Chapter 455: The Desperate Counterattack of Gantz in Japan

Bonnie held her left hand in front of her, intense static electricity flickering between her fur. Seeing this, Xuan Yeji and Kato Masaru quickly raised their hands to show they had no hostility.

Bonnie, seeing Shimohira Reika and the others, remained tense, her body taut as Armament Haki covered her skin.

Team battle missions were already cruel, and the sudden appearance of a Purge Mission and a Scavenger, the abrupt changes in this world, and the powerful raid by the White Temple had all caught her off guard.

Having lost her teammates and her right arm, she was like a startled cat; at the slightest hint of danger, she would attack recklessly and then flee.

"Your arm..."

Shimohira Reika was shocked to see the powerful Bonnie in such a disheveled state after losing her right arm and immediately wanted to step forward, but Bonnie pointed her Zhua at her.

"Bonnie, calm down, we're here to help you!"

After much soothing from the group, Bonnie's guard lowered slightly, mainly because she had indeed discovered from her Reputation panel that her reputation with the Tokyo Team had not decreased, but increased.

Xuan Yeji quickly stated their purpose, but before they could continue to describe what they had encountered, the Gantz teleportation had already begun.

Shimohira Reika's head began to disappear from the top down, a sight that actually made Bonnie's eyes light up.

She immediately reached out to grab Shimohira Reika, and sure enough, her own head also began to disappear bit by bit; when a Gantz mission ends and teleports people back to the Black Ball room, one only needs to grab the body of a Black Ball Squad member to be teleported along with them.

After Bonnie teleported into the Black Ball room, her right arm grew back.

She was in a special state at this moment; on one hand, she was Bonnie the Reincarnation Alien, listed as a kill target by Gantz, and on the other, she was a member of the Tokyo Squad.

The group returned to the Black Ball room, but before they could relax, new images began to appear on the Black Ball.

Even the song that usually played before every mission did not appear this time.

In Bonnie's view, this behavior likely meant that those controlling Gantz were so desperate that they had lost their composure.

【Target: Reincarnation Alien · Boss · Tao Baibai】

【Characteristics: Strong, terrifying, cruel】

【Points: 100+】

【Kill Tao Baibai, the whole team gets full points!!】

For the first time, the Black Ball displayed a prompt that the entire team would receive full points upon a kill, which made Xuan Yeji and the others look at each other, feeling strange.

"It's that guy..."

Kaze Daizaemon's expression was solemn as he looked at the picture appearing in the Black Ball; it was the face of a handsome man, but he knew very well that this guy was definitely just wearing a human skin.

That kind of power far exceeded any alien they had ever seen.

The mere shockwave of an attack could send them all flying, and he didn't even need to strike to render the Tokyo Team unable to act.

Sakata Kenzou, wearing sunglasses, also had a serious expression; in fact, during that brief moment of contact, he had tried to use his Superpower to affect this Tao Baibai, but the opponent was so fast that his eyes couldn't track him, and his Superpower couldn't lock onto him at all.

"A bit of advice from a former teammate: I suggest you give up on this mission."

Bonnie clutched her wrist and flexed it; Gantz's technology in this regard was no different from the Infinite Dimensional Space, and the restored arm felt completely normal.

She pointed at Tao Baibai in the Black Ball and stated briefly:

"That guy is a Monster; you are absolutely no match for him."

"In your eyes, I am very strong, right?"

Bonnie spoke, and the others nodded, but Bonnie continued:

"This 'very strong' me was just slashed in the arm by another Reincarnation Alien in one move and was almost killed;"

"And that Reincarnation Alien who could defeat me in one move would likely be unable to take a single hit from this Tao Baibai..."

Bonnie had never seen Tao Baibai attack, but she knew very well what kind of power those Title-level Reincarnators possessed—they were guys who could easily wipe out her team or the White Temple.

And Tao Baibai had single-handedly slaughtered Title-level Reincarnators before that terrifying B711 Secondary World mission even began.

Their strength was not even in the same dimension.

Kato Masaru completely failed to understand how, as both were "Reincarnation Aliens," their strength could differ to such an extent.

But faced with a chance for everyone to leave Gantz together, how could they bear to give up?

"As long as there are enough of us, if we all shoot our guns together, no matter what, we should be able to kill him..."

At this moment, human body parts began to appear in the space again; some started appearing from the feet, others from the head.

These people were usually humans who had died recently, their information harvested by Gantz to enter the system.

A handsome, long-haired man appeared first; seeing this person, Xuan Yeji's expression changed drastically: Hequan Ziyin?!

This person was a former Captain of the Tokyo Team who had achieved a full score, chosen to have his memory wiped to leave Gantz, later returned to Gantz due to a massacre, and was ultimately killed by a Vampire.

But no one had earned 100 points to resurrect him, yet Gantz was actually resurrecting him directly right now?!

What concerned them even more was who appeared next; Bonnie's body stiffened as she watched familiar faces reappear, and for a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

The delicate-featured, androgynous 【Lotus】 and the sturdy, gentle-tempered good guy 【Amatarasu】 were successively replicated by Gantz.

More and more people appeared, and every one of them exuded an aura of elite toughness.

How could Bonnie not know that this was likely the financial conglomerates controlling the Tokyo Team's Black Ball, having actively intervened in this game.

The existence of Tao Baibai had already made those people unable to sleep or eat in peace.

That was why they had actively started breaking the rules to replicate these powerful Black Ball Squad members.

As the personnel began to assemble, the sides of the Black Ball popped open, and various weapons and Reinforced Suits appeared one by one.

This was proof that the mission teleportation was about to begin.

"What's going on, Bonnie? How did we end up here?"

Amatarasu hadn't figured out what had happened yet, but Lotus already had a look that was half-crying, half-smiling; he shook his head and gave Bonnie an apologetic look.

"Sorry, Bonnie, it seems we've uselessly died ahead of time, causing your team to lose points..."

Listening to Lotus's characteristically gentle tone, Bonnie's eyes instantly blurred; she looked at her teammates and said:

"Everyone, listen to me, we must stall for time; as long as we wait for the full moon... only by waiting for the full moon can I protect you~"

"Before then, please survive as best you can."

Lotus shook his head, put on his Reinforced Suit, and his head began to disappear bit by bit; the teleportation had begun.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Captain Bonnie? Ama and I have already... naturally, it is for us to use these worthless lives of ours to buy you time!"

Ama also nodded, though his head had already been completely teleported away.

Lutes looked at Bonnie one last time and said,

"Bonnie, please live on well in our stead."

Hum~

Because the head was teleported first, vision recovered before the ability to move.

The members of the Tokyo Squad looked at their surroundings, which seemed to be in some field; judging by the distance to Mount Fuji, they were clearly no longer in Tokyo.

This was the first time they had been teleported to a place outside of Tokyo.

All around, humans wearing Reinforced Suits were being teleported in one after another, the number far exceeding the total headcount of the Tokyo Team.

Bonnie knew that the conglomerates within Japan had likely all united, wanting to oppose Tao Baibai.

But this behavior was, in all likelihood, also Mu.

The next moment, a heart-palpitating sense of crisis emerged; her Observation Haki sensed danger, and she immediately pressed Shimohira Reika and Lutes down beside her, shouting out loud.

"Look out!"

Hum!

A golden ray pierced through the air from an extreme distance, shooting straight over; a Tokyo Team member standing not far from Bonnie was shot through the center of their brow without moving.

Pfft!

Fresh blood and brain matter splattered instantly; the Reinforced Suit failed to have any effect at all, and the person swayed twice before collapsing to the ground, silent.

"Ah! Look out, the enemy is in the manor!"

Someone shouted, and the next moment, various H-guns and gravity guns began firing wildly.

Bonnie, however, held everyone down and said,

"Don't move, we just need to hold out."

"Hold out? Hold out until when?"

Lutes, being pressed to the ground, still spoke to explain.

"Hold out until Tao Baibai kills all those conglomerates and seizes the Gantz; our mission will naturally be canceled then..."
