I Am a Reincarnation Stream Player: World-Ending Beacon

World-Ending Beacon.

Soul-black flames ignited above the heads of Hayasaka Ai and the others, creating a terrifying scene from their perspective.

Susanoo, five hundred meters tall, pressed down from the front, its entire body engulfed in exploding flames. Yuki, leading a group of epic-level players, was besieging it, but they were powerless to stop its approach.

Regardless of how much deception or falsehood there is, just focus on killing Hayasaka Ai and the others. If I can just watch them die, I'll accept it.

"Are you ready?" Hayasaka gripped his right hand, feeling his muscles tremble. As bait that had been 'accidentally' exposed, each of them naturally had their own mission.

Before he could finish speaking, a phantom image of memory appeared beside him, Aizen, as if in a nightmare, was out of control, unable to suppress his thoughts at all.

Swish--

The Void Puppet was smashed to pieces. Hiyori, and Ryougi Mena Ryougi threw out a storage box that swallowed the illusory image. The four of them disappeared on the spot.

Pulling.

The bait is meant to bear the enemy's killing intent, but the teleportation ability only allowed him to fly a thousand meters before the black flames above his head sprouted countless eyeballs.

Revocation of permissions.

Hayasaka Ai froze instantly, only to see a greatsword shooting straight at her, emitting a piercing the Roar.

"Go to hell!!"

It split into four, as fast as lightning. Hayasaka Ai raised her gun and fired, but the Death Knell bullet passed right through the middle. Fortunately, four arrows flew from behind, ignoring the speed and accurately deflecting it.

"Retreat again."

"You think you can escape?"

Hayasaka Ai's pupils trembled. In that instant, Susanoo had arrived in front of them. They were like tiny ants in front of Giant, watching the hundreds-of-meters-long sword descend.

In that instant, Hayasaka Ai finally understood why Yuki refused to confront the Grand Inquisitor head-on; this ability, arriving in an instant, was something that even an epic-level player couldn't contend with.

Boom!!!

Half of the building had been cleaved in two, but Uchiha Madara in his arms, was far from satisfied. Under normal circumstances, this strike of his could turn a mountain thousands of meters high into a deep crater.

"They've retreated into their own space, Aatrox has lost sight of them."

With the sweeping attack, the building was completely destroyed, but among the dozen or so players thrown out were not Hayasaka Ai or anyone else.

Just like before with Yuki, the Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge can only erase permissions within the same spatial dimension; hiding in the space allows for a reset.

"His location is advantageous, that's to be expected, but the World-Ending Beacon won't be so easily dispelled." Aizen showed no intention of making a move, instead pointing behind him.

Danku.

As the law was spoken, a spatial membrane unfolded, and a thick beam of light struck it, causing only a slight tremor. Yuki and the others had already given chase, and their escape had inadvertently caused trouble for the ordinary Judge.

"It's pointless to play this cat-and-mouse game with someone else." Uchiha Madara's expression was solemn. Those women were like carrots dangling in front of him, just to separate the three of them.

The Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge's teleportation has a cooldown period, so it won't turn into a running race.

"Then let's kill these fools who want to be cats first. Aatrox has already gone after them." Aizen saw a black line streak across the sky, and the World-Destroying Demon Sword was excited, as if it had finally found a suitable target.

Those women couldn't escape Aatrox's pursuit. After five minutes of cooldown, they would be able to break free of the encirclement. Anyway, that guy didn't have much fighting power left, so it didn't matter if he was eaten by Taiyi's main body.

Uchiha Madara thought for a moment, then decisively turned around, gripped the greatsword on his back, and leaned in as if to split a mountain.

Cut!

This strike was faster and sharper than before. The dozen or so monster-level players at the front were instantly annihilated without even a sound. Yuki and the others behind them dodged in time, only to see the blade slash into the city, sending out countless blade energies.

Cutting and shattering forced everyone to defend themselves with all their might, and in the midst of this storm, King Hassan transformed into spiritual fire and appeared directly on the head of Susanoo.

Epic Metamorphosis. The Grand Assassin.

Silently, by the time you noticed him, the longsword was already piercing his chest. Yuki watched as he stabbed through Uchiha Madara, but it was King Hassan's own chest that gushed blood.

Kyoka Suigetsu —even I believe that's the right goal?

Yuki a deep breath. Uchiha Madara was incredibly fierce, while Sōsuke Aizen was Arcane Grade and difficult to deal with. This combination was truly troublesome. When the spiritual fire appeared beside him, the returning Grand Assassin was completely bewildered.

"Next time you..." Yuki didn't finish his Yuki before raising his spear, which was immediately struck by the opponent's sword.

"Your intuition is good, but you lack Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge." The Grand Assassin's voice had never been so gentle. Yuki thrust his spear forward, and this time it was King Hassan's turn to raise his sword to block.

Why did you attack me?

Damn, you copied my idea, didn't you?

Everything is like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water; who can distinguish between reality and illusion? This is a tactical "copycatting," which is extremely difficult to deal with once it is implemented.

Anyone could be Aizen; he could stab you in the back. Yet, no one is Aizen; hasty attacks might harm your own allies.

Detection items were ineffective, and dispel skills didn't have time to be used. Only Tōshirō Hitsugaya from the 'Land of Life and Death' had maxed out his Intuition skill and could alert others in the communication channel.

"Don't trust your five senses; use your intuition to distinguish friend from foe!"

Good idea, but not everyone will rely on their intuition, besides--

Covered in shadow, Susanoo spread its wings and flew over. Its massive body was extremely agile. After completing the hand seals, it opened its mouth and spewed out flames at nearly ten thousand degrees.

Ninja Technique: Flying Fire Meteor.

A giant fireball, a kilometer in diameter, crashed down. Yuki gritted his teeth and faced it head-on, a massive Gravity Aura shimmering in his hand.

Authority. Earth Lord.

The fireball was launched into the sky and shattered with a roar, like a volcanic eruption, showering the Outpost with a rain of flames that melted even the strongest alloys.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, but Yuki had no time to look. One giant blade after another slashed down, as if trying to chop him into mincemeat. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw half a blade protruding from Hohenheim's chest as he tried to cover him.

The two of them together pose a tremendous threat; they are the perfect combination of assassin and warrior. Uchiha Madara possesses almost limitless energy and unrestrained attacks, while Aizen uses Kyoka Suigetsu to stab him in the back.

The group was already at a disadvantage, and now they were completely unable to form a united force. He couldn't even send anyone to help Hayasaka and the others.

Fortunately, it's almost time.

Yuki was shattered by the giant blade, but reappeared in a pile of ruins. The Moonlight Clone had already been activated, hiding the coordinates in various places. Uchiha Madara paused for a moment, not taking the opportunity to kill the other players.

The sky was completely torn apart, and a dark substance fell from the center of the crack, right next to the black vortex cloud. This scene gave the exhausted players a much-needed boost of morale.

The link point appears.

It seemed like an eternity, but in reality it was only 4 hours. It was just that the intense battle made people forget about time and feel that it was longer than a year in a Borderlands.

"Brothers, hang in there!"

"Fight back! Taiyi will soon grant us our freedom!"

Without Yuki saying a word, their morale instantly soared. They had already covered 99% of this long road; who would be willing to stop at the final 1%?

Did they even consider this detail?

Aizen also looked at the crack and felt the morale that he had just suppressed surge up again. Epic-level players are too difficult to kill; it would be best to defeat them.

This was not only a shot in the arm, but also provided him with—no, two—goals. At this moment, Aizen was actually the most nervous, because the link to the Forgotten Hidden Jianghu had also appeared, and he couldn't guarantee that Sephiroth and the other two could hold it.

One second.

The tension lasted for a second; his eyelids trembled slightly, and a gambler's ecstasy welled up in his eyes.

Here you are, trying to sneak away?

In the Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge, a starlight shone forth, so abruptly, as if it had been hidden there from the very beginning, precisely in—

Next to that link point!

The entire Outpost was in complete chaos, but dozens of Judge were still defending the link point. They had stayed there since the beginning of the war, frantically building defenses and never leaving.

Orochimaru, the leader, narrowed his eyes and stared in disbelief at the man in black clothes, black hair, and Black Blade standing a dozen meters away.

As a core defensive point, this place is equipped with countless detection arrays and warning devices. This person did not trigger any alarms and bypassed the thick defensive barrier. No, He has been here from the very beginning, right beside us!

Taiyi watched as they built defensive barriers, scanned the void again and again, and laid down an incredibly solid spatial blockade, all while remaining invisible.

With its absolute defenses, no one could teleport in, but this fortress instead became a cage hindering the Grand Inquisitor's return. Taiyi used countless cannon fodder to attract attention, waiting for the decisive blow.

No!

Yuki raised his Black Blade and slashed it down in front of the stunned Judge. Orochimaru instinctively rushed forward, knowing what would happen if the Black Tear was severed.

The Outpost is about to be dismantled, Reincarnation Game will punish its own subordinates. This is a ruthless program; it only cares about the outcome.

Swish--

The Black Blade stopped a few inches from the tear line. Orochimaru looked up in astonishment and was surprised to find that there was another person in the center of the 'altar'.

"Gotcha! How many times are you going to use that feinting trick?"

No one knew when Aizen arrived; he seemed to have been standing there from the very beginning, escaping all observation and remaining outside of anyone's perception.

The reversal happened in an instant; the despairing Judge was overjoyed, while the ecstatic players were instantly plunged into despair.

So many lives were lost, the entire Outpost was reduced to ruins, all for the sake of Taiyi delivering the final blow. Both sides were pushed to their Limit, but unexpectedly, this final climax came to an abrupt end.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Blood flowed down the blade. Schemes were not important; the key was ability. Just like Yuki had just escaped observation, just like Aizen's ghostly movements, only by erasing one's presence from both sides could a surprise attack be accomplished.

"You could see it, but how did you get here so quickly?" Yuki said in a low voice. He couldn't move an inch. Golden chains wrapped around his body from his wounds and then spread like a tree canopy to the entire sky.

The Faction Judgment finally began, and this trump card was played at the most crucial moment.

It wasn't difficult to guess that Aizen, who possessed the true form of the 'Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge,' could detect things in reverse. However, seeing something doesn't mean you can do it. The layers of defense constructed by the Judge left no gaps, and the Grand Inquisitors didn't get a single word. For example, Uchiha Madara was in a daze, turning his head to look at the shoulder of Susanoo Sōsuke Aizen nowhere to be found.

For both sides, it was like a dream; even if Uchiha Madara's memories were searched, not a single detail would be revealed.

Upon hearing this question, Aizen smiled gently, "Because I've always been here, and I haven't left even for a moment."

What?

The surrounding Judge were stunned. They had been guarding this place the whole time; the spatial rifts were like a maze, and every inch of air was filled with detection spores the size of bacteria. How could they have failed to notice two peerless experts standing right next to them?

The Grand Inquisitors were also stunned. They had been communicating with Aizen throughout the entire war, yet the latter hadn't participated in the fighting at all?

Well done, Sōsuke Aizen!

That decisive move was incredibly clever. If we could win, who would care that we'd been tricked? Taiyi, you're so cunning, aren't you? We have a master strategist here too.

Yuki blinked, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "I see. Your strategic composure is truly remarkable."

"You're not bad either, using so much bait and holding back until the very end." Aizen smiled, but was extremely wary, scanning his surroundings again and again. "Can you answer one question for me?"

"Speak."

"Such a dangerous, desperate strike is unlike your usual style."

"You really do know me well. Why don't I ask you first?" Yuki raised his hand and grasped the blade piercing his chest, his smile turning sinister. "Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you again?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but firstly, I won't give you a chance." He twisted his right hand holding the knife, widening the wound on Yuki's chest and releasing a strange energy.

Bankai. The mirror shatters and the moon falls.

The spread wasn't large; it only enveloped the entire altar, grazed the two Judge, who froze for a moment before vanishing without a trace.

Everyone hurriedly backed away, staring at the scene before them as if suffering from dementia, completely forgetting that there were two unfortunate companions there.

There is death twice: one is physical death, and the other is death in memory, the latter being more complete.

"I know Mai Sakurajima's ability, Kyoka Suigetsu, which can erase people from their memories. Since she doesn't want to be remembered, I'll grant her that wish." Aizen said gently. He had been observing and had roughly guessed why Taiyi bypassed the multiple defenses and suddenly appeared in the central area.

Clatter.

Yuki's pupils contracted, and he tightened his grip on the knife until blood spurted out.

Someone died, a very important person, someone he couldn't even remember. A murderous intent surged uncontrollably, and then he heard Aizen's second answer.

"Secondly, you may be fake, but this knife is real. Without this knife, you lose the ability to bring the world down."

Yuki lowered his head and saw black tears flowing down his long sword. He looked like a lump of mud covered with countless eyes.

Don't release the hawk until you see the rabbit; that's the key to a decisive victory!

Everyone was in despair. This was a grand scheme, played by both Taiyi and Aizen. Any detail could reverse the situation, and life and death could be decided in an instant.

The cheers of the Judge came from behind him, but Aizen frowned because he did not see the slightest wavering in the man in front of him, and he watched as cracks appeared on his body.

"Interesting. I did miscalculate a few things, but you underestimated me." Yuki gripped his sword tightly, his grief transforming into strength, even though he couldn't remember why he was grieving.

"A clone? That's impossible!" Aizen's expression changed slightly. He realized something was wrong, but with the long sword piercing his chest, no clone could possibly hide.

"I have a power called 'Fictitious Historiography,' which can not only weaken observation but also create something out of nothing, such as adding a second 'Taiyi' to history." Yuki the favor, enjoying Aizen's astonishment.
