Chapter 464: A Double Loss Is Better Than A Solo Win
【You have attacked an Alien God Creation; you have lost the divine favor of the Alien God: Ancient Alien God.】
【You have lost the status of God-Favored One of the Alien God: Ancient Alien God.】
An icy aura surged from all around. The ghosts turned their heads, seemingly smelling the fresh "scent of a human" on Bai Cangshu, and instantly became manic.
Bai Cangshu, however, still stood before the massive tree of flesh and blood. He watched Suga Hideto, whose face had become pained, and floated up from the ground, tapping his finger against Suga Hideto's chest.
"What's wrong, Suga Hideto? Does my act of wanting to save this country make you feel pain?"
"You don't have that thing called a 【Heart】 either..."
Suga Hideto opened his mouth to explain, but with a *pfft* sound, he spat out a large amount of flesh and blood. His body had long since fused with this giant tree, and the inside was filled with human flesh and blood.
The Great Sin ability of 【Excessive Slaughter】 was very suitable for this kind of physical attack. As long as the attack could break the opponent's defense, Excessive Slaughter would significantly amplify the damage suffered by the opponent.
It was merely a single piercing wound, yet in Bai Cangshu's perception, Suga Hideto, who seemed to have fused the life force and flesh of hundreds of people, was heavily wounded.
In his agony, Suga Hideto's face twisted rapidly. The icy Magic Power completely destroyed his psychological defenses, and the self-perception and bottom line Suga Hideto had always held were also completely abandoned by him.
The reason Suga Hideto had been reluctant to be assimilated was that he had always held onto the underlying Logic that he was the Prime Minister of Japan and that he had to act for the country and the people. But after Bai Cangshu ruthlessly told him that to lift this curse, he must be killed, Suga Hideto's selfishness finally overcame this heroic spirit.
He did not display the "radiance of humanity" that Bai Cangshu had expected.
"Ugh—pfft!"
Suga Hideto spat out a mouthful of blood again. The next second, his face was completely covered by that twisted flesh, revealing only his icy blue eyes. Because the surface of the giant tree was frozen, its defensive power rose significantly.
"It hurts so much, Tao Baibai!"
"You guy, you weren't exactly a good person to begin with, were you? Hmph... and now you're pretending to be some kind of hero; it's truly laughable!"
The huge, eerie "God Tree" rose from the ground, with a diameter exceeding four meters and a height of over fifty meters. After it rose, its roots were covered in human flesh and severed limbs, like food scraps that hadn't been digested in time.
Bai Cangshu looked at the completely "darkened" Suga Hideto before him, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had thought that this Prime Minister, who had swallowed his pride before him for the "greater good," would be a figure who could let him see a 【Heart】.
He hadn't expected that once his own life and death were involved, he would also become so ugly.
Roar!
Suga Hideto let out a roar devoid of anything new. The surrounding ghosts instantly lunged at Bai Cangshu, but immediately, another, more terrifying roar erupted from within Bai Cangshu's body.
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap.
The ghosts lunging at Bai Cangshu were blasted away at several times the speed they had lunged with. They disintegrated while still in the air, and the rotting flesh and broken bones struck the surroundings like sharp arrows.
Thump, thump.
The giant tree staggered and tilted backward. Suga Hideto faced Tao Baibai's power directly but was completely unable to match it. He shook his body violently, and two new faces began to appear on the sides of the giant tree.
They were none other than the two leaders of Shintoism in this era. These two faces were in pain, but they still maintained their original appearances.
"Quick, cast a spell for me!"
"If we don't kill this Tao Baibai..."
Suga Hideto suddenly froze; Tao Baibai's figure had already vanished from before his eyes. On the other two faces, the eyes had just opened. These two high-ranking members of Shintoism didn't know whether to struggle or to cast a spell, but they only had time to focus their icy blue pupils on Bai Cangshu.
A pitch-black heavy sword had already torn through the air, carrying two trails of white mist swirling backward. Black-red lightning spread from the blade, instantly colliding with the cold air, breaking through the icy power, and plunging directly into the giant tree.
Ring!
The sound of the sword ringing had no crispness to it at all; it was as ear-piercing as if someone were using a sword to tear through steel.
Bai Cangshu had no sword technique to speak of. It was entirely due to the extremely high performance conversion of the 【Moonlight Silver Wolf】 Chao-fan Te-zheng after entering the night, turning his strength value of over fifty into a terrifying value approaching one hundred.
And then... he slashed down!
Pfft!
The pitch-black sword light was like a crescent moon, instantly passing through the giant tree and crashing into the snow-covered ground.
Rumble!
The ground exploded continuously. Snow, mud, and flesh were all thrown into the air, and the manor sank several meters with a crash.
Bai Cangshu put away the Dragon-Slaying Sword and watched as blue radiance condensed, finally transforming into a Drop Card before him.
【You have killed the Alien God Creation: Alien Tree, gaining 1200 Dimension Points.】
【You have obtained a Drop Card (Blue).】
【Your Reputation with the Ancient Alien God has decreased; current: Stranger (34/100).】
The "honeymoon period" between the Ancient Alien God and Bai Cangshu ended rapidly. After Bai Cangshu killed Suga Hideto, he saw an icy blue seal beneath the giant tree.
He could not recognize those characters, but by touching them, he still received a prompt.
【You have touched the Contract of the Ancient Alien God (Already signed).】
As Bai Cangshu's long black hair drifted about, he reached out his hand. In his eyes, the characters condensed from icy Magic Power were also composed of a large number of symbols.
Those symbols naturally possessed power.
Because he lacked the relevant knowledge, he could not read those symbols, but he didn't need to read them either.
Bai Cangshu reached out his hand, and when his fingers touched the icy blue symbols, those symbols began to dissipate, and the contract blurred rapidly.
Bai Cangshu then reached out and wiped randomly; after the contract flashed twice, it collapsed directly.
【You have destroyed the Contract of the Ancient Alien God.】
【Your Reputation with the Ancient Alien God has decreased; current: Hatred (78/100).】
Almost as soon as he completely ruined the Ancient Alien God's scheme, in Bai Cangshu's Heart Net perception, a large number of figures began to rush toward his location.
Those were the believers of the Ancient Alien God, as well as Its creations.
This Alien God with an overly strong "self-care ability" was, in the end, annoyed by Bai Cangshu and began to want to erase Bai Cangshu's existence.
Bai Cangshu's lips curled up. To him, only a situation where the Ancient Alien God profited alone was a loss of interest for him; now, a situation where neither side gained anything was actually better.
"No, it might not necessarily be a double loss..."
Bai Cangshu suddenly laughed aloud, shot into the sky, and held his right hand high, the title 【Wild Brilliance】 shining brightly.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered rapidly, and amidst the churning thunderclouds, bursts of muffled thunder began to explode.
This magnificent display was immediately accompanied by signs of ice and snow beginning to melt and the cold air beginning to dissipate, drawing the attention of the Japanese who still survived.
In places closer to Tokyo, those people could even see clearly a human figure in the sky, one hand held high amidst the flashing lightning, and the lightning in the sky seemed to respond to him, suddenly exploding with a boom.
Kato Masaru was hiding in a dilapidated factory with his younger brother, along with many others; this group of people had all been protected by Kato Masaru after heavy snow suddenly covered Japan and various monsters began to appear.
In the end, he did not agree with the thinking of Xuan Yeji and chose the path he believed to be correct.
At this moment, looking at that god-like figure in the sky, he inexplicably thought of a name.
Reincarnation Alien, perfect score boss, Tao Baibai!
"Is he... going to fight those monsters?!"
Immediately, recalling the advice Bonnie gave before she left, he put this thought away; Bonnie said that compared to any alien or any monster in this world today, Tao Baibai was the true monster.
If only a guy like this could stand on our side... how good that would be...
