Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 115 World Phenomena

The sense of spatial distortion gradually subsided, and familiar air, carrying a hint of steel and dust, filled my nostrils.

Wang Bai shook his head, which was slightly dizzy from the long-distance interdimensional teleportation, and opened his eyes.

He was standing in the same hidden warehouse area where he had left the demi-human world.

However, the scene before him was completely different from the desolate and dilapidated landscape he remembered.

The warehouse has been renovated and surrounded by a cordon that is clearly military-style. The previously uneven ground has been paved with smooth asphalt.

What made his pupils shrink even more was that on both sides of the warehouse entrance, two rows of fully armed soldiers stood straight. They were not wearing ordinary military uniforms, but black combat uniforms with obvious "Demi-human Special Tactical Force" insignia.

He's only been away from the demi-human world for less than a month, so how come the entire base has changed so much?

Wang Bai was a little curious, so he asked the staff walking by about the time and situation.

Then, amidst the screams of the staff, the entire base was in an uproar!

Faced with the soldiers' and staff's indescribable respect, even fanaticism, Wang Bai sensed that something big must have happened.

The leading officer, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and iron eyes, suddenly raised his right arm and gave a perfectly standard military salute after seeing Wang Bai's completely solidified figure.

The soldiers behind him moved in perfect unison, as if they were being inspected.

"Lord Wang Bai!" The officer's voice boomed, brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "Welcome back! Mr. Sato, Ms. Shimomura, and the ancient heroic spirits you summoned are all waiting for you at command post!"

Wang Bai:

'

He was completely stunned.

This art style is off.

"Commander of the First Battalion, Demi-human Special Tactical Unit!" The officer saluted again. "By order of the Supreme Command, I am here to ensure your absolute safety upon your return and to guide you to command headquarters immediately! The global situation—has undergone changes beyond your imagination!"

Wang Bai frowned deeply. The global situation?

Filled with doubt, Wang Bai, "escorted" by Lieutenant Tanaka and his squad, left the warehouse district in a black sedan with extremely high bulletproof capabilities.

What he saw along the way was even more alarming. The streets seemed more orderly than when he left, but the air was filled with an indescribable tension and—anticipation?

On many public displays, instead of commercials or entertainment programs, there were scrolling promotional videos he couldn't understand, featuring joint emblems of major countries around the world. The content seemed to be about "unity," "evolution," and "meeting unknown challenges."

Finally, the vehicle entered an underground facility deep within a military stronghold that he had never set foot in before.

After undergoing rigorous identity verification and security checks, he was taken to a high-tech command center.

Here, he saw two familiar faces: Sato, the terrorist leader who had once been both his enemy and friend, and who was pursuing the "freedom" of demi-humans; and Shimomura Izumi.

And then there were those men with dark circles under their eyes, looking at him with resentful eyes, like Bai Mao An Ge.

Even as a Heroic Spirit, the workload was dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people, leaving each of his clones extremely exhausted. Yet, Wang Bai, the Master, had somehow disappeared to who-knows-where.

After enduring hellish work, Bai Mao An Ge finally saw the bastard Wang Bai.

Just as he was about to go up and speak, Wang Bai quickly stepped aside and passed by the other person without stopping at all.

Just kidding, Wang Bai could sense the other party's resentment.

Now that they've gotten involved with me, I'm afraid I'll get a severe scolding.

Unfortunately, the other party was in this state because it was a task he had assigned, so he felt embarrassed to say anything and could only try to make it up to them later.

However, at this moment, Sato was wearing a crisp black military uniform that, while lacking rank, was clearly a high-ranking uniform. The cynical, crazy smile on his face had become much less pronounced, replaced by a calm and sharp demeanor.

Shimomura Izumi stood beside him, also dressed in uniform, his gaze towards Wang Bai extremely complex, a mixture of awe, disbelief, and a hint of realization.

"Yo, our savior has finally returned." Sato spoke first, his tone carrying his characteristic teasing, but his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

"I never imagined there would be other things, and they seem far more interesting than the world right now!"

"Next time, if you manage to leave, take me with you!"

Listening to Sato's words, Wang Bai had a vague premonition.

"Sato, Shimomura. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Wang Bai asked directly, his gaze sweeping over the huge electronic screen in the command center, which was displaying a global map.

"And what about your outfits—"

Shimomura Izumi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and began operating the control panel.

The image on the big screen changed, showing a video that was clearly taken from a very long distance, through a distorted spatial barrier. It was full of noise and distortion, but the general scene was still recognizable. A black-haired youth stood under a towering tree that emitted a warm light. His figure seemed to be one with the huge tree, radiating light into the world.

Countless girls dressed in strange costumes, wielding all sorts of weapons and props, battle against twisted monsters.

The sky was stained gray-white, and the whole world looked like a randomly painted painting, sending chills down one's spine.

The enormous trees radiated light to their fullest extent, eventually forming a massive sun disc that enveloped the entire world.

In the video, a towering tree of light, exuding both warmth and destruction, pierces through the sky and earth.

Below, a blurry figure that Wang Bai himself would never mistake was guiding endless light in a fierce battle against the suffocatingly large entity in the sky, composed of countless cold geometric patterns and red eye phantoms!

The atmosphere of despair and hope intertwined, the collision and annihilation at the level of rules, even through distorted images, is enough to make any viewer's soul tremble!

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted to thousands of tiny rays of light rising from all over the world, converging on the giant tree, and finally, together with the power guided by Wang Bai, tearing apart the gray-white domain and shattering the cold patterns.

"This—this is?!" Wang Bai's pupils shrank suddenly.

That was the scene of his final battle against the Incubator civilization!

About a month ago,

Sato's voice rang out, tinged with disbelief, "This image, or rather, some kind of information projection, appeared directly in the sky above the world. Top scientists and information experts from various countries cannot explain its origin or transmission mechanism."

"Because the fact that it appeared out of nowhere in the sky above the earth and could be seen by people anywhere on earth is a capability that is beyond what technology can imagine."

Shimomura Izumi continued, her tone serious: "The content of the footage is too shocking. That level of power beyond our comprehension, that figure fighting against an unknown and terrifying civilization—"

After countless analyses and comparisons, especially considering your final, clearly revealed appearance and the special abilities you used, it has been finally confirmed that the person in that other world who waged war against a higher civilization to save a certain group is you, Wang Bai.

Sato exclaimed, "Just this one video has successfully made the whole world aware of the existence of another world, and that there are even more terrifying battles in that other world."

"In an instant, the problem of demi-humans was no longer a problem; people all over the world were terrified that the disaster in the images had appeared in this world."

"Thus, the demi-human management organization, which was originally obstructed and shirked, went from being despised by everyone to being wildly popular. Everyone hoped to become a demi-human, or at least hope to receive the protection of a demi-human."

"After all, the demi-humans who can't die no matter what are the most hoped-for trump card for survival."

"It's ironic that the Ajin Management Organization isn't supposed to do this or that, yet it's taken a huge step forward."

"In the end, this process involved many complex issues, including matters of the nation, society, culture, and consciousness. Fortunately, there is the heroic spirit you left behind."

"Without their power, insight, and charisma, even if our demi-human organization were established, we would probably encounter many internal problems."

"In conclusion," Shimomura Izumi added, "governments around the world, after extreme shock and assessment, quickly reached an unprecedented consensus."

Demi-humans are no longer seen as outcasts to be feared and rejected, but have been redefined as potential pioneers of human evolution and a potential force to cope with future interstellar or trans-world events.

A global joint human response command was established to integrate all resources.

We demi-humans, especially those of us who have had contact with you, have been granted extremely high authority and status, responsible for communicating with you and researching how to deal with the potential threats from that defeated civilization, or other unknown risks.

Sato grinned, revealing a familiar smile, but one that carried a completely different meaning at this moment:

'

So, the current situation is that the whole world knows you, Wang Bai. Not as a demi-human who needs to be managed, but as—well, how should I put it, a symbol? A flag?

Or rather, our world's first line of defense in the vast universe, preventing us from being completely at the mercy of others? Local governments are practically begging our demi-human organizations to set up operations and cooperate.

Wang Bai fell silent.

He never expected that the growth of the Imaginary Tree would not only change the fate of the magical girl world, but the aftershocks of its power would also penetrate the world barrier, "live-streaming" his ultimate battle with the incubator to the entire demi-human world!

This directly led to a chain reaction affecting the fates of the two worlds, causing a dramatic shift in the course of civilization in the demi-human world.

He felt a surge of emotions as he sensed the sapling of the Imaginary Tree within him, a tree that, though dormant, had already established connections with multiple worlds.

The incubator civilization may have temporarily receded, but its impact is only just beginning to emerge.

His identity and mission in the demi-human world were completely different from that point on.

He clearly just wanted to be a hands-off manager and didn't want to waste his time on such trivial matters.

"Now, the issue of human rights for demi-humans is no longer the main issue."

"Within just one month, drafts of various behaviors and social norms related to demi-humans were finalized and are being piloted throughout society."

"The most critical issue right now is this—"

Bai Mao An Ge came to Wang Bai's side and interjected with a hint of schadenfreude, "All over the world, without any warning, strange barriers of light have appeared out of thin air."

They are not physical entities, but rather distorted optical phenomena, varying in size from as small as a door to as large as a mountain.

These light screens float stably in the air, at sea, and even through buildings, like "windows" embedded in the real world.

Through these "windows," what greeted the eyes of the people in the demi-human world was a completely different and unbelievable otherworldly landscape!

A giant clock tower, and scenes where magic is used.

Outside the city walls, a warrior was instructing people on how to cultivate the land.

At school, all sorts of energetic girls are constantly playing and frolicking.

This was none other than the world Wang Bai had visited.

Behind these light screens, the people inside also noticed what was happening and looked in with curiosity.

However, these light screens were immediately taken over by local organizations and agencies and were obscured and blocked by other methods.

However, the information from the light screen has already spread across various social media platforms. Even if it is controlled, related videos will still pop up from time to time.

"We, the Heroic Spirits, and the science and technology of this world are constantly researching this light barrier, hoping to close it."

"I think the other side thinks the same way we do, and even the idea of ​​shutting down the light barrier has been agreed upon by several worlds."

Wang Bai felt something was off when Bai Mao An Ge said those words.

The other party is a Heroic Spirit, shouldn't they want to return to the world of Fate?

Bai Mao An Ge seemed to have seen through Wang Bai's thoughts: "Hmph, what's so great about me in that world? Who knows what problems might arise?"

"In this world, I can fully realize my potential and achieve my own justice to the best of my ability."

Wang Bai nodded, looking at Bai Mao'an with admiration: "Since that's the case, I was originally planning to give you a break, but I didn't expect you to be so understanding. I'll have to rely on you more from now on!"

Bai Mao Ange paused, as if he wanted to go back a few seconds and slap himself.

Wang Bai turned his head to look at the three familiar world scenes on the screen, sensing the imaginary tree in his consciousness, and from it he already understood the answer to this phenomenon.

This is a natural phenomenon that occurs after the Imaginary Tree has taken root and its power has permeated multiple interconnected worlds!

It not only changed the rules in the magical girl world, but its powerful "imagination" and its pivotal nature also passively opened up "channels" or "observation windows" between worlds that have a deep connection with it!
