The enemies who attacked the Three-Faction Meeting this time could roughly be divided into three forces.
Deva, Hueco Mundo, and Khaos Brigade.
Deva has had conflicts with Devils since ancient times, and he would personally settle accounts with them later.
The two Arrancars from Hueco Mundo arrived somewhat suddenly, and they also displayed abilities similar to a Shinigami's Bankai. Sirzechs planned to send people to investigate after returning.
As for the final Khaos Brigade, this matter was a bit complicated.
Whether it was the Old Satan Faction or Vali, they both had a significant connection with Devils.
The Old Satan Faction was fine, Sirzechs could handle them on his own.
The real trouble now lay with Vali.
He was not only Azazel's adopted son but also a descendant of the first Lucifer.
If he were to be dealt with, it would cause huge turmoil on both the Devil and Fallen Angel sides.
Especially on the Fallen Angel side, it was very likely to cause a knot in Azazel's heart and ultimately affect the peace talks.
"Tatsuma, I hope you can spare Vali and give him a chance to live. In exchange, Azazel and I owe you a favor. Just ask for whatever you want."
"Okay."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"Uh... how should I put it? It went a bit too smoothly, and I don't know what to say for a moment." Sirzechs's expression was a bit subtle.
He had learned about Tatsuma's fighting style and knew how ruthless he was.
If you counted carefully, only Vali, among those who actively sought trouble with Tatsuma, survived.
Actually, there was originally Walburga, but she had just been dealt with by Tatsuma.
It was precisely because of this that Sirzechs was prepared to play the emotional card.
Unexpectedly, Tatsuma actually agreed to his request directly.
"Aren't you afraid Vali will trouble you again?"
"He troubles me to fight me. Since that's the case, let's solve the problem from the root."
Tatsuma took out a business card and said, "When Vali wakes up, tell him to report to Akatsuki. As long as he does missions and collects enough contributions, he can exchange for a chance to fight me."
"I understand."
Seeing that Tatsuma didn't seem to be joking, Sirzechs took the business card and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tatsuma's attitude towards Vali was much gentler than he had imagined.
With this, the matter Azazel asked for was resolved.
"Alright, let's talk about the main business next."
Just then, Tatsuma's voice sounded again.
"Regarding that favor you owe me, I want to use it now."
"Okay, what do you want?"
"The raw materials for making Evil Pieces, provide me with ten sets every month."
"Ten sets... providing them all at once is no problem, but every month is a bit difficult."
Tatsuma smiled. "What you mean by a bit difficult is that those old fogeys among the Devils will get in the way, right? If you can't handle it, I can do it for you."
"Uh... actually, it doesn't have to be that extreme."
Sirzechs waved his hand, indicating that he could handle this matter.
This matter absolutely could not be left to Tatsuma.
With his killing intent, he could clear out more than half of the Devil high-level officials if he took action.
Having agreed to Tatsuma's condition, Sirzechs waved goodbye and left the classroom.
After watching him disappear, Tatsuma withdrew his gaze and opened the trait inventory, dense traits appearing before his eyes.
Clicking on one-click synthesis, Tatsuma synthesized all the newly acquired traits to the blue level. Counting them, there were a total of 1261 more blue traits in the inventory.
"A bit few."
A hint of regret flashed in Tatsuma's eyes.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Having had the great harvest of a million Cursed Spirits, Tatsuma's standard for traits had become much higher.
Over a thousand blue traits could at most help him get one gold trait, which was really difficult to satisfy him.
"Forget it, let's take it little by little."
Adjusting his mindset, Tatsuma took out a purple object.
This was something he had obtained after killing Walburga earlier.
Unlike most Sacred Gears, the Longinus Incinerate Anthem does not disappear after the host dies. On the contrary, it will remain in the Human World and automatically select the next host.
It was precisely because of this characteristic that Tatsuma had the opportunity to recover the Longinus after killing Walburga.
Untying the seal on Incinerate Anthem, Tatsuma used magic to slowly integrate it into his body.
[Wait, partner, don't mess around!]
Just then, Ddraig's voice sounded.
Noticing Tatsuma's reckless behavior, Ddraig, who had been silently observing, was startled.
[Incinerate Anthem is different from ordinary Sacred Gears, it is one of the Holy Relics.]
[You have Evil Pieces in your body, which are naturally opposed to this thing.]
[Plus, the Boosted Gear will repel external Sacred Gears from entering, you will get injured if you forcefully absorb it.]
"Of course I know that."
Tatsuma remained unmoved and continued to use magic to absorb Incinerate Anthem.
At the same time, he opened his trait panel and unequipped [Boosted Gear] and Devil type traits. All factors that would interfere with the absorption disappeared, and Tatsuma became an ordinary human again.
Attracted by Tatsuma's powerful strength, Incinerate Anthem began to actively merge.
In just a few seconds, it merged with Tatsuma.
[Detecting external power, convert it into a gold trait?]
[External power conversion successful, congratulations on obtaining the gold trait Incinerate Anthem.]
[Incinerate Anthem (Gold): When activated, can summon purple flames for attack. The purple flames have extremely high temperature and possess powerful purification power, having a strong restraining ability against existences like Devils and Shinigami. Capturing powerful souls and nailing them to the cross can unlock Balance Breaker.]
"Not bad."
Tatsuma summoned a ball of purple flame and played with it for a while.
As a Longinus, Incinerate Anthem naturally wasn't weak. If it were used against specific races like Hollows or Devils, it could even fight above its level.
