Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 84 Return to the Demi-human World

After seven heroic spirits accumulated within the Imaginary Tree seed, the Greater Grail within the ley lines immediately fulfilled the conditions for the ritual.

Beneath the massive hollow of the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City.

Buzz—

Space was torn apart.

A huge, chaotic hole, exuding an ominous aura, unfolded from above the Greater Grail.

Behind that hole was not a dark void, but an abyss churning and surging with endless black mud!

coming!

All the evil in this world!

Carrying all the curses, pain and malice of the world, the dark muddy torrent poured down with a roar!

However, a strange, phantom seed appeared—an anomaly known as the Imaginary Tree Seed.

From the contract, the seed of the Imaginary Tree transmitted the instinct of hunger.

Go!

"Using alien seeds as a catalyst, and drawing nourishment from the filth of this world—"

He chanted softly, not in a traditional incantation, but something closer to a "command".

The seed seemed to hear the call, and its light shone brightly!

It broke free from Wang Bai's palm, transformed into a stream of light, and actively faced the torrent of black mud pouring down!

A shocking scene has unfolded!

The black mud, which was capable of devouring and polluting everything, was absorbed into the seed's light the moment it came into contact with it, as if it had encountered a bottomless pit!

Countless fine, dark lines, like tree roots, appeared on the surface of the seed, greedily absorbing this vast and malevolent energy.

The black mud did not disappear; instead, it was transformed and purified by the seeds in an incredible way!

What is called a curse is also a wish!

The dark curse was broken down, and the immense magic was stripped away, becoming excellent nutrients for the seed to grow normally.

The seeds of the Imaginary Tree grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Although it is called a tree, it does not grow a traditional trunk and branches. Instead, it extends countless veins of light, rapidly constructing an incredibly complex and strange structure that exists between physical matter and energy.

It absorbs the black mud at an exceptionally fast speed, so fast that the cascading black mud waterfall seems to flow backward from mid-air.

When the last wisp of black mud was completely absorbed, the hole leading to the outside world seemed to be covered by this newborn existence.

stable.

Instead, there was a huge, platinum-colored halo.

At the core of the Imaginary Tree, a more dazzling and complex cup-shaped sphere of light slowly rotates.

Only those with powerful perception can detect the existence of that magnificent yet serene "axis" that permeates the world.

At the same time, the entire Greater Grail ritual emitted subtle cracking sounds in perception, and the whole thing began to disintegrate, gradually being absorbed by the enormous halo.

Within the Greater Grail, Yustissa's consciousness, which had remained dormant for hundreds of years, was awakened once more. She looked at the enormous halo and felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

My body involuntarily floated toward the platinum halo, where a pure white, ethereal female figure with a serene and gentle face slowly rose and fell, embracing the halo.

Wang Bai watched all of this quietly. The crisis in Fuyuki City was resolved, and the black mud was transformed into new power. The Winter Saintess gained a different kind of liberation.

An unprecedented "spectacle" was born here.

But looking at the invisible halo that spans the world and the pure white elves that accompany it.

At this moment, Wang Bai could feel himself connecting with the demi-human world once again.

With the help of the Imaginary Tree, it seems that a single thought can take one back to the demi-human world.

Black particles emerged from Wang Bai's body.

The black particles stirred up a storm around him, enveloping Wang Bai.

The next second, the storm disappeared.

Wang Bai looked around; they were already back in the base of the former demi-human world.

It felt like I was having a fantastic dream.

However, the image of the platinum halo that appeared in his mind showed that everything he had experienced before was not a dream.

Having experienced this journey through worlds and received the blessing of the Imaginary Tree, Wang Bai felt as if he had become even stronger.

After passing through the black particles once, I felt my body become much heavier and my spirits were also very low.

But now it seems as easy as taking a step at random.

Wang Bai walked out of the base, his hands displaying runes.

Wang Bai immediately became aware of everything around him.

How can runic script be used across the world?

Is this due to Wang Bai's unique characteristics? Or is the entire demi-human world inherently capable of supporting the use of runes?

After conducting experiments with several demi-humans in various bases, Wang Bai discovered that they were unable to draw and use the runes.

Or rather, the runes they drew were just ordinary symbols, but in Wang Bai's hands they were completely different.

After careful observation, he discovered that the reason why the runes were still effective was actually due to the support provided by the Platinum Halo, or the Imaginary Tree.

As Wang Bai continued to explore the power of the Platinum Halo, he discovered that basically all the magic used in Fate could be used in the Ajin world.

The only drawback is that these magic spells will dissolve in the demi-human world after Wang Bai stops supplying them with energy.

After going to the Fate world, the time flow in both worlds is about the same.

This means that Wang Bai has been away from the demi-human world for almost a year in a true sense.

In just one year, the world of demi-humans has changed a lot.

After the attack on the US military base, the US military finally discovered traces of demi-human involvement in the incident.

As a result, the whole world treated demi-humans with hostility.

The Ajin organization has not yet experienced any major setbacks, and its members are like new blood.

Although they are passionate and enthusiastic, they are often of mixed quality and act impulsively.

This led to a host of problems, which, when accumulated, made the entire organization a mess, riddled with flaws.

Some people even used these issues to gain a voice in the demi-human organization.

The demi-human organization, which appears to be growing stronger on the surface, is actually teetering on the brink of collapse. It's just a spark away from exploding like a powder keg.

Representatives like Tosaki and Tachibana naturally noticed this problem.

However, their social status dictates that they cannot use violence to resist.

Even though they had made efforts, they could only maintain the status quo as repairmen.

Another ideology and force, represented by the radical faction led by Sato, is rising and reshaping the entire country with extreme violence.

Tosaki and Tachibana did everything in their power to prevent it from operating in Japan, instead conducting experiments in third-world countries.

Initially, Sato's organization was very successful in the face of the powerful demi-humans, and could be said to have occupied several small countries in an instant.

However, in the middle period, some major powers immediately found the personnel of the original regimes of these countries and supported them in restoring their countries.

Later, with the support of a large number of technological weapons and firepower, and the army demonstrating a complete strategy against the demi-humans, the enemy's casualty ratio was greatly reduced, and sometimes there were no casualties at all.

One-third of the demi-humans chose to surrender, one-third were dealt with by the enemy army, and nearly one-third went missing.

Only Sato returned, relying on his own strength and the help of native Japanese Ajin.

This incident has caused Asians' reputation to plummet internationally, and they are now basically universally condemned as terrorists.

A large number of hidden demi-humans were discovered and brought under control, and several laws that violated the human rights of demi-humans were quickly passed.

The demi-human organization, which had just begun to show signs of improvement, was suppressed by overt policies and attacked by a large number of mercenaries in secret, causing it to shrink by more than half its size.

Shortages of funds and a lack of supplies have left Tosaki and Representative Tachibana in a state of great distress.

Meanwhile, numerous surveillance measures have made it impossible to maintain frequent contact with the demi-human base, causing communication between the two sides to lag behind.

Perhaps one day in the future, the number of demi-humans will gradually increase, and they will become the dominant group among humans with a voice. But before that, demi-humans will inevitably have to go through a dark period that lasts for decades or even centuries.

Just then, Wang Bai suddenly appeared in the base, contacted the demi-human organization, and brought a powerful boost to the organization.

After all, the leadership of the Ajin organization has never had a leader who can make a final decision.

During periods of struggle, leaders who have the final say can effectively improve administrative efficiency and avoid delays and internal conflicts.

Previously, the sudden disappearance of Wang Bai, a pillar of the organization, led to chaos in the leadership, and there had been some friction between the doves led by Representatives Tosaki and Tachibana and the hawks led by Sato.

Especially Sato, who, as a player, indulged in his hobby again without Wang Bai's suppression. He repeatedly chose to act in a way that suited his preferences, causing various negative consequences.

After realizing the situation in the demi-human world, Wang Bai was immediately at his wit's end.

How did such a good organization end up like this? Weren't the policies already set beforehand?

If it weren't for the debt of gratitude I owed Sato Inui for teaching him, Wang Bai would have preferred to let him live in Tokyo Bay.

However, given the current situation, it is no longer possible to act using a dovish approach.

The dovish approach works well against individuals with equal antibody levels during peacetime, but now that they are considered hostile and subject to "sausage tactics" by the demi-human organization, a radical approach is necessary.

With the addition of the unique power of the Imaginary Tree, Wang Bai felt he could be more radical in his transformation of the demi-human world.

He tried to summon heroic spirits in this world!

When he tried to connect to Valhalla, he found that he couldn't connect at all.

The only place that can be connected is inside the Platinum Halo, where the spirit origins of the Heroic Spirits who died in the Holy Grail War are solidified.

After a moment's thought, Wang Bai pointed to the first departing heroic spirit—Hundred Faces Angra Mainyu.

The moment they touched, Wang Bai simultaneously sensed the records of both figures in the Hall of Heroes.

Both of them responded to Wang Bai's call without prior arrangement.

Without using any prayers, the spirits of the fallen heroes were summoned out of thin air by Wang Bai.

Or rather, it has manifested itself in this world.

When Angolan Manuel opened his eyes, he sensed the information in his mind.

The Imaginary Tree absorbed the Holy Grail's functions, and naturally possesses the Holy Grail's abilities as well.

One of his functions is naturally to provide basic information to the heroic spirits that manifest in the present world.

"Is this really such a strange world?"

"It's not the original world, but a new world?"

"I wonder why you summoned me here? Is it to fight me again?"

Wang Bai shook his head: "It would be a waste to just let you fight. I feel that past Masters didn't make good use of you."

As a Heroic Spirit with a Hundred Faces, not only was the reason for the assassination recorded, but more importantly, the opponent had achieved sublimation in 32 fields.

This means that Bai Mao is actually a multi-disciplinary scientific research talent.

Such a person should be immersed in various fields as a talent, rather than being used as a cheap mercenary to assassinate targets.

In addition, this character not only has elements of Angolan Newman, but also elements of Emiya Shirou.

This proves that the other party is a good person who has a clear perception of malice, evil, and any human evil, and who does things with a sense of justice in mind, making them a trustworthy person!

"A fine horse may exist, but a discerning eye to recognize its worth is rare!"

Wang Bai looked at Bai Mao Angolan Newman with delight, "You're in luck this time."

"I am now your mentor!"

Angolan Newman felt no joy, only a chill running down his spine to his head.

Dangerous!

Cool~

Feeling his body filled with Wang Bai's (magic power), the heroic spirit felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

He easily activated his Noble Phantasm, and the other thirty-one figures were confined. They were accomplished in their respective fields and were now being dispatched by Wang Bai to various fields of different organizations as airborne units.

Some people in the demi-human organization were initially unconvinced, but they were quickly tamed by the talents of Hundred-Faced Angra Mainyu. Some power-hungry and violent individuals also succumbed to Hundred-Faced's abilities.

There are also some extremists. Wang Bai can only say that if you provoke the leader of an assassin organization, not dying is a curse.

In just one week, the entire organization was transformed, and all actions were directed towards a single message.

An Angora with a hundred faces walked into a room filled with records of various runes and magic spells.

In the middle of the room, Wang Bai was studying something amidst the mountain of books.

Bai Mao An Ge was already used to it. Rather than worrying about the other party, he was more worried about whether he would suddenly die under such a core boss.

Have you ever seen a Heroic Spirit get dark circles under their eyes from being exhausted by doing work?

There is now.

Perhaps the first heroic spirit to die suddenly from work will appear soon.

However, whether as Hyakko, Angra Mainyu, or Emiya Shirou, he merely complains about his body verbally or actively takes action.

As one of the Hundred Faces, he stepped out of the darkness onto the stage; as Angra Mainyu, he gained a peaceful daily life (even if it's just being a corporate slave); as Emiya, he is upholding justice and becoming a partner of justice.

This job perfectly met Bai Mao's spiritual needs.

Bai Mao An Ge, a dying office worker who had just worked overtime for a week straight without any sleep, said in his voice: "Mr. Wang Bai, the entire organization has been purified and we can proceed to the next step."

Wang Bai raised his head, his mind gradually snapping out of his thoughts about how to use the Imaginary Tree.

"Really? With your abilities, I think you're perfectly capable of handling the following actions, aren't you?"

Bai Mao An Ge really wanted to admit it immediately, but the role he had recently encountered made it impossible for him to speak up readily.
