“Shoot to kill, Kamishini no Yari!”
Clang!
The wakizashi-style short blade in Lord Carl’s hand suddenly burst into a dazzling blade light.
A flash of cold light instantly pierced through the air, carrying a heart-palpitating sharpness, and swept across hundreds of meters of space at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
Boom——
Wherever the blade light passed, the concrete ground of the entire street and the storefronts on both sides were all split in half!
The six Hollows lined up in a row didn’t even have time to react before they were cut in half at the waist by that extremely fast and incomparably sharp blade light!
Pfft!
Fresh blood surged like a fountain, splashing high into the air, and then fell like a rainstorm, staining the entire street red.
“Ah la~”
Lord Carl sheathed his blade, looked at the massive destruction he had caused, and calmly said, “Sorry, I used a little too much force.”
“Gulp!”
Jack swallowed hard, a trace of panic involuntarily rising in his heart.
What happened tonight far exceeded his imagination, and even caused the worldview he had built over more than twenty years to collapse!
It turns out…
There really is a ‘God’ in this World!
When Jack recovered his senses, he found that the mysterious man was gone, disappearing silently just like when he came!
“It’s over…”
Jack collapsed and lay on the ground, staring blankly at the street with lifeless eyes.
Queens.
In front of an unknown grocery store, Lord Carl suddenly appeared, reached out to push open the shabby wooden door, and slowly stepped inside.
Although this grocery store was not large and usually didn’t get many visitors, its advantage lay in its hidden location, making it his only foothold in this strange World.
Arriving behind the counter in the store, on a long bench lay a ‘corpse’ that looked almost identical to Lord Carl.
This is a gigai.
In his Shinigami state, Lord Carl usually could not be seen by humans, nor could he communicate normally with society.
As a vessel for the Soul, a gigai allows a Shinigami to disguise as a human and act in the Human World, making it an indispensable and important item!
“Hoo…”
After entering the gigai, Lord Carl stretched lazily, lying on the long bench and letting out a sigh of relief.
Although he had transmigrated to Marvel and become a Shinigami for over a year, he still somewhat missed the days when he had a Physical Body.
In the state of a Soul, Lord Carl had no way to enjoy delicious food.
After all, this is the Marvel Universe, lacking Soul Society and the Research and Development Bureau!
This gigai was not made by him, but came from his Golden Finger — the Soul King Training System!
Speaking of this System, it was actually a Shinigami mobile game Lord Carl played in his previous life.
After following him to the Marvel Universe, for some unknown reason, it turned into a System.
The function of this so-called Soul King Training System was actually very simple, roughly divided into three parts: gacha, shop, and quests.
The first is the lottery.
As the name implies, no excessive explanation is needed; everyone understands pay-to-win mobile games, except that this System requires paying with Souls!
For example, transcending those dead Souls, or slaying fallen Hollows like today, can both yield Souls, which are then divided into upper, middle, and lower tiers based on their quality.
The second is the shop.
The System opens a special shop every month, where Souls can be used to purchase some rare items, Zanpakuto, or even characters from the original work!
The third is quests.
The System will irregularly release some quests.
Depending on one’s own situation and difficulty level, one can decide whether to accept the quest, and upon completion, rich rewards can be obtained!
Take Kamishini no Yari for example.
It was actually the Zanpakuto rewarded to him after completing the quest ‘Awakening of the Shinigami’ when he first Transmigrated a year ago!
All in all!
This System is very realistic.
If you want to become stronger, you can only collect ‘Souls’, regardless of good or evil, only looking at quality!
Souls are just a currency!
Lord Carl rubbed his temples and said, “One thousand lower-tier Souls have finally been gathered. Give me a ten-pull to test the waters!”
This was the fortune he had accumulated after working hard for a full month, slaying Hollows and transcending Souls everywhere!
“Detected possession of lower-tier Soul * 1000. Do you want to open the shop lottery?”
“Yes!”
As the familiar interface opened, Kisuke Urahara walked out with a wretched smile.
Yes, Kisuke Urahara!
There are three gacha pools in this mobile game, corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower tier Soul currencies respectively.
And this guy Kisuke Urahara is in charge of the lower-tier Soul currency pool!
Lord Carl has reason to suspect that the producer of that mobile game definitely added personal bias, otherwise why choose an old uncle?
Aren’t cute girls better?!
Complaining aside, Lord Carl was still very much looking forward to this lottery.
After all several months apart, gathering one thousand Souls was truly not easy!
“Please!”
Lord Carl put his hands together and prayed with his eyes closed: “Give me something powerful!”
Clang!
Accompanied by a flash of golden light, ten illusory and transparent cards emerged on Lord Carl’s retina.
“White – Lower-Tier Spiritual Power Orb * 5
Blue – Hakuda Experience Book * 1
Blue – Kendo Experience Book * 1
Purple – Shunpo Skill Book: Utsusemi
Purple – Kendo Skill Book: Kenatsu
White – Shinigami Women’s Association Issue 125 Summer Swimsuit Magazine
Purple – Hakuda Skill Book: Ikkotsu
Golden – Hōgyoku (Broken Fragment 5 / 10000)
Golden – Kisuke Urahara’s Playground (Choose an address to release, gain a secret space, comes with a healing hot spring)
Golden – Zanpakuto: Senbonzakura (Shikai)”
Three Golds and three Purples!
Lord Carl’s breathing suddenly became rapid, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe that he actually pulled this out!
Needless to say about Senbonzakura, Kuchiki Byakuya’s Zanpakuto, its aura and gorgeousness are directly maxed out!
Besides the Zanpakuto, what made Lord Carl most happy among these was actually ‘Kisuke Urahara’s Playground’!
In the original work, that training ground in Soul Society used by Kurosaki ichigo and Yoruichi was originally built together by Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi.
Not only was it secretive and hard to discover, but it also had a huge range and a healing hot spring, which happened to be what Lord Carl needed most right now!
As for the Hōgyoku fragment?
Lord Carl couldn’t even be bothered to care about it.
This thing is rare, but the key is that it’s too hard to collect—a full ten thousand fragments, who knows when they’ll ever be gathered.
The other items were also good; the three skill books could just make up for his problem of having few skills.
The worst was the ‘Lower-Tier Spiritual Power Orb’.
With his current strength, swallowing it would result in a negligible increase in spiritual power.
What?
You say the Women’s Association Issue 125 Summer Swimsuit Magazine?
Although he felt a bit embarrassed, Lord Carl thought that magazine was pretty good.
It contained swimsuit photos of all the female Shinigami, which was an absolute massive profit, okay!
This ten-pull made a huge profit!
Lord Carl said impatiently, “System, check personal information.”
