Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 69: Station: Spirit Avatar Battle

<{Station 2: Block of Stone}>

{Description: An enormous block of stone floats there for unknown reasons. That’s it.}

{Resources Available: Stone, Dirt, and Grass.}

{Danger Rating: None}

<{Station 3: Spirit Avatar Battle}>

{Description: In this world, a minority among the population awakens a Spirit Avatar, a power that manifests from their soul and spiritual will.

Upon entering this station world, you’ll all receive the identity of foreigners visiting Steel City. The ability to use the Train is instead believed by station world natives to be a remote-type Spirit Avatar.}

{Resources Available: Spirit Manifestation Core, Spirit Artifact, Spirit Crystal, Body Tempering Potion, and other train upgrade materials or blueprint materials that can be obtained by plundering the city or natives.}

{Danger Rating: Extremely Low - Extremely High}

[When you and Jade saw those station options, Jade shared the screen panel with Scarlet so that she could also see it.]

[After seeing it, Scarlet commented, "This is the first time we encountered a station that has a danger rating range of Extreme Low to Extremely High."]

["It seems their weakest can’t do anything to us, yet their strongest has a high chance of killing us."]

[Jade interjected, "At least it’s not certain death like the Angels of Death Station. If it was, then this station option wouldn’t have been considered."]

[She added, "And besides, this station grants us an identity and even rationalizes the existence of the train. As long as we don’t offend their powerhouses, we should be fine."]

["After all, it’s a city, so there are common people there, yet they’re still alive. So it’s not completely hopeless."]

["Moreover, if we can awaken our own Spirit Avatar, it will be a great increase to our combat power and versatility. If we have one, then we can fight against Spiritual Creatures without having to rely on certain skills or weapons."]

[Among the three of you, only Jade didn’t have a reliable means of attacking spiritual and non-physical entities.]

[There was a time when the three of you tried a station with ghosts, which has a danger rating of Low. Yet, Jade couldn’t damage the ghosts aside from dividing their size and damage to the smallest unit she possibly could, but that still doesn’t eliminate them.]

[And due to bad luck, the items you all obtained from that station only had one-time use exorcism artifacts, and they weren’t even Gold-grade.]

[Because of that, Jade really wanted to deal with her weakness of being unable to harm ghostly entities.]

[Looking at the station options, you concluded, "Needless to say, Station 2 is useless since it’s just a block of stone."]

["As for Station 1, that will also waste our mandatory station stop. There are no useful resources there, and at most, it will satisfy our vanity of saving those breeding slaves from goblins, having a sense of fulfillment of being heroes."]

["But last time I checked, none of us were that kind of person. So, we’d only choose Station 1 if we don’t want to take the risk for Station 3’s Extremely High danger rating ceiling."]

[With the process of elimination, all that was left was to decide whether it was worth it to awaken a Spirit Avatar or not.]

[Hearing your summary, Jade asked, "Don’t you have a talent that can see hints? If we play it safe and use that to our advantage when gaining information about Spirit Avatar Users, we should be able to avoid those that could kill us."]

["I also suggest we stay on the train and wait it out until the early departure time has been reached. That way, if any of us die, we can return to the train and then leave the Spirit Avatar Battle Station."]

[Scarlet nodded in agreement. Like Jade, she also valued the Spirit Avatar since it was another power system that didn’t conflict with her own.]

[During the past few days, Scarlet had already eaten the Silver-grade Blood Fruit that you created with your talent, which allowed her to possess the innate ability of Blood Manipulation.]

[Not only that, Scarlet’s bloodline had improved, allowing her to become a True Moon Werewolf.]

[Before, she was only a pure-blooded Moon Werewolf. Now, with her improved bloodline, she could better wield the Scarlet Artifact and even momentarily transform into Full Werewolf Form in daytime.]

[Moreover, you had also given her one of the several fairy fruits you have. While you had plenty of decent fairy fruits, you only had several that were considered one of the strongest.]

[Fortunately, you had a fairy fruit that suited her, which was none other than the Fairy Queen of The Hunt, Epithet: Velkynra Fairy Fruit.]

[It was a Mythical Ability-Type Fairy Fruit. Its main abilities were instinct amplification (danger sense), target locking (prey hunting), burst speed acceleration, adrenaline overdrive, enhanced senses, but specifically the sense of smell.]

[You believed there should be more to it than that, but Scarlet hadn’t achieved the Semi-Awakening Stage yet.]

[Unlike you and Jade, who only had to spam your ability or achieve inspiration to reach Semi-Awakening, Scarlet didn’t have such extreme talent, potential, and comprehension.]

[After all, she wasn’t a High Human but a True Moon Werewolf. The perks of her race weren’t the same as yours and Jade’s.]

[Because of that, the most crude way to achieve Semi-Awakening was to experience a life and death situation to squeeze every potential one has just for that moment in order to live.]

[After you, Jade, and Scarlet contemplated for a while, you all ultimately decided to choose Station 3.]

[The risk was worth it, and besides, the Train was already Level 19. Because of that, the train’s early departure time was only 1 hour.]

[Not only that, but the Dwell Time was also at 21 hours. Due to that, staying in the train for an hour still left Zenith with enough time to explore the station world.]

[-Ding!]

{Station 3 has been chosen!}

{Prepare to disembark in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.}

[After choosing Station 3, the three of you waited in your train while starting your preparations.]

[The next station would be the most dangerous station world you had ever chosen. Because of that, the three of you didn’t treat it lightly and had already stored the necessary healing items in your inventories.]

[After a few minutes had passed, you, Jade, and Scarlet heard a notification sound.]

[-Ding!]

{The train has arrived at Station: Spirit Avatar Battle!}

{Dwell Time: 21 hours}

{Early Departure Time: 1 hour}

[From the train windows, you and Jade saw the train stop inside an abandoned warehouse.]

[Seeing the situation outside the train windows, you used your Hint Prompt (Gold) talent.]

{Hint Prompt: Inside an abandoned toy factory. For the next five hours, it’s safe.}

{Hint Prompt: This is the hideout of an Avatar Master aliased Toymaker. Toymaker is estimated to return here in the next five hours.}

[After informing Jade and Scarlet about the result of your Hint Prompt, Jade breathed a sigh of relief, "At least the World Will is conscientious enough to drop us at a safe location."]

[Scarlet interjected, "But it won’t be safe for long. Most Train Conductors would still die if they arrived in this world assuming Toymaker is hostile."]

["After all, some of the trains those Train Conductors possess don’t have such an early departure time. Even if they just stay inside their train, it’s not guaranteed that Toymaker won’t destroy their train."]

[Hearing their comments, you sighed, "It’s a shame that I can’t gain more hints, especially about Toymaker’s power and stats."]

["For all we know, Toymaker might not be as powerful as we think he is."]

["Moreover, I also need to see him in person to get more hints from him. But since he’ll return in 5 hours, do we leave earlier and find another place to park our train, or do we let it stay here and deal with Toymaker so he wouldn’t sabotage the train?"]

[Faced with your question, Jade immediately responded, "I’m fine with anything. But if I have to choose, it’s still better to find him using your compass as soon as we get out."]

["He’s the first Avatar Master we’ve heard of. We can gain more information about him and Avatar Masters by either interrogating him or using your Hint talent on him."]

[With Scarlet seconding Jade’s suggestion, you didn’t refuse and stayed with them inside the train for an hour.]

[After that hour passed, the early departure time was finally reached.]

[In other words, you and Jade could now use your Train Conductor Authority to return to the endless barren wasteland even without exploring the station world.]

[However, that would be a waste of a mandatory station stop, so even with the risks, the three of you still decided to stay.]

[Before leaving the train, you suggested, "How about I use my Avatar to scout the way for us?"]

["That way, I’ll control my avatar to find and interrogate Toymaker. After getting information regarding this world and Avatar Masters, I’ll find us a Spirit Manifestation Core which can allow us to awaken our own avatar."]

["As long as we can awaken our avatars, we’ll have a reliable way to deal with those Avatar Masters and won’t be as restricted when fighting them."]
