Chapter 672: New Birth
Leaving aside the hatreds that could fester for millennia among superhumans, let's shift our gaze back to Water Blue Star.
In a mere few hours, over a million soldiers from the Land of White descended upon a temporary military base centered around the Wei Er Si Te La Si Bo Jue's mansion, arriving through temporary portals that multiplied exponentially.
Thanks to Wei Er Si Te La Si Bo Jue's immense wealth, an area spanning over ten square kilometers was entirely his private property. The people living on these lands were naturally his vassals and subordinates, forming what was, in the truest sense, the Wei family's city.
At the Wei Er Si Te La Si Bo Jue's command, everyone had no choice but to abandon resistance and enter the specified confinement zones within the mansion as hostages.
Of course, resistance would have been futile anyway. Before thousands upon thousands of fully armed soldiers, the few firearms they possessed were merely an ant trying to shake a tree.
...
"Get the God Body beacon set up as quickly as possible! This time, we're not facing those backward natives from the Solar System!" the commander yelled over the communication network, addressing all engineering personnel.
According to the intelligence obtained from the system, the commander knew clearly that this time, their enemies were groups of Reincarnators spanning multiple worlds, numerous elite superhuman squads.
Every single one of them had endured countless bloody trials, possessed rich combat experience, and were equipped with a staggering number of superhuman weapons. In terms of individual strength alone, they far surpassed their own basic soldiers.
"Warning: Your main mission is about to fail. Mission failure will result in a double deduction of reward points. Those with insufficient points will be instantly obliterated!
Mission failure countdown: 16 hours, 58 minutes, 58 seconds."
The Heaven Team and Hell Team, currently negotiating with Bai Mo, suddenly heard a warning from the Main God!
"They're stalling for time!" The expressions of both teams instantly changed.
"Are you... leaving?"
"..."
"If we don't leave now, we'll fall into your trap," they silently muttered to themselves.
"Before you leave..."
"?"
"Leave her behind."
"Bang!"
Bai Mo's figure suddenly appeared behind the unconscious Allie, moving at a speed only the two team leaders could barely react to. Like bursting a balloon, he used his psychokinesis to crush the blonde girl's head.
Golden hair scattered everywhere, falling onto others' heads like autumn leaves.
There was no splatter of blood or gore, no brains splattering. Her head was directly pulverized by his psychokinesis into molecular particles of nanometer scale; not a single drop of blood was seen, leaving only her intentionally preserved golden hair drifting in the wind.
The headless corpse slowly toppled to the ground. It was only then that they had time to register their shock.
"Hell Team member, Akizuki Allie, deceased." The Main God's cold voice pulled them back from their shock into reality.
Although for Reincarnators, parting with life and facing death was an everyday occurrence; every Reincarnation mission could result in death, or even a total party wipe.
However, a death like this still seemed somewhat horrifying.
...
The next second, Allie's remaining parts were also crushed into molecular-sized particles by an invisible force, as if she had never existed in this world at all.
A complete obliteration of all traces.
The scattered golden hair, the moment it touched the ground, like snowflakes, silently melted away, transforming into wisps of green smoke.
A young girl, still an ordinary person nearby, her eyes widened at this sight, and she clamped her hand tightly over her mouth.
She lowered her head, not daring to face Bai Mo again, fearing that this unpredictable devil would turn his gaze upon her.
Of course, whether this counted as setting a flag or not was unknown, but Bai Mo immediately looked at her next.
"...No... I don't want to die..."
At this moment, the girl was filled with intense regret, wondering why she, a weak and powerless ordinary person, had ever gotten involved in the affairs of these gods.
"If you were to travel, where would you want to go?" Bai Mo's words completely took her by surprise.
"Wanlita, to see the sea." She subconsciously blurted out an answer.
A gust of strong wind blew past, and the girl instinctively squinted her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she had actually arrived at Wanlita Beach, thousands of miles away!
In her hand, she still held the exosuit she had received from Ming Qi.
"Am I dreaming?" she thought, shaking her still-hazy head.
Everything that had just happened was still vivid in her mind; the only thing she couldn't recall was the man's appearance.
The exosuit in her hand silently answered her question.
...
"Give us an explanation." Hell Team's leader, Hanluo, almost gritting his teeth, questioned Bai Mo word by word.
As the leader of Hell Team, the other party killing his team member right in front of him was undoubtedly an extreme disgrace.
Had it not been for the massive transaction both sides had just completed, which earned Hell Team items worth over 200,000 points, Hanluo wouldn't even have bothered to ask and would have immediately initiated combat.
Unfortunately, Bai Mo offered no explanation. He seemed immersed in his own world, his hands rapidly beginning to form seals.
"Restore."
Light began to emanate from his hands, white light swirling like threads, slowly weaving itself into a cocoon of light.
Bai Mo slowly opened his hands, allowing the light cocoon to grow within them. He was like a meticulous artist, carefully carving his masterpiece, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
Upon seeing this, the members of Hell Team all looked at the light cocoon with puzzled expressions.
They could sense that there seemed to be a breath of life within the cocoon.
An uncanny hypothesis formed in their minds.
At the same time, Bai Mo, beneath the light cocoon, seemed to become even more unfathomable.
From Ming Qi's perspective, the turning point had occurred precisely when the Main God issued that warning.
Before the warning was issued, she had at least felt that if she unleashed all her trump cards, there was still a two or three in ten chance of defeating the man before her, and even if she couldn't defeat him, she could at least escape unharmed.
But now, it was different. Her extensive combat experience told her that facing this suddenly strengthened enemy, she might not even be able to flee, and would perhaps need to exert her full strength just to find a slim chance of survival.
"It's done."
Following Bai Mo's words, the light cocoon slowly began to crack open, revealing what was inside.
It was a girl, her entire body smooth and unblemished, without even a single strand of hair.
She was curled into a ball within the light, her eyes tightly shut, as if deep in slumber.
"Is that Allie?"
Although the oval-shaped face lacked eyebrows and hair, Leader Hanluo still easily recognized her: it was indeed their recently deceased team member.
"There was still a slight deviation; she actually lost her hair."
Bai Mo stared at the excessively smooth face and the quite egregious bald head, as if in a revolving lantern, he replayed every action he had taken in the past thirty seconds, pondering where exactly something had gone wrong.
PS1: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone~
PS2: Also, a quick plug: Cloud Disperses Rain Returns's 'Great Hunter King', its theme is a future space world, and the author has plenty of 'personal indulgences' (manual sidelong glance).
