Chapter 532: All the World's Evils, Seize It! (3k)

【Based on the class Assassin, you have gained Command Spell Enhancement: Regeneration.】

【Based on the class Assassin, you have gained Magic Power Replenishment (Strong).】

A continuous stream of power emerged from within his body, helping Bai Cangshu resist the erosion of the Black Mud; the power known as the Command Spell, in particular, revitalized Bai Cangshu's decaying flesh every time it appeared.

Bai Cangshu's current body actually exists somewhere between that of a Servant and a normal Reincarnator.

【Class: Assassin】 is like an invisible exoskeleton armor attached to Bai Cangshu's own physical body.

Most of the time, this armor restricts some of Bai Cangshu's abilities while simultaneously enhancing others.

However, when suffering from erosion, this erosive force acts directly upon Bai Cangshu's own body and soul beneath the 【Class: Assassin】.

Yet, that kind-hearted Master seems unable to "recognize" the reality that the Holy Grail War has already ended and that even the wish-granting phase has been seized by her own Servant, and she continues to provide powerful support to this Assassin using magic power supply and Command Spells.

Bai Cangshu received a massive boost for nothing.

As Bai Cangshu was continuously infected by the Black Mud, the first enhancement he obtained was his 【Immortality】 being upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced.

Bai Cangshu understood this easily, as the Holy Grail War is, by nature, a ritual for pursuing the 【Third Magic: Heaven's Feel】.

And the so-called 【Third Magic: Heaven's Feel】 is essentially a type of Magic that turns the soul into a perpetual motion machine-like material form, granting eternal life and infinite Magic Power.

Although Bai Cangshu does not believe that a ritual of the Holy Grail War's difficulty could truly grant one the complete 【Heaven's Feel】—that so-called eternal life, freely changeable soul form, and infinite Magic Power have never fully appeared in the Type-Moon World.

This is likely a special state that can only be reached based on the 【Root】.

But if it is merely to enhance one's own Immortality, it is highly likely to be achievable.

In fact, Bai Cangshu believes he does not need to absorb an excessive amount of "Black Mud" to achieve this effect.

Of course, because 【All the World's Evils】 distorts human wishes, it realizes them in a completely malicious way.

For example, at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu, having seen the truth that the Holy Grail was already polluted, used a Command Spell to order Saber to destroy the Holy Grail.

The result was that the Holy Grail was indeed destroyed, but the Black Mud that flowed out directly caused the Great Fire of Fuyuki City, creating a massive catastrophe;

Emiya Kiritsugu clearly had not made a wish, but merely issued a command while harboring the desire to save more people, yet it was still distorted into a catastrophic consequence.

Bai Cangshu considers himself a completely self-centered person; he is different from Emiya Kiritsugu. No matter how great a disaster the Greater Grail causes to Fuyuki City, or even if it destroys Japan or this world, he actually does not care.

Therefore, the best way for 【All the World's Evils】 to distort malice is naturally to destroy Bai Cangshu himself with the most violent and terrifying power.

Bai Cangshu is also aware of this, yet he still wishes to obtain all of the power.

There is greed in this, and there is also his understanding of the Infinite Dimensional Space.

Just like the infection and aberration that occurred after the Taishan Fujun Festival, as long as he possesses the possibility of survival, the Space will find a way to redeem him, this "loyal" Scavenger.

In a place like the Infinite Dimensional Space, as long as you can obtain it, almost any power can eventually be resolved.

Therefore, his infinite greed wants to absorb 【All the World's Evils】, including the 【Avenger: Angra Mainyu】 within it, into his body.

He treats his own Consciousness Space entirely as a massive shelter, turning no one away; Resentful Spirits, Cursed Spirits, vengeful spirits... even gods and Heroic Spirits, he wants to try accommodating them all.

The so-called 【Ten Thousand Calamity Resentful Spirit Yellow Springs Body】, in Bai Cangshu's view, is a special Constitution that accommodates all resentful spirits and controls all resentful spirits, thereby obtaining all manner of divine wonders.

【You have endured the erosion of All the World's Evils, the Tese: High-Speed Healing has been upgraded, currently: Super-Speed Regeneration.】

【You have suffered intense erosion, vitality significantly weakened...】

Not knowing how many times this prompt had appeared, Bai Cangshu only felt that his skin had become incredibly heavy, as if his entire person had become sluggish.

It was as if his soul had been filled with lead.

His thinking speed began to be affected, and the rotation speed of the Heart Vortex piercing into the sky also began to slow down.

——

"Hey, hey, that guy isn't going to mess this up, right!"

Gojo Satoru had already removed his blindfold; within his Six Eyes, white clouds swirled, but even he could not see clearly what the Black Mud constantly flowing and dripping from the Heart Throne actually was.

The Worm vaguely sensed the truth. Although he had not been able to leave Tao Baibai's body during this time, through the Heroic Spirits constantly being absorbed into this place, he had confirmed that the host, Tao Baibai, had likely entered the Type-Moon World.

"That is likely energy formed by carrying the malice and negative wishes of an entire world..."

The Worm answered Gojo Satoru thus, but everyone could only watch silently as the Black Mud constantly flowed and dripped from the 【Heart Throne】 hanging high in the air.

It then fell into this pure white Consciousness Space; because the few of them were guarding the four sides of the Heart Throne, not many resentful spirits could enter this space.

For a short time, no resentful spirits had come into contact with that stuff, but everyone knew that as long as the Black Mud kept invading, eventually, whether it flowed into the Yellow Springs or allowed those resentful spirits to touch it,

certain changes would inevitably occur.

Even a Reincarnator like the Worm had never encountered such a thing.

According to the settings, ordinary people who come into contact with this Black Mud basically suffer from malicious erosion, eventually leading to mental collapse or death; while Magicians with Magic Circuits who touch the Black Mud can try to resist using Thaumaturgy, but in the end, they will still be affected, suffering from mental erosion or a significant shortening of their lifespan;

Even those powerful Heroic Spirits and Servants, when infected by the Black Mud, will have their personalities distorted and their bodies damaged.

Then, what exactly are they, these Spirit Bodies?

Can they resist the erosion of the Black Mud?

The Worm was completely unable to know.

He suddenly turned his head to look at that special Spirit Body whose face was filled with black cursed seals. Black Face!

The special Spirit Body from the Naruto World: Shinigami!

In Fate, Gilgamesh not only did not suffer erosion upon contacting the Black Mud, but instead used these Black Muds to reshape his physical body, becoming a special Servant capable of independent existence.

Besides Gilgamesh being powerful enough as a Heroic Spirit, the special aspect, in the Worm's view, likely lies in two points.

First, Gilgamesh possesses Divinity;

Second, Gilgamesh is extremely arrogant and self-centered, a guy who is very difficult to be changed by malicious erosion.

Of these two points, Tao Baibai, who now holds the power of life and death over his group of Spirit Bodies, likely possesses the second point as well.

Tao Baibai's arrogance and self-centeredness were recognized by Gojo Satoru, who similarly considers himself the Honored One.

"Divinity... I think he needs Divinity!"

As soon as the Worm spoke, Gojo Satoru appeared in front of Black Face with an Instant Movement.

Black Face was wrapped in intense Spiritual Pressure; He did not fear Gojo Satoru, or rather, after awakening, He viewed Himself as superior to all the Spirit Bodies here.

He is a god!

"Go, sit on it!"

Gojo Satoru's gaze was cold, his entire body's Cursed Energy appearing as if it were burning, manifesting in this space in a form intermingled with pitch-black and scarlet.

After that Cursed Energy condensed, it resembled chains, appearing from the flesh and blood behind Gojo Satoru and hanging down into the Yellow Springs below.

A cold, deathly aura began to emanate from Gojo Satoru's body; he opened his arms, and suddenly, new eyes began to appear on both arms, all revealing the appearance of the Six Eyes once they opened.

This is...

Worm, Uchiha Madara, Minato Namikaze, and the newly entered Lv Bu and other Spirit Bodies were all stunned.

They had entered this space at different times, but none of them had ever seen Gojo Satoru in such a state.

They only felt that Gojo Satoru in this state seemed to be vaguely connected to the Yellow Springs, radiating an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

Black Face held that Tachi, not drawing it, confronted Gojo Satoru coldly for a moment, then spun and floated up.

"When the King returns, I will eat you."

Black Face's voice was hoarse and hollow, as if it did not enter others' senses directly, but was heard echoing in the surroundings.

This was an extremely Rare utterance from Him, and at the same time, it revealed terrible malice toward Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru, however, did not care; the chains behind him pulled within the Yellow Springs, his Cursed Energy extremely dense.

In this space, Cursed Spirits were born almost every moment, and as the only "Cursed User" in this world, he was naturally growing stronger.

At the same time, seeing Bai Cangshu becoming increasingly powerful, along with increasingly novel powers, Gojo Satoru was naturally unwilling to fall behind; he was likewise chasing after power in his own form.

The next moment, Gojo Satoru in this state appeared out of thin air before that pure white, constantly writhing Spirit Body, his mouth stretching open to reveal an incomparably grim smile.

"Miss, it seems there is still a debt between us that hasn't been settled, heh~ while that guy hasn't returned yet, I am very interested in settling it with you."

Gojo Satoru lowered his head, looking at White Face, who was using a Spirit Body to trap the blonde female knight, his gaze wanton; as his Cursed Energy radiated, his temperament became increasingly sinister.

White Face's eyes shifted, and she also realized that this Gojo Satoru before her was the very one she had cursed to death using the Taishan Fujun Festival as a sacrifice.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she was about to speak in mockery.

But she suddenly felt the world before her being torn apart.

Pfft!

The white Spirit Body turned into flying flesh and blood.

Gojo Satoru tore with his hands in a motion invisible to the naked eye; the space-distorting power of the Limitless directly tore apart the White Face that was using the AT Field to trap Saber.

White Face's consciousness fell into chaos; when she appeared again, she emerged from the murky yellow water, and just as she broke the surface, she saw the white-haired, sinister man with his head lowered, his Cursed Energy constantly surging.

"Damn it, this guy Tao Baibai really sucks everything into his body..."

At this moment, Black Face, having arrived in front of the Heart Throne, slowly fell into the Black Mud; the next moment, Black Face was struck as if by lightning.

Golden light erupted from the Heart Throne.

Hum!

A violent vibration occurred, and the next moment, Black Face was blasted away with a bang, like a ray of light, crashing into the Yellow Springs with a boom.

"Who gave you permission to touch my things?!"

The arrogant voice belonging solely to Bai Cangshu echoed in the sea of consciousness.

On the Heart Throne, the golden light was incomparably warm; the next moment, the tremors of the sea of consciousness had vanished.

Saber frowned; the Throne of Heroes absorbing her power seemed to... have disappeared?! —

【ex051, you have endured the erosion of All the World's Evils】

【You have obtained the Special Creation · All the World's Evils (Red)】
