Chapter 56: Saint Seiya, Devil Fruit, Majin Buu

Chapter 56: Saint Seiya, Devil Fruit, Majin Buu

Every war had to have supplies. There was some truth to this.

Not because of the need for supplies, but because there was a need to fight! Roy was just a low-rank demon for now, and his current fighting methods were basically melee. Imagine how dangerous it would be for him on a chaotic battlefield with magic flying. No one desired death. And since he did not want to die, it was necessary to convert all his savings into immediate combat power.

Was it worse for a person to be living without money or to have a lot of money but be dead? Roy always felt that the latter was the most tragic. Only when you were alive could you have the capital to become stronger. Did he not accumulate souls to deal with such a moment?

Thinking back, it was the first time Roy possessed so many souls at one time. He used whatever he had when he was in the Abyss. The most he had ever used was the hundred-odd to materialize the T-Virus. The six hundred-odd souls he had now gave Roy a huge boost in confidence.

Therefore, he intended to spend them all in one shot, wanting to see how much he could strengthen himself with them.

During his time following Xeron’s expedition, he did not need to fight every day, so Roy used his free time designing his strengthening plans. It was not that it was the critical moment he needed to start his designs. However, designing and drawing the materials required a fair amount of time after all. He was worried that it would be too late when the time came.

In this high-magic world, he expected to meet powerful creatures such as dragons, angels, behemoths, and even titans. These powerful creatures were not something Roy could handle at his current stage, so his designs were mostly defensive.

That’s right. Defensive, defend once, feel good once, defend all the time, and feel good all the time!

Roy was also beginning to understand why demons put so much emphasis on bloodlines. Looking at dragons and titans, which were not born powerful? Any infant dragon could probably kill dozens of low-rank demons. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the strength, the higher the growth limit. It was the same even when he was human. Even reincarnation became a skill. Being born into a wealthy family and being born into a poor family were two completely different growth environments.

He did not want to admit it, but classes did indeed exist...

Roy currently did not have the capital to deal with these powerful creatures, and he had no reason to continue fighting for Xeron either. His goals were simple: stay alive, find a way to kill Xeron, and be free from the restraint of the demon contract.

Therefore, Roy’s first strengthening plan was a set of armor!

Be it humans, demons, elves, or even orcs, it was very common to use foreign objects to make weapons and armor to enhance their attack and defense. Roy was naturally no exception. Therefore, he designed a set of armor for himself at the beginning and continuously revised it. Roy felt dissatisfied with the armor even after that, so he simply changed it into a set of Holy Cloth!

Yes, Holy Cloth! A Holy Cloth from Saint Seiya! Of course, he was just referring to their appearances here.

As an art designer, in addition to requiring his own creativity, Roy imitated some classic drawings before. Not only him, but anyone with a foundation in drawing and was obsessed with the anime probably tried to imitate its art. The only difference was that Roy was a professional and could draw better.

When Roy began, he designed it to be the Gemini Cloth. He drew it as a one piece directly, not the kind that combined. He chose Gemini because Roy himself was a Gemini. After thinking about it, he decided to change it because the shiny gold-colored armor appearance was too incompatible with a demon. In the end, he changed it to one of Hades’s Specters, Celestial Fierce Star Rhadamanthys’s Wyvern Surplice!

This set of Surplice really fit Roy’s image of a demon because this Surplice originally had a helmet with a pair of demon horns and a pair of wings similar to his demon wings. It even had a tail... Roy only needed to remove the wings and tail parts and leave places for his own demon wings and tail to stretch out. The same went for the helmet since Roy had his own demon horns.

When Roy combined these parts on to his image in the system interface, it actually looked like an original set of Surplice!

He also colored it an inky black and purple and even used gradient effect to depict the gem-like luster...

It could be said that this set of the Celestial Fierce Star’s Surplice was exactly the same other than it had no power. Roy was really too good.

This was one of Roy’s favorite plans. When the time came, he needed only to define the attributes and let the system grant the defensive attributes and add magic immunity or the like. Then, it would not be much different from the real Surplice to Roy.

The second plan designed by Roy was much simpler than the Surplice because he sketched a... strange fruit!

This fruit looked like a pineapple, but Roy drew spiral patterns on its surface.

Yes, Roy drew a Devil Fruit!

Roy had not yet figured out what definition he wanted for this Devil Fruit. He initially thought of defining it for invisibility, and it did not matter if that was how the Invisibility Devil Fruit really looked. The most important thing for the system was Roy’s definition.

If he defined it as an Invisibility Devil Fruit, it would be an Invisibility Devil Fruit. At first, Roy thought that he would gain the ability to become invisible after eating it and escape from the battlefield. However, he then thought that the ability was too simplistic. Perhaps it would be better if he defined it as the Magma-Magma Fruit. He could turn into the demon version of Akainu and set anywhere he went aflame. Not only would he gain strong attack capabilities, but general physical attacks would also not work on him after elementalization.

The only problem was, would there also be weaknesses if such a Devil Fruit were to be materialized? For example, would he fear water and become a dry duck? Moreover, Roy could not be sure if magic damage could hurt the user like Haki.

Of course, Roy knew that he could eliminate the weaknesses of the Devil Fruit through his definitions, like with the perfect T-Virus. However, this would definitely sharply increase the consumption of souls. A weaker version of the T-Virus probably needed only a dozen souls, but a perfect version required hundred-odd souls. The consumption of souls for a perfect Devil Fruit, a fantasy and non-scientific item, would probably be even more terrifying! It was unknown if six hundred souls would be able to materialize it.

The third plan was currently just an idea, and he had yet to draw it. It was not because he had no time, but because... he did not know to draw it!

The reason was that his third plan was to get a bloodline, the bloodline of an immortal body!

In his vision, Roy intended to completely transform his body. He wanted to turn his body into an immortal one like Majin Buu. Even if his body were to be broken into pieces, he could completely recover!

This vision was, of course, the product of wishful thinking. It was definitely impossible for him to become as strong as Majin Buu. If he could really transform that way, let alone fearing dragons, he could just conquer the entire Abyss. However, not even six million souls would be enough, let alone six hundred!

Roy was very aware of this as well. Therefore, he did not need the powerful strength of Majin Buu but only needed his immortal body.

He felt that the consumption would probably be much smaller if he did not have such power. What if the system determined that it could be materialized? Would he not profit a lot from it and be rest assured from now on?

However, an idea remained an idea. Roy found that he could not draw it when he really wanted to!

During his research over this period of time, Roy found that he required carriers for his transformations and definitions because he could not define his original body nor add attributes.

For example, he could not add definitions such as Magic Resistance or Holy Resistance directly. He could only transform each part separately when his modifications were carried out. In other words, if he wanted to add resistance attributes to himself, he needed to add them to a modification plan or an item and then integrate it into his body for them to take effect.

However, the definition of an immortal body could almost be regarded as a bloodline, which was a physical characteristic. Roy could not draw something as microscopic as this. He could not possibly draw a large red blood cell and then shove it into his body, right?

Therefore, he felt that he could only draw a tube of potion like the T-Virus and then define it. It might work if he were to describe the characteristics of the immortal body in detail.

However, Roy had some reservations. Putting aside the question of whether or not his six hundred souls could materialize such a potion, even if it could be materialized, he was worried that there could be a clash with the T-Virus he used earlier, causing conditions such as gene collapse and so on.

Despite Daddy System being an assurance, who knew if he would end up killing himself if he did too many changes?
