Chapter 442: Confronting Nuclear Explosion
"Mercenary Tao, I... what exactly is this situation?!"
Numerous [Blue Cloud] looked at each other, pupils trembling constantly, mentally greatly stimulated, not understanding what they had encountered.
"Did you use some ability on me!"
One of the Blue Clouds looked at Kaito Shirogane. Confusion, fear, various emotions mixed. But soon, other Blue Clouds also looked at Kaito.
Kaito watched this scene. Multi-Faced Aliens' technology had reached an incredible level. These clones each possessed complete memories and clear self-awareness.
Therefore, every one of them present thought they were the "original body."
According to the theory of Multi-Faced Aliens, everything in the world was just a kind of [Information]. Even the [Soul] that humans were most proud of was just special information weighing 21 grams.
Human emotions, love, hate, passion, vengeance, suffering, parting, were all just special signals. Humans didn't possess any special components.
Not just humans, in their theory, there was nothing special in this world originally.
Life didn't possess any noble attributes.
Life was information, could be copied, deleted, modified, and created.
All nobility, uniqueness, self-importance were just hypocritical legends fabricated by various life forms for themselves when unable to understand the truth of the world.
Just like before humans mastered scientific knowledge, weather phenomena like lightning and rain were usually identified as related to supernatural existences, thus giving birth to god worship.
But after humans realized the principles within, humans could obtain current artificially and conduct artificial rain.
Mystery receded. What remained was only science.
At this moment, the [Survival] mission in the Space panel shone brightly. This was probably the Space prompting Kaito in some form that some terrible fact was reflected behind this place.
But there was no need for such prompts at all. Kaito had long known that what confronted him at this moment was absolutely not those human rich men and chaebols in this world who obtained Gantz technology from Multi-Faced Aliens.
Human rich men and chaebols simply didn't have this vision to directly select Reincarnators for cloning.
According to the vision of those humans manipulating Black Balls, in their eyes at this moment, the strongest Black Ball members should undoubtedly be professional military teams like the American Team, or talented players like Hachiro Oka of the Osaka Team who obtained 100 points multiple times.
Reincarnators entered this world for no more than 30 days at most, could perform a few missions at most, and wouldn't make them realize the uniqueness and strength of Reincarnators at all.
Moreover, Kaito guessed that no matter how unreliable this [Infinite Dimensional Space] was, it shouldn't go so far as to directly let Reincarnators be completely copied in information after entering the Black Ball Team.
In that case, theoretically, the Gantz world should be listed as a forbidden world. As long as Reincarnators were deployed once, a large number of clones possessing Reincarnator abilities and information would appear in this world, which wasn't in line with the Space's interests.
Therefore, the one targeting him and other Reincarnators behind the scenes at this time, as well as triggering this [Purge Mission], was absolutely that truly high-dimensional life form—[Multi-Faced Aliens].
"Think carefully. You should understand what situation you are in currently."
The clone Kaito just killed didn't create a Scarlet Drop Card for Kaito. In other words, clones were ultimately just clones. Multi-Faced Aliens also failed to copy the information of the Infinite Dimensional Space.
This clone could only be counted as a clone possessing Reincarnator memories, physical abilities, and possibly original strength, but not a Reincarnator.
Dozens of Blue Clouds fell into thought simultaneously, then quickly realized they were resurrected by the Black Ball. Because the Black Ball possessed the ability of repeated resurrection, so many selves appeared.
Blue Cloud tried to open the Space panel, finding no response. At this moment, his mentality completely lost balance. This meant he couldn't be counted as a Reincarnator at all, and couldn't leave this world either.
He was no longer a Reincarnator capable of shuttling through infinite worlds, just an... NPC...
More than a dozen Blue Clouds looked up at Kaito simultaneously. Despair in their eyes converged into anger. He generated intense self-destructive emotions.
Immediately pulling out the X-Gun on his leg, aiming at Kaito, locking and shooting triggers were pulled simultaneously.
Hum!
Kaito's figure blurred instantly. In the next moment, Blue Cloud found the lock frame on the X-Gun turned red, prompting the target was out of shooting range.
Kaito stood in the air. Golden light condensed at his fingertips again. He prepared to try again. If the clone in front of him only counted as an ordinary plot character, would he obtain an ordinary Drop Card after killing it?
Splurt!
Splurt!
Dodon Ray pierced through the glabellas of two people instantly. No Drop Card was generated.
Kaito remained unmoved, still standing in the air. The mobility of Bukujutsu (Dance of the Sky Arts) and flexibility of Dodon Ray made this kind of First Ladder Reincarnator completely become slaughter targets.
Splurt!
[You killed Blue Cloud, obtained 400 Dimensional Points]
Finally, a Drop Card lingering with faint green light appeared above a corpse.
Kaito picked it up and opened it directly.
[You opened Drop Card (Green)]
[You obtained 1500 Dimensional Points]
[You obtained Scroll · Basic Fighting Mastery (Green)]
Not only could he obtain Drop Cards normally, but he could even open Mastery Scrolls.
Kaito turned his head, looking at the eyes of the crowd of clones, a change occurred...
Blue Cloud obviously also felt that malice from Mercenary Tao. Because every clone possessed complete thinking and personality, for them, they were the "Me." At this time, self-destructive anger was washed away by fear.
Beginning to want to run away again. Suddenly, one of the Blue Clouds looking up at Mercenary Tao's movements paused, as if seeing something incredible.
"What is that..."
Kaito also frowned, looking back at the sky. A huge missile over thirty meters long cut through the sky from the outer sea, flying rapidly towards his location.
Even with his defensive ability, a crisis premonition indeed appeared in his perception at this time.
This was... Nuclear Bomb?!
Someone wanted to nuke Osaka?!
Not only that, Kaito clearly saw two missiles passing through the atmosphere. One fell towards his location, the other probably targeted Tokyo.
The terrible roar of twenty times the speed of sound was already like thunder exploding at this time. Burning clouds extended from the outer sea over the city, piercing straight like a sharp sword.
Blue Cloud and Hachiro Oka fully realized what happened at this time, but could only watch desperately as that huge firelight fell.
Kaito stood in place. Amidst flying hair, his eyes had turned blue-white. He neither activated Setsuna trying to hide in an air-raid shelter, nor planned to use Bukujutsu to escape.
Kaito just stood in place, his gaze increasingly fanatical.
Sizzle!
Current surged from his body. Some crazy emotion triggered his Current Push power to a more intense level. The thunder acupoint in the lower Dantian had completely condensed. Another acupoint appeared in the upper abdomen.
Simultaneously, pitch-black Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) condensed on Kaito's body surface almost inch by inch. Black-red lightning unique to Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror's Haki) coating also began to wander on his body surface, escaping into the space of hundreds of meters.
Since the first day Kaito became a Reincarnator, he had a crazy idea. He wanted to completely transcend all limitations and shackles. This naturally included the final trump card of the real world order level—Nuclear Explosion.
As the falling fire from heaven dropped from the sky, Kaito suddenly sensed new fluctuations appearing in Blue Cloud's clones.
He turned back, seeing another face appearing on the chest of a clone. That was a Multi-Faced Alien!
Boom!
Dazzling light and heat lit up from the outer river of the Osaka shopping street, then swept around instantly, devouring everything.
Kaito stood in place. The air was completely burned at the first moment. He could no longer absorb oxygen.
Then came the terrifying impact force accompanied by high temperature, rushing violently. But in front of him, it was blocked by the power of Limitless Technique.
"Ha... Haha, hello... Nuclear Explosion!"
In the terrifying light and heat, a figure slowly came behind Kaito, reaching out trying to touch, but stopped in Kaito's Limitless Technique.
"Record, new information. Information suspected to be [Paradox] is applied to the energy manipulation field..."
Kaito turned back. Blue Cloud's face was incomparably stiff, but that face on his chest looked at Kaito.
"To let you meet me more safely, this nuclear explosion was arranged. Hope you can understand..."
