Saint Killer

"Get to the Philippine border! They say Great Sun of Finality has stopped Mercenary Tao!"

"Latest news: Mercenary Tao’s mental state is abnormal. He’s suspected of being eroded by the Mad King’s authority. Great Sun of Finality and The Heaven are confronting each other…"

"East Xia’s official organizations have entered the scene as well."

"The World United Organization has already sent people over…"

Because Reincarnators had public spaces with unique time flows, the speed of information exchange and intelligence transmission far surpassed that of ordinary people.

The mobility of Reincarnators during large gatherings was also superior to that of ordinary people.

Thus, in less than half an hour, a considerable number of Reincarnators had already gathered along the Philippine border coast.

Various lights of energy swayed through the night.

Reincarnators who had once feared surveillance cameras and using their abilities in public were rapidly gaining the world’s public authority as Ability Users.

The poor residents of the Philippines feared these people as if they were tigers, finding them far more dangerous than the gangsters who had once sold drugs.

Moreover, the powerful Ability Users who had once suppressed the country’s various gangs and police were now cowering nearby, not daring to step forward at all. This only made the watching ordinary people even more terrified.

Only some daring young people gathered their courage to record everything before them on their phones and upload it online.

By the time Song Xian and the other two arrived, this incident had already become a global public safety crisis.

Zhong Tianming directly told the three of them that they had to use every possible means to ensure Mercenary Tao was not taken by other factions. If they could not seize him themselves, they were to find a way to kill him or restore his consciousness.

The order left bitter expressions on all three faces.

Chu Qi looked at Great Sun of Finality standing silently aboard the Black Pearl. He rested a hand on the long sword at his waist, then finally laughed mockingly. "Is Old Zhong thinking too highly of us? Haha, leaving aside whether we have the strength to kill Cang Shu, wouldn’t snatching someone in front of all these top Reincarnators make us everyone’s target?"

Besides the crowned one standing alone aboard the Black Pearl, nearly ten top Reincarnators had gathered below. There were already more than dozens of High-tier Reincarnators, and Title-level Reincarnators were still continuously arriving.

Because of the World United Organization, and because Reincarnators had discovered that using their abilities in the real world would no longer violate confidentiality rules and get them erased, most Reincarnators had begun revealing their identities in reality and claiming resources and power.

The number of Reincarnators was naturally tiny compared to ordinary people, but High-tier Reincarnators possessed exceptional mobility and could assemble quickly.

Basically, Reincarnators from nearby countries could find ways to arrive in a short time.

"A Single Thought of Silk, why keep pretending to be a loyal dog? Of everyone here, no one wants this guy dead more than you do."

Someone shouted from the darkness, their voice constantly shifting positions. Mahakala merely glanced over and paid no further attention.

He lightly tapped his arm, his gaze fixed on Mercenary Tao, whose eyes remained closed as he continuously muttered to himself. He was calculating Mercenary Tao’s current condition.

Any ability capable of reducing an expert like Mercenary Tao to this state had to be terrifyingly high-level. In Mahakala’s mind, the Mad King’s true strength rose another notch.

Perhaps that fellow who had not yet had the chance to act in the space’s new round of title competition truly was a terrifying Reincarnator capable of taking the Crown of Supremacy.

Generally speaking, abilities capable of affecting Mercenary Tao’s mental state were either from a high-level tier or authorities, perhaps even… Heart Light Pulse!

After being affected by such an ability, most people could not recover on their own unless they spent enormous resources with the Goddess.

Mahakala’s heartbeat quickened slightly. Perhaps this really was the best opportunity to kill Mercenary Tao?!

Ice behind him clearly thought the same. He leaned forward, Freezing Qi pouring unreservedly toward Mercenary Tao.

In terms of compatibility with and mastery over freezing authorities alone, Ice was stronger than the Snow Witch from the Far East Magic Society. Of course, he was somewhat lacking in ability diversity.

A Single Thought of Silk instinctively glanced at Mercenary Tao and saw that he had not reacted at all to the person in the darkness’s "provocation." She relaxed slightly, but another thought also arose in her heart.

If possible, she naturally wanted to regain her freedom, but…

Mercenary Tao’s consistent displays had become like an unscalable wall in A Single Thought of Silk’s mind. After being captured by Mercenary Tao, she had learned more than Mahakala and Su Qingqiu. Therefore, she understood even better that Mercenary Tao’s true strength far exceeded what he had shown when the three had besieged him that day.

Before A Single Thought of Silk could answer, the person in the darkness continued.

"Death Sword is scared? That’s fine. As long as you step aside, plenty of people here are willing to act. Mahakala, Su Qingqiu, Su Enfei, Shiva of White Elephant, Augustus of White Elephant…"

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out from the darkness. The next instant, the pitch-black void seemed to twist, and a figure stumbled down from the sky.

That patch of dark void vanished with it, revealing bright moonlight. The person wore a black cloak, with purple and red strands mixed into long black hair. Their face was alluring, their gender impossible to distinguish.

"Critical Sniping? Instead of killing Mercenary Tao, you attacked me first?!"

Abyssal Shadow · Bevani’s voice suddenly rose, traveling far through the night air without sounding harsh to the nearby Reincarnators.

She herself was a top Reincarnator skilled at fighting in darkness. It was said that in the dark, her overall combat power would receive an enormous boost. She was a Supernatural Ability User with special enhancements.

"Bevani, don’t think I don’t know that you’ve already made a deal with certain people. You want to start another melee here so that East District’s high-level Reincarnators will suffer another large-scale fall."

Amid heavy footsteps, several Reincarnators wearing special drivers at their waists arrived from behind.

When Song Xian’s group of three saw that the newcomers were members of Knights & Knights, their leader being Reiwa Knight · Jiaqi, they recognized them as widely acknowledged idealists. In the real world, they were probably, aside from Azure Sky, the High-tier gathering most directly aligned with order.

There were five of them. Two had Kamen Rider enhancements, while the other three likely possessed other types of knight enhancements.

Only the person walking at the very back kept his head lowered, dark blue hellfire continuously burning over his body.

Wei Yixiao’s expression was twisted, his chest heaving. If anyone present wanted Mercenary Tao dead most desperately, he was undoubtedly one of them.

But remembering what had happened on Neon Island, if a melee erupted here, there might once again be a horrifying casualty count of hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions.

The man codenamed Critical Sniping stood atop a Green Demon Skateboard dozens of kilometers away, using his stand-in to sense the island’s situation from afar.

His crosshairs unconsciously swept across Mercenary Tao, but although he had recently gained quite a few enhancements, he still had no confidence that he could kill Mercenary Tao.

More and more high-level Reincarnators were gathering on the island. This situation was dangerous…

Just one reckless attack could lead to a terrible disaster. Although Critical Sniping had accepted employment from Knights & Knights and was responsible for keeping watch, he was not confident either.

Suddenly, his newly acquired supernatural ability, Sixth Sense, activated. His heart jolted, and he immediately fired.

After the bullet abruptly struck his own stand-in, Untouchable, its speed and power were instantly amplified by its traits.

Bang!

The earth’s crust beneath Bai Cangshu suddenly shook. The next moment, amid surging subterranean fire, a spinning bullet pierced through the earth’s core and shot out from nowhere.

Critical Sniping’s bullet arrived at that precise moment, striking the bullet as it emerged.

As the electromagnetic force of the Gauss Rifle exploded, the bullet’s trajectory was only deflected slightly before it pierced into Mercenary Tao’s lower jaw with a pop and flew out through the top of his head.

Pfft!

Amid spraying blood, Mercenary Tao slowly fell backward.

Everyone present froze, and Great Sun of Finality’s expression changed as well.

"Saint Killer?!"
