[Team Member KI41400655 (Yan Zhi) has died]
[Team Battle Points -1, Current: -1]
The cold Space notification made Michelin and Lin Jie Dian realize that the Woman who had been suppressing her nature and trying to integrate into the team was truly dead.
"You… Tao Bai Bai… I'm going to kill you!"
Michelin had been saved by Yan Zhi multiple times during missions, and at this moment, she was utterly enraged, floating upwards from the Sea.
Lin Jie Dian knew it was bad and said curtly,
"Stop it!"
Bai Cangshu's gaze moved away from the completely vanished corpse, and with a flick of his wrist, the scarlet drop card was already in his backpack.
He raised his head, looking at the Woman who seemed to be tearing at the Sea hurricane, his nerves, stimulated by blood and slaughter, constantly twitching, and his Killing Intent Ripple surged uncontrollably.
He began to understand the Woman's psychology, even knowing that the explosive device couldn't kill him, she still insisted on activating it. That was probably her [Heart]. She wanted to use her own death to ensure the survival of her teammates.
Unfortunately, the rage of this wavy-haired Woman tarnished the [Heart] of that desperate blow.
Bai Cangshu retracted his right palm to his waist, and in the next moment, he stomped repeatedly, causing the Sea surface to indent again. Michelin, in the air, felt as if her Heart was being squeezed by a large hand. She knew it was her instinct, in fear…
Buzz!
The air violently spiraled, and white air currents burst forth like a Tatsumaki in an instant.
"Stone!"
Lin Jie Dian roared, and a light suddenly shone on Michelin. Bai Cangshu ignored it and unleashed a palm strike.
Rakshasa Palm!
At this moment, Bai Cangshu's Rakshasa Palm was almost like a hurricane. With one palm strike, a white airflow erupted in front of him. Within dozens of meters of Space in front of him, the air roared like a muffled air cannon.
Boom!
The Woman in the air instantly disappeared, and a completely black Man appeared in her place.
Facing this terrifying impact, the Man crossed his hands in front of him, holding a blue card.
Bang!
The force penetrated his body, but the Man only grunted. His defensive ability far surpassed that of ordinary Reincarnators. In the next moment, the light in his hand lit up again.
[Continuous Magic · Position Shift]!
Intense magical power began to envelop this Sea area. This was one of the ace methods of the [Lin Jie Sniper] team. During the duration of the magic, they could freely change the positions of their team members.
If Bai Cangshu's surprise attack hadn't been so fierce just now, and if his first strike hadn't directly sent Obsidian, who had the strongest defense, flying hundreds of meters and instantly killed Yan Zhi,
their team would not have suffered casualties so easily.
At this moment, Obsidian finally filled the gap in time, exchanging his position with Michelin, blocking this blow.
The veins on Bai Cangshu's forehead bulged, and the meridians on his robust muscles also protruded completely. The longer the battle continued, the more pronounced the Killing Intent Ripple became. He was also finding it difficult to sustain, and his mouth involuntarily began to open. That desire for slaughter began to erode Bai Cangshu's Mental state little by little.
Bai Cangshu continuously used [Moonwalk] to move over a large area in the air. Types like Obsidian, with his extraordinarily high defense, not only didn't make Bai Cangshu wary but rather aroused Bai Cangshu's desire to hunt.
His current ability composition was a bane for Reincarnators specialized in defense.
As Bai Cangshu roared, white shockwaves continuously spread through the air. Obsidian now fell from the air into the Sea. His mobility was not high enough, and at this moment, facing Tao Bai Bai, who was rapidly moving in the air, he had no good way to respond.
But on the other side, taking advantage of the moment when Tao Bai Bai was distracted by Obsidian, Lin Jie Dian quickly fell into the Sea and moved backward.
Screech!
Dark lightning instantly dissipated. Lin Jie Dian's Heart tightened. Although he was very famous and had strong destructive power, he actually disliked fighting fierce individuals like Tao Bai Bai.
They were hard to kill, and they constantly made you feel the threat of death.
As his Heart violently contracted, his eyes remained clear. When the air behind him became scorching hot, in the next moment, a terrifying punch struck Lin Jie Dian from across the air.
Lin Jie Dian's Heart stirred. At this perfectly timed moment, he once again activated the effect of [Continuous Magic · Position Shift]. This special spell from the Dark Game World heavily tested the user's timing judgment, after all, this was a life-or-death battle in reality, not entertainment between card players, and there was no "timing" mechanism.
But although Lin Jie Dian hated getting injured and feared death, he possessed a very calm mind. Obsidian believed that Lin Jie Dian had a naturally big Heart, and this time was no different. When a powerful punch came, and the red lotus-like flames erupted, he exchanged his position with his Stand, [Untouchable].
The attack, aimed directly at this Stand, reflected back in the… original direction!
Boom!
Bai Cangshu threw a punch, and suddenly felt a terrifying force and flames being bounced back. He was instantly swallowed by the red lotus flames and sent flying.
Lin Jie Dian appeared in the distant air, his face pale, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his expression somewhat horrified.
[Untouchable]'s defense was broken by that punch?!
He suffered damage because his Stand was injured.
What exactly is going on with this Tao Bai Bai? That left hand is very problematic…
Lin Jie Dian keenly realized that every attack Tao Bai Bai made with his left hand was exceptionally terrifying.
Before he could continue to ponder the information about Tao Bai Bai, Tao Bai Bai on the other side fell into the Sea from the explosion of the red lotus flames.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, a large number of cannonballs came from the direction of the Grand Fleet. The battle had happened too quickly before, and Golden Emperor's Grand Fleet hadn't realized it at first, but with these two explosions, they had noticed the fierce battle on the Sea.
It was unclear whose order it was, but the Grand Fleet actually began bombarding the few individuals.
Lin Jie Dian's Heart stirred, and he quickly exchanged his position with his Stand again. He turned around and sternly said to Michelin, who was still trying to fly over from behind to attack Tao Bai Bai,
"Retreat, don't let Yan Zhi's death be meaningless!"
Their team was built around ranged attacks as their core ability. Close combat with a powerful martial artist like Tao Bai Bai was too disadvantageous, and at this moment, Tao Bai Bai was clearly powerful to a bizarre extent; even Flame Demon was directly blasted to death head-on.
Their team's strongest close-combatant, the Hundred-Man Slayer [Yan Zhi], was also instantly killed in close combat.
In the next moment, the three, with Michelin as the rear core, continuously shifted positions, and they quickly moved towards the Sea area behind them.
In the Grand Fleet, several individuals stood in the shadows, and upon seeing this scene, they also hesitated.
"What should we do? Lin Jie Sniper wants to retreat. Should we abandon the pursuit of the [Golden Township] incident, or intercept and kill that Tao Bai Bai here?"
"Or, should we go and take care of the [Lin Jie Sniper] individuals? That dangerous Woman seems to have been dealt with by Tao Bai Bai."
The leader had a bald head and was shirtless, his muscles not particularly prominent, but his body subtly glowed. He was about to speak when his pupils suddenly constricted.
"Careful!"
Boom!
A figure flew out of the Sea, crashing into the Sea Thief ship where several individuals were located like a torpedo.
It was Tao Bai Bai!
At this moment, in their eyes, Tao Bai Bai's muscles were even more swollen, the purple fluctuations on his body had completely integrated into his body, and his facial expression was extremely ferocious.
A strange aura continuously emanated from Tao Bai Bai's body. That mist, even in the short time it entered the ship cabin, began to cause changes in the aboriginals on the ship.
The bald Reincarnator put his hands together, and a strong Mental energy erupted from his body. A phantom appeared behind him, and with a palm strike, golden light burst forth.
Boom!
The ship cabin immediately exploded, and several individuals instantly jumped out of the ship cabin.
At this moment, the Space panel had already begun to display notifications.
[Attention, you are being eroded by God's Hand Roland]
[Exemption check in progress…]
[You have exempted this erosion]
The Man's Heart slightly relaxed, but a new check began again. His scalp tingled, and while striking another palm at the ship cabin from mid-air, he turned and jumped towards Golden Emperor's large ship.
God's Hand Roland… is the target of that special cooperation mission, he's not dead yet?!
This bizarre erosion would actually cause continuous exemption checks. This was clearly the most dangerous type of regional anomaly.
Regular erosion was a one-time event. If you passed the check, it meant the opponent's ability would not affect you.
However, continuous checks indicated that in the Space's judgment, the erosion intensity of this God's Hand Roland was constantly changing and increasing. Passing the previous check did not mean you would pass this one.
He didn't even warn his teammates, directly diverting the trouble, and then jumped across the decks of various ships.
Bai Cangshu's expression was calm at this moment. Having fallen from the Heart Throne, he looked at Roland above him, whose body was completely black and only half of his spiritual body remained. His appearance had also completely changed.
At this moment, the elegant Reincarnator in a clean suit with flowing golden hair had vanished. Now, Roland was draped in a black cloth covering his head and body, his eyes lifeless. On each of his hands was a clear human face, extremely similar to the face on the overlord's egg, mouths agape and expressions twisted.
Keli's spiritual body was almost transparent. He clung to the edge of the Heart Throne with one hand and pulled Bai Cangshu with the other, preventing Bai Cangshu from falling.
"What are you doing?!"
"Hurry and stop him!"
Keli was inexplicably anxious; he could feel that he was about to completely disappear.
But he wasn't anxious because he was about to disappear, but because Bai Cangshu wasn't valuing his current strength to reclaim his body.
He worried that after he disappeared, Bai Cangshu would completely lose control of his body, allowing this demon to ultimately dominate everything and cause irreparable disaster.
Keli felt very clearly that this guy called Roland was now a hundred times more terrifying than that evil god, exuding an aura of despair and death.
Moreover, he lowered his head and saw the other half of Roland's spiritual body in the Space of Consciousness, which was about to dissipate in the Yellow Springs. He could feel that the original Roland probably still had some sanity and bottom line, but this spiritual body draped in black cloth gave him a feeling completely unlike a human.
It was different from all the spiritual bodies in this Space of Consciousness.
"Hey, Marine little brother over there, you should come down first."
At 1619 Bookstore, there is no wrong version!
Gojo Satoru stood on the ground, deliberately placing his hands in front of his mouth like a megaphone, his tone very frivolous.
He was as relaxed as if he hadn't been the one just now fighting for consciousness control.
Bai Cangshu gave a forceful shake, and Keli could no longer hold on, falling to the ground with Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu looked at Gojo Satoru and said,
"It seems you didn't resist just now and voluntarily let that thing throw you down?"
He was forcibly detached from the Yin Spirit Possession state during the battle, releasing Gojo Satoru's possession, and thus lost the support of Limitless. This was also an important reason why he failed to instantly kill Moon Demon and Lin Jie Dian.
If he had Limitless, even if he could only use basic applications like Blue and Red, he would have had a chance to kill a few more people.
Gojo Satoru shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
"You've noticed it too, right? That guy right now... can't even be called a complete spirit. He'll self-annihilate after a while."
"And... facing it in this state, even if I went all out, I probably wouldn't win..."
Bai Cangshu did not answer. He walked to the side of Roland's spiritual body remnant, which was about to dissipate in the Yellow Springs. This spiritual body, on the verge of disappearing, had no consciousness, but Bai Cangshu could still feel a strong lingering regret as he approached.
"Sorry... Guts... I'm too weak."
That spiritual body completely dissipated into the Yellow Springs and never reformed. Bai Cangshu looked back at his Heart Throne, knowing without a doubt that the entity that had corroded Roland's soul, abandoning this God Hand spiritual body to seize momentary control, was certainly not just for a "small matter" like occupying his physical body.
—
Bai Cangshu's body stood in the ship's cabin, not pursuing the fleeing Reincarnators. He opened his eyes, which had turned completely black.
This "Bai Cangshu" continuously emitted black mist, an abnormal aura that instantly corroded all living creatures on the ship. The Sea Thieves and crew members began to develop various faces all over their bodies.
"Bai Cangshu" came before one person.
Pfft!
He reached out and stabbed the other person's chest. The Sea Thief, whose face had grown several new faces, offered no resistance. Instead, his mouth opened and closed, and several faces simultaneously showed devout expressions.
"Bai Cangshu" withdrew his hand, holding a beating heart in his palm. A new face appeared on the heart, and then the heart continuously contracted, and a new overlord's egg appeared in his hand.
"Bai Cangshu" held this overlord's egg, and his spiritual body rapidly burned.
"Open, Netherworld."
"Come forth, God Hand... Cast causality into this world!"
Buzz!
A pitch-black Space instantly unfolded. Unlike the previous black mist enveloping Skuld Island, that was not the true form of the Netherworld opening. Instead, God's Hand Roland had used his ability to forcibly transform Skuld Island into a state similar to the Netherworld.
The true Netherworld is an independent world, completely unrelated to the topography of the real world.
A dim world instantly unfolded, with the distant Skuld Island also enveloped within it. Karp, who was holding Moon Demon, looked up, his pupils contracting. Doberman and the other Headquarter Vice Admirals on the Marine warship also felt a heart-palpitating aura simultaneously.
A huge void instantly appeared in the sky, and a gigantic head fell from it, followed by countless figures beginning to emerge...
A large number of beherit began to appear from the sky, and then, as if possessing their own will, projected themselves in various directions.
Lin Jie Dian and others were fortunate enough to escape far enough. They watched as the pitch-black world, like a curtain, covered that sea area, feeling incredibly horrified.
What horrified them even more was the Space's prompt.
"Warning: Pirate Derivative World A9981 is experiencing moderate intensity distortion."
"Pirate Derivative World A9981 is distorting. This world's danger and challenge levels have changed."
"Based on this distortion, this world's rewards have increased by 20%, mission failure penalties are canceled, and Reincarnators can exit this world in a non-combat state."
The Lin Jie Sniper team members saw this kind of prompt from the Space for the first time and realized the horror of the current situation.
This was the world itself being encroached upon. This world... was being distorted by another force, another world will, another power system, forcibly implanting itself into this world.
"The third batch of Reincarnators will begin deployment..."
Space prompts appeared one after another. Lin Jie Dian's heart tightened. In such a critical moment, the Space allowed the first and second batches of Reincarnators to withdraw directly, yet it would still deploy a third batch of Reincarnators?
Then, are these third batch Reincarnators considered by the Space to be capable of resolving this level of crisis?
"Deployment anomaly..."
Rip!
Pitch-black lightning exploded in the sky, and the sky suddenly changed color. To Lin Jie Dian's astonished gaze, various colors simultaneously began to appear in the sky. Stars appeared in the blue sky, and the sun and moon appeared simultaneously.
The sea waves completely vanished in an instant.
Only pitch-black lightning continuously appeared from unknown places, instantly spanning the entire sky.
"Warning: Special unit Black King Society has entered this world."
"All Reincarnators are ordered to evacuate immediately."
Rip!
A bolt of lightning pierced through the bodies of Lin Jie Dian and his companions. He was stiff all over, his cells trembling uncontrollably, and his thoughts almost ceased. That intense domineering aura far surpassed the level of Karp and Tao Bai Bai's previous attacks.
A flood of chaotic information instantly rushed into his brain. He seemed to see countless Pirate Worlds simultaneously engulfed in flames, with innumerable familiar characters being slaughtered, captured, dismembered, and even cooked...
This is...
Thump, thump, thump.
Footsteps appeared. A one-armed man, completely black, walked step by step from the air. With each step he took, pitch-black lightning traversed the entire world, piercing through the chest of a Reincarnator.
Whether it was the Lin Jie Sniper team or the team that had just leaped over the Golden Emperor's Grand Fleet, they remained as if frozen, trapped in this world.
"Reincarnators, you have once again defiled my world."
The one-armed man's voice was a bit hoarse, not loud, but even those within the Netherworld clearly heard his almost whispered tone.
He gently raised his single arm and tapped the air.
The Space seemed to shatter, revealing huge cracks. The next moment, terrifying spatial tremors erupted.
A blazing white spatial tremor, extending for hundreds of kilometers, instantly swept over the Grand Fleet, shaking the fleeing Reincarnators to death on the spot, turning them into masses of blood mist.
Obsidian stood at the very back, seeing clearly. He spoke now, his voice trembling from terror.
"Tremor-Tremor... Fruit?"
