Dawn broke, and the morning sun rose.
Golden morning light streamed through gaps in the barriers of the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball Space, spilling across the ground of its central region and dispelling the last traces of predawn darkness.
Chiya stood still, feeling the surge of reiatsu within him and the new power flowing from Ryūjin Jakka in his hand. There was no surprise on his face, only a faint, knowing smile.
The System Panel projected onto his retina continued to refresh. The rewards for the ultimate mission were still being tallied.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Peak access to the entire Death God ability system has officially been unlocked!] [Ding! Kidō system fully unlocked: the host can use Hadō, Bakudō, and healing arts of every level without incantations or hand seals, with no side effects or reiatsu consumption!] [Ding! Hakuda system fully unlocked: the host's Hakuda has surpassed the limits of taijutsu rules and can bypass physical defenses to attack a target's essence directly. Power tier permanently fixed at universe level!] [Ding! Flash Step system fully unlocked: the host's Flash Step has surpassed the restrictions of spatial rules, allowing movement across spaces and dimensions with no cooldown or consumption, at speeds exceeding light!] [Ding! Zanjutsu system fully unlocked: the host's Zanjutsu has reached the pinnacle of the Death God world. All sword techniques can be performed with the Zanpakuto, with their power increased by 1000%!]
The instant the system notifications ended, a torrent of information flooded Chiya's mind.
The methods for casting every Kidō spell, every Hakuda technique, every principle of Flash Step, and every essence of Zanjutsu instantly became part of his instincts. He could clearly feel that his command of the entire Death God ability system had reached an unprecedented peak.
He needed no hand seals or incantations.
