Chapter 481: Deathmatch Mission Start · Savior of Evil Men
[Light of the Heart · Lost Requiem (Manifestation 21%) — Recession; Loss]
"This is..."
Kaito Shirogane looked at this description. [Lost Requiem] was probably the name of this Light of the Heart. The [Recession] and [Loss] marked behind were highly likely the ability traits exhibited by this Light of the Heart.
It somewhat matched Li Qingzi's description of being disabled from using abilities and losing attribute enhancements. Perhaps it wasn't disabling abilities, but making Li Qingzi lose her Haki ability.
"This is a Light of the Heart that hasn't fully manifested yet, but it indeed contains quite powerful force. I can feel it; that is a delicate and paranoid heart."
When the Rider Girl said this, she didn't look at Kaito. She felt that the true owner of this Light of the Heart was highly likely not the Reincarnator before her.
Even without the Light of the Heart, she could feel that the Reincarnator before her was powerful and resolute, completely unlike a person who would brew such a "defensive" Light of the Heart.
"You haven't stepped into the Third Ladder yet, right, Reincarnator? Although I don't know how you came into contact with this power, at this stage, it is still a bit too early for you."
As the Rider Girl's figure became mature, her voice and demeanor also changed accordingly. Just like an elder guiding a junior, her words naturally carried a condescending flavor.
Kaito remembered the Space's previous prompt. It was indeed because he hadn't entered the Third Ladder yet that the awakening of the Light of the Heart was terminated, ultimately only prompting him that he had touched the Light of the Heart.
The true owner of this Light of the Heart named [Lost Requiem] was indeed not himself, but Li Qingzi.
Li Qingzi exhibited that kind of trait, but didn't trigger the Light of the Heart. Kaito speculated that on the one hand, Li Qingzi similarly hadn't crossed the Third Ladder and lacked the foundation; on the other hand, her soul or attributes weren't powerful enough, whereas he had already met the requirements in this aspect.
Kaito managed to ask for other information about the [Light of the Heart]. The Rider Girl simply told Kaito that the [Light of the Heart] is the power of the Fourth Ladder of the Stairway to God, and is the true power belonging to any independent individual.
It will not be affected by any authority. In the power system constructed by the [Observer] and the [Narrator], it is the only power that eternally belongs to oneself.
This gave Kaito many more speculations about the true power system of this world.
Because he had previously come into contact with the information named [Observer] from the Multi-Faced Aliens. The Multi-Faced Aliens claimed they were a high-dimensional race growing into [Observers], and the humans of the multiverse were nothing but subjects of observation.
And the Infinite Dimensional Space was identified by the Multi-Faced Aliens as an [Observer].
The Rider Girl mentioned that the power system of this world was constructed by the [Observer] and the [Narrator], and it was obvious that this power system would be affected by these high-dimensional existences.
Just like Reincarnators. Kaito could now be considered quite powerful, but the Space could still directly obliterate him. Most of his abilities were directly obtained through the [Information] of the Space.
With this cognition, Kaito thirsted for the [Light of the Heart] even more.
A moment later, the calmed Kaito spoke with a normal expression to the Rider Girl, who had also returned to her petite figure.
"I want to start the Title Mission for [Savior of Evil Men]."
The Rider Girl revealed an energetic smile again. She appreciated this junior climbing the Stairway to God before her. The other party had an indomitable pursuit of power.
"Have you prepared the tribute for Lord Goddess?"
[Title · Savior of Evil Men (Unparalleled Rare): After spending B-Class Singularity + 10000 Dimensional Points, the mission can be triggered when holding the Villain and Savior milestones. After equipping, you will obtain a unique ability] (Note: After this mission starts, the Space will open a special battlefield and conscript eligible Reincarnators for a deathmatch. The difficulty is extremely high, and it cannot be started with a rating below Strong)
Kaito nodded. He stretched out his right hand.
*[You lost B-Class Singularity 1, you lost Dimensional Points 10000]
[You started Title Mission · Savior of Evil Men (Unparalleled Rare)]
[Generating Special Deathmatch Mission World...]
[Generating...]
[Deathmatch World A993 has been generated]
[Screening eligible Reincarnators...]
[Screening Complete]
[Deployment is about to begin...]
Kaito stood in place. Although he didn't expect it to be in this form, specially generating a mission world for deployment, to him, it didn't matter much.
He started this mission now, on the one hand for the title reward, and on the other hand, because of the nature of this mission—Deathmatch!
This was a mission where one could kill opponents, completely different from the Title Contention Tournaments held by the Space later.
Kaito was seeking more resources.
Because of the previous large-scale strengthening, he was now quite lacking in resources. Moreover, to strengthen the S+ level Kaioken at the Goddess's place, the consumed resources were completely immeasurable.
It was rare that he now possessed the [Cleaner Authority]. He would seize every opportunity to enter more mission worlds.
[Deployment Begins!]
Amidst his thoughts, his body had already turned into a stream of information. Senses and thoughts disappeared in an instant.
...
The shrill chirping of cicadas seemed to pierce the eardrums, and the intense sunlight seemed to roast the earth.
Kaito opened his eyes and saw that this was an apparently completely abandoned city.
He stood on the roof of a pitch-black building. The sunlight shone directly, and the temperature was probably close to fifty degrees Celsius.
Within a radius of over ten kilometers, there were absolutely no signs of life. Dead silence was everywhere.
In the shadows of the city, moss crawled all over the walls. The streets were full of rusty car remains.
This steel-jungle-like metropolis was probably intercepted directly from a certain mission world by the Space. It looked quite intact, just without humans.
In the next moment, in Kaito's Mantra, he suddenly perceived 7 figures appearing in various parts of the city.
[Mission Start]
[Deathmatch Mission · Title Contention]
[Mission Objective: Kill all opponents to achieve victory]
[Mission Reward: Title · Savior of Evil Men]
[Note: No milestone rewards can be obtained in this world]
The instant the prompts appeared on the panel, Kaito had already taken a step. Blazing white air waves erupted from behind him.
Boom!
In the sky, white sonic boom clouds exploded constantly. Kaito, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced the air, flew a distance of three kilometers, and like a cannonball, crashed directly into that pitch-black building.
The person closest to him appeared right here.
Rumble!
The instant the wall shattered, Kaito's excellent dynamic vision saw the degree of pupil contraction of the Reincarnator inside the wall. The other party reacted very fast, his hands instantly drawing the scarlet tachi at his waist, lifting the blade to slash.
Pfft!
Kaito's figure directly crashed through the building, smashing into the ground from the other side with a thud.
The instant he landed, Kaito's figure bent. With a weirdly harmonious movement, he perfectly dissolved the terrifying impact force into the ground.
The stone slab ground rolled up towards the surroundings like waves, while the stone slabs flew into the sky.
A head was held in Kaito's hand.
[You killed Reincarnator ER56100343. Deathmatch mission progress updated. Remaining targets: 7]
Kaito looked at the prompt, realizing someone had evaded his Mantra's search.
The corner of his mouth hooked up. Interesting.
A Scarlet Drop Card condensed in front of him. He put away the Scarlet Drop Card, flew into the air with another bang, stepped consecutively dozens of times in the air, turned mid-air, and flew towards the next target at extreme speed.
And at this time, the others also realized a battle had already occurred. They all displayed their abilities and began to gather information. In the next moment, someone's face had already changed drastically.
"Damn it, it's Mercenary Tao!"
