Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 167: Spirit, Unreachable Promise (4K First Update)
Bai Cangshu didn't expect that this girl was not as naive as he imagined, but knew everything, whether it was the attitude of Leo and other navy officers or old Hank's occasional slip of the tongue.

She vaguely guessed that Captain Corey might have encountered something very bad and dangerous.

Just like the mom and dad who once fell in this neighborhood.

Those pitch-black corpses that shattered to pieces at the slightest touch were a nightmare that Cindy often thought of.

She was afraid that one day, she would see Captain Corey, dressed in black, appear in some corner of the island.

"Do you know where he is?"

Cindy nodded, but quickly shook her head.

"I have no idea."

"But I heard that all those who have resisted that lord and are still alive will be locked up by the God's Guard and hidden in the forbidden area."

"The lady at the market also said that the master would need a lot more food in addition to the current temple."

When Bai Cangshu heard this, his eyes moved and he suddenly thought of a way to break the impasse.

The most fundamental reason for his current predicament is that Enelu himself is too powerful, and he is equivalent to being trapped on this island.

Unlike in the black robe world, Bai Cangshu can move around and has ample space to take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu knew that although [Eneel] was powerful, his physical skills and physical fitness were not so invincible.

As long as they can find an elite vice admiral-level expert from the headquarters of the navy to lead the team, or those elite pirates roaming the new world, and the domineering masters work together to snipe the opponent, there is a considerable possibility of eliminating Eneel before other reincarnations enter the world.

Moreover, as long as other forces intervene, Bai Cangshu will have a lot of room for maneuver. Although Enel is not a good target to be used, this guy may not be smart, but he believes deep down that he is a [God]. That kind of arrogance makes him not regard other people as equal communication partners.

Even when the four priests who had followed him first were defeated, he showed no sympathy.

"Hey, big guy, are you listening?!"

Cindy kept jumping up and shaking her hands. Bai Cangshu picked her up and put her on a chair beside him. Then he said
"I can't save others. Besides, if I meet your Captain Corey, I will save him."

Bai Cangshu did not feel any guilt at all for deceiving a child. In fact, Bai Cangshu had never felt the emotion of guilt so far.

Cindy was very happy, and then told Bai Cangshu one by one where the tough guys in the town were generally active.

Bai Cangshu wrote them down one by one. In fact, there were still some people in this [Kingdom of God].

At that time, the first group of people who stood up against Enel were not the pirates and groups, but ordinary people led by the sheriff.

After Enelu killed everyone with his invincible power, no one, whether pirates or anyone else, had the courage to resist again.

You can only try to contact the outside world secretly or escape.

But the scary thing about [Enel] is that his [Mind Network] ability actually uses [radio waves] to perceive additional information.

Therefore, those who sent out the communication suffered divine punishment immediately.

Chila!

As he spoke, a blazing white lightning fell from the sky.

Bai Cangshu turned around and saw lightning striking a few kilometers away, and a four or five-story building was reduced to ashes.

Screams and panic ensued.

Cindy covered her mouth as well.

“That’s the Town Hall!”

"Big guy, be careful yourself, I have to go see if anyone needs Cindy's help!"

The girl opened the door and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Bai Cangshu was sitting by the window, and for the first time, he experienced the power of Eneel and the fear of the characters in this world from a bystander's perspective.

He saw clearly that the light, like a thunder dragon, completely destroyed a building that was more than ten meters high and covered an area of ​​more than three hundred square meters in just a few tenths of a second.

The people inside probably have no chance of survival, and as for those passing by nearby, how many of them will be carbonized by the high pressure just because they happen to pass by.

The lucky ones will probably survive and suffer from physical disabilities, while the unlucky ones will die directly.

In Enel's hands, human life is indeed just a number.

Eneel attacked from an unknown distance and even killed these people, but he didn't feel anything.

This is probably the source of the fear that makes people in this world afraid to even call out his name.

The so-called "God"...

Bai Cangshu recalled Shen Wulong's unique yoga breathing method.

He had never been able to do this before, because the essence of that breathing method was actually a special ability that allowed the cells themselves to start breathing, transforming humans into some kind of special creatures.

There is no need for breathing or heartbeat, and all nutrients are obtained by the cells themselves, with extremely low consumption.

Even if he didn't use that special reincarnation ability, Shen Wulong's lifespan would be much longer than that of an ordinary person.

Bai Cangshu's body at this time has completely surpassed the category of ordinary humans.

Whether it is the number, density, and strength of muscles, the number of bones, the number of joints, the strength of joints, the strength of internal organs, the toughness of cells, the strength of blood vessel walls...

Everything has completely surpassed the scope of ordinary humans.

Bai Cangzhu touched his own neck artery with his left hand, and a strong pressure appeared. Then, the blood supply to the heart slowly stopped, the heartbeat slowed down a little bit, and the breathing faded to almost disappear.

Bai Cangshu felt his vision go dark, but he controlled his body's instinct to breathe, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger, as if he wanted to kill himself.

Bai Cangshu kept recalling the feeling of being surrounded by rich vitality after his blood was cleansed, and all the cells in his body were awakened to breathe greedily.

He kept trying to activate that special "sense".

Call ~
In this special state, Bai Cangshu's vision and other senses were weakened, but correspondingly, his breathing rate and heart rate were reduced to an exaggerated frequency of about once every two minutes.

But Bai Cangshu was still not satisfied. He was not able to master Shen Wulong's special yoga breathing method. At this moment, this performance was just his body. According to this special situation, he had to change his body into a kind of [energy saving mode] effect.

Greatly reducing physical capabilities will result in a corresponding reduction in consumption of various aspects of the body, thereby achieving the effect of almost disappearing heartbeat and breathing.

Of course, Bai Cangzhu did this not simply to show off his physical characteristics.

He pushed open the door, walked to the block outside, and turned directly towards the collapsed block covered with huge leaves.

Eneel's [Heart Net] is an extremely powerful special observation Haki created by combining the observation Haki that some people on Sky Island naturally awaken with his own [Thunder Fruit] ability.

[Observation Haki], generally speaking, is the ability that allows the user to detect the movements of enemies outside of their field of vision, and in battle, allows the user to read the opponent's next move.

In the hands of Sky Island Priest and Eneel, they deepened the Observation Haki, and the ability that allows the user to perceive enemies outside of field of vision was further enhanced, turning it into a certain degree of farsightedness.

Several priests have the ability to "see" the enemy's tracks throughout the entire God's Island;
Eneel, on the other hand, can sense an entire country made up of several sky islands. Moreover, Eneel's ability is more terrifying and detailed, compared to the priests who need to use their abilities specifically to "see".

Enel's [Heart Net] is equivalent to a sensory instrument that is automatically turned on all day long, and can automatically capture abnormal movements and the existence of those who speak ill of him. This allows Enel to completely control the entire area no matter where he is, becoming a true [God] in a sense.

If Bai Cangshu wants to move freely, he must ensure that he can hide from Eneel's [Heart Net].

Therefore, Atractylodes macrocephala performed this seemingly ineffective act of "self-mutilation".

Bai Cangshu's steps were very light and very fast. At this moment, he was like a non-existent ghost in Eneel's mind network. As long as he didn't cause Eneel to actively look at him, he had, to a certain extent, gotten rid of the threat of Eneel.

Bai Cangshu came to the side near the sea, where the exquisite villas had completely collapsed. The reason for the collapse was not only lightning strikes, but also the collapse of an entire mountain. Mud and rocks poured down from the hillside hundreds of meters high and directly filled the sea.

And on top of the sloping mountain, vines that were so huge that they almost made people feel fear of giants fell on the mountain crookedly.

It was a huge vine with a leaf area of ​​nearly one hundred square meters, like the legendary cardamom vine that allows people to climb to the sky.

And on the fallen mountain, an equally huge snake fell on the ridge, and a huge golden fork nailed the snake firmly to the ridge.

Bai Cangshu guessed that the battle on that day was probably because the giant python named "Lord of the Sky" started rioting after falling from the sky, and was therefore killed by Eneel.

hiss~
Bai Cangshu heard a sound similar to the sound of wind, and his pupils shrank. This snake is not dead yet? !
You know, from Cindy's description, that terrible sky fall happened two years ago.

It is very likely that this snake fought with Eneel after the Golden Ark fell from the sky.

The other party has been nailed here for nearly two years, but he hasn't died completely yet?
Bai Cangshu's eyes flashed, and he took a step and lightly stepped onto the ruins of the hill that was once the land of [Gaya Island].

At this time, Bai Cangshu's heartbeat and breathing almost completely disappeared, and his movements were as light as a feather. When he stepped into this restricted area, he was completely like a non-existent creature.

With light footsteps, Bai Cangshu suddenly opened his arms. The short-term flying ability granted by the [Rakshasa Ghost] allowed him to float high up with the help of a tap of his feet and fly directly towards the mountains.

After a moment, Bai Cangshu landed near the neck of the giant python. He could now see clearly that the Lord of the Sky, who had lived for more than four hundred years, was not really dead yet. Just like all snakes, he was still surviving tenaciously.

Bai Cangshu stretched out his hand and pointed at the snake, and a strong energy began to condense.

"Can you please not kill it?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Bai Cangshu's pupils shrank.

Although his perception ability at this moment is not comparable to that of Observation Haki, it is no exaggeration to say that he can hear clearly a needle falling on the ground within ten meters.

But at this moment, the voice clearly appeared less than two meters behind Bai Cangshu.

Moreover, Bai Cangshu did not hear any sound of breathing, pulse, or heartbeat.

He didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could do such a thing. Bai Cangshu tensed his muscles and turned slowly. He saw that thick fog had spread over the sea behind him. In the fog, a looming figure was less than two meters away from him.

A special feeling appeared, and along with the thick fog, the temperature dropped a lot without anyone noticing.

Bai Cangshu's mind moved and he understood what he had encountered.

【spirit】……

"This is the first time I've met someone who isn't afraid of me..."

A gust of wind blew, and the thick fog completely enveloped Bai Cangshu. At this time, Bai Cangshu could inexplicably see the man's appearance clearly.

He had a brown ponytail and a navy hat worn on his head at an angle. He did not have the [Cloak of Justice] that was unique to generals and colonels on his back. It was obvious that his real military rank was not high.

"You are... the Chief Corey that Cindy mentioned?"

Bai Cangshu's calmness and sharpness seemed to stun the ghost navy for a moment. He smiled bitterly and spread out his hands.

"Ha~ You saw that little guy."

"Is she still healthy? I hope she lives well..."

Just as Bai Cangshu had predicted, and just as the little girl had feared, the navy captain who the girl said would one day bring reinforcements to save everyone had died at some point in time.

Bai Cangzhu lowered his eyebrows.

"She's okay."

Just as the ghost was about to relax, Bai Cangshu continued
"She followed the orders left by Chief Corey and insisted on rescuing many people who were injured by lightning. She hid in the sewers and went to the market every day to steal food to feed those people."

“At this moment, she’s still doing that.”

A strong wind suddenly blew in from the sea, stirring the white mist behind the man into almost no shape. The man's appearance was no longer stable, as if he would be torn apart by the wind at any time.

"she……"

"I just want her to live well..."

The ghost covered his face in the strong wind. He seemed to be crying loudly, but no sound came out.

In the strong wind, some kind of cold liquid was blown into Bai Cangshu's hand.

"She said that was Captain Cory's promise to Cindy's team members."

Bai Cangzhu added expressionlessly.

Corey thought back to his previous behavior and realized how weak and naive he was.

He was clearly just on a patrol mission when he discovered some abnormal signals, but somehow he approached this sea area and somehow he led his teammates to sneak into this island.

In the end, even while escaping, he did not forget to pretend to be a hero, and used a promise that could never be fulfilled now to make a young girl live a hard life in endless waiting and risking her life.

"I... am so weak!"

"I am too self-righteous."

He recalled that because of his talent, he got the opportunity to receive training at the Navy Headquarters, but he became too proud of himself and lost the chance to learn real skills. He returned to the branch with only some superficial knowledge, still dreaming of becoming a hero.

Only now did he dare to admit that it was not a coincidence at all. Every moment, he was fantasizing about finding a big crisis, then stepping forward to save everyone and become a hero like Vice Admiral Garp.

But the result... was that all of his friends turned into charred corpses...

He looked at Bai Cangshu, and suddenly took a step forward and raised his hands.

Bai Cangzhu's arm felt cold, and a very special touch appeared.

[You have completed the milestone: Soul Toucher (rare)]

[Spirit Toucher (Rare): You can sense the existence of spirits and touch them freely. Your attacks will no longer be exempted by spirit creatures, and your spirit strength will increase slightly.]

"Can you help me?"

"Please!"

[You triggered a hidden branch: an unattainable promise]
