Chapter 134: Tarot XXI World Reversed

~8 min read 1,408 words

Homelander spread his arms wide, as if God were embracing His people; his face was glowing, and his spirit was more invigorated than ever before.

"Homelander!"

"Homelander!"

Below him, the massive crowd stretched as far as the eye could see.

This was the largest protest mobilization in American history, and one could even say it was highly unlikely to ever be surpassed.

Because without the power of Homelander to suppress things, no government would tolerate a riot of this scale.

Bobby and other members of B45 walked at the very front of the procession, his face equally fanatical, holding a sign that read 【Make Meilijian Great Again】; in his view, the weakness of the government, completely dominated by capital, was the direct reason why ordinary people like them were not living well.

And a Superhero like Homelander, who was powerful and willing to think about problems from their perspective, was truly the most suitable choice.

Meanwhile, the defensive lines of the police and military retreated again and again; the situation did not look like they were stopping Homelander's advance, but rather as if they were leading the way for him.

In fact, these frontline police and soldiers had almost no will to fight when facing a Monster like Homelander.

They were just workers collecting a paycheck; who would be willing to fight that kind of invulnerable Monster? The opponent only needed one blast of Heat Vision, and everyone would be killed like Worms.

Ans had his shoulder shattered and was still receiving treatment; George followed by Bai Cangshu's side, watching the fanatical expressions of the people around him, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Boss, what should we do next? If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause a great disaster..."

He often surfed the internet, and now, due to the momentum of B45, he had also become a big internet celebrity, but he was also quite sensitive to various public opinion events; at this moment, he realized that the behavior of Homelander and their group was tantamount to inciting a civil war.

This was holding hundreds of thousands of people hostage to launch an internal rebellion, forcing the government to make concessions.

Whether it was the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, the government would certainly not be able to tolerate such a thing; a single step of concession at this time would lead to a total loss of prestige.

George even felt that at this moment, there were probably countless sniper rifles, artillery pieces, and missiles all aimed at him, just waiting for the order from that one person in the government.

Everyone present, except for Homelander, would likely be left with no corpse remaining.

Bai Cangshu patted this black man, who still retained a sliver of reason and had not been completely swept up by the crowd, pressed down on the other's neck, pulled him a little closer, and with an inexplicably chilling, evil smile on his face, said:

"George, are you afraid of death?"

Hearing his boss's words, George became even more flustered and nodded.

"Then run, George, use every instinct for survival you have, and run!"

"This place is about to become a Purgatory..."

Bai Cangshu did not know what kind of methods Calamity had, but he was very clear that neither Calamity nor the American Federal Government could sit idly by and watch Homelander act like this.

They would certainly try every possible means to deal with Homelander.

The former Soldier Boy was equally powerful, but he was still captured, brainwashed, and eventually imprisoned.

And in this world, there were not a few powerful Ability Users; even Compound V had the effect of allowing ordinary people to inject it and gain short-term Superpowers.

Although there was a high probability of serious sequelae after use, for these politicians, as long as there was a way, they would naturally use it.

Bai Cangshu looked up at Homelander, who was flying in the air and seemed to possess the whole world at this moment, with a cold look of pity on his face.

【Main Mission 2, current completion: B+, settle now?】

"No."

After Bai Cangshu killed Deep, Main Mission 2 had actually reached its minimum completion; after killing the Evil Child and the accompanying Reincarnator, it had reached a B+ Rating.

He could leave at any time, but he did not leave, all for the sake of inciting greater chaos, killing more strong people, vying for higher rewards, and... killing Calamity...

Hearing Bai Cangshu's words, George felt panicked; he looked back at the people around him, each one of them hoarse and exhausted, and he suddenly turned and rushed out of the crowd, struggling hard to run toward the outside.

He wanted to break away from this team.

Bai Cangshu did not stop him; a light flashed in his hand, and the blue Drop Card was crushed.

【You have opened Stormfront's Drop Card】 【Drop extraction in progress...】

【You have obtained 2000 Dimension Points】

【You have obtained an item, Stormfront's Cloak】

【You have obtained a material, Arm Eroded by Storm (Blue)】

【Stormfront's Cloak】

【Quality: Black Iron Plot Equipment】

【Description: Hero equipment worn personally by Stormfront from the Heipao Shijie, containing peculiar power】

【Wearing requirement: Constitution > 6, Spirit > 6】

【Defense: Low; Durability: Average】

【Effect 1: After wearing, gain the Storm Affinity Tese, increasing these two types of abilities by 1 level】

【Effect 2: Wearing grants the special ability: Slow Fall (E), this ability cannot be upgraded】

!

The quality of Stormfront's Drop Card was only blue, but the things opened were quite good.

Bai Cangshu then picked up that special card as if no one else was around; he rubbed the face of the card, and the card instantly cut his finger—this kind of thing itself was very special.

You must know that even after being eroded, Bai Cangshu's Constitution was still as high as 13 points, nearly three times that of a normal person; his skin was very tough and would not be pierced by any card or the like.

But at this moment, fresh blood flowed out again on the smooth surface of the card.

【Special Item bound】

【Sequence Tarot, activation starting...】

In Bai Cangshu's field of vision, the face of the card in his hand began to change; unlike the Great Sin Card he had obtained before, no scarlet handwriting appeared on this card.

It was just that a large amount of radiance began to appear all around, condensing toward the card.

These radiances bit by bit engraved a new pattern on the back of the pitch-black card.

Against a background of sky, emerald green leaves formed a gate; a naked goddess, draped in a thin veil, was dancing with her back to the gate, and in the center of the card, the number symbol 【XXI】 appeared.

【Sequence stabilized, Tarot World Reversed (XXI) successfully bound】

【Activating... Activation failed, Reincarnator EX051's innate ability not anchored】

Bai Cangshu watched those radiances slowly dissipate, leaving behind only a card that had completely transformed into the style of a Tarot card in his hand.

This manifestation was clearly not the same thing as the inability to activate that Mu described; what Mu spoke of was having no qualifications, and the card would not undergo any changes.

And at this moment, Bai Cangshu clearly knew that this card was one of the twenty-two special cards that the Professor spoke of as "Tarot Twenty-Two, bestowed upon the chosen ones."

Furthermore, it was the 【World】, which symbolizes the finality and the end in Tarot cards.

"Tsk, it's not the 【Fool】 card? And here I was thinking I was some kind of protagonist."

Bai Cangshu teased himself with complete indifference.

At the same time, the fact that he was able to make this card change also indicated one thing.

Bai Cangshu had not expected that he was also a so-called chosen one, but it seemed that no Reincarnator had discovered him in advance, and besides... he had not experienced the special treatment that the chosen ones were supposed to receive as described in the space.

Does his situation actually count as being a chosen one?

He knew in his heart that those matters could probably only be answered upon returning to the space, and for now, it was time to cooperate with the Calamity wave to completely collapse this country...

The winner takes the High-level Singularity and all other rewards generated as a result, while the loser... eats dust!
