Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

Chapter Seven: The Advantage of Eleven People vs. One Person's Instant Kill

These 11 people immediately became unhappy, declaring, "Our future will not be dictated by you!"

We have the advantage of 11 against 1. Even if we can't beat you today, we'll ban you!

This declaration is filled with the pathetic smell of the weak banding together for warmth, trying to find confidence in numbers.

The resounding slogans echoed through the heavens and across all realms, drawing merciless ridicule and analysis.

Code Name: Lelouch of the Rebellion World: The Black Knights Command Room

Lelouch Lamperouge sat on the dark command seat, looking at the eleven men in the sky who appeared fierce but were actually cowardly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"What a foolish statement."

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the control panel.

"They made two fatal mistakes."

"First, before the final battle, reveal your trump card to the subordinate. 'Even if you can't defeat me, I will seal you away.' This statement tells the opponent that you have already accepted the possibility of failure, and sealing you away is only a secondary objective. This will greatly boost the opponent's confidence."

"Secondly, and most importantly," Lelouch's eyes flashed with the red light of Geass, "they try to use grand terms like 'future' to mask their inner greed and fear. Those who truly have conviction never need such bluster. Their declarations only expose their weakness."

"They lost the battle the moment the words were exchanged."

The World of The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Cloud Recesses

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Wei Wuxian was leaning against a magnolia tree, laughing so hard he was doubled over, completely lacking any sense of decorum.

"The advantage lies with them? That sounds just like those so-called righteous sects who besieged the mass graves back then!"

He picked up the Emperor's Smile wine he had swiped from Lan Wangji and took a big gulp.

"What's the use of having a lot of people? A flock of sheep, even if there are a hundred or a thousand, is nothing more than food that takes a little more effort to prepare in front of a real tiger."

He glanced at Lan Wangji, who sat upright beside him, and raised an eyebrow: "Lan Zhan, don't you think that makes sense?"

Lan Wangji looked at the sky with a cold gaze and uttered only two words.

"absurd."

"Exactly!" Wei Wuxian slapped his thigh. "It's absurd! These eleven people have mixed auras and impure intentions; they're just a bunch of loose sand. That Jiang Mingzi, his eyes never changed from beginning to end. This isn't a fight; it's like adults watching a bunch of kids play house."

Gintama World: Yorozuya

While picking his nose, Sakata Gintoki listlessly complained, "Ugh... 11 against 1, the advantage is mine... Isn't this just like the old landlady bringing all the aunties on the street to collect rent? Every time they say, 'If you don't pay rent today, we'll shut down your doghouse,' but what happens? I'm still here reading JUMP, all right now."

Shinpachi Shimura pushed up his glasses and retorted loudly, "Gintoki! How can that be the same?! He's a Great Divine Power! He's an existence capable of destroying the world! And didn't you always kneel down and beg for mercy, using all sorts of excuses to stall for time?!"

Kagura, munching on vinegared kelp, mumbled, "Shinpachi, you're too naive, aru. That white-haired guy, like Gintoki, has dead fish eyes. People like that are either useless or incredibly strong. Look at him, not worried at all, which means he's confident he can turn the tables and collect rent from all eleven of them."

After picking his nose, Gintoki flicked the booger away and lazily said, "That's it. True strength isn't about how many people you have. It's about whether your blood sugar is high enough, and whether you have enough strawberry milk to drink..."

The clamor of the myriad worlds had no effect on the confrontation in the heavens.

Those eleven people thought they had the moral and numerical high ground, and they were very aggressive.

Jiang Mingzi, however, responded to them calmly with an expression as if she were watching a show.

However, Jiang Mingzi said that further discussion was pointless; they should fight first.

Before the words were even finished, the action had already begun!

In an instant, all twelve powerful cultivators vanished. Even faster, the hand of the so-called master of the Demon Hunter's Den was severed. Jiang Mingzi was indeed incredibly strong; his attack was swift and decisive.

The scene seemed to freeze at that moment.

One second they were locked in a tense standoff.

In this instant, the bloody (though without blood) ending has already unfolded.

The hand that had just been wantonly slaughtering innocent people had now separated from its owner and traced a brief parabola in the air.

The whole process was so fast that none of the millions of viewers under the sky could see what happened.

Everyone's mind went completely blank.

After a brief period of deathly silence, a terrifying tidal wave erupted like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across all the heavens and the myriad worlds!

【Bleach: Las Noches】

Aizen Sousuke smiled and gently pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light of the sky.

"I see. This isn't a game of speed."

Gin Ichimaru, standing beside him, squinted and chuckled, "Oh dear, Captain Aizen, that's really scary. You can't see anything, and then your hand is gone."

"Gin, what you see is only the surface." Aizen's voice carried a hint of appreciation. "The disappearance of those eleven people was because they activated their own power and entered a battle state. As for Jiang Mingzi's 'disappearance,' it was from another dimension entirely."

"He wasn't simply 'moving,' but in that instant, he directly presented the 'result' of 'cutting off that hand.' His presence had already transcended the eleven people's perception. They thought the battle was about to begin, but they didn't know that the moment Jiang Mingzi decided to act, the fate of one of them had already been written."

"This is absolute dominance. The power that only those who stand at the heavens can possess."

One-Punch Man World: Z City No Man's Land

Saitama, wearing his familiar yellow and red combat suit, was squatting on the ground watching the live broadcast on his phone.

He yawned, his eyes remaining completely expressionless.

"oh."

Genos behind him instantly activated all the analytical instruments in his body, and data streams rolled wildly in his eyes.

"Teacher! Analysis complete! Based on the frame rate, the time from Jiang Mingzi's disappearance to the target's hand leaving the body was less than 0.0001 seconds! His instantaneous burst speed far exceeds the speed of light! No! This can no longer be measured by simple speed! His attack path was completely undetectable, and the energy reaction was zero! This means that his attack did not produce any excess energy leakage; all the force was perfectly applied to the target! This... this has violated the laws of physics!"

Saitama picked at his ear, somewhat bored, and said, "Really? Anyway, it was so fast, and then 'snap,' my hand fell. I thought eleven would be more exciting... but it was still a one-hit wonder. So boring. Genos, eggs are on sale at the supermarket today, let's hurry or they'll all be gone."

【Fate/Zero World: Fuyuki City】

"Hahahaha! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!!"

In the basement of the Tohsaka family's residence, Gilgamesh laughed loudly, the golden goblet in his hand creaking under his grip.

"This is the demeanor of a true king! For a mere scoundrel who dares to provoke me, there's no need to even grant him the right to utter his final words! Words are useless; let's deliver divine punishment through action!"

He looked at Jiang Mingzi's still indifferent figure in the sky, his eyes full of approval.

"Without using any Noble Phantasms, without revealing my true name, I simply used pure force to teach the most arrogant ants the most profound lesson! This wasn't even a battle, just a casual trimming! Let them know who the true master of this courtyard is!"

"Exhilarating! Absolutely delightful! Kirei, fill my cup! Such a beautiful sight deserves a hearty toast!"

【Time Agent World: Time Photo Studio】

Cheng Xiaoshi suddenly stood up from the sofa, her eyes wide open.

"Holy crap! That's it...gone? My hand's gone? Let me replay it!"

He picked up the remote control and dragged the image on the screen back and forth, but no matter how many times he slowed it down, he could only see two images: the Demon Hunter's hand was still there, and the Demon Hunter's hand was gone.

The process in between was completely blank.

"How is this possible! Is it a frame drop? Or was it edited out?"

Lu Guang calmly adjusted his glasses, his voice steady as he spoke: "There were no frame drops, and no editing. It was us... or rather, almost everyone else, who couldn't observe his movements."

He paused, then continued his analysis: "Moreover, look at his target. It was that Demon Hunter Wizard Lord. Among the eleven, he was the first to provoke and the first to slaughter the weak. Jiang Mingzi's attack was not just a show of force, but also a kind of 'declaration'."

"He was telling the rest of them: I kill people according to my own rules. And you broke those rules, so you're the first to die."

[Fox Spirit Matchmaker World: Tushan]

"My God! We're rich! We're rich!"

Bai Yuechu looked at the severed hand, but instead of fear, his eyes gleamed with a glittering "¥" symbol.

"The hand of a great sorcerer! How much demonic power... no, magical power must this contain! If I used it to refine pills, how many life-extending pills could I make! If I used it to craft artifacts, what level of magical treasures could I create! If this thing fell in front of me, I could retire on the spot and buy colorful sticks and chicken legs for the rest of my life!"

Tu Shan Susu peeked out from behind him, her little head sticking out, and asked timidly, "Taoist brother... that person lost his hand... so pitiful... shouldn't we... shouldn't we help him find a doctor first?"

Bai Yuechu shoved her little head back down, saying righteously, "What do you know, you little fool! This is called spoils of war! It's proof of strength! Just you wait, that Jiang Mingzi will definitely put that hand away. This is called 'corpse looting,' a basic operation for the strong! Alas, it's a pity we're too far away, otherwise I would have gone to try and salvage this precious medical resource!"

[Scissor Seven World: Chicken Island]

Wu Liuqi, sporting his rooster-comb hairstyle and holding a pair of scissors, stared in disbelief.

"Wow! That's a really fast blade! Faster than my scissors! How did he do that? Did he teleport there instantly and then snip? That would be so cool for cutting hair! The customer wouldn't even have time to react before the haircut was done! They'd even save on washing, cutting, and styling!"

Chicken Da Bao calmly analyzed from the side: "No, Ah Qi. This isn't about speed. Look at his eyes; they haven't left the same spot from beginning to end. That means he didn't move at all!"

Wu Liuqi was stunned: "It didn't move? How did that hand fall off? Could it be... telekinetic scissors?!"

He immediately closed his eyes and chanted loudly towards a nearby wooden stake, "Break! Break! Break!"

The wooden stake remained completely still.

Chicken Da Bao sighed, "Give me a break. That's a battle of gods. You should be thinking about how to cut your next customer's hair. You still owe me medical bills from this sale."
