Chapter 239: Redeeming a Character, One Thought Becomes a Demon, One Thought Becomes a Buddha

Recalling Kamikawa Chie of that day, Kamikawa Mitsu did not notice the smile hanging on his face.

Chie, as long as I am still alive for one day, I will not let any invasion from another world succeed.

In this life, people move forward for all kinds of reasons—some for money, some for power, some for women. As for Sichuan respects living this life, his driving force is Kamikawa Chie, his friends; he must hold up a sky of peace and tranquility for them.

After Kamikawa Mitsu finished making dinner.

Ding! Video uploaded, popularity assessment, score 98.

Ding! Script complete, score 97, video popularity score 97, comprehensive rating A+, Host obtains seven hundred thousand script points.

The cold system notification tone echoed in his mind.

"The Quetzalcoatl script has been credited." Kamikawa Mitsu muttered to himself, looking at the script column on the system panel.

Nearly six million nine hundred thousand script points!

Having gone through assisting the Void Demon Realm, and Quetzalcoatl entering the Eastern Immortal Realm, the previous time shocking Earth, the Void Demon Realm, and the Erosion Realm brought Kamikawa Mitsu enormous gains, and aside from the expenditure on the Tsukuyomi deity, that time was actually not costly.

It was nothing more than projecting images to the whole world, and killing Erosion-realm beings whose strongest was only one step away from deity-level. Compared to the gains Kamikawa Mitsu obtained, the expenditure was a drop in the bucket.

This time the Quetzalcoatl script added another seven hundred thousand points, and combined with the six hundred thousand script points earned before, after additions and subtractions, Kamikawa Mitsu had accumulated script points up to six million nine hundred thousand.

To this, Kamikawa Mitsu was not surprised in the slightest.

The Erosion Realm and the Void Demon Realm brought tremendous shock to the beings of two worlds—how could the script score not be high.

Through the system's scoring judgments across completed scripts one after another, Kamikawa Mitsu gained a deeper understanding. Although the scores all seemed to be above 90+, the script points obtained were sometimes different.

The reason lies in the grand scale of the script's setting—judged by the characters included, the number of people, the strength, and the world level.

For example, completing a script on Earth with a score of 95 might yield only a few hundred thousand script points.

But if a script is completed on Earth and the Erosion Realm with a score of 95, the script points obtained would not be a few hundred thousand but several million. The Erosion Realm's vast number of beings and their powerful strength cannot be compared to Earth's, so naturally the script points obtained are greater.

"Six million nine hundred thousand is enough to redeem a character."

Kamikawa Mitsu opened the script panel and examined the characters one by one.

Each time a system-triggered script is completed, the system characters do not say that once the next script is triggered the previous script's character disappears—characters are permanently retained, and unless you redeem them away, they will not disappear.

Scanning through the characters one by one, Kamikawa Mitsu finally fixed his gaze on two characters.

【Master Konghai】, 【Tsukuyomi Deity】, 【Lord Cimu】

These are the three uniquely powerful characters among the system-triggered scripts so far.

Kamikawa Mitsu looked toward the character 【Lord Cimu】.

One could see that the information content for the character 【Lord Cimu】 was very complete. One must know that when the 【Lord Cimu】 character was born during the Yunhu Incident, much of its information was blank, but now the information had been filled in completely.

Suddenly, as Kamikawa Mitsu continuously refined the settings for the supernatural, yokai, and deities, the system would accordingly keep improving the character information.

After reviewing the 【Lord Cimu】 information supplemented by the system, Kamikawa Mitsu immediately shifted his gaze away.

"I have already redeemed Great Nyūdō for yokai. Redeeming Lord Cimu would only yield an increase in strength and combat power, but the racial talent would be duplicated—there's not much point."

Ever since Kamikawa Mitsu redeemed 【Great Nyūdō】 and then redeemed 【Sai-shu】, the yokai energy and Void Demon power's racial talents fused, causing his combat power, strength, and potential to receive significant improvement, surpassing the redeemed character 【Sai-shu】.

Having tasted the sweetness, how could Kamikawa Mitsu possibly let it go at that.

Therefore he did not plan to consider 【Lord Cimu】 for this yokai energy; he wanted to redeem more races and fuse more racial talents.

This was a good method to rapidly improve strength, combat power, potential, and other aspects.

"Master Konghai's talent is Buddha power, Tsukuyomi Deity is divine power…"

Considering that Master Konghai's strength was inferior to the Tsukuyomi Deity, and that he already possessed yokai energy, deities and demons are inherently opposed—combining the racial talents of the two, he did not know what kind of spark might fly.

"The power of gods and demons—somewhat looking forward to it."

Thinking of fusing divine power with yokai energy, Kamikawa Mitsu felt greatly interested and spoke:

"System, consume script points. I want to redeem the character 'Tsukuyomi Deity'."

Ding! Consuming script points, redeeming character 'Tsukuyomi Deity'.

Ding! Host's script points are insufficient to redeem the character 'Tsukuyomi Deity'.

Kamikawa Mitsu: "…"

He could not help but look toward the script character column, at the strength of the character 【Tsukuyomi Deity】.

An oversight—the stronger the character, the more script points required for redemption, and it increases geometrically.

"Should have set up a weaker character." Kamikawa Mitsu said helplessly, his thoughts murmuring: "Next script, set up more characters, raise them step by step, or save up more script points."

Then Kamikawa Mitsu settled for the next best thing and redeemed Master Konghai.

This time, Kamikawa Mitsu was not afraid of failing to redeem the character, because earlier when he obtained Master Konghai, he did not choose to redeem Master Konghai but redeemed Sai-shu instead—it was because the script points needed to redeem Master Konghai were insufficient.

For this reason, after Kamikawa Mitsu finished redeeming Sai-shu, he had spent script points to ask the system how many script points redeeming Master Konghai would require, and the system answered five million script points.

This was also why Kamikawa Mitsu, upon obtaining six million nine hundred thousand script points, felt he had enough to redeem a character.

Ding! Consuming script points, redeeming character 'Master Konghai'.

Ding! Consuming three hundred 【thousand】 points, redeeming character Master Konghai.

A surging power swept through.

Boundless Buddhist light rose on Kamikawa Mitsu's body surface, a sacred Buddhist halo appeared behind his head, and faintly vast Buddhist chants reverberated around him, as if three thousand buddhas and bodhisattvas were reciting sutras—great compassion and great mercy, all manner of sacred Buddhist teachings swirling, capable of washing away all sins of the world.

"So this is Buddha power? Feels like the whole person has become much purer."

In his words, Kamikawa Mitsu raised his palm blooming with boundless Buddhist light, precious radiance shining, imbued with Buddhist dharma and Zen meaning, and could not help but murmur.

"If I struck a rapist with this palm, they'd probably turn into a sexual coldness directly."

The next moment.

The boundless Buddhist light transformed, the precious radiance blazing and resplendent, yet carrying a streak of evil nature.

If just now Kamikawa Mitsu was a buddha-deity, then now Kamikawa Mitsu was a demon-buddha.

Evil-natured compassion, within the smile of great compassion and great mercy lurked a dagger behind the smile—a fallen buddha, a dark buddha, bringing not the Western Pure Land, not the washing away of sins, but karmic fire upon the body, sentient beings trapped in the pagoda, the red lotus karmic fire burning oneself.

This was the demonic qi produced by the fusion of Kamikawa Mitsu's yokai energy and Void Demon power merging with Buddha power, undergoing a transformation into a power resembling buddha, demon, and yokai.

A monster becomes a Buddha, then becomes a demon.

One thought makes a demon, one thought makes a Buddha.

Kamikawa Mitsu gave this power of his a simple, easy-to-understand interpretation.

"But… why does it cost three million script points to use, not five million?"

After checking the changes in the power within his body, Kamikawa Mitsu could not help but feel puzzled.
