...
"Ah!"
Terrified screams only lasted for a moment before being muffled. Kaito Shirogane looked indifferently at this group of people more or less stained with blood. From their clothes, it could be seen that this group probably lived normal lives not long ago.
All wearing casual clothes that only urban people would wear, only now they became tattered.
"Don't scream... This is the Lord Envoy descending..."
"He killed the Hierarch. It must be because the Hierarch wasn't pious enough. Yes, for the past two days, the Hierarch kept telling me to pick out female believers separately. He was impious, he... deserved to die!"
A woman with disheveled hair spoke in a sharp, trembling voice. But while talking to herself, she seemed to convince herself. She suddenly kicked the Hierarch's corpse on the ground fiercely several times.
Then looking at the tall Kaito, she knelt down piously. Her palms faced up, forehead knocking on the ground, her whole body prostrating on the ground.
Kaito looked at the woman. The opponent was clearly scared to death in her heart, cursing that dead Hierarch without any piety.
"You, are not pious either."
Hum~ Splurt!
A golden beam pierced through the back of the woman's head. The woman's body went limp instantly.
This scene made those people on the periphery even more terrified. But what amused Kaito was that no one chose to run away.
These guys were scared to death in their hearts, yet for various reasons, they would rather believe that this brutal guy appearing here suddenly was the envoy sent by some Lord of Destruction to cleanse the human world, than run outside to face that nightmare-like scene.
The corner of Kaito's mouth hooked up. [Mantra] had long perceived the scene outside clearly. Outside this stadium was probably the cruelest and most terrible illustration in strange tales novels now.
Dozens of strange and twisted yokai were devouring the flesh and blood of those unlucky ones unable to hide inside because the stadium gate was locked.
Reincarnators, as always, showed their reckless side in mission worlds. In the original timeline of the Gantz world, the "Hyakki Yagyo" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) event indeed existed.
In the original work's Osaka Arc, to crusade against the first 100-point BOSS [Nurarihyon], the protagonist Tokyo Team was teleported to Osaka to face enemies named [Yokai Aliens] together with the Osaka Team.
That was a group of aliens who came to Earth in an even more distant era, thus leaving many legends in this world.
Nurarihyon even claimed to have been worshipped as [God] by humans in many eras.
But compared to the scene of Hyakki Yagyo in the original work, outside could probably be called hell on earth now.
Crash!
Crisp sound of glass shattering rang out. Probably above the roof of this huge stadium, there were lighting channels made of special glass. At this moment, that glass was shattered.
Huge friction sounds began to appear from above the ventilation ducts.
At this moment, everyone could no longer remain calm, fleeing in all directions frantically.
They had gone through a nightmare-like three days in Osaka. Man-eating yokai were everywhere. The nerves of this group of people were about to snap. Thinking that group of yokai was about to rush in for a feast, they all ran around like headless flies.
Bang!
The ventilation duct overhead was finally smashed.
At this moment, Kaito's Purge Mission also loaded successfully.
[Purge Mission Start]
[Mission Description: Please purge Reincarnator UH50522273 within 14 days. You will obtain location information of Reincarnator squad members including the target every hour]
[Reward: In this world, Cleaner will obtain extra drop bonus. Killing Reincarnators in this world will definitely drop Cleaner Scarlet Drop Card] (Cleaner Scarlet Drop Card allows designated target extraction)
[Cleaner EX051, first location information announcement in progress]
It was as if many location information appeared in Kaito's brain instantly. As long as he concentrated on thinking, he could not only get coordinates but also seem to see the images of coordinate points.
Kaito was increasingly satisfied with this Cleaner job.
Bang!
A black shadow smashed down in front of Kaito. This was a large yokai over ten meters long.
It had the naked upper body of a human woman, but the lower body was a hard purple-black body like a centipede.
The vitality of humans around almost made this yokai uncontrollable. She pounced on the nearest Kaito instantly. The centipede-like lower body wrapped around Kaito's body, and the upper body hugged Kaito from behind.
Opening her mouth full of blood, she bit down on Kaito's neck.
"How could this be... How did we become aliens..."
[Blue Cloud], a [White Temple] Reincarnator wearing a black [Gantz Suit], stood in the Osaka Black Ball Team's room, his heart sinking constantly.
He tried to use Omega's telepathy to contact the other party but got no response.
Just now, the Osaka Team, which should have ended the mission, was suddenly teleported to the Black Ball room by Gantz again, and a new mission was issued.
[Mission: Kill Reincarnation Aliens]
The mission name almost made Blue Cloud's heart stop beating. The Osaka Team with many strong hands didn't realize the problem, just checking the targets appearing on the Black Ball.
[Reincarnation Alien: Bonnie]
[Feature: Fast, Agile]
[Points: 45]
[Reincarnation Alien: Lancer]
[Feature: Flying Dragon, Calm]
[Points: 70]
[Reincarnation Alien: Omega]
[Feature: Alert]
[Points: 55]
...
Information appeared line by line. Blue Cloud was more startled the more he looked. The sound of his heart beating was too loud, making [Hachiro Oka], standing alone against the wall in the room, cast his gaze on him.
Blue Cloud was afraid his name would appear among them. But what relieved him was that the Black Ball seemed to only mark those most powerful veterans, not including his name.
[Reincarnation Alien: Cleaner · Duke]
[Feature: Strong!! Dangerous!]
[Points: 100]
...
[Reincarnation Alien: Cleaner · Mercenary Tao]
[Feature: Strong!! Extremely Dangerous!!]
[Points: 100]
"Actually two 100-point BOSSes. This [Reincarnation Alien] is not simple."
Osaka Captain Nobuo Muroya, who had taken 100 points 4 times, exhaled smoke, looking at Hachiro Oka.
Even in their Black Ball Team with several members who had taken 100 points multiple times, the only person who had defeated a 100-point BOSS alone was Hachiro Oka.
Hachiro Oka didn't speak, just still looking at Blue Cloud. This made others also realize something was wrong. Blue Cloud had shown extraordinary skills in previous missions.
Blue Cloud became more nervous. Coincidentally at this time, their figures began to disappear bit by bit from the top of their heads.
Gantz started teleportation directly. They would soon be teleported directly in front of [Reincarnation Aliens]!
"Ah!"
Just as the Osaka Team completed teleportation, Anzu Yamasaki let out a cry of alarm. Yokai feasting on various human corpses around instantly sensed the appearance of new humans, screaming and pouncing on Osaka Team members.
But the Osaka Team with multiple members possessing multiple 100-point weapons reacted instantly. The dark-skinned bald George Shimaki pulled out a nano-warblade, instantly beheading the pouncing yokai.
Looking around, Hachiro Oka had already disappeared invisibly.
"Hey hey, did this teleport us directly into the yokai's nest?"
Hum~ Bang!
In the sky, gravity field smashed down with a crash. Several yokai instantly turned into puddles of blood.
Gravity Gun, as a 100-point weapon of the Black Ball, was extremely powerful. Osaka Team fired several Gravity Guns in succession, quickly clearing a large area.
Taking advantage of this time, Blue Cloud took out an electronic communicator from his backpack and hung it on his ear, contacting teammates immediately.
"Captain, what exactly happened? How did we become kill targets of the Black Ball Team?!"
Lancer didn't speak, only muffled groans and terrible dragon roars were heard. Then [Omega]'s voice appeared.
"Little Blue Cloud, run quickly. We probably got into big trouble. Now not only did the Space dispatch Cleaners, but probably Multi-Faced Aliens also want to catch us..."
Omega fully realized what happened. It was Multi-Faced Aliens. Multi-Faced Aliens realized the existence of [Reincarnators].
No, further, Multi-Faced Aliens realized the existence of [Infinite Dimensional Space] and even other worlds.
Therefore, [Ghost Talent] could enter the [Room of Truth]. It wasn't Ghost Talent who found Multi-Faced Aliens, but Multi-Faced Aliens targeted [Ghost Talent]!
Multi-Faced Aliens were a race truly worthy of being called [Gods] in this world. Their civilization had developed to an incredible level.
Technologies like Gantz were the minimum technology passed to Earthlings by Multi-Faced Aliens to fight against Four-Eyed Aliens.
Multi-Faced Aliens could not only use [Information] to create life and destroy life with a thought, but also observe future timelines, observing the so-called reincarnation of souls, and when and where the other party would be born.
Omega trembled because of his own guess. He sweated profusely, realizing no wonder the Space didn't erase [Ghost Talent] directly, but forced them to purge [Ghost Talent].
After their squad couldn't do it, the Space directly opened the Purge Mission, deploying Cleaner Reincarnators.
He realized it was probably precisely because his squad and the 74960 squad went too far in this world that Multi-Faced Aliens noticed this anomaly, finally capturing the existence of Reincarnators.
Hearing Omega's analysis, Blue Cloud completely panicked. A trouble of this magnitude wasn't something an ordinary Reincarnator squad like theirs could face.
"I found the location of a Reincarnation Alien!"
At this time, Kazuo Kuwabara, who was always naked from the waist up due to intense sexual hunger, shouted.
Everyone immediately gathered towards the stadium with blood-stained outer walls.
Kyou Hanaki sitting on the [Gantz Bike] (Monocycle) used the computer connected to the bike, combined with the bike screen possessing perspective effect, scanned the stadium and found the trace of that Reincarnation Alien inside.
He pressed the analyze key, and target information appeared on the computer.
[Reincarnation Alien: Cleaner · Mercenary Tao, Points: 100]
Kyou Hanaki didn't expect to find a full-score BOSS right away.
"Great, it's that full-score BOSS, Mercenary Tao!"
Blue Cloud's face stiffened; his footsteps paused immediately. Looking at the few people already at the stadium entrance, he said:
"I won't fight you for this BOSS. I'll go find other... Reincarnation Aliens first."
Blue Cloud's performance immediately made others feel he was more suspicious. Shimaki directly blocked in front of him with his blade horizontally.
"You seem to be hiding something, Blue Cloud..."
Whoosh~
Sound of breaking through the air rang out. Shimaki reacted instantly. Turning around, he only saw a fair body crashing towards him. He subconsciously raised his hands to catch.
Boom!
Terrible force erupted in an instant. Shimaki, along with that fair and plump body, flew out dozens of meters directly off the ground, smashing into the street with a crash.
This scene stunned everyone else. Looking back, they only saw the stadium gate directly shattered by that "female corpse" flying over just now.
A human dragging a huge yokai limb walked out of the stadium. He chewed constantly in his mouth, finally spitting out a mouthful.
"Really no meat at all, Centipede Woman."
Kaito didn't expect the first yokai he cooked wasn't very successful. To quickly get 50 Constitution points, he was ready to boil and eat all yokai seen in this world.
While turning his gaze, he saw the guy turning to leave. As if the Space was deliberately prompting him, the words "Purge Mission" began to flash constantly.
Blue Cloud froze in place. Icy killing intent enveloped him. His face was pale. Clearly wearing a Gantz Suit, this basic strengthening suit could also let ordinary people exert nearly 10 times their limit ability, an out-and-out newbie artifact.
But wearing this thing, in front of Mercenary Tao, he still felt like being stared at by an evil ghost, his whole body turning cold.
Hum!
Because Shimaki was smashed flying with one blow, Nobuo Muroya also realized the toughness of this 100-point BOSS. He raised the Gravity Gun abruptly, locking onto Kaito instantly and firing.
Watching the target standing in place without reaction, Nobuo Muroya breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
Gravity Gun, this kind of weapon, was difficult for flesh and blood to resist. Even reinforced concrete would be smashed into a depression by the gravity field.
As long as it was still a body of flesh and blood, it would definitely...
Boom!
Gravity field fell. A huge pit of several meters radius appeared in an instant. Nobuo Muroya was delighted. Smashed to pieces?!
In the next moment, a hand appeared behind his head as if out of thin air.
Knock.
Kaito seemed to tap lightly.
Then he continued walking towards that Reincarnator.
Kyou Hanaki, who also raised his firearm aiming at Kaito, froze in place. He looked at Nobuo Muroya in disbelief.
"Hey, your suit..."
The suit capable of easily blocking bullet shots began to leak blue liquid at this moment. That was the sign of complete suit damage.
Nobuo Muroya swayed and turned his head. Dark purple blood flowed out from his eyes, nose, and ears. He staggered two steps, fell dejectedly, and ceased to breathe.
"Dead?!"
"Wearing a suit, tapped lightly, actually died?!"
Kyou Hanaki couldn't believe his eyes.
Terror. This 100-point BOSS · Mercenary Tao was terrifying to the extreme!
