Chapter 2

In short, the Strongest Puppet System was a system capable of drawing puppets of various characters and powerhouses from all the heavens and myriad worlds; these puppets possessed the powers, and even everything else, of these powerhouses.

Emotion Points were the currency system of the golden finger system.

Whether Lin Cheng wanted to draw puppets, upgrade puppets, or use the system for other things, he needed to use Emotion Points, and the method to obtain Emotion Points was very simple.

All emotions related to Lin Cheng, whether positive or negative, could be absorbed as Emotion Points. For example, his Emotion Points had now become 21.

This was because of the emotions generated by the people around Lin Cheng—Eclair and Momon—because of him.

'Use the initial puppet draw opportunity to draw a puppet.'

Without any hesitation, Lin Cheng chose to draw a puppet.

【Initial puppet draw opportunity used successfully. The system is drawing...】

Following Lin Cheng’s choice, a massive, almost boundless roulette appeared in his mind, spinning rapidly.

Countless phantoms appeared on the roulette, but because the speed was too fast, Lin Cheng couldn't see a single one clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, the roulette finally slowed down and stopped. Only then could Lin Cheng barely make out a few figures.

Jet-black short hair, golden pupils as sharp as an eagle’s—that was the world’s greatest swordsman from the Grand Line, Hawkeye Mihawk.

A head of long, silvery-white hair, with a crescent moon-shaped mark in the middle of his forehead.

Also a pair of pale golden eyes, exuding nobility—this was that perfect great demon from the *Inuyasha* world, Sesshomaru.

'Hawkeye Mihawk, the great demon Sesshomaru.'

Watching the large roulette gradually come to a stop, Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the excitement in his heart.

Whether it was Hawkeye Mihawk or the great demon Sesshomaru, they should not be considered weaklings in the *Fairy Tail* world.

Not to mention beating up the ancestor of black magic, Zeref, or crushing the black dragon Acnologia.

But they would certainly be among the top tier of powerhouses.

The world’s greatest swordsman and a perfect great demon could fully allow him to possess initial self-preservation capabilities in the *Fairy Tail* world.

'Will it be Hawkeye Mihawk, or the great demon Sesshomaru?'

Watching the roulette pointer sway continuously, Lin Cheng was slightly nervous.

【Initial puppet draw complete.】

The system’s prompt sounded in Lin Cheng’s mind.

The roulette pointer, which had been swaying constantly, froze the moment the system prompt appeared. A brand-new figure appeared on the massive roulette, not the domineering Mihawk or the noble Sesshomaru from before.

Dark green hair cut to the ears, wearing a small hat on his head.

His figure looked exceptionally gaunt, his face twisted with a strange expression, and his eyes were filled with an emotion called madness.

【Congratulations to the host for drawing from the Witch Cult series: Sin Archbishop of Sloth.】

【Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti!】

With the completion of the puppet draw, a series of information about the puppet appeared in Lin Cheng’s mind.

【Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti】

【A-rank Puppet】

【Star Level: ☆】

【Re:Zero series, Witch Cult, Sin Archbishop of Sloth】

【Ability: Earth Magic Mastery】

【Special Effects: Authority: Unseen Hand (☆ Unlocked), Fingertip Rebirth (☆ Unlocked), ??? (☆☆☆ Unlocked)】

【Puppet Charge: 100% (Can recover automatically after being consumed, but requires time.)】

【Puppet Recall: Available (Can recall the puppet regardless of distance, with a 24-hour cooldown.)】

'It’s actually that Sin Archbishop of Sloth...'

Lin Cheng looked at the figure of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth in his mind, not knowing what to say.

Although before transmigrating, Lin Cheng had already finished watching the first and second seasons of *Re:Zero*, and had even caught up on almost all the novels, so he had some understanding of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.

However, the moment the figure of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth truly appeared in his mind, it still gave Lin Cheng a significant sense of eeriness.

There was no helping it; the Sin Archbishop of Sloth was simply not a normal person. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====

【Ding! First puppet draw, 100% critical hit.】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the puppet: Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti’s subordinate puppets.】

【C-rank puppet, Witch Cult, Sloth Cult, Fingertip.】 X10

【D-rank puppet, Witch Cult, Sloth Cult, Cultist.】 X100

Just as Lin Cheng was thinking about how to use the Sin Archbishop of Sloth puppet, his system inventory gained ten more C-rank puppets and one hundred D-rank puppets.

It is worth mentioning here that puppet ranks are divided into seven levels: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D.

However, these seven levels are not divided by the strength or weakness of their power, but by their cultivation potential; puppets of every level can be cultivated.

As long as there are enough resources, it is not impossible to cultivate a D-rank puppet into something even more powerful than an SSS-rank puppet, but the resources required would be exceptionally disproportionate to the gain.

C-rank and D-rank puppets are puppets without cultivation value.

B-rank and A-rank puppets are puppets that can be cultivated; investing corresponding resources can yield considerable returns.

And S-rank to SSS-rank puppets are the truly heaven-defying ones.

The A-rank rating of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth is considered quite good here; although his strength is more than a grade weaker compared to the many powerhouses who appear in *Re:Zero*, his potential is indeed decent.

He is evaluated by the system as a puppet that can be cultivated.

Puppets can be controlled by Lin Cheng’s consciousness, or set to artificial intelligence Sage Mode; besides being absolutely loyal to Lin Cheng, their actions and thinking are not much different from the original person.

'It even gifted C-rank and D-rank puppets?'

'However, in the original work, these C-rank and D-rank puppets were just fodder, and they don't seem to be of much use.'

Tucked in his quilt, Lin Cheng recalled the scenes from when he was still watching *Re:Zero* before transmigrating.

Although the Sin Archbishop of Sloth and his cultists appeared as the final big boss of the first season of *Re:Zero* and caused the original protagonist Natsuki Subaru to die many times, their raw strength was not that heaven-defying.

Among them, those cultists were even more like grass to be mowed down.

Now that he had the Sin Archbishop of Sloth puppet and numerous cannon-fodder puppets, he certainly had some self-preservation power in the *Fairy Tail* world, but Lin Cheng wasn't very clear on just how much.

The combat power of the *Fairy Tail* world is still quite exaggerated; the combat power system in the *Re:Zero* world is probably only worth looking at for the very top tier.

For example, the ceiling of combat power, the Child of the World, the Sword Saint Reinhard.

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Cheng was gradually feeling sleepy while thinking in his quilt, a violent explosion sound came directly over.

The violent explosion instantly caused Lin Cheng’s already hazy sleepiness to vanish completely.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?!"

Momon, who had already fallen asleep, was also startled awake by the violent explosion.

It flapped its little wings in a panic, flying around the room.

"The situation doesn't seem right."

Compared to the somewhat panicked Momon, Eclair’s emotions and expression were much calmer.

Leaning against the window, Eclair looked at the faint firelight in the distance and the intermittent cries, her face looking somewhat unpleasant as she said, "I'm afraid we can't stay in this city anymore."

"Damn mages."

"Lin Cheng, get up, we're leaving."

Saying this, Eclair stood up quickly.

She didn't pack any of the things in the room and headed straight out the door with Momon.

Because of some special reasons, Eclair did not like mages, so the cities she usually chose to stay in were basically remote areas without mages or Class Mage guilds.

Likewise, precisely because they were remote and had no mages, such cities were almost undefended.

It was very easy for them to be attacked by mages from some dark Class Mage guilds.

After all, no matter how remote a place is, if there are many people, there is still some profit to be made; the *Fairy Tail* world, after all, is still a relatively feudal society.

Prosperous areas might have sound systems comparable to modern society, but in remote areas, that just doesn't work.

"Hey, hey, aren't we taking anything with us?"

"At least take some food and water."

Lin Cheng looked at Eclair, who was empty-handed and ready to leave, and was somewhat speechless. ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
