Ch. 381Rapid Transformation
Chapter Summary: “Rapid Transformation”
1. Key Plot Points and Events
- A powerful Reincarnator realizes that another Reincarnator is behaving irrationally and is obsessed with killing Uchiha Yue. He restrains him and points out that he should have reported Yue to the Main God instead of repeatedly fighting him.
- The obsessed Reincarnator admits that Yue seems to possess an ability that compels others to attack him, but he cannot identify what is wrong with himself.
- The powerful man deduces that Yue’s immortality is a trap: Yue allows opponents to kill him, absorbing their strength until they are eventually exhausted or corrupted.
- Believing he has destroyed Yue on a conceptual level, the powerful man is shocked when Yue revives from the void.
- He identifies Yue’s eyes as the source of his resurrection and attempts to erase them from existence, including their history, causality, and everyone’s memories of them. Yue’s eyes nevertheless reappear.
- Refusing to accept that Yue is truly immortal, the powerful Reincarnator kills him repeatedly—hundreds, thousands, and eventually countless times.
- Without realizing it, the Reincarnator’s contamination reaches one hundred percent. He is completely transformed into another version of Uchiha Yue.
- The transformed being declares that he is Uchiha Yue and willingly offers his body and power to the original Yue, who devours him and grows dramatically stronger.
- A nearby top-tier Reincarnator witnesses this horrifying transformation and calls for help from the Main God, but Yue’s darkness consumes him before assistance can arrive.
- Yue then turns his attention toward the entire Main God Space universe, announcing that it should be destroyed. The Main God finally recognizes him as a disguised monster and identifies him as the greatest crisis it has ever faced.
2. Character Developments
- Uchiha Yue: His terrifying nature becomes clear. His resurrection cannot be prevented even through conceptual erasure, and his true ability involves corrupting those who repeatedly kill him. He evolves by absorbing powerful opponents and begins to threaten an entire universe.
- The powerful Reincarnator: Initially confident and analytical, he correctly suspects Yue’s strategy but becomes arrogant and obsessed with proving that immortality can be overcome. His refusal to retreat or change tactics causes him to lose his identity and become Yue.
- The top-tier Reincarnator: His confidence collapses into terror after witnessing the powerful man’s transformation. His desperate appeal to the Main God is futile.
- The Main God: It shifts from treating Yue as a relatively weak intruder to recognizing him as an unprecedented existential threat.
3. Significant Themes
- Obsession as a weapon: Yue’s enemies are manipulated by their fixation on killing him, causing them to ignore wiser strategies.
- The danger of arrogance: The powerful Reincarnator’s belief that every form of immortality must have a limit prevents him from recognizing that he is being corrupted.
- Loss of identity: Repeated exposure to Yue gradually overwrites the victim’s selfhood until the victim sincerely believes he is Yue.
- True immortality versus absolute power: The chapter questions whether overwhelming destructive force can defeat a being whose existence can restore itself even after conceptual annihilation.
- Predator disguised as prey: Yue’s apparent weakness is revealed to be a deliberate disguise, allowing him to consume increasingly powerful opponents.
- Escalating cosmic stakes: The conflict expands from an individual battle to a threat against the entire Main God Space universe.
4. Character Interactions
- The powerful Reincarnator restrains and confronts the obsessed Reincarnator, warning him that his behavior is abnormal.
- He then confronts Uchiha Yue directly, attempting first to erase him completely and later to destroy the eyes responsible for his resurrection.
- Yue repeatedly allows himself to be killed, silently turning the powerful man’s attacks into a means of contamination.
- Once transformed, the powerful Reincarnator willingly identifies himself as Yue and surrenders his entire power to the original.
- The top-tier Reincarnator witnesses the absorption, panics, and calls to the Main God before being devoured.
- The Main God senses Yue’s transformation only after Yue has consumed the nearby Reincarnators and begun threatening the universe itself.
