The dragon slayer sword directly pierced Enel's corroded body, and its wide blade almost crushed his major organs in one go.
This kind of injury couldn't be revived by stimulating cell activity or electrocuting the heart; it was a completely fatal injury.
The blazing white smoke lingered, but Bai Cangshu, still grasping the dragon slayer sword, descended from the sky into the ocean.
Splash!
It wasn't until Bai Cangshu dragged Enel to the seabed, and a large amount of blood and internal organs began to flow out, that the spatial prompt finally appeared.
"You have killed the plot character Enel, gaining 3500 dimensional points."
"You have obtained 1 b-class special point."
"Side Mission: World Government's Purge has been completed. All those in Skuld Island's Golden Township who were privy to the information have been purged."
"Your World Government and Marine reputation has significantly increased. Current: Respected (33/100)."
"Reputation exchange enabled. You can obtain exchange lists from the World Government and Marine high-ranking officials."
A series of prompts appeared. Bai Cangshu straightened up from the sea, and a purple glow continuously condensed in front of him. Finally, a drop card faintly emitting lightning appeared, and he reached out and grabbed it.
"You have obtained an item: Drop Card (Extremely Rare) * 1."
Bang!
A powerful impact sound occurred. Bai Cangshu saw Karp reappear on the distant island, having already knocked the gigantic Werewolf, over a hundred meters long, unconscious. His other hand was still dragging the Moon Demon's monstrous incarnation, clearly intending to capture all these guys alive.
Bai Cangshu's mind stirred, and his body floated up from the ocean, but at this moment, a huge sense of depletion emerged.
The crimson flames began to extinguish little by little, and the effect of all-attribute enhancement was lost with them.
Jealousy of Solitude and the special talent manifestation state began to disappear as the battle with Enel ended. A strong sense of emptiness appeared, and he instantly fell from that feeling of omnipotence.
Bai Cangshu's mind quieted down. He looked around, no longer able to directly acquire various information as before, nor could he process so much information simultaneously.
At the same time, immense pain began to emerge. The backlash that appeared every time he activated his talent was particularly intense this time.
Although Bai Cangshu's body possessed high-speed regeneration, the pain, as if a red-hot branding iron was directly seared onto his nerves, still made his face contort in agony.
Veins bulged on his face. The excessively intense pain also caused the Killing Intent Ripple to surge within him again, breaking free from the shackles of reason.
Bai Cangshu's breathing became heavy. In the distance, Marine warships were approaching in this direction. Cindy stood by Karp's feet, jumping up and down. Vice Admiral Karp was Officer Corrie's idol, and she thought this must be the reinforcements Officer Corrie had found.
"Hey, big guy, we're safe!"
"Hero Karp is here!"
Bai Cangshu continuously took deep breaths, suppressing the bloodthirsty desire for slaughter within him. At this moment, the Haki of the Conqueror in his left hand was on the verge of disappearing. With Jealousy of Solitude and the talent manifestation simultaneously shut down, Bai Cangshu's Mental attribute dropped to a low value. Although he still had the high conversion of Efficiency, he could barely control himself.
He could easily be stimulated and re-enter the Killing Intent Ripple.
The Killing Intent Ripple was inherently a double-edged sword, powerfully destructive, far more so than ordinary force. While possessing strong penetrative power, it also had destructive and annihilating properties, along with the powerful conductivity and deterrent effect of "Ripple."
But at the same time, even a martial arts master like Akuma would be driven by the Killing Intent Ripple, eventually acting like a murderous beast for many years.
Bai Cangshu's expression kept changing. Karp, Chaton, and others on the ship, with their powerful Observation Haki, all simultaneously realized the abnormality of Bai Cangshu's state.
Chaton lifted Cindy by her collar and placed her at the back of the deck.
"Little one, some people are far from as kind as you think."
Chaton's intention was good, but his words made Cindy recall how she had feared the big guy earlier because he had killed those mutated townspeople.
She glared at Chaton, then climbed back onto the front deck of the ship, saying firmly,
"The big guy is a good person just like Officer Corrie! He just saved me and Olgins!"
Olgins understood the power of Headquarter Vice Admirals better than Cindy. At the same time, he could feel the dangerous aura emanating from the man floating on the sea in the distance.
The other party was like a bloodthirsty beast.
But…
His expression was complex. The other party had indeed saved him and the little girl; that fact was undeniable. At the same time, the other party seemed to have also slain that terrifying evil god.
Even if such a guy was a beast, it was a beast that had helped him.
Humans should not distance themselves from their saviors out of fear.
He nodded, standing behind Cindy.
Karp didn't speak, just looked down at Bai Cangshu. The other party's aura had dropped significantly, no longer giving him that powerful oppressive feeling.
Even that magnificent Haki of the Conqueror had now retracted into his body, leaving only that beast-like killing intent.
Soon, a Marine threw down a rope ladder, attempting to rescue Bai Cangshu, but Bai Cangshu merely stomped his legs violently in the water, and his entire body shot into the air, landing on the warship's deck.
He forcibly suppressed the desire for slaughter in his heart, but the little girl, ignoring that terrifying feeling, rushed over and hugged Bai Cangshu's leg.
Bai Cangshu took a deep breath and activated his bloodline ability: Yin Spirit Possession.
In the world of consciousness, a huge suction force appeared again. Gojo Satoru stood beneath the Heart Throne, and a strong repulsive force pushed away the yin spirits that were involuntarily drawn by the suction.
As Roland's spirit body died, Bai Cangshu's spirit had stabilized again, with almost no chance of seizing control of the body. Gojo Satoru also had no interest in doing such a thankless task at this time.
But this ordinary Marine soldier named Keli truly surprised Gojo Satoru as well.
It was a possibility he hadn't seen in ordinary people in his original world.
He even wondered if, during the Hidden Inventory arc, if there had been a few brave individuals like Keli among those ordinary people, would that girl have survived…
Gojo Satoru tilted his head back, and in his sky-blue, deep eyes, white clouds seemed to drift, but even he could not see the unfulfilled possibilities.
"Go. It's not easy to make the owner of this body show great kindness."
Gojo Satoru had existed in this consciousness world for a long time. He knew better than anyone how cruel and anomalous the owner of this body was.
Completely lacking self-awareness as a human, devoid of empathy, though always maintaining that charming smile, he was, like himself, merely a monster adept at disguising himself as something close to human.
And like himself, this naturally anomalous monster was now taking a step further, learning to touch the "Heart of Man." He was curious: after this, would the other party lose their original monstrous traits and become an ordinary person, or… become a monster that saw into the human heart…
Keli vaguely heard the girl's voice. He had never imagined that he, who had blindly charged towards that evil god and ultimately died, would still get such an opportunity.

His spirit body involuntarily floated up, then was sucked into the Heart Throne.
In an instant, Bai Cangshu felt the presence of Keli's spirit body; his spirit always carried warmth.
Bai Cangshu looked at Vice Admiral Chaton, who was wary of him, knowing that these Headquarter Vice Admirals had all sensed the abnormality of his current state. In the corner of the warship, Bellamy, whose face had grown multiple tumors, cowered as he looked at him.
Everyone with a certain amount of power seemed to view him as a beast.
Bai Cangshu's lips curled into a smile. The next moment, he voluntarily closed his eyes, his consciousness briefly falling asleep.
Keli blinked, realizing that he had indeed gained control of the body.
Karp and the others also turned their heads, their faces filled with surprise. In just an instant, the guy's demeanor had undergone a massive change.
Keli knew his weakness. He squatted down and gave the girl a perfect military salute, saying,
"Cindy, temporary task force member, your mission was completed very well!"
"Officer Corrie also lived up to your expectations. The evil god Enel has been… I… killed."
He wasn't used to lying, but Enel had indeed been killed by the owner of the body he was currently inhabiting…
Cindy looked at the big guy, whose expression had become strange, blinking her eyes. Suddenly, in a blur, she saw Officer Corrie's shadow on his face.
Plop!
Large teardrops immediately appeared in the girl's eyes, then fell in big drops onto the deck.
"Waaah…"
Cindy burst into tears for the first time. The strength she had feigned for the past two years, the hidden fears, could no longer be contained in her small heart. She cried loudly, hugging Bai Cangshu's body, even unconsciously wiping her snot on him.
"Officer… Corrie…"
"So many people died, everyone died. They said Officer Corrie died too. Lushido also said Officer Corrie was an idiot…"
"I even heard Barnaby say Officer Corrie was actually dead… They were all wrong… Only Cindy is right…"
The little girl babbled on; she actually knew many things.
Chaton watched this scene, pulled his hat down, and turned his body to look at the ruined Skuld Island.
He even felt that the cloak of justice on his back was too heavy for him to bear at this moment.
If not for Vice Admiral Karp, if not for that mysterious strong person, if not for this miraculous Marine soldier in front of him, could he have saved this tiny girl?
Keli continuously comforted the girl until she slowly fell asleep. He then held the girl and sat on the ship's rail. Finally, as the ship approached Mogu Town, he saw the familiar G51 Branch warship.
Keli saw Captain Brina in the distance, the formerly imposing Woman, now leaning dejectedly against the edge of the warship, a cigarette smoke swirling in her hand.
Heh…
Keli waved distantly at the Woman. In her surprised eyes, golden specks of light flew from Bai Cangshu's body, gradually disappearing into the air.
Brinina's face was pale. She was sure she hadn't been mistaken; she had indeed seen Keli's ghost, seemingly ascending with the sunlight.
Brinina froze in place. The next moment, she saw the young Marine soldier's face reveal his characteristic cruel smile.
