YM778.TV Chapter 140 [Cheat Codes]
Everyone in the stadium, aside from Marie, Charlotte, and Riley, fell silent.
Eliza was on the verge of a panic attack.
After a few seconds of silence, Helix moved his hands in front of Kurt\'s face and snapped his fingers.
The power-weeb, alongside the other Knights, snapped out of their haze.
"A rare Rashok card is on the line.
I will not touch you as long as you don\'t aim for my throat or face.
I just want you to use your full power to cut at my peacoat here." Helix explained while pointing to his arm.
Poor Kurt was shaking in confusion.
Riley reached out and touched the conflicted weeb on the shoulder.
He looked at her gentle smile as if she was a true goddess.
"Kurt. I promise everything will be okay.
No one would ask someone to cut them in half after knowing their level without reason." Riley explained with a sweet smile.
"So use every ounce of your strength to cut at his arm.
We women will protect you with our lives.
So help us by complying, and we\'ll make sure you get an awesome card."
The young man\'s heart melted in an instant.
He nodded his head and looked at Helix with hesitation.
Helix was standing with his hands in his peacoat pockets, wearing a slight smile.
His level was so high compared to everyone else that his—comically low by comparison—defense stat made him untouchable.
Still, he wouldn\'t let a person slash at his real body.
Kurt pulled out his word nervously.
"A-Alright! Please remember that you asked for this, s-sir!" He yelled.
Eliza grimaced and wanted to close her eyes.
But the confident face Helix was wearing told her to wait.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kurt yelled while swinging his sword with all his might.
Poof.
"Ah aaaah ah…."
Boom.
Ding.
Gasps washed over the crowd in disbelief.
Everyone was stunned.
Kurt hit the coat with all his power, and Helix didn\'t move.
He wasn\'t a steel wall either.
So instead of launching backward, his shaken body tripped and fell to the ground.
His sword fell out of his hands and clanged to the ground.
Helix waited for Kurt to look at him again.
When their eyes made eye contact, Helix took his hands out of his pocket, grabbed his lapels, and popped his collar.
"Like the coat?" Helix asked with a slight smile.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Excitement exploded from the stadium.
Macron, Lamath, and the guards were shocked, knowing that a Level 27 super Earthian didn\'t have the strength to leave a scratch on the coat.
Helix chuckled when he saw Eliza\'s face.
Charlotte didn\'t know who Helix was sending glances to, but they knew she was a woman.
Therefore, she studied Eliza carefully before seeing the Royal Guard insignias on their armor.
Once Charlotte understood who he was looking at, she grinned from ear to ear.
Marie and Riley were giggling as well.
They were standing to his left, so Marie could only tell Riley.
Helix was making a political speech to gain the support of the Kingdom, and he was killing it.
His partners were eating it up.
"Listen up, Cheat hopefuls!" Helix ordered with his hand raised.
Everyone calmed down and waited for his next words.
"Cheat characters are comically strong, and their gear is also comically strong.
This coat is a prime example of that." He chuckled.
"However, do you think this ultra-stylish and highly impractical Earthian peacoat is a legendary-grade item found in dungeons?"
The crowd fell silent.
One person chuckled.
Then another.
A third chuckled a little louder.
Everyone in the arena started chuckling.
Finally, one person laughed, and the place exploded with laughter.
"Glad we\'re on the same page." Helix commented with a sassy grin.
"Okay. Then what\'s going on? First, my Level is ridiculously high.
I don\'t need this coat.
However, I would die before letting someone cut at my real skin, and trusting an abstract stat would help me."
Chuckles rippled through the crowd.
"So what\'s the real reason? The real reason is that this peacoat is made from the hide of a Level 157 Warpshire Hellhound.
If I let someone else wear this peacoat, pants, and boots I had a designer make for me, do you know what would happen?" Helix asked with a slight smile.
Whispers of disbelief, awe, and confusion ebbed and flowed through the crowd.
"People couldn\'t hurt us?" Leo asked with wide eyes.
Everyone turned to the young man, desperate for protection after his run-in with Ronka.
"That\'s right, Leo. If it\'s a sword and someone didn\'t hit your face….."
Helix paused for dramatic effect with a gentle smile.
"You\'d be invincible."
Gasps flew out of the mouths of the people standing next to Leo.
People were stunned and couldn\'t think straight.
"If this were a RPG, you\'d call this type of clothing…." Helix began while looking down and pinching his pants.
He looked up to make eye contact.
"Cheat codes. Who wants cheat codes in a world where you can actually die?"
The otakus and weebs looked like wax statues.
"Hmmm? No one wants a cheat code?" Helix chuckled in false bewilderment.
"Aw… and her I planned to give cheats to the Cheat Knights as a graduation—"
The Knights broke out of their daze in a panic.
"W-Wait!"
"Yes!"
"Please!"
Everyone broke into a disordered frenzy.
"Wait… so you want cheat codes then?" Helix asked with an evil grin.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"If you pass training and prove yourself to be an ally of the Princess of Alzeria, I will give fashionable armor from high-level beasts I\'ve slain.
It won\'t be this strong, but your defense stat will double instantly.
It\'s a fitting way to reward a Cheat, don\'t you think?"
An explosion of excited cries rocked the sound waves.
"I have five pieces of armor to loan people for the battle. After that, I\'ll be commissioning more from a world-class tailor for the new Cheat Knights." Helix explained.
"Who wants to be one of the five people whose defense stat will hit cheat status before our battle?
Who wants to be one of the five people that can reach legendary status for a mythical fight?"
The stadium devolved into pandemonium and chaos.
Eliza was getting excited, and the news that Helix brought powerful gear, unified the unstable Knights, and was training them was heavenly.
That wasn\'t all he did either, and she knew that.
Her guards forgot their shock of the Stalkwalker skull and got carried away in the heat of the moment.
Helix put up his hand to quiet people down.
"Good. Listen up! I won\'t give armor to people who may be a threat to my kingdom.
Making an enemy invincible to all fighters in Alzeria would be disastrous.
So I won\'t give just anyone armor I don\'t trust." Helix explained.
The power-weebs quieted down bitter chuckles.
"If you\'re let down thinking I\'ll pick Alzerian Knights, take a look at their faces." Helix laughed.
The power-weebs looked at the super-otakus with wide eyes.
The news crushed the otakus\' spirits.
"If you\'re confused, remember the stories I\'ve told you about my experience here." He suggested with a slight smile.
A wave of understanding washed over the power-weebs.
"However, everyone that has tried to kill me has been stripped of their Knightmare three months ago. So I don\'t have any enemies here.
I don\'t remember anyone except 23 people. So I have nothing against super-otakus.
I trust you all equally. While I\'ll give aid to my friends, I won\'t give them the five pieces of rare-grade armor when others deserve them more.
My reason for being here is to protect Alzeria.
That\'s it. I\'m not here to train people for fun, and I won\'t be staying for long." He explained.
The Knights looked at him with wide eyes.
"I\'ll trust helpful, good-natured people, who endure grueling training, help others, and prove their loyalty to our Princess and people." Helix explained with a low voice.
"Right now, the best way to do that is by promoting cooperation between the Thyme Kingdom and Alzerian Kingdom Knights.
Help each other grow, be kind to one another, and support people.
It\'s not about social skills; it\'s about being a good person, working hard, and being kind even if you have social anxiety.
The strongest are not guaranteed the armor.
If the strongest got it automatically, people like Ronka have a shot, and that would be… fucking stupid." Helix laughed.
Everyone followed behind him.
There was not a single person loyal to Ronka anymore.
Team Helix and War Goddesses owned all loyalty.
Eliza was thrilled.
"Listen! If you follow your War Goddesses and foster relationships between Thyme and Alzeria;
If you train hard with us and have a desire to help others;
If you ditch the stupid fucking cultivator language and start treating Myriad like Earth;
If you desire to grow, learn magic, and improve yourselves…."
Helix scanned the crowd of excited people.
"We\'ll help turn you into Broken Cheat Knights that will save this world!"
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
