Chapter 190

Su Xiao collected the three treasure chests. Many notifications had appeared from the Reincarnation Paradise earlier, but he hadn't looked at them because he was fighting Annie; only now did he have time to check.

【You killed 'Reiner Braun' (Inheritor of the Armored Titan), gaining 4.2% of World Source. You have now gained a total of 20.6% of World Source.】

【You killed 'Bertholdt' (Inheritor of the Colossal Titan), gaining 4.1% of World Source. You have now gained a total of 24.8% of World Source.】

【You killed 'Eren Yeager' (Inheritor of the Attack and Founding Titans), gaining 9.6% of World Source. You have now gained a total of 34.4% of World Source.】

【You killed 'Ymir' (Inheritor of the Jaw Titan), gaining 4.9% of World Source. You have now gained a total of 38.9% of World Source.】

【Because more than half of the 'Inheritors of Titan Power' were killed simultaneously, a phenomenon of mixed Titan power has appeared.】

【Founding Titan (Initial) is resurrecting..., drip..., no suitable carrier found, Titan power is collapsing.】

【Warning: The rules of the Titan World are collapsing.】

【Warning: The rules of the Titan World are collapsing.】

【Warning: The rules of the Titan World are collapsing.】

【This derived world will undergo a time reset. Timeline is resetting.】

【Derived world is collapsing. Hunter, please evacuate as soon as possible.】

This series of notifications made Su Xiao feel somewhat astonished; he had the feeling that he had broken the Titan World.

Boom!

A earth-shattering roar came from behind him. Su Xiao looked toward the rear and could vaguely see large amounts of building debris shooting into the sky.

"Is that... the world inside the walls?"

Crackle, crackle.

The ground under Su Xiao's feet began to crack, and the surrounding grass and trees withered rapidly.

In less than five minutes, the grassland where Su Xiao was located had turned into a desert.

Yellow filled the sky, the heavens were pitch black, muffled thunder rumbled, and terrifying bolts of lightning flashed through the dark clouds.

Whoosh~.

A fireball streaked rapidly through the sky, dragging a long tail of flame as it crashed into the earth with a boom.

The island where the world inside the walls was located shattered into several pieces instantly, and seawater overflowed from the gaps in the island.

"Is this a world reset? Why does it feel like the end of the world?"

Su Xiao felt the earth beneath his feet shaking incessantly. Fortunately, he had already completed the return mission and could return at any time. He prepared to see what would happen to the Titan World.

Crack, crack, crack...

Large cracks suddenly spread across the sky. Su Xiao looked up.

At this moment, a magic circle composed of spatial rifts appeared in the sky of the Titan World. The entire magic circle was boundless; perhaps this magic circle covered the entire Titan World.

【Warning: Space-time power is about to invade. Hunter must evacuate immediately. The survival probability of the Hunter under the invasion of space-time power is 0%.】

After receiving the notification from the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao stopped looking around; escaping was the priority now.

"Return."

A force of space enveloped Su Xiao. This familiar feeling made him subconsciously cover the back of his head.

Bang.

Su Xiao cursed "Damn it!" in his heart as his consciousness fell into a stupor.

The Reincarnation Paradise even has the ability to destroy worlds; couldn't it change its method of teleportation?

Su Xiao was filled with resentment in his hazy state. When his consciousness recovered, he was already in his exclusive space; he had returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.

【Teleportation complete. Hunter has returned to the exclusive room.】

【The exclusive room is an absolutely safe point; no one can enter without the Hunter's permission.】

【Hunter has returned to the Reincarnation Paradise. Starting to calculate rewards for the derived world.】

After checking all the various rewards, Su Xiao stood up and walked to the bed, collapsing onto it. Ten seconds later, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the Titan World, Su Xiao could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. Although he hadn't encountered any terrifyingly powerful enemies, he had burned through many brain cells.

The Titan World was a world for Su Xiao to familiarize himself with battlefield missions. The time limits for the missions were not counted, and the map was so large it made one want to vomit blood.

What was even more frustrating was that there were very few missions to be received in the Titan World. Aside from the two missions issued by the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao hadn't discovered any other missions.

Except for the royal family within the walls, he had come into contact with all the other important characters, and the plot's protagonist had been like a pendant, never really leaving his side throughout the whole journey.

But even so, he still hadn't received any missions, which showed just how many missions there were in the Titan World.

Even in such a frustrating derived world, Su Xiao had played it in a new way.

Su Xiao's plan was to unite with Reiner and the others to head to the Ma Lai Empire. Even if they couldn't reach the Ma Lai Empire, they would pass by the basement of Eren's house along the way.

Even if there was nothing to be gained in Eren's basement, Su Xiao could still kill the several inheritors of Titan power he had lured out of the city.

He had gathered six of the nine types of Titan power, which showed just how many brain cells he had burned.

Ten hours later, Su Xiao woke up slowly. A strong sense of hunger hit him. After washing up, a refreshed Su Xiao left his exclusive space.

In a restaurant opened by a staff member.

The restaurant was not large, with only three dining tables, but it was decorated very warmly, and the overall warm color scheme gave people a sense of relaxation.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

A cook in her twenties walked out from the kitchen, carrying several plates of carefully prepared food in her hands.

The cook's figure wasn't tall, but she had a nice build, and although she wasn't beautiful, she gave people a feeling that the more you looked at her, the more pleasing she became.

The cook's name was Xia, just a single character. Su Xiao's meals within the Reincarnation Paradise were all taken care of in this restaurant.

"Just came out of a derived world? You're covered in the smell of blood."

Xia sat opposite Su Xiao, resting her chin on her hands.

Su Xiao had patronized this place many times, so the two were considered acquaintances.

"Yeah, the derived world collapsed, so I came out early."

Su Xiao picked up a piece of bacon and chewed it in his mouth. Xia's cooking skills were superb, but because the location of the shop was remote, there weren't many customers here, which was exactly why Su Xiao came here often.

"Collapsed? How could a derived world collapse? What on earth did you do in the derived world?"

Xia looked at Su Xiao with a face full of surprise.

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have asked about things inside the derived world."

Xia showed an apologetic expression; asking about a contractor's actions within a derived world was a major taboo.

"I killed many important characters. I was also quite surprised that the derived world collapsed."

Su Xiao brought a bowl of Zha Jiang Mian in front of him, and Xia began to recount her experiences in the derived world.

"Let me tell you, the Ghouls in the Ghoul World are all monsters. If you go there, you can't be careless. I almost got eaten by an A-rank Ghoul when I entered the Ghoul World last time. Those guys are inhumanly powerful."

Xia showed an expression of lingering fear.

"Is that so? Thanks for the reminder."

Su Xiao thought to himself that he might not be able to enter the Ghoul World again; it had already been cleared out by him.

After finishing the food on the table, Su Xiao lit a cigarette and signaled for the bill.

"16 Paradise Coins in total. Let's just make it 15 Paradise Coins; you're a regular customer."

Su Xiao traded 20 Paradise Coins to Xia. Although the other party was a bit of a chatterbox, she had a very kind heart.

"This..."

Xia wanted to decline, but Su Xiao leaned back in his chair and waved his hand.

Just at this moment, the restaurant door was pushed open, and a contractor in a crisp suit walked into the restaurant.

This contractor's pace was steady; he was about twenty years old and wore a calm and composed smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Ye. My name is Karl. I have something to discuss with you."

Karl sat in the chair opposite Su Xiao, fiddling with a deck of tarot cards in his hand.

Karl's strength was not weak. Su Xiao rarely felt pressure from contractors, but this Karl gave him a feeling of being someone not to be trifled with.

"What is it?"

Su Xiao's brows were tightly knit; the other party not only knew his alias but also knew his location.

"I want to invite you to join the 'Phantom Troupe'. Don't refuse just yet; the rules of the Troupe are different from ordinary adventure groups.

The Troupe has at most thirteen members, and the thirteen members don't enter the same world every time they experience a derived world.

Moreover, there is no superior-subordinate relationship in the Troupe, only thirteen numbers. The smaller the number, the stronger the strength. You don't have to listen to anyone's command because the Troupe doesn't have a leader position at all.

Even if you have a grudge against a companion in the Troupe one day, as long as you declare war on the other party before making a move, others won't stop you; we'll just watch the show."

After listening to Karl's introduction, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. He felt somewhat familiar with this Phantom Troupe.

"That's right, it's similar to the Phantom Troupe in the Hunter World. That Troupe is the inspiration for our prototype, but compared to the Troupe in the Hunter World, our Troupe is much more relaxed. Gathering a group of monsters together is a pretty good idea."

Karl smiled even more happily.

Su Xiao pondered for a while, considering the truth of the other party's words.

"Why invite me to join?"

"Because your strength is sufficient. The Troupe will share some intelligence, and you can also enjoy the skills of an adventure group.

However..., although you were able to kill and repel the Bian Hua Adventure Group alone, this doesn't mean you can join us directly. Come with me to the arena to fight once and determine your ranking; after that, the Troupe welcomes you to join."

Karl stopped talking, waiting for Su Xiao's response.

"I'll consider it and give you an answer within three days."
