More newcomers arrived

When Naruto Yang Cheng entered the Chaos Space to check in, he discovered two unfamiliar figures besides the One Piece Yang Cheng and Shana Yang Cheng he had met before.

Why call them figures rather than people?

It was entirely because these two newcomers looked far too bizarre...

No, it was hard to call them "people" anymore. "Alien creatures" would have been more appropriate.

One of the two newcomers stood over two meters tall, his entire body clad in black. He had blood-red eyes, a devilish face, and a pair of ragged bat wings on his back.

"Holy shit, is that Devimon...?"

Looking at the demon before him, who practically screamed villain, Naruto Yang Cheng immediately thought of the first major antagonist from a certain anime he had watched as a child.

At Naruto Yang Cheng's remark, Devimon Yang Cheng's face twisted in misery. "You guessed right, bro. I'm exactly the Devimon you're thinking of.

"And what's even more ridiculous is that I'm not some ordinary Devimon. I'm the one living on Infinity Mountain with a whole stash of Black Gears..."

Naruto Yang Cheng: "(･_･; Holy shit, doesn't that make you a villain destined to get taken down?!"

Devimon Yang Cheng: "(−＿−;) It's not like I fucking wanted this! The moment I found out I'd become the Digital World's first villain, I thought about turning over a new leaf.

"But even if I want to be a kindhearted Devimon, circumstances won't fucking let me."

"I told my minions to take all those Black Gears out and destroy them, but those geniuses thought I wanted to control more Digimon. They went straight out and used the Black Gears to get me even more minions.

"And those DigiDestined kids have something fucking wrong with their heads, too. I haven't even done anything to them, have I? Yet every time we meet, they want to kick my ass!

"Even the Ultraman world has good monsters. Why can't there be a good Devimon?

"Does being a villain mean I have to die?"

After sharing Devimon's memories and abilities, the other Yang Chengs present all gave him sympathetic looks.

In his memories, they had seen Devimon Yang Cheng take plenty of measures to clear his name.

Unfortunately, wearing Devimon's skin meant nobody trusted him anywhere.

And everything he did seemed to be twisted by some unseen will, leaving the final outcome utterly at odds with what he had intended.

"Brother, I understand you completely. And I've got it even worse.

"We both ended up as villains, but at least you've got some presence. You're an early-game boss who can take on seven opponents at once.

"Me? I'm fucking different. As villains go, I'm just small fry. One unlucky day, and I could drop dead in the street."

If Devimon Yang Cheng merely looked bizarre, then the other newcomer could only be described as "inhuman."

He did not even have a basic humanoid shape. Instead, he was a mass of sticky blue liquid that looked somewhat like a slime, though he could change his form according to his imagination.

After sharing his memories and powers, the other Yang Chengs quickly understood why he had said a little bad luck could get him killed at any moment.

The other newcomer came from the One-Punch Man world. Unfortunately, rather than becoming a hero, he had turned into a Tiger-level slime monster.

His abilities were dissolution and shapeshifting, along with fairly weak rapid regeneration.

For ordinary humans, the One-Punch Man world was an extremely dangerous place. Monsters ran rampant there, after all.

But for weak monsters, that world was just as dangerous...

After all, who knew whether a casual stroll one day might lead to a chance encounter with a certain bald man who was also out for a walk?

As a Tiger-level monster, One-Punch Man Yang Cheng was currently active in Z City.

Yes, the very same Z City where the bald demon king lived.

It was not that he had never considered moving to another city. But with his strength as a Tiger-level monster, encountering another S-Class... no, even an A-Class hero would not be much different from encountering the bald man.

Whether it was an S-Class Hero or the bald demon king, he could not beat either of them.

So compared with more crowded cities, staying in the sparsely populated Z City was actually safer.

After all, the bald man kept a fairly regular daily schedule. As long as Yang Cheng did not court death by wandering the streets during the day, the chances of running into him were not particularly high.

And to keep up with the Hero Association's movements and intelligence in real time, One-Punch Man Yang Cheng had even joined the Monster Association. He was currently serving as Gyoro Gyoro's assistant.

Gyoro Gyoro, or rather Psykos, could use psychic powers for remote surveillance, while Yang Cheng's shapeshifting ability could help her disguise herself even more effectively.

As such, One-Punch Man Yang Cheng was now one of Psykos's trusted favorites.

Of course, Yang Cheng knew that even with the Monster Association and an organization behind him, his life as a monster was not necessarily safe.

After all, as the plot advanced, it was only a matter of time before the Monster Association was wiped out.

So while helping Psykos with her research, Yang Cheng also studied on the side, putting points into his tech tree in hopes of mutating himself a little further.

As the saying went, the rich relied on technology, while the poor relied on mutation. He was no longer human anyway, so Yang Cheng had no psychological hang-ups about it.

Then an explosion during an experiment engulfed him. At first, he thought he had been sent back to the forge to be remade.

Only now did he realize that his transmigrator cheat had finally arrived.

With his illicit third-party software activated and the pinnacle of monsterhood ahead of him, One-Punch Man Yang Cheng should have been happy.

But after sharing the powers and memories of the Yang Chengs from other worlds, he could no longer feel happy.

They were all Yang Cheng, yet this fucking disparity in treatment was far too great.

Naruto Yang Cheng and One Piece Yang Cheng had both started as orphans, and their worlds were hardly safe, but at least they had been given plenty of time to grow stronger.

There was even less to say about the Yang Cheng from Shana's world. He had started out as a powerhouse. Among all the Yang Chengs who had appeared here so far, he was still number one.

Devimon Yang Cheng was a villain like him, with the threat of being taken down hanging over him at all times.

But after sharing the other Yang Chengs' powers, he might well be able to go back and wipe out the DigiDestined.

And what about One-Punch Man Yang Cheng? He had his cheat now, but with the powers he had currently shared, could he

withstand a single punch from the bald demon king?

They were all Yang Cheng, so why was he the only one stuck with a hell-mode start...?

"Bro, my advice is to keep tagging along with Psykos for now and see whether this space eventually brings in a powerhouse who can go toe-to-toe with the bald demon king.

"If the bald man storms your headquarters someday and no one that strong has shown up here yet,

"you could try bribing him. As far as I know, he's pretty strapped for cash. Treat him to a big meal or pull out a stack of bills, and you might get surprisingly good results..."
