【Effect 4: God-Man (1/5) · Power of the Outer God currently unusable】

This was one of the very few purple-quality items Bai Cangshu had seen that possessed four precious entries, and it was even a set item of the extremely Rare and Peerless quality.

The Crown of the Outer God condensed above the Heart Throne, and for an instant, Bai Cangshu felt himself enveloped by a grand will.

This feeling was quite familiar to Bai Cangshu; he was already quite accustomed to the matter of foreign wills entering his body.

But unlike the "cramped" feeling when spirits like Roland, Gojo Satoru, and Uchiha Madara previously vied with him for control of his body, the so-called divine will was high and aloof; it did not crowd into the Heart Throne, yet he could feel that lofty will hanging above his head.

Bai Cangshu could almost not resist wanting to look up to see exactly what the so-called 【Great Will】 was different from himself and other spirits.

But the next moment, the grand field of vision made him ignore everything; if not for his experience of frequently fighting for control of his body amidst tens of thousands of spirits, Bai Cangshu might have been directly submerged in the will of those many living beings at this moment.

At this very moment, he only felt his field of vision infinitely high; the horizon began to become curved in his eyes, and the auras and wills of countless living beings were like tiny sparks of wildfire, rising weakly from the ground.

He only needed to gaze down to perceive those tiny wills.

Weak humans have no ability to resist their own wills.

And under this perspective, Bai Cangshu saw more and more clearly what kind of creature the so-called 【human】 really was.

Beneath those frail wills were wrapped countless "emotions," almost every moment producing new desires; in a life entangled by emotions and desires, a cold, rational brilliance would occasionally reveal itself.

In almost an instant, Bai Cangshu captured the most powerful individuals within a thousand-mile radius; his will swept past the Spirit World, and seeing that man throwing a punch merely move his eyes, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

The next moment, in the outskirts of Z City, he saw familiar figures.

Living beings were extinguished near him, and the will to survive was born from this.

Many people have no intuitive need for power, simply because they know their own weakness and have not encountered a scene that requires power.

But when one's entire family is pressed beneath soil and houses, that longing cannot be suppressed.

Bai Cangshu lifted these tiny living beings, wearing the golden crown twisted and entangled like two Ouroboros, and asked,

"Do you want power?"

……

Hum!

White energy gathered violently, and the Tree Shepherd felt a chill in his heart; in just the time of a breath, hundreds of incandescent white energy bullets had appeared around him.

Each energy bullet was approximately the limit of what a strong-tier spellcaster could release, and at this moment, they were still constantly increasing.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

Explosions occurred one after another on the ground, and figures shrouded in white light appeared from the ruins; the wounds on these people's bodies were healing, and each figure was accompanied by thick divine power.

"Gods?!"

The Tree Shepherd realized in an instant who the attacker was, but still did not understand why a god would seek him out.

Several white light bullets with erratic trajectories immediately shrouded the Tree Shepherd.

The Tree Shepherd's Bloodline was special, and he possessed extremely strong resistance to energy; at this moment, the emerald-green solidified blood wrapped around the outside of his body suddenly stirred.

The next moment, accompanied by a literal "bloody storm," the Tree Shepherd instantly transformed into a whirlwind, booming and sweeping away the few humans who had been granted power by the god floating in the air.

They smashed into a district thousands of meters away.

He stood up with a cold expression, calling out in his heart for the 【God's Envoy】 he had modified to close in quickly, but the next moment, he turned around abruptly; footsteps came from the desert, even though they were still several kilometers away from him at this moment.

But the intense aura could no longer be concealed.

"This is... an S-Class Hero?!"

Boom!

The next moment, a tyrannical fist technique erupted from several kilometers away; the intense Force tore through the atmosphere. There were no signs of the buildings shattering, but the Tree Shepherd felt himself pierced by the intense power and was directly knocked flying.

Countless blood vessels extended from the Tree Shepherd in the air; those blood vessels began to gather like tentacles, then reshaped themselves, turning into two huge wings, gliding toward the distance.

It was Bang, the Silver Fang, who had returned!

The Tree Shepherd was very certain that if he fought such a guy head-on, there was a significant probability he would die in battle; this behavior did not conform to his combat philosophy.

A so-called Reincarnator's primary principle in any environment is to ensure their own survival.

Hum!

The light of the wings made of green blood vessels flared, and emerald-green divine power erupted; the next moment, he was like a jet fighter, whipping up incandescent white clouds and booming as he disappeared into the sky.

Bangpu watched this scene and slowly dissipated the fist momentum on his fists; if the opponent had been a moment slower, he would have been left behind by the 【Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist】.

Bang turned his head and discovered that the hot-tempered Tatsumaki had actually not made a move to keep the opponent, his face revealing confusion.

He saw Tatsumaki's hair floating constantly, her figure already slowly drifting upward.

"You all retreat; having me here alone is enough."

Tatsumaki's smile was cruel, and Bang's eyes also moved; he realized that Tatsumaki must have sensed the existence of an enemy even stronger than the guy who had escaped.

But looking at the unconscious Charanko and Yunque in his hands, he simply nodded.

"Then... I'll leave it to you."

At this very moment, Bang also rarely felt a sense of powerlessness; these people who appeared from nowhere were unexpectedly powerful, seemingly not a whit weaker than the former 【Monster Association】.

Bang and Bangpu quickly scooped up the two injured people and left as their figures flickered.

And in the sky, more and more people floated up.

These people all had empty eyes, their entire bodies radiating incandescent white energy.

Tatsumaki spread her hands, and amidst the rising intensity of her Superpower, the surrounding city blocks began to show numerous cracks with a crackling sound.

"You have quite the nerve, staying here even after knowing I was looking for you..."

Tatsumaki's habitually sharp voice became eerily calm at this moment.

Fate Eternal looked at the air in front of him, where the almost materialized Psychokinesis caused the air to completely solidify, and gravity began to rise abnormally.

But he merely brushed off his clothes, then flicked his long hair back with both hands, took a step forward, and stood in mid-air.

"I didn't expect the proud Miss Tatsumaki to actually accept that fox's Gift; it really... isn't like you."

He chuckled, and sure enough, the next second, he saw a white light appear at the tips of Tatsumaki's hair.

Afterward, Fate Eternal looked up at the sky again, shaking his head as he continued to speak.

"And you, Tao Baibai..."

"You don't think you can kill me by borrowing the Authority of such a half-baked god, do you?"

Fate Eternal formed a hand seal in front of him, and the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed down at Tatsumaki and the group of ordinary people who had been temporarily granted power by Bai Cangshu.

Sizzle!

The atmosphere moved violently in an instant; Tatsumaki looked up and saw only the sea of clouds dispersing, with the sun in the sky no longer obstructed by anything.

An incomparably huge finger appeared from above the sea of clouds, pointing straight toward Z City.

Tatsumaki's eyes narrowed as she raised her hand, and her intense Psychokinesis erupted.

Boom!

The massive finger, likely over tens of thousands of meters long, seemed to collide with something in mid-air, and like a meteor striking the Earth, it rapidly triggered a terrifying explosion.

Flames, engulfed in a powerful shockwave, exploded thunderously from above Z City.
