"Is she from this world?"
Kushina relaxed slightly as Kei Yamanaka took over the treatment.
Surviving such severe injuries—despite having no heart—her vitality was astonishing. Perhaps not quite reaching the level of Onee-san Tsunade, but certainly far stronger than most ninja.
"No, when I crossed through the World Portal..."
As he explained the woman's origins, Kei Yamanaka pulled out a White Zetsu body from Daikokuten. He swiftly transplanted the White Zetsu's heart and replaced her severely damaged internal organs.
Eyeing the near-dead Zetsu that was on the verge of turning into a tree, he decided it would be a waste not to make use of the remains. Without concern for whether they matched her size, he also gave the woman a brand-new pair of legs.
He hadn't had a chance to examine her closely before.
Now, while tending to her wounds, he carefully observed her clothing and the wild power within her body. He quickly identified the source world based on its weak power signature.
It was Claymore!
A brutal world, as harsh as the Ghoul World.
In this world where demons exist, humans fight back by grafting demon flesh onto themselves, gaining and wielding demonic powers.
But if overused, they risk being overtaken by the very demonic power they wield and becoming demons themselves.
Due to various factors, male users tend to become demons easily.
So aside from the original test subjects—who had all already transformed—every other active Claymore tasked with hunting and killing demons were female.
The world was filled with tough, cool-as-hell big-sister Claymores.
Still, Kei found it hard to truly like such a world.
He carefully studied the golden-haired woman's face.
He decided against trying to identify her.
After all, in that world, too many of them looked alike!
And considering the shift from two-dimensional to three-dimensional features, plus her typical Western blonde hair and blue eyes, from his Eastern perspective, she wasn't particularly attractive.
Without hesitation, he stored the nearly-tree-form Zetsu inside Daikokuten for future reuse.
Spiritual energy crackled at Kei's fingertips as he used Yin-Yang Release across her open abdominal cavity.
Broken and missing bones slowly regenerated and grew back.
Skin cells divided and healed rapidly.
Kei pulled out a robe from the Boundless Realm and draped it over her.
Hands off, hands off.
Though most Claymores, due to their implanted demon flesh and life experiences, had lost their human feelings and emotions, respect was still important.
"Couldn't you have picked a slimmer White Zetsu? She's a girl, after all."
Kushina rubbed her forehead, looking at the legs—thicker than her boyfriend's thighs.
Such a tall, striking blonde with fair skin and striking features...
But those legs!
And those enormous feet...
Well, legs are better than none, but this might be pretty awkward for her later!
"It's okay, her cells should be able to consume and absorb the White Zetsu cells. After ten days or half a month, she'll gradually recover."
Kei Yamanaka casually waved his hand.
He was already willing to bring her back—mainly because she had been dragged into this mess due to the dimension-crossing disturbances he caused.
Plus, he also wanted to take this chance to find out what that world looked like, and whether it was worth visiting.
But...
It just didn't seem all that interesting!
Although swordswomen who are both cool and charming did sound quite visually appealing.
Still, unless he urgently needed to collect some system rewards, a medieval-style world full of demons really wasn't that attractive to him anymore—he'd long since left the information age behind!
Otherwise, he would've just tackled this golden-haired, blue-eyed girl already.
Yeah, time to extract her memories!
Moreover...
He still hadn't figured out exactly what kind of world he had come to in the first place!
Was this Avatar?
Those creatures' appearances and this icy environment definitely didn't look anything like it!
Kei Yamanaka stroked his chin in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
Towering figures—with dark blue skin, orange-red eyes—and an ice-covered world!
Jotunheim, Frost Giants?
"Did I seriously end up in the Marvel universe!?"
Kei Yamanaka frowned slightly, then warned Kushina not to approach too closely once this female swordsman woke up.
Then he used Otsutsuki Teleportation to leave Chen Ge Hu, returning instantly to his original position from before.
Dozens of towering humanoid creatures watched helplessly as he vanished into thin air, now standing bewildered on the ice, looking around while chattering in guttural tones.
The moment they suddenly saw him reappear, they immediately burst into excited howls!
[Six Paths – Shinra Tensei!]
Kei Yamanaka raised his hand and grabbed one of the giant humanoids by the head. A powerful repulsive force erupted outward in every direction in an instant!
Crackling sounds rang out—like fireworks exploding midair.
More than thirty huge beings flung away by the Six Paths-level Shinra Tensei slammed violently into nearby icebergs, their bodies erupting into sprays of meat pulp within moments!
Kei Yamanaka closed his eyes briefly, extracting the memories of this creature in his grasp, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Guessed correctly!
This really was the Marvel universe!
And judging from the information this being possessed regarding Asgard.
This was likely the cinematic version of the Marvel multiverse!
Without hesitation, he tossed aside the frost giant whose eyes were glazed over and had been rendered mindless due to Kei's forced rapid memory extraction.
Kei Yamanaka was about to use this frost giant's knowledge to locate Laufey, King of the Frost Giants.
To obtain further intel and head toward Midgard in the Marvel Universe.
Suddenly, an icy-blue beam streaked across dozens of kilometers in an instant, as if it could freeze everything in its path, locking onto his exact location!
Damn strong!
His arm hairs bristled with goosebumps. It had been a long time since he last felt such an intense sense of danger—but without thinking, he instinctively activated Otsutsuki Teleportation, reappearing several kilometers above the ground.
The moment the icy-blue beam struck the ground, absolute freezing power erupted instantaneously.
Everything within a ten-kilometer radius was instantly frozen solid.
Even Frost Giants—innately resistant to cold and capable of absorbing frost energy—were frozen solid like statues, temporarily unable to break free.
"This is Laufey, the Frost Giant King who blinded Odin, a Celestial-level being, with a surprise attack? Didn't they say this guy was useless without the Casket of Ancient Winters?"
Kei Yamanaka hovered thousands of meters above the ground, staring at the monstrous attack covering over ten kilometers, taking a deep, steadying breath.
He quickly ran through the Marvel power scale in his mind.
In the movies, Laufey did seem somewhat weak, but that made sense—he wasn't the main character. Would they even waste any special effects budget on him?
Yet in the background lore, this very guy used the Casket of Ancient Winters to ambush Odin and took out one of his eyes—a Celestial-level warrior!
A Celestial-level!
Even if it was a surprise attack, not everyone could pull that off!
Looks like I need to start taking this seriously. Getting wiped out this early in the Marvel world? That'd be seriously unfair!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of kilometers away, fueled by the endless frost energy of Jotunheim, Laufey's size multiplied hundreds of times in seconds!
Rising into a two-hundred-meter-tall giant.
"You slaughtered my people! Whoever you are, you won't leave Jotunheim alive!"
Amidst the deafening roar,
the language of the Frost Giants, empowered by sorcery, echoed as comprehensible thoughts in Kei Yamanaka's mind.
The sky and earth changed color. Glacial-crystal-like frost energy rained down from the sky, its icy chill felt like countless steel blades piercing at Kei's spiritual power shield and attacking his body.
[Six Paths Sage Art: Susanoo!]
Kei Yamanaka formed a one-handed seal, golden spiritual energy gathering across his body. Golden skeletal armor began to form in an instant.
With a flood of spiritual energy poured in, within moments, a massive armored giant emerged—nearly a thousand meters tall, its physical form almost fully materialized from pure energy!
It wore Cloud-Devouring Scale Mail adorned with all kinds of beasts, a golden circlet binding his hair, and held a golden halberd in hand.
You little Laufey, think you can pull a sneak attack on me?
Let's see how your golden version of Lu Bu's Heaven-Sundering Demonic Blade fares against *this*!
Bang!
Laufey, the Frost Giant King towering over two hundred meters high, had barely lifted his left foot before halting mid-motion.
Facing a Susanoo five times larger than himself—like an adult facing off against an infant—his hesitation was clear: charge forward or retreat?
He'd already issued the challenge. Backing out now would destroy his authority over Jotunheim!
But...
Charging in blindly might only make the humiliation worse!
"The Nine Realms you rule, Odin—are nothing but trash. And so are you!" [CENSORED]… Frigga will be mine soon enough!
As Laufey spat out insults, he raised his middle finger toward Asgard.
He knew.
Somebody was definitely watching this!
And they'd definitely report this to Odin right away!
"???!"
Standing atop the forehead of the Susanoo version of Lu Bu, Kei Yamanaka had already raised his golden halberd.
Hearing those verbal assaults, his eyebrow twitched violently.
Vrrr~~
A powerful surge of energy erupted in a burst of rainbow light, descending between Kei Yamanaka and Laufey.
A blazing jet of energy erupted from the tip of Gungnir, the Eternal Spear, directly sending Laufey flying backward!
Riding his white horse, Odin stepped forth from the radiant glow.
The biting words he had prepared for Laufey died in his throat the moment he saw the golden Susanoo towering over kilometers in height.
F***!
That cunning Frost Giant, Laufey—was he actually calling for backup?!
He—sovereign of the Nine Realms!
