Divine Descent, Bai Cangshu VS God’s Favored

Sizzle!

Lightning churned violently across the sky.

Bai Cangshu floated in the air, looking down at the densely packed corpse ghouls below and the ever-increasing number of White Walkers.

Among them were quite a few unusually shaped mutant White Walkers.

Yet Bai Cangshu could not sense the slightest threat.

He threw back his head and laughed wildly, guiding the lightning with his finger.

"Ancient Alien God, without me, you can’t descend…"

Thunder Arrow of Destiny!

Bai Cangshu did not aim at any target. He merely unleashed this terrifying ability into empty space.

He did not believe in fate, but he believed that his Strong Luck would guide this strike toward the true enemy.

The sky suddenly darkened. The next moment, blinding lightning robbed everyone of their sight.

Accompanied by a roar as though heaven and earth had split apart, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky and struck several hundred kilometers away from Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu bent his legs in midair and stepped with Moonwalk. The air became a viscous wall, violently caving in before Bai Cangshu shot forward with a bang.

He tore straight through three rings of Blazing White sonic boom clouds.

The explosive shriek of the sonic boom nearly shattered the eardrums of those hiding in the factory buildings and the surrounding wilderness.

All of them stared helplessly at the white contrail streaking across the sky.

"Brother, is he… going to save Japan…?"

Masaru Kato’s younger brother covered his mouth as he spoke, carefully concealing the fangs in his mouth from the others.

Masaru Kato remained silent for a long time before merely shaking his head. He did not know the answer.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu continued to accelerate by stepping through the air. Sky Dancing Technique combined with Moonwalk’s changes in direction allowed him to rapidly approach the place where the lightning had struck, moving almost like a supersonic fighter jet.

It was a beach. With the contract broken, the coastal waters that had been frozen began to thaw.

On the beach, the skin covering a charred figure slowly split open, revealing crimson flesh beneath.

A woman’s corpse lay shriveled on the sand.

Although both of their faces were nearly unrecognizable, Bai Cangshu relied on the information-gathering ability of his Limit Break Spiral state, which allowed him to understand everything.

Using only his memory of how others had "felt," he recognized the mummified corpse before him as Reika Shimohira, once beautiful and voluptuous.

The woman’s eyes were hollow. As her flesh had shriveled away, her eyeballs protruded instead, filled with disbelief.

On the other side, the man whose vitality had been restored through bloodsucking began to grow skin over his exposed flesh. Kei Kurono revealed his original appearance once more.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Mercenary Tao? You’ve done this countless times too, haven’t you?"

Kei Kurono’s voice was unexpectedly cool and detached, without any of his usual lust-driven or unstable manner.

Bai Cangshu spread his hands and nodded cheerfully.

"Yeah. Probably too many times to count."

Bai Cangshu’s Killer Demon milestone alone meant that more than a thousand people had died by his hand. Including those he had indirectly caused to die, the number of souls he had killed, the number of reincarnators he had killed…

In terms of slaughter, this "Kei Kurono" likely could not compare to Bai Cangshu.

Kei Kurono retreated two steps as claws grew from both hands. At the same time, in the coastal waters beyond the beach, an ice-blue boy led a girl as they drifted off an ice floe and returned to shore.

Farther away, in the woods, a massive creature with enormous eyes was also destroying the forest as it approached the beach.

"Kei Kurono" continued to sneer.

"Then why is someone like you pretending to save this country today?"

"Just the aftermath of a single battle from someone like you would kill who knows how many hundreds or thousands of weak little insects like them."

"You…"

"Ha…~"

Bai Cangshu’s soft laugh interrupted Kei Kurono. Looking at this clumsy God’s Favored, Bai Cangshu found it genuinely amusing.

"Hahaha…"

"I think you’ve misunderstood something…"

Bai Cangshu covered his forehead, finding the other man’s stupidity and shallow understanding utterly ridiculous.

It was precisely because he was weak that his understanding of morality and justice was so superficial, and that he could not comprehend the logic behind Bai Cangshu’s actions.

"Because it’s fun."

After laughing for a while, Bai Cangshu stopped. He had deliberately allowed the other side to gather their people so he could wipe them all out at once.

Kei Kurono froze for a moment, still failing to understand what Bai Cangshu meant.

But even that hesitation was completely read by Bai Cangshu through Mantra.

A red phantom appeared over Bai Cangshu’s body.

You have lost 1 Karma Point. You have activated Omen of the Evil God.

A scarlet outline enveloped Kei Kurono’s body. It was proof of the weak.

"I’m saying that I kill them, save them, kill you, strengthen you, all because… it’s fun."

"Yes, yes, yes… That expression on your face right now is incredibly fun."

Watching these weak creatures, whose every move fell completely within his thoughts, brought Bai Cangshu immense pleasure. It was like how many people, when young, enjoyed urinating into anthills.

It was a powerful creature instinctively using weaker creatures to gain pleasure.

Sizzle—crack, crack.

A frigid power came from the sea, and as the boy and girl stepped onto the beach, the temperature in the air rapidly dropped by several degrees.

The boy’s pupils were entirely ice-blue. Looking at Bai Cangshu, he said,

"Can you make a contract with me?"

You have been affected by the ability of Abnormal Ghoul: Twin Mutant. A mental check is in progress.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu flicked his finger, and a mass of white air abruptly shot out, striking the boy’s forehead and sending him flying backward.

You have resisted this ability's effect.

"No."

Bai Cangshu was still smiling. Kei Kurono had already realized that Mercenary Tao’s abilities completely overwhelmed his own group.

Before he could feel fear, an utterly frigid will descended from the heavens and completely engulfed him.

Hum~

Bai Cangshu brushed the shattered ice from his body and took several more steps back.

"Oh, oh, you finally couldn’t hold back, could you, Lord God…"

When Bai Cangshu had first seen Kei Kurono revive through bloodsucking, he had already realized Kei Kurono’s peculiarity.

An ordinary person, even one who had gained a vampire’s abilities, could not possibly survive being struck by his Thunder Arrow of Destiny.

Furthermore, the other man carried the scent of God’s Favored.

Having experienced the Fox Outer God attaching divine power to his body, Bai Cangshu was also well aware of the Ancient Alien God’s trump card.

Rumble!

At that moment, the forest behind them was flattened. A White Walker that used countless fine red intestines to drag thousands of people along appeared at the edge of the beach.

Bai Cangshu turned around, saw a familiar person, and applauded.

"Very good. It seems my judgment wasn’t bad. You truly have more potential than the other White Walkers."

The next moment, the world suddenly turned to darkness.

Chilling, deathly divine power erupted in an instant.
