Anime chat group: The tornado has split apart!

Lin Yu traveled to the world of One Punch Man, and with his incredible understanding and extraordinary wisdom, he learned the boxing skills of the S-class hero Bang!

Even more outrageous, he was pulled into a second-dimensional chat room! There were characters like Sasuke from Naruto, Thor from American comics, Angel Yan from Super Seminary, Whitebeard from One Piece, and the Dark Giant leader Carmilla… And Lin Yu had a unique entry system! By traveling through the world and completing tasks posted by members, he could randomly obtain an entry, including abilities, bloodlines, and magical powers!

From then on, the style of One Punch World changed completely!

When Fubuki tried to recruit him, she found she couldn’t see through him at all! When Tornado saw his strength firsthand, her arrogant expression cracked for the first time! The heroes of the Hero Association, the monsters of the Monster Association, and even the old man Lianbang himself were all shocked by Lin Yu’s unfathomable strength!

Lin Yu: I’m just…

Anime chat group: The tornado has split apart!
Chapter 1: Shock Bangu, Join the Chat Group
The fist wind whistled and tore the air flow.
Bangu’s muscles were knotted all over his body, he stood like a rock, his eyes wide open, staring at the figure in front of him.
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Flowing Water Rock Breaking Fist, the martial art he had created with all his life’s efforts, was actually performed to a level that even he himself had never reached by a young boy who had only been exposed to it for half a day!
Lin Yu’s figure was erratic, and when he waved his arms, it seemed as if he was not a body of flesh and blood, but had turned into a real river, sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm. Every turn and every punch was accompanied by a natural Taoist rhyme.
“Mr. Bangu, your boxing skills are very strong.”
Lin Yu’s voice sounded calmly, but he had already appeared beside Bangu like a ghost and pointed with one finger.
“But there are too many redundancies.”
The fingertips did not touch, but only pointed in the air.
Bangu seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer. His energy stagnated, and the fist force that was ready to be launched was instantly interrupted, and the blood color drained from his face.
He saw clearly that Lin Yu’s finger hit the point where he was most uncoordinated when exerting force! That was a subtle flaw that he himself had not noticed!
“For example, in this move, ‘Water Flow Strangulation’, the points of force are too dispersed. If this were the case…”
Lin Yu flipped his wrist, and his originally fierce punch suddenly became feminine and mysterious. The air in his palm was compressed and twisted, making a teeth-grinding whistle.
One move, just a variation, but its power is more than 30% higher than the original!
Bang’s eyes twitched wildly and his breathing stopped for a moment.
What he saw was not only the exquisiteness of the moves, but also a subversive martial arts philosophy! A terrifying wisdom that used strength to the extreme!
genius?
No! This isn’t genius! This is a monster! A demon!
Bangu has been immersed in martial arts all his life and calls himself a master, but at this moment he feels like an apprentice who has just started. His lifelong pride and cognition are completely shattered and crushed by the young man in front of him with such a nonchalant attitude.
He opened his mouth, but his throat was dry and he couldn’t utter a word. On his weather-beaten old face, there was only an expression of shock and awe.
The young man opposite, his name is Lin Yu. As soon as he traveled to the world of One Punch Man, he received a prompt from the system that he could activate the system by learning Bang’s boxing skills.
So this is the scene before our eyes.
[Ding! Core entry activated…][Giving out newbie gift packs—Insight into Everything!]In an instant, the world in Lin Yu’s eyes changed completely.
It is no longer just about colors and shapes.
He could “see” the trajectory of the blood and energy flowing in Bangu’s body, every tremor of his muscle fibers, and even “see” the mental power of this martial arts master who was in disorder due to the severe shock in his heart.
He could “see” the wooden planks of the dojo beneath his feet, their internal fiber structure, load-bearing limits, and the most fragile grain nodes…
Everything is revealed to him in its essential nature.
“I see.”
Lin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, not at all surprised by what happened, as if it was supposed to be this way.
He retracted his stance, stopped looking at Bang who was already in self-doubt, turned around and walked out of the martial arts hall.
The Tao has been learned.
There is no need to linger here anymore.
Back in the apartment, Lin Yu raised his hand to cover himself, and a virtual interface that only he could see suddenly popped up.
[Ding! Host detected, connecting you to the dimensional chat group…][Access successful! You have become the group owner! ]Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, and with a slight thought, he changed his group chat nickname to——
That adult.
After doing all this, he slowly turned his gaze to the group chat interface.
Just at this moment, a prompt sound rang out.
[Ding! “Uchiha Sasuke” has joined the chat group! ]The name that popped up on the screen made Lin Yu pause.
Uchiha Sasuke?
The Erzhuzi who carries a deep blood feud and only wants revenge?
Quite interesting.
Konoha Village, next to the ruins of Minamigawa Shrine.
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, his face alert.
“What?”
In front of him, there was a chat interface floating that only he could see.
Uchiha Sasuke: Illusion? What a boring trick.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: No matter who you are, get out here right now!
On the screen, the group owner named “That Sir” finally made a move.
[That adult]: Uchiha Sasuke.
[That Lord]: A pitiful creature blinded by hatred, who only wants to sever all ties.
Sasuke’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the fingers holding the kunai tensed instantly.
“This guy… knows me?”
He took a deep breath, and his tone was so cold that it seemed like ice chips were about to fall off.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: You coward, what do you know!
[Uchiha Sasuke]: I will kill that man with my own hands, and for this, I will not hesitate to cut off everything!
[The Lord]: That man? Are you talking about Uchiha Itachi?
[That Lord]: Maybe. If it were me, my entire clan would be wiped out, no matter what the reason, it would be unforgivable.
Sasuke suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes instantly turned into scarlet Sharingan, and his two magatama slowly rotated.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: You mean… there are other reasons?
[The Adult]: What you should do is up to you…
[That Lord]: All of this is also related to Konoha’s Danzo…
On the screen, every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Sasuke’s heart!
He stumbled back a step, his back hitting the cold stone tablet hard.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: You… who are you? !
His voice trembled slightly, a tremor he himself hadn’t noticed.
[That adult]: If you want revenge, then practice hard. You are too weak now!
“Ughh …
Sasuke let out a suppressed roar and punched the tree trunk beside him hard!
“Bang!”
Wood chips flew and blood flowed down his knuckles.
There was deathly silence in the chat group.
Sasuke’s chest heaved violently, and the bloody wound on the back of his hand sent waves of stinging pain, but none of this could compare to the turmoil in his heart.
Besides that man… there is also Danzo of Konoha…
[Uchiha Sasuke]: Power! I need more power!
Uchiha Sasuke: Tell me! How can I gain the power to take revenge on everyone?
This time, his words were no longer filled with cold questioning, but rather with uncontrollable eagerness and desire.
As long as he can get revenge, he will do anything!
Lin Yu looked at the almost roaring words on the screen, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just when Sasuke was shocked and almost collapsed.
[Ding! The group owner, “That Lord,” uploaded the group file: “Sharingan Advanced Enlightenment”][That gentleman]: There is no point in saying more than words.
[That adult]: This is a gift for you.
[That adult]: It will help your cultivation.
Sasuke stared at the document, his scarlet Sharingan fluctuating violently.
A feeling of surprise surged in his chest.
Feilu novels, Feilu will make you look good!

Ultimately, the desire for power and truth overwhelmed everything.
He gritted his teeth, stretched out his finger with trembling hands, and clicked “Receive”.
A huge and sophisticated stream of information instantly flooded into my mind.
It was an unprecedented chakra utilization technique, and the most extreme analysis of the Sharingan’s insight!
He subconsciously circulated the chakra in his body according to the method.
Buzz!
There was a slight stinging pain in his eyes, and then the whole world became extremely clear in his vision!
The dust floating in the air, every fine line on the leaves in the distance, even the trajectory of the chakra flowing in my body…
Everything appeared in his “sight” with unprecedented clarity!
This…this is…
Sasuke’s eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
After just a moment of trying, his Sharingan actually showed signs of a breakthrough!
The power is real!
Those…those words…
Sasuke’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and he rushed towards the chat interface frantically like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: Who are you?!
Uchiha Sasuke: Is everything you said true? Itachi…he really is…
Uchiha Sasuke: Tell me! Tell me everything you know!
However, the “adult” on the other side of the screen never responded again.
It was as if it was just a stone thrown into the lake, which, after causing huge waves, quietly sank to the deepest bottom of the water.
Sasuke was left alone, completely lost in shock and confusion.
Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes as his consciousness withdrew from the empty space interwoven with data and mental power.
Outside the window, dusk deepened in City Z. A shimmering orange-red glow penetrated the glass, drawing long streaks across the floor of the cheap, rented apartment. Motes of dust floating in the air tumbled and danced within the beam of light, like a miniature golden nebula.
Everything seems so quiet and ordinary.
Compared to the turbulent, love-hate ninja world just now, this place is like the other side of the world.
The corners of Lin Yu’s mouth curled up slightly.
One can imagine that the young man in that world is currently in the midst of a drastic reshaping of his worldview and the collapse of his faith.
But this is exactly what Lin Yu wanted.
Sasuke was just the first lever he used to pry open that world.
“Power is real…but what about hatred?”
Lin Yu muttered to himself, as if savoring a very interesting line. He never doubted that Sasuke would make the “right” choice. For a soul burned by the flames of revenge for years, any possibility of “truth” was a spark that could burn the entire forest of reason.
He stood up and stretched, his joints making a series of crisp noises. After a busy afternoon, his stomach was starting to protest.
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
He picked up his coat that was draped over the back of a chair and walked out of the apartment.
City Z, a city where housing prices have plummeted to rock bottom due to the frequent appearance of strange people, has a certain desolate atmosphere even at dusk. Pedestrians walk hurriedly, their faces more or less wary.
Lin Yu had long been accustomed to this. He walked slowly, wondering whether to eat ramen or barbecue tonight. Just as he passed an intersection, a shrill scream and the dull sound of a heavy object falling broke the tranquility of the street.
“Weirdo! A weirdo has appeared!”
The crowd suddenly became agitated, and people fled in panic. The streets, which had been relatively orderly, became chaos in an instant.
Lin Yu stopped and looked towards the source of the commotion.
In a nearby park, a bloated, three-eyed creature covered in slimy green skin swung its two thick tentacles, smashing benches and sculptures to pieces. Its strength was probably at the peak of the “Tiger” level, an absolute nightmare for the average person.
“Everyone, disperse! Leave this to us!”
A clear and majestic female voice sounded.
Lin Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of men in black suits and sunglasses evacuating the crowd in an orderly manner. In front of them, a graceful black-haired woman was facing the violent weirdo alone.
She wore an elegant black slit dress that highlighted her breathtaking curves. Her long, smooth black hair fluttered gently in the evening breeze, and her delicate face held a hint of the cold arrogance of someone in a superior position.
Hell’s blowing snow.
The first B-class hero, the leader of the “Blizzard Group”.
A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes. He had seen Fubuki’s profile and knew that this woman had an unusual obsession with “factions” and “number one.” Her superpower was telekinesis, and her strength was top-notch among Class Bs, but her innate pride and the uneasiness hidden beneath it were her most interesting aspects.
At this moment, Fubuki’s hands were surrounded by a light green glow, and an invisible force emanated from her, firmly binding the monster’s waving tentacles in mid-air.
“A mere tiger-level monster dares to act wildly in my territory?” Fubuki’s voice was cold and carried unquestionable majesty.
However, the three-eyed monster seemed more formidable than expected. It roared, and its third eye suddenly opened, shooting out a turbid yellow beam!
Fubuki’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately used her telekinesis to form a barrier in front of her.
“boom!”
The beam collided with the barrier with a loud bang. Fubuki groaned, sliding back half a meter, and the telekinetic restraints loosened.
The weirdo seized the opportunity, broke free, and rushed towards her with a roar.
Seeing this, the members of the Fubuki Group exclaimed, “Master Fubuki!”
They wanted to help, but Fubuki stopped them with a look. As the number one in B-rank, she had her pride, and to deal with a Tiger-rank monster, she would never allow herself to need the help of her subordinates.
Fubuki took a deep breath and was about to gather more strength to give the opponent a thundering blow.
At this moment, a plain voice, like that of a tourist strolling in the garden, came from not far away.
“Its attack pattern is two sweeps of its tentacles, followed by a three-eye beam. After each beam is fired, the third eye closes for 0.7 seconds. That’s the weak point in its energy cycle, and it’s your only chance.”
The sound was not loud, but it was heard very clearly by everyone present.
Fubuki paused and looked suddenly in the direction of the sound.
At the edge of the chaotic crowd, a young man in an ordinary coat stood there, one hand in his pocket, looking at this side leisurely, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with him. His expression was calm, almost indifferent, and his eyes were deep, as if he had already seen through everything.
Is it him?
A trace of doubt flashed through Fubuki’s mind. Who was this man? How could he be so calm in front of this weirdo? And what he just said…
“roar!”
The weirdo didn’t give her time to think and rushed forward again with a roar.
This time, Fubuki did not rush to attack, but subconsciously followed the man’s instructions and began to observe.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 3 I Want to Know Everything About That Man (Old Version)
really!
A sweep of tentacles.
Another tentacles swept across.
Immediately afterwards, the strange man paused, and his third eye shone brightly!
Now is the time!
Fubuki did not try to resist the beam of light. Instead, at the moment the beam was shot out, she condensed all her telekinesis into an invisible spike, and with astonishing speed, stabbed it fiercely at the monster’s third eye that was about to close!
“Puff!”
There was a slight sound, as if a ripe watermelon was punctured.
The monster’s movements suddenly stopped, its massive body frozen in place. The eye that had just fired the beam had now transformed into a black hole, gushing green liquid. Its massive body swayed, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, leaving no sound.
The battle is over.
The members of the Fubuki Group burst into thunderous cheers.
“Master Fubuki is too strong!”
“As expected, you’re number one in B-Class!”
Fubuki herself, however, showed no trace of triumph. She panted softly, her chest rising and falling slightly, but her gaze was fixed on the man not far away.
She knew very well that without that reminder, while she would have won, it wouldn’t have been so easy, and she might even have suffered minor injuries. That man, with just one glance, had pinpointed a weakness that even she herself had struggled to find.
This kind of insight…is definitely not something an ordinary person can have!
She straightened her slightly messy skirt, restored her proud queen posture, stepped on her high heels, and walked towards Lin Yu step by step. The members of the Fubuki Group automatically opened a path behind her and surrounded their leader.
A powerful aura pressed down on Lin Yu. This was a B-level aura, enough to make anyone with a weak will go weak in the knees.
However, Lin Yu just looked at her quietly, without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if the person walking in front of him was not the leader of a heroic organization, but an interesting passerby.
Fubuki stopped three steps in front of him, raised her chin slightly, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. “Who are you? Thank you for your warning just now. However, this place is very dangerous, and you shouldn’t stay here.”
Her tone was polite and conferral-like, expressing both gratitude and drawing a line in the sand.
Lin Yu smiled, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his smile. “It’s just a small favor. I just think that fighting can sometimes be more efficient.”
“Efficiency?” Fubuki raised her eyebrows slightly. “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“I dare not.” Lin Yu shook his head. “It’s just a suggestion. After all, using telekinesis to condense into spikes to attack weak points saves at least 30% of energy compared to simply using ‘Hell Smoke’ for range suppression. For heroes who need to deal with small fry frequently, saving physical strength is always a good idea.”
Not only did he point out her fighting style just now, he even mentioned her most proud move “Hell Storm” and accurately analyzed the energy consumption.
Fubuki’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Who is this man…?! Not only does he see through the monster’s weaknesses, he even knows his own abilities and moves!
The members of the Fubuki group behind her also became agitated, looking at Lin Yu with eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
“Your Excellency possesses such remarkable insight, so you must be no unknown figure, right?” Fubuki suppressed her shock and spoke in a serious tone. “Are you interested in joining my ‘Fubuki Group’? I can assure you that if you join us, you will gain resources and status far beyond your imagination. In B-Class, I am the rule.”
She once again extended the olive branch she was most proud of. In the past, any promising newcomer would be flattered and gladly accept this invitation. This was the confidence she gained as the top of Class B.
However, Lin Yu’s reaction once again surprised her.
He chuckled softly as if he had heard some funny joke, then shook his head.
“Fubuki Group? First in B-Class?”
He raised his eyes, looked over Fubuki’s shoulder, and looked at the distant sky. His tone was flat, but with an irrefutable certainty.
“Your pool is too shallow.”
After saying that, he no longer looked at Fubuki’s face, which had become stunned and embarrassed. He turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly blended into the crowd on the street corner that was gradually returning to order, as if the person who had just been pointing fingers at the world and shocked the number one in Class B was not him at all.
Only Hell Blowing Snow was left standing there in a daze. The evening breeze blew her long hair, and the expression on her face was unprecedentedly wonderful.
The pool… is too shallow?
She, the pinnacle of B-class heroes, the leader of the largest B-class faction, “Hell Snow Blowing”, was actually told by a man of unknown origin… that the pool was too shallow?
How arrogant this is! And how…
For some reason, besides anger, a trace of uncontrollable curiosity arose in Fubuki’s heart.
“Lord Fubuki, that guy is too arrogant! Do you want us to teach him a lesson?” Her most loyal subordinate, “Eyelashes”, said indignantly.
“Shut up.” Fubuki interrupted him coldly.
Her gaze was still looking at the direction where Lin Yu disappeared, her eyes changing constantly.
“Mountain Ape, mobilize all your intelligence networks to investigate that man! I want to know everything about him!”
“yes!”
Fubuki clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She had a strong premonition.
This man is either an incurable lunatic, or… he is the real strong man she has been looking for, who can bring about a qualitative change in her… and even the entire Fubuki group!
She had to find him no matter what.
The intelligence capabilities of the Fubuki Group are among the best among B-class heroes.
However, a day passed and there was no further information about the man.
“Lord Fubuki, there is no such person.”
Inside the Fubuki Group’s base, the muscular man known as “Yamasape” reported the results of his investigation with a look of helplessness on his face. “He’s not on the Hero Association’s registration list, and the police’s citizen database doesn’t have any matching information. It’s like he just… appeared out of thin air.”
“Waste!” Chuixue slapped the table, and the expensive mahogany desk let out a painful groan.
The coffee in front of her had already gone cold, and she hadn’t touched a sip. The words, “Your pool is too shallow,” echoed repeatedly in her mind.
These words, like a thorn, pierced deeply into her heart.
For Fubuki, who prioritized “number one” and “faction” above all else, this was undoubtedly the greatest provocation. But after calming down, her instincts as a strong person told her that the man was more than just conceit.
His eyes were as calm as a bottomless lake, seeming to reflect everything, yet making it impossible to see through anything.
“Master Fubuki, perhaps… that guy is just an ordinary person who happens to have some theoretical knowledge?” A subordinate beside him cautiously speculated, “After all, there are many hero analysis enthusiasts on the Internet now…”
Chapter 4 Helping Sasuke escape from Orochimaru (Old Version)
“Have you ever seen a ‘fan’ who can remain calm in front of a tiger-level monster and see it more clearly than me, the person involved, in an instant?” Fubuki glanced at him coldly, and the latter immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak again.
Fubuki rubbed her brows in frustration. She hated this feeling of being out of control. She had always been the one to scrutinize others, evaluate them, and determine their worth. But now, a mysterious man had completely piqued her curiosity, and even… a hint of frustration.
“Keep investigating!” she ordered without question. “Get all the surveillance footage from the area surrounding the incident and watch it frame by frame! I don’t believe he could have popped out of nowhere!”
Naruto world.
In the dark forest, the rotting branches and leaves exuded a disgusting damp smell.
Sasuke covered his bleeding shoulder and gasped violently, each breath affecting the wounds all over his body.
Chakra is on the verge of depletion.
Behind him, the cold, slippery, and venomous malice, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, always follows him like a maggot on his heel.
It’s Orochimaru.
He clenched his teeth, his scarlet Sharingan stinging and dry from overuse, and his vision began to double.
His feet went weak and he bumped into a thick tree trunk in a mess, sliding down the cold trunk to the ground.
The cold soil stuck to his cheeks, and a feeling of powerlessness overwhelmed him like a tide.
Is it going to end here…?
The intense resentment and humiliation almost broke his heart.
Just when my consciousness was about to blur, an almost forgotten thought suddenly flashed through my mind like the last straw a drowning man grasped.
That chat group.
And… that unfathomable adult.
He used up his last bit of strength and made the most urgent and hoarse cry in his heart.
At the same time, City Z.
Lin Yu had just changed his shoes and was picking up his wallet and keys.
Today’s plan is simple. I will go to the nearby supermarket and see if I can meet the bald guy who is keen on discounted dishes.
Just as he grasped the door handle, a sudden sound rang in his mind.
A virtual chat interface unfolded before his eyes, with a barely perceptible fluctuation.
A blood-red message for help came from a name he was extremely familiar with.
Uchiha Sasuke: “Save me!”
Lin Yu’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Sasuke?
He reacted almost instantly. It was the Sasuke from the Naruto world!
Before he could digest this shocking information, another cold mechanical prompt sounded directly in the depths of his consciousness.
【Special mission of the entry system has been released.】
[Mission content: Assist Sasuke to escape from Orochimaru’s pursuit.]Lin Yu’s hand holding the door handle stopped in mid-air.
The relaxed mood of going to the supermarket was instantly replaced by the life-and-death race from another world.
The cold touch of the door handle was Lin Yu’s last physical memory of this world.
The next moment, the warm afternoon sun in City Z, the monotonous chirping of cicadas outside the window, and the familiar smell of the shoe cabinet at the entrance vanished like a canvas ripped from its surface. In its place, the damp scent of decaying earth and a thick, bloody mixture filled the air.
Dark and depressing.
Towering trees blocked out the sunlight, leaving only fragmented shadows, like ghosts, cast across the tangled ground. The air was as thick as insoluble phlegm, and every breath was chilling.
Lin Yu’s eyes were not at all flustered, but he swept his surroundings calmly. His hand was still holding the door handle, hanging in the air, looking a little abrupt. The wallet and keys lay quietly in the palm of his other hand, out of place in this primitive and cruel forest.
“Save me…”
A weak, hoarse voice, yet filled with overwhelming resentment, came from beside his feet.
Lin Yu lowered his eyes.
The black-haired boy, covered in blood, huddled in a heap at the base of a giant tree. His otherwise handsome face was stained with mud and blood, his lips pale and cracked. Only his eyes, a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes framed by two black magatama beads, stared intently ahead, as if burning with the last flame of life.
Uchiha Sasuke.
Even in such a miserable situation, the pride and stubbornness that comes from his blood are still clearly visible.
Lin Yu’s gaze passed Sasuke and turned to the source of the boy’s fear and hatred.
Not far away, a man slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees. His skin was as pale as a corpse that hadn’t seen the sun for years, and his long, dark hair flowed down smoothly. His long, golden, snake-like eyes gleamed with coldness, cruelty, and a hint of undisguised… curiosity.
His tongue, like a snake’s tongue, slowly licked his lips, and his eyes moved back and forth between Lin Yu and Sasuke, as if he was looking at two interesting collectibles.
Orochimaru.
Three legendary names, three characters that should have only existed on two-dimensional paper, now appeared in front of Lin Yu in an extremely real way.
“Oh?” Orochimaru’s voice was hoarse and magnetic, with a chilling amusement. “Is this… your companion, Sasuke-kun? What an interesting way to make an appearance. I didn’t even notice his presence.”
His eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, and that scrutiny was more dangerous than the gaze of a venomous snake. He couldn’t see through it. The man who suddenly appeared before him didn’t have a single chakra fluctuation, just like an ordinary civilian. But how could a civilian appear silently within his perception range? And how could he not even have his heartbeat quicken the slightest when facing him—Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas?
That calmness wasn’t a feigned composure, but rather a kind of indifference born of absolute confidence. It was as if the life-or-death crisis before him was nothing more than a trivial farce on the side of the road.
Sasuke was stunned. He summoned his last remaining strength to call for help, and it finally received a response. However, the person who appeared was completely different from any of the powerful figures he had imagined. No soaring aura, no vast chakra, just an ordinary man in casual clothes, even holding his wallet and keys.
Is this… that “adult”?
The huge contrast made him almost think it was an hallucination caused by excessive blood loss.
Lin Yu finally put down his hand that was hanging in the air, and slowly put his wallet and keys back into his pocket, his movements as natural as if he were in his own living room. He glanced at Orochimaru, then at Sasuke on the ground, and frowned slightly.
The situation was indeed troublesome. Sasuke was in extremely poor condition, practically at the end of his rope. Meanwhile, Orochimaru was at the peak of his powers since his defection from Konoha, his strength and intelligence both treacherous and unpredictable.
“Who are you?” The big snake was a little displeased by Lin Yu’s disregard. Its golden snake pupils narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura began to spread.

Chapter 5: Physical Techniques that Use Skill and Strength to the Extreme (Old Version)
Lin Yu did not answer him immediately. His brain had already started running at super high speed the moment he set foot on this land.
The ability of [Seeing Through Everything] is quietly activated.
In his vision, the entire world took on a different form. The flow of air, the refraction of light, the moisture and hardness of every inch of soil, the fiber structure within the giant tree… everything was broken down into the most basic data streams, pouring into his mind.
Orochimaru was no longer a simple humanoid. Lin Yu “saw” the unusual bone structure in his body, the snakes lurking under his skin, ready to attack at any time, and even the cold, huge energy in his body, the chakra, which had been slightly depleted due to the battle just now.
Sasuke’s condition was even more clear. A shattered shoulder blade, multiple muscle tears, severe chakra circuit blockage and depletion… the extent of his physical damage was precisely quantified.
I see.
This is the world of ninja, an energy system built around “chakra.”
“A friend passing by.” Lin Yu finally spoke, his voice flat and without any emotion, “I happen to be a little interested in your body modification technology.”
As soon as these words came out, Sasuke’s pupils shrank suddenly.
As for Orochimaru, he was stunned at first, then he let out a low and hoarse laugh, as if he had heard some huge joke.
“Hehehe… A friend passing by? What a fresh term.” He extended his long tongue and licked the corner of his mouth again, the amusement in his eyes turning into intense interest. “Since you’re a friend passing by, how about… staying and becoming my latest collection? I’m also very interested in your strange ‘disguise’.”
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly became blurred!
“Shadow Snake Hand!”
Dozens of ferocious venomous snakes shot out from his wide cuffs without warning, like black lightning, biting Lin Yu from all directions! Each snake carried deadly venom, blocking all of Lin Yu’s escape routes.
This was Orochimaru’s usual probing tactic, swift and deadly. Any other jonin would have been forced to retreat at such close range.
Sasuke, lying on the ground, felt his heart almost in his throat. He subconsciously wanted to remind her, but he didn’t even have the strength to speak.
However, Lin Yu stood there, motionless.
His eyes were calm, and he only took action when dozens of poisonous snakes were about to touch his body.
No seals were formed, and no energy was released.
He simply… took a step forward.
The body sinks slightly, the arms stretch out, drawing a round and mysterious arc.
Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist.
This is a pure physical technique that uses skill and strength to the extreme.
Buzz——
There was a slight tremor in the air.
The venomous snakes that pounced fiercely seemed to hit an invisible yet extremely tough air wall the moment they approached Lin Yu’s body within half a meter. No, that was not an air wall, but a high-speed rotating force field driven by Lin Yu’s arms.
All the venomous snakes’ attack paths were instantly deflected, diverted, and pulled by a flexible yet overbearing force. They were like fallen leaves caught in a turbulent whirlpool, being swept, torn, and collided with each other involuntarily!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dull explosions sounded one after another, and the dozens of poisonous snakes were turned into bloody fragments by Lin Yu’s fist in mid-air. The smelly blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but not a drop could stain the corner of his clothes.
The whole process happened in a flash.
Send and receive freely and smoothly.
Orochimaru’s laughter stopped abruptly.
For the first time, his golden, snake-like pupils shrank to the size of a needle’s tip. There was no longer amusement or curiosity in them, but instead a deep shock and… a hint of disbelief.
What the hell is this man?
The forest fell into silence in an instant.
Only the remains of the snake’s corpse, crushed by the wind from the fist, fell on the rotten leaves with a sticky sound.
Sasuke’s Sharingan lost focus in shock.
What did he see?
Without chakra, ninjutsu, or even extraordinary speed, the man simply stood there, drew a circle, and crushed Orochimaru’s “Shadow Snake Hand,” which was powerful enough to instantly kill a team of Chunin?
It wasn’t a head-on confrontation, but rather a skill akin to the Dao. It was as if those deadly venomous snakes had become docile sheep before him, easily led to the slaughter. This ultimate control of power was completely beyond Sasuke’s comprehension.
He had always believed that great power would flash like a thousand birds, or blaze like a fireball. But the man before him, in a way so unpretentious and almost ordinary, displayed a far more terrifying power.
“Taijutsu?”
Orochimaru’s voice became a little dry. He stared at Lin Yu intently, his eyes like a scalpel, trying to see through him completely from the inside out.
“No… that’s not right. This isn’t a simple taijutsu. This technique of dissipating force… this perfect control of the flow of the attack… Even Gai’s Eight Gates, when opening the first few gates, is just pure speed and power. It’s definitely not capable of such exquisite skill.”
His mind was working frantically, comparing the man before him with all the powerful people in his database: Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure…even those monsters in the Akatsuki organization.
None of them fit the bill.
This man, just like the way he appeared, is a complete “nothing”.
“Your body is very interesting.” Lin Yu’s eyes fell on Orochimaru’s arm, and he calmly stated a fact. “In order to facilitate the entry and exit of snakes, you softened the bones and muscle fibers of your arm. But this transformation also makes your joints 17% more fragile than those of ordinary people. If my target just now was not those snakes, but your wrist, it would have been broken by now.”
[Seeing Through Everything] allows him to see the deepest secrets of Orochimaru’s body.
Orochimaru’s pupils contracted violently again.
This secret, apart from himself and his lab assistant, could never be known by anyone else! This man… had he seen through the essence and weaknesses of his “software transformation” with just one glance?
How is this possible!
A chill, originating from nowhere, crawled slowly up his spine like countless small snakes. This frightened him more than any physical attack. Before such eyes, all the transformations he was so proud of, all the secret ninjutsu, seemed to become transparent.
“Who… are you?” For the first time, there was a hint of real fear in Daiguanwan’s voice.
Lin Yu had no interest in answering. The mission was to help Sasuke escape, and the most efficient way was to beat Orochimaru so hard that he dared not chase him anymore.
He lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his whole body slid along the ground like an arrow, instantly closing the distance between him and Orochimaru.
Chapter 6: Orochimaru’s Shock (Old Version)
So fast!
Orochimaru’s heart was filled with alarm, but he was, after all, a battle-hardened Kage-level warrior, and his fighting instinct was ingrained in his bones. Facing the advancing Lin Yu, he did not retreat, but opened his mouth instead.
“Kusanagi Sword: Sky Sword!”
A long sword flashing with cold light shot out from the depth of his twisted throat like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and the tip of the sword pierced Lin Yu’s heart!
This legendary divine weapon is extremely sharp, and combined with Orochimaru’s strange attack methods, it is enough to make any opponent defenseless.
However, in Lin Yu’s [Insight into Everything] vision, the trajectory, speed, and even every subtle difference in sharpness on the blade of the sword were all extremely clear.
Facing this fatal sword, Lin Yu did not dodge or evade, but just stretched out two fingers when the tip of the sword was about to hit him.
Index finger and middle finger.
His movements didn’t seem fast, but they were extremely precise, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace.
bite!
An extremely crisp sound of metal clashing was heard.
A scene happened that both Sasuke and Orochimaru, who was watching from afar, would never forget.
Lin Yu’s two fingers, like the most precise pliers, firmly clamped the tip of the Kusanagi sword! The sword edge, sharp enough to cut gold and jade, was less than a millimeter away from his skin, but it could no longer move forward!
An overwhelming and unstoppable spiral force instantly erupted from his fingertips.
Snap!
On the blade of the Kusanagi sword, spider-web-like fine cracks suddenly spread out with the clamped sword tip as the center!
“My sword!” Orochimaru exclaimed in disbelief.
This ancient divine weapon, which he had painstakingly obtained, was indestructible. How could it be cracked by just two fingers? What kind of monstrous explosive power and skill would this require!
Lin Yu’s eyes did not fluctuate at all. He exerted force with his fingers and flicked it lightly.
The Kusanagi sword let out a mournful cry and was thrown away by a clever force. It flew back at a speed even faster than when it came, spinning and nailing into a huge tree beside Orochimaru. The hilt of the sword was still shaking wildly, making a buzzing sound.
After repelling Kusanagi’s sword, Lin Yu continued his offensive. He stepped forward, transformed his palm into a fist, and punched Orochimaru in the chest.
This punch, seemingly ordinary, contained the essence of the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist. Before the fist even landed, a gust of wind so condensed it was as solid as a substance had already oppressed Orochimaru, causing him to hold his breath.
Danger! Extremely dangerous!
Orochimaru’s fighting instincts were screaming wildly. He had no doubt that if he were hit by this punch, his fate would be no better than those crushed venomous snakes.
“Orochimaru Style: Substitution Technique!”
The moment the fist was about to make contact, Orochimaru’s body collapsed like a puddle of mud, transforming into a torn snake skin that floated to the ground. His true form flashed out from behind a tree more than ten meters away, a thin layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
He looked at Lin Yu, and his eyes changed completely.
Shock, fear, and… a hint of morbid fanaticism.
“Amazing… It’s truly amazing!” Orochimaru didn’t flinch, but instead became even more excited. “Pure flesh, pure technique, to be able to reach this point! This is simply… the most perfect work of art! More perfect than the Sharingan, more perfect than any bloodline limit!”
The greed in his eyes was almost tangible. He wanted this man, no matter the cost! He wanted to study him, dissect him, and turn his secrets into the cornerstone of his own path to immortality!
“What’s the name of your boxing style?” Orochimaru asked like a devout seeker.
Lin Yu retracted his fist and looked at him quietly, as if he was looking at a clown.
“You don’t need to know.”
In Orochimaru’s eyes, his calmness became the ultimate provocation.
“Hehehe… Is that so? It’s okay if you don’t say it.” Orochimaru slowly opened his arms, and the cold chakra gushed out of his body like a tsunami, condensing into the shadow of a huge and ferocious white snake behind him.
“Since the artwork refuses to cooperate, all we can do is… break it into pieces and then slowly piece it back together for further study!”
“Forbidden Technique: Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!”
In an instant, the ground shook violently. Countless venomous snakes, large and small, emerged from the soil and tree trunks in all directions, forming a surging sea of snakes. From the mouth of each snake stretched out a sharp snake sword. The sword light gathered in the dim forest into a silver ocean of death, rushing towards Lin Yu from all directions!
This is Orochimaru’s most powerful forbidden range attack technique. Once activated, thousands of snakes will appear and the swords will be like a forest, enough to raze a hill to the ground.
He wanted to see how this man could use his “exquisite” boxing skills to resist this all-round saturation attack with no blind spots!
Sasuke, lying on the ground, was completely desperate.
An attack of this magnitude couldn’t be compensated by mere skill. This was… a natural disaster!
However, surrounded by thousands of snake swords, Lin Yu’s expression remained unchanged.
He simply slowly performed the starting stance of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist once again.
“Innocent.”
He whispered two words.
Under his [Insight into All Things], this so-called “Ten Thousand Snakes Formation,” seemingly a dragnet, was in reality riddled with flaws. The attack paths of each snake, the angles of each sword’s thrust, though complex, still adhered to the most basic laws of physics.
In his opinion, as long as there is a pattern, there must be…gaps that can be exploited.
The sea of snakes and the forest of swords suddenly closed together with a scream that was enough to tear everything apart.
In Orochimaru’s golden snake eyes, Lin Yu’s small but lonely figure was reflected, and a cruel and complacent smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t believe that any creature could survive such a physical attack.
However, the smile froze.
The expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not appear.
At the moment when thousands of sword lights were about to engulf Lin Yu, his figure moved.
That’s not a dodge, nor a block.
He seemed to transform into a willow catkin melting in the wind, a fish swimming in a rapid current. With a flexibility and coordination beyond the limits of the human body, he began a near-dance through the impenetrable gaps between the blades.
Every time he turned sideways, he just avoided the three snake swords that were stabbing at him at the same time.
Every time he bent down, dozens of intersecting cold lights above his head fell into the air.
Every step he took was precisely placed on the only spot where no poisonous snakes were lurking.
The true meaning of the Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist lies not only in the ferocity of “rock-smashing,” but also in the gentleness of “flowing water.” Following the flow, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, transform the enemy’s attack into a smooth path for yourself.
In Sasuke’s eyes, which were bloodshot due to excessive shock, Lin Yu’s figure left a series of blurred afterimages. He was like a highly skilled artist, dancing a gorgeous and deadly solo on the edge of death.
The Ten Thousand Snakes Formation, this forbidden technique that was said to be unavoidable, now looked like a poorly designed joke. All the attacks seemed to be actively making way for him.
Chapter 7 Mission Rating: S (Perfect) (Old Version)
“This… is impossible!” For the first time, the fanaticism on Orochimaru’s face was replaced by an emotion called “fear”.
This isn’t a fight, this is a crushing defeat! It’s a higher-dimensional life form playing with lower-dimensional creatures…
Not only did the opponent see through all his attacks, he even seemed to know the flow of his chakra and the distribution of his mental energy. He could predict it, no, he was not predicting it, he was “seeing it”!
At the moment when Orochimaru’s mind was shocked, Lin Yu had already passed through the core area of the Snake Sea Sword Forest and appeared in front of him like a ghost.
The distance between the two people was less than half a meter.
Orochimaru could even see his own face full of horror in Lin Yu’s calm pupils.
It’s too late.
Lin Yu finally thrust his fist out.
It was still that plain and simple punch, without the sound of wind and thunder, without any brilliant special effects, but it condensed all the essence of the Flowing Water and Rock-Breaking Fist.
The fist landed firmly on Orochimaru’s abdomen.
At that moment, Orochimaru felt as if he were struck by a high-speed meteorite. An irresistible, incomprehensible, penetrating force instantly destroyed his internal defenses. His proudly soft body transformation was as fragile as paper before this force.
He could clearly “hear” that the bones, internal organs, and the snakes entwined in his body were all shattered into pieces and crushed into mud under this spiral of terrifying force!
“puff–“
A mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, gushed out of the giant snake mother’s mouth. Her body flew backward like a torn sack being kicked, breaking seven or eight huge trees that were as thick as a man’s embrace before crashing down into the mud a hundred meters away, plowing a long gully.
As he was severely injured, the sea of snakes and swords in the sky collapsed instantly like a phantom that had lost its support, turning into countless black smoke and dissipating into the air.
The forest returned to silence again.
Only in the distance could be heard Orochimaru’s heavy breathing, like a broken bellows.
Lin Yu retracted his fist without even looking at Orochimaru, whose life or death was unknown in the distance. His eyes fell on Sasuke.
“Mission accomplished, let’s go.” His tone was flat.
Sasuke lay on the ground, his mind blank.
it’s over?
The one who made him pursue power at all costs, the one who made him feel despair and fear, the one of the legendary Three Ninjas, Orochimaru… was just… defeated?
He was easily defeated by a man in casual clothes who even had a wallet and keys in his hands, in a way that he could not understand at all, like beating a stray dog.
The strong impact caused his worldview to collapse at this moment.
What he pursued, what he hated, what he feared… turned out to be so insignificant in front of this man.
An emotion more unbearable than death surged into his heart.
That was… humiliating.
The ultimate humiliation.
He, the survivor of the Uchiha clan, a genius burdened with a deep blood feud, actually lay on the ground like a waste, watching others eliminate his enemies for him. And he, from beginning to end, didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
Lin Yu walked up to him, looked down at him, and frowned again.
Just this little injury and you collapsed?”
Lin Yu’s voice was very calm, but it was like a red-hot iron rod, branding Sasuke’s self-esteem.
“Don’t you still have a blood feud to avenge?”
Sasuke clenched his teeth, staring at Lin Yu with his scarlet Sharingan, and a beast-like growl came from his throat. He used his left hand, which was still able to move, to support the ground and tried to struggle to stand up, proving to this man that he was not a weakling.
However, his body, suffering from excessive blood loss and chakra depletion, was completely unresponsive. He barely managed to stand up before falling back again, exhausted, his cheek slamming heavily onto the cold dirt.
At this moment, in the mud in the distance, Orochimaru, who was like a puddle of “mud”, suddenly squirmed strangely, turned into a small white snake, drilled into the ground like lightning, and disappeared.
He escaped.
He didn’t even dare to say a harsh word.
Lin Yu was not surprised at all and didn’t even bother to turn his head.
【Special mission completed】
[Task Evaluation: S (Perfect)][Quest Reward: Chakra Affinity, Triple Magatama Sharingan]A cold system prompt sounded in my mind.
Lin Yu squatted down and looked at Sasuke, who was barely able to sit up.
“Remember this feeling.” Lin Yu pointed at Sasuke’s heart, “this powerlessness, humiliation, and desire for something more powerful. Turn it into fuel for your progress, so that you can hope for revenge.”
After saying that, he stood up and ignored Sasuke who was still in great shock.
Under Sasuke’s gaze, his figure began to become transparent and illusory, just as he had come as abruptly, without the slightest sign.
City Z.
Lin Yu returned to his door in an instant.
It seemed as if the life-and-death battle that just took place in another world was just a dream that lasted less than a second.
The cicadas outside the window are still chirping and the sun is still warm.
He looked down at his hands; they were clean, tidy, and without a trace of blood.
But in his mind, he could clearly remember the feeling of Liushuiyan’s fist shattering the snake’s bones, as well as… the last look in the eyes of the black-haired boy, which was a mixture of humiliation, shock, confusion, and a faint glow of fire.
Lin Yu felt that there seemed to be a little subtle change in his body. He could sense the energy called “chakra” floating in the air. Although it was weak, it did exist.
His mind moved slightly, and a cool energy flowed towards his eyes along the newly opened path.
A hint of scarlet quietly emerged in the depths of the pupils.
The world seemed to be in slow motion at this moment.
The edges of his vision were tinged with a very light red, but the center became clearer than ever before.
A pitch-black magatama slowly rotated in the scarlet eyes, as if analyzing the entire world.
This is the three-magatama Sharingan.
However, when the insight of the Sharingan was combined with his own ability to see through everything, a qualitative change occurred.
He raised his hand, just a simple gesture.
In the vision of the Sharingan, he saw the subtle tremors of every fiber of the arm muscles.
He saw the tiny bioelectric precursor before the nerve signal was transmitted.
He could even “see” the energy trajectory caused by the thought of “raising his hand”.
This is not a prediction.
This means that one has already understood the entire process and results before the cause and effect occurs.
Coupled with his extraordinary understanding…
In his eyes, any enemy’s movement and any ninjutsu hand seals will be instantly broken down into the most basic units.
Principles, flaws, and energy flow trajectories will all be exposed.
Copying will only be the most superficial application.
Seeing through things instantly and counterattacking in a more clever way is the truly despairing use of these eyes on him.
Chapter 8: The Most Filial Son in Asgard? (Old Version)
Lin Yu closed the door, isolating himself from the hustle and bustle of City Z.
The living room was spotless, the air purifier was working quietly, everything was exactly the same as when he left, as if he had never set foot in that ninja world full of killing and strife.
But the energy that flows gently in his body yet contains explosive power, and the scarlet color in his eyes that can be summoned at any time, remind him that everything is real.
He didn’t rush to test his newfound strength. Instead, as usual, he made himself a cup of tea and settled into the sofa. He was so calm, as if he wasn’t the one who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, but a bystander who had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, the cold mechanical prompt sound rang out again in my mind, which had been silent for a long time.
【bite!】
[“Asgard’s First Filial Son” has joined the chat group. ]Lin Yu paused slightly while holding the teacup, and raised his eyebrows.
This group name… is a bit interesting.
At the same time, the black-haired boy who had just experienced a reshaping of his worldview also saw this prompt.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “…”
He didn’t say anything, just watched silently. Ever since being awakened by Lin Yu’s words and witnessing his miraculous disappearance, Sasuke’s initial suspicion of this so-called “chat group” has turned into a kind of awe and exploration. He wanted to know what kind of “people” were in this group.
And the new “most filial son of Asgard” is obviously not as patient as Sasuke.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “What is this? Midgard’s magic? Who dares to use such a trick to play a trick on Odin’s son, Thor! Tell me your name, coward! I will let you see the wrath of Mjolnir!”
A series of powerful declarations filled with recklessness and arrogance exploded in the group.
Lin Yu almost spit out his tea from laughing.
Odin’s son, Thor, the god of thunder.
He’s quite a heavyweight. But judging by his tone, he’s probably the one who hasn’t experienced the harshness of society yet and is at the peak of his life.
Lin Yu drank a sip of tea slowly and typed in the group slowly.
[The Adult]: “Welcome, new member. To join, please read the group announcement first, and then… pay the membership fee.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Group leader? Are you the mastermind behind this? I am the heir to Asgard, the future king of the gods! How dare you demand payment from a god? Mortal, your ignorance and arrogance shock me!”
[The Adult]: “Oh? God?”
The Lord: “A god who can be knocked down by a tranquilizer gun, rubbed to the ground by Earthlings, and whose godhood is bestowed and taken away by an old man? I’d rather call you… a superpowered, long-lived alien.”
After this message was sent out, the group fell into deathly silence.
Sasuke, who was far away in a corner of Konoha Village and was trying hard to refine his chakra, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw these words.
“That lord”…what does he know?
Not only does he know about his own world and Orochimaru, he even knows the details of this new guy who calls himself “Thunder God”?
This omniscient feeling made Sasuke feel a chill from the depths of his soul. The more he tried to guess Lin Yu’s depth, the more he realized that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
In another magnificent palace full of mythology, a heroic man with blond hair, a red cape and a war hammer in his hand was staring at the empty chat box in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief.
“How…how could he know?!” Thor shouted.
Being knocked down by a tranquilizer gun was an embarrassing thing that happened to him when he first arrived on Earth. No one knew about it except those people from S.H.I.E.L.D.!
As for the fact that his godhood was taken away by his father Odin… that was the scar deep in his heart that he was most reluctant to mention!
Who is this guy who calls himself “that sir”?!
Could it be the work of Loki, the god of trickery? No, it didn’t seem like it. Loki’s pranks were annoying, but they had never been so soul-piercing.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “You… who are you?! Are you spying on me?”
Thor’s tone had changed from arrogance to a hint of surprise and vigilance.
[The Adult]: “Spying on you? There’s no need for that. By the way, your group name is very fitting, I like it. No need to change it.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]…
Thor pronounced his new name word by word, his face instantly flushed the color of liver. Only then did he notice the irony of this name.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Asshole! I’m going to kill you!!”
He roared angrily and swung Thor’s hammer in his hand. Lightning and thunder flashed in the palace, scaring the surrounding servants so much that they fell to their knees.
However, his anger was meaningless to the other two people in the chat group.
At this time, Sasuke, who had been diving, suddenly bubbled up.
Uchiha Sasuke: “Idiot. All you can do is run wild with incompetence, no different from the last one in the class.”
His words were as cold and concise as ever, but full of the arrogance unique to the Uchiha clan, and… a hint of protection for Lin Yu.
Although he didn’t understand why Lin Yu did this, after seeing Lin Yu’s strength, he subconsciously put himself and Lin Yu on the same side. In his perception, this new “god” was more like a simple-minded reckless man.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “What did you say?! You little brat hiding in a dark corner! Dare you tell me your name and coordinates! I’ll make you taste the power of thunder!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Uchiha Sasuke. I’m in Konoha, waiting for you.”
After that, Sasuke ignored it.
He had more important things to do. Refining his chakra, adapting to the changes in his body, and then… doing everything he could to become stronger.
He wanted to catch up with the man, or at least see his back.
Thor felt like his lungs were about to explode after being ridiculed by two people in succession. One was mysterious and unpredictable, the other was cold and contemptuous. Together, these two made him feel like a clown.
He was about to say something angrily, but found that Lin Yu had stopped replying.
[The Adult]: “Alright, that’s enough. I have something else to do, you guys take your time chatting.”
Lin Yu closed the chat group, stretched, and stood up from the sofa.
It feels good to tease the future Avengers members.
However, staying home all the time isn’t an option. Newfound power still needs to be familiarized and mastered.
He put on his shoes and walked out the door.
…
The streets of City Z were, as usual, sparsely populated.
This is an area where monster disasters occur frequently. Except for a few people who are forced to do so or are simply too insane, few people are willing to live here for a long time.
Lin Yu walked aimlessly. He was not looking for anything deliberately. He was just simply feeling the changes in the world in his eyes after the Sharingan was opened.
Chapter 9 Because I am the genius itself (old version)
“You really do live here.”
A cold female voice with a hint of deliberate arrogance came from behind.
Lin Yu put away his Sharingan, without stopping or even looking back.
“Miss Fubuki, what can I do for you?”
Behind him, Hell SnowBlizzard, who was wearing a dark green tight long skirt, black curly hair draped over her shoulders, and had a curvy figure, was slowly walking towards him with two burly men in black suits.
She looked at Lin Yu’s leisurely back, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Last time, it was this man who had appeared when she was at her most desperate, and in a way she couldn’t understand, he had easily dealt with the strange man who had left her helpless. Afterwards, she used all the intelligence channels of B-class heroes, but found that there was no information on this man, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
The more she couldn’t find out, the more she cared.
This feeling of being out of control made her very uncomfortable.
“I’ve checked your information,” Chuixue walked to Lin Yu’s side and walked side by side with him, while her followers kept their distance tactfully. “It’s all blank. Who are you?”
“An ordinary citizen passing by.” Lin Yu’s answer was flawless.
“Ordinary citizens?” Fubuki raised her lips in a mocking arc, as if she had heard something funny. “Ordinary citizens can see through the weaknesses of a Tiger-level monster in an instant? Are you insulting my intelligence, or the Hero Association’s rating system?”
“Maybe that weirdo is too weak.” Lin Yu turned his head and glanced at her.
In the sunlight, his dark pupils were as deep as a starry sky, making all the questions Fubuki had prepared for him inexplicably stuck in her throat. She felt as if she was completely seen through by those eyes. Whether it was her deliberately maintained arrogance or the deep fear and resentment she felt towards her sister, nothing could hide.
This feeling is terrible.
She forced herself to look away and take the initiative back into her hands.
“I didn’t come to you today to investigate your past.” Fubuki took a deep breath and regained her aura as the leader of the “Fubuki Group”. “Mr. Lin Yu, you must be very strong, far above most B-class heroes. However, it is difficult for one person to survive in this world alone. Monsters are getting stronger and stronger, and the competition in the Hero Association is getting more and more fierce.”
She stopped, looked at Lin Yu solemnly, and stretched out her hand.
“Join my Fubuki team. I’m the number one in B-rank. With my support and your strength, we can advance to A-rank together. In A-rank, I can also provide you with shelter and keep you from being harassed by those monsters.”
Her tone was full of temptation, and the blueprint she painted was hard to refuse for any ambitious B-class hero.
However, Lin Yu just looked at her quietly, with a faint smile in his eyes.
“Shelter? Do you mean… from your sister’s harassment?”
That one sentence, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced through all the disguises that Fubuki had carefully constructed.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
“You…what nonsense are you talking about!” She retorted harshly, but her slightly trembling voice revealed her inner panic.
The trembling Tornado, the second-best S-ranker, the invincible, was a shadow she would never escape. She formed the “Blizzard Group” not so much to climb the ranks as to establish a “safe zone” of her own within the middling B-rank, a place where she could breathe and avoid having to face her genius sister.
“You’re afraid of her.” Lin Yu stated a fact, his tone flat and without any emotion. “You’re afraid that no matter how hard you try, you can never reach her level. So you stopped here, using quantity to make up for the difference in quality, using a group of ‘companions’ to embolden yourself and create a false sense of security.”
“Shut up!” Fubuki growled in a panic, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her most vulnerable and unbearable side was exposed to the sun by a man she had only met twice.
“I don’t need your sympathy!” She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down. “You don’t understand at all! You don’t understand how desperate it is to live in the shadow of a genius!”
“I really don’t understand.” Lin Yu nodded, retracted his gaze that seemed to see through everything, and started again, “Because I am the genius itself.”
This sentence hurts more than any previous one.
It is calm, yet filled with an irrefutable arrogance.
Chuixue stood there in a daze, looking at the figure walking away, and felt a huge sense of powerlessness and humiliation surge in her heart.
However, at this moment, a hair-raising buzzing sound came from far away and became overwhelming.
The sky darkened in just a few seconds.
Not dark clouds.
It’s a mosquito!
Endless mosquitoes gathered into a black cloud of death, blocking out the sunlight. Pedestrians on the street screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
Some of the slower runners were instantly overwhelmed by the mosquito swarm. Only a few shrill screams were heard, and when the swarm dispersed, only shrunken, mummified corpses remained.
Fubuki’s expression instantly became extremely solemn.
“It’s a weirdo!”
She immediately put her personal feelings aside. As the top hero in Class B, she had a responsibility to protect the citizens.
“Quickly evacuate the crowd!” she ordered the follower behind her whose legs were already weak with fear.
Then she raised her head and looked towards the center of the terrifying mosquito swarm.
A charming and strange figure is floating in the air.
She has the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a giant mosquito. Her limbs are like sharp joints, and behind her are a pair of constantly vibrating wings.
The demon-level monster – Mosquito Girl.
“Ah… what fresh blood! It’s been a long time since we had such a grand banquet.” The Mosquito Girl stuck out her scarlet tongue, licked her lips, and let out a satisfied moan.
Her gaze swept across the “food” running around on the ground, and finally fixed on the Hell Snow Blowing, the only one who did not run away, but instead looked up and looked at her.
“Oh? There’s still one left. Your blood smells… even more delicious than the others.”
Fubuki opened her arms, a green halo of superpowers surged around her, and a strong wind began to gather.
“Weirdo! Your party ends here!”
And not far away, the man who had already walked away stopped.
Lin Yu turned around and watched the scene with interest.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“A ghost-level monster… perfect, let me try out my sword.”
In the scarlet eyes, a pitch-black magatama was spinning quietly.
Chapter 10: Fubuki’s Desperate Resistance (Old Version)
“Hell Storm!”
Fubuki let out a delicate cry and thrust her arms forward.
With her as the center, a violent tornado visible to the naked eye, mixed with sand, gravel and debris, roared into the sky and headed straight for the Mosquito Girl and the black mosquito cloud in the sky!
This is her signature move, and proof of her strength as the top of B-rank.
The howling wind was terrifying. Countless mosquitoes were swept into it and instantly torn to pieces. A huge gap was torn open in the black mosquito cloud.
On the street, those citizens who had not run far away saw this scene and cheered as if they had survived a disaster.
“It’s Fubuki-sama!”
“Great! It’s Hell Blowing Snow, the number one in B-Class!”
“Saved!”
Hearing the cheers of the people, a confident smile appeared on Fubuki’s face.
See, even without my sister, even if I stay at rank B, I can still protect everyone!
However, her confidence only lasted less than three seconds.
“Oh? That’s interesting.”
The Mosquito Girl hovered on the edge of the storm, her face showing no fear but rather a playful expression.
She waved her hand gently.
“Go, my children, and show her what true despair is.”
As if receiving a command, the torn mosquito cloud, far from disintegrating, reassembled at an even faster rate. Moreover, this time, they no longer clashed in a chaotic manner, but instead formed a torrent of black water, like living drills, frantically drilling into the tornado maintained by the blowing snow from all directions!
“Buzz—buzz—buzz—”
The dense flapping sound of wings is so loud that it almost pierces the eardrums.
Fubuki’s expression changed.
She felt that the rate at which her superpowers were being consumed was increasing at a terrifying rate!
Each mosquito, with its tiny yet resilient body, resists the tearing force of the storm. One or two mosquitoes are nothing, but when thousands, hundreds of millions of them come together, the power they create is truly transformative!
Her tornado was like a dam being gnawed by countless ants. It looked solid, but in fact it was being disintegrated bit by bit from the inside.
“hateful……”
Sweat trickled down Fubuki’s forehead. She gritted her teeth, frantically squeezing her mental strength to maintain the power of Hell Mist.
But all this is in vain.
In just over ten seconds, accompanied by a muffled “puff” sound, the tornado connecting the sky and the earth suddenly dissipated.
“ah–“
Her superpowers were forcibly broken, and Fubuki groaned in pain, staggered back two steps, her face as pale as paper.
The swarms of mosquitoes in the sky were unharmed, and even became more agitated and ferocious because they had just sucked a large amount of blood.
“The game is over.”
The Mosquito Girl’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Fubuki as if teleporting.
Too fast!
Fubuki’s pupils suddenly contracted, and she only had time to raise her arms and use her superpowers to set up a mental barrier in front of her.
“Crack!”
As fragile as a layer of glass.
The mosquito girl’s blade-like limbs easily pierced the barrier and scratched Fubuki’s shoulder.
“Sizzle—”
Blood splattered everywhere, and a huge gash was cut in her dark green dress. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, causing her to let out an uncontrollable cry of pain.
“Your blood is indeed delicious.” The mosquito girl licked the blood on her limbs in ecstasy, with greed flashing in her eyes.
She did not kill immediately, but moved around Fubuki at high speed like a cat playing with a mouse, and her sharp limbs left wounds on her body one after another.
Fubuki fought back desperately, but her superpowers were clumsy and slow in close combat, and she couldn’t catch Mosquito Woman’s movements at all. The strength she was so proud of was useless in the face of absolute speed and strength.
Is this… the strength of a demon-level monster?
Is this… the limit of B-class heroes?
Her consciousness began to blur, and the weakness from excessive blood loss came like a tide. Fubuki’s body swayed and finally, she half-knelt on the ground, blood staining the ground beneath her.
The members of the Fubuki Group were all knocked down at the first sight.
Fubuki looked at the man not far away who had been standing there like an outsider from beginning to end.
Why…isn’t he leaving yet?
Are you frightened? Or…are you laughing at me?
Humiliation, unwillingness, despair…all kinds of emotions surged in my heart.
“it’s over.”
The Mosquito Girl seemed to be tired of playing. She raised her sharp limbs high and aimed them at Fubuki’s head, ready to give this “delicious meal” the final blow.
And at this critical moment.
Lin Yu, who had been watching the battle silently, finally took action.
He did not have earth-shattering momentum, nor did he have any fancy moves. He just took a step forward in such an ordinary way.
But it was this step that made the entire battlefield seem to be paused.
No, not a pause.
In Lin Yu’s vision, the world never stops.
With his Sharingan activated, he has been analyzing massive amounts of information since the beginning of the battle.
[Target: Strange Mosquito Girl.][Danger Level: Ghost (can reach the peak of Ghost level after absorbing blood).][Ability Analysis: 1. Controls mosquito swarms, capable of both attack and defense. Can feed on the mosquitoes, increasing its own strength and speed. Energy transfer pathways analyzed.][Ability Analysis: 2. Super-high-speed flight and close combat capabilities. Muscle fiber structure analyzed, movement patterns predicted.][Weakness Analysis: The core energy source is located at the junction of the chest and abdomen, structural strength level C. The mental wave frequency band that controls the mosquito swarm has been locked.]In Lin Yu’s eyes, the “Hell Mist” of Hell Blowing Snow was disassembled into the most basic energy flow. He could clearly see how that superpower rolled up the air and formed a storm, and he could also see where its energy core was and where its weakest link was.
Every attack and every high-speed movement of the mosquito girl were extremely clear under the slow-motion effect of Lin Yu’s Sharingan. He could even see the tiny vibrations of the mosquito girl’s wing muscles for a few tenths of a second before she made an attack, and thus predict all her next moves.
Everything is under control.
He watched the Mosquito Girl’s fatal blow about to land, and also saw Fubuki kneeling on the ground with her eyes full of despair and unwillingness.
“It’s really… embarrassing.”
Lin Yu said softly.
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Fubuki who was about to be executed and Mosquito Girl who was about to be executed.
The Mosquito Girl paused, and her scarlet compound eyes turned to this ignorant man.
“Another one seeking death?”
She grinned, gave up blowing snow, and her figure flashed. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, she instantly appeared in front of Lin Yu, and her sharp claws went straight for his heart!
In her opinion, this man was already dead.
However, what she saw were Lin Yu’s dark, calm and somewhat scary eyes.
And… deep in the pupil, there was a hint of scarlet that quietly lit up, and a pitch-black magatama that slowly rotated within it.
“Too slow.”
Lin Yu uttered three words softly.
His body just moved a little to the left.
Just this tiny difference caused the Mosquito Girl’s fatal blow to grazed the corner of his clothes and missed.
How could this happen?!
Chapter 11: Snow Blowing Shocks Mosquito Girl and Gets Killed Instantly (Old Version)
A flash of surprise flashed through the Mosquito Girl’s mind.
Before she could react, a clean, slender hand had already lightly pressed between her chest and abdomen.
That was the core of her body’s energy, and also the most vulnerable place, as Lin Yu analyzed through the Sharingan.
“Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist.”
Lin Yu’s voice was very soft, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of Mosquito Girl and Hell Blowing Snow at the same time.
Hell Snow’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist? Isn’t that the famous move of S-Class Hero “Silver Fang” Bang? Who the hell is this man?!
Mosquito Girl didn’t understand the meaning of those five words, but she could feel the hand pressing down on her chest and abdomen. It seemed gentle and weak, but it was welded to her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free. An unprecedented fear, born of life’s instinct, like an icy tide, instantly drowned her sanity, which had been swollen by the bloodsucking.
She wanted to step back, to scream, to detonate all her strength and tear the man in front of her into pieces.
But it was too late.
“boom–“
There are no earth-shattering explosions or gorgeous light and shadow effects.
The sound was as dull as a huge rock thrown into a bottomless ancient well.
With Lin Yu’s palm as the center, an indescribable force, like layers of water waves, instantly penetrated the mosquito girl’s body. This force was precise and condensed, without a trace of leakage, yet it was domineering and overwhelming, crushing everything.
The mosquito girl’s scarlet compound eyes froze in an instant, and then countless fine cracks, like spider webs, spread rapidly from the core of her chest and abdomen to her entire body.
“Crack…Crack…”
The crisp sound of shattering was particularly harsh in the silent battlefield.
Her proudly hard exoskeleton was as fragile as a dried biscuit before the penetrating force of the Flowing Rock Crushing Fist. First her chest, then her abdomen, then her long, sharp limbs, and finally her rapidly vibrating wings.
Everything completely collapsed from the inside within a second.
The Mosquito Girl didn’t even manage to utter a scream. Her body, like a piece of shattered porcelain, was transformed into countless tiny, metallic fragments in a breeze, crumbling away in a chaotic manner.
In the end, only the relatively intact head was left, rolling to the ground covered with dust, with eternal astonishment and confusion.
A powerful monster who annihilated a group of B-class heroes, forced the number one B-class Hell Snowblower into a desperate situation, and after absorbing a huge amount of blood, his strength was infinitely close to the peak of the Demon level.
Just like that… gone?
One hit.
Just one hit.
Lin Yu slowly withdrew his hand and even patted his palm lightly, as if he was just brushing away a little non-existent dust. His expression did not change from beginning to end, as calm as if nothing had happened.
Behind him, Hellblowing Snow was kneeling on the ground, his whole body frozen.
She raised her head and stared blankly at Lin Yu’s back. The back was not particularly tall, but in her eyes at this moment, it seemed like an insurmountable sacred mountain that supported the sky and the earth.
The end of despair is not death, but a deeper and suffocating feeling of powerlessness.
The superpowers she was proud of, the “Blizzard Group” she had painstakingly built, her dignity and pride as the number one in Class B, were all crushed to pieces by that casual blow just now, leaving not even a trace of residue.
That strength, that composure, that attitude of treating ghost-level monsters as nothing…
S-level.
No, it might even be… stronger than an ordinary S-class hero!
The wind stopped.
In the sky, the black cloud of countless mosquitoes, covering the entire sky and the sun, lost control the moment Mosquito Girl died. Like puppets with their strings cut, or a swarm of drones that had lost their signal, they circled and buzzed for a few seconds before falling from the sky with a crackling sound like rain.
A “black rain” composed of countless corpses covered the ruins.
Lin Yu turned around, his black pupils calmly looking at Fubuki who was still kneeling on the ground. In those eyes, the scarlet magatama had disappeared, returning to its original depth.
“Are you okay?” he asked calmly.
Hell Snowstorm wanted to stand up and maintain her dignity as the number one in Class B, but the fatigue and exhaustion from the previous battle, as well as the huge mental shock at this moment, made her whole body weak, and it was extremely difficult for her to even move a finger.
She bit her lip, almost drawing blood, and dug her nails into the dirt on her palm, trying to use the pain to mask her inner devastation.
“Who… are you?” Her voice was a little hoarse, with a slight tremor that she didn’t even notice.
Lin Yu did not answer directly, but just looked around. The members of the Fubuki Group fell to the ground in a mess. Although they were still alive, they were all injured and had lost their combat effectiveness.
“The B-class hero Blizzard team was completely annihilated by a demon-level monster.” Lin Yu’s tone was as if he was stating a fact, without any emotion. “If I weren’t here today, the Hero Association’s records would probably have an additional entry: ‘The first B-class Hell Blizzard, and all the members of the Blizzard team, failed to defeat the demon-level monster and died heroically.'”
Every word was like a needle, piercing deep into Hell Blowing Snow’s heart.
She couldn’t refute it.
Because that’s the truth.
The cruel, bloody truth.
“Recruiting some small fry that even wolf-level monsters can’t deal with, forming a so-called faction, relying on the advantage in numbers to maintain its ranking as the number one in B-level.” Lin Yu’s gaze fell back on her again, and that gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts. “Do you think this is strength?”
“Shut up!” Hell Snowblower raised his head suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and roared with all his strength.
A flicker of unwillingness reignited in her eyes. That was her last, most fragile dignity.
“What do you know? You know nothing at all!” She gasped, her chest heaving violently. “Do you think I want this? Do you know what it feels like to live in the shadow of an absolute genius? No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I fight, I can never reach her heights! I formed the Fubuki Group and maintained my top spot in Class B just to prove… to prove that I’m not just a shadow following behind her!”
By the end of her speech, tears were etched in her voice. The grievances, resentment, and inferiority that had been pent up in her heart for so long finally burst forth.
Lin Yu listened quietly without interrupting her.
Of course he knows.
Hell Snow, the second in S-class, is the biological sister of “Tornado of Thrill”.
A “mortal” who always lives under the halo of her sister. All her pride and paranoia stem from this.
Looking at the woman in front of him who had taken off all disguises and exposed her inner vulnerability, Lin Yu’s eyes showed a slight fluctuation for the first time.
Chapter 12: Dr. Kinos’s Greed (Old Version)
He shook his head, his tone remaining calm. “You’re using the wrong methods to pursue a false goal. You’re not proving yourself; you’re simply using the title of ‘number one’ to numb yourself. True strength is never defined by ranking or the number of subordinates.”
“You…” Fubuki was speechless. She found that she couldn’t find any words to refute.
In order to break the suffocating awkwardness, she almost subconsciously changed the subject.
She lifted her gaze from the ground and met his calm eyes again, her tone holding a deliberately maintained calmness.
“We’ve known each other for a few days, but I still don’t know your name?”
Lin Yu met her gaze calmly, his thin lips slightly opened.
“Lin Yu.”
at the same time.
Deep underground in City Z, in a huge laboratory filled with futuristic technology.
A gentle-looking middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses was staring intently at a huge holographic screen in front of him.
The screen showed the last few seconds before Mosquito Girl was killed instantly.
“Pause! Zoom in! Analyze frame by frame!” The man gave orders to the air, his voice filled with a hint of uncontrollable excitement and trembling.
He is the founder of the “House of Evolution” and a genius scientist – Dr. Kinos.
The image on the screen froze on Lin Yu’s dark pupils, and then was infinitely magnified.
“This pupil… no, this isn’t a human eye!” Dr. Kinos adjusted his glasses, his eyes flashing with a frenzied glint behind the lenses. “The moment the Mosquito Woman attacked, his body executed an evasive maneuver in 0.17 seconds! This has already surpassed the limits of neural reflexes! Is this… prediction? No, it’s more advanced than prediction! It’s some form of dynamic visual capture and information analysis!”
The picture continues to play.
Lin Yu’s palm lightly pressed on the mosquito girl’s core.
“The energy output is stable, with a concentration of 99.9 percent! There’s no excess energy dissipation! What perfect energy control!”
Finally, there is a scene of Mosquito Girl’s body disintegrating.
“Internal structure destruction! A chain reaction detonated from the energy core! Is this… a martial art? No, this is the art of killing that combines physics, energetics, and human anatomy to perfection!”
Dr. Kinos was trembling with excitement, as if he was admiring the most perfect work of art.
“Sample! This is the most perfect evolutionary sample! It’s completely different from my failed creations created through genetic grafting and mechanical modification!”
He turned abruptly and looked into the shadows of the laboratory.
“Armored Gorilla! The Lion King!”
“Doctor.” A modified gorilla covered in heavy armor and a burly man with a lion’s head walked out from the shadows and knelt on one knee respectfully.
“I’ve changed my plan.” A gleam of greed flashed in Dr. Kinos’s eyes. “Give up on retrieving Mosquito Girl’s combat data. You two, head to the coordinates immediately. I don’t care what method you use…”
His voice became a little sharp with excitement.
“Bring that man back alive! Remember, he must be alive! He will be the key for me, Kinos, to the realm of God!”
“Yes! Doctor!”
The Armored Gorilla and the Lion King took the order, turned around and strode away.
Dr. Kinos looked back at Lin Yu’s calm face on the screen and murmured to himself, “Human evolution has finally taken the right direction. Lin Yu…you are mine.”
Above the ruins of City Z, the whistling sound that came from far away and gradually became a deafening roar in just a few seconds.
boom!
A golden stream of light, like a meteorite from outer space, carrying an unmatched momentum, slammed heavily less than fifty meters away from Lin Yu and Chuixue.
The hard ground was instantly smashed into a massive, spider-web-like cracked pit over five meters in diameter. Dust and debris flew everywhere, creating a powerful shockwave.
Hell Blowing Snow subconsciously shielded herself with her arms, barely avoiding being blown away by the gust of air. She was horrified. What a terrifying way to make an appearance!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing a figure in the center of the pit.
He was a young man who looked no more than nineteen or twenty years old, with dazzling blond hair and handsome features, but his expression was as cold as a machine. His body, save for his face, was mostly composed of precision machinery with a metallic sheen. His arms were ferocious weapon systems, and his eyes were electronic sensors that shone with a faint blue light.
“The Devil Cyborg” – Genos.
Genos slowly stood up from the pit, and the sensors on his body quickly scanned the entire battlefield.
【Scanning completed.】
[Environmental Analysis: Traces of large-scale combat, residual energy level determined to be “ghost.”][Vital Signs Analysis: Multiple life forms detected, most in critical condition or coma. B-rank hero “Hell Snow Blowing” has stable vital signs, but significantly depleted energy.][Abnormal target locked: Unknown life form detected, codenamed “Lin Yu.” Vital signs are extremely stable, and energy fluctuations are undetectable.][Monster Remains Analysis: Fragments of biological tissue from the “Ghost”-level monster “Mosquito Woman” have been discovered. The threat has been eliminated.]Genos’s electronic eyes finally locked onto Lin Yu.
According to the intelligence he received from the Hero Association before his departure, a powerful group of monsters had appeared in City Z, among which “Mosquito Girl” was the most destructive. The purpose of his trip was to eliminate this threat.
But now it seems that someone has taken the lead.
The only man standing at the scene, who looked unharmed, was undoubtedly the biggest suspect.
“Was it you who killed that monster?” Genos spoke. His voice had been electronically processed, sounding somewhat flat and without any emotion.
The moment Hell SnowBlizzard saw Genos, his heart skipped a beat.
Who is this person?
She looked at Genos, then at Lin Yu, and an unprecedented sense of absurdity came over her. Once upon a time, she was the absolute “queen” of this area, but now, she was like a rabbit that accidentally broke into a dragon’s lair, even breathing loudly seemed unnecessary.
Lin Yu’s Sharingan analyzed Genos from inside out the moment he appeared.
[Target: Cyborg Genos. ][Power Core: A spherical, high-concentration energy core located in the chest cavity. It operates stably, but there is a risk of overload.][Weapon System Analysis: Built-in “Incinerators” in both arms, “Machine Gun Cannons” in the palms, “Jet Kicks” in the legs… a total of twelve attack modes have been analyzed.][Weakness Analysis: Core armor strength is B+. Structural weaknesses exist at the energy pipeline connections. Combat mode tends toward fire suppression and lacks flexibility.]In Lin Yu’s eyes, this aggressive devil-like transformed human was like a sophisticated machine with all its outer shells removed, exposing all its internal circuits and parts, with no secrets at all.
“It’s me.” Lin Yu admitted frankly.
Genos’s electronic eyes flickered, as if processing the information.
Chapter 13 A Legal Identity and a Stable Income (Old Version)
“According to my data analysis, after absorbing the city’s blood, the ‘Mosquito Girl”s’ overall strength has reached the peak of the Demon level, infinitely close to the Dragon level. Your strength is very strong.” Genos made an objective evaluation.
His eyes swept over the members of the Fubuki group on the ground, then looked at the pale-faced Hell Fubuki, and finally returned to Lin Yu again.
“But you’re not a registered hero of the Hero Association.” Genos stated the facts. “Your identity is unknown.”
“So?” Lin Yu’s mouth curled up slightly, “You want to arrest me?”
“No.” Genos shook his head. “My mission is to eliminate the monsters. Now that the threat has been eliminated, my mission is complete. However, I am very interested in your power.”
As he spoke, he took a step forward and stared at Lin Yu with burning eyes.
“I’ve been searching for a way to become stronger. Tell me, how did you gain this power?”
Hell Snowblower was stunned listening to this.
The devil’s transformed human is actually asking an unknown man for advice on how to become stronger?
Is there something wrong with this world?
Lin Yu looked at Genos’s eyes, which were full of persistence and curiosity, and couldn’t help but feel a little funny. This scene seemed familiar no matter how he looked at it.
“Want to know?” Lin Yu asked back.
“Yes.” Genos nodded without hesitation.
“When you can beat me, I might consider telling you.” Lin Yu’s answer was simple and direct.
Genos’s electronic eyes flashed again at high speed, as if calculating the odds of winning against Lin Yu. After a few seconds, he came to a conclusion.
[Calculating win rate… Insufficient data, unable to estimate. Target’s power is unfathomable, combat method unknown. Preliminary judgment: Win rate less than 10%.]Genos’ silence made the air seem to freeze.
His words “You are not a registered hero of the Hero Association” flashed through Lin Yu’s mind.
In this world full of weirdos, having an official identity does seem to save you a lot of trouble.
“Your mission is complete.” Lin Yu turned his gaze to Genos and said calmly, “You can leave now.”
Genos looked at him deeply, without saying another word, turned around and turned into a stream of metallic light and disappeared at the end of the street.
Now, only Lin Yu and the Fubuki group with complicated emotions are left here.
“You…” Hell Blowing Snow looked at Lin Yu, hesitant to speak.
She had so many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn’t know where to start.
“Speaking of which, regarding the registration of heroes…” Lin Yu muttered to himself, breaking the awkwardness.
Hell Snowblower’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Are you going to register as a hero?” she immediately asked, with a hint of urgency in her voice that she herself didn’t even notice.
“Well, that sounds interesting.” Lin Yu nodded.
“I, I’ll go with you!” Hell Snow blurted out.
After saying that, she seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly added: “I just want to see what kind of rating the Hero Association will give you.”
She needed an objective, authoritative number to measure the horror of the man before her.
Lin Yu shrugged indifferently, which was considered as agreement.
City A, the Hero Association Headquarters.
The magnificent building is full of modern technology and symbolizes the highest barrier for mankind against monsters.
The staff at the reception desk yawned in boredom, as they were already accustomed to new people coming to register.
“Name, age, and special skills?” he asked without raising his head.
“Lin Yu, 21 years old, special skills… I think I know a little bit of boxing and kicking.”
The staff member finally raised his eyelids, glanced at Lin Yu, and then looked at the famous B-level No. 1, Hell Blowing Snow, behind him.
His expression instantly became serious. The person who could be accompanied by Hell Snowstorm in person must be no simple person.
“Please follow me for a physical fitness test.”
The first item is the strength test.
In front of a giant metal testing machine, a staff member explained, “Hit this sensor plate with all your might. The highest record in history was set by the S-class hero, Vested Sage.”
Hell Snow held her breath. She wanted to know how powerful this man was who could kill a top-level demon-level monster in seconds.
Lin Yu walked forward slowly, used some techniques, and charged forward for a strike.
The moment the fist touched the sensor plate, there was no earth-shattering sound.
There was only a dull “puff”.
Immediately afterwards, the core sensing area of the test machine, which was said to be able to withstand the impact of meteorites, sank inward and cracked like a punctured piece of paper.
The numbers on the screen jumped wildly, and finally the screen went black with a wisp of green smoke rising out.
The staff member’s mouth opened into an “O” shape, and the clipboard in his hand fell to the ground with a “bang”.
Hell Snow’s pupils shrank to the size of needle points at this moment.
The second item is speed test.
The 100-meter special running track is covered with infrared timers.
As the start signal sounded, Lin Yu’s figure swayed slightly.
He seemed to have lost weight, and his toes lightly tapped the specially made plastic track.
There was no explosive force from pushing off the ground, nor was there any sound of wind.
He just floated up like a feather held up by the breeze.
In Hell Snowblowing’s superpower perception, Lin Yu’s presence became extremely weak at that moment.
In her field of vision, Lin Yu’s figure did not stretch into an afterimage, but flickered at the starting point like a TV screen with poor signal.
The next moment, he appeared silently behind the finish line.
System judgment: The speed is too fast to be measured.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Hell Blowing Snow’s forehead.
The third item is the reaction test.
In a confined space, hundreds of launch ports will shoot rubber bullets from all directions.
“Please hold on for thirty seconds without getting hit.”
The test begins.
The rain of bullets came in an overwhelming manner, so dense that there was no gap.
Lin Yu relied on his insight into everything without even moving an inch.
At the moment when those rubber bullets were about to touch his body, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and passed by him strangely.
Time is up. Lin Yu is spotless.
In the monitoring room, Hell Snow and the staff member were completely numb.
Lin Yu took less than a minute to hand in the final written test.
With trembling hands, the staff entered all the data into the rating system.
[Comprehensive evaluation in progress…]【Physical fitness: cannot be estimated.】
Intelligence: Immeasurable.
[Sense of Justice: Immeasurable.][Achievement: Killed the top-level demon-level monster ‘Mosquito Girl’. ]【Comprehensive evaluation grade: B, 77th place.】
“B, B grade?” The staff couldn’t believe their eyes and confirmed it several times.
He quickly explained to Lin Yu: “Mr. Lin Yu, I’m very sorry! In order to prevent hero level inflation, the association stipulates that all new heroes, no matter how amazing their performance, can only start at level B at the highest.”
“This is a hard and fast rule. Even Mr. Bang, who is an S-rank, started out as a B-rank.”
“I… I also started from C-rank and worked my way up to the top of B-rank.” Hell Snow added softly, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
Her pride was crushed in the face of these miraculous data.
However, there was no disappointment or dissatisfaction on Lin Yu’s face.
“B-rank? Sure.”
What he really cares about is something else.
“You get paid, right?”
“Ah? Ah! Yes! B-level heroes have a fixed salary and activity funds every month!” The staff nodded quickly.
“That’s good.” Lin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
A legal identity and a stable income.
Chapter 14: Required Course for the God King (Old Edition)
Lin Yu had just said goodbye to Chuixue, and the slightly subtle atmosphere had not yet completely dissipated from his heart. The moment he pushed open the door, he felt something unusual. It was not a change in the physical space, but a subtle connection originating from the spiritual level – the chat group was unusually active.
He casually draped his coat on the sofa, his consciousness sinking into the light screen in his mind.
Lines of conversations were refreshed rapidly, and the two parties who spoke made Lin Yu raise his eyebrows involuntarily.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! Sasuke, can you believe this? I, Odin’s son, the future king of Asgard, am being asked to deal with mountains of… paperwork! That stuff is more suffocating than a Frost Giant’s bad breath!”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “The words on those parchments are as small as ants, and their contents are more confusing than the mists of Niflheim. I would rather fight the fire giants of Muspelheim all day than even look at them again!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Oh.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “‘Oh’? Is that all you can say? I thought we were friends! Friends should stand together against my enemies and rail against these stupid rules together when I complain!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “…A strong person needs to control everything, including what you consider boring.”
Lin Yu looked a little dazed.
Thor and Sasuke? How did these two characters, each with their own distinct style, develop such a profound friendship? One is fiery and eager to pour out his heart; the other is thrifty, his emotions constantly under control. Their chat logs, like a medley of stand-up comedy and sighs, are filled with a strange harmony.
Thor seemed completely oblivious to Sasuke’s implication, continuing to vent his frustrations in the group chat. He complained about how the court minister, Fabius, had, in front of everyone, used a series of cumbersome rituals and laws to imply that he was “brave but foolish,” and how his father, King Odin, had turned a blind eye, seemingly condoning this test.
“He even tested me in public today about the trade agreement between the nine kingdoms of the World Tree! God, I only care about whether my hammer can smash the enemy’s head. Who would remember that kind of thing!” Thor’s words were full of exclamation marks, as if you could hear his roar.
Sasuke was silent for a moment, as if trying to form his words.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Intelligence is also a part of power.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “But this isn’t a fight! This is torture! That Fabuti is grinning like a fox that stole cheese. I really want to hammer him…”
Lin Yu understood this. Wasn’t this typical workplace PUA… No, wasn’t it the classic suppression of a royal heir’s path to success? Odin wanted Thor to grow, so he set him a test. Meanwhile, an ambitious individual wanted to use this opportunity to step on Thor to ascend to power, or at least undermine the prestige of the future God King.
Thor’s character is more brave than strategic, and in this purely civil and political game, he will indeed be manipulated.
Just as Lin Yu was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
【Entry System Task Release】
[Task Name: God King’s Compulsory Course][Mission Type: Assistance Mission]Mission Description: Group member Thor faces a crucial test on his path to the throne. His father, Odin, hopes he will shed his recklessness and demonstrate the wisdom and grace of a king. However, challengers within the court are attempting to exploit this, turning the test into a humiliation. Please use your wisdom to help Thor resolve this crisis perfectly and restore his prestige in Asgard.
[Quest Reward: Unlock a new entry – [Divinity]; Divine affinity increased.]Lin Yu’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
[Divinity]!
This was no ordinary term. For him, who had begun to encounter extraordinary powers, the word “divinity” meant the key to a higher level. Whether it was magic, energy, or understanding of the laws, it could lead to a qualitative leap.
And this time the system didn’t seem to want to let him travel through time.
This favor must be done, and it must be done beautifully.
He stopped diving and tapped his fingertips lightly on the virtual keyboard.
[The Adult]: “It sounds like you’ve been in a little trouble, Thor.”
Lin Yu’s appearance made the chat group quiet for a second.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Sir! You’re finally here! Please give us your verdict. Is it reasonable to have a soldier review documents? Is this fair?”
[The Adult]: “Whether it’s reasonable or not, whether it’s fair or not, doesn’t seem to matter right now. What matters is that someone wants to see you make a fool of yourself.”
Lin Yu hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out the core of the problem.
Thor fell silent. He might be impulsive, but he wasn’t foolish. Farbuti’s face, brimming with superiority and sarcasm, appeared before him, and the rage within him surged again.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “That’s right! That guy… I’m going to make him taste Mjolnir’s power sooner or later!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “The courage of a common man.”
Sasuke blurted out four words, which hit Thor’s sore spot accurately.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “You…!”
The man said, “Sasuke is right. If you strike with your hammer now, it will only confirm your reputation as ‘brave but foolish.’ It will not only tarnish your reputation, but also that of your father, Odin. He will think that the heir I carefully nurtured is only capable of solving problems with his fists.”
Lin Yu’s words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing Thor’s anger, but also making him feel unprecedentedly depressed and confused.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Then… then what should I do? Do I really have to memorize laws that are longer than a woman’s foot binding?”
The Lord: “Memorize? Why should I? A king doesn’t need to remember every detail. A king only needs to know how to apply the rules and control people’s hearts.”
Lin Yu’s lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile. In an instant, no less than ten plans popped up in his mind to deal with this kind of “literary fight” in the palace. Bullying an honest person? Sorry, you may have found the wrong person.
The Lord said, “Thor, don’t worry. Gather all the documents, laws, and proposals that Fabuti has asked you to deal with recently, or that have given you trouble, and send them to me. The more detailed, the better.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Send it to you? What do you want those boring things for?”
Despite his doubts, Thor still obeyed out of trust in Lin Yu’s identity as a “prophet.” Although he didn’t like to look at them, those things were piled up in his palace. He shouted a few times, asking the servants to quickly unfold the parchment scrolls one by one and transmit the runic text contents on them in the form of a message stream through the special function of the chat group.
A huge stream of information poured into Lin Yu’s mind. If it were an ordinary person, his brain would probably be blown away by the vast ancient text in an instant. But for Lin Yu, who possessed extraordinary wisdom, this was just data processing.
Chapter 15 Don’t You Know a Lot? (Old Version)
His mind raced, countless pieces of information being dissected, categorized, analyzed, and reassembled. Asgard’s laws, the trade agreements of the Nine Realms, the etiquette of the court, the recent fiscal spending proposals… everything was rapidly constructed into a complete, three-dimensional model in his mind.
Soon, he found the tiny and vicious traps set by the court minister named “Fabuti” in this complex model.
For example, in a proposal regarding trade with the Light Elves of Alfheim, Farbuti deliberately exaggerated the import tariff on a rare crystal. If Thor approved it without review, it would harm Asgard’s interests and offend the Light Elves, their long-time allies.
For example, in a proposal regarding agricultural aid for Vanaheim, he quietly inserted an inconspicuous additional clause requiring the Vanir to open a key shipping route in return. This seemed to be an attempt to gain benefits for Asgard, but in fact it would disrupt the long-standing tacit understanding and balance between the two major races, and it would easily lead to diplomatic disputes.
These are not big problems that require the use of force, but each one is like a louse hidden under gorgeous clothes. Once it breaks out, it will make Thor, the future king, appear both stupid and incompetent.
“Interesting.” Lin Yu murmured to himself. This method is insidious, but it can’t be used on the big stage. The best way to deal with it is not to dismantle it, but to defeat magic with magic.
The Lord: “Thor, you don’t have to do anything tomorrow. When that Fabuti uses these documents to harass you again, just say this…”
Lin Yu sent a message to the group slowly.
Thor looked at the words and was a little confused at first, but after reading them over and over again, a strange light gradually appeared in his blue eyes.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “…Is this…really okay?”
[The Adult]: “Remember, when you speak, your expression should be calm and your eyes should be indifferent, as if you were looking at an ant trying to shake the World Tree. You can… refer to how Sasuke usually looks.”
Sasuke, who was far away in another time and space, was sitting cross-legged in a clearing in the woods. When he saw these words, a vein on his forehead seemed to jump.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Okay! I’ll try! Imitate Sasuke’s expression, huh? I’m good at that! I see him like this all day long!”
Looking at Thor’s eager reply, Lin Yu smiled.
A wonderful show is about to be staged in the magnificent Asgard, and he is the director hiding behind the scenes.
Asgard, the Golden Palace.
Inside the magnificent hall, the polished floor reflected the radiant starry murals on the dome. Gods and nobles flanked each other, the atmosphere solemn and dignified. High on his throne sat Odin, the God King, his single eye gleaming with a light as profound as the universe as he gazed silently below.
The court minister, Fabuti, holding a heavy parchment scroll, stepped forward and bowed. He had an elegant face, a perfectly composed smile always lingering on his lips, but deep in his eyes, a hint of superiority and contempt was hard to conceal.
“Your Highness,” Farbuti’s voice was clear and resonant, loud enough for everyone present to hear. “This is regarding the recent amendments to the mineral trade proposed by the Dark Elves of Watalheim. This involves the pricing of thirteen rare metals and adjustments to the tripartite agreement with the Nidavellir Dwarves. This matter concerns our strategic weapons reserves for the next hundred years. It is a matter of great importance. Your Highness, please review it as soon as possible and make your decision.”
As he spoke, he presented the parchment scroll with a respectful attitude and sincere words, as if he was truly helping the country and assisting the future monarch.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Thor.
Most of them knew the nature of the Thunder God well. Brave, powerful, and upright, but when it came to handling the complexities of government, he might as well have been tasked with taking on a dragon. Many were already prepared to see Thor fly into a rage or become speechless with embarrassment.
However, Thor today is a little different.
He was still wearing the familiar silver armor, his bright red cape draped behind him, his figure standing tall and straight like a mountain. But his face no longer had the impatience and impatience of the past, replaced by a strange calmness.
He didn’t even pick up the parchment scroll, but simply glanced at Fabuti with his azure eyes. His eyes were deep and indifferent, as if he was looking at an object that had nothing to do with him.
“Lord Fabuti.”
Thor spoke, his voice steady and without a trace of emotion, which stunned everyone, including Farbuti.
“As a court minister, your loyalty to Asgard is evident to all.”
Fabuti was delighted, thinking that Thor was about to give in, and his smile widened: “It is my duty to share His Highness’s worries and to be loyal to the God King.”
“Very good.” Thor nodded slightly, then changed the subject, his voice rising a few notches, not in anger, but with a condescending look. “In that case, I believe you already have a complete opinion on how to deal with this amendment. Now, in front of my father and all of you, analyze and elaborate on your views point by point. From the rationality of mineral pricing, to the impact on the Dwarven Agreement, to the potential changes to the structure of the Nine Realms for the next five hundred years… Don’t miss a single detail.”
The smile on Fabuti’s face froze.
The entire hall fell into deathly silence in an instant.
Everyone was stunned by Thor’s words. This… was this the Thor who swung his hammer at the slightest disagreement? These words were logically clear and powerful, sending the ball flying back with an irrefutable gesture.
Aren’t you capable? Don’t you know a lot? Okay, then perform in public.
This is no longer a simple review of documents, it is a test of Fabuti himself!
A thin line of cold sweat broke out on Fabuti’s forehead. He had, of course, studied the amendment and prepared several arguments to guide and even mislead Thor. But he never expected Thor to let him expound on it in such detail in public. He only had a partial understanding of many of the details, which he had planned to use as a verbal trap. If he were to lay them out point by point and analyze them in front of the One-Eyed God King and the entire court, any omission would be shameful, not Thor, but himself!
“What?” Thor’s eyes remained icy, tinged with a subtle hint of sarcasm. “Lord Farbuti, are you submitting a proposal you haven’t even thoroughly researched to the future king? Are you testing my patience, or are you questioning Asgard’s decision-making efficiency?”
“No… I dare not!” Fabuti broke out in a cold sweat and bowed quickly, “I just…”
“Just what?” Thor pressed on. “As an important minister, you should share the king’s worries, not just throw problems to the monarch and reap the benefits yourself. Take this proposal back and write a detailed analysis report, listing at least three response plans and evaluating the pros and cons of each. I’ll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow.”
Chapter 16 He wants to test your wisdom? Very good. Promise him (Old version)
After saying this, he didn’t even bother to glance at Fabuti. He turned and bowed to Odin on the throne. “Father, I believe a king’s duty lies in steering the ship and making decisions, not dwelling on tedious paperwork. If I do everything myself, what’s the point of having a court full of civil and military officials?”
These words were powerful and righteous. Not only did they perfectly explain why he didn’t handle the paperwork himself, but they also instantly elevated the subject to the level of “kingly skill.”
On the throne, an unprecedented light flashed in Odin’s single eye. He looked deeply at his son, and a nearly unnoticeable smile appeared on his weathered face.
“allow.”
One word, concise and to the point, represents the approval of the God King.
Fabuti’s face turned pale. He stood there, holding the parchment scroll, unable to move forward or backward. He felt as if the gazes from all around him were stabbing him like knives. He had intended to embarrass Thor today, but in the end, he himself became a huge joke.
The chat group was in an uproar.
[Asgard’s No. 1 Filial Son]: “Hahahaha! You didn’t see Fabuti’s face. It was just as exciting as the shit he had just eaten from a Frost Giant! So cool! Lin Yu, you’re a genius! And Sasuke, I tried really hard to imitate your expression just now, and I think I got the gist of it!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “…Idiot.”
Despite saying this, Sasuke’s lips curled up in a rare, subtle arc. The feeling of crushing an opponent purely through aura and logic, without resorting to violence, was a novel experience for him. It seemed to destroy a person’s pride even more than simply beheading them.
[The Adult]: “This is just an appetizer. He won’t let it go.”
Just as Lin Yu expected, after a day of torment and racking his brains to write the report that was enough to make him lose a layer of skin, Fabuti’s resentment and unwillingness reached its peak.
The next day, he appeared in the Golden Palace again. This time, he did not mention the document matter again, but changed his approach.
“Your Highness, I will remember your teachings from yesterday.” Fabuti’s demeanor was even more humble than yesterday, but a sinister glint flashed across his eyes. “I believe that a king must possess not only extraordinary wisdom but also a perceptive eye. The once-a-century ‘Illusionary Forest’ trial is about to begin, and the Illusion Beasts deep in the forest are in their prime. These beasts are adept at creating illusions and deceiving people. In previous years, the best young warriors have gone hunting to prove their courage and wisdom.”
He paused, looked at Thor, and said meaningfully, “I dare to suggest that Your Highness personally preside over and participate in this year’s trial. Firstly, you can demonstrate your unparalleled bravery to the Nine Realms, and secondly… it will also prove that your wisdom is unmatched, capable of seeing through all illusions. What do you think, Your Highness?”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
The Trial of the Phantom Forest is nominally a hunt, but in reality it’s a test of character and wisdom. The Phantom Beasts themselves aren’t particularly powerful, but the illusions they create are incredibly realistic, evoking one’s deepest desires and fears. Those with a weak will or ingenuity can easily become lost in it, leading to a horrific display of defiance.
Fabuti’s move was extremely vicious.
He held Thor in high esteem, defining this trial as a stage for proving his “wisdom.” If Thor refused, it would be a confession of guilt and a fear of the test. If he accepted, Farbti would have countless ways to trip him up in the Illusion Forest, trap him in an illusion, and publicly embarrass him.
This is an open conspiracy, a trap that forces you to jump into.
Thor’s fists clenched instantly. He could sense the other party’s ill intentions, but he couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “This guy! He’s here again! I’ve heard of this Phantom Beast, he’s very cunning! What should I do? That sir?”
In the chat group, Lin Yu’s reply quickly appeared.
[The Adult]: “He wants to test your wisdom? Very good. Promise him.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Ah? Are you sure?”
[The Adult]: “We must not only win, but also make him lose with conviction, so much so that he doubts his life.”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Illusion?… Interesting.”
In Lin Yu’s mind, a bold and interesting plan gradually took shape.
The Fantasy Forest, located in an independent demiplane of Asgard, is shrouded in a colorful mist year-round. The trees here have a texture like glass, and sunlight filters through the branches, casting colorful spots of light on the ground, creating a dreamlike experience.
The horn signaling the start of the trial resounded through the sky.
Thor wore light hunting garb and wielded his Stormbreaker—Mjolnir was too ostentatious for such a test of wit. He took a deep breath, sensing the strange energy in the air, and then stepped into the forest.
Farbti and the other nobles, through the palace’s magical water mirror, clearly observed every movement within the forest. Farbti’s confident smile once again graced his face. He had already laid several “surprises” in the forest—magical nodes he had meticulously designed to enhance the abilities of the Phantom Beasts. He was certain that Thor would soon be trapped in the nightmare he had woven.
After entering the forest, Thor did not look around like other reckless hunters. Instead, he found a huge glass tree, sat down, closed his eyes, and seemed to be taking a nap.
This action surprised everyone in front of the water mirror.
“What is His Highness doing? Has he given up?”
“Perhaps he’s trying to sense the traces of the Phantom Beast? But this…”
Fabuti sneered. In his opinion, this was just a sign of Thor’s guilt and helplessness.
However, at this moment, Thor’s consciousness was completely immersed in the chat group.
The Lord: “Thor, remember, follow my instructions for the next move. Open your senses to the maximum, especially your hearing and touch.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Understood!”
[The Lord]: “Left front, 70 paces, wind speed 3, slight energy disturbance.”
Although Lin Yu was not in Asgard, he was connected to Thor’s sensory data stream through the chat group. For those who possessed the Sharingan and the ability to see everything, analyzing these data streams and judging abnormalities in the environment was instinctive.
Thor opened his eyes suddenly, and without hesitation, he moved like lightning in the direction Sasuke indicated. His movements were swift and precise, without a single unnecessary movement.
After running about seventy steps, he suddenly stopped.
[The adult]: “Three inches under your feet.”
Thor lowered his head and gently tapped the ground with the end of his axe. The solid earth made a “knock knock” sound, but in one place, the sound was slightly dull. His eyes focused, and the axe slammed down!
Chapter 17: That Adult! You Are Awesome! (Old Version)
The earth flew, and a hidden magical rune was instantly shattered, emitting a wail before dissipating into the air. This was the first trap set by Fabuti, an illusion node that could amplify fear.
In front of the water mirror, Fabuti’s smile froze.
How could it be possible? The node was so perfectly hidden that even Thor needed a special magical medium to perceive it. How did Thor discover it?
“Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.” Fabuti comforted himself in his heart.
But he soon found out that he was wrong.
[The Adult]: “At the right rear, in the crown, on the third fork, there’s a leaf that’s one ten-thousandth lighter than the others. It’s camouflage.”
Thor, without even turning back, swung his battle axe. With a whistling sound, it struck the leaf, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, with pinpoint accuracy. A sharp hissing rang out, and a palm-sized, chameleon-like creature fell from the tree, its body dissolving into a wisp of smoke.
The Lord: “Excellent work. This is a scouting sub-body of the Phantommon. Once you eliminate it, the main body will be blinded and deafened for a short time.”
For the next hour, the people of Asgard who watched the magic water mirror felt as if they were enjoying a top-notch art performance.
Thor moved through the forest, sometimes sprinting, sometimes pausing, each move clean and precise. He could always find the weak points in the traps and illusions set by the Phantom Beasts in the most unlikely places.
He would suddenly punch the empty air to shatter an illusion that was taking shape; he would throw stones at a seemingly ordinary stream, causing a circle of energy ripples and exposing the core of the illusion under the water; he could even close his eyes and use his hearing alone to distinguish the false voice imitated by the Phantom Beast among the noisy birdsong.
He was like a seasoned hunter, a wise man who had seen through all the fog. His tall figure in the bizarre forest seemed so calm and composed, filled with an indescribable sense of control.
How could this be the reckless Thunder God? This was clearly the “Shadow Hunter King”!
“Oh my God, how did Your Highness do that?”
“His perception of energy is surprisingly sharp!”
“This is no longer just bravery, this is… this is wisdom that is close to the Tao!”
The nobles exclaimed in amazement, and the way they looked at Thor had changed from watching a show to sincere awe.
Odin sat on the throne, the light in his single eye growing brighter and brighter. He even unconsciously leaned forward, gripping the handle of the Eternal Spear tightly. What he saw wasn’t just his son breaking an illusion, but an unprecedented fighting style—a perfect art that combined extreme observation, precise judgment, and lightning-fast action.
Fabuti’s face had turned from pale to ashen. He felt icy cold, as if he had fallen into an icy cave. All his meticulous preparations were like child’s play before Thor, easily dismantled one by one, even with a hint of playfulness.
He couldn’t understand why this was happening!
The atmosphere in the chat group was very heated.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Sir! You are amazing! Do you have some magical device in your eyes? You can see from such a distance!”
[The Adult]: “…Your perception is too dull. I could handle this in three minutes.”
[The Adult]: “Northeast, the canyon. All its energy flows are directed there. It’s anxious.”
[The Lord]: “Thor, the game is over. Go ahead and surprise everyone in the most spectacular way possible.”
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.
His consciousness is also connected to Thor’s senses, but it is not passively receiving, but actively analyzing.
The three-magatama Sharingan slowly rotated in his own eye sockets, taking in the complex data streams and trying to analyze the patterns in them.
However, every instruction from that adult was so precise that it exceeded the limits of his analysis.
That kind of insight has completely surpassed the scope of pupil techniques.
This isn’t even observation, but… foreknowledge, or rather, a direct reading of the underlying rules of the world.
As proud as he was, for the first time, he felt a huge gap in his insight, which he was most proud of, just like looking up at the starry sky.
Thor grinned, a smile full of confidence and exuberance. He no longer suppressed his strength, and Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, instantly appeared in his hand, and lightning crackled around him.
“receive!”
He kicked the ground hard, and his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the canyon in the northeast.
Deep in the canyon, a shimmering, elk-like creature paced restlessly. It was the true form of the Phantom Beast. It discovered that all its arrangements had been destroyed, and all its sent-out offspring had lost contact, leaving it feeling an unprecedented fear.
At this moment, a golden lightning fell from the sky and hit it heavily in front of it.
Thor’s figure appeared in the lightning.
“Found you, little one.”
The Phantom Beast screamed, realizing there was no escape. It mobilized all its energy to the limit, preparing to unleash its most powerful illusion—the “Inner Demon Illusion.” This was its ultimate life-saving technique, capable of directly drawing the enemy into a vision of their greatest fears, condemning them to eternal damnation.
Colorful light burst out instantly, covering the entire canyon.
Everyone in front of the magic water mirror exclaimed in surprise. They knew that the most critical moment had arrived. A glimmer of hope rekindled in Fabuti’s eyes. No one could break the inner demon’s illusion!
However, facing the illusory light that was enough to devour all minds, Thor just snorted disdainfully.
He did not defend or dodge, but instead took a step forward and raised Mjolnir high.
“Playing tricks in front of me? How naive!”
His voice was like rolling thunder.
“What you are proud of are nothing but false illusions. But what I control is the most real and authentic power in this world!”
“Use thunder to shatter the darkness!”
He slammed the hammer in his hand hard to the ground!
“boom–!!!!!”
In an instant, not just a single flash of lightning, but thousands of violent thunderbolts, centered around Thor, swept wildly in all directions! The entire Fantasy Forest trembled in this endless flash of lightning!
Thunder and lightning are one of the purest energies in the universe, full of the power of destruction and purification.
The moment those colorful illusions came into contact with the lightning, they were instantly evaporated and purified like spring snow, leaving not even a trace. The so-called “inner demon illusion” didn’t even have time to take shape before this unreasonable and absolute power completely wiped it out from the perspective of rules!
One force can defeat ten skills!
When all illusions fail to work, the so-called test of wisdom becomes a joke.
The lightning faded, leaving the canyon in ruins. The Phantom Beast trembled and collapsed on the ground, its once shimmering fur charred black, its eyes filled with fear of the Thunder God.
Thor walked up to it, tapped its head lightly with his hammer, and grinned.
“Are you convinced?”
Chapter 18 Divine Chakra (Old Version)
This scene was clearly presented to everyone in Asgard through the magic water mirror.
Absolute power, absolute confidence, and…hidden beneath this power is the “wisdom” that sees through everything.
No one doubted anything anymore. They had witnessed firsthand how His Majesty the Thunder God had perfectly and overwhelmingly passed this trial. He had not only broken the illusion, but, in his own way, demonstrated what it truly meant to “break through delusion”!
Fabuti’s legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
He lost miserably and completely.
On the throne, Odin slowly stood up, and his old and majestic voice resounded throughout the golden palace.
“Good! Very good! You are worthy of being my son!”
In Lin Yu’s mind, a prompt sound of mission completion rang out.
[Mission: God King’s required course, completed!]【Task Evaluation: Perfect!】
[Reward: The entry [Divinity] has been unlocked.]An indescribable warmth instantly flowed through Lin Yu’s body and soul, merging into the depths of his soul. His consciousness seemed to have been elevated to countless dimensions, and he could faintly sense the deeper laws of nature flowing between heaven and earth. His mental power, his perception, and his connection with the world had all undergone a mysterious transformation.
This is… divinity!
In the chat group, Thor’s cheers were almost overwhelming.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “I won! I won! Hahahaha!! Did you see that? My father…he just praised me! He stood up and praised me!”
The words are filled with childlike joy and excitement.
[The adult]: “Well done.”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Hmph, that last one was pretty good.”
Looking at this harmonious and somewhat funny scene in the group, Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Helping Thor this time not only brought him huge gains, but also allowed him to see another possibility of this chat group.
The knowledge, abilities, and experiences from different worlds can be combined so wonderfully that the sum of the parts is far greater than the sum of the parts.
Lin Yu felt that his physical strength was still lacking. With his extraordinary understanding, he began to combine divinity and chakra into the Chakra of God, and used this power to temper his body. With the blessing of this power, his physical strength increased rapidly. Whether it was physical defense, lifespan, or injury recovery ability, it was greatly improved. Lin Yu felt that it would not be long before he could be like Thor, with a lifespan of thousands of years and a strong body.
Lin Yu slowly sat up from the sofa, closed his eyes, and carefully comprehended the mysterious power called [divinity].
This power is not simply energy, but a leap in status, a higher authority over the rules of the world.
Because of this, he felt more clearly than ever before how fragile and vulnerable his mortal body was.
Compared with the Asgardian gods who have a lifespan of thousands of years and strong bodies that can withstand the stars, his body is like an ant that may be crushed at any time.
Such a container is simply unable to bear his growing power and extraordinary “wisdom”.
A bold and clear idea, driven by his extraordinary understanding, suddenly took shape in the depths of his consciousness.
Since [divinity] is quality, chakra is quantity.
With [divinity] as bones and chakra as flesh and blood, melt the two into one furnace and forge a new power that is unique to you!
With a thought, the azure chakra flowed out of his body like a gentle stream and lingered around him.
Then, he began to guide the golden [divinity] deep in his soul, carefully injecting it into this blue ocean of energy like strands of golden threads.
As soon as the two completely different forces came into contact, a violent repulsion occurred.
The chakra was surging and roaring, and the divinity was high above, exuding an inviolable majesty.
However, in the face of Lin Yu’s terrifying control and understanding, this rejection was only a brief prelude.
His consciousness turned into the most sophisticated instrument, analyzing the essence of the two forces in an unimaginable way, looking for the perfect balance point.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent energy finally began to subside.
The azure chakra was completely dyed with sacred gold. It was no longer pure energy, but contained a hint of “rules”.
This new energy, as thick and viscous as molten gold, quietly floated in Lin Yu’s palm, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
Divine Chakra, done!
Without any hesitation, Lin Yu guided this new power and began to circulate it through his limbs and bones along a mysterious route.
Wherever the divine chakra passed, his flesh, bones, and even every cell were undergoing a radical reshaping.
It was a kind of severe pain of being broken and then rebuilt, as if the body was crushed into countless particles and then reassembled by a supreme will.
But along with the severe pain is the supreme pleasure brought by the leap in life level.
He could clearly feel that his bone density was increasing at an astonishing rate, gleaming with a faint jade luster.
The muscle fibers become extremely tough, and each contraction contains explosive power far beyond the past.
Even the vitality in his body became majestic and long-lasting under the nourishment of this power, and the concept of aging seemed to be being erased from his life.
He had a vague premonition that it would not be long before he would have Thor’s nearly eternal lifespan and that indestructible and powerful body.
Slowly standing up, Lin Yu walked to the center of the room and took up the stance of the Flowing Rock Crushing Fist.
This time, he no longer mobilized ordinary chakra, but the golden divine chakra.
When divine energy is infused into this top-level martial arts technique, a wonderful chemical reaction occurs.
His boxing style is still as smooth and natural as ever.
But beneath the gentle flow of water, there lies a “majesty of God” that cannot be questioned or disobeyed.
The punch was thrown, but it did not bring up any whistling wind.
However, the air in front of him seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, twisting and compressing it out of thin air, and finally let out a crisp whine, shattering into pieces!
This is no longer a simple physical attack, but a crushing attack at the “rules” level.
God’s Flowing Water and Rock-Crushing Fist.
The power of this set of boxing techniques has increased by more than dozens of times in his hands.
Slowly retracting his fists, Lin Yu felt the endless and powerful force in his body, and an unprecedented sense of control arose spontaneously.
His gaze inadvertently fell on his own reflection in the mirror. In those deep eyes, three scarlet magatama were slowly rotating.
A bolder and more natural idea, driven by his extraordinary understanding, quietly emerged in his mind.
Since divine chakra can reshape the body and elevate martial arts, can it also cause the Sharingan, which can see through everything in the world, to undergo an essential transformation?
What kind of astonishing eye technique will be born by using the divine power containing “rules” to nourish these eyes that are already famous for their insight and replication?
Chapter 19: New Member “Angel Yan” (Old Version)
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he subconsciously tried to guide the divine chakra to flow into his eyes, but found that his dantian was empty.
The physical transformation just now almost exhausted all the divine chakra he had condensed for the first time.
However, Lin Yu didn’t care about it, but instead raised a faint arc at the corner of his mouth.
With his extraordinary understanding and control over power, it is only a matter of time before he accumulates enough divine chakra to evolve the Sharingan.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window lattice, casting a long, narrow bright spot on the tatami.
Lin Yu sat cross-legged, eyes closed, his expression calm. He could clearly “see” that with every breath, the energy flowing freely between heaven and earth was drawn into his limbs and bones like rivers flowing into the sea. This energy underwent a series of complex and mysterious transformations, finally settling in his dantian, condensing into wisps of fine yet pure golden air.
God’s Chakra.
The energy expended in rebuilding his body was being restored at a rate far exceeding expectations. This was due not only to the exponential increase in his body’s affinity for energy and conversion efficiency after the transformation, but also to his terrifying understanding. Each energy cycle was a reconstructing and understanding of the essence of power, and each cycle was more harmonious and efficient than the last.
He didn’t deliberately pursue speed; everything seemed to flow naturally. For him, accumulating strength was no longer a tedious repetition, but a kind of enjoyment akin to Taoism.
Just as he was immersed in this mysterious state, a very modern and technological prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! New member “Angel Yan” has joined the chat group.]Lin Yu’s consciousness was withdrawn from cultivation, and as soon as he thought about it, a virtual chat interface unfolded before his eyes.
Thor, the active member of the group, replied almost immediately.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: Oh! Welcome newcomer! Are you a beautiful lady or a fierce warrior? Tell us your name and let Thor, Asgard’s God of Thunder, the future king of the gods and son of Odin, offer his blessing!
He gave me a series of titles, fearing that others wouldn’t know his identity, and even added a custom emoticon showing off his muscles.
The newlyweds’ profile picture is a silhouette of their side face, with long golden hair like a waterfall, outlining a holy and proud outline.
It took a long time before the new member sent the first message, and there was a sense of scrutiny and alienation between the lines.
Angel Yan: A chat group? A kind of… sub-biological space based on dark energy communication? The technology is ancient, but the concept is good. Which civilization are you survivors of?
One sentence made the atmosphere in the group a little subtle.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Survivors? Ma’am, that’s not very polite. I am a god, the guardian of the universe! I, Thor, wield thunder and protect the nine realms!
Angel Yan: God? Oh, I see. You belong to a pre-nuclear civilization, still in the pre-Shenhe Era, that bestows the title of “God” upon powerful individuals who have mastered some forms of energy. In our Celestial City, this is known as the initial stages of the “God-Creation Project.” I myself am a high-ranking Guardian Angel, the Left Wing Guardian of Holy Queen Kesha. In our civilization’s system, I am also considered a “God.”
Her tone was calm, as if she was stating an objective fact, but her condescending attitude was more unpleasant than any direct sarcasm.
It’s like a modern physicist listening to a group of primitive people discussing the wrath of the “God of Fire”.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: What nonsense are you talking about? What project? What system? I’m a god, born that way! My father is Odin, my mother is Frigga! What does that project have to do with me?
Thor was obviously confused by this theory and felt that his divinity was challenged like never before.
Uchiha Sasuke, who had been lurking for a long time, finally emerged. His profile picture showed a triple-magatama Sharingan, and his speech was as brief and cold as ever.
Uchiha Sasuke: Angel? Humph, just a person with wings. Can your “god” withstand a single blow from Susanoo?
Angel Yan: Susanoo? Is it a large energy body formed through the release of genetic abilities or mental power? There are similar models in the database. As for whether it can withstand it, it depends on its peak energy output and structural stability. However, judging by your comments, it is highly unlikely to withstand a conventional attack from Sky Blade VII.
Her words were as calm as an academic report, casually classifying Sasuke’s proud eye technique as “an energy body with a similar model.”
This dimensionality-reduction style of communication made Sasuke’s brows twitch. What he hated most was this kind of self-righteous guy who digitized everything.
Uchiha Sasuke: …
He chose not to speak any more, feeling that saying one more word would be a waste.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Skyblade VII? Is that your hammer? My Meowth Hammer is awesome!
Thor was still trying to bring the topic back to areas he was familiar with.
Angel Yan: It’s my celestial combat object. You can think of it as… a flying city, but also a sword hanging over the enemy’s head.
The chat group fell into a brief silence.
A…flying city?
Thor imagined Asgard. It was also a glorious “realm of the gods,” but using it as a weapon to hit people… didn’t seem impossible? But he had a hunch that this wasn’t what the other party meant.
Sasuke’s pupils shrank slightly. He thought of the moon and the Chibaku Tensei, but a weapon the size of a city was still beyond his imagination. This was no longer a battle at the level of a ninja.
Lin Yu looked at the screen with interest.
Angel Yan… this name brought back some vague images from the depths of his dusty memories. Blonde hair, wings, a queen, justice and order… and a guy named Ge Xiaolun.
It turned out to be her. A proud angel who had lived for over seven thousand years, yet was still as innocent as a little girl at heart.
Her pride stems not from malice but from the height of her civilization and her belief in a “just order.” In her worldview, the universe is divided into different levels of civilization, where everything can be analyzed by data and defined by order. Sentiment and emotion, these are the hallmarks of lower civilizations and the root of “chaos.”
interesting.
Lin Yu’s mouth curled up into a faint smile. He did not rush to speak, but continued to watch Thor and the angel lady’s “cross-server chat”.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Amazing! I’d love to see it! But, ma’am, are all you angels as… uh, theoretical as you are? We Asgardians prefer to solve problems with fists and hammers, then guzzle wine and eat meat! That’s life!
Angel Yan: We study theory to establish and maintain the “just order” of the universe. As for the life you mentioned…with all due respect, that’s just a primitive act of satisfying one’s appetite, meaningless. We angels have long since transcended such lowly physiological needs.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Meaningless?! This is one of life’s greatest joys! How boring must your life be!
Chapter 20 Is there a kind of data called “love” (old version)
Thor felt that he had absolutely no way of communicating with this woman.
Angel Yan: Bored? My life spans seven thousand years, and it will last tens of thousands more, perhaps even longer. I’ve followed Queen Kesha across the galaxy, judged countless evils, and witnessed the birth and destruction of stars. My life is filled with meaning. And what you call “fun” is, in our view, nothing more than a means for ephemeral beings to numb themselves and escape the fear of death.
Once these words were spoken, they were extremely destructive.
Thor fell silent. Though he was a god, the Asgardians would also age and die. The prophecy of Ragnarok hung like the Sword of Damocles over the heads of all Asgardians.
Sasuke’s eyes grew even darker. The brevity of life, the fear of escaping death… These words, like a needle, pierced his already shattered heart with precision. Revenge, becoming stronger, wasn’t everything he did also a struggle against “loss” and “death”?
This new angel, with just a few words, silenced two self-righteous people in the group.
Lin Yu knew it was his turn to appear.
He did not speak at length, nor did he display any title; he simply typed out a line of words slowly.
[That Lord]: Follow the Queen, judge evil, maintain order… It sounds like you are more like a sword, a sword held in someone else’s hand, called “justice.”
[The Lord]: A sword doesn’t need its own life. Right?
The news about Lin Yu was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. It did not stir up any huge waves, but it created ripples that could not be ignored.
Thor and Sasuke were stunned.
The focus of their argument with Angel Yan was on the definition of “God”, the strength of power, and the advantages and disadvantages of lifestyles. These were all external and superficial things.
However, Lin Yu hit the nail on the head and directly stabbed the “essence” of Angel Yan’s existence.
You are not an independent individual, you are just a tool.
These words are more hurtful than any contempt or ridicule.
In a distant unknown star field, inside a beautifully shaped, silver-white cross-shaped celestial battleship.
On the throne, Angel Yan slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She was covered in dark purple close-fitting armor, outlining her perfect figure. Her bright golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a hint of laziness in her sacredness.
She stared at the two sentences sent by Lin Yu on the virtual screen. For the first time, an emotion other than scrutiny appeared in her azure eyes – confusion.
A sword?
This metaphor is very novel and also… very harsh.
As the most loyal left-wing guard of the Holy Queen Kesha, she regards the Queen’s will as her guiding principle and justice and order as her eternal mission. For this mission, she can burn herself without hesitation. Isn’t this an honor? How could this person named “Lin Yu” become a sword without a life of its own?
Angel Yan: I don’t understand what you mean. My life is filled with honor and purpose, and I’m proud to be Queen Kesha’s sword. And you, hiding in the shadows, using such pretentious rhetoric to attract attention, what’s the point?
Her counterattack was quick, but her tone already unconsciously carried a hint of defense.
[The Lord]: Seeking attention? No, I’m just curious.
Lin Yu was neither anxious nor impatient, his fingertips tapping lightly on the virtual keyboard, as if he was not engaging in a clash of ideas, but playing a leisurely game of chess.
The Lord: You’ve lived for seven thousand years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless civilizations. So, in your eyes, what is life? Is it the genetic sequences and life information in your angel databases, which can be analyzed and calculated?
Angel Yan frowned even more tightly.
Angel Yan: Life is a complex organism that evolved from cosmic matter under specific circumstances. From the macroscopic to the microscopic, it can be interpreted by data. What’s the problem with this?
This was the theoretical cornerstone of angelic civilization, their way of understanding the universe. To her, it was as irrefutable a truth as one plus one equals two.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: No! Life is a celebration after a battle, a joke between friends, and the determination to protect our homeland! How can these things be interpreted using that “data” you mentioned?
Thor finally found a point of rebuttal and spoke excitedly.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: Bonds, hatred, willpower…these things cannot be measured by data.
Sasuke added coldly.
Angel Yan: Emotions, willpower… these are simply bioelectrical responses generated by genes and environment. Our database contains thousands of emotion models: anger, joy, sadness… each with a corresponding data fluctuation range. They may seem complex, but at their core, they are still chaotic, primitive stress mechanisms generated by lower civilizations with insufficient information processing capabilities. We angels have long surpassed this stage. We trust data, calculations, and absolutely rational judgment.
Her words were filled with the rationality and…arrogance of a higher civilization.
The Adult: Really? An absolutely rational judgment?
[That adult]: In your huge database, is there a type of data called “love”?
As soon as the word “love” appeared, the atmosphere in the chat group suddenly became even weirder.
Thor thought of Jane Foster and was lost in thought for a moment. Sasuke thought of his parents, his brother, and Team 7, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
Angel Yan, on the other hand, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his reaction was extremely violent.
Angel Yan: Love? Of course I know. We’ve even studied the myths and definitions of “love” across thousands of civilizations. It typically refers to a strong, positive emotional connection, often found between spouses and loved ones. But statistical analysis reveals it’s simply a genetically determined, highly unstable hormonal disorder driven by the need for reproduction. It can lead to jealousy, paranoia, and blindness, and is a major source of chaos and war. Therefore, we high-level angels have long since abandoned this outdated emotion.
She gave a long and eloquent explanation, trying to use science and data to completely deconstruct the word “love”, stripping away all its sacredness and beauty, and reducing it to a primitive physiological impulse.
However, the more she explained, the more obvious it became.
Lin Yu seemed to be able to see through the screen, the 7,000-year-old proud angel, who was trying hard to maintain the dignity of his “higher life”.
[That adult]: Well said, the theory is perfect.
He first gave affirmation, then changed the subject and dropped a real bombshell.
[That Lord]: So, why would a high-level angel who had long since abandoned “backward emotions” be matched with an ordinary man from a “pre-nuclear civilization” on the other side of the Milky Way?
Chapter 21 Why Does He Know? (Old Version)
In Angel Yan’s mind, this sentence was no less than a celestial explosion.
System matching…
This is one of the Angels’ top secrets! To ensure the inheritance of excellent angel genes, every high-level angel will use celestial computers to conduct gene matching throughout the universe to find the most suitable “partner”.
This is a “program” engraved deep in their genes and systems, and it is their “destiny” that they cannot avoid.
And she, Angel Yan, had never had a match in seven thousand years. Until recently, the system had given her a name for the first time—Ge Xiaolun. A person from Earth, defined by them as having “super genes,” but still essentially a child.
She had only complained about this matter privately to her best friend Angel Leng, and had never formally reported it to the Queen.
This person…how did he know? !
Angel Yan: You…! Who are you?! You hacked into Amagi’s core database?!
For the first time, genuine panic appeared in her tone, and the calmness and composure that everything was under control was gone. The shell of calm and rationality was shattered by these words.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: Matching? What kind of matching? Like breeding horses? Are you angels so careless in finding a partner?
Thor’s focus is always so clear.
Sasuke didn’t say anything, but he was keenly aware that Tianshi Yan was losing control of his emotions. This guy named Lin Yu always seemed to be able to easily poke people’s weak spots.
Lin Yu did not answer her question, but continued to state a “fact” in a tone that was so calm that it was almost cruel.
[The adult]: I saw some interesting pictures.
[That Lord]: I saw a proud high-ranking guardian angel, who was willing to go against the enemies of the entire galaxy in order to protect the man she considered “backward”.
[That adult]: I saw that she put away her pride and, like an ordinary little girl, clumsily tried to understand him and get close to him.
[That Lord]: I saw that, for him, she ultimately defied the entire old order, even at the cost of… burning herself to death in the cold universe. And what powered her to do all this wasn’t the “data” and “calculations” you’re so proud of, but rather that most primal element you call “extremely unstable hormonal disorder.”
Every word Lin Yu said was like a slowly unfolding scroll, presenting bloody scenes of the future that should not have existed before Angel Yan.
[The Lord]: Now, tell me again. Have you truly renounced love? Or, is a “god” who cannot even deceive himself, a “god” controlled by the “program” in his own genes, truly superior to a mortal who can freely love and hate?
The chat group was dead silent.
Thor’s mouth dropped open, not knowing what to say. This was too much information, and he felt his brain wasn’t enough.
Sasuke’s Sharingan slowly swirled in its socket, a wave of turmoil rising within him. A prophecy? Or some unknown eye technique? This man was even more mysterious and terrifying than he had imagined.
And in that silver-white battleship.
Angel Yan suddenly stood up from the throne. The huge movement caused the cup next to him containing some blue energy liquid to fall over, making a crisp sound in the empty hall.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her blue eyes were filled with shock, anger, confusion, and a hint of fear that she herself had not even noticed.
The scene described by this man was too real and too specific for her to simply attribute it to nonsense.
Burn yourself for that guy named Ge Xiaolun?
How is that possible!
She is the queen of Holy Kesha and the most proud guardian angel. How could she do such a…stupid thing for a “male” of an inferior civilization?
But deep down in my heart, there was a voice screaming madly.
Why would he know?
How does he know?!
The name “that sir” was like an indelible mark, deeply engraved in her heart. This person, with the most ordinary words, had torn a deep, bone-deep chasm through her pride, her beliefs, her worldview.
silence.
The silence in the chat group seems to be able to penetrate time and space and reach the hearts of every member.
Thor, the burly man, was unusually refraining from joking. He glanced at Lin Yu’s name, then at the angel Yan’s profile picture, which hadn’t lit up any more, and scratched his long golden hair, feeling that the situation was beyond his comprehension. Predicting the future? In Asgard, that was usually the province of the three goddesses of fate or his mother, Frigga, but Lin Yu’s description was far too specific, so specific that it gave him a chill.
Sasuke fell into deeper contemplation. His life had been bound by the past—the night of the Uchiha clan’s genocide, Itachi’s betrayal. Yet, this man seemed to have foresight into the future. Which was more terrifying, the past or the future? If someone could tell him the truth in advance, would his life’s trajectory be different? As soon as this thought arose, it spread like wildfire, filling him with an unprecedented fear and curiosity about this man.
After a long time, Thor broke the silence.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: @Sir, how…how do you know all this? Do you know that angel lady? Or do you really know how to predict the future?
[The Adult]: I just saw some possibilities. Whether she believes it or not is up to her.
Lin Yu’s answer was still so calm and full of mystery. He couldn’t say that these were all “scripts” he had seen in his previous life, right? Sometimes, not saying anything is more powerful than saying it.
Uchiha Sasuke: Possibility… Hum, fate? I never believe in such things.
Sasuke snorted coldly, his words dripping with disdain, but anyone could tell he wasn’t sincere. For someone who could even “see” the future, his words carried far too much weight.
[That Lord]: Fate isn’t a fixed line; it’s more like a web. Every choice leads to a different outcome. What I see is only the most dazzling, yet most tragic, one.
He didn’t delve further into the topic and turned to Sasuke.
[That Lord]: @Uchiha Sasuke, instead of dwelling on the past that cannot be changed, think about how to weave your own future. Your eyes shouldn’t just be used to look back at hatred.
Sasuke’s heart trembled, and he clenched his fists. It was that feeling again, this man seemed to see through everything. He didn’t reply, and simply chose to log off. He needed to be alone.
Lin Yu saw this and didn’t care. The seeds of thought had been planted, and when they sprouted, it would take time and opportunity.
He closed the chat group and returned to reality.
Chapter 22: What happened to Yan? Is he moved? (Old version)
Anime chat group: Tornado is broken! : Chapter 22 What happened to Yan? Spring heart moved? Picture and text
A seemingly simple online chat, a “dimensionality reduction attack” on Tian Shi Yan, was not a meaningless verbal dispute for him.
In the process of debating “life”, “emotion” and “order” with Angel Yan, he was also reflecting on himself.
Why does he pursue power? To escape the fate of being a chess piece, to possess absolute autonomy. But what is the end point of power? To become another “god” who is high above and sees all beings as mere data?
No.
That’s not what he wants.
The “absolute rationality” embodied by Angel Yan may seem advanced, but it’s actually a form of arrogant prejudice. They attempt to define everything with data, but they overlook the core driving forces of life—those unquantifiable emotions, will, and bonds.
And he himself, with his extraordinary comprehension, analysis and control of power, has already embarked on the path of “dataization” and “rationalization.” If he indulges in this, will he one day become the person he disdains?
This confrontation is like a mirror, reflecting others while also reflecting the possible forks in the road ahead for oneself.
“The so-called enlightenment is not only about understanding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, but also about understanding one’s true heart and adhering to one’s true self…”
Lin Yu muttered to himself, and at this moment, his mood suddenly became clear.
The spiritual world, which was originally a little quiet due to the emptiness of Dantian, seemed to be injected with a stream of clear spring at this moment, becoming more transparent and clear than ever before.
With a thought, he entered the state of cultivation again.
This time, it felt completely different.
If his previous practice was that he was actively and consciously “pulling” and “transforming” the energy of heaven and earth, then now, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to have life, actively and joyfully flowing towards him.
His body became an invisible vortex, his mind the core of which was the vortex. The clearer his mind was, the stronger the vortex’s suction force became.
Within Dantian, at the bottom of the dried-up “lake,” strands of golden divine chakra began to gather again at a speed visible to the naked eye. The speed at which they gathered was several times faster than before!
He had previously estimated that it would take several days to recover, but at this rate, perhaps in less than a day, he would be able to accumulate enough strength to drive the evolution of the Sharingan.
“So that’s how it is. The growth of power is not just about the accumulation of quantity, but also the sublimation of realm.”
Lin Yu understood clearly. Today’s discussion was better than ten days of hard training.
At the same time, in another distant universe.
The sacred city of heaven, the Merlo Heaven.
This is the highest temple of angelic civilization, holy, solemn, and full of the beauty of order.
But at this moment, in the palace belonging to the Holy Left Wing Guard Yan, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost frozen.
Angel Yan stood quietly in front of the huge French window, overlooking the mist-shrouded holy city below. Her face was no longer filled with the confidence and pride of the past, replaced by an unprecedented confusion and struggle.
Who is that man called “that sir”?
The words he said, the images he saw, replayed in her mind over and over again.
Fight for Ge Xiaolun, die for him…
This is ridiculous!
She opened her personal terminal and retrieved all of Ge Xiaolun’s information.
Name: Ge Xiaolun.
Civilization: Earth.
Genetic model: Galaxy Force (undeveloped).
Assessment: Huge potential, but currently his mind and abilities are in a primitive state, and his personality is… a loser.
She looked at the slightly silly photo of the young man in the information and could not connect herself with him at all.
She tried to use the computing power of Sky Blade No. 7 to analyze the remarks of “Lin Yu”, trying to find the logical loopholes in it and prove that it was nothing but alarmist lies.
However, the result of the analysis was a blank.
It cannot be analyzed, predicted, or falsified.
The unknown is the greatest fear.
“Yan, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been feeling uneasy since just now.”
A voice came from behind, with a hint of teasing and worry. A pretty female angel with snow-white wings walked in. She was Yan’s best friend, Angel Leng.
“Nothing.” Yan calmed down and responded calmly.
“You’re still saying it’s nothing?” Tian Shi Leng walked over to her, followed her gaze, and said with a smile, “Oh, you’re still looking at the profile of your ‘little man’? What’s wrong? Are you feeling aroused?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Yan immediately retorted, but his tone was a little lacking in confidence, “I’m just evaluating an…important super gene sample.”
“Yes, yes, a sample,” the angel teased coldly, “a ‘sample’ you’ve seen over seven hundred times. Yan, you’re the most arrogant among us. No man has caught your eye in seven thousand years. How come you’re so flustered just because the system randomly matched you with a little brat from Earth?”
Yan was silent.
Are you confused?
Maybe.
But what really made her confused was not the man named Ge Xiaolun, but the mysterious man named Lin Yu who broke into her world today.
He was like a ghost, casting a huge rock into her world across endless time and space, completely disrupting the calm lake that she was so proud of.
“Leng,” Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at his best friend seriously, “You say… is it possible that our fate has already been determined?”
The angel was stunned, then laughed and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? We are high-level angels, free beings. We follow Queen Kesha to establish a just order. We are the creators of our own destiny. How can we be destined?”
“But what if…” Yan’s eyes were a little vague, “What if there is a power that can see the so-called ‘destiny’?”
“Then we will break it!” Angel Leng said without hesitation, “We are angels, warriors! There is no fate that our heavenly blade cannot break! Whoever dares to determine our fate, we will cut off his hand!”
Cut off his hand…
Yan listened in a daze, and the mess in his heart seemed to be split open by these powerful words.
Yes, she is a warrior and a sacred guard.
Regardless of whether what that adult said was true or false, regardless of what would happen in the future…
She, Angel Yan, will never sit still and wait for death, letting the so-called “fate” control her.
She raised her head and looked into the deep universe. The confusion in her blue eyes gradually faded away, and was replaced by an unprecedented firmness and sharpness.
“You’re right, it’s cold.”
“We are our own gods.”
An invisible fighting spirit rose from her. No matter who that master was, no matter what his “prophecy” was, she would personally verify it, personally… break it!
This spiritual storm caused by Lin Yu not only failed to defeat this proud angel, but instead planted a seed called “resistance” in her heart.
Lin Yu, the instigator, knew nothing about this. He was immersed in the pleasure of rapidly recovering his strength. The golden chakra in his dantian had gathered into a shallow pool of water, which was shining brightly under the reflection of his mental power.
“Beep, beep…” A series of phone rings rang…
Chapter 23: Your relationship is indeed unusual! (Old version)
The evening light, like molten gold, lazily splashed across the deserted training ground. Sasuke stood alone before three weathered wooden stakes, his shadow stretched out like a solitary ink streak.
The wind carried the cool moisture of Nan Hechuan, ruffling the hems of his dark blue clothes and the unruly black hair on his forehead. He slowly raised his left hand, his right hand precisely grasping his wrist. After a series of swift and complex hand seals, a terrifying amount of chakra began to gather in his palm.
“Chidori—!”
A piercing whistle suddenly erupted, like the chirping of a thousand birds. Blue-white lightning gathered and danced in his palm, yet like an untamed beast, it could never be shaped into the indestructible blade of lightning. The light flickered, the electricity crackled, and finally, with a puff, it dissipated into a few faint arcs of electricity, dissipating into the air.
Failed.
Sasuke’s shoulders slumped imperceptibly for a moment, then straightened again. He took a deep breath, the air thick with the scent of dust and ozone. His dark eyes reflected the sinking sun, yet they were even calmer than the night itself, without a single ripple.
Only the slightly tightened jawline and the paleness of his knuckles from forming seals again revealed his inner anxiety.
The second time, the third time…
Each time, the result was the same. That powerful force was within him; he could clearly feel its flow, yet he could never perfectly control it. The concentration of chakra always failed at the last moment, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
Why?
The image of that man flashed through his mind, the nightmare he’d been chasing his entire life. The disparity in power was like an insurmountable chasm. He thought again of that always-noisy blond idiot. That guy must be somewhere he didn’t know about, growing stronger at an alarming rate.
A sharp emotion, a mixture of unwillingness and humiliation, tightly wrapped around his heart like a vine.
“hateful!”
………
The moment the phone was hung up, the last busy tone in the receiver was like a little bug, buzzing in the silent room.
Lin Yu threw his phone casually on the sofa with a muffled “puff” sound. He did not show any anxiety or anger. There was even a strange look on his handsome face, as if he was helpless after watching a bad play.
“House of Evolution…Dr. Kinos.”
He muttered to himself, his voice low, but clearly echoing in the empty living room. This name, along with the slightly nervous tone of the man on the phone just now, instantly outlined the whole picture of the matter.
Wow, I really caught a sheep and sheared its wool.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but complain inwardly. The butterfly effect caused by this time traveler seemed to have completely turned the original plot of One Punch Man upside down. Saitama was probably still worried about the supermarket sale day, and the House of Evolution, which he should have been responsible for, had already set its sights on him.
Moreover, they used such a clichéd “kidnapping the heroine” plot.
“Your woman…” Lin Yu recalled the words used by the man on the phone, and thought of Chuixue’s shy and anxious rebuttal, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up. That arrogant woman who always tried to use her aura to cover up her inner anxiety must be very interesting when she blushed.
However, fun is fun, trouble is trouble after all.
Dr. Kinos’s target was clearly himself. This mad scientist’s obsession with evolution was deep within him, and the extraordinary power he displayed made him perhaps the perfect “evolutionary specimen.” By capturing Fubuki, he was merely forcing himself into his meticulously designed laboratory, becoming a guinea pig on his operating table.
“Trap?” Fubuki shouted hoarsely into the phone.
Lin Yu knew it was a trap. A wise man wouldn’t fight unprepared. Since Kinos had dared to contact him, he must have believed he was fully prepared. Those clones, those modified monsters, and even… the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, known as the House of Evolution’s greatest masterpiece, were probably already on full alert.
Any hero, even an S-level one, would probably be overwhelmed by this kind of unknown and specifically targeted ambush and would immediately ask for help from the Hero Association, gather people, and formulate a detailed battle plan.
But Lin Yu is no ordinary hero.
He walked to the window, gazing out at the tranquil nightscape of City Z after its bustling glory had faded. Asking for help? That would be too slow. The bureaucratic process would be wasted by then. Furthermore, involving others would only increase unnecessary complications and casualties.
Dr. Kinos, a brilliant scientist, possesses top-tier theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience. His only reliance is on technology and creation.
His base… according to the original novel’s memory, it should be in a remote mountain area, disguised as an abandoned research institute. The address given on the phone is most likely there.
His forces range from low-level clones to dragon-level cadres such as Beast King, Armored Gorilla, and Mosquito Girl, and then to the ultimate weapon, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.
Analyzing this information, Lin Yu’s eyes were calm.
What he needs is not support, not a plan, but just a coordinate.
Now, he has it.
“What an unqualified villain,” Lin Yu sighed softly, “How could the protagonist be given so much preparation time?”
He turned away from the night view outside the window and picked up his coat from the sofa. He wasn’t wearing combat gear, nor was he carrying any weapons. He was just wearing casual clothes, as if he wasn’t going to a dangerous place, but to buy a bottle of Coke at the convenience store downstairs.
He walked out of the house and his figure blended into the night without disturbing anyone.
At the same time, deep in a gloomy underground building on the outskirts of City Z.
Hell Snowblower was bound to a metal chair, the alloy shackles around her wrists and ankles gleaming with an icy light. These shackles were not ordinary, carved with strange patterns that seemed to inhibit the flow of psychic powers. She struggled several times, but the familiar telekinesis fell on deaf ears, unable to mobilize even a single ounce.
“Don’t waste your energy, Miss Hell Snow.”
A gentle and refined man in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses stood before her. He was Dr. Kinos, the master of the House of Evolution. His eyes held nothing but an almost fanatical thirst for knowledge, as if he were admiring a perfect work of art.
“This ‘telekinesis suppressor’ is specially prepared for you. Although you are not my target, as a rigorous scientist, I never ignore any variables.”
Fubuki looked at him coldly. There was no fear in her emerald eyes, only icy anger. “What on earth do you want to do? Do you think that if you use me as bait, he will take the bait?”
“Oh? It seems that your relationship is indeed unusual.” Dr. Kinos adjusted his glasses, and the lenses reflected the white light of the laboratory.
Chapter 24 No One Can Stand Up Again! (Old Version)
He paused, his tone growing increasingly excited. “According to all the data I’ve collected, Lin Yu is an existence that defies common sense. His wisdom, his strength, the speed of his growth… all surpass the limits of human endurance. He is my ideal, the ultimate form of ‘evolution’! So, I’m very curious, how will such a perfect ‘specimen’ deal with this crude trap?”
Kinos’ words were like needles piercing Fubuki’s heart.
It’s like this again.
It was that look again, the one of being noticed incidentally because of someone else. From childhood, she had always lived in the shadow of her older sister, the trembling Tatsumaki. Everyone who mentioned her would say, “Oh, you’re Tatsumaki’s sister.” She worked desperately, creating the Fubuki team and becoming the top of Class B, just to prove herself, to justify the name “Hell Fubuki,” not “Ttsumaki’s sister.”
Finally, she met Lin Yu, a man who didn’t care who her sister was, a man who could see her for who she was, and even made her feel a kind of dependence and throbbing.
But now, in the eyes of this crazy scientist, she has once again become an “accessory”, a “prop” to seduce Lin Yu. This strong sense of humiliation almost crushed her self-esteem.
“You won’t succeed.” Fubuki gritted her teeth and spoke slowly, “He’s a hundred times smarter than you think. He won’t come at all!”
She said this, but her heart was conflicted. She hoped that Lin Yu would not come and step into this death trap tailored for him; but she also secretly expected that the man who was always calm and composed would fall from the sky like the hero in the story.
“He will come.” Dr. Kinos smiled confidently. He turned and looked at the huge surveillance screen next to him. “Because, no matter how intelligent a creature is, it cannot escape the shackles of emotion. What’s more, I have prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him. He will like it.”
The surveillance screen, divided into dozens of small grids, clearly displayed every corner of the base’s perimeter. The night was deep and all was silent.
Suddenly, the image on one of the screens flickered.
A figure, like a ghost, appeared without warning in front of the base’s gate. He didn’t hide, didn’t sneak, just stood there casually, as if taking a stroll in his own backyard.
It was Lin Yu.
Dr. Kinos’ pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing became rapid.
“He’s here… He’s really here! Alone!” He rubbed his hands together excitedly, speaking incoherently, “So perfect! So confident! This is the attitude of an Ultimate Creature!”
At that moment, Chuixue’s heart rose to her throat.
He really came.
What a fool! What an idiot! Hadn’t she already told him it was a trap?
An indescribable emotion surged in her chest, it was worry, anger, and a hint of… touching that she herself didn’t even want to admit.
“Activate the first line of defense.” Dr. Kinos gave the order into the communicator, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. “Send my pioneers to test the quality of the ‘perfect sample’!”
In the darkness of the night, the seemingly abandoned research institute, like a sleeping steel behemoth, slowly opened its bloodthirsty eyes. Countless hidden doors slid open, and countless dark shadows of various shapes, roaring and snarling, surged towards the lone figure like a tide.
A carefully planned hunt has begun.
In the open space outside the base, the night wind howled, stirring up dust.
Faced with the strange-looking clone monsters coming from all directions, Lin Yu’s expression did not change at all, and he even felt a little… funny.
Most of these so-called “pioneers” were Dr. Kinos’s early, immature creations. Some had insect-like limbs, some dragged beastly tails, and some resembled a clumsy patchwork of different creatures. Their only commonality was the bloodlust and madness in their eyes, and… weakness.
In Lin Yu’s perception, the energy response of these monsters was not even as good as that of some ordinary ghost-level monsters. Kinos used them as appetizers, obviously wanting to consume his own physical strength through the advantage of numbers and at the same time collect preliminary combat data.
“It’s really… a classic tactic.” Lin Yu whispered to himself.
He didn’t even assume a fighting stance, but simply took a casual step to the left as the first monster pounced in front of him, claws swinging.
This step is extremely clever.
He just managed to dodge the monster’s claws, and his body just happened to squeeze into the blind spot of the next two monsters’ attacks. He swung his hand back, and his palm, as if boneless, gently slapped the first monster’s neck.
“Pah.”
With a slight sound, the monster’s forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Its huge body seemed to have been stripped of all its bones, and it collapsed limply to the ground, instantly losing its life. Lin Yu did not use much force, but he accurately severed its central nervous system.
The whole process was smooth and there was no trace of worldly affairs.
Then, as if strolling leisurely in a garden, he began to weave through the impenetrable horde of monsters. Each of his dodges was enough to negate the attacks of several monsters, sometimes even causing them to collide with each other; each of his attacks was simple, direct, and efficient.
Or he would point his finger at a monster’s joint, paralyzing it all over; or he would kick the ground, stirring up stones that shot out like bullets, accurately hitting the eyes of several monsters; or he would cleverly use the opponent’s force to knock over a large number of his kind like a bowling ball.
He didn’t use any earth-shattering moves, nor did he unleash any terrifying energy. He simply walked, moved, and attacked. In just a few dozen seconds, hundreds of clone monsters were lying on the ground, not a single one able to stand up again.
The entire battlefield was more like an elegant and cruel dance than a fierce battle. Lin Yu was the only dancer, and those weirdos were just clumsy dancers under his feet, without even the chance to touch the corner of his clothes.
There was dead silence in the underground monitoring room.
The enthusiastic smile on Dr. Kinos’s face froze, replaced by a look of disbelief and shock. The several clone assistants behind him didn’t even dare to breathe.
“How…how is this possible?” Dr. Kinos muttered to himself, staring intently at the screen. “No unnecessary movements, no wasted energy. Every attack precisely hits the most vulnerable part…His understanding of biological structure is even…even better than mine!”
His original plan was to use these cannon fodder to collect data on Lin Yu’s combat mode, energy intensity, speed limit, and so on. But now, he hadn’t collected any data. Because what Lin Yu displayed was not “combat” at all, but an “art.” An art of killing that perfectly combined wisdom and strength.
Chapter 25 My Chance of Winning is 9.7% (Old Version)
Fubuki was also stunned.
She knew that Lin Yu was very strong, but the strength she imagined was like her sister Tornado, who destroyed everything with overwhelming telekinesis; or like the S-class heroes Vested Sage and Superalloy Darkshine, who crushed the enemy with pure physical strength.
But Lin Yu’s fighting style was completely beyond her comprehension. It was a calmness that made light work of a heavy task, a nonchalant indifference that seemed to see through everything. It was as if in his eyes, these hideous monsters were nothing more than a pile of crudely constructed dolls that he could easily dismantle.
This kind of power, more than pure strength, makes people feel… unfathomable.
“Doctor, do we still need to activate the second line of defense?” a clone assistant asked cautiously.
Dr. Kinos snapped back to his senses, a fierce glint in his eyes. “Activate! Of course I have to! I want to see how long he can maintain this ‘elegance’ in the face of true power!”
Following his command, heavy metal friction sounds were heard from inside the base.
Lin Yu dealt with the last cannon fodder, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and looked up at the tightly closed alloy door.
The gate slowly rose, and a tall figure emerged. Covered in thick metal armor, its body bulged with muscle, its back connected to a complex network of pipes. It was none other than the Armored Gorilla, one of the House of Evolution’s leaders.
“Intruder, per Dr. Kinos’s orders, you are being eliminated.” The armored gorilla’s voice was electronically synthesized, devoid of any emotion. “Based on the analysis of the previous battle data, your fighting style is skill-based, with unknown burst of power. Your overall danger level is determined to be: Dragon.”
“Oh? You can also do pre-battle analysis, which is much better than those guys who just knew how to shout.” Lin Yu smiled and flexed his wrist. “So, have you analyzed the results? What are your chances of winning?”
The armored gorilla’s electronic eyes flickered, as if performing high-speed calculations. “…Analysis gives me a 9.7% chance of winning. However, the doctor’s orders are absolute.”
“9.7%? Pretty honest.” Lin Yu nodded. “Since you’re so honest, I’ll give you a chance. Leave now and I’ll pretend I never met you.”
“Reject. Follow orders.”
Before he finished speaking, the thrusters behind the armored gorilla suddenly spurted out blue flames, and its huge body shot out at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its size. The iron fist as big as a casserole came with a whistling sound that tore through the air and went straight to Lin Yu’s face!
The force of this punch is enough to raze a building to the ground.
In the monitoring room, Dr. Kinos unconsciously clenched his fists. He was proud of the armored gorilla’s strength, and he didn’t believe anyone could withstand it with their own flesh and blood!
Fubuki’s heart was in her throat, and she even wanted to close her eyes.
However, Lin Yu’s actions once again exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Facing this thunderous blow, he neither dodged nor blocked it, but instead extended his fist as well.
His fist seemed so small compared to the armored gorilla’s iron fist.
“Head-on confrontation? Stupid!” Dr. Kinos roared.
“Bang–!!!”
There was a deafening bang.
But the result was completely different from what Kinos had imagined.
Lin Yu’s fist accurately hit a point on the armored gorilla’s iron fist. It was not the most powerful fist tip, but a seemingly insignificant joint.
A strange, spiral force emanated from Lin Yu’s fist and instantly penetrated into the armor.
“Crack…Crack…Crack…”
A crisp cracking sound started from the armored gorilla’s fist, quickly spreading like a spider web to its entire arm, then to its chest armor and leg armor…
Just one second.
The seemingly indestructible heavy armor shattered into pieces right in front of the armored gorilla’s own horrified gaze, and fell to the ground with a clang, revealing the slightly thin gorilla body inside.
“…How…how could this happen?” The armored gorilla stood there in disbelief, staring at its own exposed body. Its proud defenses had been “demolished” by a single punch.
“Your armor is well designed. The energy circuit and power transmission are excellent.” Lin Yu retracted his fist and commented lightly, “Unfortunately, there are thirty-seven fatal flaws in the structural stress distribution. I just randomly picked the one that was most convenient.”
“…” The armored gorilla fell silent. Its proud technology was like a child’s toy before the other side, its secrets easily seen through. This dimensionality reduction attack made it feel even more desperate than simply being destroyed by force.
It lost with conviction.
“I… understand.” The armored gorilla lowered his arms and gave up resistance. “Your wisdom is the most terrifying weapon. Dr. Kinos… he chose the wrong opponent.”
In the monitoring room, Dr. Kinos slumped down in a chair, his face pale and sweat pouring down.
If the solution to the cannon fodder army just now showed Lin Yu’s skills, then this punch that “dismantled” the armored gorilla showed Lin Yu’s bottomless and overwhelming wisdom.
He doesn’t even need to use strength, he can destroy the work he is proud of just by using his brain.
“Monster… He’s not an ‘evolutionary sample’ at all, he’s a monster!” Dr. Kinos’ voice trembled with fear.
Chuixue stared at the calm figure on the screen, her heart a turmoil. Shock, relief, and a strange sense of pride all mixed together.
This man seemed to refresh her understanding of “power” every time.
“So, who’s next?” Lin Yu seemed to have not taken the previous battle seriously at all. He looked up at the depths of the base, and his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the monitoring room through the communicator on the armored gorilla.
“Or…you two will come together?”
His tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.
“Or, Dr. Kinos, are you going to continue hiding behind the screen like a coward while I tear your ‘children’ into pieces one by one?”
Lin Yu’s voice echoed through the loudspeaker in the empty underground base, with a hint of mockery.
In the monitoring room, Dr. Kinos’s face turned from pale to blue, and then from blue to red. Lin Yu’s words accurately pierced his pride as a top scientist. He could accept failure, but he could not accept being regarded as a coward.
More importantly, he still has one last trump card.
A trump card that can turn everything around.
“Lead him… to the laboratory on the bottom floor.” Dr. Kinos gritted his teeth and gave the armored gorilla, who had already given up resistance, a final order. His eyes became fanatical again, with the madness of a gambler who has lost everything and is ready to bet his life.
“Yes, Doctor.” The armored gorilla picked up a relatively intact piece of armor, covered the key parts, then turned around and made a “please” gesture to Lin Yu, “Come this way, our doctor wants to see you.”
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised at the gorilla’s sensibleness. He didn’t care what the other party was doing and followed him.
Chapter 26 Why Can’t I Hit? (Old Version)
A man and a gorilla walked through a long corridor filled with the smell of metal and disinfectant. In the rooms along the way, they could see various biological organs and failed experimental subjects soaked in nutrient solution, filled with a strange and crazy atmosphere.
Chuixue watched Lin Yu’s figure getting closer and closer on the surveillance screen, and her heartbeat became faster and faster. She knew that the final showdown was coming.
Finally, they came to a huge round gate that looked like a bank vault.
The gate slowly opened, revealing an immensely spacious, pure white, circular space. Dr. Kinos stood in the center, and beside him stood a demonic figure bound by countless thick chains.
It was an extremely burly humanoid creature with dark green skin, a huge shell on its back, two long tentacles on its head, a ferocious face, and a heart-pounding, extremely tyrannical aura emanating from its body.
Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle! The House of Evolution’s most powerful masterpiece, Disaster Level: Dragon or above!
“Lin Yu!” Dr. Kinos saw him, as if he had seen a savior, but also a devil, with an extremely complicated expression. “You’re finally here! Look at it! Look at my most perfect work! The ultimate life form that embodies all the possibilities of biological evolution!”
Lin Yu’s gaze first fell on Fubuki who was tied behind Kinos.
She didn’t look injured, just a little pale, and looked at him with complicated eyes. When their eyes met in the air, Fubuki turned her head away a little unnaturally, but her ears quietly blushed.
“Let him go first.” Lin Yu’s tone was very flat, as if he was not negotiating but stating an established fact.
“Release him?” Dr. Kinos laughed nervously as if he had heard the funniest joke. “Hahaha! Do you think you’re still qualified to negotiate with me now? Lin Yu, I admit that your wisdom and skills are beyond my imagination. However, in the face of absolute power, any skill is futile! Asura, let him see what true terror is!”
As he spoke, the chains binding the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle broke one by one.
“roar–!!!”
A deafening roar erupted from the mouth of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, shaking the entire underground base violently. A pure, primal, destructive aura swept across the entire space like a storm.
Dr. Kinos was blown back repeatedly by the air wave, but his face was full of obsession and intoxication.
Fubuki was almost suffocated by the pressure of this aura. She could feel that the energy level of the monster in front of her was more terrifying than any enemy she had ever seen, even… not inferior to her sister!
“Such a strong vitality… Such a strong killing intent…” Asura Rhinoceros Beetle twisted his neck, making a sound of bones cracking, and his scarlet eyes locked on Lin Yu. “Is it you? There is a very unpleasant smell of ‘too strong’ on you!”
Before it could finish its words, its figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The next second, it appeared in front of Lin Yu, and its huge fist, carrying purple ominous energy, slammed into Lin Yu’s chest!
The speed of this punch has exceeded the speed of sound!
“Be careful!” Fubuki screamed in shock.
However, Lin Yu’s reaction was faster. He just turned slightly sideways and let the fatal punch brush against the corner of his clothes.
boom!!!
The fist wind left a terrifying hole several meters deep on the wall behind Lin Yu.
“Oh? He dodged it?” Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was a little surprised, then grinned, revealing an even more brutal smile, “Interesting! Very interesting!”
Immediately afterwards, a violent attack began.
Fists, kicks, elbows, knees—each of Asura’s attacks was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a mountain. The entire pure white space crumbled and shattered under its attacks, leaving the ground covered in a crisscross of gullies and pits.
And Lin Yu was like a small boat in this storm of destruction.
He didn’t fight back, simply dodging and moving constantly. His movements were still as free and easy, as calm and composed. No matter how dense or tricky Ashura’s attacks, he always managed to dodge them with the smallest movement and the most incredible angle.
To outsiders, it looks like a thrilling dance of death.
But in Lin Yu’s own opinion, this is just a data collection.
The strength, speed, attack pattern, frequency of energy bursts of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle…all the data were quickly analyzed, summarized, and modeled under his extraordinary wisdom.
“Why! Why can’t I hit it!” The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle became more and more frantic as it attacked. Its attacks became faster and stronger, but it still couldn’t touch Lin Yu at all. This feeling was like a strong man swinging a sledgehammer with all his strength, but he couldn’t hit a fly flying in front of him.
“Enough! Ashura! Use that move!” Dr. Kinos shouted frantically, “Activate ‘Asura Mode’! Let him see your true power!”
“Shut up! I know that without you telling me!”
Asura Duguangxian suddenly jumped back, putting some distance between him and Lin Yu. Its muscles began to swell abnormally, its skin became darker, strange purple lines appeared on its shell, and hot steam spewed out of its mouth and nostrils.
“This is a rampage mode I can’t even control! It can last for a whole week!” It laughed wildly. “It would be an honor for you to die from this move! Ashura Mode – activate!”
boom–!!!
A breath ten times more powerful than before erupted with a bang! Its body expanded again, transforming into a complete killer demon.
“Go to hell!!!”
It roared and rushed towards Lin Yu again. This time, its speed and strength had reached an incredible level, and the entire space was wailing.
However, at this moment, Lin Yu, who had been defending but not attacking, finally took action.
He stopped dodging and stood still.
At the moment when Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle’s devastating fist was about to hit his face, he slowly raised his right hand and extended a finger.
index finger.
He used his index finger to gently tap the tip of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle’s fist.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no devastating shock wave.
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle’s violent momentum, which was enough to destroy a city, just abruptly… stopped.
Its fist was less than three centimeters away from Lin Yu’s nose.
“What…what…” Ash
Luo Rhinoceros Beetle’s pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. It could feel an irresistible and incomprehensible force coming from the other party’s slender finger, dissolving all its strength into nothingness.
“The data has been collected.” Lin Yu said softly.
Chapter 27: Defective Products with Failed Design (Old Edition)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split!: Chapter 27: Design Failures and Defective Products (with pictures and text)
He stared at the monster before him, his eyes as calm as a deep pool. “Your ‘Asura Mode’ is essentially a short burst of extreme power through the overloaded burning of life energy. The energy utilization rate…is less than 30%, and the remaining 70% is wasted as heat and disordered kinetic energy.”
“To put it simply,” Lin Yu applied a little force with his index finger, “it’s a defective product with a failed design.”
“Click—”
A soft sound.
A crack appeared on the fist of Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.
Then, the crack spread along its arm and spread throughout its body like lightning.
“No… impossible… my strength… my body…” The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle looked at its body in horror. It felt that the energy in its body was rapidly collapsing and disintegrating in an incredible way.
Lin Yu’s finger not only blocked its attack, but also combined all of his divine chakra with the essence of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist to form a destructive force, which was injected into its energy circulation core.
It’s like throwing a grain of sand into a high-speed engine.
“Bang.”
The huge body of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was like a weathered sand sculpture. In a light breeze, it turned into dust all over the sky and dissipated into the air.
From beginning to end, Lin Yu only made one move.
One finger.
The entire space instantly fell into deathly silence.
Dr. Kinos stared blankly at the empty space in front of him, then looked at the man who was still pointing his finger. His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground completely.
The greatest masterpiece he was so proud of and had spent his entire life on, was just… gone?
Lost.
The defeat was so complete, so absurd, so… despairing.
He finally understood. The “evolution” he’d pursued his entire life was nothing but a joke in front of this man. He had already reached the end of his evolution, while he was just a child playing in the mud at the foot of the mountain.
Fubuki was also shocked by this scene and was speechless. Her mind was blank and she could only stare blankly at the man.
The man withdrew his finger and walked straight towards her without even looking at Kinos who was lying on the ground.
He walked up to her, reached out his hand, and gently squeezed the shackles on her wrists and ankles.
“Crack.”
The special shackles that were said to be able to restrain S-class superpowers shattered like biscuits.
After regaining his freedom, Xuefeng was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and swayed for a moment, then subconsciously held Lin Yu’s arm. His arm was very steady and strong.
“I, I’m not worried about you!” Fubuki felt the warmth on her arm, and her cheeks heated up. But she subconsciously said stubbornly, “I knew this little thing wouldn’t faze you!”
Lin Yu found it a little funny to see her saying one thing and thinking another, but he didn’t expose her. He just helped her dust off her clothes.
“Leave.”
“Huh? Where… where?”
“It’s almost dawn, and I’m a little hungry.” Lin Yu took her hand and walked back the way he came. Without looking back, he said to the distraught Dr. Kinos and the armored gorilla behind him:
“By the way, I see you guys are so good at biotechnology, so frying skewers and making octopus balls shouldn’t be a problem, right? There’s a store for sale in the west district of Z City. I think you should go there and start a new chapter in your lives. It can also be considered a kind of ‘evolution’ for you.”
After saying that, he pulled the still dazed Fubuki and walked out of the collapsed underground base.
When the first rays of morning light shone upon them, Fubuki finally came to her senses. She looked at the profile of the man beside her, which looked particularly gentle in the morning light.
Was he just… holding my hand?
Fubuki’s heart skipped a beat.
“That…Lin Yu…” she said in a low voice.
“Um?”
“Thank you…” Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but she knew that he must have heard it.
Lin Yu paused, turned his head to look at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“You’re welcome. But how are you going to repay me? Can you treat me to a bowl of beef noodles?”
Fubuki was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing.
Lin Yu and Chuixue walked side by side on the empty street. Silence spread between them, but it was not awkward. Chuixue would occasionally steal a glance at the man beside her. His pace was unhurried, as if the earth-shaking battle just now was just an insignificant after-dinner stroll.
Her wrists still retained the warmth from the shackles he had crushed, and that warmth seemed to warm her heart.
“That… the beef noodles you mentioned…” In the end, it was Fubuki who broke the silence first, her voice a little unnatural.
Lin Yu stopped and looked at her sideways. The morning light outlined his clear outline. “Why, do you want to default on your debt?”
“Who’s going to default on their debt?” Fubuki retorted immediately, her cheeks flushed. She straightened her back and tried to maintain the aura of “Hell Fubuki.” “I know where the best beef noodle restaurant is in City Z. Follow me!”
As if to hide something, she walked quickly in front, and her posture of leading the way seemed a little deliberate.
Lin Yu looked at her back, which said, “I’m not walking so fast because I’m shy,” and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he followed her.
The noodle shop was small, and the owner was an elderly man who was yawning as he prepared to open the shop. He was a little surprised to see a customer, but he still cooked the noodles skillfully.
The steaming hot beef noodles were served quickly. The big chunks of beef, chewy noodles, rich bone broth and emerald green onions were fragrant.
Fubuki lowered her head, eating in small bites, her mind completely unconcerned with her appearance. Her mind replayed everything that had happened in the underground base. That finger, the word “defective,” and the dispersing dust. Every scene overturned the worldview she had built up over the past twenty years.
In her eyes, the S-class hero was once an unattainable peak. But now, she felt that perhaps above that peak, there was a completely different sky.
And that man was standing above that sky.
“What are you thinking about?” Lin Yu’s voice pulled her back from her chaotic thoughts.
Fubuki looked up and met his calm eyes. Those eyes seemed to hold the universe, so deep that it was impossible to see through them. She opened her mouth, but didn’t know where to begin. Ask about his origins? About his strength? Why was he there?
In the end, all the words came down to one sentence: “Have you…always been this strong?”
Lin Yu picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. “The definition of strength and weakness depends on who you are referring to.” He did not answer directly, but his tone was matter-of-fact. “For me, this is nothing.”
It’s nothing.
These light words were more impactful than any arrogant declaration. Fubuki’s heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. She suddenly felt that her previous obsession with achieving first place in Class B, forming the Fubuki Team, and even attempting to challenge her sister—all those obsessions seemed insignificant and ridiculous at that moment.
Chapter 28: Angel Yan encounters a special dilemma (old version)
Anime Chat Group: The Tornado is Split!: Chapter 28: Angel Yan Faces a Special Dilemma (with pictures and text)
The meal ended in a wonderful atmosphere. Fubuki rushed to pay the bill, fulfilling her promise of “repaying” the favor.
When I walked out of the noodle shop, it was already dawn.
“I…I should go back.” Fubuki stood at the intersection, feeling a little awkward. The members of the Fubuki group must have been frantic with anxiety.
“Yeah.” Lin Yu nodded.
“Then…goodbye.” Fubuki said, turning around to leave, but couldn’t help but look back and added, “Thank you for what you did today.”
This time, her voice was much clearer and her eyes were particularly serious.
Lin Yu looked at her, stopped joking, and just nodded slightly.
It was not until Chuixue’s figure disappeared around the corner that Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards his residence.
Back to the apartment, which was too simple, Lin Yu threw himself on the sofa. He closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into the special space deep in his mind.
A virtual chat interface is flashing with several unread messages.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Hahahaha! Let me tell you, today in Asgard’s arena, I dispatched a giant lava beast from Muspelheim with a single blow! Sparks flew everywhere, and the audience cheered for me! I must have my father host a grand banquet tonight to celebrate!
Uchiha Sasuke: Humph, so noisy. It’s just a wild beast.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: @Uchiha Sasuke, can’t you say something nice? That’s a giant one that can spew magma! How about I catch one and send it to you next time so you can experience the heroic spirit of an Asgardian warrior?
Uchiha Sasuke: Boring. I’m training now, so I don’t have time to play house with you.
Watching the two people’s daily bickering, Lin Yu smiled. This chat group that spanned countless dimensions was his biggest secret and the source of his power. Every member of the group was a top powerhouse from a different world.
At this moment, Angel Yan, who had been diving, finally bubbled up.
[Angel Yan]: Haha, men always like to prove their worth by showing off their muscles.
Her tone was the same as always, with a touch of superior elegance and a touch of provocation. Yan was the left-wing guard of Holy Kesha. Her age of over 7,000 years and her status as an angel gave her ample authority to look down on these “younger” members of the group.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Angel? Sounds like a nice title. Beautiful lady, will you come to Asgard to attend my celebration party? The mead here is world-famous!
Angel Yan: No need. I’m not interested in your primitive way of celebrating. Besides, I’m in a little trouble right now and I’m not in the mood to drink.
trouble?
Lin Yu’s attention was immediately drawn to these two words. What Angel Yan called “trouble” was definitely not a trivial matter.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Trouble? Who dares to mess with an angel? Tell me where he is, and I’ll take my Meowth Hammer and help you deal with it!
Although Sasuke didn’t say anything, Lin Yu could guess that he must have pricked up his ears. This guy, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, was actually quite concerned about his companions’ affairs.
Angel Yan: It’s not a battle. If it were just a fight, I’d be reduced to ash with a wave of my hand. I’m on an observation mission in the Freljord system. One of the indigenous civilizations here has developed a… well, a kind of ideological plague.
Angel Yan: An extreme form of nihilism is spreading like a virus. They are beginning to question life and deny the meaning of existence. The vitality of entire civilizations is waning and withering at a visible rate. I can destroy the source of the virus with my Thunder Judgment, but I cannot eradicate the ideas that have been embedded in their genes and culture. This is not in accordance with the order of justice.
A plague of thought? A virus of nihilism?
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. This was indeed a tricky question. For Thor, who was used to solving problems physically, and Sasuke, who used ninjutsu and eye techniques to change the situation, this was completely beyond the scope of the question.
Strength can destroy the body, but it is difficult to change the mind. Forcible interference violates the so-called “just order” of the angels.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Thoughts? What are those? Can you eat them? Why not just crack their heads open and pour out those bad thoughts?
[Angel Yan]: …It doesn’t make sense with your muscle head.
Yan’s tone was full of helplessness.
At this moment, the cold mechanical voice sounded in Lin Yu’s mind without warning.
[Detected that group member ‘Angel Yan’ is in a special predicament, triggering the hidden mission: Angel’s Troubles. ][Mission Content: Provide Angel Yan with an effective solution to the “Thought Plague” and help the Freljord civilization escape the crisis of nihilism.][Quest Reward: Unlock the new entry – ‘Sacred Body’.]Holy body?
Lin Yu’s eyes instantly sharpened. His current physical fitness was already very strong in this world, but that was ultimately only a physical strength. The word “sacred” often implied a higher-dimensional quality. Immunity to mental pollution? Resistance to conceptual attacks? Or perhaps, the ability to purify and create?
Regardless, this is a must-get entry.
He looked at the troubling text of Angel Yan in the chat group and tapped lightly on the virtual keyboard with his fingers.
[That adult]: @天使嫣, please organize the social structure, historical culture, and the propagation model and core logic of that civilization into a data package and send it to me.
When Angel Yan, who was far away in another universe, saw this message, a hint of surprise flashed in his blue eyes.
A member that she cannot fully analyze with her “Eye of Insight” is going to help her solve a difficult problem that even Queen Kesha has no ready-made answers to?
She hesitated for a moment.
Angel Yan: Are you sure? This isn’t a problem that can be solved by brute force. It involves genetics, memes, sociology, psychology… It’s a very complex, civilization-wide issue.
[That adult]: Less nonsense and more work.
Lin Yu’s reply was simple and direct, without any emotion.
This unquestionable confidence actually made Angel Yan a little uneasy. She thought about it and finally decided to give it a try. After all, the situation couldn’t get any worse.
She mobilized her authority as a high-level angel and quickly sent a huge stream of data about the Freljord civilization through a special channel in the chat group.
Angel Yan: Data packet sent. I’d like to see what surprises you, the mysterious ‘sir,’ can bring me.
Lin Yu looked at the data stream that instantly flashed across the screen in front of him, which was so huge that it could cause any supercomputer to crash, his eyes as calm as water.
At this moment, his brain began to work at an unimaginable speed.
A torrent of data surged through Lin Yu’s consciousness space.
History, culture, genetic sequences, social models, religious evolution, philosophical thinking… a civilization called “Freljord” was quickly deconstructed, reorganized, and restored in Lin Yu’s mind.
Chapter 29: Angel’s Troubles Completed (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split! : Chapter 29 Mission Angel’s Troubles Completed
The data packet sent by Angel Yan was massive, and the information contained in it was enough for the historians of a planet’s civilization to study for hundreds of years. But for Lin Yu, who possessed the entry for “supernatural comprehension”, this was just a slightly more complicated reading comprehension question.
His mind was like a quantum computer with infinite power, shuttling through countless clues of information and quickly grasping the essence of the problem.
The so-called “thought plague” is, at its core, a cleverly packaged logic bomb. It exploits the self-doubt and existential anxiety that inevitably arise when a civilization reaches a certain stage of development, and through a series of seemingly impeccable logical deductions, ultimately leads to the conclusion that “everything is meaningless.”
This logical loop is so perfect that once you’re trapped in it, it’s hard to escape. It’s like an ingenious maze of thought: once you’re inside, all paths lead to despair.
“Interesting.” Lin Yu’s mouth curled up a little, “Use logic to destroy logic, and use ideas to fight ideas.”
The atmosphere in the chat group was somewhat solemn.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: If you can’t figure it out, don’t even think about it. It’s most satisfying to just go over and fight!
Uchiha Sasuke: Idiot. This isn’t a dimension issue at all.
Although Sasuke was harsh in his words, his attention was also highly focused. This confrontation that transcended the physical and energy levels was novel to him, and it also made him vaguely aware that he might encounter similar enemies in the future.
At this moment, on an angel battleship in the Freljord galaxy, Yan Zheng sat on the commander’s throne with his chin in one hand, staring at the data panel with interest.
Her “Eye of Insight” is trying to track the “Observer’s” signal in reverse, but the result is still chaos, as if the other party does not exist in any known space-time coordinates.
“What a mysterious guy.” She whispered to herself, but deep in her blue eyes, there was a hint of expectation that she herself was not aware of.
Just then, Lin Yu’s message popped up.
The Virus’s core logic is based on the inevitable failure of the finite against the infinite. They believe that individual life is finite, the continuation of civilization is finite, and the universe’s space and time is infinite. In the face of infinity, any finite effort approaches zero and is therefore meaningless.
Yan’s eyes suddenly became serious.
Hit the nail on the head.
It took Lin Yu less than ten minutes to accurately point out the core of the problem, a speed that even exceeded the analysis of her angel think tank.
Angel Yan: Exactly. This logical trap is difficult to break. For a pre-nuclear civilization that hasn’t yet ventured into interstellar space, the ‘infinity of the universe’ is the ultimate fear they cannot imagine or overcome.
[That adult]: Why do you want to crack it?
These four simple words left Yan stunned.
Angel Yan: What do you mean? If we don’t crack it, will we just let them slide into the abyss of self-destruction? This is not in line with our order of justice.
[That Lord]: Your righteous order is about protection, not confinement. You cannot walk the entire path for them. This logical trap itself is a hurdle they must overcome on their path to civilizational evolution.
Lin Yu’s words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yan’s heart.
The angels are used to looking down on all living beings from a macro perspective. They bring order and protect the weak, but because of this, they subconsciously regard those lower civilizations as children who need constant care.
[The Lord]: You cannot use the truth of a higher dimension to convince a lower-dimensional civilization; that will only make them more desperate. What you need to give them is not an answer, but a new ‘reference,’ a new ‘possibility.’
[Angel Yan]: New possibilities?
The Lord: Yes. Since they are stuck in a vicious cycle of finite and infinite, let’s give them an example of how finite can create infinite.
Lin Yu finished speaking, and his hands quickly tapped on the virtual keyboard. He did not write any complex anti-logical programs, nor did he construct any profound philosophical theories.
He simply artistically processed an event he had just experienced, blended it with the cultural background of the Freljord civilization, and wrote it into a short story.
The protagonist of the story is a scientist pursuing “absolute power.” He has exhausted all his efforts to create a perfect creature, which he believes is the “end point of evolution.” However, a passing traveler, with just a finger, turns this so-called “perfect creation” to dust.
The traveler told the scientists that his creation wasn’t the end, but rather a “defective product of a failed design.” True evolution isn’t the infinite accumulation of power, but the ultimate pursuit of energy efficiency, unleashing limitless possibilities within a limited body.
At the end of the story, the desperate scientist is guided by a traveler to a fast food restaurant on the corner, where he learns how to make the most delicious dishes with the simplest ingredients. This is also a kind of “evolution”.
The story is simple, even a little absurd.
But it cleverly circumvents the grand narrative of “life is finite, the universe is infinite” and brings the two concepts of “evolution” and “meaning” back from the macro to the micro.
It does not directly deny “nothingness”, but provides a possibility to pursue “infinite” improvement within the framework of “limited”.
The Adult: Spread this story through art forms they can understand, such as poetry, drama, or murals. It will act as a mental vaccine, fostering antibodies against nihilism. The rest is up to them.
Yan looked at the story and was silent for a long time.
For the first time, her brain, which had been operating for more than seven thousand years and was comparable to a supercomputer, felt an emotion called “shock.”
This story doesn’t contain a single profound moral, yet it’s filled with wisdom. Rather than denying the plight of the Freljordians, it acknowledges the existence of “finiteness,” and within this “finite” cage, it opens a small window to the realm of “infinity.”
What a brilliant tactic!
A little effort can achieve great results.
Angel Yan: I understand…
She took a deep breath and closed the communication with Lin Yu. She stood up, her blue eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.
“Pass on my orders!” Yan’s voice echoed throughout the bridge. “Activate the highest emergency plan for ‘cultural intervention’. Implant this story… no, this ‘oracle’, into the core cultural circle of the Freljord civilization. As quickly as possible!”
“Yes! Yan!”
Following the order from Angel Yan, the invisible seeds of culture began to quietly take root and sprout in every corner of Freljord.
Almost at the same time, the cold system prompt sound rang again in Lin Yu’s mind.
[The mission ‘Angel’s Troubles’ has been completed.][Task rewards are being distributed…][Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a new entry – ‘Sacred Body’! ]Chapter 30: The Effect…Immediate! (Old Version)
Anime chat group: The tornado is broken! : Chapter 30: The effect… is immediate!
An indescribable warm energy instantly surged out from the depths of Lin Yu’s soul and flowed through his limbs and bones.
This energy is not intended to strengthen his muscles or bones, but to essentially “purify” and “upgrade” him.
He felt his body become purer than ever before, as if all acquired impurities had been eliminated. Every cell emanated a faint, holy glow. His perception of energy became even more acute, and he could even clearly “see” the most microscopic energy particles floating in the air.
His existence itself seemed to carry a kind of “sacred” attribute, which could naturally resist all evil, filth, curses and spiritual erosion.
If his previous form was a peerless divine weapon made of ordinary iron that had been tempered through thousands of hammerings, then now he was a holy sword made of divine gold and forged by the laws of heaven and earth.
Still sharp, but the essence is different.
Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked at his outstretched palm. The skin was still the same, but inside, there had been earth-shaking changes.
He could feel that his connection with this world seemed to have deepened.
At this time, Angel Yan’s profile picture lit up again in the chat group. This time, she did not @ everyone, but initiated a private chat with Lin Yu.
Angel Yan: The effect… is immediate. The morale of the Freljordians is rapidly improving. Thank you.
Her tone lacked her usual arrogance and provocation, and instead carried a sincere solemnity.
Angel Yan: Who…are you? Your wisdom doesn’t seem to belong to a lesser civilization.
Lin Yu looked at her question and smiled slightly.
[The Adult]: It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I can solve problems.
Angel Yan: I’ll remember you. If you ever visit the known universe, please come visit the City of Angels. Holy Queen Kesha might be interested in you.
This is an invitation of extremely high standards.
Lin Yu did not reply immediately, but simply exited the chat group.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling city. The sun was shining brightly, and everything seemed so ordinary and real.
But only he himself knew that in just half an hour, he not only saved an alien civilization on the verge of destruction, but also made his own life level complete another huge leap.
And the ripples of all this have just begun.
A strange scene is unfolding beside the ruins in the western district of City Z.
A clearing had been created at the entrance to the former “House of Evolution” underground base, and a brand new octopus ball food truck was parked in a prominent position.
A giant gorilla, over 2.5 meters tall and wearing a pink apron, was frantically using two specially made, iron-like tools to clumsily flip the meatballs on the baking tray. His expression was so focused, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was not preparing a snack but performing a delicate surgical operation.
“Idiot! How many times have I told you, timing! Timing is the soul of Takoyaki!”
Next to the dining car, a man in a white coat and disheveled hair was roaring at the gorilla, spit flying everywhere. He was the once-arrogant Dr. Kinos.
At that moment, he was holding a copy of “Octopus Balls: Beginner to Expert,” pointing to a page and excitedly explaining, “See?! The perfect ball has a golden, slightly crispy exterior, while remaining fluid and tender on the inside! This is a perfect unity of contradictions, the ultimate embodiment of culinary aesthetics! This is… true evolution!”
The armored gorilla shrank his neck aggrievedly and muttered softly: “But Doctor, I’m just a gorilla…”
“Shut up! From today on, you are no longer called Armored Gorilla, your code name is ‘Mangzi No. 1’! Forget your past identity and devote yourself to this great evolutionary journey!” Dr. Kinos shouted almost fanatically.
At this moment, several figures appeared not far away.
Leading the group was a man in a green suit with a crew cut. He was none other than Snake, the 77th B-class hero. He was accompanied by several C-class heroes.
They were ordered by the Hero Association to investigate the terrifying and immeasurable energy reaction detected here a few days ago.
“Mr. Snake, the center of the energy reaction is nearby. But… why is there a snack stand here?” A C-class hero looked confused.
Snake frowned, warily assessing the scene before him. A mad scientist, an absurdly large gorilla, and an octopus ball food truck—this combination was bizarre no matter how you looked at it.
“Hey! You two!” Snake stepped forward, striking a pose he thought was intimidating. “This is the Hero Association’s investigation area. Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Dr. Kinos looked up and glanced at him, his eyes full of intellectual superiority. “You ordinary people don’t understand. We are carrying out a great cause that concerns the future of mankind.”
“A great cause?” Snake laughed in anger. “Making octopus balls?”
“Ignorance!” Dr. Kinos shook his head in anguish. “You only see the surface! What we’re studying is how to create infinite flavors from limited ingredients! This is philosophical speculation, the sublimation of art, and… a new chapter in evolution!”
As he spoke, he excitedly picked up a freshly baked, still slightly burnt meatball and handed it to Snake: “Come, taste our latest failure and feel the twists and turns and hardships that lead to the truth!”
Snake looked at the dark, unidentified object and Dr. Kinos’s fanatical eyes, and subconsciously took a step back.
He felt that the two guys in front of him might not be mentally normal.
“Take them back to the association headquarters and interrogate them!” Snake lost his patience and ordered his men.
However, just as the C-Class heroes were about to step forward, the Armored Gorilla… no, “Maruko No. 1” suddenly turned around and stood in front of Dr. Kinos. Although he was wearing a funny apron, his huge body and the fierce aura he inadvertently exuded still made the C-Class heroes’ legs weaken instantly.
“No…you are not allowed to disturb the doctor’s evolution!” said Maruko No. 1 in a muffled voice.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while.
Just as the tense atmosphere reached its peak, an ominous shadow suddenly enveloped everyone without warning. It wasn’t clouds blocking the sun, but a chill that came from biological instinct and made the hairs on the back of your head stand on end.
A silver-haired young man, slender as a cheetah, had been standing there for some time. His eyes were sharp as knives, and a playful yet cruel curve hung at the corner of his mouth, as if he were examining a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
“The hero game ends here.”
Chapter 31 Golden Mangekyō Sharingan (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split!: Chapter 31: Golden Mangekyō Sharingan Illustrations and Text
Before he could finish his words, he had vanished into a gray phantom. Snake felt a gust of wind rushing in his face. He didn’t even have time to raise his vaunted snake-biting fist before a ripping pain shot through his abdomen, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The other C-rank heroes, like fallen leaves swept by the wind, instantly lost consciousness.
Meatball No. 1 roared, his fist, the size of a casserole, hurling itself at the phantom with the sound of thunder and lightning. However, the young man merely shifted his body, then ghosted behind him. His palm, like a knife, sliced the orangutan’s neck with precision. The massive figure collapsed to its knees, stirring up a cloud of dust and sending the scorched meatballs scattering across the ground.
Garou waved his hands, his gaze sweeping across the fallen, groaning heroes, finally landing on Dr. Genos, the only one standing. Seeing that he was a powerless man, Garou scoffed disdainfully and prepared to turn and leave.
“What a crude imitation.”
Dr. Kinos spoke suddenly, pushing his glasses up. His eyes weren’t filled with fear, but rather the enthusiasm of a researcher discovering an interesting specimen. “Your boxing style is very similar to that young man’s. But your strength is still far behind. He is far stronger than you.”
The hungry wolf suddenly stopped.
The world seemed to be muted.
The wind died, and the dust stirred up by the dim streetlights froze into a still painting. The groans of the fallen heroes, the clamor of the distant streets—all sounds receded like a tide, leaving only the pounding drum of Hungry Wolf’s heart and the few words that stirred a torrent of emotion in his mind.
“Imitation?”
This word was like a poisoned steel needle, accurately piercing his proud self-esteem.
Countless opponents who were easily defeated by him flashed through his mind, and the absolute confidence that crushed everything actually showed a crack at this moment.
“He is much stronger than you.”
If the previous sentence was humiliation, this one was judgment. A chill, more piercing than the wound in his abdomen, shot up Hungry Wolf’s spine and up his head. Stronger? On this path, a path he believed he had reached its peak, there was actually another prototype standing even higher?
The cynical murderous intent instantly dissipated, replaced by a terrifying aura of shock and rage that threatened to ignite the air. He slowly turned around and spoke through gritted teeth, each word measured.
“Who is that young man?”
Inside the apartment, the air seemed to have solidified into glass.
Lin Yu sat cross-legged, eyes closed, a faint, hazy aura swirling around him. This was no ordinary chakra; it was mingled with an indescribable sacredness and majesty, as if from a higher dimension. This was the divine chakra he had extracted through years of hard work, from the fusion of his own soul’s essence and the laws of the world.
Quantitative change finally led to qualitative change.
As the final wisp of divine chakra was guided into his eyes, an indescribable burning sensation, accompanied by stinging pain, erupted from deep within his eye sockets. This pain was far beyond the endurance of an ordinary person, enough to send even the most determined ninja reeling on the ground. However, Lin Yu’s body had long since transcended the mundane through countless trials and tribulations. His powerful vitality and resilience, like a surging river, rapidly washed and nourished the nerves and cells of his eyes, which were undergoing a dramatic transformation.
He made no sound, simply enduring it silently. His consciousness sank into a blood-red space, where three pitch-black magatama spun madly, chasing and colliding with each other. Ultimately, under the smelting power of divine chakra, they gradually dissolved and reassembled.
After an unknown amount of time, the tearing pain slowly receded, replaced by an unprecedented sense of clarity and control. The world seemed completely different to him. He could “see” the dancing paths of every dust particle in the room, “hear” the subtlest vibrations of molecules in the wall, and even “smell” the blazing scent of the sun as light filtered through the window.
Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
In the mirror, a pair of strange eyes were reflected. Within their crimson irises, no longer the iconic black pinwheel or dart pattern of the Uchiha clan, but a strange rune, outlined by three golden arcs, resembling a shamrock. It hovered quietly in the center of the blood-red pupils, without the slightest hint of evil, but rather exuding a sacred and ancient charm, as if imbued with some profound truth from the dawn of the universe.
Golden Mangekyō Sharingan!
What surprised Lin Yu even more was that the burden of opening these eyes was almost negligible for his current physique. The cold power that was enough to make the Uchiha clan members blind in the original novel, the moment it flowed into his body, was washed and assimilated by his vast sea of blood and energy, turning into nutrients to nourish himself.
“So, what’s the new ability?”
Lin Yu’s mind shifted, and he focused his attention on his right eye. Everything in his field of vision instantly lost its color, transforming into a black and white world composed of countless delicate threads. The water cup on the table, its existence was the “effect,” and its “cause”—the firing of the glass, the pouring of water, and his action of placing it on the table—was all connected by clear lines of cause and effect.
He could even see that if he reached out and pushed the cup at this moment, it would roll along a bright trajectory and eventually break at a certain point. This was a future “fruit”.
Eye of cause and effect.
He could discern the causes of all things and foresee their future consequences. In combat, this meant that the cause of his opponent’s every movement, from muscle contraction to chakra flow, was unmasked, and the ultimate attack trajectory, the “result,” was precisely locked in place. This was a skill tailor-made for his calculating and analytical mind.
The ability of the left eye is more direct and domineering.
Lin Yu cast his gaze towards a fallen leaf outside the window. The golden rune in his left eye shifted slightly, and an invisible force descended upon him. The fallen leaf, which should have been drifting in the wind, suddenly froze in mid-air. Then, without any external force, it seemed as if a fast-forward button had been pressed, instantly experiencing the entire process from emerald green to withered yellow, and then to ash.
Time deprivation.
It’s not a true acceleration of time, but rather a forced deprivation of an object or life on a small scale, allowing it to be fast-forwarded to a certain point in the future or past. Against living things, it might cause them to shrink instantly or age to death.
Lin Yu closed his eyes with satisfaction, the strange vision in his eyes faded, and his eyes returned to their normal black color. These two abilities, one focusing on insight and control, and the other focusing on attack and obliteration, complemented each other, allowing his already powerful strength to leap to a higher level again.
After completing his training, he felt relaxed and refreshed. He picked up his phone and habitually opened the chat group that connected the universe. As soon as he entered, a system notification popped up.
[Ding! “Want to be a good dad” has joined the group chat.]Lin Yu: “…”
Lin Yu looked at this ID and didn’t know what expression to make for a moment. This style of painting was a bit too strange.
What’s this “wanting to be a good father” thing going on? Is this some character from a family drama who’s strayed into the world?
At this point, the group was in an uproar.
Chapter 32: Do you regret not having a biological son? (Old Version)
Anime chat group: The tornado is broken! : Chapter 32: Do you regret not having a biological son?
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Oh! Newcomer! Welcome! Your name is interesting. Are you from Asgard? My father, Odin, is also a good father, although he can be very strict sometimes and likes to throw me to Earth.”
Angel Yan: “A…father? Interesting. Based on my initial analysis with my Eye of Insight, the emotion behind this ID is extremely intense, a complex mix of pride, regret, and anticipation. Newcomer, state your name and civilization.”
Yan’s words were as aloof as ever, yet with a hint of inquiry.
Although Sasuke only sent a string of ellipsis, Lin Yu could almost imagine his frown at the moment, with an expression of “boredom” and “incomprehension”. For a person who had personally severed all family ties, the word “good father” itself might be a bit ironic.
After a brief silence, the newcomer with the strange ID finally spoke. His method of speaking was also unique: instead of using text, he directly sent a voice message.
When I clicked on the voice message, a bold, rough and full-bodied laugh came out from the phone, which was very contagious, as if you could see a strong man holding a wine bowl and laughing loudly.
“Gulala… What god’s name? What civilization? I don’t understand. However, this little thing is quite interesting. It can talk to people from different places. You can call me Whitebeard.”
The voice was as loud as a bell, carrying an unquestionable majesty, but it did not make people feel oppressive. Instead, it had a sense of vastness and openness like the ocean.
Whitebeard?
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the image of a man holding a naginata, with a burly figure like a mountain and a crescent-shaped white beard hanging from the corner of his mouth, instantly appeared in his mind.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Whitebeard? A great title! He sounds like a powerful warrior! My beard is golden! If we get a chance, we can have a competition to see whose beard is more handsome! And of course, the hammer!”
Angel Yan: “Whitebeard… sounds like a code name, or rather, a respectful name given to you by the world. Your voice is full of power, so you must be no mortal. So, the dream of ‘father’, does it mean that you want to have many children?”
Yan’s questions were direct and full of the curiosity of a researcher.
Another voice message was sent out, still with that iconic laugh.
“Gulala… the little girl is half right. As for sons, I have so many, too many to count! They are all my best family!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the group fell silent for a moment.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Wow! A lot of sons? You’re amazing! Even more than my father!”
Uchiha Sasuke: “…boring show-off.”
Sasuke’s words were cold and full of disdain. The word “family” was a thorn in his side.
Whitebeard’s laughter suddenly stopped. He seemed to be able to sense the other person’s emotions from the cold words.
“Hmm? Kid, from the sound of your voice, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the word ‘family’.” His voice became deep. Although there was no anger in his voice, the pressure from the strongest man in the world made the atmosphere tense even across the chat group.
Sasuke didn’t reply. He never bothered to argue with others about these things.
Angel Yan: “It seems the newcomer is the patriarch of a large family. However, your dream is to ‘be a good father’, not ‘already a good father’. This means that in your heart, you haven’t done well enough, or there are some irreparable regrets. Am I right?”
Yan’s insight is as sharp as ever.
Whitebeard fell silent. That signature laugh didn’t reappear. After a long silence, he sent a short message, seemingly unwilling to reveal his emotions through voice.
[Want to be a good father]: “Girl, you are very smart. Some things are indeed the regrets of my life.”
This sentence, with a hint of loneliness, made the atmosphere in the group a little heavy.
Lin Yu, who had been diving and observing, finally decided to speak at this time. He typed a line of words, which exploded like a thunder on the calm lake surface.
[The Adult]: “Regret? Regret that you don’t have a biological son, right?”
Lin Yu’s message was like an invisible needle, accurately piercing the softest or most secret corner of everyone’s heart in the group.
In an instant, the chat group, which had been quite lively just a moment ago, fell into a dead silence deeper than the deep sea.
In Asgard, beneath the dazzling light of the Rainbow Bridge, Thor was about to type a series of heroic speeches about beards and battle, but his fingers froze mid-air. His erratic thoughts seemed struck by an invisible lightning bolt, and for the first time, he felt at a loss for words. The words on the screen brought a chill unlike anything he had ever felt on the battlefield.
Angel Xingyun, seated on the throne, her silver wings trembled slightly. For the first time, pure astonishment appeared in her eyes, those eyes that could see through everything. This was not the result of data analysis, but a cruel truth that struck the soul. She looked at the ID named “That Lord”, as if she wanted to penetrate the barriers of time and space to see the terrifying existence behind it.
In a dark, unknown corner, Uchiha Sasuke leaned against a cold wall, his three-magatama Sharingan spinning silently within his dark eyes. He had initially scoffed at Whitebeard’s talk of “family,” but Lin Yu’s words were like a key, forcibly unlocking his dusty memories. He, having severed his own bloodline, and the man before him, who longed for it but could not obtain it… how ironic, and how… similar. A complex emotion, a mixture of self-mockery and pity, that he himself hadn’t even noticed, quietly swept through his heart.
The heaviest storm comes on the Grand Route.
On the deck of the Moby Dick, the sun was warm, the sea breeze was gentle, and the air was filled with the smell of liquor and the sea. Everything was full of vitality.
However, Whitebeard, sitting on the huge exclusive chair, seemed to have become a stone statue frozen in an instant.
Every wrinkle on his face froze, and the heroic and open-minded attitude that had disregarded everything vanished like dust blown away by the wind, leaving behind a sense of utter, unprepared shock. His massive hand, powerful enough to crush steel, trembled slightly, the “chat group terminal” in his grasp feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Those words, like a red-hot iron, burned into the deepest recesses of his soul. The forbidden zone he had carefully concealed with countless “sons,” a heart as vast as the ocean, and a power that could shatter everything, the initial and most fundamental regret he had nearly forgotten, had been blatantly and forcefully kicked open.
The laughter of “Gulalalalal…” could no longer be heard, leaving only the silent sobbing of the sea.
Chapter 33: Of course something is happening! And it’s a big deal! (Old version)
The dead silence in the chat group seemed to have solidified into a physical glacier that spanned dimensions.
Asgard, Thor’s fingertips hovered above the screen. The chill called “regret” that seeped through the text could freeze the souls of gods more than the frost giants of Jotunheim.
For the first time, he felt that the power of thunder, of which he was so proud, was so pale and powerless in the face of such deep-seated wounds. He wanted to say something, like “True strength lies within,” but it felt utterly hypocritical. After all, he had a father whom he often complained about yet deeply loved, and a younger brother whom he always envied but could not let go. He could not truly understand the emptiness of “wanting but not having.”
Angel Nebula Yan folded her wings, and the light around the throne seemed to dim slightly. Her brain was frantically calculating, trying to analyze the behavior of “that lord.” This didn’t seem like a provocation, nor did it seem like unprovoked malice.
Yan’s brow furrowed slightly as she came to a conclusion that frightened even herself: This might be a form of… “therapy.” An alternative form of therapy that used the cruelest means to force the person to confront their most vulnerable wounds, thereby achieving true relief.
At the border of the Land of Fire, Sasuke turned off the screen. He leaned against the cold rock wall, the night wind ruffling his hair across his forehead, obscuring the three-magatama-shaped Sharingan eyes. Regret? He scoffed, a hint of bitterness in his laughter that he himself hadn’t noticed.
The old man regretted not having a biological son, while he, himself, had severed the blood ties with the person closest to him in the world. How ironic. He understood better than anyone the weight of regret, the pain of feeling like an invisible hand gripped his heart, choking him in his dreams. Lin Yu’s words didn’t sting him; instead, they served as a mirror, revealing a completely different version of himself.
He and Whitebeard, one abandoned the other voluntarily, the other longed for the other but could not get it, but they ended up in the same place, both became lonely souls cursed by the word “family”.
And in the center of the storm, in Lin Yu’s residence, everything was as calm as before.
He didn’t even glance at the chat group again.
To him, that sentence was nothing more than a trivial chess piece he casually moved during his cultivation. He knew exactly what chain reaction that piece would trigger, but he didn’t care.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the room, his eyes closed. The divine chakra in his body flowed slowly through his meridians like a golden sea of stars.
“wind……”
Lin Yu muttered to himself.
The divine chakra began to vibrate at a strange frequency, no longer simply strengthening the body, but resonating with the “wind” element in the surrounding space. He could feel the flow of air, the changes in air pressure, and even the trajectory of every dust particle, all becoming extremely clear in his perception.
“Flying isn’t simply using energy to propel yourself into the air. That’s brute force, and it’s inefficient. True flying is becoming part of the wind, commanding space to lift you up.”
Lin Yu’s comprehension was fully demonstrated at this moment. He did not imitate any known flying ninjutsu, but instead started from the most fundamental principles. Divine chakra was like an invisible hand, subtly tampering with the physical laws of the small space around his body.
The gravity beneath him seemed to be weakened, and the airflow around his body formed a stable and delicate vortex, gently lifting him upwards.
There were no strong winds and no rolling waves.
Lin Yu’s body floated up smoothly and slowly, defying common sense. It was one foot off the ground, then one meter, and finally stopped in mid-air. He opened his eyes, and his golden eyes reflected the ground beneath his feet, calm and without ripples.
This is an absolute control, an ultimate understanding of energy and laws.
Just as he was enjoying this new experience, there was a regular knock on the door.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
Lin Yu moved his mind, and his body landed smoothly on the ground, as if he had never left the ground. He walked to the door and opened it.
Standing outside the door was Hell Blowing Snow.
Today, she wasn’t wearing her signature black dress, but a more sophisticated, tight-fitting combat uniform that perfectly accentuated her curvy figure. However, her beautiful face now held a hint of obvious anxiety and… a subtle hint of anticipation.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Yu’s tone was as calm as water.
When Chuixue saw Lin Yu, she was relieved at first, but then she was a little angry at his calm appearance. This man seemed to be always indifferent to what happened in the outside world.
“Of course there is something! And it’s a big deal!” Fubuki’s tone was a little hurried. She habitually wanted to show her momentum as the leader of the “Fubuki Group”, but in front of Lin Yu, this momentum would always unconsciously weaken. She cleared her throat and tried to make her voice sound more majestic and seductive.
“A mission, issued by the Hero Association, the disaster level… estimated to be ‘Dragon’ level.”
The word “dragon” made the air seem even heavier. It represented a terrifying threat capable of destroying several cities.
Lin Yu’s expression did not change at all. He even yawned and turned to close the door: “I’m not interested. Go by yourself.”
“Wait!” Fubuki quickly put her hand against the door, her chest heaving slightly with anxiety. “The reward! This time the reward is very generous! The basic bonus given by the association is a high nine-digit figure! If we can solve it perfectly, the subsequent urban reconstruction contribution assessment and special rewards will add up to an even more outrageous figure!”
Lin Yu stopped closing the door.
He turned his head, his eyes finally showing a slight fluctuation. He looked at Fubuki and confirmed, “Nine digits?”
That’s right! And it’s a start!” Seeing his reaction, Fubuki was delighted, knowing she had found his lifeblood. She puffed out her chest and threw out her chips: “I know this mission may not mean much to you, but it’s very important to me and our Fubuki team! As long as you’re willing to help, after the mission is completed, all the rewards will be split in half!”
Divide in half.
These three words, spoken by Hell Blowing Snow, carried immense weight. This meant she was willing to forgo the lion’s share of the profits, her due as the mission initiator and team leader, simply to secure Lin Yu’s assistance. This was both her absolute recognition of Lin Yu’s strength and her current helplessness and determination.
Lin Yu looked at her.
Fubuki’s eyes were complex, filled with ambition, anxiety, unwillingness, and a hint of a desperate gamble. She wanted to use this Dragon-level mission to instantly elevate her rank and influence within the Hero Association, completely escaping the shadow cast by her sister, “Trembling Tornado.” But she also knew that with her and her team’s strength, challenging a Dragon-level disaster would be like trying to hit a rock with an egg.
So, here she comes.
He had no interest in saving the world. But money was the most practical thing in the world. It could buy him a more comfortable environment for cultivation, buy him all kinds of delicious food, and save him from a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Chapter 34: Reward: I get seven, you get three! (Old version)
“Mission location, target information.”
Lin Yu asked directly without any extra nonsense.
Hearing this, Fubuki’s heart finally settled down. She breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile of triumph on her face, though it was tinged with a hint of pain.
“I knew you wouldn’t refuse!” She pulled a tablet from her pocket and called up the mission briefing. “The location is the ruins of the Seventh Biological Research Institute on the outskirts of City Z. The target is codenamed Gaia Seed.”
“An abnormal life form. According to preliminary detection, it is a rapidly proliferating combination of plants and fungi, and… it possesses extremely strong mental interference capabilities, capable of polluting the mind and creating hallucinations.”
She looked up at Lin Yu and added, “My telekinesis will be restrained by it to a certain extent. This is the most troublesome part.”
Mental interference?
Lin Yu’s interest was piqued a little. For the divine chakra, the so-called mental attack was just another form of energy invasion.
“Okay.” Lin Yu nodded, then stretched out a finger, “But my conditions need to be changed.”
Fubuki’s smile froze: “What?”
“The reward is seven for me and three for you.” Lin Yu’s tone was as calm as if he was saying that the weather was nice today. “Besides, I am not responsible for saving your team members. If they die because of their own stupidity, it has nothing to do with me.”
Fubuki’s expression instantly turned grim. She bit her lip. This condition was even more demanding than she had expected. This was no longer a partnership; it was practically employment. And the price was ridiculously high.
She looked at Lin Yu’s emotionless golden eyes. There was no greed in them, only pure and self-evident statements. It was as if in his eyes, his value was worth this price.
There was silence for about ten seconds.
Fubuki was torn between her conscience and her own desires. Her mind told her this was simply taking advantage of someone’s misfortune. But her ambition and thirst for success were clamoring for her to agree. If she missed this opportunity, she didn’t know when the next Dragon-level mission would be.
Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and squeezed out two words from between her teeth.
“……make a deal.”
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
“Get ready, we’ll leave in ten minutes.”
After saying that, he closed the door, leaving Fubuki alone outside, her fists clenched with a complicated expression. She felt like she had made a deal with the devil, but for the glory she had longed for, she was willing to do it.
Inside the door, Lin Yu had already begun to think about how to spend this huge sum of money after receiving it.
As for the “Seed of Gaia”, it is just a stepping stone on the road to financial freedom.
On the outskirts of City Z, the ruins of the Seventh Biological Research Institute look like the skeleton of a giant steel beast crawling on the ground.
The air was filled with a strange smell of rust, rotting plants, and chemicals. The dilapidated buildings were covered with dark green vines and huge, colorful mushrooms. The place that once symbolized the crystallization of human wisdom was now a hotbed for some unknown life form.
The members of the Fubuki Group nervously established a cordon around the ruins. They were all elite B-rank heroes, but faced with the bizarre scene before them and the glaring “Dragon” level estimate in the mission briefing, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
“Chief, the energy detector shows that the intensity of the life signal in the center of the ruins is still rising and has exceeded the upper limit of what the instrument can measure!” A team member holding the detector reported to Fubuki in a trembling voice.
Fubuki’s face was grim. She could sense an invisible, sticky mental pressure spreading from the depths of the ruins, like a vast net, trying to penetrate everyone’s mind. Her telekinetic barrier was operating at full capacity, barely keeping the influence at bay.
“Everyone, stay focused and don’t be misled by illusions!” Fubuki gave a loud order, trying to stabilize the morale of the army.
Just then, a leisurely voice came from behind her.
“Your men are too mentally weak. Bringing them in would only give that creature more food.”
Chuixue turned around and saw Lin Yu with his hands in his pockets, looking at the ruins in front of him as if he was strolling in a park. He was wearing simple casual clothes, which was out of tune with the tense and solemn atmosphere around him.
Fubuki raised her eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy: “They are my team members, my companions!”
“Oh.” Lin Yu responded noncommittally, then pointed to the depths of the ruins. “The core of that thing should be in the main laboratory building. Its mental network has covered the entire area. What you feel now is only the aftermath of the outermost periphery. The deeper you go, the intensity of the mental pollution will increase exponentially. With their mental toughness, within a hundred meters, they will become idiots who can only drool, or madmen who kill each other.”
His words were cold and direct, like a scalpel, cutting open the beautiful vision that Fubuki had woven with “companions” and “team”, revealing the cruel reality.
The members of the Fubuki Group turned pale when they heard this, and looked at the ruins with eyes full of fear.
Chuixue gritted her teeth. She knew that what Lin Yu said was true, but she couldn’t admit it in front of her men. She said firmly, “I will protect them!”
“It’s up to you.” Lin Yu shrugged. “However, according to the agreement, I am only responsible for solving the target. If something goes wrong with your people and the mission fails, I will not take a penny less in reward.”
“You!” Chuixue’s chest heaved with anger. This man talked about money every other sentence.
But she ultimately made a rational decision. She turned and ordered her team members, “Mountain Ape, Eyelash, lead the others to hold the perimeter and establish a second line of defense to prevent anything from escaping! Without my order, absolutely no one is allowed to step into the ruins!”
“Yes, Chief!” Although they were somewhat unwilling, the team members also understood that this was the best arrangement and responded in unison.
After arranging everything, Chuixue took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yu: “Let’s go.”
The two walked one after the other into this forbidden land of death named “Gaia Garden”.
As soon as I stepped into the ruins, the surrounding landscape seemed to distort instantly. The smell of decay in the air became stronger, and the colorful mushrooms seemed to glow faintly, emitting a sweet aroma.
“Be careful, the hallucination is coming.” Chuixue warned, and at the same time shrank the telekinetic barrier to cover only himself and Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu seemed to be unaware of it and continued to stroll leisurely in the garden.
“This level of mental pollution can’t even make my brain itch,” he said lightly.
His divine chakra circulates autonomously within his body. Any external energy that attempts to invade his spiritual world will be directly purified and evaporated by the power of a higher dimension the moment it touches his body, without even a ripple being created.
When Fubuki heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. This guy’s confidence, or arrogance, really made her angry.
Chapter 35: Final payment, remember to pay it! (Old version)
Zongman chat group: The tornado is broken! : The final payment of Chapter 35, remember to pay it! Picture and text
But soon, she no longer had time to care about these things.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery began to become bizarre. The hard cement on the ground turned into a soft carpet of flesh and blood, and human faces grew on the walls, silently wailing at them. She even saw her sister, Longjuan, appear in front of her, looking at her with contempt, mocking her for being a burden who would never grow up.
“A mere trifle!” Chuixue snorted coldly, and her telekinesis instantly exploded, shattering the illusion in front of her.
But as soon as the illusion shattered, it would immediately regenerate, endlessly, as if to drain her mental strength alive. Her forehead was already sweating, and her breathing became a little rapid.
Lin Yu, from beginning to end, acted as if nothing had happened. He even stopped with interest and poked a tentacle made of vines sticking out of the wall.
“Its energy structure is very strange, somewhere between plants and animals. It feeds on mental energy and can also simulate the host’s memories to create illusions. If we capture it and study it, we might be able to develop some very interesting illusion potions.” He touched his chin and commented seriously.
Fubuki’s eyelids were twitching. Is this guy here to carry out a mission or to do scientific research?
“Stop playing! Find the core quickly!” she urged.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Lin Yu glanced at her. “Let it try all its tricks, then we can know where its limit is. Look, it’s already getting anxious.”
As soon as the words fell, the entire ruins shook violently.
The ground cracked open, and dozens of dark green vines, as thick as giant pythons, burst out of the ground. With sharp crackling sounds, they whipped towards the two from all directions. Each vine was covered with barbs and slime, emitting a fishy stench.
Fubuki cried out, thrusting her hands outwards. The powerful telekinesis formed a visible tornado, engulfing and shredding the incoming vines. Green juice and broken vines splattered everywhere.
However, these vines seemed endless. The moment they were torn apart, more vines emerged from the ground, and the attack was even more fierce than before.
Fubuki’s telekinesis was depleted, and her face gradually turned pale. She could feel the power of mental pollution seeping through her defenses bit by bit as her mental power was depleted.
Just when she was about to collapse, Lin Yu finally moved.
He did not make any exaggerated movements, but slowly raised his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and gently stroked the wildly dancing sea of vines in front of him.
A golden thread, so thin that it was almost invisible, burst out from his fingertips.
There was no sound, no light effects, and no earth-shattering momentum.
The golden thread seemed to ignore distance and space and flashed by.
The next second, an incredible scene happened.
All the vines that were frantically attacking, whether thick or thin, whether close at hand or a hundred meters away, were simultaneously severed in the middle. The cuts were as smooth as mirrors, as if cut by the sharpest laser.
Thousands of vines broke in two at the same moment, then fell limply to the ground, twisting wildly for a few times before stopping.
The whole world is quiet.
Fubuki maintained the posture of activating telekinesis, staring at the scene in front of her in amazement. She didn’t even see what Lin Yu did, and the battle was over.
That is not a confrontation of strength, nor a collision of energy.
That is a kind of… judgment of laws at a higher level.
“Let’s go, we found it.” Lin Yu withdrew his hand, still with that calm expression, as if he had just flicked away a fly.
He walked towards the main laboratory building.
Chuixue followed him stiffly, her mind blank. For the first time, she realized so clearly that the gap between herself and Lin Yu was probably countless times greater than the gap between her and her sister. It was no longer a simple difference in strength, but a chasm in the level of life.
The two walked into the lobby of the main laboratory building.
In the center of the hall, a massive flower bud, beating like a heart, took root. Countless vines and mycelium extended from its roots, connecting the entire ruins. This was the core of the “Seed of Gaia.”
The bud sensed their arrival and suddenly opened. Instead of a pistil, it revealed a face resembling a human baby, filled with utter terror.
It’s afraid.
It could feel that the blond man in front of it contained a terrifying power that was enough to completely wipe it out from the existence.
“Mercy…”
It tried to send out spiritual waves begging for mercy.
But Lin Yu did not give it this opportunity.
“It’s so ugly.”
He commented, then raised his foot and gently stepped on the huge flower bud.
No techniques used, just pure strength.
An invisible, overwhelming force erupted from the soles of his feet. The entire main laboratory building, along with the foundation dozens of meters below, was instantly reduced to dust. The enormous flower bud, along with the terrified baby’s face, was instantly crushed into the most basic particles, completely vanishing from this world.
When the smoke and dust cleared, only a huge deep pit with a diameter of more than 50 meters remained.
The sun shone again, dispelling the haze in the area.
Chuixue stood on the edge of the deep pit, looking at the bottomless pit under his feet, then looked at Lin Yu who patted the dust off his trouser legs. His throat was dry and he couldn’t say a word.
This is… a dragon-level disaster?
Just… one kick?
Lin Yu turned around, stretched out his hand to her, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
“Mission accomplished. Remember to settle the balance. 70%, not a cent less.”
Fubuki: “…”
At this moment, a voice full of oppression and fanatical fighting spirit sounded from the shadow of the ruins not far away.
“It was… a truly wonderful performance.”
They both turned their heads to look at the same time.
A man in a black bodysuit, with silver-white hair sticking up from his head and eyes as fierce and sharp as a hungry wolf, slowly emerged from the shadows. He exuded an aura of pure martial arts that seemed out of place in this ruined place.
“Heroic Hunter…Garowle!” Fubuki’s pupils suddenly shrank and she immediately took a defensive stance.
The hungry wolf didn’t look at her. His eyes were fixed on Lin Yu. There was no hostility in his eyes. Instead, it was filled with… a kind of excitement and enthusiasm of finding a fellow human being.
“Dr. Kinos really didn’t lie to me. If I follow Hell Blowing Snow, I can really find you.”
The hungry wolf opened his mouth and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Lin Yu. The aura of ‘disaster’ on you is much more delicious than those so-called dragon-level monsters!”
The appearance of the hungry wolf made the atmosphere, which had just calmed down, tense again.
He was like a predator lurking in the shadows, finally waiting for the moment when its prey was most relaxed, and then baring its fangs. But the aura around him was also very strange, with the brutality of a weirdo, but also the purity of a martial artist.
Chapter 36: The Hungry Wolf Becomes More and More Frightened as He Fights! (Old Version)
“Hero Hunter?” Lin Yu looked him up and down, his eyes scrutinizing him, as if he was assessing the value of an item. “Looking for me? For an autograph?”
This sudden question, tinged with a hint of joking, instantly brought the already tense atmosphere to a standstill.
Fubuki almost lost her balance. She stared at Garou nervously, afraid that this dangerous man, who even S-class heroes found troublesome, would be angered. However, Lin Yu seemed to take the threat of the other party completely unfazed.
The hungry wolf was also stunned for a moment, and then he let out a low laugh, which was full of undisguised admiration.
“Hahaha… Interesting, really interesting! You’re the first person to pull a joke like that in front of me.” He moved his neck, making a clicking sound. “I’m not here for an autograph, I’m here… to confirm something.”
“Are you sure you are better than me?” Lin Yu continued.
“No.” Garou shook his head, his eyes becoming extremely serious, even holding a hint of fanatical inquiry. “I’m here to confirm whether you are the being I’ve been searching for, the one who can bring about ‘absolute evil’.”
“Absolute evil?” Fubuki frowned. She couldn’t understand what Garou was talking about.
Hungry Wolf ignored her, his entire attention focused on Lin Yu. He could sense that the man before him was completely different from all the heroes and weirdos he had encountered before. Those people, whether strong or weak, were all within the same “rules.” Lin Yu, on the other hand, stood outside of these rules.
“This world is so unfair.” Hungry Wolf began to talk to himself, as if he was explaining his own philosophy, but also as if he was inviting Lin Yu. “The so-called ‘justice’ is nothing more than the tyranny of the majority over the minority. The heroes are high above, deciding who is good and who is bad. What they protect is just this hypocritical and unequal order.”
There was a deep-seated resentment in his voice that came from his childhood experiences.
“So, I need to become a ‘weirdo,’ become ‘evil.’ When ‘evil’ is strong enough to threaten everyone, whether heroes or civilians, strong or weak, when everyone is shrouded in the same fear, this world… can usher in true ‘equality’!”
“I call this ideal the ‘equality of evil.'”
He looked at Lin Yu with a scorching gaze: “I hunt heroes to make myself stronger, to become the ‘god-level disaster’ that enforces ‘equality’. But I saw you. The kick you just made destroyed not only that weirdo, but also a kind of ‘possibility’. That kind of power does not belong to heroes, nor to weirdos. It is a kind of…pure, absolute ‘disaster’ itself.”
“So, I came to you.” Garou opened his arms, as if embracing his ideal. “Come with me, Lin Yu! Together, let us become the ‘absolute evil’ of this world, overthrow this ridiculous heroic game, and create a new world of true equality!”
His words were full of incitement and painted a grand and crazy blueprint.
Fubuki was horrified when she heard this. She couldn’t understand Garou’s logic at all. In her opinion, this was simply the talk of an antisocial lunatic. She immediately shouted at Lin Yu, “Don’t listen to his nonsense! He’s just a lunatic who wants to destroy the world!”
However, Lin Yu’s reaction once again exceeded everyone’s expectations.
He neither agreed nor refuted, but just looked at the hungry wolf as if he was looking at a child, and then shook his head gently.
“Your idea is very naive.”
These five simple words are more lethal than any fierce rebuttal.
The enthusiastic smile on Hungry Wolf’s face froze. “What did you say?”
“I say, your ‘equality of evil’ and the ‘heroic justice’ you hate are essentially the same.” Lin Yu’s tone remained calm, but every word was heartbreaking. “You both want to build your own ‘ideal world’ and impose your own ‘rules’ on everyone. The hero uses ‘protection’ as an excuse, and you use ‘equality’ as an excuse. In the final analysis, it’s just children playing house, arguing about whose sand castle is the prettiest.”
He paused, his golden eyes sweeping over the hungry wolf and then over the stunned Fubuki.
“What you call justice, evil, order, chaos… in my opinion, they are all just cages of different shapes. And I,” Lin Yu said with a mocking arc on his lips, “have no interest in getting into any cage. Of course, I have no interest in painstakingly building a new cage for others.”
These words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring over the hungry wolf’s frenzy from head to toe.
The lofty ideals that he was proud of and had been fighting for until now, in the other party’s mouth, turned out to be “children playing house”?
“You… are insulting my ideals!” Garou’s eyes instantly turned cold and dangerous, and the pure martial arts aura in his body began to boil, turning into tangible murderous intent.
“Ideal?” Lin Yu chuckled. “Packaging your own paranoia and delusions to sound better is called ideal? What you pursue is not equality, but replacing one kind of ‘injustice’ that you agree with with another kind of ‘injustice’ that you don’t agree with. The truly strong transcend the rules, not make them.”
“Looks like words alone won’t cut it.” Garou lowered his body slightly, adopting a Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist stance. However, his moves incorporated various techniques learned from other martial artists, making them even more bizarre and deadly. “Since you’re unwilling to become my companion, I can only… nip this most unstable ‘disaster’ in the bud!”
Before he finished speaking, the hungry wolf moved!
His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the next second, he appeared at the side of Lin Yu. His attack was like a violent storm, and every punch and kick, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, accurately attacked the vital points of Lin Yu’s body.
This is the most advanced human combat technique he has honed through hundreds of battles!
Fubuki’s heart was in her throat. She couldn’t even catch the hungry wolf’s entire movement with her naked eyes. She could only see a blurry afterimage.
However, facing this violent attack, Lin Yu’s reaction was extremely simple.
He didn’t even move his feet.
He simply raised his left hand.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A series of crisp sounds like metal clashing rang out.
The hungry wolf’s fists were strong enough to penetrate steel plates, and his feet were strong enough to kick concrete. Every time he struck out, Lin Yu blocked it lightly with just one finger.
That’s right, just one finger.
Lin Yu’s index finger was like the most indestructible divine weapon. Every time it pointed out, it accurately intercepted the hungry wolf’s attack route. No matter how tricky or swift the hungry wolf’s attack was, it could not break through the defense of this finger.
The hungry wolf became more and more frightened as the fight went on.
His attack seemed to be completely seen through by the opponent. No, not seen through, but a kind of higher-dimensional prediction. The opponent seemed to have known all his movements and changes before he launched a move.
What frightened him even more was the force coming from the opponent’s fingertips. It wasn’t brute force, but a strange, gentle force that could instantly dissolve all his strength. His attack was like a drop in the ocean, causing no ripples.
Chapter 37: I am the Greatest Inequality (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: The Tornado is Broken! : Chapter 37 I am the Greatest Inequality
Lin Yu’s voice reached the hungry wolf’s ears clearly.
“The use of strength is too crude.”
“Is this the extent of the so-called martial arts?”
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hungry wolf’s self-esteem hard.
“Stop looking down on me!” The hungry wolf roared, his muscles bulged, his strength and speed increased again. He used his best skill, and his palms turned into countless phantoms, like huge waves, trying to swallow Lin Yu completely.
“Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, Crossfang Dragon Killing Fist!”
This is the most powerful killer move he created after combining the unique skills of the two masters Bang and Bang!
Facing this devastating blow, Lin Yu finally stopped using just one finger.
He raised his eyelids, and a hint of… impatience flashed in his golden eyes.
He stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and gently clenched them towards the incoming palm shadow.
The space seemed to freeze at this moment.
Hungry Wolf’s frenzied attack came to an abrupt halt. He maintained his attack stance, only to find he couldn’t even move a finger. An invisible force, like a transparent cage, held him in place.
He could feel the energy draining from his body, his muscles groaning, his bones groaning. That force was disintegrating his existence at the molecular level.
“Is this… the gap?” For the first time, horror and… despair appeared in Hungry Wolf’s eyes.
The martial arts he was proud of, the strength he gained by constantly surpassing his limits, were as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this man.
Lin Yu walked slowly in front of him and looked down at him, his eyes as indifferent as if he was looking at an ant.
“Remember, Garou. Your so-called ‘equality of evil’ is worthless in my eyes. This is because there has never been equality in this world. And I am the greatest ‘inequality’.”
After saying this, he gently loosened his clenched fist.
The power that had been restraining Hungry Wolf vanished in an instant. Hungry Wolf collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, gasping for breath, his body drenched in cold sweat. He wasn’t injured, but his spirit and will had suffered an unprecedented blow.
Lin Yu didn’t look at him again, turned around and walked in front of Chuixue who was still in a daze.
“Let’s go and get the money.”
“Ah? Oh…” Fubuki woke up from her dream and followed him subconsciously. She turned to look at Garou, who was lying on the ground. The man who had caused so much trouble for the entire Hero Association looked so… pitiful.
Hungry Wolf struggled to raise his head and looked at the backs of Lin Yu and Chui Xue as they left. In his eyes, fear, unwillingness, confusion, and a hint of even more fiery fanaticism were intertwined.
The shame of failure did not break him, but instead ignited a deeper fire in his heart.
“Absolute…inequality…” he muttered to himself, and then let out a low and crazy laugh.
“Hahaha…hahahaha! I see…I see! The ‘God-level disaster’ I’m pursuing isn’t for myself…but to…surpass you, Lin Yu!”
He found a new goal, one that was bigger and more desperate than overthrowing the Hero Association.
The Hero Association headquarters, a magnificent structure rising from the heart of City A, stands as a symbol of power and order. Its metal and glass exterior reflects a cold, rational light in the sunlight, but the interior is a different story. Heroes of all ranks rush about, and the air is thick with the scent of sweat, disinfectant, and the faint scent of energy particles.
Lin Yu and Fubuki walked side by side on the marble floor, polished to the point of reflecting their own reflections. The surrounding heroes cast all kinds of glances at them. Some were curious, some were scrutinizing, and some B-rank heroes subconsciously felt nervous when they saw Fubuki. The reputation of the “Fubuki Group” was well-known among the B-rank heroes.
“This is it.” Fubuki stopped in front of a metal door marked “Disaster Assessment and Merit Verification Department”. She adjusted her black coat, as if trying to make herself look more imposing.
Lin Yu seemed much more casual, his hands in his pockets, his eyes sweeping over the high-tech equipment and hurried staff around him, as if he were visiting a large science and technology exhibition hall. He was not impressed by the atmosphere here. In his view, the profession of hero was essentially a job, but the risks and rewards were more extreme.
Pushing open the door, they were greeted by a vast office surrounded by data screens. Dozens of staff members bustled about in their cubicles, the clacking of keyboards and the hum of electronic alerts echoing. A meticulous, middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses greeted them.
“Ms. Hell Fubuki, ranked 1st in Class B. And… um, Mr. Lin Yu, ranked 77th in Class B.” The man pushed up his glasses, his gaze lingering on the two for a moment before finally settling on Fubuki. “I heard you have some significant achievements to report?”
His tone was flat, even tinged with a hint of formulaic skepticism. After all, there were many heroes who came here every day claiming to have solved major problems, and many of them were exaggerating.
Fubuki was clearly accustomed to this attitude. She placed a specially crafted metal box on the man’s desk with a dull thud. “The ruins of the ‘Seventh Biological Research Institute’ on the outskirts of City Z, a disaster level ‘Dragon’, codenamed ‘Seed of Gaia’, have been resolved by us.”
The office fell silent for a moment; even the distant clacking of keyboards seemed to pause for half a second. The employees in the surrounding cubicles all raised their heads, their gazes fixed on this spot.
The calmness on the middle-aged man’s face finally broke. His fingers, resting on his glasses, paused for a moment, his eyes sharpening. “Dragon-level? Miss Fubuki, do you understand the consequences of lying about your disaster level and achievements?”
“Of course I know.” Fubuki raised her chin slightly, and confidence returned to her face, “But we never lie.”
The man turned his gaze to Lin Yu, as if seeking confirmation. Lin Yu just shrugged, took out a small device like a USB flash drive from his pocket, and plugged it into the port on the desk.
“This is a record of the on-site environmental energy readings and a high-definition structural scan of the monster’s core tissue sample. I believe that the association’s database has an estimated model of the energy characteristics of the ‘Seed of Gaia’. You can compare it.” Lin Yu’s tone was as if he was introducing a new product. “Oh, by the way, the box contains its core fragments. I have suppressed its energy activity, but it is best to let a professional operate it when unpacking. I can’t guarantee that it will not bring you a little surprise.”
His words were clear, calm, and full of unquestionable professionalism, which made the middle-aged man completely put away his contempt. He immediately put on the communication headset and reported to his superiors in a low voice, his eyes scanning back and forth between Lin Yu and Chuixue, full of shock and disbelief.
A B-ranked 1st, a B-ranked bottom, defeated a Dragon-rank monster? This sounds like a fantasy.
Soon, several experts in white research coats and a cadre who looked higher in rank arrived. They carefully moved the metal box to a special analysis room, and the data from the USB flash drive provided by Lin Yu was also imported into the association’s mainframe.
Chapter 38 He is my companion! (Old version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornado is Split! : Chapter 38 He is my companion!
The wait wasn’t long, but for Fubuki, every second felt like torture. This wasn’t just about the bounty; it was about her dignity, about whether she could truly escape the shadow that had always hung over her head. She clenched her fists, her palms slightly sweating, but she maintained a proud demeanor.
Lin Yu found an empty seat and sat down, even watching the heroic news scrolling on the screen on the wall with great interest, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He only cared about the final number that arrived.
About half an hour later, the senior official came back with a serious face. The experts behind him looked as if they had seen a ghost. They were whispering to each other and discussing something excitedly.
“Unbelievable…” The cadre walked up to the two of them. He looked at Lin Yu as if he was looking at a monster. “The data is completely consistent, and the energy reaction of the core fragments also confirms that you have indeed destroyed the ‘Seed of Gaia’. Disaster level ‘Dragon’, confirmed.”
The whole office was filled with gasps of air.
“According to the association’s charter,” the cadre cleared his throat and announced in a resounding voice, “Hell SnowBlizzard, as one of the main contributors, and having demonstrated leadership and decisiveness far beyond B-rank in action, has been exceptionally promoted to A-rank hero, initially ranked 38th, following an emergency meeting of the committee!”
Fubuki’s body trembled violently, and she could hardly believe her ears. A-rank… the rank she’d always dreamed of, finally… finally reached! A surge of joy and excitement washed over her, and her eyes grew hot, but she forced herself to hold it back. She straightened her back, a bright, proud smile on her face.
“So, what about him?” Chuixue turned her gaze to Lin Yu.
The cadre’s expression became a little strange. He looked at Lin Yu’s information, then looked at him himself, and said thoughtfully: “Mr. Lin Yu… your contribution is equally huge, and even played a decisive role in key technical aspects. Considering your current level… the committee has decided to raise your ranking from 77th in Class B to 9th in Class B.”
Soaring directly from the bottom of B-class to the top ten was considered a rocket ride for a B-class hero. However, this result made Chui Xue frown. In her opinion, Lin Yu’s contribution was even greater than hers, so giving him only a top ten B-class was too…
“I have no objection.” Lin Yu interrupted her thoughts. He stood up and looked at the cadres. “Ranking doesn’t matter. When will the bounty be paid?”
The officer was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, “The bounty for subduing a Dragon-level monster is enormous, and it requires financial processing, but it will be deposited into your accounts by the end of today at the latest. According to the contribution distribution agreement you submitted, it’s 70% to 30%, correct?”
“That’s right.” Lin Yu nodded, looking satisfied. To him, false reputation is far less important than tangible benefits.
“Okay, the formalities are done, let’s go.” After getting the confirmation, Lin Yu turned around and was about to leave.
Blowing Snow suppressed her excitement and a hint of injustice for Lin Yu and followed. The moment she walked out of the office door, she felt that the sun in the whole world was much brighter. She was no longer the top B-rank hero who could only struggle under the halo of her sister. She was now an A-rank hero, Hell Blowing Snow!
Just as the two, each with their own differing feelings, were about to leave the association hall, a suffocating feeling of oppression suddenly descended from the front. The air in the entire hall seemed to freeze instantly, the previously noisy voices abruptly stopped, and everyone froze in place, their faces filled with awe and fear.
A petite figure was suspended in mid-air, with a green halo of superpowers surrounding her, like a god.
“Fubuki.”
The cold and familiar voice instantly froze the confidence and joy that Fubuki had just built up.
Tornado.
These two words themselves represent absolute power and authority in the Hero Association. When she appears, everything around her seems to lose its color, leaving only her iconic green halo and an overwhelming sense of oppression.
She slowly descended, her curly green hair gently swaying with the movement of her body. Her gaze was like two sharp icicles, piercing straight at Fubuki, past all the stunned heroes. Then, her gaze paused on Lin Yu, who was beside Fubuki, and her brows furrowed slightly.
“You’ve grown so capable that you actually dare to come to the headquarters. What’s the matter? Are you tired of being the number one in Class B and want to find a new place to form your small group?” Tornado’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in every corner of the hall, with undisguised sarcasm and harshness.
Fubuki’s face paled instantly. The back she had straightened up just now due to her promotion to A-rank, now slumped uncontrollably in front of her sister. This was a conditioned reflex ingrained in her bones, accumulated over the years.
“Sister…I…” She opened her mouth, but found her voice a little dry.
“Sister?” Tornado sneered. Her eyes stayed on Lin Yu for two more seconds, as if evaluating an insignificant item. “Who is this man next to you? Your new bodyguard? He doesn’t look that good. A B-level guy can make you feel so safe?”
The surrounding heroes dared not utter a word. The second-ranked S-ranker, “Tornado of Thrill,” was scolding his sister. This was top-tier gossip, but no one dared to watch openly. They could only peek out of the corner of their eyes, fearing they would be affected by the terrifying superpower.
Lin Yu observed this legendary psychic with great interest. She was indeed small, but the energy contained within her was as vast as a walking nuclear reactor. That mental force field radiated outwards constantly, distorting light and air. An ordinary person would probably go insane just standing there.
“Sister! He’s not my bodyguard!” Fubuki finally mustered up some courage and retorted loudly, “He’s my companion! We just…defeated a Dragon-level monster together!”
She almost shouted these words, with a hint of grievance and pride in her eagerness to prove herself.
However, this sentence was met with an even more disdainful sneer from Tornado.
“Dragon-level? Just you two?” Tornado looked up and down at Fubuki as if she had just heard the funniest joke of the century. “Were you lucky enough to pick up the monster’s corpse, or did this B-level guy drag you out of its mouth? Fubuki, how many times have I told you not to do things beyond your ability? Do you think being a hero is just playing house?”
Every word was like a needle, piercing Fubuki’s most vulnerable nerves. Her face turned from pale to red, then from red to blue, and her clenched fists trembled slightly from the force. She wanted to refute, to throw her newly acquired A-rank hero certificate in her sister’s face, but the fear and oppression from her childhood made it almost impossible for her to move.
Just then, a calm voice interrupted.
“She didn’t lie.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the source of the sound – Lin Yu. There was no fear on his face, and he even had a faint smile, as if the S-class hero in front of him who could easily overturn an entire city was just a noisy girl next door.
Chapter 39 This B-Class Hero is Absolutely Crazy! (Old Version)
Anime chat group: The tornado is broken! : Chapter 39 This B-class hero is absolutely crazy!
Tornado’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and a tangible pressure instantly enveloped Lin Yu. “B-rank trash, do you have the right to speak here?”
The terrifying mental pressure swept over like a tsunami, enough to make even an A-rank hero’s legs weaken and his spirit collapse. However, Lin Yu stood like a reef in the raging waves, motionless. He even had the leisure to adjust his collar.
“Whether I have a say or not is not up to you.” Lin Yu’s smile remained unchanged. “But I did see some interesting things.”
“Oh?” Tornado raised her eyebrows higher. She seemed to be a little interested in the courage of this B-class hero, or rather, it was a joke before the massacre.
“You look very angry. You say you disdain her and mock her for not knowing her own limitations.” Lin Yu’s eyes moved between Tornado and Blowing Snow, his tone as relaxed as if he was chatting about family matters. “But in fact, the reason you appeared here is probably because you heard that she had taken on a difficult task. You were worried and came here to check on the situation, right?”
Tornado’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Lin Yu didn’t stop and continued, “You are full of hostility and scrutiny towards her so-called ‘companion’, that is, me. It’s not because you look down on B-level, but because you are worried that she will be exploited or deceived by bad people. You use the harshest words to attack her, not because you really think she is useless, but because you want to use this method to force her to stay in the safe zone and not face the dangers that you think she can’t bear.”
His voice was clear and logical, and every word was like a precisely thrown stone, causing ripples on the seemingly calm lake of Longjuan’s heart.
“To sum up,” Lin Yu spread his hands, a knowing smile on his face, “the so-called ‘Trembling Tornado’ is actually just a sister who is a little bit arrogant and not good at expressing her concern. She says the most cruel words, but in her heart she cares about her sister’s safety more than anyone else. This kind of strict requirement with a double-edged sword is essentially nothing more than an extremely distorted desire for protection. Am I right, Miss Tornado?”
The entire Hero Association hall was dead silent.
Everyone looked at Lin Yu in amazement as if they were cast into petrification.
Crazy! This B-class hero is absolutely insane! Not only did he dare to talk back to Tornado, he even dared to dissect her mind in public! Wasn’t his death fast enough?
Chuixue was also completely stunned. She opened her mouth and looked at Lin Yu in shock, then looked at her sister’s reaction. Lin Yu’s words were like a flash of lightning that split the fog in her heart for a long time. Sister… is it really like this? Behind those harsh words, there was actually such concern? She had never thought about it from this perspective.
And the center of the incident, Tornado, whose face always showed arrogance and indifference, showed a panic expression for the first time.
The green halo around her suddenly exploded like a flame out of control. The air around her began to distort violently, and the metal decorations in the hall groaned under the heavy burden.
“You…what nonsense are you talking about!” For the first time, her voice trembled sharply. It was not anger, but more like the humiliation and anger after her secrets were exposed in public.
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know best in your heart.” Lin Yu’s eyes were calm and deep, as if he could see through everything. “A person’s energy fluctuations will not lie. When you mentioned the words ‘danger’ and ‘blowing snow’, your mental force field showed unusual and violent disturbances. That was not a fluctuation of murderous intent, but… anxiety and worry.”
“Shut up!”
Tornado screamed, and a powerful telekinesis, like an invisible hammer, smashed towards Lin Yu.
She was completely enraged.
The telekinetic hammer carried enough power to raze a building to the ground, creating visible distorted ripples in the air and rushing straight towards Lin Yu’s face. Chui Xue screamed in fear and subconsciously wanted to open a telekinetic barrier, but found that her power was as small as a candle in front of her sister’s devastating power.
However, the expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur.
Just when the invisible hammer was about to hit Lin Yu, he just took a small step to the side.
Such a simple step, yet it seemed as if he had stepped on some mysterious node. The violent telekinesis brushed past the edge of his clothes and slammed heavily into the wall behind him.
A resounding explosion shook the entire Hero Association headquarters. A massive dent was blasted into the wall, made of a special alloy capable of withstanding attacks from S-rank monsters, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outward.
The heroes in the hall were knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and screams and exclamations rang out one after another.
But everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lin Yu in the field.
He dodged?
He actually dodged Tornado’s attack? And in such a nonchalant, almost humiliating way?
Tornado was also stunned. She was absolutely confident in the accuracy of her power. Under her lock, no one could dodge, unless… the opponent’s speed exceeded the speed of her thoughts, or the opponent had predicted the trajectory of her attack in advance.
“Impossible…” she muttered to herself, her eyes full of disbelief.
Lin Yu patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders, the smile on his face was still relaxed, even with a hint of ridicule.
“Look, you’re getting mad, aren’t you?” He tutted. “Getting angry when someone hits you right isn’t the behavior of a mature adult. It’s just a child throwing a tantrum.”
“You’re looking for death!”
Tornado’s fury was ignited, and even more powerful telekinesis began to converge around her. A green light threatened to engulf the entire hall. The ceiling lights flickered and crackled, and the floor tiles were lifted by an invisible force. The air was filled with the pungent smell of ionization.
An S-class civil war that could destroy the hero headquarters is about to break out.
“Stop it!”
Several senior officials of the association also rushed out from the emergency passage, led by the senior official who had previously handled the procedures for Lin Yu and the others. When he saw the big hole in the wall and the two people who were on edge, his face turned green.
“Tornado! This is the association’s headquarters! What do you want to do?” the cadre shouted in a timid manner.
Tornado glanced at the executive, then at the panicked association staff, her seething rage forcibly suppressed. Unleashing all-out force at headquarters would have grave consequences.
But if she just lets it go like this, where will she put her face?
Her eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces with her eyes.
Lin Yu seemed not to see her murderous intention. Instead, he turned to the cadre and nodded politely.
He cast his gaze back at Tatsumaki, and this time, his tone softened. “Actually, your sister has grown up. She’s become an A-Class hero, with her own judgment and companions. You can’t protect her forever like a flower in a greenhouse; that will only cause her to wither. True strength is forged through the trials and tribulations of life.”
These words were like a stream of clear spring water, extinguishing the last flame in Tornado’s heart.
Chapter 40: Whoever breaks it must pay for it. It’s only natural! (Old Version)
She stared at Lin Yu blankly, then turned to look at her sister. Chuixue was standing there. Although there was still a hint of fear on her face, there was an unprecedented determination in her eyes. She was no longer the little girl who would only hide behind him and cry.
“Hmph…” Tornado snorted coldly, restraining his telekinesis. The pressure in the hall suddenly eased, and everyone gasped as if they had been pardoned.
She floated in the air and took a last deep look at Lin Yu. Her eyes were extremely complicated, with anger, unwillingness, surprise, and even a hint of hesitation that she herself had not noticed.
“Your name is Lin Yu, right? Rank 9th in B-Class… I’ll remember you.”
After saying this, she didn’t even look at Fubuki. She turned into a streak of green light, smashed a window, and disappeared into the sky.
The storm passed, leaving behind a mess and shock in the hall.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Yu, their expressions filled with awe, curiosity, and disbelief. This little-known B-class hero had become famous today at the Hero Association headquarters—although in a way no one had expected.
“Um… Mr. Lin Yu.” The association cadre came over, wiping the sweat from his forehead, with a look of confusion on his face. “Thank you… uh… for preventing the situation from getting worse. However, the cost of repairing the headquarters facilities…”
“Go find Tornado to claim reimbursement.” Lin Yu said calmly, “Whoever breaks it should pay for it. It’s only natural.”
The cadre was so choked that he was speechless and could only nod with a wry smile.
The storm subsided, and Lin Yu and Chui Xue walked out of the devastated Hero Association hall. The afternoon sun shone on their bodies, warm and cozy.
Fubuki remained silent, her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yu asked, “Are you scared by your sister?”
Chuixue suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Yu, with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes, which was a complex emotion mixed with shock, gratitude, confusion and admiration.
“How…how do you know all that?” She finally asked the biggest question in her mind, “About my sister…how do you know her better than I do?”
“Observe, analyze, and then draw conclusions.” Lin Yu’s answer was simple and direct. “People’s behavior always has motives. As long as you find the motive, you can understand the behavior. Although your sister’s behavior pattern is extreme, her motive is very simple, which is to protect you. It’s just that her strength is too strong and her expression is too clumsy, so it looks like she is bullying you.”
Chuixue listened in a daze. Lin Yu used a few words to untie the knot in her heart that had accumulated for more than ten years. Those words and deeds that she had always thought were disgust and contempt turned out to be such a clumsy care.
She suddenly felt a pang of pain in her nose, but quickly suppressed it. She took a deep breath and put on her signature Hell Blowing Snow smile again, but this time, it was filled with a sense of relief and ease that came from the heart.
“Hey, B-rank 9th.” She nudged Lin Yu lightly with her elbow. “I owe you a favor this time. But don’t think I’ll give you more of the bounty just because of this!”
“I didn’t expect it.” Lin Yu shrugged, checked the mobile banking information, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “Let’s go, A-level hero, to celebrate your promotion, I’ll treat you to a meal…no more than a thousand yuan.”
“Stingy!” Chuixue gave him a cold look, but followed him briskly.
In the sunlight, their shadows stretched out. After a storm, something seemed to have quietly changed. Fubuki looked at the mysterious and powerful man beside her and, for the first time, felt that perhaps catching up with her sister wasn’t such a distant dream.
Returning to the bachelor apartment that was a little too familiar, Lin Yu threw himself onto the sofa.
Unlike the tense atmosphere at the Hero Association headquarters, there is only peace here.
He casually turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the heroic deeds of a C-class hero who rescued a cat from a tree. The scrolling subtitles below were reporting the news that the S-class hero Tornado had destroyed a window of the Hero Association headquarters. The wording was extremely cautious, as if the window had been broken accidentally.
Lin Yu felt like laughing and turned off the TV.
He opened the group chat, and the atmosphere was as lively as ever.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Hahahaha! You didn’t see it! When my Mjolnir hit that Frost Giant leader’s face, it looked like a rotten blueberry! I will defend the glory of Asgard!
Angel Yan: @Thor, a god who’s lived for over a thousand years, still gloats about bullying primitive creatures of lower civilizations. Your growth seems to be primarily reflected in your muscular size.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: What did you say?! Yan! I’m defending the Nine Realms! This is a just battle!
Angel Yan: Oh? Really? I took a quick look with my Eye of Insight, and it seems your “just battle” has displeased your father, King Odin. He’s grounded you for three days, and you’re not allowed to drink a drop of alcohol.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: …
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: How did you know?! You were spying on me?!
Angel Yan: To higher-level life forms, your little issues are as clear as black spots on white paper. But that Uchiha brat, is he just daydreaming in the woods again today? Contemplating life, or cursing the world?
Lin Yu on the other side of the screen could imagine that Sasuke, who was far away in another world, must have a gloomy face at this moment.
Sure enough, a few seconds later.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: …boring.
The words are concise and full of the unique aloofness of the Uchiha family.
Lin Yu watched with great interest. This group of big men from different worlds, their daily routine was his best way to relieve stress. He was about to type a few jokes when an avatar that hadn’t appeared for a long time suddenly lit up.
That is a bold crescent-shaped mustache logo.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala… Young people are so energetic.
Whitebeard’s appearance instantly changed the atmosphere in the group. Thor stopped shouting, Yan also put away her sharp tongue, and even Sasuke seemed to have gained a hidden respect.
After all, this old man’s name is loud enough in any world – the strongest man in the world.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: How come you’re free today? Are you having another party on some island? Take me with you!
[Angel Yan]: Senior Whitebeard, how are you?
[Want to be a good father]: Ah, I’m not dead yet. It’s just… I ran into a little trouble.
Whitebeard’s tone was still heroic, but Lin Yu keenly sensed a hint of heaviness in it. This sea emperor, who treated all his crew members as family, never uttered the word “trouble” lightly. When he did utter it, it usually meant that a monstrous wave had already hit his bow.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: Trouble?
Even Sasuke couldn’t help but ask. Something that could trouble even Whitebeard must be something very serious.
Chapter 41: Planning and strategizing, winning a battle thousands of miles away! (Old version)
Zongman Chat Group: The Tornadoes Are Split! : Chapter 41: Planning and Strategizing, Winning Thousands of Miles Away!
The group was silent for a moment, waiting for Whitebeard’s next words.
[Want to be a good father]: The navy… dispatched thirty warships, an admiral-level fighter, and five vice admirals to surround an island under protection… Sphinx. That’s my hometown.
Gulp.
Lin Yu seemed to hear the sound of Thor swallowing his saliva.
Thirty warships, one admiral-level fighter, and five lieutenant generals. This was a top-tier configuration sufficient to launch the “Demon Slayer Order,” but its target was only an island.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Are these marines crazy?! Are they going to go to war with you?
Angel Yan: This situation is a bit tricky. Who is the enemy commander? An operation of this scale doesn’t seem to be a spur-of-the-moment operation.
[Want to be a good father]: He’s a lieutenant general named “Ghost Spider,” a subordinate of that bastard Akainu. But behind him… I’m afraid Sakaski’s influence is behind it. He wants to use my hometown to force me to leave the main channel of the New World.
Akainu.
The moment this name came out, the atmosphere in the group grew even more tense. Everyone had heard of the Admiral’s ruthlessness and cruelty.
[Want to be a good father]: My sons are already gathering, but it will take time. The navy is well prepared this time, blocking all shipping routes and using seastone and special formations to suppress our ability to quickly support. I could fight my way through alone, but the civilians on the island… they are innocent.
Whitebeard’s words were filled with a deep sense of helplessness. He could shatter islands, he could create tsunamis, but he couldn’t precisely annihilate a fully prepared naval fleet while protecting tens of thousands of civilians. His power was too great, too violent. If he unleashed it at full force, he would likely destroy the island along with it.
This was exactly Akainu’s plan. Using the smallest cost, he forced the strongest man into a dilemma.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. He leaned back on the sofa, his brain working at high speed, fragmenting all the information provided by Whitebeard, and then recombining it to construct a three-dimensional battlefield model.
The enemy, our side, terrain, advantages, disadvantages… countless variables were rapidly deduced in his mind.
And just as he was lost in thought, a cold, mechanically synthesized voice quietly sounded in his mind.
[Special mission now released: Strategizing.][Mission Objective: Without leaving this world, assist Whitebeard in lifting the siege of the “Sphinx” Island through remote command.][Mission Requirements: Sphinx Island civilian casualties must not exceed 100, and no core members of the Whitebeard Pirates must be killed.][Quest Reward: Unlock the special entry – “Heroic Haki (Beginner)”.]Domineering and powerful!
The “king’s qualities” that only appear once in a million people! An innate aura that transcends all others!
This mission itself is full of fatal temptations.
Plan carefully and win the battle from afar.
Isn’t this the best interpretation of his extraordinary wisdom?
In the group, Thor was still clamoring to cross over to help, Yan was calmly analyzing the weaknesses of the navy fleet, and Sasuke was silent, as if thinking of some extreme assassination plan that would kill with one strike.
They all have great power, so the first thing they think of is to use power to solve problems.
But Lin Yu saw another way.
He took a deep breath and slowly typed a line of words in the chat box.
The Lord: Whitebeard, don’t be impatient. Akainu wants to play tactical games with you, so let’s play along. Tell me the sea charts, current charts, weather conditions around Sphinx Island, and all the information you know about the enemy commander, Onigumo.
[That Lord]: War is more than just a clash of forces.
When this line of words appeared in the group, the noisy chat group instantly became quiet.
The chat group fell into an eerie silence.
Thor’s brain, which only knew how to speak with hammers, was unable to understand the meaning of Lin Yu’s words for a while. Isn’t war a collision of power? Whoever has the bigger fist has the truth.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Angel Yan’s beautiful eyes. For the first time, she looked directly at this mysterious man, who had always kept a low profile in the group, yet occasionally made surprising remarks. She could discern even lesser civilizations, but the depth of his thinking seemed beyond her normal scope. He was like a nebula shrouded in mist, indistinct.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was the one who reacted the most. His eyes changed as he watched Lin Yu’s words. He thought of Nara Shikamaru of Konoha, the man who always found troublesome, yet could manipulate his enemies with his shadow and mind. War is not just a clash of forces… These words touched upon his deep understanding of the power of “wisdom.”
The first to break the silence was Whitebeard.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! Interesting little devil! Okay, I’ll trust you just this once!
Accompanied by this hearty laugh, detailed charts and data were sent to the group. They were nautical charts drawn with the most primitive pen and paper, densely marked with reefs, whirlpools, and current directions. There were also weather records for the past month, and personal information on Vice Admiral Onigumo—a user of the Spider Fruit known for his cruelty and cunning, skilled in launching siege attacks with his eight swords.
These materials are like heavenly books to Thor, but to Lin Yu, they are a gold mine that has not yet been mined.
“Sure enough…” Lin Yu looked at the sea chart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The Sphinx Island’s topography is unique: like a nail, wedged in the center of a reef-ridden sea. Normal ships would avoid it, but the naval fleet took the opposite approach, using this dangerous area as a natural barrier to completely encircle the island. Their ships anchored in the safe waters just outside the reefs, forming a seemingly impenetrable perimeter.
“They thought they had the advantage of terrain.” Lin Yu muttered to himself.
[That adult]: Whitebeard, are you on the island or on the ship now?
[Wanting to be a good father]: From the highest point of the island, I can see the entire naval encirclement. My ship, the Moby Dick, is anchored in the island’s inner harbor.
The Lord: Very good. First, use your abilities to create a small-scale undersea earthquake in the waters east of the naval fleet, five kilometers away.
This instruction stunned everyone.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Earthquake? Why? Wouldn’t that alert the enemy? Why not just use your Tremor-Tremor Fruit and create a tsunami to sink them all?
That lord: That’s a brave act. Thor, if you were Spider-Man, wouldn’t you have anticipated Whitebeard’s ability to unleash a tsunami? They chose this location precisely because they knew Whitebeard, concerned for the civilians on the island, wouldn’t dare launch an indiscriminate, large-scale attack. All their defensive formations are designed to withstand a frontal assault.
Chapter 42 What’s in Your Head? (Old Version)
[Angel Yan]: Are you trying to…make a feint to the east and attack in the west?
The Lord: No, it’s a little more complicated than that. Trust me, and do as I say. It doesn’t need to be too loud, just create unusual waves in the water, enough so their ship feels the turbulence.
Whitebeard didn’t ask any more questions. He chose unconditional trust.
A moment later.
[Want to be a good father]: Okay. It’s done. There’s a little commotion in the navy, but nothing major. They seem to be treating it as normal crustal activity.
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes.
“Baited.”
Lin Yu: Step 2. Now go to the west side of the island, five kilometers from the fleet, and do it again. Just a little more intense than the last time.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Again? What on earth are you doing?
This time, even Lian Yan was a little confused. This kind of harmless harassment seemed to have no meaning other than draining Whitebeard’s energy.
But Whitebeard still did it.
In a distant world, on the seabed west of Sphinx Island, an invisible force suddenly erupted, stirring the deep sea water, forming an undercurrent that impacted the left wing of the naval fleet.
Ghost Spider stood on the deck of the flagship, feeling the ship’s swaying, his brow furrowed. “Another earthquake? Is the crust in this area so unstable?” his adjutant reported. “Lieutenant General, radar shows the earthquake’s source is five kilometers to the west, and the intensity is stronger than before. But it’s still within safe range.”
Ghost Spider snorted coldly, “What a trick! Is that old fellow Whitebeard trying to intimidate us this way? Pass the order, the entire fleet remains alert, and any ship that dares to approach will be killed without mercy!”
He thought he saw through Whitebeard’s “trick”.
And all this was within Lin Yu’s expectations.
The Lord: Very good. They’ve taken this as a demonstration against you. Now, the third and most crucial step.
Everyone in the group was nervous.
[The Lord]: Whitebeard, please return to the center of the island. This time, do not disturb the water. Transmit your vibrational force to the entire continental shelf beneath Sphinx Island in a continuous, steady, and increasing frequency.
This instruction completely overturned everyone’s cognition.
Instead of affecting the ocean water, they’re trying to vibrate the continental shelf? What kind of operation is this?
[Want to be a good father]: …Boy, you mean to make the whole island, including its foundation, shake together?
The man: That’s right. It’s not a violent vibration, but a high-frequency resonance. Like shaking a sieve. You are the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and you are an expert at controlling “frequency.”
Whitebeard’s breathing seemed to be audible even through the screen. He was silent for a long time, as if trying to understand Lin Yu’s incredible plan.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala… I think I understand your thoughts a little bit. What a crazy kid! Okay! Let me see what’s in your head!
After saying this, Whitebeard fell silent.
The chat group was completely silent. Thor, Yan, and Sasuke were all waiting. They didn’t know what would happen next, but an unprecedented sense of anticipation gripped everyone.
Sphinx Island.
Whitebeard stood on the mountaintop, his feet firmly planted on the rocks. He closed his eyes and pressed his hands together. An invisible wave emanated from his palms and sank into the ground beneath his feet.
At first, it was just a very slight tremor, like the heartbeat of a giant.
Gradually, the frequency of the vibrations began to increase.
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
The entire island, along with its submarine continental shelf stretching tens of kilometers in radius, began to resonate at an eerie, high-speed frequency. Islanders fled their homes in panic, only to discover that while the ground was shaking, their houses and trees remained intact, as if the entire world were on a massage chair.
And in the open sea, the nightmare of the naval fleet began.
Ghost Spider was the first to notice something was wrong.
“What’s going on?! The flow of the sea water is disrupted!” a navigator shouted in horror.
The once calm sea surface now seemed to be frantically stirred by countless invisible hands. The waters in the east surged westward, the waters in the west flowed northward, and the undercurrent in the south suddenly reversed… Countless ocean currents in different directions madly collided and tore at this sea area.
“Report to the Admiral! The ship is out of control! The steering is weakening!”
“Our formation has been disrupted! Ships three and five are about to collide!”
“Damn it! There are whirlpools underwater! Lots of whirlpools! Everywhere!”
Ghost Spider stared at the hellish scene before him with bloodshot eyes. The encirclement they were so proud of had now become a giant meat grinder. The reef area they relied on as a barrier had now become the most deadly death warrant.
He finally understood.
The two earthquakes Whitebeard had experienced before were not demonstrations at all.
That’s “calibration”!
He was testing the effects of vibrations at different locations on ocean currents!
And now, by vibrating the entire continental shelf, he had completely transformed this sea area into an uncontrollable chaotic force field! The sea no longer followed any rules, and ships here were like headless flies, pushed by the turbulent ocean currents and crashing into those deadly reefs!
“It’s Whitebeard! He did it!” Ghost Spider roared, “Quick! Attack that island! Fire!”
However, it was too late.
In the face of turbulent currents and whirlpools, aiming accurately was a luxury. Like drunkards, the massive warships wobbled and collided with each other, or were slammed into the jagged reefs by a sudden, immense force.
The wail of steel and the screams of soldiers echoed throughout this demonic sea.
Ghost Spider watched his fleet collapse in a way he could not understand, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He lost.
The defeat was inexplicable and complete.
He didn’t even see the enemy.
And in the chat group, Whitebeard’s voice sounded again, with a hint of unprecedented shock and pleasure.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! Kid! You did it! The navy’s fleet is finished!
[Ding! Mission “Strategic Planning” completed.][The reward “Entry: Conqueror’s Haki (Beginner)” has been issued.]Almost at the moment the system prompt sounded, Lin Yu’s body shook violently.
An indescribable feeling gushed out from the deepest part of his soul.
It wasn’t strength, it wasn’t energy, it was a kind of “will.” A kind of “qualification” to dominate the world, to look down upon all beings. His spiritual world seemed infinitely elevated. He could “see” every speck of dust in the room, “hear” the heartbeats of the pedestrians on the street below, and even “feel” that with just a thought, these mundane wills were subdued and trembled.
He slowly raised his hand and his eyes fell on a glass on the table.
Chapter 43: Divine Domineering Haki! (Old Version)
He didn’t move, nor did he use any telekinesis.
He just “wanted” it to break.
Next second.
“Crack—”
Amidst crisp cracking sounds, spider-web-like cracks appeared out of thin air on the sturdy glass.
The cracks on the glass are like the keyholes to a new world.
Lin Yu looked at the cracked cup quietly, feeling the new, seemingly innate power in his body.
Domineering and powerful.
It is not like telekinesis that can intuitively manipulate objects, nor is it like internal force or chakra that can flow through the meridians. It is more like a spiritual “field” or “aura.” Under the influence of this aura, Lin Yu felt that he was the absolute core and the only “king”.
This is a deterrent that comes from the essence of life.
He tried to release this will outward, and the air in the entire apartment seemed to stagnate for a moment. The sunlight outside the window seemed to dim slightly, and the tungsten filament in the light bulb emitted a crackling sound under the heavy pressure. A dog barked in the hallway, followed by hurried footsteps, as if something was startled.
“This is… Conqueror’s Haki.”
Lin Yu withdrew the invisible pressure, and the air in the room began to flow again. He exhaled, feeling a little tired, but more of it was an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
This power might not yet be able to stun thousands of soldiers with a single glance, like Luffy or Red Hair, but its essence has already been planted in his soul. It will grow with the strengthening of his will, eventually becoming one of his most powerful trump cards.
At this point, the chat group was already in an uproar.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: Oh my god! That sir! What on earth did you do? Daddy said the navy fleet was completely destroyed! They didn’t even fire a single shot! This is more powerful than my lightning!
Thor’s amazement was undisguised. In his opinion, this achievement of destroying an elite fleet without any soldiers and using only brains was simply a miracle.
Angel Yan: @Sir, I’m increasingly curious about you. Your brain structure might warrant a deeper analysis with my Eye of Insight. Your understanding of the laws of physics and the flow of energy surpasses that of most intelligent beings in this dimension. Who…are you?
There was a hint of inquiry and strong interest in Yan’s tone. If she had only thought Lin Yu was interesting before, now she had elevated Lin Yu to a level that needed to be taken seriously and even worthy of research.
What Lin Yu cared about most was Sasuke’s reaction.
The last descendant of the Uchiha clan, who always responded with “boring”, “humph” or remained silent, for the first time typed out a complete sentence.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: …An amazing tactic.
Those six short words, spoken by Sasuke, carried as much weight as ten thousand words of praise from Thor. They represented the heartfelt approval of this man, so proud to his core.
Lin Yu smiled slightly and didn’t explain anything.
A truly strong person never needs too many words.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! Boy! This time, I owe you a huge favor! Listen, from today on, you are family to my Whitebeard Pirates! You are my son! From now on, anyone who dares to touch you in the New World will be an enemy of me, Whitebeard!
The weight of these words is enough to shock the entire pirate world.
Being the son of the “strongest man in the world” is the highest honor and the most powerful amulet.
[The Adult]: You’re being polite. I’m glad I could help. But for now, I’ll forget about calling you “son.”
He doesn’t want to have another father out of thin air.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! You have quite the personality, boy! Okay! I’ll listen to you then! Lin Yu! If you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me!
The atmosphere in the group reached its peak because of this incredible victory. Thor insisted that Lin Yu also help him design a plan to deal with Loki, and Yan half-jokingly invited Lin Yu to visit her Tiancheng. Even Sasuke, for once, did not lurk and silently watched the excitement in the group.
Lin Yu leaned on the sofa, feeling extremely relaxed.
This “paper talk” across dimensions not only allowed him to gain the incredible term “Haoshoku Haki”, but more importantly, he truly won the respect of this group of top powerhouses through his own wisdom.
This made him feel more satisfied than any increase in strength.
His newly calmed state of mind was shattered once again by a bold thought. Conqueror’s Haki originates from the spirit, while Divine Chakra is the supreme union of spirit and energy. What kind of monster would be born if the two were combined?
A hint of almost crazy seeking flashed in the depths of Lin Yu’s eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, and his mind completely sank into the ocean of his soul.
He unleashed his domineering aura once again, enveloping the entire room like an invisible black curtain. Then, he carefully channeled a stream of divine chakra, as brilliant as molten gold. Like a living golden stream, it carried a sacred and sublime aura, slowly pouring into the realm symbolizing the will of the “King.”
There was no violent explosion, no violent energy collision. The moment the gold touched the black, an indescribable qualitative change occurred.
The invisible pressure seemed to take on a physical form, tinged with a faint yet majestic golden aura. Black and gold intertwined, as if a king’s scepter and a god’s crown had merged into one.
Lin Yu’s mind moved, and this new power spread instantly. It was no longer a simple mental shock, but like an invisible giant hand, it violently strangled everything in the space! The dust in the air instantly stopped, and even the slightest ripples on the surface of the water in the glass on the table completely disappeared, as if they had been temporarily erased from the laws of physics.
Lin Yu understood. This “divine domineering aura” was so powerful that it far surpassed the strength of the top masters in the pirate world. Its power against devil fruit or elemental powers would no longer be a simple confrontation of momentum, but a conceptual suppression of dimensionality reduction!
After several days of sedimentation, the nascent “divine domineering color” was completely integrated into Lin Yu’s bones and soul.
It was an ordinary morning. Sunlight filtered through the windowpanes, no longer a hazy halo. In his perception, it fragmented into billions of vibrant particles of light, each drawing a golden trail through the air. The tiny particles of dust floating in the room moved with the clarity of stars in slow motion, as if a single thought could freeze them in this moment forever.
This absolute insight and control over the physical world did not intoxicate Lin Yu, but instead brought him an extreme tranquility.
He slowly finished his simple breakfast.
[Ding! Dark Giant Carmilla has joined the group chat.]Chapter 44: Dark Giant Carmilla! (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split! : Chapter 44: Dark Giant Carmilla!
“Dark Giant?” Lin Yu raised his eyebrows. This prefix was not very friendly.
The group instantly exploded.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Oh wow! Newcomer! Welcome! What’s a Dark Giant? Sounds even cooler than my friend the Hulk! What planet are you from? Can you fight?
Thor’s series of questions were filled with the bellicosity and enthusiasm unique to the Asgardians.
However, the newcomer’s first speech was filled with a chilling and hostile aura.
Dark Giant Carmilla: Who are you? Where is this place? Where is Triga?! Hand him over!
As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to be seeking revenge, and he even named names.
Angel Yan: Triga? I’ve never heard of that name. Newbie, your energy response is unique, filled with resentment, jealousy, and… a hint of unfathomable sadness. A creature completely dominated by emotion, truly fascinating research material.
Yan’s speech, as always, was full of scrutiny and analysis, as if he was observing a new species.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! Here comes another angry little girl! Don’t be so nervous, you have no enemies here. I’m Whitebeard, and I’m glad to meet you.
Whitebeard’s voice is always so heroic and has the power to soothe people.
But Carmilla obviously didn’t buy it. She seemed to be particularly sensitive to the word “sadness” and was instantly enraged.
Dark Giant Carmilla: Shut up! What do you lowly bugs know? Sorrow? I only have rage! Endless rage! Tell me where Triga is! Otherwise, I will tear you apart along with space and time!
The violent declaration suddenly made the atmosphere in the group tense. Even Thor could sense the murderous intent that had crossed dimensions and was about to become tangible.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: Hey, lady! We mean you no harm, but your attitude isn’t very friendly! You’re tearing up space and time? That’s quite a mouthful! Do you want to try my hammer?
[Uchiha Sasuke]: …It’s so noisy.
Sasuke’s unchanging diving style, the three words that came out at this moment, seemed to be a cold commentary on this farce.
Angel Yan: Tsk, a warrior blinded by hatred, possessing immense power but unable to even identify his true enemy. Pathetic.
Yan’s evaluation was merciless and directly hit Carmilla’s sore spot.
Dark Giant Carmilla: What did you say?! You dare call me pathetic?! Angels? I hate people like you who are so self-righteous and exude false light!
Seeing that a cross-dimensional verbal battle was about to escalate, Lin Yu, who had been observing silently, finally slowly typed out a line of words.
[That adult]: Carmilla.
Just her name seemed to have some kind of magic, which made Carmilla’s violent words stop abruptly.
Dark Giant Carmilla: …Who are you? Do you know me?
[The Lord]: I don’t know you, nor do I know Triga. But I do know that your constant outbursts of anger are merely a mask for the fear deep within you.
These words were like a precise scalpel, instantly cutting through the hard shell that Carmilla had built with thirty million years of resentment.
The group fell silent. Thor and Yan both stopped speaking, curiously watching how Lin Yu would deal with this “thorn”.
Carmilla was silent for a long time, so long that one would have thought she had gone offline. Then, a line of words emerged, trembling with a deeper rage.
Dark Giant Carmilla: You’re talking nonsense! I’m fearless!
The Lord: Is that so? You vent your anger because you resent Triga’s betrayal. But even more, you hate yourself for being powerless, for watching him leave you, ultimately sealed in darkness. Your so-called revenge isn’t so much about destroying him as it is about proving to him that you’re still the powerful Queen of Darkness without him. Yet, deep down, you yearn for answers from him—answers to why he chose the light in the first place.
Every word Lin Yu said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the softest part of Carmilla’s soul.
[That Lord]: You’re not afraid of turning the world against you. What you truly fear is admitting your own failures, admitting that you… don’t really matter. So you fill the void with anger, and vengeance as the sole meaning of life. Your strength stems from obsession, but this obsession is also your most vulnerable bond. A warrior who can’t even face his own heart is truly… pathetic.
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he stopped talking.
He did not use any flowery words, nor did he mobilize any force, but only used the purest logic and insight to thoroughly analyze a soul that had been entangled for 30 million years.
This time, Carmilla was completely silent.
On the other side of the screen, in the gloomy palace, the Queen of Darkness revealed a bewildered expression for the first time. The anger on that beautiful yet sinister face gradually faded, replaced by a sense of panic and emptiness after all her disguises were seen through.
“I… fear?” she murmured to herself. The word was so strange to her, yet so… real.
Everyone in the group was stunned by Lin Yu’s words.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: …Oh my god, Lin Yu, you… can read minds even better than my father, Odin. Are you sure you’re not Loki in disguise?
Angel Yan: …@Sir, I take back what I said before. Your insight into the human heart transcends the realm of “wisdom.” It’s almost like… a power that makes your words come true. I’m increasingly curious. What exactly are you?
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala… Winning the heart is the best way, kid, you did a great job.
Even Sasuke spoke again, a rare occurrence.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: …Hmph.
A single “humph” emanated a greater complexity of emotion than any of his previous words. Perhaps, in Carmilla, he saw a glimpse of his own past self: the last descendant of the Uchiha clan, consumed by the flames of revenge and lost in darkness.
Lin Yu smiled slightly and closed the chat interface.
He knew that the seed of reflection had already been planted in the heart of the Dark Queen. As for what would grow out of it, it depended on her own fate.
The dark universe where Carmilla is located is filled with dead silence and cold energy.
She sat alone on the throne made of dark matter, Lin Yu’s words echoing in her mind.
“What you’re really afraid of is admitting your failure back then…”
“A warrior who doesn’t even dare to face his own heart…”
“sad……”
Every word was like a poisoned blade, cutting a hole in her heart, which she had thought was indestructible for thirty million years. She wanted to refute, to roar, but she found that she couldn’t even find a reason to refute.
Chapter 45: Her Heart is in Chaos! (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split! : Chapter 45: Her Heart is in Trouble!
Yes, she hated Triga. But wasn’t the deepest part of that hatred because he denied their shared past, denied the darkness she represented? His departure was like saying that everything she had done was wrong.
The pain of being completely denied by the closest person is the real source of the overwhelming resentment.
“No… that’s not the case…” Carmilla clutched her head, her delicate features twisted in agony. The dark energy around her began to surge and boil uncontrollably, forming chaotic energy storms that raged throughout the empty hall.
Her heart was in turmoil.
And at this moment when her mind was most defenseless and her will was the weakest, an extremely obscure spiritual fluctuation, completely different from the surrounding darkness, silently seeped in.
This wave, like an experienced hunter, accurately captured the crack that had just opened in Carmilla’s heart, and then drilled in without hesitation.
“Buzz—”
Carmilla suddenly raised her head, and her eyes became blurred in an instant.
The scene before her began to distort. In front of the originally empty hall, a figure so familiar that it made her soul tremble slowly took shape.
He had a body that was silver, red, and purple, and he was tall and straight, emitting a bright aura that she was once very familiar with but now hated.
“Teliga…” Carmilla’s voice was hoarse and trembling with disbelief.
The phantom of “Triga” looked at her, with no trace of old affection on his face, only cold indifference.
“Carmilla,” the phantom spoke, his voice identical to the one in his memory, but his tone was filled with mockery. “Thirty million years later, and you’re still so pathetic. You have nothing but impotent rage and resentment.”
“Shut up!” Carmilla screamed. This sentence hurt her more than Lin Yu’s analysis because it came from the mouth of “Tiliga”.
The phantom shook his head and looked at her with pity. “Look at you now, trapped in the past, howling like a nagging woman. My original choice was indeed the right one. Darkness only brings destruction and stagnation. And you are darkness itself.”
“Nonsense! What do you know?” Carmilla was completely enraged. She stood up suddenly, and a dark whip flashing with lightning instantly condensed in her hand. “I am the strongest! It was you who betrayed me! It was you who betrayed the darkness!”
She swung her whip wildly, lashing at the phantom with destructive force.
However, the whip pierced through the phantom’s body and slammed heavily into the wall behind him, sending up a shower of rubble. The phantom remained unscathed, and the mockery on his face only deepened.
“If you can’t even touch me, how can you be considered the strongest?” Phantom’s voice was like a spell, constantly eroding her sanity. “Give up, Carmilla. You will never be able to defeat me, just like you were thirty million years ago.”
“Ah …
Carmilla fell into a frenzy, constantly urging the dark energy within her body to attack the untouchable phantom again and again. Her strength was greatly consumed in the meaningless outburst, and her spirit became increasingly fragile due to the huge emotional fluctuations.
In an unknown corner, a figure in a white robe with a blurry face stood quietly. It looked at the mad Carmilla, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.
Kyrieloid people.
A race that excels at manipulating people’s hearts and feeds on the despair and fear of intelligent life forms. It was drawn to Carmilla’s uncontrolled negative emotions and, using its most specialized illusions, tailored a hellish feast for her.
Just when Carmilla was about to be completely devoured by her inner demons, the cold chat group interface in her mind became her last straw.
She was not asking for help, but taking her anger out on others.
She used up the last of her sanity and sent a message in the group.
Dark Giant Carmilla: @That sir! You bastard! ! This is all because of you! You led him out!
The message was followed by a short video of what she saw as “Triga” mocking her.
This message filled with anger and despair instantly caused turmoil again in the chat group that had just returned to calm.
Asgard’s Most Filial Son: Is this… an illusion? Loki likes to play tricks like this too! Hey, giantess, you’re in trouble!
Angel Yan: A mental attack? No, the energy is more like a high-intensity illusion. They’re exploiting your own memories and fears. Your mental defenses have been breached.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! Calm down, little girl! Being led around by illusions doesn’t seem like the behavior of a strong person!
Sasuke didn’t say anything, but Lin Yu could guess that his eyes must be very cold at this moment. Because he was very familiar with this method of attacking by taking advantage of people’s weaknesses.
Lin Yu looked at the image sent by Carmilla, his eyes slightly condensed.
His original intention was to wake her up, but he didn’t expect that this would create a gap in her inner defenses, allowing other beings to take advantage of the opportunity and enter.
Does this count as trouble that I caused myself?
Lin Yu leaned on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his fingers.
He could sense that a fatal crisis was brewing in Carmilla’s world, and the fuse of this crisis was indeed ignited by him.
“Interesting.” He chuckled, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He never minds trouble; solving trouble is a pleasure in itself.
Looking at Carmilla’s almost crazy anger in the group, Lin Yu did not get angry at all. He knew very well that this was a soul on the verge of collapse, randomly grabbing an outlet to vent.
[The Adult]: What are you arguing about? If you want to die in that hallucination, then keep going crazy.
The cold and direct words were like a basin of ice water, poured over Carmilla’s confused consciousness.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: You…!
The Lord: You’re still obsessed with that phantom, which means you subconsciously still mistake it for Triga. You crave its approval, even if it’s angry. So, you’re being led by it.
Lin Yu’s words hit the nail on the head.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: I don’t!
The man said: You know whether it is true or not. Now, if you want to live, do as I say.
Carmilla fell silent. In reality, Triga’s words were constantly provoking her. The dark energy was beginning to bite back at her, and painful cracks were appearing on her body. She knew that if this continued, she would truly die from exhaustion and mental collapse.
This unknown “that adult” is her only hope.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: …How to do it?
These two words represent the first time this proud queen bowed her head to others.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: Great! My Lord, come up with a solution! Like, tell her how to use lightning to break the illusion! My Mjolnir is a specialist for that!
Chapter 46: Gaining a Favor from Carmilla (Old Version)
Anime Chat Group: Tornadoes Split!: Chapter 46: Gaining a Favor from Carmilla (Image and Text)
Angel Yan: Physical attacks are not very effective against high-level illusions. The key lies in the caster’s true form.
Lin Yu ignored them, his instructions appearing clearly and concisely on the screen.
[The Adult]: First, close your eyes.
Carmilla was stunned. Closing her eyes? Wouldn’t that mean she was at the mercy of others?
“What? Coward, you don’t even dare to look at me?” The phantom in front made a more shrill laugh.
[The Lord]: Everything your eyes see is what the enemy wants you to see. Everything your ears hear is what the enemy wants you to hear. Your five senses have become traitors. Give them up.
These words, like a morning bell, rang in Carmilla’s heart.
She gritted her teeth and suddenly closed her eyes amid the phantom’s laughter.
The world instantly fell into darkness and silence. Only that mocking voice still echoed in my mind.
The Lord: Second, ignore that voice. It’s not Trikala, it’s simply the screaming of your deepest fears and inadequacies. The more you pay attention to it, the louder it gets. Treat it like… a buzzing fly.
fly……
This analogy made Carmilla want to laugh, and the frenzy in her heart actually calmed down a little. She began to try to ignore the voice and concentrate all her thoughts inwardly.
The third and most crucial step is to use your power, not your eyes, to see the world. Are you not the Queen of Darkness? Then let darkness be your eyes. Feel the energy flowing through every inch of space around you.
Following his instructions, Carmilla slowly released her vast dark energy. It was no longer a violent attack, but like a spider web, it delicately covered the entire hall.
[The Lord]: No matter how convincing an illusion may be, it’s ultimately a lie. Its energy fluctuations inevitably differ from the real physical world. And to maintain this vast illusion, the caster’s own energy fluctuations become as conspicuous as a bonfire in the night. He’s hiding somewhere, admiring your ugliness. Now, bring him out.
Every word Lin Yu said seemed to be pointing the way for a lost person.
Carmilla’s mind was completely immersed in the ocean of energy.
She “saw” the energy field of the hall. Most of it was a steady and familiar dark energy, her own power. Within it, there was an area where the energy was mixed and ethereal, where the phantom was.
She ignored the false energy and continued to explore outside.
And then… she found it.
In the shadow of a stone pillar at the entrance to the hall, there was an extremely tiny, yet extremely abrupt energy “singularity.” The energy fluctuations there were filled with the unique frequency of spiritual power, incompatible with everything around it.
That’s it!
“I found you…” Carmilla whispered in her heart, and her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
But this time, her eyes were no longer filled with confusion and madness, but with a chilling murderous intent that had locked onto her target!
She did not even glance at the chattering “Triga” phantom, but concentrated all her strength in her right hand, transforming it into an inky black energy whip, which she threw fiercely at the shadow of the stone pillar!
“Die, bug!”
call out–!
The dark whip tore through space, carrying all of Carmilla’s anger and strength, and instantly hit the energy singularity!
“Ugh—!”
A shrill scream, completely different from the phantom’s, was heard.
The phantom of “Triga” that had been mocking her suddenly cracked into pieces like a broken mirror and turned into a point of light and dissipated.
The entire hall returned to its former silence. Only behind the stone pillar did a white-robed Kyrieloid stumble into view, clutching his chest, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
It didn’t understand how this giant, who had been controlled by his inner demons, could see through its illusion.
But Carmilla would not give it time to think about the answer.
“How dare you… play with my heart!”
Her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of the Kirieloid, and her palm, burning with dark flames, mercilessly strangled its neck.
In the other party’s desperate eyes, dark energy rushed in and completely swallowed it, leaving no trace of ash.
Crisis, resolved.
Carmilla stood in the middle of the empty hall, breathing heavily. She felt an unprecedented fatigue, yet her mind was also clearer than ever.
She glanced down at the chat group.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: I knew that adult had a way!
Angel Yan: A brilliant tactical counterattack. Utilizing your own energy field to target the enemy. @Sir, your tactical thinking would be textbook-worthy in any civilization.
[Want to be a good dad]: Gulala! Well done, little girl! Now that’s what a strong man looks like!
Carmilla was silent for a long time.
She couldn’t express her gratitude, but this time, she was indeed pulled back from the edge of the abyss by that person.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally typed out a line of words.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: …I owe you one.
These six short words were as heavy as Mount Tai to this proud Queen of Darkness.
And at this moment, an unexpected person also sent a message.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: @Carlmira, don’t be bound by your inner demons, otherwise you will only repeat the same mistakes.
This sentence made everyone in the group stunned.
This was the first time Sasuke took the initiative to speak to a newcomer. Moreover, his words were not cold, but rather contained a hint of… warning, or perhaps a reminder from someone who had experienced it.
Carmilla was also stunned when she saw Sasuke’s words. She could feel that there seemed to be a heavy story hidden behind these words.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, a genuine smile appeared on his lips.
Not only did he resolve a crisis and gain favor from Carmilla, but more importantly, he made this originally scattered chat group begin to develop a real “connection”.
The proud last descendant of the Uchiha clan extended an invisible hand to the Dark Queen, who was also troubled by darkness and obsession.
This group is becoming more and more interesting.
City Z, afternoon.
Sunlight streamed through the huge French windows, carving warm geometric shapes on the floor. Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa, one hand supporting his chin while the other hand slowly scrolled through the virtual chat group interface. The atmosphere in the group, due to the incident with Carmilla yesterday, was in a delicate and harmonious state.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: @Uchiha Sasuke, I never thought you would say something like that. I thought you could only say “humph” and “boring”.
Angel Yan: @Uchiha Sasuke, your words carry great weight. As someone who has also shouldered darkness, your words of comfort speak louder than any of us.
[Want to be a good father]: Gulala! That’s right, sometimes, the hands extended by those who have climbed out of a similar abyss are the most powerful!
Sasuke didn’t reply, but everyone in the group could feel that the cold aura that enveloped him and kept people at a distance seemed to melt a little.
Carmilla also rarely stayed online. Although she didn’t say a word, she was obviously reading every message in the group. For someone who had just been pulled back from the edge of her inner demons, this kind of “company” might be exactly what she needed.
Chapter 47: Dragon-Level Disaster! Meteorite! (Old Version)
Lin Yu looked at all this and felt quite satisfied.
This chat group seemed to be developing in a more interesting direction. It had become… a haven. A place where those strong individuals, caught in the whirlpool of fate and feeling lonely, could temporarily dock and even find warmth from one another.
At this moment, the TV in the corner of the living room, which had been broadcasting the news, suddenly switched to an emergency bulletin.
“…According to the Hero Association headquarters, a massive meteorite over one kilometer in diameter is falling towards City Z at an extremely high speed! It’s expected to impact the ground in thirty minutes! Its force is enough to wipe the entire City Z and its surrounding areas off the map! The Hero Association has rated this disaster as ‘Dragon’ level! All citizens are requested to follow the instructions and evacuate immediately!”
The female anchor’s voice trembled slightly with fear. On the screen, the image captured by the satellite showed a burning behemoth with a long tail of flame, tearing through the blue sky and bringing a doomsday-like sense of oppression.
Lin Yu’s gaze moved away from the chat group interface and fell on the TV screen. His eyes were as calm as water, as if it was not a meteorite that could destroy the city, but just a small stone that fell into the pond.
“City Z… they really know how to choose a place.” He said to himself.
“Bang–!”
The apartment door was violently flung open by a tremendous force, and Hell Blowing Snow rushed in with a fragrant breeze and an anxious breath. Her pretty face was filled with panic, and her carefully styled curly hair was a little disheveled. It was obvious that she had used all her superpowers to rush here.
“Lin Yu! Are you still watching TV?!” Chuixue’s voice was sharp and rapid, with a hint of incredible anger, “Didn’t you hear the news? A ‘Dragon’ level disaster! A meteorite! We must leave here immediately!”
She grabbed Lin Yu’s arm and tried to pull him up from the sofa. But Lin Yu’s body did not move at all, as if it had merged with the entire building.
“Why do you want to leave?” Lin Yu raised his eyes and looked at her and asked.
Fubuki was taken aback by this obvious question, then stamped her feet in frustration: “Why? You ask me why? That’s a meteorite! A huge thing that fell from the sky! It’s not some weirdo you can easily deal with! It will smash everything here into powder, including you and me!”
It was rare for her to lose her composure like this. As the top B-rank hero and leader of the Fubuki Group, she always strove to maintain elegance and pride. But now, facing this unstoppable natural disaster, her deepest fear and sense of powerlessness were completely unleashed. She wasn’t afraid of monsters, but she was terrified of this irresistible, purely physical destruction.
More importantly, she couldn’t imagine that this man, who had been so hard for her to understand and had shocked her countless times, would be crushed by that cold stone along with this city. The moment this thought arose, her heart tightened and she had difficulty breathing.
“I know it’s a meteorite.” Lin Yu’s tone remained calm, “but it’s heading towards my home, so I have to do something about it.”
“Care? How can you care? Smash it with your fist?” Fubuki was almost laughing out of anger. She thought Lin Yu must be crazy, or he simply didn’t understand the meaning of a “Dragon” level natural disaster. “Listen, Lin Yu! I know you are very strong, ridiculously strong! But this is not the time to be a hero! The Metal Knight has launched all the new missiles, and can’t even tickle it! This is not a problem that can be solved by individual force!”
Before she finished her words, the television screen showed dozens of dazzling white lights rising from the ground, precisely striking the massive meteorite. However, the blasts were as insignificant as festive fireworks compared to the meteorite’s sheer size. Besides creating a few insignificant shallow craters on its surface, they had no substantial impact. The meteorite’s descent continued unabated.
“See?” Fubuki’s voice was filled with despair. “Even the technological weapons of S-class heroes are useless! Let’s go quickly, before there’s still time!”
Lin Yu finally stood up from the sofa. He ignored Chuixue’s anxious urging and walked straight to the door.
“Where are you going?” Fubuki hurriedly followed.
“Let’s go and have a look.” Lin Yu’s answer was simple and clear.
“What are you looking at? Are you looking at us getting crushed to death?” Fubuki grumbled, but her steps couldn’t help but follow. She cursed herself inwardly, she was here to help him escape, so why was he leading her to the center of danger?
But she couldn’t leave this man behind and run away. Her proud heart had been tied to an invisible string at some point, and the other end of the string was in the hands of this man who made her angry and helpless.
The two of them left their apartment building, only to find the world outside in chaos. A shrill sirens echoed across the city, and the streets were packed with panicked people and jammed with traffic. Everyone looked up, their faces filled with the fear of the end of the world.
The sky has been occupied by that huge shadow.
The meteorite drew ever closer to the ground, radiating terrifying heat until the air became scorching and distorted. Like a giant eye from the vast universe, it gazed indifferently at the tiny, soon-to-be-crushed creatures on the ground.
Lin Yu and Chuixue did not stay on the street, but took a few leaps and bounds and came to a rooftop with a wide view.
In the distance, a golden figure soared into the sky. It was the S-Class Hero, the “Devil Cyborg” Genos. He spread his arms, and the thrusters on his back and the incinerators in his palms simultaneously activated to maximum power.
“Burn!”
A beam of energy beam thick enough to penetrate a mountain, carrying all of Genos’s determination and strength, slammed heavily into the bottom of the meteorite!
The deafening roar made the whole city tremble. The place where the light column touched the meteorite burst out with sun-like light, making everyone subconsciously close their eyes.
Fubuki’s heart was in her throat. She stared at the white light, praying for a miracle to happen.
However, when the light fades, the result is despair.
The meteorite continued to fall. Genos’s all-out attack only slowed it down for a fraction of a second, failing to even alter its trajectory. Genos himself, exhausted from energy, plummeted to a shroud of black smoke as he fell helplessly from the sky.
“…It’s over.” Fubuki muttered to himself, his face pale.
Even Genos had failed. This city no longer had any hope.
At this moment, Lin Yu beside her finally moved. He took two steps forward, stood on the edge of the rooftop, and looked up at the doomsday star that was already so close that it covered the entire sky.
“There’s no other way. It seems I have to do it.” His voice was not loud, but it reached Fubuki’s ears clearly.
Not far away, in the shadows of another building, an elderly man in a martial arts uniform, his hair and beard white, was about to abandon his defenses, using his last remaining strength to evacuate the people. He was none other than the S-Class hero, “Silver Fang” Bang. He, too, had witnessed Genos’s defeat, and felt a surge of powerlessness.
However, when his eyes accidentally swept across the rooftop where Lin Yu was, he froze.
Chapter 48: The Golden Giant Standing Tall and Tall! (Old Version)
That figure… that calm young man, as if strolling in his own backyard…
“Is it him?” Bangu’s pupils suddenly contracted, and an unbelievable light flashed in his turbid old eyes.
He would never forget it. It was this young man who, in just one day at his own dojo, mastered the essence of the “Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist” that he had spent his entire life perfecting, and even… had the potential to surpass it!
Why is he here? What does he want to do?
Farther away, a bald man in yellow tights and a white cape, who had just finished a supermarket sale, was walking down the street with a bag of cabbage in his hand, bored. He looked up at the giant meteorite and scratched his shiny bald head.
“Oh, what a big rock. We need to get home before it falls.”
Just as he was about to speed up, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yu and Chuixue on the rooftop in the distance.
“Oh? Someone’s still here. A hero?” Saitama paused, a hint of subtle curiosity flickering across his seemingly calm eyes. “That guy… seems a bit interesting. Let’s see what he’s up to first.”
For a moment, in the land of Z City that was about to be destroyed, the S-class martial arts masters, S-class cyborgs, A-class superpower queens, and the strongest hero who was just interested in it, all focused their attention on the man who stood on the edge of the rooftop, about to face the natural disaster alone.
Chuixue was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She subconsciously reached out and wanted to grab the corner of Lin Yu’s clothes, but found that her hands were trembling slightly.
“Lin Yu, you…”
Lin Yu did not respond, his figure quietly hovering in the air. It was as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase. The evening breeze blew the corners of his clothes, making a rustling sound, but it could not shake him at all.
Not far away, Bangu, who had always maintained the demeanor of a master, lost his composure on his wrinkled face for the first time. His cloudy old eyes widened, and his mouth was slightly open, wide enough to fit an egg.
“What kind of boxing is this? No… this isn’t martial arts! Is it a superpower?”
He spent his entire life, training his body and skills to perfection, believing himself to be at the pinnacle of human martial arts. He could dissipate immense force with his Flowing Rock Crushing Fist, and could unleash unimaginable speed and power with his body. But he had never imagined that a human could just… fly without any external help, unless they had super powers like Tornado.
“Beep—data analysis in progress.”
Not far away, Genos’s electronic eyes flashed with a waterfall of data. “Target: Lin Yu. Biometrics: Human. No propulsion, anti-gravity devices, or energy jets detected. Flight mechanism… unexplainable! Energy readings… rapidly increasing!”
His scanner blared with alarms, a red “Warning” sign flashing frantically on his retinal display.
“This energy… is amazing!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Yu, who was suspended in the air, began to emit light.
It was a pure, warm and majestic golden light.
The light was only a thin layer at first, like the glimmer of dawn. But in an instant, it became thick and blazing, turning into a golden flame that enveloped Lin Yu’s whole body. This flame was not scorching, but it carried a majestic divinity that made the soul tremble.
Lin Yu’s black hair moved silently in the energy wave, and his eyes looked even deeper against the golden light. He slowly raised his head and looked at the huge meteorite that occupied his entire field of vision and brought death and destruction.
The next second, he moved.
“call out–!”
No sonic boom, no air wave.
His figure turned into a golden stream of light and rushed straight towards the “God of Death” in the sky at a terrifying speed that exceeded Genos’s calculation ability.
That posture didn’t seem like he was rushing into a life-or-death battle, but more like a god brushing away some annoying dust in his own sky.
On the rooftop, Fubuki was completely stunned.
She tilted her head back, a golden light trailing through her pupils, eventually drawing ever closer to the sinister meteorite. The wind ruffled her hair, but she was oblivious. From her mind, the glory of a hero, the future of the Fubuki Clan, the pursuit of her sister… everything was completely emptied in that moment.
Only the figure that turned into golden light and flew against the sky remained.
It turns out… a person can really be this handsome.
“His eyes!” Genos’s core processor was nearly overloaded. “The pupil shape has changed! Data model matching… failed! A shape I’ve never seen before!”
During the high-speed flight, a complex pattern formed in Lin Yu’s eyes, and his whole body was a brilliant golden color that was no different from the chakra coat on his body.
Golden Mangekyō Sharingan, open!
When his figure was about to come into contact with the meteorite, an even more terrifying and vast energy burst out from his body.
“boom–!”
Golden energy shot up into the sky and quickly condensed and materialized behind Lin Yu.
First, huge golden ribs appeared out of thin air, building up a towering chest cavity; then, meridians and flesh-like energy substances filled it up, covered with ancient and majestic armor; a giant arm suddenly opened, followed by another; the huge body rose from the ground, with two horns on its head, a golden giant over a hundred meters tall, reigning between heaven and earth as countless survivors in City Z looked up at it!
Susanoo!
Different from the blue or purple Susanoo of the Uchiha clan, Lin Yu’s Susanoo is pure, sacred, and brilliant gold like the sun god descending to the earth!
“What kind of monster is this…” Genos said with a trembling voice, almost unable to speak.
“This…” Bang murmured to himself. This martial arts master, a lifelong believer in human power, now for the first time felt his faith waver. He looked at the towering golden giant and felt that all he had learned was but child’s play.
“oh……”
On the distant street, Saitama stopped, his hand holding the cabbage hanging in the air. His dead eyes, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, now widened slightly.
“What the hell…it’s a giant one. It looks even more formidable than that giant brother from last time.”
He scratched his bald head, and the curiosity in his eyes finally overwhelmed his concern for the supermarket specials.
Above the sky, the golden giant – Susanoo, under Lin Yu’s will, slowly but with an unparalleled sense of oppression, raised its right leg that was as big as a mountain.
The huge meteorite was already very close. The blazing flames burning on it could even make people feel the scorching heat.
Faced with this natural disaster that was enough to destroy everything, the golden giant did not retreat at all.
It just silently kicked the meteorite.
Time, at this moment, seems to be infinitely stretched.
Everyone’s breathing stopped.
Chapter 49 The Meteorite Was Kicked Away! (Old Version)
Everyone had imagined that kick would be an earth-shattering collision. A roar strong enough to rip the eardrums apart, a violent explosion of energy and matter, a head-on clash of destruction and destruction.
However, there was nothing.
The golden giant foot, at a speed that seemed slow but was actually extremely fast, was accurately imprinted on the huge and irregular surface of the meteorite.
No sound.
There was no explosion.
Not even a trace of shock wave spread out.
It felt like a giant used his toes to gently and tenderly “push” the “stone”.
The whole world fell into a strange and heart-pounding silence.
The next moment, an incredible scene happened.
The massive meteorite, bearing the force of thunder and lightning and crashing towards Earth with overwhelming force, shook violently after being touched by the giant golden foot. Its downward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Then, it began to move sideways at an angle that was visible to the naked eye but completely violated the laws of physics.
Yes, pan.
It’s like a high-speed spinning billiard ball being hit by a master’s cue with a wonderful “spin ball” technique. Instead of knocking it away, its trajectory is cleverly changed.
The impact force of the meteorite, the terrifying kinetic energy that was enough to destroy a city, seemed to be completely guided, transformed, and deflected by an invisible and irresistible “clever force”.
A humming sound, so low that it was almost inaudible to humans, echoed in the sky.
The huge meteorite brushed the edge of the atmosphere of City Z, slid out an elegant yet deadly arc, and finally turned into an even brighter meteor, dragging a long flame tail, heading into the depths of the dark and deep universe, never to return.
The sky was clear again.
The warm sunlight once again shone down, illuminating every street and every building in City Z. It was as if the apocalyptic scene just now was just an absurd nightmare.
The city, intact.
On the streets, those people who were running around with their heads in their hands and crying in despair slowly raised their heads and stared blankly at the empty sky, with traces of tears still on their faces.
“The knot… is it over?”
“The meteorite… is gone?”
“We… survived?”
After a brief silence, there was thunderous cheers.
“We’re saved! We’re saved!”
“It’s that golden giant! It must be God’s will!”
Countless people hugged each other and cried, kneeling down to worship towards the sky, treating the golden giant that had begun to slowly dissipate as a savior god.
On the rooftop, Fubuki’s body went limp. The overwhelming joy of surviving the disaster and the unimaginable miracle before her had profoundly impacted her spirit. She gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently, her back soaked with sweat.
Her eyes were fixed on the figure that was slowly descending from the sky.
The golden giant had turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air. The golden chakra coat that wrapped Lin Yu also gradually faded away, revealing his handsome and calm face.
He landed lightly on the edge of the rooftop, his feet touching solid ground, making an inaudible sound.
“Is this…is this true…power?”
Bangu sat on a nearby rooftop, his cloudy old eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. There was shock, awe, and a renewed appreciation for the path of martial arts. The ultimate “skill” he had pursued his entire life seemed so insignificant in the face of Lin Yu’s rule-breaking “power.”
“Analysis report generated.” Genos’s electronic eyes returned to their normal blue color. “Solution assessment: Perfect. Energy utilization: 100%. Collateral damage: 0%.”
The core logic unit of the cyborg came to a conclusion that surprised even himself.
“Ah, it’s done.”
At the other end of the street, Saitama lowered his hand from covering his forehead and picked up the bag of wrinkled cabbages again.
“That’s amazing! It was just a kick. That way, no debris will fall and damage other people’s roofs. How smart! Well, I’ll go home and make hot pot.”
He yawned, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his dead fish eyes, which he himself had not even noticed.
That man named Lin Yu…seems to be really interesting.
Perhaps, this boring world will finally become a little more interesting.
He turned around and walked towards home at a leisurely pace, his figure quickly disappearing among the celebrating crowd.
There was deathly silence on the rooftop.
The wind blew, bringing with it a refreshing feeling after surviving the disaster.
Chuixue looked at Lin Yu, the man whom she had wanted to recruit by means of coercion and inducement not long ago, but now she felt that there was an insurmountable chasm between him and herself.
Hero Association Headquarters, underground command center.
The piercing red alarm lights flashed frantically, casting ghostly shadows on every tense, distorted face. A cold, mechanical voice mercilessly counted down the time until impact, and every second felt like a hammer, hammering down on everyone’s heart.
“It’s over… Everything is over…” A young female operator stared blankly at the ever-enlarging, burning hell star on the main screen, tears blurring her vision.
At this moment, the image on the main screen suddenly flashed.
“Wait! What is that?!”
Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to it. In the extreme imagery captured by the satellite, a golden light, beyond description, shot up into the sky, like the earth roaring its unyielding fury at the heavens. The light condensed, transforming into a massive, unimaginably large golden foot, etched with sacred and majestic patterns, like a creature from myth or legend.
Just like that, it gently “touched” the side of the meteorite at a speed that seemed slow but actually exceeded the limit of dynamic capture.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling brilliance of energy collision.
The only sound that could be heard in the entire command center was the sharp beeping of the data analyzer, which was on the verge of collapse due to its inability to analyze the data.
“The trajectory… the trajectory has deviated!” The head of the analysis team roared hoarsely. He stared at the red predicted line on the screen that represented the meteorite’s trajectory. It slid towards the green area representing “safety” at a perfect and incredible angle.
“Where are the energy readings?!” Xichi, a senior executive of the association dressed in a suit and with a serious expression, slammed the ground with his cane, trying to restore order from the chaos.
“Unable to analyze, Minister!” the Chief Technology Officer responded, sweating profusely. “The energy reaction instantly exceeded the limits of all our detectors! It…it’s like ‘nothing’, yet it contains ‘everything’! Our equipment cannot define this power!”
“Zoom in! Lock on that giant! I want to know who he is!” Xichi ordered.
However, no matter how hard the technicians tried, the golden giant in the image remained enveloped in a dense halo. No optical or energy detection could penetrate the thin, yet seemingly dimensional, golden veil. They could only capture the giant’s hazy, towering outline and the giant foot that delivered the saving blow.
Chapter 50: Aren’t You Afraid That I’m in a Dangerous Lair? (Old Version)
A few seconds later, as the meteorite completely disappeared from the monitoring range, the golden beam of light began to dim and shrink rapidly, and finally turned into light spots all over the sky and disappeared without a trace.
As if it had never appeared.
The command center fell into a deathly silence, with only the hum of the server cooling fans as the only sound. On the main screen, the intercepted video played repeatedly: the appearance of the giant golden foot, the gentle touch, and the perfect deflection of the meteorite.
“Report…” After a long moment, an analyst finally found his voice, his voice dry. “The target has disappeared and cannot be tracked. Identity… is unknown.”
Xiqi stared silently at the frozen image on the screen. The giant golden foot, like a brand, etched itself deeply into his pupils. After a long pause, he gave a solemn order: “Name this incident Doomsday. Classify all footage as top secret. Announce publicly… that it was the combined efforts of the Association’s S-Class heroes that successfully resolved the crisis.”
He knew it was a lie, a fragile lie, but before finding the mysterious golden giant, it was the only way to maintain the prestige of the Hero Association and the confidence of the people.
The alarm in City Z had long been lifted, and the sky was clear, as if the crisis that had just occurred, which was enough to destroy civilization, was just an illusion.
On a giant screen on the street, the Hero Association’s spokesperson was passionately broadcasting the news: “…Thanks to the concerted efforts of the Association’s S-Class heroes, the Dragon-class meteorite codenamed ‘Doomsday’ has been successfully intercepted. The city is safe! Let’s cheer for the heroes!”
Below the screen, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers for those who had survived the disaster, chanting the names of various S-class heroes.
In the noisy crowd, Hell Snowflake folded his arms, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
“Work together? What a joke.” She snorted and turned her head to look at Lin Yu beside her.
Lin Yu’s eyes swept across the screen, as calm as if he were reading an insignificant weather forecast. “It’s just a necessary lie,” his voice was flat. “The people need an idol they can see and touch to place their faith in, not a golden giant that comes and goes without a trace.”
His words are always to the point and easily get to the heart of the matter.
Fubuki’s gaze shifted from the screen to him. This man possessed a unique transparency, as if any disguise was utterly meaningless in front of him. Suddenly, the cheers around her seemed a bit harsh.
“It’s too noisy here,” she frowned and said in a tone that brooked no argument. “It’s okay anyway, go sit down where you live.”
“Oh?” Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, “Are you not afraid that I am in a dangerous place?”
“Hell Fubuki, number one in B-rank, has no fear of going anywhere.” Fubuki raised her chin, regaining her usual haughty demeanor, but a faint blush crept up her ears. She simply didn’t want to be alone, especially after such a shocking event. And for some reason, she felt a strange sense of security in being around this man.
Lin Yu’s apartment was completely different from what Chuixue had imagined a single man’s residence to be.
There are no piles of takeout boxes, no scattered clothes, and not even a trace of unnecessary clutter. The entire space presents an ultimate simplicity, cleanliness, and tidiness.
“…I thought it would be more…livable.” Fubuki looked around, somewhat surprised. She had prepared a lot of complaints about how “all men are the same,” but they all got stuck in her throat.
“Is it disappointing?” Lin Yu took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and threw it to her. “I can mess it up now and meet your expectations.”
Fubuki unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. The cool liquid calmed her chaotic thoughts a little. She walked to the bookshelf and ran her slender fingers over the spines of the books. From quantum physics to classical philosophy, from ancient mythology to star analysis, the variety was staggering.
“It’s hard to imagine someone like you actually reading this stuff.” She casually pulled out a book about ancient archaeology and flipped through a few pages. “I thought you spent your days either meditating or just daydreaming.”
“Occasionally, we need some new information input.” Lin Yu didn’t even raise his head.
“Have you found a way to save the world from these piles of old papers? Like today?” Fubuki’s tone was filled with a subtle hint of sarcasm. She walked over to the sofa and looked down at him.
Today’s events had a profound impact on her. Her superpowers, so proud of themselves, paled in comparison to such a natural disaster. The association’s announcement of the “S-Class Hero Joint Action” had made her realize that the image of her lifelong sister, whom she had longed to pursue, was becoming increasingly distant. She felt annoyed, and her words were filled with venom.
Lin Yu finally raised his head from the book and met her gaze calmly: “Sometimes, the answer lies not in finding, but in ‘becoming’.”
His eyes were as deep as the night sky, as if they could see through everything. Fubuki’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that her disguised arrogance and unwillingness were completely exposed in front of him.
She wanted to refute and maintain her pride as “Hell Blowing Snow”, but her body reacted before her mind. She leaned over and tried to grab the book in Lin Yu’s hand, trying to break the atmosphere that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“You’re just being mysterious. I want to see what it is…”
Her fingertips were about to touch the cover of the book, but she leaned forward a little too much and her foot slipped for some reason.
“ah!”
With a short scream, Chuixue lost her balance and fell towards Lin Yu.
The expected embarrassment did not happen.
Lin Yu’s reaction was incredibly fast. He didn’t even put down the book. He just turned slightly sideways, stretched out his left hand, and held her waist steadily.
In an instant, the world became quiet.
Chuixue’s hands subconsciously rested on Lin Yu’s chest, her cheek less than a fist away from his face. She could clearly see her reflection in his dark pupils, smell his clean scent mixed with old book papers and a hint of soap, and feel the steady and strong heartbeat under her palms, as well as the scorching heat from the hand around her waist.
The temperature was like an electric current, instantly breaking through all her psychological defenses.
With a “boom”, a burst of heat rushed from the neck to the top of the head. Fubuki’s cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her ears became hot.
Her mind went blank.
As the leader of the Fubuki Clan, she was used to giving orders, keeping her distance, and clamoring for a cold and arrogant air. Such close, protective physical contact from a man was something she had never experienced before.
This was completely different from a clash in battle. There was no murderous intent, no confrontation, only a pure masculine aura and sense of power that made her feel uneasy.
Lin Yu’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he was observing something interesting. He spoke in a steady voice: “Stand firm?”
These three words were like a needle, piercing the stagnant air.
Fubuki woke up as if from a dream, jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, and took several steps back until her back hit the cold bookshelf.
Chapter 51: The Dark Queen’s Cage! (Old Version)
“I…I…” She babbled incoherently, completely losing her usual calmness and composure. “I suddenly remembered that the team has an emergency meeting! Yes, an emergency meeting! I have to go back right away!”
She didn’t even dare to look at Lin Yu again. She hurriedly put on her high heels, grabbed her handbag, and almost ran out of the apartment.
The door was slammed shut, leaving the room in silence.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa, his eyes fell on the closed door, and then slowly moved to his left hand. There seemed to be a trace of delicate touch and warmth on it.
He looked down at his chest where her hand had been pressing, and recalled her panic-stricken and flushed face just now, which was completely different from the arrogant queen she usually was.
It turns out that this is the situation under that layer of ice.
The corners of Lin Yu’s mouth involuntarily raised a very faint arc, and a hint of novel smile flashed in his eyes.
“Hell’s blowing snow…”
He whispered the name, feeling as though he were truly getting to know this person for the first time.
“So… there’s this unknown side to you.”
After seeing Chuixue off, Lin Yu sat on the sofa. With a thought, a virtual interface that only he could see unfolded before his eyes.
As soon as I entered, the group was already bustling with activity.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Hahahaha! You didn’t see the wailing of that frost beast today! I only used one hammer to smash it back to its home in Jotunheim! Asgard’s dinner party is missing this special dish!”
[Want to be a good father]: “Gulala… Sounds like a great party, son of Odin. However, the best wine and feast will be on my Moby Dick, with my sons!”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Dad is right! Next time I have the chance, I will definitely visit you with Asgard’s finest mead!”
Angel Yan: “Oh? A certain muscular ‘god’ is showing off his achievements in bullying small animals again? How cute.”
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Yan! This is no small animal, it’s a frost beast powerful enough to freeze an entire world! This is called glory!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Hmph, boring.”
As always, Sasuke’s remarks hit the bull’s eye of the silent audience.
The group was silent for a moment, and it seemed that even Whitebeard’s hearty laughter was frozen by the cold air.
Lin Yu looked at the screen and couldn’t help but smile. This group of powerful people from different worlds, with very different personalities, always produced a wonderful chemical reaction when they got together. Thor’s straightforwardness, Whitebeard’s heroism, Yan’s tsundereness, Sasuke’s coldness, watching their “daily life” every day can dilute the oppression brought by the real world.
At this moment, an ID that had not appeared for a long time suddenly sent a message.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: “Light…damn light!”
The message was filled with undisguised irritability and anger, as if it could burn people’s eyes through the screen.
The atmosphere in the group changed instantly.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Light? What’s wrong, Carmilla? Did some blind fellow offend you? Tell me the name, and I’ll help you smash his kingdom to pieces!”
Thor obviously took this as an ordinary provocation and still looked like he was looking for chaos in the world.
[Want to be a good father]: “Gulala…little girl, are you in trouble?”
Whitebeard’s tone was much calmer, with the concern of an elder.
Angel Yan: “The light that can trouble even you, the leader of the dark giants, is extraordinary. Is it some kind of sealing technique? Or energy restraint?”
Yan is worthy of being a high-level angel, and he grasped the key to the problem in an instant.
Dark Giant Carmilla: “Shut up! I don’t need your sympathy! It’s just a cage, I will tear it apart with my own hands sooner or later!”
Her reply was filled with outspoken arrogance, but everyone in the group could sense her underlying weakness. Someone who could truly extricate themselves from a difficult situation wouldn’t be so frustrated and furious in a group chat.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “Trapped in light? Aren’t you a giant of darkness? How ironic.”
Sasuke’s venomous tongue arrived late but accurately hit Carmilla’s sore spot.
[Dark Giant Carmilla]: “Uchiha brat, do you want to die? When I get out, I’ll be the first one to rip your mouth apart!”
[Uchiha Sasuke]: “I’m always at your service.”
Seeing that the two were about to fight in the group, Lin Yu knew that he could no longer hide. He knew Carmilla’s character very well. She was extremely arrogant and her self-esteem was higher than the sky. If she was not really helpless, she would never expose her predicament in the group.
The man said, “Ms. Carmilla, could you describe the situation you encountered in detail? Perhaps, an outsider can see more clearly.”
His appearance made the tension in the group less tense.
Carmilla fell silent. Asking for help from a “mortal” who, in her opinion, was powerless was worse than killing her. But Sasuke’s words were like a thorn, piercing deep into her heart. Yes, trapped by the power of light she hated the most, was there anything more ironic than this?
After a long time, she reluctantly sent a message.
Dark Giant Carmilla: “I triggered an ancient trap in a ruin. A cage made of pure light, it constantly absorbs my dark energy to strengthen itself. The more I resist, the stronger it becomes.”
Her descriptions are simple but packed with information.
A trap that absorbs darkness and strengthens light. This is simply a perfect restraint tailor-made for her.
[Asgard’s Most Filial Son]: “Absorbing your power? What kind of magic is this? How about you try to break it open with your fist instead of using dark power?”
Dark Giant Carmilla: “Fool! My power is darkness itself. Every attack of mine is imbued with dark energy! You want me to use my fists? Doesn’t your hammer carry electricity when you throw it?”
Thor was speechless.
[Want to be a good father]: “Gulala… This is indeed troublesome. My vibration power can ignore energy attributes, but unfortunately, we are separated by a world and cannot help.”
Angel Yan: “It sounds like a sophisticated energy conversion array. If we can analyze its energy circuit, we might be able to reverse engineer it. But you’d need a celestial computer-level device. Do you have one?”
Carmilla fell silent again. If she had that thing, she would have formatted the “light” in Triga’s brain thirty million years ago.
Just when everyone in the group was at a loss, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Yu’s mind.
[It has been detected that group member ‘Carl Milla’ is in serious trouble, meeting the mission triggering conditions.][Special Entry Quest Release: The Dark Queen’s Cage]Mission Description: As the heroine of a love-hate relationship spanning thirty million years, Dark Giant leader Carmilla is currently imprisoned by the very force of light she detests.
