Konoha's task master

Inside the arena, Yakumo looked at two golden balls of light.

Then he slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the golden light balls.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the exclusive weapon upgrade permission.]

"Strengthening, the chant of the Emperor of Heaven."

Yakumo knew it in his heart and made a decision in an instant.

[Tip: Strengthening completed.]

[Tip: The Emperor's Chant gains a new passive.]

[Yandei: Transformed into fire, immune to all physical attacks before being extinguished, and immune to all congratulations from the fire element. Although it is opposed to the water element, it will not be restrained by water energy. 】

Yakumo discovered that the life-saving skills evolved from Masako Mori's weapons, and the training direction is probably to be a melee tank that can be immune to most attacks?

Immediately, he clicked on the last golden ball of light.

[Congratulations to the player for getting one-third of the Heart of Hope.]

The next second, white light flowed into Yakumo's body along his fingers, and quickly became silent, as if it did not cause any changes.

Yakumo waited quietly, but more than ten seconds passed, and the integration of the heart of hope still did not produce any form of change. Although the energy existed, it seemed that it did not exist at all.

The pure white staircase was born out of thin air. It was the direct passage to the final BOSS. Yakumo set foot on the pure white staircase with great curiosity.

The light and shadow turned, but he was still in the arena space. Under his feet was the pure white floor extending for several kilometers, and above his head was the vast sky full of stars. Yakumo seemed to have not moved, and there was no change in his surroundings.

Only there was a figure in the center of the arena.

——Uchiha Runyu.

"Hello, lucky guy."

Junyu Uchiha in the center of the arena greeted Yakumo without any intention of attacking. He just sat there quietly, his eyes filled with indescribable anticipation.

"Don't you recognize me anymore? Lord Runyu?"

Yakumo used his ability to move in space and instantly appeared in the center, then sat cross-legged in front of Junyu Uchiha.

"So you have seen my true form, which means the worst thing has not happened."

After hearing Yakumo's answer, Junyu Uchiha showed genuine happiness on his face and shrugged his shoulders somewhat relaxedly.

"I saw it, what's going on?"

Yakumo's heart is far from as relaxed as he appears on the surface. If Junyu Uchiha is the twelfth-level BOSS, it means that he will not have the possibility of defeating the BOSS in the next ten years.

"Virtual energy, it should be virtual energy, right? I remember that we used this name to name this energy at the time. It has the ability to contaminate no one, even if we hope it can wash away all negative states."

Junyu Uchiha spoke with some ease, but his frowning eyebrows proved that this matter was not as simple as he showed, and his tone was full of fear when he mentioned Null Energy.

"In order to prevent the body from being eroded by virtual energy in the future and affecting the final plan, at that time I divided half of my soul into the core of the system I made, and actively blocked external contact."

"Virtual energy still exists, so what is the value of your existence?"

If the main body has really been infected by virtual energy, then this clone with half the soul can only do very limited things.

"I am responsible for using the trump cards prepared in advance to kill the main body."

Uchiha Runyu's voice had no ups and downs, as if this was a very ordinary thing, without any hint of murderous intent.

"Years ago, in order to kill yourself, you designed a secret plan, split half of your soul and sealed yourself." Yakumo said.

"Yes, that's what happened."

Uchiha Runyu nodded and admitted without any change in his tone.

"You are really awesome. You plan to kill yourself."

Yakumo said with admiration, and couldn't help but feel a little fear. Only a truly ruthless person would make such a plan for Uchiha Junyu's fear. He was also a pawn.

"Of course it's not just myself, but also other strong men who have been eroded by virtual energy. This split soul controls the supreme law of the universe, which is equivalent to being invincible in the universe." Uchiha Junyu continued.

"Then why don't you kill all the void creatures?" Yakumo asked.

"The death of void energy creatures will only create stronger void energy creatures, unless someone masters all the void energy in the entire universe, but in that case it will be equivalent to the birth of a completely uncontrollable BUG."

"Aren't you invincible in the universe?" Yakumo asked.

"That's right."

"Virtual energy corrodes everything and naturally includes the entire universe. If virtual energy is allowed to develop, the entire universe will become a virtual energy universe."

Junyu Uchiha continued to patiently explain to Yakumo that perhaps because he had been closed off for so many years, he showed great affinity and was very talkative.

“What will happen to the virtual energy universe?”

"The bloody master awakens from the sea of ​​the universe. He will destroy the entire universe with his own hands to find the true shadow in his memory."

"The ultimate goal of virtual energy is destruction?"

Yakumo was a little strange. It was like spending a lot of money and a lot of time to buy a precious toy, but his idea was to break the toy.

"You are crazy about love, and you destroyed the universe just to resurrect a woman."

Uchiha Runyu curled his lips and said with some disdain. It was obvious that he had fought with the bloody master before and was even very clear about his goal.

"What about the solution you came up with?" Yakumo continued to ask. This question may be related to the meaning of his existence, or the goal of the final copy of the game system.

"What can be accomplished after the alliance of multiple parties is very limited, because the virtual energy cannot be completely eradicated, so we thought of a plan to completely end the era of virtual energy." Uchiha Runyu replied.

"I exist to end null energy?" Yakumo asked.

"That's right."

"What's the plan?" Yakumo asked.

This question is related to the secret of the final copy.

"I don't know." Uchiha Runyu said frankly.

"You don't know?" Yakumo asked in surprise.

"I once knew it, but I took the initiative to forget that memory."

Junyu Uchiha answered with a smile, and for some reason Yakumo saw a bit of surprise in his smile that the prank had succeeded.

"Then who knows, there must be someone with knowledge of this plan, right?"

"Ontology." Uchiha Runyu replied.

"Then if he was eroded by null energy, wouldn't everyone know the secret of this plan?" Yakumo asked again.

This is obviously unreasonable. The truly safe clone does not have the memory of the entire plan, but the main body that is in danger from the outside world has the entire process of the plan.

"Then if I kill him, I can get my memory back." Uchiha Junyu said.

"The effect of virtual energy on ordinary creatures is comprehensive distortion, allowing them to gain unlimited mutation authority, and their shapes will become all kinds of strange, such as growing hundreds of eyes."

"But for the strong, its pollution affects the soul level, and it will probably create a more sinister and evil second personality, replacing the original personality, and at the same time gaining the qualification to control virtual energy."

"I still don't understand." Yakumo said helplessly.

"I can't help it, there are some things I can't tell you yet."

Although Junyu Uchiha has been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, he will never confess all the plans. After all, it involves many ninth-level experts, and Yakumo's own confidentiality is not enough at present.

"Then what else can you tell me?" Yakumo asked.

"What's the truth about the arena?"

"The truth about the arena?"

The smile on Uchiha Runyu's face faded.

"The power of hope can resist the influence of null energy, so I have spread countless seeds of hope to let them protect their hometown and resist the invasion of null energy creatures."

"When these people exhaust themselves in the battle against nullified creatures, they will face two choices. The first is to die and have no contact with the universe."

"The second is to activate the seeds of hope, copy the memory and inheritance of the whole body, transform it into an arena, and wait for those who come after you to inherit their inheritance and continue to fight against the nullified creatures."

"Buu and Mundo also fought against null creatures?" Yakumo asked.

He couldn't help but feel a little moved. He didn't expect that there was such a memory behind the arena. In this way, the areas evolved in the last few floors of the arena seemed to have experienced a war.

"I've said it all. You can think of the arena as a huge Hall of Valor, but what these people want is not eternal life, but the inheritance of their own system, so that those who come after them can inherit and strengthen the power to resist null energy."

Uchiha Runyu said that the influence of virtual energy on the universe has existed for many years. In these years, it was precisely because many people rose up to resist that the expansion of virtual energy was curbed.

The inheritance of sparks has set a prairie fire on its own.

"They are all great." Yakumo said with emotion.

"They are indeed great, but you are the key. All those people do is slow down the expansion of virtual energy. Only you can completely end virtual energy."

Uchiha Junyu patted Yakumo's shoulder and encouraged him, the smile on his face became brighter.

"If you lack a reason to continue on, then you might as well think about the arena evolving into an extremely dead planet. If you don't want your world to become like that, you must rise up and resist."

"I understand." Yakumo nodded and replied.

"What are the conditions for this floor?"

"Beat me." Junyu Uchiha replied.

"This is impossible, I don't think I can do it."

Yakumo immediately denied that although Uchiha Junyu's soul is only half, he is still a ninth-level strongman standing at the pinnacle of the universe, representing the strongest combat power in the universe.

"You should be learning Yuan Dao Technique, and the one I taught you is called Xing Yuan Ti."

Uchiha Runyu stood up, with silver starlight glowing all over his body.

"Come on, let me see your current strength."

The next second, the fist wrapped in silver light continued to expand in front of Yakumo's eyes, and the fist wind it carried seemed to break his nose bones.

"Uh-huh."

Yakumo planned to use his spatial movement ability to distance himself, but he found that his position had not moved at all. His fist hit the door, knocking the 140-pound Yakumo away like a sack.

In this attack, Uchiha Junyu held back.

Yakumo stabilized his body in mid-air and once again planned to use space movement to distance himself. This attempt still ended in failure. He seemed to have completely lost this ability.

"The star source body has the ability to restrict all space and time."

Juntama Uchiha appeared in front of Yakumo in an instant, and punched down again with a fist the size of a sandbag. Yakumo was knocked away without any resistance, and Juntama Uchiha's introduction about the Astral Body was clearly heard in his ears.

"This technique was created after I split my soul. It took me tens of thousands of years to create the most powerful physical technique. There should be no successors in the entire universe."

"Have no previous gamers been able to reach the twelfth floor?"

Yakumo blocked the Fumo in front of his face to block Junyu Uchiha's attack. Although he could not predict the enemy's moves, he could guess where the enemy planned to attack.

For some reason, this Junyu Uchiha really likes to be slapped in the face.

"Of course there is, but they all died at the last step."

Uchiha Runyu answered matter-of-factly and continued.

"."

Yakumo was speechless for a while, but he would still choose to defend, constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack, while reflecting in his mind on what Uchiha Junyu's split soul said.

"What, what are you thinking about?"

Due to his own will, the power of Uchiha Junyu's punches was well limited to the limit that Yakumo could bear. This resulted in that although he was hit many times, he could only be regarded as slightly injured.

Yakumo quickly got up from the ground and planned to take the initiative to attack.

"If my guess is correct, the final goal must be to go to a field full of null energy. Then you will enter that world with game players every time, right?"

"That's right." Uchiha Runyu stopped his attacking movements and asked.

"Since you have been to that world many times, why don't you have any memory of the last steps?" Yakumo continued to ask.

"Because when a player fails, I will take the initiative to clear his memory, and then leave the area to choose a new lucky person."

Hearing this, Runyu Uchiha asked without any hesitation, his body suspended in mid-air, his eyes very clear and calm.

"Since you have been to a world full of void energy, and have been to that world many times, how can you be sure that you have not been contaminated?"

Yakumo asked with some vigilance, and at the same time, he was ready to leave the arena at any time. At this time, the only thing he could rely on was this game system.

"System, I hope you can be reliable for once."

Junyu Uchiha, who was in mid-air, had no change in his expression when facing Yakumo's question, as if he was not surprised that Yakumo would ask this question.

"I can't tell you this, it's a secret."

Junyu Uchiha's body disappeared instantly and appeared in front of Yakumo, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face. This time he shattered Yakumo's body with just one punch.

The fragments reunited and took the form of Yakumo.

"I was impulsive this time, ugh."

Yakumo sighed, feeling that the doubts in his heart had increased a lot. The sudden appearance of the split soul and the truth about the arena made his heart no longer calm.

Bloody words emerged from the virtual space.

"Challenge failed."
