"The factory reported in the news is actually a military base, sir," Jarvis said after the news finished playing. "The situation of making a base disappear instantly is very consistent with Yuma's abilities, so I think you can use it as a reference. Yuma may have appeared at that base."
"It seems Yuma was probably captured by General Ross, as Banner said," Tony thought for a moment and said. "But it seems they couldn't control Yuma. Instead, he escaped and destroyed the base."
"What should we do next?" Banner asked. "You know, with Yuma's abilities, he can go anywhere he wants."
"Right, the boss' skills are amazing. As long as he knows the coordinates, he can open a Garganta and go there," Rush added. "We won't be able to find the boss this way."
"Why do we need to find him?" Tony looked at the two of them speechlessly. "As long as we can confirm that it was indeed Yuma who appeared at the base, knowing that he's okay is enough."
"If he wants to, he'll come find us. I still owe him two conditions and a suit. He won't give up on that."
"Then I'll go back first. You can notify me when you have results." Banner said.
He's been at Tony's place for almost a week. Now that he knows Yuma is probably okay, there's no need for him to stay here anymore.
"I, I'll still wait for news about the boss here." Rush rolled his eyes and said.
He originally wanted to go back like Banner, since he could help Yuma look after the shop.
But then he thought, the boss destroyed the military base. Would they let his shop go?
If I go back now, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?
So, Rush decisively changed his mind. He'd rather stay here for now. At least he doesn't have to worry about food and safety.
…
On the other side, Yuma returned to Hueco Mundo and suddenly received a prompt from the system.
[Mission: Assist General Ross in defeating the enemy and saving the Manhattan secret base. Failed.]
[Mission Reward: None.]
[New mission mode unlocked. Related functions can be viewed in the mission overview.]
A new mission mode was unlocked?
Yuma thought that if he didn't complete the system's mission, he wouldn't get any rewards, and maybe he'd even get some kind of punishment. He didn't expect there to be a surprise.
Yuma found the mission overview and carefully checked it to see what this so-called new mode was.
…
So, that's how it is, Yuma thought, exiting the system and lying on a giant rock, looking at the sky.
The system's so-called new mission mode refers to three different mission directions.
Previously, each mission was released from the perspective of the superheroes. They were basically about saving or assisting them. If I didn't complete them, there would be no reward at all.
Now, the new mode gives Yuma two more choices. For example, for this mission to help General Ross,
The first choice, if Yuma chooses to help him, he can directly get a reward of 100,000 souls.
The second choice, if Yuma ignores this mission and doesn't help either side, there will be a punishment.
The third choice, no matter if Yuma helps the other side accelerate the destruction of the base or directly destroys the base with his own strength, it counts as completing the mission.
But the mission reward is no longer 100,000 souls, but unknown.
According to the system, the rewards for missions in this mode are random. They could be very good or very bad, even worse than the punishment!
'I wonder what the system's criteria are for determining new mode missions?' Yuma put a blade of grass in his mouth and muttered. I guess I'll have to figure it out slowly. With the system's nature, it's impossible for it to tell me!
"System, if this mission was in the new mode state, what would I get as a reward?" Yuma suddenly sat up and asked. Can't I change the way I ask if the system can't directly answer me?
[Souls 50,000 plus a Character Experience Card.] After a long time, the system finally spoke.
Boom!
Yuma punched the rock he was lying on. Damn it!
I should have triggered this new mode earlier!
Yuma lay back down on the rock, feeling depressed. Even after taking several deep breaths, he couldn't relieve his heartache.
After lying around for a while, Yuma got up and took out the hard drive he got from the lab. Then, he took out his computer and started playing the video.
Although the mission was a pity, it couldn't be changed. It's better to figure out what's wrong with my body than to be depressed. After all, the body is the capital of revolution!
As the video played, Yuma's face became more and more surprised as he watched the scene of himself going berserk unconsciously on the screen. Especially when he saw himself using the abilities of Zanpakuto, Zangetsu, Hyōrinmaru, and Sōgyo no Kotowari, Yuma was completely dumbfounded.
You know, the later "Freezing-Burial" can be understood as my Zanpakuto ability, but it's a bit perverted to be able to use the abilities of other Shinigami Zanpakuto at will. Besides, it's not something I can release, right?
"System, were you controlling me when I went berserk?" Yuma replayed the video and asked. "Did you use the abilities of other Shinigami Zanpakuto?"
[No.]
This time, the system replied instantly.
"What's going on? Is there a Hollow inside me?" Yuma didn't understand. Looking at his state at the time, it was clearly similar to Ichigo Kurosaki's Hollowfication and going berserk. But the difference is that Ichigo Kurosaki has a Hollow White, but I don't!
Even if I have a Hollow inside me, how can I use the Shinigami abilities at will? Besides, I also used the abilities of the Visored, Kūnan White's Super Flying Kick and a giant white Cero. Except for the Quincy, I used all the abilities of the Shinigami and Arrancar.
[Insufficient permissions. Not answering.]
"Then how can I upgrade my permissions?" Yuma asked through gritted teeth.
[Insufficient permissions. Not answering.]
"Damn it!" Yuma was so angry that he almost threw the computer. "System, you're acting like this. I can't feel the warmth of being cared for as a transmigrator!"
The system simply ignored Yuma and didn't speak again.
Yuma was helpless and could only continue watching the video to see if he could find any clues.
…
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters conference room. Nick Fury and General Ross stood straight. On the screen in front of them were the figures of the members of the World Security Council.
"Gentlemen, one failure doesn't mean anything," Alexander Pierce said slowly on the screen. "You must remember our mission. Dangerous superhumans like Yuma must be eliminated!"
"Otherwise, once he grows beyond our control, he will bring about the destruction of the entire world, not just one base!"
"So, gentlemen, we allow you to use superweapons. We hope you won't disappoint us!"
"Yes!"
General Ross saluted the screen, his voice firm.
After the figures disappeared, Nick Fury's only remaining eye looked thoughtfully at the darkened screen, without speaking…
