Life Equation, Power of Binary Paradox (3K Subscription Request)

Despair

Cold panel notifications appeared before Solomon and Bai Cangshu at the same time. Solomon’s face turned ashen, completely consumed by the terror and despair bestowed by the Anti-Life Equation and Mercenary Tao.

But after a slight pause, Bai Cangshu unleashed dark green fist pressure that blanketed the entire battlefield.

The purple Titan—Thanos—felt that intense palpitation in his heart once more. He uncontrollably saw countless bleak futures.

There was no way forward.

He stood where he was, allowing the flood-like fist intent to drown everything.

Clark Kent’s figure vanished abruptly. In the next instant, Bai Cangshu discovered in shock that this Kryptonian had appeared before every one of his phantoms within the Pseudo Shun Goku Satsu that he had activated through instinct and martial arts.

Bang bang bang bang…

The sound of vacuum waves exploding erupted amid New York’s ruins. Terrifying shockwaves surged back toward the Atlantic Ocean, creating massive tides rushing into the depths of the sea.

This was Bai Cangshu’s first time having a move like Shun Goku Satsu destroyed by someone using nothing but pure physical strength, even if it was only a Shun Goku Satsu unleashed through his own bodily power.

But this was Bai Cangshu’s speed at full force!

With Agility exceeding one thousand points, his speed, honed over half a lifetime, had already reached several hundred times the speed of sound. Yet Clark intercepted every attack with precision.

Solomon’s face was filled with terror. He discovered that his Future Sight had failed again. His head ached violently, as though Mercenary Tao’s fingers were still lodged beneath his skull.

What exactly was going on…

Why had Superman become the Black King? Why had two Black Kings appeared this time…

What were their purposes?

Why were they stopping Mercenary Tao from killing him…

All those questions ultimately gave rise to a faint hope that should not have existed—Can I survive?!

Failure

Solomon’s face instantly turned gray. The tiny bit of relief and hope he had just felt vanished in an instant. An indescribable sense of failure filled his heart, that frustration like a black hole devouring all his will, leaving him almost unable even to activate his abilities.

Though reason told him that the Anti-Life Equation was intensifying its effects, he simply could not resist that feeling.

Before his eyes appeared the image of himself confidently laying out plans in this world for so long, finally reaching the time to reap the rewards. Yet at that very moment, Snow Witch Fu Qinghuan, driven by selfish motives, had wanted to bring the incompetent Yun Wujiu into this world and thus allowed a crucial mission item to leak out.

It had then accidentally fallen into the hands of another Reincarnator, ultimately leading to the emergence of Mercenary Tao, that massive variable.

But even so, he had still been full of confidence. He believed that with his Mystic Eyes and the newly acquired power of the Stairway, at worst, he could join Mercenary Tao in hunting everyone else and harvest this world’s power.

The final result… utter defeat!

Even after ascending to the eighth step of the Stairway of Light and Darkness, all his hopes had still been shattered by Mercenary Tao’s unreasonable power.

Even after truly allowing the Black King Society to enter the fray, he still could not escape.

Another face appeared in Solomon’s mind. It too had silver hair, one red eye and one blue eye, with a face as exquisite as a doll’s.

Solomon’s expression twisted bitterly. In the end, even if she had told him everything, he still could not do it…

Solomon’s life force began to rapidly wither. Humans were an exceptionally peculiar species. Once they lost all will to live, even the slightest pain could ultimately take their lives.

Even mere hallucinations of pain could kill the body.

Thanos was the same. This ambitious Titan, who had even sought to suppress the vitality and civilization of the entire universe, now had nothing but the bitterness of failure in his eyes.

Superman descended from the sky. He reached one hand toward Bai Cangshu. Even with only his sense of smell, he could detect the evil on this human.

This was someone who would constantly unleash slaughter wherever he went in the Infinite Dimensional Space, someone who stood against everything.

A black-and-silver luster seemed to flicker across Clark Kent’s black Superman suit.

Bang!

The distorted force gathered around Bai Cangshu’s body, the Three Parts Return to Origin Force born from strength and constitution that surpassed most divine races, exploded with a bang.

The scattered force kicked up a violent gale and shook the ruins.

Superman’s hand descended irresistibly onto Bai Cangshu’s forehead.

Bai Cangshu raised his eyes. In the next instant, one hand directly seized Superman’s wrist.

Crack~ Bang!

The moment their arms touched, black lightning exploded through the air. Clark Kent lowered his head and met those defiant eyes.

Despair was useless against him. Failure was useless too.

This human… was very unusual.

Bai Cangshu had no such thoughts. Ever since he had first resisted the Anti-Life Equation, he had instinctively assumed that the intensity of his qi was now enough to completely resist Superman’s ability.

But then he realized that Superman had still used his ability despite his Lord of the Realm trait!

Sizzle!

The air began to warp as two enormous physical forces, beyond ordinary human comprehension, wrestled against each other. Lightning burst between them.

In the next moment, the glow of Heat Vision lit up in Superman’s eyes. Bai Cangshu’s gaze sharpened as dark green light gathered before his eyes.

Buzz!

Terrifying power erupted at point-blank range. Destructive shockwaves slammed into both of them without restraint.

The warped storm clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed. The ocean and sky, spiraling because of the Holy Lance’s appearance, were both shaken into distortion.

Bai Cangshu felt the unmatched destructive power born from his pure strength.

"Ha~"

He exhaled sharply, inch by inch forcing the arm of this god among men away from his head.

Clark watched this human. That uncontrollable fury, that trait of being unaffected by the negative emotions of the Anti-Life Equation, both made him sense something abnormal.

In the next instant, the Anti-Life Equation seemed to reassemble in the void.

Love = lies. Life = death. Self = darkness. One after another, the twisted will and power directly altered reality.

Bai Cangshu shuddered. The explosive qi on his body and the Spiritual Pressure so dense it could not be dispersed seemed to freeze.

Superman released his hand. Looking at the Fierce Beast that had finally been "tamed," he extended a hand toward Solomon below, who was about to be killed by the Anti-Life Equation.

Splash~

Suddenly, the sound of rushing water arose in the air. Superman paused and looked up, only to see murky Yellow Springs water erupting as though from within that motionless human’s body. An Illusory Gate appeared.

Bai Cangshu only felt somewhat irritated. But he was not irritated by the tedious effects the Anti-Life Equation had imposed on him. He was irritated because he could not defeat his enemy, because his prey was right before him yet he had been interrupted.

Feeling the surging Myriad Death Intent, Bai Cangshu instinctively grasped the power that had been suppressed in this world all along as it took tangible form.

"Die, die, die… die!"

Terrifying death intent erupted in an instant. The phantom of the Yin Emperor appeared behind Bai Cangshu.

King Yama!

Bai Cangshu clenched his left hand and threw a punch. The terrifying phantom became as vast as heaven and earth in an instant, occupying the minds of Clark, Solomon, and Thanos.

A distinct character for death collapsed and condensed before their eyes.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu erupted from the silence imposed by the Anti-Life Equation and threw a punch in an instant, completely engulfing Superman, Solomon, and Thanos.

In the next moment, the Illusory Gate opened, and the sound of Yellow Springs surging echoed throughout New York.

Rhongomyniad in the sky also turned her gaze toward them. She raised her right hand, and in the next instant, brilliant radiance flashed as it directly pierced Bai Cangshu’s body from the sky.

Thud, thud!

Two corpses crashed to the ground. The pain inflicted by the Anti-Life Equation still lingered on Solomon and Thanos’s faces.

You have killed Thanos and obtained S-rank Singularity*1

You killed Reincarnator LL70015666 in a team survival mode world. This kill cannot generate drops... Anomaly

Under the effect of Cocoon of Greed (Tier 3), you obtained Karma Points*1. Generating Scarlet Drop Card

Bai Cangshu’s waist and abdomen had been completely obliterated, but his smile was almost twisted as he looked at the Kryptonian who had also been smashed to the ground by his punch and laughed madly.

"Ha… hahahahaha…"

"That thing is useless!"

Black King Clark lowered his head and looked at the death intent spreading across the silver S emblem on his chest, as well as the murky yellow illusory water. This Fierce Beast, who seemed not only obsessed with slaughtering Plot Characters and destroying worldlines but equally obsessed with slaughtering Reincarnators, finally took on a concrete form in his eyes.

A false thing wearing human skin, an artificially created near-human being.

Beneath that powerful flesh lay nothing at all, so naturally it could not be tamed by the Anti-Life Equation.

On the contrary…

Clark watched various radiances begin to appear around Bai Cangshu. The power in his entire body suddenly began to reverse.

His black suit turned white, while the dim silver S emblem on his chest rapidly turned gold.

He thrust one hand directly into Bai Cangshu’s pierced waist and abdomen.

Love. Truth. Hope.

Various symbols began to be implanted into Bai Cangshu’s body. Bai Cangshu suddenly felt his body become incomparably heavy, and an inexplicable sorrow began to emerge.

"Damn it… you bastard…"

Reincarnator EX051, you have been affected by the ability: Life Equation

Conducting resistance check...

Check failed. You have been affected by the ability: Life Equation

FXXK!

Bai Cangshu grew even angrier. He had not expected that the intensity of his qi still could not resist this effect.

He did not even have the energy to consider why Black King Clark Kent possessed the powers of both the Anti-Life Equation and the Life Equation.

Bai Cangshu grabbed the Scarlet Drop Card that had appeared before him, along with the Drop Card flickering with red radiance.

As he cursed, his body grew heavier and heavier. Enormous pain followed, and for the first time in his life, he began to feel fear.

It was the helplessness felt by millions when facing Lu Chen, when facing angels slaughtering them without restraint.

Boom!

Golden magic power surged into the sky. Countless sensations engulfed Bai Cangshu in an instant. The last sight he saw was the white-clad Kryptonian throwing him toward the ocean, which had already turned golden.

In the sky, the indifferent Rhongomyniad slowly withdrew the Holy Lance and turned to step onto the Stairway.

The Stairway was half black and half white, as though reflecting the two mutually contradictory powers within Superman Clark.

Bai Cangshu thought of the Stairway of Eternal Return he had activated in this world, as well as Solomon’s Stairway where holy and demonic light transformed into one another.

It seemed… they were all powers of Binary Paradox…

Whoosh!

Bai Cangshu sank into the golden ocean as countless radiances and emotions completely engulfed him.
