Chapter 188: Causality Law, the Beginning of Destruction (3k)

Bai Cangshu leaped freely in the air; mastering Moon Walk was extremely convenient for him, as he was already a Martial Artist who had attained a high level of proficiency in martial arts.

He could perfectly control his body, center of gravity, and the flow of Force.

He was the type who could maximize the dissipation of an opponent's attacks and counter them while on the ground, so now that he had mastered Moon Walk, he would no longer have the weakness of becoming a target unable to change direction freely once he jumped into the air.

Thud—the sound of Bai Cangshu landing on the deck was incredibly faint; he looked at a group of people in black on the warship, all of whom were pointing guns at him at this moment.

Standing in the very center of the deck was a man with a somewhat flustered expression; the half-mask on the man's face and the sword with a handguard allowed Bai Cangshu to recognize his identity.

"Hey, Dalmatian, hurry up and capture this guy! Don't you see he's slaughtering civilians?!"

Dalmatian kept a cold face; he could see clearly that the group of islanders seemed to have contracted some kind of illness, their eyes bloodshot and quite violent.

"Aren't you the one who was planning to bombard these islanders anyway? Why pretend to care so much about these civilians?"

Stung by Dalmatian's retort, Spandam became even angrier.

Yet, based on this exchange, Bai Cangshu knew that there was a high probability Dalmatian had passively become the object of the World Government's forced support.

The existence of Golden Town, aside from its appeal to those overlords of the underworld, naturally held the greatest attraction for the World Government and the Revolutionary Army.

The appearance of the CP agency did not surprise Bai Cangshu; he sized up this group of Navy personnel, his ears twitched, and the black markings on his skin seemed to flow; he had a novel sense coming into play.

He suddenly perceived that there were still a few low, heavy breaths inside the warship's cabin.

Spandam should be in charge of CP9 at this time, but since Rob Lucci and the others of CP9 were long-term undercover in Water 7, those in the cabin were likely the others.

"Vice Admiral, I didn't expect you to be unable to act according to your own will either. In that case, I'll just take that little girl who persisted on the island for two years waiting for Navy reinforcements back."

"After all... the current Vice Admiral is not the reinforcement she was waiting for."

Bai Cangshu said these heart-piercing words with a calm expression; Dalmatian was not as brutal and iron-blooded as Onigumo, but likewise, as a hawk-faction officer, he naturally would not feel much guilt over Bai Cangshu's words, which used a little girl as a smokescreen.

He just darkened his face and said,

"As a Marine, one must naturally obey orders."

"You should also return to the G51 Branch immediately; the mission on that island has nothing to do with the Navy from your branch anymore."

Dalmatian still wanted to drive this overly cruel, talented Marine away from the island that was about to become a Purgatory.

But some people clearly did not want Bai Cangshu to leave just like that.

"Hey hey, Vice Admiral Dalmatian, Officer Spandam, with such combat power here, how can we not make good use of it?"

"The enemies on that island are even more dangerous than imagined; my ability... I'm afraid I won't be able to control that guy for long."

A hoarse, magnetic voice rang out, and a silver-haired woman, also wearing a black suit uniform, walked out from the warship's cabin.

The woman's breathing rhythm was very slow, yet her muscles were very well-proportioned; in Bai Cangshu's eyes, this body also possessed considerable explosive power, combining both speed and strength.

"Don't you agree, Tao Baibai?"

The silver-haired woman had a red heart-shaped mark at the corner of her eye and was holding a burning talisman in her hand.

It was clearly through some kind of item that she had kept Enel lingering outside the island.

Seeing this woman, Spandam's expression also improved for once; he said unhappily,

"If you want this kind of Marine, you can just replenish them from the warships behind, right? I see the injuries on those guys aren't serious either."

The woman had a high enough Reputation within the World Government; behind her, the Werewolf Jabra and the bull-horned Blueno also walked out.

"No, no, no, Officer Spandam, there are some enemies on that island who, I'm afraid, no one is more suitable to eliminate than this Marine and me. You know, we have many methods; even a Headquarters Vice Admiral might fail if they aren't careful."

The woman pointed out the special status of Bai Cangshu and herself directly; she walked straight up to Bai Cangshu and said,

"Tao Baibai, I think you also need a temporary ally, don't you?"

"I think even a guy like you is under quite a bit of pressure from negative points right now."

Bai Cangshu finally moved his gaze away from Blueno; the Door-Door Fruit of 【Blueno】 was of high value, and his greedy gaze was undisguised, but Blueno's attitude was indifferent, not taking people like Bai Cangshu seriously.

【You have triggered the Side Mission: The World Government's Purge】

【Mission Description: Rumors of Golden Town have aroused the covetousness of the World Government. They have decided to secretly seize the gold of Golden Town, but before transferring the gold, they must ensure the safety and secrecy of Golden Town】

【Mission Content: Purge the living forces on Skuld Island to prevent the intelligence of Golden Town from spreading further】

【Mission Progress: 17%】

【Mission Reward: Significant increase in World Government Reputation, unlock the Exchange Shop】

Bai Cangshu glanced at Cindy and Orgins, who were still at a loss in the seawater below, then looked at Blueno and Jabra, who were about to become his teammates, and nodded readily.

"Vice Admiral Dalmatian is right; I am a Marine, and I must obey orders."

He saluted Spandam with a grin.

"Marine Tao Baibai at your service."

But Spandam felt as if the other's gaze was glued to his own sword, which made him somewhat unhappy.

Cindy was eventually brought onto the ship; she looked at this large group of Navy personnel in confusion; no one asked her about the situation on the island, and no one cared about the news of Officer Kori.

She glanced at Bai Cangshu; the red on his hands was so glaring that she dared not approach him again, only staying timidly by Orgins' side.

Bai Cangshu then returned to the small lifeboat-like dinghy amidst the roar of the warship's cannons; the female Reincarnator who called herself 【Silver Light】, along with a group of CP members and Navy members like Dalmatian, also began to land using lifeboats.

"It seems the Flame Demon is injured, his whereabouts are unknown, but his few teammates should have all arrived on this island after their Pirate ship was blown up."

"Now is the best opportunity for us to farm points."

The woman seemed to have a good grasp of Intelligence; Bai Cangshu saw her clutching that talisman in her hand and said,

"How much time do we have?"

Silver Light did not explain whether she belonged to the same faction as Bai Cangshu, and Bai Cangshu did not ask; both had their own hidden agendas, but without exception, both were tempted by those Reincarnators on the island.

The woman looked at the speed at which her talisman was burning and said,

"About half an hour."

Boom—!

The Navy cannons continued to bombard, and the wrecked ships in the harbor soon turned into scattered garbage on the sea.

Dalmatian was tall and his feet had transformed into a beastly form; he disliked this kind of mission and said coldly,

"Tell me the enemy's location; I won't waste much time."

Clearly, he was prepared to swiftly execute the strong individuals on the island. At this moment, Jabra swept one leg, and a terrifying slash instantly cut a group of red-eyed islanders on the beach in two.

Bai Cangshu moved his right foot. He had seen the method of executing the 【Tempest Kick】 clearly, but besides speed, this move also contained some other techniques.

A flash of light appeared in Yinguang's hand, and a white piece of paper quickly began to move on its own in the air; the paper folded and rapidly transformed into the shape of a bird.

Yinguang dipped the paper bird in the blood of the islanders on the ground, then pinched a hand seal and tossed it, and the paper bird flew off automatically.

"Vice Admiral, this bird will guide you to find the guy who released the virus. I think there's also a guy who can turn invisible hiding nearby."

Dalmatian let out a cold snort, watched the trajectory of the paper bird, and left quickly.

Jabra and Blueno were not commanded by the woman. They exchanged a glance and charged directly toward the Shendian; clearly, the mission to search for the 【Golden Town】 rested on them.

"Tao Baibai, we have a very good hunting target right now. Are you interested?"

Bai Cangshu pretended not to feel the traces of Cursed Energy flowing on the other party. Due to his special Constitution, Bai Cangshu was quite sensitive to spirit arts, curse arts, and Yin-Yang Arts.

Moreover, he had once mastered the energy known as Cursed Energy. At this moment, the Cursed Energy that the woman was continuously injecting into the ground was, in his perception, as obvious as could be.

Because of the spread of that virus and Enel's cruel rule, this island had long been filled with negative energy. The woman seemed to want to summon a powerful Cursed Spirit in this world.

But the more she schemed with these things, the less Bai Cangshu cared.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Moon Demon!"

The woman looked at Tao Baibai, knowing that the other party would not refuse at all.

Sure enough, she saw Tao Baibai narrow his eyes and then reveal a smile.

"Was she injured by Enel?"

"Where is she?"

Yinguang pointed in one direction and said,

"Right in that direction, about a dozen kilometers away. I can feel that her condition is not good."

Bai Cangshu looked in the direction the woman pointed; it was opposite to the Shendian, on the other side of the island.

——

"In the Golden Town, is there such a thing..."

Black Death stood outside the Huangjin Tongdao and asked somewhat uncertainly.

As a popular world within the Infinite Dimensional Space, most of the plot lines of the Pirate World had been excavated by Reincarnators, and the Golden Town was no exception. There were even rumors in the space that some Reincarnator had once completely dominated the Golden Town and brought it back to the space.

But this current situation...

Appearing before Black Death were countless monsters with twisted limbs standing within the Huangjin Tongdao. They seemed to be those islanders infected by the Blood Cross who had arrived here after flooding into the Shendian.

These monsters with twisted limbs emitted a bizarre aura, and the detection triggered by the erosion was activated again and again.

Finally, a voice rang out from afar.

"Reincarnator..."

"Just as Causality has decreed, at this moment, in this place..."

"I shall obtain freedom!"

In his astonishment, Black Death saw 【Luo Zang】, who had merged into one with the Huangjin Tongdao, walking into the passage as if he had lost his mind. He wanted to stop him, but those unrecognizable monsters had already reached out their hands toward him.

Damn it, this is... Causality?!

Black Death revealed a look of horror.

How is it possible? How could one encounter a power like Causality in this 【Strong】-tier mission...
