Chapter 195: Throne of the Heart (3k)

"You are that little mouse who has been hiding all this time."

Thunder crackled all over Enel's body, and the electric ions in the surrounding air were flickering in and out of existence.

He had actually noticed this little mouse who escaped during his first strike, but the opponent had been hiding very well, and he couldn't be bothered to expend the effort to find them.

He hadn't expected that that evil spirit would actually fall into the opponent's body.

"Ha~"

White Qi sprayed from the opponent's mouth and nose; this phenomenon indicated that the opponent's body temperature had become terrifyingly high.

Enel frowned; he sensed something abnormal.

The next moment.

The person before his eyes seemed to have vanished into thin air, and as a fist tore through the air, pitch-black lightning pierced through Enel's body.

Enel's pupils constricted; he felt himself submerged by a surging Haki, and at this moment, he couldn't even manage to initiate his elemental transformation.

Bang!

The terrifying monster strength, accompanied by magma, exploded out of thin air once again, and dozens of meters of red lotuses bloomed in the air.

Enel spat out a mouthful of blood, shattered a large number of tumors, and flew nearly a thousand meters before slamming into the ground.

Zzzzt~

Electric currents darted across Enel's body surface; he was attempting to use electricity to stimulate his cellular activity.

The spasms in his left hand had only just subsided, and he already felt fear in his heart.

What exactly was that pitch-black lightning? It was far more terrifying than Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki; the opponent could not only strike his physical body but also suppress his active elemental transformation.

This kind of ability...

Whoosh!

Bai Cangshu's figure tore through the air as he arrived, throwing a punch that sent purple-black Wave spreading out from his body; at this instant, Enel felt as if he, the Thunder God, had also been electrocuted, and he instantly turned into electric current and dispersed.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu threw a punch, and the purple-black Killing Intent Wave swept out with a roar like a terrifying storm.

Under the sweep of the Killing Intent Wave, the human faces on the ground were almost completely wiped out, and this wave flew a thousand meters away, exploding and whipping up a gale.

Enel's figure coalesced in the sky.

Below, Bai Cangshu had already swiftly arrived in front of the man-wolf Monster that had just climbed up, staggering the hundred-meter-tall figure with a single punch, then grabbing the man-wolf's tail and violently slamming it back onto the ground.

Enel felt a slight relief; this guy seemed to lack reason and was in a chaotic state, attacking whoever approached.

Enel stood in the air, beginning to prepare for a long-range sniping.

He reached out his hand toward the sky.

【Divine Punishment】!

The lightning light flew into the sky in an instant, followed by a thunderbolt over ten meters in diameter falling from the sky.

But Bai Cangshu's spiritual perception was sharp, making him difficult to lock onto.

What made Enel feel even more troublesome was that his usually infallible 【Heart Net】 seemed to have completely lost its effect at this moment.

The opponent's heart was a mess, and he couldn't hear any useful information at all.

He seemed to hear tens of thousands of voices screaming and wailing madly in the opponent's heart simultaneously, just like another Purgatory unfolding within the opponent's body, and in the end, all that was revealed was pure, extreme killing intent.

Was this the influence of that evil spirit?!

Enel vaguely felt that the evil spirit had likely fallen into some kind of trap, and the current situation was beyond the control of that evil spirit capable of eroding human hearts.

In the empty Consciousness Space, 【Hope Morning Star·Roland】, or rather 【God's Hand Roland】, was still somewhat dazed at this moment.

He looked at the Yellow Springs, which had become manic due to the riot of tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits, with Senluo Death Intent flowing in the river water.

Countless Resentful Spirits with indistinguishable faces were looking at the empty Heart Throne in the sky, restless.

With the path of life severed, the path to reincarnation was also cut off; they had originally been trapped in this Yellow Springs with no way to move on, but today, they discovered that the cold, steel-like main consciousness—that madman Bai Cangshu—had been dragged off the Heart Throne by a force.

None of the Resentful Spirits wanted to miss this chance to revive once more.

They began to madly surge with the power of the Soul; whether it was Resentful Spirits, vengeful spirits, or even Cursed Spirits, they didn't care—as long as they could possess power, as long as they could reoccupy a physical body, and be able to feel fresh life once again...

That would be just too wonderful!

Roar!

Roland saw with his own eyes a tall male Resentful Spirit fall into becoming some kind of vengeful spirit under intense emotion, its figure stretching dozens of times larger, madly trampling and crushing other Resentful Spirits as it climbed toward the Heart Throne in the sky.

And in front, tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits had already piled up into a pitch-black Spirit Tower, gradually approaching that position.

Roland realized where the problem lay; in the future he had seen, he had indeed invaded this Reincarnator's body, and in the end, he had also seen this Reincarnator grip Guts's Dragonslayer sword with the Left Hand of the King, swinging a terrifying slash at the God of the Abyss.

But was that... really him?!

Roland had never heard of anyone whose sea of consciousness was in such a state.

He had heard of one body with two souls, or even cases of split consciousness with dozens or hundreds of personalities, but the scene before his eyes far exceeded that limit.

This guy, this Reincarnator codenamed Tao Baibai, was simply a mess inside his body.

He shifted his gaze and saw, in another corner, the consciousness of Tao Baibai himself, laughing wildly as he tore apart other Resentful Spirits in front of him, also climbing toward that "Spirit Tower."

The opponent seemed to be quite enjoying himself.

This guy was not normal.

Roland took a deep breath, and a brilliant white light erupted from his body; the vengeful spirits around him were illuminated by the light and instantly restored to the appearance of Resentful Spirits, each with their hands pressed together, as if they were about to ascend to Heaven.

He had once been one of the holders of the special card 【Virtue】 and had advanced to the third Sequence, manifesting Virtue into 【Hope Morning Star】; he could not only grant himself hope but also bestow hope upon others.

This 【Hope】 was not a form of mental suggestion or Illusion Technique, but a definite possibility.

Even for an ordinary person, when faced with certain death in the center of a nuclear explosion, as long as they were granted 【Hope】, they would possess a very low probability of Survival—whether the nuclear explosion failed or aliens invaded, the possibility of survival would always appear in one of the countless possible worlds.

This was 【Hope Morning Star】.

At this moment, these Resentful Spirits pressing their hands together was not an illusion; they indeed had a minuscule probability of accidentally moving on to the afterlife at this very moment.

Roland walked forward just like that, stepping out from the shadows; his figure was illusory, golden long hair draped over his shoulders, his skin fair, wearing a blue and white suit with a flower folded on his chest, his entire temperament excellent, but below his chest, it had turned black, with a large number of disgusting tumors growing out, and face after face revealing despair kept opening and closing their mouths.

"Tao Baibai, whether you believe it or not, I will grant you a hope, but I must obtain this body."

He spoke, his voice shaking the entire Consciousness Space, his Spirit intensity extremely high.

Bai Cangshu, who was still crazily beating other Resentful Spirits, heard the voice, turned his head to see the person in the far distance who was half-white and half-black, and knew that the other party was the true body of 【God's Hand Roland】.

He did not speak either, just looked at the holy mark on the other party's left hand, then looked at the scarlet mark on his own right hand, his Greed Sin growing ever higher.

"Roland, you say practicing both Virtue and Great Sin, isn't it very exciting?!"

Bai Cangshu never felt he was some great evil person; he felt that obtaining a 【Virtue】 card was also excellent, and compared to the requirements the 【Tarot】 Sequence had for the nature of a Reincarnator, the directness of Great Sin and Virtue made him feel it was convenient.

The two of them headed toward the Spirit Tower from both sides at the same time.

But before the two could meet, a tall, white-haired man appeared from another corner; he seemed to have been lying there for a long time.

At this moment, he leaped up directly, and countless Resentful Spirits and Resentful Spirits instantly reached out to grab him.

The howling of tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits erupted in unison.

The person in the air pinched a hand seal and said softly,

"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void."

Hum!

The world seemed to freeze for an instant, but this phenomenon was extremely short, or perhaps there is no concept of time in the Spirit world, and these Resentful Spirits and consciousnesses also had no brains to process information.

Bai Cangshu came back to his senses and discovered that Gojo Satoru had already sat on the huge seat that stood out of thin air in the sea of consciousness.

At this moment, he was laughing wildly.

"Hey hey hey, 2.5 Gojo, don't be so arrogant!"

Bai Cangshu took advantage of the fact that most of the Resentful Spirits had not yet awakened, jumped into the air, grabbed Gojo Satoru's Spirit Body, and threw him down; at that moment, both of them were stunned for a second.

Bai Cangshu clearly felt that his hand had penetrated some kind of boundary, and Gojo Satoru also did not expect that this guy could actually ignore his Limitless; was it because his own Spirit Body was absorbed into the other party's body, and therefore, in a certain sense, his own Limitless was also branded within the other party's body?!

Thinking of this possibility, Gojo Satoru's pupils shrank; he looked down at the dense tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits below.

Hey hey, if a guy could possess so many Cursed Techniques, it's not something that could be described by the strongest Cursed User... a Monster, a freak that is completely impossible to restrict...

While deep in thought, he had already been dragged down from the air by a huge force; Bai Cangshu re-accepted his body, but only for a moment, before being submerged by surging Killing Intent Wave.

He fought for a moment relying on instinct and killing intent, and was dragged down by other Resentful Spirits, falling from the Spirit Tower.

That kind of surging Killing Intent Wave, among those present, it is estimated that only Roland has the chance to be able to withstand it, but...

Bai Cangshu roared and ran again, throwing a punch from a distance at Roland, while Gojo Satoru on the other side was also constantly bombarding Roland.

No one cared whether this sea of consciousness would be broken, letting one Resentful Spirit after another, as if taking turns buying tickets to experience it, briefly touch the Heart Throne, only to be dragged down by other Resentful Spirits.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu was knocked flying and landed next to Kori, who still retained the appearance of a Navy.

"Kori, are you not going to snatch it?"

Bai Cangshu asked Kori, who was not participating in the scramble, strangely, as if what was being fought over was not his own body.

Kori shook his head, but also stood up at the same time.

"I can't beat you all; for someone like me, even if I were resurrected, what would be the use?"

He looked at Bai Cangshu and smiled.

"I will help you snatch it; after all, we had an agreement, and you still have to go fulfill the promise to Cindy for me."

Having said that, Kori waved his fist, signaling that he was probably a bit stronger than the average Resentful Spirit, and at the same time, because in the sea of consciousness and Yellow Springs, Resentful Spirits basically do not die completely, and only abilities related to the Soul can be used, he could also be of some help.

Bai Cangshu's heart, which had become hot because of this chaotic battle scene, was briefly calm for an instant.

"Is that kind of promise very important?"

"It's nothing more than the babbling of a Marine who talks big and a naive girl."

Kori stopped, turned his head, and solemnly clenched his fist in front of his heart.

"To me, it is very important."

"She believed in me, and I must respond to that trust; that is my... original heart."

Kori lunged fiercely at the constantly advancing Roland; in that white light, Kori was completely unaffected; he did not need hope, he only wanted that original heart to be carried through to the end.

Bang!

Roland was hit and stumbled backward, while Bai Cangshu revealed a cruel smile again and turned to rush toward the Spirit Tower.
