#427Chapter 403 FatalismAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Bai Cangshu's vision was incredibly sharp, but at this moment, he was still shocked by the scene before him.
It was as if a giant from beyond Earth had suddenly poked a finger towards the surface, and the enormous, intensely burning finger piercing the atmosphere caused a destructive pressure to slam against his body.
If it weren't for Tatsumaki's intervention, before that finger even touched the ground, Z City, along with the surface of this desert, would have been destroyed by that unparalleled pressure.
The will of the deity above Bai Cangshu was also violently shaken at this moment.
Clearly, the true power of Destiny Eternal far exceeded his expectations.
Like a meteor striking Earth, the terrifying shockwave and flames, which almost covered dozens of kilometers in radius, made Bai Cangshu feel as if he was witnessing a burning curtain unfurling over the city.
Boom!
Amidst the intense impact, Bai Cangshu's consciousness abruptly returned.
The next moment, Bai Cangshu opened his eyes, realizing his head had regenerated.
Bai Cangshu blinked his eyes, and the images of the Spirit Realm entered his brain through his eyes; he saw Saitama maintaining the posture of having just thrown a punch.
The enormous black shadow in front shattered with a bang.
Kageyama Shigeo is dead?!
The golden crown on Bai Cangshu's head was still glowing; at this very moment, he still possessed the ability called God's Will. As long as he wished, he could communicate with that Outer God at any time and receive the blessing of divine power.
Especially in this world, with the successful descent of the Outer God, Bai Cangshu, as the Ancestor of the Outer God Cult, felt incredibly fulfilled and could receive responses and blessings at any time.
He raised his hand, but then immediately reacted.
The World Mainline had not been completed; the Lord of the Spirit Realm had not been killed.
Indeed, the dark phantom dissipated bit by bit, and Kageyama Shigeo stood in place, head bowed, blood flowing from his temple, instantly staining his face red.
Saitama lowered his fist, looking at the suddenly appearing young man, blinking his eyes, a little curious.
"You are…"
Kageyama Shigeo suddenly looked up, his eyes blank, and the black and white world behind him flowed rapidly, as if countless images were playing behind him, circulating faster and faster, until black and white merged together.
The world became chaotic.
Kageyama Shigeo looked up and happened to see Bai Cangshu, wearing a crown, and Saitama, with a slightly torn cape, standing in the Spirit Realm.
He raised his hand.
"That kind of world… I don't accept it!"
Boom!
With a push of his hands, Bai Cangshu felt himself instantly plunged into a giant spring; the world turned into a viscous liquid, then immediately flung him away.
Saitama was faster than Bai Cangshu; he didn't resist, merely looking at Kageyama Shigeo, not understanding why the other person was radiating such despair.
Bang!
Saitama instantly vanished from the Spirit Realm, escaping Bai Cangshu's Mind Net perception in zero point zero something seconds, and then disappearing from the God's Will perception within one or two seconds.
This is…
Seeing himself and Saitama about to be separated by Kageyama Shigeo, in the current situation, the outcome would likely align perfectly with Destiny Eternal's expectations.
A flash of inspiration struck him; he instantly raised his hand, and golden ki intertwined with white divine power, letting out a piercing shriek the next moment.
Screech!
The Ki Blast shot through the air, and Kageyama Shigeo stood still, letting the golden and white intertwined beam of light shoot past his ear.
And it disappeared into the sky through the Spirit Realm entrance Saitama had previously punched through.
Then Kageyama Shigeo raised both hands, as if grasping a world, and squeezed Bai Cangshu.
"As long as I kill you…"
Kageyama Shigeo clenched his hands, and Bai Cangshu felt himself restricted by an immense force.
Trait Wind Demon use failed, you are in an immobile state.
The activation of Wind Demon had no effect; although he was currently in the eighth-order instant, theoretically, Bai Cangshu would only need to lightly tap the ground for his body to instantly disappear from anyone's sight.
But the entire Spirit Realm had transformed into a cage.
Bai Cangshu felt the world warp, and the next moment, he was pulled out of thin air directly in front of Kageyama Shigeo.
The young man still maintained the posture of grasping something with both hands. Because of the close distance, Bai Cangshu clearly saw the bloody tears streaming down the young man's face.
He didn't want to kill, but he had to kill.
Bai Cangshu remained calm at this moment, even as his scalp began to tingle, and the rare premonition of life-and-death crisis emerged.
Kageyama Shigeo truly wanted to kill him now… and… he could do it.
"You can foresee the future, right?"
Crack!
An enormous force appeared.
The Greed Cocoon on Bai Cangshu's body began to crack, and the next second it seemed about to shatter completely.
"Then you should know that if you kill me now, his ambition will be completely fulfilled."
"You kill me, and Saitama will come back and kill you."
"This world will instantly lose two of its top heroes, and he will gain a monster capable of destroying the world."
Crack!
The Greed Cocoon split open, and an intense force penetrated Bai Cangshu's body. At this moment, white light began to appear on Bai Cangshu's body; as a favored one of the gods, that deity attempted to help Bai Cangshu.
But Kageyama Shigeo looked up into the air, and then the Spirit Realm violently twisted, and the white light was quickly obscured.
Tsk, how disappointing, Inari God…
Bai Cangshu was terrifyingly calm at this moment; while negotiating with Kageyama Shigeo, he also had time to inwardly complain about Inari God.
The opponent had indeed shattered some so-called 'god' filters; his combat power in this world probably couldn't even rank in the top five.
"Are you indifferent to what will happen to your Divine Kingdom after your death?!"
Bai Cangshu continued to speak, and at this moment, Kageyama Shigeo finally paused his actions.
Clearly, he cared.
He cared deeply about the many deceased souls in Diaowei City, and the existence of Kageyama Ritsu's spirits.
Bai Cangshu watched this scene, remaining calm for less than two seconds, then suddenly a smile, far from kind, appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke proactively.
"Leave it to me, Kageyama Shigeo…"
Kageyama Shigeo looked up at Bai Cangshu, seemingly hesitating.
"Hand over your Divine Kingdom, hand over those spirits, all of them to me!"
Crack! Bang!
A terrifying force instantly shattered the Greed Cocoon completely. Bai Cangshu's flesh was instantly squeezed dry, bones piercing through muscle and skin, blood instantly spraying everywhere within a dozen meters.
And that force continued; Kageyama Shigeo seemed to know very well that the way to kill Bai Cangshu was to make Bai Cangshu's body lose all vitality…
Therefore, he continued to inflict massive damage on Bai Cangshu's cells.
Bai Cangshu began to alter the structure of his chest and mouth with Perfect Individual, pushing aside the useless flesh to prevent it from affecting his heart, lungs, and vocal cords.
"Since you saw that scene, then you should understand that is the future!"
"If you could change the future, Diaowei City would not be destroyed."
"Think carefully, who is truly responsible for all of this…"
"And what must you do to lead this world to the best outcome."
Poof!
Kageyama Shigeo squeezed again with force.
But the next moment, emerald green psychic power erupted from outside the Spirit Realm, instantly grabbing both Kageyama Shigeo and Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu seemed oblivious to Tatsumaki's arrival, still looking at Kageyama Shigeo, and continued,
"Since you yourself feel you cannot break that fate, why not place your bet on the side of that fate!"
"Heh, I am that Fate Theory, Lord of the Spirit Realm."
