Multiverse Skill System

"Hahaha, Michina, Floria, did you hear that? As a god, he actually said such childish things. I really don't know how he became a god. He doesn't even know the universal law of the jungle."

“Yes! I suspect he may have suffered some kind of brain injury. Poor guy, maybe we should just teach him a lesson and not kill him.”

"This is the first time I've ever met such an innocent guy. He's so funny. I feel like adding him to my harem."

The last guy, who was obviously flat-chested and bloated, said something that made Yi Shuihan feel nauseous. He even regretted not attacking directly and instead said something pointless.

"Of course I understand the law of the jungle, but what I don't understand is, when I am clearly the stronger one, where do you get the audacity to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

"Time Stands Still"

Enveloped by the Time Domain, these three deities, whose realms were even higher than Yi Shuihan's, were instantly turned into statues.

"Huh, where did he suddenly go?"

Michina noticed something was wrong, and her expression changed drastically as she discovered that her companion's body was slowly turning into nothingness.

"died!?"

This bizarre scene left Michina utterly shocked and unable to recover for a long time.

She had come to steal from a weak deity, so how did that weak deity suddenly disappear, while her two companions, who were stronger than her, inexplicably perished?

"Yes, that guy definitely did it. He's terrifying. He must have been hiding his strength. He's definitely not a third-tier god; he's at least a first-tier god. But why didn't he kill me too?"

Michina thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

So why is that?

"Nice figure, but I wonder what your heart is like! But since you said you'd spare my life, I'll spare yours too. Tsk tsk, it would be even better if your head were more aesthetically pleasing."

As Yi Shuihan sped through the universe, a strange smile appeared on his lips as he thought of the last deity he had left behind.

"Even the nameless gods I encounter at random have the strength of Silver 7-star, so it's clear that the twelve main gods of this world are even stronger, at least Silver 8-star. It seems that my initial strategy of keeping a low profile was the right one."

Thinking about returning to Earth as soon as possible and then starting his research on the Jade Disc, Yi Shuihan increased his speed once again.

Meanwhile, on Earth.

After more than half a month of dramatic changes, Earth is no longer what it used to be; it would be an exaggeration to say that it is unrecognizable.

Humans are no longer the sole rulers of Earth. A race of monsters has begun to rise, and these animals, which previously could only appear on human plates or be viewed in zoos, have gained unprecedented power.

Giant beasts hundreds of meters tall are now commonplace, and some even reach thousands of meters. Their immense power allows them to overturn rivers and seas, rendering conventional technological weapons virtually ineffective against them.

The greatest technological achievement to date, the nuclear bomb, has not diminished in power. However, it seems that due to the drastic changes on Earth, its radiation effects have weakened considerably. The aftereffects that used to take hundreds of years or even longer to completely disappear can now be eliminated in just a few days.

Nature has the ability to self-recover, and Earth, which is a hundred times stronger, seems to have enhanced this ability to an unbelievable degree.

Unfortunately, nuclear weapons could not allow humanity to regain its dominant position. The most powerful monsters have reached the point where they can ignore nuclear weapons. For example, the giant gorilla on Skull Island, a behemoth with a height of thousands of meters, was only injured by a nuclear weapon when hit head-on.

Fortunately, humanity is ultimately blessed by the gods. The Sanctuary and various organizations dedicated to protecting humanity have appeared in the world, demonstrating extremely powerful protective capabilities, allowing humanity to continue to fight against the monsters.

Chapter 800, The Brigade and the Tongdao Academy

"Your Holiness, Lord Aiolia of Leo has dealt with the monster tide and is now on his way to location xx."

"I understand. Tell him to be careful."

Pope Shion sat on his papal chair, his expression beneath the mask extremely haggard. Even before the Gold Saints had officially returned to their positions, he had never appeared so exhausted.

Since the great changes in the world, the Pope has been working tirelessly to protect humanity. The threat from monsters is, in some ways, even more troublesome than that of Hades and Poseidon.

After all, Hades, the god of the underworld, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, are old rivals and are quite familiar with each other's Sanctuary system. Their battle, before a winner is decided, will not have a significant impact on ordinary people. In fact, since the difference in the number of people on both sides is not too great, they can basically confront each other head-on.

This monster is completely different. It is made up of plants and animals on Earth, and it is almost ubiquitous across the globe. Its scale is even larger than that of humans, and it is estimated to be in the tens of billions.

Most importantly, the monsters are basically mortal enemies with humans. Whenever they encounter them, except for a very few, they will attack directly. Even though these monsters are so powerful that even a random Gold Saint from the Sanctuary could easily slaughter them, it still takes a lot of time.

The gold diggers have been running themselves ragged lately; often, before they've even finished getting close to one place, another place is already waiting for them.

Not to mention the Gold Saints, even the Silver and Bronze Saints, there are practically no Gold Saints left in the Sanctuary; they've all been sent out on missions.

The Sanctuary was originally a sparsely populated area, but now it has completely changed. Countless people who lost their homes because of the monsters have come to the Sanctuary to seek refuge. The area around the Sanctuary is already overcrowded. In a short period of time, more than 300 million refugees have gathered in the Sanctuary, and this number is still increasing.

For the Sanctuary, managing these people alone is a huge problem. Providing food, maintaining order, and having contingency plans for various situations are all incredibly troublesome.

Ultimately, the reason for this upheaval is that it came too suddenly, and the leaders of the major countries were caught off guard. In addition, although humans have also evolved, their rate of evolution is slower than that of monsters, and their numbers are far fewer, which has led to the current situation.

Most people in human society live in a relatively peaceful environment, and it is difficult for them to adapt to this new world that is like a barbaric wilderness where the law of the jungle prevails.

For example, if a human is faced with a monster of similar strength, his first thought is not to fight, but to run away. In this way, what was originally a 50/50 fight can turn into a massacre.

"Fortunately, the seal on the Demon Star hasn't moved yet, otherwise, this would have been really bad."

Thinking of Tong Hu's recent contact, the Pope felt relieved but also had a hidden worry. After all, the seal on the Demon Star was temporarily safe, but that didn't mean things wouldn't be peaceful in the future. It was a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Dealing with monsters was already difficult enough; if the Specters were to reappear, humanity would face a difficult choice: fight the Specters with all our might or continue to rescue humanity. Choosing the former would be a disaster for humanity, while choosing the latter would mean that even after the Holy War failed, humanity would still be doomed. As for trying to do both, that would be the worst possible choice.

……

"Could I be lost? Is this really Earth?!" Staring in disbelief at the enormous creature before him, Yi Shuihan looked around in astonishment.

"I'm really not bad at directions! And that's the sun! And the moon too, they're all right, just magnified a hundred times."

After five minutes of fully accepting the current situation, Yi Shuihan plunged headlong into Earth.

"The air is a bit fresher, the composition of various substances has not changed, and the gravity has increased slightly, about 12 times that of before." Continuously experiencing the new look of the new Earth, Yi Shuihan finally found that he seemed to like the current Earth more, and he felt much more comfortable staying here.

"Next is..."

They were heading towards Mount Lu when they unexpectedly discovered an interesting scene and immediately stopped.

"Who are you people? Why are you attacking us?"

Maya Natsume warily watched the group of people in front of her, with her younger sister, Aya Natsume, protected behind her.

Previously, the sisters and a group of classmates were out looking for food. After dealing with the monster that had occupied a small supermarket, everyone was quickly moving the food when suddenly a group of people appeared and attacked without saying a word. She managed to dodge the attack because she was alert, but the others were not so lucky. They were all injured to varying degrees, and one person even died.

"Looks like you're not an ordinary person either!"

Nobunaga sheathed his sword and looked at the Maya sisters with interest. Although they were not Nen users, they gave him a faint sense of danger, which surprised him.

The Phantom Troupe has been in this world for quite some time now. Over the past few months, they have gained a considerable understanding of this new world and know their strength levels. Their arrogance from their original world has completely disappeared, and they have become much more low-key. If it were before, he would have definitely killed all of them before ending the matter, instead of holding back like he does now.

They definitely held back, although even so, the other side still lost people.

"You're quite capable. You can take the food for two people and leave with the rest of the others!"

Kuroro looked at the Maya sisters with a strange gaze, feeling an urge to study their abilities, but the image of a certain person in his mind made him forcefully suppress his impulse.

This world is dangerous, with monsters roaming everywhere. Even if their group wants to survive, they have to be careful. If they encounter ordinary monsters, it's okay, but if they encounter monsters that are hundreds of meters tall, they could be injured or killed if they are not careful. This kind of life reminded him of his days in Meteor City.

"Why should we? We were here first, and we were the ones who cleared out the monsters here."

A boy in a school uniform, with a deep scratch on his arm, immediately refused to comply after hearing Kuroro's words.

"Oops!"

Upon hearing this, Maya Natsume's expression changed. She glared fiercely at the boy who had spoken, feeling an urge to kill him. She had no idea how terrifying this group of people was. Each of them exuded murderous intent, the kind that comes from killing at least a thousand people. Such people would kill without hesitation.

"Isn't this Nobunaga? I remember you were already dead, killed by my own hands."

Chapter 801, Let's Talk About Your Abnormal Behavior

Before the members of the troupe could even unleash their killing intent, they were frightened back by these words. They all looked up in horror, and their bodies stiffened when they saw Yi Shuihan.

As someone who had been killed once before, Nobunaga felt this most deeply. He knew in his heart that the other party was the enemy who killed his brother Uvogin and that he should avenge him, but he could not suppress the fear, and his teeth began to chatter involuntarily.

The scene of being nearly killed by Yi Shuihan kept replaying in his mind, and for a moment he forgot to answer Yi Shuihan's question.

Yi Shuihan was suspended in the air, and that alone made it clear to everyone that he was extraordinary.

Zao Zhenye looked at Yi Shuihan curiously, not understanding why the people opposite him reacted this way as soon as he appeared. This was not just fear, but a deep-seated terror.

Clearly, any one of these people is a strong individual, and I might not even be able to defeat one of them, yet they were so frightened by this newcomer. Just how powerful is this newcomer?

Maya and her group arrived in this world along with other worlds on the day of Earth's great change. At that time, there was only one Tongdao Academy, mostly students and teachers, with virtually no combat power.

In the face of the world at the beginning of the apocalypse, if it weren't for Zao Zhenye's own strength, the entire Tongdao Academy would probably have disappeared long ago. Even so, Tongdao Academy currently only has about 100 people left, which is less than one-tenth of the original 1000.

They didn't have time to understand this world at all. They only learned from a few people from this world that it was a new world. Ordinary people don't know anything about the deeper aspects of this world, so the information they received was incomplete. They thought this world was just an ordinary world before. When they met the members of the Phantom Troupe today, they only thought that they had become so strong after the Great Cataclysm.

"I haven't seen the male lead. Is it because it's not the right time yet, or has he not arrived?"

Yi Shuihan recognized the Zao Zhenye sisters at first glance; there was no way around it, their looks were just so memorable.

The system of Maya Natsume's world is actually quite powerful. For example, her sister Aya's ability, Dragon Eye, allows her to see through all things in the past and present, seeing everything in the world, including images of the past and future. It's quite advanced, but it seems that it's not very useful in this world.

This was just a feeling of Yi Shuihan's, but it was probably true. After all, Longyan's ability required the support of a world. Now that it was no longer in its own world, but in a world far more powerful than their own, it was only natural that Longyan would lose its original function.

Do you know a man named Kaze Souichirou?

"Huh?" Aya looked at Yi Shuihan with a puzzled expression after being asked the question. "Are you asking me?"

"Yes, it's you."

"I've never heard of this name."

Unaware of Yi Shuihan's purpose, Ya Ye still answered his question seriously.

"Is this so!"

As expected, she didn't come. But speaking of which, the stories of heaven and earth actually all revolve around her. She can be considered a protagonist. Perhaps she can resolve the situation of male dominance and female decline in our warriors.

And so it was happily decided, to bring her into our possession.

Aya didn't notice the change in Yi Shuihan's gaze, but her sister Maya, who had been watching Yi Shuihan ever since he appeared, keenly sensed that Yi Shuihan had ulterior motives towards Aya.

Without making a sound, he shielded Aya behind him and said to Yi Shuihan...

"I hope you won't make a move on my sister. If you have any problems, come at me instead."

"Forehead!"

Maya's wary look made Yi Shuihan a little sad. He had given Aya a chance, so how could she be seen as having ulterior motives? And how did she know that he had feelings for Aya before he even spoke? Was it that obvious?

It's obviously obvious!

Generally speaking, outsiders should talk to the leader, but you come in and start talking to a pretty girl. If you don't have feelings for her, then what is it?

Not only Maya, but everyone else also sensed something.

The members of the troupe remained silent, hoping that Yi Shuihan hadn't noticed them. The students on the other side also dared not speak under Yi Shuihan's powerful aura, mainly because his entrance was too shocking.

With the dramatic changes on Earth, it's not that humanity didn't awaken the ability to fly; they just certainly hadn't seen it before.

"I would have liked to come here just for you."

Maya is now an adult, and her figure is even more voluptuous than her sister's, which has made Yi Shuihan's insistence on making the fighter protagonist somewhat waver.

"We'll talk about your business later. Right now, I'd like to catch up with my friends."

Turning around, Yi Shuihan once again faced the troupe.

This immediately put the group on edge, fearing that Yi Shuihan might accidentally wipe them all out.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Now that we're meeting for the second time, we're already in the familiar stage. Remember when we first met? You weren't like this! Show your strength and don't be timid. I think you were quite good even when I wasn't around!"

His gentle tone didn't sound like that to the members of the tour group; they felt that Yi Shuihan had been arrogant before he blamed them.

As the leader of the group, Chrollo, though unwilling, had no choice but to step forward. He first gave a forced smile, and then said...

"Sir, is there anything we can do for you? If not, may we take our leave?"

"We just met, why are you leaving? Let's have a good talk."

"Who wants to talk to a pervert like you!" Kuroro cursed inwardly, but outwardly said...

"Then what would you like to discuss, sir?"

"What should we talk about? Let's talk about your perverted thoughts. Tell me yourself, have you done anything shameful to Paknotan? Have you secretly masturbated to Machi's stockings?"

Kuroro: ...

The other members of the troupe were completely bewildered, as were the students from the Tongdao Academy.

I think I heard something incredible?

Chapter 802, Building Collapse

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely eerie, and even the group's fear of Yi Shuihan temporarily dissipated.

As the person mentioned, Paknottan's expression was very strange, a mixture of shame and anger with a hint of peculiar expectation; while Machi tried her best to maintain her indifferent expression, her eyes were slightly vacant.

“Machi’s reaction is normal, but Paknotan’s is problematic, definitely problematic.”

Originally, it was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, something actually came of it, and Yi Shuihan's interest was immediately piqued.
