I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

In an instant, the spatial burst began to expand and explode from the man's body.

Then, streaks of purple electricity, tearing through space, spread out at lightning speed.

The "Boundary Collapse" move is a deadly technique that can target specific bombing locations.

Duanmu Lian crushed the Collapse Jade in her hand, which also detonated the space where the Reincarnation Apostle was located, causing spatial tremors and spatial tearing.

Currently, the Reincarnation Apostles within the spatial blast radius have suffered heavy casualties.

However, where the remains of the Reincarnation Apostles had vanished, a strange scarecrow and a cross appeared in the same spot.

This is the scapegoat and the rebirth cross.

The former can take the fatal blow for oneself, while the latter can bring the dead back to life.

Mikasa and one of the Reincarnation Apostles appeared outside the spatial burst, their faces deathly pale.

But before they could catch their breath, their vision suddenly became dizzy.

"Duanmu Dayao".

Liu Zi brought the two severed heads to Duanmu Lian and handed them to him.

Duanmu Lian calmly accepted the still-conscious head and directly extracted its soul using the Human Emperor Banner.

Having a backup plan isn't just something the Samsara Apostles have. If the opponent has something to protect themselves, Duanmu Lian also has Liu Zi to finish them off.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!!"

On the other side, intense gunfire erupted from Tokisaki Kurumi's side, before quickly subsiding.

Before long, the other party dragged the transformed Abomination and a Transformed Four-Character Reincarnator and threw them in front of Duanmu Lian.

"Duanmu-jun, have you obtained their memories?"

Seeing Duanmu Lian fiddling with the sinister purple banner, Tokisaki Kurumi asked.

Their attack on the Reincarnation Apostles was to find out what kind of power was behind them.

"There is a restriction in the soul, and it will take some time to break it."

Duanmu Lian manipulated the Human Emperor Banner, carefully analyzing the souls of the reincarnation apostles within, attempting to obtain their memories.

But during this process, he sensed the markings and restrictions within their souls.

"Then let me give it a try, Zafkiel Tenth Bullet!"

Upon hearing that the souls of the Reincarnation Apostles were bound by restrictions, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately raised her gun, aimed at the two Reincarnation Apostles beneath her, and fired, hitting them.

However, this attack did not cause any damage.

Because the effect of the tenth bullet is to convey the memory of hitting the target in the past.

Unlike Duanmu Lian, who uses magnetic field power and soul power to probe memories, Tokisaki Kurumi uses the power of time to read memories.

Each person's time is itself a kind of memory, but others cannot easily access it.

Through Zafkiel's Tenth Bullet, Kurumi Tokisaki obtained information about the Tower of Reincarnation and passed it on to Duanmu Lian.

.........

Samsara Tower.

A special space that stands above unknown dimensions and the multiverse.

Just like its name suggests, its complete form is a colossal tower that has existed eternally in the boundless void.

The Tower of Reincarnation has nine floors.

Each level has an infinite domain space, and the strength of the reincarnation apostles existing on each level is also different.

Most of the reincarnation apostles are trying to climb to a higher level.

Because the world above and the world below are completely different, the scenery you can see and the amount of benefits you can gain are all different.

Here, only a very small number of reincarnation apostles are content, but the vast majority are reincarnation apostles with an insatiable drive for progress.

Because none of them can feel at ease!

If someone is about as strong as you or even stronger than you, then stopping your efforts to become stronger is tantamount to being controlled by them and falling behind!

In the Tower of Reincarnation, reincarnation apostles who lack ambition will eventually be eliminated.

Simply put, it means—if you can't win, then die!

"What happened!? How did Mikasa die!?"

At this moment, in the Infinite Realm of the fourth level of the Tower of Reincarnation, in a guild formed by a group of Reincarnation Apostles.

A woman with long, blonde hair stared at the virtual panel in front of her, where Mikasa's name had turned completely gray and black, and let out a furious roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

It's important to know that Mikasa is a promising newcomer belonging to the Valkyrie and a disciple she highly regards.

If the other party had not perished and had continued to grow, they would definitely have been able to climb to the fourth rank and reach the fourth level of the Infinite Realm of the Reincarnation Tower where they were located.

"Guild Master Olivia! The public quest panel has refreshed with quests. Something happened in the dungeon world Mikasa went to! Look quickly!!!"

A girl with a full head of silver hair and snow-white skin rushed over in a hurry.

The woman, referred to as President Olivia, was furious and was about to instinctively start swearing.

However, upon hearing the guild member's words, he immediately raised his hand and activated the permissions granted to Reincarnation Apostles by the Reincarnation Tower to check the public quests.

[Dungeon World: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress]

[Current Status: Mutation, unknown interference or intrusion exists.]

[Instance Description: As the world was swept up in the waves of the Industrial Revolution, transitioning from the early modern period to the present day, undead monsters suddenly appeared...]

[Dungeon Difficulty: Unknown, intrusion detected, anomaly detected]

[Mission issued: Slay the unknown invaders from another dimension.]

[Task Rewards: Starting from 50,000 to 100,000 Reincarnation Points, S to SS to SSS-level Reincarnation Medals. (Rewards will increase based on the actual difficulty of the task.)]

[Warning: An unknown anomaly has occurred in this instance, allowing Apostles to freely use dimensional escape items.]

After seeing this mission, the countless reincarnation apostles in the Tower of Reincarnation all became suspicious and uncertain.

Olivia finally understood why Mikasa had died.

At the same time, the public interface of the Tower of Reincarnation was in an uproar, with countless messages appearing immediately.

(Starting from 50,000 to 100,000 Reincarnation Points, S-rank to SSS-rank Reincarnation Medals!?)

(The rewards for this task are quite generous.)

(But I'm afraid I won't live to get it!)

(An unknown entity has invaded; is it some powerful being or a time traveler?!)

(This type of reward and mission has appeared on the history panel of the Tower of Reincarnation. No matter how strong or how many apostles there are, they will suffer heavy casualties.)

(But the rewards are generous; those who manage to survive have climbed to who knows how many floors of the Tower of Reincarnation they've reached.)

The tasks on the public panel tempted countless reincarnation apostles, but along with the tempting came apprehension.

This type of task is not the first time it has appeared.

Anomalies in the dungeon world are commonplace for the Reincarnation Apostles who have spent a long time in the Reincarnation Tower.

However, there are only a handful of abnormal dungeon missions of this caliber.

The mission is to slay unknown invaders from another dimension, who either crossed over by accident or by choice.

But whichever it is, anything that can get the Tower of Reincarnation to issue a task is definitely not simple.

The task before us is one that presents both danger and opportunity.

Although all the apostles who carried out this mission suffered heavy casualties, some were even wiped out.

However, those who survived gained enough benefits to advance to a higher level of the Tower of Reincarnation.

"What are the odds of something like this happening?"

At this moment, Olivia looked at the public interface, and the anger in her heart had subsided.

She knew that Mikasa was simply unlucky to have encountered such a situation.

After all, even she could die in such a sudden situation.

"Mama~~mama~~, President, shall we take this mission? The reward is just too good to pass up."

At this moment, a tall woman, about six or seven meters tall, wearing a pink tank top and jeans, with beautiful pink curly hair, let out a strange laugh and looked at the panel in front of her with greedy eyes.

"Are you confident you can live to receive the reward, Lingling?"

Olivia looked helplessly at the stunning pink-haired woman beside her, who resembled a giant.

Charlotte Linlin is a powerful giant from the One Piece world and a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

When he was young, Olivia and the other members of the guild invited him to the Tower of Reincarnation and made him a member.

Charlotte Linlin was more than willing to climb to higher and stronger realms.

Moreover, she can eat different kinds of sweets in the Tower of Reincarnation.

"Uh... there's a saying that goes, 'Fortune favors the bold,' and even pirates understand that principle."

Charlotte Linlin snapped out of her daze upon hearing this and saw the conversation between the other Reincarnation Apostles on the public interface. Although there was no fear in her eyes, her tone became somewhat hesitant.

This mission offers generous rewards, but it's common for the entire team to be wiped out and suffer heavy casualties every time it appears.

The fact that no one has immediately taken over the mission so far is enough to demonstrate its danger.

"President, people have already started participating in this mission."

At this moment, a white-haired woman with a cold and beautiful appearance, as white as snow and charming and alluring, walked in, holding a long knife, and gave a reminder in a calm tone.

The Valkyrie Guild members quickly checked the public panel; indeed, someone had already signed up for this high-risk mission.

The reincarnation apostles on the first and second floors of the Reincarnation Tower are not qualified to accept this mission because they are not strong enough.

The third level of reincarnation apostles are qualified, while the number of reincarnation apostles in the fourth and fifth levels is limited.
