Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 573 Another King of Black (3K+)

Bai Cangshu opened his eyes, and black mud dripped continuously in front of him, among which an invisible spirit struggled and twisted.

Bai Cangshu tilted his head, watching the fiercely struggling King's Heart sink deeper and deeper.

In this special state, he was almost able to read the king's mind completely.

Bearing the destiny of being the chosen queen, countless soldiers followed her into battle, but in the end, the kingdom still declined, and the people's suffering and despair almost destroyed her.

The victorious knight queen began to fear facing the faces of the defeated knights, and she was consumed by guilt and regret.

The Chosen King falls into self-doubt because he cannot save Britain, while the Everlasting King begins to worry that he cannot win.

That dark and twisted mind, entangled on the king's resolute and flawless soul, along with the erosion of the black mud, quickly submerged his spirit body.

Fresh flesh and blood began to coalesce within the [all evil of this world], and the powerful magic that solidified into a physical form naturally emanated.

The blue dress and silver armor were removed, revealing a black dress and ink armor with scarlet patterns spreading across it. Even her brilliant golden hair seemed to have faded to an almost white color.

As a black mask appeared on her face, covering the king who had fallen into the darkness of her heart, the corrupted Artoria officially appeared in the real world.

At the top of the tower, Bai Cangshu looked at the Black Saber who appeared before him with amusement in his eyes.

The way that sacred, pure thing appeared after falling into darkness intrigued him, and he felt that by observing this state, he could get closer to the so-called "heart".

At least, he has already found some common ground among these people who have shown such brilliance.

Intense emotional fluctuations, unwavering convictions, and a catalyst that can ignite these feelings to the point of overwhelming one's personal will!

The first two are easy to explain, but the last factor is still a mystery to Bai Cangshu.

However, he was still far from that position.

His top priority right now is naturally to continue strengthening his energy attributes, break through the so-called second tier, and obtain authority.

In addition, for him, finding a way to trade for more [Golden Souls] is more convenient than making his own soul holy; he would rather directly integrate existing [Golden Souls] into his body.

Fortunately, [Death Paradise] told him that they already had information about it, and it seemed that they wanted to use that thing to make a special deal.

"How, shall we seize it?"

Black Saber's voice was cold and her words were extremely brief. She was controlled by the White Sorcery because her body was reshaped by the black mud, but the [all the evil of this world] did not deprive her of her personal will and pure ideals.

She was simply influenced by the black mud, which led her to develop a different way of thinking—a more ruthless and resolute approach to implementing her ideals.

Artoria adheres to the philosophy of "solitude is kingship." In order to protect Britain and the pure justice in her heart, she severs all personal desires and erases her own emotions.

It is a typical example of a sacrificial idealist personality.

But her purity and ideals ultimately contradicted the outcome, so under the influence of "all the evil in this world," she accepted another path.

Tyranny is also the way of kingship!
Pure violence and brutal killing can also protect those behind you and uphold the justice in your heart.

Since I am not understood, then I need not be understood. As long as I follow my own way of kingship and practice dominance with pure power, then the world I seek will reappear.

This is the change in Artoria after she turned to the dark side. Her cool question is actually asking, "Where should we start?"
The newly resurrected King of Darkness seemed to harbor an uncontrollable killing intent beneath his cold face and voice.

At the same time, the black Excalibur Morgan in her hand began to emanate a terrifying aura as she no longer restrained her magic.

Suddenly, Artoria turned her head and looked out of the city.

"Powerful magic."

She walked to the edge of the tower, leaned on her sword with both hands, and the dark magic spread out directly.

In the sky, a person felt the chilling magic power and looked up, his gaze falling on the iconic black tower.

Her long white hair fluttered in the wind, and her heterochromatic eyes caught sight of her target with just one glance.

"Black Saber... Is this a coincidence or destiny?"

The voice of the man codenamed "Solomon" reached the tower, and the next moment, he appeared teleported in a burst of magical light.

Outside the city, the boy-like [Jin], the [Tree Shepherd] who had previously interacted with Bai Cangshu in the B711 world, and another couple all flew over from low altitude.

Reincarnators who reach the title level or above usually gain some flight-related abilities.

In the past, to avoid being captured by cameras, Reincarnators rarely used their abilities in the real world. However, with the emergence of the term "Ability User," more and more high-level Reincarnators are getting used to moving more freely in the real world.

With long white hair, one red and one blue eye, a tall and slender figure, wearing a white knitted sweater, and exuding a magical aura.

In Bai Cangshu's eyes, this "Solomon" exuded an presence almost completely equivalent to that of Daheitian and the others.

"Coincidence, or destiny?"

"You mean, the corrupted Artoria has some special significance in this space?"

"She exists within the Black King's Society?"

Bai Cangshu has a very active mind, and the so-called "world-shaking wisdom" is not a joke for him in the future.

Solomon paused for a moment. Nowadays, many people say that Tao Pai Pai is not only a powerful beast, but also a beast that is probably smarter than anyone else. He had witnessed this firsthand.

Nodding, Solomon sat down naturally, the rocks on the ground rising up to envelop him like a chair.

There were no casting actions, not even a process of manipulating magic. Bai Cangshu guessed that this performance was probably the result of the caster reaching the [Peak of Skill] Lv9 specialization.

Of course, it's also possible that Solomon possesses special spellcasting abilities or has a special bloodline.

Unlike spellcasters like Mahakala who specialize in pure destruction, Solomon's abilities are secretive and versatile.

Artoria, who was standing at the door, turned around and drew her terrifying black longsword, causing the magic at the top of the tower to become chaotic.

Solomon frowned, unsure whether Tao Pai Pai was trying to intimidate him.

Even he could clearly feel the omnipresent aggression emanating from Tao Pai Pai at this moment.

This is no longer in the category of ferocious beasts.

Beasts that are too powerful or too intelligent have already transcended the category of beasts; perhaps it would be more accurate to call them "monsters."

"The Black King Society currently has about seven members, but I have only confirmed three of them, including that one."

His words were vague, but Bai Cangshu understood that there was an Artoria within the Black King's Society.

That might not necessarily be the Artoria corrupted by the black mud, but more likely the true "Black King Artoria," who, like Luffy, has had everything taken away in various world lines and timelines.

The Noble Phantasm wielded by the opponent might not be Excalibur Morgan, but rather the fully evolved Star Sword, or... the Holy Lance...

Bai Cangshu thought of many things in an instant, but didn't say anything. Solomon didn't reveal the identities of the three Black Kings he had confirmed, which clearly meant he didn't want to give Bai Cangshu such secret information for nothing.

huh~
Amidst the whooshing sound, the Snow Witch, the Tree Shepherd, and several other members of the Far East Magic Society arrived at the top of the tower.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Haha, our formation is perhaps even more terrifying than the one that surrounded and attacked you that day, Lord Tao Pai Pai."

The crisp laughter came from a blond boy who had his chest bare, showing little muscle, with a huge red sun-like symbol on his chest, from which a faint magical power seemed to flow.

[King], the second most important figure in the Far East Magic Society after Solomon, is rumored by many to possess the power of the [Sin of Pride] from the world of [The Seven Deadly Sins]—[Magic Sun]!
But this has never been confirmed.

The Tree Shepherd stood behind him and the Snow Witch. The strange man with green hair and pale skin exchanged a glance with Bai Cangshu and nodded.

The Snow Witch noticed this, and the atmosphere became even more subtle.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bai Cangshu laughed loudly, the powerful sound waves accompanied by violent vibrations in the air, so loud that people couldn't help but frown.

The smile on Kim's face faded considerably amidst Tao Pai Pai's loud laughter.

There was no energy fluctuation whatsoever; this commotion was truly caused by Tao Pai Pai's loud laughter.

Damn it, just how high are that guy's physical attributes?!
He was quite certain that after the efficiency conversion, Tao Pai Pai's power was probably close to 100 points!

That kind of physique, combined with Tao Pai Pai's martial arts skills, would be a nightmare for all spellcasters in close combat.

"Stop with those pointless tests, Tao Pai Pai. We don't want to be your enemy, but we also won't be afraid of your existence."

Solomon spoke, ending the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Then, he snapped his fingers, and Yang Yan, looking dazed, appeared in front of him.

"Yang Yan, hand over that thing, and we will forgive your actions this time and will not pursue you. Of course, if you encounter our members in the mission world, that will be your misfortune."

There was no room for negotiation in Solomon's words.

Yang Yan subconsciously looked at Bai Cangshu, but the latter just looked at him with a smile.

Yang Yan then realized that although Tao Pai Pai would protect his life in the Paradise, she would not care at all in the mission world or other places.

Besides, Tao Pai Pai... wasn't exactly a kind-hearted person to begin with!

He shuddered, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a rather peculiar pager. Judging from its design, it seemed somewhat similar to the one Nick Fury used to contact Captain Marvel in the Marvel universe.

Bai Cangshu naturally reached out his hand, and Yang Yan hesitated for a moment before handing the item to Bai Cangshu.

You have obtained the item: S.H.I.E.L.D. Emergency Communicator (Blue)

Seeing this, Solomon did not stop him. He slowly shifted his gaze from Artoria and looked back at Tao Pai Pai.

"Before the mission begins, we will approach you to form a temporary team. We hope you can prepare in advance."

"We're facing more than just one illusion."

"There will probably be an exceptionally angry... witch as well."
