Chapter 547: Unknown Magic [?], The Supreme Arrives
"Ugh..."
Mahakala's main body, exceeding three meters in height, wanted to grab the man's hands in front of him. But in the next moment, the twisted force field, accompanied by a snap, bounced his hands away.
His body, like cast gold sand, made crisp cracking sounds; the golden body already showed signs of shattering.
Mahakala wouldn't feel pain or lose strength due to a factor like suffocation, which ordinary people find hard to resist. But after being choked by Mercenary Tao, he felt his strength rapidly decreasing.
[You suffered the influence of the ability · Logic. Body functions massively decreased]
Logic...
Mahakala actually couldn't recall where this name came from for a moment.
In the Infinite Dimensional Space, abilities and bloodlines were as numerous as stars, and there would even be many abilities with the same name.
More importantly, his heart was in turmoil.
He looked down and saw that Mercenary Tao, who was choking him across space, didn't even look at him.
The other party seemed to have fallen into some kind of state, or rather, some kind of emotion.
In Mahakala's [Telepathy], Mercenary Tao's inner heart was empty, as if he was overlooking the entire world from an endless high altitude.
In other words, the other party completely wasn't fighting him and the others with his whole heart...
In just an instant, Mahakala made a decision.
This kind of Mercenary Tao was too dangerous.
Whether this powerful transformation ability came from the [Saiyan] bloodline, or the Scarlet Great Sin, or Mercenary Tao's own talent.
After activating the transformation, Mercenary Tao gave Mahakala the feeling that he had completely surpassed him.
That was a tier that had faintly touched a higher threshold.
And for Mercenary Tao to reach this level from a mere newbie took only a few short months...
Abnormal growth speed, abnormal strong luck, abnormal power.
Thinking back now, from the time he and the others heard that a new [Fierce Person] appeared in the East District, calling himself Mercenary Tao, using an avatar with an ugly face but wearing Mercenary Tao's pink robe.
Before they even had time to formally contact or test his strength, Mercenary Tao had risen at a speed no one could adapt to.
He wasn't stupid, and His Eminence wasn't incompetent.
It completely wouldn't be like in novels, constantly sending low-level Reincarnators in a "piecemeal tactic" to slowly let Mercenary Tao grow up.
When the other party revealed his prominence, he directly slew Title-level Reincarnators... In His Eminence's first targeted assassination plan, not only did he send him, the first-in-line follower, but he also contacted [The Heaven · Su Qingqiu] in advance to target him;
And arranged the assassination by [Death Sword].
This kind of arrangement was enough to kill a Reincarnator of his or Tang Sanzang's level.
But Mercenary Tao completely crossed this tier.
"Mercenary Tao, you are a monster."
Mahakala's throat was choked, but his voice still appeared directly in Kaito Shirogane's mind.
This suddenly appearing voice made Kaito Shirogane fall from that profound state of overlooking the Earth and overlooking the world. His eyes shifted, finally resting on this Reincarnator with a dark golden luster all over.
With this look, the originally indifferent and angry expression instantly changed.
Amazement, wonder.
Intense curiosity and greed instantly shot out from those eyes.
Mahakala didn't know if it was because his brain lacked oxygen, but he actually saw countless colors flashing in Mercenary Tao's pupils for a moment.
[Radiance of the Heart and Pulsation of the Soul]!
Kaito Shirogane was very certain that this strongest Reincarnator here, who had always looked lukewarm and stably controlled the situation from the rear, was actually a guy who had touched the Fourth Ladder.
This guy had already touched the prototype of the [Heart]. Regardless of whether he was intentional or unintentional, right at this moment, the other party's [Heart] was rapidly beginning to burn.
That irrational, unreasonable power was causing this Mahakala's strength to further break through.
Kaito Shirogane suddenly flicked his finger backwards.
Bang!
With just a flicking motion, the air immediately made an explosion sound like a cannonball leaving the barrel.
Pfft!
Almost at the same time, standing in the shattered bounded field in the distance, supporting Ling Lun, [Firelight · Aoki Yui]'s body shattered with a bang.
When Ling Lun staggered and fell to the ground, he saw that half of the other party's body seemed to have been directly smashed to pieces by some kind of giant force, dead as can be.
[You killed Reincarnator CZ41174330 in the real world]
[Sin Karma Point +1]
Kaito Shirogane reached out his right hand, pinched that Scarlet Drop Card, and looked at Mahakala's reaction leisurely.
Both possessed mind-reading abilities; this was almost a "cards on the table" duel.
But looking at Mercenary Tao, who after transforming killed ordinary Title-level Reincarnators as easily as pinching bugs to death, revealing such an unrestrained expression.
That thought in Mahakala's heart was incomparably clear.
"I must kill you here, no matter the cost."
Mahakala wasn't a purely good person, nor had he ever been called a [Fierce Person].
He always strictly abided within his own territory.
But Mercenary Tao's rule-breaking performance made Mahakala feel an inexplicable sense of mission.
If this kind of guy continued to grow, the existing order would definitely be shattered.
Mercenary Tao was a fierce beast that couldn't be kept in captivity by order, a monster that must be in chaos to grow rapidly.
Even without reading minds, he could feel this point.
Moreover, since the few of them had made a move against Mercenary Tao, with the other party's vindictive personality, he wouldn't let them go.
He constantly looked for excuses and reasons for his actions in his heart, lacking the magnanimity of a big shot or the Buddha nature of an eminent monk.
He was just like millions of ordinary living beings, constantly setting up various reasons for himself before doing something against instinct like "giving up his own life."
As if persuading another self inside his body.
I must do this, This matter must be done by me...
That agitated mood between life and death, in Kaito Shirogane's eyes, was like many pieces of flint with distinct edges and corners colliding with each other, constantly flashing sparks.
In his eyes, Mahakala's value rapidly surpassed everyone else.
On Mahakala's body surface, a peculiar radiance began to ripple. That light was like translucent ripples with a hint of black luster.
Diffusing ring by ring, the initial amplitude wasn't even as good as Kaito Shirogane's Ripple Qigong. But in the next moment, like a huge force field, it spread in all directions from beneath Mahakala's feet.
In this instant, Kaito Shirogane felt his perception of Mahakala was completely isolated.
In the next moment, when he used [Mantra Lv9] to listen again, he heard countless noisy human voices. In those voices, someone was complaining about work being too tiring today, someone was complaining about whose idol looked ugly offline. Countless kinds of voices, radiating countless thoughts.
Kaito Shirogane clutched his head. Even with his information receiving and processing capabilities, he felt somewhat dizzy at this moment.
Mahakala took this opportunity to raise his hands.
He looked compassionately at those End Empire members who hadn't had time to escape, as well as the two helpers who were severely injured with unknown survival status.
"Mercenary Tao, this is... [End]."
Hum~
Silent fluctuations spread from above his head. Kaito Shirogane looked up and found that the sky-obscuring thunderclouds summoned by the Thunder Arrow of Destiny had dissipated in an instant.
Heaven and earth abruptly turned pitch-black and bizarre.
The black mist radiating from around that pitch-black great sun had already obscured the entire sky. Moreover, that great sun grew larger and larger in his eyes.
[You suffered the influence of the ability · End]
[Trait · Instant Death Resistance effect decreased, Current: 78%...]
[Trait · Instant Death Resistance effect decreased, Current: 46%...]
[Trait · Instant Death Resistance has failed]
[Trait · Spirit Art Resistance effect decreased, Current...]
A large number of prompts continuously appeared. Kaito Shirogane found that his [Resistances] were being comprehensively reduced. At the same time, that terrifying high temperature was resisting the force and Qi on his body surface.
Naked to the eye, black flames began to coil on his body surface.
The gold sand on Mahakala's own body surface also began to melt. His [Golden Body] was originally broken by Kaito Shirogane, and at this moment he was similarly beginning to suffer damage.
Whoosh~ Boom!
A private plane flew past in the sky. The engine exploded due to overheating, detonating in mid-air into a huge burst of fire.
A figure flew out from it, landing in the rainforest.
Lee Cheong-ja looked up at that terrifying black great sun, probably over a kilometer in diameter, falling towards where this [Paradise] was located, her heart palpitating endlessly.
"Is that... the Title ability of the [End of the Great Sun]?!"
She frowned. In the next moment, [Godspeed] was already activated, her whole person turning into a stream of light and charging straight over in the air.
The pitch-black great sun grew lower and lower. Several figures who had luckily survived until now burst into flames with a whoosh because they were too close to this center point.
Their whole persons had completely no resistance, curling up on the ground, turning into pitch-black charred corpses in an instant.
Mahakala sighed. Looking at Mercenary Tao close at hand, he actively stepped forward and stretched out a palm, his whole person expanding in the wind.
Mahakala instantly turned into a thousand-meter-tall Buddha, grabbing Mercenary Tao with one hand.
His head instantly began to be ignited by the black flames.
"Mercenary Tao, end here with me."
At this moment, Kaito Shirogane seemed to hear Sanskrit chants from the other party's noisy Radiance of the Heart and Pulsation of the Soul. That sound was rapidly fusing all the miscellaneous noises.
In this instant, he raised his head in satisfaction, his eyes widening round.
Countless lusters flowed in his eyes.
Whether it was called the highest-grade Mystic Eyes, or the [True Magic] connected to the Root, this was a special ability that even the Space panel only displayed as [?].
It was the greatest treasure he survived to obtain from the Swirl of the Root.
Kaito Shirogane similarly raised his hands. Beneath his feet, in an instant, translucent fluctuations tinged with a blood-red color similarly swept towards the surroundings.
Hum!
The black great sun stagnated in mid-air.
Mahakala's pupils dilated. He himself immediately fell from that agitated mood. Those mysterious fluctuations beneath his feet dissipated, and he felt a lightness in his hands.
In the next moment, he saw Mercenary Tao, whose whole body revealed incomparably pure [Power], holding up both hands. The black great sun violated his own will and began to move towards the sky.
This is impossible!
Mercenary Tao seized the [End] bestowed by His Eminence from my hands?!
How could such a thing be possible...
Kaito Shirogane's eyes widened round. His hands violently pushed upward, and then as if grabbing something, formed mudras with both hands, held upright in front of his chest.
The sky slowly turned white, and that black great sun thousands of meters in diameter in the air slowly disappeared.
Mahakala looked at that black sun floating behind Mercenary Tao. He staggered two steps and slumped down, his eyes full of absurdity and disbelief.
[You obtained the ability · End (Special, Cannot be upgraded)]
Kaito Shirogane walked towards Mahakala, those translucent golden ripples rippling increasingly.
[You touched an incomplete Light of the Heart · Heart like a Prison]
Having gotten what he wanted, Mercenary Tao took large strides towards Mahakala, about to slap down a palm, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Turning around, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a black cloak had already appeared here.
[The Supreme · End of the Great Sun]!
