Chapter 460: Kaioken

"I accept your mother!"

Guicai angrily raised the X-gun in his hand, aimed it at the Multi-faceted Alien, and pulled the trigger directly.

No living human would easily accept death because of a few words from the other party.

The individual known as a human is, from the most fundamental information level, written through with 【Survival】 and 【Continuity】.

Hum!

The high-energy particle beam submerged into that fleshly body—which one could not know if it was the Multi-faceted Alien's original body—and exploded with a bang a few seconds later.

Flesh and blood stained the pure white Truth House red, but the Multi-faceted Alien had no reaction whatsoever.

They felt neither pain nor anger, and they certainly would not harbor unpleasant emotions because of Guicai's actions.

They gazed at Guicai as calmly as if they were looking down at a specimen.

"The moment you were chosen by that Great Existence 2 months and 3 days ago, your future was already destined to be death;"

"You have a 54% probability of dying in the world of your first mission deployment;"

"You have a 17% probability of dying during this deployment, dying on the night of the full moon at the hands of a woman named 【Bonnie】; she will tear you apart in an instant with speed and strength that completely surpass your reaction;"

"You have a 9% probability of dying in the real world after returning; because you survived the team battle mission and became careless, ignoring the warnings of 【Omega】 and Lancer, you will use your power in the real world, inviting a lethal threat, and die from a car bomb;"

The Multi-faceted Alien methodically combed through all of Guicai's possibilities and timelines one by one; Guicai discovered that his best ending was merely living through two more missions in this current assignment.

Because he had previously witnessed the Multi-faceted Alien's ability to see through the past, the future, and even the future after a soul's reincarnation.

He fell into an even deeper despair.

His own death was fated; the moment he became a Reincarnator, it was destined that he could not live for very long.

At this moment, Guicai's anger also began to dissipate, leaving only an inescapable despair and sorrow.

The Multi-faceted Alien gave its final message at this time.

"We have merely collapsed all of your possibilities into your current state."

"You need not be angry, nor need you be sorrowful; for a Short-lived Species, the state of 【Survival】 is not the norm, and returning to eternal dead silence is your true peaceful sleep."

Guicai lowered his head, no longer arguing, not knowing if he had been persuaded or if he had completely given up on thinking.

【Determining cultivation conditions...】

【Determining...】

Bai Cangshu sat cross-legged in the air; in the massive manor below, over a dozen Cooks were racking their brains to process the meat of giant beasts and the monster corpses confiscated by the military.

In reality, Bai Cangshu's requirements were simple; he only needed basic cooking—whether boiling, frying, roasting, or any other method—as long as these ingredients were processed to a degree where they could be considered food.

Because he possessed the special ability of 【Cook】, even a pile of shit would become very delicious shit under the Cook's ability.

But Suga Hideto did not know this; he ordered these top-tier chefs of Japanese cuisine to ensure they completed the best cooking of their lives, turning these things that normal humans could never have an appetite for into delicious dishes.

Yoshida Rei, the Shintoism High Priest wearing white ritual robes, and Baikawa Ijin, who was responsible for the management of shrines directly under the Emperor, both nodded. These two old men were the two leaders of Japan's Shintoism, and at this time, they had rarely abandoned their power struggles and both arrived at the Prime Minister's temporary official residence.

They claimed they wanted to protect the great noble person of Shintoism since ancient times, the messenger of the gods—Tao Baibai.

Suga Hideto became increasingly convinced by this claim; just yesterday, families like Kujo and Koizumi simultaneously sent people over, expressing that they wanted to have an audience with Tao Baibai, their expressions quite fearful.

And at this very moment, Tao Baibai was demonstrating divine miracles, sitting directly in the air, as if he were attaining the Dao.

【Determination passed】

【You have successfully mastered Ability · Kaioken (S+)】

【Kaioken Lv1: Completely burn all Qi within the body, forcing the body into total overload, and completely multiply (2x) strength, speed, attack ability, and defense ability】

Bai Cangshu's heart beat violently and uncontrollably; even he had not expected that he could master an ability like Kaioken so quickly.

Kaioken required martial arts mastery of Lv7 or higher, a Constitution of 50 or higher, and 【Qi】 energy of 50 or higher; almost every single one was a terrifying numerical value that low-to-mid-tier Reincarnators could not reach.

But because Bai Cangshu had always been diligent in his martial arts abilities and invested massive resources, under the bonus of 【Tao Baibai's Pink Robe】, he had long since reached these conditions;

His 50 points of Qi energy also possessed a bug-like determination threshold when determining energy attributes, due to the 【Energy:?】 Tese of the 【Ten Thousand Calamities Yin Spirit Yellow Springs Body】.

Bai Cangshu knew that his true 【Qi】 intensity was likely far from 50 points; even counting the attributes gained every time his Dodon Ray leveled up, it was far from enough.

Even harder was the 50 points of Constitution, because only after reaching the 【Strong】 rank could Reincarnators actively distribute attributes; therefore, even a Reincarnator specialized in Constitution would have to obtain 30 free attributes after reaching the Strong rank and put them all into Constitution to meet the requirement.

Even for a Great Sin-type Reincarnator, wanting to obtain this much Constitution through opening Scarlet Drop Cards was a terrifying kill count.

But the Multi-faceted Alien's Gift allowed Bai Cangshu to get his wish instantly.

Therefore, Bai Cangshu was very certain that the chips offered by the Multi-faceted Alien were these Attribute Points; the Multi-faceted Alien not only knew his goal but was also capable of directly molding an individual that met the requirements.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Bai Cangshu discarded his thoughts; regardless of what purpose the Multi-faceted Alien had, his thirst for power would not stop.

Golden Qi suddenly condensed and instantly became scorching hot within Bai Cangshu's body, burning like a flame; in just an instant, Bai Cangshu felt his entire body's cells emitting a terrifying burning pain.

But Bai Cangshu had experienced Bloodline Refining many times, and each time had been the agony of his blood being completely evaporated.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu felt that his resistance to this kind of pain was unimaginably strong.

He opened his mouth and let out a low roar involuntarily.

That was the natural bodily reaction of Bai Cangshu after the Qi, which was rising ever higher as it constantly reacted with his cells, expanded within his body.

He felt as if his body were about to explode; while his cell activity increased violently, it felt as if all his cells were experiencing the pain of being torn apart, and his nerves were being shredded as well.

And that explosive Qi surged crazily through his entire body's cells, meridians, and blood vessels.

His resident Breathing Style and Ripple Qigong were broken in an instant, completely unable to be maintained.

Pfft!

The overly intense Qi pierced through Bai Cangshu's skin, which was now comparable to a dragon beast; after his capillaries ruptured, his blood was instantly evaporated by the intense Qi and heat.

The golden Qi was now reflected as blood-red.

"Ah... ha!"

Bai Cangshu's muscles swelled throughout his entire body; unlike the state where his body expanded over three meters when his incomplete talent was activated previously, his muscles were now so taut they were nearly at the level of steel.

His cells were constantly tearing and undergoing Regeneration, yet the strengthening of his physical body was perfectly restricted to his current physique.

Creak, creak...

Muscles squeezed against one another, and explosive power was compressed within his cells and muscle tissues.

【You have used Kaioken lv1, you have been strengthened】

Bai Cangshu spread his hands, instantly erupting with all the pain accumulated in his muscles and that overflowing Qi.

"Ha!"

Boom!

Intense Qi erupted from Bai Cangshu's mouth, transforming into a Qi Gong Wave that shot into the sky, subsequently exploding at an altitude of several thousand meters.

The shockwave spread in circles, forming Ripple-shaped clouds that completely covered the top of the official residence.

Below, the official residence's guard unit all covered their ears, looking at the sky with panicked expressions.

Bai Cangshu was still not satisfied; he clenched his right fist, and in this instant, with over 100 points of base strength amplified by the effect, he felt his own power was unimaginably immense.

He punched out only half an inch, and as the sonic boom cloud exploded, the air in front of him felt like thick liquid, caving in from his punch.

The next moment, accompanied by a hum.

A white dragon-shaped plume of smoke hundreds of meters long smashed down from the sky to the ground with a roar.

Boom!

The official residence shook violently.
