The Reincarnators’ Separate Battles (4K)
A battle of extreme intensity came swiftly and ended even faster.
Song Xian clutched his chest and sat on the ground, watching the completely frozen sea begin to thaw. The Black Pearl began raising its sails, and Great Sun of Finality’s group seemed to have decided to head for a set of coordinates in the Pacific Ocean.
That location was closest to the Finality Empire, and since the coordinates lay in the middle of the ocean, relatively few Reincarnators should be heading there.
Though Great Sun of Finality was domineering, he also took the responsibilities he ought to bear very seriously.
Song Xian let out a small sigh of relief. He had already received Elder Zhong’s urgent message and only wanted to return to the space as soon as possible to recover from his injuries before rushing back to East Xia.
But…
Looking at Bai Cangshu standing on the beach, now devastated beyond recognition, he still wanted to make one last effort.
Chu Qi found Tianjie, who had lost an arm, inside the completely cleaved-open Divine Tiger Mecha. He knew this was probably Life of Silence’s mercy. Though she had struck with thunderous force, Tianjie, Song Xian, and even that ICE had all survived.
That was also one reason why Great Sun of Finality and Sen Xia had quickly agreed to a ceasefire.
Chu Qi looked at Song Xian and sighed. He placed the unconscious Tianjie beside him. Tianjie had most likely been directly overwhelmed into unconsciousness by excessively powerful Spiritual Pressure.
Then, from dozens of meters away, ignoring Echo’s startled gaze in the distance, Chu Qi spoke to Bai Cangshu.
"Cang Shu, will you go to East Xia and the other places under invasion?"
"No matter what, this is still your world, isn’t it?"
Bai Cangshu turned around and looked at the "friend" who had led him into the Infinite Dimensional Space. The smile on his lips was obvious, and in the end, he nodded.
"Yeah. You’re right. This is still my world."
The next moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly turned and pointed at a spot in the sea.
Bzzz!
A golden Ki Blast erupted from his fingertip in an instant. The surrounding air shattered outward in rings. In just a moment, an enormous trench appeared in the ocean as the immense Ki Blast burst through the sea.
On the Black Pearl, Mahakala’s muscles instantly tensed, and his body expanded as he instinctively moved to intercept it. But Tan Zhishan grabbed Mahakala and held him back.
The golden Ki Blast tore through the sea and air for several thousand meters before colliding with a blue particle beam that had likewise pierced through the air.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave erupted over the ocean, and a massive vortex formed on the surface.
Only then, following the direction from which the particle beam had come, did Mahakala barely sense an immensely powerful individual silently floating above the sea at an extreme distance.
That distance was already hundreds of nautical miles away, leaving him horrified.
Had Mercenary Tao’s perception really become this powerful?
And… what exactly could launch such a powerful attack from so far away?!
Tan Zhishan lit a cigar for the first time in a long while. Thick smoke seemed to conceal both his expression and his thoughts.
"Stay calm. That was only a danger prediction. Mercenary Tao hasn’t reached that level yet."
He knew very well that although Mercenary Tao had obtained some immensely powerful Tier this time, he had probably only just begun climbing it. At present, his strength should only be on the same level as Tan Zhishan’s.
He had not yet reached the level of those three.
Therefore, the most likely explanation for Mercenary Tao sensing an attack that Tan Zhishan could not was that Mercenary Tao possessed some sort of danger prediction or Killing Intent Perception ability and had attacked in advance to block the strike.
As for the enemy capable of attacking them from so far away…
Tan Zhishan had his own answer.
"Tell the other Reincarnators that one of the enemies in the Pacific Ocean is an Angel—Ramiel from the EVA world. We need to prepare items and abilities capable of breaking through an AT Field, the Wall of Heart."
Bzzz!
At that moment, another particle cannon blast came from across the sea. Before it reached the nearshore waters, however, it struck some invisible object and was directly deflected into the ocean.
Boom!
The sea was pierced clean through by the blast, and a massive vortex followed.
Bai Cangshu withdrew his gaze as well. The one hidden away was most likely the Critical Sniping he had failed to kill in the One Piece World.
That technique of his, capable of deflecting trajectories, was still shrouded in secrecy. Bai Cangshu could roughly guess several possible power systems, but for someone of his current level, there was no longer any need to painstakingly gather intelligence on people of that caliber.
He merely lowered his head and looked at the silver-gray-haired girl who only reached his chest in height. The scarlet Battle Aura blade in her hand radiated a threat far beyond that of the other Reincarnators.
Even the Angel in the distant sea could not compare to her.
"Who does Life of Silence wish to kill?"
Life of Silence, who had been quietly waiting nearby, seemed to snap back to herself only after hearing Bai Cangshu’s voice. She had been crouching at the edge of that enormous crater, as if her thoughts had wandered far away.
She turned to look at Mercenary Tao, whose entire body exuded a chilling presence, and nodded.
A mysterious Tier as high as level thirteen, immensely powerful ki, Spiritual Pressure intense enough to crush the consciousness of Second Tier Reincarnators, and the formidable essence that governed it all.
Such a Reincarnator was indeed qualified to enter that world with her and begin the slaughter.
Everyone else was either too weak, lacked sufficient strength of character, or was overly softhearted.
"A traitor. Perhaps an immortal, perhaps a demon, perhaps a monster. She must die."
Life of Silence’s voice was crisp, but very soft, like that of an innocent young girl.
Yet as Bai Cangshu looked at the Battle Aura blade, the stabbing pain along his spine kept reminding him that this Reincarnator, who resembled a young girl, was unquestionably one of the few true killing stars.
Even Great Sun of Finality was slightly inferior to her in Bai Cangshu’s perception.
No, Bai Cangshu even felt that the gap between the two might be greater than others imagined.
It was a difference in the very essence of Reincarnators.
"Your Excellency should know that my price for acting isn’t cheap."
The girl nodded and said calmly,
"I can kill for you as well. In the next cycle, I will kill one Supreme Expert for you."
Bai Cangshu shook his head.
"No, no, Your Excellency. When it comes to killing, I prefer to do it myself."
Looking down from above at this powerful Reincarnator, he said,
"How about this? If I kill that traitor for Your Excellency this time, you must agree to one condition of mine. Whether it is finding a certain ability, item, or material for me, or acting on my behalf once."
A Single Thought of Silk stood a little farther away. Her face was calm, but her heart churned with waves. She had always believed that Mercenary Tao would most likely seize a Crown of Supremacy in this title contest.
Then what was happening now was undoubtedly a collaboration between two Supreme Experts.
In the next cycle, would she be in a faction backed by an alliance of two Crown holders?!
She had grown accustomed to being a lone wolf, so suddenly having such a powerful force at her back felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Su Qingqiu and Su Enfei exchanged a look as well, already calculating that they had to report this news to the gathering. In the next cycle, The Heaven had to choose the right side.
Now that Reincarnators had begun interfering with the real world on a large scale, and the real world itself was beginning to suffer incursions from other spaces, both the global situation and the situation within the space were about to undergo a massive reshuffle. There were even rumors that King of Miracles, one of The Three Supreme Kings, would die soon.
Amid such turbulent winds and clouds, the cooperation between these two might represent a new opportunity.
Though Great Sun of Finality’s Finality Empire currently appeared to be the strongest, its top-level power was clearly no match for a combination of two Crown holders.
Moreover, in terms of combat strength alone, Great Sun of Finality was inferior to Life of Silence. Once Mercenary Tao obtained a Crown of Supremacy, the boost from the title of Supreme Expert would make it almost certain that he would surpass Great Sun of Finality.
Su Enfei made her decision.
Above East Xia, the woman in Golden Armor had barely regained the ability to move before an Energy Torrent swept over her. Before the blade she had swung, another woman stood with her hands tightly clasped together.
The light of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit flared. The terrifying sword light struck the barrier, and lightning immediately flashed in all directions. Every wisp of golden electricity that touched the woman’s body made her convulse.
Yet Miko, the twin-tailed woman, gritted her teeth and did not retreat a single step. She herself was a Reincarnator from Yingtian.
She had originally planned to follow the team to the Philippine border today and see whether they could gain anything. Since she had no transportation-type ability, she had only made it halfway when she discovered that the world was under invasion.
The entire team immediately turned back.
Below her was her hometown. She pushed the Devil Fruit ability she had obtained only because she feared death, exhausting all her resources in the process, to its utmost limit.
On the other side, the man who had just used his Stand User ability to briefly stop time panted heavily as he threw Skylark, whose chest had been sliced open on one side, toward the team’s healer.
Though their Bocchi the Rock was not a particularly famous team in the Third Tier, the members’ enhancements were extremely specialized.
Miko was a pure defender with almost no offensive ability, while he was a battlefield controller. The several people responsible for damage in the rear were frantically unleashing their abilities.
The sweating fat man held his hands in the air around the target, allowing it to be struck head-on by his teammate’s Railgun.
Pfft!
The coin finally pierced through the opponent’s golden armor and passed through her chest.
Lu Zheng, who concealed his identity as a mutant under the title of Lv5 Railgun, brightened with joy. But the next moment, he saw the woman, whose heart had been pierced, merely spit out a mouthful of blood before raising her golden trident and sweeping it toward them.
A blade of aurora-like light sliced through the air and swept toward them.
Miko was repositioned by a teammate using telekinesis. Both her hands were already fractured, but she still forcibly pressed them together.
"Barrier!"
Pfft!
The barrier was sliced apart in an instant. Miko thought, This is bad, but immediately afterward, a furious shout rang in her ears.
"Get down!"
Miko instinctively lowered her head and only felt terrifying magical power sweep past from above.
Purplish-red magical power, accompanied by peerless sword light, swept directly in from the city.
At the instant she lowered her head, it collided with the aurora-like sword light.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted as magical power and divine power detonated together, indiscriminately blasting outward in every direction.
Skylark, who had simply sprayed some hemostatic medicine over his shoulder, looked up and saw a female knight in a Black Mask walking over from the panicked fleeing crowd on the street across from them, sword in hand.
Intense magical power burned from that sword.
Her pale golden hair was tied behind her head. This was…
"Saber?!"
Devon missed with her first strike and was preparing to attack again when a cold, sinister force appeared around her.
She turned and saw a tall white-haired man hanging upside down in the sky dozens of meters behind her.
His hands were in his pockets as though he were standing upside down on the sky itself, blue skies and white clouds seemingly drifting in his eyes.
"Satoru Gojo?!"
Miko cried out as well.
The sound of propellers gradually grew clearer. Armed helicopters began descending one after another. From the foremost helicopter stepped a tall, handsome long-haired man, a teasing and mocking smile on his face.
By now, everyone among the Reincarnators of the East District had memorized that face.
The members of Bocchi the Rock all cried out instinctively.
"Mercenary Tao?!"
Bai Cangshu’s duplicate imitated the smile of the so-called original body. Spreading his arms beneath the recording of countless cameras, he said,
"Don’t worry. An enemy of this level can be crushed with a wave of the hand."
With a wave of his hand, Artoria below and Satoru Gojo in the sky struck at the same time.
In the underground base in Yanjing, Song Xian beside Zhong Tianming also let out a sigh of relief. Though he did not understand why Bai Cangshu would cooperate with their side in staging such a performance,
this meant East Xia’s plan could continue.
Through this battle in Yingtian, the world would believe that Mercenary Tao truly stood on their side, and furthermore…
Zhong Tianming confirmed something. That mysterious and unfathomable Bai Cangshu seemed to be different from what Song Xian and the others had judged.
He was not a beast. He… wanted to truly become the king who ruled Ability Users, perhaps even the world!
By acting through his duplicate, Zhong Tianming had effectively saved him much effort. That was why he had cooperated with their side.
Over the Pacific Ocean, the Black Pearl faced the enormous octahedral crystal floating silently in the air, while Black Great Sun had already risen into the sky.
Great Sun of Finality brought his hands together before him. The Coronal Cannon was ready. Without special items to assist him, he had to confront it head-on with sufficiently powerful energy and shatter Ramiel’s Wall of Heart.
Even for him, that would not be easy.
In the western desert of America, a giant over three meters tall, clad in Golden Armor and holding a battle axe upside down in one hand, looked wantonly at the cowboy standing before him.
"Are you the only one who reached this beacon?"
"Heh. It seems this world’s West District is far weaker than the East District."
He then raised his battle axe, but the next moment, the ground suddenly burst open and a spinning bullet shot toward his forehead.
Pfft!
Neither his battle axe nor his armor did anything. His head was directly pierced by the shot.
Blood sprayed out.
On a stretch of bitterly cold frozen earth, a golden-haired man sat atop a gigantic dead tree, his body covered in ice and snow.
He looked at the beacon on the ground as the corpses of Reincarnators around him slowly disappeared.
Tap, tap, tap.
Clear footsteps rang out as a woman dragged a sword toward him.
The man’s pupils contracted. Behind the woman, circles of illusory ripples spread into the distance, even disrupting his connection to the gods.

Please consult the Goddess's Abode for related information.The moment Bai Cangshu returned to his Private Space, he saw the prompts from the space’s scan.
The damage to his flesh had long since vanished, but… there was indeed still some hidden danger within his body.
Bai Cangshu touched his chest. There, the sounds of two hearts beating rang out at once.
