The Only Way to Survive, the Black King Society Reappears (Bonus Chapter)

Gilgamesh’s headless body fell from between Bai Cangshu’s left fingers. As a special race possessing what was effectively high-level immortality, the Eternals would revive even after death.

Bai Cangshu received no kill notification. These servants the Celestials had deliberately left behind to cultivate new members now acted like righteous champions, all revealing undisguised hostility toward Bai Cangshu.

Buzz~

The clash between the golden Ki Blast and Heat Vision did not last long. Almost instantly, Ikaris fearfully jerked his head aside, allowing the Dodon Ray to shoot past his ear and vanish into the sky.

Bai Cangshu flicked one hand in an instant, pointing at every Eternal, including Ikaris.

Golden Ki Blasts shot forth like beams of aurora.

Below, because Lu Chen had been forcibly stopped, the Chitauri Soldiers Thanos had brought escaped annihilation. This cold-blooded race armed with cutting-edge technology immediately swarmed toward the surviving humans.

Their mission was to follow Thanos and eradicate every living force until Thanos ordered them to stop.

Chaos erupted in an instant. Sersi, the Eternal clad in a green battle suit, was using molecular-level restructuring to try to repair the chunks of land Bai Cangshu had completely shattered and erased with a single punch.

The next moment, she was struck by dozens of energy beams.

The Eternals’ mission was to protect the rise and development of civilization, allowing the Celestials within the planet to be successfully nurtured.

The Celestials were among the highest-tier cosmic entities in the Marvel World, and could also be regarded as embodiments of abstract concepts.

These cosmic gods were nurtured within certain worlds, constantly absorbing the power of civilization until, once their gestation was complete, they underwent Emergence.

So-called Emergence was when these highest-tier cosmic entities burst out from the planets that had nurtured them as wombs.

The complete extinction of a planet’s civilization would become the crying and celebration accompanying the birth of these Celestials.

The Eternals were the race created to oversee this process. Their memories and cognition had been altered, making them believe their actions were righteous.

These immortal superhumans thus carried their so-called righteousness and compassion, endlessly nurturing the development of civilization until one day, when the Celestials’ gestation was complete and the Emergence began, everything would end.

Of course, Bai Cangshu was not mocking the birth of these cosmic gods. He simply felt that the Eternals were all clinging to hollow ideals and righteousness.

They were pitiful creatures who did not know why they lived, nor why they died.

A race possessing such tremendous power, immortality, and eternal life could not see through riddles whose answers even some human sages could find. That made them seem small and fragile.

Just like now, aside from Ikaris, who was arrogant because of his immense strength, the other Eternals still harbored a kind of naivety.

The naivety of wanting to talk and communicate with him.

Ha~

Bai Cangshu looked coldly at them, his greedy gaze shifting toward the pitch-black cavern.

He had considered Tiamat, the Celestial who had yet to be born, but such a cosmic entity was simply too massive for his current level of power.

Even if she controlled no authority, concept, or dimensional power, a mere planetary-scale entity was still beyond what Bai Cangshu could shake at present.

Or rather, under the broader settings of the Infinite Dimensional Space, these cosmic gods possessed the essence of true Star Spirits and had the foundation to touch the divine realm that no Reincarnator had yet reached.

It was not something attained through cultivation. Once they underwent Emergence, they naturally possessed it.

This was probably what they called a truly supreme race~

Ikaris dodged the Dodon Rays at incredible speed. He possessed flight, high-speed movement, a superhuman body, Heat Vision, and other powers. In some ways, he could be considered akin to a Kryptonian.

The only exception was his pure level of strength, which did not reach that level. Therefore, he could not truly threaten Bai Cangshu now.

After ascending to the sixth stage of the Eternal Samsara Stairway, Perfect Organism, Bai Cangshu had gained the ability to maintain Twofold Kaio-ken in his normal state. Now, he directly activated Eightfold Kaio-ken.

With Bai Cangshu’s base Strength already over 120 after his normal-state Limiter’s First Threshold Release, activating the Kirin Armor would push his Strength past 360 points. With the enhancement of Eightfold Kaio-ken, a single one of Bai Cangshu’s attributes had nearly reached three thousand points!

What kind of power was that? Even Thanos, who could beat Hulk into shutting down with a few physical blows, had nearly been killed outright by Bai Cangshu’s Serious Punch.

At this moment, although Bai Cangshu’s right arm had vanished after throwing that punch, disrupting his perfect internal cycle, he could still maintain the Eightfold Kaio-ken state for a short time.

If he wanted to, he could shatter Ikaris in an instant.

Bai Cangshu swatted Ikaris aside as though chasing away a mosquito, then voluntarily descended toward the abyss-like crater.

With power overflowing from him, Bai Cangshu greedily wanted to touch the Celestial who had never undergone Emergence in the original timeline!

Solomon’s expression changed when he saw this. Spiral-shaped spots in his eyes shone like starlight. His hands trembled twice, yet he made no move.

In an instant, he saw countless futures. So long as he used any spell now, Mercenary Tao would kill him.

And in some of those futures, even his resurrection ability would fail to take effect.

He watched Mercenary Tao descend into the bottomless crater. The next moment, his hands moved as though snapping their fingers.

Snap!

Silver radiance lit up once more.

Tina’s golden-haired figure shuddered as silver radiance pierced through her. The next moment, a silver-white Holy Lance flashed once again above New York, which was on the verge of collapse.

Ikaris immediately reacted, blasting Solomon away with Heat Vision.

Solomon flapped his wings, his figure seeming to blink out of existence as he flew toward a certain location.

Below, Captain Marvel activated Dual Star Burst again and charged straight at him like a streak of white aurora.

Solomon spread his hands, aiming one at Captain Marvel and the other at Ikaris.

The illusory staircase behind him was nearly formed, one side pitch-black and the other pure white. The fragment of the Darkhold began burning first, followed by Gabriel’s feather. His holy power was about to disappear completely, and it too began to burn.

Solomon knew well that after losing these two items, he could no longer sustain Saint George Domain over such a vast area for long. Facing the direction where Hela was located—

He raised both hands. Countless silver-white motes of light appeared. The next moment, the world fell silent.

Boom boom boom boom…

Like sympathetic detonations, silver-white Holy Lances fell one after another like crosses, followed by the thunderous sound of the city’s foundations and landmasses splitting apart.

You killed War Machine. Obtained C-rank Anomaly Point*2

You killed the Asgardian Warriors Three. Obtained B-rank Anomaly Point*1

You killed...

Solomon watched the notifications flood across his vision, and his mood grew heavier. This was an extremely dangerous choice. The resources of this world were all bait for Mercenary Tao in that state.

He understood clearly that he had not been killed only because Mercenary Tao wanted to fight him while he was lucid.

But if he seized Mercenary Tao’s resources, then once Mercenary Tao returned, he would probably try to kill him completely at the first opportunity.

Yet even knowing all that, Solomon still had to do it.

He had seen countless futures surrounding Mercenary Tao. Only in that one could he… survive!

Solomon practically endured the attacks of Captain Marvel and Ikaris as he unleashed slaughter across a wide area.

Whether ordinary people, Avengers, or Taris soldiers, he killed them all.

Milestones refreshed one after another, but Solomon had no mind to pay attention.

Below the planet, the violent tremors intensified once more. Solomon had already begun casting Dragonfall Spear on New Jersey.

Finally, scarlet and black notifications began appearing before him.

Warning! Special unit—the Black King Society—is about to enter this world.

All Reincarnators, evacuate immediately.
