Chapter 399: Outer God Founder
Squelch!
Blood shot into the sky; the headless body still stiffened in place.
[Cloud Lark] was splattered with blood all over. But his Cosmo began to weaken, and he was almost entering a dying state due to the shockwaves of the battle between Mob and Saitama. He didn't realize what happened at all.
It was just that the large hand pinching his neck, almost strangling him directly, lost its strength. Staggering a few steps and landing on the other side, he then saw what happened.
That Mercenary Tao... his head was exploded directly?!
He looked to the other side. The huge black human figure still maintained the posture of reaching out towards Mercenary Tao.
Undoubtedly, [Spirit World Evil Lord] · Mob attacked Mercenary Tao!
But... why?
Cloud Lark's mind was chaotic. Before he could sort out his thoughts, a huge force hit him, throwing him directly out of the Spirit World.
Disgusting granulation sprouted constantly above Kaito Shirogane's neck. Because of the characteristics of [Intermediate Immortality] and [Perfect Organism], he no longer had the concept of vital points.
Heart and head were just two parts that could cause the greatest impact on his bodily functions. Losing the head would make him unable to think; losing the heart would make his body lose blood supply, causing functions to decline significantly.
That was all.
This couldn't kill him thoroughly.
In the pure white Sea of Consciousness, Kaito opened his eyes. Because he lost his head, his consciousness returned here.
"Yo, seems our host encountered a strong enemy again."
Gojo Satoru teased Kaito. Kaito sat high on the [Throne of the Heart], overlooking the empty Sea of Consciousness below. The Yellow Spring surged, but those tens of thousands of Yin Spirits hadn't returned completely. At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was very empty...
Hum~
Suddenly, the Sea of Consciousness vibrated violently. White light appeared above the Sea of Consciousness. That light submerged everything in an instant.
It was the first time Gojo Satoru saw such a thing in this space. This was even more special than that guy claiming to be Roland back then.
Kaito sat upright on the Throne of the Heart. He looked up, having the answer in his heart the moment he saw the white light.
The white light became more intense, seemingly submerging everything. In the next moment, a huge figure lowered its head as if from outside the world. A huge crimson single eye stood erect above the Sea of Consciousness.
Thousands of weak Yin Spirits below immediately screamed, their figures collapsing and condensing again repeatedly in the Yellow Spring.
"Heh, still playing tricks. Seems Lord Inari Okami is in a good mood?"
[You completed the mission · Power of God]
[You unlocked Special Hidden Faction · Outer God's Aberrant Residence]
[You successfully guided an Outer God to descend into this world. Gained massive reputation in Faction · Outer God's Aberrant Residence. Current: Revered (34/100)]
[You unlocked the Reputation Exchange function of Faction · Outer God's Aberrant Residence]
The huge eye blinked twice. Then, grand power echoed in the Sea of Consciousness along with a voice.
"You desire power."
"I can grant you... power."
There was an inexplicable meaning in the voice, just like the [Cursed Seal · Strike of Inari] initially contained power that made people suffer inexplicable malice.
This guy called 'Inari Okami' by Kaito was probably absolutely not such a purely benevolent god in true form.
In many cultural systems, gods usually had two sides, possessing both the image of a benevolent god and the image of a malevolent god simultaneously, distinguished from each other and enjoying sacrifices separately.
But actually, the two were one entity.
Without waiting for Kaito's objection, intense power of God began to pour into this space.
Kaito didn't stop it either. He just quietly overlooked this scene, the smile at the corner of his mouth obvious.
"Does Lord Outer God think He can rest easy now?"
"It's a pity that in this world, gods have never been supreme things. Since you can revive from the altar, aren't you curious why gods need to prepare that kind of altar for resurrection?"
Pure white energy stopped pouring in.
Specks of white light condensed. In the next moment, a mature 'fox woman' image appeared, draped in white light gauze, with pink-white hair dragging below her waist, and two ears protruding from between her hair.
Far more mature than that Fox Divine Messenger before, emitting seductive power all over.
But Kaito just clicked his tongue, showing no reaction.
"What do you want, human?"
This god, who successfully used a wisp of divine thought from a world where mystery almost dissipated to make Kaito let Him descend into this world, was indeed in a good mood.
He could forgive the small betrayal of this human leaving directly at the end of the ritual.
After all, the departure of that powerful human competing with Him for the power of God also had the cause and effect of the human before Him.
Kaito saw an illusory book unfold before his eyes.
This was the so-called Reputation Exchange Item Manual of the Special Hidden Faction [Outer God's Aberrant Residence].
The flow of time in the Sea of Consciousness was extremely different from the outside world. Kaito wasn't afraid that being here would let him be killed directly by Mob.
First, he was indeed hard to kill. Mob's most convenient method was to seal him.
Second, and the most important reason: Saitama wouldn't let Mob kill him in front of him.
Saitama was a pure classical hero. No matter how bad his compatibility and concepts were with Kaito, as long as Kaito was currently a human on the order and hero side, he wouldn't die!
Kaito lowered his head and quickly browsed the exchange items. The items [Outer God's Aberrant Residence] could provide were indeed far incomparable to those provided by Shinto people.
Kaito's mind was clear. His eyes moved, quickly sorting out the current pros and cons.
Soon, he found one of the items. Raising his head, he looked at this fox Outer God.
"I want to sit in this position of [Founder]~"
[Fate Eternal] pulled casually. Windows, doors, walls, and the building collapsed together with a boom.
Reincarnators arguing below just now and ordinary people in nearby blocks fell silent in an instant.
He didn't use much strength. He knew early on that this building had reached the limit of its 'lifespan' due to prolonged erosion by wind and sand.
Choosing this place was just a coincidence. Destroying this building now was also following the natural course.
The title [Fate Eternal] could be called the most weird and mysterious one among mental-type Supreme Powerhouse titles. Similarly, few people could control it well.
At least, [Fate Eternal] knew that the previous [Supreme Powerhouse] holding this title didn't do well; otherwise, how could he be assassinated by him in the Native World?
"Your Majesty, Saitama really..."
[Treant] appeared from the ruins. That weird blood in his bloodline broke out of his body directly, like energy tentacles, rapidly clearing nearby obstacles.
Heroes running from the distance were also pierced by him casually.
But he still frowned. The name Saitama was simply too terrifying.
Fate Eternal just smiled. But in the next moment, his smile slowly converged.
He felt the space trembling unstablely. Something seemed to be surging towards him under the space.
Hum!
Hum!
Hum!
Blazing white lights suddenly lit up one by one from the ruins...
