I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"In my current memory, he was a staunch supporter of the idea that everyone can be a dragon!"

Brin raised her face, half of her beautiful face falling into shadow, a strange and sinister smile on her face.

"you....."

"A demon! A true demon!" The gods in the prison were terrified by Pudding's demonic smile and words.

"Such methods are too ruthless!"

If even the most powerful giant among them can have his memories rewritten at will, then their resistance is meaningless, and even dying with dignity is a luxury!

The group walked out of the prison.

Pudding walked at the very back of the group, and before she knew it, Sieg appeared beside her.

"Young lady, your acting is quite good; you're very immersed in the role," Sieg said softly.

Brin shuddered.

She was born into the Charlotte family, and as a child, she was even mocked by her aunt for having a third eye on her forehead, saying that she was a tool created by her aunt to study the Poneglyphs.

In order to fit in with the Charlotte family and protect herself, she wore a mask from a very young age, playing the role of a ruthless daughter who tried to fit in.

She is a very good actress, able to seamlessly switch between a kind and innocent woman and a scheming and evil woman, easily deceiving others, but in fact, the former is her true nature hidden deep in her heart.

However, Sieg's gaze seemed to see right through her, which made her feel somewhat at a loss.

Sieg said meaningfully:

"An excellent actor possesses flawless and superb acting skills, and on stage, he seems to become the character himself."

"However, if you wear a mask for too long, it will become a part of your face."

"Actors who are deeply immersed in their roles are excellent. But that's not enough."

"After getting into character, you need to get out of character. Only by not letting the character affect you can you improve your acting skills."

“…I know, thank you,” Pudding said softly, following behind Sieg with her head down.

Sieg paused for a moment, then continued:

"This method of fabricating memories might fool the giant for a short time, but whether he'll discover it in the long run remains to be seen..."

"The gods are very old, and their beliefs about the gods and angels are deeply ingrained. Even threats of death or torture may not be able to shake them."

"Such methods are indeed drastic, but for serious illnesses, strong medicine is necessary."

"This is the most time-saving method."

He was saying these words to Pudding, to reassure her and put her mind at ease... But Sig underestimated Pudding; having come from Big Mom's crew, she was no longer some innocent, naive girl.

The guardian deity beside him seemed rather sentimental.

The one-armed guardian beside him glanced at Sieg without saying a word, his heart filled with turmoil.

"The idea of ​​'everyone can be a dragon' sounds good, but his methods are truly inhumane. Is this what bandits are like?"

"but...."

"For this country, even a dark sun is still a sun, and it's better than a small flame that's been blown out by the wind."

The gatekeeper lowered his eyelids, a slight sense of relief washing over him.

He had prepared for the worst, but the current situation seems to be much better than he had imagined.

...................................

The transformation of God's Kingdom is in full swing.

The bandit gang took over the divine island and suppressed the entire divine kingdom with absolute force.

Sieg's methods were brutal, but even so, making a change is not something that can be done overnight.

Sigurd entrusted the trial to the guardian deity and the giant god. Sigurd was more concerned about Vegapunk's research: Vegapunk expressed his wish to reside in the divine realm for a period of time so that he could focus on his research.

And this was exactly what Sieg wanted.

The God Kingdom is a safe zone outside the World Government's sight, and he plans to live a peaceful and monotonous life there, which is one of the reasons why he is actively transforming the God Kingdom.

"But I feel like I've forgotten something..."

Sig thought for a moment and then opened the system panel.

"Character Card: Yuta Togashi, 100% compatibility."

Yuta Togashi is the only SS-rank permanent character card that Sig has.

This card helped him fight against Logia-type and some Paramecia-type Marine Admirals and great pirates in his early years, which can be considered a great contribution.

Later, this led to the creation of numerous lies, including the existence of the Black Flame Dragon...

Back when I first got my hands on those chuunibyou cards, Sig was a newbie who often cringed to the point of dropping his toes because of his cringeworthy lines. Now he's a seasoned ASS who's always spouting witty remarks. It's true what they say, the world is going to the dogs.

Playing the demon in the eyes of the gods, ending their rule in a flamboyant way, and even encountering the Black Flame Dragon... undoubtedly boosted his compatibility to the maximum.

"When the compatibility reaches 100%, a random card related to the original character can be randomly drawn."

As consciousness entered the familiar sea of ​​stars, a giant roulette wheel appeared before him, with cards emerging one after another.

There's Rikka Takanashi, a high school girl wearing a single eyepatch; there's the Evil King's True Eye radiating golden light; and there are bandages tied around her arms.

The roulette wheel stopped, and the card that appeared before Sig's eyes was an image of a black dragon tattoo on his arm.

Instead of drawing extra character cards or item cards, Sig randomly drew additional skills, similar to the KING cards from back then.

Character Card: Yuta Togashi

Quality: SS grade

Source: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions

ability:

Chuunibyou Power: Chuunibyou energy can be accumulated by performing chuunibyou actions. When the energy reaches 50, the ability [Dark Flame Master] can be temporarily activated. The maximum value of the chuunibyou energy gauge is twice the compatibility percentage.

Dark Flame Master (Stages 1-4) ----- The Dark Flame Master who controls the power of dark flames. From Stage 1 to Stage 4, the effects are respectively Illusory Fire, Energy Collision, Scene Destruction, Realization of Illusion (If you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't), and the Mind World. The cost increases with each stage.

Life Embedding -------- Consumes 200 Chunibyo Energy to seal and implant non-human creatures that do not resist into a part of the body, and gain corresponding abilities based on the sealed creature.

.........................

He's really become the Black Flame Dragon Jinchūriki...

Sig suddenly remembered the black flame dragon that had called for its mother, and his eye twitched.

Upon closer inspection, there was another line of prompts below the system text.

(【Life Possession】is incompatible with Touma Kamijou's 【Imagine Breaker】; the two abilities cannot be active simultaneously.)

Speaking of which, Yuuta Togashi is a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer in a school anime, whose card ability is to turn fantasy into reality.

On the other hand, Touma Kamijou is the male protagonist of a superpower anime, whose ability is Imagine Breaker, which can erase all fantasies.

While the two are diametrically opposed, they also share some similarities in their premise.

The idea that a powerful foreign entity resides within the body, such as a nine-tailed fox, a black flame dragon, or a fantasy destroyer, is a trendy concept popular in the industry.

However, since both cards with opposite effects are currently possessives, a conflict exists...

Sig first uninstalled the Touma Kamijou character card, and then planned to try out the new ability [Life Possession].

"Non-human creatures that don't resist?" Sig pondered for a moment and had a bold idea.

"I feel like I'm invincible, I'm about to become invincible."

..................................

A moment later.

Sig stood at the top of the World Tree and plopped down on the trunk.

He glanced around a few times, and after confirming that no one was around, he muttered to himself:

"Tree-chan, my body is quite large, want to come and play?"

Sieg reached out and gently patted the rough, tough bark of the World Tree, his smile eerie:

"Nice figure, quite muscular."

"Not saying anything? So shy?"

"Come on in, let's go inside and I'll show you how to open the door to a new world."

"Tree-chan, if you don't speak, it means you're not resisting, which is tantamount to admitting it."

With a wicked grin, Sieg reached out his claws toward the World Tree.

As the demonic flames surged, all the chuunibyou energy that Sig had accumulated burst forth, wrapping around the World Tree. A powerful suction force erupted, pulling the World Tree toward Sig's body.

At this moment, the enormous World Tree, which could reach a height of ten thousand meters and was large enough to support an entire Sky Island nation, suddenly began to tremble violently!

The World Tree is very large.

Its above-ground portion reaches a height of 10,000 meters, soaring straight into the white sea above the clouds.

The underground part also has a huge, intricate root system.

Take another great tree in the One Piece world, the Sun Tree Eve, as an example. Its underground part reaches Fishman Island, 10,000 meters below the sea, while its head appears on the Red Line, transmitting sunlight from the land into the seabed.

The Sun Tree Eve is special; it is the mother tree that shelters Fishman Island and is like the sun.

The World Tree is an unimaginably enormous and quite mystical entity. In the legends of the gods, the World Tree is the origin of Devil Fruits and is closely related to the ancestral gods.

Although it was just a legend of unknown veracity, Sieg was quite eager to give it a try.

But at that moment, Sieg felt as if he were about to crack open.

He suddenly felt...it was too big, and it seemed like he couldn't fit in.

The system panel unfolded automatically, and a series of system prompts appeared. Sieg glanced at them; they seemed to be warnings.

Therefore, Sieg had no choice but to stop this presumptuous act of trying to swallow a whale.

Despite giving up, Sieg still felt somewhat reluctant.

He stroked the rough, iron-gray tree trunk with a gentle expression, his tone tinged with reluctance:

"Tree-chan, one day I will become a man worthy of you..."
