King of Worlds'

The moment the King's Strength was successfully activated, Qin Yi seemed to witness a three-dimensional scene unfolding before his eyes, flowing rapidly like a river. 

Between his eyebrows, the purple six-pointed star briefly flickered, forming a violet channel that connected to the vivid projection. 

In an instant, Qin Yi saw it. 

He saw every step of this Shinobi's Training process, the flow of ''Chakra'' within his body, and, astonishingly, he even saw the Shinobi's ''soul'' itself! 

"Chakra Training Methods, their language system, and even some Ninjutsu..." 

Scenes and bright lights flickered in Qin Yi's mind as he quickly comprehended all the information. 

He had extracted the very soul of this ''Konoha Shinobi'' through ''Plunder'', gaining insight into all the training knowledge contained within. 

For over a minute, Qin Yi endured the overwhelming influx of information. Finally, his head throbbed with unbearable pain, as if it was about to explode. With a loud scream, he forcefully interrupted the process. 

"Your Majesty!" 

Gandalf rushed over and supported Qin Yi. 

"Plunder cannot be used recklessly— it places immense strain on your mental strength. In severe cases, it can even damage your soul," Gandalf warned gravely, as if he was fully aware of what Qin Yi had just done. 

"In this Otherworld, Gandalf, the only way to survive quickly is through this method," Qin Yi gritted his teeth, his expression twisted with pain. 

Gandalf remained silent. He helped Qin Yi away from the scene and found a safer place for them to rest. 

---

Two hours later, the first rays of dawn illuminated the dense forest. 

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?" Gandalf asked anxiously as he noticed Qin Yi opening his eyes. 

Although Gandalf did not fully understand the mechanics of Plunder, he had seen Qin Yi's father use it before. The toll on one's mental and spiritual strength was immense, and each use left one's soul wracked with pain. 

"Much better now. I can feel... my body - no, my mind - has gained something new," Qin Yi said with a trace of excitement in his voice. 

After they left the scene the night before, Qin Yi's headache had forced them to rest in hiding. Now, the pain had diminished considerably. 

"Chakra and its training methods, the basics of the Japanese language, simple B-Rank and A-Rank Ninjutsu, and even the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)..." 

As he carefully explored his gains, Qin Yi began to understand the abilities he had plundered. 

The King's Strength, unlike the system-based powers often described in Earth novels, felt far more ethereal and profound. It could not be quantified with simple data. To Qin Yi, it was more like the divine abilities wielded by god-like beings in those stories. 

Soon, Qin Yi discovered a faint light blue hue within the six-pointed star between his eyebrows. 

"This is Chakra!" 

The ''Plunder'' ability had not only taken the Shinobi's knowledge, but had also absorbed a portion of his ''Chakra'', which now resided quietly within Qin Yi's body, awaiting his guidance. 

As he initiated the ''Chakra Training Method'', the energy within him began to flow rapidly. 

With each cycle of circulation, Qin Yi could feel the chakra in his body steadily increasing. 

Overwhelmed with joy and amazement, Qin Yi nearly jumped up. 

"Gandalf, I can train now!" 

He shouted to Gandalf, barely able to contain his excitement. 

"Calm down, Your Majesty. Every King begins no differently than a commoner and can train in any power structure with natural ease. However, the power a King trains becomes part of the 'King's Strength'!" Gandalf replied with a smile. 

Qin Yi froze for a moment but soon understood. 

When he circulated the Chakra in his body, it appeared as a faint blue color. However, the moment he willed it, the energy quickly gathered at the six-pointed star on his forehead and turned into ''King's Strength'' - a distinct purple hue. 

Its texture was slightly thinner, and its hue was lighter than the power that was born directly from the nation's fortune. 

"This is truly an omnipotent power!"

Feeling a surge of excitement, Qin Yi understood the immense importance of this newfound power. With the many worlds he would traverse in the future and the vast array of energies he would encounter, the ''King's Strength'' would provide unparalleled convenience. 

Soon after, he noticed that the amount of chakra in his body was around the ''Genin'' level. 

"It seems I lost quite a bit during the plundering process," He muttered. 

However, this didn't bother Qin Yi too much. 

As he calmed his emotions, his attitude began to change. No matter what, he now had the power to survive in this dangerous world. 

Unlike his predecessor, who failed to achieve anything and was quickly eliminated, Qin Yi was determined not to repeat such a disgraceful fate. 

"Now, I must find my sister as soon as possible," He muttered as he took a deep breath. 

The image of his resolute, unapproachable younger sister - strong beyond measure and seldom smiling - appeared vividly in his mind. 

Although she was younger than Qin Yi, her skills were far superior to his own. Before he left, she had been the only one in the kingdom to oppose the decision to deploy the entire army. 

However, his foolish predecessor had stubbornly insisted on it, causing the kingdom's soldiers to fall on hard times. Now, Qin Yi didn't even know how many of them were still alive. 

Caught in the fierce battle between Konoha and the Sand Shinobi, the Kingdom's soldiers, who relied solely on cold weapons, had been sent to an almost certain death. 

"Gandalf, we must locate the main forces of the kingdom. We must find my sister immediately," Qin Yi said to the old wizard. 

He was confident that Gandalf would know a way; that was why he had brought him along. 

"Indeed, reuniting with the main forces is our top priority," Gandalf agreed. 

Without further ado, Gandalf summoned a ''Great Eagle''. 

The two mounted the mighty creature and with a resounding screech the eagle soared swiftly into the sky. 

"The people of this world have extraordinary powers," Gandalf said gravely, sitting at the eagle's neck. "They can control fire, lightning, wind and even sand to unleash devastating attacks. It is truly awe-inspiring." 

"Your Majesty, establishing a kingdom here and following the King's Way will be quite difficult," He added. 

Qin Yi nodded. He was fully aware of the dangers this world held. 

In truth, Gandalf's understanding was only superficial. Figures like ''Uchiha Madara'' and the ''Ōtsutsuki Clan'' possessed powers that bordered on the godlike. 

Qin Yi couldn't help but marvel at his predecessor's luck. For the very first time, he had accidentally landed in such an extreme and dangerous world. 

"Right now, we're flying at an altitude of one thousand meters. It should be a relatively safe position," Gandalf explained. "From here we can observe everything below. We'll find the princess and her party in no time." 

"Hurry, Gandalf. We're running out of time," Qin Yi urged. 

"Screech!" 

The giant eagle let out a piercing scream, flapping its wings with renewed strength. It soared through the vast sky above the seemingly endless forest. 

Looking down, Qin Yi and Gandalf could see countless figures moving below. Waves of natural energy erupted from time to time, sending shivers down their spines. 

Now that they were immersed in this world, the reality of the shinobi's power was far more intense than what Qin Yi had seen in the anime. 

The pressure was particularly suffocating as Qin Yi and Gandalf found themselves flying over territory between two warring Shinobi nations— both of which would consider them enemies. 

For the warriors of the kingdom, facing such weapons of war, life and death were balanced on the thinnest of threads.
