While setting up a barrier around the Blood-patterned Leopard stronghold, Tatsuma activated Time energy during the process.
Time energy poured out, mixing into the process of the barrier formation, stopping the Blood-patterned Leopards in time.
Temporarily stopping the barrier construction, Tatsuma activated magic to summon lightning, conducting precision strikes on the Blood-patterned Leopards, including those hiding in the cave.
[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated a Blood-patterned Leopard and obtained the Green trait: Bloodthirsty.]
[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated a Blood-patterned Leopard and obtained the Blue trait: Blood-patterned Leopard Bloodline.]
[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated a Blood-patterned Leopard and obtained the White trait: Blood Claw.]
...
A series of prompts sounded, and Tatsuma gained dozens of new traits.
Activating Senjutsu to heal the Blood-patterned Leopards' injuries, Tatsuma lifted the time stop state.
"Hmm?"
Coming out of the time stop state, the Blood-patterned Leopard leader felt a strange sense of incongruity.
However, seeing that Tatsuma was still setting up the barrier, he just took this sense of incongruity as an illusion and didn't pay attention.
A few seconds later, the barrier was completed.
After briefly explaining the barrier's effect to the Blood-patterned Leopard leader, Tatsuma returned to Tannin's back. With a flap of his huge wings, Tannin carried Tatsuma soaring into the sky, leaving the Blood-patterned Leopard stronghold.
"How was it? It didn't arouse suspicion this time, right?"
"To be honest, it went smoother than expected."
Tannin replied in a deep voice, and at the same time, a new doubt arose in his heart.
"Red Dragon Emperor, since you have such convenient methods, why did you make such a big fuss before?"
Because I didn't treat those monsters as people before.
"Because I needed Sirzechs's help. Making a bigger commotion allowed me to take quests from him and receive rewards."
"..."
After hearing Tatsuma's explanation, Tannin's expression became subtle.
Considering his cooperation with Tatsuma, he ultimately said nothing. However, in his heart, Tannin silently raised Tatsuma's danger level to the highest.
This person is too dangerous. I need to be careful when interacting in the future to avoid offending him. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know when I've been tricked.
"Tannin, tell me all the monster strongholds you know. I can act alone from now on."
Tannin asked, "Don't you need me to cover for you?"
"No need, I have a way to prove my identity."
Tatsuma activated magic, establishing a mental connection between himself and Tannin. Through the mental connection, Tannin quickly transmitted the locations of the monster tribes he knew.
After asking Tannin to help collect the locations of monsters tribes in other areas, Tatsuma disappeared with Est.
In the following period, Tatsuma controlled his physical clones to move between various monsters tribes, occasionally even acting as the culprit to attack a few tribes.
As the news gradually spread, the monsters gradually received the information and also learned that monster tribes that had established barriers would not be attacked.
Thus, some monster tribes began to proactively send envoys to contact Tatsuma, asking him to help establish barriers. Naturally, Tatsuma accepted all requests.
Two weeks later, inside the Gremory Main Estate.
Tatsuma finished his training and canceled all the physical clones dispersed in different areas of the Underworld.
Opening the trait inventory, countless traits, seemingly endless, appeared in his sight.
The materials for the sixth Rainbow trait were sufficient.
"The Underworld is truly a good place." Tatsuma sighed.
For two weeks, he had been controlling his physical clones to wander in the Underworld.
By various means of 'fleecing' the monsters, he could obtain thousands to tens of thousands of traits every day.
Added to that were Grayfia, who was grinding in Hueco Mundo, and Yahweh, who was training guards in the Gremory territory.
With three fronts working, he managed to gather the materials for the sixth Rainbow trait in just half a month.
Glancing at the high-level traits in the inventory, he didn't hesitate this time and chose to upgrade... Dragon Bloodline according to his plan.
That's right, Tatsuma dropped the Harem King trait.
It's not that the Harem King trait is bad. It was mainly because he noticed a few days ago that the cooldown for trait fusion was over.
From the previous two fusions, it could be seen that by fusing two traits with similar effects through trait fusion, even if the upgrade function isn't triggered, the trait effect will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, Tatsuma had a bold idea.
Fuse two Rainbow traits to see if a qualitative change would occur.
[Trait upgrade successful, congratulations on obtaining the Gold trait: Dragon Bloodline.]
[Trait upgrade successful, congratulations on obtaining the Rainbow trait: Dragon God Bloodline.]
[Dragon God Bloodline (Rainbow): Training effect +10000%, all stats greatly increased, exerts comprehensive suppression on Dragons with lower bloodline concentration, can devour the enemy's magic to replenish consumption, recover from injuries, and temporarily increase all stats.]
After upgrading to Rainbow level, the Dragon Bloodline obtained from Tannin underwent a significant change. Not only were the original effects comprehensively strengthened, but two new effects were also added.
Exerting suppression on Dragons with lower bloodline concentration than oneself, and devouring magic to strengthen oneself.
Compared to the Devil God Bloodline, which requires growth, Dragon God Bloodline is more inclined towards strengthening combat power.
"Not bad."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Tatsuma's face.
Opening the trait fusion function, he placed the Devil God Bloodline and the newly upgraded Dragon God Bloodline on it.
[Trait fusion successful, congratulations on obtaining the Rainbow trait: God of Devils and Dragons.]
[God of Devils and Dragons (Rainbow)]
[Effect 1: Training effect +30000%, all stats greatly increased.]
[Effect 2: Exerts comprehensive suppression on Devils and Dragons with lower bloodline concentration than oneself.]
[Effect 3: When devouring enemy energy attacks, can replenish consumption, recover from injuries, and increase all stats.]
[Effect 4: For every additional believer, Training effect increases by 0.0002%. For every additional Dragonkin, Training effect increases by 0.001%, no upper limit.]
[Note: This trait is a special trait. After unlocking Black traits, it can be upgraded by consuming five Rainbow traits.]
In terms of effects, compared to before fusion, God of Devils and Dragons' Training effect increase was further enhanced.
Although the description of "all stats greatly increased" didn't change, Tatsuma could feel that the actual increase was greater than before.
As for the other three effects, they were also enhanced to a certain extent.
Especially the growth potential. Besides the original believers, a Dragonkin option was added.
Of course, apart from the changes in effects, what Tatsuma was more concerned about at this moment was the note at the end.
"Black trait... Is there a higher level trait above Rainbow?" Tatsuma thoughtfully stroked his chin.
He had seen a similar note on the Origin Fruit before.
At that time, it only required five Gold traits to upgrade the Origin Fruit to a Rainbow trait.
He didn't expect to see such a prompt on the Rainbow level God of Devils and Dragons.
However, the current problem is that upgrading to the Black trait requires unlocking the upgrade permission.
And at this moment, he had not yet met that unknown condition to unlock the permission to upgrade to the Black trait.
"Let's take it slow."
Tatsuma closed the trait panel.
With limited information, he couldn't confirm what the condition for unlocking the Black trait was. Instead of struggling to think, it's better to invest his energy into the main business.
"Est, let's stop training for now."
Tatsuma said to the silver-haired girl who was seriously carrying out her training plan not far away.
"I have something today, come out with me."
"Okay."
Est stopped exercising and walked over.
During these two weeks, Tatsuma had temporarily shared the effect of Limitless Potential with Est.
Although she didn't have traits like God of Devils and Dragons to increase her Training efficiency, Est gained the boost from Limitless Potential and successfully grew stronger through training. As long as she has enough time, it is not impossible for her to further break through to Dragon God Level in the future.
