Chapter 537: all the world's evil, Seize! (3K+)
[Based on your Assassin class, you have gained Command Seal Enhancement: Regeneration.]
[Based on your Assassin class, you have gained Magic Power Replenishment (Strong).]
An endless stream of power continuously emerged from within Bai Cangshu, helping him resist the erosion of the black mud. The power of the Command Seal, in particular, revitalized Bai Cangshu's body, which was decaying from the erosion, every time it appeared.
Bai Cangshu's current body was actually somewhere between a Servant's and a normal Reincarnator's physical form.
The [Assassin] class was like an invisible exoskeleton armor, attached to Bai Cangshu's own body.
This armor, most of the time, would restrict some of Bai Cangshu's abilities while simultaneously enhancing him in other aspects.
But when subjected to erosion, this erosive force directly acted upon Bai Cangshu's own body and soul beneath the [Assassin] class.
However, that kind-hearted Master seemed to "fail to recognize" that the Holy Grail War had ended, and even the wish-granting process had been seized by their Servant. They continued to provide strong support to this Assassin through magic power supply and Command Seals.
Bai Cangshu unexpectedly gained enormous assistance.
The first enhancement Bai Cangshu received while being continuously contaminated by the black mud was the upgrade of his [Immortality] from intermediate to advanced.
Bai Cangshu easily understood, as the Holy Grail War was originally a ritual to pursue the [Third Magic: Heaven's Feel].
And the so-called [Third Magic: Heaven's Feel] was essentially a magic that transformed the soul into a perpetual motion machine-like material form, gaining eternal life and infinite magic power.
Although Bai Cangshu did not believe that a ritual of the Holy Grail War's difficulty could truly allow one to obtain a complete [Heaven's Feel]—that so-called eternal life, arbitrarily changing soul forms, and infinite magic power had never fully appeared in the Type-Moon World.
This was likely a special state that could only be achieved based on the [Root].
But if it was merely to enhance his immortality, this effect was highly likely to be achieved.
In fact, Bai Cangshu believed that he didn't need to absorb too much "black mud" to achieve this effect.
Of course, because [all the world's evil] would distort human wishes, fulfilling them in a completely malicious way.
For example, at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, after Emiya Kiritsugu saw the truth that the Holy Grail had been corrupted, he used a Command Seal to order Saber to destroy the Holy Grail.
The result was that the Holy Grail was indeed destroyed, but the black mud flowing out of it directly caused the Fuyuki City fire, creating a huge disaster;
Even though Emiya Kiritsugu didn't make a wish, he merely issued a command with the thought of saving more people, yet it was still twisted into a catastrophic outcome.
Bai Cangshu considered himself a completely self-centered person. Unlike Emiya Kiritsugu, he didn't care how much disaster the Great Holy Grail caused to Fuyuki City, or even if it destroyed Japan or this world.
Therefore, the best way for [all the world's evil] to twist malice was naturally to use the most violent and terrifying power to destroy Bai Cangshu himself.
Bai Cangshu also knew this, but he still wished to obtain all the power.
This contained his greed, as well as his understanding of the Infinite Dimensional Space.
Just as with the infection and distortion he experienced after the Lord Taishan, as long as he had the possibility of survival, the Space would find a way to redeem him, its "loyal" Scavenger.
In a place like the Infinite Dimensional Space, as long as you can obtain it, almost any power can eventually be dissolved.
Therefore, with his infinite greed, he wanted to absorb [all the world's evil], including the [Avenger: Angra Mainyu] within, into his body.
He completely regarded his Sea of Consciousness as a huge containment facility, accepting all comers: Yin spirits, Cursed Spirits, vengeful spirits, guardian spirits... even gods and heroic spirits, he wanted to try to accommodate them.
In Bai Cangshu's view, the so-called [Ten Thousand Tribulations Yin Spirit Yellow Spring Body] was a special physique that allowed one to contain all Yin spirits, control all Yin spirits, and thus gain myriad divine wonders.
[You have undergone the erosion of all the world's evil, and your characteristic · High-Speed Self-Healing has been upgraded. Current: Hyper-Regeneration.]
[You have suffered severe erosion, and your vitality has been greatly weakened...]
After an unknown number of times this prompt appeared, Bai Cangshu only felt that his physical shell had become incredibly heavy, as if his entire being had become sluggish.
It was as if his soul had been filled with lead.
His thinking speed began to be affected, and the rotation speed of the Heart Vortex, which plunged into the sky, also began to slow down.

"Hey, hey, that guy didn't overdo it, did he!"
Gojo Satoru had already removed his blindfold. Within his Six Eyes, white clouds swirled, but he couldn't clearly see what those black muds continuously flowing and dripping from the Heart's Throne truly were.
Millennium Bug vaguely sensed the truth. Although he hadn't been able to leave Tao Pai Pai's body during this time, he had confirmed through the continuously absorbed heroic spirits that his host, Tao Pai Pai, had most likely entered the Type-Moon World.
"That's probably energy formed from the malice and negative wishes of the entire world..."
Millennium Bug answered Gojo Satoru thus, but everyone present could only quietly watch the black mud continuously flowing and dripping from the [Heart's Throne] suspended in the air.
Then it fell into this pure white consciousness space. Because the few of them were guarding the four sides of the Heart's Throne, not many Yin spirits could enter this space.
For a short time, no Yin spirits had come into contact with that substance, but everyone knew that as long as the black mud continuously infiltrated, whether it flowed into the Underworld or touched the Yin spirits, changes would inevitably occur.
Even a Reincarnator like Millennium Bug had never encountered such a thing.
According to the setting, ordinary people who come into contact with this black mud generally suffer malicious erosion, eventually leading to Mental collapse or death; while mages with Magic Circuits who touch the black mud can try to resist with magic, but ultimately, they will still be affected, suffering Mental erosion or a drastic shortening of their lifespan;
Even powerful Heroic Spirits and Servants, when contaminated by black mud, will have their personalities twisted and their bodies damaged.
So what exactly were these spiritual bodies?
Could they resist the erosion of the black mud?
Millennium Bug had no idea.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the special spiritual body whose face was filled with black curses.
Black Face!
The special spiritual body from the Naruto World: the Shinigami!
Gilgamesh in Fate, not only did he not suffer erosion when he came into contact with the black mud, but he even used it to reconstruct his physical body, becoming a special Servant capable of independent existence.
Besides Gilgamesh's own strength as a Heroic Spirit, the two special aspects in Millennium Bug's view were probably these.
First, Gilgamesh possessed divinity;
Second, Gilgamesh was extremely arrogant and self-centered, a guy very difficult to be eroded and changed by malice.
Of these two points, Tao Pai Pai, who now held the power of life and death over all their spiritual bodies, most likely also possessed the second point.
Tao Pai Pai's arrogance and self-centeredness were acknowledged by Gojo Satoru, who also considered himself supreme in heaven and earth.
"Divinity... I think he needs divinity!"
As soon as Millennium Bug spoke, Gojo Satoru instantly appeared in front of Black Face.
Black Face was enveloped in intense spiritual pressure. He was not afraid of Gojo Satoru, or rather, after awakening, he regarded himself as superior to all other spiritual bodies here.
He was a god!
"Go, sit on it!"
Gojo Satoru's eyes were cold, his entire body's Cursed Energy burned, transforming into a mixture of dark and crimson, manifesting in this space.
When the Cursed Energy condensed, it was like chains, emerging from the flesh behind Gojo Satoru and dangling into the Underworld below.
A chilling, deathly aura began to emanate from Gojo Satoru's body. He spread his arms, and on both arms, new eyes suddenly began to appear, opening to reveal the Six Eyes' appearance.
This was...
Millennium Bug, Uchiha Madara, Minato Namikaze, and newly entered spiritual bodies like Lyubu, were all stunned.
They had entered this space at different times, but none had ever seen Gojo Satoru in such a state.
They only felt that Gojo Satoru in this state seemed to be subtly connected to the Underworld, exuding an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
Black Face held the katana, unsheathed, and confronted Gojo Satoru coldly for a moment, then floated upwards, spinning.
"When the King returns, I will eat you."
Black Face's voice was hoarse and hollow, as if it wasn't directly transmitted to others' senses, but rather echoed around, being heard by you.
This was his extremely rare vocalization, and it also showed terrifying malice towards Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru, however, didn't care. The chains behind him pulled in the Underworld, and his Cursed Energy was extremely dense.
In this space, Cursed Spirits were born almost every moment. As the only "Sorcerer" in this world, he was naturally growing stronger.
At the same time, Gojo Satoru, seeing the increasingly powerful Bai Cangshu and the increasingly novel powers, naturally refused to be left behind. He was also pursuing power in his own way.
The next moment, Gojo Satoru, in this state, appeared out of nowhere before the pure white, constantly wriggling spiritual body, his mouth spreading into a chilling smile.
"Miss, it seems we still have a score to settle, huh? While that guy isn't back yet, I'm very interested in settling things with you."
Gojo Satoru lowered his head, looking at White Mask, who was trapping the blonde female knight with her spiritual body. His eyes were wanton, and as his Cursed Energy emanated, his demeanor became increasingly sinister.
White Mask's gaze shifted, and she also realized that this Gojo Satoru in front of her was the one she had cursed to death as a sacrifice using the Lord Taishan.
Her lips curled, just about to mock.
But then she suddenly felt the world before her tear apart.
Pfft!
The white spiritual body turned into flying flesh and blood.
Gojo Satoru's hands moved with invisible speed, tearing. The spatial power distorted by Limitless directly reversed the AT Field that White Mask was using to trap Saber, tearing her apart.
White Mask's consciousness fell into chaos. When she reappeared, she emerged from the murky yellow water. As soon as she surfaced, she saw the white-haired, sinister man with his head bowed, Cursed Energy constantly surging.
"Damn it, Tao Pai Pai really sucks everything into his body..."
At this moment, Black Face, who had arrived in front of the Heart's Throne, slowly descended into the black mud. The next moment, Black Face was struck by lightning.
Golden light erupted from the Heart's Throne.
Buzz!
A strong tremor occurred. The next moment, Black Face was sent flying with a bang, like a ray, crashing into the Underworld.
"Who allowed you to touch my things?!"
Bai Cangshu's unique arrogant voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.
On the Heart's Throne, the golden light was incredibly warm. The next moment, the tremor in the Sea of Consciousness disappeared.
Saber frowned. The Throne of Heroes absorbing her power seemed... to have disappeared?!
