When that time comes, Moria won't need to defend himself; he can smash all enemies with his fists.

But... how much effort would it take to connect the shadow spaces of the two worlds?

The stronger the world becomes, the more effort is needed to connect it.

Previously, Moria wanted to connect the Qin's Moon world and the shadow space of One Piece. He carefully sensed and calculated that he would need to accumulate at least a thousand cubic meters of mental energy to make the connection.

Previously, Moria spent over twenty years in the Demon Slayer world, and it took his two shadow clones working together to accumulate mental energy slightly larger than a water tank.

Moria felt it would be very difficult to accumulate enough mental energy to fill a thousand cubic meters, like a mountain, without leaving behind thousands of clones in the myriad worlds, and with thousands of years of accumulation.

In a world as powerful as Swallowing the Stars, the barrier to the shadow space is so thick that it's almost despair-inducing. To open a passage through its shadow space requires an enormous amount of mental effort.

At this point, Moria has no hope.

The idea of ​​using the power of the Swallowed Star World to directly pass through the One Piece world was essentially aborted before it even began.

"Let's take one last look at the world."

With a flash of consciousness, Moria arrived on the fourth large white sphere and reached out to touch it.

Superman?

Batman?

Diana?

Neptune?

Mother box?

……

"DC Universe? I wonder if it's the movie version... or the comic book version?"

Based on the information he received, Moria could easily determine what kind of world the last large white cosmic sphere represented.

The DC Universe is a comic book universe that rivals the Marvel Universe.

In this world, there are indeed some hard metals and powerful physiques, such as Superman and The Flash.

If Moria were to join DC Comics and acquire Superman's physique and the Flash's Speed ​​Force through shadow absorption, his power would increase to an abnormal level.

If the shadow dimension of the One Piece world and the DC Universe could be connected, then Moria, by using his mental power to transform his body from the One Piece world into a superhuman, could still easily defeat all enemies in the One Piece world.

But the same problem remains: given the strength of the DC Universe, the mental effort required to open a portal between the shadow spaces of the two worlds is also enormous.

For now, there's no need to consider what power we can draw upon in the DC Universe.

Moreover, the DC universe is not safe; it is also a dangerous world.

After all, the DC Universe is notorious for rebooting at the drop of a hat, and even someone like Moria, who isn't very familiar with DC comics, knows this joke.

It is clear that the danger level of this world is not much different from that of Swallowing the Star.

Moria wouldn't dare go in without being prepared.

But it doesn't matter, he's not going to the DC Universe right now. Even if he did, he would watch some DC movies, comics, and anime in this parallel world of Earth before going in.

Especially now that there are cases where living people possessing bodies and being reborn can lead to obsessions that imprison their will, Moria wouldn't dare to enter this new world without being prepared.

If he started from the womb, it would be better, without the influence of obsessions. He could transfer his will to escape at any time without fearing that if his will was imprisoned, he would be killed and his will would perish along with him.

If he were still like he is in this parallel world of Earth, with obsessions and his will imprisoned, and if there were still obsessions that were difficult to fulfill, there would be no solution, and he would be dragged to his death.

This is not the outcome Moria wanted to see.

In order to leave clones in other worlds more safely, Moria needs to leave clones in worlds with lower danger levels and accumulate mental energy over a longer period of time.

This is how you can use your mental energy to convert into power and save lives when you encounter danger in a high-risk world.

Of the four newly emerged worlds, the two with the highest danger levels are undoubtedly Swallowing Star and the DC Universe.

The worlds with the lowest risk are The Legend of Qin and One Piece.

To be on the safe side, let's start exploring from these two worlds.

Don't pay too much attention to the One Piece world; the manga hasn't ended yet, so we can't gather much information.

I need to rewatch "The Legend of Qin" later to familiarize myself with the plot so I can play it more easily once I get into the game.

After completing these two worlds, then go for the worlds of Devouring the Stars and DC Universe.

After making the decision, Moria withdrew from the Black and White Universe, and his consciousness returned to Wang Ming in the real world.

Chapter 358 Solidification Ability

Bang! Bang!

Moria opened the door, looked at Lin Yang who was standing on top of Abin's body, stepped aside to let him pass, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were leaving?"

As Lin Yang walked inside, he said, "There's something I forgot to remind you of."

"What is it?" Moria returned to the sofa and sat down, looking at Lin Yang sitting on the sofa next to him and asking curiously.

Lin Yang looked at Moria and asked seriously, "You must have used your mental power to use powers that don't belong to this world in other worlds, right?"

Moria nodded and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Lin Yang said seriously, "In the future, when you go to other worlds, it's best not to use your mental energy to transform the power of the rules of other worlds unless absolutely necessary, otherwise you'll easily be detected by the avatars of the main gods of other sector universes."

"Do I sense what's going to happen?" Moria had a bad feeling.

Lin Yang shrugged and said helplessly, "Just like I said before, you already have my mark on you. When the other gods sense you, they only have one choice: to kill you. They will not have a second choice."

"Didn't you say that the Supreme God can't come to the Earth sector universe?" Moria was anxious. If the Supreme God were to take action personally, he would surely die.

Lin Yang said, "First, even if they can't do it themselves, they will send their subordinates to kill you. Second, I'm talking about within the Earth sector universe; I can guarantee that those main gods won't personally attack you. But other sector universes are different, such as the One Piece sector universe."

Lin Yang said helplessly, "Didn't you see that I didn't dare to contact you in the One Piece world? I only dared to speak up when you arrived in Qin's Moon, a world belonging to the Earth sector universe. It's because in other sector universes, it's not my home ground, and I have to be careful myself. I can't protect you."

Got it!

I need to be extra careful in everything from now on.

Just play it safe!

Moria didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Then... what about power that can be used without mental effort? Could it be used in other worlds?"

Moria suddenly realized that he could now use both the Observation Haki from the One Piece world and the Breathing Techniques from the Demon Slayer world. Although the effect of Observation Haki had weakened, the Breathing Techniques did not seem to have weakened at all to Moria.

He didn't know if the two abilities he could use in this world without using mental energy would be perceived by the main god.

Lin Yang smiled and explained, "No, the reason why mental power cultivators are envied in all the worlds is because some receiving power can be used freely in any world."

"Observation Haki in the One Piece world is an ability that receives external sounds and auras and exerts its power. This ability doesn't actually affect this world. It only affects your own mind, so the world's rules can't prohibit you from using it. Of course, this is something only those who cultivate mental strength can do. Those who don't have the temporary permission granted by the main god can't use any of the powers that are prohibited in other worlds, including Observation Haki."

"I see," Moria understood after Lin Yang's explanation. Simply put, as long as the power didn't leave his body, he could use it without needing to convert it with mental energy.

Wait... what about breathing techniques?

"What about the breathing techniques from the Demon Slayer world?" Moria pressed.

Observation Haki is a receptive type and does not affect the world, but breathing techniques clearly alter his physical body and do affect the world.

He can also use breathing techniques in this world.

"Are you sure?" Upon hearing Moria's words, Lin Yang's expression changed, and he asked urgently, "You can use breathing techniques in this world too?"

Lin Yang knew about the breathing techniques from the Demon Slayer world. Although it wasn't a particularly useful ability, it was undoubtedly a release-type ability.

In other worlds, especially in this one, it's absolutely impossible to use it on the physical body without mental effort.

“It works.” Moria didn’t know why Lin Yang was reacting so strongly, but he still replied with certainty, “I’m very sure.”

He sensed it and found that although it wasn't vibrating enough, it was indeed usable.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that if he continued to strengthen it, he would even be able to use several forms of the Shock Breathing Technique in this modern scientific world without magic or fighting spirit.

This is no longer a receiving type of Observation Haki, but rather a power that is clearly impacting the original rules of the world through its release.

According to Lin Yang's explanation, Gu Yi shouldn't be able to use the breathing technique without using mental energy to transform it.

"Is there a problem?" Moria quickly asked.

Lin Yang looked at Moria, unsure whether to call this guy lucky or unlucky.

"While mental power cultivators are few—a single sector universe might only produce a dozen or so besides the main god, or even none at all—the sheer number of mental power cultivators within this vast pool of countless sector universes is still close to infinity. However…"

Lin Yang looked at Moria and sighed, "To be able to find the ability that best suits you and that has been solidified, with my abilities, I know of only one mental power cultivator who has done it. You could say it's close to one in a billion. In that respect, you are lucky."

"Then what's unfortunate?" Moria asked, his expression slightly changing.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous for you."

Lin Yang comforted him, then sighed and said, "There is a chance that a mental power cultivator will encounter an ability that is perfectly suited to them. If that ability happens to be fixed at that time, then you will be in your current situation. You can use your fixed ability in any world without being prohibited by the world's rules, and you won't even be perceived by any of the main gods. This is equivalent to your breathing technique having an extra power pass to all the heavens and myriad worlds, which you can use without mental power."

"I thought it was something else." Moria breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Isn't this great? From now on, I can use the breathing technique in any world without consuming mental energy, and I don't have to worry about being sensed and hunted down by any god. Isn't this lucky? It's nothing like the misfortune you mentioned."

“What you said is not wrong,” Lin Yang shook his head and said regretfully, “but if you fixed it not on breathing techniques, but on teleportation or rule manipulation, then your strength will improve very quickly in the future. Moreover, fixed abilities have unlimited potential for improvement. For example, teleportation, at first you can only teleport within a world, but later you can teleport between worlds, and even between endless sector universes. It can be said that in the end, you can unleash abilities that you yourself cannot even imagine.”

"As for breathing techniques..." Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Although they can be infinitely improved through development, the nature of power limits them. Even with infinite potential, compared to teleportation, no matter how infinitely breathing techniques are improved, they are only physical strength. They are not the kind of abilities that completely change the essence of life. Once you reach the realm of limited mind, they are basically useless."

"It's alright, I'd be pretty awesome just to be able to improve indefinitely." Moria smiled, he seemed quite satisfied.

Lin Yang went on and on about unlimited potential and how one becomes useless once they reach the realm of limited mental capacity. Moria didn't seem particularly interested.

All of what Lin Yang said was too far removed from his own experience.

Moreover, he doesn't rely solely on fixed breathing techniques for a living.

For Moria, the infinitely small and infinitely numerous physical cells he developed in the One Piece world are his trump card for maintaining his foothold in all the worlds.

While the infinite enhancement of solidification ability is valuable, it is not so valuable as to bring one's strength closer to that of a god.

Didn't you see that while Lin Yang was talking about how rare and powerful the ability of mental power cultivators to solidify was, his perspective was always based on Moria?

This shows that in the face of a god-level being, the so-called ability to solidify and be used in all the worlds without effort is nothing more than that.

Even Lin Yang, who had only recently become a main god, didn't care, which shows that although this solidification ability was useful and powerful, it definitely couldn't play a decisive role.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. What Moria needs now is to leave shadow clones in all the worlds and improve his mental cultivation as soon as possible.

Only when you become strong can you be fearless.

Breathing techniques are perfect for Moria, ensuring he can escape life-threatening situations in other worlds without having to exert effort.
