Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 437 The Black Coffin Brings Misfortune
'Did I get killed by a brick?'

Returning to the scene once again, Z looked bewildered at the men and women of the Hero Association before him.

Was it an accident? Or is there some mechanism I'm unaware of?

After a moment's thought, he regained his composure, staring calmly at the crowd below, before revealing a meaningful smile.

When the thought of giving up comes to mind, I suddenly feel that the world is wide!

Anyway, he can now reset infinitely, returning to this day and this moment indefinitely.

In that case, what do a few minor accidents matter?

With enough experience, he can thoroughly understand everyone's habits and even what they will do that day.

If he continues to experience this, he will become almost an omniscient god who controls all information!

This event is also documented in Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, and Happy Death Day.

With that thought in mind, he completely ignored the many heroes and reincarnators in front of him and walked towards the door with ease.

'Let's enjoy a happy life for thousands of reincarnations first!' Z thought to himself.

Anyway, he's already saved his game here. He can think about how to take down Fang Can after he's had his fun.

With this thought in mind, a gentle breeze swept by, seemingly foreshadowing something for him.
"Click——"

With the sound of shattering glass, a baseball smashed through the window and hit him directly on the head, causing him to black out.

Then, before losing consciousness, he heard panicked voices around him: "The minister has been hit by a ball! Help!"

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away, Peter Parker looked somewhat embarrassed as the baseball flew out of his hand and disappeared into the distance, his face showing a hint of awkwardness, as if he had used too much force.

'An unfamiliar ceiling...'

Half an hour later, Z opened his eyes weakly from the hospital bed, looking somewhat listless.

"President, you're awake." A subordinate's concerned voice sounded from the side. Z subconsciously turned his head and saw his subordinate looking at him with concern.

"What's wrong with me?" Z rubbed his head and sat up.

"You were hit by a tennis ball several kilometers away and are now recovering in the hospital," the subordinate explained.

'Tennis?' Z's eyes were full of surprise.

We've looked back so many times before and never found this, so where did this tennis ball come from?
'No, there's definitely something about Bites the Dust that I can't understand.' Z thought to himself, clutching his head, but then he noticed the hesitant looks on his subordinates' faces.

"What happened?" Z asked.

"After you fell into a coma, the Hero Association decided to launch a full-scale attack on Fang Can, but they were all killed by Fang Can. Then, Tornado and Hellfire were also captured by Fang Can."

The subordinate reported earnestly, "We are preparing to go to the authorities to deal with Fang Can's problem."

"No need." Z waved his hand, not intending to drag it out any longer.

Before fully understanding Fang Can's ability, "Bite the Dust," he was not prepared to continue allowing the world's top powers to besiege Fang Can.

Because every time the attempt to encircle and annihilate Fang Can failed, time would rewind, which was equivalent to the planners drastically cutting off the upper limit of the entire world's combat power.

Thinking this, he looked at his subordinate and was about to reveal Fang Can's secret.

Then, when he came to his senses, he was transported back to the past, standing on the Hero Association's stage, facing the gaze of everyone.

This time he didn't speak, but walked straight out of the room and stood in a different place than in the last reincarnation. He then covered his head and stared out the window.

He wanted to test whether he would still get hit on the head by a baseball after changing his position in this new playthrough.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

After waiting for about ten seconds, nothing happened, and just when he thought everything was calm, he realized that the situation had calmed down.

click-

Another baseball smashed through the window and slammed into his chest, nearly knocking Z unconscious before he collapsed to the ground.

Amidst the gasps of his subordinates, Z's heart grew heavier.

Even after changing positions and choosing to cover my head, I was still hit in other unsuspecting places?
'So...I'm being targeted by this world?' Z thought to himself.

The answer to this question is actually quite simple.

If you want to know if you're unlucky or not, just go find a fortune teller or witch to find out.

Two hours later, Z, still puzzled, boarded a supersonic fighter jet and arrived at Tokyo's most famous fortune teller.

“Sir, ‘Grandma Shibabawa’ is inside,” the subordinate said respectfully, pointing to a tent.

Z nodded lightly and said, "I understand."

After saying that, he stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and saw that there was only an old woman with a wrinkled face sitting cross-legged on a blanket in the tent, with all kinds of Western-style utensils in front of her.

'This must be Granny Shibabawa,' Z thought to himself.

Upon seeing someone lift the curtain and enter, Grandma Shibabawa slowly raised her eyes, but then her previously lowered eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death!"

The moment the wizard saw Z, his face turned as if he had seen a ghost, and he instinctively fell to the ground.

"You...you destroyed the universe?"

The old woman said tremblingly, "I can see that your body has been pierced by the knife of fate, leaving at least hundreds of thousands of marks. Misfortune is like a black coffin enveloping your entire body."

"This is an unprecedentedly bad fate, like dying in a black coffin! How did you manage to live to be so old?!"

'The black coffin is a deathly curse... hundreds of thousands of marks...' Looking at the horrified old man, Z subconsciously wondered, 'Grandma, can you count exactly how many tens of thousands of these marks are?'

"That's too much, at least 30 to start. Each cut is enough to bankrupt a person, yet you've managed to accumulate so much."

At that moment, the old woman's words pierced Z's heart, and he immediately understood everything.

'Every time time is reversed, it weakens my luck, and I've already reversed time more than 300,000 times for experiments. These are all debts I have to repay…'

For a moment, Z almost wanted to curse, and at the same time, he vaguely understood why Fang Can had asked him to be that damn intermediary.

Because in this stitched universe, every time time is reversed, it creates a huge causal relationship, causing great misfortune to the person who reverses time.

This is a problem that the company naturally had to avoid from the very beginning.

The most reasonable approach is to find a scapegoat and let fate focus directly on that person.

Each time the memories were reversed, he retained them, while Fang Can, the culprit, remained completely unaware, and he bore all the blame.

Fang Can used him as a time-reversal filter!
Are you using him as a trap?

In order to test Fang Can's time reversal, he reversed time 35 times in one go, and the price he paid was so high that it could kill an ordinary person on the spot.

'So why am I still alive?' Z couldn't help but wonder. The answer was actually quite simple: Fang Can needed him to live.

He needs to lure all the enemies who pose a threat to Fang Can to his front time and time again.

He then repeatedly shatters time until no one in the entire universe can threaten him anymore, at which point the entire legacy of Bites the Dust will completely dissipate.

Therefore, when Z decides to call on his friends to attack Fang Can, the concepts of inheritance and good fortune will temporarily avert Z's jinx-like luck.

And when Z wants to rest and wants to rely on time reversal to play...

Oh! I'm sorry, I can't do that!
The moment Z wants to rest or have fun, his bad luck reaches its peak.

Then all sorts of bad things will force him to do things that are hostile to Fang Can.

Why did you go against the planned route and attack Fang Can?
Then [Beat the Dust] and [Turning Adversity into Prosperity] will come to attack you.

This ensures Z's survival, but prevents him from enjoying himself, leaving him only able to attack Fang Can repeatedly, only to be repeatedly crushed.

The legacy effect of [Bite of the Dust] completely dissipated once Fang Can achieved a perfect ending to the entire world.

At this moment, as Z vaguely deduced the effects of Fang Can's inheritance, he felt as if his world was collapsing.

This completely blocked him from all sides, forcing him to oppose Fang Can and ultimately leading him to a dead end.

Otherwise, they'll be trapped in a black coffin, facing certain death and unable to live or die.

By the time Z realized what was happening, he was back at the Hero Association headquarters, his eyes filled with despair: 'Damn it, isn't there any other way? This is outrageous!'

In an instant, countless rebellious thoughts surged in Z's eyes: 'You want me to oppose you? I'll defy you! Even if the Black Coffin brings me to my doom, I'll still slack off to the very end!'

He then ignored the members of the Hero Association and turned to walk away.

But before he could even step out the door, he quickly stopped, because he remembered the baseball flying towards him.

Let's talk about it after some time has passed.

As Z was thinking this, a sharp pain shot through his head. A chandelier that had been broken by a baseball hit him on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.

Before losing consciousness, only one thought remained in Z's mind: 'Too sinister!'

Z was awakened by intense pain. Still unconscious, he let out a scream and jumped off the hospital bed.

A nurse, holding a kettle of boiling water, looked at him with innocent eyes.

Before Z could react, he stepped on a circuit board on the ground, which was soaked in hot water, and was immediately jolted stiff by a violent electric shock.

"Damn it, could things get any worse?" Z couldn't help but curse inwardly, but when he turned around, he saw an airplane getting bigger and bigger in his line of sight outside the window.

Before his consciousness completely faded, only one thought remained: '911…'

【2025年7月14日13时30分】

It was that familiar voice again: "We don't need anyone else at all."

"The Fang Can you mentioned..."

Standing once again on the Hero Association's stage, Z stared indifferently at Tatsumaki, who was delivering her declaration of defeat, her eyes filled with a deathly stillness.

Despite our best efforts, we cannot win!
Even fate seemed determined to push him step by step toward the precipice of becoming Fang Can's enemy.

'Then let's fight!'

An uncontrollable rage ignited in Z's eyes, his rebellious spirit completely stirred by Fang Can's outrageous behavior.

Since lying down means death, fighting also means death.

Better to die in the process of fighting!
With this in mind, he looked at the Hero Association in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Everyone! I have a plan to defeat Fang Can, but I need your assistance."

As he spoke, he had already set his goal for this week's playthrough.

The goal is to extract as much detailed information about Fang Can as possible through these people in the Hero Association.

Since these people are the useless ones carefully selected by Fang Can, they will not be eliminated no matter how many times they die.

Since that's the case, let's use these people to maximize the extraction of Fang Can's power limit.

Only by having a sufficient understanding of Fang Can's power can one find a way to defeat him!

Thinking of this, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in Z's eyes; he was determined to fight to the very end!
With this thought in mind, he began to thwart Fang Can time and time again in this endless time loop.

After the 37th cycle, the upper limit of power in this world was reduced to infinite diversity.

After the 40th cycle, the power limit of this world was reduced to that of a single individual.

After another 531 cycles, the power ceiling of this world has been reduced to that of a galaxy.

Finally, after 410372 cycles, Z's expression was filled with exhaustion, and he looked at the crowd below the stage in utter despair.

Not only is the world's power declining, but Fang Can's power is also being elevated in each cycle.

After 41 cycles, the power ceiling of the entire world was completely reduced to the point of exploding a star.

Instead, at the very beginning of this cycle, Fang Can had already reached the fourth level of cultivation, possessing the power to directly contend with the entire world.

After these 41 cycles, new settings such as Mygo, Dark Ultraman, and the Dragon Clan were added to the future of this world, and were synchronized with the past.

The world level is being nerfed, but the boss level keeps increasing with each patch, creating a terrible game environment.

Z closed his eyes and recalled the memories of this life's changes, then couldn't help but sigh.

Before entering this world, Fang Can had already reached the fourth level of cultivation and, under the influence of the sin of greed, declared war on the entire world.

When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.

Through its own efforts in multiple reincarnations, what was originally just a small foundation of Karami has now become the largest organization in the world.

In response to Fang Can's threat, organizations around the world have gathered together at the Foundation's call to discuss how to confront this emperor-level demon.

With this, the timeline of Super Earth was corrected! It returned to the state it was in a few chapters ago.

'The situation is getting worse...' Z sighed deeply as he looked at the crowd below the stage.

He looked at the crowd below the stage and forced himself to speak, "I order you all not to mention Fang Can's real name for the rest of the time."

"Because the other party has the ability to perceive true names, everyone who says this name will be perceived by him."

"In other words, all of our conversations, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, have been eavesdropped on by the other side."

As he spoke, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd below, he looked up and stared straight into the void, saying each word clearly:

"Fang Can, you keep an eye on this place!"

Even if I fail countless times, I will still defeat you!
