Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Newcomers

Uchiha Miyuki: "Wait, wait, wait—blowing up the sun?! That's straight-up cheating! Since when did the Mera Mera no Mi plus the Hōgyoku combo become that OP?!"

Luo Hao: "It's indeed somewhat amazing… But remember, Jaeger already possessed solar power. This isn't some power appearing out of nowhere—it's a natural escalation from the fusion of multiple abilities."

Aizen Sōsuke: "…I must admit, I didn't expect the flame spirit and Jaeger to be so compatible. Destiny, perhaps."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "From erasing continents to wiping out humanity and now aiming for the stars… Our beloved nobleman finally reaches the 'blow-up-the-sun' phase of power creep."

Esdeath: "So tell me: between sun detonation and anti-star Noble Phantasms… which is more destructive?"

Luo Hao: "Detonating the sun is far more destructive. Especially this sun—'Mercy'—its power keeps increasing. Right now it could destroy a few planets. Eventually… it might wipe out the entire solar system."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Yikes! Watching His Highness Jaeger go from a bully Celestial Dragon to a sun-blasting monster… It just makes my system feel like garbage in comparison!"

Jaeger: "...It's just a miniature sun I created. Not the actual sun. Don't exaggerate."

Uchiha Miyuki: "See?! That's peak hypocrite behavior! 'Just a miniature sun,' he says!"

Eriri Sawamura: "I'm shaking. If Jaeger ever visits Earth… the whole solar system might go poof."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "One slip of the tongue and His Excellency might just nuke your local star. Now, who wants to disobey?"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Waaaah! I surrender! Please don't blow up the Naruto world's sun, Your Highness Jaeger!"

Jaeger: "...You're mocking me again. Do I really need to blow up a sun just to deal with you? You can't even pass through the Belt of Hercules."

Uchiha Miyuki: "That hurts more than the sun thing! I'm a system-tier Reincarnator, damn it! And I still can't match even one of your Noble Phantasms! What's the point of my life?!"

Kocho Shinobu: "Um… this power is overwhelming, but surely Lord Jaeger wouldn't detonate the sun every time he fights, right? He wouldn't just bury the world with the enemy?"

Eriri Sawamura: "That's… a good point. Is this power kinda useless then?"

Luo Hao: "Tsk. You little girls clearly lack battlefield awareness. You forgot about Jaeger's other Noble Phantasm."

Kocho Shinobu: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Jaeger: "She's talking about Meteor Throw. It lets me toss my enemy to any spot in the universe. So… I can just chuck them out of the solar system first, then blow up the sun."

Kocho Shinobu: "....."

Eriri Sawamura: "You're terrifying! Coming up with that on the spot?!"

Uchiha Miyuki: "All hail the boss! Poor bastard who ends up fighting you—there's no hope!"

As admiration and panic filled the chat, Jaeger quietly exited the group.

After bidding a quick farewell to a mentally-drained Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Jaeger left the First Division building.

"Less than a day left before returning to the Pirate World…"

With time ticking, Jaeger activated full time management mode.

He dueled Unohana Retsu in the Fourth Division for two intense hours—sword against sword—ultimately emerging victorious.

Then came the hot-blooded Saito Furōfushi, a ponytailed pseudo-loli who didn't hold back. Another two hours later, her armor was shattered—along with her pride.

After that, it was a tag-team showdown with the Second Division's finest: Yoruichi and Soi Fon. Jaeger crushed them both in under three hours.

He didn't stop there—sparring with Hinamori Momo, then Kotetsu Isane, and finally teasingly dueling the ever-tempting Rangiku Matsumoto.

He didn't know when he'd return to the Soul Society again. So, he said his goodbyes properly.

Behind him, jealousy stirred among countless Shinigami. Some murmured envy, others rage. Had this man treated Soul Society like his own personal backyard?

If Jaeger hadn't voluntarily returned when his mission timer hit zero, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni might have burned him out personally.

[Mission Complete!]

Back in the Pirate World, Jaeger hadn't even started looking for Yamato before the chat group messages resumed.

[New Members Have Joined: Master Scathach, Karuizawa Kei]

[Transmigrator Corpse (Saito Kenji) Retrieved — Reward Distributed]

[Congratulations! Nerona Jaeger has received: Gungnir (Spear of the Norse God King)]

A divine spear. Odin's own weapon. But to everyone, it felt... underwhelming.

Its homing effect overlapped with Jaeger's God Avoid. Compared to the recent sun-blasting upgrade, this felt more like a glorified backup weapon.

Mei Yamamoto: "So it was Gungnir… Eh, kind of underwhelming."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Forget the spear! It's Scathach and Kei! MY WAIFUS! The 2D gods have answered my prayers!"

Tohsaka Sakura: "Miyuki… You're spiraling again."

Esdeath: "'Master'? The new girl's title is weird. Is she some kind of teacher?"

Jibril: "Judging by Miyuki's reaction, they're probably popular heroines from different anime worlds."

Eriri Sawamura: "Scathach… the Irish myth warrior woman? Is this a character based on the original mythology? Which one has the connection to the transmigrator?"

Jaeger: "Clearly Scathach. She and Gungnir share roots—both from Norse mythos. It makes sense she'd show up now."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Master Scathach!! Are you the Type Moon version?! Say something!!"

Uchiha Miyuki: "And Kei, sweet Kei… You're from Classroom of the Elite, right?! What timeline are you in now? Junior high? High school? Tell me, my beloved!"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Don't tell me Ayanokoji got to you… damn that freak."

Karuizawa Kei: "Wh-What is this?! A chat group? Magic? A dream?! This all feels too real!"

Karuizawa Kei: "And who is Ayanokoji? I don't even know him."

Scathach: "...I was indeed born to be Queen of the Land of Shadows. Though now, I'm merely a princess and weapon artisan. Strange titles—do you all know me?"

Yamamoto Mei: "A princess? So you're pre-ascension Scathach… That means this is still the Age of Gods."

Scathach: "Yes. The sun god here is Lugh."

Yamamoto Mei: "Lugh… Father of Cú Chulainn, the Child of Light."

Yamamoto Mei: "Anyway, check the group announcements and memory archives. You'll understand soon enough what this place is."

Scathach: "Understood. Thank you."

Karuizawa Kei: "R-Right… Thanks. I'll read them."

Classroom of the Elite World —

"This is… what?"

Karuizawa Kei, a junior school girl still trembling from a fresh round of bullying, stared at the strange announcement hovering before her eyes.

She hadn't even wiped her tears yet when this bizarre, almost fantastical message appeared out of nowhere.

Group Announcement: Pirates. Death Gods. Flügels. Multiverse Travelers. Sun-Destroying Beings. Anti-Star Noble Phantasms. Exploding Suns…

Her first thought? "What kind of chuunibyou nonsense is this?"

It looked like something straight out of a light novel—something written by a delusional teenager trying too hard to be cool. But that thought only lasted a second.

Because no one else could see it.

Because it appeared directly in her mind.

Because it was real.

"…Am I the protagonist now?"

Kei's breath hitched. Was this one of those moments in web novels where an ordinary girl gains an extraordinary chance?

A private chat group no one else could access, filled with powerful beings from other worlds?

She kept scrolling through the group introductions until one name made her heart skip a beat:

Nerona Jaeger.

A Reincarnator from the Pirate World.

A Celestial Dragon of noble birth.

Possesses the Anti-Star Noble Phantasm.

Capable of creating and destroying miniature suns.

Currently the strongest being in the group.

Kei's face flushed. Her lips parted unconsciously.

If he really exists… if someone like that is real…

Then she would cling to him no matter what it took. She would follow him, worship him, and beg him to protect her. And those bullies who treated her like trash?

They'd pay.

Her shoulders quivered slightly in anticipation. She tapped open the Memory Copy feature without hesitation.

Another World — The Isle of Skye, Kingdom of Shadows

A silver moon hung over the haunted lands. On the cliffs stood a woman clad in a tight purple-black battle suit, eyes distant yet coldly focused—Scathach, Princess of the Kingdom of Shadows.

The group announcement shimmered silently before her.

Even in this human form, her demonic wisdom and innate clairvoyance outclassed nearly every being in this age.

So when this interdimensional chat group appeared, she didn't doubt it. Not even for a second.

Parallel worlds? Intersecting timelines? A multiversal network? Perfectly reasonable.

Still, she hadn't expected to receive such a… peculiar blessing.

And when she clicked open her Memory Copy, her face remained expressionless as she read:

A queen of the dead who surpasses humanity.

Slayer of gods.

Cursed with immortality by the heavens.

Ageless.

Alone.

Waiting for the end of time outside of all worlds.

A long, tired sigh escaped her lips.

"So dull," she muttered. "How utterly boring."

It was exactly as she had imagined her fate to be. That didn't surprise her. What surprised her was this gift—the chat group.

Perhaps some higher power had taken pity on her stagnant, endless existence.

Perhaps someone out there wished her to experience more… to live.

Her lips curved into the faintest of smiles. Maybe this won't be so bad.

She turned back to the chat interface.

Scathach: "I've reviewed the announcement. I never imagined something like this truly existed."

Chat Group Interface

Uchiha Miyuki: "Master! You finished your memory copy already!?"

Scathach: "I fast-forwarded through most of it."

Esdeath: "Hah? You're pretty calm for someone who just found out they're an anime character. Most people would freak out."

Scathach: "It aligned with what I already suspected. Still, I am surprised—and grateful—to be part of this group."

Luo Hao: "You could predict your own fate? How powerful must you be?"

Uchiha Miyuki: "She's a legend! She has demonic wisdom and clairvoyance! It's normal for Master to foresee her destiny!"

Scathach: "I noticed a memory copy uploaded by Kocho Shinobu regarding Demon Slayer. I will also upload mine for everyone to view."

[Group Notification: Scathach has uploaded a memory copy!]

Uchiha Miyuki: "Master, you're amazing! You're the best!"

Esdeath: "To openly share your own fate… You really are a warrior."

Jibril: "If I recall correctly, only Shinobu has done that so far. That makes you the second one."

Jaeger: "Correct."

Kocho Shinobu: "I only shared mine to warn others about Muzan. But Lady Scathach… your courage is admirable."

Luo Hao: "Worthy of a mythic hero. You truly are the queen who trained Cu Chulainn. I admire your strength and pride!"

The memory copies contained everything—their original destinies, their deepest truths. No one had dared to show theirs so freely, except Shinobu. And now Scathach.

The group went silent, then one by one, everyone clicked in.

Even Kei, watching silently from the sidelines, opened Scathach's memory copy.

After Reading the Memory Copy

Uchiha Miyuki: "She's so cool! So elegant! So strong! She's my waifu forever!!"

Esdeath: "She killed gods, transcended humanity, and ascended beyond reality itself… You're not a human. You're a monster in human form!"

Jibril: "What kind of normal human does that? Impossible!"

Kocho Shinobu: "She was chosen by the land of the dead, wields dual magic spears, and possesses demonic wisdom. She's basically a legend come to life."

Karuizawa Kei: "So strong… so cool… I want to be like her…"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Kei! Are you still in junior high?"

Karuizawa Kei: "Yes… I haven't started high school yet. Haven't entered that elite school from the memory copy."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Then… that means you're still being bullied, aren't you?"

Karuizawa Kei: "…Yeah."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Don't worry! I'll protect you! Also, you should try your newbie reward draw. You might get something amazing!"

Karuizawa Kei: "Newbie reward?"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Yup! You and Master Scathach both qualify. But before that, let's watch His Highness Jaeger's draw! He just completed a world mission!"
