Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 84: Time Skip And Void Mark

[Some spirit avatars might have useless spirit avatar abilities, but there ought to be those that were useful. The spirit artifacts yielded from those useful spirit avatar abilities were like having an external spirit avatar ability.]

[Because of that, it was understandable why some Spirit Avatar Masters would kill other Spirit Avatar Masters just to turn their target’s spirit avatar into a spirit artifact.]

[While you were fiddling with the Pearly Eyes of Equality spirit artifact, Jade opened her eyelids, revealing her jade-green eyes that glinted with delight.]

[Looking at you, Jade spoke, "Darling, I’ve awakened my third spirit avatar ability!"]

[She added, "Golden Time’s third spirit avatar ability is called Time Skip. I can use my stored time to skip time itself."]

["During the time skip, the world will move forward, unlike time stop, where the world halts. However, during that time, no one remembers what happened during the time skip. Only I remember what happened."]

["The problem is, I can’t move during time skip. The actions of people within skipped time are predetermined and are based on what they had intended to do. It’s like them going on autopilot, but not having the relevant memories of such actions."]

["However, my advantage is that Time Skip is not my only spirit avatar ability. Using Future Sight, I can predict the future and test actions I should do, and then select what future I want."]

["Using Time Skip, I then skip time and immediately let the present achieve the future I selected. If everyone moves during time skip within the predetermined future, then I can see the future first and preselect my present actions to achieve that future."]

["That way, even if I cannot move during the time skip, I won’t have to, as I already told that version of me to move according to what I have seen in the future, so that future can be achieved."]

[Explaining that, Jade sighed, "Compared to time stop, which is pretty straightforward, time skip is more complicated. With time stop, I can just stop the time and do what I want within the world of stopped time."]

["But with time skip, I’m pretty much passive within it. If not for future sight, I’d at most only have the advantage of knowing what I did during the time skip."]

["So on paper, I can achieve something where I skip the cause to achieve the effect. But it’s only a cause-and-effect manipulation on paper. It’s still time manipulation in practice."]

[Hearing Jade’s explanation of her third spirit avatar ability, you were happy that she unlocked a really useful time ability that synergized well with her second spirit avatar ability.]

[Without any hesitation, you handed the Pearly Eyes of Equality spirit artifact to Jade, "This is for you, Jade. I presume it will be very useful to you."]

[You started explaining to Jade how the Pearly Eyes of Equality spirit artifact worked, and the more she listened, the more she realized how useful it was as an addition to her skill set.]

[Since she has Future Sight and Time Skip, she could easily catch her opponents off-guard by skipping to a future where she had successfully used the Pearly Eyes of Equality against them.]

[Moreover, aside from it being suited for Jade, the reason you also gave her that spirit artifact was due to you already possessing Royal Confiscation.]

[In some ways, Royal Confiscation conflicted with Pearly Eyes of Equality. One of the few differences between them was that Royal Confiscation could scale its upper limit with your power rank, while Pearly Eyes of Equality, as a spirit artifact, was pretty much fixed.]

[Unless you could find a way to upgrade Pearly Eyes of Equality’s item grade, it would only be usable against targets at Gold rank and below. Those at Platinum rank would be unaffected by it, which was why Royal Confiscation was much superior to it.]

[Not to mention, even against Pearl when she was alive, if you had Royal Confiscation beforehand, you wouldn’t have resorted to taking advantage of the opportunity given to you by the hired assassin.]

[Merely using Royal Confiscation to revoke Pearl’s right to use her first spirit avatar ability would solve the problem of using equality on you.]

[You had already informed Jade about Order King’s third spirit avatar ability, so she accepted the Pearly Eyes of Equality spirit artifact.]

[Actions spoke louder than words, so rather than thanking you, Jade gleefully smiled and kissed your lips.]

[Due to Scarlet being present and not wanting to make it too awkward, Jade’s kiss was soft and light, quickly pressing her lips onto yours and then retracting back.]

[By the time Scarlet reacted, Jade had already returned to her seat. Sensing Scarlet’s deadpan gaze on her, Jade playfully stuck out her tongue towards Scarlet before averting her gaze.]

[Scarlet didn’t pursue such a matter and instead, she summoned back her Void Claws spirit avatar as she had already upgraded it to peak gold-grade.]

[With her spirit avatar unlocking its third spirit avatar ability, Scarlet informed you and Jade, "My third spirit avatar ability is called Void Mark."]

["When my Void Claws wound a target, a fragment of void energy remains within them. That fragment forms a mark."]

["As long as the mark exists, I can sense the target’s position through the void. Distance will no longer matter to me."]

[She continued evenly, "Void Reach no longer requires perception or traces once a mark is established. The marks may accumulate with repeated strikes."]

["At any time, I may detonate the void energy embedded within them. The more marks present, the greater the damage when they erupt."]

[Compared to you and Jade, Scarlet’s Void Claws spirit avatar seemed to have spirit avatar abilities that truly complemented each other. It was to the point that each could be used in succession as a combo, and it didn’t conflict but blended well when used together.] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

[Scarlet could first use Void Tear to attack her target, and if that still didn’t kill them, it would still leave a Void Mark.]

[Afterwards, she could use Void Reach to sense the mark and continue using Void Tear to stack more marks from afar, then detonate them when needed.]

[After knowing Jade and Scarlet’s third spirit avatar abilities, you grinned confidently, "We have this in the bag. We can be bolder and plunder this station to our heart’s content!"]
