Revive, Satoru Gojo!

The aura of All the World’s Evil was like a rich wine fragrance seeping into the world. For these dead spirits who had lost their lives, there was nothing more wondrous in the world.

Proud as Uchiha Madara and unruly as White Face, their expressions changed as they involuntarily looked toward Bai Cangshu, who sat in the abandoned building in a state more bedraggled than ever before.

The master of the Throne of the Heart was absolutely not in good condition at this moment. Some of the cursed spirits even instinctively began to emit cursed energy, letting out low cries.

Perhaps—just perhaps—if so many powerful dead spirits rushed him all at once, would they have a chance to seize control of that body…

If they could control that body, wouldn’t they have as many chances at resurrection as they wanted?!

The darker the emotions, the more they stimulated the growth of cursed energy. The more unbearable the torment, the more it stimulated the emergence of resentment.

Bai Cangshu breathed heavily. He felt that the pure malice radiating from these dead spirits was like ice cream on a summer day, greatly easing the agony and torment of millions of people in New York.

He even truly smiled, mockingly thinking to himself whether he really was the heartless beast those people spoke of, to relish such emotions so much.

With malicious amusement, Bai Cangshu raised his hand and waved the Black Mud dripping from his fingertips before each of his "generals."

Artoria stood at Bai Cangshu’s right, leaning on her sword. She had already been resurrected, and she had become increasingly convinced that Bai Cangshu’s cruelty and resolve were necessities on her path to becoming a tyrant. Thus, she remained unmoved, merely scrutinizing the attitudes of the other spirits with dignity;

Black Face stood at Bai Cangshu’s left, one hand hovering over the long, narrow white katana at his waist. His Spiritual Pressure was terrifying, and due to his divinity, he naturally suppressed other spirits. He showed no desire for resurrection either, maintaining a posture ready to suppress the other spirits at any moment.

White Face gritted her teeth in resentment at the sight. She had indeed just been considering whether she could incite Satoru Gojo and Uchiha Madara to attack together, but with Black Face and Artoria acting as those two "lackeys," their odds of victory were already low, and besides…

Though White Face did not want to admit it, after being overturned twice while opposing Mercenary Tao, she had begun to believe what the Sage had told her before. Mercenary Tao was also someone favored by Destiny, and she… was restrained by him.

Her expression changed several times before she reluctantly forced a smile. Her fangs at the corners of her mouth were particularly noticeable as she took a tube of golden serum from the mouth of Possessed Spirit: Kamikaze and respectfully handed it to Mercenary Tao.

"Mercenary Tao… sir, this is the serum Satoru Gojo and I found in a secret base of the Sentinel Program. It should be extremely valuable. Even if it cannot grant the Sentry’s power, its quality should not be lower than red…"

With a single-handed gesture from Bai Cangshu, a subtle force swept the serum into his hand.

You have obtained the item: Golden Sentinel Serum (World's Rare Treasure)
Golden Sentinel Serum
Quality: World's Rare Treasure
Description: A product of the Sentinel Program, a miracle bestowed by a great existence
Effect 1: Submit this item to the space to obtain A-rank Anomaly Point ×2 and 30,000 Dimensional Points
Effect 2: Use this item directly. Unforeseeable consequences will occur according to the reincarnator's compatibility
(Including but not limited to: attribute enhancement, unknown bloodline, existential collapse, genetic damage, death, etc.)

Bai Cangshu was not particularly surprised upon seeing the description. In fact, when White Face had first suggested searching for the Golden Sentinel Serum, he had already guessed the outcome.

Though the Sentry’s emergence seemed to have been caused by drinking this serum, it had actually merely been an accidental event. Or rather, the serum had only caused Bob—Robert Reynolds—to change, ultimately opening a door within his body that led to a single universe.

Thus, he had obtained power equivalent to a million stellar explosions from beyond that door.

But the source of that power was not within this serum.

In truth, with the current technological level of the Marvel World, it was still far from possible to artificially cultivate power on the Sentry’s level.

The serum was merely a catalyst. Bob himself was the one granted potential by that great existence.

The moment Bai Cangshu saw the serum’s first effect, he knew that this was probably a prompt from the Infinite Dimensional Space. The serum’s greatest purpose was actually to allow the space to digest this special information. As the catalyst, it connected to a timeline where such a powerful existence had emerged.

He put away the serum and nodded.

"Not bad. You did very well, White Face."

White Face maintained her fake smile as she stepped aside. She also understood the value of the serum.

Then Uchiha Madara tossed over a person.

"This guy has the technology you want in his head."

With a light wave of Bai Cangshu’s hand, the man changed direction before even hitting the ground and flew toward White Face. White Face could only catch this mess, understanding that the grunt work of extracting technological information still had to be done by her.

Still, she felt that this scene meant Mercenary Tao was increasingly "using" her. That meant she had value!

The corners of Bai Cangshu’s mouth curled upward. He also empathically sensed that flicker in White Face’s heart. As expected, even someone as dark as White Face could still derive such pleasure from something so trivial…

Bai Cangshu felt jealousy rising within him. He had always been a greedy person, and now that he discovered he lacked so much, the Solitary Jealousy Flame nearly blazed fiercely.

Namikaze Minato spread his hands somewhat awkwardly before consciously walking aside. He did not know whether the intelligence had been wrong or what, but he had waited there for some time. Until New York began to collapse, he had not seen the New York Sanctum appear.

He had even less of a chance to sneak inside and steal anything.

However, Namikaze Minato had always been the most indifferent toward resurrection among them. He had died protecting his family and village, and after learning from Millennium Worm how the story would unfold, he had few regrets.

Bai Cangshu had little feeling for someone as upright as Namikaze Minato. His gaze finally fell upon a youth.

Peter Parker, the young Spider-Man…

If killed, he was someone who would likely yield no fewer than A-rank Anomaly Points. And if not for his youth and lack of power, he might even have risen to an S-rank focal character.

In other words, he was an Important Plot Character who could be considered a Child of the World.

Black Face spoke at this moment.

"A trace of special divine power did indeed appear on him…"

Bai Cangshu did not pay much attention to the Spider Totem. This was also intelligence White Face had brought up. Supposedly, it was a special mission that would appear for Spider-Man in certain timelines.

Bai Cangshu had already encountered enough things in this world. At present, his attention was focused more on the absurd thirteenth-tier ladder of Binary Paradox and the impending Primordial Dragon Court.

"White Face, if you can truly uncover the Spider Totem mission line from him, I will give you a chance at resurrection…"

White Face froze at those words, then uncontrollable ecstasy surged within her.

She asked herself that if it were her, she would absolutely never give Mercenary Tao any chance at resurrection, but…

White Face raised her head and looked at Mercenary Tao, seated in the abandoned building and surrounded by a host of powerful spirits. He somehow carried the bearing of one seated upon a throne, and a peculiar feeling truly arose within her.

Even if this guy was a beast, even if he was a heartless monster, there was no doubt that he was among the best of beasts and monsters. He was someone who truly possessed that kind of aura!

White Face had always looked down on historical records and stories that embellished successful people with all sorts of heroic qualities, but at this moment, she truly felt an emotion that stung slightly.

It was the disparity that had emerged within her own heart—the gap in capacity between herself and the one called Mercenary Tao.

"Hmph, you’d better not regret it~"

White Face’s tone became spirited. Azure Flames burned behind her, and even her Possessed Spirit seemed to have grown stronger once again.

With the hope of resurrection, that rising spirit and motivation from within felt extremely novel to Bai Cangshu.

Humans really were interesting…

But then, he felt wasteful over this race. Even with such interesting hearts, they were still so weak…

"Next, in this incident…"

"Satoru Gojo, Millennium Worm, you actively joined the battle and forced Solomon to reveal the Automatic Record Cursed Technique. You have rendered meritorious service!"

Millennium Worm could not hear the words, but because he had been intently watching Mercenary Tao’s expressions, when the other man turned toward him and Satoru Gojo, his heart began pounding at the movement of those lips.

He was certain he had not misread it. Mercenary Tao… was going to resurrect him!

Satoru Gojo did not look as happy as expected. He stood up, and the chaotic cursed energy around his body gradually gathered.

"Ha~ You clearly look like you have other motives!"

He spread his arms. As perhaps the dead spirit who understood this host best, he did not believe that he would be resurrected simply because he had rendered meritorious service.

That did not fit this person’s character.

Just like the first resurrection before: he had clearly said that all the spirits would fight one another, but when Black Face killed most of the spirits with a single slash, he directly resurrected that knight lady.

Satoru Gojo had already seen it clearly. If this host wanted to resurrect him now, he had probably discovered something else he could use him for.

But…

"Come on, then. Let me be used by you once more. After all… we’re kindred spirits, aren’t we~"

Satoru Gojo put on a ready-to-offer-himself expression, but his white hair nearly stood on end, and scarlet chains were emerging behind him. Clearly, he was not as indifferent as he pretended to be.

Bai Cangshu’s lips also curled upward.

Ha~

Looking at Satoru Gojo, this special being somewhere between an ordinary human and a nonhuman, and sensing the strange feeling in his heart, Bai Cangshu felt even more certain that he had made the right decision.
