DxD: Trait Plunderer

Tatsuma raised his palm, and Destruction Rule and Time energy perfectly fused together, with the quality further improved. Centered around the fused energy, space seemed to be heavily damaged, rippling outwards, and the core area even began to concave and collapse.

Looking at this scene, Ichibei and the others, whose injuries had just been healed, simultaneously widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.

"Monk, what is that thing?"

"From the aura, it's a bit like Bael's Power of Destruction, but…"

Ichibei hesitated, then opened and closed his mouth, his emotions complex.

Although it looked similar, he wasn't very willing to call the energy mass in Tatsuma's hand Power of Destruction.

It was like graphite and diamond.

Although both are composed of carbon atoms, the final hardness they display is vastly different.

"It seems the Soul King wasn't using his full strength when he was testing his new ability just now."

"If he had used this energy, we would have returned to the Zero Division Riden long ago, waiting to be resurrected."

"As expected of the new Soul King, his power is on a different dimension." Tenjiro said with some emotion.

He was still a little unconvinced after being instantly defeated by Tatsuma's single move earlier, thinking he had been careless. Now it seemed that even if he broke the Blood Oath and activated his Bankai, he still wouldn't be able to withstand Tatsuma's attack.

"Come here."

Tatsuma closed the trait panel and looked at the members of the Zero Division who had just recovered from their injuries.

"From today onwards, the Zero Division will no longer serve as the Soul King Palace's Guards and is not required to stay in the Soul King Palace."

"?!"

The members of the Zero Division were stunned, not expecting Tatsuma to make such a big move right away.

However, after a moment of hesitation, none of them, including Ichibei, spoke up in protest.

Zero Division is the Soul King Palace Guard, and their original job was to protect the powerless Soul King. With Tatsuma's strength, he certainly didn't need protection.

Any enemy that the Zero Division could handle, Tatsuma could deal with in one slap.

And any enemy that Tatsuma couldn't handle could also deal with the Zero Division in one slap.

Walking alongside him, the Zero Division was the one who needed protection instead.

"Over the next two months, I will visit various pantheons to establish an alliance."

"I have a gentle nature and dislike killing, so it's inevitable that there will be troublemakers in the alliance."

"After the alliance is established, your task will be to patrol various parts of the world, eliminate Cursed Spirit and wanted criminals as potential threats, and monitor the Gods."

"If any God is secretly causing trouble, you are allowed to directly apprehend them."

Tatsuma briefly described the Zero Division's upcoming duties.

After hearing this, Ichibei still maintained a calm and indifferent attitude, but the expressions of Tenjiro and the other four became serious.

After silently exchanging glances for a second, Kirio stepped forward to break the silence, a hint of difficulty on her face.

"Soul King, I was the last to join the Zero Division, and there is a gap in strength between me and the other members of the team."

"Dealing with ordinary Gods is not a problem, but dealing with Main Gods will be somewhat difficult."

"It's alright. Since I'm assigning you these tasks, I've naturally prepared enough trump cards."

Tatsuma opened the trait inventory, and granted a blue trait to each person.

Having received the blessing of the previous Soul King, the bodies of the five members of the Zero Division were reshaped by the power of the Soul King.

After activating their traits, this power was completely unleashed, and the density of their Reishi bodies and the quality of their Reiatsu were comprehensively enhanced, causing their aura to skyrocket.

"Power... is expanding!"

"My power has increased by nearly thirty percent. How is this possible?"

"As expected of the Soul King, his methods are far beyond ordinary imagination, truly terrifying."

Tenjiro and the others controlled the constantly surging power within their bodies and let out a series of exclamations.

However, they quickly realized that they had exclaimed too early.

From the throne, Tatsuma raised his hand and pointed at the members of the Zero Division from a distance. Vast and endless natural energy descended, pouring into the bodies of the Zero Division members from all directions.

Perhaps influenced by Senjutsu, their Reishi bodies began to shake violently, and their internal structure changed.

As if they had become a part of the world, the members of the Zero Division felt themselves merge with the natural energy of this world, their thoughts moving with their will. With every gesture, infinite natural energy surged towards them, transforming into different shapes.

"How about it? Now you should have the confidence to monitor the movements of the Gods and carry out acts of deicide."

An indifferent voice echoed in the Soul King Palace, and the members of the Zero Division came back to their senses, looking at the throne in front of them.

"By the grace of the Soul King, your subordinates will not fail you and will complete your mission."

Kirio, who had just raised a question, replied, her voice filled with respect and adoration.

If the blessing of the previous Soul King had allowed her to be reborn and surpass the Shinigami, then the blessing from Tatsuma had caused her life level to leap, surpassing the Gods. Only by experiencing this power could she understand how strong Tatsuma, who could bestow such power, truly was.

Although he had inherited the legacy of the previous Soul King and the title of the Second Soul King, at this moment, in the eyes of the Zero Division members, Tatsuma's true power was in no way inferior to the previous Soul King, and perhaps even surpassed it.

"I hope you won't disappoint me." Tatsuma nodded slightly, his expression calm.

The reaction of the Zero Division members was exactly what he wanted.

Due to the indulgence of the previous Soul King, the respect of the Zero Division members towards the Soul King was mixed with insincerity.

The previous Soul King didn't care about this, but that didn't mean Tatsuma didn't.

His previous actions in battle were partly to gain traits and partly to establish his authority.

Through absolute crushing, he made the Zero Division members understand the gap in strength.

Then, by enabling the trait sharing function and granting the Senjutsu trait, he further showcased his power.

Give a stick and then a carrot.

After this series of actions, even the most senior member, Ichibei, would feel awe and respect for him and would follow his commands and work diligently.

The members of the Zero Division are not weak in strength.

Upon receiving the Rainbow Senjutsu trait, they will gain power comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a God King.

With them patrolling the world and hunting Cursed Spirit and terrorists on his behalf, coupled with Akatsuki establishing branches around the world to capture stragglers, a top-down regulatory organization has taken shape.

"The great alliance among the Gods will begin to be formed this month."

Tatsuma raised his palm, and a book radiating natural energy materialized out of thin air.

"This is the Senjutsu manual I compiled. Take it and study. With my blessing, your speed in learning Senjutsu will greatly increase."

"Before officially starting your duties, try to learn all the content on it as much as possible to get stronger."

"Yes."

Ichibei and the others replied in unison, receiving the Senjutsu manual from Tatsuma.

"That's all for today. I will contact you again if needed."

Rising from the throne, Tatsuma's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
