Absorption, Great Sin: Excessive Slaughter

Hiss!

The scarlet serpent seemed to let out a mournful cry before shattering into countless scarlet motes of light, which merged into the reincarnation mark on Bai Cangshu’s right hand.

At that moment, the black barrier surrounding the official residence began to collapse from above.

The rain clouds summoned into the sky had yet to disperse. Within the curtain of rain, Bai Cangshu clenched his right hand, and the scarlet motes completely condensed into it.

Great Sin: Omen of the Evil God (Second Tier) has successfully devoured Great Sin: Excessive Slaughter (Second Tier).

Great Sin: Omen of the Evil God has advanced. Current state: Omen of the Evil God (Third Tier).

All abilities of Omen of the Evil God have been enhanced.

Omen of the Evil God has gained a new ability: Excessive Slaughter.

Excessive Slaughter (Second Tier): Passive—As long as any of your attacks inflict physical damage on a target, the Scarlet Great Sin's power will amplify the damage suffered. The amplification is tied to the number of Karma Points; each Karma Point worsens the injury by 5%, potentially causing the body to shatter and resulting in death.

While Omen of the Evil God is active, it gains the Slaughter Form. In this form, no attack can be completely defended against, dealing at least skin-breaking damage. This ability possesses medium priority.

Excessive Slaughter (Second Tier) gains enhanced effects based on the number of slaughtered targets.

Bai Cangshu looked at the description on the panel. So there was such a benefit to a Great Sin Reincarnator killing another Great Sin Reincarnator…

No, perhaps killing Virtue Reincarnators would bring corresponding improvements as well.

Aside from directly obtaining the abilities of the Great Sin Excessive Slaughter, the original four forms corresponding to Omen of the Evil God had all received a certain boost. This included Cocoon of Greed’s reward range for gaining Scarlet Drop Cards and extra benefits from killing Reincarnators.

This time, however, no card appeared as a drop from the dead Xu Zhiyu. From this, Bai Cangshu concluded that when the Virtue Reincarnator named Roland died in the One Piece World, that Virtue Card had directly fallen into his hands.

That had been an abnormal phenomenon.

It was probably Roland’s arrangement. According to his description, his Virtue: Morning Star of Hope possessed a Causality System ability similar to a "wish-granting spell," capable of influencing the development and direction of events.

The other party had likely used that ability to interfere with the tendency for a Special Reincarnator’s card to be redeployed somewhere unknown after death, causing the card to fall directly before him.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Li Qingzi emerged from the rain curtain, dragging her battle blade. There were a few minor tears in the clothes around her waist and abdomen. The Barrier Master had probably still managed some resistance.

But against a Divine Speed Swordsman-type Reincarnator with such destructive power, an ordinary Barrier Master’s ultimate fate was likely defeat and death.

"You killed him…"

There was shock in Li Qingzi’s eyes. She knew Bai Cangshu was not someone who boasted, but how long had it been? A Special Reincarnator stronger than herself had just been killed by him?

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the stone-paved ground around them. Xu Zhiyu had not even managed a proper counterattack…

Bai Cangshu shook his head and crushed Xu Zhiyu’s Scarlet Drop Card, speaking casually.

"He was a madman, and he was an idiot. The one thing he wasn’t was a true expert."

After experiencing Secondary World B711, Bai Cangshu had gained a clearer understanding of the strength level of the Reincarnators currently in the Infinite Dimensional Space.

He guessed that at this stage, the major figures in the conventional sense—leaders of various gatherings and high-level teams—were all Fierce-tier. As for the Supreme Experts, or those powerhouses whose codenames he still did not know and who could mediate conflicts between Supreme Experts, they should be even stronger.

They might have reached Mad-tier.

Since he had never faced Eternal Destiny head-on and could only judge from his audacity in confronting Tatsumaki and Shigeo Kageyama, Bai Cangshu could only make such a conjecture.

More importantly, Bai Cangshu had gained a more intuitive understanding of the essence of power within this space.

He looked at the spot where Xu Zhiyu had last lain before his corpse turned into a Scarlet Drop Card and vanished.

Extremely high physical attributes, incredible speed, immense strength, and the ability to multiply damage through Excessive Slaughter as long as he could injure his opponent…

It was an ability combination that would likely find few rivals among Strong-tier Reincarnators.

When facing Reincarnators weaker than himself, he could practically achieve effortless instant kills.

Two or three mission worlds ago, he would probably have been the type of enemy Bai Cangshu found hardest to confront.

His strength and speed would have been overwhelmingly superior. No matter how exceptional Bai Cangshu’s martial arts were, they would have been useless.

But now, Bai Cangshu had realized that this degree of strength only allowed one to dominate the First Tier.

In the Second Tier: Energy Tier, Xu Zhiyu’s abilities could only be considered comparable to those energy-based powerhouses, each with their own strengths.

Against a martial artist like Red Dust, he could probably win if Red Dust had not learned more powerful martial arts. But against a Reincarnator like Millennium Worm, he would be countered and defeated.

By the Third Tier, he would completely lose his advantage.

Faced with the space’s myriad bizarre abilities, Xu Zhiyu lacked the means to respond. Perhaps because he had always been playing childish games with low-tier Reincarnators, this Scarlet Great Sin had barely appeared in the intelligence reports of various factions.

For a Great Sin Reincarnator to not become a feared fiend, Bai Cangshu had known the moment he learned that fact that Xu Zhiyu was not a truly formidable enemy.

Nor had he been boasting. Bai Cangshu had many ways to kill Xu Zhiyu.

With the March Group’s intelligence channels, he could easily obtain Xu Zhiyu’s true name and appearance. If he used the Death Note to Curse Kill him, Xu Zhiyu would not even get the chance to see Bai Cangshu.

The base speed enhanced by Eighth-Order Instant and Limit Break Spiral would grant him speed beyond Xu Zhiyu’s. Shun Goku Satsu combined with Death Intent Senluo had successfully killed Xu Zhiyu in an instant.

Not to mention that Bai Cangshu could actually release Satoru Gojo and Uchiha Madara. Sharingan Genjutsu and Unlimited Void could both create certain-kill situations against Xu Zhiyu, who lacked immunity abilities.

Comparing himself to Xu Zhiyu, Bai Cangshu also gained a clearer understanding of the direction in which he needed to strengthen himself next.

Resistance and immunity against all kinds of abnormal abilities, and… priority!

The priority of abilities had been repeatedly mentioned in the space’s various descriptions, and Bai Cangshu had come to understand its importance.

You have opened a Scarlet Drop Card.

Bai Cangshu looked at the reward increase from Cocoon of Greed (Third Tier) combined with killing a Great Sin Reincarnator. He could actually obtain three rewards outright.

"This really is… encouraging me to hunt other Great Sins…"
