Chapter 549
He had no clue yet, but he wasn't panicking. Escaping the Reincarnation Game was a demand of many players, and with everyone's collective wisdom and effort, they could always find a way.
"The ticket to freedom is in my hands. Players are never afraid to fight, they're only afraid of not having the chance to fight. And I've already found the path to freedom."
Yuki stopped pacing. This was undermining the Reincarnation Game; anyone with a brain could tell it was going to be a bloody battle, and the battle would rely on strategy and strength.
"Thanks to 'Taiyi' for setting a pinnacle for players, so I don't have to worry about some old monster suddenly appearing."
This is the true source of confidence. Having achieved a level of self-awareness and understanding of the enemy, he will lead players who pursue freedom to fight against the lackeys headed by the Judge, without worrying about interference from higher levels.
Let's see what we've accomplished; we need to process it quickly and immediately begin the final steps of the plan.
With a slight wave of his arm, a brazier appeared in front of him—this was the greatest reward of the journey.
[Reincarnation Item: Chaos Furnace Flame]
This item can restart the world, turning it into Furnace and returning all living beings to Chaos Grade.
[Unlocked Status: The furnace fire is ignited, releasing Chaos Grade flames that scorch everything and cannot be erased or frozen by any skill]
[Activation Status: If the rules of the world are severely damaged, the furnace fire will be completely unleashed, burning the world into Chaos Grade, unifying all things, and granting direct support from the Reincarnation Game once. Cooldown period: one Borderlands year]
[Note: Reincarnation items can resonate with each other, attracting other reincarnation items in this plane (Note: These must be unowned). Each reincarnation team can have no more than one reincarnation item.]
"Huh, it's quite different from the Divine Torch."
Yuki stroked his chin. According to the Valhalla, the Divine Torch was more like a rule-based Noble Phantasm, while the Chaos Furnace Flame was more like an anti-world Noble Phantasm, which made him quite understand the difference.
Each reincarnation item is unique, which explains why each reincarnation team can only have one. It's hard to say whether the furnace fire or the Divine Torch is stronger, but the former is more abstract.
"The unlocked state is easy to understand. The Chaos Grade Flame is indeed very special; you either need to use spatial teleportation or directly withstand it with your abilities. Is the activated state a passive skill? Unlike the Divine Torch, which automatically enters the activated state if overused."
But what does it mean that the rules of the world we live in have been violated?
It's easy to understand literally, since that's what the Sky God did, but how could Yuki possibly make such a big scene if he wanted to activate it?
"Wait, rules? The permissions within the Outpost are a kind of rule, aren't they?"
Yuki suddenly realized something: the rules for each Outpost were set by those with authority, and the fall of a large number of those with authority would cause the rules to break down. Could this quantitative change lead to a qualitative change and activate the furnace?
Furthermore, wouldn't the Chaos Grade Furnace be considered a small world? And isn't the Divine Torch just a rule-based item? Doesn't the fact that all the rules it set up were destroyed count as such?
That's interesting; let's include it in the experiment options.
Yuki wasn't in a hurry to study the Chaos Furnace Flame, because he had already experienced the risks of activating it, and it really would attract jackals.
"The second major gain is this Six Gods' Authority."
He continued to look through his panel, read it carefully for a while, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
[Special Skill: Six Gods' Authority (Incomplete)]
[Usage Requirements: Requires an energy-rich organism with a similar energy spectrum.]
[Unlock Requirements: Epic-level Player Soul Material, unlocked according to strength]
[Activated: Thunder Incarnation, Sleeping Voice, Light of Divine Punishment]
A few simple lines of text convey a wealth of information.
It's understandable that he wasn't completely finished; after all, he hadn't managed to kill all six main gods, nor did he have time to gather authority.
The unlocking conditions are normal. Epic-level beings are life forms with authority and are the core of Epic Metamorphosis. Unlocking authority with authority is fair.
Of course, the difference in individual strength determines the intensity of authority, and unlocking powerful authority also requires powerful materials.
With a flick of his finger, a screen of light unfolded before him. Yuki held his breath and glanced at it, his eyes twitching.
"This has opened up a whole new skill tree for me."
It contains dozens of powers, or rather, the most core treasure of the 'Hero Continent,' an existence that drives countless heroes mad.
Upon closer inspection, there are no 'God of Gladiators' or 'God of Hunting' here; they are all divine authority reclaimed by the Chaos Furnace Flame, and at the very top are six purple dots of light.
Sky, earth, civilization, conflict, underworld, ocean.
A white light shone in the sky, indicating that the sky god had given Yuki some authority.
"This is the biggest gain, worth five, no, ten level-six items!"
Yuki's equipment and skills have never been particularly complex. He focuses on Epic Metamorphosis as the core, arranging and combining them. Reaching his level, acquiring some items or skills is not difficult. By squeezing in some enhancement points, he can create a bunch of Master-level items.
However, quality is more important than quantity. Each skill requires repeated training before it can be used in battle. Filling up a large number of skills on the skill panel is meaningless; skills that cannot be used are equivalent to having none.
"This is different. These are powers, equivalent to a whole host of Epic Metamorphosis, and I just happen to be able to use them."
Authority is not like a weapon such as a laser cannon, or simply magic; it contains a certain set of rules and is much more advanced.
However, the Reincarnation Game rarely introduces bug-level skills, and the Six Gods' Authority also have conditions for use.
The term "energy creature" indicates that pure physical combat players cannot use it at all; if they insist on using it, they need to prepare an external energy source.
Having a similar energy system makes it easier to understand; for example, a necromancer can only use skills related to the 'Netherworld'.
"I possess Soul King, which grants me the purest soul energy, and I can transform it at will."
Yuki hadn't forgotten how he used the Dragon-Hunting Sword Spear; with the Six Gods' Authority in his hand, it was like having a built-in skill library.
As for the soul material of epic-level players, isn't that like a mouse in a rice granary?
"Great, now even without entering dungeons, we won't have to worry about leveling up."
Yuki clasped his fists together, solving a major problem. Normally, players have to enter dungeons to become stronger. Epic-level dungeons are full of well-known and powerful players, so killing and looting them is neither convenient nor easy.
Furthermore, the Authority is very much like Epic Metamorphosis, and I also have a skill called 'Stand User', which, if I were to divide it...
Hehe, I doubt any puppet in Reincarnation Game would undergo an 'Epic Metamorphosis'.
His grin lingered, a myriad of ingenious schemes unfolding before he finally forced himself to suppress it and glanced at the end of the screen.
Enhancement Points: 47
Specialization points: 26
Adding what I had left over from the Race Game, I've accumulated so much without even realizing it, but it's still not enough.
Disregarding resource consumption, if you use 64 specialization points to raise your physical attributes to the maximum level 10, and if you can reach that point, even if all Transcendental Grade skills, special skills, Chaos Item, and reincarnation items are disabled, you can still turn players below Epic Tier III into mincemeat with just your iron fists.
"Time to make money, no, to be precise, time to go on a killing spree. We wasted so many lives on experiments."
Yuki felt a surge of pure bloodlust, and took one last look at his stats.

Call.
Yuki stood in the void and took a deep breath. 'No One Survives' —not only had he returned, but he had also stepped onto the final step of the Reincarnation Game.
Epic Tier IV, without any useless items or skills, after experiencing so many hardships and killing countless lives, he can finally touch the ceiling.
"The rest is just about breaking through this ceiling!"
Chapter Two: Ideas
"Let's welcome the artists from CRYCHIC, bringing you their latest single--"
"Haruhikage."
The screen flickered, and a variety show from Earth was playing on the TV. This was originally a 'monitor' that the senior used to keep an eye on her younger sister, but they were still on a mission. Yuki turned on the TV, she saw some familiar faces.
Oh, it's them! They've really made it big, appearing on TV.
Yuki felt a strong sense of disconnect as he watched Sakiko Togawa and the others step onto the stage and greet the audience with great energy.
He led his massive army, cutting through enemy lines and slaughtering countless enemies, his clothes soaked in blood and gold as he changed them. Meanwhile, the people of his hometown were enjoying their peaceful daily lives, the support group was so excited, and the idols were still full of energy. Suddenly, he felt that ignorance was such a blessing.
Yuki picked at the noodles with a fork. These were specially saved for him by his senior. They wouldn't spoil anyway, so he could just heat them up and eat them. His red eyes reflected the beautiful girls around him.
"Ha, will this Xiangzi still throw a tantrum? Will she be able to hold onto her dream until the very end? But her dream is nothing compared to the gods and demons."
Separated only by a screen, yet there is a dimensional gap; it's not just a physical distance, but an even greater gap in souls.
The idols played and sang, radiating youthful energy and the sparkle of dreams. Yuki, while enjoying the performance, pondered who he should kill next, how to deal with the Judge, and even calculated whether his all-out strike could cleave Tokyo in two.
Thinking of this, he looked away and gently covered his head.
"We need to hurry. If we stay in this Reincarnation Game for a few more years, we'll never be able to go back."
This subtle assimilation is unstoppable. Having experienced too much, Yuki finds it difficult to see the people on TV as the same kind of beings as himself, and this feeling becomes more and more obvious as his power increases.
If you threw Yuki back to Earth, the entire world's army combined wouldn't be enough to defeat him with one hand. He could take a nuclear bomb in the face, wipe out a city with a single strike, and do whatever he wanted. What about Sakiko Togawa? He could enslave her with just a glance. The difference in power is so great that even destroying the world becomes boring.
So just now, he suddenly didn't want to go back.
"Damn it, when is my senior going to come back? I desperately need some black stockings therapy."
Yuki sighed, looking at the empty room. People tend to overthink when they're lonely, especially after returning from a near-death experience in a difficult dungeon.
[Mr. Yuki, we've discussed this in the middle of the dungeon, and we want to get as many rewards as possible before coming back.]
This is the latest fax from Hiyori. In order not to affect Yuki, Hiyori rarely contacts him, and she only reports good news and not bad news. But even with the cheat of being in the same squad but not in the same faction, it is impossible for things to be as easy as she reports.
Three instances, and now they're all my senior classmates.
