Chapter 384: Fate Eternal

Whoosh—bang!

A scarlet figure fell almost vertically from hundreds of meters in the air, then smashed a large crater into the desert.

The Sage had been killed once again.

The reappearing Sage did not run away, but simply stood in place, caught by Bai Cangshu once more.

The smile at the corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth faded slightly.

To be honest, the reason the game of cat and mouse is interesting is that the mouse can always display different postures of struggle.

But if the mouse is too lazy to even perform the act of running away, then the fun of this game is mostly lost.

"Sage, don't you know that once I lose all interest, I will only focus on killing you over and over again?"

He threatened the Sage with an expressionless face.

But unexpectedly, the Sage only moved the corners of his mouth and did not retort.

Bai Cangshu sensed something unusual, but the closer he got to this place, the thicker the obscure information in the air became.

He stomped his foot down with force.

Bang!

Amidst the shattering ground, the desert seemed to appear like quicksand and began to collapse continuously.

Bai Cangshu did not dodge, but simply grabbed the Sage and sank along with the quicksand.

Whoosh!

There was very little air in the sand, the pressure was high, and the temperature was quite high; for an ordinary person, entering it was no different from being swept into quicksand, eventually suffocating to death inside.

But the physiques of Bai Cangshu and the Sage, in a non-combat and non-injured state, were sufficient to hold their breath for hours, and the so-called pressure and temperature could not affect the two of them at all.

About a few minutes later, the sand beneath their feet emptied, and the two fell out of the quicksand.

The completely dark space was like an underground tunnel; the falling sand followed the terrain and kept falling toward the fault ahead. Bai Cangshu picked up the Sage and moved toward the place in his perception that was emitting a powerful aura.

And the Cursed Seal on his hand also flashed on and off, as if reminding him that he was approaching the mission location.

"Tao Baibai, it's not too late for you to turn back now."

The Sage suddenly spoke; he did not struggle to escape, but instead spoke calmly, his tone returning to the gentle manner he had when he first appeared.

Bai Cangshu lifted the Sage's head to look him in the eyes; the two were very close. The next moment, the Sage suddenly gave a muffled groan.

He saw the space panel prompt him that he had been attacked by 【Arrogant Sight】; after a power judgment, the damage caused to him was not high.

But that kind of attack appeared again and again, without interval.

Finally, the Sage could not endure the pain of this dull knife cutting flesh and opened his mouth to spit out dragon breath.

Bai Cangshu, however, instantly pinched his chin with his left hand and twisted it violently.

Crack!

Amidst the terrifying sound of bone fracturing, the Sage's head was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees directly, turned to the back.

That blast of Mind Dragon breath also shot straight into the darkness, the impact and piercing of the mind spreading forward.

There was no reaction in the darkness.

The Sage's expression changed drastically.

"You guy, do you know what kind of... existence is ahead?!"

"Isn't it just a supreme powerhouse..."

Bai Cangshu spoke, while at the same time noticing that the Sage, whose spine had been twisted, although he did not show a series of biological reactions like incontinence, had also lost the ability to act.

The strengthening of the Mysterious World, that kind of special supernatural power, had magical effects, but for the body itself, it did not have the direct effect of other worlds.

At least, in other worlds, abilities strengthened to such a high Sequence basically already possessed Immortality or strong Regeneration characteristics in the body.

"You know?!"

The Sage had actually sensed a familiar aura from the moment he entered this desert, but in order not to scare Tao Baibai away, he did not show it directly.

But as he got closer and closer to the ruins in this desert, he sensed that something was wrong.

With the ability of His Excellency 【Fate Eternal】, theoretically, even he himself should not be able to perceive His Excellency's existence at all.

The other party was the kind of existence that was truly transcendent, using details unimaginable to ordinary people to check and balance world-class powerhouses.

Even though this world had a Monster like Saitama whose danger was difficult to assess, His Excellency still dominated this world as if taking a leisurely stroll.

And used the gift named 【Man Zhi】 to create an invisible cage, sealing Saitama away.

This was the fundamental reason they dared to recklessly pursue the power of the 【Limiter】.

Saitama had detached from the plot and progress of this world, which was why the Reincarnator had the possibility of changing the direction of this world on a large scale.

Then they used the blackened Kageyama Shigeo to contain the equally terrifying Tatsumaki.

They used the Professional Hero's Cognitive Intervention to make those powerful S-class guys lose their social presence one by one and begin to retire.

Every step of the plan was completely within His Excellency's design.

But why did His Excellency...

He associated this with the geographical location here and soon realized that His Excellency was pursuing the power of 【God】.

His Excellency wanted to become a god?!

The Sage could not speculate further, but he changed his communication strategy and began trying to persuade Tao Baibai to retreat.

Bai Cangshu grinned, like a Demon who could see through the human heart.

"The supreme powerhouse... is in a bad state, isn't he..."

He smiled, his voice rising.

Bai Cangshu tapped lightly on the Sage's head, which was now the only part with sensation, and when he sensed the Senluo Death Intent appearing, he deliberately moved his hand away.

He was not in a hurry to kill the Sage yet.

"I know far more than you imagine, Mr. Sage..."

He carried the Sage, walking step by step toward the interior, while simultaneously beginning to describe his conjectures.

"I guess you used some method to restrict those guys with excessive combat power, like Saitama and Tatsumaki."

"And you probably used some means to stimulate Kageyama Shigeo, causing him to turn dark."

"Then, you seized a massive harvest."

"After that, you intentionally leaked the news, letting others realize that a new 【Secondary World】 had appeared, and they all assumed this world was ownerless, wanting to come and fight for resources."

"Yet you had long known that this world had been distorted by you, so you could hunt Reincarnators on one hand, while throwing out a batch of capable Reincarnators to become enemies of the Plot Characters."

"And as for you, you are plotting to seize even greater power."

At this moment, light finally appeared ahead.

A massive Altar seemed to appear out of thin air in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings somewhat.

On that massive Altar, a person sat cross-legged at this time; the other party was draped in a white robe, with long black hair draped down from the back of their head, and a hazy glow radiated around their body, making it impossible to see their specific appearance clearly.

"You think you are very clever, Tao Baibai..."

A voice that could not be identified as male or female rang out in Bai Cangshu's ear from thin air.

"So after you realized this point, you deliberately spared that woman's life and left her together with Fubuki, just to see if the weak her could stimulate the fighting desire of those heroes."

"You probably wanted to use her death to stimulate Fubuki, thereby making Fubuki fight my people irrationally, after which Fubuki would die, and Tatsumaki would strike in anger..."

"A crude arrangement, yet it had unexpected results."

The hair on the back of Bai Cangshu's head turned white inch by inch; at this moment, almost half of his hair had turned white in an instant.

He looked at that black-haired, white-robed fellow, wanting to see through their appearance.

The next moment, a cold sensation appeared; a finger had already pressed against the center of his brow.

Bai Cangshu was startled; he hadn't perceived at all how the other party had appeared.

He blinked his eyes, confirming that the figure on the Altar had not disappeared.

But before his eyes, an illusory figure had indeed appeared.

"His Excellency, I..."

The Sage wanted to open his mouth to explain his predicament, but soon lost his voice.

The illusory figure looked at Bai Cangshu and spoke.

"Saitama has made a move; how do you feel?"

"Are you also hoping that Saitama will make a move against me, ultimately causing a supreme powerhouse to fall here, forging your reputation..."

"But you cannot see through the arrangements of Fate at all; your self-clever choices will only let me obtain everything I want faster~"

This 【Fate Eternal】 had an illusory voice and a hazy tone, making it impossible to tell if they were mocking or praising.

The Cursed Seal in Bai Cangshu's palm was scalding, seemingly urging him to complete the mission.

Bai Cangshu, however, shook his head and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Ha~ Hahaha..."

"How could I think that way?"

"I am very clear about His Excellency's goal; after all... I have also seen a Black King..."

"So, I am helping you; I also want to see the spectacle of a new Black King being born."
