Chat Group

The moment Lin Xiao transformed into Gaia and collided with Golza, the newly established Myriad Worlds Chat Group had already been turned upside down.

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is this thing? It suddenly appeared in my head! Kakashi teacher! Sasuke! Sakura! Can you hear me?"

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "Ara ara, what a wondrous experience. To be able to convey a voice directly into the mind, is it a new Blood Demon Art of that demon? Pray tell, what is your instruction?"

DC Universe, Gotham City.

Inside the Batcave, Bruce Wayne, who had originally been handling the Joker case, instantly froze in motion.

He pressed his left hand onto the alarm trigger in less than a second while his right hand rapidly operated to try and trace this bizarre signal source that had appeared in his mind.

"Unable to trace? How can that be?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, nicknamed [Snow Queen of the Service Club], did not send a message.

She stared at the chat group where "Transforming into a Light Giant and fighting Golza is"

"Light Giant?... Could it be the Light Giant outside!!!"

Real world.

Bang!!!

Accompanied by a loud crash that shattered the glass, Lin Xiao grabbed Golza's thick neck with one hand, forcefully slamming this six-thousand-ton-plus beast directly against an abandoned commercial building!

Reinforced concrete was as fragile as tofu in the face of absolute strength, and the entire building collapsed instantly.

Dazzling purple light had already gathered on top of Golza's head, and the lethal Ultrasonic Ray was about to be spewed out!

Facing the ray that was about to be released point-blank, Gaia advanced instead of retreating!

He slammed his foot forward, and the earth roared once more.

He did not use any fancy techniques, instead relying on the violent kinetic energy bestowed by Earth's Light to deliver a heavy punch directly into Golza's chest!

Boom!

A ring of visible, terrifying shockwave blasted outward!

Inside the chat group, a message suddenly appeared.

[Snow Queen of the Service Club]: "Although I do not know what this is, the red giant named Light Giant is probably pressing a monster over sixty meters tall to the ground and beating it in my world."

Rumble!!!

Accompanied by Yukino's words, Gotham's Batman and the Butterfly Mansion's Shinobu Kocho stirred up monstrous waves in their minds simultaneously.

A sixty-meter-tall monster??

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: Sixty meters? How tall is that?

At this moment in the real world, the battle had reached its end.

Gaia's energy seemed endless, and Golza had completely fallen into a disadvantage.

"Roar..." Golza emitted a fearful wail, struggling as it tried to dig open the earth to escape.

But Lin Ye did not give it any breathing room.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and an extremely high-temperature light-attribute energy rapidly gathered around his head.

Immediately following, Gaia suddenly lowered his head forward.

Gaia Photon Ice Blade!

Swish!!!

A red, high-temperature, dazzling energy stream resembling a long whip slashed toward Golza's body!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!!

This arrogant Ultra-Ancient Monster turned into dust and sparks all over the sky, scattering with the wind, before even its final scream could be uttered.

Over the skies of Chiba Prefecture, the dark clouds were thoroughly swept away by the explosion's shockwave.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast down, plating the red giant on the earth with a layer of sacred golden rims.

[Ding! Detected successful slaying of Ultra-Ancient Monster Golza, guarding earth's order, obtained points: 500!]

The system's prompt tone rang in his ear.

The red giant slowly straightened his body, the timer on his chest remaining as blue as ever, after which his huge body turned into countless warm spots of light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

In the corner of the ruins, the light re-converged into Lin Xiao's human form.

He opened the dead-silent chat group in his mind once again.

[He Is Simply God]: "Alright, the obstacles have been cleared away."

[He Is Simply God]: "Now, we can have a proper chat."

After sending this message, Batman's message popped up immediately.

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "Who are you? Is this so-called chat group yours? And what about this ID of yours, are you a god?"

[He Is Simply God]: "My name is Lin Xiao, and I am also newly joined to this chat group. I am no god, but I might know who you are."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "What do you mean, you understand us?"

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "Are you guys in Konoha too?"

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "My, my, is that a demon-san?"

[Ding! The group leader uploaded the massive memory instance Demon Slayer!]

[Ding! The group leader uploaded the massive memory instance Batman: The Dark Knight!]

[Ding! The group leader uploaded the massive memory instance Naruto!]

[He Is Simply God]: "I have witnessed Miss Shinobu Kocho's tragic resolve to take poison for her revenge, only to be ruthlessly devoured by a vicious demon in the end. Mr. Bruce, you guarded Gotham for a lifetime and ruled it through fear.

I have also watched you, Naruto, sitting alone on the swing through your entire childhood..."

"As for Yukino Yukinoshita... better not to mention it."

[Snow Queen of the Service Club]: "???"

[He Is Simply God]: "We are in the same world, and this world is far too chaotic with everything imaginable. What I used to know is no longer a reliable reference."

[He Is Simply God]: "There have already been enough tragedies. Now that fate has made me Gaia, I will absolutely not allow regrets to replay before my eyes."

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "Waa... no one has ever said such things to me before. You really are a great person!"

[Snow Queen of the Service Club]: "...Mr. Lin Xiao, your gentleness shocks me even more than your strength."

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne fell into a long silence.

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "I have learned a little about this thing called a chat group."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "Its basic function is to allow us barrier-free communication, and we can even make video calls."

"1,000 points allow travel to a group member's world, and points are acquired through daily check-ins and routine activities."

[He Is Simply God]: "Just like you, Batman."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "You just said you wouldn't let tragedies repeat? Aside from understanding us, is your strength very high?"

[He Is Simply God]: "...It's all right, just a tiny bit strong."

The chat group instantly quieted down. Obviously, everyone was in shock as they opened those heavy documents.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"This Batman, he's already starting to probe..."

He stood up, dusted off his coat, and looked up at the neon lights gradually illuminating the streets of Tokyo.

The sounds of police sirens and fire engine wails echoed across the city, and large numbers of Self-Defense Forces and rescue personnel were pouring into the disaster-stricken area.

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked in the direction of his apartment.

However, when he reached his familiar neighborhood, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching into a helpless, wry smile.

The familiar old apartment building was now nothing more than a pile of twisted steel and concrete.

"Well, I just saved the world, and now I'm homeless."

He had no choice but to turn around and walk toward an unaffected park in Chiba Prefecture. There, he would find a simple outdoor tent set up by camping enthusiasts.

It looked like he would just have to make do and spend the night there.
