Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 15: Classic Combinations in Another World

what does this mean?
This means it can be used in both combat and magic, it means CC+C=B. It means that the moment Si Ming clenched his fist, the surging, rolling dark battle qi within his body had already transformed into a boiling tide.

'call--'

A strong wind suddenly arose.

The gene lock opened smoothly, finally controlling the surge of dark battle qi within Si Ming's body caused by the attribute transformation. As always, it remained under his control, gathering in his lower abdomen, dantian, while he was fully focused.

The sheer volume caused a change in form. In an instant, an unstable, dark vortex was formed within Si Ming's body.

It was highly unstable, crumbling at the slightest touch. But this also meant it had reached a new level in the realm of battle qi. The next moment, Si Ming exhaled and unleashed a powerful punch towards the open space directly in front of him!
'Boom—'

A cloud of twilight-colored gas erupted violently from his fist, tearing the ground slightly across a distance of several meters. A crater the size of a bowl exploded open, accompanied by a shower of rock fragments.

Release your fighting spirit, unleash the Hundred-Step Divine Fist.

He mastered the technique of projecting his battle aura long ago, able to shoot it out and also imbue it with physical objects. However, before, the power of his projected aura was only enough to scare away birds and insects, but now it has the close-range killing effect equivalent to a large-caliber firearm.

'Boom—' The vortex within his body suddenly contracted. Just before the vortex collapsed, the released battle qi abruptly flowed back—the reason why high-level battle qi uses the vortex as a sign of advancement is because it can greatly increase the circulation and return speed of battle qi. Slight improvements in quality and quantity alone cannot compare to the difference at the level of mechanism.

"call……"

The vortex dispersed, then gathered again within Siming's body, seemingly about to converge once more. CC+C ultimately cannot be completely equivalent to B. Some additional improvements are needed to establish a firm foothold in this field.

"It requires the skill of using fighting spirit, the elixir to replenish qi, or even rare and precious materials."

Si Ming knew that what he had cultivated was most likely not 'battle qi' at all, but since it could manifest battle qi vortexes and radiate them outwards, it meant that at least 'qi'-based martial arts were probably compatible with it. If martial arts were usable, auxiliary resources could naturally be used as well. And…

With a thought, the dark battle aura transformed back into necromantic energy. The ritual materials procured from the main god descended once more. And this time, a full three... no, four skeleton soldiers were successfully summoned according to Siming's will.

The necromantic aura returned, and the skeletons once more turned into bones. More summoned undead brought back even more fragmented pieces. This made continuous use of summoning spells difficult.

It needs adjustment, it needs purification. Or perhaps...

"Change".

Shift, and shift again. Death energy transforms into battle energy, battle energy transforms into death energy. The vortex of battle energy easily clears away the fragments that caused the deathly aura to become inert. Even though some conversion time is still required in between, this still signifies one thing.

High-speed air return, regardless of the type of air.

"Heh." Si Ming chuckled. "Looks like I've become one of those wicked dual-enhancement humans too."

At this point, he could already be considered a supermodel. But Si Ming was a pragmatic person who was not content with the status quo; he wanted to acquire and verify even more.

A sphere appeared in his hand.

That was his first acquisition in the AVP world—the Sharingan eyeball with a single tomoe. Aside from being largely useless in the final battle, this eyeball proved quite useful in dealing with the alien siege and infiltrating the US military base. And now, it had essentially reached the limit of its usability.

The eyeball was now merely a keepsake; one more activation and it would turn to dust. But its very existence had already proven a fact to Si Ming: his Night Battle Qi possessed the power to revitalize inanimate objects, even supernatural abilities.

Do regular fighting spirit possess this function? — Perhaps some special types of advanced, specialized fighting spirit possess this activation effect. He initially made that attempt simply because there was a similar scenario in the original Naruto manga, where a harvested Sharingan was placed inside a crow to remotely cast genjutsu. But now, looking back, he immediately realizes that chakra and fighting spirit are fundamentally different!
and so……

Give it a try.

"God, exchange for a... the corpse of a wind-attribute demonic wolf."

— [Accepted.]

Two hundred reward points were spent, and the corpse of a giant wolf, pure white with not a single blemish in its fur, still faintly exuding a chilling aura even in death, appeared before Si Ming. He waited, and after the newly formed battle qi vortex cleansed away all impurities, it transformed back into a deathly aura. Then, he summoned it.

The white wind wolf staggered to its feet, awakening the corpse at the cost of the necromantic energy equivalent to two skeleton soldiers. Under Siming's command, it ran and dodged, displaying speed and power befitting its price. But that was all it could do.

"Use wind blasts on the ground ahead."

The instruction was issued, but there was no response.

The Wind Demon Wolf, its eyes glowing with a dark light, stood there quietly. Now a corpse, it possessed only the ability to control its muscles and bones.

Si Ming walked over. He reached out and touched the Wind Demon Wolf's body. The remaining half of the necromantic aura between its brows transformed into Night Battle Qi. This transformed power then seeped into the corpse, much like when Si Ming used the 'External Battle Qi' technique.

He quickly located the corresponding supernatural organ: a necrotic area in the wolf's chest and lung region that had previously been deactivated. However, when he injected his Night Battle Qi, this necrotic part was reactivated, releasing a clear energy reaction.

He issued the same command again. This time, the awakened demon wolf under his control suddenly raised its head, and energy surged again from the depleted energy circuits within its body—

'boom--'

A spiraling blast of wind erupted from the wolf's mouth. Its power was as devastating as anything Si Ming had witnessed before, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks. Neither his Night Battle Qi nor the activated supernatural wolf organ suffered any damage from this attack.

So that's how it is. When the corpse is intact, it's not just the organs that are activated, but the entire energy system is temporarily activated as well. Therefore, the burden of energy consumption becomes the entire demon wolf's body, not its battle aura or supernatural organs. And if that's the case…

The fighting spirit of the night surged into his brain.

The next moment, the eerie light in the wolf's eyes intensified considerably. Clearly, the entire wolf became even more swift and agile as a result.

It is thus able to execute some complex commands. The ability to infiltrate and employ tactics—which is a bit challenging, like performing a four-legged tap dance on tiptoe—is undeniably a crucial achievement.

"The aura of the dead can be improved by cultivating in the graveyard. As for battle qi, it can be improved through diet, qi circulation, or by using elixirs and treasures."

Reincarnators almost never go to peaceful worlds; they have plenty of time to make contact with things like cemeteries and mass graves. But this is a time-consuming and tedious process, so if you want to maximize efficiency, you should start from another angle.

He thought about it.

"God, give me all the relevant information about the Alien and Predator series."

A large number of documents were projected onto the desk that Si Ming had purchased for 1 reward point. They were automatically entered into the high-performance office computer that came with the desk, making it convenient for Si Ming to read them.

Some intelligence was confirmed, and some conjectures were verified. Of course, the most crucial thing was the secret of the third generation in his memory. Deep within the ruins beneath the abandoned Antarctic research station, there was a precious treasure known as the 'Divinity of Death'.

He would choose to summon the necromancer's enhancement, and this hidden divinity played a significant role in that decision. And naturally, he would then take action to acquire this treasure.

"It doesn't necessarily have to go to Antarctica. There are many places on Earth where Predator relics remain. Perhaps they have all been wiped out in the explosions of a failed hunt. But the Mayan and Aztec civilization relics in Central America will always be able to give me some extra insights."

Even if you don't have that, you can still go to Africa or the Middle East. AVP1 and 2 both take place in 04, a time when Earth was not short of war. By participating in these events, your skills can be honed, and the large number of corpses and skeletons you come into contact with can also amplify your necromantic aura.

Therefore, a suitable identity is needed.

He quickly found the corresponding entry in the entertainment section of the exchange list. Reincarnators are granted a native identity by the main god upon arriving in the reincarnation world. However, this identity can be adjusted to a certain extent by using certain items.

—【Identity Adjustment Card—A special item that can be used by reincarnators when traveling to conquered worlds. It grants a designated identity that is not related to the world's theme. Before destroying the card or actively revealing their identity, the reincarnator will passively acquire this new identity in that world. This item is for one-time use and does not affect interpersonal relationships within the world's lore.】

These small cards, costing 200 points each, seem like something for leisure and relaxation. They certainly can't make you an alien or a Predator in the AVP world, or anyone closely related to them. And since they don't involve adjusting interpersonal relationships, it means that even if you used this card to obtain the position of President of the United States, no one would support or recognize it; they would only think the system had malfunctioned. The same effect would naturally occur with sects or organizations in high-difficulty worlds.

"But it's enough for me to become an archaeologist specializing in ancient civilizations... no, an explorer would be more suitable."

With a new identity, one can naturally use various means of transportation normally and will no longer be involved in the alien disaster in that Colorado town. Furthermore, the survivor who witnessed everything in the first AVP movie is also a world-renowned top explorer. When necessary, this connection can be used to attempt contact with her.

So, the next essential item should be—

—【Dimensional Ring—Originating from a 'pan-fantasy' world, this is a spatial item that has no additional functions and is simply used to store items. The item remembers the energy frequency of the first user and, upon binding, opens a standard spherical space with a radius of three meters. There is no concept of time flow within this space, but it is insufficient to sustain a living individual with sentience.】

—【To redeem this item, you need to complete one D-rank side quest and earn 1500 reward points.】

He waved his hand, and the skeleton soldiers and the demon wolves were placed into the summoning space that the necromancy enhancement came with—a small space filled with negative energy. While it could maintain the necromancy's state and restore its damage, it would also cause serious negative energy corrosion to other items.

Therefore, I need to buy an extra ring, which will provide a suitable place for the guns, explosives, medicines, food, precious metals, etc. that I will need to buy later. In addition to this, there is the purchase of upgrade pills.

—【Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill—originating from the 'Battle Through the Heavens' universe, it can significantly boost the Dou Qi level of users from C to B level Dou Qi, as well as those with Dou Qi-like abilities. This pill is a perfect specimen; side effects and uncertainties have been eliminated. To exchange for this item, one D-level side quest is required, along with 1000 reward points.】

In this way, most of the side quests will have been used up.

What remains is the last crucial item.

"God, I want to buy a dead burrowing worm!"
