Chapter End

End of Story

The mission to exterminate the Hunting Party was complete.

The mission to defeat Biba was complete.

The mission of the Young General's death was complete.

The Shogunate faction mission was complete.

The mission regarding the mastermind was complete.

The revenge mission was complete.

As Biba fell, a cascade of prompts appeared in Xu Yue's mind. As the hardest final boss in the entire mission space, the richness of the rewards was indeed beyond imagination, completely comparable to clearing the game.

Swallowing all the rewards alone by Xu Yue was shocking enough, even if it was just a low-level space.

After disguising the corpses of Biba and Kaku to look like they had perished together, Xu Yue once again melted into the thick fog.

Up on the city walls, the nervous and defensive samurai gradually noticed that the sudden dense fog outside was rapidly dissipating.

Only the sounds of battle and slaughter were growing fainter and fainter.

When the fog finally cleared completely, the battlefield before them was a complete mess, the corpses of Kabane and the Hunting Party mixed together in a gruesome sight.

Very few people managed to survive the battlefield.

"What is going on here? How could this happen?"

Mumei stared blankly at the battlefield, completely unable to understand how a simple Kabane-clearing mission could turn out so tragic. Coming to her senses, she hurriedly rushed toward her elder brother's side, but upon seeing Biba's corpse lying on the ground, she completely broke down.

"Elder brother!"

"Lord Biba!"

Mei, the other Kabaneri, also discovered the situation, but when she touched the body, she found it was already too late.

Of course she recognized Kaku lying nearby, but she never expected Lord Biba to be successfully ambushed by such a minor character.

She was also filled with self-blame for failing to protect Lord Biba properly.

Although the Kabane had been cleared out, only a dozen or so members of the Hunting Party remained, and every single one of them seemed to have suffered severe mental trauma as they slowly regrouped and headed back toward Awen Station...

While Biba was still around, Xu Yue's abduction of Mumei hadn't manifested yet, but once Biba died, the effect of the planted seed fully blossomed.

Why did Biba die?

It was because he was too weak, unfit to survive in this world!

Guided along by Xu Yue in accordance with her own existing worldview, Mumei's speed in rebuilding her confidence and recovering her vitality was quite swift.

Because of the conversations along the way, and the fact that Xu Yue's strength was vastly superior to Mumei's, it was very easy to replace Biba's position in her heart.

Moreover, Xu Yue had repeatedly hinted before that he would never abandon Mumei under any circumstances, and also gave her the sense of security that Biba could never provide in the past.

The abduction plan was a great success.

As for the remaining members of the Hunting Party and the original researchers among them, they were also packed up and taken away by Xu Yue.

They were all battle-hardened soldiers and excellent researchers. After experiencing this destructive blow to their faith, it was precisely the right time to exploit the opening.

Especially because of the previous dirty deal with Biba, Xu Yue already had a foundation among this group of people and had deliberately won them over.

Rallying this group of soldiers whose beliefs had suffered a devastating blow, whose comrades had left one after another, and whose companions had even died at their own hands, became a simple matter.

Having experienced such massive upheavals, they had completely let go of their single-minded desire for revenge and could now be used with peace of mind.

This mission, undertaken on a special trip out, could be said to be almost entirely complete. The rest involved nothing more than some talking.

With the Yomogawa Family's connections in Kongokaku, coupled with that group of fools who wanted to assassinate Biba, Xu Yue naturally gained the attention of the general, and the subsequent detailed planning and transactions were completely ironed out.

Especially understanding that the general would be wary of his martial prowess, Xu Yue also made a promise that as long as Kōkan Station had no problems, he would no longer leave Kōkan Station. While putting the other party at ease, this also vaguely demonstrated the confidence brought by his formidable strength.

Naturally, the general, who even feared Biba's Hunting Party, readily agreed to Xu Yue's conditions regarding preferential supplies for Kōkan Station, as well as Kōkan Station's independence and autonomy.

As for whether he needed to worry about the Shogunate trying to drive a wedge between them and the Hunting Party, Xu Yue had even less need to fret. All things considered, the Shogunate held an even greater grudge against them, and some unsubstantiated "slanders" would only make people more resentful.

Able to reach such a position, they certainly wouldn't be foolish to that extent.

Amidst such conversations, Xu Yue successively completed a few incidental space missions, and finally returned toward Kōkan Station loaded with a cart full of gains...

White Blood Plasma: Can effectively control the side effects of Kabaneri while neutralizing the effects of Black Blood Plasma.

Black Blood Plasma: When used by a female Kabaneri, she becomes the core of a Kabane fusion body; when used by a male Kabaneri, it grants a massive surge of ability for a short time and grants the temporary ability 'Telekinesis LV3'. The user dies after the effect ends, but using White Blood Plasma before the effect ends cancels the death effect.

Inside the armored Hayajiro, looking at the research finished products provided by the Hunting Party's researchers, Xu Yue also felt quite satisfied.

This thing had no effect on him personally, and even among Reincarnation Space items, it could only be considered average.

But this thing could be mass-produced!

Even if the current yield was very low, it would sooner or later slowly increase in the future.

As long as the population of Kabaneri within the Reincarnation Space could be expanded, these two items could be used as the ultimate trump card items for Kabaneri.

It could be said that this was one of the biggest gains from this mission. Mission rewards were given all at once, but this thing right here was persistent.

In addition, among the so many reincarnators who had died, an item that had not been turned into "white-board" junk was looted from the corpses of those few Hunting Party reincarnators:

Spider Serum: A serum that substantially increases perceptual ability, physical strength, agility, and climbing ability, with no side effects. (Note: The serum itself has no side effects, but it may conflict with other serums or bloodlines; non-initial bloodlines must use it with caution.)

Regarding this mechanism of the Reincarnation Space, Xu Yue felt somewhat at a loss for how to describe it. Including the new reincarnators and the six members of the Hunting Party, only this single item dropped without being reduced to a "white-board," while all other items lost their special abilities and became garbage waste.

Although firearms and the like could also be sold for a bit of scrap metal money, Xu Yue didn't want to waste Sealing Scrolls to store so many things, as there were more important items to take out.

However, based on the space's mode, Xu Yue also estimated that it should be related to the peaceful mode of this space; perhaps a mode that encouraged combat would increase the drop rates of kills on reincarnators.

Once all primary objectives were completed, the remaining time—aside from continuously instilling his own philosophy into Mumei and the others in an attempt to imperceptibly correct their previous misguided paths—consisted of constantly refining chakra and practicing the skills he had mastered.

After returning to Kōkan Station, he also used the remaining time without a moment's rest to strengthen Kōkan Station's defensive deployments.

It was imperative that they be able to handle all issues even without his personal intervention.

Kōkan Station, which originally served as a Hayajiro maintenance and production base and possessed a heavy industrial foundation, began directly mounting artillery batteries on the city walls.

Furthermore, with the presence of the Hunting Party's researchers and the original plot protagonists, new automatic firearms were still being developed using some of the firearms left behind by the reincarnators as reference prototypes.

In fact, according to the original plot, the Hunting Party had already developed automatic weapons similar to the Gatling, only they couldn't be mass-produced yet.

Amidst such fulfilling days, Xu Yue steadily spent the three months of the main mission, and subsequently completed his return...
