Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 3

Hokage Natsuhiko: "The first thing is that we can constantly pull ourselves from other worlds here and send them back at any time. The flow of time in this space is different from that in our original world. When we arrive in this space, time in the outside world is completely frozen."

Pirate Natsuhiko: "The second is that we share our abilities and memories. However, the abilities will not appear in their original form in different worlds. This is probably because the laws of the worlds are different, and they will be manifested in different forms."

"For example, the Black Phantom from the Ajin world becomes a Stand ability in the JOJO world. My racial talent can make them stronger and allow them to control fire, but they can't grow wings out of thin air."

Demi-human Natsuhiko: "And the third ability is that even after leaving this space, we can still communicate in real time through a chat group, and we can also send red envelopes."

Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Damn, is that all? This is basically asking us to help ourselves!? What about the system's own capabilities!?"

"What kind of garbage information system is this? With such meager capabilities, it dares to transport people through time?! Seriously?!"

"Useless system! Even if you can't become a god with one click like in those awesome novels, you could at least be like a cat that can turn into a wife!"

JOJO Natsuhiko: "Save your breath. The first two to arrive, Pirate Natsuhiko and Ajin Natsuhiko, have already said every single vulgar word you can think of, and they're still innovating every day."

"What you're saying are things they've been criticizing for hundreds of years; there's nothing new about them at all."

"Besides, turning them into wives would be even more troublesome. How would we distribute them among so many people? We can't all be considered like-minded, can we? Wouldn't that just cause infighting among us?"

Upon hearing this, the pirate Natsuhiko and the demi-human Natsuhiko exchanged another look, their eyes filled with mutual sympathy.

Due to racial issues, one of these two was put into the Battle Royale upon landing, constantly on the run, and eventually lost both parents and was captured and used as a guinea pig in a laboratory.

Although the other one had a period of peace, he was also directly stuffed into the laboratory after his demi-human identity was discovered.

Now I have my own world that I can't return to; if I did, I would face all sorts of inhuman experiments.

Before gaining the power to break free from this predicament, he could only spend his days in the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space].

These two were among the first to arrive at the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space]. When they arrived, the entire space consisted of just the two of them and JOJO Xia Yan. They hoped to gain powerful strength as soon as they arrived.

When the time came, they discovered that the system itself had no way to become stronger, and they could only wait for their counterparts in other worlds to share their power. They were filled with despair.

They find new ways to criticize the system every day.

It's fortunate that the system is the kind that doesn't have its own consciousness, otherwise Gao and Di would have kicked them out of the group chat.

"Besides, no matter what, you should be content with having a system. It's better than nothing."

After watching the commotion for a while, Naruto Natsuhiko, who looked like a young boy who wasn't even old enough to start elementary school, also joined the group chat.

Thanks to Xia Yan's own outstanding appearance, plus the blessing of being a human cub, even though he looks like he has cataracts, his cuteness has reached an extraordinary level.

She's clearly the kind of person who, once she grows up, will have someone chasing after her as soon as she knows to eat when she's hungry or go home when it rains.

"To put it optimistically, at least it's not one of those garbage systems that says 'Mission Failure: Annihilation,' nor is it like some other system that tries to outsmart you and play conspiracy theories."

Despite looking like a doll, he speaks with remarkable maturity, displaying the demeanor of a little adult. Unfortunately, this charm has no effect on the others who are also Xia Yan.

Chapter Five: Everything is a Choice of Steins;Gate

"That's true, but how can you be so sure that there's no conspiracy theory involved in our system?"

"..."

A question from Natsuhiko in Demon Slayer suddenly brought the space to a standstill.

Xia Yan and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the answer to the question in each other's eyes.

"Whatever."

"Just set it up, I'll set it up no matter what you ask."

"Between worry and fear, I choose happiness."

"Well said, that's so true to me!"

Clearly, the other Natsuhikos had already discussed this issue before Natsuhiko arrived in Demon Slayer.

The answer I got was to let nature take its course.

Just like a novel, the only things that can affect the fate of the characters are the author's ideas and the readers' evaluations. The characters described in the book have no way to resist.

Life is like being raped; if you can't resist, you can try to enjoy it.

"Alright, let's stop this small talk and let the new member feel the warmth of home."

Natsuhiko, the Demon Slayer, didn't quite catch which version of himself from which world said those words, as he was overwhelmed by the memories flooding his mind.

There was no feeling of suffocation or pain like drowning; instead, it felt as comfortable and natural as returning to the womb.

Like lying on a hovercraft floating on the water, with waves constantly rising and falling beneath him and the warm sunshine above, his body rose and fell with the current, making him feel completely relaxed.

As memories flooded in, Xia Yan's expression changed constantly, with joy, anger, sorrow, and despair filling his heart.

Unlike watching a first-person film, this feeling is so real, as if he experienced everything himself.

He simply regained memories he had forgotten for many years.

All the memories before the time travel were exactly the same, and the turning point was after being knocked out of the jaw by that Transformer's uppercut.

He was transported to the world of One Piece and became a descendant of the Lunaria race. From birth, he was led by his parents to hide and live in hiding until he was eighteen years old when he was captured by the Navy. His parents died on the spot, and he was captured and is currently being used as a test subject in a secret research base of the World Government.

In the world of Ajin, he started as an orphan from an island nation. With a maturity and self-control far beyond his peers, he worked hard and got into Tokyo University. However, his Ajin identity was discovered due to an incident of objects being thrown from a high-rise building. As a result, he was taken in by the government and used as a test subject, where he experienced a series of inhuman tortures.

A Ripple warrior transported to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure world, a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family in the Naruto world...

In his memory, Xia Yan was sometimes a descendant of the gods who was hiding in the east and west, and sometimes a Ripple warrior who trained hard every day, a diligent orphan from an island nation, and a member of a branch family who had been constantly brainwashed since he was old enough to understand.

At the same time, Natsuhiko's other abilities and talents also awakened within Natsuhiko's body in Demon Slayer.

He instantly felt his body filled with an incredible vitality, able to naturally create and control flames, and his physical attributes improved dramatically. Although he couldn't stretch his body like rubber like the Lunaria, his flexibility surpassed that of most creatures in the world.

At the same time, it was as if after decades of training, the breathing naturally transformed into the rhythm of the ripple breathing method.

Although the eyes did not turn into white eyes like those with cataracts, they still gained X-ray vision, farsightedness, and a 360-degree field of vision without blind spots. Dynamic vision and observation ability were also greatly improved.

Furthermore, he could clearly sense a significant increase in his mental strength, but he seemed to lack a means to convert it into power and release it.

After digesting all the memories, Demon Slayer Natsuhiko opened his eyes, his expression incredibly complex.

"So, just like the choices made in Steins;Gate, 'I' was forced to make countless choices when I traveled through time, which led to countless branches in the world line."

The other Xia Yans had also finished processing the memories of the Demon Slayer world, and because they had prior experience, they were obviously able to adjust their mindset much faster.

Upon hearing his words, JOJO Natsuhiko nodded and said, "Indeed, all of this is a choice made by Steins;Gate!"

"But you're lucky, kid. You got a useful ability right away. I don't know how Ripple will turn out in your world, but it will probably be effective against demons that are afraid of sunlight."

Natsuhiko, the Demon Slayer, also sighed.

"Indeed, compared to my pirate self and my demi-human self, I can say I'm lucky. However, it's still uncertain whether the Ripple Breathing Technique can really cause fatal damage to demons."

"What are you afraid of? You are already immortal, and that ghost is just a low-level weakling. With your current physical strength, you can definitely take it down easily. At worst, you can just use your strength to lock him up and stall for time until dawn."

"That makes sense, let's go! Cheers, brothers!!!"

"Go ahead, we'll be watching you!"

Chapter Six: This is the unique feature of Demon Slayer.

"I can't find it at all—"

In the world of Demon Slayer, the green-haired demon smiled happily as he watched Natsuhiko, who had almost completely lost consciousness, open his eyes.

However, because I am really ugly, even when I smile, I am still extremely ugly.

He himself seems completely unaware of this.

"I've searched the whole house, but there's nowhere to hide except under the bed."

"It seems I misunderstood you. It's not that you didn't hide it well. After all, your house probably isn't as big as mine, and you don't have as much furniture."

That bastard is so annoying!

Having just exited the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space] and regained consciousness, Xia Yan subconsciously thought to himself after hearing the other party's words.

They're all ghosts now, and you're still showing off your superiority to me?!

I can sunbathe, can you? Even your ancestor Muzan couldn't!

The green-haired demon was clearly unaware of Xia Yan's thoughts. Like most villains, he was in no hurry to kill his opponent after believing he had the absolute advantage.

Or perhaps he never considered Xia Yan as his rival at all.

After all, Xia Yan looks like just an ordinary fourteen-year-old boy.

Although his height of nearly 1.8 meters was a bit supermodel-like for a Japanese boy at that time, due to malnutrition, Xia Yan's limbs were still very thin, looking like sticks.

Even if they are tall, they don't give off a sense of strength at all; instead, they make people worry that they might fall and break a bone after taking a few steps.

"Hey, you know what..."

This kind of sonar-like speech sounds like the voice of a seasoned anime fan.

Xia Yan, who had been placed on the ground, rubbed his neck and squinted as he looked down at the green-haired ghost who, although he looked about the same age as him, was no more than 1.6 meters tall.

Driven by a desire to confide in someone, the green-haired ghost didn't try to snap Xia Yan's neck. Instead, as if afraid of strangling him to death, he gently placed Xia Yan in front of him and smiled like a madman.

"Your father, that man named Narukami Tsuki Saburo, used to be a mountain bandit!"

Xia Yan, who was originally planning to test the ripple effect directly on this green-haired ghost, was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said.

To be honest, he had absolutely no understanding of his biological father, who was a beast who was proficient in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, and womanizing, and who would beat and scold him at the drop of a hat. From birth to now, the father and son had never exchanged more than ten sentences.

From a modern perspective, a dog might talk more than a couple.

The green-haired ghost's words piqued Xia Yan's interest.

Seeing Xia Yan behaving himself as a very obedient listener, the green-haired devil smiled with satisfaction.

“Back then, my family had a very big house, more than ten times bigger than your dilapidated hut! All kinds of furniture were also very high-end, and it wasn’t as dark as your house at night.”

"A bumpkin like you probably doesn't even know what an electric light is!"

"My house is brightly lit at night."

Hard, hard, hard fist.

I'm a small business owner who time-traveled from the 21st century, how could I not know what an electric light bulb is?!

Xia Yan, who had originally intended to listen to what the other party had to say, clenched his fists upon hearing this. He decided that if the other party said another word showing off his superiority, he would cut his head off and slice it in half vertically on the spot.

Let him know what Sichuan-style roasted pig brain is like.
