Chapter 136 10 Thank you, Taylor! (Really Taylor)
"Give me the first move, you idiot man-machine!!!!"
Under Kaiba's strong request, he got the right to attack first as he wished.
"Ahahahahahahaha, let you see my brand new power! Use the ancient white stone of Lv1 to match the blue-eyed sub-white dragon star of Lv8! Spanning the long years, the brilliance of the ancient and the future will intersect, opening up a bright future for me. The future! Synchronic Summon——"
"Lv9——Blue-Eyed Elf Dragon!!!"
The hazy body of the pure white, dreamlike elf dragon appeared in Kaiba's monster area, and roared violently at the man-machine on the opposite side. It was an experimental human-machine provided by Paradis Company. It was equipped with several sets of Hoshimi Hitomi's deck data and an intelligent AI modeled after Hoshimi Hitomi's thinking circuit. It is said that it can exert about 85% of the strength of a real person.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" the laughter echoed in the empty laboratory. This Blue-Eyed Elf Dragon is exactly Kaiba Company's original Synchronic Monster, the Blue-Eyed Elf Dragon, developed under the leadership of Bekas after receiving the "adjustment" and "Synchronic Monster" related data provided by Paradis Company.
[Blue-eyed Elf Dragon] [Effect] [Synchrony]
[Race: Dragon] [Lv9] [Attribute: Light]
[ATK: 2500] [DEF: 3000]
Then the most powerful dragon after evolution was turned into a turtle in the next round. Then Raging Bad Beast, Beast King Alpha and Bigfoot appeared one after another, summoning Kaguya Bomber, and directly attacked Kaiba with 9000 field attack.
"Ah, this will mean a five-game losing streak..." the researcher in the control room muttered to himself, then saw Kaiba's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and wisely closed his mouth.
"...how is the research on dimensional transcendence going?" Kaiba asked in a deep voice. Fighting against a human machine is just fun, but for a real duel, you have to find Muto Yugi and... that bastard who doesn't know where he ran away!
"Ah yes! With the support of the method of opening the door given by Paratis Company and the support of various data, we can already open the door in a specific way! But it is still necessary to achieve directional tracking of coordinates and stable maintenance of transmission. ...A conservative estimate is that it will take 5...no more than 3 years!" The researcher in a white coat said cautiously, fearing to offend his irritable sponsor.
"...Three years?" Kaiba crossed his arms across his chest, and there was some...no, quite a bit of irritation between his brows.
Because the Quantum Cube was taken away from the basic universe by Hitomi Hoshimi, even if there is various data to support it, due to the lack of finished products for reference and experiment, most of these data can only be based on theory. This has greatly slowed down the research process, so the development of the beyond-dimensional system will be slower than the original work.
This point did not change much even after they knew that the door to the elven world could be opened by the collision of the giant monsters. After all, "this" elven world here is just a sub-dimension included in the basic universe.
Opening the passage to the Elf World and opening the passage directly out of the basic universe are as difficult as jumping from the inner version of Chaos Power City directly to the Moeka Ladder Brawl.
"...Then I'll give you three years! After three years, I want to see that bastard talking to himself, alive and dead!" Haima shook his windbreaker and said coldly, "Otherwise , just go to the other side of the dimension yourself and find him back for me!”
The researchers were excited and said loudly: "Yes, President Kaiba!!!"
Afterwards, I started working with more energy than usual, and my enthusiasm increased tenfold!
A week has passed since the PC Cup finals. The cooperation with Paradis Company has also officially entered the right track. The two sides held dozens of high-level talks and initially finalized the general direction of the joint venture duel academy. After that... it was time to discuss personnel and materials.
The impact of the PC Cup has also successfully spread the duel craze. It can be said that duel monsters in the basic universe can already surpass the World Cup, N○A, and Olympic Games, and become a truly world-class sport.
But—none of this has anything to do with Kaiba. All he could think about was playing cards! Play cards with Wang Xiang, play cards with Xiaobiao, play cards with man-machine, and - play cards with Hitomi Hoshimi!
Hoshimi Hitomi, don’t think that running to another universe can cut off our destiny! At the end of cause and effect, I must make a break with you! ! !
In the private office, Kaiba spread his hands flat, dragging his chin with the back of his hands, staring at the autograph of Hitomi Hoshimi, which was nailed to the dart target and riddled with holes, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
…
ZEXAL universe, Xinyuan City, among the ruins of a completely collapsed factory.
"Scavenger... Scavenger... Scavenger!"
In the haze, a distant call came from the ears of Kamdai Lingya.
Scavenger...who is this...oh, it's me. By the way, I'm a scavenger. Black manta ray, clown fish...
He suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over three or four times in a row with the help of the exoskeleton. In the shelter made of the ruins, Ryoga Kamishiro cautiously poked his head out and looked at the figure who had just called him.
The dark diving suit, the manta-like helmet...it was Black Manta, or his legal guardian, Hoshimi Hitomi.
Hoshimi Hitomi was not frightened by his extreme behavior, but just nodded lightly and said in a voice like throat cancer: "It is a good mental state to always be vigilant. But a truly excellent Black Manta will not put himself in a position where he needs others to save him. Remember, Black Manta is always a hero who saves others."
Ryoga was silent under the helmet. He couldn't refute that it was because he lost to the clownfish that he fell to the point where he needed Hoshimi Hitomi to save him.
"I thought... I was the only Black Manta..."
"Yes, you are the only 'real' Black Manta. In the six months since Mr. Kamishiro passed away, I have been wearing Black Manta's uniform, taking over Black Manta's identity, and fighting criminals on behalf of Mr. Kamishiro." Hoshimi Hitomi turned off the voice changer built into the helmet and began to speak in her own voice.
"Remember? 'Because Black Manta hasn't shown up for nearly a week', my original words. This is one of the tests, which tests your ability to collect and process information in an emergency. It's a pity that you didn't notice this at all."
"..." His face was dry, and it was too difficult for a 9-year-old child to handle everything - Kamishiro Ryoga himself knew this very well. However, from the moment he put on the Black Manta uniform, he was no longer Kamishiro Ryoga. He was the Avenger of the Abyss, the natural enemy of criminals - Black Manta. That's all.
Super criminals will not let him go just because he is a child, nor will they just do some small tricks like stealing cakes and lollipops because of some bullshit "grading system".
Just like just now, if Hoshimi Hitomi failed to come to the rescue, a place in Xinyuan City would definitely be blown up by a laughing gas bomb, and his throat would be cut open and his lungs would be pulled out - he had no doubt that Clownfish would definitely keep his word.
"...Where is Clownfish?" Thinking of Clownfish, Lingya immediately asked nervously, and the night vision device in the hood was activated, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
"He escaped during the chaos. It's hard to imagine that his body, which was exhausted, could have such power... Was it the power given to him by the card?" Hoshimi Hitomi pinched her chin and analyzed, "Super fusion... That was a card that originally belonged to another super criminal, 'Shadow Puppet'. It seems that the clownfish used some tricks to get the card and gained extraordinary power from it."
"Well, just like the extraordinary power inherited in the blood of the God Age family, there are some other extraordinary powers in this world, which is not surprising. However, did the clownfish actually pursue the extraordinary? He should be absolutely conceited about his intelligence and disdain those external things... In addition, the hacker Nidhogg who invaded the main control network of Xinyuan..."
The scarlet light flashed in the eyes of Hoshimi Hitomi's hood. He connected to the network and seemed to be checking some information: "I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid that what happened today is just a sign... I hope I'm just too neurotic."
Aside, the scavenger Lingya looked at the super rational, super serious, and super cool Hoshimi Hitomi, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. This is, a real superhero, right? Compared to Hoshimi Hitomi, I was just like a clownfish.
"Hoshimi...Mr." Ryoga Kamishiro spoke in a low voice, attracting Hitomi Hoshimi's attention, "I think... I'm not suitable to be Black Manta. If possible, I hope you can do it--"
But before he could finish, Hitomi Hoshimi waved her hand to interrupt his unfinished words: "I don't mean to blame you. No one can be successful overnight. As far as the first attack is concerned, you did a good job-even outstanding."
"I also went on my first mission when I was about the same age as you are now. At that time, I had many loopholes, vomited and had diarrhea in my battle suit, and was extremely embarrassed. After that, I locked myself in the room and once had the idea of giving up. But Mr. Kamishiro forcibly pulled me out of the room and said something to me. Now, I want to give this sentence to you."
Take off his helmet, and the black-haired and black-eyed Hitomi Hoshimi's head is exposed to the air. He took a long breath, grabbed the chest of Ryoga Kamishiro's battle suit, and raised his helmet in front of his eyes.
With his feet off the ground, Ryoga Kamishiro, who was having difficulty breathing, shuddered all over and looked at Hoshimi Hitomi's dark eyes involuntarily. There seemed to be a flame burning in them.
"What's wrong with your expression, what's wrong with your tears!? Can your tears save innocent citizens!? Can they fight evil!? Can they play a practical role in preventing tragedies!?"
"..." Ryoga Kamishiro opened his mouth slightly under his helmet, wanting to speak, but couldn't say anything. Yes, justice will not be extinguished because of him alone, and evil will not disappear because of him alone. However, he can turn into a torch and pass the fire of justice to the boundless distance, and even - light up this world!
His feet had landed on the ground again without knowing when. Hoshimi Hitomi put on her helmet again, tied up the clownfish men rescued from the ruins and hung them up. On the rocks next to them, their criminal records were inserted with sharp manta ray darts, including possession of firearms, intentional injury, smuggling, drug trading, etc. Anyway, they are all scum who will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison.
"Go back. That's it for tonight. The clownfish is an unparalleled master of anti-tracking, and the possibility of finding him is infinitely close to zero. Instead of being fooled by his misdirection, it's better to follow Nidhogg's clues , and... Ling Ya, you and Li Xu’s training will be put on the agenda.”
Swinging the cape behind him - DC's Black Manta doesn't have a cape, but Hitomi Hoshimi added it for the sake of looking cool. Anyone with a cloak is a strong person—Hoshimi Hitomi strode forward. In the eyes of Kamishiro Lingya, who had encountered a huge change and his head was buzzing, perhaps he felt insecure. Hoshimi Hitomi's not broad back coincided with the familiar back in her memory.
"Yes...Father..." In a trance, the 9-year-old Kamidai Lingya responded vaguely.
Hoshimi Hitomi paused for a moment, then continued moving forward as if nothing happened.
'Father...? I have never thought about whose father I would be...'
Turning over and getting into the Manta car waiting outside the ruins, Hitomi Hoshimi pressed a few buttons in the cab to switch to automatic driving mode. He had no money to buy a car before traveling, but after traveling he had a driver help him drive, so he didn't have a driver's license and had to rely on fire dragons to do it for him. He rolled down the window and watched Kamdai Lingya limping towards this side.
"Cheap toys... are not bad. That's all for now."
"Mr. Hoshimi?" Maybe it was because he noticed the title he shouted out in confusion? Kamdai Lingya's expression was a little awkward, and his eyes were evasive, not daring to look at Hoshimi Hitomi.
"Let's go." Xing Jiantong said calmly as he rolled up the car window. So, let nature take its course as to what will happen in 5 years. Nash...Lingya, as long as you don't regret your choice, that'll be fine.
…
In dirty sewers. A homeless man was holding a square package wrapped in rags tightly in his hands, panting and running wildly.
"Hey hey hey, I saw it, I saw it! I saw where that incredible power comes from!" The homeless man ignored the fact that he was already crying, and opened his mouth to reveal his scorched teeth, and smiled strangely.
Yes, he saw it very clearly - in the afternoon, the gang leader who controlled this area seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He dressed like a madman who had escaped from a madhouse, and he spoke and acted like crazy. But But he possesses incredible power - the source of that power is - the card! Those cards in his hand! [Death Prison Township], there is no mistake!
He was once a powerful gang leader who lost all his money due to gambling and became a homeless man. He risked death and pulled out this deck of cards from the little boss' corpse duel plate, just for power! If that little boss can also acquire that level of power, then so can a low-life bum like him... Oh!
He tripped over a stone under his feet and the package in his hand flew out. But before falling into the sewage on the ground, a strange power appeared, and the cards floated in the mid-air in a hazy red light. At the top, the lifelike Kathu of the great director and drama god seemed to be looking at the ragged homeless man with great interest.
"Power, my power!" The homeless man ignored the dirty sewage, knelt down and took all the cards into his arms, showing a happy smile.
"Hey, power ... hehe, haha, hahahahahahahaha ... hahahahahahahahaha, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The homeless man picked up the shards of glass beside him, and while laughing wildly, he put the sharp tip into his mouth and held it against the corner of his mouth. Then, pull it out hard——
"Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" Blood splashed! Laugh, laugh out loud! Laughter is the best stimulant! Use your crazy laughter to dye the world with the color of my Lord!
...So didn’t you say that? Substitutes, how many are needed, how many are there. The only thing that can restrain them is Hoshimi Hitomi's condition of [not to attack innocent people]. And the most indispensable thing in this world is the despicable scum and the scum who deserve to die.

Glasses Superman: I'll fuck you up!
Chapter 137 11 Harmonious Family Environment (Forcing True)
After hanging the sheets to dry on the pole in the courtyard, Jindai Lingya raised his head and looked up at the rising sun, as if he was in another world.
Yesterday, they were still enduring seemingly endless harassment from vicious relatives competing for family property. Today, they have become the superheroes Black Manta and Oracle. Everything was completely different because of Hoshimi Hitomi's arrival!
Under the Balian black technology (the metaphysical magic of the King of Shanghai) mastered by Hoshimi Hitomi, their sleep efficiency is compressed to 1:10. One hour of sleep is equivalent to 10 hours of mental relaxation. And physical fatigue can be easily eliminated with the help of evil medicine. So last night, after returning to Jindai Manor from the ruins, Hitomi Hoshimi has been training their brother and sister.
3 hours of physical training, not just gentle exercise like long-distance running. Rock climbing, butterfly swimming, parkour and other high-intensity training are all available, which almost tortured the brother and sister to death. However, in order to become qualified superheroes and gain a strong body to fight evil, the two gritted their teeth and persevered, and completed the full training that would make an adult special soldier collapse from exhaustion.
Of course, this is impossible for a 9-year-old child, but when you think about the two of them being the Seventh Emperor of Barian, everything seems very reasonable. Through the examination of the King of Shanghai, it can be found that they have the same chaotic energy in the dimensional channel in their bodies, which is gradually released with high-intensity exercise, slowly transforming their bodies and making them stride towards superhuman.
Well, it just fulfills the setting of "Barian superpowers passed down from generation to generation in the Kamishiro family".
Then there is the 3-hour cultural class training. Here, the courses of the brother and sister are separated. Kamishiro Ryoga is taught by Hoshimi Hitomi to learn various knowledge including lock picking, escape, darts, detective knowledge, etc. Kamishiro Rio is taught by the super AI (Fire Dragon) to learn various hacking skills. Of course, it is impossible to have a complete transformation on the first day, but persistence is the key.
Finally, there is the 3-hour duel course. Their current level is not up to the minimum teaching standard of Hoshimi Hitomi, and even if they teach, it is mostly talking to a cow. Therefore, Hoshimi Hitomi directly threw the two to Fire Dragon and let them fight against human-computer. If you are a novice, practice more, you will always get stronger!
These three hours were the most painful and difficult time for the two brothers and sisters, even more painful than the physical training that exhausted their physical limits. After all, being ravaged by the pie deck for three hours and not allowed to give up, holding up your eyes to watch the AI mechanically unfold is really too mentally polluting. It feels like Zuo Ge was kidnapped and beat the bot!
