All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 223 - 204: New Superpower—Life and Death Balance (Part 2)

Standing before the last person, under the other's frightened and puzzled gaze, Su Xin lightly tapped the person's forehead and implanted a Life Talisman.

Then, he slashed down with a knife.

The man died in terror.

But the next moment, the fatal knife wound on the man's body healed at an incredible speed, and he was perfectly resurrected. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Su Xin then looked at his Life Talismans.

Only twelve remained.

"Originally thirteen, after planting one, only twelve remain, killing cancels out one, resurrecting the other restores one, in the end, it's still twelve."

"Which means, using a Life Talisman to resurrect someone also counts as an increase in redemption value."

"This also means..."

"If I imprint a Life Talisman on someone, consume one at that moment, and if that person gets killed someday and is resurrected by the Life Talisman, it will increase my redemption value, which means another Life Talisman is consumed, equating to two Life Talismans in total."

Su Xin calculated silently for a while.

This superpower can generate both Life Talismans and Death Talismans, but if swayed back and forth, sometimes killing, sometimes saving, it's easy to have very few or even none of both.

Therefore, to maximize the effect of this superpower, the best choice is to choose one path and stick to it till the end.

The more extreme the better.

From the utility of Life Talismans and Death Talismans, it is clear that Life Talismans are more useful to Su Xin. After all, resurrection is much harder than killing, he doesn't need to use Death Talismans for killing, while the Resurrection Ability of Life Talismans is miraculous and can save the lives of important Superpower Users.

Moreover, obtaining Life Talismans is much easier than Death Talismans, only requiring killing, unlike Death Talismans, which require finding deceased people to revive.

From this perspective, more killing to generate more Life Talismans is the best choice.

But there's another problem—

He needs to resurrect others to quickly earn a large number of causal points, just like in these less than two days, he saved about four hundred people, gaining over twenty thousand causal points.

If he doesn't save people, his causal points will stagnate or slow down for a period of time.

If he saves people, he will gain redemption value, offsetting the killing value from killing, constantly reducing the number of Life Talismans.

Therefore, he's now in a dilemma.

For Life Talismans, they are more practical, valuable, and easier to obtain, yet this prevents him from earning causal points through saving people.

For Death Talismans, the process can allow him to quickly earn causal points, but acquiring Death Talismans is more troublesome and they are mostly useless, making excess acquisition meaningless.

"Forget it, upgrade first."

"This superpower has great potential, it still needs to be kept. Maybe it will be of great use in the future."

After thinking for a while, Su Xin shook his head, discarding the chaotic thoughts in his mind, then issued a command in his mind:

"Upgrade Life and Death Balance!"

Now he has nearly a hundred thousand causal points, upgrading without stinginess, directly advancing two levels, spending sixty thousand causal points, and gaining two major traits: Multi-Talisman Coexistence and Life and Death Delay.

[Multi-Talisman Coexistence: Can plant multiple Life and Death Talismans in a single target, maximum quantity equals the Superpower Level.]

[Life and Death Delay: After planting a Life or Death Talisman in someone, under certain conditions, the activation time can be controlled autonomously.]

[Note: Once the host's life force is completely severed, the Life and Death Talismans will slowly become ineffective.]

The first trait is simple and direct, allowing him to plant multiple Life or Death Talismans in the same target, for example, planting three Life Talismans will give the target three resurrection opportunities.

For instance, planting three Death Talismans...

This seems useless.

Unless the other party has a resurrection ability, these three Death Talismans can kill the other party three times.

Of course, considering Life Talismans, this trait is extremely valuable, in case an important Superpower User he values falls into a desperate situation, this trait can increase their chances of survival.

The second trait is much more practical.

For example, if a Life Talisman is planted, sometimes the host encounters very dangerous situations, even if dead and resurrected, they may still be in peril and be killed by enemies again, even if they can resurrect multiple times, it may not be useful.

Being able to control the resurrection time autonomously allows waiting until the crisis passes to resurrect, greatly increasing the possibility of survival.

Only currently he is not sure whether this so-called autonomous control over resurrection time is controlled by the host or himself.

This needs to be tested later.

As for the delay of Death Talismans, the effect seems greater. Su Xin can plant a Death Talisman in the target, taking their life whenever desired.

This method can be used to control others or plant hidden dangers within them, allowing him to control their life and death at any time.

From this point of view, Death Talismans also have significant utility.

Seeing that less than forty thousand causal points remain, Su Xin did not continue upgrading, but decided to try the effect of the Life and Death Delay trait.

Returning to the previous battlefield.

The soldier resurrected by the Life Talisman was slowly moving with an injured body, and seeing Su Xin appear again, he was scared, unable to move.

Su Xin approached him, lightly tapped his forehead again, implanting two Life Talismans.

"Mr. Su…"

The man stuttered.

But Su Xin didn't intend to respond, just slashed his neck fiercely with a knife.

The man's face was full of reluctance and despair, with a trace of confusion and hatred in his eyes, as if questioning—why do you revive me time and again? And then cruelly kill me?

The soldier's body collapsed with a crash.

At this moment.

Su Xin received an inexplicable message in his mind, instinctively understanding that a Life Talisman was triggered, and as long as he willed it, the Life Talisman could be activated at any time.

According to the notes, Life and Death Talismans will slowly become ineffective once the host completely dies, so the time cannot be dragged too long.

Su Xin took the corpse to a corner inside some ruins, hiding it.

Since there is a time limit for resurrection, he needed to test how long this duration could be.

He didn't remain idle.

He located another battlefield, planted Life Talismans on some fighting soldiers, killed them, gaining some Life Talismans, then planted Life Talismans on others, and killed them as well.

Finally, with a thought.

Everyone was resurrected.

Su Xin still had ten Life Talismans.

"No wonder this superpower is called Life and Death Balance. No matter how many people are killed, if they are all resurrected, the number of Life and Death Talismans remains unchanged."

Su Xin mused.

After trying dozens of times, he had a clearer understanding of Life and Death Balance Superpower, fully comprehending the two newly acquired traits.

Whenever a host with a Life Talisman dies, he can sense it, clearly knowing which host has died.

If he implanted Life Talismans in a hundred people, the death of any would be immediately known, including who died.

He can control the Life Talismans to take effect at any time, meaning controlling the resurrection.

If he doesn't issue a command, it defaults to the resurrection happening right then.

"This is quite convenient."

Su Xin nodded with satisfaction, instantly teleporting away from the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the soldiers from both sides, who were killed and resurrected by him, stood bewildered on their respective sides, exchanging confused glances with their comrades.

If not for the bloodstains from their deaths, everyone might have thought the recent events were just a hallucination.

After a long while, someone hesitantly spoke:

"Earlier, were we killed by Su Xin and then resurrected?"

"Seems like it."

Someone responded one after another.

The soldiers and officers from both sides were all bewildered, and having just experienced a life and death situation, none were in the mood for battle, silently withdrawing from the battlefield.
