Chapter 370: Manipulator

Bai Cangshu looked at the giant dragon head in the sky and the ocean all around, and he suddenly realized he was in a dream.

The foundation of the 【Sage】 lies not only in that mysterious power of the 【Demon】, but he is also a "Demigod."

The Sage watched the scarlet luster appear once again on Bai Cangshu's body below, knowing that the other party had realized this was the world of consciousness.

The so-called 【Collective Unconscious Sea】 should have been a space where all souls and consciousnesses were unable to act autonomously, except for himself, this 【Manipulator】...

The Sage successfully passed through the 【Collective Unconscious Sea】 and entered Tao Baibai's Mental Island, wanting to directly change Tao Baibai's subconscious once again to manipulate him.

But Tao Baibai's abnormality appeared once more; the other party was actually still maintaining their thinking within the subconscious?!

They were even able to engage in logical reasoning.

This phenomenon caused a rare trace of confusion to appear in the Sage's heart, but he quickly applied a soothing effect to his own Mind Body to calm himself down.

In the Infinite Dimensional Space, back when he was still a newcomer, he had heard of a way to judge the aptitude of Reincarnators.

Using the ability to adapt to spatial deployment as a baseline, Reincarnators who cannot adapt are all 【Defective Product】s; these Reincarnators are mostly too fragile psychologically, and they quickly suffer mental breakdowns during cruel and frequent deployment missions, and even with decent initial physical stats and initial world gains, they are quickly eliminated.

Reincarnators above the baseline are all qualified 【Consumable】s, worker bees that can be deployed by the space multiple times to collect 【Information】.

However, the reason 【Consumable】s are 【Consumable】s is that Reincarnators at this level are, at best, merely qualified; they are naturally consumed in mission after mission, or annexed by other Reincarnators, or die during missions, ultimately unable to grow.

Above this, the space constantly recruits new Reincarnators, and occasionally encounters some top-tier ones—those born with excellent aptitude who, due to various circumstances, appear in the space.

These people might have huge shortcomings in one aspect, but in another, they are far superior to any other Reincarnator; once they find their area of expertise in the space, they rise rapidly.

Or perhaps, they are naturally as cunning as demons, playing other Reincarnators in the palm of their hand through their own strength.

Such Reincarnators, even if placed in the real world, would be called geniuses and become pillars in various fields; they are people of 【Brilliant Talent】.

But occasionally, even more special individuals appear in the space; these individuals are more like humans who have undergone genetic mutations, possessing abnormalities that make them seem out of place within this race.

Data, personality, logic, ethics—there are always some aspects that allow you to directly perceive the difference between yourself and the other party.

Such 【Outlier】s are the most unstable and are easily targeted and killed because of this abnormality, but they also often grow rapidly into the most terrifying Reincarnators.

Just like the woman in the North District now who obtained the title 【Flowers Blooming in Desolation】, who once forced 【End of Days Sun】 and 【Dead Silence Fate】 to retreat to the East District, thereby forcing them into infighting.

Abnormal growth speed, abnormal combat power, abnormal ability characteristics...

"Mr. Sage, I once came into contact with a low-level Reincarnator who strengthened their 【Lord of the Mysteries】 Sequence ability, but I rarely saw those Tese in the Shanty Town. Are the supplies produced by that world in the hands of His Excellency 【Fate Eternal】?"

Bai Cangshu's smile remained as usual; he looked around and also saw the islands looming in the mist in the distance.

The Sage's abilities are constantly being exposed, which shows that although his abilities are strange, he is quite lacking in the ability to kill him in a direct confrontation...

His Demon power must have a considerable degree of limitation if he wants to make others die in his place or kill others.

And that kind of limitation is one he has not suffered.

Bai Cangshu pondered in his mind the difference between himself and people like Luoka, wanting to find the reason why the Sage could make those people die silently while he himself would not.

The giant dragon transformed by the Sage looked down from the sky at Tao Baibai's Mental Island—no, that narrow space of one meter square could not be called an "island" at all.

It was merely a Mental Reef that could support one person standing.

He realized that perhaps this was part of Tao Baibai's abnormality; the reason the other party could quickly realize this was not the real world and regain logic and self in the subconscious was because... the other party had almost no subconscious world...

This is very abnormal.

The human brain has a massive amount of redundancy, and human consciousness also has a massive amount of residue.

How could a human's Mental Island be so small...

The Sage's heart stirred, and he opened his mouth to let out a long howl.

He directly stirred up a storm in the Collective Unconscious Sea; for ordinary people, he would need to enter the other party's Mental Island, understand their subconscious, and guide them within it.

This would achieve the goal of knowing all the other party's secrets and guiding them to act according to his own ideas without anyone noticing.

But for a situation like Tao Baibai's, perhaps he should directly drown him with a Mental Storm!

Let him be permanently immersed in all kinds of manic emotions.

Whoosh!

As a Demigod who has finished acting for Sequence 4, a 【Manipulator】, he is enough to stir up chaos here.

Bai Cangshu tilted his head and saw the monstrous waves coming; this Collective Unconscious Sea began to undergo huge changes, and the sky also became gloomy.

He looked down at himself; his body at this moment was indeed also undergoing changes.

But at the same time, he saw that the giant dragon in the sky was not far from him; perhaps...

Bai Cangshu closed his eyes, and a kind of pure white luster began to bloom from his body; at the same time, he was still speaking, attempting to influence the Sage.

"So, that His Excellency 【Fate Eternal】 likely mastered the ability of some high-sequence in the Lord of the Mysteries world?"

"Let me guess, is it... 【Visionary】?"

The giant dragon transformed by the Sage lowered its head, opened its mouth, and roared again; the Mental Storm arrived with a boom.

Boom!

The entire mental world instantly became a mess.

In the real world, Hongchen slowly crawled up from the ground; he was not dead, and the strong Psychokinesis restriction on his body had also disappeared.

The long-lost free breathing made him gasp uncontrollably.

But soon, he coughed twice, circulated his Inner Qi, and the purple toxin was quickly expelled from his body.

Hongchen waved his hand, and a strong gale dispersed the poisonous mist; this kind of purple poisonous mist was likely a special ability carried by that Silver Plot Equipment level shield of the Red Queen.

But there was no trace of anyone else around.

The poisonous mist dispersed, and he saw that phantom burning with scarlet momentum standing opposite the Sage.

That is... Tao Baibai?!

Hongchen beckoned with his right hand, and the precious blade immediately spun and flew into his hand.

He looked at these two people; the unprecedented good opportunity made it hard for him to suppress the impulse to slash out with his blade.

But...

Hongchen walked closer and found that both the Sage and Tao Baibai had their eyes tightly closed, and their spirits seemed very unstable.

The giant body of Tao Baibai spasmed slightly, and blood began to flow from his nostrils; that was the manifestation of having suffered a Mental Storm.

But what about the Sage? Could it be that in a battle of the mind and subconscious, Tao Baibai was still capable of influencing the Sage?!

Moo!

Boom!

A wave of Qi surged up, far exceeding any known hurricane in the world.

In this instant, Hong Chen felt as if he were a leaf in a raging sea, as a terrifying aura that made one tremble erupted from ten kilometers away.

Space was being torn apart, and the shrieks of countless souls were ringing out simultaneously.

Hong Chen turned around subconsciously, only to see at the end of the world that giant pitch-black figure stretch out a hand, the golden spirit in its palm turning into fragments and dissipating bit by bit with the wind.

That pitch-black figure became extremely unstable, and the colorful Spirit World space began to expand like a runaway force.

The entire city was swallowed up by more than half in an instant.

And in the sky, Tatsumaki, who had distorted half the space, was also sent flying.

A Red Kasaya that almost covered the entire city drifted in the Spirit World, and at this moment, it began to be torn apart by that pitch-black figure.

"Reincarnators... I will... kill you all..."

The voice, which should have been youthful, was now full of violence and ruthlessness, and a resentful Spirit Ability struck out with a boom, sending Hong Chen, Tao Baibai, and the Sage flying together.
