My two-dimensional resident

Chapter 284 Hades' Counterattack and Ruins (Bonus Chapter)

An hour later, Lin Tian took out a healing pill and tossed it to Bardak, who was lying on the ground. Then, with a grim expression, he pulled Ultear, who was trapped under the boulder, from underneath. He then took out another healing pill and put it into her mouth.

Lin Tian and his team won the battle, but it was an extremely hard-fought victory. If Lin Tian and Bardak hadn't possessed the Apple, a cheat-level energy replenishment "blue potion," the outcome would have been unimaginable.

"I'm sorry, Island Master Lin Tian. I never imagined that people in this world would possess such bizarre abilities."

Bardock never expected that he would be controlled by someone weaker than himself using that strange ability, and he turned against Lin Tian in the face of battle.

"That's a curse spell, it comes at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM). He can stick your hair into a doll and then control your movements."

Lin Tian looked at Ultear at his feet, took out the magic diary that Ilya had given him from his spatial backpack, and responded to Bardock in a calm tone.

In the battle just now, if Lin Tian hadn't been cautious and quickly killed Huayuan Xikar, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory who could use the lost magic "Ugly Hour Descent," thus freeing Bardock from his control and preventing him from transforming into a giant ape, Lin Tian would have had to abandon him and flee the area.

Like other Saiyans, Bardock loses his rationality after transforming into a Great Ape. Faced with the berserk Bardock, Lin Tian, ​​surrounded by members of the Devil Heart, had no chance to cut off Bardock's tail and force him back into human form.

"It's a pity that the guild leader escaped. Island Master Lin Tian, ​​aren't we going to kill this woman?"

Bardak swallowed an apple and saw Lin Tian drawing patterns on the ground that he couldn't understand. He then turned to Urutia and asked.

"I need her to lead us to the Tower of Paradise, which Kikyo and the others visited before they disappeared. Keep watch for me!"

"Yes!"

Lin Tian's setup of the familiar contract magic circle this time went much more smoothly than when he did it in the Inuyasha world. He set up the magic circle in one go without much effort.

"It's time to begin. Hopefully, we'll succeed on the first try..."

Lin Tian threw Ultear into the magic circle. Realizing that she had already woken up but was just pretending to be dead, he used the fourth binding spell, "This Rope," to bind her.

Suddenly bound by an inexplicable force, Ultear screamed and glared at Lin Tian with a resentful expression.

At this moment, Lin Tian didn't care what Ultear was thinking. He held up the magic diary and began to concentrate on chanting the familiar contract incantation.

Half an hour later, Lin Tian removed the rope binding Ultear. Freed from its restraints, Ultear reluctantly stood up, bowing her head and speaking to Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian... Lord."

"Take me to the Tower of Paradise!" Lin Tian put the magic diary into his spatial backpack, and without saying any nonsense, directly ordered Ultear to take him to the Tower of Paradise that Erza and the others had destroyed.

......

"Damn it! The power I've built up over decades has been destroyed by a mysterious man! Lin Tian! I, Hades, swear I will tear you to pieces to avenge this day!"

In a mysterious ancient ruin, Hades leaned against the wall, letting out a low, heart-wrenching roar. From beginning to end, he couldn't understand what ability Lin Tian had used to make their magic ignite. If Lin Tian's strength hadn't been only roughly equal to his subordinates', he too might have been killed by Lin Tian.

"What exactly are those apples and cherries? Why can they restore his strength so quickly? Those things definitely don't exist in this world. What faction does he belong to?"

"Lord Hades, what should we do next...?"

Zul'Dir, who possesses the lost magic "Human Subordination," appears beside Hades. At this time, he is covered in burns. If it weren't for the Protoss's anti-summoning magic that allowed him to enter the Astral Plane, he would now be a speck of dust in the world, just like Zankro.

"Notify Brunot and tell him to return. A mysterious powerful figure has suddenly appeared on this land. It's time for us to gather the other two major guilds of the Balam Alliance to wipe out Lin Tian! As long as he lives, our Dark Guild will never have peace..."

At that moment, a figure staggered into Hades' field of vision, which greatly relieved his gloomy expression.

......

Two days later, three figures appeared on a dilapidated island. Lin Tian tossed the exhausted Ultear aside and expressionlessly surveyed the ruins scattered with building debris.

This is the Tower of Paradise, but it's the ruins left after Erza and her friends destroyed it. Looking at these ruins, Lin Tian was filled with many thoughts.

If he hadn't had the idea of ​​letting Erza gain experience, if he had come to this world with Erza, then the three of them wouldn't have ended up here, and they wouldn't have disappeared...

But there are no "what ifs" in this world... no medicine for regret. Even the powerful and adorable will of Rabbit Island cannot sever the island's connection with this world again, nor can it find the point in time when Erza and the others disappeared on this world's timeline so that Lin Tian can rescue the three of them in time.

"How do I get to Fairy Tail from here?" Lin Tian tossed an apple to Ultear, his tone cold and devoid of emotion.

The mages in this world have stronger physical abilities than ordinary people, but even that couldn't withstand being carried by Lin Tian through the sky at supersonic speeds for two days and two nights.

"Starting from here, head northwest to a port, then you can take a train to..."

Slightly carsick, Ultear took a couple of bites of her apple, then spoke in a choked voice, her face full of grievance. As a member of the world's most powerful dark guild, Ultear had never imagined she would become someone else's slave.

"That's enough. Hurry up and finish your apple, we need to leave."

Lin Tian interrupted Ultear's words. Erza and the other two disappeared on the way back to Fairy Tail's waters and did not reach the port, so he did not need to know the route from the port to the Fairy Tail guild.

"..."

Urudia had never seen a man so unkind and indifferent to women. Even though she was now his slave, she was still a beautiful woman of considerable looks. Did he not like women?

In the past two days, she had been using all her charms, but Lin Tian looked at her like she was a corpse. This made Urudia very resentful.

Knowing she was no match for him, Ultear's only hope of escaping him was to use her beauty to gain his trust. But so far, Lin Tian's indifference had driven Ultear to despair.

"gone!"

Chapter 285 An Arrow Piercing the Clouds

A few days later, on this ruined site, a figure flew from the south of the sea. Following the scent of his companions, he landed inside the tower, which was now only half a base.

Bardak entered the tower and came to a fallen stone pillar. He carefully observed Lin Tian and found that his expression was still as gloomy and cold as it had been two days ago. He thought to himself that it seemed he hadn't found that island either, nor had he found the whereabouts of the three of them.

Upon seeing Lin Tian looking at him, Bardak immediately clasped his hands in greeting to Lin Tian and announced his search results.

"Island Master Lin Tian, ​​there is no mysterious island you are looking for within a hundred kilometers of the southern sea area. However, there is an island exuding an evil aura located ninety kilometers to the south. I found some non-human creatures and several mages on the island, but I did not find any trace of Kikyo and the others."

After speaking, Bardock looked up and cautiously observed Lin Tian's expression. Although he was a resident of Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian was emanating an aura that kept strangers at bay. This aura reminded Bardock of his Saiyan king.

Listening to Bardock's description, Lin Tian recalled some plot details. The island Bardock saw this time was inhabited by the demon race, Karna Island.

Besides some demons brainwashed by the magic of the moon who believe themselves to be human, the island also houses Leon Leo Bastia, the senior apprentice of Gray Fullbuster, one of the main characters. The mage Bardock mentioned should be Leon and his companions.

Years ago, Gray and Leon's master, Ur, used "Absolute Ice" to seal away a demon called "Deliora" at the cost of his own life. To prove that his strength surpasses that of his master, Leon wants to thaw Deliora and then defeat it himself.

“I know something about that island. It doesn’t have the ability to make Kikyo and the others disappear without warning. It seems we’ve encountered a blind spot in our search. The island Kikyo and the others encountered may have moved, or it may be a secret realm. It’s not always in this sea area, so ordinary people rarely find it, or those who do find it have disappeared from this world.” Lin Tian nodded to Bardock, and then shared his guess.

Looking at the rows of seagulls atop the stone wall not far away, Lin Tian frowned, lost in thought. In his memory, there were no magical realms or beings more powerful than Acnologia, Zeref, and the like in the Fairy Tail world.

Even the god who cursed Zeref only exists in the background of the story and has never actually appeared.

So who exactly made it so that Kikyo and the others couldn't even use the emergency evacuation app, and that the residents' logbook on Nok's phone couldn't record their experiences?

"Ultear, as the mastermind behind the Tower of Paradise, and a member of the Heart of the Demon, one of the most powerful dark guilds, don't you really know if there are any secret realms or islands in this sea that people can never return from? Or even just some legends..."

Lin Tian pulled himself out of his thoughts, suppressing his inner anxiety, and turned his gaze to Ultear beside him. Although he had asked her this question many times in the past few days, Lin Tian held onto a sliver of hope, trying to get her to recall the information she had overlooked.

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​I truly don't know the island you're looking for. I've traversed the sea route back to the mainland countless times, and I've never encountered anything like the situation you described..."

Ultear lowered her head, listlessly repeating the answers she had given Lin Tian over the past few days. She now knew that the powerful figure before her who had defeated their Demon Heart was not lying; he truly was going to find someone.

At this moment, Ultear was filled with remorse. If only he had told him the location of the Tower of Paradise, Guild Master Hades would not have attacked him, the Demon Heart stronghold would not have been destroyed, and his colleagues would not have been killed.

But it's all too late... Regret is useless...

“It seems we need to seek help from others. Bardak, take Ultear out for a bit.”

"Yes."

Lin Tian glanced at Ultear beside him and said to Bardock in a deep voice. Although Ultear was his familiar at the moment, there were some things he couldn't let her know too much about.

After Bardock led Ultear out of the ruins, Lin Tian took out his phone, opened the email app, edited five emails, and sent them out after spending 50,000 Bells...

In the world of One Piece, the Spade Pirates, having just escaped the Navy's pursuit, are stranded on a deserted island. As the crew prepares to celebrate their escape with a banquet, they notice that their captain has inexplicably turned grim.

The captain, who was usually an optimist, showed such a serious expression, which made everyone uneasy. They all put down their work and walked over to Ace, looking at him with concern.

"Erza, Kikyo, and Illya have gone missing? This is really bad!" Ace frowned and fell into deep thought after putting the letter in his spatial backpack.

"What's wrong, Captain?" At this moment, the first mate, Hughes, who was closest to Ace, stepped forward, patted Ace on the shoulder, and asked with some concern.

"Friends, I might have to go out for a while. There's something very important I need to do. I'm sorry, please forgive my impulsiveness!"

Ace glanced at Hughes beside him, and then noticed that all the crew members had gathered around him. He then put on a very serious expression and bowed deeply to the crew.

"What's going on, boss? You're in trouble and you're not even bringing the brothers along? Are you planning a rebellion?!"

"Yeah, yeah, boss, we'll help you together!"

"Don't abandon us!"

Seeing Ace bow to them, all the crew members knew that their leader was really in trouble, so they all waved flags and cheered, wanting to go with him.

"Actually, I wanted to take you all there, but this place is only accessible to me alone. Everyone, before I return, you must work hard to become stronger and avoid being captured by the Navy!"

Ace gazed at his brothers who had risked their lives with him, deeply moved that they all wanted to follow him. He hesitated, wondering whether to take them with him, for every person adds to their strength.

But recalling Lin Tian's letter, which emphasized that the world where Kikyo and the others disappeared was extremely dangerous and stressed that he should not take his crew there.

Thinking of all this, Ace suppressed his impulse and refused their kindness.

......

In the Naruto world, within the Hyuga clan's territory in Konoha Village, in a secluded chamber, Hyuga Neji, seeing the door opened, silently put away the letter in his hand and looked up to speak to the visitor.

"Father, I have some matters to attend to and will be away for a while. It might be two years, or it might be three. Nothing major will happen in Konoha in the next few years, but... you and Mother must be extra careful. Remember, in four years the Uchiha clan will be wiped out. You must retire before then and not get involved in this..."

Chapter 286 A Thousand Armies Arrive to Meet

"Yes..."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son, who was now an adult, and felt the same disbelief he had when he first met him.

He never imagined that one day his son would grow into an adult overnight, possessing strength comparable to the Hokage, preventing him from committing suicide, and taking the blame for his brother. Even more unbelievable, his son seemed to know what would happen in the future...

Hyuga Neji looked at his father, who was still the young man he remembered, nodded, and walked out of the secret room.

"Island Master Lin Tian, ​​you helped me save my father. I will definitely help my friends in need..."

This is Konoha year 54, the year the Cloud Village leader kidnapped Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and the year her father voluntarily sacrificed himself to take the blame for the clan leader.

When Neji learned on the island that he could use the Dodo Bird Airlines to return to the past he wanted to go back to, he began to make himself stronger.

Only after he believed that his current strength was enough to rival the Hokage did he return to Konoha in 54, save his father Hyuga Hizashi who was about to commit seppuku, and use a strong stance to coerce and entice the Konoha leadership to refuse the unreasonable demands of Kumogakure.

Just as he had imagined, seeing Konoha's firm stance, the Cloud Village lost its arrogance and hastily returned to the Cloud Village. After all, kidnapping Hinata Hyuga was their own conspiracy, and if Konoha exposed it, they would not only gain nothing, but it would also mean a breakdown in their relationship with Konoha.

After entering the courtyard, Hyuga Neji immediately activated his Byakugan, observing the ANBU members monitoring him. Discovering that three ANBU teams were positioned in different directions, he let out a cold snort and vanished instantly.

In the forbidden forest of Konoha, Hyuga Neji looked around and, finding no ANBU members pursuing him, took out his Nokia phone...
