Tyrant Sky Blood
Bai Cangshu prominently displayed four brand-new Cleaner Scarlet Drop Cards at his stall and set them to accept offers.
If no suitable price came along, he would not necessarily trade these cards away. To him, at Omen of the Evil God: Tier Three, these Cleaner Scarlet Drop Cards were a stable source of attribute points.
He could activate them whenever he needed to.
The surrounding crowd was still shaken by Azure Sky’s rare appearance just now, passing the news around nonstop. For a while, no one came forward with an offer.
Instead, the gentle woman in white priestly robes had not left with the Professor and the other man. She walked up to the stall and looked at Bai Cangshu with a complicated expression.
"Mercenary Tao, could you tell me how Roland ended up?"
Loman’s eyes curved gently, her skin was fair, and while her Avatar was not exceptionally beautiful, she had a comforting air about her.
Even her voice was almost devoid of hostility.
Reincarnators possessed power beyond ordinary people and could act wantonly in mission worlds, so they often unconsciously carried an imposing presence. The stronger the Reincarnator, the more so.
But this woman was completely different. She seemed like someone who had shed all hostility. Although she did not like Mercenary Tao, she would not hate him for no reason.
Loman knew very well that if Roland had truly been killed by Mercenary Tao, or tricked to his death by him, then Cao Qi’s attitude would never have been what it was now.
No matter how absurd or careless Cao Qi might seem, Loman knew that Cao Qi’s feelings for Roland were no less profound than her own. Her earlier behavior had undoubtedly proven that Mercenary Tao was not the cause of Roland’s death.
Loman had previously been strictly forbidden from investigating related worlds or contacting related Reincarnators. But this time, Adam had deliberately allowed her to stay behind. She knew that meant she could now learn the truth of Roland’s death.
Bai Cangshu glanced at the woman. She gave off an aura completely at odds with his own.
Under ordinary circumstances, Bai Cangshu would probably have considered her weak. But after so many missions, he had learned from countless Reincarnators what kind of organization Azure Sky was.
Absolutely elite. Every official member possessed formidable strength and highly unusual enhancements.
Loman extended her right hand toward Bai Cangshu.
Reincarnator RM31171003 has initiated a trade with youYou obtained B-rank Anomaly Point*1You obtained Dimensional Points*12000Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow and let out a frivolous whistle. These Azure Sky veterans really were rich. They were offering a price that even many Extremely Rare items could not fetch just to ask for a piece of information with little practical use.
Of course, Bai Cangshu could not understand the special bonds between people, so he could not understand how important a dead man’s final experiences could be to those who cared for him.
Bai Cangshu was someone who valued the spirit of contracts. Having received what he considered a rather generous reward, he thought back for a moment before recounting the final story of the Reincarnator who had lingered on in the One Piece World and caused an enormous disaster.
"That Roland probably died a long time ago. What kept him in the One Piece World seemed to be nothing more than a single thought. He said he had to strike the Abyss God with his sword…"
Bai Cangshu fully recounted how Roland became a God Hand, was imprisoned by Enel, used the power of corruption to drastically alter the island, performed Body Snatching on him and fought him for control of his body, ultimately severed his own spirit body, began a new Eclipse, summoned the Black King of the Black King Society, and finally chose to die by his hand.
He did not conceal the truth that Roland’s spirit body had voluntarily charged into him at the end and been killed.
As Loman listened to Roland’s final struggle and last wish, tears had already streamed down her face. She finally understood why Cao Qi had been unwilling to let her know. Otherwise, she would surely have wanted to help Roland fulfill that wish.
For Guts, strike the Abyss God with a sword!
The Reincarnators of Azure Sky treated Plot Characters entirely differently from other Reincarnators. Many of them sincerely wanted to help those pitiful people struggling within scripts that had already been written for them.
Roland was one such person.
They had entered the Berserk World and brought Guts out, triggering a series of conflicts that led to the deaths of many Plot Characters and Reincarnators.
It had also allowed the Abyss God’s Causality Law to affect many worlds.
In the end, everything had concluded with Guts voluntarily entering the Eclipse and Roland’s death.
No… Loman suddenly realized something. That Black King had entered the Abyss World, and she was now permitted to involve herself in these matters. This meant that, in Cao Qi’s eyes, she would no longer be plotted against by the Abyss God’s Causality Law…
"The Abyss God was killed or sealed by Luffy, Their…"
She closed her eyes, unwilling to expose any more emotion. In Mercenary Tao’s unblinking eyes, there was no sympathy or mockery, only a desire to probe for information.
Loman did not want to meet Mercenary Tao’s gaze. She even felt that those were not eyes a human should possess. Mercenary Tao was more like an "inhuman."
"I hope Roland did not choose the wrong person."
Leaving behind only those words, Loman directly teleported out of the Slum Area. Clearly, she had already guessed that Roland had voluntarily used the power of Morning Star of Hope before his death and handed the card she had been unable to find no matter what to this increasingly mysterious Mercenary Tao.
Roland’s choice, Cao Qi’s choice, and Adam’s choice all told Loman that Mercenary Tao was special, but she no longer wished to investigate further.
Bai Cangshu looked at the spot where the woman had vanished, still replaying the unfinished half of her sentence in his mind.
The Abyss God had been killed or sealed by Black King Luffy?!
Could the Black King Society really accomplish something like that…
Bai Cangshu became even more curious about this space’s most mysterious group.
"Um, I’d like to buy this Drop Card."
A voice sounded at that moment, interrupting Bai Cangshu’s musings. He had not expected someone to immediately make an offer for these Cleaner Scarlet Drop Cards.
The newcomer wore silver-white armor, with black and white twin swords on his back. His features were heroic, but there was little sharpness in his eyes.
Bai Cangshu recognized him. This Reincarnator codenamed Show was also highly regarded by many top-tier Reincarnators, who believed he possessed great potential for combat.
He had also once bought a vial of Compound V from Bai Cangshu.
What left the deepest impression on Bai Cangshu, however, was that this man was one of the very few Reincarnators who showed no unusual reaction toward him.
Neither fear, disgust, worship, nor hatred… Show seemed unaware of Mercenary Tao’s uniqueness. He treated Mercenary Tao no differently from anyone else.
"This is my offer. Take a look."
He raised his hand, and intense violet radiance rippled from the item in his hand. The brilliance was so concentrated that it instantly enveloped the area around Bai Cangshu’s stall.
Violet radiance of this level was unprecedented!
Reincarnator II67855510 (Show) has displayed the item: Tyrant Sky BloodIt was a drop of blood. A single drop floated in midair, yet its intense violet radiance surpassed every possible description.
This thing was exceedingly rare!
