Chapter Twenty-Three: Stepping into Despair
As Bai Luo awkwardly stood up, he noticed countless scorching gazes directed at him from all directions.
These were the stares of passersby who had clearly realized that the child who had just fallen from the sky was the same person who had saved all of Kansas City on television.
However, Bai Luo misunderstood the meaning behind these looks. He instinctively covered the torn part of his clothes, damaged by the recent explosion, wondering if the Americans of this era had a peculiar interest in a boy's physique.
The recent blast had indeed left Bai Luo dazed and confused.
The power of that shot was astonishing; at close range, Bai Luo had been hit hard.
Yet, the Iron Body Talisman he had exchanged for over two thousand points, while not the highest tier among body enhancement talismans, proved its worth. This level of attack could only cause him pain and was incapable of inflicting any significant harm.
The moment Bai Luo stood up, he moved. His speed was incredible, like a flash of lightning, piercing through the smoke-filled scene created by the explosion. In an instant, he was in front of the Reincarnator who was barely landing.
The opponent raised their "silver" weapon to fire at Bai Luo.
But Bai Luo struck like lightning, reaching out and yanking the weapon from their hands with sheer force.
After all, this guy was merely a Technology User Reincarnator with no exceptional strength. Even when dealing with Logan, he needed to team up with another Werewolf Reincarnator to maintain a suppressive state.
Ultimately, the overall strength of this group of Reincarnators was not impressive. The strongest among them was merely at a basic level, and their highest-tier exchange item was just a growth-type B-Rank item.
Perhaps in their plans, they thought they could air-drop into Kansas City and leverage various advantages to infect the entire city with that B-Rank growth ability, thereby gaining power to challenge this world. Little did they know that there was already a traveler lurking here.
This Technology User Reincarnator's exchange items were not strong. As a bottom-tier D-Class, he possessed only a handful of high-level exchange items, most of which were ordinary weapons and equipment. The skills he had exchanged were also related to such items.
Such abilities were absolutely insufficient against Bai Luo, whose speed, strength, and physical resilience had far surpassed normal human standards.
Bai Luo had to thank the Reincarnator known as Forgiveness Color, who had contributed a crucial three thousand five points to him, allowing him to instantly exchange for two powerful Talismans. This put him in an invincible position in the battle against the Reincarnator.
With his iron-like physique, Bai Luo swung a fist that sent the unfortunate Reincarnator flying over ten meters, as if he were made of paper. The makeshift Exoskeleton device on him was nearly destroyed after a series of battles, sparks flying from all over his body.
Yet the Reincarnator was still unwilling to give up. He threw a smoke bomb and quickly discarded his damaged Exoskeleton armor before sprinting away in panic.
He ran frantically, never expecting that despite all his careful planning, an unexpected variable would emerge. Logan was one thing, but where did this formidable character who could even withstand Xia come from? There was no such figure in X-Men!
As the Reincarnator glanced back repeatedly, he failed to notice that Bai Luo had already reached his front with terrifying speed. Bai Luo lifted his foot and tripped the panicked Reincarnator.
Rolling on the ground, the Reincarnator pulled out another large-caliber Desert Eagle from his waist and began firing wildly at Bai Luo.
Bai Luo raised the silver gun he had just taken from the Reincarnator’s hands, using one hand to shield his face from potential hits to vulnerable areas. He aimed and fired at the lower body of his opponent, avoiding critical areas.
The bullets from the Desert Eagle struck Bai Luo's body, tearing his clothes further and leaving red marks on him. However, Bai Luo's silver gun was different; despite being fired blindly, the close distance ensured hits.
Bai Luo didn't even flinch as he exchanged fire with the Reincarnator for half a clip. While he remained unharmed, the Reincarnator let out a scream and stopped shooting, rolling on the ground in agony.
After emptying his gun, Bai Luo lowered his hand from his eyes and looked at the Reincarnator's legs bleeding profusely as he writhed in pain.
This time, the Reincarnator seemed truly desperate. He babbled incoherently, "I was wrong! I was wrong! I don't want to die! I really don't want to die! I just entered Main God Space; this is only my second mission world..."
Bai Luo did not press further. The two of them had exchanged blows while ordinary people around them kept their distance as far as possible.
Bai Luo's scattered shots aimed at non-lethal areas were merely an attempt to spare this man's life.
Bai Luo wanted to understand what was going on with this group of Reincarnators.
At this moment, he was genuinely feeling a bit unsettled—everyone knew that wherever Reincarnators appeared, that world was bound to descend into chaos.
From the perspective of the Reincarnators, their actions were undoubtedly driven by the need for survival and self-preservation. However, Bai Luo was not a Reincarnator; he was a traveler who could no longer return to his own world. No matter how bizarre this new world might be, it would be the place where he would live for countless years to come. Although Bai Luo was also a traveler who wanted to stir things up, that did not mean he wished for his world to be ravaged by death and war at every turn.
As a passerby, the state of the world might not concern him, but as a permanent traveler, he could not hope for his world to be like this. It might have its moments of turmoil, but for the most part, it should be a place of peace and tranquility.
This was precisely why Bai Luo decided to step forward. He certainly wanted to seize this opportunity to become the first true superhero in this world, but he equally did not want his living environment to turn into a hell on earth or an endless battlefield.
This would be Bai Luo's world, and he had every reason to fight for it. Since he had already planned to make a name for himself in this world, even if he did not act now, he would eventually clash with the Reincarnators. Rather than waiting passively for that confrontation in the future, it was better to take the initiative at this very moment.
Since these Reincarnators dared to run rampant in Kansas City, they should be prepared to pay the price.
