Nine stars twinkled in the sky, showering the blood world with pale yellow starry light.
The tenth star burned in Kai's heart, brighter than all.
After sealing the broken piece of Reality Marble's sky, the dull, sinister silence had returned.
The pressure falling over all beings was still as great as ever, rooting them to their place.
None could move, none could react, and none could see...
None could see that there was a yellow stroke on Kai's forehead, glowing with a sickly glow.
This stroke was neither straight nor curved, and its geotry would have forced others to nauseate on the spot if they could look at it.
But the seal placed on Kai by the Existence was still active, making it impossible for even Deep Ones to know the Yellow Sign's existence on him. Much less needed to be said about half part of one of its three arms.
But it was this half-arm that had changed everything for Kai; his fate, his destiny, his life trajectory, and almost everything about him seed to have changed.
Or it was better to say it had evolved, transcending his previous Self.
Yet, sothing was missing about him.
Sothing only Kai could feel.
-I can't sense my Reiryoku and Reiatsu,- Kai hissed, looking at his body. -The Spiritual Awakening should have awakened by Reiatsu Vents.
-But I didn't get System's Notification about it. Nor can I sense any Spirituality within . Is it because of my low Breath?-
Kai wasn't as unaware of things as he had after arriving at the Primordial Tower for the first ti.
If there was a gain that could be truly said to be a life-changing event, then that was his enslaving g.
With her ca not only a loyal servant but also an enormous source of knowledge.
...
We differ from the storyline Characters of Bleach , g had told him after his return from Verse Fusion Random World. When we go through our Spiritual Awakening, we also awaken our Reiryoku (Spiritual Power) and Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure).
It's just like how we have SP, but it doesn't an we can use it as Chakra. It's also like how we have HP, but it doesn't an it can be used as Nen. No.
We must first bring our Stats to an appropriate limit, and only then the System will notify you about it, allotting your new Stats.
In the most general cases, a Contestant will need 20 points of Breath and acknowledgnt from a Shinigami, Arrancar, Quincy, or similar existences from Bleach Random World.
One can even go to Inuyasha World, as the concept of Reiryoku is quite broad and spread across many such Random Worlds across the Multiverse.
Only then, upon Spiritual Awakening, the Systems would allot the Stats Spiritual Class and Spirit Class to a Contestant.
But with the matter of Verse Fusion of Demon Slayer and Bleach Worlds, things seed to have gone off-course in your case, master.
I think you don't need acknowledgnt anymore.
...
It could even be said that Kai had already gotten all the acknowledgnt he needed, as the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, was a major Character in her own rights.
A shocking burst of light kept seeping out from the yellow stroke on Kai's forehead as he frowned.
-According to g, there are Six levels of Spiritual Class and Twenty levels of Spirit Class,- Kai hissed, recalling the info. -Even if my Breath is below 20 points (-as the buffs didn't count-), I should have gotten the lowest level of Spiritual Class, Basic Spiritual Power, and the lowest rank of Spirit Class, the 20th... Sothing's wrong.-
It was then the evil cackle of the Sword Spirit rang in Kai's ears.
Kai's eyes under the Dentor's hood shifted to look at it, demanding an explanation.
-Keke!- the yellow-haired being's hisses were full of mockery. -Kai, oh, Kai! Did you think you could just fuck around with Luck without facing the consequences?-
Kai's pupils trembled at the ntion of Luck.
A bang rang out in his mind, forcing out a buried mory.
chanically, Kai's gaze landed on the Equipped Title on his Stats, which could appear in his vision with the faintest command.
Poacher was written in bold letters there.
...
[
Title: Poacher
Specification: Kill 10 magical beasts collectively. The magical beasts' grade must be equal to or higher than Contestant's equivalent floor number
Status: (9/10)
Effect: Agility 1, Perception 1, Charisma -2
]
...
This?!
Where was the Novice Collector Title?
Where were the extra 3 points of Luck?
After gaining the Novice Collector Title, only once had Kai switched to another Title, and that was to gain Shinobu as his subordinate.
Never had he even contemplated putting off Novice Collector Title, for it brought down his Luck to its original value — Three!
Yet, it was exactly what he had done.
Not to ntion, Kai himself seed to rember this switching of Titles only now. What was going on?
-On Interceptor, you lost your Comprehension about Luck at Two Extremities,- the Sword Spirit hissed. -But you did gain a part, say a millionth, of that Epiphany before it truly vanished.
-When you pushed the Selfless Breathing to the extre to get the Book back, despite knowing it ant sure death, it wasn't just because it adhered to your Demonic Attitude. No. The risk was just too great.
-The reasoning that forced even you to discard the prospects of sure death... was that you were adamant about testing out the part of that Epiphany gained by you.-
Kai's face grew hard, rembering the ti when he had switched the Titles — just before the ethereal blood flas had gained substance.
-Kekeke!- the yellow-haired being cackled. -Your Luck would bring upon you doom, you knew.
-Yet, you also had gained an Understanding that... if you were to survive that doom sohow, you would gain imnse Power.
-The mont these thoughts had risen in your heart, you used the Facelessness Contrasts to fool yourself, nudging your Self to believe that you only wanted to save the Book, and had no other purpose.
-Otherwise, you couldn't have forced yourself to transcend your current capabilities, going beyond.
-It was also because of this that you ended up awakening your Spirituality, gaining this serendipity. Now that's... truly demonic.
-A demon for others and a demon for oneself. Keke!-
The words rang far and wide as if the entire Reality Marble was praising the hideous resolve soone like Kai could show.
-I still don't understand,- Kai hissed, not comnting on his risks and reasoning.
-Limitless Blood Firmant is the imnse Power you were hoping to obtain,- the Sword Spirit told him. -The Multiverse Interdependency has linked your Spiritual Awakening and Reality Marble.
-Or, you can say that your "Spiritual" aspects are now inherently linked with this World. It has created two major problems.
-First, considering the absurdness of your Reality Marble, and according to my understanding, you would have needed at least 50 Points of Correspondence to even activate this Reality Marble.
-Now, you need 50 Points both in Correspondence and Breath, as the Reality Marble will consu both your MP and SP.
-Keke! Are you getting how crucial this eting of ours is, now?-
Kai's face instantly crumpled.
50 Points in both Correspondence and Breath?!
This was too far from him, Kai knew.
One must not forget that there were Six Active Attributes, Kai was in the 2nd Set that had 50 points in Set Quota, and that Tournant of Worth was a once-in-a-lifeti event.
An Attribute gaining 50 Points was the minimum requirent for one to be called a Top-level 9th-floor existence, to begin with.
And that, too, only was the case when such Contestants didn't lack in other Attributes, maintaining a balance.
-What's the second?- Kai demanded.
-You can not Release outside the Reality Marble. Kekeke!-
What?! Kai almost lost his composure.
What's the point of Spiritual Awakening if he could not use Shikai?
Suddenly, the Sword Spirit's cackling intensified.
Kai's bubbling anxiety paused with this rise in cackles.
Now that he had Comprehended the true essence of his Inner World, his Reality Marble, the Sword Spirit had already accepted him worthy enough to wield it.
That also ant the connection between it and Kai had undergone a montous change, deepening more than ever.
Kai could feel that the Sword Spirit, despite the two foul problems it had told him, didn't share his anxiety.
-Keke! Now, those two were the horrid problems caused by your Luck,- the Sword Spirit hissed. -It's natural that you gained an even greater fortune out of it.-
