I can copy the beautiful girl

And it's not just Priscilla, Anastasia and Crusch have also been copied. In other words, one day if I want, I can enjoy the scene of the five royal candidates lying in a row on the bed at any time.

"Well then, Lord Roswaal, please continue by introducing Lady Emilia and Lord Natsuki Subaru."

"After what just happened, I don't think a more detailed introduction is necessary," Roswaal said with a smile. "As you can see, Lady Emilia isn't someone who would be swayed by the slander of a mere half-demon, and I don't think you'll question Natsuki Subaru's knightly defense of his lord. The rest, I'll leave to you two."

Emilia took a step forward and raised her left hand.

The next moment, a gray kitten condensed in her palm.

Parker appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, a fierce cold wave swept across the entire venue, freezing the soul.

"How dare you, a mere human, speak so arrogantly in front of my daughter? If it weren't for my lovely daughter's pleading, I would have turned you all into ice sculptures long ago."

Vigilance, fear, solemnity, timidity...such emotions rose in the air in an instant.

Almost all the knights reacted strongly, drawing their swords and looking at Parker warily.

It's natural to have such a reaction.

After all, although everyone on Earth knows that Parker is a phantom god of civil war, the people of this world don't know! In the eyes of the people of this world, this cute little cat is...

"The beast of permafrost."

Looking at the kitten floating in the air and sitting on Emilia's palm, Miklotov murmured.

"Someone calls me that, too. It seems there are still some young people who are a little sensible."

"It's a rare experience to be treated as a young person at my age."

Everyone's face was stiff with tension, but only Miklotov remained calm in front of Parker with his strong mental strength.

"You can call me whatever you want, define me as you want, but I am an existence that has done something. Aren't you the ones who know this?"

"That's right... Sir Roswaal."

Hearing Puck's words, Miklotov called out to Roswaal. Roswaal accepted the call with a solemn bow, then extended his hand to both Emilia and Puck.

"As Master Miklotov has observed... this extraordinary being is the ancient great spirit known as the 'Beast of the End of the Permafrost,' and is now the contracted spirit of Master Emilia."

"How can it be…"

"One of the four great elves is being enslaved... and a half-demon..."

"You must be joking..."

That’s right, in the eyes of the people in this world, Parker is one of the four great elves.

What are the Four Great Spirits?

The Holy Kingdom of Gustik, one of the four great kingdoms alongside the Kingdom of Lugnica, is located in the north. The reason why its status has never been shaken for thousands of years is because of the existence of the four great elves.

The Holy Kingdom of Gustik is a country where both humans and animals are forced to face harsh tests due to its severe cold and steep mountains.

In an environment with year-round snowfall, only a few cold-resistant crops can be grown. Instead, the country relies on livestock breeding and the many magic ore veins dormant in the towering mountains. The country's national strength is maintained by mining and the sale of magic ore.

And on the top of the sacred peak Padchiya, one of the four great elves, the "Holy Beast Odgras", reigns over the world with absolute power.

Since the founding of the Holy Kingdom of Gustik, Odglas has been forging contracts with the elven messengers who obey him, bearing the name of "Holy King." This has a close relationship with the "Holy King" who will be chosen to rule the country in the future.

Yes, the [Holy King], the supreme ruler of the Holy Kingdom of Gustik, does not stick to bloodline or origin. Instead, the next successor is chosen from among the citizens by the Holy Beast Odgras, one of the four great elves.

It is undoubtedly a transcendent existence that reigns over the four major nations, and its status is equal to that of the dragon that protects the Kingdom of Lugnica.

These are the four great elves.

What they possess is absolute power that is enough to destroy the world.

Well, although everyone on Earth knows that even the four elves who can destroy the world cannot withstand a serious sword from Reinhardt, that is something that can only be known from a God's perspective, and the people of this world do not know it.

Everyone present knew that Reinhard was very powerful, but there were probably only a few who thought that Reinhard was stronger than the four elves and the dragon.

Therefore, in the eyes of 99% of the people present, Parker, who appeared in the throne room at this time, was actually a deterrent existence that could easily kill everyone present.

Apparently, no one except Reinhard could take Puck's threat so easily.

"Including the young man just now, you annoying people, you all didn't turn into ice sculptures right here, thanks to Leah. I was only being so honest because of my lovely daughter's plea—if it weren't for this child's intervention, this place would have turned into an ice sculpture hall long ago."

The elf messenger driving the four great elves.

Just showing Parker's presence can greatly improve Emilia's evaluation.

Although there's no way to reverse Emilia's silver-haired half-elf disadvantage, but...

"Do you accept this threat?"

I asked Miklotov.

Looking at him, I asked seriously, "Emilia possesses the power to kill everyone present and ascend the throne by force—do you accept the premise of this threat?"

Miklotov was silent for a moment, then looked at me seriously. "I can see that this is a faction show. Lady Emilia wants to show off her power, but you don't seem to think so."

"I'm just worried that Parker alone still won't be enough in some people's hearts. After all... it's inevitable that no one will look forward to Reinhardt, right?"

"...Don't you think I shouldn't be hopeful? Even if it's the legendary Four Great Spirits, Lord Reinhard wouldn't necessarily be completely unable to defeat them, right?"

"Honestly, it's not that we can't contend. There's no way Puck could possibly be a match for that idiot Reinhardt. If he really tried to attack, he'd be beheaded instantly. So, Puck alone isn't enough of a threat."

"...I never expected to hear such words from you, a member of Emilia-sama's camp. Even I can't trust Sir Reinhardt as much as you do."

"It's just the truth. As smart as you are, you can tell that just by looking at Reinhardt's still relaxed expression."

"So, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Emilia possesses the power to kill everyone present and ascend the throne by force—Puck alone certainly doesn't hold that kind of weight in your eyes, so let's add me."

I said with a smile.

"If I wanted to kill you all and force Emilia onto the throne, even Reinhard wouldn't be able to stop me. Do you believe this?"

Volume 63: Chapter Nothing wrong

The whole audience fell silent in response to my words.

Miklotov looked at me sternly, then glanced at Reinhardt.

Reinhardt's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but he looked at me with the same serious expression.

Seeing this, Miklotov looked at Crusch again and said directly: "Master Crusch..."

"He didn't lie—that's all I can say."

Crusch frowned and said:

"He was telling the truth when he said the four legendary spirits were no match for Reinhard. He was also not lying when he said he was going to kill everyone and Reinhard could not stop him. I possess the Divine Protection that can see through lies, so I can give the answer. He is indeed not lying—but whether what he said is the truth or just his own belief is unclear to me."

I looked at Reinhardt and asked with a smile, "Reinhardt, do you believe my threat?"

Reinhardt gripped the Dragon Sword in his right hand and spoke seriously, "Subaru, I don't know if this counts as sabotage, or if it's appropriate to say this, but since you've asked, I can only answer truthfully... You have the qualifications to unsheathe the Dragon Sword, and it's indeed stirring, but I don't sense any possibility of you defeating me."

"Defeating you is simply impossible. After all, your strength doesn't lie in how strong you are now, but in how strong you want to be. Facing a jerk like you, even I can't even talk about defeating you."

I saw that Reinhardt's copying took two hours, exactly the same as the invincible Saitama teacher, but I wasn't surprised.

Because the settings of the two of them in their respective works are the same, they are purely invincible in the settings, and their strength in the settings is never about how strong they are now, but about how strong they want to be, the kind of strength that has no upper limit at all.

Oh, of course, when I talk about Saitama-sensei’s setting, I’m referring to the world view of “One Punch Man”. You can just pretend that the bald guy in the world view of “Fatal Fury” doesn’t exist.

Anyway, leaving aside Saitama's side, in the One Punch Man universe, his invincibility is undeniable. He can absolutely dispatch any enemy with one punch if he puts his mind to it. After all, the title is "One Punch Man"—why the hell don't you just change the name to "Fatal Fury"? Wouldn't that really turn me on?

You have to show off your negative storytelling ability! If you don't have that ability, can't you just be a drawing tool?!

Shit, I'm getting angrier and angrier when I think about this. I want to watch the One Punch Man animation to cleanse my brain again.

Suddenly I remembered that I had been saving up for a long time to read the One Punch Man comics, intending to enjoy them properly, but ended up reading a bunch of crap? So I decided to rewatch the anime to cleanse my mind.

Ahem, I was so angry that I went off topic.

In short, let's not talk about Saitama, the invincible man who actually needs to grow and become stronger in battle like the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic in order to defeat Lord Garou. Reinhard's side is different. Although he is also set to be invincible, there is still a being in the zero world who can make Reinhard helpless, and that is a being with conceptual-level power like authority.

However, even with the power of cheating, it can only make Reinhardt helpless, but it is impossible to defeat Reinhardt.

...Don't even mention the rumor that Subaru Natsuki killed Reinhard in the if storyline. Yes, that's a pure rumor. It didn't happen at all.

The only kill in Reinhard's main if storyline was given to the Archbishop of Greed, and he volunteered to be killed... and then he was immediately resurrected unharmed.

This pervert is a cheating person.

He and Saitama-sensei are the only ones who could be thrown onto the moon and jump back purely by relying on their jumping ability.

Who the hell can withstand a pervert that can jump hundreds of thousands of kilometers?

Of course, if it were just this, it wouldn’t be a big deal to me.

As long as I copy it, his power will be mine.

——But the crux of the matter still lies in that point.

Reinhardt's strength does not lie in how strong he is now, but in how strong he wants to be. This is the value of the author's father.

Even Saitama wouldn't make me feel unbeatable, because Saitama's setting is that he broke the human body limiter, and as long as I copy Saitama's ability, I will continue to get stronger at the same speed as Saitama. In this case, the power of other people I copied can widen the gap between me and Saitama, allowing me to defeat Saitama... Although I will never copy Saitama because I don't want to lose my hair, but theoretically speaking, there is no possibility that Saitama will be unbeatable to me.

But Reinhardt is different, because his setting is——

Reinhardt thought, "I want to become stronger."

Changyue Old Thief: "Okay, Dad, tell me how strong you want to become."

I can copy Reinhardt's abilities, but I can't copy his identity as the original author's father!

So, defeating Reinhardt is impossible even for me—at least not for me right now.

"But, Reinhardt, although I cannot defeat you, you cannot defeat me either. And what I am about to do, not even you can stop me. Do you understand?"

“…That might sound a bit arrogant, but unfortunately, Subaru, I don’t feel that way.”

Facing Reinhardt's sincere words, I just smiled.

"This has nothing to do with your perception; it's an objective fact, Reinhardt. You cannot defeat me, nor can you stop me. Unfortunately, in this throne room, at this moment, there is only one person who could possibly defeat and stop me. But that person isn't you, the invincible one, but Mr. Al, the faceless man beside you, scratching his helmet."

"Huh?" Al said in astonishment. "Brother, what does this have to do with me? Talking about me being able to crush the Sword Master is a bit too much. I'm going to get cyberbullied to death."

"I didn't say you could crush the Sword Master. I simply said you're the only one here who could possibly defeat and stop me. Of course, that's assuming I'm completely defenseless against you."

As I spoke, everyone looked at Al.

Al shook his head repeatedly. "Whether you're prepared or not, I'm not that great a figure! Anyone with a bit of discerning eyes can see how weak I am, right?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile again, then raised my right hand and pointed at Al, using a spell that I had just copied from him: "Ol Veil."

——The next moment, Aldibaran’s world fell into darkness.

"What did you do, Subaru? This can't be taken as a joke!"

"Foolish man, even though he was just a clown, he was still the clown that I admire. Are you provoking me?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the whole place became bad.

Reinhard even slightly drew out the Dragon Sword. Priscilla, who had been watching the show with a smile, also narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was about to draw out the Yang Sword and chop him down.

The reason is that Al has disappeared, and only a rolling black sphere is left where Al originally was.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill him. If I had, this would have become his battlefield. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

I took a few steps forward, bent down, picked up the black ball, tossed it, and said with a very satisfied smile:

"Just a little revenge."

Let you imprison me in a ball like this in the future plot. This is called karma, brother.

What? He imprisoned Natsuki Subaru from the original novel, and it has nothing to do with me?

In this world, I am Natsuki Subaru, there is nothing wrong with that.

Volume 1: Chapter 64 You Are Honorable

"Let's get back to the topic."

Tossing the black ball in my hand, I smiled and said to Reinhardt:

"Now that the only obstacle that could stop me has disappeared, my threat to you will be raised to a higher level."

Reinhard slowly unsheathed his sword, his expression serious: "I can't believe this."
