Shocked!

fear!

Omega found himself frozen in place, failing to react immediately to the mental storm, leaving Lancer to face Tao Pai Pai alone.

The other person standing behind Omega was a dark-skinned man wearing a baseball cap. He had been responsible for observing and sniping from a distance during the previous battle with Squad 74960.

The Gauss sniper rifle was right in his hands, but he found that his hands were spasming and he couldn't lift it.

The man codenamed "Chief" felt his heart pounding. He felt all the muscles in his body contracting, and his skin and meridians were even shrinking to the point that it hurt.

I'm terrified. If I raise this gun, I'll die!
The thought clearly appeared in his mind, and at the same time, he began to feel ashamed of his cowardly thoughts. He had fantasized about doing the same thing when Fire Man sacrificed himself and jumped out of the window.

Without Lancer and the others supporting each other, most of the team would have died in the brutal mission long ago.

He thought he was prepared to sacrifice his life for these people.

But when he was actually only three or five meters away from a monster like Tao Pai Pai, he realized his cowardice.

He wanted to live, he really wanted to live!

He still wanted to return to the real world and see that person again...

The chief's right hand fingers twitched as if in pain, but he ultimately did not raise the Gauss sniper rifle to provide support.

Omega had no time to worry about the chief's condition. He knew he had to take action, otherwise, if Lancer was killed, no one else would be able to stand up to Tao Pai Pai.

This is not just about friendship, but also a rational choice.

Omega's eyes narrowed, and a surge of intense mental energy suddenly rushed towards Tao Pai Pai.

But when he looked up, he found that Tao Pai Pai had turned her head away at some point and was looking at him calmly.

The moment his eyes met those eyes, a powerful shock struck his mind and chest.

puff!
Omega's vision went black, blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and his body seemed to be struck by an invisible telekinetic force, crashing into a pillar inside the building.

A crimson phantom emerged from Tao Pai Pai's body, like a terrifying demonic shadow, rising from within him.

What exactly is that ability...?

What exactly is Tao Pai Pai's rank and type of reincarnation...?

Omega's eyes were red, and blood was also coming from his eye sockets.

Based on your mental strength, you have obtained the following information.

[You have been affected by active psychosis and are undergoing a psychiatric evaluation...]

If the test fails, you will suffer erosion.

You have been attacked by the omen of the evil god, the Gaze of Pride.

……

Omega stared at the message on the panel, still unable to believe that he had failed the mental strength test and been corrupted by Tao Pai Pai's ability. Could it be that the martial artist Tao Pai Pai was actually a reincarnator specializing in mental strength?!
The next moment, Omega began to feel the world before him become colorful and distorted, and he could no longer see the positions of his teammates.

Damn it, a strong sense of crisis surged into my heart. This ominous and desperate feeling was unprecedented, as if everything I cherished would disappear in the next second.

Omega suddenly shouted.

"You guys leave quickly!"

Then, high-frequency sound waves were emitted from his mouth, the sound instantly exceeding the frequency range that humans could accept, and he began to chant in a strange tone.

The air began to contract, and some dangerous force gathered in Omega's mouth.

Despite being scorched by the blazing flames, Lancer remained remarkably calm. His Nen energy erupted at that moment, forming a golden circle that acted as a barrier, directly enclosing Tao Pai Pai within it.

At the same time, various prayer spells began to continuously be added to his abilities.

The Swiftness of Cats

The Power of the Bear

[Enduring Strength]

The next moment, feeling that his power had reached its peak, the swords in his hands seemed to disappear, and hundreds of sword lights appeared at the same time.

Each sword light slashed at Bai Cangshu from a different angle within the circle, so fast that it was as if they were all slashing at the same time.

Lancer's enhanced abilities are extremely diverse. He is not the type who receives high praise or obtains a powerful ability in a certain world and then rises to prominence smoothly.

Lancer is the type who almost always fights to the death with the enemy in every mission, barely surviving until the very last moment, and then uses the resources at his disposal to do everything he can to stay alive.

Therefore, he learns whatever abilities he can get his hands on. When he enters the Hunter world, he seeks to awaken Nen; when he enters the magic world, he seeks to cast spells; and when he enters a world where gods exist, he seeks to use the power of prayer.

Because survival was so difficult, he cherished the lives of others even more. He did his best to protect every companion and would not waste their sacrifice.

Lancer's Nen ability is called "The Circle That Cannot Be Perfected." Its effect is very simple: after he shrinks his "circle" to a small enough size, his Nen completely fills the circle's area. Any target that enters this area will be instantly struck by his sword.

It is a Nen ability with the characteristics of guaranteed hit and super speed.

Similarly, he was able to acquire this ability not because of his talent or ability.

Rather, it was a Nen ability that he forcibly created by learning the domain and swordsmanship of a swordsman he admired in a cruel world.

Lancer suddenly realized that even though his mind worked very quickly, he shouldn't have fallen into this state during the battle.

Furthermore, why hasn't Omega's [Banshee's Howl] been used yet?

As Lancer's sword flashed, he glanced to the other side and saw a large, scarlet snake piercing Omega's throat.

This quick-witted and intelligent man, who was very good at uncovering hidden rewards in the story world, was nailed to a pillar, convulsing, with blood constantly oozing from his mouth and nose. He was clearly not going to survive.

The Chief, this robust sniper, simply stood there, his eyes vacant, his hands trembling, making no move.

Damn!

In his shock and anger, Lancer suddenly saw Tao Pai Pai still tilting her head and looking at him, her figure flickering like a phantom within his circle.

None of those hundreds of sword lights hit their mark?!

"How can it be……"

No matter how fast you are, it's impossible to dodge so many slashes within your own circle. These slashes are incredibly fast and always hit!

Bai Cangshu clearly realized that his combat power had far surpassed that of these reincarnators who should theoretically be on the same level as him.

Whether it's the Nen user in front of me or the mental manipulator, both of them should have crossed the first tier of attribute limits, but in terms of the level of a single attribute or the quantity and quality of their abilities, they are completely incomparable to me.

"Within the circle formed by your Nen abilities, there will always be an empty space, won't there?"

Bai Cangshu, like a patient teacher, explained to Lancer how he managed to stand in the circle without being struck.

In the past, Bai Cangshu would have likely resorted to brute force by using his immortality to revive and then instantly kill the opponent when faced with this ability.

However, after the [Overlimit Spiral] entered the second stage, he became extremely sensitive to energy, and could even directly observe the essence of energy with the naked eye.

In his eyes, the "circle" of this reincarnator always contained a void, and that void kept changing position, but the speed was not considered miraculous to him.

Therefore, Bai Cangshu merely used his speed and Wind God Leg technique to maintain his position in that open space, causing the attacks to land on empty air. Clang!
Amidst the clanging of metal, Bai Cangshu suddenly gripped the heavy sword in front of him with his left hand.

Lancer's sword momentum was instantly cleared.

At this moment, Lancer felt the insurmountable gap between himself and Tao Pai Pai. It wasn't just about attributes and abilities; in terms of combat and mentality alone, he was completely incomparable to this monster who didn't show any emotion when killing.

“Answer me, how did you obtain this heart…”

Bai Cangshu extended his right hand to Lanse, holding a heart that had slowly stopped beating. The next moment, the heart slowly turned into a scarlet glow and disappeared.

Lancer knew that everything that belonged to Fireman had been taken away.

He tried to draw his greatsword, but Tao Pai Pai's power was overwhelmingly strong. He lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and knew that today was probably the day the White Sanctuary would be destroyed.

Then, Lancer suddenly raised his head, looked at Bai Cangshu, and gave him a mocking look.

"You've never had one of those things before, have you, Tao Pai Pai..."

"The kind of resolve to let others live even if it means dying yourself."

"The awareness that even if I die, others should be happy."

"Even if I die... that feeling of my heart and blood burning, completely devoid of fear... you monster, you can't feel that, can you? Hah~"

Lancer's voice grew louder and louder, eventually becoming shrill.

The next moment, Lancer's long hair rose up, revealing the strange silver-white mechanical parts on his neck. Lancer then pressed the switch at the top of the triangular mechanical parts with his backhand.

This is……

Bai Cangshu was still pondering the meaning behind the other party's words. The reason he didn't instantly kill this group of people was that he was indeed trying to learn how such strong emotions arose among them.

Before the Fire Man died, he unusually sensed the same fervor that Corey and Kageyama felt before their deaths.

But at this moment, Lancer revealed another quality.

A powerful "magic" emanated from his body. This magic was unlike any that Bai Cangshu had ever experienced before; it was more like a strange biological force.

Moreover... this Lancer was a bit unexpected to him. The other party's avatar was in the form of a man, and his words and actions were completely flawless, but the true nature of his abilities came from the witch enhancement in [Brynhildr in the Darkness].

This contrast gave her the opportunity to demonstrate her abilities.

She floated up from the air, pointing one finger at Omega, who was nailed to the pillar, and said...
"You will be born because of the lives taken from others."

Then, she pointed to Bai Cangshu with her other finger and said...

"And you will die because you have taken too many lives."

At this moment, Lancer seemed like a witch uttering a decree. After she spoke, her magic caused a huge tremor in space, and some mysterious power began to take effect.

The next moment, Omega, who should have been dead, began to tremble again.

At the same time, Lancer's face also turned quite pale. She looked at Tao Pai Pai, thinking that as long as she could kill Tao Pai Pai before she died, everything would be worth it.

Unfortunately, Tao Pai Pai did not react at all.

Above Bai Cangshu's head, a shattered crown gleamed brightly. [Fragment of Authority - Destiny] Bai Cangshu could now significantly weaken or exempt abilities of the Fate side.

Seeing that her abilities were failing, Lancer's magic suddenly began to collapse, and the insect-like magic began to dissolve her body.

Bai Cangshu reached out and pointed, and golden light instantly pierced through her brow.

[You killed Reincarnator BU72280356, sin points +1]

"No, no, no, no... no!"

Having just been resurrected, Omega saw Lancer fall lifelessly from the sky, and filled with despair, he opened his mouth to use Banshee's Howl again.

boom!
A gunshot rang out suddenly, and Omega stared blankly at his neck, where a neat hole appeared.

The Chief, who was holding a Gauss sniper rifle, slowly lowered the gun and knelt down in front of Tao Pai Pai.

Upon witnessing this scene, Omega coughed up a large amount of blood from his mouth and nose, and, unable to say anything more, collapsed as well.

Bai Cangshu lowered his eyelids, and the curiosity that had just arisen in his heart because of the beating "hearts" of this group of people slowly dissipated.

Ultimately, humans are just that kind of creature.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, I can give you everything I own, and I can even show you the locations of other people. I can do anything for you, whatever you need..."

boom!
Bai Cangshu turned around indifferently, and the crimson tentacles of the [Great Sin - Excessive Slaughter] directly shattered the head of the dark-skinned man.

[You killed Reincarnator JV10447933, sin points +1]

"Tsk, what a bold guy, trying to steal my kill..."

Bai Cangshu spoke words that were hard to discern as true or false as he approached the Reincarnator by the wall, whose throat had been blasted open and who was on the verge of death.

Place one hand on the other person's forehead.

"Would you be happy if you and she died in the same way?"

Bai Cangshu asked.

Omega closed her eyes and smiled.

That was... a smile.

puff!
[You killed Reincarnator IJ40331765, sin points +1]

Three crimson drop cards, shimmering with golden light, slowly coalesced in front of Bai Cangshu, who then collected them one by one.

He looked at the spot where the man he had killed, who was now smiling, had been pinned down, and reached out to touch it. There, it seemed, was still slightly warm.

Is this what is meant by "heart"?

Roar!
Amidst the beast's roar, its dorsal fins once again shone with a terrifying light.

boom!
A massive breath swept across Tokyo, and the next moment, a white shockwave pierced the air and struck the giant beast directly on the head.

"what!"

A terrifying scream then erupted.

It was like a thunderclap, or like a cannon blast.

The terrifying explosion ripped off right next to the giant beast's head, instantly bringing the hundred-meter-tall creature to its knees.

Bai Cangshu stood beside its head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw many members of the Black Ball Squad appear. These people were all holding various high-tech weapons and aiming at the giant beast or themselves.

Bai Cangshu raised his head. Humans are such complex creatures; even multifaceted aliens find them ultimately simple.

The next moment, boundless killing intent erupted, completely enveloping the giant beast and the few closest members of the black ball squad.

Bai Cangshu removed the restriction, and a violent killing intent began to spread.

[Instant Death]!
