Chapter 438: Multi-faceted Star People, Scavenger Enters the Scene (4K+)
The woman codenamed Bonnie was completely unaffected in the zombie-infested streets. This kind of 'zombie' creature, which only relies on biting as an attack method, could hardly cause much impact on a Reincarnator who was close to the extreme of the first tier.
Even the White Walkers hidden among the zombies were nothing to her.
Obviously, this kind of thing was not the means used by the White Sanctuary team to attack her team; instead, it was more like a counterattack in terms of attitude.
Because her team had used an item in Osaka, where they were located, to prematurely activate the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' event, even drawing out Nume Slime, one of the few 'hundred percent aliens' in the Gantz world, ahead of time.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons caused Osaka to almost collapse, and the enormous turmoil it created prevented the White Sanctuary from hiding, exposing their team's whereabouts.
Therefore, the opposing team retaliated with such an action, bringing the dark creatures of the Game of Thrones world, the White Walkers, to Tokyo.
And by utilizing the characteristic of the White Walkers to create zombies, they caused great chaos in a short period, successfully making her hidden team, and another team probably named 'Exploding Drumbeat', engage in battle.
Bang!
Bonnie stomped in the air, and a scorching white shockwave caused her to change direction ninety degrees mid-air, falling to the ground. The moment she landed, her body crouched low like a nimble cat, her resilient flesh dissipating all the force, and a semi-transparent ripple spread outwards.
The few people standing on the roof of this building looked wary. Four or five optical instruments were already aimed at the surroundings from the rooftop, conducting thermal scans. Living beings, zombies, and White Walkers were extremely obvious in these optical instruments.
The living people who were collapsing and fleeing, being pressed down and gnawed by zombies, dead people whose heat quickly cooled as blood flowed everywhere, and also, those Reincarnators sitting at a round table behind the Shibuya army!
"Bonnie, as the rumors say, White Sanctuary is very strong. Even with the reinforced suit, we probably can't match them."
The speaker had Short Hair falling to his shoulders, with delicate features. If you didn't hear his voice, you might not even be able to tell his gender at first glance. He was Lotus, the strategist of the 74960 team, or as they called themselves, the 'Sage'.
This team was able to keep its core members intact for over 5 mission worlds and gradually solidify its lineup, relying on Lotus's wisdom and Bonnie's strength.
Bonnie's pupils contracted abnormally. Without needing binoculars, she saw the group of people five kilometers away.
There were seven people in total on the other side. Four of them sat at a round table, looking self-assured, while the other three stood behind them, constantly looking around, likely recently recruited members.
"Four second-tier Reincarnators, double our number. Their captain, Lancer, is said to be a rare Reincarnator who has broken through the extreme in both physical and Mental attributes, probably even stronger than you."
Lotus's voice was clear. He closed his eyes, also using his Mental power to perceive the situation on the other side.
And they knew that those few people from White Sanctuary, seemingly sitting there motionless, were actually using their abilities to probe their own team's true strength.
"Once they confirm that we haven't exchanged enough high-tier weapons and items from Gantz, they might launch a strong attack. We can't retrieve that four souls jade fragment from Osaka in a short time, so we can't quickly attract those monsters here."
As Lotus analyzed, everyone else listened quietly, not showing any impatience.
All along, 74960 had relied on this absolute trust in their teammates to overcome numerous difficulties.
They could be cruel to plot characters, and cruel to enemies, but to their teammates, they trusted without reservation.
Bonnie nodded. She felt a dangerous aura from the two people at the round table.
"Let's wait two more days. In two days, it will be the full moon. By then, I should be able to instantly kill two of them, and then suppress Lancer. You just need to work together to hold off the remaining one."
Bonnie's voice was a bit soft and nasal, not at all like a powerful expert who had just cruelly slain several Reincarnators.
She looked up at the sky; the moon, obscured by clouds, was already very close to full.
In two more days, on the night of the full moon, she would be able to Liberate the power called 'Moon Lion', changing the balance of power.
On the other side, on the road in Shibuya, known as the 'world's busiest intersection', heavy barricades had now been erected. Heavy machine guns were already set up, and even artillery had been deployed.
First, a terrifying Night Parade of One Hundred Demons erupted in Osaka, subjecting over two million people to a night of terror. According to incomplete statistics, at least over 100,000 people died, and hundreds of thousands went missing. The number of people left disabled and insane was even harder to estimate.
That disaster shocked people all over the world, and at the same time, it made Japanese politicians highly nervous. When the zombie plague broke out in Tokyo, they reacted quickly, immediately implementing regional isolation and dispatching troops.
The White Sanctuary members set up their round table behind the army. They had special reputation items that allowed them to gain extremely high reputation with the Japanese Government. This Japanese Government was not limited to any specific government; as long as it was recognized as the government currently controlling the territory of Japan, it could function.
"The three people on the rooftop are probably the core members of that team. Well, except for that woman, the other two are not much of a threat."
The man with a blue ponytail, his back to the building, closed his eyes and smirked, clearly sensing the Mental scan from the opposing Reincarnator team.
"I remember that woman; she seems to be a Reincarnator named Bonnie. Her transformation is indeed like this, and the physical technique she used to kill the magician of another team was also very close to the description in the intelligence."
"A bloodline from the Mink Tribe of the Pirate World, combined with Navy Six Styles. The strength of her Armament Haki is unknown, but she is a very standard second-tier Reincarnator, with considerable strength."
At this point, the man showed a mocking smile.
"They probably intend to stall for time, waiting until the full moon two nights from now to engage us, using the powerful boost of the 'Moon Lion' transformation to instantly kill the veteran members apart from the captain..."
"It's a pity..."
The man spoke to himself. The man sitting directly opposite him, clad in silver-white heavy armor, now raised his head, his face shockingly made of decaying flesh.
"It's a pity, they won't live to see that, heh..."
Omega's hand, hidden under the table, kept shaking, causing the several zombies sitting on the table to perform various actions.
Their White Sanctuary was powerful, but they would never, due to arrogance or overconfidence, adopt the posture of sitting at a round table drinking tea on the battlefield.
Everything was to quickly dismantle this somewhat 'dangerous' 74960 team.
Omega advocated 'information theory', believing that so-called strategy was merely a rational plan based on the information gap between both sides.
He understood the information of both teams better than Lotus from the opposing team; therefore, he could outwit them.
Whoosh!
As if in response to his thoughts, the sound of a giant creature flapping its wings echoed from above the clouds.
He slowly rose, then said to the official in front of him,
"Fire the cannons. The culprits behind the Osaka tragedy are on that building."
The official was about to question him, but his eyes suddenly became hazy. He had been Mental controlled by Omega, and mechanically issued the command.
"Attack!"
On the building, Bonnie suddenly shivered, the hairs on her back standing on end. A dangerous premonition appeared, and then her Kenbunshoku Haki perceived the source of the attack.
"Watch out, there's a dragon above the clouds!"
Roar!
A huge dragon roar echoed from above the clouds. A figure clad in blue and white armor, riding on the back of this black giant dragon over a hundred meters long, swooped down from the clouds.
The clouds obscuring the moon instantly churned, and the giant, pitch-black wings seemed to block out all light.
After Bonnie spoke, the others reacted immediately. The middle-aged man who had not spoken or participated in the discussion silently grabbed Lotus, the team's strategist, turned, and leaped down towards the back of the building.
Bonnie, on the other hand, stomped again with Moonwalk, turning into an afterimage, bouncing several times in the air, and shooting towards the black dragon.
Dragon-type creatures have better eyesight and intelligence than ordinary humans. The black dragon Belerion was extremely ferocious, directly opening its huge mouth at Bonnie as she flew towards it, instantly spewing out a stream of dragon flame.
Boom!
Bonnie stomped dozens of times in the air, combining with the Mink Tribe's already exaggerated mobility, she changed direction ninety degrees mid-air again, directly bypassing the black dragon's body from below.
With the dragon flame obscuring it, the black dragon couldn't see Bonnie's figure at all.
Puff, accompanied by an almost inaudible sound of air breaking, Bonnie, like a nimble cat, flew backward to Lancer's back. Electricity flickered on her claws, and Armament Haki simultaneously covered them, as she stabbed a claw towards Lancer's neck.
Even heavy armor would struggle to resist her powerful Haki.
Lancer, in his blue and white heavy armor, had eyes as calm as water, as if he hadn't even perceived Bonnie's attack. He merely gripped the greatsword hanging on the dragon's back in front of him with both hands.
The next moment, sword light exploded out of nowhere.
A scorching white shockwave erupted. Bonnie's pupils trembled as she saw her Armament Haki shatter on her hand, her right hand falling from the air, and at the same time, her chest was cut open by the sword light.
So fast... How could it be so fast...
Bang!
Bonnie crashed to the ground like a meteor from nearly a thousand meters high. The huge shockwave completely blew away the zombie tide.
And in the air, Belerion was still spewing dragon flame, the intense breath not only scorching but also carrying powerful impact, completely destroying the building.
The two who jumped from the air barely dodged the dragon flame breath. Lotus knew that if Amaterasu had been a second slower, he would have been killed by that breath.
His expression was pale. White Sanctuary's surprise attack was so decisive that they didn't even guard against whether they had high-tier Gantz weapons.
His brain worked rapidly, and he quickly realized that a member of the Tokyo Black Ball Squad had probably fallen into their hands.
No, more accurately, because Black Ball Squad members cannot discuss Gantz with ordinary people, White Sanctuary must also have members who joined the Osaka Black Ball Squad!
He kept thinking, but Amaterasu, who was holding him, suddenly warned loudly.
"Watch out, there are enemies below."
Standing beneath the collapsing building, a man in a black jacket and white baseball cap extended his hands from his pockets, and facing the dragon flame in the sky, he clasped his hands in the air, then pulled down forcefully.
The dragon flame reignited and transformed into a huge fire dragon, falling from the sky, hitting the two who had not yet landed.
The two instantly burst into flames.
"Easy, easy, job done, job done."
The man chanted, watching his captain descend from the sky on the black dragon.
Lancer dismounted from the black dragon's back and saw the man holding his companion still moving in the flames. He drew his greatsword, Omega, the team's strategist's, information in his mind.
"That guy codenamed Amaterasu should be a Reincarnator specialized in defense, with some kind of damage absorption talent. He's a good prospect..."
Lancer understood the unspoken meaning, took a step forward, and his greatsword instantly formed a cross.
Amaterasu felt intense pain all over his body, his arm already separated from his body. What made him even more desperate was that Lotus's head also fell from his embrace at the same time, his delicate face filled with unwillingness.
"I can give you a chance, so you can..."
"Warning! Reincarnator KT35277411, your team member UH50522273 (Guicai) is making contact with a special creation, the Truth Chamber. Please immediately eliminate Reincarnator UH50522273 (Guicai)."
"Warning! Your team has violated spatial regulations. Please complete the purge within 1 minute."
"59..."
"58..."
Lancer's words were cut short as a crimson prompt appeared before him. His sword was at the neck of the man whose arms had been severed.
On the other side, standing behind the army that had begun bombarding the target, Omega's expression also changed drastically as he looked at the prompt before him.
Guicai...
Didn't Guicai take people to Germany to find the wealthy man who could create Gantz? How could he come into contact with the special creation, the Truth Chamber?!
The Truth Chamber... relevant information immediately flooded his mind.
That was... where the Multi-faceted Star People appeared!
"What should we do, Lancer? Guicai has probably encountered the Multi-faceted Star People..."
Lancer's eyes lowered. He pondered. The Multi-faceted Star People were probably the most terrifying aliens in this world. No, they could probably be called gods.
How could such beings have any interaction with Guicai?
But now, they were still in Tokyo, Japan. Guicai was probably with a few people in Germany and couldn't complete the purge at all.
He looked at the collapsing 74960 team at the scene, decisively cut off the man's head with a sword, and then immediately said,
"Retreat, prepare to face the purge mission..."
"The Scavenger is coming."
The black dragon flapped its wings. As Lancer just took off from the ground, he saw several figures in black reinforced suits appear not far away.
Is this the Scavenger?!
The next moment, more men and women in black reinforced suits began appearing in Tokyo.
The spatial prompt also refreshed simultaneously.
"World Main Storyline Change"
"World Main Storyline: Survive until the purge mission ends."
"There, it's the Reincarnation Alien!"
On the ground, among the Black Ball Squad members from all over the world wearing reinforced suits, someone had already discovered the giant black dragon and shouted loudly.
Special Gantz guns were aimed at the sky.
—
Amidst the thick scent of blood, many figures swayed, shadowy forms, whispering prayers, chanting with a certain manic fervor.
Bai Cangshu opened his eyes and found himself in an empty stadium. Around him, dozens of corpses were arranged in a circle.
Seeing Bai Cangshu appear, the surrounding people wept with joy.
"Did you see, everyone!"
"Our prayers, the benevolent Lord has heard, and the demonic messenger who will bring the world's chaos to an end has descended upon the human realm!"
A man in a red and black robe, his back to Bai Cangshu, spread his arms and shouted at the humans kneeling in the stadium.
Puff!
Bai Cangshu casually waved his hand, and the opponent's head rotated more than a dozen times on his neck.
