Is It Wrong to Abusing Cartoon Tropes in Dungeon?

Whether it's a holy sword, a demonic sword, or a divine sword—whatever the name—Altair now only wanted a weapon capable of killing gods, or at least one that could harm Heretic Gods. This was because his attack methods in the Campione world were severely limited. He couldn't always rely on his BGM combo attacks to solve every problem. While it worked well against steel heroes, if a sun god showed up, things would get annoying.

In the DanMachi world, as things stood, a divine sword was out of the question. Hephaestus had made it clear that she wouldn't forge overly powerful weapons for humans, as it would undermine their growth. Even the Hestia Knife she crafted for Bell in the original story was a weapon that grew alongside him.

As for demonic swords, they were rather underwhelming for Altair. In the DanMachi world, demonic swords could be understood as high-quality weapons with special magic. These magical effects could be unleashed or sustained for a period of time.

In terms of magical adventure potential, the weapons, equipment, and skills in the DanMachi world had relatively low ceilings. A single authority from the Campione world could easily outclass them. After all, Falna was about unlocking human potential, not turning you into something beyond human. No matter how much you unlocked, you were still human. Campiones, on the other hand, had already transcended humanity.

Therefore, if Altair wanted a high-tier weapon, he would have to make it himself. By combining the curse techniques from the Campione world with the materials from the DanMachi world, he could forge a god-slaying sword.

It would be like the old man who spent ten years nurturing a demonic sword capable of killing Nidhogg. That method worked, but it was too specific and time-consuming. In essence, it was a specialized tool that would be far less effective outside its intended use.

Of course, in the Campione world, one could also obtain weapons by defeating Heretic Gods. For example, there was a sword in Japan.

The Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, a divine sword and subordinate god of Susanoo, was an excellent divine weapon. It possessed the ability to "steal," allowing it to take an enemy's authority and either fuse it with itself or merge it with its wielder's authority to create a new one.

This sword, combined with the Twelve Forms, became the protagonist's ultimate cheat. Originally, the Twelve Forms had twelve abilities, but the sword allowed these abilities to merge with the Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, giving the protagonist over a dozen additional skills. While others had to fight tooth and nail to gain multiple authorities, the protagonist simply had to defeat one Heretic God to gain dozens. It was absurd.

Altair knew who currently wielded the Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, but he had no interest in it.

The reason was simple: once the sword bonded with someone, it would reside within their body. The problem was that the sword had a spirit, and it was male.

Altair didn't want a male sword spirit living in his right hand, constantly watching his life. No matter how powerful it was, sorry, but he never rolled for male characters in games. It was a matter of principle!

As for defeating other Heretic Gods to obtain weapons, the uncertainty was too high. Each Heretic God was like a gacha pool. There might be weapons in the pool, but you could only pull once. Getting a weapon was too difficult unless you made a deal with a Heretic God: "If I kill you, will you give me a weapon?" Do you think they'd agree?

So, the weapon had to be forged by himself!

"Old man, do you know if there are any materials in these deep floors suitable for forging weapons?"

Altair left the middle of the formation and went to the rear, where he found the dwarf Gareth and struck up a conversation.

"Are you talking to me?"

Gareth was surprised by Altair's sudden approach and even thought he might have misheard.

"Yes, old man."

"I'm not an old man! I'm not that old!"

Gareth was a bit exasperated. As a dwarf, he was often misunderstood. Dwarves naturally had thick hair, and since they didn't like shaving or grooming, they often appeared older than they were.

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, Mr. Gareth. My apologies."

"Whatever, it's not just you."

Gareth sighed in resignation and then shifted the conversation back.

"What did you ask me earlier?"

"I wanted to know if there are any materials around the 50th floor suitable for forging weapons."

"For forging weapons, there are plenty of materials beyond the 50th floor. Finn's magic spear, for example, was forged from materials found beyond the 50th floor. Loki put a lot of effort into helping Finn forge that spear."

"Compared to materials from the upper floors, deep-level materials have much higher magic tolerance, allowing the forged demonic swords to unleash magic more times. Finn's magic spear can unleash magic far more times than other demonic swords of the same level, giving it a significant advantage."

Finn was the captain of the Loki Familia, and Riveria was the vice-captain. The vice-captain's staff had cost several billion valis, so Finn's magic spear definitely wasn't cheap either.

However, whether it was a magic spear or a magic staff, Altair found them lacking.

So, while Gareth was explaining which materials could be used to forge demonic swords, Altair began to lose interest.

Materials that could only forge demonic swords, with limited magic tolerance, were completely incapable of withstanding cursed energy.

After all, while a normal human body could handle magic, cursed energy would instantly kill them unless they had protective curses. Otherwise, the impact of cursed energy flowing through their meridians would turn them to ash in moments.

It seemed that the DanMachi world had locked down the upper limits of human potential by severely restricting the capabilities of materials.

Tsk, suddenly feeling quite disappointed.

He had previously hoped to combine the technologies of both worlds to forge his own holy sword. But now, it seemed that the materials from the DanMachi world were a lost cause.

It looked like he'd have to wait for the system to refresh and unlock another world, preferably a sustainable one like the Campione world, before he could forge the holy sword he desired.

Alternatively, he could go to a world where he could obtain a holy sword for free, especially if the sword had a spirit—preferably a beautiful girl.

In short, recruiting a holy sword: female applicants only.

[Bleach: Love and Bonds Make Me Stronger!]

Synopsis:

Falling into a rabbit hole called the Soul Society is bad enough.

But do you know what's even worse than that?

Landing in a Soul Society where the very concept of the Gotei 13 doesn't even exist yet!

Armed with shattered fragments of meta-knowledge, Makoto struggles to survive in the Rukongai amidst human-shaped monsters.

But even after throwing everything he's got into the fight, staying alive in a world where the Soul Society's Most Diabolical Criminal still roams free is nothing short of impossible.

Fortunately, it seems the gods might have heard his suffering, on the brink of death, his cheat finally awakens!

[Love and Bonds System!]

As long as he builds relationships be it romance or friendship with every character around him, his strength will grow.

Simple, right?

But…

[Unohana-mama, can you give me some of your milk?]

[Bald old man, you're lucky to face just 1% of my power, otherwise, you'd be split in half and dead!]

[Saito-chan, could you sit on my face? Please!]

[Aizen-kun, you might be good at manipulation, but that brain of yours is still only 3% of mine!]

[Yhwach, if you can see every possible future, can you see one where you become a Magical Girl?]

Why the fuck this system have a foul mouth that only drags him toward death instead of fostering love and bonds?
