai, who had consumed countless divine fruit, transcended life and death, abandoned his physical body, and crossed dimensions, might be an exception.
But he had already left the shinobi world. How could he possibly appear before him?
For Kei, this trait's effect was even superior to many red traits. Not only was it an insanely powerful control ability, but it was also a guaranteed enemy elimination tool.
Right now, if both Momoshiki and Kinshiki dared to appear before him together, he would make them fight each other on the spot. He'd increase Kinshiki's combat strength by 15% and decrease Momoshiki's by 15%.
Under the forced combat effect of the trait, Kinshiki would have to fight with full strength and wouldn't be able to voluntarily let himself be absorbed by Momoshiki.
Who knows? This might actually allow Momoshiki to witness the shinobi world's age-old tradition, overcoming the strong from below.
After carefully contemplating how to use [Heavenly Divine Play], Kei turned his attention to the random associated trait extraction he had just obtained and used it immediately.
[Associated trait selected: Handsome]
- Heartbreaker (Blue)]
[Heartbreaker (Blue):
With an outstanding appearance, exceptional ability, elegant speech, and superior temperament, this enhances personal charm, charisma, verbal expression, and attraction to the opposite sex. Additionally, the probability of being targeted by a jealous lover is reduced.]
"Hmm... uh... well... my appearance-related traits couldn't keep dragging me down forever, right?"
Kei glanced at the three remaining blue traits on his personal panel.
Using an excuse even he didn't quite believe, he activated the blue trait [Heartbreaker].
They say the fewer words, the greater the impact.
Although the description of [Heartbreaker] wasn't lengthy, the flood of knowledge it brought upon activation was anything but insignificant.
Besides various speech techniques, it also included knowledge about fashion sense, posture, table manners, resting etiquette, and other refined behaviors.
Even how to pose for photos and videos was included. He had never realized before, that even eating a meal or going to the restroom could involve so many rules.
[Compatibility detected:
- Heartbreaker (Blue)]
- The Strong Don't Die by the Knife (Purple)]
[The Strong Don't Die by the Knife (Purple):
Near-perfect appearance, overwhelming strength, and an aura that commands attention. This greatly enhances personal charm, speech, charisma, and attraction to the opposite sex. The stronger the individual, the lower the probability of being targeted by a jealous lover.]
Speech skills, huh... What a waste. After decades of habit, my most elegant act is spitting properly. And besides...
Kei stared at the ever-decreasing probability of being attacked due to jealousy and found himself at a loss for words.
He wasn't like that playboy Tony Stark, who flirted with every girl. How could he possibly end up in a situation where he'd get attacked for it?
The system just loved to misunderstand him...
Shaking off these thoughts, he refocused on the interface.
He used his most important Trait Upgrade (Red) on his lifebound trait, [Transmigrator].
The trait that brought him to this world, the one that had accompanied him all this way... If he didn't use it on this, what else could he use it on?
- Multiversal Transmigrator (Gold)]
The system notification sounded.
Before Kei could fully process the changes from the upgrade, another system prompt followed.
[Compatibility detected:
- Multiversal Transmigrator (Gold)
- Spatial Insight (Purple)]
- Multiversal Voyager (Gold)]
[Multiversal Voyager (Gold):
A traveler blessed by great fortune, baptized by the energy of time and space. Possesses the ability to explore, capture, and record temporal-spatial coordinates across multiple worlds, with supreme talent. Significantly enhances soul strength, mental fortitude, growth speed, growth potential, spatial awareness, and affinity with space-time.]
As the system notification ended, Kei felt an explosion in his mind.
Countless insights about space-time flooded in, while his spiritual energy and very soul began to undergo a profound transformation. His soul, already refined once under [Yin-Yang Sage Master], was further solidified and strengthened!
When he looked inward, his entire soul seemed to glow with a radiant, gem-like brilliance!
Pure, clear, crystalline, flawless.
Powerful, perfect—almost tangible.
His spatial talent, already formidable under [Spatial Insight], had now ascended to a realm that left him utterly dazzled.
Even with the system's direct infusion of knowledge, he still felt an odd sense of disconnection, as if his mind understood it, but his hands couldn't yet execute it!
With this overwhelming spatial ability, he could now clearly perceive the Pure Land, a realm he had once fleetingly sensed but could never locate again.
And he was certain—once he fully grasped his power, that so-called "mysterious" Pure Land would become nothing more than his personal backyard!
Even more astonishing, at this moment, he realized that as long as he was willing to expend energy, his ability to sense spatial fluctuations could be enhanced indefinitely.
And with his current chakra reserves, this ability alone could cover the entire shinobi world!
In other words, if he wanted, he could literally be in Konoha one second, and in Kumo the next!
"But exploring other worlds… requires additional energy consumption?"
Kei furrowed his brows slightly.
His own chakra reserves were already in a league of their own in the current ninja world. Even Kushina, with her perfect Nine-Tails jinchūriki form, had less chakra than him.
Yet, according to the system's transmitted knowledge, even if he fully activated Sage Mode, pinpointing a single coordinate in another world was like searching for a needle in an ocean.
This... The Ten-Tails? The Source of the Ryūmyaku? The Stone of Gelel? Moryō?
One by one, Kei's mind raced through various energy sources with immense power.
Among them, the easiest to obtain… Wasn't it the Source of the Ryūmyaku in Rōran?
