Chapter 522: Chapter 508: The Divine Protection Personified, Reinhard!

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Cu Chulainn looked at Tanya, who was making the ground shake just by releasing her magical energy, his face filled with disbelief:

"This little girl... seems a bit excessively strong, doesn’t she?"

"It’s not just excessive, it’s ridiculous..."

Rin Tohsaka’s slightly trembling lips voiced her inner shock, shouting at the screen with a hint of unwillingness:

"She’s only eight years old, for crying out loud! Are all reincarnators a bunch of cheaters?"

One is max level, one has Return by Death, and another was already an officer fighting wars at an age when others play with mud!

"Not all of them are cheaters..."

Illyasviel calmly retorted:

"Don’t forget Kazuma, that unpretentious unfortunate soul, a reincarnator who has nothing and wants for nothing—the Commoner Form!"

Among these reincarnators, he looks like the only one without a cheat. He hung around the starter village for who knows how long, defeated several Demon King executives, yet still hasn’t even reached level 20!

Sitting to the side, the oldest otaku, Gilgamesh, silently poured himself a glass of wine. Listening to their conversation, he felt like he was being outdone.

So, the lifelong competitive Gilgamesh couldn’t help but recall what he was doing when he was eight years old... and fell completely silent.

.....

[ After the test of courage, Mr. Roswaal announced another exciting piece of news: the Sports Festival is co—ming~

And the team that wins the championship will have a chance to return to their original world!

"We’re the only ones in this world, right? There aren’t any other classes..." Natsuki Subaru scratched his head in confusion after hearing the news. How can a single class hold a Sports Festival?

Mr. Roswaal then dropped an even more shocking bombshell: "Oh, there are. Isn’t there a classroom right next door?"

Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru hurriedly pushed open the door. He peered through the window of the adjacent classroom and found that the originally empty room had unknowingly become filled with people.

After seeing his own acquaintances inside, Natsuki Subaru was even more astonished: "Reinhard?!"

If this guy is here too, how are we supposed to win this Sports Festival?!

Besides him, there was also the Goddess’s smurf account thief Chris, the devil Vanir, Julius, Felt, and even Ainz’s combat maids, the Pleiades, and so on! ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Good lord, they’ve been attending school for days and didn’t realize there was another class next door. Now it’s going to get lively!"

How could it not be lively? Vanir, the devil who sees through people’s hearts, and Aqua are practically oil and water. They’re bound to fight the moment they meet, yet neither can really do anything to the other.

.....

〜So I’m a Spider, So What? World〜

Deep within the Great Elroe Labyrinth, Kumoko was leisurely holding a piece of monster meat, ready to put it in her mouth. But in that instant, she froze as if struck by lightning.

She didn’t even notice the meat falling from her mouth to the ground, looking at the screen with a face full of grief and indignation:

"They opened a whole extra class, SO WHY AM I STILL NOT THERE—!!"

The hope that had been ignited for less than a second was shattered again. Read the room! You weird red button device, I’m a reincarnator too; would it kill you to give me a chance?!

I’ve had enough of this life of drinking blood and eating raw flesh. I want to eat rice! I want to eat fragrant, delicious rice!

Kumoko waved her claws at the screen in overwhelming grief, venting her dissatisfaction to express her protest! She suspected that the red button was racially discriminatory, looking down on a weak, pitiful, and helpless little spider.

.....

[ Facing the many familiar faces before him, Ainz didn’t have too many worries. After all, he was very clear about his subordinates’ combat power.

Ainz didn’t worry too much: "According to Roswaal, if we win, we can go back to our original worlds!"

"Subaru, what do you think?!"

However, the expression of Natsuki Subaru, who was asked, became somewhat unnatural: "That guy I just saw... his name is Reinhard. That guy is probably the strongest in my world!"

"In my world, there are skills called Divine Protections. That guy is covered in Divine Protections!"

Ainz nodded thoughtfully. It seemed their weapons and skills were different from his world: "What kind of guy is he? Give me an example."

"Don’t get scared." Natsuki Subaru’s tone became a bit subtle.

"That guy... first attacks cannot hit him, subsequent attacks after the second cannot hit him, and even if he dies, he can resurrect!"

"Furthermore, he is immune to ranged attacks, but his attacks will definitely hit the opponent. Curses and debuffs are ineffective..."

"Wait, wait, wait..." Ainz hurriedly stopped Natsuki Subaru, who wanted to continue. He was beginning to question reality.

"First attacks and attacks after the second one can’t hit, and he resurrects if he dies? How are you supposed to fight that?" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"THAT’S A QUESTION WE’D LIKE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO AS WELL—!"

Listening to Natsuki Subaru’s explanation, everyone in the other worlds was dumbfounded. This was clearly cheating, damn it! This ability is too buggy! Who can play against that?!

Being immune to ranged attacks and forcing melee combat is one thing, but the key is that the first melee attack can’t hit either. That means sneak attacks are impossible.

And he’s unaffected by curses or other negative statuses, and can resurrect after death... The most ridiculous part is, you can’t hit him, but he will definitely hit you!

.....

〜Gabriel DropOut World〜

Listening to Natsuki Subaru’s description, which sounded like he wasn’t even finished, Gabriel’s listless face became quite expressive:

"This is way stronger than those reincarnators who bring cheats with them!"

With that pile of Divine Protections, it’s clear that even if he stood there and let you hit him, you might not even be able to scratch him!

This is clearly a GM(Game Master) inside a game. Unplayable, completely unplayable! It affects the game balance too much. How can you play if this isn’t nerfed?!

〜OVERLORD World〜

Ainz looked at the incredibly long introduction and fell into a rare silence:

"The water in this world runs too deep..."

No wonder Subaru-kun said he was invincible. To think such a powerful existence existed in another world! If you told me he was the hero saving the world, I’d believe it!

Sure enough, my caution from the beginning was correct! This guy is clearly a hacking player, and the kind you can’t kill at that.

According to the gaming food chain, no matter how powerful I am as a pay-to-win player, I CAN’T BEAT SOMEONE WHO HACKS THE GAME—!

.....

[ Reinhard... possesses over forty Divine Protections and is the only existence who can acquire Divine Protections post-birth.

Including the Divine Protection of Sword Saint, Arrow Evasion and Invincibility abilities, Divine Protection of Riding, Divine Protection of Cooking, Divine Protection of Weather, Divine Protection of Telepathy, Divine Protection of Weapon Mastery, Divine Protection of the Phoenix, and so on...

Take the Divine Protection of the Phoenix, for example: Can resurrect once. If used, he can acquire the Next Divine Protection of the Phoenix (in other words, infinite resurrection).

Besides these, there are some inexplicable Divine Protections... The Divine Protection of Sodium Knowledge so he won’t mistake sugar for salt, and the Divine Protection of Cooking King that allows him to make delicious cuisine no matter the method!

In short, as long as it is the Divine Protection Reinhard wants, he can obtain it at any time... ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"......"

Looking at the screen full of Divine Protection descriptions, the mouths of everyone in the other worlds had long since formed an ’O’ shape. Their faces were written with shock and dullness, their eyes empty and lost.

Is this even human? Is the World his dad? Or is he the World’s son? Isn’t this favoritism a bit too excessive?

.....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"THIS IS CLEARLY A DIVINE PROTECTION GAINING SENTIENCE—!"

Da Vinci, who had been busy, froze instantly. This cheat is a bit too big!

Over forty kinds of Divine Protections... I’ve seen broken characters, but never one this broken!

Dr. Roman picked up the coffee next to him and drank it to calm his nerves:

"We should feel fortunate that he is a good person..."

Fujimaru and Mash, beside him, nodded with blank expressions. They deeply agreed with Dr. Roman’s view.

Reinhard could probably walk sideways through any other world unhindered. If he were a villain who committed all sorts of crimes, who could stop him?!

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"Golden thigh... an absolute golden thigh!(’Thigh’ is slang for a carry/powerful ally)."

Kazuma’s eyes sparkled as if he had seen treasure.

Then, rubbing his hands together like a fly, he laughed somewhat wretchedly:

"I wonder how Subaru’s relationship is with this big shot. Would it be convenient to introduce us?"

For a golden thigh of this level, if it were him, he would do whatever it took to get on his good side!

After all, if he could abduct this big shot to his own world, why would they need to worry about subjugating the Demon King? They could just lie down and wait for victory!

And maybe, just maybe, if he told Reinhard they were going to defeat the Demon King, a Divine Protection of the Hero might suddenly appear on him!

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Rin Tohsaka’s eyes widened, and she said dryly:

"Leaving aside the others, just the Divine Protection of the Phoenix alone... saying he’s the Child of the World isn’t an exaggeration..."

Good grief, a Divine Protection that allows for infinite nesting dolls after death. You might as well just give him a Divine Protection of Immortality. Since you can’t beat him anyway, it’s even more impossible to talk about anyone being able to kill this bugged existence.

Shirou Emiya, on the other hand, was somewhat envious of those little tricks others might find useless, like...

"The Divine Protection to make delicious cuisine no matter the method, that’s so nice!"

It’s simply cheating. Think about how many meals he had to cook to reach his current culinary skills, yet that guy reaches this level with just a Divine Protection...

As the great hero of Ireland, Cu Chulainn couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth upon seeing such a ridiculous scene:

"The most ridiculous part is the one where he gets whatever Divine Protection he wants just by thinking about it..."

His martial arts, practiced bitterly for years, couldn’t even compare to one of that guy’s Divine Protections. He felt like his efforts had lost their meaning.

Thinking of this, Cu Chulainn’s tone became a bit sour:

"THIS MONSTER WHO IS JUST A DIVINE PROTECTION IN HUMAN FORM—!"

This Reinhard, it’s clear that God is feeding him! And it’s the kind where he’s being spoon-fed right into his mouth...
