A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

“Yes, I have superpowers.” The spirit Kanon raised her body a meter in mid-air to prove it: “If your appearance hadn’t disrupted my schedule, I would have gone to see the new experimental data with Hitomi last night, and maybe my superpowers could have been further developed.”

Kanon seized on the key point again: "Your superpower was acquired later in life? How did you meet Hitomi... Could this be related to Hina and Mao?"

"Spot on." The spirit form, Kanon, snapped her fingers, but made no sound. She circled Kanon twice: "Tsk tsk, you actually know about Hina and the other girls with superpowers. Looks like you're quite knowledgeable in your own world~"

"Oh right," Hanon suddenly realized. While she herself didn't understand the spirit Hanon before her, the spirit Hanon didn't understand her either. Although they were both "Ye Hanon," they had experienced different lives and walked different paths. Not to mention, the transmigrator Hanon's past life was that of a true transmigrator...

"I'm so sorry I took over your body." After a moment of silence, Kanon apologized to the spirit Kanon: "You must have been terrified yesterday."

"At first, there was a little bit." The spirit Hanon remained calm throughout. To be honest, this was completely different from what Hanon had imagined. It turned out that the girl who organized the Love Association and chased after girls was not very scheming, superficial, or mercenary. On the contrary, the confused, carefree, and lazy boss that Xiaotong described was closer to the truth.

The spirit Kanon continued, "When I woke up, I found that my soul had left my body. At first, I thought I had gone into a state of demonic possession during my cultivation! But I saw that someone was possessing my body, talking to Butler Ito, and even going to the charity event in my place. Of course, I was a little scared. But my cultivation is quite good, and I can do many things in spirit form, so I don't need to worry about my safety. I'm not in a hurry to drive you away, so I just followed you and observed you for a whole day... You're quite interesting too. It turns out that in another timeline, I didn't become a superpowered girl, but instead became a kung fu girl, hehe."

Hanon blushed: "Ah, I should be the one who's shocked. Another version of me actually has superpowers..." Suddenly, a thought struck her: "By the way, how did you know I'm 'Ya Hanon' from another world?"

“Oh, I had a vague suspicion from the beginning because of your familiarity with our Eagle Wind family, and many of your words and actions have confirmed it.” The spirit Huayin said, “Of course, what you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand. Last night, while you were unconscious, I personally verified it.”

"How could you..." Hua Yin's eyes were full of question marks. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the spirit Hua Yin suddenly raise her hand and hit her chest.

With a "whoosh," the scene resembled the Ancient One fighting the Hulk and Doctor Strange in Avengers: Endgame or Doctor Strange, directly expelling the spirit of the transmigrator, Kanon, from her body. The transmigrator's spirit was undoubtedly in Kanon's appearance, only she wasn't wearing any clothes.

"There will be tourists at the Skytree after dawn, so we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's find a quiet place to talk." The spirit Hanon used her superpowers, grabbing at the air and controlling both the body and the spirit of the transmigrator Hanon. She flew through the air at an extremely fast speed towards Tokyo.

"Why are you spouting classical Chinese poetry all the time? Are you preparing for graduate school entrance exams?!" Actually, that's what the time-traveler, Huayin, wanted to say before she was expelled from her body...

Author's Note: See you all tomorrow!

Section 920, Chapter 911: Zhuangzi's Dream of a Butterfly

The spirit form, Hanon, possessed incredible superpowers. Taking advantage of the early dawn and the scarcity of pedestrians, she dragged Hanon and the physical body along, flying at high speed until they arrived at a deserted forest.

The forest was dense and the stream flowed nearby, making for a beautiful scene. The physical body leaned against a tree trunk by the river, while the two souls of Huayin wandered through the forest, their conversation resembling that of forest fairies.

Starting with the tragic car accident that happened to the Ye family, they embarked on different paths. They talked a lot and exchanged their past experiences. The two of them naturally felt close to each other and spoke freely. The transmigrator, Huayin, even revealed her biggest secret, which was that she was a transmigrator from a more distant world!

As for Kanon in this world, the backstory of the "Angel Girls' Love Association" is not fabricated. She did indeed cheer up with the encouragement of the City Hunter group. However, outside of the rich girls' tea party, she also discovered the superpowered girl Kohina, who had been kicked out of her home by her adoptive father Nitta and had no choice but to perform on the streets while watching street performances. Thus began her secret research on superpowers.

Kanon is intelligent in every world, and with the Takakaze family's endless financial support, her research progressed quickly. In this world, Kanon mastered the method to enhance and control her mental power, and she went further and further down this path, constantly becoming stronger. Even the meeting she was supposed to attend last night was to test a new way of using mental power. If successful, her strength would be even greater.

"You're really strong!" Hana, who had traveled through time, exclaimed sincerely. "I'm afraid my hard-earned martial arts skills are no match for yours. Is this what they call 'outsmarting the enemy'?"

“From an energy level perspective, that’s true.” The spirit Kanon didn’t mince words about this. Perhaps because of her long-term cultivation of spiritual power, she had a very gentle and open-minded personality and always seemed confident. Although they were both Kanon, she appeared much more mature and older than our protagonist Kanon: “But that’s not entirely true.”

“Although I’m not interested in martial arts, there was a news report on TV the other day about a barbarian. He was really strong!” the spirit Kanon said. “His name was Pike, right? You just mentioned that in your timeline, he was your defeated opponent. Actually, I also sneaked into the US military base out of curiosity and secretly saw him…”

Hanon became interested: "Oh? You and Pike fought too?"

“No.” The spirit Huayin shook her head: “But I watched his fights with those martial artists and estimated the outcome of the encounter. If it were a one-on-one fight, then Pike would lose as soon as I made a move, without any chance of resistance. But in a dynamic environment, Pike’s ferocity, speed, and strength are very troublesome. If he seizes an opening and launches a surprise attack, I might also be defeated… The result is already clear, so I didn’t show myself and went straight home.”

“Okay…” Kanon laughed self-deprecatingly: “Maybe it’s because I changed the timeline that you went down a different path; maybe… this is the path that the real Kanon should have taken. I love fighting because I was originally a man.”

"A man? Don't you understand?" The spirit Huayin winked at the Huayin who had transmigrated, flew a little further away, and scrutinized her: "Although I don't know how you obtained this memory, and it is so detailed that it even affects your perception of your own existence, I am very certain that you are 'Ye Huayin' herself."

She pointed at Huayin: "Look at your spirit body, it's no different from mine, we're both 'Ye Huayin,' that can't lie."

"Hiss—" Hanon gasped, "So I really am... me? It's just that the extra memories are so real that they've messed up my thinking?"

In other words, Kanon has always been a true girl, and her past belief that she changed from a man to a woman after transmigrating was just due to interference from her new memories.

But if that's the case, why are her original memories so blurry...?

"Don't overthink it." The spirit Huayin interrupted her: "The world is vast and wondrous. There are so many things about the soul, spirit, and memory that we don't understand. Zhuangzi dreamed of being a butterfly, or the butterfly dreamed of being Zhuangzi. Does it really matter who you are? Even when we couldn't explore the truth, didn't you still walk this path? My advice is simple: think and act the way you did before, and do the same way from now on. That's enough."

“…Yes, you’re right.” Kanon was convinced and stopped being confused. She looked at the spirit Kanon who looked exactly like her: “You’re really amazing!”

Honestly, now I understand why the spirit form Kanon's private life is so "playful". She is not the kind of person who plays around, but with her family background, strength and temperament, it is incredibly easy for her to attract girls' admiration!

After being praised, the spirit Hanon waved her hand and said playfully, "Calm down, calm down, it's just a normal operation." Then she suddenly floated to the side, and Hanon followed, and the two came to the riverbank.

"Regarding the soul, spirit, and memory, I really can't help you much, even though this is a field I've studied for a long time," the spirit Hanane said. "But I can hear the worry in your tone that this world is not your original world, but has been altered by multiple time travels. I can explain that to you."

The spirit form of Hana's physical body was unremarkable, but her spiritual power was highly cultivated. Even in her spirit form, she could still wield powerful superpowers. With a wave of her hand, a large clump of clear river water rose from the stream, condensing into a giant sphere that floated in the air.

“Let me use a model to illustrate this,” said the spirit Huayin, holding a water sphere. “This is the universe that was just created in the chaos.”

"Pfft—" Just as Hanon looked over in confusion, the water sphere shot out a powerful water arrow, straight ahead, even piercing through the tree trunk in the distance! The spirit Hanon's voice came faintly: "After the Big Bang, time began to flow, moving forward with the increase of entropy."

"But! Time is not always a straight line. It can branch out at times. It may start with fluctuations in the entropy of the universe, and then it will change depending on people's choices." The spirit Huayin manipulated the water arrow to split into two streams, then three streams, then four streams... Soon, a dense network of "timelines" was woven.

"This is what's called a 'parallel universe'," the spirit Huayin said. "Your worry about traveling back in time and changing the timeline is unnecessary, because..."

She manipulated a pebble to float up and block the path of a tributary water jet. The powerful current instantly shattered the pebble, and it was not only unable to go upstream, but it was also completely destroyed!

"Theoretically, it's not impossible to reverse time and return to one's own past, but that would require an immense amount of energy. I've estimated the magnitude of that energy in the lab... It's impossible. With current human technology, even if we used up all the world's energy, we couldn't do it."

Hanon understood a little: "So my time travel was actually..."

"Yes, it seems you've thought of that too." The spirit Huayin smiled and picked up another, more solid pebble, placing it in front of the water. This time, the pebble wasn't broken, but it couldn't be pushed back. Instead, it was swept away by the water and launched into another stream.

"This is you. You were swept away by the flow of time to another timeline." The spirit form, Hanon, opened her arms and hugged Hanon. "Welcome to my world~"

Author's Note: Sorry, I was discussing some things with my girlfriend today, so it's late. I'll only be able to post two chapters so far. These two chapters will explain the concept of parallel universes and also lay the groundwork for later plot developments. No one truly understands the science of time; the setting in this book is just my own immature fantasy, so please don't take it seriously—it's just a joke.

As for whether it was a time traveler who traveled through time and space to reach Kanon, or Kanon who traveled through time and space to gain memories of another world... we'll find out in the ending.

Section 921, Chapter 912: Let's find a sparring partner.

Both of Hanon were in spirit form, so the hug was just for show. The spirit Hanon passed right through Hanon, and the two smiled at each other.

Hanon shrugged: "It seems I'll have to bother you a bit now that I've been banished to a parallel universe."

Her feelings were somewhat complicated, but overall more positive than negative. Although she had left her familiar environment, at least her time travel would not affect those familiar people: Kirito Takakaze, Butler Itō, Miho, Garuda, Uncle Kuroki, Hitomi, Guo Haihuang, Retsu Kaioh... They would all continue to live in that era, only without Kanon.

Just as Kanon was feeling melancholy, the spirit Kanon burst out laughing: "Is my world really that scary? It makes you look so bitter and resentful... Hehe, just kidding. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, you'll soon return to your own time."

"Eh—" Kanon's mouth dropped open: "You know that too?"

The spirit Kanon pointed to her eyes: "I have superpowers~" Then she pointed to Kanon: "I sensed a spiritual energy fluctuation on you, subtly pulling you. I believe that in the world you live in, there is someone with strong spiritual power trying to pull you back."

"I see, I think that must be Grandma Tokugawa Hanako..." Hana wasn't stupid. She had traveled back in time because of Hanako, so it made sense that Hanako had a way to bring her back. "So, I guess my many previous time travels were also because of this?"

“That’s right~” Before the water model explaining the parallel universe had faded, the spirit Kanon gave a new explanation. She waved her hand at the body that was sleeping against the tree trunk, and a rubber band that girls often use to tie their hair floated over. The spirit Kanon fixed one end of the rubber band to the waterway, and the other end was used to catch the stones that had been washed into other waterways.

"The spiritual energy pulling on your body is similar to this rubber band. Its power cannot withstand the impact of the flow of time all the way from the distant waterway to bring you back. It can only choose a roundabout way."

The pebble, held by the rubber band, couldn't directly return to its original channel under the impact of the water flow, but the rubber band prevented it from drifting aimlessly. It eventually traced an arc, traversing multiple waterways, getting closer and closer to its original anchor point until it was almost parallel to the water. Then, the spirit Hana took out another rubber band, looped it around the pebble, and pulled it back to its original channel.

"This is the model," the spirit Kanon concluded. "We can't change the past on our own timeline, but we can be swept into the ancient times of other parallel universes by the turbulent flow of time, thus creating new parallel universes. In the process of you being pulled back by the power of the original world, each time you traveled through a new timeline along the way, until you reached a position parallel to your original era—which is why you are now appearing in my world. The person pulling you back in the original world only needs to exert a little more effort to bring you back."

"R-Really? That's amazing!" Kanon cheered, her spirit form spinning in the air many times. "I'm so happy~"

Once things calmed down, Kanon regained her fighting spirit. Even in her soul form, she had to flex her muscles—even though nothing had actually happened—and said, "When we get back, I'm going to fight Musashi again! This time, I'll definitely send him away in a good way!"

"Oh dear, you really harbor a deep resentment towards him." The spirit Hanon smiled from the side. She had already heard Hanon tell Musashi's story. "You won by a narrow margin before. Are you more confident now?"

"Of course~ I'm a genius~" When it comes to martial arts, Hanon is really qualified to act as an expert in front of the spirit Hanon. More than an expert, he's practically an Einstein-level super genius!

"I've figured out what Yang Miaozhen meant by 'sacrificing oneself to create momentum' at the end." Hanon also told the spirit Hanon about her experiences during her journey: "I was completely confused at first, but the attack of the 'Fire Spirit God' by Shishio Makoto at the end of the Edo period gave me a profound insight."

"Oh, so that's the weirdo covered in bandages who finally subdued you?"

"Hmph, Shishio's true strength is far inferior to mine. If he hadn't spontaneously combusted, I would have already devised a counterattack plan... However, his final frenzy did indeed fit the concept of 'sacrificing oneself to create momentum.' If I, with my skill level comparable to Musashi, had used it, the outcome would have been different." It's a pity I don't have a body now, otherwise Hanon's face would definitely be flushed with excitement: "The so-called 'sacrificing oneself to create momentum' is ten parts offense and zero defense. Even if you are at a disadvantage in a battle, you dare to take a step forward and launch a fierce attack on the enemy, forcing the enemy to retreat. And if the fierce attack continues, the enemy can only remain in a turtle forever until the moment the turtle shell is broken."

“Emmm…” The spirit Kanon thought for a moment, “This doesn’t seem to be anything very profound.”

"Everyone has thought about it, but putting it into practice is very difficult. Taking a step forward regardless of safety when the situation is even or even unfavorable requires immense courage, especially against Miyamoto Musashi's 'Niten Ichi-ryu'. His swordsmanship... even I feel a chill when I think about it occasionally! Moreover, 'sacrificing oneself' is difficult, and 'creating momentum' is also difficult. It's not like just anyone can suppress Musashi. When Yang Miaozhen gave me advice, she didn't think that I could defeat Musashi by changing my tactics. In fact, the tactics I used when fighting Musashi were already at their limit, doing the best I could. To suppress Musashi, the key to 'creating momentum' requires me to rely on my innate physical abilities to develop a sustainable and powerful offensive technique..."

She threw a punch in mid-air: "I think, with my physical abilities in my original world, I can achieve this by properly honing the technique of 'Double Force'!"

"Please allow me to pour some cold water on this." The spirit Huayin thought for a moment and said, "From your description of 'Double Force,' it seems to be just a substitute for your original 'Exploding Core' technique. Can it really help you defeat that Miyamoto Musashi? Are you sure that when Musashi faces this move, he won't be able to find a chance to counterattack after being briefly suppressed, just like when you faced 'Fire-Born Spirit God'?"

In her area of ​​expertise, it was Kanon's turn to remain calm: "No problem~ Please allow me to revise my previous statement—I'm not trying to 'refine the technique of Double Force,' but rather, inspired by the principles of Double Force, I've vaguely conceived of another, stronger, no, perhaps the strongest, technique! If I can execute that ideal move, Miyamoto Musashi probably wouldn't be a match for me~"

"Wow! Amazing!" This time it was the spirit Hanon's turn to look at her with longing: "Actually, you can stay in my world for a few more days. I'll hand over control of my body to you. Why don't you use my body for practice? I'd really like to see what this amazing technique you admire so much looks like."

"No problem!" Although their personalities and experiences had changed, the two Kanon characters were still very compatible, and Kanon readily agreed.

After agreeing, she had some concerns: "Practice is fine, but I lack suitable sparring partners. It's difficult to do tests if I'm just shooting at targets, which is a bit of a problem... I need to find a few sparring partners, like Brother Lie, Adam, Master Heimu, etc. Unfortunately, they don't know me in this timeline."

"Do you need a skilled sparring partner?" The spirit Huayin leaned closer. "I do know where to find skilled ones."

"You know her?" Hua Yin looked at her. "What kind of expert is she?"

“I don’t know them, but I do have my own forces, and I have some intelligence.” The spirit Huayin smiled. “I heard that there will be a duel in a few days between a father and son. They are said to be the strongest in the world.”

Author's Note: Hmm, the battle between Kanon and Yujiro is about to unfold unexpectedly on another timeline.

Section 922, Chapter 913: Fan Mayong Huahua

The sky gradually darkened.

A man put down his binoculars and turned around; it was none other than Naoto Kanzaki, a cabinet minister of Japan. But this high-ranking official was respectful, smiling obsequiously at another person beside him: "Lord Tokugawa, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be tonight. The location is the upscale hotel across the street. I have already instructed the military and police to prepare for the evacuation of the surrounding area."

“Very good, thank you for your hard work. I owe you a favor. Thank you for fulfilling my last wish as a dying man.” Sitting next to Kanzaki was Tokugawa Mitsunari, but in this timeline, he was terminally ill and had little time left. He was so weak that he could not stand up and could only slump in his chair. He was also observing the building across the street through binoculars: “Once the Hanma father and son start fighting, please be sure to disperse the surrounding residents to avoid unnecessary casualties.”

Tonight, Yujiro Hanma invites Baki Hanma to dinner at a hotel on a high floor of the building across the street. Recently, this strongest father and son are preparing for a showdown, which Mitsunari Tokugawa is closely watching. Similarly, due to Yujiro Hanma's great influence, the Japanese government has been forced to keep an eye on the Hanma father and son for several days, ready to evacuate the crowd at any time.

"Gulp." Kanzaki swallowed hard. Although he wasn't a martial artist, the immense mental pressure had already made him incredibly tense. "Yujiro Hanma's strength is undeniable; even America was helpless against him. Now, has his son grown to the point where he can rival his father? What a terrifying family! Now that the prince is preparing to challenge the king, I wonder what his feelings will be..."

Well, at this very moment, Baki Hanma is preparing to leave for his appointment. This is the first time in his life that his father has invited him to dinner, so he has to prepare properly.

To this end, he fought countless powerful enemies, survived many life-or-death moments, and suffered countless blows. Not long ago, he even engaged in a series of fierce battles with the incredibly tenacious warrior, Shiba Chiharu. Although Shiba Chiharu's strength was far inferior to his, his relentless endurance truly taught Baki a lesson, and also helped the son of the "world's strongest creature" to further improve in both martial arts and spirit, making him even more confident when challenging his father...

Eh, so it all boils down to preparing for a fight? Of course! Nobody thinks Baki is really going to dinner tonight. The father-son showdown is probably happening today, and years of grudges and complicated thoughts will all be poured into this battle.
