"Killing him will make your thoughts clear."
What surprised Stella was that Tatsuma gave an unexpected answer.
"What does that mean?"
"It means exactly what it says."
To make Stella become a Desperado as quickly as possible, Carl had been sending people to target the Vermilion Empire all these years.
Although Stella grew up successfully, Vermilion was greatly affected.
The invasion of the Liberation Army, the terrorist attacks of Claw, the economic suppression by the United States...
Under the influence of multiple factors, many people in Vermilion died because of this.
Spending several minutes, Tatsuma told Stella all these things.
"Now I ask you, after knowing what Carl has done, will you forgive him?"
"No."
Stella gave the answer without hesitation.
Desperado were beings who had broken free from the shackles of fate, and more or less had their own obsessions.
If Carl's obsession was to make all humans evolve and achieve a feat surpassing gods, then Stella's obsession was to protect Vermilion and make the people on that land live a happy life.
Carl's actions could be said to be stomping on her minefield. It would have been fine if she didn't know, but if she knew, she would try to kill the other party no matter what.
The moment this thought arose, Tatsuma's actions became clear.
Looking at the man in front of her, a peculiar emotion flashed in Stella's eyes.
"Thank you, Tatsuma."
"It's nothing. Since you are my subordinate, I will naturally help you solve problems."
Tatsuma left a clone to clean up the scene and returned to Vermilion with Stella.
At this moment, night had fallen upon Vermilion, and a full moon hung high in the sky.
"You must be tired after fighting all day, go get some rest."
Although Senjutsu could restore physical strength, mental fatigue required rest.
Tatsuma prepared to leave and return to the Underworld.
However, just then, Stella reached out and grabbed his arm, her gaze flickering.
"Don't go yet, I... cough! I encountered some problems in combat today and wanted to ask for your guidance."
"Hmm?"
Tatsuma raised an eyebrow, the demonic power on his body dissipating.
He wasn't an idiot, so he naturally understood what Stella's action represented.
"Since you say so, then I'll take some time to guide you."
The bright moonlight shone into the room through the window.
Tatsuma took out the Holy Sword and patiently guided Stella, imparting knowledge and wisdom.
Time flowed, the moon set, and the sun rose.
After using Senjutsu to help Stella improve her sleep quality, Tatsuma opened his Trait inventory.
Although most of the traits dropped by the Liberation Army were white and green, during the subsequent clearing of the United States military bases, Abrahams dropped many purple traits.
Coupled with the traits he obtained when he went to intimidate Hades yesterday, Tatsuma's inventory was once again full of materials.
Leaving behind some traits that might be useful, Tatsuma clicked to synthesize the remaining traits with one click.
Alert sounds constantly echoed in his ears, and the materials in the inventory plummeted.
After a moment, nine golden shimmering traits appeared before him.
"This is a little more than expected." A hint of surprise appeared in Tatsuma's eyes.
Before synthesizing, his expectation was six to seven gold traits. He didn't expect to be able to gather nine.
With one more gold trait, he could get a new Rainbow trait.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have obtained a useless gold trait yesterday."
His gaze swept across the gold trait area, and Tatsuma quickly found his target.
[Desperado (Gold): The soul surpasses the human limit, Magic Power can grow infinitely with training, and it can exert absolute suppression on enemies who feel fear.]
This trait was dropped after Est made a move yesterday and killed Or-Gaule.
The power of a Desperado is beyond doubt. For ordinary people, this trait is definitely a power that can change their fate. But for Tatsuma, the effect of this trait is very limited.
With Limitless Potential, his magic power could grow infinitely from the beginning.
As for exerting absolute suppression on those who feel fear, this effect would be good for fishing. But in fact, Tatsuma does not lack fishing methods.
Whether it is Magic or Senjutsu, they can annihilate enemies on a large scale, which can be called a godly skill in terms of AoE attacks.
Throwing the Desperado Trait into the material area, Tatsuma successfully gathered ten gold traits as materials.
[Trait upgrade successful, congratulations on obtaining the Rainbow Trait: Entity Clone]
[Entity Clone (Rainbow): Consumes a certain amount of energy to create an entity clone. The more energy injected, the higher the physical stats of the clone. The physical stats of the clone can be increased up to 300% of the main body, and it possesses all the abilities of the main body.]
[Note: The entity clones cannot withstand Black traits.]
Along with the alert sound, Tatsuma upgraded the Physical Clone Trait to the Rainbow level.
He was self-aware of his recent actions. Many people would come to trouble him next, and a large number of conflicts would occur.
Upgrading Physical Clone to the Rainbow level could not only maximize his combat effectiveness but also solve the problem of being unable to cope with multiple tasks. Even if some sudden situation really occurred, he could split himself into multiple parts to use.
"Not bad."
After testing the Rainbow level Entity Clone, Tatsuma raised his hand and summoned a revolver.
[Darwin (Gold): Injecting a certain amount of energy can summon the Device Darwin, which can analyze the structure of the target and transform into different creatures.]
[Darwin] was the gold trait he had obtained after killing Carl.
Although the trait description was very brief, Tatsuma saw the potential for development after reading it.
Injecting magic power into the revolver, the handgun turned into a mass of blood and merged into Tatsuma's body.
The trait effect activated, and Tatsuma began to analyze his own body structure.
Buzz!
Seeming to sense the invasion of an external object, [God of Devils and Dragons] showed a faint tendency to activate.
Tatsuma suppressed it and continued to control Darwin to analyze.
Ten minutes later, Darwin successfully analyzed a corner of [God of Devils and Dragons], and vast information was transmitted into his mind.
Staring at these genetic information for a few seconds, Tatsuma silently stopped the analysis and rubbed his forehead.
Hmm... I don't understand.
This was like a primary school student being asked to solve the Riemann Hypothesis after memorizing the multiplication table. The content was too profound to be understood at all.
As expected, learning is very important.
Recalling what Natsuki had said, Tatsuma couldn't help but sigh.
Stopping the analysis of [God of Devils and Dragons], Tatsuma changed traits and tried to analyze some other bloodlines.
Witch Bloodline, Deva Bloodline, Vampire Bloodline, Arthur Pendragon Bloodline....
For the sake of training efficiency, Tatsuma had a large number of bloodline traits that increased training effect. Compared to [God of Devils and Dragons], the genetic information of other bloodlines was much simpler.
Of course, simple is relative. In fact, it was still somewhat difficult for Tatsuma to understand, and it was completely incomprehensible without systematic learning.
"It seems I can't use it for now."
Tatsuma threw [Darwin] into the inventory.
His vision was not wrong, this trait did possess great potential. But unfortunately, his knowledge reserves were problematic.
Before his knowledge reserves were improved, this trait could not exert its proper effect for the time being.
