"rcenary Tao, what exactly are you..."
Even with [Sage]'s ntality, the sight before him gave him a huge shock at this mont.
The originally narrow ntal island, after the impact of the [ntal Storm] and the [Collective Unconscious Sea] he triggered, not only wasn't subrged with the self lost.
Instead, weird changes began to appear.
rcenary Tao's Astral Body cracked like porcelain. Then, pitch-black aura began to erge from within. That aura represented other consciousnesses.
A massive amount of conscious existences were hidden within rcenary Tao's body.
Moreover, those consciousnesses didn't belong to rcenary Tao himself at all!
Under Sage's gaze, at a visible speed, that so-called [ntal Island] expanded rapidly. Unfamiliar consciousnesses began to appear in this world one by one.
The space occupied by rcenary Tao grew larger and larger, and the consciousness he could command grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, a real, pitch-black [ntal Island] actually appeared. rcenary Tao roared at him from atop it.
In the next mont, it seed tens of thousands of consciousnesses roared simultaneously.
In Sage's eyes, a consciousness like a ghostly dragon flew out from that island, crashing into his consciousness body.
Although he was about to completely beco a Mythical Creature, a new [ntal Dragon], this impact still affected Sage.
He was almost knocked out of this [Collective Unconscious Sea] directly by the attack.
However, the more terrifying attack wasn't this, but what followed.
Not far from the 'sea area' where the two were located, those ntal islands gathered together like fireflies began to be annihilated in patches.
Terrifying power began to spread in the ntal domain.
It was a resentnt seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul.
Emitted by a monster already powerful enough to shake the world.
Almost instantly, Sage was impacted and injured by the shockwave.
Kaito Shirogane, however, stood in the pitch-black island, feeling that impact as if it wanted to kill all living beings, his mind shook.
Sensing the consciousness space cracking due to Sage's attack, he then realized he had probably lost control to so extent at this mont.
But power, this thing... when controllable, has controllable uses; when out of control, also has uses for being out of control.
Kaito had rich experience in losing control of his body. He wasn't panicked, but rather excited.
Because for the first ti, he felt that terrifying energy intensity within his body!
Although it wasn't sothing he could use alone, it was no exaggeration to say that the internal force capable of freezing a thousand miles with one strike, which [Red Dust] erupted with after resurrecting earlier, was completely unworthy of ntion compared to his power at this mont.
"Ha, haha~"
"Sage, since you want to go crazy, you'd better endure it well!"
In the next mont, Kaito's Astral Body turned completely pitch-black.
Boom!
The pitch-black ghostly dragon crashed towards Sage in the sky.
Sage was currently suffering the shockwave of the [Spirit World Evil Lord] devastating the living world. Amidst the chaos, he felt countless consciousnesses pouncing on his face.
Like countless crazy souls biting at him.
Those consciousnesses perated everywhere. All thoughts were roaring crazily.
They didn't want to die.
They shouldn't die.
If they must die...
Then drag everyone to die together!
This group of innocent human Yin Spirits sacrificed by [White Mask] and died tragically, roaring crazily, constantly impacting Sage's powerful consciousness, wanting to replace it.
Resurrect, resurrect, resurrect!
This was the consciousness left after this group of Yin Spirits soaked in the Underworld for who knows how long, experiencing rounds of mutual slaughter and resurrection.
The cyan giant dragon transford by Sage was also tumbling constantly at this ti.
He had given up attacking rcenary Tao using this thod.
Sage took one last look at rcenary Tao, who also turned into a pitch-black spirit body on that pitch-black island. At this mont, he understood one thing.
He made a wrong choice.
This guy rcenary Tao had very bad [Compatibility] with him.
Not only difficult to hypnotize, but that intuition keen almost to the point of 'abnormality' was his nesis.
He possessed the ability to sign contracts with all those whose cognition was rewritten by him. And this [Contract] wouldn't be set down in written form.
Once the [Contract] signing was achieved in fact, he could make the person who signed the [Contract] with him pay the price on his behalf when receiving fatal injuries.
And his Devil ability itself excelled at passing off the fake as genuine, deceiving others' cognition. Combined with the [Visionary] Sequence potion produced from the Lord of Mysteries world, he was almost invincible in all mission worlds.
Most Reincarnators were planted with contracts before knowing his ability, eventually dying helplessly in battle.
Very few Reincarnators difficult to influence would also be killed by him finding ability flaws because they couldn't kill him.
Battles of high-tier Reincarnators were battles of intelligence and rules.
In this field, he was extrely powerful.
But a guy like rcenary Tao should perhaps be left to [Tang Sanzang] to solve.
Sage frowned, took one last look at rcenary Tao's abnormal mind, and exited the [Collective Unconscious Sea].
He watched as his Astral Body left, those crazy consciousnesses unable to find a target rushed back to rcenary Tao again, opening their mouths to bite at him.
His eyes were cold. As he expected, this ability to hide so many consciousnesses and souls in the body must be unstable and have huge negative effects.
Watching rcenary Tao's consciousness begins to be devoured, Sage's eyes shifted, finally leaving completely.
Due to his ability, he was very sensitive to factors like [Coincidence] and [Accident].
For ordinary people, it was normal to subconsciously find a target with poor [Compatibility] to fight when there were mistakes in combat arrangents.
But for Sage, such [Coincidences] and [Accidents] often had deeper anings.
rcenary Tao's anomalies now seed quite nurous to him.
Abnormal physical ability, abnormal thinking ability, abnormal mind, and this abnormal 'strong luck.'
But regrettably, no matter how much of an anomaly a guy was, being too jumpy before growing up would inevitably lead to encountering strong enemies unable to be dealt with prematurely and falling.
"I will rember you, rcenary Tao."
...
Sage opened his eyes, then felt his body completely frozen. In the next mont, his body disappeared, appearing outside the ice layer.
And the figure inside the ice layer had beco [Short Hair], who was already heavily injured and dying.
This poor guy, the mont he felt the cold, opened his eyes only in ti to convey a thought with ntal power before freezing to death in the ice.
Following inertia, that huge ice block flew into the black void.
[Lilith] heard the voice by her ear. Panicked, tears burst from her eyes.
"Coward, run quickly~"
Short Hair's voice contained only powerlessness, only sadness.
She always disliked being called a coward by [Locker] and Short Hair, but from now on, there would be no one else calling her "Coward" while protecting her.
Those two ordinary, common good-natured people were both dead...
Clearly... they didn't do anything.
Drip.
Bean-sized tears fell.
Fubuki turned her head, seeing the man wearing a black priest robe, hands behind his back, already standing behind them.
"Go quickly!"
Fubuki was shocked. Using psychokinesis, she barely lifted Lilith and the unconscious [Lily of the Three Section Staff], throwing the two far away, while she herself was powerless to fly.
Red Dust stood in the distance. Seeing Sage break free, fear appeared in his eyes.
No good, no chance. These two monsters... can't be killed at all...
Red Dust gripped the Snow Drinking Saber tightly, the force making the hilt creak.
Those pitch-black Yin Spirits standing around turned their heads simultaneously in the next mont, looking at Sage.
Sage looked coldly at rcenary Tao, who was constantly spitting out various Yin Spirits as if 'leaking air,' and said:
"Consciousness collapsed already, unable to control any Yin Spirit in the body anymore..."
"Truly a pathetic way to die."
Tens of thousands of Yin Spirits might be terrifying to others, but for Sage, he didn't fear them.
Moo!
A black Cursed Spirit closest to Kaito suddenly threw its head back and shrieked. In the next mont, accompanied by a bang.
The Cursed Spirit's body exploded with a bang.
Then the next one.
Bang bang bang bang...
Yin Spirits exploded one after another. Terrifying spiritual power began to surge back.
That huge figure wrapped inside the [Cocoon of Greed] suddenly moved.
"Hoo~"
Huge breathing sounds erged from within the Cocoon of Greed. Crimson mist appeared from within the ice. In the next mont, the ice cracked directly and shattered with a bang.
The huge figure landed on the ground.
"Sage... how can those fools killed by countless tis resist ..."
