The King of Myanmar and Triple Ransom

An Zhiyuan stood beside Mercenary Tao, the lazy helplessness gradually fading from his expression.

A black-and-white crown appeared above his head, and only now did its powerful presence begin to reveal itself.

Bai Cangshu also recalled the source of that familiar feeling. Not long after entering the Infinite Dimensional Space, he had seen this man at a stall in the Slum Area.

Since the man had been lying on the stall asleep, Bai Cangshu had concluded that he must be an advanced Reincarnator.

Later, he learned from other Information Brokers that the man was likely the best diviner in the Slum Area. Thus, when he had been hunting Vincent, he had tried to ask the man for a divination, only to be refused.

Who would have thought that guy he had met back then was actually a Supreme Expert?!

Interesting.

Bai Cangshu grew increasingly curious about his miraculous "Strong Luck," then shifted his gaze to the last man to appear.

Chestnut hair was slicked back over his head. He had a well-proportioned build and stood around six feet tall. No aura emanated from him, yet simply standing there, he seemed to occupy the center of everyone’s vision.

The seams of his white fitted outfit were decorated with black stripes.

Such a distinctive outfit undoubtedly meant that this newcomer had a close connection to the Throne of Illusion and Reality. Considering the strength and identities of those who had appeared here—

Bai Cangshu could practically confirm that this man was the rumored king of the Throne of Illusion and Reality.

He commanded over a thousand elite-ranked and above Reincarnators across the four major districts of the Infinite Dimensional Space, standing at the peak of the current Infinite Generation.

This man’s attire, demeanor, and bearing also gave Bai Cangshu a powerful sense of déjà vu.

Aizen Sōsuke.

A top-tier villain from the Bleach World, possessing outstanding strength and intellect.

But Bai Cangshu could not tell whether this was a powerful Reincarnator using an Avatar for "cosplay," or a Plot Character who had been brought out of his world.

Having encountered something like the Black King Society, Bai Cangshu had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Plot Characters could enter the Infinite Dimensional Space—or even go further and enter the real world.

"Of course, we intend to place Mercenary Tao under a real-world supervision contract."

Wild and indifferent, Cao Qi flicked his hand, igniting a white cigarette. He took it in with a single drag, then snapped his fingers.

The cigarette butt spun through the air with a sharp whistle. It struck the space before Aizen, where blue-white light flashed, knocking it away. With a bang, it crashed into the ground.

Bai Cangshu clearly felt a violent tremor rise from beneath the ground, as though an earth dragon were rolling below.

He raised his foot and stomped down as well.

Buzz!

Terrifying force transformed into concealed power, colliding with that earth dragon in an instant.

Boom!

The ground exploded, dust and smoke scattering in every direction.

Bai Cangshu felt a powerful recoil rush toward him. His body trembled slightly, and the air behind him shattered with a bang into white fragments that filled the sky.

This force… was powerful—far more powerful than he had imagined!

Clap, clap, clap…

The man who seemed to be Aizen applauded, the clapping reaching every person’s ears with perfect clarity.

"Excellent control of force. Perfect Force Dissipation technique. Mercenary Tao, you have already stepped onto the true path of martial arts~"

The man’s voice was extraordinarily mature and resonant, even carrying a strange charm that made it pleasing to hear and caused others to unconsciously agree with his views.

This was not a supernatural ability. It was merely an innate trait.

Just like Bai Cangshu’s face—many female Plot Characters and Reincarnators would naturally place greater trust in him.

Cao Qi looked at Mercenary Tao, who truly seemed as uncontrollable as a wild beast. He said nothing, merely walking over to Aizen in his slippers.

They were nearly the same height. One wore a white fitted outfit and possessed an otherworldly air, while the other radiated wild, uninhibited arrogance.

"You crossed the line."

His tone was calm, but An Zhiyuan could tell that his old friend was truly angry.

And his opponent was not the sort to put on airs. When he got angry, he acted out—and usually did not care much about the consequences…

An Zhiyuan frowned and reached out, preparing to perform Causal Rotation once again.

But Aizen raised his hand.

"There is no need to trouble yourself, Mr. An Zhiyuan. I did not come here to fight this madman."

He took two steps back, seemingly choosing to retreat voluntarily from his confrontation with Cao Qi. Yet he remained utterly composed, faintly controlling the rhythm of the entire scene.

"I came only to witness whether the King of Miracles’ King of the Present World governs fairly."

"And besides…"

Aizen turned to Cao Qi, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

"You were the one who crossed the line first."

As he spoke, Aizen turned to look somewhere. Bai Cangshu turned at the same time, but he could see nothing.

Cao Qi fell silent for a moment before suddenly turning toward Great Sun of Finality.

"You violated our agreement. As a Supreme Expert, you took the initiative to use an ability on another Reincarnator in the real world."

Great Sun of Finality, Tan Zhishan, frowned but said nothing, because before Mercenary Tao had attacked him, he had indeed placed a Binding Vow on Mercenary Tao.

Even if it had not been an offensive ability, if Cao Qi insisted on pursuing the matter, then he had indeed violated the contract.

"As compensation, I want you to pay three times the price required to redeem Mahakala’s life."

Cao Qi then looked at Bai Cangshu.

"Will you accept this as compensation for the losses you suffered from being attacked by a Supreme Expert?"

Bai Cangshu covered one eye. In the other, countless glimmers flowed as he stared blankly at Cao Qi.

"That was… magic…"

He had glimpsed a trace of the foundation of this Reincarnator, who seemed even stronger than a Supreme Expert.

It too came from the Swirl of the Root in the Type-Moon World—an unknown magic!

Cao Qi’s eyes widened slightly before he calmly looked toward Aizen.

Even now, he was still crazily absorbing every ounce of power, regardless of the price of his body nearing collapse.

This beast of Greed was the person you chose?!

Aizen stood diagonally behind Mercenary Tao. The corner of his mouth curled slightly, and the smile in his eyes was plainly visible.

He was different from those other two.

Precisely because he understood souls best, he knew that an individual completely restrained and planned out had no value whatsoever.

The Human Race had to continuously surpass the settings imposed by their creator and continuously overcome the bindings of fate to achieve those incredible things.

That was the meaning of the Human Race’s existence.

Otherwise, if all they did was pray for power, pray for righteousness and laws, why not seek out the God Species, Dragon Species, or even Star Spirits?

Aizen tilted his head slightly upward, the pride in his eyes impossible for anyone to discern.

Even though they could now share the throne in the heavens with him, those two still failed to understand this truth.

Seeing Cao Qi yield and no longer insist on placing Mercenary Tao directly under that contract, he turned and walked toward the sky.

As his figure swayed, a spinning card appeared at his fingertips.

The back of the card was silver, bearing the clear word "Infinite." Under the refracted sunlight, countless intricate patterns flowed across it.

Yet the other side of the card was completely blank.

It was a blank card, a card that had already been used. Though he had not known what had been on its face before, Aizen now vaguely guessed what kind of card he had chosen.

"Heh, I won."

Bai Cangshu merely watched this legendary member of The Three Supreme Kings calmly. Even Supreme Experts had to abide by his contract.

He grinned, revealing a greedy smile. It was not greed for the so-called triple ransom, but greed for the power of The Three Supreme Kings.

"Mercenary Tao, from this day onward, this region is yours. You may hunt any Reincarnator who enters Myanmar at will. However, you will be forbidden from using abilities with destructive power above Fierce-tier in any other country."

An Zhiyuan added from behind Mercenary Tao.

They acknowledged Mercenary Tao’s strength. At the same time, like with other overly powerful Reincarnators, they intended to confine him to a certain region.

An Zhiyuan looked toward his old friend, who was gazing westward in a daze.

Old Cao, old Cao… live a little longer. There are already too many Ferocious Beasts in this world…

An Zhiyuan could barely imagine what kind of state these unleashed Ferocious Beasts would tear the world into when Cao Qi died one day.

"Big news! Great Sun of Finality led the Kill Bai Alliance, formed jointly with Paradise of the Dead and Blackwater, in besieging Mercenary Tao at Myanmar Paradise!"

"The incident caused over two thousand injuries and deaths, with more than ten Title-level and above High-tier Reincarnators killed!"

"The incident ended in Mercenary Tao’s overwhelming victory!"

The East District of the Infinite Dimensional Space was in an uproar.
