[Your behavior gained praise from Outer God ??. Your reputation increased slightly. Current: Respected (95/100)]
Kaito Shirogane constantly absorbed these people who suffered unexpected calamities into the Outer God's faith. The Fox Outer God suspected to be Inari Okami was obviously very satisfied with Kaito's actions.
He wasn't a native god of this world, nor an existence wanting to completely purge and eliminate humanity with the power of monsters.
He was just an Outer God who fled here from a world where mystery faded. For Him, strengthening His own faith and solidifying the mysterious existence was the most delightful thing.
For this reason, this little divine power sprinkled at this moment was completely negligible.
The lives of these people who accepted divine power infusion had been replaced by divine power. Because the number was too large, Kaito and Inari Okami didn't give them powerful strength. Just a little divine power was enough to grant these humans powerful vitality close to bringing the dead back to life.
Even some humans whose heads were smashed with huge gaps obtained regeneration under monster-like vitality because they didn't die long ago and their [Spirit] hadn't dissipated.
Exclamations triggered by such miracles were everywhere. But weirdly, these people resurrected in miracles didn't show much amazed expression.
The man initially infused with divine power by Kaito to heal held his similarly recovered daughter. The two followed calmly behind Kaito. In his eyes, that excited look of worrying about his dying daughter was gone.
Everything turned into dead-water-like calmness.
Boom!
Violent explosion sounds seemed to come from dozens of kilometers or even farther away. The vibration of the air, reaching here, could only blow Kaito's long hair apart.
Kaito sniffed. There was a familiar smell—blood... and the smell of despair.
Hum hum~
Helicopters appeared in the air not far away. Heroes, medical personnel, and professional heroes reinforcing from other cities finally began to appear successively after the situation here calmed down.
A helicopter landed not far from Kaito soon. A sexy woman wearing a red minimalist suit had sharp eyes, spotting the tall Kaito standing before the ruins at a glance.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from NHB TV Station in B-City. Were you the first to arrive here and save these people?!"
The woman's voice was excited; even the sound of helicopter rotors couldn't suppress it.
Kaito originally didn't want to pay attention, but suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appearing about a kilometer behind the helicopter.
The man wore a yellow tight suit; a white tattered cape shook constantly in the wind. The lazy expression on the bald man's face disappeared. He lowered his head slightly, leaving his eyes in the shadow.
Intense oppressiveness hit. In just an instant, Kaito unconsciously wanted to imitate that aura condensed to the extreme displayed by the opponent at this moment, that feeling as if collapsing power to the extreme.
Drip.
In Kaito's nasal cavity, black blood dripped again, then more and more.
"Mr... Hero?"
The beautiful female reporter's pupils dilated. She subconsciously pulled her collar first, but immediately realized this powerful hero didn't seem to look at her, and...
"Your hair..."
Kaito's long hair had unknowingly turned completely white at this moment. Standing in place, wrinkles also began to appear on his skin.
"Stop quickly, Mercenary Tao!"
A voice appeared in Kaito's ear at this time. Among the reinforcing hero agency team, a black car drove quickly, blocking between the helicopter and Kaito.
Fubuki, sent away by Tornado with superpowers after reinforcing the desert, appeared again at this time.
She quickly opened the car door. Blue superpower wrapped her whole body. Grabbing Kaito, she wanted to pull Kaito into the car.
[Lilith] sitting in the passenger seat looked at Saitama in the distance, trembling slightly.
Saitama... showed killing intent?
Moreover, in Saitama's hand, he was clearly dragging a huge arm.
[Warning, Secondary World B711 entered abnormal state. World Difficulty re-evaluation in progress]
[Evaluating...]
[Evaluation complete. World Difficulty constant at: Purgatory]
[According to Space Safety Regulation Article 3 · Special Situation 1, Reincarnators can abandon the mission and return to Space]
Lilith's eyes trembled. It was the first time she saw such a special situation where the Space actually allowed Reincarnators to return directly.
"What exactly happened..."
"Come help quickly!"
Fubuki knew better what happened at this time, but she didn't say a word. Wanting to stuff Mercenary Tao into the car, but the opponent's muscles were so hard that she couldn't shake him at all.
Kaito's nose and mouth were filled with blood at this time.
But his eyes were still wide open, looking at Saitama as if that was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
A large amount of information poured into Kaito's brain continuously. Frequency of muscle tremors, flow of neurons, contraction of skin pores.
Massive information about Saitama's body entered his brain constantly.
But these were not the secret of that power.
Want to see clearly, really want to see clearly...
Kaito's face began to become aged and wrinkled at this moment. White long hair began to fall off. He could feel that spiral in his body spinning faster and faster, almost approaching the limit.
Overly fast spiral rotation made his body break through, understand, and adapt rapidly, wanting to imitate Saitama's state.
But this rotation also caused his stable gene chain to begin showing signs of disintegration.
The thing called [Life] lay in that spiral eventually stabilizing. 'Stability' shaped the life form, but also shackled the life form.
This was a kind of shackle.
Kaito's [Transcendent Helix] was an extremely special state. He could actively start the spiral again, making the stable life form start to rotate and evolve again.
It was just that this rotation, because it was no longer stable, carried terrible risks. Just as recorded in the talent description, this spiral had the possibility of causing his body to disintegrate into the [Primordial Soup] state again.
At this moment, this possibility was rising infinitely.
High above, the Outer God who was just overjoyed by His Favored One's actions began to feel uneasy at this time.
That bald man originally had no power at all in His perception, just like an ordinary person.
But at this moment, with the opponent's approach, He actually felt a strange 'palpitation.' For a god, that should be a transcendental premonition.
A terrible scene appeared before Him groundlessly. That bald man, carrying a creepy powerful aura, shattered the scene before his eyes with one punch.
He suddenly understood. This was a hint given to Him by the world He seized. The former god of this world fell at the hands of the opponent.
With a thought from the Fox Outer God, thousands of people wrapped in white light began to walk out of the ruins, walking towards Saitama expressionlessly.
Spreading out like a human wall in front of Saitama.
Saitama was expressionless. Taking a step forward—Boom!
Intense wind pressure cleared the human wall in an instant. Amidst the collapsing human wall, Saitama already appeared in front of Kaito.
[Lily of the Three Section Staff] exclaimed. The black car was blown sideways by wind pressure.
Fubuki was also pressed against the car door without resistance.
"You want to see my power clearly very much?"
