Inquisitor Module, Loyalty!

Werewolves?

They seemed pretty common.

But this kind of lineage did possess divinity, and certainly had plenty of potential for further development. In the epics of various peoples, Wolf Gods often held a place of prominence. Take the jackal-headed Egyptian god of death, the guide to the Netherworld, for example.

At that moment, under everyone's gaze, Emir gradually calmed down after completing his initial lineage exchange. But right after that, he was once again enveloped in a pillar of light from the Main God.

He floated in midair for about three minutes.

During that time, countless tiny particles continuously shot into his body, carrying out a thorough transformation.

Brawny.

Masculine.

Dangerous.

Those were Tang Tian's impressions of him.

His judgment came from his spider sense!

After two rounds of enhancement, Emir was undoubtedly stronger than him. Fang Xiu could see this even more clearly: through the Sharingan's ability to see the channels in the body, he could directly compare their vitality.

"I spent one D-rank side-story reward and 1,000 reward points to exchange for the Low-level Mutant Werewolf Lineage, completing the first upgrade to my physical strength.

"Then, I spent one C-rank side-story reward and 1,300 reward points to upgrade to the Intermediate Mutant Werewolf Lineage enhancement, which can fight spiritual entities.

"Now, with my remaining reward points, I can still exchange for a few Magic Scrolls, a considerable number of Spirit Bullets, and a one-use Malice Protection Talisman." The broad-shouldered Middle Eastern man spoke confidently. He threw a couple of punches into the air and tested his newly enhanced body on the spot. He seemed quite pleased with how it felt.

After listening to the explanation, Fang Xiu, the team leader, nodded lightly. "Good. Use the next nine days to train and get a handle on your strength."

Clearly, compared to relying on external tools, Emir preferred to hold his own fate in his hands—even if, after his enhancement, he was still clearly outmatched by the Ghost King.

"Yeah. I hope the Plasma Pistol can still be useful and hurt the Ghost King," Emir added optimistically. The extra resources he'd had for enhancements, compared to Tang Tian, had come from that very weapon.

"Maybe." Fang Xiu couldn't say for sure.

He quickly asked the Main God, and immediately received an affirmative answer—

Beginner Plasma Pistol, rating: 81 points. A pan-sci-fi item, originating from the Alien vs. Predator setting. It has extremely high physical penetrative power and burns spiritual creatures. Suitable for most worlds. Exchange cost: one D-rank side-story reward and 700 reward points.

At this point, after some deliberation, Odubiao, the Black middle-aged man who had been limited by his place of birth and had little chance to encounter movies and TV shows of any kind, finally made his choice.

A pillar of light descended around him.

[Low-tier Dominion Angel Mutant Lineage, from the "pan-fantasy" system. Exchange cost: one C-rank side-story reward and 1,500 reward points. The exchanger will receive a slight increase in muscle strength, nerve response, and immunity, with a chance of enhanced mental strength. He can activate a cycle of holy energy and gain the active skill Holy Protection. Suitable for most settings. It has a certain suppressive effect on negative-energy creatures such as undead, dark, and cursed beings.] --Skill: Holy Protection. Consumes a certain amount of holy energy to provide yourself or an ally with a protective layer of holy light. Offers special defense against negative-energy conditions such as undead, darkness, and curses. Physically, it can withstand attacks from small-caliber launchers.

"I'm not good at fighting, and I've never known much about lineages, sci-fi, or anything like that. But since I've died once and have struggled on the brink of death many times, I don't really like taking other people's lives either."

Odubiao, the middle-aged man with a halo over his head, slowly descended and said in a deep voice, "So I want to become a medic in the team, someone who can provide support and healing.

"And after exchanging for this, I'm planning to use the remaining 500 points to buy some basic protective gear."

"..." Fang Xiu was stunned. Looking at the Black man with the pale white halo over his head, he could think of only one thing: Why couldn't God be Black?

As for the protective gear's name and effect, he didn't really care.

The 500-point budget was right there in black and white. It obviously couldn't be anything too incredible; it would just provide basic protection against spiritual entities.

Just then, everyone's eyes silently shifted to Haida, currently the Shazhou Team's only female Reincarnator.

[Inquisitor Module—from the Warhammer 40,000 setting. Upon exchange, the user receives the minimum equipment required of an Imperial Inquisitor, including a Plasma Pistol, an Artificer-grade Power Sword, a set of Light Protective Armor, relatively seasoned combat skills, and knowledge of how to fight xenos. It also comes with a certain degree of enhancement to all attributes. This enhancement requires one C-rank side-story reward and 2,000 reward points.]

"The Plasma Pistol's ammunition and the Power Sword's battery are included. Both can effectively damage negative-energy entities."

After showing off what she'd exchanged for, the Arab woman, wrapped tightly in robes, added, "Besides, I killed a few Facehuggers in the last instance. The extra reward points are enough to exchange for a one-use enchanted scroll, which will let my weapons deal additional damage to spiritual entities."

"Good." Fang Xiu nodded as if the matter were of little importance, but he couldn't help thinking that this woman was really tough.

He just didn't know if she was loyal enough to the Emperor.

Of course, all these newcomers had a mind of their own.

Except for Tang Tian, who counted as half a fellow countryman.

Unfortunately, having too much of a mind of one's own wasn't always a good thing. The Fusang Ghost King wouldn't be easy to deal with. They were still relying on a beginner's enhancement.

Seeking outside help was nothing more than wishful thinking.

The truth... was hard to say.

In the Main God Space, everything was for the sake of evolution, and that required a high-pressure environment.

Ultimately, one had to rely on oneself, not keep looking for bugs and loopholes!! Thinking this, Fang Xiu glanced at the Arab woman, whose physical attributes had all increased slightly. She had already summoned heavy armor and wrapped herself up tightly again.

Then he turned and headed toward his private space, ready to undergo his second transformation.

"I may as well count as a member of the Uchiha Clan. Even if I landed on the night of the clan's massacre and got killed off on the spot, restoring the glory of the Gunbai is still my duty!"

His thoughts had briefly gone off track, but once Fang Xiu made a decision, he never hesitated. After arriving at the familiar Forest of Death, he immediately put it into action:

"Main God, exchange for one Intermediate Indra's Power."

Right away, light descended.

Fang Xiu closed his eyes.

Yet he could see what was happening inside his body. Deep in his genes, a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to appear, while a cold black six-pointed star slowly revolved.

The aura of Yin Release erupted violently, seemingly developing a will of its own, desperate to correct the imbalance between yin and yang! Just like before, this bloodline evolution wasn't violent. The Main God delivered exactly what was asked for, without side effects, as long as the price was right.

Inside his pupils, the two Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster, seemingly on the verge of connecting.

And throughout the whole process, the power representing Yang Release didn't run wild at all. Instead, it remained exceptionally calm, further guiding the seemingly opposing Yin Release until Fang Xiu fully absorbed it and brought the two into harmony.

Exhilarating! His ocular power soared in a short time, then stabilized.
