Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 585 A World with 78% Distortion

The stench and putridity were palpable, as if the soil itself contained human flesh and remains.

There was a burnt smell in the air.

In the endless void, smell and sound always return first, followed by the gradual focusing of vision.

The professor transformed back into the image of a medium-length-haired woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. She took a deep breath, as if she had been consciously holding her breath throughout the process.

He instinctively lowered his body, his muscles tense, a gemstone already crushed in his right hand, and a mysterious murmur sounded in his ear.

He immediately received a lot of additional information.

"So that's the power of the Tarot Sequence? Interesting~"

A flippant voice sounded from behind the professor's ear, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He had no idea that Tao Pai Pai was there. When he turned around, he saw Tao Pai Pai, who had also returned to his pink robe, floating in the air.

The wisps of smoke drifted gently in the breeze beneath the enormous tree.

If you close your eyes, Tao Pai Pai's presence will completely disappear; he will simply float in the air and become one with the surrounding atmosphere.

A calm mind is like still water; the way of nature is like the Tao.

The professor knew very well that this was clear proof that Tao Pai Pai's martial arts techniques had reached the pinnacle of skill.

He relaxed a little; at least in this world, a monster like Tao Pai Pai would be his most reliable ally.

"Be careful, Lord Tao Pai Pai. This world is dangerous, and even you should not be careless."

Bai Cangshu suddenly turned around, and an unusual wind arose out of nowhere. A leaf spun and flew over the vast grassland.

He reached out and gently scooped it up, and an invisible, subtle force drew it into his palm.

The leaves have clear and intricate veins on the front, resembling an ouroboros, a signature pattern that represents infinite dimensional space.

He turned the leaf over, and saw golden words quickly appear on the back of the leaf, like molten gold, leaving behind jet-black marks.

……

A large number of milestones were triggered at once, making the number of milestones that can be triggered in this world unimaginable, and their level is also far higher than before.

More than five of these milestones are of exceptionally rare quality.

and……

Bai Cangshu looked at the distortion degree of this world, which was as high as 78%. The distortion degree of the secondary world B711 he had experienced before should have been only over 30%.

In this respect, this world is indeed quite special, and... extremely dangerous.

Looking at the descriptions of the ancient gods and outer gods, Bai Cangshu realized that this world was different from the derivative worlds of the dragon race; it was no longer just the world of the Dragon King.

"what!"

As if just as they received the world's information, and because they entered using the Hearthstone and did not trigger the main quest, a shrill scream came from the distant cliff below.

hum~
The air distorted slightly, revealing Artoria, who had been hiding her form with magic.

At this point, she was essentially a creation of Bai Cangshu, not an independent reincarnator. Therefore, even though she wasn't added to the temporary team, she still entered this world through Bai Cangshu's teleportation.

She looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery. The wildly growing weeds were already above her knees. All around were grasslands and hills. The so-called cliff was nothing more than a cliff face less than a hundred meters high.

Black rocks were exposed, and below, amidst a vast meadow, a group of soldiers clad in tattered armor were retreating.

Ahead of them, there was only a figure with his head down, swaying as he slowly walked toward the soldiers.

Behind the figure, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying scattered around.

The professor watched this scene, a flash of light appearing in his hand, and a hand cannon materialized. Bai Cangshu showed no intention of intervening; with his perception, he could easily sense that the soldiers below possessed no special power whatsoever.

He was probably just an ordinary farmer; his armor and weapons were crudely made.

They were most likely just some lowly soldiers used to fill the gaps on the battlefield; in this case, "defeated army" would be a more accurate description.

Pursuing them was a human exuding a peculiar aura, whose limbs were far more muscular than those of ordinary humans, possessing the power to tear apart human bodies with just his bare hands.

"Are we going to take action?"

The professor asked instinctively, but received no answer. He looked at Tao Pai Pai, who simply gave an ambiguous response.

The professor pursed his lips, about to make a move, when he saw a flash of black and red sword light.

boom!
A massive chasm tore through the hills, and terrifying magic cleaved the mutated human in two.

Limbs and head flew out in all directions.

After the fleeing soldiers screamed in fear, it took them a while to realize they were saved. They turned around and saw a female knight in black and red armor on the hillside.

"Thank you, Sir Knight!"

"We...are saved!"

Before the group's exclamations could continue for long, Artoria had already arrived in front of them.

"Tell me, when and where?"

Her voice was cold, and she raised her sword. The fleeing soldiers understood and started talking all at once.

The professor frowned, as if sensing something unusual, and said to Tao Pai Pai...
"It's 1435 now, and this is probably... Artoria's hometown..."

It's normal for a British king to have some unusual reactions when he comes to his homeland nearly a thousand years later.

He looked up at the sky, where there was a place where the clouds twisted like a vortex, and across the hilly grasslands, there were traces of fire everywhere.

At first, he thought it was just arson during the war, but now it seems to be a sign that the Dragon King is reviving.

Zira~
On Bai Cangshu's body, blue and white lightning flickered slightly. His mental network had been fully deployed, and within the vast domain, there were hardly any human voices.

Corpses were everywhere, death was everywhere, and in the distant village, people were piling up large numbers of corpses and burning them.

The next moment, the sound of hooves rang out, and a group of knights draped in white cloaks came rushing from afar. Upon seeing these people, the defeated soldiers immediately relaxed.

"Great! It's the Healing Church!"

"Lord Lawrence heard our prayers, our war... is over!"

Ignoring the black-armored female knight and her own injuries, the group rushed towards the group of knights.

As long as they have that [blood medicine], they can survive even if they contract that damned plague on the battlefield, as long as... they are devout enough!
The professor lowered his head and spoke to Bai Cangshu.

"They're from the Healing Church. They're probably another element that distorts this world. How about we make contact?"

Bai Cangshu simply watched as the group of knights distributed some kind of potion to the fleeing soldiers before walking towards them.

The defeated soldiers who had taken the potion took some grayish-white cloth from their horses and draped it over their backs, signifying that they had joined the Healing Church, were no longer soldiers, and had officially withdrawn from the war.

One of them suddenly clutched his head, feeling his brain become very foggy, as if some kind of voice was constantly appearing in his brain.

His body felt lighter and lighter, and his arms were incredibly itchy. Frustrated, he suddenly scratched hard.

puff!
Warm blood splattered all over him.

Beneath his completely mutated arm, a headless corpse slowly fell.

"Ah! Duncan is not devout; he has become a beast!"

Duncan shook his head, the sounds fluctuating in volume.

Am I not devout?

No, I was the most devout, I even... dedicated my own sister to the church!
The crowd around him was still shouting, which made Duncan even more irritable. He wanted to retort, but instead let out a strange roar.

Roar!
Bai Cangshu smiled as he watched this scene.

Blood-purifying medicine... for him, it was a pretty good thing.

"Go, Artoria, kill all these filthy bastards who have trampled on your land!"

"Uh, leave that guy here."

The object he was pointing at was none other than the mutated Duncan.
