Chapter 67: Two-Person Task

"Why are these goods so expensive..." Orochimaru muttered in disbelief.

Orochimaru's finger lightly tapped on the "Saiyan Bloodline" option, his gaze quickly scanning every line of text, the shock in his eyes growing heavier.

【Bloodline: Saiyan Bloodline】

【Origin: Dragon Ball】

【Rank: Nine-Star】

【Introduction: Saiyans are one of the most powerful fighting races in the universe. After obtaining Saiyan Bloodline, the user will gain near-infinite combat potential.

The base strength of Saiyans far exceeds ordinary humans; after awakening, they can easily destroy planets. Every time they struggle on the brink of life and death, their strength increases geometrically. And their lifespan far exceeds humans, able to maintain peak condition for hundreds of years.】

【Drawback: A Saiyan's tail is their weakness; if grabbed or cut off, it will cause a significant drop in strength, and they will be unable to move freely in space.

During a full moon, untrained Saiyans may transform into Great Apes, losing their reason.】

【Exchange Points: 2500000】

【Note: Immediately gain the ability to transform into Super Saiyan Stage One after exchange】

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly, and he whispered, "Nine-Star rank, the level of Super Saiyan Stage One."

Orochimaru's finger lightly slid and opened the "Saiyan Transformation Demonstration" option.

In an instant, a shocking scene unfolded in his mind.

A powerhouse with golden hair standing on end, wrapped in golden aura, floated in the universe.

He emanated an oppressive feeling that made one breathless; just looking at him, Orochimaru felt a suffocating sensation.

The next moment, this Super Saiyan suddenly raised his hand, and a dazzling energy beam shot out from his palm.

The beam crossed the galaxy and instantly struck a planet in the distance. That planet, comparable in size to the Ninja World, burst apart upon touching the beam, turning into countless fragments scattered across the universe.

But this was not over. The Super Saiyan waved both hands quickly, and countless energy bullets poured down like raindrops.

Orochimaru stared fixedly at the scene before him; every energy bullet precisely struck a planet, shattering it instantly. In the blink of an eye, the entire galaxy turned into nothingness, as if it had never existed.

"How... how is this possible"

Orochimaru widened his eyes, full of disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.

"This... simply transcends imagination. To destroy an entire galaxy by oneself—this is already a realm that ninjutsu cannot reach." His voice carried a hint of shock he could not conceal.

This power, even if he could grasp even a trace of it, he could completely change the landscape of the entire Ninja World.

Orochimaru took a deep breath, striving to calm his inner fluctuations; his gaze moved away from the Saiyan Bloodline introduction and continued to view other goods in the Mysterious Shop.

【Item: Power Stone】

【Origin: MCU Universe】

【Rank: Nine-Star】

【Introduction: One of the six Infinity Stones, representing one of the six primordial laws of the world, the embodiment of the Power Law, containing the energy of the entire universe. The holder can enhance their own strength, control all forms of energy, and easily destroy an entire planet.

When all six Infinity Stones are gathered, they will become a tool to fulfill wishes; with just a thought, one can change the fate of the entire universe.】

【Exchange Points: 2300000】

"Primordial laws?" Orochimaru muttered, his voice full of disbelief. "A single stone actually grasps the basic laws of the universe?"

At this moment, a fanatical light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

"This has transcended the concept of mere power, but directly touches the essence of the world."

For so many years, he pursued the limits of ninjutsu and explored the secrets of life, all to unveil the ultimate truth of the world.

And now, a stone representing the primordial laws of the world was plainly displayed before him; as long as his points were sufficient, he could exchange it directly.

At this moment, the shock brought by the Saiyan Bloodline had been cast to the back of his mind.

Compared to mere power enhancement, mastering the laws of the universe is the true path to eternity; this Infinity Stone's attraction to him far exceeded that of the Saiyan Bloodline.

"There actually exists such a powerful world, capable of embodying the laws of the world into physical entities." He whispered, his voice full of disbelief.

He scanned the dazzling list of goods. Behind every item seemed to lie a brand-new universe, a power system beyond imagination.

"And the Main God Space... actually able to cross countless worlds, gathering so many incredible powers." He said softly, his voice filled with deep shock: "Just how powerful is the Main God's might?"

"If I hadn't joined the Main God Space, I'm afraid I could never imagine this level of power in this lifetime." Orochimaru whispered, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Let alone one day being able to touch it."

"But, millions of points..." Orochimaru said softly, his tone full of complex emotions. He quickly calculated his current accumulation; compared to this astronomical figure, the points in his hand were truly pitifully few.

Finally, Orochimaru opened 【Magneto Gene】.

【The holder will possess the ability to manipulate one of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism. Can control all metallic substances, create powerful magnetic barriers, and even directly move a planet. As the ability improves, they may influence subatomic particles and manipulate electromagnetic waves in the spectrum.】

After reading the introduction, Orochimaru exhaled softly.

Under the impact of the Saiyan Bloodline and the Infinity Stone, although the Magneto Gene was already powerful enough, he felt it was somewhat bland.

However, concepts mentioned in the introduction such as "the four fundamental forces" and "subatomic particles" caught his attention.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then sighed lightly. His fingertip paused for an instant on the "Refresh" button, but ultimately he pressed it lightly.

Light flashed, and the shop interface changed instantly. Orochimaru's gaze quickly swept over the newly appearing goods, and a glimmer of brightness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"This is somewhat interesting." He whispered, the corners of his mouth slightly curving up.

In the new list, several options caught his attention. Although the prices of these goods were not low, they were within his capabilities.

【Sun Breathing: 10000 points】

【Storm Crimson: 35000 points】

Just as he continued browsing, a commodity suddenly caught his attention. Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly, and a meaningful smile curved his lips.

"This one." He whispered, a glint flashing in his eyes, "Perhaps it can serve as a trump card."

Without the slightest hesitation, Orochimaru decisively chose this item, and then a Light Sphere appeared in Orochimaru's hand.

Just as Orochimaru put it away, the Main God's voice rang out again:

【Task is about to begin, 5, 4, 3...】

As the countdown ended, Orochimaru's vision suddenly plunged into darkness.

………………

The sea breeze mixed with a salty, fishy scent rushed toward him, and Orochimaru subconsciously opened his eyes, finding himself standing on a huge reef, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue sea.

"Looks like this mission world is still at sea," Orochimaru murmured softly, his gaze sweeping over the rolling waves around him.

Just as Orochimaru was preparing to carefully observe his surroundings, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Orochimaru? How are you here?"

He turned around and saw Uchiha Fugaku standing at the other end of the reef, surprise on his face.

The two locked eyes for a moment, both seeing an unusual look in the other's eyes.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Fugaku, I didn't expect you to be a Reincarnator too. What a surprising delight."

Fugaku frowned and quickly walked to Orochimaru's side: "You being one does explain why your performance on the battlefield has been getting better and better lately."

Orochimaru leaned slightly and said: "Since we're in the same task, let's not hide things from each other. How about exchanging the information we have?"

Fugaku pondered for a moment and asked directly: "How many reincarnations have you been through?"

"This is the second time," Orochimaru admitted, but his tone carried a probe: "And you?"

"The same," Fugaku nodded: "And previously I acted alone on tasks, never expecting this time to be a two-person cooperation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru seemed to notice something amiss, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Strange," Orochimaru said softly, "why hasn't the Main God issued the Main Quest?"

Hearing this, Fugaku showed a look of sudden understanding. He shook his head slightly and said: "There's no need to worry too much; sometimes the Main Quest isn't issued immediately."

He paused, then continued explaining: "It might require us to trigger certain conditions. In the last task, I only received the Main Quest under specific circumstances."

Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment, he slowly spoke in a low voice: "It seems we need to first figure out where we are, and after clarifying the situation, decide on our next move."

He paused, his tone suddenly turning serious: "But one thing is certain: the Main God wouldn't have us join forces for no reason. This task is probably far more troublesome than before."
