Chapter 333: Ichimaru Gin, Whose Genjutsu Resistance Is Maxed Out

As a Shinigami in soul form, he is exceptionally sensitive to the perception of his body.

The moment he purchased the Phantom Demon Snake Lineage,

he clearly felt a cold current suddenly surge into his soul body; 【99】 his constitution could isolate the cold even in the extremely frigid Dangerous Region of the White Ruins, yet at this moment, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.

A patch of gray-white snake scales the size of a fingernail spread from his neck, the pattern extending all the way to cover half of his cheek.

His right eye socket was also covered by snake scales, and the eye embedded in the center transformed into a slit pupil resembling that of a snake.

"There is no feeling of any falsehood; how is this possible?"

Ichimaru Gin covered his transformed right eye,

carefully sensing the changes in his body, and was astonished to discover that even the attributes of his soul body had undergone an earth-shattering change.

In the world of Shinigami,

a Shinigami clad in a Shihakusho is a power system derived from the soul bodies of humans after death through training and communication with their Zanpakuto.

Its essence is a mass of high-concentration Reishi lifeforms.

Changing the soul's attributes to grant it traits similar to a snake is like subverting the most core underlying rules.

Does Aizen have such an ability? "The Hogyoku, which can fulfill all wishes, might have such an ability, but if this is a simple game, Aizen would absolutely not go to such lengths..."

A sense of absurdity welled up in Ichimaru Gin's heart.

At this point in time, Aizen's plan has already reached a critical moment; Kuchiki Rukia has already lost her Shinigami Power and will soon be exposed and punished.

There is no need to create extra complications.

So... is all of this very likely real?

There is no help for it; this is the fear of being ruled by Aizen. With an ability as nearly invincible as Kyoka Suigetsu, coupled with Aizen's Reiatsu, which can be called powerful throughout the entire Soul Society, no one can escape his Genjutsu.

Just as Ichimaru Gin was thinking, the exchange of the Sharingan also began to manifest; his left eyeball began to turn scarlet, revealing a special energy with particularly obvious emotional fluctuations.

Should it be called chakra? When purchasing game items, some of the most basic information is told to the player to avoid the awkward situation of not knowing how to use them.

The Reiatsu within his body was constantly being drawn out and converted into the energy to activate the Sharingan.

"Yet another substance I cannot understand?"

Ichimaru Gin was shocked in his heart. The more a person harbors doubt, the more quickly that doubt collapses when they investigate and find that everything exceeds expectations and contains no loopholes.

He began to believe in the authenticity of the initial message in his mind.

A Samsara Game that can fulfill all wishes!

"Is this my turning point?"

The corners of Ichimaru Gin's mouth curled up—not a feigned fake smile, but a genuine, uncontrollable smile from the bottom of his heart.

Even after following by Aizen's side for hundreds of years, and even though the fire of revenge in his heart has never been extinguished, only he himself knows how low the possibility of killing Aizen actually is.

That is an extremely terrifying man!

Kyoka Suigetsu, which can fool the world, is a very troublesome Zanpakuto ability, but if placed on someone else, it would at most be a slightly stronger captain-level Shinigami.

As long as an opportunity is seized, they could be killed.

However, Aizen is different...

The terrifying ability of Kyoka Suigetsu is more like an insignificant tool when placed on him.

His own ability to fool the world seems to be above that of his Zanpakuto; with his schemes, city-dwelling, and that evil will that makes people feel fear, anyone would tremble and shudder.

He is the only anomaly to appear in the countless years since the birth of the Soul Society.

To fight such an enemy, even with an absolutely firm will, Ichimaru Gin had never considered any chance of winning; he only wanted to stake everything on one throw.

But now, the inexplicably appearing Samsara Game seems to be able to provide him with the capital to confront that terrifying man.

"Among the items from other worlds, is there a product capable of breaking Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu?"

Ichimaru Gin was excited; he indeed felt the illusion-breaking ability of the 【Phantom Demon Snake Lineage】. His snake-pupil-like right eye could release the 【Phantom Demon Eye】 skill, trapping enemies in a snake-pit illusion from which they could not extricate themselves, and it possessed extremely strong Genjutsu Resistance.

The ability of the Sharingan was slightly weaker; for now, he only felt his observational skills become more acute. Although it had Genjutsu Resistance, it was very weak.

However, according to the game's description, a One-Tomoe is the lowest-level Sharingan; if it could be upgraded to a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the Genjutsu Resistance would skyrocket.

Ichimaru Gin shook his head slightly and said: "It's just that I still need to exchange for the Uchiha Clan bloodline; otherwise, the consumption is too great. In just a few minutes, it has actually consumed Reiatsu comparable to releasing a Zanpakuto..."

He had originally thought the Reward Points from handing over his Zanpakuto would be enough for him to squander.

He didn't expect it to be consumed in mere minutes.

Of the three remaining items on the Game Shelf, two were Break Illusion Pills, which, like the 【Phantom Demon Snake Lineage】, came from the Dou Qi Continent; they were very precious Grade 3 Pill items with a very powerful illusion-breaking effect.

The last item was a Breaking Illusion Talisman from the Tian Xuan Continent; after use, one is immune to Genjutsu abilities for a period of time.

"According to the game's rules, the items on the Game Shelf refresh every week. The refresh is based on one's own abilities and wishes, as well as the props that appear due to the will of one's inner desires."

Ichimaru Gin gave a wry smile and muttered to himself: "It seems my fear of Aizen has already permeated into my soul; I really am useless..."

All five game items were related to resisting Genjutsu; his inner desire to break free from Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu was extremely strong.

Inside the 【Snow Yeti Cave】, the Frozen State of Chen Duo and Huang Feihong temporarily vanished. Before the two could speak, they saw Ichimaru Gin begin to frantically hunt the snow yetis in the depths of the cave.

For most of the snow yetis, the two could not help at all,

but some that were smaller in stature, looking like snow yetis that had failed to mutate, were intentionally avoided by Ichimaru Gin and released from the cave for the two of them.

【Low-level Snow Yeti Lv. 6】

Chen Duo's Gu poison easily finished off several low-level snow yetis,

while Huang Feihong held sharp gravel between his fingers and managed to beat two low-level snow yetis to death by relying on the Tiger-Crane Twin Form Fist.

"These are two cold-weather garments; I stripped them off some skeletons killed by snow yetis deep in the cave. If you don't mind, you can put them on."

Ichimaru Gin tossed over two old, worn-out animal skin garments.

From a distance, one could smell the stench emanating from them, and they were still stained with snow yeti fur, looking as if they had been used as a soft nest by the creatures.

Huang Feihong was not the type to be fastidious; he took the cold-weather garments and put them on.

Chen Duo also directly draped the cold-weather garment over her coat, wrapping her thin, frail-looking body.

【Bantu Cold-Resistant Clothing】: Capable of resisting the bitter cold at the edge of the White Ruins, but powerless in the deeper reaches.

"Teammates, let's continue our actions."

Ichimaru Gin's mouth curled into a slight smile as he watched the two's movements, feeling satisfied in his heart.

He had deliberately brought out the cold-resistant clothing and released the low-level Snow Trolls precisely to test the two's standards.

He needed teammates; Ichimaru Gin had previously opened the game map and discovered that the White Ruins were merely a corner of the 【Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain】, and the vast areas shrouded in fog outside it, as well as the even more expansive regions beyond the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain, even exceeded the size of the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo...

If his guess was correct, there were likely a great many players in the Samsara Game,

and there might even be all sorts of player factions.

As for Chen Duo and Huang Feihong, who had been transported into the game and became players in the same batch as him, as long as he made good use of this bond, their relationship should be more solid than with other players; although the two were very weak, according to the rules of the Samsara Game, strength was not important—what mattered was the mindset and will to quickly adapt to the rules.

If they had been killed by the low-level Snow Trolls or had turned and left because they disliked the stench of the cold-resistant clothing, he would not have cared about their lives at all.

But now, it seemed they could continue to team up.

"The White Ruins area is not suitable for me and Miss Chen Duo."

Huang Feihong had also already sensed the extraordinary nature of the Samsara Game.

His eyes were clear, and he did not think of actively clinging to Ichimaru Gin just because he was powerful; instead, he cupped his fists and said, "The areas on the edge of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain have many monsters with strength similar to the low-level Snow Trolls, which are more suitable for us to level up."

"It would be fine to act together again after we have become stronger."

Huang Feihong's thoughts were the same as Ichimaru Gin's; as players transported in the same batch, there would likely be many opportunities for interaction in the future, but not now.

"Interesting human."

Ichimaru Gin was surprised in his heart; to think he would actively give up being protected by a Shinigami like himself—it seemed the other party's mindset and will were far stronger than he had imagined.

Since they had already added each other as friends, Ichimaru Gin did not stop him.

He continued to hunt for corruption in the White Ruins until he was killed by a Fallen Asura named 【Bao Yan Li Ge Ha Wen】, only to revive in the nearest Safe Zone, 【Stone City】.
