Ian arrived in the Dragon Raja world with the Gold Dragon King avatar. His objective was clear: save one person who should be saved, and kill one person who should be killed.
The middle floor of the Shaoqi Yabashi headquarters building.
Erii was kneeling on the tatami mat, wearing a red and white Miko outfit, with her favorite Little Yellow Duck on her head.
She was currently on a video call with Genzhi Sheng.
"Brother, Erii is behaving." She wrote this sentence on her small notebook and showed it to Genzhi Sheng before ending the call.
After hanging up, Erii rushed excitedly to the sofa, turned on the TV, and continued watching Ultraman Tiga. On screen, Tiga was flashing red lights and fighting a monster.
Although she had watched it many times and knew Tiga would ultimately win, she still widened her eyes, clenched her small hands, and secretly cheered for Tiga in her heart.
Whenever Tiga was knocked down, she would become nervous. When the Ultraman stood up again, she would become excited along with him.
"Go, Tiga!" she silently cheered for her hero, her eyes sparkling with genuine light.
As the monster was defeated, Da Gu, who was again pretending to be offline, awkwardly scurried out from the side, beginning to explain his absence.
Erii rolled around on the sofa, still wanting more, clutching her Little Yellow Duck. Then, she reached out and picked up a stack of JUMP manga from the small table beside her.
The One Piece manga was currently serializing the Marineford Arc, and Ace's crisis worried Erii greatly.
Ace was now imprisoned in Impel Down and about to be executed, while Luffy's fate within Impel Down was unknown.
After reading the manga again, Erii seemed to come to a certain resolution. She then carefully avoided the cameras, took out her small notebook, and began planning her escape route from home.
She also researched the "Ace Rescue Plan" to be executed after running away.
She formulated a complete plan: first, sneak out of Shaoqi Yabashi, then take a ship to find Sun Wukong, and finally, go together to help Luffy rescue Ace.
In Erii's worldview, all these anime characters were real.
Suddenly, Erii discovered two strangers in the living room.
She froze, quickly tore off the plan, and hid it in her pocket. Then, she carefully observed Ian and the other man. Finding she had no impression of either, she picked up her notebook, wrote, "Who are you?" on it, and held it up to Ian.
Ian and the Gold Dragon King had arrived earlier, but had been suppressing their aura, which was why Erii hadn't noticed them.
"You must be Uesugi Erii," Ian said. "We are from another world."
Erii, hearing her name, subconsciously hugged the Little Yellow Duck tightly, staring at the two of them.
Ian continued, "Right now, countless worlds—such as Luffy's, Naruto's, and Ultraman's—are facing an unprecedented crisis."
Ian then waved his hand, and a miniature cosmos unfolded before them: "Countless dimensions are being devoured by the darkness. We are the Multiverse Guardian Alliance, and we are now traversing space and time to find suitable people to join us."
"And you, Erii, are one of the chosen ones."
As they spoke, the auras they suppressed were unleashed. Erii seemed to see a towering God that reached the heavens and earth, and a massive ancient Dragon wearing a crown appear before her.
"So, will you join us and fight the dark forces to the end?" Ian extended his hand, looking at Erii.
Erii's eyes shone brighter and brighter. She quickly wrote in her notebook: "Yes, yes! I'll join you!"
However, she then began to hesitate, writing again: "I need to tell my brother and family."
"Your family has already agreed," Ian smiled. He had already agreed on behalf of Tachibana Masamune, as a dead man's opinion was irrelevant.
"As for your brother, pack your things. We'll take you to see him shortly."
Erii excitedly jumped up from the sofa, writing in her notebook: "I'll go right now!"
She ran into the bedroom, pulled out a red cloth bag, and began stuffing it full of labeled toys and daily necessities. Erii's Little Yellow Duck, Erii's Ultraman, Erii's Comb, etc. Finally, she packed a few Miko outfits of the same style she was wearing.
Ian then split off an avatar to stay behind and protect Erii.
The next target: Tachibana Masamune.
The guards outside the door saw two strangers walk out of the young mistress's room. They immediately raised their guns, looking at them warily: "Stop! Who are you?"
The Gold Dragon King simply raised his hand and lightly flicked his index finger. The air was compressed at his fingertip, then shot out.
All the guards along the path were blown to the end of the corridor, where they slammed against the wall.
The remaining guards realized the danger and immediately opened fire while sounding the alarm.
A large number of bullets shot towards the two men but hit an invisible barrier and vanished.
"Send backup immediately! Intruders! Bring heavy weapons, the intruders are strong!" one guard yelled into his walkie-talkie, his voice trembling.
Immediately, more fully armed security personnel appeared at the end of the corridor, only to be swept aside by a wave of the Gold Dragon King's hand, wrapped in energy, and sent flying.
"Intruders, halt!" Inuyama's voice rang out in the corridor. His hand was on his sword hilt, his eyes sharp as he stared at the two.
No one answered. Ian and the Gold Dragon King continued forward. What kind of trash dared to block their path?
Seeing the two ignore him, Inuyama quickly drew his sword. His Golden Eyes lit up, and the Word of Power "Moment" was immediately activated: Level Seven Moment, 128x speed.
He then charged toward the Gold Dragon King at a speed undetectable by the naked eye.
His blade aimed directly at the throat, but he suddenly froze in place because the Gold Dragon King's eyes were locked onto him. He could actually keep up with his speed!
Inuyama quickly retreated, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
Ian continued to walk, not even glancing at him, as if Inuyama did not exist.
As the two advanced, more and more members of Yabashi fell.
Inuyama saw the situation and stopped holding back.
"Level Nine Moment."
His speed instantly soared to 512x. The world completely stopped in his eyes, and the air seemed frozen. It felt as if every step drained all his strength. This was originally his trump card reserved for "that person," but today, he had to use it early.
He had only one chance to strike; he had to kill his target instantly.
The blade pointed straight at the Gold Dragon King. Inuyama was confident that no humanoid creature could stop this strike; even a Dragon could be cut open.
However, just as the blade was about to touch the Gold Dragon King's neck, a sudden event made Inuyama's pupils contract sharply.
At that moment, the Gold Dragon King turned his head and smiled at him.
'How is that possible? I'm moving at 512x speed!'
"How..."
Before Inuyama could even voice his gasp, the Gold Dragon King's right hand shot out at a speed even 512x couldn't observe, grabbing his head and slamming it hard onto the marble floor. The marble floor shattered, and blood flowed into the cracks. Inuyama's body convulsed, his life hanging in the balance.
Throughout the entire process, Ian never once looked at him, continuing to walk steadily forward.
