Take Mikazuchi

Card Number 003… a supreme special card rumored to be held by the Three Supreme Kings themselves, revealed its face and sequence at this moment.

God King Sequence…

An invisible vortex began to unfold behind Bai Cangshu, and the Limit Break Spiral activated as well.

Randy, struck by Conqueror’s Haki Infusion and unable to escape through Elementalization, trembled all over. He felt an incomparably vast and terrifying aura frantically battering his body through that arm.

His own Conqueror’s Haki was suppressed against the surface of his body almost instantly. Forget Conqueror’s Haki Infusion—even a Conqueror’s Haki shockwave could not take shape.

And that terrifying aura was still growing stronger.

Damn it, what level is this guy’s Conqueror’s Haki? Level 9? Or even higher?!

He had never seen a Reincarnator capable of unleashing such terrifying aura.

In the end, Reincarnators lacked the adventures and experiences of native powerhouses from the One Piece world. Without weathering so many changes upon the seas, without contending against countless heroes, how could they cultivate the aura to dominate the world?

The strength of Reincarnators’ Conqueror’s Haki lay in its "quantity." As long as they had sufficient resources, they could continuously improve and strengthen their Haki in the Goddess’s Abode.

But when facing true powerhouses of this world who had awakened Conqueror’s Haki through their own aura, they could always feel the hardness of the other side’s Haki, like a reef.

And at this very moment, Randy felt that the guy before him possessed Haki just like the Conqueror’s Haki of Four Emperor Shanks he had experienced in the worldline of that Demon King of Song.

It carried an aura he could not resist at all, as though it would swallow him whole.

"Aah!"

Randy finally opened his mouth, but what came out was a scream. He felt an immense force directly crush his foot. This meant his Elementalization had begun to unravel, yet the pain of a broken leg should not have made him lose control like this.

But he could clearly feel a force that terrified him beginning to flow through the arm gripping him!

The sound of rushing water made the image of the River Styx surging before his eyes appear for no reason.

Mercenary Tao!

This guy was Mercenary Tao!

At last, Randy recalled that name.

The newly risen monster of the East District, rumored to have grown from a complete novice into someone feared by the vast majority of top Reincarnators in the East District after merely half a cycle of deployment missions.

A rise as rapid as that woman from the West District, an unstoppable run of overwhelming fortune, and the ruthless slaughter of everyone who stood against him…

At this moment, countless rumors and pieces of intelligence all lined up.

Mercenary Tao was said to be a close-combat Reincarnator enhanced with Martial Artist abilities from the Dragon Ball World, while also possessing some powerful instant-death ability. As a Scarlet Great Sin Reincarnator with a confirmed identity, he had broken through attribute limits in multiple areas, a monster without a single weakness.

Randy considered his own strength no weaker than that of some Supreme Experts, yet at this moment, he still felt an indescribable terror.

Haki far surpassing his own in intensity, summoning abilities capable of calling forth an enhanced Satoru Gojo, an instant-death ability like the flow of the River Styx, and Martial Artist mastery from the Dragon Ball World that had already broken through into the "my own style" realm.

What terrified him even more was that Mercenary Tao had clearly activated some hidden ability. Those Mystic Eyes—after just one glance into them, he felt completely seen through. Even his Observation Haki, enhanced to Level 8, had lost its effect…

I am not his opponent. I am no match for this guy!

EX003 God King

Special Trial: Wrath of God

Power needs no explanation. I am authority. I am everything.

Trial Description: Hunt the complete authority of any divine lineage (Ranks 1–13)

Trial Rewards: Obtain Ranks 1–4 and unlock Special Sequence: God King;

Obtain Ranks 5–7 and unlock God King Authority;

Obtain Ranks 8–10 and unlock God King Form;

Obtain Ranks 11–13 and unlock Special Ability: Wrath of God (SSS)

An SSS-ranked ability!

Bai Cangshu had never seen anything like this before. Moreover… both the difficulty of this card’s trial and the enhancement it granted made him feel as though it did not belong to the same series of items as the other cards.

Even for a special card secretly kept by one of the Three Supreme Kings, this level of difficulty and power was truly absurd.

Compared to the Tarot Sequence’s known special privileges and the Destiny Sequence’s advantage of seizing certain Destinies and plotlines, the pure power represented by EX003 God King was far beyond the standard.

Even Scarlet Great Sin and Virtue Cards, two types of cards more closely related to combat power, could not compare to it at all.

Power. Pure power!

There were no other annotations or advantages. What this God King gave Bai Cangshu was the sense of absolute power representing one person crushing an entire divine lineage, and thereby gaining authority and might surpassing that divine lineage.

Thinking of the card’s original owner, Mad King, the color in Bai Cangshu’s pupils was nearly impossible to conceal. Radiance spilled from the corners of his eyes like stretched-out trails of light.

"Ha~ Hahaha… Mad King, Mad King. Something like this really is best suited for me!"

Whether it was a gift from the Three Kings’ struggle or a trap set by the King of Destiny, Bai Cangshu would not give up this card.

You have activated Special Trial: Wrath of God

Trial Progress: 0%

Notice: During the Special Trial, divine beings killed may have their authorities fully absorbed. However, absorbed authorities cannot be used until you cancel the absorption of that lineage.

A vast amount of information appeared in Bai Cangshu’s mind in an instant, was understood, and then cleared away.

It felt as though a long time had passed, but only an instant had gone by in the real world.

The light before Bai Cangshu’s eyes began to dissipate, and his bodily structure started becoming unstable. Unknown Law and the Limit Break Spiral had activated simultaneously, producing an effect similar to activating the Swirl of the Root. In this state, Bai Cangshu’s existence would suffer tremendous damage.

Moreover, Bai Cangshu could clearly feel that his genetic structure was rapidly destabilizing. Compared to activating the Limit Break Spiral alone, it was dozens of times faster.

In other words, in this state, his rate of collapsing into Primordial Soup would be dozens of times greater than when activating the Limit Break Spiral alone.

Crackle!

Extreme voltage surged through the air. Having sensed the threat of death and found begging ineffective, Randy began struggling hysterically.

At this moment, it was as if he had returned to his childhood, to that fallen slum where he could lose his life at any moment over a mouthful of food.

Begging was useless. Praying to gods was useless. Nothing could save him. The only thing he could rely on was his own madness!

Randy’s heartbeat spiked in an instant as massive currents flooded into him. Electric plasma and blood sprayed from his mouth and nose.

His eyes seemed about to burst from their sockets in his madness.

Thump, thump, thump!

In the sky, thunderclouds rolled downward and had already reached above the two of them. Underground, Satoru Gojo, suffering from being purified, began directly disintegrating the earth.

Across several kilometers, strange phenomena appeared at once: the ground collapsed and vanished into sinkholes, while cities rose into the air and became floating lands.

Rolling thunderclouds descended, beginning to blanket heaven and earth.

After Randy’s madness crossed a certain threshold, he suddenly felt the world become clear. A peculiar sensation arose, as though the entire world had fallen under his control.

He seemed able to fully sense every electric charge in the sky. With a thought, he could unleash lightning anywhere at any time.

He could even… if he wished, destroy everything around him indiscriminately!

Intense voltage radiated outward, and streams of electricity directly linked the stones, sand, and larger chunks of city that had flown into the sky.

Magnetism emerged with it.

"Heh, hehehe~ Hahaha!" Randy began to emerge from his terror. He realized that he had finally touched his essence, and even his Devil Fruit had begun to awaken.

He had crossed that boundary. He was no longer a Reincarnator wholly reliant on enhancements. In the words of that woman from the West District, he had become a true powerhouse!

"Mercenary Tao, I should thank you."

Lightning reappeared over his body, and his eyes turned completely blue-white. Randy flew upward, powerful repulsion granting him tremendous upward force.

His Conqueror’s Haki also grew stronger under this aura, spreading outward from his body.

"If it weren’t for you, it would probably have taken me much longer to become this powerful, this unmatch…"

Bang!

The ground shook violently. The underground Satoru Gojo seemed to fall silent for an instant. Amid the flying yellow sand, Randy shook his head. His Elementalization had not taken effect. He had crashed solidly into the ground.

A figure wrapped in golden aura and various blazing lights descended from the sky.

Randy met those eyes once more. He wanted to say something else, but a massive phantom appeared behind the other person, followed by the sound of the River Styx rushing forth.

Randy discovered that nothing had changed. Even though he had grown stronger, that cold, silent sensation still made him tremble.

He became enraged again and raised both hands. In an instant, all the lightning between heaven and earth was completely activated. He would directly destroy everything within a radius of over ten kilometers.

"Raigo!"

This was an ability that even Enel needed the Ark to assist him in releasing, yet he could now unleash it alone.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Thunder Dragons fell like rain. Bai Cangshu lowered his eyelids, utterly indifferent, and took a simple step forward. He clenched his right fist and swung it ahead.

In that instant, a rhythm beyond technique emerged. Randy felt everything in the world come to a halt, leaving only that fist, as vast as heaven and earth, to fill his entire mind.

He could not dodge it, could not use Elementalization, and even whether Observation Haki foresaw it or not would not change the outcome.

Normal Punch!

Bang!

A terrifying shockwave erupted after the Vacuum Wave. The Vacuum Wave instantly cleared the sky full of Thunder Dragons and continued onward, directly blasting apart Randy’s body above the knees.

The ensuing shockwave directly wiped out the city that had risen into the air, as well as the distant pyramids.

The clouds in the sky dispersed as well.

Bai Cangshu swung his arm. White smoke continuously evaporated along with the disintegration of his body’s existence, but he did not care in the slightest.

Special Reincarnator EX051, you have achieved victory.

You have obtained ownership of the Hidden Legendary Title: Take Mikazuchi.

You may equip and use this title during the current cycle.

Return will now begin.

A silver-white stream of information shot into the sky, and the underground Satoru Gojo was swept up and vanished into white light as well.

"Aah!"

Randy let out a terrified scream, startling the people in his Private Space before they hurried over.

It was rare for Lord Randy to react like this.

They had no intention of laughing at Randy. In fact, if even Lord Randy had reacted this way, then the enemy was almost certainly beyond anything they could hope to contend with.

"What happened, Lord Randy? Did you encounter that woman?!"

A brown-skinned woman whose body was wrapped in long white silk spoke.

But Randy merely touched his body with lingering fear.

That punch just now had been utterly terrifying, more frightening than any S-rank ability he had seen.

There had been no way to block it, nor could he even flee. It was as though some ability had held him in place.

He guessed it was some kind of aura, or the suppressive force carried by some powerful technique. Because he could not reach that level, he could not even run or evade.

He checked the battle panel.

"Normal Punch…"

It had actually been Normal Punch!

That Mercenary Tao…

The sensation of having been saved by the Space forcibly extending his life after he should have died was extremely strange. Randy found himself unable to calm his emotions for a while.

Only after a moment did he speak.

"Arrange for someone to make a trip to Paradise."

"Paradise?"

Although Randy had lost his chance to obtain the hidden dual-attribute title, the invitation for hidden titles was independent, so he immediately changed his focus.

On one hand, he immediately accepted the invitation to a certain unique title. On the other, he proactively had someone contact Paradise.

He had realized that the rumors about the newly emerged Mercenary Tao in the East District were not merely true—they were vastly insufficient.

That person was even stronger than the rumors claimed.

Next cycle, that guy was bound to stir up a storm.

That woman in the West District had already fully established herself, leaving him with no chance to join her. But Mercenary Tao was said to be someone without any taboos…

Take Mikazuchi

Type: Hidden; Legendary

Effect 1: After equipping it, gain the name Take Mikazuchi. In corresponding world settings, automatically gain corresponding fame and legend.

Effect 2: Gain complete lightning resistance. Energy attacks of the lightning attribute are completely negated. Authorities below Rank 7 cannot nullify this effect.

Effect 3: Pay a B-rank Anomaly Point and 8,000 Dimensional Points to transform into Take Mikazuchi once during each deployment interval, lasting 3 minutes.

Note: Take Mikazuchi possesses Rank 7 Authority: Control of Thunder. It is considered a divine species and divine lifeform, possessing divine power and a divine body; it receives corresponding bonuses and restrictions.

Bai Cangshu merely glanced at the title before looking away. This was a completely specialized transformation-type title.

It could be considered excellent immediate combat power. Anyone who acquired this title could switch to it when needed, pay the cost to transform into Take Mikazuchi for battle, then switch back to another title afterward.

What Bai Cangshu valued was precisely the divine body granted after transforming. It would greatly increase his endurance once more.

After all, for him, greater endurance meant destructive power multiplied several times over.

Special Reincarnator EX051, would you like to enter the competition for the Crown of Supremacy now?

Bai Cangshu looked at the invitation with a radiant smile, just as he had when he first accepted that Yes Or No choice.

"Yes."

At the same time, in countless Private Spaces and gathering spaces within the Infinite Dimensional Space, expressions varied among a group of the very strongest Reincarnators.

"Yes!"

"Accept!"

"Let’s begin!"

Streams of white information appeared, and figures vanished one after another.

In the name of supremacy, the battle… had begun!
