Shadow Legion (Pseudo)
You lost Item: Golden Sentinel SerumYou obtained A-rank Anomaly Point ×2, Dimensional Points ×30,000You used Item: All the World's EvilYou lost A-rank Anomaly Point ×1. You lost Dimensional Points ×35,000Bai Cangshu did not hesitate for long before handing over the tube of serum, whose quality had been "inflated," found by White Face and Satoru Gojo to the space in exchange for rewards.
Although the Singularity obtained from killing Thanos was enough to cover the cost, he was certain that this serum could not possibly give him or any other Reincarnator the power of a million exploding stars.
The so-called World’s Rare Treasure quality, like those two tubes of Dragon King’s Blood Marrow, merely came from having a connection to higher-tier power.
Black Mud fell from the sky, submerging Satoru Gojo.
The next moment, Satoru Gojo’s already wild and flamboyant face twisted even further. This "strongest," born as a concept meant to maintain the balance of the Jujutsu World, was ultimately Curse Killed by the outsider White Face in a way he could never have imagined.
Satoru Gojo had long accumulated much resentment and many curses within his heart;
What was more, after soaking in Yellow Springs and nearly becoming the King of Curses, he had already undergone a transformation toward becoming a cursed spirit. Although White Face had forcibly completed the Mount Tai Imperial Lord Ritual, and through the power of the Mount Tai Imperial Lord, Satoru Gojo had not transformed into the King of Curses, instead being contained directly by Bai Cangshu along with Yellow Springs.
But Satoru Gojo had already gained the potential to become a cursed spirit.
And what filled Satoru Gojo’s heart with even greater distortion was that he had learned of his ending from Millennium Worm—it was actually that unbearable sight.
Sorry I couldn’t let Lord Sukuna have his fill…
Just having that scene appear in his mind was enough to make Satoru Gojo nearly twist apart on the spot.
His eyelids drooped as the familiar texture of flesh was gradually reshaped within the Black Mud, accompanied by an irrepressible feeling of corruption.
He could sense that the most hidden negative emotions in his heart had all been stirred up.
Whether it was his disgust toward the ordinary people of his original world, who lacked power yet possessed boundless greed; his contempt for the corruption of those so-called Jujutsu World higher-ups; or toward himself… his own incompetence in seeing himself as the strongest in the world, only to fail to protect anyone in the end…
Disgust. Utter disgust!
As his body revived, Satoru Gojo’s white hair seemed to grow a little longer. The black markings on his face also became narrower and more elongated, extending from beneath his eyes to behind both ears like fine chains, or like pairs of closed eyes.
Satoru Gojo opened his eyes. The moment his blue-white Six Eyes reappeared, all cursed energy was smoothed out. The cursed energy that had swelled ever larger after being stirred by negative emotions was gradually tamed around Satoru Gojo’s body under the Six Eyes’ control.
His eyelids were stretched wide open. His whole being seemed split apart by the joy of revival and the Evil Intent stirred from his heart, leaving his expression exceedingly exaggerated.
Satoru Gojo fully opened the vision of his Six Eyes. In this novel world, he could see those "monkeys" huddling together for warmth in the wake of the terrifying disaster that had just passed.
Satoru Gojo flicked a finger, almost instinctively about to release his technique, but quickly restrained himself.
The curve of Bai Cangshu’s lips was just as exaggerated. He sensed the heart of this special individual, who had been born as a "superhuman," forcibly binding himself with a view of good and evil, gradually twisting and changing under the effects of All the World’s Evil.
It was like watching the most exquisite artistic performance.
Just as he had witnessed Artoria’s transformation back then.
Satoru Gojo possessed extremely strong self-control. He quickly reined in his killing intent and Evil Intent toward those weaklings, revealing the exact same smile he had worn before his revival.
"Yo, Host-kun. Satoru Gojo has arrived~!"
Satoru Gojo was tall and slender. This absurd pose should have looked ridiculous when he raised a hand, but at that moment, neither the others nor the spirit shades found it funny.
Because the killing intent Satoru Gojo had just emitted had been sensed clearly by every one of these people, all of whom could be considered quite formidable.
It had been a terrifying Evil Intent that seemed determined to kill everyone else.
Only Bai Cangshu understood clearly that Satoru Gojo, who had originally upheld the belief that the strong should protect the weak, had had his ideals twisted by All the World’s Evil under the influence of a series of events.
He no longer recognized the value of the weak, nor did he naturally consider himself strong.
Only those who displayed goodness amid absolute Evil Intent were worthy of salvation and protection; likewise, only those who slew absolute powerful foes could be called strong.
His smile was mocking. Calling himself the strongest and then getting cut down in a single strike—wasn’t that far too clownish…?
Uchiha Madara paid no attention to such matters. His Sharingan turned as he merely sensed that the aura of this frivolous silver-haired man had grown much stronger.
He vaguely sensed that the other party was also the type to gain power through extreme emotions. In a sense, that was very much in keeping with the "Uchiha style."
Bai Cangshu then casually poured Black Mud over Millennium Worm, allowing the spirit shade of the first Reincarnator he had absorbed to revive.
Millennium Worm greedily gulped in air. Every breath was almost precious nourishment to him, but he quickly calmed down and began to realize a problem.
"Although I’ve revived, I no longer have the Reincarnator panel, and I’ve also lost my Ajin bloodline…"
Millennium Worm felt the Chakra and cursed energy within his body. Having lost his Ajin bloodline, his combat power had been greatly reduced. At the same time, having lost his status as a Reincarnator, he would most likely… be unable to act freely.
The next moment, when he looked toward Mercenary Tao, he instinctively felt fear and submission rise within his heart.
"So this is the control effect of the Black Mud…"
The ecstatic joy of revival began to fade. Millennium Worm looked at Mercenary Tao, who had not even glanced at him, lowered his head, and felt a twisted hatred arise within his heart.
He had finally gained a chance at revival, yet he was so powerless. Mercenary Tao probably had not even expected him to be of any use…
"No, of course you’re useful, Millennium Worm. Perhaps you don’t know it, but you’re even more useful than you imagine…"
Bai Cangshu paid no heed to Millennium Worm’s resentment just now and instead explained patiently.
Soon, a simple plan emerged, aimed at the members of the so-called Primordial Dragon Court who would descend here in three days.
Aside from White Face, who was obsessed with uncovering the Hidden Mission line of the Spider Totem in order to gain a chance at revival, every other spirit shade began receiving assignments.
Bai Cangshu began making heavy use of these spirit shades for once. This made Millennium Worm realize the danger, but he had little opportunity to resist.
As for Tree Herder, his brows were tightly furrowed. Although he had not been killed, after witnessing Mercenary Tao revive Millennium Worm and Satoru Gojo, he knew that he would most likely find it difficult to escape anytime soon.
And… he could sense that Mercenary Tao had likely been affected somehow by his battle with Superman, because the current Mercenary Tao was extremely abnormal!
Yet for the moment, he could not figure out exactly what was wrong.
As White Face lowered her head to examine Peter Parker and pondered how she could find clues to the Spider Totem, she inwardly sneered at Millennium Worm’s thoughts.
In a place like Infinite Dimension, since revival was possible, there would naturally be a way to obtain freedom.
Since Mercenary Tao had already proven himself to be mad enough to revive even his enemies, what remained was naturally to make Mercenary Tao realize that she was the most valuable spirit body!
White Face curled her lips, revealing her fangs. Once again, she recovered that arrogant mindset of looking down on everyone—though naturally, that did not include Mercenary Tao.
She looked down on people like Satoru Gojo and Uchiha Madara, who had only strength but no wit; she looked down on brainless idiots like Millennium Worm; she looked down on weaklings like Tree Herder, who had only petty cleverness…
Only she herself—well, perhaps that true ferocious beast, Mercenary Tao, also counted—was qualified to enjoy the thrills of Infinite Dimension!
White Face became more proactive than ever.
Bai Cangshu felt White Face’s surging emotions and wore an expression of utter delight, though all kinds of negative emotions were still continuously flowing through their shared senses.
The pain of losing family, the fear of grievous bodily injury, the panic after just experiencing a world-ending disaster…
Too many emotions made even Bai Cangshu’s Heart of the Thunder Emperor twitch. Only the constantly pulsing hearts of these special individuals allowed Bai Cangshu to feel that his situation was not yet too miserable.
At least… he was very close to that realm now, wasn’t he…?
The so-called Heart Light Pulse!
"Parker, do you want to do your part to save more people?"
Parker had long been unable to wait. Seeing Mr. Bai, the hero in his heart, speak, he nodded repeatedly, even yearning inwardly for Mr. Bai to grant him more power.
Bai Cangshu swept out a hand.
"These spirit shades… this Shadow Legion, I’ll lend them to you for now. You can lead them and save anyone in this city!"
Parker shouted excitedly. Bai Cangshu, meanwhile, propped up his cheek, narrowing his eyes as he watched the boy’s simple and pure heart beat without cease.
The vast black legion of spirit shades filed out of the abandoned building behind the boy. Bai Cangshu soon saw his reputation begin to rise.
He himself took out the spoils from the previous battle.
Two Drop Cards—one crimson, the other glowing with a ruby-like hue—respectively from Solomon and Thanos.
