Making a deal

After devouring the leader of the white fang, Adam teleported away with his newly acquired semblance

[Memorial teleportation: Allows the user to teleport to any place from their memories.

The clearer the details of the memory, the lesser the consumption. And energy costs also increase with distance/barriers(artificial or natural)]

This semblance basically allows him to teleport anywhere he's been to before, it is very overpowered

Then again, the fact that he can't teleport back to the Honkai world with this semblance balances things out... Unless he had infinite energy, which could also potentially allow him to teleport back to his orginal world in his first life

As for that earth wall he raised?

It was something from Rimuru, he obtained all her knowledge and skills regarding magic when their [Great Sage]s connected together

But the more important fact is....

[Advocate of gender equality: Damn! That was so fucking cool! And you didn't even use famous anime lines!]

Adam cringed as he saw Kazuma's message

Yes, he had indeed opened a Livestream. That way, the members who couldn't travel to the RWBY world would at least catch a glimpse of what they would have experienced

"I'm kind of regretting it now...." He muttered outloud with a regretful expression on his face

Because indeed, although he didn't use anime lines or posed, he did imitate Sirin a bit there

Say what you will about the Herscher of the Void, but no one can deny that she was very cool during the 'The Queen's Advent' chapter in the game

She can't use her powers competently and is very prideful... But she is still very cool, okay?

[Shiraori: Don't worry, Adam~ That actually looked like it came straight out of an anime. And you even taught that guy his place, good job!]

"Thank you, Shiro-chan!" Adam thanked the spider, giving a bright smile and sending a thumbs up towards the ethereal camera besides him

[Monika: ....]

His bright smile stiffened

[Monika: Adam, don't you feel anything after killing that 'Faunus'?]

With uncharacteristic seriousness oozing from her message, Monika asked him something he didn't expect

It was indeed the first time he killed someone. But the members don't know what exactly happened, they only assume that he is dead

He let his body get controlled by [Great Sage] while he was in his [Stomach] and torturing Adam Taurus. Normally, that wouldn't be possible, but Jean's Psionic abilities did make it possible

"Well... He deserved it, so I don't feel anything" He voiced out to the camera with a shrug

It's true, he didn't really feel anything. He neither puked nor did he have a mental breakdown like in some fan fictions he read in his previous life.

But... Since he became a mix of Herscher, High human, devil and a little bit of draconic abomination, his morals have become skewed. As the body naturally affects the mind and the soul, this also happens vice versa

Sure, his face did pale. But it was quite logical reaction as this was the first time he took a life with his own hands, but he had indeed become more averse to killing

He devoured his body and consciousness... But he didn't kill him with traditional methods, and no blood was spilled, so maybe that was also the reason he doesn't feel much remorse currently

[Phoenix: ....]

Jean Grey seemed.... Conflicted. Although Adam could understand her thoughts considering Xavier's teachings and generally the X-men's morals

[Phoenix: Did you really have to kill him...?]

"No... I didn't have to, because this isn't my world" Adam said "But he is not a good man, and he could also be considered a villain. Honestly he is better off dead, this world would be a better place without the Leader of the White Fang"

He looked straight into the camera, his eyes unyielding with his own morals

Although what he said was true, it was also an excuse. Truthfully, he did kind of feel bad as Adam Taurus didn't to anything to him personally, but killing the Faunus benefitted him a lot, so he wasn't hesitant, and he would even end his life again if given the chance

[Phoenix: I see... Although I don't like this, I'm in no position to judge your actions]

Fortunately, the Marvel world isn't as strict as the DC world in that regard. So although Jean Grey might be put off by his actions, she didn't admonish him

[Advocate of gender equality: Can't really say I'm a partner of justice like a certain protagonist... But I wouldn't hesitate to kill someone as a last resort]

Kazuma, being isekaid to a fantasy world, is obviously not naive. So he knows that killing someone is inevitable, even though it would be his last option

"Thank you, being morally flexible is a good quality to have" He commented off sidedly

Looking at another direction, he muttered "... Now, we have a 'dragon' to take care of"

His eyes glowed golden, seemingly piercing through all veils and distance and looking at the presence of the beast he sensed becoming lively

[Shiraori: Ohhh, are you going to fight that dragon! Wait, let me get my monster snacks! I don't want to miss this~!]

"Right, before that. I have to see a certain dense blonde boy"

...

Jaune Arc leaned against a wall, his face full of despair, his mind getting overwhelmed by countless thoughs and emotions

"I should have realised she liked me sooner..."

"I shouldn't have let her fight that powerful woman..."

He muttered in an aggrieved tone, and cursed himself for being so naive. He knows Pyrrha can't win that woman, she is too powerful

And he knows that Pyrrha will die... Because of his foolishness

"What are you doing Jaune... Wallowing in despair and regretting what has already been done...." A cold voice interrupted his thoughts

As he turned around in surprise, his mind went cold

It was a boy around his age (Who was definitely more handsome than him). But that wasn't what surprised him...

"You are so pathetic... You know that, right?"

Looking at the unconcerned and cold face of the silver haired boy in front of him, looking as what was happening around him was none of his business....

What truly surprised Jaune at this moment was the bat-like wings behind the boy's back.... Along with the aura he was exuding

His aura was downright suffocating.... Even more so than that woman Pyrrha went to fight

When the blond boy registered his words, and silver haired boy was already in front of him, his bright blue eyes looking at his own blue eyes as if he was looking at a pathetic man

"Tell me Jaune... Do you want Pyrrha to be saved?" The Faunus (Maybe? Do this bat like wings make him a Faunus?) with narrowed eyes

The blond boy nodded, absentminded and little hopeful

"As expected... But are you ready to pay the corresponding price?" The (Definitely) powerful boy asked him with a grin tone

Jaune took a deep breath "I don't know who you are.... But if you can save Pyrrha, you can even take my soul"

The blond boy looked at him with determination shining in his eyes, truly willing to give up his soul to save the girl who unlocked his Aura and trained him into a (Somewhat) proper warrior

"Why?" The glowing blue eyes of the powerul monster in front him were looking at him with doubt, obviously confused at his words

"Pyrrha, she-!" His voice cracked "She loves me, and I didn't realize it until it was too late. She made me into who I am today, if it wasn't for her... I would still be that incompetent, naive and foolish teenager"

He was genuine, he wanted to say more. But he felt like the boy in front of him wouldn't be patient with him

"You are willing to sell your soul... For love..." The boy's blue eyes flashed with an unknown and complex emotion for a brief moment, before going back to normal

"Very well" The uncaring teenager lifted up one of his hands "Give me your soul and your great-great-grandfather's sword.... And I shall save your beloved"

Jaune didn't hesitate and instantly dropped his great-great-grandfather's sword, a prized possession of the Arc family, Crocea Murs into the awaiting hands of the silver haired teenager

He didn't question how the opposite party knew about his sword, neither did he ask if he would truly be able to fight that powerful woman... He just spead his hands wide and accepted his fate

... Pyrrha has done too much for him, and has saved him countless times. For her, he can take a leap of faith and choose to trust that this ominous looking teenager will keep his word

"Before you take my soul, what is your name...?" Jaune asked the one who will take his life as a price

The blond boy didn't have any doubts about him, but he just wanted to know the name of the one who was going to harvest his soul

"...." The expression of the silver- haired teenager turned thoughtful

"You can call me Ancestor" He said as the bat like wings behind his back vanished

After that, the glowing blue eyes of the silver haired boy transformed, his pupils disappearing entirely as an octogram appeared in its place

In fact, the suffocating Aura that he was exuding vanished, replaced by a warm Aura that was as gentle as the caress of the the sun. It felt like being in a father's embrace- that was the warmth  only someone's father could cause one to feel

Jaune blinked, and the silver haired boy's eyes and aura going back to their previous states, as if what he witnessed and felt previously was all an illusion

"Prepare yourself"

He only got a verbal warning before the now blue eyed boy's palm descented on his shoulder

And then.... Jaune screamed in pain as he felt his Aura being forcefully absorbed by 'Ancestor' in front of him
