Chapter 438: World-Startling Thunder Roar
"Is that kind of thing worth you showing such expressions?"
"Is your captain being killed by a casual blow from me such an unacceptable thing for you?"
Kaito Shirogane's voice wasn't loud, his tone as flat as if chatting with old friends. His hands hung naturally at his sides, his footsteps so light that not a single sound appeared as he walked towards the Reincarnator frozen in place.
At the same time, the movements and auras of the surrounding Black Ball Team members and yokai had completely fallen into his capture.
Including Kyou Hanaki's horrified expression.
Kaito didn't think instantly killing the Osaka Captain was anything remarkable.
In a worldview like Gantz, which could be called the true ancestor of the infinite genre, these Black Ball Team members could only add rewards obtained from completing missions to themselves through technological weapons and equipment.
It wasn't as convenient as [Reincarnators] like him who could freely strengthen attributes, bloodlines, and abilities.
Therefore, these veterans in the Black Ball Team were ultimately still ordinary people, just using some weapons and equipment far superior to current Earth technology.
Even the American Black Ball Team members appearing in the manga later were mostly just a group of soldiers using these weapons to fight more efficiently.
Ultimately, they were just mortals.
Kaito lowered his eyelids, not looking at anyone present at all when speaking.
He didn't take anyone present seriously. No individual here possessed the possibility of fighting him.
Kyou Hanaki's whole body was stiff. He only felt the nerves and muscles on his back freeze. He had clearly aimed the lock frame in the scope at the opponent. At this time, as long as he pressed the lock trigger first, even if the opponent was fast, he would definitely be able to...
But, he couldn't move.
Kyou Hanaki's finger pressing the trigger trembled like a spasm. He felt intimidated by the horrifying atmosphere, as if moving a finger would get him killed.
Anzu Yamasaki didn't understand what happened. Because she was too weak, she didn't even notice the terrible oppression emanating from Mercenary Tao.
She just instinctively hid behind the motorcycle when Mercenary Tao appeared, so naturally she didn't clearly see the scene where Nobuo Muroya's suit shattered and he died after being tapped lightly.
Seeing the 100-point BOSS Mercenary Tao skip her group directly and walk towards Blue Cloud at the farthest end, Anzu Yamasaki instinctively pulled out the small X-Gun at her waist. This gun was similar to the long gun in Kyou Hanaki's hand, just with shorter attack range, but equally terrible power.
The basic firearm granted by Gantz to Black Ball Team members, X-Gun, was a terrible weapon capable of ignoring biological epidermis and directly shooting invisible high-energy particle beams under the target's epidermis for explosion.
Most bodies of flesh and blood would be directly killed by this weapon.
Moreover, the scope of this weapon with perspective effect had a locking function. After locking the target, pressing shoot, regardless of whether you were aiming at the opponent at that time, the high-energy particle beam would shoot the locked target. After a delay of a few seconds, the high-energy particle beam would explode inside the target's body.
The common sense of the Black Ball Team was that no matter how powerful the alien, as long as they could be shot using these super-technological weapons granted by the Black Ball, they would almost certainly be killed.
Anzu Yamasaki was like this at this time. She pulled out the X-Gun and was about to raise it to aim from behind, but an arm extended from behind her and pressed down her arm.
"Don't shoot..."
Anzu Yamasaki turned her head and saw Kazuo Kuwabara, who had severe sexual dependency syndrome. At this time, his naked upper body was covered in cold sweat.
Blue Cloud stood stiffly in place, struggling violently in his heart. He had naturally heard of Mercenary Tao's fierce name. Seeing the opponent's name at the Black Ball before, he still harbored fluke psychology, thinking the opponent wouldn't necessarily appear on his side.
But now...
"You, are out of luck."
Kaito grabbed Blue Cloud's neck with his right hand. Meridian-like protrusions appeared immediately on the black Gantz Suit. He had exerted the suit's performance to the extreme. This suit could let ordinary people exert nearly 10 times their ability.
For a low-to-mid rank Reincarnator like him who was already stronger than ordinary people, it could make his strength, speed, and defense ability approach the extreme value of the First Ladder.
Blue Cloud felt a burning stinging pain on the skin where Mercenary Tao grabbed his neck. That was extreme fear causing abnormal reactions in his nerves.
He could endure no more and roared, [Arm Strength Enhancement]! Hand muscles bulged explosively instantly. Turning violently, a boom sounded in the air.
At this moment, strength completely touching the extreme value erupted fully from Blue Cloud's hand.
The air roared dully; a large area of air was evacuated.
The bald man George Shimaki, crawling out from a pile of rotten meat on the concrete floor, just got up and saw this blow fully erupted by Blue Cloud.
He had never seen anyone else erupt with an attack of this posture. He drew his blade smoothly, running wildly towards Mercenary Tao.
Kaito's black long hair was blown open by the strong wind, but the corner of his eye turned to look at the air on the other side.
There, Hachiro Oka, using Gantz equipment frequency modulation to achieve complete optical invisibility, shrank his pupils. Holding the Gantz War Blade with both hands, his body stiffened for an instant.
In the next moment, Bang!
An invisible force hit Hachiro Oka with a boom. Hachiro Oka looked at the attack prompt on the [Gantz Mecha] (Gorilla Suit) panel, completely failing to see the form of the opponent's attack clearly.
Bang!
Transparent ripple-like shockwaves exploded out of thin air. Blue Cloud's full-force strike raised a wild wind. Shimaki secretly cheered in his heart. The suit's performance was pushed to the extreme. taking a step, he arrived behind Mercenary Tao. The nano-warblade extended a one-meter blade, slashing fully at the neck.
Pfft.
A breeze brushed past Kaito. He extended his right hand; Blue Cloud's swollen fist landed in his palm. He raised his left hand, pinching Shimaki's war blade by his ear.
The violent strength of the two after suit enhancement disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea. Nothing happened, completely vanishing within those two palms.
Shimaki looked in astonishment at the opponent pinching his sword with just two fingers. He tried hard to pull it out, but to no avail.
What kind of strength is this...
Blue Cloud's hot blood in his brain turned icy cold in an instant. He opened his mouth to beg for mercy.
"Mercenary Tao, don't..."
Crack~ Splurt!
Shimaki felt his blade snap with a crack. In the next moment, that broken blade stabbed into Blue Cloud's open mouth and pierced out from the back of his head.
"Ugh... woo..."
Splurt!
Another black blade light. Shimaki felt his neck heat up, followed by a large amount of blood gushing out.
He staggered two steps, clutching his neck, blinking his eyes, only to see the broken blade pulled out by Mercenary Tao again. Blue Cloud swayed twice and fell dejectedly. His vision also turned black rapidly; strength and body temperature left him quickly.
Thump.
Shimaki also fell backward.
[You killed Shimaki]
[You killed Reincarnator ST23378011 in the Purge Mission. Purge Mission progress increased]
Scarlet luster began to appear. In the next moment, Kaito disappeared instantly.
Hum!
Invisible gravity waves fell from the sky, smashing Shimaki's corpse along with the ground into pieces with a boom, turning into a puddle of blood.
A huge circular pit nearly a meter deep appeared on the concrete floor.
"Damn it, who fired!"
Kyou Hanaki cursed. Seeming because Blue Cloud and Shimaki's attack just now made him feel he was no longer immobilized by fear, he immediately ran to his monocycle, preparing to retreat a distance first.
In the next moment, several monocycles roared from the direction opposite the stadium.
More than twenty members wearing black suits shouted and raised firearms in their hands, starting to fire randomly towards this side.
Hum!
Hum!
Hum!
Gravity waves fell constantly from the sky.
Kyou Hanaki was a beat slower, seeing the monocycle in front of him shatter with a boom.
"It's other Black Ball Teams!"
Anzu Yamasaki exclaimed. That group of people had completely surrounded the huge square.
"Where is the Reincarnation Alien?!"
"Hey, Osaka Team, where did you hide the full-score BOSS?!"
Kazuo Kuwabara pulled Anzu Yamasaki down to squat, looking at this group of suddenly appearing Black Ball Team members. His gaze turned constantly, wanting to find that terrifying figure of Mercenary Tao.
But he didn't see the opponent's trace anywhere around. In the next moment, he looked up and indeed saw that person standing in the air out of thin air.
"Careful, up there!"
He finally couldn't help shouting.
[You encountered a new mission · Survival]
[Mission Details: Gantz issued a mission to hunt Reincarnation Aliens. Survive in the mission]
[Reward: Obtain C-A Class Singularity rewards based on completion degree]
Kaito looked at the humans driving motorcycles and firing randomly below, the expression on his face becoming cruel bit by bit.
He took a deep breath. Current began to push inside his body. The current accumulated in [Thunder Emperor's Heart] immediately started running under the push of that energy.
In Kaito's abdomen, the first acupoint began to accumulate electric light.
Kaito's chest swelled abnormally. Harboring tyrannical thoughts, Kaito exhaled and shouted.
"Ha!"
[World-Startling Thunder Roar]!
Boom!
Blazing white shockwaves accompanied by instantly lighting up thunder, followed by a terrifying explosion with a boom.
Smoke clouds exploded from the ground below in an instant, as if a cloud bomb exploded among the crowd.
Kazuo Kuwabara only felt himself flying up as if riding clouds and mist in an instant.
Blood, residual limbs accompanied by a rich smell of blood, pervaded instantly, dyeing the periphery of the square completely into a scene like an apocalyptic cult movie.
