Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 404 The Power of Fatalism
Bai Cangshu had already realized from Kageyama Shigeo's reaction when he saw himself and Saitama that there must be some problem with his existence or "identity".

Initially, he was inclined to believe that either [Eternal Destiny] or [The Sage] had done something to incite Shigeo Kageyama, one of the world's top combatants, to harbor resentment towards him.

However, there are some aspects of this speculation that are difficult to understand.

For example, why myself?

Bai Cangshu never underestimated himself, but he was also well aware that his strength was not yet strong enough to attract the special attention of those titled reincarnators or even the [Supreme Strongest].

However, the appearance of [Eternal Destiny] completely overturned this conjecture. If he was really that important, the other party should have attacked him directly when he appeared in the sight of Eternal Destiny.

Clearly, that supreme expert had no intention of killing him.

Even... when he was caught up in the spirit world, the other party intervened to stop Shigeo Kageyama's plan to kill him immediately.

In the desert, the sun was intense. It seemed that Shigeo Kageyama hadn't felt the sun in a long time. He stood on the desert, his bare feet on the sand, and he became unusually quiet, without making any movement.

Tornado stood in front of Bai Cangshu, the green-haired girl looking serious as she constantly sensed the movements in other areas.

Facing two opponents of the same caliber, even the arrogant Tatsumaki had to take things seriously.

Compared to the tornado, Bai Cangshu was much calmer at this moment.

He even smiled. Although his physical injuries were improving, the feeling of being squeezed had not disappeared. Even after leaving the Spirit World, Shigeo Kageyama's power would not weaken much.

Chila!

Red and black lightning emanated from Bai Cangshu's body, and a powerful aura was rising. This was an unconscious manifestation of Bai Cangshu's madness as he realized that he had grasped the key to this chaotic game.

Yes, at this moment, even though he was the weakest one present, even though Shigeo Kageyama could kill him, his aura only grew stronger.

Because he realized the truth of the matter.

Bai Cangshu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and as his heartbeat quickened and his blood flowed faster, his hair began to grow, thick and long hair hanging down from behind him.

Thump thump thump... thud!

The rapid heartbeats disappeared completely after the last, violent heartbeat.

A flood of information began to pour in from all around. Bai Cangshu felt every pore on his body open up: the heat of the air, the scorching sand, the currents flowing beneath the desert, the distant wails of spirits…

Even dozens of kilometers away, the city echoed with screams of terror from the previous carnage.

The information kept flowing into Bai Cangshu's brain.

As Bai Cangshu breathed, a slight throbbing pain shot through his brain. The "Perfect Individual" was originally just a characteristic that allowed him to manipulate his own muscles, bones, and internal organs, but at this moment, in that state of complete understanding, Bai Cangshu began to subconsciously comprehend Gojo Satoru's soul…

Within his unseen body, the invisible spiral began to rotate.

Bai Cangshu's eyes slowly changed, and as he blinked, a blue-white luster began to ripple from his pupils.

[You have activated the Overlimit Spiral - First Spin]

Bai Cangshu took a step forward, directly traversing space and appearing in front of Long Juan.

Tornado raised an eyebrow, focusing her attention on this weak "nameless hero" for the first time.

"You...you're not doing something bad, are you...?"

Tornado has a terrible temper, but she is quite clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle. Even though she doesn't really appreciate Tao Pai Pai's so-called heroic behavior, she is ultimately a hero.

Therefore, after that disgusting and powerful enemy was inexplicably pierced by a golden-white wave and disappeared across space, Tatsumaki did not pursue him.

Instead, he returned directly to the Spirit Realm to prepare to rescue Tao Pai Pai and that bald caped man.

"Heh, heh heh... Hahahaha..."

"I'm fine, Miss Tornado, I'm starting to understand everything..."

Bai Cangshu turned around, his eyes seemingly swirling with white clouds. The power of the surrounding spirits became crystal clear to him, including the terrifying phantom swirling around Kageyama Shigeo's body, which appeared to be about to devour the entire world. In this state, Bai Cangshu even felt his thoughts operating beyond their limits.

The moment a thought arises, one has already followed this logic to complete all the thinking along this line of thought and opened up new ideas.

With this newfound ability to think, Bai Cangshu instantly connected all the previous events.

His carefree expression finally brought Shigeo Kageyama, who was reaching out to feel the vitality of the living world, back to his senses.

He pinched it again with his hand.

puff!
Bai Cangshu's health had just improved when his chest cavity ruptured again.

But Bai Cangshu acted as if it weren't his own body; he had already moved the important organs in his chest cavity to a higher position.

Although the blow impaired his lower limb mobility, it did not affect his thinking or language abilities at all.

Bai Cangshu covered his forehead, still smiling, growing increasingly confident and fearless.

Because he has discovered the "essence" of this mission world. Although everyone has their own needs, it seems that any one of these powerful individuals can arbitrarily reshape the world.

But ultimately, there are always limitations.

Where there is desire, there will be limitations; this is true of Shigeo Kageyama and Eternal Destiny.

When there are concerns, there will be limitations; this is true of tornadoes.

He has no desires and no scruples, but because of his overwhelming power, a new limitation arises—the "nothingness" faced by those at the level of absolute invincibility, and Saitama is one of them.

Bai Cangshu's confidence in his survival stemmed from this.

At this very moment, among the few beings here who possess the power to decide his life or death, only half a person wants to kill him…

Saitama won't kill himself because he is a "hero" and a "human being".

Tornado wouldn't kill him because he was the "hero" Fubuki was looking for, and the people he brought risked their lives to save Fubuki.

Eternal Destiny will not kill himself either, because if he dies, the basis for the battle between Shigeo Kageyama and Saitama will disappear; this supreme being who is hostile to Shigeo Hakusou will not only not kill Shigeo Hakusou, but will also try his best to keep Shigeo Hakusou alive in front of Shigeo Kageyama!

Whether it's directly throwing Hakusou into the depths of the Spirit World to stop Shigeo Kageyama, or voluntarily giving up the fight with Tatsumaki and luring Tatsumaki back to help, the logic is the same.

Only Shigeo Kageyama, this fragile, kind, strong, and chaotic boy, this boy who wanted to sacrifice himself to save the souls of the world, probably did indeed harbor half a heart to kill Shiraishu.

It is still very uncertain.

Bai Cangshu raised his head. At this moment, he felt that his vision was even more lofty than in the [Divine Thought] state.

It's a vision that seems to grasp the trajectory of everyone's actions and anchor an absolute line of destiny within it.

Even if the strength is weak, as long as it follows this line, no matter how powerful the force is, it can only become a stream that propels it forward.

As Shigeo Kageyama watched as Hakusou's demeanor grew increasingly similar to that of the "fatalist" figure he had seen, he roared and clenched his fists.

boom!
The world seemed to have been frozen in time: the enraged Shigeo Kageyama, the pitch-black shadows covering the sky, the tornado that suddenly unleashed its superpowers after just raising its hand, and...

Standing among the group, Bai Cangshu, with his long black hair flying wildly and a calm, smiling expression, froze.

A fist wearing a red glove suddenly emerged from it, and with a cracking sound, the spirit world and the real world shattered together.

Saitama emerged from the pitch-black void, running unharmed, though he seemed unaware of how far he had been thrown, hence his continued running.

The spirit world and reality shattered, and like a black hole, it began to devour the desert. Shigeo Kageyama frowned, grabbed the shattered entrance to the spirit world with both hands, and a huge phantom fell behind him. The spirit world gradually began to mend itself.

Saitama suddenly turned his head to look at a certain place, about to throw a punch, when a figure immediately appeared from it.

"Hehe, Mr. Saitama, this punch won't be necessary..."
