Reincarnators Descend

At a United Nations video conference

As the leaders of humanity gathered over an unprecedented supernatural event, they had never imagined things would unfold like this.

Although disagreements had led to the launch of a nuclear missile, they had expected to focus on the aftermath: how to deal with the environmental and diplomatic fallout, and how to negotiate with this suspected deity after it was hit by a nuclear weapon. Would it trigger a war, and so on?

But whatever they had imagined, it all hinged on the nuclear weapon exploding and the supernatural being possibly being injured or even killed—or else stopping the missile outright.

Now, this supernatural being had indeed stopped the nuclear weapon, but with such effortless, world-shaking power that it was as if time itself had turned back.

Every leader present felt a profound sense of helplessness. Faced with such an existence, it seemed as if whatever humanity thought or did no longer mattered...

Meanwhile, Zhu Shen paid no attention to what the people of this world thought. After forcibly bringing his will into this world, his battle with Gaia Consciousness over the world's source had already reached a fever pitch.

After quelling several waves of Gaia Consciousness's counterattacks, he no longer wanted to sit back and take the blows. Its failed counterattacks had further weakened the world's fortune, and all kinds of natural disasters had begun breaking out across the world!

Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions... It was as if the whole world were in the midst of an apocalypse.

Zhu Shen was genuinely getting a headache. He didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but Gaia Consciousness was clearly intent on taking him down with it!

Once most of the people in this world were dead, and the world's fortune had declined to a certain point, he might be able to Devour Gaia Consciousness more easily.

But before that happened, half of humanity would probably be killed or injured!

After all, humanity was one of the cornerstones of his Main God Space's rise. If too many people died, he'd have far fewer people to put to work!

So he decided to deal with the world's rampage the Main God way.

"System, exchange for an item: Calamity Pocket Watch!"

[Calamity Pocket Watch,

Rating: A-Rank, Excellent

Price: 500,000 points (the price for Reincarnators; Zhu Shen only needs 170,000 points)

Description: A support item that can turn the world's natural disasters into Calamity Behemoths. When a Calamity Behemoth is defeated, the corresponding natural disaster will disappear.]

A fourth-tier item! This was a wondrous artifact from a magical universe, with the ability to give disasters physical form. It was perfect for a moment when so many disasters needed to be dealt with!

After all, natural disasters were formless. But if they took the form of supernatural behemoths, then he could give it a try!

All right. Next, it was time to summon my Reincarnators.

Zhu Shen thought for a moment, then composed another special mission directive and sent it to all Reincarnators who weren't currently on a mission.

The Reincarnators scattered across different worlds all found the same mission in their Assistant Systems.

[World Mission:

Quell the World's Upheaval, Difficulty: D-Rank to A-Rank

Reincarnation World: Parasyte World

Background: One day, countless spores appeared out of nowhere in this world. The larvae born from them invaded human bodies, seeking to parasitize the brain. Once the process was complete, they merged with the brain cells and took control of the "dead body." They could transform their bodies at will, and preyed on members of the same species as their hosts. They were called Parasytes!

As the Reincarnators' missions progressed, the number of Parasytes in this world dwindled. The world underwent an unknown change, and a global catastrophe erupted! Natural disasters struck one after another: earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and more. Fortunately, a mysterious force turned these disasters into Calamity Behemoths. Defeat them, and the disasters will be quelled...

Mission One: "Hunt the Calamity Behemoths"

Contribution points will be awarded based on the strength of the Calamity Behemoths defeated and each individual's contribution.

Mission Two: "Rescue Operation"

Help people in towns escape areas affected by calamity, or rescue people directly. Contribution points will be calculated automatically based on the results of the rescue efforts.

Note: This is a special Reincarnation Mission. Failure carries no penalty. Participation is voluntary.

Rewards will be distributed according to each participant's contribution points after the World Mission ends.

Some rewards: D-Rank to A-Rank side stories, points, a Bloodline/skill draw, a World Travel Card (limited type), Main God's Invitation (rare), and more.

Mission begins in 00:04:59!]

At that moment, every Reincarnator who saw this special World Mission was tempted.

After all, this mission looked like a chance to rack up points, with no penalties and nothing but rewards. It even offered rewards that had never appeared in previous Reincarnation Missions!

After consulting the Reincarnator Assistant, they also got detailed information about several rewards that had never been seen before:

[Bloodline/Skill Draw Reward. Separate pools for low, medium, and high tiers.

Low-tier draw range: E-Rank to perfect C-Rank

Medium-tier draw range: D-Rank to perfect B-Rank

High-tier draw range: C-Rank to ordinary A-Rank

[World Travel Card (limited type)

After use, it provides three months of travel to worlds of a specified type. Points can be spent to extend the travel period. Reincarnation Missions will be postponed during this time. →

Available world types: technology, magic, immortal martial arts, supernatural, and more.]

[Main God's Invitation (rare)

After use, it automatically turns one living being into an ordinary Reincarnator, granting them all the relevant permissions.

Note: The target's strength must not exceed the fifth tier.]

When these rare rewards were revealed to the Reincarnators, almost everyone chose to accept the mission!

Ninja World, Konoha.

Minato Namikaze handed the infant Naruto in his arms to Haruna to look after, then returned to his room. He put on a combat uniform and a cat-faced shinobi mask, made a few simple changes to his appearance, and resolutely chose to accept the mission. He was transported to Main God Space.

Other Reincarnators in the Ninja World also chose to accept at almost the same time.

Among them were a certain shark-headed man carrying out a mission for Akatsuki, the training-obsessed Raikage in Kumogakure, and many newly recruited Reincarnators Zhu Shen had never paid attention to—a certain ramen shop owner, a young member of the Uchiha Clan, and others...

Inside the Akatsuki base.

Pain summoned Konan.

"Konan, I'll leave Akatsuki in your hands for now. I need to carry out a secret mission."

Konan's face lit up with excitement. "Is it that mysterious, dangerous mission again? I still can't go? Nagato, I want to come with you!"

Nagato—Pain—shook his head. His close friend's concern warmed him in this world of pain, and he spoke gently.

"Konan, this mysterious mission isn't very dangerous. It's actually a great opportunity. Only by becoming incredibly powerful can I live up to the title of god, and make people set aside their prejudices and embrace peace according to my will!"

After Doflamingo stole the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and escaped last time, the statue had fortunately remained unharmed. Instead, Nagato had inexplicably been chosen as a Reincarnator.

Nagato's Novice Mission had taken him to One Piece World for the C-Rank mission "Save the Fish-Man."

He had saved a Fish-Man named Tom, but Tom seemed to have a very important identity. Even a high-ranking CP0 agent from the World Government had come to capture him. The agent's strength had already reached the mid third tier, just one step short of an Admiral's high third tier.

But Pain was genuinely at the high third tier. Although his physical condition meant he couldn't fight for long, dealing with a mid-third-tier opponent was still fairly easy. He had simply let the man escape in the end.

At the end of the mission, Nagato had taken Tom and his apprentice to live on another island, completing the mission.

It was after that mission that Nagato had witnessed the power and mystery of Main God Space, and seen the hope of truly changing this world!

Yes, in his heart, reviving Yahiko had never been difficult. The hard part was changing the world! After all, reviving Yahiko would at most be a life for a life. But if he couldn't realize Yahiko's ideals, what would be the point of bringing him back?

Only by making people understand pain could he create the peaceful world Yahiko had spoken of. Then, he would revive Yahiko, even if it cost him his own life!

Of course, with Main God Space, they had the chance to achieve everything perfectly. The three of them would live to witness peace in the Ninja World!

"Konan, manage the organization well this time, and suspend all operations for now. When I return, I may give you a choice, so we can move forward together! Though I don't even know if this is the right thing to do..."

"I believe in you, Nagato," Konan replied, her face firm.

Parasyte World, a harbor somewhere in the Southeast Asian Archipelago.

A flash of teleportation light passed, and Orochimaru, Pakura, Kisame, and Mitsuki appeared atop a tall building by the harbor.

Looking out into the distance, they saw a gigantic male Fish-Man with a human face surging toward them across the waves. He stood over a hundred meters tall, with disheveled hair and handsome features.

"Lord Orochimaru, it seems to be a Merfolk!" Mitsuki had been studying all kinds of myths and legends lately, and recognized the approaching behemoth as a mythical Merfolk.

"The Bolü Kingdom, the Li'er Kingdom, the Diaoti Kingdom, and the Beiqu Kingdom all lie south of the Yu River... 'Their bodies are covered in scales, like a painted pattern. They are Merfolk.'"

Orochimaru said softly, "The Main God sure thinks highly of us, dropping our team right next to a high third-tier Calamity Behemoth."

Kisame flashed his trademark sharp teeth and grinned.

"A Calamity Behemoth that controls water, representing a tsunami, huh? I have a real connection to this kind of thing."

Pakura frowned. "I'm not good at fighting in water. I'll go handle the rescue mission!"

Orochimaru nodded slightly. Mitsuki and Pakura left first, heading toward the city center.

Orochimaru watched the Calamity Behemoth. It seemed to sway its tail with effortless grace, but it was actually approaching the harbor at terrifying speed. He licked his lips excitedly.

"Kisame, you'd better show me what you can really do."

"Hahaha! My blood's already boiling. I'll go first!"

Kisame laughed and leaped from the tall building. The red clouds on his Akatsuki cloak flapped in the wind.

Kisame landed steadily on the surface of the sea and stood with his arms crossed, treading water. Then he reached behind his back.

Kisame slowly removed the greatsword wrapped in bandages and held it before him. He gently brushed a hand over the blade, and the bandages unwound on their own, revealing a menacing double-edged broadsword.

Its body was pitch-black, with a semicircular tip and silver-white edges. A hunting shark was carved into the blade, and rows of saw-like teeth, like shark fangs, lined both sides. Its guard bore the fierce, bloodthirsty image of a shark.

This was Kisame's Zanpakuto, from Bleach World!

Kisame murmured softly,

"Devour everything, Mad Shark!"

A strange energy enveloped the Mad Shark broadsword, and then the weapon broke apart into an intangible mass of energy that covered Kisame's body.

A wave of energy swept past, and Kisame transformed into a half-man, half-shark form. Several blue energy markings appeared on either side of his face like shark gills, while a dorsal fin made of blue energy pierced through his uniform on his back.

Seeing Kisame's transformation, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, A spiritual power cultivation system? Kisame, you really are bold.

Kisame's Shikai ability could strengthen water-based energy attacks. Tests in actual combat had confirmed that it also greatly increased the power of Water Release techniques, making it perfect for him.

In reality, the Mad Shark Zanpakuto's original ability was to Devour Reishi and strengthen Reishi-based attacks. After Devouring Samehada, it had gained the ability to consume Chakra and feed that energy back to its user.

Reishi and Chakra were both forms of energy, so the Mad Shark's Shikai ability had mutated into one that strengthened water-based energy attacks and could also Devour energy attacks to a limited extent!

"Water Release: Super Thousand Feeding Sharks!"

Kisame rapidly formed Hand Seals and pressed his hands down. Countless densely packed sharks appeared beneath his feet. Grinning bloodthirstily, Kisame slowly sank into the water and charged through the school of sharks at the Merfolk surging toward him over the waves!
