Chapter 185

【Treatment successful, 1000 Reward Points deducted】

The Main God's voice sounded, and Madara slowly opened his eyes; the familiar giant Light Sphere still floated in the air, emitting a gentle light.

"Crack."

Madara raised his right hand and clenched his Fist; his injuries had already healed, but at this moment he did not have the usual joy after battle.

Because this battle had given him too great a shock.

The black dragon's final Roar seemed to still echo in his ears; that sound was not merely a beast's howl, but human speech carrying distinct Anger and killing intent.

"I see, so that beast can speak..." Madara's gaze was gloomy, an unprecedented sense of humiliation surging in his heart: "No wonder that look before... always looking down from above, was it because it didn't even deign to speak?"

Just like when he faced ordinary ninja in the Ninja World, he wouldn't even give them a proper glance, but now he had become the one being ignored.

"Heh"

Madara suddenly let out a cold laugh, the laughter full of self-mockery: "So this is what it feels like to be treated like an ant."

"Truly... infuriating."

Ever since Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had always stood at the pinnacle of the Ninja World; even his confrontations with Hashirama Senju were evenly matched, needlepoint against wheat awn battles.

But this time was different; that black dragon's strength far exceeded his understanding.

Uchiha Madara felt such a massive gap for the first time.

The Spriggan 12, those so-called elite Mages, were merely appetizers.

But afterwards Ailin and Oujiyasi·Aosite, those two guys' strength was already beyond his expectations; finally that black dragon Madara subconsciously touched his chest; although the injuries had been healed, the intense pain of the dragon Claw tearing flesh seemed to still remain on his body.

Thinking of this, Madara's gaze became increasingly sharp; if a Seven Rank World already had existences of this level, then what would Eight Rank and Nine Rank worlds be like? Just like that black dragon, not even deigning to speak, Cold Light flashed in Madara's eyes; he did not want to experience this humiliation a second time.

"Akirunolujia..." he pronounced this name word by word, killing intent almost materializing: "I remember you. One day, I will make you understand what true power is."

At This Moment, the floating Light Sphere emitted a soft light, and a Virtual Screen slowly unfolded before him.

【World: Fairy Tail】

【Type: Fantasy】

【Level: World Level Seven】

【Mission Rating: A+】

Main Mission Completed: 【Magic Power Shackles】 Reward Points: 25000 Mission Rating: "You successfully destroyed all Magic Power Nodes, and in the process triggered a large-scale battle, causing severe damage to the Imperial Capital. The world's magic system will undergo drastic changes because of this."

Side Quest:

【Twelve Shield Hunter】: 97000 Reward Points

"You successfully killed five Spriggan 12 members in battle. The power they prided themselves on was powerless before you."

【Destroy Capital】: 24000 Reward Points

"In a world-shaking battle, you nearly leveled the entire Imperial Capital. The Empire's symbol of power turned into Ruins in your hands."

【Terrain Reshaper】: 15000 Reward Points "Your power reshaped half a planet's terrain; the world changed because of you. This achievement is enough to be remembered forever by the world."

…………

"161000 points." Madara silently calculated the total; this number made even him somewhat surprised.

Previously completing missions, gaining forty or fifty thousand Reward Points was already quite good, but this time it actually broke through one hundred sixty thousand.

Among them the 【Twelve Shield Hunter】 reward was the most generous; this single item alone had 73000 points.

The Reward gained from killing five Spriggan 12 members was even much higher than a typical Main Quest.

It seems if one wants to obtain more points, one must Plunder and Destroy, but one must grasp the proper measure, ensuring one can complete the Main Quest at all times is the key.

This mission could have been finished right at the start of the battle, but he indulged in combat and instead attracted stronger opponents; it seems in future missions, one must prioritize completing the mission.

Madara looked up at the Light Sphere: "These points are enough for me to improve my strength considerably."

Madara's finger lightly tapped in the void, and the shop interface immediately unfolded; countless product information poured down like a waterfall, densely covering the entire interface.

"So many" Madara frowned slightly; the quantity of these products was nearly a hundred times more than before, and most of them were various kinds of Magic.

Actually, these newly added Magic in the shop were mainly thanks to Oujiyasi·Aosite the Magic King; as a Grand Mage who had survived for over a hundred years, he had mastered almost all Magic from ancient times to the present.

At this moment all these Magic had been scanned by the Main God and recorded into the shop.

Uchiha Madara lightly swiped the interface.

Suddenly, a crystal emitting a dim blue light caught his Attention; Madara narrowed his eyes and opened the detailed information:

【Item: Sea King Dragon Dragon Slayer Magic Magic Crystal】

【Origin: Fairy Tail】

【Level: Six-Star】

【Introduction: In ancient times, the dragon clan condensed their own power into crystals to cultivate human guardians. After implanting it into the body, the user will learn Sea King Dragon Dragon Slayer Magic, an ancient magic that gradually transforms the body's constitution into a dragon constitution.

Not only can it control the power of water, but it can also Devour and absorb water in any form to strengthen itself, restore stamina; after forcibly absorbing other Magic Power successfully, it can increase one's own Magic Power attribute.】

【Drawback: After Awakening dragon power, the user will develop extreme rejection towards any moving vehicle; merely stepping onto a moving object will cause intense vertigo.

And with the use of Dragon Slayer Magic, one will gradually lose humanity, develop strong violent tendencies, the body will gradually undergo Dragonification, and ultimately forever lose human form.】

【Price: 160000 Reward Points】

Uchiha Madara's finger stopped on that dim blue crystal's introduction, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Turn into a dragon? Rejection towards moving objects?" he murmured to himself, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, a scene emerged in his mind — the moment that black dragon was bound by the Gedo Mazo, its abnormal reaction had made him feel suspicious at the time. That sudden vertigo didn't seem like it was caused by the Chains binding it.

"So, Akirunolujia is also a Dragon Slayer Mage?" Madara's gaze became sharp, "Can the upper limit of Dragon Slayer Magic reach such heights?"

But very quickly he shook his head again; if it were merely like this, this crystal couldn't possibly be just a Six-Star item; the strength the black dragon displayed far exceeded the scope of this level; it should at least be World Level Seven standard.

"Besides the initial stage, it should have broken through the limit through some method, Growing to that level..."

Madara raised his head, looking again at that crystal's introduction; a Six-Star level item indeed had its value, but for the current him, this was not the optimal choice.

The price of completely losing human form was a bit too expensive; on top of that, many of his abilities could not be used, not to mention in many missions such a huge body would only become a target.

Madara's fingers swept through the void, and the information of countless goods flew past before his eyes. 【High-Level Attachment Magic】: 180000 Exchange Points.

【Introduction: A magic that can attach any magic to any object; this magic requires an extremely vast amount of magic power to drive】 【Time Magic】: 160000 Exchange Points 【Introduction: A magic that can manipulate time and strike through time】

…………

He continued scrolling down, the introductions of various magics flashing by one after another — Space Magic, Elemental Magic. These seemingly powerful magics all shared a common problem.

Most of them required sufficient magic power to drive in order to exert their might; although exchanging for the goods would grant a certain level of magic power, it obviously would not reach the original owner's level.

To achieve the ideal effect, one would still need to cultivate, or purchase additional magic power enhancement — clearly not worth the cost.

Moreover, the casting methods of these magics were completely different from his accustomed combat style; having to re-adapt to an entirely new way of fighting — this price was simply too great.

Suddenly, Madara's movement paused. He raised his head to look at the floating Light Sphere, a trace of contemplation flashing in his eyes: "Main God, can you modify goods according to my wishes?"

【Insufficient Permission, unable to answer】

The cold mechanical voice made Madara frown: "How to increase Permission?"

【Execute Tasks】

"Heh." Madara sneered. This kind of ambiguous answer was the same as saying nothing, but he was also used to the Main God's way of speaking.

The next second, Madara's finger tapped lightly in the void, and the interface instantly Switched.

The Fairy Tail World's magic goods vanished in an instant, replaced by the One Piece World's ability list.

"As expected, this side is more suitable."

The One Piece World's abilities mostly rely on physical strength to drive, requiring no additional energy system for support.

Furthermore, these abilities are mostly used for close combat, and can Coordinate with his Susanoo, perfectly fitting his combat style.

Before long, Uchiha Madara's gaze stopped on a certain good.

【Skill: Top-Level Observation Haki】

【Introduction: A life energy perception skill, able to foresee danger, perceive the enemy's location and movements; after Exchange, gain Admiral-level Observation Haki perception ability.

And depending on the user's talent and constitution, may Awaken special abilities. For example: Voice of All Things, foreseeing future scenes, or directly reading others' thoughts.】

【Price: 100000 Reward Points】

Madara murmured softly: "The Sharingan sees movements that have already occurred, while Observation Haki can predict attacks that have not yet happened."

"And Observation Haki requires no extra energy, driven entirely by Spiritual Power, with extremely high compatibility with chakra."

And Uchiha Madara was confident that with his talent, he would inevitably Awaken a special ability; if he could obtain a mind-reading or precognition-type ability, it would be of enormous help for future Tasks.

"It's decided, this one." Uchiha Madara clicked the Exchange button.

【Confirm Exchange Top-Level Observation Haki, deduct 100000 Reward Points】

A wondrous energy suddenly surged into Madara's body; everything around him seemed to become different — the flow of air, even his own heartbeat, all became so clear.

Madara closed his eyes, sensing this newly gained power, a smile surfacing at the corner of his mouth: "This feeling... not bad."

Madara opened his eyes, scanning the empty Main God Space. There were no other life forms here, unable to test the specific effects of Observation Haki; he could only wait until returning to the Ninja World to test.

He continued browsing the goods list, and before long found another target.

【Skill: Top-Level Armament Haki】

【Introduction: An advanced defense and attack technique from the One Piece World; the user can cover the body surface with a layer of armor, not only able to block Physical Attacks, but also resist Devil Fruit abilities; after Exchange, gain Vice Admiral-level Armament Haki rank.

Internal Destruction: Infiltrate Haki into the enemy's body, directly destroying the opponent's body tissues from the inside.】

【Price: 100000 Reward Points】

【Detected Reincarnator already possesses Intermediate Armament Haki, price adjusted to: 83000 Reward Points】

"Internal Destruction." Madara recalled the Black Dragon's dragon scales; blades slashing onto them could hardly cause a shred of damage.

"Infiltrate Haki into the interior of the dragon scales, then combine with the Gura Gura no Mi's ability." A flash of killing intent crossed Madara's eyes. "Detonate directly from the inside — even that level of defense should have some reaction."

He glanced at the price; because he had already mastered Intermediate Armament Haki, the price had dropped considerably. This degree of discount was within his expectations — after all, this also counted as a kind of upgrade.

Without the slightest Hesitation, Madara directly chose to Exchange.

【Confirm Exchange Top-Level Armament Haki, deduct 83000 Reward Points】

In an instant, a heavy power surged into his body.

Madara clenched his Fist, able to feel an invisible power flowing across the surface of his Skin.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to him, but compared to the previous Intermediate Armament Haki, the current power was obviously much stronger.

Madara glanced at his remaining Reward Points — less than ten thousand points, already unable to Exchange for anything of value; this trip's gains had already exceeded expectations.

Madara looked up at the Light Sphere, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Before the next Task begins, it is time to finish the plan."

Only one final step remained from success — gather the Tailed Beasts, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi at the same time; this was the true key that could let him cross into a higher level.

"Main God, return!"

Light flashed, and Uchiha Madara's consciousness was pulled into a stretch of darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the Land of Waterfalls' Ground in the Ninja World.

Madara stood in place, sensing the two newly gained powers within his body. Haki and chakra were fusing perfectly, bringing an unprecedented feeling.

"Rustle."

The Ground suddenly surged, a mass of pitch-black substance slowly emerged, finally coalescing into Black Zetsu's form.

"Madara-sama, you have returned." Black Zetsu lowered his head, his hoarse voice carrying a trace of respect. "Regarding the Five Kage Summit intelligence, I have already—"

Right at this moment, Madara's eyes shifted slightly: Perfect, use Black Zetsu to test the ability.

Instantly, Observation Haki spread out like a Ripple.

Suddenly, a vague voice suddenly rang out in Madara's mind — it was precisely Black Zetsu's voice.

"... Seems to have become stronger... the plan"

Not only that, a faint trace of malice also transmitted over — a deep, soul-rooted malice, forming a stark contrast with Black Zetsu's surface respect.

"This is!" Madara's Pupil abruptly contracted, his heart surging with shock.

His gaze toward Black Zetsu turned sharp in an instant—this Existence he had always believed to be an extension of his own will actually bore malice toward him?
