Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 596 St. Lawrence
Keng!
A burst of crimson magic erupted, and Artoria slashed her sword out of thin air in front of her, the scarlet sword light falling from the sky like a crescent moon into the sea.

Almost instinctively, she hid Serafina behind her back.

That intense, even eerie, energy directly affected her, even across a distance of a hundred miles.

Artoria felt countless whispers echoing in her mind, and countless wills telling her things.

Now, evolving alongside Lawrence and leading these pathetic fools is the choice of a true king.

No kingdom can last for eternity, but becoming one with a kingdom allows everyone to transcend the cycle of life and death.

Artoria let out a muffled groan, already affected.

"Protect my source matter."

Suddenly, Artoria felt her footing sink into the ground. She only heard the powerful and cruel man speak before the skateboard beneath her feet vanished.

She grabbed the screaming red-haired girl, quickly adjusted her body in mid-air, and plummeted violently.

Looking up, I saw a man with long, flowing black hair, behind whom a large black sun was rising slowly.

At that moment, Artoria felt a chilling impact. She was certain that the peculiar fluctuation was an indiscriminate attack on everyone present.

The self-proclaimed professor was completely demoralized after just one encounter, and his fate remains unknown.

Even I was unable to resist it and was affected.

But Tao Pai Pai... was like cold, hard ice, showing no signs of being affected at all.

At this moment, Artoria realized the gap between herself and her opponent.

……

In the sky, Bai Cangshu listened to the murmurs that kept echoing in his mind, and countless mental fluctuations swept over him like waves.

His eyes widened as he stared at the enormous, scarlet life form in the distance.

[You have witnessed Crimson Pope Lawrence (Life Forge Form) and are undergoing a mental examination...]

[Under testing...]

[Test successful; you are exempt from mental pollution.]

The notification kept appearing like a screen-filling message, and Bai Cangshu kept his eyes glued to it as the judgment continued without pause.

This is the first time Bai Cangshu has encountered this situation since that "Hand of God".

"Bai Cangshu, isn't it you who most wants to experience the passionate and fiery human heart?"

"How about we become one with each other and climb the ladder of life together?"

Lawrence's voice echoed in Bai Cangshu's ears. Bai Cangshu felt a stinging pain and touched it, finding that his eardrum was bleeding.

Bai Cangshu looked at his blood, his lips involuntarily twitching into a grin; this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.

Simply witnessing the other party has affected one's own life form.

With his hands behind his back, Bai Cangshu naturally used the Flying Dance Technique, flying straight towards Lawrence from the air.

The crimson light reflected in his eyes from the sea grew increasingly intense, and with each flash of light, Bai Cangshu's pupils unconsciously turned crimson.

Bai Cangshu flew down from the sky at an increasingly faster speed, until finally, the surrounding air turned red, and he fell like a fiery meteor, his limbs seemingly hanging limply behind him.

In that state, it was less that she actively flew towards Lawrence, and more that she was pulled there by an invisible force.

Artoria stood firmly on the sea, looking up at the scene before her as the Holy Sword dipped into the water.

Serafina looked around and found the professor floating on the water, his life hanging in the balance. She said with some concern...
"His Majesty Lawrence has probably succeeded. Lord Tao Pai Pai is in danger. Don't worry about me, go help him!"

Artoria looked down and saw the girl staring at the professor on the other side of the water. She knew that the girl probably wanted her to leave her on the sea.

Then, she will go to support the host, while she will save the professor who was just about to kill her.

Artoria could no longer determine whether this kind of redemption could still be called "kindness," as it had gone beyond foolishness and seemed somewhat unreal.

Is it really possible for a thinking individual to disregard their own safety to this extent?
In this situation, what good would saving the professor do?
Artoria felt that rather than being a saint, this red-haired girl was more like a symbol, a ritual representing kindness and salvation. Her purpose was to save others, while the girl named Seraphine herself was of no concern to anyone.

Kindness to the point of being twisted.

Artoria ignored her and instead picked up Seraphine, turning around and running wildly towards the coast. Walking on the sea was no difficult task for her, given her powerful magic.

As she passed by the professor, she picked him up and discovered that he was bleeding extensively all over his body, his eyes were gone, and his nasal cavity, oral cavity, and eardrums were damaged.

boom!
A powerful impact erupted from the distant sea, and the next moment, a huge, visible wave formed on the ocean and then swept outwards.

hum!
The sea surface where the original Holy City of Latina was located resembled a giant whirlpool with its surface sunken to the extreme, and the surrounding sea level was tens of meters higher than the ruins of the city.

The seabed is clearly visible.

Amidst the deafening roar of distorted air, Tao Pai Pai, with her long black hair whipping wildly, delivered a punch to the massive, thousands-of-meters-long tumor.

A blazing white shockwave burst forth from the body, erupting from behind the tumor and clearing away the seawater, revealing the seabed and the massive ruins beneath the city.

"what!"

A sharp scream rang out in an instant, as if countless people were roaring in his ears at the same time, piercing Bai Cangshu's eardrums in a flash and violently shaking his brain.

Bai Cangshu shook his head; even he felt a slight dizziness for a moment.

But this level of pain did not stop Bai Cangshu; on the contrary, it excited him even more.

Pieces of Qilin armor appeared one after another, and Bai Cangshu's physical body was strengthened once again in an instant. Not only that, but killing intent naturally flowed through Bai Cangshu's hands.

"Scream! Don't stop! Keep screaming!"

"what!"

puff!
Bai Cangshu's right hand formed a knife-like palm, and the pitch-black demonic spear suddenly pierced into the huge tumor. The killing intent surged in, instantly exploding like hot oil.

Countless pieces of flesh and blood gushed out, and the screams of agony almost completely filled Bai Cangshu's hearing.

He could no longer hear any other sounds.

Ignoring everything else, Bai Cangshu became increasingly violent, each strike penetrating the tumor with force. Finally, a chilling, deathly aura surged forth.

puff!
Bai Cangshu threw a punch, and Senluo's death intent suddenly entered the tumor.

The scarlet tumor, which had been expanding and contracting like a heart, suddenly stopped, and then exploded with a bang.

A massive amount of blood gushed from the tumor. Beneath Bai Cangshu's Qilin Armor, his skin bulged up little by little, and every cell in his body felt a tremendous surge of life force.

That vitality was almost more intense than the one the goddess had restored to him after cleansing his bloodline in the past.

[Special Reincarnator EX051, you have come into contact with the Forge of Life]

[In this state, vitality is greatly increased, and immortality and regenerative abilities are temporarily enhanced.]

Crunch, crunch.

Bai Cangshu lowered his head and saw that new muscles were unconsciously growing on his hands due to the enormous life force.

Because the location of this muscle was not in one's genes, this extra muscle grew out of the skin surface.

The next moment, it was the second piece, the third piece...

Countless muscles began to proliferate from every corner of Bai Cangshu's body.

Above the blood mist, countless eyes opened from the void, and Lawrence sighed with pity.

"How tragic that a beast that pursues power ultimately perishes because of power."

He felt his will rising higher and higher, and in an instant he broke free from the shackles of the city and his flesh and blood. He wanted to ascend into the starry sky and become one with the flesh and blood of the entire planet.

He will break through the ladder of life and become a true [Ancient God]!
Roar!
In the sky, within the bronze vortex, a terrifying dragon roar erupted, and flames ignited from the sea of ​​clouds, instantly setting the entire sky ablaze.

"This world belongs to us!"
