Chapter 275: Special Sublimation Route: Scarlet Skull (3k)
What Reincarnators call "World Will," or "Inhibitory Force," is actually a type of existence that cannot be directly observed.
But this thing undoubtedly exists in almost all Derivative Worlds.
If the Wireless Dimension Space is the one who deploys the Reincarnators, then the World Will is the true boss in a broad sense that the Reincarnators face.
As Reincarnators conduct activities in the world and exert influence upon it, the Space harvests special "information" called Singularities, while the world repairs these changes in the timeline to keep the world running.
And among all Derivative Worlds, because characters like "Child of the World" or "protagonist" occupy the largest amount of "information," Reincarnators face the most intense backlash from the World Will when performing irreversible operations such as influencing or killing such figures.
They almost always suffer the highest level of targeted suppression.
Passing top-tier powerhouses, awakened Special Creations—as long as they are figures who can exist on the world line, the World Will can make those existences appear with extremely coincidental probability, provided that the world line and timeline do not become chaotic.
Therefore, when Bai Cangshu previously thought about this Golden Order descent event, his hypothetical enemies were all those truly top-tier powerhouses that appear in the late stage of this world—Six Paths Level.
But now, he realizes that because of the special settings of the Naruto Derivative World, the Otsutsuki Clan are not the original inhabitants of this planet.
Although Otsutsuki Hagoromo founded the "Ninja Sect" to teach the method of Chakra cultivation and contributed much to this world under the name "Sage of Six Paths."
But in essence, the Otsutsuki Clan is still a space-colonizing race that wants to plant the God Tree on this planet and harvest all living things.
To the will of this planet, the Otsutsuki Clan is no better than the Greater Will that is currently eyeing it covetously.
Therefore, the Otsutsuki Clan will not receive preferential treatment; Otsutsuki Toneri who possesses the "Tenseigan," Otsutsuki Hagoromo who possesses combat power, and even Otsutsuki Isshiki who only appears in Boruto—none of these figures will appear!
Orochimaru watched as the terrifyingly built Tao Baibai once again revealed that smile of having everything under control; although he did not know what had happened previously, he still breathed a sigh of relief as Tao Baibai's nearly insane and terrifying aura dissipated.
Immediately, he mocked himself for such a thought.
He did not expect that one day, he would also be affected by the overly "intense" consciousness of another existence.
"Now what do you want to do? As for the Land of Lightning, destroying one Daimyo Palace is not enough to make them completely submit..."
Uchiha Itachi also tilted his head, wanting to hear Tao Baibai's answer.
But to his disappointment, or perhaps vaguely feeling it was within expectations, Tao Baibai said:
"One Daimyo Palace is not enough, then the entire Royal Capital; one city is not enough, then two... Heh, the Fourth Raikage has already been heavily wounded by me. I imagine Pain will soon complete an unprecedented feast of terror in the Land of Fire. Next, we only need to do a little bit of... despicable ninja methods, and it will be enough to make those terrified maggots submit obediently..."
Bai Cangshu smiled wantonly; he knew very well that for those high-ranking Nobles who truly controlled the majority of a nation's resources, nothing was more important than their lives and continuing to possess wealth.
And these things, when a group of completely uncontrollable ninjas appeared, were destined to be things they could no longer possess.
All they could do was—beg.
Bai Cangshu did not give Ping Zhongshi and his wife time to reminisce, forcibly carrying the two of them as he quickly rushed back to the Royal Capital of the Land of Lightning. Horikawa Takiya, who had been waiting for a long time, lowered his head. Seeing the gazes of the people around him, he hesitated repeatedly before stepping forward and saying in a low voice:
"Just now, ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village arrived, saying the Raikage will soon..."
Clang!
Bai Cangshu suddenly raised his hand, and two Shuriken nailed into his arm, emitting the sound of metal clashing. The next moment, two people in the crowd had flames igniting all over their bodies.
Bang! Bang!
Two clouds of smoke exploded; the two's Transformation Technique was dispelled due to the damage, but at the same time, they immediately used the Body Replacement Technique to pull away and extinguished the flames on their bodies.
Seeing that Tao Baibai had appeared first and the Fourth Raikage had not yet returned, these two Cloud Hidden Village ninjas both had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Just as they were about to retreat, they met the gaze of a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Itachi's killing became increasingly cruel. Since he had made up his mind to see the future of great unification that Tao Baibai spoke of, he could accept any sacrifice before that.
What's more, these Cloud Hidden Village ninjas had long been established as the image of Konoha's enemies, and he felt nothing while slaughtering them.
Pfft!
Amidst the spurting blood, several figures emerged from the crowd. Orochimaru also attacked at the same time, and Ping Zhongshi, who did not know how to face his wife, naturally blocked in front of her.
Golden light shone on his body.
Clad in heavy armor and relying on prayer, it was difficult for ordinary Ninja Arts to break through his defense.
The light of Ninja Arts exploded continuously, and the surrounding commoners and Nobles were in a panic.
Only Horikawa Takiya, who was grabbed in Bai Cangshu's hand, although pale, could only feign calmness because he could not break free.
As he watched this giant-like Tao Baibai crush the neck of a Cloud Hidden Village ninja who had appeared behind him with just a casual grab, he finally let go of the worry in his heart completely.
He glanced at his kinsmen in the crowd, knowing his choice was correct.
"Very good, from now on, you are the Feudal Lord of the Land of Lightning."
Bai Cangshu did not even remember the other party's name before handing the position of Feudal Lord of the Land of Lightning to him.
To Bai Cangshu, a puppy that knew how to wag its tail at its master and bark wildly at others was enough.
After all, he was not some benevolent ruler; long-term peace and stability meant nothing to a Reincarnator like him who was only staying for thirty days.
Destruction is always simpler than construction.
Horikawa Takiya found it hard to believe, his heart beating so fast it almost made his vision go black. He immediately disregarded his decorum and knelt down before the giant in front of everyone.
"Thank you for your grace, but my clan's strength is low, I fear I cannot command respect..."
Bai Cangshu watched a figure forced back by the Golden Law Greatsword and pointed a finger through the air.
Ring!
A golden light pierced through the air, and the next moment, it pierced through the ninja who was performing hand seals.
"Command respect?"
"Who is the 'crowd'?"
"You provide the names, and those two ninja lords will naturally help you purge the dissenters. Rest assured, the Land of Fire has already submitted to us; all you are doing is avoiding the Land of Lightning suffering the same heavy damage as the Land of Fire."
Bai Cangshu explained casually, and seeing two Elite Jonin escape by virtue of their excellent strength, he did not pursue.
The Five Nations Fall was just an event he triggered, not his primary purpose for coming to this world.
He came to this world to eat, and to kill!
Slaughter, to increase the Killing Intent Wave;
Predation, to enhance the Gourmet Cell!
Other than that, there only remained the pursuit of the Special Trial and an S-rank evaluation.
After learning that there was a high probability that no members of the Otsutsuki Clan would appear, Bai Cangshu had already found his true target.
He suddenly brought up the newly appointed Daimyo of the Land of Lightning who had just been enfeoffed, and asked:
"I ask you, what do you think I should do now to be considered Most Benevolent and Most Virtuous?"
Horikawa Takiya did not understand the meaning behind this, but he could only rack his brains. Finally, after putting himself in that position for a moment, he said:
"Show leniency to those resisting samurai and display your magnanimous bearing; in this way, I believe the citizens will also recognize your benevolence..."
Whine!
Golden Qi whistled sharply. The next moment, a laser beam pierced through the group of samurai still holding their katana outside the collapsed Daimyo Palace, and with a movement of his finger, the terrifying Qi instantly passed through the bodies of all the samurai.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
Body after body was severed at the waist, and the smell of blood rushed into the air.
Horikawa Takiya watched this scene, and bile instantly surged up.
Bai Cangshu, however, put him down and said:
"Very good, now there are no resisting samurai left."
Sure enough, the remaining samurai all dropped their swords and blades, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Bai Cangshu was still not satisfied, and asked another person behind Horikawa Takiya.
"I ask you, what do you think is benevolence..."
This person was a guard of Horikawa Takiya. At this moment, he was almost scared silly by the scene just now. He subconsciously knelt on the ground and stammered:
"Wealth, this lowly one thinks that if you, my lord, could bestow wealth to allow us to rebuild our destroyed homes, that would be benevolence..."
Bai Cangshu was not satisfied with this choice, but still waved his hand.
"Go, the wealth in that Daimyo Palace—within today, whoever can grab how much, can keep it for themselves."
The guard almost doubted he had heard correctly for a moment. Even Horikawa Takiya, who had been enfeoffed as the new Daimyo, had not expected that this monster would not want the wealth in the Daimyo Palace.
Seeing the guard looking at him, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Everything is to be decided by the lord's instructions."
These words instantly caused a commotion among those nearby who had heard the previous conversation. A few people were eager to try, so Bai Cangshu simply said:
"Within today, everyone may seek the wealth they desire."
A few guards finally could not hold back and walked toward the collapsed Daimyo Palace. Many onlookers were also moved and walked toward that side. As the group walked, their speed became faster and faster, finally turning into a scramble.
Bai Cangshu looked again at the crowd still remaining in this place.
Before he could speak, one person knelt down and spoke.
"My lord, the benevolence I believe in is for you to grant me a free status, to escape the enslavement of the Horikawa Clan!"
This person was sallow and thin, but his courage was not small. Without needing Bai Cangshu to speak, Horikawa Takiya hurriedly nodded.
As the most tactful Noble, he had already vaguely realized that this lord seemed to be facilitating a riot. He did not understand the reason, but he could only cooperate.
Subsequently, a few more people knelt down, and one of them actually pointed at a samurai in the distance.
"My lord, that man killed my younger brother. The benevolence I want is for my great hatred to be avenged!"
Pfft!
Bai Cangshu merely flicked his finger, and a gust of wind shattered the throat of that samurai who had not yet reacted.
With this, the crowd of onlookers completely boiled over. The panic in everyone's eyes began to dissipate, and that kind of completely unconstrained "bestowal of grace" began to turn into a fanatical riot.
Ping Zhonghua fearfully shrank back to the side of her Summoning Beast. She looked at those people of the Land of Lightning who were showing fanaticism, not understanding why, even though people were being killed, they were not afraid, but instead becoming more and more fanatical.
Ping Zhongshi, however, was feeling a large amount of life energy draining away. Perhaps the Golden Tree was absorbing this life energy to grow.
But at those glaring splashes of bright red, he began to feel some hesitation, not knowing whether he should be happy for Tao Baibai's actions.
He could only comfort himself that all of this was for the eventually arriving Golden Tree Era, and everything was worth it... wasn't it...
No one could answer Ping Zhongshi.
【Sin Karma Sequence Synchronization Rate updated, Tyrannical Sin synchronization rate: 100%】
【Sinful Reincarnator ex051, detected that you have reached 100% synchronization rate in Arrogance, Greed Sin, and Tyrannical Sin simultaneously, unlocking special sublimation route: Scarlet Skull (Hidden)】
"Ha, it appeared..."
Bai Cangshu's massive figure stood surrounded by a large number of fanatical citizens of the Land of Lightning, like a great demon spreading chaos and the end.
He was happy because his conjecture had been verified; the sublimation of Great Sins was indeed not singular. Satisfying multiple Great Sins at the same time would yield a more powerful sublimation route.
Most Benevolent and Most Virtuous... if benevolence is not restrained, it will also fall into chaos, eventually crowning itself as a demon king in the name of benevolence.
