Chapter 569: The King of Knights' Belief
In the Space, besides the [Supreme Beings] standing at the pinnacle of various domains and practically controlling various authorities almost like deities, there also existed beings crowned with the title of [King].
Kaito Shirogane naturally knew this point.
Of the so-called [Top Three Kings], he had already met two.
The [King of Miracles], master of the top-tier assembly [Azure Sky], rumored to be an extreme idealist, maintaining the order of the real world single-handedly.
Making it so that all Reincarnators above the [Fierce] tier couldn't release abilities at will in the real world.
The current Kaito Shirogane was similarly restricted.
The [King of Souls], master of the top-tier assembly [Throne of Illusion and Reality], suspected to be the story character Sosuke Aizen.
There was very little intelligence in the Space at all.
The most special piece of intelligence Kaito Shirogane collected was that in the Infinite Dimensional Space, the frequency of the [Bleach] world appearing was extremely low.
Moreover, most channels to enter that world were controlled by the [Throne of Illusion and Reality]. Most Reincarnators who underwent Shinigami strengthening, Fullbringer strengthening, or even Quincy strengthening were in the [Throne of Illusion and Reality].
Unless the other party was truly Sosuke Aizen, Kaito Shirogane couldn't think of a reason to do this.
Although the Bleach world could indeed be considered to have good strengthening channels and potential, it wasn't as if there were no other worlds of the same type. Worlds like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and so on, actually had higher potential.
As for the last [Top King], Kaito Shirogane only needed to use a little bit of wisdom to figure it out.
It must be the leader of another top-tier assembly, [Mandate of Heaven].
[Cards], the special items that directly introduced Kaito Shirogane into the Space, were the handiwork of the [Top Three Kings].
White Mask's intelligence was much more comprehensive than the [Professor]'s back then.
Besides the twenty-six [Tarot Sequences] corresponding to the Chosen Ones, which were already known, there was the [Destiny Sequence] controlled by White Mask, totaling twelve cards, which some also believed corresponded to the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
The number twelve also has many interpretations in occultism.
White Mask's card face was [Destiny · Linguan], possessing the special effect of reading destiny and seizing destiny.
In every mission world, White Mask could use this card face to find story characters possessing special destinies, and she could replace the other party's existence by carrying out this destiny.
Simply put, White Mask could identify some story characters possessing special characteristics. She could take their place, but correspondingly, she had to bear the destiny that character faced.
This ability was quite troublesome to execute, requiring sufficient understanding and meticulous excavation of various characters.
But once successful, it was equivalent to White Mask naturally being able to gain a huge advantage in almost every world. She could inherently seize the support of some story factions.
This was the foundation for White Mask being able to wantonly toy with other Reincarnators in various mission worlds.
The remaining [Cards] were naturally the seven [Scarlet Great Sins] and eight [Pure White Virtues] corresponding to people with special anomalies.
According to White Mask's intelligence, the [Awakening Trials] for these two types of cards were the most special, and relatively speaking, much more difficult than the preceding trials.
Considered trials that only anomalies could complete.
Kaito Shirogane recalled his first mission, that [Sin and Karma] trial in the Dragon Ball world. It indeed required the Reincarnator to be extremely agile in reaction, not allowing any hesitation.
At the same time, it also required the Reincarnator to possess strong strength or be able to quickly accumulate favorability with story characters.
Lacking in any aspect would highly likely result in a bleak ending.
At this time, White Mask sat on Mercenary Tao's lap. She slumped almost weakly, but still forcefully propped up her spirit so as not to completely collapse.
Even as a spirit body, she found it hard to imagine what Mercenary Tao would do to her.
Compared to that kind of thing, handing this intelligence over to the other party was no longer anything.
"Rumor has it that those three Kings, after creating so many [Cards], actually kept the three most special, most mysterious [Cards]."
"Held by the three of them themselves, whereabouts unknown, card faces unknown, abilities unknown."
Most top-tier assemblies and teams in the Space chased after [Cards] exactly to find those three unknown [Top Cards]!
Many believed they contained the stairway above the Supreme Beings!
Kaito Shirogane caressed White Mask's collarbone, his thinking shifting rapidly. After the development of Magnetic Field Rotation, his brain was exceptionally active, and his thinking ability was far superior to Reincarnators with the same attributes.
The three most mysterious cards kept by the Top Three Kings...
Directly guessing the card face is completely meaningless, because without standing above their level of power, there is no way to judge what effects they might have.
But another aspect of the question is actually more direct.
Why did the Top Three Kings create so many [Cards]!
Could it be that those three people really found it too boring to watch so many Reincarnators in the Space, so they deliberately created some special sequences to let Reincarnators compete and kill each other?
There is this possibility, but extremely small.
With Kaito Shirogane's current mode of thinking, he finds it hard to imagine anyone doing something completely without any purpose.
Even the purest idealists must have an "altruistic" purpose in doing things.
For example, making Reincarnators stronger, making good people stronger, making order more stable...
The existence of these cards can always reflect the original intentions of those three Kings.
But whether it's the so-called Tarot Sequence, the Destiny Sequence, or the Anomaly Sequence, Kaito Shirogane only sees that they correspond to three types of people with different traits.
But even if these three types of people possess extraordinary talent and can quickly grow using the cards,
Reaching Kaito Shirogane's current level, the impact is actually no longer that great.
After the Second Ladder, Reincarnators begin to pursue the power of [Authority]. Even the attribute advantage obtained by a Scarlet Great Sin is often offset by the "mechanisms" of various authorities.
Therefore, these [Cards] do not exist to strengthen Reincarnators.
These [Cards] exist to select Reincarnators!
From this angle, could the so-called [Top Cards] also correspond to people possessing a certain trait?
Are they the "identifiers" deliberately left behind by those three to find Reincarnators possessing that trait?
Kaito Shirogane had a strong premonition that he had already found the crux of the matter.
The only question is, what exactly is that trait that can be favored by the Top Three Kings...
And what exactly is the purpose of those three people looking for Reincarnators possessing that trait...
Reincarnators are not sect disciples in cultivation novels, and the Top Three Kings are not some great seniors looking for successors.
Between Reincarnators, there is always a naked relationship of interests.
Exactly what kind of people are worth these three searching for...
Kaito Shirogane was very curious.
White Mask unconsciously lay prone on Kaito Shirogane. Having obtained the information, Kaito Shirogane had no interest in continuing to play.
With a casual toss, White Mask fell from the Throne of the Heart, directly plunging into the Yellow Springs.
Below, Gilgamesh, who hadn't condensed into form for a long time because his [Wall of the Heart] was shattered, was similarly flowing in the Yellow Springs.
Kaito Shirogane raised a finger, his signature cruel smile revealing at the corners of his mouth.
"Perhaps, I should host a [Throne of the Heart Cup World Martial Arts Tournament], letting you all slaughter to your hearts' content."
"Then, the strongest will bathe in [All the Evils in This World] and be resurrected..."
As his voice fell, Gojo Satoru below almost instantly felt the spiritual power, cursed energy, and resentful energy in the space rising rapidly.
Woo!
A twisted screech erupted. A pitch-black tide of spirit bodies erupted in an instant, sweeping towards everyone indiscriminately.
Even spirit bodies like Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara, who had long established their powerful positions through combat in the past, were similarly swept in.
These Yin Spirits, tortured almost to madness by the word "resurrection," were about to set off a fierce battle that would make this Sea of Consciousness churn!
Artoria looked up and saw the black tide hundreds of meters high sweeping over. That was the "Sea of Evil" formed by the convergence of countless Yin Spirits.
The Heroic Spirit in a blue dress and silver armor took a step forward, gripping her sword with both hands, intense belief bursting forth from her body.
Kaito Shirogane, who was about to leave, paused his figure. Looking back at that dazzling golden sword light, he revealed a greedy and terrifying smile.
