Chapter 1390
Chapter 1366: The Sweet Burden of Happiness!
Alexei lost his first round without any suspense.
What pained the entire Nuclear World the most was that Chapaev also lost to Jean Ango.
On the other hand.
The audience from the Demon Slayer World felt the same way.
Neither Yimi nor Konstantin got off to a good start.
Both lost with a significant power difference, one to a ninja from the Sarutobi Clan in the Ninja World, and the other to Giselle, a demigod from the Giant World who was formerly the 'God of the Underworld, Hades' in the Harmart World.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Although they had received various enhancements and possessed strength beyond mortals.
They had only mastered it for a short time, while their opponents were either battle-hardened or had received elite education since childhood, and were already accustomed to this level of combat.
For the other audience members, today was a feast for the eyes.
Fifty duels happening simultaneously truly dazzled everyone.
Here were sword masters and centaur warriors, next to them were mages and ninjas.
Further over were the Fish-Man Tribe and Kabaneri, Animal-Type Ability Users and Elf Race female swordsmen, Pseudo-Divine Weapons and the Mink Tribe...
It was simply a display of 'chaos'!
Firearms, magic, ninjutsu, Imperial Arms, Ministerial Arms, Breathing Styles, superpowers, clashing with each other, giving everyone a more intuitive concept of the 'Multiverse'.
Im also watched with great interest; he had always wanted to see this kind of scene.
Compared to the first Top 100 Competition, this second one was clearly much more exciting.
He was already looking forward to the third Top 100 Competition four years from now.
At the same time, Im paid particular attention to Alexei's performance.
Not for anything else, but to observe the enhancement effect of the 'Regal Stone' on the human body.
According to the Biochemical Research Institute, after various experiments and research.
They had determined that the energy of the 'Regal Stone' was relatively gentle, and when implanted into the human body, it would likely mutate in a favorable direction.
The hidden danger was that it would cause a certain burden on a person's spirit, making them easily irritable and impulsive, for example.
But this problem could be solved by increasing willpower.
Or by cultivating the Demon Slayer Breathing Style, which has the effect of activating mental power.
It must be said that Breathing Style, while not providing a boost to combat power above colonel rank, and at most adding some flashy phantasm special effects.
It was indeed a good thing for people with combat power below colonel rank.
This was also why the World Government made it a mandatory course in all public primary and secondary schools.
Returning to the 'Regal Stone'.
The Biochemical Research Institute stated that since no serious hidden dangers were found, they supported opening it up for exchange within the military.
However, one thing to note is that people implanted with the 'Regal Stone' cannot eat Devil Fruits anymore.
Because the 'Regal Stone' has already completely modified a person's lineage factor.
And Devil Fruits operate on the same principle, so the two will inevitably conflict.
According to human experimentation results, two situations will occur.
One is that the latter overrides the former, and the former's ability disappears. The second is that the bloodline genes collapse.
Between these two situations, the former has a higher probability, and the latter has a lower probability.
It is similar to a person eating two Devil Fruits.
The only difference is that eating two Devil Fruits will not result in an override effect; death is certain.
However, Muzan Kibutsuji proposed a somewhat unexpected speculation.
That is, if a 'Regal Stone' enhancer is fed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that matches the animal form they transform into, it might be possible for the two abilities to fuse.
Because the influence of both on the lineage factor is largely the same.
Taking Alexei as an example, his 'Regal transformation form' is a werewolf that can spray sound waves.
If he were to eat an Inu Inu no Mi of the Wolf Form, a fusion situation might occur.
It's just unknown whether the Devil Fruit or the 'Regal Stone' would be dominant.
This is also easy to distinguish: throw the person into water containing 'P Substance' and see if they become powerless.
Currently, Muzan's proposal has been accepted by the Biochemical Research Institute and they are preparing to conduct experiments when the conditions are more mature.
For now, it is still necessary to remind those who exchange for it not to possess two abilities simultaneously, to avoid irreversible consequences.
Im, having just watched Alexei's defeat process, also agreed with the Biochemical Research Institute's view.
This 'Regal Stone' and Zoan-type Devil Fruits are indeed very similar.
The former, like the latter, also has three forms: Human Form, Hybrid Form, and Beast Form. After transformation, physical ability will also be significantly improved, and they can also possess a special ability with certain development potential.
Crucially, it does not have the weakness of being countered by 'P Substance'.
Honestly, comparing them.
The 'Regal Stone' is quite a bit better than Common Species and Ancient Zoan Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
It is comparable to Danger Beast and Mythical Zoan Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
Of course, the 'Regal Stone' also has shortcomings.
For example, after being implanted into the human body, what form it can awaken into and what ability it will gain is completely random!
Even with the same animal form, the special ability can be different.
Just like Alexei, he is in werewolf form, but his ability is spraying sound waves.
But if another person is also in werewolf form, their ability might be spraying flame.
In comparison, with Devil Fruits, as long as they are recorded in the encyclopedia, their approximate ability can be determined.
The 'Regal Stone' is purely based on luck!
Furthermore.
The lower limit and upper limit of the 'Regal Stone' seem to be lower than Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
First, the lower limit refers to the enhancement effect on physical ability and life force.
In this regard, the 'Regal Stone' is only about the same as Common Species Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
In terms of upper limit.
Zoan-type Devil Fruits have an Awakened Form above the three forms.
The 'Regal Stone' doesn't seem to have one, or perhaps it hasn't been seen yet.
Also, in the development of special abilities.
Let's take Alexei as an example again.
He can currently at most divide his sound wave spraying ability into two techniques.
One is a large-area wolf howl, which doesn't have very strong destructive power, but significantly affects the sense of hearing of creatures.
The second is condensing the sound waves and spraying them out, which has a smaller range but stronger destructive power.
Can he continue to develop more techniques?
This depends on whether the 'Regal Stone' possesses this ability.
Therefore, before more powerful examples appear.
It is reasonable to believe that Devil Fruits are superior in this aspect.
Overall, the Regal Stone should be better than Common Species Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
It has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to Ancient Zoan Zoan-type Devil Fruits, and is on par with Danger Beast Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
But it is not as good as Mythical Zoan Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
Thus, there is an objective reference for 'pricing' and 'ranking'.
It is an Epic Grade Secret Treasure, just like Danger Beast Zoan-type Devil Fruits!
However, since the 'Regal Stone' currently has sufficient reserves, while Danger Beast Zoan-type Devil Fruits are relatively rare, its price will be cheaper.
Im's gaze swept across Alexei and Hank.
This 'Regal Stone' and 'Pseudo-Divine Soldier Manufacturing Technology' are really similar.
Moreover, 'Pseudo-Divine Weapons' also require the consumption of 'Dream Ore'.
But the reserves of 'Dream Ore' are much larger than those of the 'Regal Stone'.
It seems that in the future, military soldiers of the World Government, if they want to possess the ability to transform into animal forms, will have to make a choice between these three.
Perhaps it can be considered a sweet burden of happiness?
With such good prices, between Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, Danger Beast Devil Fruits, Regal Stone, and Pseudo-Divine Weapons, which one would everyone choose?
