Uncertainty Principle of Luck, One Piece World, Divine Punishment Begins! (4K)
Bai Cangshu put on the special "electrotherapy" device, then pressed the switch himself.
Bzzzt~
A powerful current pierced through his brain in an instant. His body seemed to possess immense electrical resistance; in an instant, intense electric light burst across his skin, sparks scattering as arcs of electricity coiled around him.
The intense burning pain instantly pierced through his nerves.
Even Bai Cangshu frowned tightly. The pain in his nerves did not fade in the slightest. Instead, as the device continuously increased its output, it only grew more agonizing.
You used the item: Violent Superpower InducerYou suffered a certain amount of electric shock damage...You were immune to brain damage...You were immune to nerve damage...Your Mental Power attribute +1. Current: 20Sin Karma Reincarnator EX051, you have officially touched the Mental Extreme Value. You may accept a trial mission to break past the extreme value at the Rank Management Office at any time.Bai Cangshu’s face turned pale and bluish as electricity continued to flash around him. Looking at the notification before him, his lips trembled as he prepared to throw away the device. He had never held much hope that an item of this rank could awaken any so-called superpower.
Bai Cangshu had only treated this item as a means of gaining additional Mental Power. Trading a C-rank Anomaly Point for one point of Mental Power was certainly not worthwhile, but it was a choice he had been forced to make in order to gather all four attributes and touch the extreme value one world earlier.
In Mob Psycho 100, not many people had awakened superpowers through this method either. And in the end, those abilities were simply too weak.
Bai Cangshu grabbed the device. Just as he was about to tear it off, a streak of electricity suddenly pierced through his temple. This time, however, it was not the horrifying pain of nerves burning.
Instead, a cool, refreshing sensation flowed through every nerve in his body in an instant. His thoughts had never been clearer.
Bzzzt~
The current inside the device on his head went out.
The item has been destroyed.Your Mental Power attribute +1. Current: 20+(21)You have awakened the superpower: Uncertainty Principle of Luck (B+)Uncertainty Principle of Luck (B+): A special superpower. You possess the ability to alter the luck of everyone around you. Through any form of interaction, such as touching, attacking, or killing, you may seize a target's luck. At the same time, others may seize your luck through the same methods.Bai Cangshu frowned. He had actually gained a superpower, and quite an eerie one at that.
Among all superpowers, the strangest were likely those involving causality and fate. Such abilities were even more vague, difficult to grasp, and difficult to counter than those involving rules, probability, or paradoxes.
Bai Cangshu looked at his hand. He could not sense any change in his body at all, as though only some nerve had truly been affected.
"Uncertainty Principle of Luck…"
This time, Bai Cangshu truly sensed something. Ever since entering the Infinite Dimensional Space, something unseen had been influencing him.
His luck had indeed been abnormally strong.
And he seemed inextricably entangled with luck itself.
For the moment, he could not determine whether this was good or bad.
Fortunately, regardless of how effective this superpower was, his Mental Power had still increased, and he had successfully touched the extreme value.
Bai Cangshu quickly went to see Goddess and spent a D-rank Anomaly Point to replenish the energy for Secret Rite: Inari Ōkami’s Strike. Then, with ten minutes remaining before deployment began, he arrived at the Rank Management Office right on time.
"Knight Sister, I’m here to accept the trial for surpassing the extreme value."
Knight Sister set down the palm-wide long sword in her hands. She stared at Bai Cangshu, an expression of amazement appearing on her face.
"I never expected that, in this era of Infinite Reincarnation, a reincarnator like you would still appear…"
Her expression suddenly changed, as if she had realized she had said something she should not have. She shook her head and put on her energetic smile again.
"Let me witness the birth of a perfect reincarnator."
She held her hands together in prayer before her chest. Golden radiance began to spread, and then a ball of golden light descended before Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu reached out and touched it.
You triggered the Special Trial: Path of TranscendancePath of Transcendance: You have felt the shackles of species, the chains of genes, and the limits of life. You have resolved to completely surpass those limits and achieve transcendence.Trial Objective A: Hunt and kill 1 strength-type transcendent lifeform; hunt and kill 1 agility-type transcendent lifeform; hunt and kill 1 mental-type transcendent lifeform; hunt and kill 1 constitution-type transcendent lifeform.Trial Objective B: Hunt and kill a composite super lifeform or legendary creature.Bai Cangshu focused on Trial Objective B and discovered that most legendary creatures and super lifeforms were powerful races with no weaknesses in any area—dragon species, demon species, angel species, holy spirits… He even saw Star Spirits.
Bai Cangshu was nearly amused by the option.
He recalled a joke he had once seen online. It had not seemed funny at all back then, but now he felt a little more immersed in it.
"Space: You, a First Tier reincarnator, go take down a Star Spirit."
"Me?"
So-called Star Spirits were likely one of the three strongest species in the Little Garden World, lifeforms bred with entire planets or even stars as their wombs.
"Because you are the most special kind of reincarnator, you have two ways to complete this trial. If you choose Trial A, every time you kill one type of transcendent lifeform, you can complete the corresponding portion and gain an incomplete transcendent trait."
"But if you complete Trial B, you will gain all transcendent traits at once. You may even redefine an entirely new Human Race species."
Just as Bai Cangshu was currently designated as Human: Perfect Individual (Mythical Species, Myriad Manifestation Species), there must have been a human during the mythological era whose bloodline had evolved for the first time under the enhancement of various powers, thereby giving birth to a new Human Race bloodline.
Deployment is about to begin. Please ensure that your surroundings are stable.Seeing the notification, Bai Cangshu turned and left the Rank Management Office, then teleported directly back to his Private Space.
He took out the map of Eldorado: Promised Land and chose to use it immediately.
You used a special item. The deployment target has been affected.Deployment begins...3...2...1......At the same time, several teams within the East District reacted.
In a sunlit garden, Moon Demon drew Black Blade: Yoru and rose to his feet. The Record Pointer and Directional Anchor beside him shattered together, turning into rotating radiance.
A rare smile appeared on his stern face.
Kyouya stood behind him at the same time.
Meanwhile, in another chaotic gathering space, Flame Demon shouted and raised a shattered Directional Anchor, loudly announcing to everyone in the gathering.
"Everyone, watch me go and slay that Moon Demon!"
Then he and a group of distinctively dressed reincarnators behind him were enveloped by a stream of information.
Inside a vast silver-white building as luxurious as a palace, Snow Witch suddenly tapped the ground.
Ice instantly interrupted the movements of several people.
Snow Witch frowned and said,
"Abandon the pursuit of Flame Demon. Someone extremely dangerous is involved in this mission…"
The others did not understand, but no one questioned Snow Witch’s judgment. Everyone knew that one of Snow Witch’s friends was a high-ranking member of the Destiny Gathering, a Third Tier Chosen who could learn information other reincarnators could not.
At that moment, the man in the white stand-collar uniform directly destroyed both the Directional Anchor and Record Pointer in his hands. The tracking attempt completely failed.
In an instant, he was deployed normally and disappeared.
"What happened? This world should have been a rare grand spectacle."
"The conflict between Great Sun of Finality and Life of Silence should already be down to its final window. Destiny, Throne of Illusion and Reality, and Azure Sky have joined forces to mediate. Even those two should give up targeting each other’s factions after this mission cycle ends."
"The life-and-death battle between Moon Demon and Flame Demon, Great Demon’s rebellion and escape… They are almost all down to this final chance…"
"What danger made you decide that we had to abandon this hunt?"
The person standing beside Snow Witch had an eerie, pale complexion. The veins beneath his skin were clearly visible, and the blood flowing within them was emerald green.
Snow Witch glanced at him and said irritably,
"Tree Herder, if you truly think this is a good chance to hunt, then go try it."
"I’m only telling you… a member of the Black King Society has mobilized."
Tree Herder’s pupils contracted, and he said nothing more.
Bai Cangshu suddenly felt a chill. Waves crashed against his feet one after another, gradually returning his senses to his body.
He blinked, and his vision recovered as well.
Bai Cangshu’s powerful senses instantly began feeding every sound and image around him into his brain.
The distant sky was black as ink. Terrifying hurricanes connected the heavens and the sea. The nearby area had also turned gloomy, and the air was heavy with moisture; even breathing felt uncomfortably damp.
On the nearby shore lay half of a massive wooden merchant ship, overturned on the sand.
Several figures around him on the beach were only beginning to move as well.
Clearly, this batch of reincarnators had entered the world as survivors of a shipwrecked merchant vessel.
White seabirds cried miserably in the sky, seemingly desperate to escape some dangerous place. They dropped large numbers of wanted posters, confirming Bai Cangshu’s suspicions. They were not seagulls, but the News Birds unique to this world, creatures specially used to deliver newspapers.
Bai Cangshu lowered his head and picked up one stuck beside his foot.
Lines of red words appeared in rough cursive.

A frivolous voice rang out from the other side of the beach. A reincarnator wearing a half silver mask spun a black revolver in his hand, deliberately speaking to draw everyone’s attention.
His skin was dark, his brows thick, and his eyes large. His hair was styled in dreadlocks, the kind usually chosen by Black people.
Once everyone had awakened, he reached out to test it. The spatial barrier before him had already vanished.
He grinned, his face flushed with excitement, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Hey, hey, it’s rare for a mission to have this many reincarnators… Let’s…"
"Kill each other!"
Bang!
He suddenly fired. A talisman before another reincarnator lit up instantly, and the man immediately realized what had happened. Light flashed in his hand as well, and a machine gun appeared.
He hoisted the machine gun and began spraying bullets wildly at the other man.
The actions of those two were like a fuse, instantly causing the reincarnators on the beach to begin attacking one another madly.
Bai Cangshu watched this coldly. It had to be said, the mental states of reincarnators were truly worth examining. The diversity of living creatures here delighted Bai Cangshu immensely.
There were those who would approach and attempt to communicate and cooperate with others, and there were also lunatics like this, who opened fire first at the slightest disagreement.
Bang!
Bai Cangshu moved, and a bullet grazed his body before sinking into the sand.
He raised his head and saw the masked man. While dodging, the talisman’s light continuously flashed around him, yet the gun in his hand kept firing at everyone nearby.
Judging from his movements, he seemed to be provoking them deliberately.
Bai Cangshu raised his left foot high. Only then did several people notice his presence. Their pupils shrank as they shouted,
"Watch out, it’s Mercenary Tao!"
Boom!
A huge amount of sand exploded in an instant, and Bai Cangshu vanished. In a flash, he flew nearly a hundred meters. Looking at the dreadlocked man he had instantly passed, fear had only just risen in the man’s trembling pupils.
Bai Cangshu took another step and instantly turned back, reaching for the man’s throat. But an invisible barrier blocked him.
The man had recognized Mercenary Tao’s identity as well. He instantly fired two shots. He had not aimed at all when he pulled the trigger, instead firing with a flick of his wrist, the gun’s trajectory not fully matching his movements.
But Bai Cangshu stood where he was.
Clang!
Clang!
After two sounds, his right hand vanished in an instant. The next moment, it struck the space before the man, shattering the talisman.
"Mercenary Tao, don’t kill me…"
The man had barely begun to speak when his throat was already seized. Bai Cangshu had no interest in listening to any of the man’s so-called schemes. He tightened his grip.
Crack. The sound of a crushed windpipe rang out.
But in the next instant, an overwhelming sense of dread appeared in Bai Cangshu’s heart. He lowered his head and looked at his arm. With his excessively sharp vision, he could clearly see every hair on his arm standing on end.
He suddenly realized something. The dreadlocks atop the head of the man whose neck he had broken, yet who had not died, were slowly coming undone.
This phenomenon was… lightning!
Screech!
Blue-white lightning descended from the sky like a pillar reaching the heavens, instantly engulfing Bai Cangshu and the dreadlocked man together.
Screech!
Screech!
Thunderbolts rained down from the sky. Moments later, not a single person remained on the beach—only charred corpses scattered across the sand.
Bzzzt~
A bolt of lightning shot over from afar. A bare-chested man stood in midair, his body wrapped in crackling electricity. With his eyelids lowered, he looked over the corpses carpeting the ground, and his gaze shifted slightly.
"There’s still one voice…"
One less update today. I had a headache last night, so I’m taking a short rest. Updates will resume this afternoon.
