Chapter 59: Main God Ren Arakawa's Enhancement Path, He's Really Become a Monster!
Two-thirds of the great revenge had been exacted.
Main God Ren Arakawa finally had a moment to connect to the feeds of his many "brothers."
The environment where Stephen Fang was located was quite chaotic.
A crowd of people surged, their "long guns and short cannons"—cameras—aimed at the man in a suit standing next to him.
This was the scene of a press conference.
It was the press conference where Tony Stark announced his true identity as Iron Man.
Ever since the day Iron Monger had nearly killed Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, only for them to be rescued by Stephen Fang...
Tony Stark had specially hired Stephen Fang to Stark Industries to become his personal bodyguard.
Stephen Fang was also the one living the most carefree life among all the versions.
The situation of Pirate Ren Arakawa could be summarized as eternally unchanging.
A damp prison cell.
The occasional bucket of ice water and a savage beating from the jailer.
A future with almost no hope in sight.
Uchiha Ren's circumstances were much better in comparison.
Although the nine-month clan extermination debuff hung over his head...
Training alongside Hatake Kakashi made him the most optimistic one of the bunch.
Main God Ren Arakawa confirmed that all his avatars were still alive and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Er Niu, I've come for you."
"Meng Rene was killed at the hands of the Devil Team."
"Only Da Qiang is left. Soon..."
The group shared a single mind, so the various Ren Arakawas didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
Uchiha Ren Arakawa: "Hatake Kakashi is currently teaching me the Shadow Clone and Water Dragon Bullet jutsu. They're a bit difficult to learn, especially the Water Dragon Bullet, which requires forty-four hand seals. It's nothing like Hashirama's three-seal techniques, but its strength lies in being easier to learn, and its practical use far exceeds the Great Fireball Technique."
Stephen Fang: "Once I'm done with this period and have some money, I'll try to see if I can get in touch with Kamar-Taj. It's not a good time for me to be asking about the Super Soldier Serum right now."
Pirate Ren Arakawa sighed, a white mist condensing in the freezing prison cell. "After that Iron Head Marine officer taught me Iron Body, he was only able to demonstrate Soru for me once before he was taken away..."
Main God Ren Arakawa nodded. "Mm, I generally understand."
Uchiha Ren asked, "Have you thought about how you're going to Enhance yourself?"
Main God Ren Arakawa checked his Main God wristband. "In the *Alien* movie, I snatched two Xenomorphs from Er Niu, gaining a thousand Reward points, but killing him canceled it out."
"Two face-huggers, got one hundred."
"Seven thousand for that bitch, plus a B-rank side story plot."
"Tricking that cursed woman put me in a one-thousand-four-hundred-point deficit. The basic Reward plus the crew survival Reward canceled out the penalty."
"Because that cursed woman died, I had to pay an extra hundred points, and I also borrowed a hundred points from Zhang Jie."
"Add to that the cost of healing from my life-or-death battle with Da Qiang..."
"So, I have 6700 points on me, plus one B-rank side story plot."
As Main God Ren Arakawa spoke, he walked out of his room.
In the plaza, only Zhang Jie, Nuowa, and a woman Ren Arakawa had never seen before were present.
The others were in their rooms, savoring the final moments of beauty from their memories.
Only the two members of Ren Arakawa's "team" were busy researching how to continue surviving.
"Ah! You're here!"
Zhang Jie was very excited to see Ren Arakawa. After all, the experience of going through life and death together was plain to see.
Zhang Jie put his arm around the slender waist of a classical beauty. "Let me introduce you, my... my lover, Ying'er."
"Hello... thank you for taking care of Zhang Jie." Ying'er gave Ren Arakawa a deep bow.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Please, stand up."
Ren Arakawa had no intention of making polite conversation. He looked towards the great ball of light, silently syncing the feed with the other Ren Arakawas in his mind.
The number of things that could be exchanged in the Main God Space was staggering. Standing beneath this sphere of light, one could browse for ten days and still not see everything.
Fortunately, the previous leader of Team China had unlocked permissions, allowing everyone to use the search function. Ren Arakawa quickly found a particularly disgusting enhancement path.
[Intermediate Parasitic Beast: From"Parasyte". Requires 5000 Reward points and one C-rank side story plot. Rating: 76. Suitable for the vast majority of horror movies. Can cause bodily mutation; the parasitized organ can be chosen.]
[Advanced Parasitic Beast: From"Parasyte". Requires 18000 Reward points, one B-rank side story plot, and two C-rank side story plots. Rating: 89. An enhanced version of the basic Parasitic Beast. When paired with psychic abilities, one can seize the Parasitic Beast's consciousness, transferring the host's mind into the Parasitic Beast. The Parasitic Beast can then attach to any physical body (Xenomorph, Predator, zombie, etc.). Note: Abandoning the original body is irreversible. a Resurrection Cross or other means of body reconstruction must be purchased to restore permissions within the space. The parasitized creature cannot be brought back to the plaza; it will return in the form of the Parasitic Beast.]
After reading the details of what Meng Rene had enhanced, Ren Arakawa grit his teeth fiercely!
It was a good thing the Devil Team had a pervert like Fu Ming, coupled with favorable timing and location, to force Meng Rene to her death.
But if any single element had been missing, that woman might have survived.
If she had managed to return to the Main God Space, the consequences would have been truly endless...
[Intermediate Younger Toguro Enhancement: From"Ren Ren Hakusho". Requires 4000 Reward points and one B-rank side story plot. Sixty percent muscle control, allowing sixty percent of muscle strength to be exerted. Suitable for most horror movies.]
Da Qiang's Younger Toguro enhancement didn't have much to note. It was a straightforward numerical boost for a brawler.
After Ren Arakawa unlocked the Gene Lock and the second stage of the Cursed Seal, with the aid of his Sharingan, Da Qiang's close combat became his weakness, and he was completely dominated.
Ren Arakawa rubbed the bracelet on his wrist and also began to search.
[Hogwarts Luminous Bracelet: Requires 7000 Reward points and two C-rank side story plots. Continuously restores inner power, magic power, Chakra, clan energy, and other energies. Stores a Lumos flash spell to blind enemies. The stored spell can be changed to another of the same tier by spending one thousand Reward points. A B-rank side story plot can be used to upgrade the spell's tier. Can only be used once per horror movie.]
Seeing that this item actually cost seven thousand Reward points plus two precious C-rank side story plots, Ren Arakawa showed a rare smile.
The last time he had smiled like this was when he saw the notification of Meng Rene's death.
"We currently have two highly efficient paths for improvement."
"First, Enhance our Chakra reserves. In the Naruto World, having Chakra means having everything."
"Naruto was so formidable in the early stages largely because the Nine-Tails provided him with a continuous supply of Chakra."
Main God Ren Arakawa thought for a moment. "As for using Reward points and precious side story plots to exchange for these jutsu, it's a bit of a waste."
"Anyway, we have a copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi. Aside from forbidden techniques, we can get everything else for free."
Stephen Fang gently stroked his chin. "We can definitely exchange for some Chakra reserves, but don't you think a bloodline exchange might be a better option? Isn't that what Zheng Zha did?"
Main God Ren Arakawa nodded. "I do have an idea, and I'd like to hear what you all think."
As he spoke, he looked at the sphere of light, and the others saw the information.
[One-Eyed Ghoul (SSS-Class): From"Tokyo Ghoul". Requires six thousand Reward points and one B-rank side story plot. The hybrid offspring of a human and a ghoul. Upon exchange, a predatory organ, the Kagune, will be generated. Each ghoul's Kagune is different. The SSS-class comes with two Kagune. Can evolve into a Kakuja by consuming their own kind.]
