Shirou Becomes a Hero Once Again / Ainz Ooal Gown, the Bone King...

"Hey! Move along! Don't block the way!" a man shouted from behind.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Tch, what bad luck!" The man with the Pheasant Head cursed as he jumped over the guardrail and ran out into the driveway.

"Hmph! Young man, you've ruined this place again. I was planning to establish a convenient base for my Magic Kingdom here. Compared to me, aren't you more like evil? In the end, the person you're looking for isn't even here, is he?" the skeletal man in the long robe said in a deep voice.

"Shut up! The people in this world have nothing to do with me, they die and that's it. But anyone who poses a threat to Miyuki must be killed! I'll kill you!" The short-haired man's face was grim as he hurled a white particle sphere at the monster before him.

Shiba Tatsuya got separated from his sister and ended up in this unreasonable world. As a world with far more advanced technology than this one, he naturally understood the importance of gathering information. Then, quite ridiculously, he discovered that he was actually a product of a light novel.

But none of that matters to him. Whether he's the protagonist of a light novel or a manufactured human weapon, it doesn't matter. All he needs is to protect Miyuki.

However, while he was away collecting evidence, the gap through which he could return disappeared.

Shiba Tatsuya could only frantically search for his sister's whereabouts, but he couldn't find her anywhere. All signs indicated that his sister, Shiba Miyuki, had not come to this school.

So he went mad; without his sister, he was nothing more than a twisted war machine.

Boom!!!

The white particle sphere and the black gravity sphere fell to the ground together, like miniature mushroom bombs, engulfing an entire block in white light and disintegrating everything. Then the earth trembled violently once more.

Even people in this country, who are already used to frequent earthquakes, are beginning to worry that such an impact might cause Mount Fuji to erupt out of control, triggering a tsunami and causing a disaster even more terrible than in the past.

Bang!

Bang!

Among the fleeing crowd around the Baidai District, a man with Pheasant Head was climbing onto cars, moving around on the roofs, jumping from a Toyota to a Honda, then to the right onto a Subaru, and then onto the hood of Mazda to continue jumping forward.

Because there were no obstacles ahead, it was much faster than the people crammed onto the sidewalk.

"Hahaha!!! A bunch of idiots, anyone slower than me should just die!"

The man with the Pheasant Head hopped back and forth on a black and white Metropolitan Police Department Crown, laughing smugly. He should have done this a long time ago!

Just then, the ground in front of him began to crack open little by little. The man with the Pheasant Head was so focused on running forward that he didn't notice what was happening underground!

The man's sudden movement was like the last straw that broke the camel's back; the road surface completely cracked open. The crack stopped right next to the pedestrian guardrail, where the pedestrians narrowly escaped disaster.

"Whoa!" The man with the Pheasant Head fell into the ditch along with the car.

At the critical moment, Shirou arrived and lunged towards the gap that had now become a cliff. He grabbed the railing at the broken section with one hand and threw out a chain with the other, which miraculously wrapped around the Pheasant Head man's arm, preventing him from falling.

"Whoaaaaah!!!" The man with the Pheasant Head was so frightened that he swung back and forth in mid-air, kicking his legs wildly!

"Don't panic! Don't move! I'll definitely get you up here!" Shirou shouted to the man below.

"Aaaaaah!! Damn it! I don't want to die!" But the Pheasant Head man wasn't the type to listen to others, and he continued to swing wildly below, kicking the cracked cliff with his feet.

Because of the commotion below, Shirou's hands, gripping the chains tightly, were cut in several places, dripping blood. However, he gritted his teeth and held on tightly, not daring to let go. Controlling Noble Phantasm requires a high degree of concentration; otherwise, the chains created by the coin would revert to their original state.

"Please! Mikoto!" Shirou looked up and shouted to the reinforcements above.

"I understand! Hang in there!"

Chapter 1120: Shirou Becomes a Hero Once Again

"Haaaaaaah!!!"

White lightning flashed above, creating a shockwave. Mikoto Misaka clenched her fists, her hair standing on end, and unleashed her full power into the ground.

The girl spread her hands, and her whole body emitted electricity. The cars that had fallen deep into the crack were pieced together one by one, floated up, and filled the crack, forming a floating steel road.

The man with the Pheasant Head and Shirou also landed on the car and returned to the ground.

"Oh, oh, oh."

"Well done! Young man!" The people at the scene applauded Shirou's heroic act.

"Thank you everyone! Please stay calm, keep order, and keep moving forward! You'll all be alright!" Shirou shouted loudly to everyone.

Because the ground had cracked and the road ahead was no longer safe, people were filled with uncertainty and anxiety about whether they could be rescued. However, Shirou's appearance, his selfless act of helping others, and the middle school girl with superpowers gave people a much-needed boost of confidence.

If these people were there, perhaps even the greatest disaster could be survived. Therefore, the people moving forward became much calmer and moved steadily forward.

Among the crowd was an older woman holding a little boy. The little boy stared wide-eyed at Shirou as he approached and asked, "Big brother, are you a hero?"

In the little boy's mind, only beings like Ultraman and Kamen Rider could do such a thing.

"Ah, so there's no need to be afraid anymore. I'll make everything normal again, so you have to be strong and work together to get through this difficult time. Tomorrow, you can live happily with your family again." Shirou smiled, patted the boy's head with his unblemished hand, and raised his fist to him.

"This is a promise between you and me!"

"Okay! I'll do my best! Big brother, go and beat the bad guys to a pulp!" The little boy smiled brightly and bumped fists with Shirou.

"What?! It's that brat again! Damn it! Am I falling behind again? You're a jinx! If it weren't for you, I would have been ahead by now!" The man with the Pheasant Head, who had been pulled back, saw the little boy and immediately cursed with a dark face.

"I'm not afraid of you! I've already made a promise with the hero! I'll be strong, and then I can reunite with my mom and dad tomorrow!" the little boy shouted at the man.

"Ha! Who do you think you're talking to, kid!" The man snarled menacingly toward the little boy.

Shirou tightened his grip on the chain, pulling the man back a few steps.

"Ouch! You bastard! What do you think you're doing! Don't think I'll thank you just because you saved me! Untie me now!" The man with the Pheasant Head was still cursing as Shirou rescued him.

"No, you're not suited to run around outside. Just stay here!" Shirou used a little force to restrain the Pheasant Head man's hands, rendering him unable to move.

"It hurts so much! Let go!"

At such a critical moment, it's better to control those troublemakers who cause chaos in society. Moreover, compared to letting them run around aimlessly and court death, keeping them here obviously offers a better chance of survival.

"I'll leave this to you two, okay? Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki." Shirou turned to the two girls and said.

"I originally came here just because I overheard something interesting." The blonde girl, Shokuhou Misaki, with stars in her eyes, held a remote control in her hand and pouted somewhat reluctantly.

"Then why did you come along in the first place! Either go back! Or help me!" Mikoto Misaka snapped, annoyed. She hadn't intended to bring Shokuhou Misaki in the first place. She hadn't been entangled with her, and had no other choice.

Otherwise, Mikoto Misaka wouldn't have run into Shirou on the road. She actually wanted to see Gekota more, but because Shokuhou Misaki and went sightseeing nearby instead.

"Yes, yes! This is a small matter, not difficult for me at all. It's just that there are quite a few people to take care of." Shokuhou Misaki pressed a button on the remote control. The people on the street immediately responded as if they had received a signal.

The riotous crowd no longer displayed any tension or disorder. Like a well-trained army, they stood in neat rows, mouths agape, their eyes vacant and lifeless. The man with the Pheasant Head also entered the ranks expressionlessly.

They will be escorted by Shokuhou Misaki and Mikoto Misaka to a safe area for refuge.

"Alright everyone, this is the 2012 End of the World Tour Group. Please follow me on this evacuation and sightseeing trip." Shokuhou Misaki held up a small flag she had picked up from somewhere and led the way like a tour guide.

Hearing the continuous explosions outside, Satou Kazuma said helplessly.

"That skeleton man was an absolutely terrifying boss... Are all monsters from other worlds this terrifying?"

"No, as far as I know, that skeleton was also human. A being who transmigrated just like us," Rimuru said, squinting.

"Huh? A human?!" Natsuki Subaru exclaimed in surprise.

"After all, who knows what kind of personality someone had before reincarnation? And what if they experienced some kind of trauma after reincarnation? It's not uncommon for someone to turn into a monster."

"Ah, that's true..." Natsuki Subaru replied with deep feeling. Sometimes the other world is really cruel enough to make you want to die and end it all. He had experienced so much, but no one knew about it, and he wasn't even allowed to confide in anyone.

Several times, he had the evil thought of killing those who had hurt and deceived him, and using his ability to return from death to take revenge on everyone.

If it weren't for the kind girl who saved him every time he was on the verge of collapse, he might have gone mad long ago.

"If that's the case, then humans really are quite terrifying."

Kazuma went from being a shut-in to a capable adventurer, and he suffered quite a bit at the hands of those willful reincarnated seniors. He had some understanding of this kind of experience, so he grasped things very quickly.

"Speaking of which, what did Rimuru do before he transmigrated? Was he a gangster?"

Although they are adorable slimes, they seem very sensible and reliable, and they even appear to be older than the others.

Rimuru smiled and replied, "I was just an office worker before, thirty-seven years old."

"Hey? You're kidding!" x2

"Well, even now I'm just a slime, so don't have too many expectations of me. The hero who saves the world should be someone with the resolve to do it," Rimuru said casually.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shirou arrived at a rooftop where a petite girl in a black cloak and a boy wearing a scarf stood. They were the couple who had been traveling throughout the Nihil, trying to persuade the Crimson Realm Demon King.

"Mr. Sakai, please! Take me outside the World Wall!"

Chapter 1121 Ainz Ooal Gown

Every now and then, black and white spheres explode, each one like a missile. Even if Shirou were to return to Servant- level power, it wouldn't be enough to fight them.

Although they come from an incomplete world formed by combining fictional elements of human will with the power of a white god, they are still individuals whose personal strength reaches the level of a hegemon within that world.

To defeat an existence of that caliber, Shirou must regain the power of the White God; there is no other way.

However, this power does not exist in this world. The power that was originally in the same place as Shirou remains on the outer shell of the world wall.

As an ordinary Shirou currently lacks the ability to reach the World Wall.

However, Shana, who had returned to the Nihil, brought a crucial being with her to this world.

It was Sakai Yuji, a human who had once merged with the Creation God, Serpent of the Festival, who, in order to create a better future for the inhabitants of the Crimson World and the humans of the present world, led many Crimson Realm Demon King Flame Haze Warrior. He sacrificed the lives of some people and the Demon Lords, and ultimately created a new world as a buffer zone between humans and the Crimson Realm Demon King.

After the Ritual Serpent completed its task, it returned to its slumber. Yuuji Yuji, as a special individual, entered the Nihil, voluntarily going to persuade the Crimson Realm Demon King to stop harming humans and to live in peace with the mortal world. He was called the 'Returner' by the Crimson Flame Haze Warrior.

Meanwhile, Shana, a former partner, also Nihil and became Sakai Yuji's wife.

The Serpent of the Ritual possesses the omnipotence of creation and also has a deep understanding of space. Yuji, who once merged with the gods, inherited some of its abilities and can use free magic to move through space, and has experience in traveling between different worlds.

If it were him, he could help Shirou reach the outer shell of the world.

"Mr. Emiya, are you really sure? With great power comes great responsibility. If you're going to protect most of the world's population, you'll inevitably become a source of hatred for a small minority as well," said Yuuji Yuji, the Reincarnation Walker, looking at Shirou.

"Yes, I wholeheartedly want world peace and hope that everyone can be happy. But there are also people who don't want the world to be too peaceful." Shirou nodded, recalling the Old Man Yamaishi the kendo dojo he had met before.

"But I still firmly believe in world peace! I can only do what I can for the sake of the people I can understand, so that they may find happiness."

Shirou said firmly.

"Is that so? Alright! The door is open for you, go in!" Yuji, the Reincarnation Walker, said with a wave of his hand, and a pitch-black door appeared in front of Shirou.

At this moment, two figures were moving rapidly in the air above the abyss of the Baidai District.

The man with bangs Shiba Tatsuya, pulled out a gun, aimed it at the Skeleton Lich, and fired a series of devastating bullets.

However, the Skeleton Lich's teleportation True Magic can always be dodged.

"Heart Grasp--!" The Skeleton Lich made a clenching motion towards Shiba Tatsuya from a distance.

This is a skill that ignores distance and crushes the opponent's heart.

"..." Shiba Tatsuya's face turned pale, and he frowned, but nothing else happened after that.

The 'Self-Repair Technique' creates a backup of the body in its healthy state. If any damage occurs, the backup body can be directly recreated. Therefore, even multiple injuries can be healed instantly, with a repair time of 0.2 seconds.

For Shiba Tatsuya, these techniques have become a fixed pattern of self-regulation in his body. Whenever he is injured, the self-repair technique is activated regardless of Tatsuya's will.

The average person can't tell whether it's been used or not; after repair, it's the same as when it wasn't injured.

Shiba Tatsuya and arrived. Through calculation, he predicted where the black-robed Skeleton Lich would teleport and appeared behind it first. He clenched his hands into a hammer shape and smashed the black-robed Skeleton Lich into the abyss.

The Skeleton Lich used the momentum to fall downwards, creating distance between itself and the falling lich, but it remained unharmed.

"Hehehe... Physical attacks are ineffective against me."

This is one of the buffs on the Skeleton Lich, which continuously increases physical defense and grants immunity to one instance of melee damage with its Radiant Emerald Body.

Shiba Tatsuya pulled the trigger at the black-robed skeleton. This was a 'Disintegration Technique'; whatever the target was, it would be disintegrated into an atomic state.

The Skeleton Lich's magnificent robes were torn apart in a single blow.

"What an interesting ability. It's more like science fiction than True Magic. Although it's not scientific at all. How about we give up the fight and destroy this world together?" the Skeleton Lich said leisurely.

He casually pulled up his inventory and changed into a new True Magic robe. As a paying player, he had once again inherited all the resources of a top-tier guild. (Monthly membership group 694936135) These were the things he had in abundance.

"Madman, you said you used to be human, but you changed your appearance. I think you're completely corrupted inside." Shiba Tatsuya said, looking at the Skeleton Lich with disgust.

Shiba Tatsuya bears the fate imposed upon him by his parents: born without his consent, deemed a potential world destroyer, artificially modified, and then shackled. He never considers himself normal; his very presence at school is odd. And then a bunch of inexplicable guys come to provoke him. What makes them comparable to a weapon? Would anyone try to outdo a mushroom bomb in looks and steal a girl?

But the guy in front of him was not good, and even Shiba Tatsuya understood this fact.

The skeletal frame possessed strange strength and emanated an aura of death, making it seem as if simply looking at it could kill you. A normal person seeing it would either turn and run away or grab a weapon to make it disappear; no one would even consider talking to it.

Shiba Tatsuya know the meaning of his existence, namely whether his younger sister, Shiba Miyuki, had actually come into this world. But he only had two choices: one was to find his sister in this world, and the other was to find a way back to the original world to find her.

No matter which option is chosen, no matter in which world they are in, this skeleton shouldn't be there, otherwise the sister's life would be insecure. To achieve this wish, Shiba Tatsuya doesn't care about anything else.

"What a crazy young man. You must be just like my kids. I can sense the twisted nature within you."

"You said I'm crazy, but do you know what your expression looks like right now? You look way crazier than me!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, young man? Do you think someone like you can even be called human? You've killed several times more humans than I have since the beginning," the skeleton lich Ainz retorted.
