74 Chapter 74 - Reward
Surprised was the only thing that could describe what Ryuu is looking at. It was unbelievably useful in terms of versatility considering the wide array in which they could be utilized.
He turned to Shinobu who was eager to question her reward as it was foreign to her but perfect for her. Ryuu couldn't deny that his envy of Shinobu having a reward would be incredibly powerful.
[ Admin received "Blacklight Virus" ]
[ Blacklight Virus has fused with Muzan Demon king Physique ]
[ Absolute Pathogen Physiology had been added ]
The Blacklight Virus was extremely versatile due to its shapeshift ability and absorption of biomassed that let the person infected gain their memories of nearly everything about the said person.
He could also make creatures by infecting people but it still depends on the biomass that he would consume. Ryuu wonders if he could make someone infected then place his split mind to perfectly make a clone of himself since he has a [ Hivemind ] having a single thought.
''Absolute Pathogen Physiology? I wonder what that is but let me check it later. I'll test it later but now I can make creatures with my Blood magic!'
Like Vandalieu who has similar ability to him in the future when he acquired the Demon King Fragment was able to make clones of himself but most of them are food for his son in the future with Tiamat, Bakunawa.
Putting that aside, Ryuu ponders if the clone would have the same ability as the Main body or not. It was fortunate that he could fix the weaknesses of [ Blacklight Virus ] like sinking in the sea after consuming too much biomass making him wonder if it is the same with the new Physiology.
"What did you get, Ryuu?" Shinobu asked.
"Oh, did you two get a reward like you mentioned before?"
Both Shinobu and Mitsuri were curious on what kind of new power Ryuu would acquire. He only gave a large smirk before telling them everything and its uses.
"It's a virus that came from a game called Prototype. I can consume…wait not eat like absorbing people's mass and body gaining their DNA and shapeshift into that form." Ryuu explained.
"I don't know what that is but it sounds amazing! Right Shinobu!?" Mitsuri said
"It does considering Ryuu could be anyone if given the chance and sneak to any places. Do you gain their personality as well?" Shinobu said.
"No, only their memories and if my guess is correct their special traits like I absorb someone stronger than me then I can gain that strength but how much probably depends but also i might need to weaken them first since some people have resistance."
They were [ Disease Resistance ] and [ Status Effect Resistances ] with the addition of [ Purification ] from Lambda or Vandalieu's world and other planets.
Ryuu overpowered if he played his cards right. Regardless, he's a monster in terms of potential in consuming flesh. The Flesh that hates.
"But it still sounds amazing isn't it?" Shinobu said.
"It is actually if I get the chance to maybe share the virus with you but I need to test people first."
He wanted to give them some more edge but he was afraid that they might become mindless creatures.
"Enough about me, yours is a lot better!" Ryuu said.
"What? What about you, Shinobu??" Mitsuri asked
"Well…"
[ Butterfly Hashira has acquired "Shinigami Bundle." ]
A bundle that contains all about a Shinigami from their Spiritual Power to their Zanpakuto and even Kidō, Hakuda and Hohō. It has a terrifying potential and if used correctly.
Ryuu already shared his [ Shundō ] and [ Koku Shundo ] meaning that her adding [ Shunpō ] would likely make her speed faster than ever before.
Furthermore, her Zanpakuto might help in controlling her poison to be placed in a single area.
"A "Shinigami"!! Wow!? Does that mean her reward is a lot better than yours, Ryuu?" Mitsuri commented
"Potential wise yes, she is better. Shinobu, teach me Shunpō if you get the chance." Ryuu said.
"Sure, Ryuu but can you tell me what a Zanpakuto is?"
Ryuu happily explains what a Zanpakuto is and the benefits of having one. There are known three stages when unlocking the potential of the weapon.
The first one is Asauchi which is the lowest and weakest as the Shinigami has yet to learn the name of their Zanpakuto and form a connection to it where they would meet their Zanpakutō Spirit. It is the spirit embodying a Shinigami's Zanpakutō that resides within their master's inner world.
Forming a connection is through intense training and meditation that gradually increases the connection of the Shinigami to their Zanpakuto.
The Zanpakutō Spirit is a part of their Shinigami's soul, and their appearance and abilities are a reflection of this; as such, they also share their master's resolve.
They exist in tandem with their master; they are born alongside their Shinigami, and die with them.
A Zanpakutō Spirit's power is separate from that of their owner, and when a Shinigami draws on this power in addition to their own, their Zanpakutō will become even stronger. They dwell within the inner worlds of their Shinigami masters.
After forming with their Zanpakuto Spirit would unlock the second stage that changes its form called Shikai ( Initial Release) is the second (or first upgraded) form available to a Zanpakutō. To activate it, the Shinigami needs to learn the name of their Zanpakutō.
This is not as easy as simply picking a name, for the living spirit of the Zanpakutō already has its own name. The Shinigami must be able to communicate and harmonize with their Zanpakutō effectively, which requires being able to speak to the spirit within its world. Gaining access to one's Shikai and releasing it for the first time is known as Manifestation.
The blade changes shape and gains special abilities by chanting a Kaigo ( Release Call), or release incantation. Using the Kaigo, followed by the name of the Zanpakutō, activates Shikai. It is crucial to memorize each phrase, as every Zanpakutō has a different incantation.
Bankai ( Final Release) is the second and final upgraded form of a Zanpakutō.
To achieve Bankai, one must be able to materialize and subjugate their Zanpakutō spirit. Materialization means the opposite of getting dragged into the Zanpakutō's inner world: the wielder needs to summon the Zanpakutō's spirit into the physical world. It usually takes 10 years or more to achieve, plus the experience needed to master it.
Despite the Zanpakutō spirit being subjugated for their Shinigami to learn Bankai, the Zanpakutō also becomes stronger and learns Bankai at precisely the moment their Shinigami learns it.
Even though Bankai is the final stage of a Zanpakutō, it does not mean the Shinigami's growth ends there. A Bankai, especially one recently obtained, can evolve even further as its Shinigami gets stronger.
Furthermore, obtaining Bankai allows a Shinigami to release their Shikai without calling its name, although some Shinigami still choose to release their Shikai by calling its name.
"That's why I said in terms of potential she has a lot more than me." Ryuu said.
"10 years of training seem a bit too long."s Shinobu said.
"Don't worry about that, focus on getting used to your power first before thinking about Bankai." Ryuu said.
"Yeah, Shinobu. We have the Dimensional room and Ryuu by our side! We can use Plot to our advantage!" Mitsuri reminded her of their biggest advantage.
"....I think you're reading too much manga, Mitsuri." Ryuu said.
"Hey I've only read black clover!" Mitsuri said.
"That doesn't make it better." Shinobu said.
"Anyway, why don't we celebrate!?"
They nodded as Ryuu checked his status that he hadn't seen ever since he arrived in the demon slayer world.
