Chapter 451: The Heart of the Fire Man

Bang!

Bai Cangshu's right arm muscles bulged as he threw a punch; the giant beast, shaped like Godzilla, let out a pained roar, its head knocked to one side, its body stumbling two steps toward a nearby building.

It smashed through more than half of the building.

Bai Cangshu did not know which Reincarnator the opponent truly was, nor did he know how the Multi-faceted Alien's so-called information modification had turned a Reincarnator into such a giant beast.

But he knew that killing the opponent in this state would very likely extract a large amount of Constitution attributes.

Bai Cangshu pointed a finger, and a Dodon Ray triggered another explosion on the giant beast's body, though the damage was not significant.

He was consciously and continuously guiding the monster's behavior, leading it as much as possible toward the coordinates where the Reincarnators had previously stayed.

This giant beast might possess great destructive power against the city, but facing him, it was essentially a terrible match.

Bai Cangshu belonged to the category of small, high-mobility, high-destruction individuals; a giant beast with a build like Godzilla found it very hard to hit him, and he could dodge its powerful breath attacks quite easily.

Hum~

Blue-white light gathered in the giant beast's mouth once more; at this moment, the radiation level had likely gone off the charts, and even with Bai Cangshu's Constitution and defense, he felt his skin itching unbearably, the Flame Dragon Scale appearing involuntarily.

Bai Cangshu's figure flickered, deliberately revealing himself from the wind.

The giant beast, devoid of reason, fired a breath attack directly at Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu took an easy step, his figure catapulting from the air; the giant beast's breath chased his figure, carving a terrifying scar directly through the city.

In the city below, someone finally could not hold back; Bai Cangshu saw a figure wrapped in flames jump out of a building full of windows just as the atomic breath was about to strike it.

With flames enveloping his body, he flew from the air toward the direction of the sea.

The flight speed was not slow, but it had not yet reached the speed of sound.

Bai Cangshu's mouth curled into a smile; he immediately bent his knees and stepped on the air dozens of times in succession, the air congealing as if it were solid.

Bang!

White Ripples spread out in circles, and Bai Cangshu tore through the air like a sharp arrow, chasing after the fire man.

The methods of the Black Ball Squad members in this world were very singular; such a flamboyant ability made it clear at a glance that they were Reincarnators.

【Fire Man】 His black jacket had already been burned away in the flames; he had a mutant Bloodline and possessed the ability to manipulate fire, but he could not generate fire autonomously.

Therefore, he had to use the dragon fire of the Captain, Black Dragon, or Special Items he carried to generate flames.

At this moment, the Fire Man was enjoying the final burning of his life; he knew very well that as long as he appeared, that Tao Baibai would most likely come to hunt him down.

And he would absolutely be unable to escape from the opponent's hands.

But... only in this way would the Captain and Omega and the others have a chance to live.

"Whoa~ whoa!"

The Fire Man shouted loudly while flying; the fear of impending death transformed into a strange emotion mixed with terror and excitement, born from the great righteousness of sacrificing himself for his teammates.

"Come and chase me, Tao Baibai!"

He roared, but the next moment, a hand was already pressed against his neck; the burning flames could not cause any effect on Tao Baibai at all.

Out of the corner of his eye, the Fire Man saw the pitch-black Armament Haki, and while his heart turned cold, two bottles appeared in his hands.

He clapped his hands together, and the two bottles collided and shattered instantly, green flames erupting from them with a boom.

【Wildfire】, a Special Item also from A Song of Ice and Fire; the power of this flame was significantly greater than ordinary fire.

Moreover, it could be contained in bottles, making it a very efficient item for him.

As the flames touched his body, his skin curled instantly; in his agony, the Fire Man thought that if he were burned to death by his own fire at this moment, it would perhaps be the greatest mockery of Tao Baibai.

Hum~

A massive force suddenly struck, accompanied by a crack; the man's spine was shattered instantly, and the terrifying force stopped the man mid-flight in an instant.

Amidst the burning of the Wildfire, Bai Cangshu was wrapped entirely in Armament Haki, reading the man's thoughts with great interest.

At the same time, his Heart Net adjusted silently, and he began to be able to passively monitor the locations of everyone within range who mentioned a certain word.

"Fire Man, is it? I have to say, this heroic self-moving act of yours has entertained me quite well."

Bai Cangshu hoisted the Reincarnator, who was now paraplegic due to his shattered spine; even as the flames burned his body, he could no longer feel the pain.

Eye to eye, Bai Cangshu said with a wicked sense of humor:

"Do you know? Your teammates are constantly chanting your name, reminiscing about your heroism..."

"Thinking about that, don't you feel like your sacrifice has gained meaning?"

Bai Cangshu held the opponent with his left hand, while his right hand stroked the opponent's chest inch by inch, finally stopping in front of the violently beating heart.

He looked back at the giant beast, which was roaring and destroying things because it had lost its target; at the same time, the effect of Heart Net lv4 allowed him to hear clearly, inside the building over there.

Several Reincarnators were grieving and furious because of the man's self-sacrificial performance in his hands.

"Tell me, at this very moment, is this beating thing... the heart?"

The Fire Man looked at Tao Baibai in a daze; he had already begun to hear the opponent's words unclearly. The excruciating pain of the Wildfire burning had vanished due to his shattered spine, but flowing away with it was his life force.

His brain began to lose blood supply, and his various organs began to stop working.

He was about to die.

【Fire Man】 Yan Chengxin suddenly felt very sad in his heart; he thought of his parents farming at home, the two of them always believing he had found a good job, which was how he could earn so much money.

After he died, what would they do...

Bai Cangshu tilted his head, feeling that intense emotion, and the man whose Spirit was constantly fluctuating along with this emotion.

He finally caught a trace of the 【Empty】.

Pfft!

Before the man could be burned to death by his own Wildfire, Bai Cangshu gently poked through the opponent's chest.

Inside the building, Lancer drew a Magic circle and planted the seedling of a strange tree.

Omega was feeling somewhat dejected at this moment, because the sudden Purge Mission made Omega, who always liked to use information to reap the greatest benefits in mission worlds, feel very guilty.

He felt that it was he who had caused the deaths of Ghost Talent and Fire Man.

"It is time to go, Omega; Fire Man's sacrifice was worth it."

Lancer completed the ritual, and he received a prompt, once again unlocking the Reputation for the Outer God Deformed Dwelling.

As long as they could successfully plant the faith of the Old Gods in this world, they would be able to obtain some additional rewards.

Nowadays, only this method of completely transforming the world and introducing Outer Gods could, to a certain extent, compensate for their lack of combat power and obtain losses sufficient to make up for the deaths of two members.

Boom!

A terrifying roaring sound rang out once again; it was the posture produced only when a certain unit was engaged in supersonic Flight.

Almost the instant the sound rang out, Lancer's eyes widened in shock, and he instantly pressed both hands onto his heavy sword, an invisible "Circle" appearing around him.

Bang!

The moment the building's outer wall shattered, a human figure, trailing white clouds and smoke, crashed thunderously into the "Circle" in front of Lancer.

Lancer's body was incredibly fast in that instant; the moment Tao Baibai crashed in front of him, the heavy sword traced a silver line and slashed into Tao Baibai's neck.

Pfft!

Fresh blood sprayed.

"Did it work?!"

Omega felt a surge of joy in his heart, only to immediately see Tao Baibai, whose neck had been more than half severed by the sword, tilt his head and reach out to hand over an object.

"Can you tell me, how did you obtain... this kind of 'Heart'?"

Boom! Bright yellow flames ignited on Lancer's body.
