Chapter 585: A World with 78% Distortion
It was a stench, a decay, as if the very soil was made of human flesh and remains.
The air carried a burnt smell.
In the endless void, smells and sounds always returned first, followed by vision slowly focusing.
The Professor once again assumed the appearance of a medium-haired woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. She gasped, as if she had been consciously holding her breath during the deployment process.
He instinctively hunched over, his muscles tensed, and a gem in his right hand had already shattered, mysterious whispers rising in his ears.
He immediately received much additional information.
"Is that the ability of the Tarot Sequence? How interesting~"
A flippant voice sounded from behind his ear. The hairs on the Professor's back instantly stood on end. He hadn't sensed Tao Pai Pai's aura at all. Turning his head, he only saw Tao Pai Pai, also restored to his pink robe, floating in the air.
He swayed slightly under the giant tree, along with the wisps of smoke in the breeze.
And if one closed their eyes, Tao Pai Pai's presence would completely vanish. He was merely floating in the air, already integrated with the surrounding aura.
Mind like Zhi Shui, Dao follows nature…
The Professor knew very well that this was proof that Tao Pai Pai's martial arts technique had reached the pinnacle of skill.
He also relaxed a little. At least, in this world, a monster like Tao Pai Pai would be his most reliable ally.
"Be careful, Lord Tao Pai Pai. This world is very dangerous. Even you should not be careless."
Bai Cangshu suddenly turned his head, and a strange wind spontaneously arose. Across the vast grassland, a leaf spun and flew towards him.
He stretched out his hand and gently drew it in, and an invisible, subtle force guided it into his palm.
The front of the leaf had clear, intricate patterns, like an Ouroboros, that iconic symbol representing the Infinite Dimensional Space.
He flipped the leaf over, only to see golden characters rapidly appearing on the back of the leaf, like molten gold, leaving behind dark script.

...
A large number of milestones appeared all at once. The number of triggerable milestones in this world was beyond imagination, and their level was also far higher than before.
There were more than five milestones of the 'Extremely Rare' grade alone.
And…
Bai Cangshu looked at the distortion of this world, which was as high as 78%. The Sub-World B711 he had experienced before probably only had a distortion of just over thirty percent.
From this perspective, this world was indeed quite special, and… extremely dangerous.
Bai Cangshu looked at the descriptions of Ancient Gods and Outer Gods. It was clear that this world, unlike those derivative worlds of dragons, was no longer merely a Dragon King's world.
"Ah!"
As if waiting for them to just finish receiving the world information, and also because they entered using Hearthstone, which didn't trigger a main quest, a shrill scream now came from the distant cliff below.
Buzz~
The air subtly twisted, and Artoria, who had been hidden by magic, revealed herself.
She was currently considered Bai Cangshu's creation and not an independent Reincarnator, so even if she wasn't added to a temporary team, she still entered this world with Bai Cangshu's teleportation.
She looked at the familiar yet strange scenery around her. The wildly growing weeds had already reached her knees. All around were grasslands and hills. The so-called cliff was merely a rock face less than a hundred meters high.
Black rocks were exposed, and below, amidst a large grassy area, a group of soldiers in tattered armor were continuously retreating.
In front of them, there was only a single figure with its head bowed, swaying slowly and steadily towards the soldiers.
Behind the figure, over a dozen scattered corpses already lay.
The Professor watched this scene, and with a flash of light in his hand, a hand cannon appeared.
Bai Cangshu had no intention of acting. With his perception, he could easily sense that the group of soldiers below had no special power whatsoever.
They were probably at the level of ordinary farmers. Their armor and weapons were crudely made.
Most likely, they were cannon fodder meant to fill ranks on the battlefield. At this moment, describing them as a routed army would be more fitting.
And pursuing them was a human radiating a peculiar aura. His limbs were far more muscular than an ordinary human's. That was the kind of strength that could tear a human body apart with bare hands.
"Should we intervene?"
The Professor instinctively asked, but received no reply. He looked at Tao Pai Pai, who merely maintained an noncommittal posture.
The Professor pursed his lips, about to act, but then saw a flash of black and red sword light.
Boom!
A massive gully directly tore through the hillside. Terrifying magic directly cleaved the mutated, special human in half.
Limbs and head flew in all directions.
After the routed soldiers instinctively screamed in terror, it took a moment for them to realize they were saved. They looked back and saw a female knight in black and red armor on the hillside.
"Thank you, Lady Knight!"
"We… are saved!"
Their exclamations didn't last long before Artoria was already close to them.
"Tell me, time, location?"
Her voice was cold, and her sword was raised. The group of routed soldiers understood and spoke in a clamor.
The Professor, however, frowned, as if sensing something peculiar, and said to Tao Pai Pai,
"It is the year 1435. This is probably… Artoria's homeland…"
For a King of Britannia to arrive in her homeland nearly a thousand years later, it was normal for some special reactions to occur.
He looked up at the sky. There, in one spot, the clouds twisted like a vortex, and across this hilly grassland, there were traces of fire everywhere.
At first, he only thought it was arson during war, but now it seemed to be a sign of the Dragon King's revival.
Zzzzt~
Blue-white electric light flickered faintly around Bai Cangshu's body. His Mind Net was fully expanded, and within the vast domain, there were surprisingly few human voices.
There were corpses everywhere, death everywhere. In a distant village, people were piling up large numbers of corpses for burning.
The next moment, hoofbeats sounded, and a group of knights in white cloaks arrived from a distance. Seeing these people, the routed soldiers' expressions immediately relaxed.
"This is great, it's the Healing Church!"
"Lord Laurence heard our prayers, our war… is over!"
This group of people no longer paid attention to the black-armored female knight. Ignoring their injuries, they ran towards that group of knights.
As long as they had that 'blood medicine', even if they contracted that damned plague on the battlefield, they could survive, as long as… they were devout enough!
The Professor lowered his head and spoke to Bai Cangshu,
"They are from the Healing Church. They are probably another factor distorting this world. What do you think, should we make contact?"
Bai Cangshu merely watched as the group of knights distributed some kind of potion to the routed soldiers, then walked towards him and his companions.
And the routed soldiers who took the potion also took some grayish-white cloth from their horses and draped it behind them. This indicated that they had joined the Healing Church, were no longer soldiers, and had officially withdrawn from the war.
One of them suddenly clutched his head. He felt his brain becoming very sluggish, as if some sound was constantly appearing in his mind.
His body also felt lighter and lighter, and his arm was incredibly itchy. Feeling annoyed, he suddenly clawed fiercely.
Pfft!
Warm blood splattered all over him.
Beneath his completely mutated arm, a headless corpse slowly fell.
"Ah! Duncan is impious, he's turned into a beast!"
Duncan shook his head, the voices fluctuating in volume.
I'm impious?
No, I'm clearly the most devout. I even… offered my own sister to the Church!
The people around him were still yelling, and Duncan grew even more agitated. He wanted to retort, but instead let out a strange roar.
Roar!
Bai Cangshu watched this scene, a smile on his face.
Blood medicine… To him, it was quite a good thing.
"Go, Artoria, kill all these filthy wretches who have trampled your homeland~"
"Uh, leave that guy."
The one he pointed to was none other than the already mutated Duncan.
