Chapter 458: Demon Slaughter Plan
In the Infinite Dimensional Space, the large-scale gathering named [Salted Fish] had always been a mixed bag of people. This gathering had almost no entry requirements.
Any Reincarnator who learned about this gathering could obtain the qualification to join as long as they wanted to.
Because this gathering handed the qualification to recruit new members to every member. As long as you became a member of Salted Fish, you could invite other Reincarnators to join.
Moreover, this gathering had no leadership class. Ever since the original founder disappeared after supposedly changing their [Avatar], all members of this gathering were of the same rank.
No member had the power to demand other members to perform any missions. Consequently, the scale and level of this gathering were completely stagnant, relying solely on the public facilities left behind previously to serve Reincarnators.
This characteristic of [Salted Fish] on one hand provided a convenient place for many weak newcomer Reincarnators to train themselves and find suitable teammates.
On the other hand, it also made many malicious Reincarnators choose [Salted Fish] as a "criminal den."
Reincarnators belonging to different teams would temporarily join [Salted Fish], then meet here and discuss plans together.
At this time, in the overly huge square of Salted Fish, Reincarnators came and went, but a few people wearing black cloaks stood on the edge of the square.
The public space of Salted Fish was set up as a massive ring-shaped slate space. Each ring could accommodate tens of thousands of people. These few people stood in the outermost ring.
A Reincarnator, also wearing a hood, saw that everyone had arrived. He coughed twice and said:
"Since you are all here, my task is completed."
"Let's be clear first. I am only responsible for connecting you. I will not listen to your subsequent plans and actions, and at the same time, it has nothing to do with me. After leaving here, I will find someone to wash away this part of my memory. If you don't believe me, I can make a contract."
This was an intelligence broker. The face under the hood had no distinct features, and the voice was processed into a special mechanical sound.
Hearing this, a woman sitting on the railing of the outermost ring, with her back against the endless void below, sneered. She raised a finger, and dim blue flames circled her body, turning into a butterfly that rested on her finger.
"Ha... No need for that. A coward like you is probably already trembling with fear just by connecting us, the enemies of Mercenary Tao..."
"To avoid getting involved yourself, I guess you will immediately go and destroy this avatar, wash away your memory, and pretend you never participated in this plan."
[White Face] mocked the other party with a crisp tone.
The broker hiding his identity didn't argue, just emphasized again.
"I didn't participate in any plan. I just collected a fee to introduce you people together, that's all..."
He raised his right hand and successively collected payment from everyone, then disappeared silently into the public space.
White Face then looked at the others. She tore open her black cloak, revealing that signature white robe with golden edges. Her slender figure, however, looked down at everyone.
Her gaze suddenly stopped on one person. The other party held his head high, his gaze simultaneously staying on her. The hatred revealed in those eyes was hard to dissolve.
The corner of White Face's mouth hooked up, and a smile quickly rippled out.
"You are... that dead weight behind Fifth Element. You're actually not dead yet?"
[Jiasu], who also covered his sacrificial robe with a black cloak, frowned, worrying that [Wei Yixiao] would clash with White Face at this time.
But the gritting teenager [Wei Yixiao] finally exhaled a breath of foul air and moved his gaze away.
He would eventually kill this woman too, but before that, he had to use all the power he could borrow to kill Mercenary Tao first.
Mercenary Tao's growth rate was too fast. He was very worried that soon, he would no longer have the possibility of revenge.
Flames also burned on Wei Yixiao's body. That kind of flame contained the power of the soul, slowly dissipating the mocking meaning in White Face's eyes.
This boy who finally inherited the legacy of [Fifth Element] had actually really grown up...
White Face also couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of fate.
"Very good. It seems none of you are weaklings. This way, our Demon Slaughter Plan has much more certainty."
A giant with an avatar size exceeding three meters lifted his cloak. He wore a special piece of armor. The turquoise stripes and scales looked somewhat comical. On the heart-protecting mirror on his chest, however, there was a black word [Demon] on a red background.
[Great Demon] greedily moved his gaze away from White Face. He knew White Face possessed a special card, but now was not the time to covet such things.
Mercenary Tao also had things like [Cards], and... more!
Pitch-black mist spread from around Great Demon's body.
Another group of people separated from them by several meters, as if forming a group of their own. This group now saw White Face, Wei Yixiao, and Great Demon successively reveal certain power characteristics.
Only then did they look at the few people seriously.
Standing right in the middle of this group was a boy less than a meter tall. He undid his cloak, and a black sun appeared behind his back.
White Face, Great Demon, Wei Yixiao, and Jiasu all took a few steps back.
This phenomenon of a black sun appearing behind the head was a symbol of identity in the Space.
The mysterious Number One Follower of the Doomsday Sun!
"You few indeed possess the potential to become Title Level Reincarnators in the next round of selection. But to definitively kill Mercenary Tao... it's not enough."
Just as a group of Reincarnators secretly plotted the [Demon Slaughter Plan] in the Space, Kaito stepped forcefully from above the sea of clouds, and the single-seater watercraft sank from the sea of clouds.
In the next moment, trailing a long wake, he rushed down from the cloud layer.
The Japanese islands below were already extremely clear.
What Kaito somewhat didn't expect was that the entire Japanese islands had actually turned snow-white at this moment. As if in less than a day, it had completely entered winter.
And evil, icy magic power appeared from everywhere. Kaito's eyes flickered slightly, and he put on the [Crown of the Outer Gods] again.
As soon as he obtained the identity of [Patriarch of Outer Gods], he perceived the locations of Reincarnators and plot characters in his faction, finding that a dense, large number of Ancient Alien God's believers had appeared all over Japan.
The number of Wights (Others) surged from less than twenty before he left to hundreds all at once.
This number of Wights had already far exceeded the scale in A Song of Ice and Fire.
"It seems He really wants to obtain this world..."
Kaito was unclear what exactly was special about this world. Multi-Faced Aliens observed humans here, and the Ancient Alien God also didn't hesitate to expend divine power to exert influence.
But he knew that he didn't receive any rewards for this part of the changes from the Ancient Alien God and the Outer God's Abode!
The faction scale surged, but he didn't receive reputation rewards or any other rewards.
Kaito plummeted rapidly from the sky. Humans surviving in the icy city all saw that white smoke dragon falling from the night sky.
Kaito looked around, confirming this place was indeed Hideto Suga's official residence previously. But right now, whether that field or the exquisite manor, both had disappeared.
Leaving only a huge tree. The tree body was composed of twisted flesh and blood. The red leaves were eerie and bright, extremely conspicuous in the wind and snow.
There were quite a few ghouls around the tree, but towards Kaito, these ghouls didn't show any intention to attack, still wandering around.
Kaito walked under the tree and saw Hideto Suga. This last Prime Minister of Japan in this world was probably growing in the trunk of this twisted giant tree.
Seeing Mercenary Tao return, Hideto Suga, whose eyes had turned ice blue, showed a look of pleasant surprise.
"Mr. Mercenary Tao... you finally returned..."
"Hurry, save this country!"
"They made me sign some unknown thing, and then it got colder and colder, colder and colder. In the blink of an eye, Japan turned into this. I didn't want to, I didn't know either..."
He shook his head, repeatedly stating that he completely didn't know why all this happened.
Kaito's expression remained as usual, gently stroking this giant flesh and blood tree. His long black hair unconsciously began to scatter, and Transcendent Helix had begun to rotate.
"To end this contract, I must kill you, who signed the contract representing Japan..."
Hideto Suga was startled, then immediately wavered. Kaito clearly read the violent struggle and increasingly intense hatred in his heart.
Subsequently, this Prime Minister, who could be called a wise minister, changed his mind.
He lowered his head, and the struggling expression on his face disappeared.
"Forget it... This is probably also the will of the citizens."
Kaito revealed a smile. Sure enough, this was the human nature he was familiar with.
"Hmm, what a pity, it's not mine."
On Kaito's right hand, the scarlet serpent suddenly pierced through this tree.
