Chapter 44: Mistaken for a Hero?
Chapter 44: Mistaken for a Hero?
Even if one is a so-called "Child of the World," such an unreasonable power-up is really too much to bear!
Just about a week ago, after defeating the Venomous Dragon, when Yecheng parted ways with Shima Yousuke, he only felt that Shima Yousuke was quite powerful.
However, this time when they met again, Yecheng felt a subtle sense of danger from Shima Yousuke.
In just a week, Shima Yousuke's strength had skyrocketed exponentially!
After all, just half a month ago, Shima Yousuke was still a mere boy who could only crouch and face three burly adventurers.
But in just half a month, his strength had grown to the point where even Yecheng now felt a sense of danger.
They were both transmigrants and had their own cheats, but Yecheng now felt that, except for his looks, which could easily outshine Shima Yousuke, there was no comparison in terms of how they were treated in this world.
Without the boost from his Zanpakutou, Yecheng felt that his current Hakuda, Kido, and Reiatsu levels were enough to easily overpower some Lieutenants in the Shinigami world.
He found that this Otherworld was extremely similar to a game. After defeating some monsters and completing commissions, Yecheng could feel his Reiatsu—magic power—growing stronger every moment, just like leveling up in a game.
Initially, Yecheng was quite pleased with this. His strength in the Shinigami world had entered a bottleneck.
He was not of noble birth and had no special bloodline; he was just an ordinary soul from Rukongai.
There was no denying that talent was innate, and some things couldn't be changed by effort alone.
At first, Yecheng could rapidly grow stronger in the Shinigami world thanks to the foresight of being a transmigrant, but that body still had its limits.
A few years ago, Yecheng noticed that his Reiatsu growth had slowed down. Even with constant rigorous training, the improvements he could achieve were quite limited.
He was not like that orange-haired teenager with a butcher's knife, possessing the bloodlines of Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy, making him a true human cheat. Wherever he went, third-party illegal software would activate.
Most Shinigami had to go through great lengths to master their Shikai, and few could ever achieve Bankai in their entire lives. For the butcher's knife teenager, it was almost as simple as having a hand.
Without cheats, Yecheng believed that achieving Bankai in the Shinigami world would be a lifelong dream.
But after reading other stories about multiverse avatars, Yecheng saw hope. If the avatars in other worlds could also meet certain conditions and achieve "power sharing," they could directly take off.
Whenever he thought about this, Yecheng would laugh foolishly, believing that he was the true protagonist.
However, when he saw Shima Yousuke again, Yecheng immediately felt that, compared to the world's beloved son, he was nothing!
Shima Yousuke had bridged the gap from a weakling to a Lieutenant-level Shinigami in just half a month, a power-up even more outrageous than the butcher's knife teenager in the Shinigami world.
Even in those rags-to-riches novels, they wouldn’t dare write it like this, damn it.
"Yecheng, how did you guys end up here too? Could it be that you also heard about the Blaze Dragon planning to attack this village, so you came to take on the boss?"
When Yecheng and Cui arrived at the village, the villagers who had been chatting idly with Shima Yousuke immediately abandoned him and ran over to Yecheng and Cui.
At their shouts, most of the villagers also came out of their houses and gathered around Yecheng and Cui, leaving Shima Yousuke alone, swaying in the wind.
This wasn't strange at all. Because of his unremarkable appearance, the villagers in this village had always been hesitant to interact with this half-beast-like man.
If it weren't for his claim that he could help the village defeat the Blaze Dragon, they probably wouldn't even have a representative to talk to him.
The Blaze Dragon was too powerful. No matter how much reward they offered, no adventurer would dare to challenge this legendary dragon.
So when Shima Yousuke appeared, even though his appearance was unique, the villagers still approached him with a trial attitude and explained the situation.
However, when Yecheng and Cui arrived, things were different. Both Yecheng and Cui had looks far above the average in this world, and they exuded the aura of true powerhouses!
Compared to Shima Yousuke's homeless style, the villagers naturally trusted the more impressive Yecheng and Cui.
"Are you the brave heroes? Please, you must help us!
The Blaze Dragon appeared in this area a month ago, and it has already destroyed several villages. It's our turn soon."
As soon as Yecheng and Cui arrived at the village, they were surrounded by a large number of villagers and mistaken for the "heroes."
It wasn't surprising that the villagers thought this way. The power of the Blaze Dragon was well-known to everyone in this world.
Since Yecheng and Cui didn't bring an army but dared to come to challenge the Blaze Dragon, they were almost certainly the "heroes."
Moreover, Yecheng and Cui's looks and aura matched the villagers' image of "heroes," so they received a warm welcome as soon as they arrived.
"Excuse me, you didn't finish talking about the divine sword that can defeat the Blaze Dragon. Could you continue?"
The Venomous Dragon had been taken care of by Yecheng, and Shima Yousuke wanted to make a comeback with the Blaze Dragon. So, he quietly found the villager representative again, hoping to get the information he missed.
"Uh, why are you still here... Now that the brave heroes have arrived, they will help us defeat the Blaze Dragon. You should leave before you get yourself killed."
Shima Yousuke: (_;
Shima Yousuke was stunned. The villager's attitude was completely different from before.
When he was clinging to his leg, sobbing and begging for help, the villager was as sincere as could be and answered every question.
But now that Yecheng and Cui had arrived, these villagers instantly changed their flattery target. How could they be so fickle...
