Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 205 Roland's Death, Card Virtue

In the sky behind Luffy, the time illusion created by Ubik is still continuing. In the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Roland, who is on the verge of death, is covered in blood. He looks at his teammates in despair as they turn into scarlet drop cards. The [Morning Star of Hope] dies. He looks at the [Overlord's Egg] that appeared in his hand at some point, and because of the violent beating of his heart, the Overlord's Egg quickly hatches.

Then the underworld descended, and Roland became the Hand of God in his great sin. Guts, who came hurriedly, looked at this scene in despair.

Guts put down the [Dragon Slaying Sword] painfully, with an expression that seemed like crying and laughing. It turned out that he had never escaped the deception of the [God of the Abyss]. After Griffith, another of his close friends activated the [Overlord's Egg] as if by fate.

When the new Eclipse fell, Guts accepted everything calmly. He did not resist anymore. After leaving behind the pitch-black dragon-slaying sword, Guts took the initiative to jump into the vortex of the underworld and disappeared.

Afterwards, [God's Hand·Roland] corroded everyone on Sky Island until the Black King·Luffy arrived and killed everyone, ending this tragedy.

The real Roland should have died at that time, but his obsession made him a target for the [God of the Abyss] to use, or in other words, even Roland's obsession was within the [Law of Cause and Effect].

It is precisely because Roland is an extremely idealistic and pure good person, who holds the desire to give everyone a happy ending, that he plunges into the [Berserk Saga Spin-off World] and wants to give Guts a good ending, so he is targeted by the [God of the Abyss].

Because you are good, you are coveted by evil;
Because of hope, one eventually falls into despair.

The one who couldn't escape the "Law of Causality" was not Guts, but himself...

Roland smiled as if he understood everything, but that smile was more painful than crying.

Luffy looked at this kind-hearted good man with such an expression, and the veins on his forehead bulged out. This damn space, those damn worlds, always make these good people suffer, but those evil people, on the contrary, have no regrets even in death.

There is a strong sense of hostility in him. There is no trace of the innocence and purity he once had in the Black King Luffy. The young man who laughed loudly and wanted to be the freest boy on the sea has died in countless worlds. What is left is a king of revenge who wants to destroy everything with violence.

More vicious and more brutal than those who have returned to the Pure Land.

With a cold snort, Luffy turned his head, his long black hair swinging, and the domineering aura once again wrapped around his body.

Roland looked at Luffy who was leaving him, and he once again remembered that on Sky Island, after the other party killed him, he left so decisively. Perhaps, in the heart of this former boy, after experiencing countless losses, every loss was like another cut in his heart.

And his own desire to be alive even though he was still alive, his persistent desire to strike the God of the Abyss with a knife, was, in a sense, like stabbing the other party's heart repeatedly.

He was forcing Luffy to kill his friend once again.

"what……"

Roland looked at his own dark spirit. The cloth covering his head was his hometown, the shroud that covered the body of the deceased before death. Looking down, his spirit was already riddled with holes and eroded beyond recognition by the hand of God.

The [God of the Abyss] will not directly control himself. He just sees all his possibilities, so he knows what kind of choices he will make based on his personality. Therefore, the [God of the Abyss] only needs a little arrangement to make himself think that he is achieving his goal while acting according to his heart.

Roland looked at the demons from the underworld and the shattered Skold Island. He suddenly realized that he had once again caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Taking into account the nearly 10 million people who disappeared in Alabasta, he might be more vicious and cruel than the Reincarnators who did those terrible things to Luffy.

Roland looked at his hands, which were covered in blood.

He looked at Luffy who was about to walk towards Bai Cangshu and suddenly said
"Luffy."

Luffy stopped. This name already felt a little strange to him. He remembered that only these friends and the companions in his memories would call him like this.

Others, the navy and pirates once called themselves the Straw Hat Boys, and later the reincarnations all called themselves "that guy" or "the one from the Black King Society"...

He turned around and looked through the entrance to the netherworld that he had broken. Under the light, Roland seemed to have returned to his former appearance, with blond hair and a simple and ideal look.

"Say my apologies to the captain and everyone else for me."

"This time, I'm the one causing trouble for everyone." Luffy's pupils trembled, and his heart felt the warm feeling again after a long time.

Roland burst into tears. At this moment, there was no regret or resentment in his spirit anymore.

"Since joining Qingkong, I... have no regrets."

hum!
Roland's spirit stretched out, and on the other side, a white light suddenly lit up in Bai Cangshu's body.

Luffy became aware of his body and subconsciously wanted to raise his right arm, but he quickly forced himself to hold it back.

[The determination of a companion should be carried out even if it means death]

In Bai Cangshu's sea of ​​consciousness, Gojo Satoru looked at the incomplete spirit that suddenly emitted a bright white light. In an instant, he formed a seal with his hand, ready to activate the domain. However, the white spirit was originally illusory. As soon as it emitted light, it turned into white mist and dissipated on the [Throne of Heart].

Bai Cangshu was enjoying the killing when he suddenly found that his body began to glow and a strong soul fluctuation appeared. Turning back, he found that the half of Roland's soul that was eroded by the Hand of God had pounced on him.

Bai Cangzhu instinctively raised his right hand.

puff!
He did not need to use any abilities as he already possessed the ability to touch and attack spirits. The spirit that was rushing towards him was completely defenseless and opened its arms, allowing Bai Cangshu's right hand to pierce through its chest.

Bai Cangshu's pupils shrank when he saw Roland's relieved smile.

Through Roland's transparent spirit, the Black King in the distance could be seen with his long hair flying. His dark domineering aura was constantly attacking all directions. His eyes were sad and slowly closed.

"you……"

Roland looked at the ugly incarnation of Bai Cangzhu and said nothing, then disappeared into the wind.

A card glowing white slowly condensed in Bai Cangshu's right hand. It was the last thing Roland left in this world. His reincarnation body had long been dead, and even the scarlet drop card did not appear.

[You have obtained a special item, Card Virtue]
