Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 323

The face that had transformed into a half-demon, resembling a frog, now displayed an expression of extreme fanaticism.

really!

I have not misunderstood Lord Nidhogg's instructions!

Although I had previously presumptuously guessed the thoughts of the supreme beings with my meager wisdom, I was still not certain because they hadn't explicitly stated it. Even though I was 98% sure, I still couldn't be sure.

We can only proceed with timid and cautious planning, so that if there are any discrepancies between the outcome and the expectations of the two lords, we can make amends immediately.

However, now, the words spoken by Ainz Ooal Gown, the supreme leader, have confirmed his suspicions!

They can regard the entire sky as a jewel box and the myriad stars as readily available jewels!

So, besides the supreme beings, who else in this world is worthy of such a precious treasure?

Ainz Ooal Gown's words not only revealed his desire to bring the world under his control, but also his determination to achieve his goal!

After all, something as simple as taking something out of a bag is hardly difficult.

It is precisely because this goal is too simple for the Supreme Beings that Lord Nidhogg arranged for himself and other guardians to use this world as a stage and act as actors to present a wonderful theatrical performance for the two Supreme Beings!

What an astonishing spirit!

At the same time, he couldn't bear to see himself and others, who were the creators, suffer casualties, and promised to personally take action to eliminate all difficulties.

What love and compassion!

That is precisely why we, the guardians, should do our utmost to meet the expectations of the Supreme Beings!

As a demon of the highest rank, Demiurge's nature is naturally evil.

The thought that I had such an honor to personally participate in such a magnificent performance, and to hand over the world to the Supreme Being after conquering it, was truly awe-inspiring.

Demiurge, who always presented himself as elegant and calm, was now trembling with excitement.

They couldn't wait to finish their trivial management tasks and devote themselves to a greater cause.

If Suzuki Satoru could see Demiurge's thoughts, he would probably be surprised again, his whole body glowing green, and he would lament that this was not what he wanted.

All I can say is that this is what the supreme being is like.

The Guardians only need to follow orders and learn to interpret the commands of the Supreme Beings, but the Supreme Beings have many more things to consider.

"By the way, Wu, you should have pretty much confirmed your abilities and equipment by now, right?"

“Ah… um,” Suzuki Satoru paused for a moment after hearing Xia Yan’s words, then nodded.

"They have all been confirmed, although no high-intensity combat tests have been conducted for safety reasons."

"However, it's quite obvious that it's more convenient to release skills than in the game. Well... I should say that the skill ceiling has been raised."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If a battle were to actually take place, compared to my game self, my overall strength should be greatly improved. Although it sounds strange, I should be able to easily defeat my past self."

In fact, Suzuki Satoru's words were not an exaggeration, but rather an overly conservative one.

If he could actually fight his own character in the game, he wouldn't even have a problem taking on two opponents at once.

Previously, he was just an ordinary human being, with significant limitations in both reaction speed and thinking. Even though the game transmits signals through brainwaves, there is still a delay in operation.

It's like a lowly pilot using a game controller to control a Gundam.

Even with its robust build quality, it's still far from being able to fully unleash the potential of a game character.

Now, he has transformed into the true King of the Undead.

It was a leap forward in terms of life level.

It has to be said that his neural reaction speed and thinking speed alone surpass everyone else in the world.

It's like the top pilot has become one with a custom-made Gundam, and no matter how you look at it, it's a world of difference compared to before.

"Really? So what are your plans? After all, even if the Great Tomb of Nazarick has everything, you'd still get tired of staying in there all the time."

"Hmm...that's true..."

Suzuki Satoru pondered for a moment.

However, he still couldn't answer Xia Yan's question.

Although he now possesses enough power to become a king and dominate, he has nothing to aim for and is quite lost.

This situation can also be described as a consequence of over-tightening screws.

Aside from routine work, I don't have any other plans for life. I don't know what I want or what I'm capable of.

Without Xia Yan's presence, he would have unrealistic fantasies that other members of his guild might have also come to this world because of his longing for the friendship he had in the game.

This, in turn, drove him to want to gather his companions by making a name for himself in the name of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Coupled with the influence of the extremely evil NPCs inside the Great Tomb, and driven by various coincidences, he gradually transforms into the Undead King who conquers the world.

But now that Xia Yan is here, Suzuki Satoru has come to see reality.

The two of them ended up in this world because they didn't log off until the very last second before the game shut down.

In addition, even the last guild member to log on—Hei Luo Hei Luo—had more than an hour left before the game shut down.

Not to mention the other members who never logged in, or even deleted their accounts and quit the game.

Therefore, the idea of ​​making Ainz Ooal Gown famous and gathering any possible allies would naturally no longer arise.

"Xia Yanjun, do you have any good suggestions?"

Asking questions when you don't understand has always been one of Satoru Suzuki's strengths.

After all, although he was the guild leader in the game, he basically played a mediating, lubricating role.

Most of the time, deciding which dungeon to tackle involves arguments between Touch Me and Ulbert, with Suzuki Satoru mediating to prevent any conflict from erupting in the heat of the moment, before other members offer further suggestions.

If a result still cannot be obtained, then Xia Yan will make the final decision.

After all, judging from the results, Xia Yan's decisions were always to maximize benefits, and he never made a mistake.

"Since we don't have any ideas, how about we become adventurers together?"

Knowing the other person's personality all along, Xia Yan transformed into the idea king of another world and put forward a suggestion that was not very reliable, but had a high degree of feasibility.

Becoming an overpowered protagonist in a world of swords and magic, showing off, slapping faces, and winning over women—while a rather outdated and clichéd plot, it's also a fairly classic one.

Even if people have lost interest due to aesthetic fatigue and reading too many formulaic stories, most people who have read web novels would probably not refuse to become the protagonist and travel to another world as a form of entertainment.

In terms of combat power alone, "ceiling" is no longer enough to describe Xia Yan; he has clearly broken through the ceiling and is standing on the roof.

All you need to do now is think about how to make yourself happy.

Actually, it's not that he has nothing to do.

Although in the game, his character's composition has almost no room for improvement without modifying the data through technological means, that is a restriction made entirely for the sake of game balance.

It's already unbalanced enough.

Otherwise, such a globally phenomenal massively multiplayer online game wouldn't have been shut down after only twelve years.

The levels in YGGDRASIL are more like training a real creature rather than a simple means of getting stronger in traditional RPGs.

The maximum level represents the ultimate potential of the creature, making further improvement impossible.

This setting seems quite reasonable.

Although many anime and manga settings like to say that human potential is limitless, in reality, every life has its limits.

Just like how human muscles grow through exercise.

However, once a certain level is reached, no matter how much you increase your exercise, control your diet, or even use technological means, you will not be able to improve further.

The lower and upper limits differ between different races.

This is why there is a huge difference in attributes between a max-level human and a max-level alien.

However, the accumulation of knowledge, such as magic, should have no upper limit.

Therefore, after the game data became a real existence, he was no longer restricted by the game balance system and could learn various magics that he had not learned before.

However, even if Xia Yan can learn new skills and obtain a new job level through learning, he will not be able to gain attribute points.

After all, the fact that he has reached the level cap proves that his body has no more potential to become stronger in any aspect.

Unless it shares its own abilities with other worlds later, this needs to be calculated separately.

Of course, all of this is based on the fundamental theories of magic in this world that he has analyzed.

Otherwise, all of the above ideas would be useless.

After all, although he has mastered 98% of 100's own skills, he has not yet reached the level of fully understanding and innovating.

To do this, he would need a large number of books on magical theory for reference.

Although he could do it by working backwards using his existing skills, that would increase his workload exponentially.

Xia Yan would never choose such a thankless and arduous task.

This is one of the reasons why he set conquering the world as his goal, even though he had no grudges against anyone.

As the saying goes, put aside personal ethics, enjoy a life of immorality, refuse mental exhaustion, and go crazy when things get tough. Rather than wronging yourself, make things difficult for others.

For every gain, there is a loss.

With this philosophy in mind, Xia Yan dumped all sorts of troublesome tasks on the guardians who were eager to compete, thus gaining an easy life but also avoiding the hardship of labor.

Going on adventures is not like Ainz Ooal Gown, who gathers information through other means.

Instead, they actually went out to have fun.

It's like having a program running automatically in the background on your computer, then switching to play another game.

He only needs to glance at it every now and then to make sure the backend is running smoothly.

“An adventure in another world! That sounds really good…” Suzuki Satoru was clearly very interested in Natsuhiko’s suggestion, but he quickly pointed to his hollow nose.

"However, in my current state, I'll probably cause trouble wherever I go..."

The skull face looked expressionless, but the tone and rhythm of his voice revealed his utter innocence.

As he spoke, a scarlet light flashed in his dark, empty eye sockets, and an evil aura surged forth like a raging torrent.

Although he has not yet come into contact with any intelligent life in this world, one can conclude without even making contact that his appearance definitely does not qualify him as a good person.

Xia Yan tilted his head, somewhat speechless. "I thought you had some other concerns, but it turns out you're just bothered by something so trivial..."
