Chapter 1339: New Function, Star Luck!
As Im continued to delve deeper into his memories, information about *Gintama* kept surfacing in his mind.
As the ruler of the World Government, what he cared about most were naturally interests and risks.
As for Sakata Gintoki, Kagura, and other 'highly popular characters' from his previous life, since Im had already seen too many similar individuals, he didn't pay too much attention to them.
Mainly because there weren't many high-combat power individuals in *Gintama*.
To be honest, from his current perspective, Sakata Gintoki, the protagonist, was so weak he was almost not worth mentioning.
However, Im did hope that his Yorozuya could open a branch on Sea Star. Just to satisfy his little bit of amusement as a transmigrator.
If there was one existence in *Gintama* with the highest value, it would definitely be 'Altana'.
Its description is 'Energy flowing through the earth, the life force of a planet, also known as Dragon Veins'.
Yes, that's right, Dragon Veins!
It should be the same thing as the Ninja World Dragon Veins.
It's just that it was influenced by the Otsutsuki God Tree and became tainted with chakra. And thus, self-awareness was born.
Not long ago, at Brimir's reminder, Im had already taken the clone split from the Ninja World Dragon Veins and made it a member of the Shichibukai.
As for why it wasn't a star god, it was because a mere 'Dragon Veins Clone', with strength only slightly stronger than the Nine-Tails, truly didn't have the qualification.
However, if it were fighting in the Ninja World and could mobilize all its energy, it might possess strength comparable to, or even surpassing, Garp, Brimir, Demon Moon, and others.
The reason for saying 'might' is that energy is not just about reserves; it also depends on output power.
Even if you have the energy of a planet, it's useless if you can only release small fireballs each time.
And besides energy, strength, speed, will, reaction, experience, skill, environment, condition, and other aspects are also important factors determining strength.
Back to 'Altana'. Im thought about the setting in *Gintama*.
Sometimes, 'Altana' would also give birth to life forms with self-awareness and undying nature.
An existence similar to a 'clone'.
So, 'Altana' is actually also a race name.
*Gintama* calls them 'mutants', with representative figures being Utsuro and Kouka.
The former was born from the Samurai Country, Earth, and the latter was born from the Yato Tribe's homeworld, Kouan.
However, they have a certain difference from the Ninja World Dragon Veins.
That is, Utsuro and Kouka can only absorb the energy of their respective planets to recover strength and maintain life, but cannot directly control the planet's energy.
This leads to both of them being unable to leave their homeworld for long periods.
Otherwise, they would gradually become weak, until they completely die.
Kagura's mother, Kouka, died this way, choosing to stay on Earth to be with her family.
However, it was also related to Kouan's planet energy being nearly depleted.
But that was a planet after all. Even if it was nearing its end, she should have been able to live for another hundred years if she returned.
Kouka might have known this, but still decided to die in the arms of her family.
In comparison, Im found the final personality born from 'Utsuro' laughable.
Saying he had lived enough, but couldn't find a method to kill himself.
He also said, "Can a life without an end still be called a life?"
So he wanted to 'kill all of me'.
To this end, he attempted to provoke conflicts between the Amanto and Humans, starting a universe-wide war.
He planned to use a destructive weapon called 'Fire of Kagutsuchi', said to be 'enough to destroy a planet', to detonate Earth's 'Altana'.
Using the collision of two terrifying energies to cause a great explosion that threatened the entire galaxy.
While killing himself, he also wanted to liberate other lives and end sadness and suffering.
What Im found speechless was that if you wanted to kill yourself, you could just find an airship and leave Earth. Then wait for death outside. Why make it so complicated?
The only possible explanation is that he didn't know this.
After all, although Utsuro lived for a thousand years, he never left Earth and never experienced the feeling of gradually losing strength.
So he believed he was truly immortal.
And Kouka and Kankou, who knew about this, didn't tell him.
However, the Ninja World Dragon Veins had said before that although its 'clone' would become weak or even disappear after exhausting its energy, it could replenish energy at any time as long as natural energy existed on that planet.
But when 'Utsuro' from *Gintama* absorbed the 'Altana' of its planet, there would be a fierce repulsion phenomenon, causing explosive and severe destruction to the body.
It now seems that Kouka and Utsuro lacked the ability to convert the energy of other planets into absorbable energy.
This led to their reliance on their homeworld's energy.
However, Im felt that the Ninja World Dragon Veins and the Tailed Beasts' ability likely originated from the Otsutsuki Clan's technology.
Judging from the performance of the Divine Tree and the Rinnegan, they were very good at converting various energies into energy they could adapt to, absorb, and use.
"So, if Utsuro were to fuse with the chakra of the Ninja World Dragon Veins or the Ninja World Tailed Beasts, perhaps he could gain the ability to absorb the energy of other planets?"
Im pondered this matter in his mind.
Because he felt that Utsuro had the highest potential upper limit in *Gintama*.
If he could control him and let him completely control Earth's 'Altana', that would be equivalent to the will of a planet.
Not to mention that in the canon setting, the 'Altana' of 'Gintama Earth' was far more abundant than what the Tendoshu had seen on other planets.
For this reason, they even built the Universal Terminal: Central Tower here.
This shows how great Utsuro's potential is!
"Speaking of which, the *Gintama* setting states that every planet has 'Altana', so Sea Star also has it, and there's a certain chance of giving birth to 'mutants'."
Im felt that the term 'mutant' wasn't very pleasant to hear, so let's call them 'star spirits'.
"Star spirit... Ah! So that's how it is!"
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately whispered, "So, am I also a 'star spirit' now?"
What does this mean?
The word 'star spirit' reminded Im of the new function 'Star Luck' that appeared on the star map after he obtained the first large star gate upgrade authority.
The effect of 'Star Luck' is that he can mobilize all the energy of the planets under the control of 'Star Fate' at any time!
It can be used for offense and defense, for recovering injuries, or even for rebirth on the spot.
In other words, from now on, when he fights near Sea Star, Giant World, and Imperial Arms World, as long as these planets' energy is not depleted, he will be undying.
And he will have the boost of three planets' energy!
However, if he fights near a planet not covered by 'Star Fate', the effect will be greatly reduced depending on the rank of the star gate.
Because when he mobilizes the energy of Sea Star, Giant World, and Imperial Arms World, the energy needs to be transmitted into his body through the star gate.
And the energy transmission and energy absorption efficiency of 'small', 'medium', and 'large' gates are definitely different.
However, one thing to note is that according to the star map's description, if the rate of energy consumption is greater than the planet's self-recovery rate, it will cause the planet's environment to gradually deteriorate and eventually become a dead star, just like Kouan.
This is also the meaning behind the name 'Star Luck'.
Combined with 'Star Fate', it can completely determine the fate of a planet!
That's why Im was so excited when 'Star Luck' appeared before.
It was only with the help of Esdeath and Historia that he managed to calm his emotions.
He is now a genuine three-star expert.
When 'Star Fate' controls the current Ninja World, he will be a four-star expert.
However, given the impact of planet energy on a planet's lifespan, Im will not abuse it recklessly.
