Soul Judgment

On a massive island whose coordinates had been completely erased, all manner of fantastical buildings had been forcibly molded into existence with Shaping Magic. The technological level here far surpassed that of the modern world.

Hovercars, aerospace transport, and all kinds of ultra-modern technological equipment had been put to use in this empire of Reincarnators.

It was not that Reincarnators had mastered such technology. They simply wanted certain technological equipment, and with the Finality Empire’s financial resources, obtaining it was not particularly difficult.

The only issue was that without technological support, these devices were like water without a source. Once damaged, they had to be taken back to the space for repairs.

In the West District of the massive island, more than several dozen hectares of land had been enchanted with various spells, turning the soil fertile and suitable for the growth of nearly all vegetation.

A large number of craftsmen and farmers acquired from Asia had been arranged in this area. They were required to labor every day, supplying the Reincarnators of the Finality Empire with all kinds of food.

Within the Finality Empire, Reincarnators were the masters. These ordinary people were nothing more than servants.

In the tallest palace, the Great Sun of Finality sat upon the throne, while his followers occupied seats below him.

The Great Sun of Finality rested his chin on one hand, in a remarkably good mood.

Those below him were much the same. At the very end sat a female Reincarnator in a highly transparent gauze dress. She had a voluptuous figure and slightly dark skin, the typical look of a South Asian.

"Korea is Mercenary Tao’s territory, isn’t it? Ha, that lunatic really did something incredible!"

The woman was clearly overjoyed. As she spoke, her brows danced, and the flesh on her chest bounced incessantly. Unfortunately, the Reincarnators here had all at least crossed the Third Tier. They had long lost interest in beauty of that caliber.

They were accustomed to using the rather archaic, primitive term "territory" to describe places where Reincarnators operated.

In their view, Korea had most likely already been occupied by Mercenary Tao. Any Reincarnators who appeared there would either flee, submit to Mercenary Tao, or be killed.

That was their judgment, based on the fact that Mercenary Tao was, in many respects, the same kind of Reincarnator as them.

The others were clearly pleased by this as well.

"Your Majesty, perhaps before long, we will no longer need to worry about the threat of those cameras. When that time comes, haha… what Free Federation? What East Xia…"

The man speaking wore a monocle and a white trench coat. His face was refined, but his bearing was fierce and tyrannical. As he spoke, a madness he could barely suppress flickered in his expression.

"That’s right. So long as we are no longer restricted by the space’s confidentiality clauses, with technology at its current level, Your Majesty will be able to flatten any country!"

These High-tier Reincarnators had long since lost their fear of ordinary firearms. Even nuclear weapons had little effect on them after being weakened by large-scale barriers.

The Great Sun of Finality’s expression remained unchanged. He maintained his smile at just the right degree—not enough to make him seem carried away, but enough for his followers to sense his mood.

His gaze shifted as he noticed that everyone had gone a little too far, their arrogance making it seem as though they regarded no one as worthy of notice. He tapped the throne.

Tap, tap.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Have you forgotten that the lifting of these restrictions will not apply only to us? Those other Reincarnator gatherings will also gradually shift into the real world."

"If we cannot seize enough positions in the next Title Contest, then everything Mercenary Tao has done will be nothing but a fleeting illusion to us."

The Great Sun of Finality’s voice was low, like pebbles striking an iron plate. The smiles on everyone’s faces gradually faded.

Of the seven people here, aside from the two recent additions, the other five had followed the Great Sun of Finality for much longer. They had experienced that defeat alongside him.

The one known as Life of Silence had ruthlessly reduced their group of twelve to six. In that direct confrontation, fully half of their High-tier Reincarnators had been instantly killed.

Then, during the struggle for influence that lasted nearly a month, they had ultimately lost as well.

Sitting closest to the Great Sun of Finality was a youth who looked like a child. He wore yellow monk’s robes, with a red mark on his brow. His features were delicate and handsome, and a Black Great Sun burned behind him.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to make one final attempt?"

He acknowledged Mercenary Tao’s combat talent, and now he had seen that Mercenary Tao also possessed extraordinary planning in matters like this.

Thus, he proposed trying once more to recruit Mercenary Tao under His Majesty’s command.

He knew very well that the Great Sun of Finality was somewhat displeased over Tang Sanzang’s death.

The war between Reincarnators was a war for talent.

Reincarnators were short-lived, but they were also a species capable of rising at the fastest rate. A powerful Reincarnator might need only one month to transform from an ordinary person into a monster capable of breaking an army alone.

Thus, His Majesty was not merely speaking of the number of Title-level Reincarnators. He meant that they lacked enough fresh blood.

He had once brought Tang Sanzang with His Majesty into the inner gathering of the Throne of Illusion and Reality. That Reincarnator faction had left them stunned.

The Throne of Illusion and Reality took in promising Reincarnators from the four regions of east, west, south, and north, then trained them.

They possessed overwhelmingly powerful combat strength.

Once the Throne of Illusion and Reality also moved into the real world as a whole, it would be difficult to guarantee the Finality Empire’s advantage.

The Great Sun of Finality was also thinking. He did not understand why the people he had taken a liking to defied him time and again.

First, Heart Demon and Great Demon had refused his recruitment. Then Moon Demon had betrayed him. Mercenary Tao had directly killed Kalpa, the newcomer he had chosen, before rejecting his goodwill.

He did not understand what exactly set him apart from that one from the Throne of Illusion and Reality and that one from Azure Sky.

Why were the other side’s subordinates brimming with talent, while under his command there were so many mediocrities and so few gifted people?

"You can try."

The Great Sun of Finality said so, but then he suddenly remembered that Tang Sanzang had also died in the bizarre B711 World while Mercenary Tao had emerged unscathed. He withdrew the idea and said,

"Forget it. If you are thoroughly prepared, prioritize killing him instead. His growth rate really has been a little too fast."

The child nodded, his expression unchanged.

The others showed no surprise either.

Mercenary Tao might be powerful and difficult to kill in the eyes of ordinary Reincarnators, but to this group, who could borrow the power of the Great Sun of Finality—

There were basically no targets they could not kill.

The Great Sun of Finality was a Title born in the Mental Domain purely for slaughter and destruction. In terms of the destructive power of Title Abilities, the Great Sun of Finality was second to none!

"Yes. I will kill him for certain. I have already found someone who completely counters Mercenary Tao."

"Anyone whose sins reach the heavens will face the judgment of their soul."

TT65562877 (Black Butler) sent a message: Someone from the Throne of Illusion and Reality is looking for you. He says that in exchange for the Void Core in your possession, he can unlock Fullbring or Kamui for you.

Upon seeing this notification, Bai Cangshu finally perked up a little. He had come to begin the Villain Savior Title Contest, yet he had unexpectedly gained something extra.

Some of the things in his possession had been sitting around for too long, making them difficult to cash out. He intended to use this Void Core as soon as possible.

There was also that Devil Fruit. Bai Cangshu was considering whether to trade it away, but he had never received a particularly good offer.
