Chapter 198 Return

[300 reward points deducted, treatment complete.]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in his ears. Minato opened his eyes and found himself in a strange, empty space.

A huge sphere of light floated overhead, emitting a soft white light that illuminated the entire space.

The pain on my body disappeared without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease, and even the old wounds were completely gone.

"Is this the Main God Space?"

A voice rang out, and Minato turned his head to look. He saw Onoki floating in mid-air, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

Yagura and Ai also appeared not far away, but one person was missing.

"Where's Rasa?" Minato asked, frowning. The battle had been too chaotic, and he didn't know the details of the others.

A brief silence.

"Dead." Onoki spoke calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Killed in one blow by that monster called Big Mom."

"In that situation, anyone could have met the same fate. That guy called Big Mom is terrifyingly strong," Yagura said, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"What a pity," Minato said softly. Although they were enemies before, Rasa had indeed shown good teamwork when they carried out missions together.

"Hmph," Onoki said calmly, his hands behind his back, "Death is nothing new on the battlefield. The loss of Sunagakure is actually a good thing for us."

Yagura frowned. "What did Sunagakure say? The Kazekage suddenly disappeared during the Five Kage Summit; this is no small matter."

Raikage interrupted impatiently, "Do we even need to talk about this? We'll just find some excuse to brush it off. Anyway, nobody knows what happened, nobody knows it has anything to do with us."

Just then, the suspended orb of light emitted a soft glow, and a virtual screen slowly unfolded in front of the four of them.

[Task Settlement]

Minato's eyes were glued to the screen, and he frowned slightly when he saw the mission details: "This is..."

[World: One Piece]

Genre: Fantasy

[Level: 6]

[Task Evaluation: A]

Main quest completed: [Steal Big Mom's Vivre Card: 15000 Reward Points]

"Your actions caused chaos within the World of Warcraft, successfully infiltrated and stole the target item, and engaged in a direct confrontation with the Yonko Big Mom during the evacuation. Although there were casualties, the mission was ultimately accomplished."

Side quest settlement:

[Kill Cracker: 13000 reward points]:

"During the breakout battle, Cracker suffered severe injuries and did not receive timely treatment, ultimately dying from excessive blood loss. This will seriously weaken the Big Mom Pirates' fighting strength."

[Kidd's death: 11000 reward points]

"Your appearance has changed the trajectory of Kidd's destiny, and this change will have a profound impact on the future."

[Destroy Whole Cake Island: 5000 Bonus Points]

"During the battle, you caused severe damage to Whole Cake Island, impacting the foundation of the Big Mom Pirates' rule."

………………

Minato's gaze swept over the numbers displayed at the bottom of the screen: 43000 reward points. That was all the rewards he had gained from this mission. But what exactly were these points for?

"God," Minato looked up at the sphere of light in mid-air, "you said that completing the mission would bring back the lost people. How exactly do we do that?"

A mechanical voice echoed in my mind:

Complete tasks to earn reward points and explore countless worlds. Each world offers unique items that can be exchanged.

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of light flashed before Minato's eyes, and a separate virtual interface unfolded in front of him.

Minato's gaze quickly swept over the dazzling array of goods:

Soul-Soul Fruit

[Rank: Five Stars]

[Description: Big Mom's Devil Fruit ability. She can manipulate souls, imbuing objects with them and giving them life. She can also steal lifespans from others and create weapons with unique abilities. The user can also heal injuries by consuming their own soul.]

[Exchange Points: 64000]

…………

Mirror-Mirror Fruit

[Rank: Four Stars]

[Description: Brûlée's Devil Fruit ability. She can create and enter mirror worlds, freely traveling between them. She can also bring others into these mirror worlds, making her an extremely unique ability user.]

[Exchange Points: 40000]

"I see." A look of understanding flashed in Minato's eyes; these were abilities they had encountered before.

But the most critical problem has not yet been solved.

"God, do you have any items that can revive the dead?" Minato asked, looking up at the ball of light in mid-air.

The Mysterious Shop can refresh the exchange options from different worlds. You can refresh the item list once by paying 100 reward points.

The moment the mechanical sound rang out, the virtual interface in front of Minato suddenly flickered violently.

The originally simple list expanded instantly, with densely packed products scrolling like a waterfall.

Minato's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze quickly swept over each item:

"The Breathing Techniques of Demon Slayer."

"Machine technology in Pacific Rim."

"The Ancient Martial Arts Legacy of the Corpse Brother World"

The goods are dazzling and diverse, numbering probably over a hundred, each carrying the characteristics of a different world.

Some of them were even completely beyond his comprehension. But what he was looking for was not among them.

"No." Minato frowned. "There isn't a single item related to resurrection."

Do you need to refresh the product list? Each refresh costs 100 reward points. Adding a product to your redemption shop requires 200 reward points.

Minato paused for a moment, glancing at the 43000 reward points he had just earned. A mere 100 points meant nothing to him now.

"Refresh." Minato made the decision decisively.

The image distorted for a moment, then new products appeared. This time, a special product came into view:

[Item: Dragon Ball Usage Permission]

[Source: Dragon Ball]

[Rank: Nine Stars]

[Description: A magical item from the Dragon Ball world. Collecting all seven Dragon Balls allows you to summon Shenron and grant your wish.]

Price: 200 million reward points

"Two million," Minato repeated the number in a low voice, which was an astronomical figure compared to the reward points he currently had.

"Join the store." Minato made the decision quickly.

Although 200 million exchange points are still a long way off.

But at least it gave him a glimmer of hope; there were indeed products in the myriad worlds that could revive people.

He would go to any lengths, even if it meant traversing countless worlds, to save Kushina.

"Besides completing missions, are there any other ways to earn reward points?" Minato looked up at the sphere of light in mid-air.

Selling knowledge can also earn you reward points.

Minato's eyes lit up. As the Fourth Hokage, he possessed a vast array of ninjutsu and sealing techniques; this might be an opportunity.

"Then let's try some commonly used ninjutsu first," Minato said in a low voice, beginning his attempt to sell.

[Retrieval Failed: The Shadow Clone Technique already exists and cannot be retrieved again.]

[Retrieval Failed: The Substitution Jutsu already exists and cannot be retrieved again.]

Several failures occurred in succession, but this was indeed expected, since it was already known that Madara Uchiha had come to the Main God Space.

Some common ninjutsu techniques have certainly already been sold.

Minato thought for a moment, then said, "I want to sell the Rasengan."

[Rank A Ninjutsu: Rasengan, successfully retrieved, gaining 800 exchange points.]

"Wind Release: Rasengan"

[S-Rank Ninjutsu: Wind Release: Rasengan, successfully retrieved. Received 1500 exchange points.]

Afterwards, Minato tried several forbidden techniques from the Book of Seals.

"The Corpse Demon Seal is Complete".

[Authentication failed: This knowledge has already been recorded]

"The Four Symbols Seal in the Inner Layer".

[Authentication failed: This knowledge has already been recorded]

……

"Strange." Minato frowned. Many of the ninjutsu in the forbidden scroll were unknown even to Madara Uchiha, so why had they already been sold?

Could it be that others have also entered the Main God Space?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: he remembered Uchiha Fugaku, whom he had met in the ninja world.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The special summoned beasts and ninja tools that the opponent displayed at that time were clearly not products that should exist in the ninja world.

"Could it be..." Minato's eyes narrowed, a thoughtful look in them, "that Fugaku is also a reincarnator?"

This conjecture startled Minato. If it were true, it would mean that it wasn't just their group that was carrying out the reincarnation mission.

So how many reincarnators are there in the ninja world? Why haven't they revealed themselves yet? What is their purpose? A series of questions flashed through Minato's mind.

However, Minato quickly shook his head, suppressing his chaotic thoughts. It was too early to think about these things now. The most important thing right now was to improve his strength. Other matters could be investigated slowly.

At this moment, Minato looked at the main god's sphere of light with a slightly complicated expression. He still had one last batch of knowledge that he could sell: the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan that Kushina had taught him.

"The Eight Trigrams Seal," Minato whispered.

[S-Rank Ninjutsu: Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique, a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, successfully retrieved. Received 1000 exchange points.]

[S-Rank Ninjutsu: Myōjinmon, a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, successfully retrieved. Received 1300 exchange points.]

………………

Soon, sealing techniques were uploaded one after another. Including the ninjutsu he had sold before, his points had increased by more than 30,000, which was enough to buy some goods.

"Next, let's see what's suitable," Minato said, carefully browsing the product list.

Suddenly, an object caught his attention.

[Practice Method: Taiyi Nourishing Qi Technique]

[Source: Corpse Brother World]

[Rank: Five Stars]

[Introduction: An ancient cultivation technique that focuses on cultivating one's innate Qi. It allows one to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into true Qi, storing it within the body for later use. At advanced levels, one can project this true Qi externally, injuring enemies from a distance.]

[Exchange Points: 65000]

[Note: Upon redemption, you will receive True Qi equivalent to a fourth-tier combat power]

"This technique..." Minato's eyes lit up. This technique was surprisingly similar to Sage Mode.

If one can store Sage Chakra in their dantian, there's no need to spend time preparing before each battle.

Looking back on the battle in Tales of Souls, if I had been able to use Sage Mode back then, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

"But this price..." Minato looked at the exchange points, frowned slightly, then suddenly remembered something and immediately spoke up:

"God, can I just buy the theoretical part of the cultivation technique? I don't need to exchange it for the internal energy realm?"

[Yes, the theoretical part of the cultivation method requires 10000 reward points.]

"Exchange it," Minato said without hesitation.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into his mind. Minato closed his eyes, carefully absorbing this profound knowledge.

Minato's brow gradually relaxed. The cultivation method of this technique is similar to the circulation of chakra, and many aspects can be learned by analogy.

Moreover, the technique details how to convert external energy into one's own, which is exactly what he needs.

He then continued browsing the product list, and soon, a Devil Fruit radiating a mysterious light appeared before him.

"This is."

Minato focused intently, carefully reading the fruit's description. While this fruit wasn't a top-tier ability, it would significantly enhance his fighting style.

"Crack!"

A piercing clap of thunder exploded nearby, interrupting Minato's thoughts.

He turned his head and saw that a ball of black lightning was gathering in Lei Ying's right hand, with arcs of electricity jumping between his palms and making crackling sounds.

The lightning ball exuded a chilling aura, completely different from ordinary lightning release; its pure destructive power caused the air to subtly distort.

"Thunder God-Slaying Magic"

The Raikage waved his hand, dispelling the lightning: "The original price was too high, but exchanging for just a few techniques is enough to strengthen my Lightning Release."

"Speaking of improving strength," Onoki suddenly spoke, his tone grave, "what level do you think Uchiha Madara has reached now?"

This sentence suddenly made the atmosphere in the space heavy.

According to information gleaned from the tavern, Madara's bounty has reached a staggering 80 billion Berries.

Big Mom's bounty of just over four billion was enough to make them unable to resist.

"If he has also obtained the power of other worlds," the Raikage said, arms crossed, his face grim, "combined with his already terrifying strength, he has probably reached an unimaginable level."

"Should we continue fighting him?" Yagura asked.

Silence filled the space. Everyone fell into deep thought. Facing Uchiha Madara, who was almost at the pinnacle of power, did they really still have a chance of winning?

"How will we know if we don't try?" The Raikage suddenly slammed his fist into the air, his voice filled with anger. "Are we just going to let him do whatever he wants? Just hand over the village's tailed beasts to him?"

"But..." Yagura hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"The Raikage is right," Minato said in a deep voice, his eyes resolute. "We still have a chance. No matter how powerful Madara Uchiha is, he's just one person. But we have the power of the entire ninja world."

"That makes sense." Onoki nodded. "Rather than sitting and waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble."

"Then it's settled." Minato looked around at everyone. "First, exchange for the items you need, and then return to the ninja world immediately. We don't have much time left."

The others nodded in agreement and began selecting items that suited them on the virtual interface.

Once everything was ready, Minato took a deep breath: "Return."

[Would you choose to return to the moment you left?]

"Yes."

………………

One Piece World

A somber atmosphere hung over the entire world. Before the Dessert Castle, countless grains of rice surged from the ground, forming a pure white platform. Cracker lay quietly atop it, surrounded by a multitude of candies and desserts.

My mother once said that their family's funerals were so sweet they would bring tears to your eyes.

"I'm sorry, Cracker," Takuri said softly, his voice a little hoarse. "It's my fault for not protecting you."

"Why?" Brulee sat in her wheelchair, tears streaming down her face.

Her legs had completely lost sensation, and the doctor said the electric current had damaged her nerves, which even the best medical Devil Fruit user could not fully repair.

Perospero stood aside, watching his younger brother and sister.

"Big brother," Montdor said, his voice heavy as he approached his elder brother, "What about Mother?"

"She already knows," Perospero shook his head, "but right now Mom's furious, and nobody dares to come near her."

In the distance, Big Mom's furious roar echoed from the castle, accompanied by a deafening boom.

Having lost his most beloved son, this Yonko's rage had reached its peak.

"I swear," Katakuri said, looking at Cracker's body, "that they will pay for this. No matter where they run, no matter how long it takes."

His fist was wreathed in jet-black Armament Haki, and streaks of black lightning appeared.

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind...
