Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 528 The sensation caused by King's arrival, are you sure he's not Boros?
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, another seven days had gone by.

These seven days seemed exceptionally peaceful for Earth. No new "dimensional invasion" events that would cause widespread impact broke out. Although there were occasional outbreaks of mutated beast tides within various countries, they were all quickly suppressed.

Countries that lacked the ability to suppress the mutated beast tide had already disappeared after the first and second spiritual energy tides.

Online discussions are gradually returning to topics related to daily life and entertainment.

But at that moment, a message released by the Russian government instantly stirred up a huge wave around the world!

[Moscow, the Supreme News Agency of the Russian Federation]

Today, with immense excitement and pride, we announce at this moment:
Welcome to the legendary hero "King" from the world of "One-Punch Man," who has joined the Russian army and been appointed as our "National Hero Advisor" and "Honorary Chief Instructor of the Special Operations Forces"!

Hero Profiles Revealed (Partial)
Hero Codename: King
Original World: One-Punch Man World (Confirmed)
Real-world identity: Citizen of the Russian Federation, National Hero Advisor, Honorary Chief Instructor of the Special Operations Forces

Main ability: Kamen Rider System (Kamen Rider Den-O Hentai)
Current overall strength assessment level: Tier 7 (defeated the Dragon-level monster Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle in Ashura Mode)

Note: Mr. King is also the first "dimensional being" to officially join our country to date, and the strongest "dimensional being" to descend upon the world!

His joining is an honor for Russia! It will also greatly enhance our country's and even the world's ability to cope with unknown threats in the future.

At first, when people saw the name "King", many wondered which world's "King" it was from; but when they saw the suffix "One-Punch Man World", their first reaction was almost unanimous astonishment, which then turned into laughter.

After all, although King in the "One-Punch Man" world is an S-class hero and the "strongest man on Earth," everyone knows that he is an "ordinary person" who was elevated to godhood due to his own luck and a series of coincidences, and does not have the strength to match it.

This is not the first time someone has entered the real world as an "ordinary person," but it is certainly rare.

But after seeing the Russians bestow upon King the titles of "National Hero Advisor" and "Honorary Chief Instructor of Special Operations Forces," he was somewhat bewildered.

When they saw "Current overall strength assessment level: Tier 7", they were even more confused.

No, they wrote "King" on it? Are you sure it's "King"?

Does King have the strength of a seventh-tier being?

What is the concept of seventh order?
That is the power to rewrite the continental plates, overturn the oceans, easily crush all the creations that modern human civilization is proud of, and completely reshape the surface of the blue planet from a physical perspective!

Even in the "One-Punch Man" world's disaster level classification, it is above "Dragon Level" and exists only in theory as "God Level"!
How could King possibly possess "god-level" power?!
He's King, not Boros, and certainly not the later-stage Hungry Wolf. How could he possibly reach the seventh rank?

Could it be because of the power of "Kamen Rider Den-O"?

They saw the "Kamen Rider Den-O Transformation Device" displayed in King's abilities.

Although it's unknown how King obtained the "Kamen Rider Den-O Transformation Device," and the Kamen Rider System does indeed contain powerful abilities, does Den-O truly possess the strength of a seventh-tier Kamen Rider?
Even if it existed, could King actually use it?
Ryotaro Nogami is a singularity, possessing an Imagin, but King does not.

Even if he possesses the "Rider Pass" of the "Kamen Rider Transformation Device", he can only transform into the basic "Platform Form", right?

He can't transform into other forms, such as the "Holy Sword Form", "Holy Pole Form", or "Holy Axe Form", right?
Under these circumstances, how could he possibly reach the seventh rank?

There's also the "Asura Rhinoceros Beetle" in "Asura Mode" that was defeated.

When did it become a reality?

A monster whose strength reaches the upper-middle level of the Dragon level would be equivalent to a fifth-tier monster in the real world; if it were to descend upon a human city, the impact it would have would be unprecedented.

Before this, they had no idea that the "Asura Rhinoceros Beetle" had arrived.

Could it have landed in a remote, "wilderness" area far from the city?
But why was it King who destroyed it? Had King joined the Russians at that time?

It's impossible that the two of them were born at the same time. If that were the case, King would have died long ago, so where would he get the "Knight Pass" to transform into Den-O?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

One doubt after another, intertwined like a tangled mess, left them feeling bewildered.

The information revealed by the Russian state was too limited, and they could only rely on guesswork to judge the overall picture, but they had no idea what the specifics were.

However, one thing is certain.

That is, the Russian bear country will not deceive them on this point.

It's not that I trust them because of their style of doing things or their international status, but rather that no country would make such an easily exposed "joke" on matters concerning the future and destiny of the nation.

Even a lighthouse wouldn't do that.

Otherwise, they would never have believed that King possessed seventh-tier strength. It wasn't just people from other countries who were shocked by this information; even the people of Russia themselves found it hard to believe.

[Hurrah! Cheers to our mighty motherland and our new hero. Hmm? King? How did he get to level seven? Has One-Punch Man updated?]

Even if it gets updated, it's unlikely that King will become stronger.

The official announcement was far too brief; please explain how King defeated that Asura rhinoceros beetle.

[It's highly likely that it relies on the power of Kamen Rider Den-O, but do Imagin even exist in the real world right now?]

【Although... it's a seventh-tier! A living, breathing seventh-tier! And one of our own, the Russian Bear! Why worry about anything else?】

That's true. Specific details aren't important; ability is what matters most!

[Cheer for King, hooray!]

【.】

While the internet was filled with cheers of "Hurrah!", King himself, at the center of the storm, did not appear in any public occasions, but stayed alone in the accommodation arranged for him by Russia.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a soft carpet, with a huge holographic screen in front of him displaying a vast array of artistic works from the real world.

His face no longer showed the tension he had when he first came into this world; his eyes were filled with undisguised joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.

The entertainment of the real world far surpasses that of the world he lives in!

Although his world also has heroes, monsters, comics, and games, the overall atmosphere is more like a world full of dangers and where you have to deal with monsters at any time. The entertainment products are more or less accompanied by a sense of the heaviness of reality or a more direct utilitarianism.

These works in the real world, whether in terms of subject matter, style, imagination, or creations made purely for "fun", have all reached a level that he finds breathtaking!

During this period, apart from necessary acclimatization training and observation and understanding of Russia, King devoted most of his private time to his curiosity about these works.

First and foremost is his origin from "One-Punch Man".

To be honest, when King first learned from Ivan Reznov that the world he lived in was actually just a work called "One-Punch Man" created by humans in this "real world," he felt incredulous and even absurd.

But after he finished reading the "One-Punch Man" manga and watching the anime, he fell silent.

It's so similar. No, it's not just similar, it's almost exactly the same!
His personality, experiences, hobbies, and even many things he thought only he knew are all presented in his works without any discrepancy.

Even if he wanted to deceive himself into thinking it was a coincidence, he couldn't find any reason to believe it.

Initially, he was somewhat unwilling to accept this fact. Anyone who discovers that their world is a work of art would probably find it difficult to accept easily.

But after forcing myself to calm down and re-examine the work from a more "objective" perspective, I found myself involuntarily immersed in it and even developed a strange fondness for it.

Putting himself aside, he had to admit that "One-Punch Man" is an exceptionally excellent work.

Whether it's Saitama's invincibility masking his loneliness and composure, Genos's unwavering belief in becoming stronger, or the personality and backstory of each hero who appears;

They are still those eccentric people, each with their own unique appearance, bizarre motives, and burdened with tragedy or ambition.
All of this was perfectly presented by the creators with highly dynamic storyboards and explosive drawing skills!
"This is really well written."

King often sighed in admiration when watching the exciting battle scenes and the detailed character portrayals.

He might even temporarily forget that the "King" in the drawing is himself, and purely as a reader, feel excited by Saitama's casual punch that instantly kills, tense for Genos's battles, and moved by the heroes' individual beliefs.

At the same time, it was the first time he had seen the entirety of the world he lived in so clearly, and he saw the position and choices of each character in their destiny.

Perhaps, being depicted so brilliantly and becoming part of such an outstanding work is not entirely unacceptable?

King thought to himself.

Admittedly, people from Russia have tried to explain this phenomenon of "the world of the work becoming real" using terms such as "God plays dice," "quantum observer effect," or "information mapping theory," in an attempt to make him feel better.

But King felt that attributing everything to some unknown "inspiration" or "coincidence" was disrespectful to the hard work and dedication of the creators.

Whether the world he inhabits is the "cause" or the "effect," the "prototype" or the "projection," it cannot change one fact.

That is the work "One-Punch Man" itself, which was built up bit by bit by the creators.
