Unable to Win Even Giving It Everything

Team member GF56624133 (Zhou Si) has died

Ring!

Left Eye opened her eyes, and the aura that had fallen into deathly silence suddenly erupted with grim resolve.

She hated herself for having just been affected by the so-called Omen of the Evil God: Heart of Slaanesh.

A terrifying sword cry rang out.

Her sword was so fast that the instant it left its sheath, a sonic boom cloud appeared directly before her—only to be cleaved apart by the same strike.

Buzz!

The air was instantly split into two layers, and blazing-white smoke clouds formed a massive fan stretching across the entire space.

This enormous slash spanned more than ten kilometers, cutting from the chaotic battlefield of the reincarnators into the city where the two monsters were fighting, shearing off a corner of the uprooted city’s edge.

At the center of that slash, the scarlet figure nearly four meters tall was likewise cut apart by the fan-shaped blade.

Left Eye panted. Her fingers and wrist were completely twisted out of shape. This My Style: Iaido Sword Drawing Technique was a special ability she had developed by raising the most basic Iaido Slash to Lv. 9 and enhancing it with the Singularity.

It was the sword-drawing technique best suited to her, with power beyond that of ordinary A+-rank swordsmanship.

Having cleaved the evil god apart with one strike, she did not relax. Instead, she endured the pain and sheathed her sword again.

Pfft.

Before the blade was even halfway back into its sheath, she could no longer move.

A huge red hand had already seized her arm.

Left Eye’s pupils contracted. The evil god she had cut in half at the waist was slowly vanishing like foam, while before her, that scarlet aura was undeniably real.

So fast…

Buzz!

A massive icy-blue blade aura descended from the sky. The red-haired Shōnen, Indra, gripped his treasured blade with both hands and slashed from several hundred meters away. His bearing now possessed eighty or ninety percent of Red Dust’s former presence.

But Bai Cangshu, who held the woman’s arm in his right hand, did not even turn around. He merely raised his left hand.

Clang!

The enormous blade aura shattered against his left arm, and even the frozen air around them could not affect him in the slightest.

Left Eye’s heart clenched violently. Mercenary Tao’s malice battered her face like relentless gale-force winds.

"You bastard, don’t even think—"

Pfft!

A short tachi had only just appeared in Left Eye’s left hand when a tremendous force yanked her up and smashed her into the ground.

The force was so great that her right arm instantly twisted and tore apart, exposing white bone.

"Ah!"

Left Eye, who had always been devoted to the sword, screamed for the first time from the excruciating pain.

But the next moment, Mercenary Tao lifted her again and slammed her into the ground with even greater force.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across it.

A figure instantly appeared before her. Holy light continuously descended, immediately stopping the bleeding from her severed arm, and Left Eye felt the agony begin to ease.

But as she watched Mercenary Tao shake her severed arm twice before tossing it onto the ground, Left Eye’s heart kept tightening, and fear had already taken hold within her.

Was this guy really a Second Tier reincarnator?

How could he possess such terrifying combat power?

What kind of Transformation Jutsu was this? Which world did it come from…

Because of fear, Left Eye could no longer calm down. Her thoughts scattered wildly, and she failed to notice that her breathing had become ragged and that her left hand was trembling so badly she no longer resembled a reincarnator who possessed a personal My Style sword technique.

Indra turned around and roared. The clothes on his upper body instantly shattered, revealing powerful Internal Qi. His red hair continued growing amid the transformation, and he now looked almost no different from Red Dust.

Except for those heterochromatic eyes, one red and one orange.

Indra’s talent was called Absolute Mimicry, an ability that allowed him to infinitely approach his target of imitation. The better he understood a target, the more faithfully he could mimic them.

Whether it was ability levels, fighting style, martial techniques, spellcasting techniques, or even energy, he could make them all similar.

Because he did not understand the Sage’s abilities, he had always mimicked Red Dust, the second-strongest member of the Chaos Sage. Now that he had fully unleashed his Internal Qi, he did indeed resemble him somewhat.

But fear had also appeared in Indra’s eyes. After that roar, he did not strike again, instead waiting for Archimedes’s assistance from the sky.

The sight of Mercenary Tao crushing his several-hundred-meter blade aura with one hand had made Indra fully understand just how powerful Mercenary Tao was.

The other side was a monster. In a single exchange, he had instantly killed Zhou Si, then crippled Left Eye, who was stronger than Indra, in another instant.

Can I win…

"Can you… win…"

"Ha, hahaha!"

Mercenary Tao’s wild laughter sounded as though blades were scraping against stone, terrifyingly low, yet it also seemed to echo within Indra’s own heart.

Indra took a step back, his eyes fixed tightly on Mercenary Tao.

He had another superpower called Eye of the Heavenly Emperor, which could make his opponent lose their balance. It seemed like an ability that required buildup, but it was actually a special mechanism akin to Causality Law.

As long as he activated it at the right moment…

Bai Cangshu looked wantonly at the Shōnen, whose fear had completely shattered his mental defenses and allowed Bai Cangshu to read all his thoughts.

The sound of his heartbeat had already merged into one continuous beat, yet it was not because he was fighting these weaklings.

After activating Omen of the Evil God and his own talent, Bai Cangshu’s attributes had swelled, and he had completely sensed an even more powerful presence.

Right around him!

He lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot.

Tap.

It sounded as crisp as a pebble striking the ground.

Archimedes, floating a hundred meters in the air, felt his heart sink. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw enormous cracks continuously spreading across the ground.

Though he did not know the exact number, Mercenary Tao’s base physical strength had definitely surpassed sixty points. No, it had likely already surpassed eighty…

As one of the rare reincarnators whose strength and mental attributes had both broken through their limits, Archimedes had never imagined that physical strength, under extreme control, could produce such an effect.

Crack!

The ground within a radius of three thousand meters instantly shattered along its cracks, then sank with a thunderous roar.

Almost at the same instant the ground exploded, his gaze shifted. Before his eyes could fully focus on Indra, he saw a huge scarlet figure standing where Indra had just been, having replaced him.

And Indra…

Archimedes kept moving his gaze, only to see a black dot flying toward the distant city at an utterly exaggerated speed.

Blood and flesh scattered continuously along the way.

Bang!

The impact sound returned only a moment later. Archimedes closed his eyes, and the arrogance that had been deliberately reinforced within him nearly shattered completely.

He saw Indra smash into the floating city fragment like a lump of rotten flesh, staining one wall of a building red.

Cold sweat streamed down Red Queen’s temples. As her pupils trembled, she saw the space prompt informing her that Indra had also died.

Meanwhile, the usually calm Left Eye was trembling incessantly behind her. She could not even hold her sword tightly and kept instinctively saying that it hurt.

Was it the pain of losing a limb?

Or another one of Mercenary Tao’s special abilities?!

She could no longer tell, nor did she even know whether she should cast a Divine Arts dispel.

Strength, speed, destructive power, defense, special resistance, special damage…

Every one of Mercenary Tao’s abilities surpassed theirs.

Was this kind of monster really the one intelligence claimed had been driven into a corner by Millennium Worm?!

Was Millennium Worm really that strong? That was impossible, wasn’t it…

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Heavy footsteps approached from ahead. Archimedes also descended from the sky and came to stand behind Red Queen.

He no longer dared to separate from the others. Mercenary Tao’s speed was too terrifying.

Red Queen instinctively activated her shield’s special ability.

The purple-red shield immediately embedded itself into the ground. A massive dragon head emerged from it, and purple venom instantly began spraying outward.

The poison surged like a flood, beginning to drown everything.

Bai Cangshu neither dodged nor evaded. Their fear grew stronger and stronger, and the Cocoon of Greed’s absorption effect intensified accordingly. On the surface of his body, poison, Internal Qi, lightning, and magic power were all transforming into a layer of shield, like a massive cocoon wrapping around him.

This torrent could not break through his defense at all.

"Try a little harder, Chaos Sage. Let me absorb your power, then go have a proper fight with that Sage, Tang Sanzang…"
