Chapter 456: Follower of the Ancient Outer God (3k)

【You have consumed a piece of specially cooked giant beast meat, ingredient grade: Excellent, deliciousness grade: Rare and Peerless】

【Gourmet Cell has gained significant growth, current: lv2 (128/200)】

【Milestone · Gourmet triggered, you have obtained the temporary buff · Atomic Reaction (Rare and Peerless), duration 10 minutes】

【Atomic Reaction (Rare and Peerless): You can obtain energy from nuclear reactions and gain immunity to radiation】

Bai Cangshu chewed the giant beast meat in his mouth; processed by the 【Cook】 ability, this meat had become extremely delicious and full of chewiness.

It seemed the hardness of the muscle fibers far exceeded that of ordinary creatures; Bai Cangshu was unsure if Godzilla truly existed in this world, or if the information about the Multi-faceted Alien creating these giant beasts came from other aliens.

This race, which viewed itself as having transcended the ordinary level of life, had merely repelled the Four-eyed Alien when faced with their attack, and did not choose to exterminate them.

Yet, because the Four-eyed Alien was going to attack Earth, they chose to send the lowest-level technology that could repel the Four-eyed Alien—Gantz—into the hands of humans before the Four-eyed Alien arrived on Earth.

They did not care about the survival of humans, yet they intervened in everything; this behavior was less like that of a protector.

It was more like the experts in a botanical or zoological garden; they would protect every species that might face extinction, but would not intervene too much.

Bai Cangshu was just there in the Prime Minister's Residence, roasting beast meat as if no one else were around, when he sensed a group of voices appear out of thin air four kilometers away.

With just a slight perception, he knew that it was Gantz teleporting a team over.

The previous large-scale mission to hunt Reincarnation Aliens was likely issued by the Multi-faceted Alien, with the goal of creating chaos or allowing them to make contact with Reincarnators.

And as for this current batch, Bai Cangshu noticed they were all Asian faces, knowing it was highly likely that someone around the Prime Minister of Japan had leaked the information.

Those conglomerates controlling the black spheres were attempting to retaliate and stop him through this form.

Bai Cangshu pointed a finger casually, and a Dodon Ray shot out, killing a person from several kilometers away.

Then, various booming sounds began to ring out continuously.

It was likely that the group could not find his location and were firing wildly using those high-powered weapons.

"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao!"

"The list is out!"

Suga Hideto walked into the conference room with his secretary at this moment; both ignored the demolished table and burned documents, and as if they had not received any warnings from the security forces, they did not mention a word about the men in black appearing on the perimeter of the residence.

Bai Cangshu simply took a look at the list; the Kujo, Fujiwara, and Tachibana families were marked as the most suspicious, and several other families with slightly less suspicion were listed below, with a thick analysis booklet placed under the list.

But Bai Cangshu did not care about those things; he only needed to find one family, and whether these people were killed too few, too many, or even if he killed the wrong ones, had nothing to do with him.

After obtaining the detailed location, Bai Cangshu bent his knees and leaped up, crashing through the roof of the residence with a bang and flying into the sky.

Suga Hideto stood in the conference room, watching this scene, speechless for a long time; when a Superman truly appeared, and clearly held no goodwill toward humanity, he instinctively began to feel fear.

Bai Cangshu rose into the air, seeing from afar that a large group of Gantz members wearing Reinforced Suits were firing toward the residence from the fields, and the security forces who had arrived at the sound were already suffering heavy casualties.

Conventional human weapons had an insurmountable generational gap when faced with Gantz technology; even the most ordinary Reinforced Suit could ignore the fire of quite a lot of bullets.

And conversely, the firearms provided by Gantz would basically result in severed limbs or death if an ordinary person was even grazed.

These people were cheering with pleasure because they were slaughtering the weak, and were even more excited because they could openly attack the location of high-ranking government officials.

Bai Cangshu stopped in the air; he looked at the crowd below, but in the end, he did nothing, and accompanied by the explosion of a sonic boom, he flew away from the sky with a roar.

Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief at this moment; just in that instant, her sense of crisis was about to explode, as Tao Baibai was right above her head, and once her identity as a Reincarnator was discovered at this time, it would almost certainly be a death sentence.

But it seemed her luck was good.

"Alright, everyone get up; that guy should have gone to find those people controlling Gantz, and before long, that black sphere will probably lose its effect..."

Xuan Yeji lay prone without getting up; he touched the powerful equipment on his body, recalling the past life-and-death struggles with various aliens, and those who had died in battle.

To think... was everything just a game designed by those rich people and conglomerates...

Xuan Yeji raised his head; at this moment, this young man, who had long been worn down by life and lost his edge, had eyes filled with fury, almost making Kato Masaru, who saw this look, think that the all-powerful Xuan Yeji of his youth had returned to this body.

Bai Cangshu stepped on Ace's Single-Person Boat, streaking across Tokyo from the sky; this city had been nearly half-destroyed due to the fighting between Reincarnators, and the remaining areas were now under heavy martial law.

And Bai Cangshu could see that in the areas blockaded by the military, there were still many zombie-like creatures active; these zombies were likely controlled by something and were not blindly charging the military's defensive lines.

Instead, they seemed to have stationed themselves in areas like Shibuya.

And in other parts of Tokyo, it was not exactly peaceful either; the arrival of the previous nuclear explosion and the successive terrible disasters had left humanity in extreme panic.

The streets were completely blocked by fleeing cars, and people who had lost their means of transport were carrying backpacks and food in large numbers, attempting to head to more remote rural areas.

But the main traffic arteries had been blockaded by the government, and the number of people who had left their own communities only to be blocked in these unfamiliar zones grew, eventually brewing into terrible chaos.

Cries of wailing could be heard everywhere.

And in that kind of despair, Bai Cangshu suddenly sensed a certain special power.

That power made him feel both familiar and strange.

Bai Cangshu thought for a moment and found the source that was extremely similar to that feeling from his Backpack—the 【Crown of the Outer God】!

This item, which had allowed Bai Cangshu to almost directly borrow the divine power of the Inari God in the B711 world, was also emitting light at this moment.

【Crown of the Outer God】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless · Extreme】

【Description: A crown of faith condensed from the wishes of gods, a crown to act on the earth on behalf of gods】

【Effect 1: After wearing, gain the temporary Tese · Godly Thought - gain the ability to pray to gods; according to the world level and the god's Authority, can be granted weak to medium divine power】

【Effect 2: After wearing, will be regarded as a follower by any member of the Outer God Deformed Dwelling, Reputation gains an additional 100% increase】

【Effect 3: In a world where members of the Outer God Deformed Dwelling have descended, wearing this crown will be regarded as the "Outer God Cult Founder", gaining dominance over Reincarnators and Plot Characters of that faction】

【Effect 4: God-Man (1/5), set not complete, power of the Outer God cannot be used temporarily】

This item emitted a glow, and Bai Cangshu looked at Effect 2 and Effect 3, understanding the reason.

When he killed the Captain of the White Temple, he had actually noticed that strange tree and that magic circle, but he had not felt any special power at the time, so he had not realized that it was actually also a ritual of an 【Outer God】.

The White Temple had used the ritual in this world to guide the gaze and power of a certain Outer God to descend.

Bai Cangshu thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he then placed the crown back on his head.

【You have used the item · Crown of the Outer God】

【You have obtained the temporary Tese: Godly Thought】

【You have obtained the gaze of the Outer God: Ancient Alien God, you will be regarded as its God-Favored One, and you have obtained control over the Monsters and Ghosts】

【You have become the leader of the hidden faction in this world: Outer God Deformed Dwelling, you will be regarded as the Outer God Cult Founder, you have obtained dominance over the Reincarnators and Plot Characters of this faction, and you can locate them】

【You have activated a new faction event: Winter is Coming】

……

After Bai Cangshu put on the crown, he suddenly sensed many auras; this 【Ancient Alien God】 was far more powerful than that incompetent fox Outer God.

The Reincarnators had only opened one ritual in this world and created a few Monsters, yet It could autonomously utilize the vast amount of death and despair in this world to guide many people into becoming Its believers, continuing to increase the rituals and gradually descend.

Bai Cangshu sensed the nodes of those rituals, his expression revealing neither joy nor sorrow; he simply landed on the ground, raised a finger, and then a bone-chilling aura began to spread from his hand.

【Winter is Coming】

A moment later, several Monsters, their bodies appearing as if frozen by ice, walked out from the ruins of Tokyo, followed by a large number of Ghosts.

——

Somewhere in Shinjuku, the expressions of two Reincarnators wearing sacrificial robes suddenly changed drastically.

【You have triggered a faction event: The Outer God Cult Founder's Summons】

【Event Description: The Outer God Deformed Dwelling Founder and Ancient Alien God's God-Favored One, Tao Baibai, has descended and is summoning all faction members to gather at the target location】

【Success Reward: Slight increase in Reputation】

【Failure Penalty: Significant decrease in Reputation】

"What the hell, Outer God Cult Founder Tao Baibai?!"

Following Lancer's orders, the two had been secretly setting up rituals outside Tokyo to guide the will of the Ancient Alien God, and they were on the verge of having enough Reputation to open the Reputation Store.

Yet they suddenly received a notification that the leader of the hidden faction, Outer God Deformed Dwelling, had appeared and was summoning all Outer God Deformed Dwelling members to a designated coordinate.

The two looked at each other; they definitely could not go to this coordinate, and they probably could not stay in the Outer God Deformed Dwelling faction either.

"Let's go, we have no choice but to flee abroad!"

Before leaving, looking at the few people bound in the room, the two frowned, picked up a piece of Dragon Glass, and walked toward them.

"Looks like there's no chance to create a 【Night King】, these people, should we just kill them..."

When the Reincarnators spoke of killing, they felt no psychological burden.

The few people who were bound immediately shook their heads in terror.

"Don't, don't kill me, I still have children... If they don't see me, they will be scared..."

A woman cried until her eyes were red and swollen, but the Reincarnator holding the Dragon Glass felt no pity and prepared to kill her casually, while the woman trembled incessantly.

"Then I beg you to turn me into a Monster; even if I become a Monster, I still want to..."

Pfft!

The Dragon Glass pierced the woman's heart; her hot, burning heart instantly began to turn cold, and accompanied by eerie Magic chanting, the blood throughout her body began to turn cold.

The cold air began to permeate; 【Zetsu】 and 【Mu】 looked at each other, both feeling that there was some potential in this transformation, but considering that their coordinates had already been exposed to Tao Baibai.

With no heart to continue their research, the two turned and fled the scene.

Only the woman was left watching the world turn ice-blue; she reached out in despair, but those two guys who had taken everything didn't even look at her, let alone show any... pity or regret.

"I... am so full of hatred."
