Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 277: All Gathered in One Place

— Chapter 276 —

“I’ll be frank, your way of explanation is wacky…” David Shield massaged his forehead in frustration.

“Another world and Reincarnation?”

“However, there is no other way to explain your current state, Ryuu.” He added with a wry laugh.

David Shield is a reasonable man with intelligence and a quick-witted mind. He was one of the most renowned researchers in this world and All Might’s sidekick in the past.

He even created a device to enhance All Might’s quirk because the number one gradually became weak.

However, the government took over his device, which caused David to work with a group of villains to retrieve it back. David’s action backlashes greatly because the villains betrayed him.

All Might and Izuku had to stop the villain at the time, or I-Island would get destroyed a month ago. David is now under home arrest because of All Might’s testimony.

He’d go to a worse place than home arrest if All Might didn’t understand his action that day.

Yunlong had explained almost everything that happened to him in the past, and David digested them more smoothly than Recovery Girl.

However, David now has to choose whether he wants to follow Yunlong or not, which isn’t really a choice.

Since Melissa had already agreed with Yunlong to support him, David couldn’t do anything about this.

“Uncle David, you’re a wise man, no?” Yunlong smiled viciously. “I’m giving you a chance to improve yourself right now.”

“Aren’t you curious about a completely new world where your daughter could have power?”

“A world where you only have to obey one person, me.”

“You’re putting me in a tight spot, you know…” David sighed and drank his coffee.

Yunlong shook his head and swiftly scribbled something onto a blank paper, a complex machinery design from Tang San’s memory.

“This is…” David fixed his glasses a little.

“This hidden weapon is called the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle.” Yunlong introduced the Tang Sect’s 2nd rank weapon.

Even though nothing compared to modern weaponry, this old-fashioned machinery weapon contained many complex mechanisms. David scanned the design and worked on his desk solemnly.

He tried to work on the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle’s design but failed at some phases and launched a few sharp needles randomly.

Yunlong caught one needle that almost reached his forehead and commented, “It’s nothing in firepower because there are not many special minerals in this world.”

“Nonetheless, if one made this weapon, even an expert in my current world would die in normal people. In this world’s case, quirkless people can even kill a dangerous villain instantly.”

He patted David’s shoulder and added, “Of course, you need to make it successfully first.”

Yunlong applied hypnotism to David’s mind and whispered flowery words to increase his imagination.

Yet In Melissa’s vision, Yunlong pointed out David’s mistake, showing how much spiritual energy he could control easily without being noticed.

“See… It worked.” Yunlong saw David create a miniature Torrential Pear Blossom Needle with less firepower.

As David triggered the mechanism with his quirk, 18 sharp needles flew swiftly and penetrated the steel alloy in his workshop. “A refined iron penetrated type seven steel-alloy with such ease,” David muttered solemnly.

“If we could apply this to a few modern tools, we might be able to make some breakthrough in an unknown field.”

“We could make this world safer.”

Yunlong had opened a new path for David, making him a crazy man with a great interest in weapons and safeties.

“Everything is perfect now.” He smiled and received information from other shadow clones.

— Southern Ocean —

Several Boats filled with researchers, strong quirk users, and villains waited for Yunlong. They accepted Yunlong’s offer to work for him and received a meeting location from him.

Momo Yaoyorozu sat on her family’s yacht and gradually looked around nervously. “There are so many people here…” She whispered worriedly.

“Are we not going to get exposed to the government? I mean, look at these ships.”

Katsuto frowned because he agreed with Momo’s statement, but a small girl with a famous quirk entered his view.

“No, it’s okay.” He responded calmly. “It seems like he also recruited a person with exceptional hacking ability.”

“Not many people know this, but some companies actually use villains to secure their data from other villains.”

“The satellite, no… The government couldn’t detect us.”

“Hey, Gentle, do you think what that guy said is true?” La Brava asked while sitting on the tip of a boat.

La Brava is a short young woman with a large, round head compared to her narrow body. She has raspberry pink hair, which she styled in two high pigtails.

“Haha… La Brava, we are on the verge of dying. We don’t have that much of a choice.” Gentle laughed gently.

GentleCriminal is a man in a dark purple jacket with enlarged collars and coattails. He has a refined appearance, a slicked-back hairdo with a curl at the front, and sports a handlebar mustache along with a well-kept, medium-sized beard.

La Brava’s eyes shone in lovestruck and saw Gentle spilled tea all over himself because he tried to prepare two cups for her and himself. Well, the sea breeze is quite strong.

“Oh, Baby!” A girl shouted in excitement.

Mei Hatsume is a reasonably short girl with quite a mature build. She has salmon pink hair, which is generally shoulder-length.

She wore a battle suit with utility belts on the waist and steampunk-themed goggles.

Mei used her self-made boat and drove to the southern ocean by herself because Yunlong promised a world where she could create all inventions without any limit.

“I’ll make so many babies there, yeah!” Mei giggled amusingly.

Kyudai Garaki, with some villains, watched these people with a weird expression. He had expected his master to recruit people from the tablet he had given, but to think he gathered this much.

Yunlong contacted him a few hours ago and told him to gather in the southern ocean where the teleportation coordinate actually was located.

“As expected of him.” He grinned viciously.

A boat slowly approached them from afar, and some people were excited because they thought it was Yunlong, but a woman entered their vision instead.

“T-That’s…” A villain shivered in fear.

“Do you know her?”

The villain nodded and whispered, “Lady Nagant.”

Kaina Tsutsumi is a tall woman with a curvy body. She has long, dark blue hair with numerous scattered pink streaks tied up in a ponytail with two shoulder-length strands of hair left to frame her face. Her eyes are purple, with a mauve shade framed by dark blue-colored angled eyebrows.

She wore a prisoner outfit because Yunlong literally just helped her out of Tartarus, a prison where dangerous villains heavily are imprisoned.

“Well, there are so many people here,” Kaina commented while watching the sky.

“Hmm?” She moved her gaze to the north and saw an enormous ship approaching them.

The ship released a loud noise and pointed several canons at them, which caused a panic in the crowd.

Kaina sighed and pulled a small strand of her hair, which turned into a hardened bullet. She raised her right arm and transformed it into a rifle.

BAM!

As a cannonball suddenly was launched at them, Kaina aimed her rifle and triggered the explosion before reaching the crowd.

BOOM!

“You bunch of morons!” A man in a traditional martial art outfit roared.

“You guys are so blind and tried to follow the devil. I’m surprised you guys haven’t realized that monster was from another world?”

“He tried to conquer this world and destroy everything.”

Kyudai sneered and questioned, “What’s your proof?”

“I’ve come from the future. That silver-haired young man is a monster from another world who wanted to claim this land.” The martial artist answered.

“Oh, that’s an interesting story.” Yunlong arrived in the sky. “Me, A monster?”

“How nice of you…”

“My name is Lin Dong, and I’m a true martial artist.” The martial artist solemnly declared. “I’ve witnessed your monster’s cruelty and prepared everything to kill you.”

“Then, you should know my name, right?” Yunlong smirked behind his face mask.

“Y-Your name?” Lin Dong frowned because he didn’t know Yunlong’s name at all.

Yunlong shook his head and scanned Lin Dong’s sheep, finding more than 5000 people with internal energy ready to fight.

He wondered weirdly about this world for a moment because he didn’t remember there was a martial artist faction.

[Scanning…]

[Those people are from a different timeline, Host]

[I assumed this world possessed a branch of evolution lines with chaotic ends]

[If “Lin Dong.” did come from the future, then he must be chased by Singularity to travel here, which he claimed as his world]

[However, that’s not true because this world has a different evolution line, proved by quirk existence]

“What’s Singularity?” Yunlong tilted his head a little.

[Singularity is a 3.5-dimensional creature with unstable power, but they never pass through to the 4th-dimensional level]

[It can be a human, beast, devil, or nameless monster]

[The highest Singularity’s strength ever recorded in my database is around the same class as level ninety-nine, titled douluo]

“Can a Singularity become a god?” Yunlong asked solemnly.

[No…]

[In fact, Singularity is a being who failed to become a god]

[They are simply a failure of the world and gathered resentment to a higher dimension]

[All Singularity possessed the same innate ability, Dimensional Crack]

Yunlong somehow remembered the lich he fought in the north and frowned because that guy’s power doesn’t match Douluo Dalu’s universe.

[Yes, that lich is also a Singularity, but the weakest of his kind]

As Neo confirmed Yunlong’s suspicion, another question appeared in his mind. “Then, what about me?” He stared at the system panel.

[You’re you]

[The only person who possessed the system]

[An Extreme Irregular, who fated for the greatness]

“I don’t know if that was a compliment or not.” Yunlong directly gazed at Lin Dong.

[If my calculation is correct, you’ll trigger a dimensional crack if you killed Lin Dong]

[He got marked by the Singularity]

Yunlong flashed to Lin Dong and kicked him swiftly, launching his body like a ragdoll to the ocean.

COUGH!

Lin Dong coughed blood because Yunlong was more powerful than anticipated, but he could still win. He activated his cultivation technique and began to float off the sea.

“I’ll defeat you, monster.” Lin Dong used his martial technique and increased his strength by a few folds.

“Tiger Punch!”

“I don’t even know you.” Yunlong grabbed his punch and cracked his hand. “And you wanted to kill me?”

ROAR!

Lin Dong roared wildly, and a tiger silhouette entered his body, enhancing his physique again. He kicked Yunlong away and sent several claw slashes at him.

‘He’s around Spirit Saint in terms of power, but his technique…’ Yunlong felt disappointed for some reason.

He slapped Lin Dong’s attacks with his bare hand and approached him without minding any incoming attack.

Yunlong arrived at him and stood there calmly while entering a full-contact karate stance.

“1st stance.” He whispered indifferently.

Lin Dong’s eyes shone and were ready to counter Yunlong’s attack because he remembered this monster’s move.

“Basaltic Fist.” Yunlong aimed at Lin Dong’s chest.

BAM!

Lin Dong dodged like he had seen the same technique many times, but Yunlong unexpectedly added another barrage of punches with his other fist.

“Barrage.” Yunlong’s eyes stared at him.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The southern ocean rumbled with echoes, and Lin Dong couldn’t help but dodge every attack like his life depended on it.

They are floating on the sea, but unlike Yunlong, who mastered the water-walking technique. Lin Dong used light-weighted steps, which consumed little to no stamina yet put a burden on his leg.

The ocean is not the best place to fight, especially for Lin Dong.

Yunlong’s movement suddenly became faster, and a black sword stabbed Lin Dong’s chest.

COUGH!

“W-What…”

“H-How…”

“You seemed to forget that I was a sword user.” Yunlong pulled Greed in a fluid motion and slashed Lin Dong from behind.

[You have killed a fated warrior]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have gained Silver-Sky Technique]

[You have devoured Lin Dong’s soul]

Yunlong closed his eyes, and Ling Dong’s world appeared in his mind, but there is no such thing as a quirk in this world. Everyone there was a martial artist who cultivated internal energy.

Everything was at peace until Singularity in the shape of a silver-haired man arrived on this world. However, this man’s appearance was not even close to Yunlong’s.

If Yunlong has to explain it, this man has the appearance of the sephiroth from Final Fantasy.

[A Dimensional Crack appeared]

A sinister black crack appeared in front of Yunlong, and a silver-haired man with a black sword walked out.

[Scanning…]

[Singularity’s power level: Spirit Rank 87, Spirit Douluo]

“Hmm, this world.” Singularity looked around with a smile on his face.

“Interesting, the internal energy here is thin.”

“Sorry, but you have to die.” Yunlong walked toward Singularity and pointed Greed at him.

“Heh, a weakling dare-…” Singularity couldn’t even finish his word and was burned to nothingness by Amaterasu.

[You have killed Singularity]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have obtained Sword Will Technique and Dimensional Crack Ability]

[You have devoured Singularity’s Soul]

[Warning: Absorbing Singularity’s soul will weaken your soul]

[Since Singularity is a failure of the world. A tiny piece of their soul could make someone fail to reach godhood]

“Cancel it then.” Yunlong shrugged casually.

He sealed the dimensional crack with several layers of Space and Time Seals. He turned around and saw several people looking at him with awe on their faces.

“Now, let’s start the procedure, shall we?”
