The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 204 Card

My mind is full of all sorts of random thoughts.

If only there were a way to stop all of this.

Gu Meng has been in this world for seven years now, and it feels pretty much the same as his previous life. At least, the probability of ordinary people encountering danger is not high if they don't go abroad, and he doesn't want to disrupt everyone's daily life because of these messy things.

Moreover, after the release of Black Myth, he had a premonition that if things developed quickly, he would probably reach the standard for ascension and transcend this plane in three to five years. He had previously thought that if he stayed in this world, he would play games like crazy to prevent himself from becoming abnormal. Now he thought it was just worrying unnecessarily.

It's like you were lucky enough to be thrust into a newbie village in the game, where you encounter nothing and develop smoothly until the later stages. You think you have all sorts of unorthodox abilities that you don't need anymore, but then you still have to embark on an extraordinary life.

Actually, I'm not too worried about what will happen next. Judging from the various hints that Brother Tongzi gave me, President Gu feels that he probably belongs to an organization.

In recent years, many powerful rewards don't seem to belong to any particular game category; they seem to be given by powerful figures who have high hopes for them. After ascending, it might just be a period of probation, since there are always tall people watching over things if the sky falls.

What worries me is the future of this ordinary world. I'm growing too fast, and I don't know if I'll be able to control it when the time comes. What if I ascend to heaven with the people I'm closest to?

Based on the average strength of the people in this world that I've searched so many times, unless the big shots and all the national leaders are hiding their strength, the world that appears to be... is still a very ordinary world that is very similar to the real world.

There's simply no way to contend with the dark side of the Toyokawa family, the strange magical creatures, the alien fleet... and all that.

The parallel world's technology tree has also been rapidly advancing on the virtual reality side. Although it can already achieve 99% realism in consciousness infiltration, and directly create super-large light and shadow shows and some simple reality projection interactive games through holographic projection, it is actually a game acceleration.

Moreover, aside from the game-related technologies, in other aspects, compared to my previous life in 2024 when I traveled through time, it's only a few years ahead, so it definitely can't do those things.

This isn't the real Yu-Gi-Oh! world where you can play cards to summon the Creator of Light and defeat the Great Evil God Zorc...

Wait a minute, I haven't read any other works by Bushido.

Who knows, maybe after I leave, this world will really become like Yu-Gi-Oh!, where you play cards and fight evil gods.

To be more optimistic, you can think of it this way.

A more traditional development would require an Ultraman... perhaps an exceptionally powerful and invincible Ultraman would be more suitable, as an ordinary Ultraman might not be able to defeat an evil god... and there don't seem to be any monsters, so it's not a good fit. Well, no, an evil god is also a monster, so a powerful Shining Tiga might be able to handle it.

The key point is that there are no legends of pyramids or ancient giants on Earth here. If such things existed here, I would have discovered them during my travels.

Suddenly I feel like there are quite a few enemies of evil gods, even Ultraman can fight evil gods... If we assume this is a two-dimensional world, it feels like many heroes can somehow get some kind of special attack to fight evil gods. Theoretically, if the girl band fighting evil gods starts from the very first episode and it's part of this world's setting, it's not impossible.

What I fear most is that this strange Bushido world might be some kind of insane, dark, and cruel world, where in the end an evil god descends and destroys the world in an unsolvable worldview. I absolutely do not want that kind of thing to happen.

However, it seems that he doesn't know where to start in order to stop it. Gu Meng is currently just blocking contact with the Toyokawa family and observing indirectly. He is still studying how to proceed.

Rushing straight into the Toyokawa family's stronghold is out of the question. He might end up as a sacrifice, replacing the girl band, and be better off being cautious. As a non-reckless psychic, without intelligence and facing seemingly normal opponents who are actually acting strangely, charging in would definitely lead to disaster. There are so many foreshadowing scenarios and examples from novels I've read.

Just like two gay men making friends, if one feels that the other is a perfect match, meets all their needs, and can keep up with any topic, it may mean that the other is superior to the other in every way in terms of sexuality.

Knowing that both sides are considered to be on the side of the evil god, Gu Meng's side couldn't figure out the other side's strength. His intuition told him that the other side had no extraordinary abilities at all, and that the evil god didn't exist at all. It was very likely because His abnormality and status were above his own.

Moreover, the rare information in the discarded case describes it in a particularly indescribable and ineffable way. The more difficult it is to describe, the more powerful it is. Only a great evil god would have this feeling.

It's precisely in times like these that you shouldn't be reckless. Rushing in would be too dangerous. It's better to stay put until the enemy moves.

As for the source of everything that seemed amiss, it was that girl band game.

From Gu Meng's perspective, Xiao Ang's game is more like a harbinger or an exchange of information between countless parallel worlds than a way to change reality.

Subaru and the editorial department may be extraordinary individuals—Subaru and Momoka are special characters with unique destinies derived from his own gacha draws. He himself is not even sure if they naturally merged into this world from another world after his gacha draw. There were also strange celestial phenomena at the time. After being developed by him for many years, she and the others have become a familia—so with the blessing of the plane, they naturally possess a kind of "prophetic" ability.

This seems normal, but a dimension that is about to be invaded by all sorts of random things might be using this method to call for help.

However, the game itself doesn't seem like it happened to be some kind of large-scale "ritual" that could affect reality. For example, the plot of the hen card in the latest chapter of the Yuxuan version has been changed to be very reasonable.

The storyline of the abandoned case of the god in the Yu Gen version of the Mother Hen Card has been removed, the darkness of the Toyokawa family has not appeared in the story, and there is no existence of Wakaba Mutsu standing above countless dead personalities.

However, there are still multi-headed monsters in reality, and the real-world and game character designs are different. As it stands, this game is more likely to only serve the purpose of prediction and warning, and cannot directly change reality.

However, just in case, this game series could be stopped and no more new versions developed, or perhaps a trial version with a lot of righteous superhumans, like Pretty Cure... Oh, I see, magical girls are specifically targeted by evil gods, right? The Toyokawa family's octopus evil god is just tentacles...

As for intelligence, if Subaru and the others have any inspiration or sudden ideas about the plot, they can just tell me, and I can refer to them.

Perhaps I didn't watch enough anime in my past life.

I've been watching mostly old anime lately, and new ones just don't seem very interesting. Maybe it's just that I've been working too much and my mindset has gotten old.

Besides plot information, there are also questions about the timeline and the works being extracted. If you actually travel to the world of Bushido, is there a fixed pattern for the main storyline of Bushido works? Is it based on the time the anime was released, or is there some kind of future world in it?

The plot of "Mother Hen Card" definitely corresponds to the real world after "Mygo," because I had already noticed it when I went to Japan to capture—oh no, I mean protect—those two girl bands.

But the Revue Starlight anime should have been released before Mygo, right? I didn't pay attention to when the story of that anime would take place, whether the stage was in the real world or in another dimension... When its story begins, will Revue Starlight also appear as scheduled?

Not knowing what time that would be, Gu Meng felt that if he didn't live to see that time, he might have to leave behind some extraordinary seeds in this world.
