Chapter 491: The Single-Digit Number Holder of The Throne of Illusion and Reality (3.5K+)
Title: Evil Savior
Type: Special, Synthetic
Title Tier: Tier 3
Description: Evil is the original nature; the world… is mine!
Title Effect: Upon wearing, in any world where order exists, you will automatically gain 'Respected' reputation with the order-aligned faction. Reputation gain will be doubled, and the reputation store will be automatically unlocked.
Title Ability: Innate Evil (Passive) (Medium Priority): Any attack from neutral or good factions aligned with order will be weakened by up to 45%.
Title Ability: Desperate Salvation (Passive/Active) (High Priority): The collapse value of world order will passively increase the overall attributes of the Evil Savior. When the collapse value exceeds the limit and order completely collapses, Desperate Salvation mode can be activated. At this time, the Reincarnator will gain bonuses from the world will and inhibitory force, with all attributes and abilities greatly enhanced.
The silver information stream in front of Bai Cangshu's eyes disappeared. He had returned to the Tier Management Office, and the petite, energetic Knight Girl clapped her hands softly.
"You did it!"
Her voice, tone, and emotions were completely different from when she had grown larger. Perhaps it wasn't just a change in the form of power; Bai Cangshu speculated that it might be more like temporarily summoning her future self to descend. Of course, it was also possible that this petite Knight Girl was a past projection.
Bai Cangshu nodded, his expression calm. After all, this deathmatch mission was not difficult for him. Even the last guy, he easily killed without even revealing his trump card.
His current combat power had already far exceeded the limits of ordinary 'Strong' Tier Reincarnators.
Before entering, Bai Cangshu had actually understood that due to the high death rate of deathmatch missions, the number of Reincarnators willing to accept and enter them was now small.
Among those few, probably only the last magic-aligned Reincarnator was on the same level as Li Qingzi and the Flame Demon back then.
Bai Cangshu clearly understood the abilities of the Evil Savior title. Apart from passively gaining reputation from almost the entire order-aligned faction, the effects of the title were all combat-oriented.
He checked his panel. Probably because he was in Space, he was not currently receiving the bonus from the Desperate Salvation ability, and the collapse value item was also displayed as unavailable.
He could only return to the real world to see how much attribute bonus he could gain in a world where order was beginning to collapse due to Reincarnators.
As for the first ability, Innate Evil, it was very practical, a highly versatile damage reduction ability, which filled a short-coming in Bai Cangshu's current abilities.
His regeneration and immortality were good, but his defense, before acquiring Azure Sky Overlord Blood, was not strong at all, and his limbs were often destroyed by powerful enemies.
With the Innate Evil title effect, at least for many, including plot characters, their attacks against him would be greatly reduced.
Bai Cangshu then looked at the materials sold by the Knight Girl. The highest quality was only rare, and there were no characteristics that caught his eye.
He planned to fuse the slime if he hadn't obtained a more suitable characteristic before the next mission started.
Bai Cangshu walked out of the Tier Management Office, his eyes moved, and he instantly noticed a person leaning against the outer wall of the Tier Management Office. This person was wearing a white robe with black edges, his black Short Hair covered half his face, his figure was thin, and a black-bladed katana hung at his waist.
"So it's you. It seems An Junxuan didn't die in vain."
This person turned around, his light purple pupils scrutinizing Bai Cangshu. His white robe opened, and Bai Cangshu saw the black number '098' on it.
This iconic attire, and the rule of using numerical codes to identify their strength, made it clear at a glance that the other party came from The Throne of Illusion and Reality, one of the top gatherings in the Infinite Dimensional Space.
Bai Cangshu nodded, as if savoring something, and the scarlet drop card appeared in his hand.
"So his name was An Junxuan. He was indeed a good fellow."
He shook the scarlet drop card twice and said,
"Do you want to buy his drop card back?"
The newcomer's light purple pupils contracted, and his expression turned cold. He felt that Tao Pai Pai was probably ridiculing and mocking him, and he snorted coldly.
"Don't think killing a guy in the hundreds means anything, humph."
With that, the newcomer turned and left, leaving Bai Cangshu frowning.
He had previously been impressed by the 'Knight & Knight' group's desire to retrieve their companions' legacies, so when he saw someone immediately come looking for him after he had just killed a Reincarnator, he thought it was the same behavior.
He didn't expect the other party to be so angry.
Tsk, it's hard to fathom people's hearts.
Bai Cangshu returned to his stall. Ghost Taoist seemed to have not yet completed his modifications.
While browsing the received offers, he examined the scarlet drop card glowing with golden light. This was his first time using Scavenger authority and successfully designating a Reincarnator as a clear-out target, and killing the opponent earned him a scavenger crimson drop card.
This person possessed the enhancement of the Operation Fruit, a highly versatile ability worth a fortune.
Seeing this Demon Fruit, Bai Cangshu took out the Superman-type Demon Fruit · Heart Fire Fruit that had been in his backpack. This Demon Fruit gave him a very peculiar feeling.
Although it wasn't a particularly powerful Demon Fruit, it came from that peculiar treasure. Appearing with it were Black Sword - Dragon Slayer, which Guts had imbued with Armament Haki and was cursed, and the severed arm left by the powerful Black King · Luffy.
Even though he had left that Pirate World, Bai Cangshu still couldn't figure out the origin of these items.
But due to the special nature of the Black King Society and the existence of the Abyss God's causality power, Bai Cangshu neither rashly consumed this Demon Fruit nor sold it.
While he was pondering, a group of people had already arrived before the stall. Perhaps it was rare to see Bai Cangshu personally sitting at the stall, and the newcomers also frowned and thought for a moment before speaking first.
"Tao Pai Pai, Black Butler issued information saying that you possess the technology to mass-produce super-tech weapons and equipment. Can you show me what kind of technology it is?"
Bai Cangshu's eyes drifted, waking from his thoughts. Seeing the newcomers, he raised his eyebrows. His strange red face making such a gesture made it even more uncomfortable.
"Ha, Song Xian~"
Bai Cangshu's tone rose. Song Xian, a typical idealist who would sacrifice everything for his country and nation, rarely dealt with 'madmen' like Tao Pai Pai.
Bai Cangshu recalled that less than two months ago, when he met Song Xian, he was still a well-behaved student, while Song Xian played the role of an experienced detective.
Now, the two were still face to face, but their identities and attitudes had undergone a huge change.
Bai Cangshu was in his element in this chaotic Space, and began to stir up trouble in the real world, while Song Xian appeared much more fatigued. Even in Space, his expression seemed to constantly bear a heavy burden.
Tian Jie frowned. He disliked Tao Pai Pai's playful gaze and did not support Song Xian dealing with such a person. Everyone knew that Tao Pai Pai currently held a fragment of the Death Note bestowed by Lord Silent Death.
Song Xian's real name had long been exposed, and his face was easy to find. Contacting such a person was extremely dangerous.
But Song Xian only showed a bitter smile and continued,
"Tao Pai Pai, a guy like you probably wouldn't care about the identity of the trading partner, or what they want that equipment for, right?"
Bai Cangshu naturally nodded. Then, he raised his right hand, and information about several pieces of equipment was displayed.
You displayed the items Gantz Suit, Gantz X-Gun, Gantz H-Gun.
Song Xian's heart stirred when he saw these items from the Gantz world. Such items were indeed very powerful even for ordinary people, not to mention equipping them to the special soldiers of the Azure Dragon branch. With good cooperation, they could completely eliminate some 'Bing' Tier or even 'Strong' Tier Reincarnators.
"Black Butler said it was technology. Could it be that you…"
Bai Cangshu nodded, then displayed the special creation he possessed.
You displayed the special creation Gantz.
Song Xian's joy was hard to conceal.
"I think we can make a deal, a big deal!"
Black Butler also teleported over at this time. Seeing that Tao Pai Pai and Song Xian had already met, he was worried that the two would not get along and wanted to mediate, but he only saw Tao Pai Pai nodding happily.
"Coincidentally, I also have some things I hope you can give me."
Tian Jie and the others had all heard of Tao Pai Pai's fierce reputation. This person had been listed as a high-risk observation target by East Xia, prohibited from entering East Xia's borders.
But no one could confirm whether a guy like Tao Pai Pai had some secret ability to evade detection by perception and divination abilities.
Bai Cangshu then sent a special request to Song Xian via Space communication. Song Xian frowned tightly after seeing it.
"I cannot make decisions on such matters."
Bai Cangshu, however, waved his hand.
"Then go apply to someone who can make decisions. You know, they will agree, won't they…"
Song Xian looked at Tao Pai Pai's unconcealed playful smile and did not refute. Once the situation in the real world truly deteriorated, he knew that the person in charge of the South Heaven Gate Project would definitely agree to such a request.
Or rather, the appearance of the so-called Paradise in Southeast Asia was a good thing for East Xia, as it would allow more Reincarnators to choose to go to Paradise instead of East Xia.
——
On the other side, in the vast illusory Space, blue sky and white clouds drifted. The entire Space covered hundreds of square kilometers, so large that it didn't resemble a public Space for a gathering at all.
The man with the number '098' on his chest swayed. Another old friend had died, putting him in a bad mood.
"Yo, Number Ninety-Eight, why the long face?"
A clear voice rang out. A girl with long dark green hair tied into twin pigtails sat on the eaves of a black and white building, her feet dangling.
She wore a white uniform with black edges and a stand-up collar, her chest open, revealing a somewhat mismatched shirt underneath, on which the number '03' was written crookedly as if with ink.
The man ranked 98 in the Silver Cluster, Mo Qingzhu, looked up. Seeing the newcomer, he instinctively frowned, then respectfully bowed his head.
"Captain Kuruhi… one of our members was killed in a deathmatch mission."
"Oh, really? What was his number?"
The girl didn't care about An Junxuan's death, only casually asked for the number. After hearing it was a member beyond the hundreds, she said nothing more.
Mo Qingzhu took two steps, then suddenly turned back, actively saying,
"Captain, will the Emerald War Group continue to try to recruit Tao Pai Pai?"
"Why don't I go to the real world and…"
Mo Qingzhu pressed the Zanpakuto at his waist, and the blade hummed softly, as if responding to his agitated soul.
"Ha… haha, hahahaha…"
The girl laughed, holding her stomach, rolling on the eaves, making the black tiles creak. It took her a while to recover.
She stood up, took a step, and like a frame-skipped animation, instantly appeared in front of Mo Qingzhu, placing one hand on his Zanpakuto.
Whoosh~
The Zanpakuto seemed to be wailing.
Mo Qingzhu subconsciously retreated with a Shunpo. The girl merely stood there, her eyes looking at her unpromising teammate with abandon.
"Stop saying things that make me laugh, Number Ninety-Eight. You don't even realize the gap between you and those truly talented individuals."
She looked up at Mo Qingzhu.
"The true, essential difference can be seen at a glance…"
Boom!
Mo Qingzhu only felt the world instantly turn dark green. The thick spiritual pressure almost liquefied, enveloping the entire sky.
Huff~ Huff…
Who knows how long passed, Mo Qingzhu gasped for air. Unlike the public Space, the gathering's Space offered greater freedom. Although direct combat was not possible, one could more clearly feel the other's power.
Mo Qingzhu recalled the terrifying spiritual pressure of the girl who called herself Kuruhi, his expression dejected.
Is Tao Pai Pai… that level of a guy…
A single-digit number holder…
