Chapter 4140 Identity
"So, is that right or wrong?" Linton asked Aizen beside him.

That's right, Linton and Aizen were already there. Linton had said he was coming, so he simply opened a portal and arrived at the scene.

Originally, I was planning to unleash my full power and crush everyone, but I was completely dumbfounded when I arrived at Linton.

Wait, who is this guy?

Linton only realized upon arrival that this person was completely unrecognizable. He had been watching the live stream, which never showed the person's face, and he hadn't questioned the person's self-identification as Soma Yukihira. But upon arriving at the scene, he found he didn't recognize the person at all. What was going on?

It's already strange enough that Soma Yukihira suddenly appeared and sided with Yūnori Takaoka, but now it turns out he's not the real person. Who understands this plot? Who is this guy? Why is he impersonating the protagonist?
There were so many questions that Linton didn't act immediately; he was genuinely curious about what this guy was up to.

As it turns out, Aizen's side indicated that this person might actually be Yukihira Soma.

“This person’s aura doesn’t match Yukihira Soma’s, but there is one thing that matches,” Aizen said. “I sensed Ōtakemaru’s demonic aura on him.”

That's right, Soma Yukihira participated in the battle against Ōtakemaru, and then Ōtakemaru was sealed inside Soma Yukihira's body. Linton was of course aware of this, but he couldn't discern any of Ōtakemaru's demonic power.

Perception wasn't his strong suit, and besides, the power system of this world was relatively unfamiliar to Linton. Only someone like Aizen, who studies the local characteristics of each world and manages to figure things out, could distinguish it clearly.

"Ootakemaru's demonic aura?" Linton frowned; this was indeed very strange. Logically, Ootakemaru was sealed within Yukihira Soma's body; how could he be released and then resealed by another person?

“I suspect that this was done by System Xiao Hei, or someone from Takamagahara,” Aizen said. “Because besides Ōtakemaru’s demonic aura, I also sensed some divine aura in this body. So I suspect… that the system or some deity modified Yukihira Soma’s body, adding some of the bloodlines of those Amanto from Takamagahara.”

"Oh?" Linton was somewhat surprised. Could it really be done like that? If that's the case, then this person who calls himself Yukihira Soma doesn't possess the powers of a human, a kamaru, and a god, does he?

"Huh? For some reason, this sounds familiar." Linton thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wait, isn't this just a carbon copy of Kurosaki Ichigo?"

As he spoke, Linton couldn't help but look at Aizen beside him. Indeed, when Kurosaki Ichigo was mentioned, Aizen was inevitably brought to mind.

"Speaking of which, it really does have some similarities." Aizen wasn't embarrassed at all. Although he knew that according to the original history, he was indeed killed by Kurosaki Ichigo, but that hadn't happened yet.

Kurosaki Ichigo possesses the powers of humans, Shinigami, and Quincy, while Yukihira Soma possesses the powers of humans, demons, and Celestials. They are quite similar indeed.

"Are you sure? This guy doesn't look like Soma Yukihira," Linton said, pointing to the person exchanging punches with Ashura. Although Linton's memory wasn't great, Soma Yukihira's appearance was indeed very distinctive.

Putting everything else aside, Soma Yukihira's striking red hair has always been quite noticeable. However, the boy in front of him has gray hair, which is a huge difference.

It's well known that many characters in anime look alike, and hairstyle is the most important way to distinguish them. Hairstyle is practically a representation of the character; if someone changes their hairstyle, can they still be the same person?
"If my guess is correct, then during the modification, in order to integrate the new bloodline, a process similar to body reconstruction was probably carried out. Some changes in appearance are not the main point," Aizen said.

"Then why would he help them fight Ashura?" Linton asked. "That... I really don't know." Aizen still hadn't figured it out.

As the two were talking, Ashura launched another attack on the main battlefield.

This was a real attack; Asura had no intention of holding back.

The previous punch had already proven the human's strength. This was someone who could be considered a worthy opponent, so Ashura was serious this time.

This time, he swung all six arms, launching a barrage of punches at Soma Yukihira in front of him. Indeed, this situation was somewhat reminiscent of Star Platinum's Ora Ora, and of course, the speed of his punches was astonishing, and he truly did have six arms.

Unexpectedly, Soma Yukihira on the other side also did not dodge or evade, but instead directly exchanged punches with his opponent.

The two fighters exchanged blows, the sounds of their collisions like a series of explosions, and the force was terrifying. The surrounding ground was blown away by the wind pressure generated by the force of their clashes.

However, this confrontation did not last long, mainly because Soma Yukihira's side could not hold on.

Perhaps due to the advantage of having more hands, Soma Yukihira struggled immensely to withstand the attacks of his opponent's six hands. And then, in the next moment…

A deafening roar of thunder echoed, accompanied by a massive bolt of blue lightning sweeping across the ground. The sudden attack forced the Asura in front of him back several steps.

Soma Yukihira suddenly unleashed a powerful strike crackling with lightning, catching Ashura, who was exchanging blows, off guard.

Although he felt the power of the lightning strike, Ashura still wore an arrogant smile. He hadn't been able to exchange blows head-on, so he had to use another technique to push him away; he must have won a small round.

Ashura didn't attack immediately. Instead, he waved his hand, dispelling the lightning that was binding him. Indeed, Soma Yukihira's punch, accompanied by lightning, had struck his right hand directly. The power of the lightning seemed to be stuck to his hand, and it even appeared to have a continuous destructive effect.

However, he directly dispelled the power of the lightning, and he even felt that the power was somewhat familiar, as if it came from the demon realm.

"Excellent, that was exhilarating!" Ashura laughed loudly. "Stronger than I expected, human. This is the first time I've ever had such a satisfying fight with a human; I never imagined it before. By the way, you said there are humans stronger than you?"

“That’s right,” Soma Yukihira nodded.

"Who is he? What's his name? Where can I find him?" Ashura said. "After I've dealt with you, I'll have to find this strongest human."

"Then you don't need to look anymore." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Ashura. Upon hearing this voice, Ashura's face showed obvious astonishment for the first time.
