Wood Leaf Village, Mobile Unit Station.
"Jiraiya, are you alright?"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, whose head was covered in coarse white hair, and asked in confusion.
Jiraiya shook his head and simply recounted how he had performed a Huangquan Task after dying, saved the world with Eren, and finally exchanged the Giant World with the Game.
Asuma's eyes lit up, and he said, "So, dying in the new season isn't a punishment; instead, it allows us to win over more allies?"
As the greatest contributor to saving Eren,
Eren, the City Lord of Giant Town within the Game, treated Jiraiya as a permanent ally, even signing a contract, willing to form an alliance with Wood Leaf.
Normally, two factions would not sign such a close, unbreakable contract.
Such contracted allies truly need to sacrifice reward points and players to support each other in any matter.
It's only in situations like the world being on the verge of destruction that such complete trust and an alliance can be formed.
"You can't say that,"
Jiraiya shook his head with a bitter smile, still feeling lingering fear, "If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't want to die again."
"The selection for Huangquan Tasks involves tentatively accepting random tasks from each deceased soul. This time, I was lucky; the [Giant] world for the Huangquan Task was a relatively low-level world, which I could completely crush after unsealing my strength."
"But, if it were a high-level world…"
Asuma fell silent.
He also understood what Jiraiya meant.
Ever since Erza, Kikyo, and a certain pink-haired Anya snatched the first kill of the Corpse Dragon, new worlds had been exposed to major powers like the Ninja World and the Navy Alliance.
[Tier 2] worlds,
Although it's unclear what power level Erza and Kikyo are at in their respective worlds, they can match the strongest current players without needing to be exchanged, simply by relying on their world's inherent abilities.
This is enough to show the depth of the Otherworld.
If a Huangquan Task, taken rashly after death, were to be set in such a high-level world, even they would face the risk of death.
Asuma sighed, "No matter what, Lord Jiraiya, you have created better conditions for Wood Leaf and are a hero of Wood Leaf."
Currently,
the major factions within the Reincarnation Game are scrambling for people. The Demon Slayer Corps and Claymore Organization from the Demon Slayer and Claymore worlds have been offered extremely generous terms.
Yashiki Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, is a very clever man. He handed over the entire Demon Slayer Corps, along with all Demon Slayer players, to Whitebeard, refusing the Navy Alliance.
He didn't want his children to be forcibly sent to the battlefield. After careful consideration, he preferred that his children freely choose their will to fight.
The leader of the Claymore Organization, however, is an ambitious fellow, willing to become an Otherworld commander for the Navy Alliance, leveraging his ability to continuously produce [Claymore] Silver-Eyed Witches to gain benefits and assets from the Navy Alliance.
They are growing stronger day by day.
After all, all exchange abilities in the Reincarnation Game do not have reproductive capabilities.
Just like the Uchiha Clan bloodline that someone from Cloud Hidden Village tried to exchange, the exchanger could utilize the Uchiha Clan's abilities, but they couldn't pass them down to others.
Therefore, low-level worlds capable of producing formidable [Claymore] warriors are all highly sought after.
The major factions of the Reincarnation Game have evolved from competing for monsters to engaging in dual-front warfare.
They are not only snatching monsters but also prioritizing the acquisition of newly appearing players, communicating with the power holders of the Otherworld behind them, and thus extending their reach.
"Let's hope so."
Jiraiya frowned tightly; his forehead was throbbing, and his precognitive ability was giving a warning, as if something bad was about to happen.
Just then, a member of the Shadow Organization suddenly appeared, standing unceremoniously in the center of the Mobile Unit station, and said coldly, "Jiraiya, the Hokage has requested your presence."
…
Death Tower, shallow level.
Various monsters roamed, and roars occasionally echoed.
All kinds of monsters from the Arad continent, as well as the remaining zombies from the Zombie World, were all transported to the lowest level by some special force.
It was like a dungeon.
Players would be transported into the Death Tower, like a [dungeon], as soon as they left the Reincarnation Game's town.
"I bet two glasses of spirit wine that the winner will be that young man with black hair."
The Moonlight Tavern was bustling with activity.
Mei Terumi, with her reddish-brown hair elegantly pinned up, revealing a delicate face, looking graceful and intellectual like a noble lady, watched the television screen hanging high in the tavern.
Her emerald green eyes showed a look of interest.
"Is that so? You truly have good taste, Ms. Mei Terumi."
The speaker was Socia, the owner of the Moonlight Tavern. With one arm crossed over her chest and the other holding a glass of crimson wine, she smiled slightly at the comment.
She was the last elf of Gran Forest.
Ever since the Arad continent was polluted and attacked, and then saved by the Game Merchant, she also gained the qualification to become a player.
But she didn't like fighting and killing. Elves are a peace-loving race, so she continued her usual habit of running this Moonlight Tavern.
Because of the rules set by the Game Merchant, no matter how powerful a customer was, they were not allowed to cause trouble in the safe zone, which was the Game town.
Unless the City Lord was willing to change the Game town to a war state.
However, the Princess of Hendon Myre shared her view. Although [war state] could rapidly strengthen a faction to the greatest extent, it also meant losing the Game's protection. Instead of competing and snatching, it was better to quietly maintain a safe zone and coexist with the Reincarnation Game.
Therefore, the Moonlight Tavern quickly became the most lively tavern on the first floor of the Death Tower.
Mei Terumi retorted, "Don't call me 'Ms.' when I'm not married."
Socia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "With Miss Mei Terumi's strength, it's probably hard to find a man who catches your eye. If you were to look, you'd have to find someone as mysterious and powerful as Mr. Game Merchant, wouldn't you?"
As one of the earliest players, Mei Terumi constantly kept up with the updates of the Reincarnation Game, never falling behind.
It's not to say there are no men who match her strength, but there are certainly not many, and none of them are compatible with her.
"If the Game Merchant is willing, then of course I can."
Mei Terumi also laughed, but it was purely a joke; she had no such ambition to marry above her station.
Although, according to those who had close contact with the Game Merchant, like Tsunade and Este's, the Game Merchant had never deliberately refused contact with female players.
But there was no need to say more; the gap between them was too vast, like a naive young girl fantasizing about marrying a god—the probability was slim.
However,
Mei Terumi shifted her gaze, looking at the luxurious upper floor of the tavern, where several players of similar strength to herself were seated, and secretly shook her head.
Akainu, wearing a Navy hat, with a stern face, seemingly ready to fight anyone at any moment.
Whitebeard, with a crescent-shaped mustache, over five meters tall, and quite old.
Aokiji, with a messy head of curly hair and a lazy expression, and Red-Haired Shanks next to him, with a scruffy beard and covered in wine stains…
They really didn't inspire any interest in marriage.
Suddenly,
the door to the upper floor of the tavern was pushed open. Tsunade walked into the tavern with a gloomy expression and found a seat by herself.
Behind her followed a man who looked gentle and refined, with an apologetic expression.
"I apologize, Lady Tsunade."
Aizen shook his head apologetically, "I never imagined that the Hokage would do such a thing, actually imprisoning Lord Jiraiya, who saved the Giant World, in a cell."
