Chapter 439: Cleaner Authority
"Ugh~ Pfft"
Kazuo Kuwabara felt his chest suffocating, opening his mouth to spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Anzu Yamasaki, blown away with him, lay seven or eight meters away at this moment. Her strengthening suit had become shriveled. The liquid in the buttons had completely drained. Her life or death was unknown.
Kuwabara struggled to sit up, but tried twice without success. He could only lie on the ground, looking around with blurred vision.
This place, worthy of being the famous "Hanshin Koshien Stadium" in Japan, was now strewn with corpses everywhere. Whether the yokai corpses killed by their shooting before, or the Black Ball Team members who just appeared in high profile.
They were scattered randomly in various places.
In the sky, that long-haired figure slowly landed from the air. Then, seemingly rummaging for something, he walked past those corpses one by one.
*[You obtained Drop Card 7]
Kaito Shirogane roughly calculated. The probability of drop cards appearing from these ordinary plot characters exceeded one-third.
Compared to mission worlds in the past, where only killing those named characters had a relatively high probability of drop cards appearing, the drop probability for such supporting characters whose names didn't even appear in the original work was almost less than 5%.
He was increasingly satisfied with this [Purge Mission] issued by the Space.
Not only did killing Reincarnators yield this kind of Scarlet Drop Card glowing with special golden light spots, but killing plot characters also had a high probability of obtaining rewards.
Moreover, the Space thoughtfully announced enemy coordinates for him every hour.
Wonderful!
Amidst his pleasure, Kaito casually tore off a section of a snake-like patterned yokai corpse nearby.
This scene made the crowd tentatively walking out from inside the stadium at this time lower their heads in fear.
Inside the stadium, they witnessed the scene of Kaito killing the Centipede Woman, a yokai with the upper body of a human female, and then cooking and eating the opponent's yokai body. This caused them great mental shock.
It turned out that besides yokai eating humans, humans could also eat yokai...
Of course, they weren't sure whether this envoy "summoned" by them counted as human or not.
Kaito picked up Drop Cards while crushing them.

[You used Drop Card (Blue)]
[You obtained 630 Dimensional Points]
[You obtained item · X-Gun (Blue)]

Kaito kept opening them. The quality of drop cards from this group of people was generally not high; the best was only Blue. But the items obtained were very powerful instead.

Although Kaito didn't become a member of the Black Ball Team, by opening Drop Cards, he quickly obtained three quite excellent technology-side items.
Besides this black strengthening suit, the other two firearms possessed unique advantages compared to common thermal weapons or even Gauss weapons in the Space.
And these were merely the most basic ones among the technologies granted by Multi-Faced Aliens.
Among Reincarnators, Kaito probably belonged to the category with the least application and acceptance of technology-side items.
He was born with a strong physique. The first world entering the Space was the Dragon Ball world. Afterward, he had been pursuing Martial Arts and physical transcendence power.
Firearms were only used a few times in the early stage.
Kaito played with the X-Gun in his hand. Even a Reincarnator like him without shooting specialization could use this gun easily.
By holding these items personally, Kaito had a clearer grasp of the Black Ball Team's combat power value.
Multi-Faced Aliens obviously only wanted to grant Earthlings weapons to kill other aliens, but didn't give corresponding protection capabilities.
Although the power of these firearms was considerable, their shortcomings were also very obvious.
The basic X-Gun could ignore target epidermis defense. If it really hit Kaito, Kaito would probably be disemboweled too. But the range of this firearm was only 9 meters.
Even with locking capability, Kaito's current speed was enough to easily escape from this attack range the moment the opponent pressed shoot.
Gravity Gun was the same. This kind of attack descending from the sky was highly destructive, but it took 1-2 seconds for gravity waves to fall. For Kaito, this attack had no threat at all.
"What I want is not things of this level..."
Kaito's gaze turned. Hachiro Oka's invisible tracks were completely captured by him.
The defensive ability of that Gorilla Suit was indeed good. In the attack of his [World-Startling Thunder Roar], it seemed only the Gorilla Suit was damaged. Hachiro Oka didn't lose mobility.
At this time, he took off the Gorilla Suit and still maintained invisibility.
Unfortunately, after being locked by his [Gaze of Arrogance], invisibility capability was impossible to be effective anymore.
Hachiro Oka tried moving two steps, finding that the monster's gaze locked onto him all along. He frowned, feeling somewhat cold in his heart.
The intensity of this 100-point BOSS was truly incredible. More than twenty Black Ball Team members were almost all killed by a shout?!
And perception ability was outstanding, ignoring invisibility capability;
Possessing flight capability, great strength, extremely strong destructive power. Ordinary strengthening suits couldn't resist attacks at all; one hit would kill...
How to defeat such an enemy?
Sweat began to flow from Hachiro Oka's forehead. He constantly thought about methods to defeat such an enemy, but no matter how he thought, he found that with his current strength, it seemed impossible to match.
Now, the high-rank strengthening suit was also damaged. Even if Gantz teleported the giant robot over, he had no chance to pilot it.
This kind of enemy...
Suddenly, Hachiro Oka realized that in this city already destroyed by yokai, there was still a guy who might be able to match the person in front of him!
That was their last failed mission. Because the number of yokai far exceeded expectations, their Osaka Team lost almost all newcomers. Even he only used invisibility ability to see those aliens with terrible aura from afar.
Among them, the Yokai Alien marked as [Nurarihyon] by the Black Ball was also a 100-point BOSS!
At this moment, to defeat the Reincarnation Alien in front of him, there was only that one possibility...
Hachiro Oka was a guy very good at finding alien mechanisms. He adapted to Gantz missions incomparably well. He treated all aliens as monsters and BOSSes in games.
Thinking about the mechanisms and solutions for various enemies.
Now, realizing he couldn't defeat Mercenary Tao, he thought of using another BOSS currently in this city to divert the disaster!
Kaito tilted his head, reading Hachiro Oka's thoughts completely. He didn't rush to kill the strongest member of the Osaka Team.
He remembered clearly that Gantz actually had another mechanism: when teleporting Black Ball members, it would teleport others in contact with Black Ball members together.
Using this mechanism, the Vampire Leader in the original work entered the space where Gantz was located.
Kaito was very curious about what rewards destroying the Black Ball would yield;
What rewards finding those chaebols in Japan controlling Black Balls would yield;
What rewards finding that rich man in Germany manufacturing Black Balls, that rich man's daughter who could receive information from Multi-Faced Aliens, would yield...
Kaito had consumed all resources on him before. His greed was unrestrained, and he didn't plan to restrain it.
He wanted to plunder everything he wanted to his heart's content in this world!
Tokyo, among dilapidated buildings. The Self-Defense Forces constantly trying to bombard before had turned into debris.
A giant robot with a body size exceeding five hundred meters lay across the Tokyo urban area. Several buildings around collapsed.
The lights on the giant robot also began to extinguish one by one.
In the ruins, Lancer sitting on the dragon corpse was somewhat exhausted, while Omega, who lost a leg, leaned not far away.
"It's all my fault, Lancer. I shouldn't have wanted to seize Black Ball technology. I should have thought long ago that Multi-Faced Aliens are high-dimensional races. Any possibility of contact with such guys is dangerous..."
He regretted extremely now.
Lancer didn't want to pursue this issue. He was the captain. Since he agreed to split manpower to try to obtain Gantz technology at that time, he naturally had to bear the consequences.
"Gather the others. Those Black Ball Team people might use invisibility to try sneaking attacks on us. If newcomers can't survive, discard them directly."
"74960 should only have that Bonnie still alive. Our Team Battle Points are sufficient. As long as we don't encounter those two Cleaners, returning to the Space alive is not a big problem."
Omega also cheered up again. He knew at this time that Blue Cloud was dead. Combined with the telepathy and spiritual perception at the last moment, Blue Cloud most likely died at the hands of Mercenary Tao.
Mercenary Tao, this guy, was actually one of the Cleaners. This was very bad news.
"Since Mercenary Tao appeared in Osaka, then theoretically, the other Cleaner should appear here with us. But the opponent didn't appear while we were fighting the Black Ball Team..."
[You have triggered a Special Event, Safety Regulations]
[Event Details: Cleaner DH88417633 has contacted Special Creation · Room of Truth, suffered infection from high-dimensional creatures. Now all Reincarnators surviving in this world, please kill Cleaner DH88417633 within 14 days]
*[Event Reward: Cleaner Authority 1]
[Event Failure Penalty: Erasure]
Scarlet words interrupted the conversation between Omega and Lancer. The two finally knew at this time where that other Cleaner went and what he did...
The Cleaner became the target to be cleared. This was really...
Kaito looked at the newly appearing special event, almost clapping his hands in applause. He liked this Cleaner job too much. This [Cleaner Authority] sounded like good stuff, heh...
In a good mood, Kaito looked at the crowd of demons blocking the neighborhood tightly in front of him, and the three Yokai Aliens standing on the building at the end of the neighborhood.
He felt these ingredients looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Nurarihyon in old man form just looked back at Kaito and the invisible Hachiro Oka once, then turned around again. He held a jewel fragment emitting purple luster with both hands, seeming to be studying it.
And the Inugami and Dai-Tengu, like left and right guardians, raised their hands pointing at Kaito, letting out a roar.
Roar!
Countless demons soared into the air instantly, rushing towards Kaito. Vision was completely blocked by yokai. The foul smell of demons pervaded completely...
