Chapter 118

Madara, in particular, immediately began to have doubts upon seeing Li Yue.

Is this what you look like after your reincarnation, Hashirama? You're so young!

"Let's find a more open space first, and then we'll open the door and let the remaining two group members come over."

"Oh! Let's go to the alley where those three thugs live."

486 led the way, taking Li Yue to the alley where she was fighting with the thugs. Then, in front of 486, Li Yue began to open a spatial portal.

The first slash opened the portal to the world of Bleach. Aizen, who had been waiting, immediately walked over after the portal opened. At this time, Aizen had his usual slicked-back hairstyle and was wearing the white suit of Las Noches, looking incredibly imposing.

"Long time no see, Li Yue-kun."

"It's been a long time, Captain Aizen."

Aizen and Li Yue greeted each other with smiles, deciding not to address each other as father and son in front of outsiders. After exchanging greetings, Aizen walked aside, and Li Yue once again opened the portal to the Pirate King world.

Only the Red-Haired on the right was waiting on the other side of the Portal.

"Everyone, stay on the boat and have some fun. I'll be right back!"

Shanks greeted his group members and then stepped through the Portal.

"Hey, I'm just Give Me Some Face, you can call me Shanks! I'm a free pirate!"

When Shanks arrived, he immediately greeted everyone present, mainly Subaru and Aizen, since neither of them had ever met him before.

"I am the Hair Gel Man in the Sky, my real name is Aizen Sousuke Bleach)."

Aizen responded with a smile.

"Huh? Bleach?"

Shanks looked at Aizen in surprise, but he understood that this was probably not a real god, but some kind of title or profession.

"As for me, I'm Meme Lord. You can just call me Li Yue."

Li Yue answered while putting away the Enma's Blade and closing the door.

Seeing the three group members in front of him, each with a sword at their waist and looking older than him, all of them appearing to be serious fighters, Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but swallow hard.

"I am So Arrogant, my real Subaru Natsuki! Greetings, everyone!"

"486, don't worry, with us here, you won't get into any more trouble!"

Li Yue patted 486 on the shoulder and smiled as she assured him.

"Then I entrust my safety to the three of you seniors!"

Are you kidding me, kid? Standing next to you right now Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Emperor of the Sea from the Pirate King world; Aizen Sousuke, the super boss from the Bleach world; and Li Yue, who has gathered the power of many Demon God on the Teyvat continent.

With three powerful figures standing behind you, you can now roam freely in this world!

194. Go and meet the strongest Sword Saint!

After receiving help, 486 immediately became much bolder. In fact, he was very bold from the beginning and took things for granted, daring to go to the Slums alone to find a transaction site, unafraid of being beaten to death by the thugs in the Slums.

However, after dying repeatedly, he realized he couldn't pass the level, so he thought of asking someone for help.

Because of the existence of the Chat Group, his mindset is much better than when he was acting alone in the original story. After his first death, he was told that his ability was to rewind time, and there were people watching from the sidelines. He could even call for help. He wasn't adventuring in Otherworld alone, which made him feel less lonely. Therefore, in Subaru's current view, this Otherworld is more like a game where you conquer beautiful girls in Otherworld.

That's right. For Subaru now, this world is more like a game. Anyway, he can't die, he can try and make mistakes on his own, and he even has viewers in the Live Stream Room to help him and even personally help him. Isn't this just a game of conquering Otherworld?

"Yosh, now that I have a senior helping me, I can proceed with the strategy with peace of mind!"

Three tall men stood behind him. 486 excitedly raised his right hand and pointed forward.

"Then, let's go!"

"Li Yue-kun, where should we go for a look?"

"To be honest, I don't know either, because this is the Royal Capital of the Dragon Kingdom, a very, very large city."

"Oh! It's the Royal Capital? I didn't know that."

"It was introduced by the Silver-Haired Half-Elf girl who gave a pseudonym during the live stream."

"Indeed, that Silver-Haired Half-Elf introduced this city."

"Huh? I didn't notice at all."

"That... that..."

The three big shots were sitting in a circle, talking to themselves, which made 486's expression stiff. He turned his head to look at the three of them.

"Senior, it's time for us to set off."

"Should we first learn about the basic situation of this world? Li Yue-kun, you're very good at this, aren't you?"

"Hmm, I think it's a good idea, there's still plenty of time."

"Do you have wine and meat? I'd like to try some wine and meat from Otherworld."

"Um, seniors?"

486 couldn't help but speak again.

Li Yue raised her hand and waved at 486.

"Oh, 486, you don't need to worry about us. Just keep doing what you're doing. We've already arrived in this world. If you encounter any problems, just let us know in the group chat, and we'll come right away."

"Huh? Aren't you supposed to be following me?"

"Of course not. Do you expect us to follow you around forever? That's impossible."

Li Yue drew the Enma's Blade from her waist, slashed it in the air, and a super-close Portal appeared next to Subaru.

"I have noted down your Reiatsu. Within the scope of this Royal Capital, I can directly sense your Reiatsu. You can continue doing what you are doing. The three of us are quite curious about this world, so we can wander around. When you need help, just ask in the Live Stream Room or group."

"That's all for now. See you later!"

Li Yue walked out of the alley as she spoke, and Aizen and Shanks followed her out, leaving Subaru alone in the alley, bending over and sighing helplessly.

"Ha~~ So I'm all alone again."

"But at least I have seniors who can support me at any time, so I don't have to worry about safety! And since the seniors aren't here, I can still woo the beautiful girls on my own without worrying about them stealing my thunder!"

Thinking about this, 486 became excited again.

"Now, let's find Felt first, then retrieve the badge before that woman arrives, and return it to that beautiful girl afterwards!"

486 set off again, heading towards the slums.

The live stream feed switched back to showing 486 alone, while Li Yue and her two companions walked onto the bustling streets to begin exploring the Royal Capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Li Yue-kun, tell me about the situation in this world."

Aizen and Li Yue walked side by side, observing the surrounding streets and asking questions at the same time.

"Huh? Does the Senior Group Leader know a lot about this world?"

Shanks was also observing, but he was quite surprised by what Aizen said. His tone suggested that Li Yue was very familiar with this world.

"Well, although I don't fully understand it, I do know some of the most basic settings."

Li Yue pointed to the royal palace built on a high slope in the distance. Although it was far away, it could be seen clearly.

"The Dragon Kingdom Lugnica, a nation that has made a pact with the Divine Dragon, is protected by the dragon and is safeguarded by the alliance it made with the Divine Dragon, Polkeni, in the past, which has led to the construction of a prosperous nation."

Whether it be war, plague, or even famine, all crises can be avoided under the protection of dragons. Throughout the kingdom's long history, the word "dragon" has never disappeared. However, over-reliance on the alliance and emphasis on the historical record of dragons has made the country too fragile to survive independently. When faced with a situation that threatens the nation, it does nothing but seek power from dragons or prophetic tablets.

"The current situation is that all the royal family members who originally signed a contract with the Divine Dragon have died. Therefore, the Council of Sages who assist the king in governing the country is preparing to elect a new king. There are five people participating in the Royal Selection. All five of them have been recognized by the Divine Dragon and are qualified as Dragon Priestess. That silver-haired beauty is one of them."

"Does even the Royal Selection require the dragon's approval?"

Aizen couldn't help but ask.

"Because a terrible catastrophe occurred in this world hundreds of years ago, there are seven powerful witches in this world, who are known as the Archwitch: Envy, Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Lust, and Vainglory."

"Wait, didn't you say seven? Why did you say eight?"

Shanks counted on his fingers and found there was one extra.

"Just like there are actually four Three Great Generals, Emperor of the Sea, and eight Warlords of the Sea, there are actually eight Seven Witches! That's normal, isn't it?"

"I see, that makes sense... Wait, there are four Three Great Generals? And there's a fifth emperor too!? When did this happen? How come I didn't know!"

"Don't worry about the details."

"Is this a detail that doesn't need to be considered?"

Shanks looked at Li Yue speechlessly.

"The seven witches possess extremely powerful abilities, which, when used, could easily overturn the world."

"But in the legend, the Witch of Envy went berserk due to her own witch genes, devouring the remaining six witches. After devouring the six witches, she even devoured half the world, bringing an extremely terrible disaster to the world. In order to save the world, the legendary Three Heroes stood up."

"Sword Saint Astrea, Divine Dragon Polkeni, and Grand Sage Flugel together defeated and sealed away the Witch of Envy, and the world returned to peace. The Grand Sage disappeared, while the Divine Dragon and the Sword Saint joined this Dragon Kingdom. The Sword Saint's descendants still serve as Sword Saint in this kingdom, and the Divine Dragon continues to protect this country."

As for where the sage went, Li Yue made a reasonable guess based on the later plot: he was reincarnated, and the person he became after reincarnation was Subaru Natsuki. This is because the sage's disciple recognized Subaru Natsuki as her master as soon as she saw him, saying that Subaru Natsuki looked exactly like her master.

Furthermore, this Grand Sage must have had a very close relationship with the Witch of Envy, which is why the Witch of Envy is so fond of Subaru Natsuki. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Witch of Envy of Envy to bring Subaru Natsuki into this world and give him the power of Return by Death.

It's probably some kind of story where someone goes berserk, and then, with tears in their eyes, asks their loved one to seal them away, hoping that their loved one's reincarnation will come and kill them personally.

"After the Witch of Envy was sealed away, an evil organization called the Hexenzirkel was born. Although they are called the Hexenzirkel, they only believe in the Witch of Envy and travel all over the world in order to liberate Witch of Envy. Corresponding to the seven Archwitch, they also have seven Archbishop of Sin, each with completely different powers. They are very difficult to deal with and are notorious destroyers in this world."

"The current situation is that the countries are relatively peaceful, and all countries despise the Witch Cult."

"This is the most basic historical background of this world. In addition to this background, the power of this world is also very interesting. Because the atmosphere is full of Magic Power, the power system of this world is based on Magic Power. There are two main schools: magicians and Spirit User. Magicians use the Magic Power in their own bodies to cast spells, while Spirit User absorb magic Magic Power from the atmosphere by forming a contract with elves to cast spells."

Li Yue raised her finger and pointed to the sky.

"Besides that, there is a special ability in this world called Blessing, which is the ability that the Blondie loli Felt used. This world seems to have a consciousness, and it will bestow special abilities on some of its favorites, special magic that they will possess without having to learn it."

"Among them, the contemporary Sword Saint Reinhard is the most beloved person in the world. Ordinary people usually only have one Blessing, and one Blessing is the limit that ordinary people can bear. However, this Sword Saint has more than forty Blessing, and can get a new Blessing anytime, anywhere, as long as he wants. He can even get Blessing that can restrain the enemy at any time in battle."

"Hey, isn't this ability pretty shameless?"

Shanks couldn't help but complain.

After all, nobody wants to be fighting when, halfway through, their opponent suddenly has an ability that counters them. If they already had it from the beginning, that would be one thing, but to suddenly have an ability that counters them after they've learned about their own abilities is just too unreasonable.

"Therefore, this Sword Saint is the strongest in this country, and it can also be said to be the strongest in this world. He even has the Blessing of resurrection. After death, he can be resurrected on the spot, and after being resurrected, he will receive the Blessing of resurrection again. As long as he wants, he can live forever."

"That would be so much fun."

Aizen couldn't help but laugh, and for a moment he thought of the Wishing Soul King from the Bleach world.

"This can no longer be called Blessing; this is an all-powerful wish-granting machine."

"Of course, in this world he can be considered to have a built-in wish-granting machine, but any Blessing has its limit, it's just that no one in this world can reach its limit yet."

Li Yue smiled.

"However, we who come from Otherworld do not belong to this world."

"Oh~~ The strongest Sword Saint in Otherworld, is that it? We, from Otherworld, can certainly go and have a go at him."

Shanks understood what Li Yue meant.

"If you're going to try, why not just go find the strongest power in the world? That would certainly be a good choice."

Aizen nodded affirmatively.

"Then, while 486 is still doing the story mission, let's go find this strongest Sword Saint!"

195. Shanks vs. Reinhard the Virtuous

Sword Saint Reinhard is known to everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

He is hailed as the strongest Sword Saint in history, even surpassing the first Sword Saint who founded the Sword Saint Family. He is the strongest fighting force in the kingdom. It is precisely because of Reinhard's existence that even if the entire royal family of the kingdom suddenly died and the country lost its supreme ruler, the country did not become completely chaotic, because the strongest Sword Saint has a powerful enough deterrent.

Of course, the Divine Dragon is also a factor. The dragon and the Sword Saint can be said to be the most basic guarantee for the establishment of this country, and also the country's safety net mechanism.

Because he was too powerful, the Sword Saint Reinhard was even forbidden from going to the border, as his sudden approach to the border might cause tension in other countries around the kingdom, thus leading to the outbreak of war.

Therefore, Reinhard is usually confined to the heart of the kingdom, centered on the Royal Capital. To the entire kingdom and even the world, he is a mobile humanoid nuclear weapon.

Today, Reinhard was patrolling the Royal Capital as usual. In fact, although Reinhard was Sword Saint, he was also a knight and belonged to the Royal Capital Guard Knights. His job was to patrol the Royal Capital as a knight, but today was his day off.

Even on his days off, he had nothing to do, so he continued to patrol the streets, offering help to anyone in need.

"Um?"

Reinhard, who was patrolling the streets as usual, suddenly sensed something unusual and immediately focused his gaze in a certain direction.

He saw three figures standing in the crowd: a man with Red-Haired, three scars on his face, dressed in tattered clothes and exuding a dissolute air; a man with brown hair, a smiling face, wearing a white robe but giving off a very dangerous feeling; and a man with black hair but several colors highlighted on his face, wearing a black and gold robe that gave off a strange feeling. All three men had a sword at their waists and were staring at him menacingly.
