Chapter 453: Releasing Meme
Knock.
Kaito Shirogane bent his finger and gently tapped the frozen outer wall of the apartment. In the next moment, the ice and the wall shattered together. With Kaito's current strength and force control ability, walls without special ability reinforcement, or even steel, were completely unable to withstand the force of his gentle tap.
That kind of strength comparable to a giant beast, through the control of a martial arts grandmaster, could easily circulate and reverberate within materials, tearing apart all defenses.
Even facing a tank or armored vehicle, Kaito only needed to tap lightly on the armor outside once to shock and kill all ordinary humans inside the vehicle.
Kaito walked out from behind the wall, completely ignoring the roars of the Black Ball Team behind him and the hissing of more ghouls. The joining of the Wights (Others) caused chaos in the Black Ball Team. The massive number of ghouls broke through the blockade in an instant, rushing into the Black Ball Team's position.
Tragic slaughter had begun.
Kaito's gaze, however, turned to the place where Kei Kurono was heading. The Ancient Alien God obviously also had a soft spot for Kei Kurono, this "world protagonist," exerting a certain influence on him.
And for Kaito in this world, besides hunting various powerful plot characters and Reincarnators, Gantz's technology was also within his scope of demands.
He tapped his toes, and his figure leaped high, silently following Kei Kurono. Soon, he heard the roar of a Gravity Gun erupting from an apartment building.
Kei Kurono's combat instincts fully awakened. Even fighting one against three, facing two hunters wearing Gorilla Suits and one hunter constantly bombarding with a Gravity Gun, he still handled it with ease.
He constantly used the four corners of the building as cover to dodge. Even though his speed didn't have an overwhelming advantage, he still utilized the weakness of the Gantz Gravity Gun, which couldn't lock onto individuals but had to lock onto areas, causing the opponent's several shots to miss.
The apartment was instantly blasted with several huge holes from the top floor by the Gravity Gun.
Kei Kurono took the opportunity to jump down, used the X-Gun's X-ray vision to kill the target holding the Gravity Gun from below, and then took the Gravity Gun to continue dodging before the attacks of the two Gorilla Suit hunters arrived.
Kaito withdrew his gaze. Kei Kurono indeed could be considered a type possessing combat aptitude among these Black Ball warriors. But compared to Reincarnators, this level of combat and aptitude was still too thin.
In the final analysis, the humans in this world had no extraordinary paths. All power relied solely on the technology bestowed by the Multi-Faced Aliens.
Thinking of this, Kaito took out an item extracted from the Scarlet Drop Card of [Cleaner · Duke] from his backpack.
[Meme · Vampire Species]
[Quality: Special]
[Description: A meme recording the existence, spread, and power of vampire species creatures]
[Effect: After use, this world will obtain the meme of the vampire species spreading. The power and legends of the vampire species will begin to continue in this world]
(Note: The use of any meme-type items will not yield Singularity rewards for altering the timeline as a result, and may touch upon Space regulations. Please use with caution)
The Gantz world actually had vampires, but in this world, that was also a kind of alien. Their strength could be considered not bad, but far unmatched compared to vampires circulated in other worlds.
Items like [Meme], most of the time when used, wouldn't bring immediate benefits to Reincarnators. On the contrary, many times they would incur hostility and attacks from plot characters and factions.
Therefore, for this kind of rare item, many Reincarnators wouldn't use it after obtaining it, but instead seek to trade it.
Because [Meme] essentially introduced intercepted special cultures, stories, legends, and powers altogether into a new world. Those most directly affected were always plot characters.
And because the Space wouldn't grant Singularities for meme alterations, what Reincarnators could obtain from it was almost exclusively chaos.
In the One Piece world, Kaito saw a Reincarnator use some item to make a frenzy called [Blood Cross] spread wildly. In The Boys world, he killed a Reincarnator and obtained a special cursed meme, which had been sealed away. Kaito planned to use it in the real world.
At this moment, harboring strange thoughts, he crushed this Meme · Vampire Species.
[Special Reincarnator EX051, you used Special Item · Meme · Vampire Species]
[The legend of the Vampire Species begins to spread in this world]
[Legend has it that somewhere in modern Shinjuku, Japan, someone witnessed a group of special creatures that suck human blood, sleep by day and come out at night, and possess powerful strength. They turn other humans into followers and kin through their fangs, and a new group begins to appear...]
[EX051, your action will cause irreversible impact on this world. And according to Space regulations, this impact will not yield Singularities]
Kaito looked at this world already messed up by several Reincarnator teams. He didn't hesitate to add fuel to the fire.
The strength of the Ancient Alien God made him dissatisfied. This kind of Outer God that was too "self-sufficient" made Kaito feel he could fish for too few benefits.
Just a little reputation points that could be farmed through missions completely couldn't compare to that fox's "investment." Giving him an ability similar to a trump card early on, and fully lending him divine power in the B711 world.
Kaito had to make the Ancient Alien God understand the importance of him, this "Patriarch of Outer Gods."
Whoosh.
Kaito's body emitted a slight sound of breaking through the air. He flashed in the air like a phantom. Whether it was Kei Kurono or those two Black Ball hunters in Gorilla Suits, they completely didn't notice his existence.
In the next moment, Kaito was on the roof of another apartment building, blocking a man in black carrying a black laptop.
This person was waiting for Gantz's teleportation, but a hand pressed on his shoulder silently.
He turned around in horror, body instinctively tensing, the strengthening suit fully loaded instantly. But in the next moment, Kaito patted gently, and a vigorous force drilled into the strengthening suit, wandering recklessly.
Pop, pop, pop...
Buttons filled with special liquid burst open one by one. Those fluids capable of strengthening ordinary human physical abilities nearly ten times drained completely, representing the complete failure of this strengthening suit.
"Give me a name. You know what I'm asking~"
Kaito's voice was flat, but Miyamoto was already scared out of his wits. His mind unconsciously thought of the person controlling him behind the scenes, but he knew that as long as he said that name, his head would explode immediately.
Kaito suddenly smiled, patting this man's shoulder.
"Very good, I have already heard that name in your mind~"
Miyamoto completely didn't know what happened, but in the next moment, he felt severe pain in his head.
Bang!
The man's head exploded. Kaito curved his palm, waving gently, and a strong wind blocked the rain of blood.
Then he leaned against the railing at the top of the building. A small piece of white notebook fragment appeared in his hand.
[Death Note Fragment] wasn't a one-time consumable item, but would only lose its effect when there was no more space to write words.
Kaito treated this powerful item as a convenient tool for remote control and killing.
His control ability was very strong. He casually took a piece of finger bone, shaped it into a slender "pen tip," dipped it in blood, and wrote down a new name.
[Shoji Kujo, while fleeing Shinjuku carrying precious technology, died of a heart attack on a helicopter one hour later]
...
One hour later.
Boom!
Huge firelight erupted from a helicopter above the sea surface. Kaito dragged a Black Ball, leaving from the firelight.
