As the main character, Alex Mercer will undoubtedly be the focus of everyone's attention. He Sanjin's actions are not only about tracking down his senior, but also about declaring... he has his eye on Alex Mercer! Anyone who dares to touch him will be killed!

Using the Avatar: The Last Airbender technique, He Sanjin's speed was comparable to that of a supersonic fighter jet. Three conspicuous tornadoes appeared behind him as propulsion, sweeping across most of the city's sky with astonishing momentum.

This alone surpasses all previous Avatars. Riding the raging winds, He Sanjin charged directly towards the fear where Alex was. And to achieve this, he relied not on anyone else, but on the assistance of Alex Mercer, a reincarnator from the Otherworld Martial Arts.

This time... I'm determined to make sure you live! Mr. Mercer! I definitely won't hold you back like I did last time!

St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in New York City is a quaint and elegant Gothic building that stands out prominently against the backdrop of the fashionable, tasteful, and even luxurious Fifth Avenue. Even more incongruous with it is a blonde girl carrying an iron box, dressed in the uniform of a clergy member of the Healing Church, with a serene expression.

"This familiar feeling... Is it her?!" The blonde girl's expression changed as if she had sensed something, and she rushed towards Pennsylvania Station.

(Oh, "Pure White Queen," please take care of the souls of those who are about to pass away...)

Praying to her god, the blonde girl rushed headlong toward Pennsylvania Station.

Even if... that place is about to become a real hell.

Doflamingo, show us your strength!

Welcome to True Knowledge [Part 1]

……

Mu Xishuang was startled awake by the message transmitted by the Book of Reincarnation without warning. After reading ancient texts and books of demonic arts all night, she rubbed her temples with a terrible headache and slammed the books that were jumping around on her face against the wall.

The Book of Reincarnation, which had been knocked away, stuck to the wall with a crisp 'smack' before slowly landing close to the wall.

Uh... Couldn't the higher-ups of the True Knowledge Clan spend a little bit of their Reincarnation Points to get a few automatons? What a bastard... Muttering in dissatisfaction, Mu Xishuang, though very unhappy, still obediently got out of bed.

With a snap of her fingers, she activated a spell, instantly correcting her split hair, wrinkled pajamas, and haggard appearance with a life-changing magic. Standing before the full-length mirror, the girl tied her long, silvery-white hair into a ponytail, glanced at her prominent, hooked, eagle-claw-like fingernails, and then used illusion magic to conceal them.

Having changed into a simple white shirt and a black vest, Mu Xishuang looked like a white-collar worker compared to her previous appearance. Seemingly feeling that this was inappropriate, she pondered for a moment and then put on a pair of simple black-rimmed glasses.

Is this alright? The mirror reflected a modern woman dressed as a white-collar worker. Although her clothes were quite ordinary, her youthful and outstanding appearance made her stand out. Her long, silver-white hair, tied in a ponytail, also made her look very capable, and the glasses on her nose added a touch of softness and intellectual charm.

However, the girl's scarlet eyes were too terrifying, not to mention the cross-shaped pupils, which didn't look like human eyes at all. Noticing this, Mu Xishuang casually activated an illusion spell to conceal it.

Carrying her Book of Reincarnation, Mu Xishuang walked towards the battle group's base while complaining about the inexplicable rules of the True Knowledge.

In the world of reincarnators, there is always a small group of people who are not well-liked by the majority. They may be willing to do anything to become stronger, or they may have abandoned their principles as human beings for profit, or they may have fallen into evil under pressure. Even though they are not accepted by most people, they still hold on to their own ideas and form their own teams.

Labeled villains, heretics, and demons, these unorthodox evildoers created their own warbands, exploiting the lives of those in the story world in this cruel realm, drinking their blood, and sitting on their thrones with their corpses underfoot.

However—in this infinitely vast multiverse, among the selected reincarnators are absolute, complete, and utterly unacceptable anomalies. Even the most wicked, driven by greed, treachery, lust, plunder, and bloodlust, despise their existence. Those who are despised, alienated, and feared are walking meat grinders, the buriers of civilization, madmen who despise everything, and insane individuals who trample all that belongs to humanity underfoot.

As one of the top warbands in the Origin Terminal, and also the biggest outlier, [True Knowledge] is the only group that welcomes hoarders. They live by their own ideas, acting recklessly in missions, and have become blacklisted by other warbands.

Mu Xishuang is a reincarnator who has recently been promoted to a formal member of the [True Knowledge] team. In addition to the normal missions, travel, and logistical support for the construction of the story world, she also has a very boring and tedious team mission.

That is to welcome the reincarnators who will join [True Knowledge], but sometimes no one comes all day, and you can only wait in vain.

After leaving her private room, Mu Xishuang, who was staying at the warband's base, initially chose a secluded spot. However, she had to walk through the training ground every time she went out. Although she could use the teleportation function to directly reach the front desk of the warband's base, that seemed too boring. As a newcomer, she was still very curious about the senior members of the warband.

The location of the battle group's base is naturally set by the leader. This time, when Mu Xishuang came out, she saw a solemn and majestic temple, unlike the ancient city of R'lyeh that she saw last time.

While choosing R'lyeh as the team's base perfectly suited the team's atmosphere and flag, the dampness and the smell of the sea were absolutely unbearable. Adding to the bizarre situation, enormous tentacles often blocked the corridors, and the ground was covered in a dark green, viscous liquid. To make matters worse, the canteen served Deep One fried rice with Flame Essence popcorn. All these strange phenomena made Mu Xishuang reluctant to leave the house for a long time.

Perhaps because the training ground was well-designed, it was already in use early on. A man dressed in purple, wielding playing cards, and another man with a powerful, muscular physique, were engaged in combat. Both were of Asian descent, with black hair and yellow skin. Mu Xishuang, watching from afar, didn't recognize them as the powerful figures.

Standing below the stage was a man dressed in a black, tight-fitting leather straitjacket, wearing a bat-shaped helmet that only revealed his bloodless mouth. He was now displaying a sickly smile, showing off a set of fine teeth to Mu Xishuang. This was a man whose attire had a somewhat SM feel to it.

"Good morning, Senior Kuangxiao." Mu Xishuang walked up to the man and greeted him casually. Although she hadn't been in the battle group for long, even as a newcomer, she had heard of his name.

The Batman Who Laughs from the DC Comics universe, though appearing in plain clothes as a reincarnator in Gantz, transforms this sub-world belonging to the True Knowledge faction into a Star Wars-like conflict through his unreasonable 'strategies' and maneuvers. What began as a city-wide battle escalates into a pan-galactic science fiction space opera under his command, with the hysterical war spreading to every corner of the galaxy, and countless lives perishing every moment due to his madman's actions.

Such a significant act naturally came to the attention of the warband, and the Faceless Demon God, as its leader, was extremely interested, extending an invitation. The Laughing Bat readily accepted, and soon became one of the most notorious troublemakers in the [True Knowledge] warband, destroying countless civilizations. Recently, he clashed with the Abyss, and after killing a newly ascended demon prince wielding blood nerves from the *Shushan*, this madman actually managed to sever several planes belonging to the Abyss from within it.

As a result, the Bat of Laughter has become famous, and even the newcomer Mu Xishuang knows him, so she naturally greeted him.

Upon seeing Mu Xishuang, the Laughing Bat shifted his attention from the training ground. Although his helmet obscured his expression, his keen interest was palpable, though the reason for it remained a mystery.

Without saying a word, the Bat of Laughter's smile widened, and he pulled out a deck of cards whose backs were obscured, asking, "How about it? Want to draw a card and take a look?"

Is this a gesture of goodwill? Mu Xishuang glanced at the cards in the Laughing Bat's hand, and without thinking much, she simply drew one.

Chapter Eight: Brains Splattered Out

"Ha...ha...!" Alex was running away. He used to be a researcher at Gentex, living a very comfortable life. Now that Blackwatch had begun purging Gentex researchers, to ensure his own safety, he even stole a sample of the Blacklight virus and carried it with him, hoping that the members of Blackwatch would spare his life because of it.

"Stop." Alex, who was about to reach Pennsylvania Station, heard a woman's voice, then lost consciousness and stood motionless, dazed and confused.

Looks like I was the first one here… Grinning, Mu Xishuang sized up the man before her. His fashion sense was decent, but the way he looked so panicked while running away… he was clearly just a mortal, not the protagonist of the story.

Reaching into Alex's arms, Mu Xishuang took the sample of the Blacklight Virus, examined the bioweapon sealed in the test tube, and opened it.

Besides the "Mysterious Heaven Yin Qi Eclipse Sun Scripture" which she mainly studied, Mu Xishuang had also read the "Old Secret Scripture Treasure Mirror". This was not a simple cultivation method, but an encyclopedia that covered many aspects such as weapon cultivation, star power, earth veins, array refining, incantations, and evil seeds. The faceless god often used it to enlighten people or give it as a gift.

There was such a book in the library of the True Knowledge Battle Group, and it could be borrowed and read for free. Mu Xishuang, who was immersed in the sea of ​​books, had read it and made notes.

“Killing you now wouldn’t make much difference, so it’s better to give it a try.” Mu Xishuang flipped her hand, and golden tentacles made of energy extended from her long sleeves, their interiors churning with a blood-red hue.

The Blacklight Virus sample was significantly rewritten under the intervention of Mu Xishuang's energy tentacles; it would be far too dull to remain at the level of the original work. Without changes, this protagonist would be unable to compete with the Reincarnators.

The T-virus and G-virus from the Resident Evil universe, and the final virus from The House of the Dead. While not all can be compared to the Blacklight virus, each has its own unique characteristics. However, fully integrating them with the Blacklight virus is no simple task. It involves extremely complex scientific principles, leaving most mystical or cultivation-based reincarnation practitioners completely baffled.

But Mu Xishuang didn't need to worry about these things. In the world of the Cthulhu Mythos, there exist creatures called Shoggoths, biological weapons capable of rapidly transforming their bodies, possessing considerable intelligence, and evolving through altering their genetic code. The humans of the Cthulhu Mythos are actually descendants of the Shoggoths, only they are unaware of this.

Using the Shoggoth as a carrier, Mu Xishuang injected several viruses into the energy tentacles for catalysis, splitting, and mutation. She quickly obtained the result she wanted: a tube of a completely different, yet far more terrifying, improved version of the Blacklight Virus.

Alex suddenly snapped out of his daze, looked around in horror, and hurriedly left with the sample of the Blacklight virus in his hand.

"This is a gift, please accept it." The process wasn't long, taking only about a minute from start to finish, leaving Mu Xishuang with plenty of energy to do other things. Reducing New York City's population to below 10% of its original size wouldn't be difficult for her; even with the constraints imposed by the Source Terminal, she had dozens of ways to achieve this goal.

Well then... let Xiuji go to the Jamaica Waterworks in Queens first. Mu Xishuang doesn't plan to join the battle later; she needs to make thorough preparations first. However... it wouldn't hurt to see how others fight.

Completely unaware that he was carrying a Pandora's box that could destroy the entire world, Alex was now preoccupied with getting to Pennsylvania Station to leave New York and escape the Blackwatch's purge of the Jantek researchers.

Before Alex could even board the train and leave, he was surrounded by Blackwatch agents. Frustration and rage suddenly overwhelmed him, and fueled by despair, he smashed the test tube on the ground, triggering a biohazard apocalypse. He was immediately shot dead by Blackwatch agents, but the virus began to spread to everyone in the station.

He Sanjin witnessed all of this without making a move. Although the man in front of him looked just like Mr. Mercer, whom he knew, he was not the senior he admired. To him, not personally killing the man was already a form of respect.

Alright, all preparations are complete. Now go down and take him away. He Sanjin leaped into the air, preparing to take Alex to a safe place.

Suddenly, a girl with long gray hair and wearing a hood appeared at the station. At first, she seemed unaware of the situation, but she quickly realized what was happening and stared intently at Alex's corpse.

"It's a Reincarnator!" He Sanjin's expression darkened immediately upon realizing the other party's identity. Tentacles resembling plants had sprouted from his arms at some unknown time. If Mu Xishuang were here, she would be astonished that this person had also enhanced the Blacklight Virus, and that his level of completion and evolution was even higher than that of the main character in the story.

"Wait, let's respect the dead and let him rest in peace as ashes." Although she was somewhat surprised to be assigned to this instance, and in this particular position and at this particular time, Bai Aina quickly got into focus, keeping a close eye on He Sanjin.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?!" Having never considered having anyone else join him in protecting Mr. Mercer, He Sanjin suddenly unleashed a palm strike. Under the effect of his Qi manipulation technique, the seemingly weightless and thin air was compressed together at an astonishing speed, forming a gas fist as tough as steel that slammed into Bai Aina.

It's no exaggeration to say that He Sanjin's casual strike, requiring no preparation, was enough to tear apart any modern land weapon. But Bai Aina merely frowned at her opponent, then released a repulsive force field to envelop the incoming gas punch.

Then, being able to bounce off was not impossible for Bai Aina after undergoing arduous training in the deep sea, but that would probably kill everyone in the station.

As usual, countless cellular spores were released. Baina commanded Nuen to release his mental power to disperse the crowd, while she herself prepared to go up and beat this guy who dared to make a move in a densely populated area to a pulp.

"Hmm? This is..." Noticing the cellular spores released by Bai Aina, Mu Xishuang stretched out two fingers to pick them up, and frowned after examining them carefully.

It's a bit troublesome. If these things are allowed to spread, the infection rate will drop significantly... Taking out her tablet from her storage space, Mu Xishuang prepared to do what she loved most, which was also her old profession.

Technology is incredibly convenient. However, due to the prohibition on the use of weapons of mass destruction, Mu Xishuang had to temporarily set aside the stolen nuclear weapons codes and permissions. Instead, she mobilized the Tomahawk conventional ground-attack missiles launched from the warships.

What kind of shady grouping is this? Red Archer and Shirou are even teaming up...

Chapter Nine BOOM Explosion

Amidst the towering flames, Pennsylvania Station was instantly reduced to dust, becoming a burning hell. He Sanjin emerged from the inferno carrying a charred corpse, glaring resentfully at his surroundings as a large group of Blackwatch soldiers surrounded him.

Is it them...?! They really are a bunch of lunatics, actually using weapons of mass destruction in this middle of nowhere. Although He Sanjin doesn't consider himself a good person, he has no liking for Blackwatch, who is no better.

When the Blackwatch squad leader arrived and saw the scene before him, he turned pale with fright. He couldn't help but mutter angrily, "Damn it, that bastard is using missiles recklessly! Is he planning to spread the whole thing around?!"

Only then did Baina leap out of the sea of ​​fire, followed by dozens of tiny figures, each only about half a meter tall. Although they looked like miniature dolls, each of these figures was carrying an unconscious civilian.

"Newn, get them out of here." With her superhuman hearing, Baina heard the squad leader's angry shouts and knew that besides Blackwatch, a third party was involved. It shouldn't be a character or force from the original story, after all… except for the ending, no one in the entire story had used missiles for bombing like this.

[Order received, commence execution.] Nunn began to arrange for the split entities created by Baina on the spot to take the injured civilians to a safe area. If the repulsive force field hadn't been activated in time, these people would probably have been turned into charred corpses.

He Sanjin was unwilling to stay here any longer and prepared to leave immediately. But how could Bai Aina let him leave with the protagonist of the original work like this? With a flick of her wrist, she directly grabbed Alex's corpse with her launched palm.

"Get out of the way!" A muscular arm suddenly emerged from behind He Sanjin, knocking away Bai Aina's palm. At the same time, a rapidly rotating energy flow formed in the palm of that arm, quickly expanding into a huge blue sphere of light with a diameter of two meters.

"Super Giant Rasengan!" A blue ball of light shot out and hurtled directly toward Bai Aina.

With a clap and a push, Bai Aina once again opened her repulsive field, sealing the ball inside the cube. Then, like kicking a ball, she kicked the cube directly towards He Sanjin.

"What a damn nuisance." He Sanjin frowned as he kicked the cube high into the air, then stomped his foot on the ground. Immediately afterward, five enormous hands rose from the concrete ground, each covered in rough, brown skin like tree bark, from which flowed a red, magma-like fluid. "You like to store things? Fine, show me what you can store!"

"Five-attribute Giant Rasengan! Five in a row, fire!" Five super-giant Giant Rasengans, faster and stronger than before, instantly formed. Relying on the excellent energy reserves of the Blacklight Virus, He Sanjin's chakra was comparable to that of a Tailed Beast, and with the ninjutsu directly engraved in his nerves, he was able to instantly create five Rasengans with a power stronger than missiles.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Fire Release: Great Flame Rasengan, Water Release: Vortex Spinning Hammer, Lightning Release: Lightning Spinning Ball, Earth Release: Earth Spinning Heaven-Shaking Core. Using chakra of all five attributes simultaneously, He Sanjin's attack was enough to raze the entire Central District to the ground.

"You think you can just pretend like that? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Bai Aina stepped her left foot back slightly, as if she was preparing for something.

Completely unprepared for such a clash of titans, the Blackwatch team was utterly dumbfounded; their common sense had been completely shattered on this day.

With a cold laugh, just as He Sanjin was about to blast the thing into the ground, the five giant hands created using the Blacklight Virus were silently severed. Before the five pellets could even disperse, they instantly turned into energy streams, ready to escape.

Suddenly appearing on the battlefield, the blonde girl swung her one-handed sword, severing the enormous hand that was even more resilient than a solid iron pillar. Then, she made a hand seal, using Quen to trap all the escaping energy streams within a blue sphere of light.

Bai Aina, who was prepared, stepped forward and rushed towards He Sanjin at a speed faster than a cannonball. The spirit of the sea formed by the True Martial Dolphin Fist struck him head-on.

He Sanjin, struck head-on by the Dolphin Fist, let out a muffled groan, his body emitting an unnatural cracking sound. However, he did not intend to linger in the fight. Instead, he used the force of the punch to propel himself backward, creating a massive tornado while cradling the charred corpse, propelling himself far away.

"Thank you for your help just now." Bai Aina was not in a hurry to chase after them. After all, it's best not to pursue a cornered enemy, and she had more important things to do now.

"You're welcome, I'm sorry I'm late." The blonde girl sheathed the silver-looking one-handed sword and introduced herself. "My name is Latia, a lone reincarnator. I was just at the station thanking you for your tentacles, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

As she spoke, Latia showed off her character card. Baina glanced at it and saw that it was a five-star Reincarnator... and she even showed the main quest!

[Main Mission: Ensure that New York City's population does not fall below 20% of its current level before the story concludes.]

Bai Aina also glanced at her main quest, but the answer surprised her, as this quest was completely different from the ones she had encountered before.

[A celestial phenomenon descends from the sky, blood surges from the earth, and humanity is rendered inhuman. In this largest city in America, a catastrophe is about to unfold, one that will upend the entire world.]

[And the one capable of bringing about such a disaster... is none other than a reincarnator who has transcended these 'plot worlds'.]

Whether you save the world or not is not up to you, but whether justice is served for the innocent who have died is your most important task.

Main Quest: Kill two Reincarnators.
