Chapter 436: Multi-Faced Aliens, Cleaners Enter
The woman codenamed [Bonnie] was completely unaffected in the ghoul-infested neighborhood. This kind of "zombie" creature relying solely on biting as an attack method could hardly cause much impact on a Reincarnator approaching the extreme value of the First Ladder.
Even those Wights (Others) hiding among the ghouls meant nothing to her.
Obviously, this kind of thing wasn't the means used by that [White Temple] squad to attack her team, but more like a counterattack in attitude.
Because her team, in Osaka where they were located, used items to start the "Hyakki Yagyo" segment in advance, even luring out the rare "100-point Alien" [Nurarihyon] in the Gantz world ahead of time.
Hyakki Yagyo caused Osaka to almost collapse. The huge turmoil caused made White Temple unable to hide, exposing the team's whereabouts.
Therefore, the opposing team returned the favor with such an action, descending the dark creatures · Wights from the [A Song of Ice and Fire] world upon Tokyo.
And using the characteristic that Wights could create ghouls, they caused huge chaos in a short time, successfully making her team hiding within engage in battle with another squad probably named [Whiplash].
Bang!
Bonnie stepped in the air. Blazing white shockwaves made her change direction by ninety degrees in mid-air, falling from the sky to the ground. At the moment of landing, her body crouched low like a civet cat. Her tough body dissolved all force. A circle of translucent ripples spread out to the surroundings.
Several people standing on the roof here looked wary. Four or five optical instruments pointed from the roof to the surroundings, conducting thermal scanning. Living creatures, ghouls, and Wights were extremely obvious in these optical instruments.
Those living people collapsing and fleeing, being pressed down and gnawed by ghouls; dead people whose heat flowed with blood all over the ground and cooled rapidly; and those... Reincarnators sitting upright at the round table behind the Shibuya army!
"Bonnie, just like the rumors, White Temple is very strong. Even counting the Gantz Suits, we probably cannot match them."
The speaker had black short hair draped to the shoulders, features delicate. If not listening to the voice, one couldn't even distinguish gender at first glance. He was [Lotus], the strategist of the [74960] squad, or in their own words, the [Sage].
This squad could keep the core members intact in more than 5 mission worlds and gradually stabilize the team, relying on Lotus's wisdom and Bonnie's power.
Bonnie's pupils shrank abnormally. Without needing binoculars, she saw that group of people five kilometers away.
There were seven people on the other side. Four sat at the round table, looking calm. The other three stood behind them, constantly looking around, probably members recruited recently.
"Four Second Ladder Reincarnators, double our number. Their captain [Lancer] is said to be a rare Reincarnator who broke through extreme values in both Constitution and Spirit attributes, probably even stronger than you."
Lotus's voice was clear. He closed his eyes, also using spiritual power to perceive the situation on the other side.
And they knew that those few people from White Temple seemed to sit there quietly, but were actually also using abilities to probe the reality of their side.
"Once they confirm we didn't exchange for enough high-rank weapons and items from the Black Ball, they will very likely raid over. We cannot retrieve that [Shikon Jewel] fragment from Osaka in a short time, so we cannot quickly attract those yokai here."
While Lotus analyzed, others listened quietly without impatience.
All along, 74960 relied on this absolute trust in other teammates to overcome numerous difficulties.
They could be cruel to plot characters, cruel to enemies, but they had unreserved trust in teammates.
Bonnie nodded. She felt a dangerous aura from the two people on that round table.
"Wait two more days. Two days later is the full moon. By then, I should be able to instantly kill those two, then suppress [Lancer]. It's enough for you to work together to hold off the remaining one."
Bonnie's voice was somewhat soft and glutinous, with a nasal tone, not at all like a powerhouse who just cruelly beheaded several Reincarnators.
She looked up at the sky. That moon covered by dark clouds was already very close to full moon.
Two days later, on the night of the full moon, she could liberate the power named [Sulong] (Moon Lion), changing the power balance.
On the other side, on the road of Shibuya known as the "world's busiest intersection," heavy barriers had been built at this time. Heavy machine guns were set up, and even artillery was deployed.
First, Osaka erupted with terrible Hyakki Yagyo, causing more than two million people to encounter a terrifying night. According to incomplete statistics, at least over a hundred thousand people died, hundreds of thousands were missing, and those left disabled or mad were hard to estimate.
That disaster shocked people all over the world and also made Japanese politicians highly nervous. When ghoul cholera broke out in Tokyo, they reacted quickly, immediately carried out regional quarantine, and dispatched troops to station.
Several people from White Temple set up the round table behind the army. They had special reputation items capable of obtaining extremely high reputation relationships with the [Japanese Government]. This [Japanese Government] wasn't limited to which government, as long as it was recognized as the government currently in charge of this Japanese territory, it could work.
"The three people on the roof are probably the core members of that team. Hmm, except for that woman, the other two are not much of a threat."
The man with his back to that building had a blue ponytail. He closed his eyes, corners of his mouth hooked up, sensing the spiritual scan of the opposing Reincarnator squad clearly.
"I have an impression of that woman. Seems to be a Reincarnator named [Bonnie]. Her avatar is indeed this appearance. The taijutsu used to kill that magician of another team just now is also very close to the description in intelligence."
"Bloodline from the Mink Tribe of the One Piece world, combined with Rokushiki. Busoshoku Haki intensity unknown. A very standard Second Ladder Reincarnator, strength not bad."
Speaking of this, the man revealed a mocking smile.
"They probably plan to delay time, waiting until the full moon the night after tomorrow to act against us, using the powerful amplification of [Sulong] transformation to instantly kill other veterans except the captain..."
"It's just a pity..."
The man talked to himself. The man sitting directly opposite him, wearing silver-white heavy armor all over, raised his head at this time. His face was shockingly rotting flesh.
"It's just a pity, they won't live until then, heh..."
[Omega]'s hand hidden under the table trembled constantly, making several ghouls sitting on the table constantly make various movements.
Their [White Temple] was powerful, but they absolutely wouldn't pose drinking tea at a round table before the battlefield due to some arrogance.
Everything was to quickly dismantle this somewhat overly "dangerous" 74960 squad.
Omega advocated "Information Theory," believing so-called strategies were just reasonable planning based on the information gap between both sides.
He knew the information of both teams better than that Lotus of the opposing squad. Therefore, he could scheme against the opponent.
Whoosh!
As if conforming to his thoughts, the sound of some giant creature flapping wings rang from above the cloud layer.
He slowly got up, then said to the official in front of him.
"Fire. On that building are the murderers who created the Osaka massacre."
The official was about to ask back, but his eyes blurred for a while. He had been mind-controlled by Omega, issuing orders mechanically.
"Launch attack!"
On the building, Bonnie suddenly shuddered. The fur on her back stood up one by one. A dangerous premonition appeared. Then Observation Haki perceived the source of the attack.
"Careful, there's a dragon above the clouds!"
Roar!
Huge dragon roar rang from above the cloud layer. A figure wearing blue-white armor, sitting on the back of this black giant dragon over a hundred meters long, dived down from the cloud layer.
The cloud layer covering the moon surged instantly. Those huge pitch-black wings seemed to block all light.
After Bonnie spoke, others reacted immediately. The middle-aged man who hadn't spoken to participate in the discussion grabbed the team strategist Lotus without a word, turned around and leaped down towards the rear of the building.
Bonnie stepped with [Geppo] (Moonwalk) again, turning into an afterimage, bouncing several times in the air, shooting towards the black dragon like electricity.
Dragon species' vision and intelligence exceeded ordinary humans. The black dragon [Balerion] was extremely ferocious, opening its giant mouth directly at the flying Bonnie. A mouthful of dragon fire sprayed out instantly.
Boom!
Bonnie stepped dozens of times in the air instantly. Combined with the exaggerated mobility of the Mink Tribe, she changed direction by ninety degrees in mid-air again, folding directly to cross the black dragon's body from below.
With the cover of dragon fire, the black dragon couldn't see Bonnie's figure at all.
Pfft, accompanied by inaudible sound of air breaking, Bonnie flew backwards like a civet cat arriving behind Lancer. Electric light flashed on her claws. Busoshoku Haki covered simultaneously. One claw stabbed towards Lancer's neck.
Even heavy armor could hardly resist her strong Haki.
Lancer wore blue-white heavy armor. His eyes were calm as water, as if he didn't capture Bonnie's attack at all. He just held the heavy sword hanging on the dragon's back in front of him with both hands.
In the next moment, sword light exploded out of thin air.
A blazing white shockwave erupted. Bonnie's pupils trembled, seeing the Busoshoku Haki on her hand shatter. When her right hand fell from the air, her chest was also cut open by the sword light.
So fast... how can it be so fast...
Bang!
Bonnie smashed onto the ground from nearly a thousand meters high like a meteor. The huge shockwave completely overturned the ghoul tide.
And in the air, Balerion was still spitting dragon fire. The intense breath was not just scorching, but also carried powerful impact force, destroying the building completely with a crash.
The two jumping from the air barely dodged the dragon fire breath. Lotus knew if [Ama] was a second later, he would have been killed by this breath.
His face was pale. White Temple's raid was so decisive, completely guarding against whether they had high-rank Gantz weapons.
His brain worked at high speed, quickly realizing that the Tokyo Gantz Team probably had members fallen into the opponent's hands.
No, more accurately, because Gantz Team members couldn't discuss the Black Ball with ordinary people, White Temple should also have members joined the Osaka Gantz Team!
He thought constantly, but Ama holding him suddenly warned loudly.
"Careful, there are enemies below."
Standing under the collapsed building, a man wearing a black jacket and a white baseball cap extended his hands from his pockets. Facing the dragon fire in the sky, his hands gripped the air, then pulled down forcefully.
Dragon fire ignited again, turning into a huge fire dragon, falling from the air, hitting the two who hadn't landed yet in one blow.
The two instantly burned into firemen.
"Easy peasy, wrap it up."
The man said a jingle, watching the captain riding the black dragon fall from the air.
Lancer jumped off the black dragon's back. Seeing the man holding his companion still moving in the flames, he pulled out the heavy sword. In his mind was the intelligence from the team strategist Omega.
"That guy codenamed [Amaterasu] should be a defense-specialized Reincarnator, having some talent for absorbing damage. A good seedling..."
Lancer heard the implication, took a step forward. The heavy sword instantly drew a cross.
Ama felt severe pain all over his body. His arms had left his body. What made him even more desperate was that Lotus's head also fell from his arms at the same time. The opponent's delicate face was full of unwillingness.
"I can give you a chance, let you..."
[Warning! Reincarnator KT35277411, your team member UH50522273 (Ghost Talent) is contacting Special Creation · Room of Truth. Please eliminate Reincarnator UH50522273 (Ghost Talent) immediately]
[Warning! Your team has violated Space regulations. Please complete the purge within 1 minute]
[59...]
[58...]
Lancer stopped halfway through his words. Scarlet prompts appeared in front of him. His sword rested on the neck of the man whose arms were cut off.
On the other side, standing behind the army starting to bombard targets, Omega also changed his expression greatly, looking at the prompt in front of him.
[Ghost Talent]...
Didn't Ghost Talent take people to Germany to find that rich man who could manufacture Black Balls? How could he contact Special Creation · Room of Truth?!
Room of Truth... Relevant data immediately surged in his mind.
That was... the place where [Multi-Faced Aliens] appeared!
"What to do, Lancer? That guy Ghost Talent probably encountered the Multi-Faced Aliens..."
Lancer lowered his eyes, contemplating. Multi-Faced Aliens were probably the most terrifying aliens in this world. No, that could probably be called [God].
How could such an existence intersect with Ghost Talent.
But now, they were still in Tokyo, Japan. Ghost Talent was estimated to be in Germany with a few people. Impossible to complete the purge at all.
He looked at the defeated 74960 squad on the scene, decisively beheaded the man in front with one sword strike, then said immediately:
"Retreat. Prepare to face the Purge Mission..."
"The Cleaners are coming."
The black dragon flapped its wings. Lancer just took off from the ground when he saw several figures wearing black Gantz Suits appearing not far away.
These were the Cleaners?!
In the next moment, more men and women wearing black Gantz Suits began to appear in Tokyo.
Space prompts also refreshed synchronously.
[World Main Line Changed]
[World Main Line: Survive until Purge Mission ends]
"Over there, it's Reincarnation Aliens!"
On the ground, among the Gantz Teams from all over the world wearing suits, someone had already discovered the huge black dragon and shouted loudly.
Special firearms from Gantz Black Balls aimed at the sky one by one.
In the strong smell of blood, a large number of figures swayed. Indistinct figures prayed in low voices, chanting words with some kind of madness.
Kaito opened his eyes, seeing himself appear in an empty stadium. Around him, a circle was formed by dozens of corpses.
Seeing Kaito appear, everyone around wept with joy.
"Did you see, everyone!"
"Our prayers, that merciful Lord has heard. The Devil's Envoy who will bring the world's chaos to an end together has descended to the human world!"
A man wearing a red and black robe, with his back to Kaito, opened his arms, clamoring to those humans kneeling in the stadium.
Splurt!
Kaito waved his hand casually. The opponent's head rotated a dozen times on his neck.
