Chapter 277: Last Distraction

— Chapter 277 —

Yunlong stood on a block of floating ice and stared at the people he had recruited with a smile on his face. They have a solemn expression on their faces, except for people whose loyalty was guaranteed.

“I won’t say any useless thing anymore,” Yunlong stated while looking at them. “After giving all of you a chance 12 hours ago, I praised your bravery because you’ve chosen well.”

“However, you know the price, right?”

They stared at each other and nodded because Yunlong had shown them Douluo Dalu’s World through illusion. Each of them had a different reason to agree with his proposal, but one thing was sure.

An opportunity to change their destiny lay in this young man.

“Once we agree, we cannot turn back.” They said at the same time.

Yunlong smirked slightly and commanded Neo to find the Summoning Circle coordinate. He witnessed a blinking red arrow and floated slowly to thin air, where Bibi Dong and he arrived in this world.

Since Yunlong hasn’t stayed in this world for too long, he can still sense the catalyst the original placed on the other side.

“I’ll open the gate.” He said while pumping spirit energy into a faint summoning circle.

SWOOSH!

The sea around them abruptly was swept by a powerful breeze, and a black hole filled with warm energy opened in front of them.

“Well, what are you waiting for?”

“The land beyond this portal is a new opportunity for you.”

BOOM!

“BABY, I’m coming for you!!” Mei Hatsumei launched herself with a jetpack and entered the black hole with an excited expression.

The other followed shortly after and left Yaoyorozu’s family in their Yacht alone, which caused Yunlong to stare at them.

Yunlong smiled and playfully asked, “Are you regretting your choice now?”

“No.” Katsuto shook his head naturally. “I just want to confirm something since the other side is a dangerous place.”

“Will Momo be completely safe under your protection?”

“As you’ve witnessed before, my world is far more dangerous than this messy world, but we only have one rule there.” Yunlong raised his index finger casually.

“Your strength is all that matters there.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re alone. As long as you’re more powerful than others, they can’t do anything against you.”

“Of course, mindless killing is out of the option.”

“You would get trampled, and you’ll bleed, but more importantly… You’ll become strong there without being limited by complicated law.”

Momo suddenly jumped onto the sea surface with a surfboard and took advantage of the waves to approach the portal.

“Well, I can’t restrain her anymore,” Katsuto said because his daughter finally rebelled against him.

Kaoru giggled and commented, “It’s not a bad thing, dear.”

“That’s true…” He sighed while looking at Momo’s excited expression.

They followed after their daughter and entered the portal with a mini helicopter.

Yunlong watched these boats float without being controlled and stored them inside his inventory. He glanced at the night sky and waited for a few more people.

“They are surely late.” He commented while looking at the sea.

A few minutes later, a speed boat approached him with a few people.

Yunlong could see Bibi Dong, Eri, Chisaki, David, Melissa, Fainted Himiko, and his grandma, staying on the boat.

“Don’t stop, and just keep increasing the speed.” He commented while creating an ice trail for the speedboat to enter the portal.

David nodded and increased the speedboat’s momentum, accelerating them further as they landed on the ice trail.

SWOOSH!

“I’ll follow you in a minute.” Yunlong said to Bibi Dong.

“There are some cockroaches following us.” Bibi Dong replied while disappearing into the portal.

Yunlong shrugged and saw several boats with blinking red-blue lights coming toward him.

A tall woman with a well-muscled build entered Yunlong’s sight.

She had elegant facial features, narrow eyes, and long flowing blonde hair with eight distinct tufts swept backward and fashioned similarly to All Might.

“Cathleen Bate,” Yunlong said the woman’s name because she was one of the most feared beings for All for One. “The number one hero of the U.S. and the strongest woman around, huh.”

“Star and Stripe.”

Cathleen Bate wore a high-collared skin-tight bodysuit with shoulder pads, boots, and gauntlets. Fitting to her home country and hero name, the upper torso was decorated in stripes, and her gauntlets and collar firmly were studded with metal stars. Completing the outfit was a long, striped cape that resembles the U.S. flag.

Yunlong walked on the sea toward them and noticed Cathleen also approached in the same manner.

“[Unknown], we couldn’t turn blind eyes if after you broke several prisons to free villains from their bounds,” Cathleen commented solemnly.

“So?” Yunlong tilted his head. “What do you want me to do?”

Cathleen looked at Yunlong and wondered what he wanted to do with those villains.

She has seen what this young man was capable of, regarding him as humanity’s threat if he possessed chaotic nature.

The UN has stated not to provoke [Unknown] in any way possible because his ability to cause destruction is beyond common sense.

However, [Unknown]’s moves were out of the limit when he set free some dangerous villains from prisons, which could be a danger to this world.

“I want you to give those dangerous villains back to the prison because we can’t let them roam around freely,” Cathleen answered with a smile.

“Sure.” Yunlong nodded, to which Cathleen responded with a sigh of relief. “However, You have to walk past me first.”

Cathleen’s eyes widened because her stomach suddenly received an unknown force. “Sea… Protect me.” She instinctively used her quirk.

BOOM!

A giant version of Cathleen, made of seawater, emerged and protected her from Yunlong, distancing them quite a bit from each other.

“New Order,” Yunlong commented while looking at the giant Cathleen.

“A quirk that allowed her to set a new rule onto surroundings, allowing them to manipulate and bestow new properties onto themselves and the world around them.”

“This can range from simple descriptions to more conditional ones based on cause-and-effect.”

“Unfortunately, she can’t use more than two rules before canceling the former.”

He watched Cathleen quickly recover from his punch, and she breathed because she got caught off guard, but now she had a reason to attack back.

Several Fighter Jets arrived in the sky and surrounded Yunlong with weapons ready to attack at any time.

“How about this… You’ll receive one sword slash from me, and if you survive. I’ll give those villains back.”

Cathleen canceled her quirk and frowned at Yunlong because, with his tone alone, he didn’t mean to pose any harm to her. As if he just played around and wanted to test something.

She jumped to one of the Fighter Jets and looked down with a complicated gaze.

Bzzt!

“It’s okay, Star.” A voice echoed from Fighter Jet.

“Just trust your feelings.”

“We are here to support you.”

Cathleen smiled and grazed the surrounding air with her hand, feeling a sensation from her quirk.

“The entire atmosphere within a 200m radius will become an impregnable shield to protect us, immune from any slashes attack.” She used her quirk.

Yunlong couldn’t help but smile because Cathleen said “us.” and not just herself because she wanted to protect her comrade. There is nothing wrong with it, and he also found it quite admirable.

However, it was just a pity because her enemy was Yunlong.

“Target’s reaction is minimal.” Fighter Jet’s pilot said. “We haven’t sensed anything weird from him.”

“Truly a pity.” Yunlong’s eyes become Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan immediately.

He stared at them indifferently and created filmy dark energy to surround himself.

“Target has created an energy-based ribcage around himself.”

“This energy is completely unknown and not stored in our database.”

Cathleen observed Yunlong, who seemed swallowed by darkness, and saw a piercing pair of red eyes with spiral symbols gazing into her soul.

BOOM!

The entire sea trembled violently, and Yunlong’s rib cage grew bigger at an alarming rate, forming a giant warrior in armor in front of them.

Yunlong flicked his finger and created an insanely huge Jian sword of spirit energy, equipping his Susanoo with a weapon.

Cathleen skimmed at the Susanoo, which possessed a towering height that seemed to reach the cloud. She could feel her instinct run wild as if one sword slash from this giant warrior could split the entire planet.

“Serene Water Arts: Second Sword.” Yunlong utilized Susanoo to enter a stance.

“I’ll warn you, protect yourself with all you’ve got.”

“Be proud because there is only one person who has received this attack.”

Cathleen took Yunlong’s warning seriously and added one additional rule on the atmosphere. “From now on, The atmosphere shield will protect us from any harm.”

“Judgment Sword.”

Yunlong smirked and performed a downward slash with Susanoo, briefly creating a spark of red lightning.

SWING!

However, Cathleen and her comrade’s eyes soon widened in amazement because the space seemed to be ripped apart by the sword.

As the space tore apart abruptly like a piece of paper, Cathleen could feel the sword’s edge reach her shield. A heavy burden of 100 tons in weight suddenly was placed on her shoulder.

“ARRRGGGHHHH!”

“I WON’T FALL!!!”

“MY WILL IS STRONGER!”

“What a pity, you’re weak,” Yunlong commented while looking at his sword that tore the air shield.

BOOOOOOOM!

Yunlong’s sword separated over 110km of the sea and stopped abruptly above Cathleen’s head.

He landed in front of her and declared, “You’ve lost.”

Cathleen fell and saw the young man staring at her with an amusing expression. Now she finally could see his face without a mask, and as some rumor said, he does look like an angel.

“I won’t give you the villains back, but don’t worry… They are safer to be on my side than staying in this world.” Yunlong commented.

He flicked her forehead and commented, “Nice fight, Cathleen.”

Yunlong teleported himself to the portal and instantly disappeared from this world.

“W-What was that…” Cathleen moved her gaze to the thin air where Yunlong had disappeared a second ago. “Who’s he actually?”

“Brothers…”

Bzzt!

“We don’t know, Star.”

“Maybe a god.” One of them playfully stated.

“A God…” Cathleen shivered slightly as Yunlong’s image entered her mind.

— Night Forest Realm —

Yunlong arrived at the summoning circle and looked around with an amusing expression.

“Well, welcome to my realm.” He greeted them with a smile.

Kaina walked to Yunlong and complained, “Hey, this doesn’t look like what you’ve shown to me before.”

“This place is completely barren with only giant trees.”

“Well, this place is my personal dimension,” Yunlong answered with a chuckle. “Everyone, please stay 20 meters around me.”

They gathered around Yunlong, and the scenery changed abruptly to a majestic Throne Room.

Bibi Dong, who sat on her throne, sensed a connection with her clone again and chuckled inside because Yunlong’s clone finally returned.

The blood clone approached her with a white-haired little girl and merged back with her.

“Ah…” Bibi Dong’s expression flashed between anger, joy, and sadness in a brief moment.

“Mom?” Eri hugged Bibi Dong.

She smiled and whispered, “Just sleep comfortably, Eri.”

“No one can touch you here.”

Mei’s eyes shone in bright light, and she wandered around the Throne Room with an excited look on her face. “Wow, so this is another world.”

Momo nervously stayed with her parents and whispered, “I felt more relaxed and energetic here.”

“Yes, like something is flowing in my body.” Katsuto agreed with his daughter’s statement.

It’s not just Yaoyorozu because every person from My Hero Academia’s world sensed a change in their body.

“Did you feel it?” Yunlong grasped Kaina’s hand.

Kaina frowned and answered, “Yes, there is some kind of internal energy within me.”

“It’s small, but I can feel it.”

“This is Spirit Power.” Yunlong showed them a bundle of energy on his palm, swirling like a ball.

“It makes you able to cultivate the martial soul and become a soul master.”

A white handkerchief floated gently in the air.

“That handkerchief…” Saiko Intelli observed the white handkerchief with a frown because she had observed Yunlong’s fight with All Might.

She glimpsed the white handkerchief could transform into different shapes, splitting into pieces and enlarging to a size of a skyscraper.

“Is that your martial soul, your highness?” Saiko asked while raising her hand.

“Yes,” Yunlong replied with a nod. “Every Spirit Master possessed a martial soul and rarely possessed more than one.”

He explained the cultivation realm to them and made everyone amazed because one actually could reach such a level.

“As you have guessed, the higher your rank, the harder it becomes to increase your rank.”

“However, do you know what happens when your spirit rank reaches level 100?”

“Um, I know.” Momo tried to think about it and found the answer quite silly.

“Yes, Momo? Can you tell them about it?” Yunlong returned gently.

Momo could feel everyone’s gaze and calmed herself.

“When you reach level 100…”

“You can become a god.”
