Chapter 273 - Chapter 186: One Hundred Thousand Little Yellow Books

Walking through a space tunnel as beautiful as the starry sky, Zeus didn't know how many times she had done this, but this time the space seemed very stable, so Zeus even had some free time to admire the beautiful space tunnel.

"Eh~? What's that?"

Suddenly, Zeus's eyes caught sight of a huge golden object. So, as Zeus walked, she looked towards that massive object. Rather than an object, it was more like a strangely shaped, lion-like thing. Moreover, in front of this thing, there was a giant hourglass, and its eyes were fixed on that giant hourglass, completely oblivious to any movement. Even when Zeus looked at it, it showed no reaction.

"How strange, it looks familiar? Where have I seen it before?"

"Eh!!!!"

"Oh my~."

Zeus, who was observing this familiar object while walking, completely failed to notice a large hole in the tunnel ahead. Having completely forgotten the common sense her parents taught her in childhood, Zeus, while recalling things, simply walked into the large hole and then fell down. At the moment of weightlessness, Zeus finally remembered this small piece of common sense, but it was too late. With a cry of 'Oh my', Zeus, with the last echo, disappeared into the space tunnel.

The moment Zeus fell, the big head of that thing slightly glanced in the direction Zeus disappeared. Its originally emotionless eyes now slowly filled with disdain. How many years had it been? This was the first time it had seen such a person. It had never seen anyone so reckless in space before, not even looking where they were going. Didn't they know that sometimes, the end of some worlds connects to space, creating holes? Now they got the punishment they deserved! Idiot, serves them right.

If Zeus knew what this guy was thinking, she would definitely fight it. How could it talk about people like that?

After a burst of disdain towards Zeus, it resumed its peeping... ahem! Path of observation.

"Where is this?"

Zeus, who had just been spat out by space, touched the large bump on her head from hitting the space wall, and looked at the giant crater at her feet with a bewildered expression. However, one thing was clear: this was a beach. Isn't that obvious? Her feet were covered in sand, she almost got a mouthful of it just now, and there was that slightly fishy sea breeze. This made Zeus very sure of where she was!

"Never mind, old method, identity insertion card."

Pulling out that white card from her earring space, Zeus skillfully used it. After waiting for almost two hours, Zeus, upon receiving the information, suddenly smiled. So, it was here!

"This world is pretty good. My divine body has been reforged, and the Devil Fruit I got from Li Jiayu can be eaten now, but..."

Zeus, with a conflicted expression, pulled out the green cucumber. Looking at the strange patterns and uneven surface, this thing didn't look like a powerful divine item at all. Instead, it resembled a lonely woman's comfort at night. But then she remembered how Li Jiayu used it to replicate abilities and was immune to seawater, making it a BUG-like existence. Zeus gritted her teeth and took a bite of the cucumber.

"Ugh~! Ugh! Oh my! This taste, ugh~~~!"

After swallowing a mouthful, the strange taste in her mouth turned Zeus's face purple. Finding a coconut tree, Zeus leaned against it and began to vomit, just like someone who had drunk too much, throwing up uncontrollably.

Finally recovering, Zeus slumped onto the beach, an unknown liquid still on the corner of her mouth, her eyes staring blankly at the sky as if broken, like a young girl bullied by a dozen large cigars.

"Al... almost passed out, phew~!"

Taking out the spring water from the Fountain of Elves from gate of babylon, Zeus began to rinse her mouth. If the elves knew how Zeus was using their precious spring water, they would probably be desperate to fight her.

"I'm alive. I really admire you, Li Jiayu! How did you manage to maintain your combat strength after eating that? But this ability is indeed very useful."

While admiring Li Jiayu, who was far away in the deepest darkness, Zeus began to use her ability. She slapped her single hand on the ground, and a twenty-meter-tall earthy-yellow giant slowly crawled out of the ground. Given Zeus's mental power, she could directly summon more than a dozen fifty-meter-tall giants without a problem, but she hadn't mastered it yet.

"Good, good."

Zeus, who appeared petite compared to the giant, looked at the powerful giant with a satisfied expression, then withdrew her ability. The giant also turned into clods of earth, burying Zeus.

"Cough cough~! A mistake, truly a mistake. I didn't expect to make so many mistakes in one day. It's like choking on cold water."

Zeus looked at the ocean with a pout. Although she hadn't gotten muddy because she activated her protective shield in time, as soon as she popped out of the ground, Zeus, who had just deactivated her shield, was choked by the dust. This left her speechless.

"Never mind, let's enter this world! Identity Change Card."

After a while, Zeus, whose mood had recovered, took out a purple card from her earring space. Her luck in the past few worlds had been good, allowing her to be near the protagonist, but this time Zeus only drew the identity of a mere extra. So, Zeus prepared to slightly adjust her identity and appearance in this world to better integrate into the plot.

As Zeus used it, the purple card emitted a huge light, enveloping Zeus. When the light disappeared, Zeus also vanished from her original spot, as if she had never been there, leaving only a large sand pit and a pile of earth.

Academy City, Academy City was established by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Aleister Crowley, over several decades. It is a circular city located in the western part of Tokyo, Japan (also including parts of Saitama and Kanagawa prefectures), and its land is surrounded by Japan.

The government acquired all the slower-developing areas of western Tokyo at once and established this "Academy City," which covers about one-third of Tokyo's area. This "city of schools" contains dozens of universities and hundreds of elementary, middle, and high schools [1], with over a thousand large and small "research institutions." Its population is nearly 2.3 million, with eighty percent of its residents (over 1.8 million) being students. "Academy City" possesses the world's most advanced technology, twenty to thirty years ahead of the outside world, and is the leader of the scientific world.

Most of Academy City's students live in school dormitories and undergo ability development in various schools.

Most of Academy City's students acquire superpowers through methods such as drugs, hypnosis, and electrical stimulation. There are various types of abilities, classified by range and power into Level 0 (Ability User), Level 1 (Low-level Ability User), Level 2 (Esper), Level 3 (Great-level Ability User), Level 4 (High-level Ability User), Level 5 (Super-level Ability User), and Level 6 (Absolute-level Ability User). In reality, Absolute-level Ability Users are only theoretically possible to evolve to Level 6, and no character has successfully evolved to Level 6.

And physical examinations are conducted at regular intervals to re-measure abilities, but sixty percent of the students are Level 0, and there are only seven Level 5 Super-level Ability Users in Academy City.

However, beneath this beautiful city, there is also much darkness, such as the elementary school in District 13, where 'orphans,' also known as 'throwaways,' live.

Zeus is now one of them, but now she should be called 'Yowane Shiro.' She used the name and appearance of a virtual singer she liked very much in her previous life. At this moment, she is still in the form of a child, mingling in this elementary school. This is where the plot develops the earliest, but now, Yowane Shiro, surrounded by a group of children, feels a bit helpless and has her own plans.

Now, she wants to use Kiyama Haruue's experiment to instantly develop the AIM Diffusion Field of this body, so she can save effort and not have to develop it slowly. Although it might attract the attention of the Hanged Girl, these are minor matters.

After living here for three months and forming a good friendship with Edasaki Banri, Yowane finally waited for the person she wanted to wait for.

"I am your new teacher, Kiyama Haruue."

"Finally, I've waited for you, Teacher Kiyama," Yowane thought, touching her black hair. This was the result of her disguise. After the experiment was completed, she would reveal her silver hair and red eyes. This way, she would have an excuse that her white hair and red eyes were after-effects of the experiment.
