Chapter 412: Bai Cangshu Awakens, Fate Theory Fragment (3K+)
Moo!
The giant Yin Spirit roared towards the sky, and in an instant, everyone in the entire building became stiff, completely unable to move. Although they couldn't see the Yin Spirit, the chilling sensation made them instinctively aware.
There was something invisible and terrifying approaching in this building.
The distorted Yin Spirit broke free from its cage, wantonly exuding its twisted malice. Having been soaked in the Yellow Springs and having mutually slaughtered like Gu worms in that purgatorial Yin Spirit pit for a long time, this Yin Spirit's level of distortion and power were extraordinary.
It could soon evolve into a Vengeful Spirit or a Cursed Spirit. If it wished, it could also remain in this building and become a powerful Earthbound Spirit.
The Yin Spirit suddenly lunged at the humans emitting vibrant life force, but the next moment, a strong suction force came, and the giant black Yin Spirit sensed a familiar aura.
It let out a terrified shriek.
Woo!
It didn't want to go back.
The Yin Spirit's limbs turned into twisted joints, wrapping around the building, but that power was far stronger than ever before. The next moment, the Yin Spirit's joints were torn off, and its body instantly passed through the building, transforming into a black arrow in the sunlight, shooting into the distance.
Bang!
The Yin Spirit, sucked into the air, collided with another spirit body. It angrily reformed its claws and fangs, preparing to devour the other, but instead, it met a pair of scarlet Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, single-handedly swatting away the weak creature that had crashed into him from the air. He saw that the creature merely changed its arc, still uncontrollably flying towards the same place as him.
He looked up at the sky, watching the black lines continuously rising from all directions of the world, then converging towards the same place.
Clearly, his peculiar host had probably gained some even greater power, and was now forcibly capturing them, his prisoners, back.
"Hmph."
Even at this moment, Uchiha Madara stood with his arms crossed. Despite having reached an agreement with him, his host still used such crude methods. He could vaguely sense that his host had not only become more powerful but also probably more tyrannical in temper...
The flight speed of spirit bodies is fundamentally different from that of living beings; they can directly bypass some spatial obstacles and enter the spiritual realm.
Uchiha Madara felt as if only a moment had passed in the strange black-and-white space before he plunged once again into the body of his host, whose appearance had become somewhat strange.
The next moment, Uchiha Madara's expression turned grim. He struggled to maintain his arms-crossed posture, but he was constantly pushed and shoved by the surrounding crowded spirit bodies, forcing his position to change repeatedly.
Gojo Satoru, standing in the air using Limitless, watched this scene and laughed, clutching his stomach.
Boom!
Uchiha Madara cleared all the spirit bodies near him in an instant. These eliminated spirit bodies slowly regenerated from the equally crowded Yellow Springs the next moment, continuously pushing and shoving in confusion.
In the vast white space, a massive number of spirit bodies, far exceeding their previous scale, were now crowded together.
Gojo Satoru cleverly landed beside Uchiha Madara, who had instantly cleared an area. In the distance, the Shinigami, who could devour souls, was uncharacteristically floating motionless in the air. He had probably eaten an unprecedentedly full meal.
"What exactly is going on?"
Uchiha Madara asked coldly. Although he had accepted a temporary cooperation with this host, the space becoming so crowded truly put him in a bad mood.
Gojo Satoru clasped his hands behind his neck, looking at the golden glow peeking through the cracks in the white jade Heart Throne in the sky, and gave a light whistle.
"Perhaps that guy gained some wonderful opportunity and became a tiny bit stronger, truly…"
"Such frighteningly good luck that makes one envious."

Lilith watched the black car gradually drive away. A day had passed, and the rescue work here had temporarily concluded. The corpse of Tao Bai Bai, the "Nameless Hero," remained in place, surrounded by a cordon. It was said that many researchers hoped to use the remains of this powerful hero for study.
This matter had now sparked intense debate. Fubuki's departure was also to gather the former Hero Association members to change the current situation.
She could not accept a "hero" meeting such an end.
Hero, huh...
You are currently in a non-combat state. Do you wish to directly end this mission and return, according to Space Safety Regulation Article 3, Special Circumstance 1?
Yes/No
In Lilith's spatial panel, scarlet words continuously flashed, clearly indicating that the Space was hinting she should return immediately.
Lilith's eyes dimmed. The difficulty of this world was completely unsuitable for a weakling like her. Rather, for a "Bing" rank Reincarnator like her, being thrown into a world of this difficulty was inherently a disaster.
However, now that the disaster was over, she felt little joy.
Her familiar companion was dead, Tao Bai Bai, the great villain who inexplicably saved her several times, was also dead, and Saitama, who showed her kindness, suddenly began hunting Reincarnators.
Lilith looked at the mangled corpse surrounded by layers of caution tape, sighed, and chose "Yes."
As streams of information flowed down, she suddenly smelled blood, and then she saw flesh tendrils suddenly twitching again on the mangled corpse within the caution tape.
"You…"
Lilith's figure completely vanished. Subsequently, an increasingly strong smell of blood emerged from the corpse, and the flesh tendrils continuously twitched as flesh and blood tissue began to regenerate.
After Bai Cangshu's body regained vitality, it continuously attempted to regenerate.
Beep, beep, beep...
Urgent alarm sounds quickly rang out from the edge of the caution tape. These were alarms jointly set by the hero agencies to prevent anyone from privately trying to monopolize the hero's remains.
They would sound upon detecting the presence of a living organism.
Soon, several motorcycles appeared from the distant urban area. B City, having suffered such a terrible impact, had already relocated most of its population to neighboring urban areas, but some hero agencies were still stationed within the city.
Several fully armed men on motorcycles appeared outside the caution tape, but saw no other trace of people.
"What's with this alarm? Was it accidentally triggered by some animal?"
The few men knelt to check the trigger, but did not notice that the corpse was now several centimeters taller than before, and its flesh was beginning to emit a bloody smell.
Click, click, mechanical footsteps sounded. The men turned their heads, only to see a pitch-black robot appearing outside the street, walking with heavy steps.
"Stop, which agency are you from?"
The men immediately shouted a warning, simultaneously drawing their firearms. The black muzzle on the robot's back slowly rotated, and the men's faces showed fear. Their strength was not yet at a level where they could ignore thermal weapons, especially large-caliber ones.
"Wait, we…"
Bang!
Three headless corpses slowly fell. The robot stepped over them, directly crushing the alarm. It tore off the caution tape, looking at the mangled corpse with twitching flesh tendrils, its mechanical eyes emitting red light.
"Indeed, you have revived…"
The robot's chest plate then opened, and a mechanical arm retrieved a emerald green potion from within, pouring it onto the mangled corpse.
A large amount of active substances and intense vitality immediately emerged from Bai Cangshu's mangled corpse. The flesh tendrils almost twisted together like long snakes.
A moment later, a complete Bai Cangshu once again appeared in this world.
Unlike before, Bai Cangshu now had long black hair flowing down his back, and his entire demeanor had changed completely.
The cruel smile he once had was gone, replaced by eyes so dark they seemed capable of devouring hearts.
He appeared calm, but merely standing nearby would make one feel unconsciously drawn to him.
It was a difference in absolute presence, a difference in the essence of the soul.
"Hello, Interest-Driven Hero Tao Bai Bai, I have been observing you for a long time…"
A mechanical voice emerged from the black robot. This robot was over three meters tall, covered in heavy armor, with three large-caliber cannons on its back, and likely many other weapons concealed within its body.
"Metal Knight."
Bai Cangshu calmly looked at the robot, then, without waiting for it to speak, directly said,
"I accept your deal."
Metal Knight's electronic eyes flickered a few times. Bai Cangshu, again without waiting for it to speak, directly said,
"You, who have always hidden behind the scenes, have no doubt observed the powerful strength of our group, and the even more terrifying power of Saitama and others, so you wish to create a balance. I can agree to that."
Your actions have earned Metal Knight's praise. Your reputation with Metal Knight has slightly increased. Current: Stranger (88/100)
Bai Cangshu's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his "resurrection," or if the effects of those three golden soul fragments were truly so powerful.
He was clearly not using Transcendent Helix at this moment, yet he possessed a powerful thinking ability almost like when he did, instinctively able to simulate the other party's thought Logic.
He vaguely sensed that this was likely a change he gained after his Transcendent Helix reached its extreme first rotation, almost causing his genes to collapse.
"Your performance requires me to re-evaluate the threat of your group."
Metal Knight was not an easy person to get along with. Even though he showed appreciation for Bai Cangshu's "intelligence," his reputation remained at "Stranger," which showed his guarded nature.
But Bai Cangshu himself didn't care about such things.
He moved his limbs, still feeling a lack of flexibility.
"You must also want to research me, right? Arrange a place; I also want to know my current physical condition."
Metal Knight was silent for a moment again. The intelligence and cooperativeness of this guy in front of him made him uneasy, but thinking of those terrifying individuals, he had to take precautions.
Whether it was these suddenly appearing Ability Users, or the mysterious Saitama and that spiritual realm creature…
Metal Knight invites you to join his faction. Do you agree?
Yes.
Bai Cangshu sat on the shoulder of Metal Knight's black robot, flying into the desert. Suddenly, he jumped off the robot's shoulder.
He saw a gleaming golden object in the desert, incredibly dazzling.
Metal Knight clearly hadn't scanned this object.
Bai Cangshu landed in the desert. It was a dark golden fragment, like an infinite symbol broken in half.
This shape clearly indicated a connection to the Infinite Dimensional Space.
He reached out and touched it, and a profound sensation appeared.
