Chapter 388: Heracles · Cloud Lark
"Mr. Cloud Lark, don't show such an incredulous look."
[Charanko] stood in the air, messy blonde hair flying wantonly, giving him an extremely different demeanor.
He lowered his eyelids, looking at [Cloud Lark] who was falling from the air with a large amount of blood spilling, and said:
"You were willing to save me only because you thought I was weak..."
"Even after I received God's bestowal, you still think I'm not as strong as you, don't you?"
Cloud Lark clutched his chest. His internal organs were scorched, making his consciousness blur rapidly. But under the concentration of Cosmo, his brain became increasingly active, and intense mental power forcibly stabilized his consciousness.
Blood was still gushing from his nose and mouth. That previously kind but humble Charanko was becoming unrecognizable in his heart bit by bit.
Charanko spread his hands, watching Mercenary Tao on the other side getting up quickly after falling to the ground and grabbing the guy whose head was just exploded again. He felt increasingly unhappy.
Even obtaining the power of God, neither Cloud Lark nor his teacher actually recognized him.
They didn't acknowledge his strength. It seemed in their eyes, no matter how he changed, he was still that weak self.
Clearly, he was now strong enough to destroy a city...
Thump, thump, thump.
In the desert, Mercenary Tao, carrying [Sage], walked on the sand. With every step, he would slide dozens of meters. In this peculiar way of moving, he arrived not far from Cloud Lark.
This powerful Reincarnator who mastered Cosmo was trying to stabilize his injuries.
"Allies of justice always fall in places like this, don't they?"
His smile was cruel, his tone playful.
All these guys who called themselves 'justice' were always subject to many extra shackles.
So the question came: Could a person subject to so many shackles still be called [Powerful]?
Kaito Shirogane shook his head. In his cognition, such people could absolutely not be called powerful.
Hum~
A white beam shot over instantly. Kaito slid sideways leisurely. Sand exploded; this kind of long-range attack wasn't very effective against Kaito.
Charanko also landed on the ground again.
In the distance, that colorful space appeared again at this moment. Obviously, the Spirit World was expanding. That [Spirit World Evil Lord] came here pursuing something unknown. Even two powerful martial artists of this world couldn't stop the opponent.
While Kaito was pondering, Charanko frowned, looking at Sage occupying one of Kaito's arms.
His figure moved slightly; white light carried a weird rhythm. He lowered his body in an instant, and in the next moment, appeared in front of Kaito like a jump-cut animation.
White energy exploded behind him.
Charanko's speed in this state was already close to Kaito with the Fifth Turn of [Setsuna] activated.
Kaito opened the [All-Seeing Eyes of God]. One hand blocked Charanko's arm instantly, slashing downward to disperse the opponent's fist force, and pulled away again.
Charanko thought he found Mercenary Tao's weakness. Looking at Sage still held tightly in hand under this situation, a surge of malice suddenly arose in his heart.
In just an instant, he moved his feet like a shadow, his right fist piercing the air to strike at Sage's head.
[Sage] Yu Huaxin only felt the air in front of him become incomparably sticky in an instant. With his current physique, he actually had difficulty breathing. Having lost that powerful physique close to a [Saint], his heart and lungs couldn't breathe such sticky air.
Bang!
A fist smashed his head to pieces with a speed he couldn't capture at all.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Kaito stopped, looking at the headless corpse in his hand. From the clothes, it was probably an office worker.
He threw it away uninterestingly and captured the appearing Sage in the air again.
Just about to chase, Charanko had turned into a white light, piercing through Sage in the air.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
"How about it, Mercenary Tao? Facing the current me, even a guy like you can't protect him..."
"This is... the power of God!"
"Even resurrecting countless times is useless against me who possesses infinite power!"
Charanko seemed to be venting his anger of being ignored by several people before. With white light bullets filling the sky and white trails erupted by super-high-speed movement, he killed Sage hundreds of times in an instant.
Yu Huaxin fell into complete panic at this moment. Damn it, this guy is too fast! Killing me too fast!
His consciousness also began to become incoherent. Basically, every time he resurrected, he would be killed again after only appearing for a few hundredths of a second.
Constantly in cognitive distortion, he couldn't even defend himself.
Kaito stood in place. His body, with cell activity fully awakened in the [Setsuna] state, maintained a motionless posture weirdly.
Touching his chin, watching Charanko 'diligently' killing Sage constantly in the sky, he pondered whether this subtle misunderstanding needed to be cleared up.
"That guy's ability is substituting death?!"
A voice appeared in Kaito's ears out of thin air. He turned his head and saw Cloud Lark, whose nose and mouth were completely submerged in blood and whose condition looked incomparably miserable, looking at him.
A layer of glow seemed to wrap his body.
Kaito frowned. Cloud Lark in this state gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Heh, to kill this guy, probably need to repeat this operation hundreds of thousands of times. But with Charanko's efficiency, I think it shouldn't be too slow."
Cloud Lark frowned deeply. He struggled to get up, watching the mutilated corpses falling everywhere like rain in the sky. Every time Charanko killed that man, the corpse would turn into a completely unfamiliar object.
Men, women, old, young—all kinds.
Obviously, this was a powerful [Substitute Death] ability. One's death could be transferred to others.
That meant, in just this moment, Charanko had actually killed hundreds of people?!
Supported by a strongly burning Cosmo, Cloud Lark's bodily functions were rapidly awakened. He stood up, just about to make a move, but a tall figure had appeared in front of him.
Kaito looked down at this Reincarnator who theoretically should be heavily injured and dying. The opponent emitted a strong sense of presence at this moment. In Kaito's [Mantra], the opponent was like a blazing torch.
"Mercenary Tao, do you plan to use this method of killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of humans to kill that guy?!"
Kaito nodded as a matter of course.
"Very convenient, isn't it..."
"Perhaps you don't know, I killed an Ajin before. Relatively speaking, this guy is already very easy to kill~"
Cloud Lark exhaled turbid air. He felt unable to have any effective communication with Mercenary Tao. Although the two probably belonged to the [Hero] faction at this moment, a person like Mercenary Tao definitely had nothing to do with heroes.
He suddenly spread his hands, one up and one down, one left and one right, slowly stroking. His body also bent slightly. Because one arm was broken from the elbow, the posture looked quite strange.
Behind the opponent, Kaito saw light points condensing Cosmo lighting up one by one, instantly turning into the shape of a constellation.
This guy...
Clearly, the opponent's Cosmo level was even higher than he imagined. He actually comprehended the move of a certain [Constellation]. This almost represented that the opponent possessed the qualification to truly wear a Cloth and become a Saint.
Watching this ability, the smile on Kaito's face couldn't be contained. He also spread his hands, swinging slightly up and down.
[Setsuna] climbed to the Seventh Turn in an instant. This was the extreme speed he could control currently. Forcibly activating the Eighth Turn, he wouldn't even be able to complete [Shungokusatsu].
The Satsui no Hado that seemed to disappear before surged out from Kaito's body at this moment. In an instant, heaven and earth turned suddenly black.
