I'm a villain in the superhero world.

The Eastern Xia Republic was under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China in 2014.

In a realm beyond the mundane, on the three islands of Penglai, which once existed only in ancient books and legends—

An unparalleled sharpness and sword light shot straight up from the highest cliff on Fangzhang Island.

It carried with it some indescribable power, radiating a dark and clamorous shadow capable of shattering everything.

Even the secret barrier set up by the 12th president of the ruling council a thousand years ago could not stop it!

boom!!

Almost without any pause, the pitch-black sword light instantly broke through the three islands' barrier and struck the insurmountable clouds.

Finally, through the dark, long band covering their eyes—a Class S-rank sealed artifact known as the Demon-Sealing Cloth—

The view that appeared before Lü Buyi was the vast expanse of clouds that had been directly split apart by this sword strike.

The breach forcibly cleaved in the Penglai Great Barrier slowly closed.

However, Lü Buyi, the culprit, showed no concern whatsoever for his reckless actions.

On the contrary, the power of this attack...

"My edge has weakened somewhat compared to usual because I've been so focused on the main storyline these past few days that I've become a bit lax—"

"Or is this newly acquired sealed artifact simply too awkward for me to handle?"

He slowly sheathed Dojigiri Yasutsuna, one of the "Five Great Swords of Japan."

Having recently returned from Kyoto, Japan, and taken the opportunity to recapture the sealed artifact numbered 2433—Minamoto no Yorimitsu—Lu Buyi looked at the stolen artifact in his hand and fell into thought.

His thinking didn't last long, because he quickly attributed the cause to the latter.

After all, even if he slacks off a bit, he's unlikely to regress.

It's just that this knife, which looks decent but is actually a cheap, broken knife from the roadside, affected my performance.

However, considering the main storyline—

Lü Buyi raised his head again, his gaze lingering on the brief moment in the early morning when the sun and moon met.

"Unbeknownst to me, twenty-four years have passed since I transmigrated, and the main storyline is finally about to begin..."

Lü Buyi sighed inwardly, recalling the various events that had occurred since his transmigration.

At a very young age, he found himself transported to the superhero universe known as the "BE series" in his previous life because he was part of the "Regulatory Council".

This is a world teeming with demons and monsters, and it was once even listed as one of the worlds that transmigrators should never cross over to.

Celestial arts, magic, psychic powers, alchemy, supernatural phenomena, Titans, myths and legends...

Although these powers are not easy to obtain, they require either special inheritance or special methods.

But this small planet beneath our feet carries far too many crises and creations that could destroy the universe and even affect the multiverse.

Although there are extraordinary events that govern and control the world in this era, and supernatural forces are sealed and contained, everything seems to be peaceful.

There is a gap between the extraordinary and the mundane world.

But in another ten years or so, all of this will be completely different.

There's no other reason than that the major events in the future of this world are far too dangerous.

The ancestral dragon emperor revived beneath the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum; the seven evil Rakshasa gods returned to the city-state of Baghdad.

The collapse of the control structure could lead to a global riot of contained objects...

There are also the Atlantis crisis, the Bassanova invasion, and a series of other global dangers.

All of this initially gave Lü Buyi a headache.

Fortunately, I traveled through time very early.

It predates the timeline of "The Child of Yin and Yang," the pioneering work of the "BE" series and the first serialized manga.

This gave Lü Buyi enough time to plan for his future.

Through the built-in "Popularity Feedback Template," I learned that as the story unfolds, I will also appear in the serialized superhero magazine, and my power will increase based on my popularity...

Lü Buyi's headache improved considerably.

Looking at the popularity feedback template that he had been clicking on frequently recently, and after skipping over the countdown to the start of the main storyline, Lü Buyi checked the rules again.

[Illusion and reality, filled with confusion, can you leave your own legend in this superhero comic universe?]

When you get involved in an already chaotic storyline, can you gain fans and supporters through your actions?

It's important to understand that the world of superheroes has never had a fixed protagonist and villain, nor is there any rule that justice always prevails. So, when you can capture the attention of most people, perhaps this comic book will even have a special issue dedicated to you...

Anyone can be the protagonist of their own story.

[At the end of the single volume of "The Son of Yin and Yang":]

The popularity is on par with the main character, and there is a chance to trigger a hidden mechanism that will lead the comic to a dual male protagonist route. You can change the story's direction based on your own choices and get exclusive character promotion CGs. You can also freely choose an experience to be remade as a special episode.

She ranked in the top 5 in popularity and has been confirmed as a regular character in the next volume.

If a character ranks in the top 10 in popularity, there's a small chance they'll become a regular character in the next volume, but there's a high chance they'll be removed from the main storyline and become a peripheral character.

If your popularity is below the top 20, you cannot interfere with the main storyline and will need to wait until the next story begins before you can be selected again.

It's fair to say that the conditions offered by the popularity feedback template are too favorable.

Even the worst-case scenario is simply that they can't interfere with the main storyline.

As for the concept of "plot-driven death," at least so far, Lü Buyi hasn't found any similar terms in the popularity feedback template.

Even so, in order to ensure that he could obtain the highest reward and survive in future major events,

Lü Buyi still chose to strive for the highest score.

[Character: Lü Buyi (Decision-maker of the Far East Region and one of the Seven Swordholders)]

[Sealed artifacts: Sealing Cloth (SS), Eight Gates Seal (SS), Dojigiri Yasutsuna (S), Taiyin Beast (SSS)...]

Popularity Points: 91 (Redeemable)

Looking at his impressive control panel, Lü Buyi couldn't help but sigh at the results of his years of perseverance and hard work.

They completely ignored the fact that they had used their foresight to grab a bunch of treasures and exchange them for popularity points, and then used all of those popularity points to add stat points.

In short, please add some points to the feedback template!

Lu Buyi wasn't worried at all about whether adding points would cause any problems.

After all, everyone else was just steadily improving, but their strength was superficial and weak.

He ascended to immortality by adding points, and his power became as stable as a rock.

In conclusion, through perseverance, hard work, sweat, and toil, Lü Buyi can now be considered one of the strongest below the demigod level.

It's important to understand that, excluding the ancient gods and taboos whose seals haven't been broken,

And the reclusive immortal of Kunlun and the Death Family that occasionally lingers in the misty city—

Currently, apart from the current president of the ruling society and those immortals who have survived for thousands of years and are considered sixth-level demigods, the rest of the world is...

The highest level that others can reach is the fifth energy level.

Lü Buyi, who possesses the power of Taiyin, is considered one of the best among the fifth-level beings.

So, putting everything else aside, based on this number and scale alone, Lü Buyi dares to guarantee that he will definitely be among the top five most popular characters in the comic series.

As for whether they can rise to the same level as the protagonist...

That depends on how he changes and intervenes in the plot.

"In terms of the fatalism of the moon and the sun, I can play a character with an ambiguous stance in the first few volumes, someone whose stance is unclear as to whether he is a hero or a villain."

"As for character design... popular manga characters can't escape the three words 'beautiful, strong, and tragic'—"

Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Lü Buyi's lips.

He's a perfect, strong, and tragic character... He doesn't even need to pretend to be one.

As the bearer of the power of Taiyin, the contemporary Taiyin Divine Child.

In terms of beauty, even the still-living wife of King Yu, Tushan, could at most be comparable to Lü Buyi.

In terms of combat strength, even if the villains from the first two volumes were tied together, they couldn't withstand a single sword strike from Lü Buyi.

Even those around the Dragon Emperor who were later unsealed, Lü Buyi would never lose to the Taiyin Beast after unsealing it.

Needless to say, it was even more tragic. Not to mention how much pain and torment Lü Buyi endured to accommodate Taiyin at the beginning of his transmigration.

His background alone speaks volumes.

He thought that his entire clan had perished, leaving him the only survivor.

Lü Buyi couldn't help but chuckle in exasperation.

And in the morning sunlight—

This hard-won smile surprised the young woman who had been standing not far behind him.

"That's quite rare, Master—"

Because there was a special message to convey, the retainer who had been serving Lü Buyi since he began practicing swordsmanship there whispered the message to him.

"This is the first time I've seen you smile while practicing your sword. Did you think of something that made you happy?"

Hearing the doubts from his retainers behind him, Lü Buyi withdrew his helpless smile and returned to his calm demeanor.

He slowly turned around, the black band covering his eyes, used to suppress his own power, fluttering in the breeze.

"I guess so..."

Lü Buyi's reply was rather casual, and his words were filled with indifference.

The young woman, who hadn't expected to receive a response, was flattered and lowered her head even further.

She wore a pale white kimono, and her serene face, reminiscent of the snow woman from Japanese folklore, was hidden in her long, snow-white hair.

Moreover, she remained kneeling on one knee to show her respect for the Taiyin Goddess and the head of the family.

So when she lowered her head even further, Lü Buyi couldn't even see her face anymore.

If an unsuspecting outsider were to see this, they would certainly be shocked by the scene.

After all, the young woman kneeling on one knee was none other than Hime Rime, who was known to the outside world as "Snow Princess".

He holds an "S" rating in the Execution Department and is currently a regular member of Takamagahara, one of the nine special mobile task forces in the Asian region.

Why would this blindfolded youth, who stands quietly on the cliff, make him so humble and subservient?

Faced with this situation, others might be curious or moved, but Lu Buyi, the person involved, only felt a headache.

Although he was already used to it, he still felt somewhat helpless about it.

"Get up, Rime. I told you long ago that there's no need to be so reserved in front of me."

Lu Buyi strolled closer, and with a flick of his finger, he made Himemi Rimei's body straighten up.

Even after standing up, Hime Mimi kept her head down, softly murmuring, "How terrified I am."

For Lü Buyi, who had saved him and his teammates from certain death on several occasions—

From the moment Himi Rime decided to become his retainer and serve him for life, she resolved to revere him as a deity.

Lü Buyi didn't dwell on it too much, but continued to ask her why she had come here.

"You're here so early, is there something particularly urgent you need to report?"

Finally hearing the patriarch ask about it, Rimei dared not be negligent and truthfully responded with the information she had received:

"Master, news has come from headquarters that the guild leader will be holding a long night meeting soon—"

"His Excellency Christopher, the Grand Secretary, has been unable to reach you, so he asked me to convey his message that he hopes you will be able to attend in time."

"Oh, and he also said that your fiancée, Miss Hohenzollern, the royal knight of the Western European court, is also on the list of accompanying members."

The governing council held a long night meeting, one of the early stages of the plot...

At this meeting, Zen masters from Dongxia will propose a motion regarding the possible resurrection of the Dragon Emperor beneath the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum.

"I understand, I will be there on time."

"By the way, tell Christopher and that old codger by his side that the blood marriage between Hohenzollern and my family is a worthless piece of paper."

"Don't worry about me doing anything because I hate that woman."

The fact that a long meeting was held overnight was not unexpected for Lü Buyi, who knew the background.

But the news about the woman from the Hohenzollern family really made the Taiyin Divine Child frown.

However, it only lasted a moment before Lü Buyi returned to his indifferent state, his attitude remaining as relaxed as ever.

Stealing a glance at the patriarch, Rime wasn't surprised by his casualness.

But out of duty as a retainer, she still whispered a reminder in a tense voice.

"Master, please forgive my indiscretion..."

"That Miss Hohenzollern is His Excellency King's niece by blood—"

"Regarding your previous annulment of the engagement, will Your Excellency Wang Qi have made any inappropriate responses?"

Lu Buyi never interrupted his subordinate's concerned words, listening until the very end.

Therefore, he could certainly hear the worry in Himi Rime's words.

Therefore, he spoke up—

"Rime, are you worried about me?"

Lu Buyi's voice was calm and composed, showing no particular fluctuations.

"Are you worried that if the other side deliberately makes things difficult, I'll lose to Wang Qi?"

"No, Master, I just..."

"Alright, that's enough. I know what you mean—you want me to be careful, right?"

Seeing that the head of the family had not misunderstood her, Hime nodded slightly in response.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a soft whisper from Lü Buyi.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about that—"

This is what one of the contemporary Yin-Yang Divine Children, the controller of the power of Taiyin, said.

Lü Buyi extended his right hand, which had never held a sword, to the dim moonlight that was backed by the rising sun.

Slowly pull down the demon-sealing cloth covering his eyes a few inches.

Its left eye, which was constantly emitting black energy due to bearing incomplete Yin energy, was revealed.

With just one glance, Li Mei froze on the spot upon meeting Lü Buyi's gaze, as if her soul and blood had been forcibly solidified—

The pinnacle of Yin power, a flawless existence.

Faced with the most yin and darkest eye...

Even a single glance is enough to understand its unparalleled power and strength.

clear……

What is Taiyin? What is the ultimate strength?

It's easy to imagine that if one didn't suppress their emotions most of the time...

What kind of disaster could this unintentional loss of Yin energy cause?

The Taiyin Divine Child, who was in control of all this, merely raised the corner of his left eye, where a dark glint flowed.

He uttered a declaration that only an absolute powerhouse could confidently make.

"If you really have to ask why, there's only one answer."

Amidst the raging winds stirred by the power of Yin, Lü Buyi stroked the black belt in his hand and continued in a low but calm voice—

"because……"

"These Yin Eyes are powerful enough to shatter the entire universe!"

P.S.: This is a new author and a new book. I hope everyone will support me.
