Chapter 1403: Life Return's Full Stage Cultivation Secret Method!
Hodoriyu's resurrection caused a huge public sensation across the various worlds under the World Government.
Especially the term 'Underworld Human Affairs Division' sparked immense speculation.
"Father!!!"
As Sasha led Hodoriyu away from the Award Platform and into the Contestant Passage, she saw Durga, crying with tears streaming down her face, suddenly throw herself into Hodoriyu's embrace.
Behind her were Brimir, Tiffania, and Bryan, smiling and happy for them.
"You were the one who made the move just now, right?"
Sasha didn't interrupt the touching reunion between father and daughter. She walked directly to her lover and asked with a smile.
Brimir nodded in admission: "Yes, I received an order from that Lord."
The World Government currently had many means of resurrection, but Lord Imu ordered him to make the move, likely to dispel any doubt in their hearts. That is, was this resurrected Hodoriyu the real Hodoriyu? But now that he had performed the spellcasting himself, there would certainly be no more doubt. This made Brimir feel that Imu cared about their feelings. What a merciful ruler! Although that wasn't actually the case, it didn't stop him from thinking that way.
On the other side, Doflamingo, wearing a red suit and a flamingo coat, with dark red sunglasses on his face, grinned as he looked at Hank, who was ranked eighth.
"Fufufufufu~, it's your turn. Speak your wish!"
Facing this Adventurer's Guild President, who was over three meters tall and exuded an arrogant aura, Hank's mood involuntarily became nervous.
Because he could vaguely feel the 'Fenrir Beast Soul' inside his body seemed to fear the man before him.
But he still gritted his teeth and stated his decision.
"I want... I want to obtain the complete set of cultivation secret methods for Armament Haki techniques!"
Hank initially wanted to wish for the resurrection of all the Divine Soldier Mimicry partners who had died by his hand. The Competition Organizing Department official told him that only one person whose Soul was still in the Netherworld could be resurrected. But if only one person was resurrected, that would be too unfair to the others.
So Hank thought of changing his wish to asking the World Government to help him completely control the 'Fenrir' within his body, so that he would no longer lose control and enter 'Beast King Form'.
But Cain found him and said he hoped Hank could make a contribution to the Beast God World.
That was to exchange for the complete set of Armament Haki techniques, including Coating, Hardening, Emission, and Ryuo.
The Wrapping Technique among them came from Amazon Lily. Compared to the original Marines' techniques, it made it easier for people with up to standard physical ability to master.
And Ryuo was naturally a technique from Wano Island, possessing the effect of allowing Haki to penetrate the surface and attack the internal organs.
This time, Hank had to admit that Cain's idea was correct; it could indeed benefit the entire Beast God World.
As for the problem of loss of control, it could be solved at the Truth Waterfall on Ninja World Turtle Island.
"Phew... thankfully, this guy didn't mess around."
Inside the Colored Cloud Box, Cain felt relieved upon hearing Hank's words, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
"So you think Hank is that unreliable in your heart? But in Hank's opinion, you're even more worrying~" Elaine walked up to him and teased.
Cain cold snorted: "Hmph, he's too naive. He never knows what rational thinking is!"
"But isn't it precisely because of his naivety that everyone follows him? Including you," Elaine said softly.
Cain immediately fell silent, gazing at Hank's back view below, thinking to himself: "But being naive alone isn't enough..."
On the Award Platform located in the center of the Multiverse Duel Arena, Doflamingo immediately granted Hank's wish.
He had an attendant bring over the prepared Epic Grade Secret Treasure Purple Box, and then personally handed it to Hank.
After Hank respectfully received the Purple Box with both hands, he saw that on the box lid, there were also three cards.
One was a Black Card printed with the Five-Circle Cross White Emblem.
He knew this was a World Bank bank card, containing his prize money of up to 14.7 million Berry.
The second card was the Top 100 Plaque.
It was printed with the year of participation, ranking, contestant name, Ancestral World Information, and a digital number that could be detected by official equipment.
The third card was a Star Gate Pass, holding it allowed free entry and exit through all Star Gates.
Doflamingo then gently hung two gold badges on the white cloth on his right chest.
"From this moment on, you are both a 'Glorious Gold' certified by the Adventurer's Guild and a 'Glorious Gold' of the Multiverse Duel Arena. I wish you enjoyment in all the adventure, journey, and combat in this world!"
"Thank you very much!"
Hank lowered his head and looked at the two golden badges on his chest, one wing-shaped and one helmet-shaped. They were indeed quite beautiful.
The wing-shaped one was the Adventurer Badge, and the helmet-shaped one was the Duelist Badge.
Sasha and Doctor Tian Zhi, who were ahead of him, also had them.
Of course, for Doctor Tian Zhi, they probably only had collection value.
However, Hank wanted to experience the Multiverse Duel Arena's Ranking Match...
After Hank left, wearing the scarlet Top 100 Coat that Doflamingo personally draped over his shoulders, Ibara, ranked seventh, strode onto the stage, looking excitedly at Doflamingo.
He had been waiting for this moment and was almost impatient, but the longer he waited, the higher his ranking. So this relatively long waiting time also made him quite happy.
"The strongest of the Imperial Fist Temple's Rakshasa Four Demons, right? Then speak your wish," Doflamingo said with a smile.
Ibara immediately replied: "I want a higher level Cultivation Secret Method for Life Return!"
He firmly believed that the World Government's Life Return must have been developed to a degree he couldn't imagine.
Ibara always believed that the potential of Life Return was definitely not limited to controlling hair, fingernails, joints, or shrinking body size.
Compared to Haki, he preferred to develop in the area of control ability over the physical body and martial arts.
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow. He actually knew some inside story.
It was said that under the lead of Muzan Kibutsuji, Life Return had been divided into four stages.
The First Stage was the level reached by Ibara and the other Rakshasa Four Demons of the Imperial Fist Temple.
In the Second Stage, consciousness could penetrate deep into the internal organs.
Even if internal injury was sustained, rapid self-healing was possible, and even if poisoned, it could be expelled from the body autonomously.
Basically, as long as nutrition kept up, no matter how much the body was overloaded with training, it would be difficult to leave any internal injury.
The Third Stage allowed for the regeneration of flesh and blood and bone in parts other than the head by consuming life force.
For example, limbs, or even if the heart was pierced, it could recover if treated in time.
The Fourth Stage was achieving 100% control over own cells and perfect control of physical body form, even the head could grow back if cut off.
As long as there was sufficient Life Force, even if only a piece of flesh remained, it could transform back in a short period of time.
This was the realm that Muzan Kibutsuji had currently reached!
"Fufufufufu~, lucky guy," Doflamingo chuckled and agreed to Ibara's wish.
He then waved his hand, telling an attendant to fetch the item.
Soon, the attendant with a graceful figure brought another Purple Box representing an Epic Grade Secret Treasure.
Another attendant's tray held a folded Top 100 Coat.
Ibara's gaze instantly became fervent; he was already so excited that he was trembling slightly.
It wasn't just him; the higher-ups of The Empire in the Imperial Arms World and the Imperial Fist Temple were also the same.
Just as the complete set of Armament Haki techniques Hank received would benefit the Beast God World, the Life Return Full Stage Cultivation Secret Method that Ibara was now wishing for would naturally also benefit them.
Of course, the premise was that he was willing to share...
