Chapter 549: Triple Ransom, King of Myanmar
The lazy and helpless expression on [An Zhiyuan]'s face, who stood beside Mercenary Tao, slowly dissipated.
Above his head, a crown radiating black and white colors appeared. Only at this time did an intense sense of existence begin to manifest.
At this time, Kaito Shirogane also remembered the reason for that sense of familiarity. Shortly after he first entered the Space, he had seen this person at a stall in the shantytown.
Because this person was sleeping on the stall, Kaito Shirogane determined he must be a high-level Reincarnator.
Later, he learned from other information brokers that the other party was probably the best divination ability possessor in the shantytown. Therefore, when hunting down that [Vincent], he tried to get the other party to help him divine, but was refused.
He didn't expect that the guy he saw back then was actually a [Supreme Being]?!
Interesting.
Kaito Shirogane felt increasingly curious about his own miraculous "strong luck." Subsequently, he shifted his gaze to the person who appeared last.
Chestnut hair swept back, well-proportioned figure, height about 1.8 meters. The whole person exuded no aura, but merely standing there, he seemed to occupy the center of everyone's vision.
The white martial arts suit was decorated with black stripes at the seams.
This signature attire, without a doubt, meant the newcomer had a deep relationship with the [Throne of Illusion and Reality]. Combined with the strength and identities of the people present at this moment,
In Kaito Shirogane's view, the newcomer was almost certainly the rumored [King] of the [Throne of Illusion and Reality].
Commanding over a thousand elite-level and above Reincarnators across the four major districts of the Infinite Dimensional Space, standing at the pinnacle of the current Infinite Generation.
And this person's dress, temperament, and posture all gave Kaito Shirogane an intense sense of déjà vu.
Sosuke Aizen.
A top villain character from the [Bleach] world, possessing outstanding strength and resourcefulness.
But Kaito Shirogane wasn't sure if this was a powerful Reincarnator using an [Incarnation] to "Cosplay," or if the story character was brought out of the world.
Having come into contact with things like the [Black King Society], Kaito Shirogane already had a psychological expectation that story characters could enter the Infinite Dimensional Space, and even go further to come to the real world.
"We naturally want to include [Mercenary Tao] in the [Reality Supervision Contract]."
Unruly, indifferent. Light flashed in Cao Qi's hand, lighting a white cigarette. Then he inhaled it all in one breath and flicked his finger.
The cigarette butt spun, making a clear sound breaking through the air, and then hit in front of Aizen. Blue-white light lit up. The cigarette butt was deflected, smashing into the ground with a bang.
Kaito Shirogane clearly felt a violent vibration from beneath the ground, as if an earth dragon was rolling.
He raised his foot and also stomped down.
Hum!
Terrifying force turned into hidden power, instantly colliding with that earth dragon.
Rumble!
The ground exploded violently, smoke and dust splashing everywhere.
Kaito Shirogane felt an intense counter-shock force strike him. His whole person shook slightly, and the air behind him shattered with a bang into a sky full of white debris.
This power... is very strong, unimaginably strong!
Clap, clap clap clap...
The man suspected to be Aizen clapped his hands, the applause clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Excellent force control, perfect Shaori technique. Mercenary Tao, you have already stepped onto the true path of martial arts~"
The man's voice was unusually mature, resonant, and even possessed a certain peculiar magic that made it sound pleasant and made people unconsciously agree with his viewpoint.
This wasn't a supernatural ability; this was merely an innate trait.
Just like Kaito Shirogane's face, many female story characters or Reincarnators would naturally increase their trust in him.
Cao Qi looked at Mercenary Tao, who was indeed uncontrollable like a wild beast, and didn't say anything. He just wore flip-flops and arrived in front of Aizen.
There was almost no difference in height between the two. It was just that one wore a white martial arts suit with an otherworldly temperament, while the other exuded an unruly and wild bearing all over.
"You crossed the line."
His voice was flat, but An Zhiyuan could feel that this old friend was truly angry.
And the other party wasn't the type to "put on airs." If he was angry, he would act up, and usually, he didn't care much about the consequences...
An Zhiyuan frowned, reaching out his hand, preparing to perform [Karmic Cycle] again.
But Aizen held out his hand.
"No need to trouble yourself, Mr. An Zhiyuan. I didn't come here to fight with this madman."
He took two steps back, seemingly taking the initiative to choose retreat in the dispute with Cao Qi, but his whole person remained calm and composed, faintly controlling the rhythm of the entire scene.
"I came here merely to witness whether the management of the [King of Miracles] and the [King of the Present World] is fair."
"Additionally..."
Aizen turned his head to look at Cao Qi, a mysterious smile revealing at the corners of his mouth.
"You crossed the line first."
While speaking, Aizen turned his head to look somewhere. Kaito Shirogane simultaneously turned his head, but he couldn't see anything.
Cao Qi was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head. He looked at the End of the Great Sun and said:
"You violated the agreement with me. As a [Supreme Being], you actively used an ability on another Reincarnator in the real world."
[End of the Great Sun · Tan Zhishan] frowned, not speaking, because he had indeed imposed an imprisonment on Mercenary Tao before Mercenary Tao attacked him.
Even if that wasn't an offensive ability, if Cao Qi insisted on pursuing it, he indeed counted as having violated the contract.
"As compensation, I want you to pay triple the price to ransom Mahakala's life."
Cao Qi looked at Kaito Shirogane again.
"Using this price as compensation for your loss from being attacked by a Supreme Being, is it acceptable to you?"
Kaito Shirogane covered one eye. In the other eye, countless lusters flowed. He stared blankly at Cao Qi.
"That is... [True Magic]..."
He caught a glimpse of the roots of this Reincarnator who seemed even more powerful than a [Supreme Being].
Also coming from the [Swirl of the Root] of the Type-Moon world, an unknown [True Magic]!
Cao Qi's eyes widened slightly, then he calmly looked at Aizen.
Even at this very moment, still disregarding the cost of his body being on the verge of collapse, frantically absorbing all power.
This Beast of Greed, is this the person you chose?!
Aizen stood diagonally behind Mercenary Tao. The corners of his mouth parted slightly, the smile in his eyes clearly visible.
He was different from those other two.
Precisely because he understood souls best, he knew clearly that a completely restrained and planned individual was worthless.
The creature called [Human] must constantly transcend the Creator's settings, constantly transcend the shackles of destiny, to achieve those unbelievable things.
That is the meaning of the existence of the [Human Species].
Otherwise, if it was purely just praying for power, praying for morality and law, why not seek out the [Divine Spirit Species], [Dragon Species], or even [Astral Spirits].
Aizen raised his head slightly, the arrogance in the depths of his eyes difficult for anyone to see clearly.
Even though they could now share the [Throne] standing in the heavens with him, those two ultimately couldn't understand this point.
He saw Cao Qi concede, no longer wanting to directly put Mercenary Tao into that contract, and turned around to walk towards the sky.
As his figure swayed, a spinning [Card] appeared on his fingertip.
The back of the [Card] was a silver card face, clearly printed with the word [Infinite]. Under the refraction of sunlight, there were also countless complex patterns flowing.
But on the other side of the card face, there was nothing.
This was a blank [Card], a used [Card]. Although he previously didn't know the card face, now, Aizen had already vaguely guessed what kind of card he had chosen.
"Heh, I won."
Kaito Shirogane merely calmly looked at this legendary [Top Three Kings] before him. Even a [Supreme Being] had to obey his contract.
He grinned, revealing a greedy smile. That wasn't greed for the so-called triple ransom; that was greed for the power of these [Top Three Kings].
"Mercenary Tao, from now on, this area is yours. You can hunt any Reincarnator who enters Myanmar at will. But correspondingly, you will be forbidden from using abilities with destructive power above the [Fierce] tier in other countries."
An Zhiyuan added behind Mercenary Tao.
They acknowledged Mercenary Tao's strength. At the same time, they also planned to restrict him to a certain area, just like dealing with other overly powerful Reincarnators.
An Zhiyuan looked at his old friend. The other party was looking towards the west, somewhat distracted.
Old Cao, Old Cao, live a little longer. There are already too many fierce beasts in this world...
An Zhiyuan found it somewhat hard to imagine, on the day Cao Qi died, what these unleashed fierce beasts would tear this world into.
"Big news! Led by His Eminence [End of the Great Sun], the [Kill Mercenary Alliance] formed jointly with [Death Toll Heaven] and [Black Water] besieged Mercenary Tao in Myanmar's [Paradise]!"
"The incident caused over two thousand people injured or dead, and over ten Title-level and above High-tier Reincarnators died!"
"The incident ended with Mercenary Tao's great victory!"
The East District of the Infinite Dimensional Space was in an uproar.
