'I'd rather not make an enemy out of her considering the fact that she owns an empire supposedly, but unlike Larry, I doubt I can strike a deal with her, right? Not a deal that'll benefit , at least. Yup, my instincts agree. Well, fuck. Guess I'll just go all in and hope she doesn't hold a grudge,' Daz concluded.
He summoned Hamson from its brand and willed it to cut off ii's head. As Hamson was flying over the stage, Daz then summoned his two clones as well as Rimmy's main body.
ii sulked as she used her bamboo pipe to blow a large plu of smoke that perfectly hid her body from sight.
"Death Beam," all three Daz's said in response to the smoke as they layered their beams to perfectly sweep through the mist.
Rimmy did his part too. He combined with his main body and then began spamming his skill, Crystal Cannon.
Less than two seconds had passed before the fog had been completely cleared, revealing a slightly worse-for-wear ii who was sweating quite heavily.
She was constantly using her bamboo pipe to deflect Hamson, but each ti the sharp blade of Hamson's head t the body of her pipe, the bamboo chipped and splintered.
"I'd surrender if I were you. If you don't, that weapon of yours will be destroyed pretty fast. It's an SS-ranked item, so I dunno about you, but I'd personally want to prevent sothing like that from breaking," Daz advised casually.
ii grinned. "I'm not one to give up so easily."
Daz sighed lightly. "Fine. Want to crush you? I'll crush you then. Justice Chains." He had initially not wanted to stir her up, but his instincts had been screaming at him to deal with her drastically.
Thousands of pale-grey chains rose up from the wooden stage and wrapped around ii. The second they ca into contact with her, she began shrieking violently as if her soul was being ripped apart.
Daz held his hand out to stop his clones and Rimmy from attacking her any further. At the sa ti, Hamson flew back into his palm. "You've got thirty minutes to surrender. If you don't, then what you're feeling now, you'll be feeling for all thirty of those minutes. After your mind has shattered, I'll kill you."
Daz shoved his hands into his pockets and raised his voice as he said, "I've not got any rcy for a person who sells children for rit points, but surrender now, and I won't pursue this in the real world."
While the secret that he had seen with his Secret Override function of his skill Crystal Digger's Master Identification was fairly useless, knowing that this woman was covertly trafficking children to otherworlders sohow was actually proving to be the perfect nugget of information he needed to destroy this woman without tarnishing his reputation to the various champions of Earth. It has spurned him into checking her very... interesting cri list.
ii had a defiant look in her eyes as she bit off her own tongue and spat it out onto the floor.
Daz shrugged. "Thankfully you have the Regeneration stat, huh? I guess that'll keep you from bleeding out while I tell everyone here every single cri that you've committed, won't it?"
The reaper ignored the woman whose face had imdiately paled, leaving his clones to keep a close watch on her as he turned to face the auction hall.
"Before I was an Archreaper, I was a Justice Reaper. Being a Justice Reaper gave three very useful skills that you all may be interested in," Daz said as he glanced at Pheldorapod briefly to confirm that it was okay for him to talk to everyone right now.
'Oh, please! Don't let stop you now! This is all far too entertaining!' the octopus yelled internally as he slowly bowed his head to grant his consent.
"The first was the one that you just saw. It's called Justice Chains, and it allows to bind my opponents for a set amount of ti which is dependent on how many cris the target has committed based on my moral standards. It also forces the target to live through the pain that their cris have caused. It has a limit of thirty minutes, but with a person like Xiao ii who has committed exactly fourteen-thousand-six-hundred-and-forty-one cris by my standards, I'm pretty confident that her mind will be broken beyond repair if she doesn't surrender as soon as possible," Daz explained very calmly. 'I'll keep the fact that it's pretty much unblockable a secret for now.'
"That leads to my second skill, Archreaper's Gaze. Now, this skill does a lot of impressive stuff. For a start, it lets see another person's cris, which is how I know how many and what cris Xiao ii has committed. Another of its effects makes practically invincible to people who have committed a lot of cris," Daz claid.
He paced along the stage for a few seconds to let that information really sink in. "Were I to undo my Justice Chains, she could attack all that she wanted, but I doubt I'd lose a single point of lifeforce. Hell, maybe she'd even heal ? I'm not sure. I haven't tested that out."
'Mu negated this skill, but that was when it was only Justice Reaper's Gaze. I should let him hit with his strongest attack at so point. Either my halo will save , or nothing will happen. I'm interested to see if he can ignore the Archreaper's Gaze...' Daz thought for a brief mont.

"The third and final skill I'm going to tell you about isn't really a skill. It's a racial trait, but regardless, it's incredibly useful," Daz said with that emotionless voice of his. "It's called 'Eyes of Truth'. Yes, it's as simple as it sounds. This racial trait lets know when soone is lying. It's not really relevant right now, but it might be soon since my goal is to unite Earth before our 'tests' are over. If we're not united, I believe that we won't stand a chance considering the direction that we're slowly being pushed towards."
With that shocking proclamation out of the way, Daz cracked his neck and smiled. "Well, I guess I'll start listing off all of Xiao ii's cris now."
Human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, murder, assault, sexual assault, coercion, bribery, you na it, Xiao ii had probably done it.
As Daz was busy listing all of these cris, ii was slowly being changed. Not only was her mind being viciously attacked by the Justice Chains, but the effect of Archreaper's Gaze and Daz's racial trait - Reforr, were slowing making her regret her prior actions.
Daz hadn't ntioned it, but Archreaper's Gaze still held the ability to make his words more persuasive to those who had committed cris.
After ten minutes had passed, all Xiao ii wanted was forgiveness. Tears covered her youthful face as her aged soul shifted and morphed to conform to Daz's words.
Archreaper's Gaze was a very subtle skill, but it was incredibly powerful and held a nigh-infinite potential.
Seeing the change in ii's expression, Daz stopped talking and approached her. "Your tongue's regenerated already, hasn't it?"
She hesitated, but every fibre of her being told her to answer him truthfully. She nodded her head very slowly.
"Good. Surrender and then repent for your wrong-doings. No amount of action can make up for the cris that you have committed, so live the rest of your life trying your fucking hardest to make up for it as much as possible, got it?" Daz demanded in a threatening manner.
A haziness filled the woman's eyes before she once again nodded.
Congratulations. Thought seed [Strive to better all of Earth and its people] successfully implanted into the host [Xiao ii].
Daz lowered himself into a crouch and placed his mouth right next to ii's ear. "When I next see you, and I will see you, by the way, if you haven't done as I've told you to, then mark my words, you will never live another mont free of my Justice Chains," he whispered monotonously.
Bobbing her head up and down almost maniacally, ii said, "Yes! I-I won't disappoint y-you! I-I surrender!"
Daz ran his fingers through his hair as he got back up and watched both his Justice Chains and Xiao ii vanish into thin air. He turned to Pheldorapod and smiled at him. "Thanks."
"No, no, thank you, Daz. You are the gift that just keeps on giving," Pheldorapod replied as he bowed grandly and returned Daz to his private suite.
Congratulations! You have won the challenge created by the silver ticket.
Your rewards: 39,000,000 rit points and a [Limitless Fruit of Evolution].
The total balance of the host is now: 122,085,395 [ 39,000,000].
On top of the absurd amount of rit points that he had won, Daz's ranking had finally gone up by a single digit, moving him from third place to second place on the rit ranking list.
Due to being in the top 2 for overall rit Points, the host will gain [Erald-level] access to the shop and system.As a reward for being in the top 2 for overall rit points, the host has been granted an [SSS-rank Item Token].
If Pala knew that Daz would have managed to gain so many rit points on his own, he might have vomited blood in regret since it was essentially unnecessary for him to have made such a demanding deal with the system. He could have also put fewer restrictions on his spade were Daz to have received it as an SSS-ranked item instead of an SS-ranked one.
Unfortunately for Pala, very few people in existence had the power to predict the future, and even fewer could do so accurately.
Daz reclined himself back into his sofa after he had put his new fruit and token into his pockets. He rubbed his neck and sighed heavily.
Han was staring at him warily while both Mu and Crusher were looking at him like he was the coolest thing in existence right now. As per usual, Rose was too busy to bother with her brother, however, Vanessa looked a bit worried.
"Um, that was, er, sothing? Was that, um, smart?" Vanessa asked, earning a set of narrowed eyes being pointed her way. "Uh, what I an is, isn't she uh, the owner of a city with more than two-million people in it?"
Crusher just laughed before Daz could even respond to the German teen. "Fuck 'em. Uriel, that was fuckin' aweso! Man, that sent chills up my spine when you treated her like your little bitch. Hahaha!"
Rose scoffed. "More work for to do. Just because Daz used his skills and traits to win over that woman, that doesn't an that the people back in Chongqing can't reverse what he did. Don't worry though, your genius little sister can at the very least keep the thought seed in her head from being tampered with."
Daz frowned. "I never considered that. Well, my instincts were telling that she was the type to hold a grudge, so even if I didn't do that and just beat her normally, she'd try to take it out on Fort Skip eventually. Understandable, I guess. I'd be pretty pissed off too if I lost a little under forty-million rit points."
He held his chin for a mont before his frown deepened. "What really worries was her affinity. How could a woman as baseless and lacking in morals like her be chaotic neutral, and not chaotic evil?"
Mu felt like he could answer that question. "Is it not like with my case? She does not see herself as evil. Perhaps she saw all of her cris as necessary evils in the face of her personal justice?"
Rose's jaw almost hit the floor. "Wow. You're not a complete idiot. I'm shocked." Mu grinned sheepishly in response.
"Is it really that simple?" Daz asked more to himself than to anyone in the room.
Rose just shook her head. "It hardly matters. Anyway, you're gonna piss off a lot more people with the next items, aren't you?"
"Indeed I am," he replied as he rubbed his head lightly. 'This headache again... It's gotten worse... I didn't even know that Archreapers could get headaches...'
