Hiro flew through the air, looking down at the woods. It seemed the Oracion Seis kidnapped Wendy secretly rather than fighting directly after seeing Sorano's state. He pursed his lips in thought, it seems he was wrong about the enemies.
He thought they were going to confront the group as usual, Sorano must've told them about himself. He frowned, they just believed her? Usually the bad guys were too arrogant and jumped out at any chance to fight the heroes.
He had never seen a smart Bad guy.
Though to be fair, if the bad guys were smart they would always win. It's always something like over confidence that does them in, in the end. Seems like Brain is taking things slow. Though he did kidnap Wendy and was somehow successful, maybe he used that Midnight guy to cast an Illusion?
Hiro frowned deeper, if that's the case then the Oracion Seis wasn't holding back. It's fine though, he believed Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, and Happy could handle it, he was only here to supervise and see how far they've come.
Though he wanted to see Lucy the most. He was excited for her new power. As her teacher, he was pretty proud of what she showed against him, he wanted to see her kick some ass instead of getting into rapey situations all the time.
Now was the big question.
Would the enemies suddenly get stronger magically to match them? Hiro really wanted to know because Simon still died, he felt like he was touching on something he shouldn't touch. Like World Laws or Rules or something like that.
That's what it was in the Cultivation Novels.
Maybe it was the same for Anime Worlds?
He wasn't sure but he wasn't going to put it past the world. He's been slightly changing Canon since he came here. Most of the enemies died instead of been forgotten about, he only left the ones that were relevant to the plot later or played big roles.
After all, if he changes canon crazily, his future knowledge would be worth absolutely nothing. Maybe Zeref would just kill everyone. That would be something to see actually.
Anyway.
Most of the villains died in his hands, not escaping at all. That was a part of the reason he let Laxus go, as much as he loathes him for attacking Isabella, he respects Makarov and wouldn't kill Laxus even if he wasn't relevant later.
It just so happens that Laxus is important later, it was another reason to let him live. Hiro's gaze sharpened, but if there was a next time. If there's even a scratch on his family, he will kill Laxus even if he has to go through Makarov. He let him go once, there won't be a second time.
Speaking of people important to the plot, Erik was one of them. Sorano was just a cunt, he didn't see the need to kill her, the blocky guy, Richard, is a good guy and the rest well... They can die.
Hiro wanted the speed guy, the illusion guy, and Brain/Zero. He rubbed his chin and decided to have Sun eat the Magic staff, he could collect it's shadow and get a new form at the same time. Their shadows were precious, he could merge the speed guy with Rex and make that damn ugly thing human looking, the illusion guy was useful and Brain could be deconstructed and absorbed by his Elites.
Speaking of his shadows, they are much faster, stronger, and more deadly. All their magic has advanced, their movements are much finer and smoother, and their combat, sword, magic skills were much more refined.
Blossom was trained by a clone of Hiro with a katana as well and she was a stellar swordswoman by herself. She was his favorite. By far.
Also! Hiro made all his shadow soldiers insert their mana into the Grimoire, adding dozens of pages to it. He got the idea seeing that they still use the same magic from when they were alive so it should work. As for how they use magic?
Hiro had absolutely no idea, he suspected they used his own, but either he was wrong or they just didn't use enough, because he didn't lose any while they were training. He suspected they had an internal buffer of mana or something that refilled when they respawned.
Respawning them did cost mana, but it was a very small amount, he could ignore it. His clones were the ones that cost him the most mana, fighting the Celestial Spirits for an entire year was quite taxing, but it expanded his mana reserves yet again!
He was extremely happy with his progress and wondered if he should do it again soon. That was actually his first time using the Time Room. It was a blatant rip-off from Dragon Ball but it didn't matter because it worked!
He also had a Gravity room.
He kinda wanted to go to Dragon Ball and get the blue prints from Bulma but then again, he wasn't in control of where he went next. Also, he was pretty sure, he would get slapped to death if he went to space in the Dragon Ball World.
Not only that, wouldn't Zeno catch him suddenly appearing in one of the Universes?
He actually wasn't too sure about how strong his System was. If there was a chance Zeno could catch him, he would rather not go to Dragon Ball at all... Zeno does what he wants and has the mind of a child, maybe he'll just erase his existence for fun!
But if Zeno can't catch him... Then that would be fun! Maybe he could even participate in the Tournament of Power! Not only that but the technology from Bulma... It was very enticing.
Later.
For now,
He sent his shadow army into the woods and told them to kill everyone that wasn't an ally or the Oracion Seis, showing them their pictures from his memory. He kept Blossom, who pouted at him, and sent the rest out.
His army had thinned out to around 100 soldiers that were much, much, stronger than the previous ones. They even made squads and moved in groups. He looked down with a smile as his army moved out, blending with the shadows and starting their hunt.
He also told them to avoid the allies so that they wouldn't know he was there.
This was a secret operation. If the group knew he was here, they would rely on him to do everything. Which wasn't good. Although Lucy was strong, she was too lazy. That was the one complaint he had of his little student. She was omega lazy.
Even lazier than him.
And that was near impossible.
Well, the him from before he died in a bullshit computer explosion.
He was still angry at that. What kind of fucking computer can blow someone's head right off?! It was a laptop for fuck sakes! His family better have gotten financial compensation! If he ever went back, he would most definitely demand millions!
Though, it would be irrelevant because he would be 'dead' and not able to sue as a ghost.
That would defeat the purpose.
He was supposed to be dead, if he was alive they wouldn't get any money.
Needless to say, he wasn't going to buy any more computers from that brand anymore! Hmph!
He continued to fly around, ignoring Blossom, who was pulling his sleeve, wanting to go kill people too. He finally realized her presence and said "You want to leave?" she nodded and Hiro sighed "Go. Remember what I said." Blossom jumped up and down before floating away happily.
He sighed, another addition to the top 10 anime betrayals list in his mind...
A while later
He came to an unconscious Racer, the speed guy. He formed the master sword and made the sound effect as he severed the man's head from his body and took his shadow. He called out Rex and merged the two together.
It was the perfect merge.
Now Rex looked like a normal human, but his speed with almost twice as fast! That was saying something. Not only that but the speed guy's problem was his attacks were fast but weak, now that was fixed. His hands were covered in claw-like armor, forming weapons on their own. He was happy at this development and sent Rex out.
Rex disappeared before Hiro could even blink, bringing a satisfied smile to Hiro's lips. His shadow army was going to be stronger that Sung Jin Woo's though that guy was pretty busted. Hiro punched his palm in realization, maybe he should go to Solo Leveling and take the S-rank guy's shadows?
He could also swipe Sung Jin Woo's shadows and take the other monarchs'!
This needed further thought. He only read up until the latest chapter in the manwha, but he read the entire Light novel, even though it was awfully translated. He knew the basic plot line and there was so many potential shadows to add to his army.
He got a bit excited at the thought.
Suddenly, he got a message and disappeared.
