Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 453 The Chosen Ones of Ancient Gods (3K+)

[You have consumed a piece of specially cooked behemoth meat. Ingredient level: Excellent; Deliciousness level: Superb]

[Gourmet Cells have grown significantly, currently at Lv2 (128/200)]

[Milestone - Gourmet Triggered: You have gained a temporary buff - Atomic Reaction (Extremely Rare), lasting 10 minutes.]

[Atomic Reactions (Extremely Rare): You can gain energy from nuclear reactions and obtain immunity to radiation.]

Bai Cangshu chewed on the giant beast meat in his mouth. After being processed by the [Cook] ability, the meat became very delicious and chewy.

The muscle fibers appear to be far stiffer than those of ordinary creatures. Bai Cangshu is unsure whether Godzilla truly exists in this world, or if the information about the Multifaceted aliens creating such a behemoth comes from other extraterrestrials.

This race, which considers itself to have transcended the level of ordinary life, merely repelled the Four-Eyed Aliens' attack and did not choose to exterminate them.

However, because the four-eyed aliens were about to attack Earth, the Earthlings chose to send the least advanced technology capable of repelling them—Gantz—to Earthlings before the four-eyed aliens arrived.

They don't care about the survival of Earthlings, yet they intervene in everything; this behavior is less like that of a protector.

Rather, the multifaceted aliens are more like conservation experts in a zoo or botanical garden. They protect every race that might be wiped out, but without interfering too much.

Bai Cangshu was roasting meat in the Prime Minister's residence, oblivious to everyone else, when he suddenly noticed a group of voices appearing out of nowhere four kilometers away.

With just a slight sense of it, he knew that Gantz was teleporting the squad over.

The large-scale hunt for Reincarnation Star people was most likely issued by the Multifaceted Star people, with the aim of creating chaos or allowing them to make contact with the Reincarnators.

Bai Cangshu noticed that this batch all had Asian faces, and knew that it was highly likely that someone close to the Japanese Prime Minister had leaked the information.

The tycoons who control the black ball are using this method to try to retaliate against and stop themselves.

Bai Cangshu casually pointed out, and a wave of energy burst forth, killing a person several kilometers away.

Then various booming sounds could be heard continuously.

It seems that the group couldn't find their way and was firing wildly with their powerful weapons.

"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao!"

"The list is out!"

At this moment, Suga Hideto and his secretary entered the conference room. Both of them seemed oblivious to the dismantled table and burned documents, and also appeared to have been unaffected by the security forces' warnings, making no mention of the men in black appearing outside the official residence.

Bai Cangshu only glanced at the list. The Kujo, Fujiwara, and Tachibana families were marked as the most suspicious. Below them were several other families with slightly less suspicion. The thick analysis booklet was placed below the list.

But Bai Cangshu didn't care about those things. He only needed to find one family. Whether he killed too few, too many, or even the wrong people, it was none of his business.

After obtaining the detailed location, Bai Cangshu immediately bent his knees and leaped into the air, crashing through the roof of the official residence with a bang and flying into the sky.

Standing in the conference room, watching this scene, Suga Hideto remained silent for a long time. When Superman actually appeared and clearly had no goodwill towards humanity, he instinctively began to feel fear.

Bai Cangshu soared into the air and saw a large group of Gantz members in enhanced suits firing at the official residence from the fields. The security forces that came after hearing the noise had already suffered heavy casualties.

Human conventional weapons are insurmountably outmatched by Gantz technology; even the most basic enhanced suits can ignore a considerable number of bullets.

Conversely, the guns provided by Gantz would basically result in severed limbs or death for ordinary people if they were grazed by them.

These people cheered with pleasure at killing the weak, and were even more excited about being able to openly storm the location of high-ranking government officials.

Bai Cangshu stopped in mid-air, looked at the crowd below, but ultimately did nothing. With the sonic boom cloud exploding, he flew away from the sky with a roar.

Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, her premonition of danger almost exploded. Tao Pai Pai was right above her head. If her identity as a reincarnator were discovered at that moment, it would almost certainly mean certain death.

But it seems I'm quite lucky.

"Alright, get up, everyone. That guy's probably gone to find the people who control Gantz. Soon, that black sphere will probably lose its effect..."

Kei Kurono remained lying down, touching his powerful equipment and recalling his past life-or-death battles with various aliens, as well as those who had died in those battles.

So... it was all just a game designed by those wealthy tycoons and conglomerates...?

Kei Kurono raised his head. At this moment, the young man, whose sharpness had long been worn down by life, was filled with rage in his eyes. It was as if Masaru Kato, who saw this look, thought that the omnipotent Kei Kurono from his youth had returned to this body.

……

Bai Cangshu rode on Ace's single-person boat, gliding through the air over Tokyo. The city had been nearly half destroyed by the battles between the reincarnators, and the remaining areas were now largely under martial law.

Bai Cangshu could see that there were still many zombie-like creatures moving around in the area sealed off by the army. These zombies were most likely being controlled by something and were not blindly attacking the army's defenses.

Instead, they seem to have settled down in areas like Shibuya.

In other parts of Tokyo, things were far from peaceful. The impending nuclear explosion and the subsequent horrific disasters had instilled extreme fear in humanity.

The neighborhood was completely blocked by fleeing cars, and people who had lost their means of transportation carried backpacks and food in large numbers, trying to make their way to more remote rural areas.

However, the main roads had been blocked by the government, and the number of people who had left their own communities and were now stuck in these unfamiliar areas was growing, eventually leading to terrible chaos.

Everywhere you could hear heart-wrenching cries.

In that moment of despair, Bai Cangshu suddenly sensed a special power.

That power felt both familiar and strange to him. Bai Cangshu pondered for a moment, then retrieved from his backpack a source remarkably similar to that feeling—the [Crown of the Outer Gods]!
This item, which allowed Hakusou to almost directly borrow the power of Inari in the world of B711, was now radiating light.

The Crown of the Outer Gods

【Quality: Exquisitely Rare】

[Description: A crown of faith embodying the will of the gods, a crown that represents the gods on earth.]

【Effect 1: When worn, grants the temporary trait "Divine Will" - the ability to pray to deities. Depending on the world level and the deity's authority, it can bestow weak to moderate divine power.】

[Effect 2: When worn, you will be regarded as a follower by any member of the Outer God Abode, and your reputation will receive an additional 100% increase.]

[Effect 3: In worlds where members of the Outer Gods' Abnormal Abode descend, wearing this crown will make one the "Outer Gods' Patriarch," granting them control over reincarnated members and story characters of that faction.]

[Effect 4: God-like Being (1/5), the set is not complete, and the power of the Outer God cannot be used temporarily]

The item emitted a glow, and Bai Cangshu, looking at effects 2 and 3, understood the reason.

When he killed the captain of the White Sanctuary, he did notice the strange tree and the magic circle, but he didn't sense any special power at the time, so he didn't realize that it was also a ritual of the Outer God.

In this world, the White Sanctuary used rituals to guide the gaze and power of an Outer God.

Bai Cangshu thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he placed the crown on his head again.

[You have used the item - Crown of the Outer Gods]

[You have gained the temporary trait: Divine Thoughts]

You have gained the gaze of the Outer Gods, the Ancient Gods, and will be regarded as their follower. You have gained control over the Others and wights.

[You have become the leader of the hidden faction, Outer God Abode, in this world. You will be regarded as the patriarch of the Outer Gods. You have gained control over the reincarnated members and story characters of this faction, and you can locate them.]

[You have initiated a new faction event: The Chill of the Ancient Gods]

……

After Bai Cangshu put on the crown, he suddenly sensed a lot of auras. This [Ancient Otherworldly God] was much stronger than that useless fox otherworldly god.

The Reincarnator merely initiated a ritual in this world, creating a few Others. He could then freely exploit the vast amount of death and despair in this world to guide many people to become his followers, and continue to increase the rituals, gradually descending upon the world.

Bai Cangshu sensed the key points of the rituals, his expression unreadable. He simply landed on the ground, raised his finger, and a chilling aura began to spread from his hand.

Winter is coming

A moment later, several White Walkers, their bodies seemingly frozen in ice, emerged from the ruins of Tokyo, followed by a large number of wights.
-
In a certain place in Shinjuku, the expressions of two reincarnators dressed in ceremonial robes suddenly changed drastically.

You have triggered an faction event: the summons of the Outer Gods' leader.

[Event Description: Tao Pai Pai, the Outer God's patriarch and a chosen one of the ancient Outer Gods, has descended. All faction members are summoned to the target location.]

[Success Reward: Slight increase in reputation]

[Failure Penalty: Reputation greatly reduced]

"What the hell?! The Outer Gods' founder, Tao Pai Pai?!"

Following Lancer's orders, the two secretly set up a ritual outside Tokyo to guide the will of the ancient alien god, and their reputation was about to unlock the reputation shop.

Suddenly, a notification appeared: the leader of the hidden faction, Outer God Abode, had appeared and was summoning all Outer God Abode members to a designated coordinate.

The two exchanged a glance. This coordinate was definitely not a place to go, and they probably couldn't even stay in the Outer God Abode camp.

"Let's go, we have no choice but to flee abroad!"

Before leaving, the two men frowned as they looked at the people bound in the room, picked up a piece of dragon crystal, and walked towards them.

"Looks like there's no chance of creating a Night King. Maybe we should just kill these guys..."

The reincarnators speak of killing without any psychological burden.

The bound men immediately shook their heads in fear.

"No, don't kill me, I have children... They'll be scared if they don't see me..."

A woman's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but the reincarnator holding the dragon crystal showed no mercy and was ready to kill her at will, but the woman kept trembling.

"Then please turn me into a monster, even if I become a monster, I still want to..."

puff!
The dragon crystal pierced the woman's heart, and her once burning heart instantly turned cold. Accompanied by eerie magical chanting, the blood in her entire body began to chill.

A chill began to spread. [Evil Technique] and [Cold Color] exchanged a glance, both feeling that there was a chance for transformation this time, but considering that their coordinates had already been exposed to Tao Pai Pai.

Unwilling to continue their research, the two turned and fled the scene.

The woman was left watching the world turn icy blue. In despair, she reached out her hand, but the two men who had taken everything from her didn't even glance at her, let alone show any pity or regret.

"I... I hate it so much."
