HSR- Multiversal Projection Chapter 58
🕑 Added 2025-07-30 03:00:04 +0000 UTCChapter 58: Do you think your sword... can break through Gepard's defense?
「 As the Silvermane Guards Captain, Gepard's fighting style is quite simple and brutal.”
Simply put, it's just madly stacking shields on himself.
He used the momentum of being able to flatten a group of Fragmentum monsters with one punch... to put a shield on his allies. But the shield amount was quite considerable. Even with Stelle, Seele, and the others surrounding him and giving him a good beating, Gepard didn't get hurt much.
Stelle even felt that compared to Gepard's shield amount, the Doomsday Beast was like a fragile paper. 」
「 。。。。。」
~One Punch Man World~
“To be able to withstand such frequent attacks, I presume the muscles under his armor are gleaming,”
Superalloy Darkshine said, known for his “defense” in the Hero Association, as he put down the one-ton dumbbell in his hand. He looked up at Gepard's fight and exclaimed.
After the guards beside him fell, only Gepard remained standing on the field. After all, two fists are no match for ten hands. Under the fierce attacks of the five people, Gepard gradually showed signs of decline, his strength insufficient.
“Gepard... if he could train with me, he would definitely be able to build muscles like mine in less than three months. By then, he would definitely be able to withstand Seele and the others' attacks,”
Superalloy Blackluster sighed.
Although he said that, Superalloy Darkshine still didn't dare to underestimate Seele and the others. After all, even KING, who is known as the “Strongest Human,” spoke highly of one of the young girls among them...
“Superalloy Darkshine, have you considered crafting a suit of armor similar to Gepard's?”
A staff member from the Hero Association responsible for arranging Blackluster's training said,
“Child Emperor observed Gepard's fight earlier and is quite interested in that defensive device of his that resembles a violin case.”
“If you are willing, Child Emperor can also help you craft a suit of armor and a defensive device like the violin case, making you even more adept at dealing with monsters.”
“Hmm, thank you for your kind offer, but I don't need it.”
Superalloy Darkshine glanced at the silver armor on Gepard's body and shook his head, saying,
“Wrapped in something like that, my muscles would cry.”
“'The body honed to its peak is the best armor' - please help me convey this message to the Child Emperor. Thank you for his good intentions.”
The more than two-meter-tall Superalloy Darkshine slowly stood up. His muscles bulged all over, like a dark, heavy fortress. Under the illumination of the room lights, his bald head reflected a shiny gleam.
After admiring his “perfect” muscles in the mirror, he showed a slightly puzzled expression.
“Hmm... are there really monsters that can hurt me?”

「 This battle was exceptionally arduous. Gepard truly deserves to be a walker on the Path of Preservation. After a long stalemate, both sides were exhausted and finally calmed down.
At this point, everyone remembered Bronya's letter and quickly took it out.
After reading the letter, Gepard's eyes widened suddenly, almost unable to believe what he saw.
Serval also stopped arguing with him at this time and calmly advised,
“Everything that needs to be said has been said, little brother. You decide what to do.”
Gepard said without hesitation, “I am the Captain of the Silvermane Guards. It is my duty to carry out the orders of the 【 Supreme Guardian 】 .”
Stelle glanced at the baseball bat in her hand and then looked at Gepard,
“Maybe you should think about it again...?”
“...”
Gepard was silent for a moment before speaking,
“But Miss Bronya is the de facto commander of the front line. According to military regulations, when the orders of the front-line commander conflict with those of the Architects in the rear, one should wait for further instructions.” 」
「 。。。。。」
~Baki World~
“Good kid, he's really mastered the rules,”
Tokugawa said with a regrettable pout,
“Boring, I want to see rivers of blood!”
Tokugawa's complaint also echoed the thoughts of Musashi and Yujiro.
Powerful individuals like Gepard are rare in Belobog, especially his exquisite defensive techniques, which once left Musashi dumbfounded.
This was not relying on the assistance of an Aeon, but purely on the relentless tempering of the body and technique. Without countless life-and-death trials and crossing countless thresholds of death, one simply cannot cultivate such skill.
On the other hand, Seele, Dan Heng, and Stelle's cooperation was also quite outstanding. Especially Seele...
Miyamoto Musashi considered himself to have experienced countless battles in his lifetime and seen various fighting styles and weapons, but this scythe-shaped one... was the first time he had seen it.
Moreover, Seele's skills were also quite remarkable. To have cultivated such speed at just over ten years old... truly left him in awe.
However, at the critical moment of a dragon-tiger struggle, both sides suddenly stopped fighting, which left Miyamoto Musashi feeling quite unsatisfied.
Suddenly, a low male voice came from outside the gate of the Tokugawa residence, interrupting the wandering thoughts of the few people.
“Old man.”
Outside the gate stood a burly man nearly two meters tall. He wore a neat white suit and expensive snakeskin shoes. If judged solely by his attire, he looked just like a company executive who frequented office buildings.
But when he raised his head, his face, covered in knife scars... seemed to be a Shura from hell.
The man was Kaoru Hanayama, the second-generation head of the Japanese yakuza organization, the Hanayama Group.
Completely inconsistent with his massive physique of 166kg and fierce appearance was the fact that the incredibly imposing Kaoru Hanayama had just celebrated his eighteenth birthday the week before last.
After the screen appeared, Tokugawa summoned strong individuals such as Baki, Kaoru Hanayama, Doppo Orochi, and Retsu Kaioh to his residence to watch together. Besides Musashi and Yujiro, the first one to arrive was Kaoru Hanayama.
“Hmm, this samurai...”
As soon as he stepped into the residence, Kaoru Hanayama saw Miyamoto Musashi sitting opposite Yujiro on the high platform.
For some reason, the moment he saw Musashi, Kaoru Hanayama had a strange feeling in his heart.
He was clearly sitting opposite Yujiro, with an expensive tea table in front of him and the high-end garden scenery of the Tokugawa family behind him.
But when he focused his gaze on Musashi, Kaoru Hanayama only felt that there was a pitch-black expanse behind him.
The darkness was infinitely high, infinitely deep, boundless, and infinitely extending... Kaoru Hanayama only felt that the darkness seemed to be intentionally trying to swallow him, reaching out towards him.
“Musashi, this is Kaoru Hanayama.”
Seeing Hanayama arrive, Tokugawa was very happy and enthusiastically began to introduce him:
“Speaking of Hanayama, you have to mention what's behind him - oh, right, have you heard of 'Chivalry'? In the second year of Genna...”
“No need to waste your breath, old man.”
Kaoru Hanayama interrupted Tokugawa directly, stepped into the darkness in front of him, and strode straight to Miyamoto Musashi's side.
He took off his glasses, put his hands in his pockets, and looked down at his comma-shaped eyes... and the two swords, one long and one short, at his waist.
Miyamoto Musashi, unparalleled in the world. Legend has it that he killed countless people in his lifetime, relying on his unique divine skill - Niten Ichi-ryu.
And facing the real person...
“Miyamoto Musashi.”
Kaoru Hanayama looked up at the people on the screen and slowly said,
“Do you think your sword... can break through Gepard's defense?”
