Chapter 410: Kaito Shirogane Awakens, Fragment of Fatalism
Moo!
A huge Yin Spirit howled at the sky. In just an instant, humans in the entire building stiffened all over, losing the ability to move completely. Although they couldn't see the Yin Spirit, that creeping feeling made them instinctively detect it.
Inside this building, some invisible terrifying thing was approaching.
The twisted Yin Spirit broke free from that cage, wantonly emitting its twisted malice. Having been soaked in the Yellow Spring and having killed each other like raising Gu in that purgatory-like Yin Spirit pit for a long time, the degree of twist and strength of this Yin Spirit were extraordinary.
It would soon be able to evolve into a Vengeful Spirit or a Cursed Spirit. As long as it was willing, it could also stay in this building and become a powerful Earthbound Spirit.
The Yin Spirit suddenly pounced on those humans emitting fresh breath. But in the next moment, a strong suction force came. The huge black Yin Spirit felt a familiar aura.
It emitted a fearful hiss.
Woo!
It didn't want to go back.
The Yin Spirit's limbs turned into twisted joints, wrapping around the building. But that force was far stronger than any time before. In the next moment, the Yin Spirit's joints were torn apart. Its body passed through the building instantly, turning into a black sharp arrow under the sunlight, shooting towards the distance.
Bang!
The Yin Spirit sucked into the air bumped into another spirit body. It angrily reformed claws and teeth, preparing to devour the opponent, but unexpectedly met a pair of scarlet Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly. With one hand, he punched the weak guy who bumped into him away. Seeing that guy merely change an arc, still flying towards the same place with him uncontrollably.
He raised his head, looking into the sky. Pitch-black lines rose constantly from all directions of the world, then converged towards the same place.
Clearly, his weird host probably obtained some stronger power again, and now was forcibly capturing these prisoners back.
"Hmph."
Even at this time, Uchiha Madara crossed his arms. Although an agreement was already reached with him, using such crude means still... He could vaguely sense that the host not only became stronger but probably also became more tyrannical in temper...
The flight speed of spirit bodies was fundamentally different from living creatures. They could directly cross some spatial obstacles and enter the Spirit World directly.
Uchiha Madara only felt that after a moment in the black-and-white strange space, he plunged into the body of the host whose appearance had become somewhat strange again.
In the next moment, Uchiha Madara's face became gloomy. He struggled to maintain the posture of crossing arms but was constantly pushed by crowded spirit bodies around, forced to change positions repeatedly.
Using [Limitless Cursed Technique] to stand in the air, Gojo Satoru watched this scene, laughing while holding his stomach.
Boom!
Uchiha Madara cleared all spirit bodies near him almost in an instant. These eliminated spirit bodies regenerated slowly from the equally crowded Yellow Spring in the next moment, squeezing confusedly.
In the huge white space, a massive amount of spirit bodies far exceeding the previous scale were crowded here at this moment.
Gojo Satoru landed cleverly beside Uchiha Madara, who cleared a space in an instant. In the distance, one could see that Death God capable of devouring souls was rarely floating motionless in the air. He probably ate a fill like never before.
"What exactly is going on?"
Uchiha Madara asked coldly. Although he had accepted temporary cooperation with this host, this space becoming so crowded really put him in a bad mood.
Gojo Satoru rested his hands behind his neck, looking at the specks of golden luster revealed in the crack-filled white-jade [Throne of the Heart] in the sky, and whistled frivolously.
"Probably, that guy obtained some wonderful opportunity and became 'a little bit' stronger again. Truly..."
"Enviably scary luck."
[Lilith] watched the gradually departing black car. A day had passed. Rescue work here came to a temporary end. The corpse of the [Nameless Hero] Mercenary Tao still remained in place, surrounded. It was said many researchers hoped to use the remains of this powerful hero for research.
Now this matter caused fierce arguments. Fubuki left also preparing to gather everyone from the former Hero Association to change the current situation.
She couldn't accept a 'Hero' ending up like this.
Hero, heh...
[You are in a non-combat state. Do you want to end this mission directly and return according to Space Safety Regulation Article 3 · Special Situation 1?]
[Yes/No]
In the Space panel before Lilith's eyes, scarlet words flashed constantly. Obviously, the Space was hinting that she should return immediately.
Lilith's eyes were dim. The difficulty of this world was completely unsuitable for a weakling like her. Rather, for a [Average] tier Reincarnator like her to be deployed into a world of this difficulty was a disaster in itself.
It was just that now the disaster ended, she didn't have much joy.
Familiar companions died. The villain Mercenary Tao who inexplicably saved her several times also died. Saitama, who showed goodwill to her, suddenly began to hunt Reincarnators.
Lilith looked at the mutilated corpse surrounded by layers of cordon lines, sighed, and chose [Yes].
As streams of information fell, she suddenly smelled a scent of blood. Then she saw on the mutilated corpse inside the cordon line, granulation suddenly sprang up one by one again.
"You..."
Lilith's figure disappeared completely. Subsequently, an increasingly strong smell of blood appeared from the corpse. Granulation sprang constantly; flesh tissues began to regenerate.
Kaito Shirogane's body regained vitality and began to attempt regeneration constantly.
Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep...
Rapid alarm sounds rang quickly from the edge of the cordon line. This was the alarm jointly arranged by those hero agencies to prevent anyone from wanting to monopolize this hero's remains privately.
It would ring as long as the aura of a living creature was detected.
Soon, several motorcycles appeared from the distant urban area. Because B-City suffered that terrible impact, most people had been migrated to neighboring urban areas at this time, but some hero agencies were still stationed in the urban area.
Several fully armed men drove motorcycles appearing outside the cordon line but didn't see traces of other people.
"What's wrong with this alarm? Triggered by some animal by mistake?"
Several people squatted down to check the trigger but didn't notice that the mutilated corpse was several centimeters taller than before at this time, and the flesh began to emit a smell of blood.
Clank, clank. The sound of mechanical footsteps rang out. Several people turned around, only seeing a pitch-black robot appearing outside the block, walking heavily towards them.
"Stop! Which agency are you from?"
Several people shouted warnings loudly immediately, simultaneously pulling out firearms on their bodies. The pitch-black cannon muzzle on the robot's back rotated slowly. Several people showed fear on their faces. Their strength hadn't reached the level of ignoring thermal weapons, especially such large-caliber weapons.
"Wait, we..."
Bang!
Three headless corpses fell slowly. The robot stepped over the few people, directly crushed the alarm, tore off the cordon line, looking at the mutilated corpse with appearing granulation. Its mechanical eyes emitted red light.
"Sure enough, you revived..."
The robot's chest plate then opened. A mechanical arm took out an emerald green potion from it, pouring it on the mutilated corpse.
A large amount of active substances and intense vitality immediately appeared from Kaito's mutilated corpse. Those granulations almost turned into long snakes twisting together.
A moment later, the complete Kaito Shirogane appeared in this world again.
Different from before, Kaito at this time had black long hair hanging behind his head. The temperament of the whole person also became completely different.
The previous cruel smile disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes seemingly black enough to swallow human hearts.
He seemed to have a plain expression, but just standing nearby, one would feel involuntarily attracted to him.
That was a gap in absolute existence, a gap in the essence of the soul.
"Hello, Hero for Fun ~ Mercenary Tao. I've been observing you for a long time..."
Mechanical voice appeared from the black robot's body. This robot was over three meters tall, covered in heavy armor, with three large-caliber cannons on its back, and probably many weapons hidden on its body.
"Metal Knight."
Kaito looked at this robot calmly, then without waiting for the opponent to speak, said directly:
"I accept your deal."
Metal Knight's electronic eyes flashed a few times. Kaito didn't wait for it to speak again, saying directly:
"You, who have been hiding behind the scenes, have observed the powerful strength of our group, and the even more terrible power of Saitama and others. So you want to check and balance. I can agree to you."
[Your behavior gained appreciation from Metal Knight. Your reputation with Metal Knight increased slightly. Current: Stranger (88/100)]
The corner of Kaito's mouth moved slightly. He didn't know if there was any problem with his 'resurrection,' or if the effect of those three Golden Soul Fragments was really so strong.
He clearly didn't activate [Transcendent Helix] at this time, but possessed the powerful thinking ability close to when it was activated, almost instinctively simulating the opponent's thinking logic.
He vaguely sensed that this was probably the change he obtained after his [Transcendent Helix] First Turn reached the limit and his genes almost collapsed.
"Your performance makes me need to re-evaluate the threat of your group."
Metal Knight wasn't a very easy guy to get along with. Even though he showed appreciation for Kaito's 'cleverness,' the reputation remained at Stranger, showing his wariness.
But Kaito himself didn't care about such things.
He moved his limbs, still feeling a lack of flexibility.
"You should also want to research me, right? Arrange a place. I also want to know my current physical condition."
Metal Knight fell silent again for a moment. The wisdom and cooperation level of this guy before him reached a degree that made him uneasy. But thinking of those terrible guys, he must take precautions.
Whether it was these suddenly appearing ability user groups, or the mysterious Saitama and that Spirit World creature...
[Metal Knight invites you to join his faction. Do you agree?]
[Yes].
Kaito sat on the shoulder of this black robot of Metal Knight, flying into the desert. Suddenly, he jumped off the robot's shoulder.
He saw a certain golden shining object in the desert being incredibly dazzling.
And Metal Knight obviously didn't scan this thing.
Kaito landed in the desert. This was a dark golden fragment, like an infinity symbol broken from the middle.
This shape was clearly inseparable from the [Infinite Dimensional Space].
He reached out to touch it. A wondrous feeling appeared.
