Chapter 16: Return

Bang!

It was as if a bomb had detonated inside his body.

Tao Baibai's body burst with a bang; amidst the flying flesh and blood, Moshan—who had lost an arm and whose Chakra butterfly wings on his back were half-shattered—had his pupils dilated, soaked in a mist of blood.

He reached out his hand, as if wanting to sense whether he had fallen for an Illusion Technique.

A rather retro-looking pickup truck appeared in the spot where Tao Baibai had just been.

【Main Mission: Kill Tao Baibai, has failed】

【Mission failure penalty, erased!】

Scarlet text appeared before Moshan's eyes, and his nerves, congested from the battle, instantly turned cold.

Enma also reacted, but with a flash of light in his hand, he instantly crushed an item.

【You have used the item: Scapegoat Doll, penalty transferring...】

"Moshan, hurry and use your item!"

But Moshan remained stunned in place; his pupils constricted as he realized something, and he roared,

"You idiot, did you not prepare a 【Scapegoat Doll】?!"

The 【Scapegoat Doll】 is a rare item with an extremely special origin in the space, created by a mysterious Gathering called 【Destiny】; this type of item can exempt one from the penalties of a failed space mission.

But the side effect is that the mission will yield no rewards, and even one-third of the items carried on one's person will be lost at random.

Almost all high-level teams will find a way to prepare this item for their Elite members to prevent them from dying due to space penalties.

However, Moshan had exhausted the funds provided by the team in advance to purchase more 【Slave Shackles】, believing himself to be powerful, and furthermore, this mission involved teaming up with the two renowned Elite Reincarnators of the East District, 【Yuemo】 and 【Enma】.

He had thought it was foolproof, but he never expected that not only would he have a falling out with 【Yuemo】 and part ways early, but he would also inexplicably encounter the penalty for a failed Main Mission.

Moshan looked back at 【Enma】, his face twisted with fear.

It was also the first time Enma had seen Moshan show an expression other than that evil, boisterous laughter.

So this guy is capable of fear after all... Enma thought to himself, and the next moment, Moshan opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to call for help.

Bang! His head exploded instantly, his headless body swayed twice, crashed to the ground, and then went completely still.

【Your team member BG184652333 (Moshan) has died】

Enma was shaken to his core, unable to believe his partner had just died like that.

Although he didn't take Moshan seriously when fighting, and could attack recklessly even while Moshan was in the fray,

that was because they had worked together for a long time and he knew Moshan actually had a very strong immunity to damage; the two of them had used this pattern to kill many powerful enemies.

His partnership with Moshan was the fundamental reason he could firmly occupy the position of leader in this new team; although Yuemo was strong, she was a lone wolf.

But at this moment, Moshan had actually been erased in a mission like this?!

He suddenly remembered the battle prompt that had popped up when they were fighting Tao Baibai just now.

【Number Ex051 launched an attack on the nun, damage has been blocked by the Barrier Technique】

"Number Ex051? A Reincarnator with a special number!"

Roar! Enma instantly underwent a full Dragon Transformation; a red giant dragon over ten meters long appeared, flying high as its wings vibrated. He had to find that hidden Special Reincarnator! ——【You have killed the important Plot Character: Tao Baibai】

【Obtained 1 B-Rank Singularity】

【Obtained 3000 Dimension Points】

【Your Reputation with Tao Baibai has been cleared to zero】

【Your Reputation with the Heshanren faction has solidified to Hatred】

【You have unlocked new Milestones: Overcoming the Superior, The Betrayer, Evil Party】

... A massive amount of information began to scroll across the screen instantly. Bai Cangshu was running wildly down through the mountain forest; in a few moments, his clothes were shredded by the thickets, and large areas of wounds appeared on his body.

But Bai Cangshu seemed unable to feel the pain; his muscles swelled slightly, his eyes turned white, and he had already entered the "onset" state. He was running at full speed almost entirely downhill, and by constantly trying to change direction, he managed to dodge several attacks.

Faster, settle it faster! At this moment, a card with a purple hue appeared before Bai Cangshu, and he grabbed it as he passed.

【You have obtained a Purple Drop Card】

Hum! Before he could look closely, a verdant green fan-shaped blade lit up from the night. Bai Cangshu gritted his teeth and leaped directly forward, jumping straight from the mountain forest over ten meters high into the valley.

Pfft! The mountain forest was sliced open neatly.

This kind of sword technique's lethality was too terrifying; it was simply like cutting a mountain range as if it were tofu! Bai Cangshu had also watched the One Piece anime, but the effects in the anime were ultimately not as terrifying as experiencing it firsthand.

【Team 64323 has lost 1 member, Side Mission completed】

【Obtained 1 C-Rank Singularity】

【Obtained 1000 Dimension Points】

【No damage contribution detected from you toward BG184652333 (Moshan); this loss is judged as a special loss, unable to obtain kill rewards】

【Team 64323 failed to kill Tao Baibai, Trial Mission II completed】

【Special Trial: Sin and Karma has been completed, Sin Sequence activated】

Bai Cangshu's right hand suddenly burned with unbearable pain; the scarlet "Sin" character emerged in an instant, and Bai Cangshu lost his balance, falling heavily and crashing onto the dry riverbed of the valley.

This sharp pain came quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Bai Cangshu noticed complex black-red patterns appearing on the back of his hand, which then vanished shortly after.

【Trial completed, do you wish to leave this world?】

Rumble!

Amidst the terrifying sound of a mountain landslide, the man in the green robe changed direction several times in mid-air, rushing into the valley. Bai Cangshu realized the opponent possessed an extraordinary sensory ability; no matter how he used the rain, mist, and forest to hide, he could not shake off the pursuit.

Although he didn't know why the opponent was so persistent, he instinctively felt that he was likely not the one in control of this complex terrain, and he would be slaughtered in a few moments.

Roar! A massive dragon roar sounded, and a giant fire dragon instantly cleared the rain and mist in the valley.

Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted, and he immediately set his mind to it.

【Yes】

Hum! A sword light instantly slashed across Bai Cangshu's body, but his body had already become like a phantom without substance, slowly disappearing amidst the massive commotion of the ground being sliced open.

Bai Cangshu heard the fire dragon's angry roar echoing throughout the entire river valley for the last time.

Yet Bai Cangshu had already returned to a pitch-black space, where his performance after entering the Dragon Ball World began to play repeatedly before him.

From his calmness when facing Tao Baibai after entering the space, to the cruelty of his sudden outburst to kill Abola to seize money and rob the gun shop, it finally paused at the moment he pressed the Universal Capsule to restore the car and kill Tao Baibai.
