Chapter 912: Chapter 780: The Independent World is a Bit Strange (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Li Mingqing Baudelaire)_4
But my Talent remains unaffected, and having learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, my Innate Demon Body, magnified by three instances of Deification, means I’m not starting off too badly. As long as it’s not a troublesome world, it’s wholly sufficient.
If it really is a troublesome world, then I’ll directly confront the World Will with my own Will.
Even if the World Will of an independent world is extremely strong, that would only mean a faster depletion of Sacred Intent; in times of need, the Gate of Guf could even be directly opened!
“However, if I don’t use Sacred Intent to contend, our passive ‘Immunity’ should suffice to suppress the World Will. If I were to fully mobilize Sacred Intent, it might trigger an ‘Immune Storm’; aside from facing the World Will, there’s no guarantee against powerful ‘Immune Cells’ coming after me. I must be cautious and understand the background first…”
When forcefully using Sacred Intent, timing and duration must be carefully considered to not exceed the limits of ‘Immunity’.
A discreet Outsider like us should not provoke the World Will of this world to drastic action…

Swish~
The fire starter from the wilderness survival gear ignites some dry leaves, which in turn light the wood. Our group has circled this island and confirmed that it’s uninhabited. However, there is a source of water, as well as signs of past human habitation.
“Looking at those rudimentary thatch huts and some broken pottery, it seems to be some kind of tribe, and I’ve also spotted remnants of this kind of lighter nearby, so it should be the modern backdrop Mr. Tao mentioned.”
Jane took out a windproof lighter tangled with mud.
Tao Yu glanced at it and nodded in confirmation.
This lighter bears ‘pearls’ that even the big cities can’t produce; a modern setting is expected.
It’s possible that a small tribe once lived on this island and was moved elsewhere.
“From the highest point, I saw other islands nearby, with the sea surface barely showing traces of boats passing by. It doesn’t seem to be too desolate an area. Perhaps we can try crafting a wooden boat.”
Minato Namikaze shared his observations.
Hearing about sightings of ships and other islands, Tao Yu felt even more certain of the situation.
He then looked up at the sky; an independent world with complete planetary and cosmic details would certainly have satellites.
But even if satellite resolution is high, it’s unlikely they would constantly monitor a desolate island, so it won’t lead to discovery.
Making use of the trees here to build a wooden boat and moving toward populated areas to gather more information seems like a good choice.
However, in modern society, one should be mindful of getting some legal identity, which might take some time.
“I do hope it’s somewhere in the Western world.”
In America, there are people on the fringe; in Europe, there are refugees. Both have many undocumented immigrants, which are easier to deal with relatively.
Even as an undocumented person, it’s possible to obtain a corresponding ID.
Reborn only to become an electronic pet in the big city?
This cold joke surfaced in Tao Yu’s mind, but he quickly tossed it aside.
He then took the lighter Jane found and wiped off the mud on it.
Looking at the lighter’s emblem, Tao Yu also felt a bit stunned.
This…
The Umbrella Company logo?
Is it a coincidence? An official merchandise series, or the real thing…
“If it’s really the Umbrella Company, then the benefits of this world are limited. It’s just a matter of seeing if those viruses could bring something useful to me.”
Tao Yu is currently lacking in Computation Power Skills; maybe the stuff from the Umbrella Company could form similar Skills.
But if it’s just a world from the biohazard series, then the ultimate gain might be small.
It’s merely about enhancing Skills and possibly finding the Heart of the World.
“Alas, seems I might have misjudged this world…”
Woof, woof, woof~
As Towan, the dog from Inuzuka, barked furiously, Airi Suzuki also pointed to the sea and said,
“There’s someone on the sea.”
But by the time the distracted Tao Yu looked over, other than a patch of white waves, there weren’t any signs of people. However, with Tao Yu’s Sight Power and Keen observation, he could discern that besides the waves, there were indeed some additional ripples.
“He’s gone under, only popped his head out briefly before. It should indeed be a person.”
Airi Suzuki is now just an ordinary person with excellent physical fitness, and although her eyesight is superior among regular people, at this distance, she can only make out so much; it’s not as detailed as Tao Yu’s observations.
“Did it shrink back underwater?”
Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.
Even though the sea surface looked very calm, it was quite dangerous even for those who could swim, let alone someone who emerged, observing the situation here without any visible life-saving equipment—it truly seemed a bit supernatural.
And they started observing just as our group arrived?
Tao Yu thought of the noise made when they entered this world.
“Perhaps, some creature in the sea detected the changes at the crack’s entrance…”
Tao Yu pondered for a moment. If that was the case, it would make sense for something in the sea to have started searching and observing the surrounding waters.
Almost as soon as Tao Yu considered this, the surface of the sea surged, and several tall figures with blue skin and strange masks, holding long spears, walked out from the sea.
They all looked over here with vigilant eyes, while Minato Namikaze and his companions also raised their firearms in defense.
Since the ninjas brought over were meant for intelligence gathering, Tao Yu wouldn’t let them engage the enemy.
Judging from the noise these fellows made coming out of the sea, their strength was considerably greater than that of an average human, and the weapons in their hands faintly gave off an aura of Yuan Force to Tao Yu.
One Yuan Force equipment per person, quite the luxury!
“Who are you? May I ask what brings you here?”
Tao Yu, relying on the translation through the Yuan Force, spoke up without fear of being misunderstood.
“This island has been uninhabited for twenty years, how did you come here? There’s no boat nearby; what do you intend to do?”
The tallest and most imposing among the blue-skinned people questioned with a cautious tone.
He seemed somewhat savage and fierce.
And the language he spoke was English— a race that lives in the sea that speaks English?
Tao Yu’s initial reaction was to wonder if the Umbrella Company had conducted some evil experiment that caused people in the sea to mutate.
But he quickly noticed something amiss. Here in the Abyss, it seemed normal for any reaction or change to occur, so one shouldn’t adhere to conventional thought, nor should they be prejudiced by the symbol of Umbrella!
With his thoughts branching out, Tao Yu then considered DC’s Aquaman, and also Marvel’s Sea King; the imagery of the underwater people in both seemed to indeed be quite similar.
Yet in either of these worlds, the contrast to the original Umbrella Company was far too great.
In the Multiverse, even dealing with the mildest versions could be troublesome.
At the height of their power, they were unable to handle some of the stronger ‘Immune Cells,’ so they could only blend in on Earth for now under limited normal conditions.
The good news is, there’s plenty of great stuff here.
The bad news, the bad guys who are eyeing these good things are very strong…
“If it’s the cinematic universe, then actually it might be worth exploring further.”
Tao Yu looked at the attire of these blue-skinned people, his heart likewise intrigued.
All blue-bodied, using spears? And all emitting an aura of Yuan Force—could it be Vibranium weapons?
Based on the information at hand, Tao Yu tentatively leaned towards the people of Atlantis from the Marvel cinematic world!
If there weren’t any other chaotic elements involved, that would actually be quite good news.
But thinking of that windproof lighter with the Umbrella logo, Tao Yu felt that things might not be as simple…
To test the waters, Tao Yu showed a standard Homelander’s smile, extending his hands and said,
“Wow, Atlanteans, we’ve unintentionally drifted here, with no ill intentions—just a bit lost. I wonder if you might be willing to offer some guidance…”
Upon hearing Tao Yu’s words, the Atlanteans became more vigilant, but they relaxed slightly upon seeing Tao Yu’s open and friendly gesture.
As for the others holding firearms, they were utterly unconcerned; such human weapons couldn’t harm them.
“You know of us…”
The blue-skinned Captain frowned.
Although the Atlanteans were not completely isolated from the world, and a very few people had seen traces of them, for the most part, they drove away those humans who intruded into their homeland, and in the past, they had even gone ashore to kill colonizers!
Towards humans, they didn’t exactly have a fondness, even though they too were once human, having become what they were now by drinking a special plant extract to avoid diseases brought by Spanish colonists…
