Chapter 610 610: The Gift of the King of Destiny
From its attributes, this [Trench Coat of Murciélago] was indeed considered excellent. It provided a massive enhancement to energy emission. Ideally, an 80% enhancement to all domains of energy emission had already surpassed the enhancements of most Title abilities.
And Reincarnators who entered the Third Tier definitely did not have low Energy attributes. This item could increase a Reincarnator's output intensity by a large margin.
Moreover, this cape would grant the wearer the passive ability [Hierro (A+)]. Hierro was a unique defensive ability of the [Arrancar] in the Bleach world. Based on the intensity of their Reiatsu, their skin inherently possessed extremely terrifying defensive power, unable to be broken even by an ordinary Shinigami's Zanpakuto.
This A+ rank Hierro meant the defensive power was equivalent to gaining an A+ rank defensive ability for free.
Counting the transformation ability [Resurrección], this item had an extremely high cost-performance ratio.
More importantly, this item had never been forged or modified, which meant these abilities could obtain further enhancements.
"Miss Kurushi, did that King only have you use this to trade with me?"
Greed was Kaito Shirogane's true nature. Another tube of the Flame Monarch's blood marrow appeared in his hand as he probed:
"I have another tube of a Dragon King's blood marrow in my hand. If you have suitable items, I'm willing to trade it to you together."
"Of course, a price similar to the [Blood Marrow of the King of Sky and Wind] would be fine~"
Kurushi's eyelids twitched. She grabbed that tube of some bullshit Dragon King's bloodline item on the table.
[You lost Item: Trench Coat of Murciélago]
[You obtained Item: Blood Marrow of the King of Sky and Wind]
She said crossly:
"Although I don't know what kind of madness that adult had to make this trade with you, you actually want to have this kind of good thing happen a second time?"
Having completed the task assigned by that adult, Kurushi was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the major event this Mercenary Tao had caused recently. Her tone shifted as she said:
"It seems you have your reasons for not accepting the Emerald Battle Cluster's invitation. To be able to climb to this position so quickly, you indeed possess that kind of potential."
"How about it? Do you want to join the Silver Cluster now? I can give you a... hmm, No. 3 position, how about it?!"
With her dark green twin-tails swishing, Kurushi held up one finger, which was an indirect admission of the fact that her number was above No. 3.
Kaito Shirogane, however, was somewhat lacking in interest because he failed to "take advantage." He waved his hand, signaling Jin Yue'an to see the guest out. The signature pink robe on his avatar disappeared, and in the next moment, a form-fitting pitch-black trench coat appeared on his body.
This trench coat fit his figure perfectly. The hem had a swallowtail-like design, extending to both sides and revealing the dark green lining inside.
This color scheme should have been extremely jarring, but the flowing Reishi caused faint black fog and dark green Reishi to continuously circulate at the hem of the clothes, revealing a mysterious aura.
This was also Kaito Shirogane's first time obtaining equipment that truly aligned with the massive soul power within his body. In almost an instant, he felt an intense soul power surge, integrating with this Trench Coat of Murciélago.
Golden ki whistled at Kaito Shirogane's fingertips. Hum~ Resplendent fluctuations the size of a fist flickered like stars, radiating a terrifying light that made it impossible to look away.
Kurushi was also stunned. Although she couldn't clearly feel the intensity of that ki in the personal space, at this very moment, she truly felt a sense of danger. It was a sensation like a cold, slimy snake crawling along her spine.
"Interesting..."
Kurushi turned into light and teleported away. The curve of her mouth, however, remained fresh in Jin Yue'an's memory. The last person in her memory to reveal a smile of that degree was exactly Lord Mercenary Tao!
She was about to continue speaking, but received a message again. This time, the expression on her face was no longer pleasant surprise, but turned to astonishment and suspicion. Even she perceived the existence of some kind of conspiracy.
"My Lord, [Weaver of Fate · Yaoyao] from the [Heaven's Mandate] assembly also had someone send a quote."
"She said, she wants to use a piece of information you've been inquiring about recently to exchange for the [Blood Marrow of the King of Sky and Wind] or the [Blood Marrow of the King of Bronze and Fire]..."
After Jin Yue'an finished speaking, she quietly waited for Kaito Shirogane's instructions.
Kaito Shirogane, however, did not reveal any displeased expression. On the contrary, Kaito Shirogane clapped his hands and laughed heartily; he laughed very cheerfully.
"Very good, invite her over!"
Jin Yue'an was now certain that Lord Mercenary Tao was truly very happy, because he actually used the word "invite."
Before long, a woman with her hair in a bun and wearing a red qipao appeared in Kaito Shirogane's personal space.
Kaito Shirogane looked at the other party with a bright smile, which made this woman codenamed [Yaoyao] somewhat unaccustomed. Mercenary Tao's red, grotesque, ugly face really wasn't suited to showing this kind of smile.
She awkwardly shifted her posture a few times, suspecting in her heart if the beauty of her avatar this time was enhanced a bit too much, to the extent that even a beast like Mercenary Tao was charmed by her.
Jin Yue'an and Yinian Qingsi were also puzzled. Right now, Mercenary Tao was obviously embroiled in some conspiracy, a conspiracy jointly participated in by the top organizations of the three major Spaces: [Throne of Illusions and Reality], [Azure Sky], and [Heaven's Mandate].
But instead of being angry, Mercenary Tao was this happy. This was truly abnormal.
Jin Yue'an coughed twice, signaling the trade to begin. Kaito Shirogane, however, directly spoke:
"It seems those two Kings are both unwilling to see [Azure Sky]'s plan succeed..."
Why would he be angry? Right now, the facts were already clear to him.
In order to enter Little Garden, Azure Sky intentionally hid some information. The purpose was to let him form a connection with The Primordial Dragon Court or The Living Tribunal, and the process was to allow him to enter that D45 world.
And based on his actions in the D45 world, Azure Sky's plan was highly likely considered successful.
However, the two from [Throne of Illusions and Reality] and [Heaven's Mandate] were unwilling for Azure Sky to achieve its goal too early. Therefore, they intervened. In the form of a trade, they both reminded him that there was a problem with this trade and took away the items in his hands most likely related to that plan.
This way, if Azure Sky's plan wanted to continue, unexpected twists and turns would inevitably arise.
But for Kaito Shirogane, this was completely beneficial. In the clash between the three, he was continuously reaping benefits.
Azure Sky gave him some information, and ultimately he obtained the Sephiroth;
And the Throne of Illusions and Reality and Heaven's Mandate also brought out some things.
Moreover, in the end, if that Little Garden plan still had to be realized, no matter what kind of deal these parties reached in the dark, Kaito Shirogane estimated that he himself would still be the focal point...
Ha~ This kind of thing couldn't be more wonderful to him.
Kaito Shirogane never minded being used by others. As long as he could obtain the power he wanted, anyone could drag him into various vortexes.
Of course, what he would do in the vortex and who it would affect was not something he would consider.
Kaito Shirogane smiled brightly, and looking at this woman with a curvaceous figure, his gaze softened a lot.
"It seems you indeed have a way to let me obtain the identity of a [Chosen One]?"
With a flash of light in Kaito Shirogane's hand, a pitch-black card appeared. This scene made Yinian Qingsi's breathing quicken for a moment as well.
Things like [Cards] were one of the most precious assets for any assembly. She didn't expect Tao Baibai to still have such a good thing in his hands.
Obviously, the outside world had already almost confirmed that he was the identity of [Crimson Sin]...
Is Tao Baibai going to obtain multiple Card sequences alone?
