Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 326

But now, because of a strange sense of guilt, Suzuki Satoru clearly has no mood to savor the taste of the food.

The desert they were in, called Dolor, is arguably one of the world's most famous tourist destinations.

Every thirty years, a giant tornado with a diameter of several kilometers and an immeasurable height will form. And this tornado, which occurs at the same date and location every thirty years, will always happen at the same time, although there will be some error.

The next tornado is expected to hit soon.

So after listening to the bard's story about the desert, the group set off to join in the fun.

After a two-week trip of sightseeing and enjoying the scenery, despite the great enjoyment, the thought of the NPCs working diligently while the boss was out traveling weighed on him.

A sense of guilt inevitably arose in Suzuki Satoru's heart.

"Everyone at the Great Tomb is so busy, instead of going back to help, we're out here having fun..."

"That's why we should trust the NPCs' abilities even more. Now that we've handed over all the tasks, we can just wait for the results."

Xia Yan, who was already used to being a ruler, simply waved his hand, seemingly quite at ease with Albedo, Demiurge, and the others.

Of course, he wasn't blindly trusting the NPCs' abilities; rather, he was confident.

And the source of this confidence is the power he himself possesses!

Even if things end up in a mess, he is confident that he can use his own strength to set things right.

If an NPC gets into trouble outside, they can simply say that they have connections.

Because Xia Yan is now completely powerless.

Saying he could destroy a star might be a bit of an exaggeration, but to describe his strength as capable of destroying a nation would be an insult to him!

The very concept of a world boss is designed to be a catastrophe capable of destroying the world. While Xia Yan may not be able to shatter a planet, he is certainly capable of shaking the continental plates with his full power.

Therefore, if given enough time to work his magic, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could destroy a planet.

At least in the world today, even if there are some hidden old coins, he is still the absolute pinnacle!

This is not blind confidence.

Before becoming a world boss using the world item [Heart of Nidhogg], he was still very confident in his strength, but he didn't dare to be as arrogant as he is now.

Xia Yan was naturally aware that invincibility was a debuff.

He also didn't want any melodramatic events to happen, such as the invincible Xia Yan falling down, or being inexplicably cut in half.

But his invincibility is not something he claims to be!

The moment he became the world's boss, he could clearly feel the world's rejection of him, but he was helpless to do anything about it.

If even the world couldn't expel him, then it would be virtually impossible for any being born within this world to pose any life-threatening danger to him.

Besides, what gave him the greatest confidence was ultimately the advantage he possessed.

Unlike Xia Yan from One Piece or Xia Yan from Demi-human, who encountered the most needed cheat code at the age when he was most powerless, Xia Yan from the Ainz Ooal Gown world had already developed in other worlds by the time he arrived.

It can be said that they defied fate and took full advantage of the cheat system.

In particular, the demi-human's immortality gave him the confidence to act recklessly.

The resurrection of a demi-human means that even the trace elements in their body will be restored to their state before death.

Even if he encounters a problem he can't solve, if he can't fight it, he can do what the pirate Natsuhiko does and go back to his spatial dimension to AFK.

Anyway, once he returned to the new space, time in his world was completely frozen. He could simply wait for the powerful figure to come back and save the day; as long as he didn't die, there would always be a chance for him to rise again.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Clever Xia ⑨ Chooses to Seek Help

As it turns out, Suzuki Satoru was quite easy to fool.

After hearing Xia Yan say there was nothing to worry about, he felt relieved and prepared to fully enjoy the trip.

Meanwhile, on a stone-paved road outside the fortress city of Yelantil, a carriage sped away from the city.

This is a luxurious carriage drawn by four strong and powerful horses, large enough to comfortably seat six people.

Even nobles, upon seeing this carriage, would undoubtedly assume that the person inside must be a wealthy merchant or a long-established nobleman—and would not dare to underestimate him.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and perhaps because there is no industrial pollution, it is surprisingly bright. Even without streetlights, people can see the road clearly.

Even so, for ordinary people, traveling at night is a rather foolish thing to do.

Even if there's no way to find a place to stay in the nearest city, it would be wise to at least set up camp on the spot and have someone keep watch, spending the night cautiously.

Monsters, beasts, demi-humans...

This world itself is not very friendly to humankind.

Even in the outskirts of major cities, the threat from outside is relatively less, but there is still the threat of man-made disasters such as roaming bandits and mercenaries.

Of course, the danger is relative to ordinary people.

If anything dares to offend this carriage, it will surely meet a very exciting end.

After all, the only beings on this vehicle who can be called human...

Perhaps it was just that unlucky rickshaw driver, unaware of the ominous sign of death flashing above his head, harboring ulterior motives.

"So, Lady Shalltear, could you please give me the coachman who is currently driving the carriage?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, the woman's appearance was so exquisite that it could only be described as a work of art.

Her straight, golden curls cascaded down to her waist, and even with two layers of padding, the abundance of her granary still paled in comparison.

Coupled with her mature and beautiful temperament, she looks like the goddess Sif from mythology descending to earth.

The words that came out of her mouth, and the hollow, evil eyes that made one feel rotten, proved that she was not a goddess who blessed the harvest, but rather an evil god who treated human life as a plaything.

Soliuxiang Epsilon.

The Pleiades are the six battle maids in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and also the third of the Seven Sisters.

This goddess-like appearance is nothing but a disguise; its true form is amorphous mucus.

At first glance, it seems to be a monster similar to a slime, and the creator chose the slime race, Hero-Hero, but in fact they are two completely different monsters.

While slimes can also contort their bodies, they cannot achieve such exquisite mimicry.

The true identity of Solusham is Shoggoth, one of the most terrifying and horrifying monsters in the Cthulhu Mythos.

Riding in the carriage with them were Sebastian and Shalltear, along with two exceptionally beautiful vampire brides, who served as Shalltear's servants and concubines.

It was Sebastian and his group who had been ordered to go out and gather intelligence.

"Oh, is it that little henchman?"

Shalltear paused in her nail-filement, as if considering who the other person was referring to.

"...Sure, judging by its appearance, it doesn't look very appealing when it's sucking blood, Arlins~."

Her tone revealed a casual disdain.

However, this arrogance is not directed at Suo Liuxiang; it's just that his personality has been set up this way.

In Shalltear's eyes, although the other party's position was that of a maid, and she was the guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, it was merely a position bestowed upon them by the Supreme Being.

The purpose was simply to establish a hierarchical relationship between them.

But in essence, as servants created by the same Supreme Being, they are no different from each other.

"Thank you, Lady Shalltear."

The thought of hearing the agonizing screams of his favorite human soon brought a strange, twisted expression to Suo Liuxiang's face.

The eyes droop down, the corners of the mouth curve up, resembling a smile but one that human facial muscles cannot achieve; it's more like twisted clay, giving one a chilling feeling.

The reason this group of people appeared here was to complete the task that Xia Yan had given them half a month ago.

The premise is to conquer the world, explore and acquire information about this world.

Although Demiurge and Sebastian are always arguing because they inherited the relationship between their creators Urbert and Touchme.

However, this did not prevent the two from coming up with a plan to complete Xia Yan's instructions amidst their arguments.

Under Shalltear's bewildered gaze, Demiurge and Sebastian argued their case.

Although Xia Yan said he would cover for any problems that might arise, this also shows that Xia Yan, as the supreme ruler, believes that there are difficulties in this world that cannot be solved by their own power.

At the same time, they didn't want to trouble their most respected Supreme Being to clean up their messes, even for trivial matters.

Therefore, the two agreed that they should not take overly aggressive or direct measures, but rather act prudently.

Based on their appearance, personality, abilities, and other characteristics, it was decided that the group would split into three groups and proceed simultaneously.

Because Sebastian is upright and dislikes using underhanded methods, and his appearance is also more suitable, he was chosen to directly infiltrate human society and befriend the upper class, such as wealthy merchants and nobles.

As a demon, Demiurge could easily conquer the dark side of the country with his demonic wisdom and ruthless methods.

As for Shalltear, who has little intelligence, she uses force to recruit bandits, mercenaries, and the like.

If we encounter someone who has mastered skills or martial arts unique to this world, we must capture them and bring them back to the Great Tomb for research.

We will cooperate with their plans when necessary.

The reason why So Liuxiang is here is that he was chosen by Sebastian to be his assistant.

After all, given Sebastian's appearance, if he were to pretend to be a wealthy tycoon and go around trying to build relationships with everyone, it would be rather beneath him.

Acting as a butler and always being alone would seem somewhat suspicious.

Fortunately, Soliuxiang possesses acting skills surpassing those of top actresses on Earth, enabling her to flawlessly portray the desired demeanor.

Simple characters like willful aristocratic young ladies are practically easy to portray.

As an assassin-type thief, Sebastian possesses the ability to deceive with magical items, which can compensate for the fact that some items cannot be used by Sebastian, who is a pure warrior.

The support work was done perfectly.

Now, half a month later, with the support of Xia Yan's large sums of money, they have successfully fabricated a wealthy merchant family that has settled in the kingdom from other countries due to business issues by using a money-spraying tactic.

Furthermore, they have successfully cultivated an image of being wealthy and powerful in several cities, hoping to integrate into the kingdom and establish connections with nobles and other prominent merchants.

They are now preparing to travel to the capital city of Riestize, intending to make contact with the royal family.

Meanwhile, Demiurge, who was in charge of dealing with the underworld, had successfully brought the Eight Fingers criminal organization, which dominated the entire kingdom's underworld, under his control.

Currently, research is underway to establish ranches to supply leather for the production of low-grade scrolls, through the slave trading and smuggling departments of the Eight Fingers.
