This was one of the very few purple quality items Kaito Shirogane had seen that possessed four precious attributes, and it was also an extremely rare Unparalleled Rare quality set item.
The Crown of the Outer God condensed above the Throne of the Heart. Kaito felt enveloped by a grand will in an instant.
This feeling was quite familiar to Kaito. He was already quite accustomed to unfamiliar wills entering his body.
But unlike the 'cramped' feeling when Yin Spirits like Roland, Gojo Satoru, and Uchiha Madara competed for his body before, the so-called Divine Will was high above. It didn't squeeze into the Throne of the Heart, but he could feel that lofty will hanging over his head.
Kaito almost couldn't help but want to look up and see how the so-called [Great Will] differed from himself and other Yin Spirits.
But in the next moment, the grand vision made him ignore everything. If not for the experience of often fighting with tens of thousands of Yin Spirits for the body, Kaito might have been directly drowned in the will of countless living beings at this moment.
At this moment, he only felt his vision was infinitely high. The horizon began to curve in his eyes. The breath and will of countless living beings were like scattered wildfires, rising weakly on the ground.
He only needed to gaze down to sense those tiny wills.
Weak humans had no resistance against his will.
And under this perspective, Kaito saw more and more clearly what kind of creature the so-called [Human] was.
Under that incredibly frail will, countless 'emotions' were wrapped. New desires were generated almost every moment. In lives entangled by emotions and desires, the cold light of rationality would occasionally shine through.
In almost an instant, Kaito captured the few strongest individuals within a thousand miles. His will swept past the Spirit World, seeing that the punching man merely moved his eyes, and he felt cold all over.
In the next moment, on the outskirts of Z-City, he saw familiar figures.
Lives were extinguished near him, giving birth to the will to survive.
Many people had no intuitive need for power, simply because they knew their weakness and hadn't encountered scenarios requiring power.
But when the whole family, old and young, were pressed under mud and houses, that desire could not be suppressed.
Kaito lifted these tiny living beings, wearing the golden crown twisted and entangled like two ouroboros on his head, and asked:
"Do you want power?"
...
Hum!
White energy gathered violently. [Treant] was horrified. In just a breath, hundreds of blazing white energy bullets appeared around him.
Each energy bullet was about the limit range a Strong-tier caster could release, and they were still increasing constantly.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
The ground exploded one after another. Figures shrouded in white light emerged from the ruins one by one. The wounds on these people were healing, and each figure was accompanied by intense divine power.
"God?!"
Treant realized instantly who the attacker was, but he still didn't understand why a God would seek him out.
Several white light bullets with erratic trajectories immediately shrouded Treant's surroundings.
Treant had a special bloodline and possessed extremely strong resistance to energy. At this time, the emerald green solidified blood wrapped around his body suddenly churned.
In the next moment, accompanied by a literal 'storm of blood,' Treant turned into a whirlwind instantly, blasting several humans bestowed with power by the God floating in the air away with a boom.
Smashing into blocks thousands of meters away.
He stood up with cold eyes, calling in his heart for the [Divine Messengers] modified by him to gather quickly. But in the next moment, he turned around abruptly. Footsteps came from the desert. Even though there was still a distance of several kilometers from him at this moment...
The intense aura could no longer be concealed.
"This is... S-Class Hero?!"
Boom!
In the next moment, domineering fist art erupted across several kilometers. Intense force tore the atmosphere. Although buildings showed no signs of shattering, Treant felt himself pierced by intense force and was sent flying directly.
In the air, countless blood vessels extended from Treant. Those blood vessels gathered like tentacles, then reshaped into two huge wings, gliding towards the distance.
It was [Silver Fang] Bang who returned!
Treant was very certain that fighting such a guy head-on had a not small probability of death. Such behavior didn't fit his combat philosophy.
For a so-called Reincarnator, ensuring one's survival in any environment was the first priority.
Hum!
The wings made of green blood vessels shone brightly. Emerald green divine power erupted. In the next moment, he was like a jet fighter, rolling up blazing white clouds and disappearing into the sky with a boom.
[Bomb] watched this scene, slowly dispersing the fist momentum on his fist. If the opponent was slightly slower, he would have been kept by [Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist].
Bang turned his head, finding the explosive-tempered Tornado actually didn't act to keep the opponent, showing a confused look.
He saw Tornado's hair floating constantly, her figure already slowly floating up.
"You guys retreat. It's enough with me alone here."
Tornado had a cruel smile on her face. Bang's eyes moved. He realized Tornado must have detected the existence of an enemy stronger than the guy who fled.
But looking at the unconscious [Charanko] and [Cloud Lark] in his hands, he just nodded.
"Then... I leave it to you."
At this moment, Bang also rarely felt a sense of powerlessness. These people appearing from nowhere were unexpectedly powerful, seemingly not weaker than that [Monster Association].
Bang and Bomb quickly rolled up the two injured people, disappearing with flashing figures.
But in the sky, more and more people floated up.
These people had hollow eyes, emitting blazing white energy all over.
Tornado spread her hands. Amidst rising intense psychokinesis, a large number of cracks began to appear in the surrounding blocks with crack crack sounds.
"You guy, quite brave. Knowing I'm looking for you, you actually stayed here..."
Tornado's usually sharp voice became weirdly calm at this time.
[Fate Eternal] looked at the air in front of him. That almost materialized psychokinesis made the air completely condense, and gravity also began to rise abnormally.
But he just patted his clothes, then threw his long hair back with both hands, took a step, and stood in the air out of thin air.
"Didn't expect the proud Miss Tornado would actually accept that fox's gift. It's really... unlike you."
He chuckled softly. Sure enough, in the next second, he saw white light appearing at the ends of Tornado's hair.
Then, Fate Eternal looked up into the air again. Shaking his head, he continued to speak:
"And you, Mercenary Tao..."
"You don't think that relying on the authority of this half-baked god, you can kill me, right?"
[Fate Eternal] pinched a hand seal in front of him. In the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand, pointing down at Tornado and that group of ordinary people temporarily bestowed with power by Kaito.
Sizzle!
The atmosphere moved violently in an instant. Tornado looked up, only seeing the sea of clouds disperse. The sun in the sky had no obstruction anymore.
An incredibly huge finger appeared from above the sea of clouds, pointing straight at Z-City.
Tornado's eyes focused. Raising her hand, intense psychokinesis erupted.
Boom!
The huge finger, probably exceeding tens of thousands of meters, seemed to collide with something in the air. Like a meteor hitting the earth, a terrifying explosion occurred rapidly.
Flames wrapped in intense shockwaves exploded from above Z-City with a boom.
