Chapter 17 - Still Great!

This time, Shun felt a qualitative change in his body.

Every cell in his body told him he now had the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

With his current vitality, unless his head was shattered to pieces or he was pierced dozens of times and his heart sliced into eight parts, it would be hard to injure him with regular wounds.

More importantly, Shun now possessed the life force of an adult Senju Hashirama. As long as his mental energy could keep up, he would be able to refine chakra quantities comparable to or even surpassing a Bijuu.

The cooldown period for the Myriad Realms Roulette was one month.

He still had 3 points left, but he didn't plan to use them all right now.

He had a vague feeling that if his vitality and spirit became unbalanced, he might actually lose control of his body and turn into something akin to a Cthulhu-like existence.

"I can practice these Ninjutsu and Forbidden Techniques myself this month, but I need to strengthen myself first."

Shun added a point to [Two Tomoe Sharingan (+)]. The tomoe, which originally flowed in his blood, transformed into three.

With the upgrade to [Three Tomoe Sharingan (+)], he felt his spiritual power increase, and the sense of disharmony between his spirit and body suddenly diminished.

What surprised him most was that there was now only one plus sign left?

"Roulette, what happened?"

[Ding! After a point is used for enhancement, the Mangekyo has no pre-set eye abilities and can be customized by consuming additional points.]

"What if I evolve it myself?"

[The Sharingan is an eye that reflects the soul and will create eye techniques based on the host's mind.]

[Note: Mangekyo can only be awakened if the Uchiha experiences intense negative emotions (such as witnessing the death of a loved one) and generates special chakra.]

Reading this, Shun paused.

First: He was an orphan.

Second: He hadn't won over any sweethearts yet.

And besides, Shun would never let such a tragedy happen.

"Use a point!"

[Two Tomoe Sharingan (+)] → [Mangekyo Sharingan (++)]

A cool stream of energy flowed into his brain, sending a chilling sensation straight to his consciousness, as if it was merging with his soul. A soft, delicate feeling, like spring rain, appeared in his eyes.

The three black tomoe became more distinct, finally transforming into a six-pointed star within his blood-red eyes.

The final barrier between his body and soul disappeared. Shun walked to the bathroom in disbelief, looked at the six-pointed star pupils in the mirror, and was overwhelmed with emotion.

No wonder people these days liked to "cheat"!

This was the power of cheating!

Three Roulette Points had saved him ten years of growth, allowing him to perfect his Sage Body directly.

Two Roulette Points enabled his Two Tomoe Sharingan to reach the Mangekyo level without him having to endure intense pain.

Among Sharingan users, which Uchiha with a Mangekyo hadn't lost a father, mother, sibling, or even a lover?

Shun tapped the interface for [Mangekyo Sharingan (++)], and sure enough, a list of eye techniques appeared below.

———

[Tsukuyomi]

[Amaterasu]

[Kamui (Left)]

[Kamui (Right)]

[Izanagi]

[Izanami]

[Susano'o]

———

"Man, I'm so broke!"

Crying internally, Shun spent 1 Roulette Point to activate Susano'o.

No other reason—he just wanted to pilot a "Gundam" and try slicing through meteors with a sword.

When he returned to Konoha, to repay Danzo's "favor," he had to use Susano'o to give him a good slash, no matter what.

Leaving the last Roulette Point for True Spirit Reincarnation, Shun clicked on the final reward from his journey.

[Myriad Realms Lottery] x1

"Please, let me draw something good!"

The roulette within Shun's field of vision began to spin, and moments later, a completely unexpected ability appeared before him.

[Master-Slave Contract (Naruse Maria Edition)]

[The souls of both parties are linked through a magical contract. In the contract, the master controls the Slave's soul.]

At first glance, it seemed like a typical master-Slave contract ability from a magic world.

But as Shun carefully examined the ability, his expression grew increasingly strange.

This magic not only allowed the master to control the location of the Slave but also ensured their loyalty at all times—a key goal of the "master-Slave contract." When a Slave betrayed the master or felt they had done wrong, a curse would activate as punishment. In principle, the curse was shaped by the nature of the caster.

At first, Shun didn't pay attention to the specific version in parentheses at the end. He thought it was merely a master-Slave contract allowing him to control his subordinates.

But after reading carefully, he suddenly realized where this ability originated from!

—Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha!

An anime even wilder than the DxD series, and this master-Slave magic came from a succubus who spent all her time sleeping.

If a normal person used the curse binding the Slave, it would typically torment and burn the Slave's soul with unending pain.

But Shun had the downgraded version of Maria!

So when a subordinate disobeyed his will...unless he helped the other person alleviate the suffering, their spirit would be consumed by that feeling alone.

"It's decided. From now on, this contract is only for the opposite sex. Even if you kill me, I'm not signing this contract with another man."
