Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

"We can't let this go unchecked; if this continues, the city and everyone will be wiped out!"

The pink-haired girl witnessed the disaster and could not bear it any longer. She quickly flew towards the crashing waves.

The knight, wielding a long spear and riding a celestial horse, gritted his teeth and followed.

Although she didn't know what she could do in this situation, she absolutely couldn't leave Mami Kaoru alone.

"Wait, I'll go too."

Mami Tomoe, recovering from her shock, jumped onto Alice's horse and followed.

Shortly after they left, Altair's figure appeared in the void.

Her eyes were fixed on the catastrophic scene, and she felt a strange sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

It was as if the anger in one's heart had been partially released.

After a long silence, she slowly began to speak, as if she were mourning someone...

"I'm very grateful for your efforts..."

262. Riddles and Influence (4K)

"The explosion that occurred in the city center yesterday has been preliminarily determined to have been caused by a natural gas leak..."

"The rescue operation has been launched by a special task force established by the government, so the public need not worry."

The news reports covered the horrifying incident...

The people who learned about the information from various channels were filled with panic.

"Are you kidding me? That couldn't be a natural gas explosion!"

"Yes, I heard that most of the city was destroyed..."

"Could this be a nuclear attack?"

"If that's the case, the entire city should be wiped out."

No matter what kind of information the authorities release, it's impossible for ordinary citizens like them to trust it.

Anyone with eyes can see that a mere explosion could destroy a city like that.

The government must be covering up some unknown secret...

Most journalists sensed the impending storm and began loitering throughout the city, hoping to uncover the hidden events.

"How magnificent..."

Standing on a high platform in the distance, looking out over the devastated city, Han Ming didn't show much emotion.

The casualties from that "fishing" trip have already accumulated to a considerable number of lives.

The participant was forced to launch a self-destructive attack, making him an indirect perpetrator.

As for whether he felt any guilt, we can only say that he did, but that's about it.

From the moment he began living in the Black Sphere space, he was prepared for the day when he would have to kill his own life to survive.

As for dealing with everything with lofty ideals of "salvation"?

He doesn't believe he has that ability now, and he doesn't think his opponents would let go of such a "weak" opportunity.

The War of Resistance Against Japan was not child's play...

Within his power, he can allow himself to be willful without involving others.

But if you really can't avoid it, you can only face it.

Of course, he doesn't take this for granted or use it as self-hypnosis.

We should have reverence for life...

This is something Han Ming will never give up.

Even if you can easily take someone else's life, you must never be indifferent to life.

When a person can't even see the importance of life, they're not far from a mental and psychological breakdown.

Bearing unknown curses and sacrifices, Han Ming will remember them in his heart rather than avoid or forget them.

This is why he has this "contradiction".

Despite holding the power of life and death, he never acted recklessly or arbitrarily.

He can become a "god" or a "demon," but at least he must still possess the self of a "human" in his heart.

This is also why Han Ming did not have an excessive "mental burden".

He admitted to murder and didn't deny or resist...

Even when wading through a dark mire, one must always keep clear eyes and a clear mind, even if one is covered in mud.

Blackball once said that he was a very "unique" experimental subject.

"That's all the impact it had, and it didn't involve any new individuals."

"Does that mean there weren't many people this time?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Han Ming roughly identified several suspicious locations and muttered to himself.

Letting the incident unfold was also a way to see if other participants would make any moves.

But it seems that apart from collectively going to kill Tsukijoin Masaki, they have no other intentions.

That's understandable... The most valuable character card in this world is "Altay", followed by "Tsukijoin Shinkan".

The rest of the guys aren't worth paying attention to.

This isn't meant to be derogatory, but in terms of usability, few of the main characters can match the strength of the military princess.

Only the ability to distort reality truly makes him worthy of sitting at the same table as Altair.

"However... there is a very interesting guy causing trouble."

"I have no plans to look for anyone else for now," Han Ming said, looking at the magazine in his hand.

He had already spotted the familiar figure on the cover...

To be honest, I was a little surprised when I first encountered this situation.

I had considered whether something similar could be done in "Re:CREATORS", but I didn't expect that someone had already tested it first.

That is to artificially create characters who travel through reality by publishing novels, comics, and animations.

After all, with Altaïr as the "starter," as long as you can make the world more powerful, it's probably possible to create even those worlds of extremely high quality.

For example, "Rufus, Madoka" and so on...

Whether the military princess can defeat the enemy if they are actually dragged out is another matter entirely.

After all, her abilities also have certain limitations...

As the "settings" develop, Altair is also growing.

In the original work, there was a time when he acknowledged that "he is not capable of doing it now."

However, this did not prevent Han Ming from developing a new interpretation of it...

If Altaïr's intention was to destroy the world, perhaps he could offer the other party an irresistible reward in addition to that.

However, this is something that cannot be discussed openly at the moment.

It can only be implemented after all other participants have been cleared out.

"I hope some reckless guy comes to attack again."

It's a bit of a shame; Han Ming actually really hoped those people would take the initiative to speak out.

Yesterday, Shana fell for his "unguarded" illusion and was then stabbed to death.

【Mirror Flower, Water Moon - Life】

That was the enhancement effect on the Zanpakuto series that he originally obtained from the black ball.

Before being attacked, it will inevitably subject the enemy to a moment of sensory manipulation, like a mirage...

Although it only lasted until the enemy's attack missed...

However, it can be said that the opponent is in a position of "must win if they go first".

This is why Shana was still "controlled" even though he didn't take out the Mirror Flower Water Moon at all yesterday.

He used the fleeting effect of a brief moment to deliver a decisive blow to his opponent.

I hadn't really experienced this before, but now it seems really convenient.

It won't be affected by the so-called "first encounter kill," and can even use it to launch a "fatal" attack.

Without this information, anyone would have been outmaneuvered by their own schemes.

"I just don't know if there's a countermeasure like the nested dolls."

It's hard to say whether the remaining participants have any "unique" methods; he plans to take it one step at a time.

.........

"Tch... What an undeserved disaster."

His face was very pale. Sitting in the tent where he had been rescued, clutching his injured shoulder, the man sighed as he recalled yesterday's experience.

Although he had made plans in advance to rent a place in a remote apartment building, the impact still caused the wall to collapse, almost crushing him to death.

As an ordinary person with a normal constitution in a slice-of-life anime, it was truly an unexpected disaster; I was almost caught in the crossfire and killed...

"Beep beep..."

He took out his phone, opened his email, and looked at the contents. He needed to find a new studio as soon as possible.

To avoid delays caused by "discontinuing updates", we must keep urging progress without stopping.

"Speaking of which..."

"If the corresponding character appeared in this world, and his original work was serialized, would it affect the corresponding character card?"

The man pondered, realizing a blind spot in his knowledge.

He wasn't just making things up; he was considering the adaptability of the black ball for all participants.

In order to maintain unity, even if the energy systems are different in different worlds, they can still be used due to the influence of the black sphere.

Sometimes, in order to adapt to the local "race", matching changes are even made.

Since the transformed character cards are also things within the "work," then in this worldview, there is inherently the act of adding "patches" to strengthen or weaken the characters.

Using public weapons to hinder and obstruct...

He was aware of the situation... but didn't know if it was even possible.

Depending on the role the participants transform into, can they intervene using the world's restorative power...?

"No, even if such a phenomenon did exist, it would be very difficult to conduct experiments."

"Unless the opponent has a short-form character..."

He shook his head, then realized it was a difficult and troublesome task.

Just considering his two current works, he has already spent a lot of effort promoting them in order to get them to market quickly.

Moreover, even at the fastest pace, comics and animation still require time.

Even with the availability of novels, it's not like a complete story can be created in a short period of time.

In other words, short stories like "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and "One-Punch Man" have the potential for quick monetization.

However, if they wanted to serialize those medium-length and long stories, they simply couldn't sustain it until the end of the War of Resistance.

This is not a worldview that allows for long-term warfare measured in "years".

In his view, a delay of six months was already an extreme situation.

If things go smoothly, we could get results within a few days or a month.

"They haven't come knocking yet..."

"It's really annoying."
