That guy could literally stop the rotation of the Earth.
Thus, the 'A Certain Magical Index' world was also marked with a cross (❌) by Ryuji.
The last high-tier world, Rias's world, made Ryuji think for a moment before shaking his head.
"That won't work either. The timeline in Rias's world is also very tight. If I treat Rias's timeline as the main timeline and didn't get rid of Issei Hyoudou in advance, there's a high probability I'd get overtaken… and I might even end up relying on Issei's power to resolve the problems Rias's family is facing. Even though Rias's personality wouldn't make her betray me, but a man asking a lustful man for help regarding his wife..."
Ryuji thought for a moment, also marking it with a cross (❌).
"After second awakening."
Finally, his gaze fell on the King of Fighters world, Runeterra, the Hogwarts[1] world (which he didn't even know why it had appeared), Overwatch, One Piece, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and other worlds.
"The Overwatch world could be used to collect a wave of technology… especially nanotechnology and Mercy's healing tech, and I could also take care of D.Va while I'm there… The danger level in that world isn't very high. Even though nuclear weapons exist, they aren't much of a threat to me, and large-scale mechs aren't overly dangerous either. But the priority isn't very high. It won't significantly boost my personal combat power; it's more of a supplement for building my own forces. Still, advanced weapons could hurt me badly and killing me wouldn't be impossible. I'll probably only seriously consider exploring it when I go looking for 2B… but it's fine to visit occasionally to relax. Playing around in that world should be fine, after all, it's a futuristic world, so the entertainment should be better, and it could even help the girls from other worlds develop a bit."
Ryuji nodded, circling Overwatch and the NieR world together. As for the NieR world, he didn't consider it at all. The problem with that world was that absence of humans. Until he had enough strength and ability to resolve the issues of humanity, machine lifeforms and the future of androids in that world, he had no intention of going there.
That world couldn't be solved by brute force alone, and his current strength was still insufficient against endless mechanical armies.
In short, he was close to being able to completely resolve it, but not yet. Going there now carried a high risk of failure. If his strength increased a bit more and he equipped the appropriate gear, it wouldn't be much of a problem.
"After coming out of the King of Fighters world, I can make a trip to the Runeterra world."
Ryuji tapped the Runeterra world. Leaving aside the fact that the female champions of that world were all quite appetizing, just in terms of increasing power, that world offered plenty of opportunities, resources and secret techniques. And most people there wouldn't be a match for him.
Unless it was gods or someone like Mordekaiser an old, scheming bastard or unless he lost his mind and decided to do something stupid like charging into the Shadow Isles alone, there wouldn't be any real problem.
Although the upper limit of power there was very high, the lower and middle tiers power levels were also extremely abundant. Opportunities were plentiful, and there was no need to worry about the timeline advancing too quickly.
After all, League of Legends was essentially about conflicts between factions, unlike Arad or Azeroth where there were two or three world-ending crises every single year and they were literally apocalyptic threats. Most of the time, it was battles between champions and forces, something Ryuji felt he could handle.
"But speaking of World of Warcraft…"
Ryuji glanced at the benefits of the Warcraft world, thought about its storyline, and chose to give up.
Before mastering sufficient time-based abilities, he had no intention of going there. That place had timeline guardians similar to Marvel's Ancient One and they were far more stronger than her.
They were the Bronze Dragonflight, a group of guardian dragons.
In a one-on-one fight, Ryuji wasn't worried at all. But the problem was that they played with time and they were a group. They could gang up on him.
As for the Ancient One, as long as you didn't threaten Earth, didn't carry out senseless massacres on Earth, didn't open portals to invade and occupy Earth, or guide dimensional demons into the world. Basically, as long as you didn't do stupid suicidal things; she couldn't be bothered to care about you.
Were time travelers rare in the Marvel universe? The Ancient One would have to be bored out of her mind to come looking for trouble. If you even helped protect Earth, she might actually help you out instead.
She protected Earth, not the timeline.
And her name wasn't Stephen Strange.
But in the world of Azeroth, interfering with the timeline without sufficient strength?
Then you'd better be ready for the Bronze Dragonflight's group beatdown.
"So, even though the benefits are terrifyingly good, it's not something I can handle right now. At the very least, I'd need second awakening and it would have to be a space-time–type second awakening."
Ryuji naturally drew a big red (❌) over World of Warcraft as well.
"Avatar: The Last Airbender world…"
Looking at this world, Ryuji couldn't help but think of Toph's little feet, and that crazy woman Azula.
"There's not much danger in that world. The upper limit of power is about there. The destructive power is impressive, sure, but their bodies are far too fragile and there's no real creator god or anything like that. The only overpowered existence is the Avatar but he's an ally. So, it can be treated as an entertainment world."
Having never watched the anime, Ryuji nodded after making judgments based on the books he had read. He then added the Avatar world to the list of entertainment worlds, and also casually added Frozen, the world Elsa came from.
Although that world was more likely a fairy-tale world, Ryuji felt it wasn't a problem.
After all, while fairy tale world upper limits were absurd, the lower limits were too.
"Hmm, I can help Elsa become the empress who unifies her world…"
Ryuji couldn't help but think of this. Among Disney princesses, Elsa was already an anomaly because she was the only one who was an adult single and didn't need a man at all. Now that she had a man because of him, he might as well help her build an empire.
And while he was at it, he also wanted to see if that world had classic characters like Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, Rapunzel, Ariel... the Little Mermaid, Snow White and her stepmother, Cinderella, and so on.
Not for any other reason, just curiosity.
He, Ryuji, had great respect for fairy tales, okay?
"But why is Hogwarts(Harry Potter) on my list of worlds I can travel to?"
