Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 3 The Unreliable System
As endless light energy continuously poured into the planet beneath his feet, Renn vaguely sensed that the ground beneath his feet had undergone tremendous changes!
The ground, which had seemed as fragile as tofu after his super evolution, gradually crystallized due to the exposure to artificial sunlight.

This has led to the planet's density increasing at an alarming rate.

As is well known, the denser a planet is, the stronger its gravity will be.

That's it now.

As the entire planet crystallized, the gravity on it surged dramatically!

Ten times the force of gravity, twenty times the force of gravity...

Because of the previous stellar explosion, all the celestial bodies that once existed in this star field, except for the planet where the Kingdom of Peace is located, have long been turned into ruins.

As the planet's gravity increased, it forcibly captured fragments of other celestial bodies and incorporated them into the planet beneath its feet.

Boom boom boom!
Huge meteorites rained down, causing people who had not yet fully adapted to the power brought by their super evolution to scramble for cover in a panic.

Fortunately, the density of this planet is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Otherwise, if so many celestial bodies fell, even if the people on them were safe, the planet would probably face destruction!

As meteorites continue to accumulate, the planet's size is rapidly increasing.

With the help of light energy, the newly captured meteorites also crystallized, keeping the planet's density at a constant level.

And the gravity of this planet has once again experienced a new increase.

Fifty times gravity, sixty times gravity...

The planet eventually reached a volume approximately sixty times that of Earth, and its gravity was more than one hundred and twenty times that of Earth!
Raine felt a sudden heaviness on his body, and the feeling of struggling to move that he had felt before seemed to return to him.

"Before I evolved, I was limited by gravity, and after I evolved, I'm still limited by gravity. Did I evolve for nothing?"

Renn was speechless.

For him after his super-evolution, gravity several tens of times stronger is completely manageable.

But now, with the gravity suddenly increasing to 120 times, it's somewhat beyond what people can handle.

Fortunately, this time he did not experience the excruciating pain of his internal organs being crushed.

He couldn't help but turn to look at the others, only to find that they were merely a little unaccustomed to it and it didn't significantly affect their ability to move.

On the contrary, right after they completed their super evolution, they felt a little lightheaded, and any slightly violent movement would cause catastrophic damage to the surface.

With a light leap, one can reach a height of hundreds of meters.

It's back to normal now.

"It seems that the effects of super evolution are completely different depending on the race."

"Before they evolved, the people of the Kingdom of Peace lived on a planet with gravity several times that of Earth, and their body density far exceeded that of humans on Earth."

"Therefore, this has become an advantage for them after they have completed their super evolution."

"But I, a fragile human being on Earth, am inherently inferior to them in terms of physical condition, and even after evolution, I still have some inherent deficiencies."

Renn seemed to understand something.

He sighed inwardly: "I just don't know if these shortcomings can be made up for later."

······
"Sizzle..."

"The strongest... strongest Shinigami system... system reboot complete!"

"Start...start detecting the surrounding environment..."

"Testing complete. Environmental anomalies detected. Conclusion: This is not the destination, the World of Death..."

······
A faint interference sound suddenly rang in his ears, immediately attracting his attention.

Is it the system?
So I have a system?
This is actually a stuttering system?
Destination: The World of Death?
So, I must have transmigrated into the world of Bleach?

But for some unknown reason, he ended up in the Ultraman world?
He was both amused and exasperated. Are all systems this unprofessional these days?

Well, something is better than nothing. I can only see what changes this system can bring to him, and hopefully it won't abandon me and run away.

······
"System...reset initiating...reset...reset complete!"

"Detect...detect the host's soul, begin...begin the Shinigami transformation!"

······
hum!
Raine felt a faint force beginning to stimulate his soul, and gradually his soul seemed to undergo some kind of change.

The surrounding light energy was rapidly absorbed and flowed into his soul.

In just a short while, the strength of his soul body was directly increased by about two times.

Moreover, a new kind of power, different from the light energy he had previously sensed, was vaguely emerging within him. This power was quite peculiar.

It is a power born from the soul, yet it can perfectly merge with light energy.

Moreover, this power can also absorb light energy to strengthen itself.

·······
"Death... Death God transformation complete. Beginning... Beginning to customize beginner's basic fighting techniques, as well as slashing and hand-to-hand combat skills, based on the host's current state."

"Start... begin to define the level distinction for the host based on the host's own state."

"Currently, the spiritual pressure level is: a Shinigami rookie."

"The system is severely lacking in energy and will face shutdown. It will restart once it has accumulated enough energy or the host's strength reaches the 'Senior Officer' standard."

·······
The stuttering system barely appeared before it was forced to shut down again.

Looking at the Zanpakuto called Asauchi that had suddenly appeared in his hand, he fell into deep thought.

At the same time, many sword techniques and martial arts skills suddenly appeared in my mind.

This should be the Grim Reaper's slashing techniques and hand-to-hand combat skills.

"To become a Shinigami?"

Feeling the changes within his body, the light energy on his body had now completely merged with the so-called spiritual pressure, transforming into another peculiar energy.

The super evolution in the Ultraman universe is not simply a matter of physical evolution.

The soul can also evolve.

Throughout the history of the Ultra Universe, powerful soul entities have emerged in great numbers.

For example, Juda, who is regarded as the greatest enemy by the Land of Light.

After death, it transforms into a spacetime vengeful spirit, almost immortal, existing within the distortion of spacetime. It can be resurrected once every 50,000 years, and each time it is resurrected, it gains even greater power.

Distorted spacetime cannot be eliminated, it can only be sealed.

The later giant Yapool also possessed a similar immortality, allowing it to be resurrected time and again in other dimensions and hunt down Ace and the Ultra races in various universes.

If villains possess such soul power, then the Ultra race, as the protagonists of the Ultra Universe, naturally wouldn't have much weaker soul strength either.

At the moment of completing his super evolution, Renn underwent a super evolution from the inside out.

The power of the soul has also undergone a complete transformation.

Even without undergoing the Shinigami transformation, he felt that his soul strength after completing the super evolution was probably dozens of times stronger than those captain-level characters in the Bleach world.

While the world of Bleach has some extremely flawed settings, it is, after all, only located inside a planet.

Compared to supernatural races that can forcibly distort the universe's spacetime with their souls and whose souls are even indelible, this is still a drop in the ocean.

After becoming a Grim Reaper, Raine's soul strength naturally became even more terrifying, far exceeding the scope of a normal Grim Reaper.

He then tried to release his own faint spiritual pressure.

With a loud "bang," cracks appeared in the crystalline ground within a few steps of him!

“The pressure of spiritual pressure originally belongs to the power of the soul, and in theory it should not be able to directly affect the physical level.”

"Is it because of the fusion with light energy?"

Raine roughly understood the principle behind it: "It seems that I am fundamentally different from the so-called Grim Reaper. Let's call this power spiritual pressure for now."

"Moreover, it is precisely because of the existence of spiritual pressure that my congenitally deficient physique has been greatly alleviated."

For the Ultra race, the body is merely a container for energy.

The fusion of spiritual pressure has increased his body density to some extent. Perhaps with the continued growth of spiritual pressure in the future, the so-called congenital deficiency will no longer be a problem.

As the people of the Kingdom of Peace completed their super evolution, they all curiously studied their new forms.

A figure, interwoven with gold and purple, slowly descended from outside the atmosphere.

With a wave of his hand, he showered down endless radiance, instantly restoring the ground that had been ravaged by the meteorite.

His voice immediately rang out: "Newborn Ultramen, this power is a gift from the universe. I hope you can use this power to protect the justice in your hearts!"

"I look forward to seeing you grow!"

This scene shocked everyone and remained unforgettable for a long time.
