Chapter 185: Sequence Sublimation (4k)
Pfft!
A member of the God's Guard was sent flying by a massive force, slamming into the wall and instantly losing consciousness.
Bai Cangshu was like an unstoppable beast, his footwork never ceasing as he charged straight into the Shendian; the spears of the God's Guard members he encountered could not pierce him at all, and instead, Bai Cangshu smashed them into the walls one by one with each hand.
But it had to be said, the vitality of these ordinary people in the Pirate World was quite formidable; having come all this way, the number of people he had actually killed was less than half.
Soon, Bai Cangshu arrived at the central area of the Shendian; he did not encounter the last priest, Forest Satori, but instead saw a person tied to a corner of the Shendian by a Golden Chain.
Bellamy, a Pirate with a bounty of 55 million Beli, possessed the ability of the Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Shanzhuang Guoshi.
Step, step.
The sound of footsteps that Bai Cangshu deliberately revealed caused Bellamy to wake up; he looked at this familiar Fierce Person—it was this guy who forced him to flee and spread the news of the Golden Town, leading to him being captured by that lightning monster.
Bellamy glared at Bai Cangshu, but his state at this moment was extremely poor, with large patches of charred skin on his body, and he could only be helplessly lifted up by the other party gripping his neck.
Bai Cangshu felt the muscles on Bellamy's neck; frankly speaking, the other party's strength should be considered quite good, it was just that his technique was very crude.
"Bellamy, you only have one sentence of time now to make me spare your life."
Stimulated by the cold killing intent, Bellamy's Spirit cleared somewhat; he did not understand why this guy would break into the Shendian, nor why he wanted to kill him, and what benefit doing this could possibly have for this guy...
There were too many things he could not figure out, but as their eyes met, the indifference and cold killing intent in those eyes made his mouth open and close several times without saying any harsh words.
He had a strong intuition that once he opened his mouth to say those useless harsh words, the other party would definitely not give him a second chance to speak.
"I... I know the news about the Emerald City..."
Bai Cangshu had already prepared to crush the other party; for a Reincarnator, the common value of a Plot Character was that they might drop items after being killed.
But Bellamy actually gave a piece of news that surprised Bai Cangshu.
Emerald City... in the original work, this name had indeed appeared, and Bellamy had placed it alongside the Golden Town and the Great Treasure One Piece, believing them all to be illusory stories.
But at this very moment, the Golden Town had truly appeared in the world, and the One Piece had also been confirmed to exist in reality in the original work via Whitebeard; Bellamy speaking of the news of the Emerald City at this time made Bai Cangshu unwilling to kill him for the moment.
"Emerald City, do you intend to use such an ethereal legend to extend your life?!"
Bai Cangshu exerted force with his right hand, and Bellamy immediately felt a sharp pain as if his spine were about to crack; he struggled.
"No, I obtained a sea chart with a mark for the Emerald City on it; I originally thought it was fake, but since the Golden Town has appeared, perhaps... no, the Emerald City must also be real!"
"Where is the sea chart?"
Bai Cangshu calculated the time in his heart; he suddenly gave a hard tug, snapping the Golden Chain behind Bellamy's neck, and Bai Cangshu directly dragged Bellamy by the chain as he continued to walk inside.
Bellamy knew his condition had a chance of survival, so he also struggled to keep up with the pace, saying continuously,
"I left the sea chart in a certain place in Mock Town; as long as you take me out alive and set me free, I will hand the sea chart over to you..."
【You have triggered the hidden side quest: The Legend of the Emerald City】
【Task Description: You have learned of the news of one of the most precious treasures on the sea, the Emerald City; fulfill Bellamy's conditions to obtain the mysterious sea chart】
【Task Content: Ensure Bellamy's Survival and arrival at Mock Town】
【Task Reward: Treasure Map: The Legend of the Emerald City (Rare and Peerless)】
Bai Cangshu had not expected that Bellamy would have something of such value on him, so he temporarily dismissed the idea of killing the other party.
Holding the Golden Chain in his hand like a hunter truly leading a Hyena, he arrived at the deepest part of the Shendian.
Under the illumination of the lights, this place was glittering with gold and was already entirely composed of gold; Bai Cangshu guessed that this place was already close to the location of the Golden Town.
Moreover, there was not a single guard in the vicinity, and the atmosphere was somewhat eerie; Bai Cangshu continued forward and finally saw Vergo, who had lost his right arm, his lower body sealed by gold and embedded in the golden wall.
His upper body maintained Armament Haki reinforcement, but his face was twisted, his mouth split at an angle exceeding the limit of an ordinary person, and new eyes had opened on both his cheeks.
Seeing this appearance, Bellamy's expression also changed drastically; he had seen this Navy officer before, as the other party had previously broken into the Shendian with great strength, but was ultimately captured by Enel; he had not expected him to become neither human nor Ghost at this time.
Bai Cangshu frowned; the other party's appearance was clearly influenced by the thing in that pyramid, but why would Enel do this?
He walked forward another distance, arriving in a golden passage of about two hundred meters, and then his expression changed.
In this passage, almost every ten meters, there was a "person" like Vergo bound in the wall by gold; without exception, everyone's body had undergone terrifying alienation, and the closer they were to the end of the passage, the more severe the alienation.
And the tall Heavenly Yaksha, Doflamingo, was imprisoned at the innermost position of the passage at this time.
The once arrogant Donquixote Doflamingo had now completely transformed into a hideous Monster; the hair on his head had fallen out completely, and fine red scales had grown on his skin and flesh; if not for the iconic flamingo feather coat on his upper body, Bai Cangshu would not have been able to identify the other party's identity.
Bellamy clearly recognized Doflamingo as well; he found it somewhat unbelievable, as once upon a time, Doflamingo was the image of a true Great Pirate in Bellamy's eyes.
Fierce, cruel, powerful, with a massive force.
Doflamingo satisfied all of Bellamy's fantasies about a powerful figure on the sea.
But now, such a figure had also completely transformed into a Monster, constantly twisting his body at the end of the passage.
Bai Cangshu understood; Enel was testing...
He was testing the range and intensity of the erosion caused by those monsters inside the pyramid.
And this time, the captured Vergo and Doflamingo, because they both mastered the power of Haki, were used by Enel to test whether Haki could resist the erosion.
The result was negative; Doflamingo, who possessed all three types of Haki, was placed in the closest position by Enel and suffered complete erosion, while Vergo, who was relatively further away, suffered partial erosion.
Ignoring Bellamy's resistance, Bai Cangshu directly hauled the other party and walked toward the passage.
"Guts... Guts... you've appeared again..."
Just as Bai Cangshu entered the passage, that voice appeared again.
Bai Cangshu did not respond and continued to move forward.
Bellamy immediately felt uncomfortable; he clutched his forehead, feeling a needle-like pain in his head.
"Guts... don't kill me... have you forgotten, we once fought against Gelifisi together, we searched for the traces of the God Hand together..."
"You cannot forget!"
"You said that Roland was your friend, you said... even if you truly became the new king, you would not forget your friends... Guts..."
That voice became more and more intense, more and more twisted.
【You have suffered erosion from the Youjie, and are undergoing a Spirit check...】
【Check passed, you have exempted yourself from this erosion】
Before Bai Cangshu, the Infinite Dimensional Space continuously issued prompts, and the frequency of that erosion was becoming higher and higher; Bellamy had already begun to show signs of blurred consciousness, and was now being dragged along entirely by Bai Cangshu's force.
Bai Cangshu's Spirit attribute also touched the Extreme Value; the benefit of his balanced attribute development was that he had no shortcomings, and at this moment, his immunity to this kind of abnormal erosion was also quite high.
"Guts, it's your fault... it's all your fault..."
"If it weren't to bring you out of that miserable world... I wouldn't have entered that kind of Purgatory, and I wouldn't have been targeted by that guy..."
"No, come to think of it, the Captain just doesn't have a good brain... talking about saving everyone... then he should come and save me!"
Hum!
Following the shrill roar of that unknown existence, a powerful impact began to appear; Bai Cangshu discovered that the world before his eyes began to show phenomena of blurring and distortion; he blinked his eyes, but the blurring and distortion still existed.
Bai Cangshu shook his head, somewhat unable to distinguish whether this phenomenon was truly real or an anomaly appearing from his own Spirit erosion.
The danger of this guy rose once again in Bai Cangshu's heart.
"Run... run quickly..."
Bellamy spoke, his voice becoming slurred; Bai Cangshu lowered his head and saw that inside Bellamy's mouth, his tongue had begun to grow abnormally; it was clear that even a Pirate of Bellamy's level, having only approached a distance of several dozen meters and stayed for such a short time, had already suffered erosion.
He stopped his Footwork, picked up Bellamy, and turned to leave rapidly.
Seemingly hearing the sound of Bai Cangshu's retreating Footwork, that voice suddenly became more urgent, as if weeping.
"Luffy... are you going to abandon me... once again..."
At this moment, Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted; he gathered Qi with his hand and fired a Dodon Ray at the heads of Doflamingo and Vergo respectively.
Both of their heads were blasted apart simultaneously, but Doflamingo's body began to grow strangely and rapidly, and he began to roar.
【You killed Vergo, obtained 2500 Dimension Points】
【You obtained a Drop Card (Blue)】
Bai Cangshu did not look back and quickly left the Shendian; at this time, he could still hear that terrifying sound of gunfire occasionally ringing out, but that sword light which split the clouds did not appear again; he did not know if the Moon Demon had fled or had already been defeated a step ahead.
Bai Cangshu carried Bellamy and hid back inside the White District; the little girl Cindy and Orgins had not returned at this time, and he did not know if they were taking refuge somewhere.
"Hey, save me, I feel my neck is so itchy..."
Bellamy asked for help weakly; Bai Cangshu only took one look, and small fleshy tumors had begun to grow on the other's neck.
But he had no time to deal with this minor situation that would not endanger Bellamy's life at this moment; he quickly organized the Intelligence of this operation in his mind.
That guy locked in the pyramid called himself 【Roland】 and was a Reincarnator...
But could a Reincarnator actually stay in a mission world for more than two years? How much special... would that cost in penalties from the Infinite Dimensional Space? Was there really a Reincarnator who could pay such a price to achieve Survival?
And also... Bai Cangshu took out that severed arm; at this moment, he probably already knew the possible owner of this arm—it was actually Luffy?!
Bai Cangshu found it hard to believe; even Luffy, who had awakened Nika, theoretically should not exceed the upper limit of this world by too much, so how could such a rare material be produced?
Bai Cangshu suddenly remembered that once, in the Demon Slayer World, that Reincarnator who called himself 【Professor】 had once told him a rumor about the Infinite Dimensional Space.
"In the Infinite Dimensional Space, there are not only human Reincarnators from our reality..."
"Legend has it that in this space, there exists an organization named 【Black King Society】; they are a special Reincarnator team Gathering composed of kings whose entire worlds were stolen; their only goal... is to kill all Reincarnators who have committed evil acts."
Bai Cangshu carefully recalled the mission process of this world; when he first entered, there were Reincarnators who deliberately provoked battles, eventually being wiped out by Enel, and leaving him in the disadvantageous position of -7 points.
And the strength of the second batch of Reincarnators who entered this world was clearly superior to his own batch, but when the Infinite Dimensional Space divided the team battle factions, it was based on batches; although it could not be guaranteed whether this batch of Reincarnators was divided into multiple team factions and needed to fight internally, judging from this perspective, the Infinite Dimensional Space did not seem to care enough about weak Reincarnators like himself...
In the second batch of Reincarnators, there appeared 【Moon Demon】 and 【Flame Demon】, who had crossed the First Tier and were 【Strong】 rank Reincarnators with no small reputation in the Infinite Dimensional Space; then who would the third batch of entering Reincarnators be?
Bai Cangshu already had a vague guess in his heart.
He felt bored and irritable about such troublesome missions, and even less did he want to get involved in considerations of right and wrong between Justice and non-Justice, or between Reincarnators and Plot Characters.
"Unpleasant, very unpleasant..."
Bai Cangshu stood up, his whole body exuding a terrifying murderous aura; he had a terrible impulse to release that guy inside the pyramid and let everyone be eroded.
But looking at the food deliberately left on the table, he rarely suppressed that impulse and sat back down.
Only then did he have time to check the spoils and Infinite Dimensional Space prompts from the previous battle.
【Sin Points meet the advancement conditions, Sequence upgraded, Great Sin begins to manifest...】
【Manifestation complete】
【Great Sin Reincarnator ex051, you can now open the Second Order Great Sin Sequence and perform sublimation】
【Pride (Synchronization Rate 84%): Sublimation requires Heart of Pride *1】
【Greed Sin (Synchronization Rate 81%): Sublimation requires Heart of Greed *1】
【Betrayal (Synchronization Rate 77%): Sublimation requires Heart of Betrayal *1】
【Envy (Synchronization Rate 45%): Sublimation requires Heart of Envy *1】
【Lust Sin (Synchronization Rate 8%): Synchronization rate too low, cannot be opened】
【Wrath (Synchronization Rate 53%): Sublimation requires Heart of Wrath *1】
(Note: Once a choice is made for sublimation, it cannot be reversed; the quality of the sublimation material does not affect the success rate of the Sequence opening; only a 100% synchronization rate, consuming 10 Sin Points and the material, is needed to complete the Sequence advancement)
The number of Great Sins appearing here was far more than the Seven Deadly Sins described most of the time, and many had overlapping areas; Bai Cangshu looked at the scarlet luster on his right hand, and suddenly, in Bellamy's terrified gaze, his right hand formed a Taoist Palm and violently stabbed into his own chest.
