"Not the same...?" Lexon muttered.
"It's probably because your performance in the story world was too outstanding," Youmei guessed.
It really did seem to be because of that.
Lexon remembered that the Main God's evaluation of him seemed to be exactly that.
Then, he changed the subject and mentioned a thought he'd just had to Youmei, "By the way, if a mission in a story world takes a particularly long time... does the Main God reset the Reincarnator's status after they return to the Main God Space?"
"Yes." At Lexon's inquiry, Youmei nodded and said, "But it's not free. It costs Reincarnation Points, and the Reincarnator has to request it from the Main God themselves. This is to prevent Reincarnators from dying of old age after experiencing a few excessively long story worlds. As for the power and physique gained in the story world, as long as you pay, you won't lose them."
"Ah... I see," Lexon replied.
No wonder the Main God hadn't reset his status.
Besides, there was no need for him to reset...
For him, those ten-plus years hadn't consumed any vitality; instead, his vitality had become even more robust.
"Thanks for the explanation. I'm leaving." Lexon turned to leave after asking.
"There's no need for thanks. Rara and I should be the ones thanking you for saving our lives... this is already the third time..." Youmei appeared somewhat agitated by Lexon's thanks, and she quickly lowered her head in gratitude along with the timid Rara behind her.
Unknowingly, the attitude of these two veterans toward Lexon had become entirely different from when they first met.
"It was all just a coincidence," Lexon's voice didn't waver in the slightest.
He wasn't lying.
He truly hadn't gone out of his way to save these two.
It was all just coincidence.
Then, Lexon's figure disappeared from within the Main God Space.
Leaving Youmei and Rara behind.
"Youmei..." Rara looked at Youmei, hesitating to speak.
However, Youmei seemed to know what she wanted to say and said in a slightly low voice, "Someone like him is destined to be unable to move forward with us. Even if we use some forceful method to advance alongside him... we could never become teammates with him..."
Hearing Youmei's words, Rara lowered her small head slightly, looking a bit dejected.
"Just as he said, saving us those times was just a coincidence... This Zhongzhou Team 4 is merely a starting station for him."
"A person like him will surely stand at the so-called summit... writing his own story."
As Youmei spoke, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She placed her hand on Rara's head and continued, "And we have our own stories too, don't we? Rara... we should work hard as well."
"Yeah!" Rara met Youmei's gaze and then nodded her small head heavily.
"First, let's set a goal and find a way to resurrect our former teammates!" Youmei said.
"Okay!" Rara responded.
...
Inside the apartment unit assigned by the Reincarnator Management Bureau.
Lexon's figure suddenly appeared.
'I'll stay in reality for a few days before heading over to the Demon Slayer world,' Lexon murmured as he walked toward the bathroom.
He planned to take a shower.
Then he would spend a few days being a "salted fish" in reality before going to the Demon Slayer world to see those familiar faces.
In his memory, it had been over ten years since he'd seen people like Tanjiro and Kyojuro, and it was hard not to feel a bit of nostalgia.
After all, his personality was just a bit cold; he wasn't completely heartless.
Although using the Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth to resurrect people in the Naruto world had shaved off a bit of his emotions, it was only a small portion of what he'd gained from that world that was consumed.
He wondered if Naruto and Sasuke liked the surprise...
Lexon thought as he took off his shirt.
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki's bodies were dug up by Orochimaru acting as a grave robber.
After being reincarnated via Impure World Reincarnation, they were resurrected using the Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth.
As for Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku, who shouldn't have been resurrectable, their souls were obtained by Lexon from the Sage of Six Paths, the controller of the Underworld.
With the souls, resurrection naturally became much simpler.
He just had to let the great scientist clone a few bodies, have Lexon shape them according to the souls, fill them with the souls, and finally use the Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth.
It was incredibly simple.
Compared to resurrecting so many people in Konoha, the consumption caused by resurrecting Naruto and Sasuke's parents in such a simple manner was almost negligible.
Furthermore, as the number of times he used the Gedo: Art of the Rinne Rebirth increased, it led Lexon to vaguely grasp something...
He could vaguely perceive the direction in which his emotions were flowing...
This gave Lexon a bit of amusement.
If his strength increased further, would he be able to fully trace that mysterious flow and reclaim everything he'd lost?
Lexon thought to himself.
Then he should focus a bit more on improving his strength.
Because he found it interesting, Lexon had established a new reason for increasing his strength.
Aside from standing at the pinnacle of Reincarnators... and finding out why the version of himself from another world had come here... a new reason.
"BANG!!!"
While Lexon was still lost in thought, a violent explosion suddenly echoed from outside his door.
Instantly, the sound waves from the explosion shattered all the windows in Lexon's apartment.
The winter gale swept inside.
"BANG!"
Lexon watched with his own eyes as the door to his home was kicked open.
A disheveled figure rushed in as if fleeing for their life.
It was a beautiful woman.
A beautiful woman Lexon didn't recognize.
Long disheveled hair, a charming and seductive face, and messy clothing...
When the woman saw Lexon standing in the room, her eyes lit up, and she charged toward him.
"Help! Save me!" The woman kept shouting to Lexon as she ran, her seductive voice seemingly carrying a seductive magic that lured others into sinking into it.
The moment the woman reached Lexon while running.
Lexon suddenly stepped aside, letting the woman who lunged at him fall flat on her face.
"You!" The woman, who had fallen and was bleeding from her nose, instantly looked up, staring at Lexon with a gaze filled with confusion and a hint of malice.
But Lexon didn't care about this sudden intruder in the slightest, slowly putting back on the shirt he had just taken off.
Just as he finished dressing, the sound of footsteps came from the doorway.
Several men stepped into Lexon's room.
