Chapter 153 Advanced Options - The Last Flame
"Long time no see, Major General Allen."
……
Sabaody Archipelago - Area 7, Babao Naval Base.
Originally, areas 1-29 of Sabaody were illegal zones for human trafficking and pirate transactions. After the Celestial Dragons were attacked, the Navy temporarily took over their management.
After that, Chinjao was promoted to Shichibukai and led the elite Happo Navy to Sabaody Archipelago.
Looking at the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, only Chinjao has truly achieved the original intention of establishing the Seven Warlords, namely, to alleviate the pressure on the Navy's supply lines.
……
On the high seas, the number of pirates far exceeds that of the navy.
There are always more people who yearn for freedom than those who uphold justice and order.
-
The residence remains a pavilion in the style of the Flower Kingdom.
In the hall, Allen sat in the main seat, with Lucci and Dor standing behind him.
Qingjiao and his several old staff officers sat on the left, while on the right were the new generation of the Babao Navy, led by Lao Cai and Bu Wu.
Allen picked up the teacup, both unfamiliar and familiar, and scraped the inside of the cup.
Take a bite...
"It's so bitter, give me some juice, pomegranate flavor."
……
Old Cai stared longingly at the teacup that Allen had put down. It was a precious tea that the old man had treasured. The Flower Kingdom could only harvest a few ounces of it all year round, and he himself had never tasted it.
I specially brewed a pot for this person... Instead of enjoying this fine tea, they want to drink fruit juice. Isn't that a terrible waste?
Noticing Lao Cai's gaze, Ya Lian smiled slightly.
"How do you like it?"
……
"How dare you! Who gave you permission to look directly at Lord Allen, Old Cai!" Huo Qiushan, the pillar of the Second Army, shouted sternly.
Three years ago, he could still sense the boundaries of Allen's strength, and even if he felt awe, it was still tinged with a sense of "understandability".
but now……
They could not sense any fluctuations in Allen's power, and he walked, sat, and lay down just like an ordinary person.
It's not about returning to simplicity and purity...
Rather, it's a sense of distance that a higher being cannot comprehend!
……
Huo Qiushan was no stranger to top-tier warriors on the high seas; he had seen Garp and Shiki in their prime.
Allen felt so different to him, it was like...
A monster molded into human form by terrifying energy!
It's completely impossible to predict what this guy will do next!
……
So even though Allen was asking with a smile, Huo Qiushan was prepared for the worst and immediately reprimanded Lao Cai, hoping that Allen would not suddenly attack Lao Cai.
Others didn't think as much as he did.
Green Pepper looked at Huo Qiushan in surprise: "Old Huo, why are you in such a hurry? Allen didn't say anything!"
……
"Hey, he seems super afraid of you. Did you do something bad to him before?" Dor asked, leaning closer.
Allen was also confused.
Why are you acting like a tyrant? I just asked him if he wanted it, and if so, he could take it. Don't waste it.
Allen's brow furrowed; he realized something.
Consciousness returned to the depths of the mind, to that single golden spark of chaos.

"Hunting the Celestial Dragons - Mia"
"Hunting Difficulty Rating - Extremely High Risk"
"Mission complete, five chances to draw"
Non-knowledge-related options have been extracted and can be retrieved repeatedly; they are listed in no particular order.
1. Shaped puppets
2. Collection of Wood Release Techniques from the Ninja World
3,……
Options with higher correlation to holders are being prioritized; selection in progress.
……
By acquiring the [Root Uniqueness] trait, the holder triggers higher-level options.
Five selection opportunities can be combined to make one high-level choice. The items are not limited to knowledge and "wisdomless items", but cover many timelines.
The value of higher-level options far exceeds the holder's [fundamental uniqueness], therefore, it is not guaranteed that they will be drawn, with a probability of 0.78% to 45%.
Does the holder wish to make a higher-level choice?
……
……
The probability ranges from less than one percent to forty-five percent, much like the time span connecting the ninja world from one to one hundred years before...
This panel is far too sloppy!
……
Allen looked at the higher-level options.
The following options are in no particular order—
1. Shaped Puppet (Exceptional Quality)
This is a wearable magical puppet. In its dressed form, forging speed is increased by 10-50 times, and it can activate the "Disintegration" mode, temporarily increasing its energy level by 100-300 times. (The risk depends on the holder, but is relatively low.)
2. The Stone Throne
It can extract 30%-50% of the energy of all extraordinary individuals within a one-kilometer radius of the throne and release it all at once (limited to use above the throne, carries a high risk of explosion).
3. Seal the Nine Dragon Arms
Under certain conditions, the nine evil dragons in the arm can be released (extremely high risk; the nine dragons once destroyed a small dimension and are uncontrollable).
4,……
……
So... you're the manufacturer of shaped puppets, right?
Was this panel developed to sell mascot dolls?
The advanced options should still be ranked first. Saying that there is no order of priority is just burying your head in the sand!
……
Of the advanced options, the only one Allen was familiar with was...
134. Divine Tree Seed - (Ten-Tails)
The origin of chakra in the ninja world, when planted on a specific planet, it can grow into a divine tree, bearing chakra fruits. Consuming large quantities can increase one's life level (no risks, high returns, an excellent plant with a high conversion rate).
Allen was surprised by the panel's evaluation of the Ten-Tails.
That thing...no immediate risk? Excellent plant?
The previous extremely high-risk cases were incredibly exaggerated!
……
Should you choose to draw five times to guarantee a win, or gamble on a higher-level option with an extremely low probability of winning?
Moreover, even if you win, you still have to gamble that the option you chose isn't some high-risk product.
Currently, the knowledge categories extracted in common practice include—
A collection of Fire Release ninjutsu, a collection of Genjutsu, Uchiha swordsmanship, and items including a shaped puppet, Shinkaimaru, and a Flame Fan.
For the time being, Allen couldn't think of anything else that was absolutely necessary.
He hasn't fully figured out illusion techniques and fire-style techniques yet, and his swordsmanship also has room for improvement. He also needs to develop his ice-style techniques and Devil Fruit abilities...
The best outcome would be to draw a few items with massive destructive power, like the bomb that can destroy a large island; otherwise, it's not very meaningful...
Want to gamble?
……
nonsense!
With the advanced options already available, how could I possibly resist taking a gamble!
At worst, I'll just waste five chances to draw. I'll only regret it now, but I'll regret it forever if I don't draw!
The higher the risk, the greater the reward!
Allen did not hesitate to choose to combine the number of draws and perform a higher-level draw.
-
Prioritizing products with high relevance to the holder, higher-order options are being extracted.
As for the relevance... if I win, it's very likely to be the Ten-Tails, or it might be a Magical Puppet (Supernatural version).
I've always been lucky, so winning the lottery is only natural!
If I could become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki... I might be able to overcome the limits of life!
……
The good news is that I won, but unfortunately it wasn't the Ten-Tails, nor was it the No. 1 product, the Shaped Puppet.
……
-
A spark of golden flame ignited deep within Allen's consciousness.
"Select products with high relevance to the holder"
The End - Ember
The final flame of the world's end, a conceptual spark.
……
Feature 1 - Durability:
The flames use the target's very existence as fuel, burning continuously until the target is annihilated; as the intensity increases, it can reach [Root Annihilation].
……
Feature 2 – Propagation:
A powerful user can directly infuse the mind of another person with a destructive, insane will through sight or contact, causing them to lose control and spontaneously combust.
……
Feature 3 – Terminal:
The target burned away by this fire, its traces of existence, and its causal relationship with others, will become blurred and eventually be forgotten by the world.
……
Feature 4 - Burnout:
If overused, two things may happen.
1 - The container broke, and the final embers spread.
Without specific means of prevention, the remaining embers indiscriminately burn everything in the world to ashes, returning it to oneness.
2 - Once the embers have burned out, the holder forgets its existence.
……
(The specific risk depends on the behavior of the terminal ember container; the lowest risk is no risk, and the highest risk is unlimited.)
It is both a flame of hope for repairing a broken world and a flame of despair that burns the world to ashes.
