"So it ultimately chose this option after all... That was unexpected."
After hearing the Fujiwara Family Head's report, Xu Yue seemed somewhat wistful. Fortunately, there was still some of the wool he had sheared last time, which should be enough. And with the Penguin Merchant Guild in hand, gathering the materials he wanted would undoubtedly be efficient enough.
The more he could collect, the better.
Fullmetal Alchemist...
It was the mission Jiaren planned to stake everything on next time.
Well, judging solely by its apparent performance, Fullmetal Alchemist did not seem particularly high-level, but that space was relatively special.
It was a Mission Space where high-level powerhouses could easily suffer a disastrous setback.
Because the world's fundamental principle of "Equivalent Exchange" carried an extremely high weight granted by the space.
If one wanted to use any kind of power in that world, one had to understand the fundamental alchemy: comprehension, decomposition, and then reconstruction.
The stronger a Reincarnator was, the greater the price they had to pay.
If their mastery of alchemy was insufficient, the power they used might instead consume their own flesh and soul.
For example, a jōnin-level Reincarnator with Chakra could enter that world and exchange high-energy food or even flesh and blood to temporarily gain Chakra before using ninjutsu. Only then would they avoid the backlash of "Equivalent Exchange."
Even taijutsu beyond a certain limit required a similar exchange of price, temporarily increasing cellular vitality and energy.
Or they could directly rely on their understanding of Earth Release to create all kinds of attacks through alchemy.
High-energy food = Chakra = temporary Earth Release formed from Chakra
Earth = Earth Alchemy
The two appeared identical, but their underlying principles were completely different.
Likewise, the stronger one was, the stronger the limit of power they could unleash
