Chapter 443: The World-Shocking Thunder Roar (Bonus Chapter)

"Is that sort of thing worth you all making that expression?"

"Is your Captain being killed by a casual strike of mine such an unacceptable thing for you?"

Bai Cangshu's voice was not loud, his tone so calm it was as if he were catching up with an old friend; his hands hung naturally at his sides, and his footsteps were so light that he walked toward the Reincarnators—who were stunned in place—without a single sound.

At the same time, the movements and auras of the surrounding Black Ball Squad and the monsters had already fallen completely into his perception.

Including the look of horror on Hanaki Kyo's face.

Bai Cangshu did not feel that his instant kill of the Osaka Captain was anything remarkable.

In a worldview like Gantz, which can be called the true ancestor of the Infinite genre, the rewards these Black Ball Squad members obtain from completing missions can only be added to themselves through technological weapons and equipment.

It is not at all as convenient as the way these 【Reincarnators】 can wantonly enhance their attributes, Bloodline, and abilities.

Therefore, these veterans in the Black Ball Squad are, when all is said and done, still ordinary people, just using some weapons and equipment far superior to current Earth technology.

Even the American Black Ball Squad members who appeared at the end of the manga were, for the most part, just a group of soldiers using these weapons more efficiently in battle.

In the end, they are just Mortals.

Bai Cangshu's eyelids drooped, and he did not look at anyone present while he spoke.

He did not hold anyone present in his eyes; there was not a single individual here who possessed the possibility of fighting him.

Hanaki Kyo's whole body was stiff; he felt as if the nerves and muscles on his back had frozen. Even though he had already aligned the locking reticle in his scope with the opponent, at this moment, as long as he pressed the lock trigger first, even if the opponent were faster, he would surely be able to...

But he could not move.

Hanaki Kyo's finger on the trigger twitched convulsively; he felt he had been stunned by an atmosphere terrifying to the point of horror, as if he would be killed the moment he moved a finger.

Yamasaki An did not understand what had happened; because she was too weak, she did not even notice the terrifying pressure radiating from Tao Baibai.

She had simply hidden behind a motorcycle by instinct when Tao Baibai appeared, and naturally, she had not seen the scene where Shitaya Nobuo's Reinforced Suit shattered and he died after being lightly tapped.

Watching the hundred-percent boss Tao Baibai walk right past her group toward Qing Yun in the distance, Yamasaki An instinctively pulled out the small X-gun at her waist. This gun was similar to the long gun in Hanaki Kyo's hand, only the attack range was shorter, but the power was equally terrifying.

The basic firearm Gantz bestows upon Black Ball Squad members, the X-gun, is a terrifying weapon capable of ignoring biological skin and directly injecting intangible high-energy particle beams beneath the target's skin to detonate.

Most flesh-and-blood bodies would be killed directly by this weapon.

Moreover, the scope of this weapon, which has a see-through effect, possesses a locking function. After locking onto a target, you press to fire; regardless of whether you are aiming at the opponent at that moment, the high-energy particle beam will strike the locked target, and after a delay of several seconds, the high-energy particle beam will detonate inside the target's body.

It is common knowledge among the Black Ball Squad that no matter how powerful an alien is, as long as one can use these super-tech weapons bestowed by the black ball to fire, they will almost always be killed.

Yamasaki An was like this now; she pulled out the X-gun and was about to lift it to aim from behind, but an arm reached out from behind her and pressed her arm down.

"Don't fire..."

Yamasaki An turned her head and saw Kuwabara Kazuo, who suffered from severe dependency syndrome, his bare upper body already covered in cold sweat.

Qing Yun stood stiffly in place, his heart struggling violently. He had naturally heard of Tao Baibai's fierce reputation. Previously, when he saw the opponent's name at the black ball, he still held a fluke mentality, thinking the opponent might not necessarily appear on his side.

But right now...

"You, your Luck is not good."

Bai Cangshu grabbed Qing Yun's neck with his right hand, and ridges like meridians immediately appeared on the black Gantz Reinforced Suit. He had already pushed the performance of the Reinforced Suit to the Extreme Value; this suit could allow an ordinary person to exert nearly 10 times their ability.

For a low-to-mid-tier Reincarnator like him, who was already stronger than the average person, it could bring his strength, speed, and defensive capabilities close to the First Tier Extreme Value.

Qing Yun felt a burning, stinging pain on the skin of his neck where he was grabbed by Tao Baibai; it was extreme fear causing his nerves to have an abnormal reaction.

He could no longer endure it and roared, "【Wrist Strength Enhancement】!" The muscles in his hand bulged explosively in an instant, and he turned around violently; a "Boom—" sound erupted in the air.

At this moment, power that completely touched the Extreme Value exploded from Qing Yun's hand.

A dull roar of air, and a large swath of air was displaced.

Shimaki, the bald man who had crawled out from a pile of mush on the concrete floor, had just stood up when he saw this fully explosive strike from Qing Yun.

He had never seen anyone else unleash an attack with this kind of posture; he took the opportunity to draw his blade and charged madly toward Tao Baibai.

Bai Cangshu's long black hair was blown aside by the gale, yet the corner of his eye shifted to look at the air on the other side.

There, Oka Hachiro, who was using Gantz equipment to modulate his frequency to achieve complete optical stealth, had his pupils constrict. He held the Gantz combat blade in both hands, his body stiffening for an instant.

The next moment, Bang!

An invisible force slammed into Oka Hachiro. Oka Hachiro looked at the attack notification on the 【Gantzmecha】 (Ape Suit) panel, having not seen the form of the opponent's attack at all.

Bang!

A shockwave like a transparent Ripple exploded out of thin air. Qing Yun's full-force strike kicked up a wild wind. Shimaki cheered inwardly, the performance of his Reinforced Suit pushed to the limit, and he took a step to arrive behind Tao Baibai, the Nano Combat Blade extending a one-meter blade, slashing with full force at the neck.

Pfft.

A breeze brushed past Bai Cangshu. He reached out his right hand, and Qing Yun's swollen fist landed in his palm; he raised his left hand and pinched Shimaki's combat blade at his ear.

The violent power of the two, after being enhanced by the Reinforced Suits, was like mud oxen entering the sea; no movement was produced at all, completely dissipated within those two palms.

Shimaki looked at the opponent with a stunned expression, seeing that he had pinched his sword with only two fingers. He tried hard to pull it out, but it had no effect at all.

What kind of strength is this...

As for Qing Yun, the hot blood in his mind turned cold in an instant, and he opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

"Tao Baibai, don't..."

Crack~ Pfft!

Shimaki felt his sword blade snap with a "crack." The next moment, that broken blade pierced in from Qing Yun's open mouth and out from the back of his head.

"Uh... Wu..."

Pfft!

Another black blade light flashed; Shimaki felt his neck grow hot, followed by a large amount of fresh blood gushing out.

He staggered two steps, clutching his neck, and blinked his eyes before seeing that the broken blade had been pulled out by Tao Baibai again. Qing Yun swayed twice and collapsed dejectedly to the ground; his vision also rapidly turned black, and his strength and body temperature quickly left him.

Thump.

Shimaki also fell backward.

【You have killed Shimaki】

【You have killed Reincarnator st23378011 during the Purge Mission, Purge Mission progress increased】

A scarlet glow began to appear, and the next moment, Bai Cangshu vanished instantly.

Hum!

An invisible gravity wave descended from the sky, smashing Shimaki's corpse and the ground beneath it into pieces, turning them into a pool of blood.

A massive circular crater nearly a meter deep appeared in the concrete ground.

"Damn it, who fired that shot!"

Hanaki Kyo cursed; it seemed that because of the actions of Qingyun and Shimaki just now, he felt he was no longer unable to move due to fear, so he immediately ran toward his mono-cycle, preparing to retreat a certain distance first.

The next moment, several mono-cycles came roaring from the direction of the gymnasium's countermeasures.

More than twenty members wearing black Reinforced Suits shouted as they raised the firearms in their hands and began firing wildly in this direction.

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

Gravity waves fell continuously from the sky.

Hanaki Kyo's Footwork slowed by a beat, and he saw the mono-cycle in front of him shatter with a boom.

"It's other Black Ball Squads!"

Yamasaki An exclaimed, as that group of people had completely surrounded the massive plaza.

"Where is the Reincarnation Alien?!"

"Hey, Osaka Team, where have you hidden the hundred-point boss?!"

Kuwabara Kazuo pulled Yamasaki An down to crouch, watching this group of suddenly appearing Black Ball Squad members; his gaze darted around, trying to find that terrifying figure of Tao Baibai.

But he saw no trace of the other party in the surroundings; the next moment, he looked up and, sure enough, saw that person standing in mid-air out of thin air.

"Watch out, he's above!"

He finally could not help but shout out.

【You have encountered a new mission: Survival】

【Mission Details: Gantz has issued a mission to hunt the Reincarnation Alien; survive the mission】

【Reward: Depending on completion, receive a C-A-rank Singularity reward】

Bai Cangshu looked at the humans below driving their cycles and firing wildly, the expression on his face turning cruel bit by bit.

He took a deep breath, and the electric current within his body began to push; the electricity accumulated in the Thunder Emperor Heart began to circulate immediately under the propulsion of that energy.

In Bai Cangshu's abdomen, the first Aperture began to accumulate electric light.

Bai Cangshu's chest expanded abnormally, and harboring tyrannical thoughts, Bai Cangshu exhaled and let out a shout.

"Ha!"

【Shocking Thunder Roar】!

Boom!

A searing white shockwave accompanied by an instantly brightening flash of lightning was followed by a terrifying explosion with a thunderous roar.

Clouds of smoke erupted from the ground below in an instant, as if a Cloud Bomb had detonated amidst the crowd.

Kuwabara Kazuo only felt himself flying up as if he were riding the clouds and mist in an instant.

Blood and severed limbs, accompanied by a thick, bloody stench, instantly permeated the air, dyeing the perimeter of the plaza into a scene like a doomsday cult film.
