Chapter 414: Death Note Fragment
Bloodline items shimmering with purple luster were placed on the stall, undoubtedly the best footnote to various previous rumors.
[Snow Witch] stood on the periphery of the stall, looking at that tube of [Ajin IBM Particle Integrator], scrutinizing Mercenary Tao with her eyes.
Not just her; at this moment, that group of Title Level high-rank Reincarnators also came outside Mercenary Tao's stall.
[White Face] stood among the crowd, her gaze gloomy under the mask. She recalled her plot in the Jujutsu Kaisen world being destroyed by Mercenary Tao. At that time, she only thought Mercenary Tao was a scheming small character.
Even if His Majesty said Mercenary Tao had destiny on him, she didn't think much of him.
Unexpectedly, after just a few mission worlds, he had reached this point?!
No matter how arrogant she was, she wouldn't think she was stronger than [Sage] now, let alone that [Tang Sanzang] whose reputation was even more terrifying.
Amidst her thoughts, she saw the Reincarnators in front stepping aside to both sides simultaneously. Looking up, she indeed met those eyes holding a smile.
Kaito Shirogane waved his hand to [White Face] wearing a gold-threaded white robe, as if greeting an old friend not seen for a long time.
White Face snorted coldly. Her figure turned into light and disappeared, actually teleporting directly away from the Shanty Town.
Kaito didn't care either. Withdrawing his gaze, he was considering what kind of bottom line price to set for [Ajin IBM Particle Integrator]. This bloodline item was the rarest item he had ever put on shelves.
For creatures like Reincarnators, no tag was more attractive than immortality, let alone a high-rank immortality bloodline like Ajin.
Hum~
At this time, the celestial phenomenon above the Shanty Town changed again. Like a solar eclipse appearing, the sky began to darken. A pitch-black sun appeared in the sky.
This sign made Reincarnators realize instantly that a Supreme Powerhouse had appeared in the Shanty Town.
In the next moment, a man wearing a black coat and a black top hat emerged from the pitch-black sun and descended slowly, coming straight to Kaito's stall.
The man's avatar looked about thirty years old. His face was stern, not handsome, but his eyes were deep, his physique robust, full of a sense of power.
After he appeared, a large number of Reincarnators quickly gathered behind him.
[Final Sun], now having completed the establishment of a nation in reality, gathered a large number of Reincarnators under his command in the name of the Emperor of the [Final Empire], worthy of being called the Supreme Powerhouse with the greatest momentum in the Eastern District Space today.
Seeing Final Sun arriving in person, Snow Witch and others also stepped aside to both sides and nodded slightly.
The human wall in front of Kaito's stall cleared instantly.
Step, step, step.
The man looked straight ahead, making no eye contact with others at all. Coming in front of Kaito, his gaze shifted down, finally meeting Kaito's eyes.
"Mercenary Tao, you are very good."
Kaito found these so-called big shots liked to use this kind of opening remark. It seemed only this way of speaking with a certain tone could make people understand they were superiors.
He nodded, accepting this evaluation calmly.
"Naturally."
Among the surrounding Reincarnators, some teleported away quickly, while others began to whisper.
Previously, the [Final Empire] issued bounty orders to many forces, and [Mercenary Tao] was among them.
The two were obviously hostile. Rumor had it that not only [Kirinji], but another follower of Final Sun was also killed by Mercenary Tao.
But now, this hostile relationship probably came to an end.
"Join me, Mercenary Tao. A guy like you won't live too comfortably in those mortal kingdoms no matter what."
Final Sun's voice was deep, fitting most people's stereotype of the image of a "big shot."
He issued an invitation directly to Kaito, as if all previous unpleasantness never happened.
Reincarnators were short-lived creatures, so everything was extremely brief and rapid. Whether love or hatred, it might become completely different after a mission.
Previously, Mercenary Tao was just a potential Reincarnator rookie, so Final Sun wanted to crush him.
But now, the terrifying abnormal change that just happened in the Secondary World caused Reincarnators to lose over a hundred people at once. These hundred people were mostly veterans and elite Reincarnators. Over ten Title Level Reincarnators also died.
Not to mention, it included Tang Sanzang and Sage, Reincarnators of the Third Ladder upper rank.
And the already dimmed [Fate Eternal] emblem made people shudder even more.
Mercenary Tao, who could return alive from that kind of world and brought back quite a lot of harvest, had proven his strength and qualifications.
Final Sun thus came personally to issue an invitation.
Kaito looked at Final Sun reaching out to him, just smiling without answering.
If he just wanted to join under some Majesty's command, why would he specifically find [Treant] and make that arrangement?
After realizing the fact that the approximate power level of [Supreme Powerhouses] in the Space now wasn't strong enough to prevent him from peeping, Kaito had generated greater ambitions.
Final Sun's outstretched hand froze in the air. Seeing Mercenary Tao's ugly red face just looking at him, he understood the opponent's meaning. He was about to withdraw his hand.
But others behind Final Sun, following this "Reincarnator Emperor," couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mercenary Tao, you are in the northern Myanmar region, right? Don't think you can hide forever in that kind of place..."
Someone spoke gloomily; the threat was palpable.
Kaito glanced over. This was a man wearing blue-white light armor with short golden hair. A black sword hilt hung at his waist without a blade, probably a weapon similar to Lee Chae-rin's nano-blade that would extend a blade.
"Your Majesty Final Sun, I think you are late."
[Crimson Lotus Mage] Luo Xi appeared from the rear at this time. She crossed the crowd, coming in front of Kaito, lifting her chin slightly, as if recovering her former high-spirited posture.
She held a small piece of white paper in her hand, looking like a fragment torn randomly from some notebook.
But this piece of scrap paper emitted purple luster. As she raised her hand, that luster drifted constantly.
"Death Note!"
"Is it Death Note?"
Purple paper. Many people realized what this thing was immediately. Luo Xi was originally a Reincarnator under [Silent Fate], and that extremely dangerous item [Death Note] was indeed known to have fallen into [Silent Fate]'s hands.
Seeing this item, Final Sun just gave Mercenary Tao a last glance. Mercenary Tao's deep black eyes impressed him somewhat. Then he turned and left.
Although [Silent Fate] didn't appear, he lost in the previous struggle and was unwilling to have friction with the opponent on such matters again.
Moreover, he could tell that this Mercenary Tao was absolutely not a benevolent guy. With [Silent Fate]'s loose management model, a guy like Mercenary Tao would cause trouble sooner or later.
Final Sun came fast and left fast. But this back and forth indeed helped Kaito establish Mercenary Tao's reputation rapidly.
Different from the previous title of "Fierce Person" Mercenary Tao, when others only knew Mercenary Tao of the Eastern District was a vicious Reincarnator with cruel means and outstanding potential.
But now, Mercenary Tao's reputation began to spread out from the Eastern District. Everyone would know.
Mercenary Tao was a powerful guy who shouldn't be provoked.
Seeing Final Sun leave, Luo Xi also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't expect that Mercenary Tao, recruited through an unintentional trade with [Rose Tiger] that day, would have such potential.
Originally, she just wanted Mercenary Tao to reduce the members of the [Chaos Sage] squad. Unexpectedly, [Chaos Sage] was wiped out directly.
Although [Red Dust] survived, he quit the team and gathering directly. Now he was being fought over by many teams.
That [Sage] who made her feel fear died directly.
"Mercenary Tao, luckily I chose you that day..."
Luo Xi's voice was somewhat excited. As long as she had Mercenary Tao's fame, rebuilding [Crimson Lotus] wasn't a problem.
Luo Xi extended her fair right hand to Mercenary Tao. Her smooth arm was exposed from the red robe.
[MA10030033 (Luo Xi) initiates a trade with you. Do you accept?]
*[You obtained item, Death Note Fragment 1]
[Death Note Fragment]
[Quality: Unparalleled Rare]
[Description: Notebook used by a Shinigami of a certain world to take lives, possessing the authority to plunder lives]
[Effect 1: Clearly imagine the target's face in mind and write down the target's name. The target will die of heart paralysis after 40 seconds. This ability possesses Medium Priority]
[Effect 2: Can supplement the cause of death and details within 40 seconds after writing the name]
[Effect 3: This ability cannot affect targets born less than 780 days ago]
Kaito looked at this fragment of an item famous in the Infinite Dimensional Space, nodded, and accepted it.
"Chaos Sage, besides Red Dust, including Sage, a total of six people have died. Miss Luo Xi, according to the agreement, you should pay me 6 B-Class Singularities."
Luo Xi nodded. She knew Mercenary Tao very well. This fierce person was an absolute interest-driven type Reincarnator.
Naturally, she wouldn't offend the opponent for profit, especially now that everyone knew how terrible Mercenary Tao's strength was.
*[You obtained B-Class Singularity 6]
"Mercenary Tao, actually, Her Majesty [Silent Fate] also prepared to invite you to join her command. But she is a bit busy now and cannot come forward in person..."
Luo Xi spoke to invite. To match the specification of Final Sun coming forward in person, she could only lie that Her Majesty Silent Fate was very busy, but she sighed in her heart.
Her Majesty Silent Fate had a personality too "special." Therefore, clearly she won in the frontal struggle against Final Sun, but looking at the current situation, Final Sun attracted more followers.
Kaito didn't care about these things, nor did he plan to join under Silent Fate. Coincidentally, at this time, he saw Lee Chae-rin appearing, wearing a half mask and having escaped from that world early.
He waved his hand, asking Lee Chae-rin to watch the stall.
"Miss Luo Xi, I still have some matters to deal with. If anything, you can communicate directly with my personal assistant."
Saying that, his figure flashed with light, teleporting directly outside the Rank Management Office.
He had many Singularities on him at this time, but the hidden dangers on his body also needed to be resolved. Therefore, he needed to spend first. In addition, the Advance Mission needed to be processed.
