Such thoughts were deeply ingrained in Chu Yang's mind.
Transmigrating to such a world filled Chu Yang with a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion from the depths of his heart.
If I can't do anything, what's the point of living in this world?
Chu Yang put down his briefcase and abandoned the idea of escaping with the crowd.
He took one last look at the television, confirmed the location where the Ghost-level Weirdo was sighted, and then left his apartment alone.
Rather than living in constant fear, it's better to bravely choose how to die.
On the street, people dragged their families, driving if they had cars, walking if they didn't, countless individuals trying to get away from the direction where the weirdo was sighted.
Chu Yang was like a reef, swimming against the tide of people.
A kind passerby, thinking he was scared stiff, pulled his arm and said, "Little brother, you're going the wrong way! There's a Ghost-level Weirdo over there!"
Chu Yang pushed away the passerby's hand, nodded in thanks, and then disappeared back into the crowd.
Looking at Chu Yang's retreating back, the passerby seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly dimmed.
And so, fewer and fewer people remained around Chu Yang.
By the time he reached the vicinity of what used to be the busiest park, he was completely alone!
The surroundings were quiet; the city seemed to have died.
"Wuu... wuu... Mama."
Crying came from ahead. Upon closer inspection, Chu Yang saw a small boy standing at the park entrance, and beside him, his Mama was slumped on the ground.
The woman was clutching her lower leg in pain; it was bruised and purple, seemingly broken during their escape, leaving her unable to move.
As the crowd moved further and further away, the boy's mother's face showed despair.
Chu Yang stopped, lost in thought.
Should he go find that Ghost-level Weirdo, or help this mother and son leave?
"Even with my help, they won't get far. In the end, they'll still be caught and killed by the Ghost-level Weirdo. It's meaningless..."
Thinking this, Chu Yang stepped forward, expressionlessly walking around the small boy and his mother.
"Big brother, don't go that way! There's a weirdo there, you'll die!"
The small boy saw Chu Yang, quickly ran up and tugged at his pant leg, crying so hard he could barely speak.
"You... aren't you here to ask for my help?"
Chu Yang was a little surprised.
"Mama said you alone can't help us, and we shouldn't burden you. She told me to tell you to leave quickly!"
The small boy gritted his teeth, trying to cry more softly. Mama also told him to leave quickly, but he simply didn't want to go.
The small boy subconsciously clutched Chu Yang's pant leg, and the latter realized that the boy actually wanted to ask for his help.
Finally, the small boy let go, silently watching Chu Yang leave.
Just as Chu Yang was about to disappear from the small boy's sight, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked back. Without a word, he picked up the woman and carried her on his back.
"Hurry up, the weirdo is coming!"
Hearing Chu Yang's reminder, the small boy nodded ecstatically, and his mother, clinging to Chu Yang's back, kept thanking him.
Chu Yang didn't respond, pouring all his strength into running forward, using the greatest power he had in this life.
Unfortunately...
He was just an ordinary person.
After running for a short while, he was out of breath, and his speed grew slower and slower.
Finally.
At a crossroads, they encountered that Ghost-level Weirdo!
Facing death, Chu Yang was calmer than he expected, while the woman on his back was trembling violently.
The sound of teeth chattering violently reached Chu Yang's ears.
The small boy was bewildered, his expression lost.
Before them was a weirdo covered in black carapace, somewhat resembling a moth. It looked at Chu Yang with a playful gaze and said, "Actually, I've been following behind you all this time, just to watch you struggle to survive. Thanks to you, it was very interesting. If I get the chance, I'd like to see it again."
Chu Yang put the woman down and instructed, "I know you're in too much pain to move, but if you want your child to live, you must move even if you can't."
With that, Chu Yang walked alone towards the Moth weirdo.
The woman understood that Chu Yang intended to buy them time with his life. Crying, she pulled her child and ran to the other side of the street.
The Moth weirdo watched with interest, not stopping them, but instead asked curiously, "What's the meaning of what you're doing? Do you really think you can stop me?"
Taking off his loose tie and tying it around his hand, then pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it, Chu Yang finally replied, "I said from the beginning it was meaningless. But before I die, I want to ask you a question."
"Ask away." The Moth weirdo grinned. It hadn't encountered such an interesting human in a long time.
"Two months ago, did you encounter a girl near here?"
"A girl? Hmm... Oh! I remember now, there was indeed a girl. That day I was in a good mood, out for a stroll, and halfway I felt like I hit something. It turned out to be a person..."
The Moth weirdo laughed hysterically, "She was too weak, like an ant. I didn't even notice her. I was just passing by, and a light bump killed her, hahaha!"
"Hmm, I see." Chu Yang tossed the last cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out, then charged towards the Moth weirdo.
The Moth weirdo scratched its head and lightly waved its hand, sweeping Chu Yang away.
Chu Yang, like a doll, was flung violently onto a car by the roadside. The car door was dented where he hit it, and the glass shattered everywhere.
"Hahaha, you don't actually think you're a hero, do you?"
"Well then... Mr. Hero, I still need to find that mother and son, so I'll be going now. You just stay here and wait to die quietly."
Listening to the Moth weirdo's mocking words, Chu Yang kept spitting blood, and the world in his eyes gradually dimmed.
After an unknown amount of time.
He heard someone calling him.
"Hey, rookie, still sleeping there?"
"Wake up for the meeting!"
99. Chapter 99: Titan Attack! I'm from Konoha Village!
99.
Soul Palace.
Chu Yangs from various worlds gathered again, sharing their experiences from this period.
The newest Chu Yang to join this group came from the One Punch Man world.
Jujutsu Chu Yang patted One Punch Chu Yang's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Life as an office worker isn't easy, is it?"
One Punch Chu Yang nodded in agreement.
The two, having been corporate slaves in their respective worlds, couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie.
Naruto Chu Yang successfully completed the Bloodline Factor extraction of the Otsutsuki Clan, evolving his Sage Mode into Six Paths Sage Mode.
And the biggest beneficiary turned out to be Shinigami Chu Yang.
"I feel my Zanpakuto is about to be born. The power of Yin-Yang Release accelerated their transformation ahead of time."
Shinigami Chu Yang said so.
"They? Two Zanpakuto? That's quite rare in the Soul Society..."
Magic Chu Yang said in surprise.
Among the known Shinigami Captains, there were only two dual-wielders: Captain Commander Head Captain Yamamoto's two most favored disciples—Kyōraku Shunsui and Jūshirō Ukitake.
Kyōraku Shunsui was also the future Captain Commander of the Gotei 13.
"I'm really looking forward to the day the Zanpakuto take shape. What do you think our Zanpakuto will look like, aligning with our soul traits?"
Demon Slayer Chu Yang excitedly looked around, asking his companions for their thoughts. In his world, only two things remained—sword techniques and Breathing Style, so he placed great importance on the birth of the Zanpakuto.
Ordinary swords couldn't bear the full power of Source Breathing, even the wooden swords Chu Yang made with Wood Release were the same.
The First Form: Sun and Moon Rotation, which Marvel Chu Yang used against Destroyer, and the Second Form: Sun and Moon's Radiance, which Jujutsu Chu Yang used to slay thousands of Curse Spirits, both had their power discounted.
Perhaps only a Zanpakuto could unleash 100% of the Source Breathing sword techniques.
Everyone discussed animatedly, but they couldn't reach a unified answer.
Amidst the noise, Demon Slayer Chu Yang walked over to Martial Arts Chu Yang and said, "Can you collect some sword techniques on your way to Mongolia? The sword arts in the Pirate World and Demon Slayer World are too crude; creating just two sword techniques is already the limit."
Martial Arts Chu Yang nodded, indicating understanding. Although in terms of power level, the Martial Arts World was lower than most worlds, in terms of profound concepts like "Law" and "Dao," it was overwhelmingly superior.
For Source Breathing to continue progressing, it must absorb these profound martial arts concepts.
Breathing Style itself originated from the art of internal cultivation.
After many days, Marvel Chu Yang had learned a lot of magic in Asgard. After this sharing, Magic Chu Yang gained much inspiration, and his wandless casting ability improved another level.
He could now cast the Unforgivable Curses effortlessly.
When Marvel Chu Yang returns to Earth, he can use Imperius Curse to infiltrate Hydra in reverse and obtain two of the infinity stones.
A moment later, mist appeared, taking everyone back to their own worlds.
...
One Punch Man World.
The Moth weirdo walked directly past the fallen Chu Yang, slowly heading towards the direction where the mother and son had fled. For it, that human whose life was ending no longer held any amusement.
"Hahaha, these days every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to be a hero. It's truly annoying, all thanks to that strange organization called the Hero Association."
The Moth weirdo recalled the Hero Association, which had been established not long ago, its expression filled with disdain.
So far, none of the self-proclaimed heroes it had encountered could survive its attacks. Many were scared out of their wits, performing even worse than that man just now.
