(Part 2) 22: Chapter 11: Acquiring the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, A Shady Reincarnation Space!
(Part 2) Not bad at all.
Alex nodded slightly to himself.
This trip had been incredibly fruitful.
Not only had his overall strength directly increased by ten percent, but he had also acquired lightning manipulation abilities.
With this, he had a much higher chance of breaking free from Athena’s control.
‘Return to the Reincarnation Space!’ he commanded in his mind.
Instantly, his figure dissolved into pure light, shooting into the clouds and vanishing without a trace.
Upon returning, he found himself back in that plain white room.
The Reincarnation Space’s cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[World Hunter 003 has successfully executed a Fallen Reincarnator and repaired the world’s timeline.
Reward: One Origin Crystal!] An Origin Crystal?
What is that used for?
The Reincarnation Space promptly provided an explanation.
[The Origin Crystal is a precious material granted by the World Will as feedback when a Hunter repairs a Reincarnation World.] [It can be used to exchange for God-tier talents, serve as breakthrough material for Legendary equipment, enhance or repair Legendary Epic Artifacts, or upgrade Reincarnation Talent levels!] [Soul-bound.
Cannot be traded.
Cannot be sold!] Alex grasped the diamond-shaped crystal that materialized out of thin air before him.
It looked as though an entire galaxy was swirling within its depths.
This little stone seemed vastly more valuable than mere Credit Points.
He glanced at the 1.2 million Credit Points sitting in his account and mentally probed, ‘Reincarnation Space, show me the exchangeable items.’ Three holographic windows instantly popped up, labeled: Items, Training Methods, and Bloodlines and Genetics.
Opening the Items tab, an endless stream of icons began scrolling by.
A rough estimate suggested there were over two million distinct items, ranging from a basic medical kit for 50 Credit Points to a Time Reversal Hourglass worth 10 million Credit Points.
They had absolutely everything.
The higher the grade of the item, the more astronomical the price.
The Health Potion he had borrowed from that Reincarnator in the One Piece world only cost 100 Credit Points.
He went ahead and bought ten of them.
While he might not need them himself, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t run into a situation like the Paramount War again.
Every Reincarnator was granted a private dimensional storage space by the Reincarnation Space.
While an ordinary Reincarnator only had ten slots, Alex’s space was slightly larger—he had one thousand slots.
First, Alex mailed two potions to the Reincarnator with the ID 10200981xxd.
Returning two for the one he borrowed seemed like a fair deal.
He tossed the remaining eight potions into his own storage grid.
With his remaining one-million-plus Credit Points, he could just barely afford a lesser Time Hourglass.
[Time Hourglass: Single-use consumable item.
Reverts the user’s personal physical state to exactly ten seconds prior!] [Cost: 1,000,000 Credit Points] Alex didn’t need recovery items for the time being, so he switched his focus to the training Methods tab.
It offered everything from low-level techniques like Basic Martial Arts and Sword Mastery, all the way up to Chakra training and Haki Training.
Generally speaking, training methods were at least ten times more expensive than consumable items.
Basic Unarmed Combat cost 200 Credit Points, but premium methods like Chakra or Haki training were priced at a staggering 2 million Credit Points each.
Cursing the Reincarnation Space for being a greedy, black-hearted merchant, Alex clicked over to the Bloodlines and Genetics tab.
Bloodlines were equally exorbitant.
Low-tier options like Werewolf or Vampire bloodlines started at 200,000 points.
High-tier ones, like Angel or Demon bloodlines, started at a cool one million.
Browsing through the Mythical Bloodlines, Alex even spotted the Saiyan Bloodline—with a jaw-dropping price tag of 200 million Credit Points!
The main advantage of bloodlines over training methods was that they granted innate abilities the moment they were injected, bypassing the need for grueling training.
Of course, something like the Saiyan Bloodline was only a starting point; awakening the Super Saiyan forms would still require immense effort.
‘What a scam…
this place is totally ripping people off.’ Alex had initially thought his 1.2 million Credit Points made him a wealthy man in the Reincarnation Space, only to realize he was barely at the starting line.
Undecided on how to upgrade himself next, he suddenly felt a tremor in his mind.
Someone had touched the defensive barrier he had set up in the Saint Seiya world.
‘Return to the Main World!’ he commanded.
In the next second, Alex opened his eyes, finding himself back inside the Aquarius Temple.
Outside the temple doors, a Silver Saint was calling out to him.
‘Lord Alex!
His Holiness the Pope requests your presence.
He says there is an urgent matter to discuss!’ _____ T/N:
