The silver-haired young man in the mirror opened his azure eyes a little wider.
Qi Wu was stunned by his own outrageously handsome reflection.
His black hair had been replaced by silver hair as icy as a glacier.
His long white eyelashes shimmered faintly under the light.
His already handsome features now carried a touch of divinity.
His skin was almost translucently pale, his nose high and straight, his lips thin and elegantly shaped. Most striking of all were his eyes-
Blue as deep as the heavens, with a starlike shimmer around the edges of his irises!
These were-
[Six Eyes]!
The foundation of the Gojo Clan's Limitless!
Limitless could interfere with matter at the atomic level and manipulate quanta in space!
"So this is... Satoru Gojo's card."
Qi Wu gazed at his reflection, momentarily lost in thought.
He had already been very handsome.
Now that he had fused with Satoru Gojo,
he had transcended what ordinary people considered "handsome."
"I look like someone who stepped straight out of a manga."
Qi Wu murmured.
"Anyway, now isn't the time to admire my own face."
With that quip, Qi Wu opened his ability panel.
Ability descriptions appeared on the golden panel.
[Name]: Qi Wu. [Age]: 18. [Combat power]: Sixth-tier Mid-rank. [Attributes]: Strength 55, endurance 60, agility 70, spiritual power 75. [Fused card]: Satoru Gojo (10%). [Unlocked abilities]: Limitless, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. [Available fusion cards]: None. [Popularity points]: 0. [Tip]: The host can increase fusion progress by gaining [Popularity points] or [Irritation points] through Cursed Technique Reversal.
"So that's how it works."
The silver-haired young man in the mirror tilted his head slightly, an amused smile curling his lips.
He snapped his fingers lightly-
Snap!
In an instant, the space throughout the bathroom seemed to warp under some invisible force.
The air trembled slightly, and ripples seemed to spread across the mirror.
Qi Wu could clearly sense that the energy flowing inside him was no longer ordinary spiritual power, but...
"Cursed energy"!
-or rather, "specialized spiritual power" that the system had adapted to this world's rules.
It contained far denser energy than ordinary spiritual power.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."
He quietly spoke the move's name, gathering a ball of deep-blue energy in his right palm.
Blue's effect was to create a singularity with infinite attractive force.
Like a miniature black hole.
The space around the sphere warped slightly, as though even light were being swallowed.
"Shall I test its power?"
Qi Wu looked through the window toward an abandoned, uninhabited building in the distance.
"Target locked-"
He raised his hand and gave a gentle push.
Boom-!!
A deep-blue beam of energy instantly pierced the air, shooting out at a terrifying speed beyond the sound barrier!
In the next instant-
The distant abandoned building warped, and a massive hole ten meters across was blasted straight through it!
"...That's even more powerful than I imagined."
Qi Wu withdrew his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Now, let's try this one."
He slowly raised his hand and lightly swept his fingertips through the air.
"Limitless."
-Hum!
In an instant, the space around him seemed to be sealed off by an invisible barrier, and everything approaching him-
Dust, air, even light slowed down a few centimeters away from him, almost coming to a standstill!
"Absolute defense."
Qi Wu chuckled.
"There probably aren't many things in this world that can hurt me now."
Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.
-it was a call from Feng Yuyao.
Qi Wu glanced at it and hung up immediately.
But a moment later, the phone began vibrating furiously again, a barrage of texts popping up:
[Qi Wu! Why did you hang up on me?!]
[Did I do something to you!?]
[I want you at my house right now to apologize!]
[Otherwise, I'll have Lin Yao bring me food tomorrow!]
Qi Wu's lips twitched as he read the messages.
"So noisy..."
Ah, to be young.
Back then, relationships didn't even feel like a hassle.
Who would still be a simp after being reborn?!
He casually tossed his phone aside, but a second later-
[Ding!] [Feng Yuyao has lost her composure. Irritation points +100.] [Converting irritation points... Fusion progress increased to 11%.]
Qi Wu raised an eyebrow.
"Got it."
He chuckled, now knowing how to increase his fusion progress.
Qi Wu picked up his phone, his slender fingers tapping rapidly across the screen as he sent a message.
[Mad?]
A second later.
[Feng Yuyao has completely lost it. Irritation points +200.] [Converting irritation points... Fusion progress increased to 13%.]
If he kept making people like Feng Yuyao lose their composure,
his fusion progress would increase.
Watching his fusion progress soar, Qi Wu's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
[You're always asking other people to bring you food. Do you not have hands or feet?]
[Ding!] [Feng Yuyao is furious. Irritation points +300.] [Converting irritation points... Fusion progress increased to 16%.]
The silver-haired young man leaned against the window. As his phone buzzed, he continued adding fuel to the fire:
[Besides, you already eat plenty every day.]
[I heard there's a piglet Demon called Peppa.]
[Is your dream to become Peppa?]
His phone suddenly began vibrating like mad, more than a dozen voice messages popping up in rapid succession.
Qi Wu played them on speaker, and Feng Yuyao's hysterical screams instantly filled the room:
"Qi Wu! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!!"
[Extreme emotional fluctuations detected.] [Irritation points +400.] [Current Satoru Gojo fusion progress: 20%.] [Ability unlocked: Super-High-Speed Movement.]
Qi Wu studied the panel's figures with satisfaction, suddenly feeling the cursed energy inside him flow more smoothly.
He raised his hand and formed an even larger azure energy sphere, now half a meter in diameter.
"Looks like making Feng Yuyao lose it works even better than I expected."
Just as he was about to provoke Feng Yuyao further, his Six Eyes suddenly picked up an abnormal energy fluctuation.
Qi Wu whipped his head toward the southeast, narrowing his eyes.
"This spiritual pressure... a Fifth-tier Demon?"
Meanwhile, alarms blared through the Superpower Administration headquarters.
[Warning! Spatial quake detected in South City!] [Energy level: Fifth-tier!] [Code name: Gluttony Lord!]
Qi Wu stood up and stretched.
"Hmm, perfect timing. A chance to try this in a real fight."
He was just about to take a step when a sudden wave of dizziness hit him.
The computational load of Six Eyes is too high...
And the drain is enormous.
Qi Wu held his forehead as the thought crossed his mind.
No wonder Satoru Gojo wears a blindfold.
He staggered and braced himself against the wall, cold sweat soaking his silver hair and plastering it to his forehead.
"Tch, 20% fusion progress still isn't enough..."
He forced himself over to the curtains, tore off a strip of black gauze, and wrapped it around his eyes.
Once the black gauze covered his eyes as a blindfold, the overwhelming torrent of information was finally filtered down to a tolerable level.
"I'll just cosplay as Mr. Gojo for now."
Qi Wu chuckled, his figure vanishing instantly from the spot, leaving only one final unsent message on his phone's screen:
[By the way, I saw a bit of vegetable stuck between your teeth today.]
