Although Levi, born in China in his past life, had a bottom line, he was by no means a bleeding-heart saint.
From beginning to end, he paid no attention to the look of terror on Filvis's face. After completing the advancement of her Creature Level, he simply reinforced the Elsoth Ruins, which had been converted into a laboratory, while waiting for the Hōgyoku's cooldown time to end.
Seven hours later.
The surface of the Hōgyoku, fused with his soul, lit up with a glistening white light.
In the next instant, all monster drop materials related to blood and hearts in his Inventory vanished, and his reserve of Law Crystals dropped from 63 to 60.
In return, Levi's Falna, which had been upgraded less than half a month ago, welcomed another metamorphosis.
[Main Quest: 'Raise Falna Level to Lv.7' completed. Now distributing rewards...]

Before breaking his limits, Levi's base stats had already reached the standard of a mid-tier Lv.9.
Now, as his Falna stepped into the Lv.7 threshold, bolstered by the Tenacity set, Two-Phase Divine Power, and the Constellation Stars of his Constellation, his total Ability Stats were enough to touch the corners of Lv.10.
Moreover, having just completed the level up, he hadn't even had time to select a Development Ability yet.
Approximately five seconds later, the Five-dimensional Ability Stats on his character panel all increased by one point.
At ten seconds, a second point was added.
Then the third point, fourth point, fifth point...
Next, he only needed to wait two to three days for his five attributes—Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic—to reach the limit of Lv.7 under the tempering of Two-Phase Divine Power, which was 3799 points!
At that time...
Levi narrowed his eyes.
He was considering whether he should run to the Dragon's Valley and finish off the Black Dragon now, while he hadn't yet been completely banned by the Dungeon's will.
However, he quickly abandoned this choice.
According to scholarly papers in the Orario Public Library, the One-Eyed Black Dragon was, at the very least, a Lv.10 monster.
Coupled with the fact that it was a 'God's Assassin' itself, it would be fine if he could successfully solve the opponent. But if he couldn't defeat it and instead woke it up prematurely, then the entire Lower World might be destroyed as a result.
Although Levi had currently obtained the status of a 'Demigod' and his lifespan had become incomparably long, he ultimately could not yet exist without relying on the Lower World like a true deity.
The plan to summon the adventurers of the former Zeus Familia and Hera Familia back to the Lower World should perhaps be initiated.
Thinking this in his heart, Levi selected 'Perseverance' as his Development Ability, having acquired it long ago using a Designated Development Ability Activation Ticket.
Next, he opened the Exchange Shop again, spent 500 million Valis Vouchers, and cleared the '5/35' Law Crystal exchange entry, resetting it to zero.
[Law Crystals: 60 → 65]
Because Law Crystals were used, the increase in Falna Level did not put the Hōgyoku into cooldown.
Levi pondered for a moment, then temporarily unequipped the Tenacity five-piece set.
Using his consciousness, he dragged a Law Crystal to merge with one of the equipment pieces:
[Limit Break requires 1,000,000 (500,000) Mana points and 10 (5) Law Crystals. After Limit Break, the 'Flower of Creviced Cliff 6-Star' will become 'Flower of Life · Tenacity 7-Star'. Hōgyoku cooldown: 0 days.]
[Flower of Life · Tenacity · 7-Star]
* [Indestructible] [Soul Equipment]
* [Endurance Super-Rank Increase (+2000)]
* [Obtain Life Arcanum (Fragment)]
* [Tenacity 2-Piece Set Effect: Massive increase in Endurance]
* [Tenacity 4-Piece Set Effect: After a Magic or Active Skill hits a target, Strength is massively increased and Shield Strength is massively increased for a short duration. This effect cannot stack.]
The five 7-Star items—Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos—could be drawn from the Lv.5 Genshin gacha pool.
The effect involves fusing with the corresponding 6-Star equipment, raising the latter to 7-Star. While retaining the original 2-piece and 4-piece set effects, it grants a boost to base attributes, plus the five types of fragmented Arcanums: Life, Death, Time, Space, and Logic.
But obviously, obtaining these five pieces of equipment through gacha would consume far more Law Crystals than the 'Hōgyoku Limit Break S' combo technique.
It was just that Levi's 'Limit Break' Development Ability level was previously too low, and his total Magic before leveling up was insufficient to complete the advancement of 6-Star equipment.
But now...
[Tenacity Set · 7-Star]
* [Indestructible] [Soul Equipment]
* [Flower of Life / Plume of Death / Sands of Eon / Goblet of Eonothem / Circlet of Logos: Endurance / Strength / Dexterity / Agility / Magic Super-Rank Increase (+2000)]
* [Obtain Life / Death / Endurance / Space / Logic Arcanum (Fragment)]
* [2-Piece Set Effect: Massive increase in Endurance]
* [4-Piece Set Effect: After a Magic or Active Skill hits a target, Strength is massively increased and Shield Strength is massively increased for a short duration. This effect cannot stack.]
* [Space / Time Arcanum · 8-Star]
* [Obtain Development Ability Void Flash S / Time Flash S]
* [Can manually code 4-Star, 5-Star, 6-Star, 7-Star, and 8-Star Space/Time Attribute Magic, or rewrite already mastered Space/Time Attribute Magic to a certain extent. Magic obtained through this method does not count towards Falna Magic Slots.]
* [Space/Time Attribute Mana Consumption reduced by Two-Stage Super-Rank]
* [Space/Time Attribute Magic Proficiency growth speed increased by Two-Stage Super-Rank]
* [Space/Time Attribute Magic Power increased by Two-Stage Super-Rank]
* [Space/Time Attribute Resistance increased by Two-Stage Super-Rank]
Exchanging 25 Law Crystals for another 1000-point increase in Five-dimensional Ability Stats.
This seemed like a bit of a loss.
But if one counted the Arcanums inherent to the equipment, the situation was completely different.
Especially the Sands of Eon and the Goblet of Eonothem; the Time Arcanum (Fragment) and Space Arcanum (Fragment) they bestowed could stack with Arcanums of the same name.
After equipping these two items, the Time and Space Arcanums, which were previously at 7-Star alongside Thunder/Wind/Geo, instantly stepped into the 8-Star threshold!
—Arcanum.
This was originally a power that only deities could utilize.
Now, however, it was mastered in advance by Levi with the aid of equipment.
In other words, he only needed to transform his status from Demigod to God Rank next. Then, when facing other deities, he would no longer need to be apprehensive and could completely follow his own will to reshape this world.
As for how to achieve this goal, Levi glanced at Filvis not far away; he clearly already had an idea.
...
Midnight, zero o'clock.
A new month arrived.
Just as before, Levi opened the Exchange Shop and first purchased all 35 Law Crystals in stock.
Then he consumed one Law Crystal to exchange for a 'Card Pool Fixation Ticket' and used it.
[Event Card Pool: One Piece Lv.1 / Lv.2 / Lv.3 / Lv.4 / Lv.5]
* 7-Star (Unspecified, base UP probability 100% for corresponding item after specifying): Devil Fruit Awakening Ticket, Devil Fruit Manufacturing Technique, Pluton Construction Blueprints, Poseidon Genetic Map, Uranus Construction Blueprints...
* 6-Star (Unspecified, base UP probability +100% for corresponding item after specifying): Designated Devil Fruit (Mythical Zoan) Exchange Ticket, Conqueror's Haki Skill Book, Observation Haki Skill Book, Armament Haki Skill Book...
* 5-Star (Unspecified, base UP probability +100% for corresponding item after specifying): Designated Devil Fruit (Logia) Exchange Ticket, Marine Six Powers Skill Book...
* 4-Star (Unspecified, base UP probability +100% for corresponding item after specifying): Designated Devil Fruit (Paramecia / Non-Mythical Zoan) Exchange Ticket, Sword Qi Skill Book...
* 3-Star (Unspecified, base UP probability +100% for corresponding item after specifying): Navigation Skill Book, Marine Body Tempering Skill Book, Swordsmanship Skill Book...
It was much as he had predicted earlier; the newly appearing Event Card Pool was impressively One Piece, one of the three mainstream manga from his past life.
The card pool of this world was, well, how to put it... somewhat useful, but not terribly useful.
Leaving aside Devil Fruits—be they Logia, Paramecia, or Zoan—eating one would directly turn one into a landlubber, gaining a weakness for nothing, and developing the abilities would also require a massive amount of time and energy. Aside from that, skills like Marine Six Powers, the Three Types of Haki, and Swordsmanship could mostly find cheap substitutes in other card pools.
That being said, Levi still spent 80 million Valis Vouchers to draw the Skill Books for the Three Types of Haki in one go.
Among them, Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki were treated as consumables and fused into the 'Byakugan' alongside the 'Mystic Eyes Awakening Ticket' drawn over a month ago.
Under normal circumstances, as the core ability of the Otsutsuki Clan, the advancement route of the Byakugan should be Byakugan → Byakugan (Fetal Movement) → Tenseigan.
A slightly more special route would be Byakugan → Black Eyes.
However, perhaps due to the integration of special rules from the Type-Moon World and the One Piece World—and of course, possibly because Levi now held quite a few complete and incomplete Arcanums.
After consuming another 1 Law Crystal.
His Byakugan unexpectedly evolved different abilities in his left and right eyes respectively, much like the Mangekyō Sharingan.
[Tenseigan · Heterosis · 7-Star]
* [Base: Telescopic Vision, X-ray Vision, Insight Vision, Mental Pressure]
* [Left Eye: Control Attraction and Repulsion; Super-Rank Reinforcement of Space Attribute Magic Power and Effects]
* [Right Eye: Time Acceleration, Time Deceleration, Time Stop; Super-Rank Reinforcement of Time Attribute Magic Power and Effects]
Originally, when Levi activated the Byakugan, veins would bulge around his eye sockets, and his pupils would turn a translucent white.
To use Hestia's phrasing, his looks would slightly decline.
Now, it was much better.
Although his Tenseigan was a heterosis version, the pupil color was a relatively pure sky blue, and the hideous veins no longer appeared when activated.
The only thing that could be counted as an anomaly was probably that the pupils on both the left and right sides were square, but one wouldn't notice it without looking carefully.
The last of the Three Types of Haki—Armament Haki—did not get treated as fodder like Conqueror's and Observation Haki. However, after being used, it was immediately fused into the Cold Edge Martial Arts.
[Cold Edge Martial Arts · 7-Star (-)]
* [My Path is a Cold Edge: Attack Power Super-Rank Increase] → [My Path is a Cold Edge: Attack Power Super-Rank Increase, Defense Power Super-Rank Increase]
