Chapter 118: The Challenge

The world before him was Date A Live. In Mu Yang's memories, the primary power in this anime originated from Spirits, followed by technology. While Mu Yang was uninterested in most things in this series, there was one person whose abilities he found immensely useful.

Kurumi Tokisaki, the Spirit of Time. Time manipulation was a potent ability anywhere. He wondered if his own adaptive immortality would allow him to acquire that power, but he had already gained a remarkable ability from Yang Feng.

Mu Yang raised his hand, and a searing flame materialized from thin air. This was the Phoenix Flame of Yang Feng. Through Yang Feng’s ritual of burning him, Mu Yang had not only gained extreme heat resistance but also harbored a wisp of the Phoenix Flame within his body. As long as he fueled it with his soul power, the wisp would expand. Of course, he only possessed that single wisp; if he fully exhausted it, he would be unable to manifest the flame until it recovered. Although the flames manifested via soul power had a lower temperature, they were sufficient to handle most predicaments.

Mu Yang flicked his wrist, and the Phoenix Flame instantly blanketed the sky. The young girls flying toward him suffered extensive burns, though this was only because Mu Yang had deliberately held back. Otherwise, the flame would have reduced everything it touched to ash.

This wasn't because Mu Yang wanted to spare them or felt soft-hearted; it was because if he didn't give them a taste of hardship, they would persist in hounding him. Yet, if he killed them, they would view him as a mortal enemy and pursue him relentlessly. Only by applying the right amount of force could he issue a warning without escalating the situation too far.

Just as Mu Yang prepared to leave, a missile struck his body. Although he suffered no damage, the immense impact caught him off guard. A light sword then slashed at his neck, but beyond breaking a thin layer of skin, nothing happened.

Caught off guard once more, Mu Yang realized that his body was being slowly purged of impurities by the burning of the Phoenix Flame, and the toxins within him had grown even more potent through the ordeal.

Mu Yang threw a tentative punch, but his opponent immediately retreated, dodging the blow. Mu Yang caught a glimpse of her and nearly froze again: it was Origami Tobiichi, one of the main heroines of Date A Live.

What a coincidence.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the system suddenly notified him that he had completed an achievement.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement: World Destroyer.
Completion method: Destroy three worlds.
Obtained title: World Destroyer."

"Title: World Destroyer
Quality: ★★★★★★
Title Effect 1: Increases damage dealt to any entity connected to the world's origin by 50%.
Title Effect 2: Enemy of the World. Upon entering a world, the host is automatically classified as Chaotic Evil.
Description: You have destroyed the roots of worlds. Although they were three beginner-level worlds, this does not hinder your excellent potential, World Destroyer."

Seeing this achievement, Mu Yang had three question marks floating over his head. He had indeed destroyed two worlds, but that was still one short. How did it count as three?

"Host, the Kagune from the Ghoul world was forcibly extracted from the world's consciousness and granted to the host."

"Fine, whatever. Let's not worry about that for now. I need to find a quiet place to absorb Yang Feng's spirit ring." Mu Yang opened a portal to the Far North and stepped through.
