"Ding… Purple Lightning Armor has been fully mastered."
The moment the System's announcement sounded, the raging currents vanished instantly.
Instead of the destructive force of thunder, a strange warm energy flowed through Aoi's body, stimulating and accelerating the regeneration of his flesh and cells.
"Finally… it's done!"
Aoi lifted his head. The charred, hardened outer layer of skin began to flake away bit by bit, revealing smooth, fair skin as bright and pure as milk beneath.
"Great, now I really look like a pampered pretty boy," Aoi muttered with a helpless grin.
A newborn baby only gets one chance at fresh skin, but his had regenerated more than a hundred times in just a few minutes…
If this process could be made safe, bringing it back to Earth would make him richer than Gates or Buffett in no time.
He hovered silently in mid‑air. The purple lightning could no longer harm him in the slightest — but the cost had been enormous.
Over three hundred bottles of Energy Potion, more than a hundred cycles of excruciating pain, and now skin as soft as cream. He had always wanted to look like a tough warrior…
Still, every bit of it had been worth it!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Returning to the deck of his ship, Aoi raised his hand and examined it closely. "So this is the power of purple lightning!"
The Purple Lightning Armor clung smoothly to his entire body. With a simple flick of his wrist, a terrifying bolt of violet lightning lashed out like a whip, smashing everything in its path to pieces.
When he clenched his fist, raging currents surged inside, filling him with explosive power — giving him the overwhelming feeling that he could destroy anything he touched.
"Now I understand why so many people in my past life were such fans of the Raikages," Aoi said as he commanded the lightning to blast apart everything around him.
Because the power of lightning truly feels like it has no limits.
But he knew better — it was only an illusion. The white lightning ahead was far stronger than what he now wielded…
"Should I push forward even further?" Aoi hesitated. White lightning was more than twice as intense as purple; the last time he faced it, he had barely escaped with his life.
"Ding…"
New Quest Triggered: Rise from where you fell.
Objective: Overcome the White Lightning.
Reward: One Kage‑grade treasure chest.
...
"System, you really are something…"
Aoi gritted his teeth. Why didn't you give me a quest when I was fighting the purple lightning? Do you just keep throwing danger at me as long as it won't kill me outright?
"Ding — This system does not issue quests that offer no real challenge."
Hearing that, Aoi found it somewhat believable. Ever since he had reached Kage‑level strength, he had never received a quest with only a mid‑rank reward; the lowest offered had been a high‑grade chest.
But this also meant the region of white lightning would be extremely dangerous…
"Fine then — if I fall, I'll just rise again!"
Activating the Purple Lightning Armor, Aoi charged straight into the zone of white lightning without a second glance.
ROAR~
He had no idea why lightning could produce a sound like a dragon's roar, but one thing was certain — he had clearly provoked it.
BOOM!
A bolt of white lightning, far thicker than any before, crashed down from the sky.
The Purple Lightning Armor began to crumble the moment it made contact, and nearly half of the strike surged directly into Aoi's body.
The devastating current instantly carbonized most of his torso, turning it into ash fine enough to fertilize trees — as if he had been thrown into a furnace.
For a split second, Aoi truly believed he was already dead…
"Administer Life Potion!"
A vial of deep red liquid vanished, and a surge of vibrant life force flooded through him, restoring every inch of his body that had lost all vitality.
It was like seeing new leaves sprout from a dead tree trunk.
At the same time, the Purple Lightning Armor finally stabilized, reforming itself and slowly beginning to consume and absorb the invading white lightning…
