New King of the Divine Kingdom, the Tyrannical Spirit Lord

Huff, huff.

Li Qingzi moved at godlike speed, streaking through the skies above D City like a beam of light. Her LV7 Moonwalk was already nearing its limit, and she was almost leaping through the air in a straight line.

Faster!

Even faster!

Otherwise, she would die!

Li Qingzi ran frantically as the boundless sea behind her surged up from the sky. Seven or eight reincarnators were fleeing before that sea, some using flying devices, others riding summoned creatures capable of flight.

Everyone knew that sea was very likely Tang Sanzang’s ability.

Li Qingzi shot out of D City like a streak of light. She had originally seen Bai Cangshu appear in B City through a B City television broadcast and intended to join him, but a series of sudden changes had erupted instead.

First, the world’s difficulty had abruptly been fixed at Purgatory, and the space had begun encouraging other reincarnators to evacuate.

Then Tang Sanzang suddenly made his move, dragging everyone into combat status. Li Qingzi faintly sensed that this did not seem like Tang Sanzang’s usual style.

Although he was arrogant, he would not make such a commotion when killing people. Even if he had suffered a loss at Shigeo Kageyama’s hands and his strength had declined, he should not have displayed such behavior before this group of reincarnators.

But since she and Heart Demon had failed to kill Tang Sanzang together, she knew she was no match for him and immediately chose to flee, with no intention of investigating.

Inside D City, Tang Sanzang’s expression stiffened as he looked at Saitama, who had suddenly appeared before him. The undisguised hostility radiating from the other man nearly froze his mind.

What terrified him even more was the enormous severed arm Saitama was dragging. Its appearance clearly belonged to the body of a Veritas God Race in its released form.

Had Lord Eternal Destiny been killed by Saitama?!

Had the Black King Project failed?!

Countless guesses flashed through his mind, but he could not utter a word.

Because of his formidable strength, Tang Sanzang could sense that Saitama had vaguely locked onto him. However, Saitama was still searching for the others.

Tang Sanzang was quick-witted. He immediately raised the Sea of Suffering, and sure enough, the reincarnators hiding in the city exposed themselves and began fleeing after sensing his arrival.

Saitama’s gaze shifted slightly away from him and toward the people in the sky.

With a flash of light, the purple Treasure Gourd reappeared in Tang Sanzang’s hand. A bead of sweat formed at his temple, while his dark golden Arhat Golden Body rose and fell faintly.

The next moment, as if a gust of wind had swept past, the sense of danger in Tang Sanzang’s heart swelled to its limit.

He immediately activated the Treasure Gourd, intending to use the same trick and draw himself inside.

In his field of vision, Saitama’s figure slowly vanished, while a fierce wind arose behind him.

Whoosh!

The Treasure Gourd lit up. Tang Sanzang instantly began shrinking and was sucked into it.

But at that moment, a hand reached out and grabbed the Treasure Gourd that was about to shrink.

Saitama looked at the strange object, shook it twice, then clapped his hands together.

Bang!

The terrifying sound was like a missile exploding between his palms.

A bloody mist erupted together with golden light.

Cracks immediately spread across Tang Sanzang’s golden body. Terror filled his eyes, and the deliberately cultivated Zen calm and deeply hidden arrogance both vanished.

All that remained was fear.

"No, no, no…"

Pfft!

Golden bloody mist burst apart in an instant.

Saitama turned to look at the few people in the air riding strange summoned creatures, then threw a punch through the air.

Boom!

Bloody mist rained down across the sky.

Then Saitama bent his knees and leaped back into the clouds.

Inside D City, Midnight Watch, sitting on a bus with her hood up, was also pale-faced. Her hands trembled nonstop as all kinds of profanity spilled uncontrollably from her mouth.

"Shit! What the hell did someone do…"

"I really can’t stay in this world anymore. I need to find that Mercenary Tao guy and prepare to evacuate."

"Bastard, damn it… But Tang Sanzang is dead after all. My hunting plan… went fairly smoothly… right?"

Li Qingzi, who had just flown out of D City, changed expression. Within the perception of her Observation Haki, Tang Sanzang’s presence vanished in an instant, followed by the disappearance of that team’s auras.

Thinking of something, she immediately dropped to the ground, plunged into the woods, and raced back toward D City.

Of the people in this world capable of instantly killing Tang Sanzang, the vast majority would not go on a killing spree in the city. Hiding in the city was the safest option!

You killed Special Creature: Spirit World Evil Lord

You obtained A-rank Anomaly Point ×1

You obtained control of Special Construct: Artificial Divine Kingdom: Spirit World Revelation. If you occupy it for over 24 hours, you will gain ownership.

You obtained Drop Card: Spirit World Evil Lord (Red)

Bai Cangshu watched as Shōnen slowly vanished from his arm. All that remained in his hand was a Drop Card glowing with red radiance.

This red was completely different from the scarlet of Scarlet Drop Cards obtained after killing reincarnators. It carried a peculiar luster.

Simply holding this Drop Card allowed him to feel that special power capable of ruling the Spirit World.

Bai Cangshu remained where he was, motionless. His spirit body gradually stabilized amid its constant swaying.

No joy appeared on Bai Cangshu’s face. On the contrary, an unusual anger and irritation rose from within him.

Like a flame, it kept burning brighter.

"Why…"

"Why?"

Within the continuously collapsing divine kingdom around him, those hundreds of thousands of spirits were still questioning him like crashing mountains and roaring seas. Their shrill cries only intensified Bai Cangshu’s anger.

Bai Cangshu’s values were completely different from Shigeo Kageyama’s.

He did not agree with Shigeo Kageyama’s "divine" approach. Why should such a powerful psychic bear the burden of these weak spirits and fight for them?

He had created a divine kingdom, restricting his own power so that these weak, worthless spirits could find peace.

In the end, the strong had fallen, while these spirits still stirred restlessly without the slightest gratitude.

"Shut up!"

Bai Cangshu’s furious shout had no effect. The surrounding spirit bodies seemed to sense that the master of the Spirit World had fallen and began struggling outward in agitation.

The enormous broccoli began completely crumbling apart, piece after piece falling downward.

The irritation in Bai Cangshu’s heart finally turned into pure malice and erupted completely.

Black ripples burst forth from the surface of his soul body.

"You weak pieces of trash, I said… shut up!"

Boom!

A wave like Conqueror’s Haki swept through the collapsing divine kingdom. Then Bai Cangshu spread his hands, and powerful gravitational force erupted from within him.

"Divine kingdom? Peace?"

"You trash will struggle forever in my cage!"

Yin Spirit Possession!

An unprecedented trait erupted. Perhaps because Bai Cangshu was currently in spirit form as well, or perhaps due to the enhancement of those three Golden Soul Fragments, his Soul Power was incomparably powerful.

In a single instant, the hundreds of spirits closest to him turned into black shadows and entered his spirit body.

Then came those farther away, until that pulling force swept across the entire divine kingdom.

From afar, countless black spirits surged toward Bai Cangshu like a tide.

You absorbed a weak spirit

Energy Attribute +1, current: ?

You absorbed a powerful spirit

Energy Attribute +1, current: ?

You absorbed...

Like a gluttonous beast, Bai Cangshu devoured the spirits slumbering within the divine kingdom.

"Sorry, Kageyama. I’m not a Savior."

"But… I’ll give you an answer, probably…"

Bai Cangshu stood within the Spirit World, absorbing spirit bodies in a near-mad frenzy.
