- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 191
As Fang Bo leapt into the fray, Yao Yao, ever the emotional barometer, immediately grew restless.
“This is bad,” she murmured, her expression tinged with worry.
Ryuno, assuming Yao Yao was concerned for Jason, softly reassured her while secretly envying their close bond.
But it didn’t take long for Ryuno to realize she’d completely misread the situation.
“I’m not worried about Big Brother,” Yao Yao said, shaking her head before leaning in to whisper, “I’m worried about those two getting discouraged.”
“Huh?” Ryuno was dumbfounded, her mind struggling to process the girl’s words.
Is this the fabled generation gap?
Glancing toward the arena, Ryuno’s eyes widened in shock, her jaw dropping so far she could practically swallow a whole cucumber.
“Argh!”
Olsen let out a low growl, finally unleashing his Blood of the Serpent ability.
Blood of the Serpent (Legendary): Activate the power of the Serpent. Gain +6 to all attributes, enter a berserk state, duration 10 minutes, cooldown 3 hours.
Berserk: +20% Agility, drastically reduced pain sensitivity, and all attacks deal +5 true damage.
In this state, even basic movements produced afterimages, too fast for the naked eye to track.
For most reincarnators, encountering someone in this mode meant instant defeat. Even tank-class teammates struggled against the true damage inflicted by berserk attacks.
But just as Olsen prepared to strike, countless black iron spikes rained down from the sky, forming an irregular barrier around him.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!
Floating above, the Kazekage puppet aimed its iron spears directly at Olsen, silently warning him: any further movement, and the spikes would pierce him.
Faced with the swirling iron sand, Olsen paused before deactivating Blood of the Serpent.
The moment his bloodline ability activated, those black spikes had zeroed in on him. If they’d struck, he wouldn’t be standing here so casually.
It wasn’t fear that made him stand down—it was a recognition of his opponent’s strength. Since Fang Bo had intervened, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Olsen gazed at the floating puppet, its presence radiating power. He didn’t need confirmation to guess the equipment’s tier.
“This guy’s getting stronger and stronger,” he murmured, a faint smile briefly crossing his lips.
As the iron sand dissipated, Olsen’s expression returned to its usual stoic demeanor.
On the other side, the Yorichi Type Zero puppet charged at Dairon.
“Interesting,” Dairon said, her excitement rising. She’d been itching to test herself against Fang Bo’s creations.
During the Demon Slayer storyline, she had earned far more than expected, and as the orchestrator of the mission, Jason must have gained even more.
Despite not being in her best state, Dairon wasn’t about to pass up this opportunity.
As the puppet closed in, Dairon’s left eye gleamed, and she activated her unique Mangekyō Sharingan technique.
Ocular Technique: Tsukuyomi!
“Let’s settle this in an instant,” she thought.
But before she could strike, a golden chain suddenly wrapped around her, binding her completely.
[You are restrained by the Solar Lock. Strength and ability attribute checks failed.]
[You are immobilized for 10 seconds. Cannot move, use equipment, or activate items.]
The Kusanagi Sword, glowing with golden light, hovered menacingly before her.
With Dairon’s low constitution stats, a critical hit from the Kusanagi Sword could easily leave her on the brink of death. Paired with Fang Bo’s other Noble Phantasms, a full combo would almost certainly finish her off in one strike.
This was the potential of Fang Bo’s King’s Treasury in its current form. He felt an increasing urge to prioritize upgrading it to max level.
The difference between this current power and the earlier space battlefield was due to two key factors:
The transformation began with the addition of the Kusanagi Sword. Without a mythical-tier weapon, achieving instant kills was much harder.
Space battlefields were filled with reincarnators who had cleared 8–9 storylines and were gearing up for golden mainline quests. Compared to them, Fang Bo’s current companions were relatively inexperienced.
If Dairon had completed ten storyline worlds, binding her like this would have been nearly impossible.
“Impressive,” Dairon admitted, deactivating her Mangekyō Sharingan as she clutched her aching head and offered a wry smile.
She realized her emotional volatility was an issue. Ever since awakening Susanoo, her mood swings had become uncontrollable.
It was as if she were perpetually dealing with PMS. She knew it wasn’t sustainable, but controlling her emotions felt impossible.
Oddly, after sparring, her frustration had subsided, and she felt significantly more at ease.
With the tension defused, the two fighters properly introduced themselves, setting aside their earlier grievances.
They all shared a common enemy—the Orphanage—a threat that would require their united strength to overcome.
“See? I told you Big Brother would win!” Yao Yao chirped happily, her head bobbing as she enjoyed a chocolate popsicle.
“…I never expected him to become this strong,” Ryuno murmured, her feelings mixed.
Not so long ago, Jason was a rookie with barely any usable equipment. His combat options were limited to clunky titans and a flintlock pistol.
In contrast, Ryuno had been well-equipped with rare items and accompanied by an SR-grade shikigami, which gave her seemingly greater potential.
Yet, in just two storyline worlds, Jason had grown to a level she could hardly comprehend.
Even with her aunt Ubume evolving into an SSR-grade shikigami, the gulf between them was undeniable.
As Yao Yao continued eating, she suddenly grabbed Ryuno’s arm and whispered, “I know a place where we can earn tons of rewards. If we go there, we’ll definitely surpass Big Brother!”
Understanding the gesture as a kind attempt to cheer her up, Ryuno couldn’t help but ruffle the girl’s hair. Her gentle movements were like those of an older sister.
Meanwhile, Ari harbored no such complicated feelings. His heart brimmed with pure joy.
To him, Fang Bo was a comrade he could trust with his life. There was no envy—only happiness and a faint determination.
“I have to work harder. I can’t let you all leave me behind.”
Despite his progress, Ari still hadn’t mastered Domain Expansion. The skill’s energy requirements were enormous, far beyond even the extreme limits of his Spirit stat.
Unless he obtained a special ability to offset the cost, he wouldn’t be able to use it until advancing to second-tier worlds.
Back in their rooms, Olsen finally broke the silence.
“Once our current mission ends, the Orphanage will undoubtedly launch a relentless hunt.”
“Not just for you or me—no one will escape. Never underestimate their wealth or the loyalty of the reincarnators under their command.”
Sweeping his gaze across the group, Olsen’s tone turned grim. “Remember: luck won’t always be on your side.”
“Then… what should we do?” Yao Yao asked, raising her hand.
“We form a team.” Olsen’s words caused Ryuno’s eyes to sparkle with excitement.
“If we can’t avoid them, then we face them head-on and make them come to us.”
Chapter 191: The Team Plan
Olsen’s idea was straightforward: rather than being forced to defend themselves every time, it was better to bring the conflict into the open.
If the Orphanage dared to come, they would meet them head-on with full force.
“Why don’t we all…” Ryuno stood up excitedly, ready to invite everyone to join her team, Three-Headed Dog—or rather, Four-Headed Dog now, with Yao Yao’s addition.
But her enthusiasm was quickly doused when Olsen dropped a cold reality check.
“Are you sure your teammates are willing to take such a huge risk?”
That one sentence instantly sobered Ryuno.
He was right—not everyone would be willing to step into such a dangerous conflict.
The Nest of Sound was a massive reincarnator organization spanning two worlds.
Its roster was filled with powerful members, and its resources were staggering—enough to send waves of hunters after their enemies.
Missions were already fraught with peril. Who could guarantee their teammates wouldn’t stab them in the back under such pressure?
In truth, without her personal connection to Fang Bo, Ryuno herself wouldn’t have wanted to get involved in this mess.
Seeing Ryuno fall silent, Olsen continued.
“Prepare for both outcomes. Go back and ask your teammates. If they’re unwilling, don’t push them. We can form a new team ourselves.”
With the skilled fighters present, completing the team formation quest wouldn’t be difficult.
Of course, that only covered the formation process. If they wanted to challenge high-level teams, the mission difficulty would increase significantly.
“Once the team is established, we can all join. When entering storyline worlds, we can select our companions freely.”
With everyone’s current strength, pairing up in duos would neutralize most threats.
Having trustworthy allies was far better than working with a group of potential backstabbers.
No one, not even Fang Bo, objected to Olsen’s suggestion.
The journey to the King of Fighters world had the potential to destroy the Orphanage’s years-long plans. Anyone would go mad over such a setback.
It was certain that once they succeeded, the Orphanage would launch relentless waves of retaliation.
Enemies like Ragu the Power King would become a frequent occurrence.
Fang Bo himself could handle it, but his companions might not fare as well.
No matter their potential, most of them had only completed five or six storyline worlds on average—a far cry from the top-tier reincarnators.
Team-based missions would be a practical way to weather the storm.
Thinking about it, Fang Bo realized that this entire situation was a consequence of his actions. He hadn’t expected things to spiral out of control like this.
“Whatever. One step at a time.”
While the others could form teams, Fang Bo had no problem tackling missions solo.
In fact, this could draw more enemies to him, giving his companions some breathing room.
If he encountered suitable worlds, he could even sell information on easily triggered hidden quests to his teammates. It was his way of offering indirect compensation.
With the team formation plan finalized, the others gradually left, except for Olsen, who stayed behind.
Once the room was empty, Olsen broke the silence.
“I trust those two,” he said coldly, referring to Dairon and Ari.
The three of them had destroyed an Orphanage facility in the real world, freeing numerous experimental subjects. Their conflict with the Orphanage was irreconcilable.
Olsen felt secure working with them. But the two younger women—Yao Yao and Ryuno—were a different matter.
“Yao Yao should be fine,” Fang Bo said, considering her resourceful and mysterious sister. He doubted the girl could be easily swayed by the enemy.
But Ryuno and her two teammates were less certain.
Often, the allure of profit was more persuasive than the fear of threats, and betrayal from within was always the hardest to guard against.
“If they refuse to join, fine,” Olsen warned. “But if they suddenly want to sign on, you’d better be cautious.”
Fang Bo noted his matter-of-fact tone and asked, “How’s your side? Still babysitting that so-called ‘Chosen One’?”
“…Don’t underestimate him,” Olsen replied, shaking his head as he stood to leave.
“For now, leave the Orphanage to me. Wait for my instructions.”
Watching his childhood companion walk away, Fang Bo stretched lazily and decided it was time to focus on strengthening his skills.
