I Shall Cuck Everyone

*Whoosh!*

My wings unfurl, sending bursts of wind swirling through the arena as I descend to the floor with a nearly imperceptible thud. The crowd roars in anticipation as I take my first steps toward the center of the field, closing the distance between me and the celestial monkey Emperor.

Studying him more closely, I note that he stands a tad taller than me. Similar to Gento, the celestial monkey Emperor is shirtless, revealing a canvas of tattoos covering his body. What captivates me most is a large snake tattoo, coiled around his wrist and winding its way up his arm. Apart from the tattoos, his teeth gleam jagged and razor-sharp, more reminiscent of a beast's teeth compared to the other celestial monkeys.

"Prince Jake of the vampire race, it's an honor to have you as a guest in our kingdom. I must apologize for my rather unorthodox approach, but I returned recently and couldn't contain my curiosity about your remarkable reputation. I felt compelled to have a sparring match with you and witness firsthand what makes you such a formidable opponent," the celestial monkey Emperor says with a faint grin.

In response to his words, I flash a confident smile.

"The pleasure is mine, your Majesty. I've heard of your legendary strength, and I'm eager to experience it for myself," I reply, matching his grin, which draws a slight squint of intrigue from the celestial monkey Emperor.

"Then, let's put that to the test," the Emperor declares, assuming a fighting stance.

Without warning, the referee dashes forward and positions himself between the two of us.

"At the count of three, the match shall commence. One...two...three...begin!" The referee announces with a resounding blow of his whistle.

As the referee signals the start of the bout, both the Emperor and I remain stationary, standing side by side, our unwavering gazes locked upon each other.

Suddenly, the tattoos adorning the Emperor's body begin to shimmer with a radiant light. The serpent inked on his arms bursts to life, transforming into a large, menacing black snake with fangs nearly five inches long.

"This serpent is known as the Venom Schneider, a creature whose venom can corrode anything it touches," the Emperor explains, maintaining a tight grip on the serpent's tail, preventing it from lunging at me.

"Interesting," I murmur as I examine the serpent before me. "Is it some sort of mystical creature? I don't sense any beastly aura from it..." I comment, still puzzled by the creature's nature.

In the background, the audience grows restless, murmuring and chatting among themselves, expecting our fierce clash to begin as soon as the referee's countdown concluded. However, the opposite appears to be occurring as we both stand in a standoff, our eyes never wavering from each other.

"Idiot!" the emperor retorts, his teeth gritted in frustration. "This isn't a beast. Haven't you heard of the Great Seven Schneiders?"

"Great Seven Schneiders... I haven't heard of that before. But that doesn't change anything," I respond with a casual shrug.

In my past life, there was no mention of strange creatures called Schneiders. It appears that a lot has changed with each reincarnation, and I'm continually learning about the unique aspects of this world.

The emperor's demeanor suddenly shifts, and he adopts a very serious stance. He wears a smile, but it's not a friendly one. I sense something is about to happen.

"Just how ignorant can you be, Prince Jake..." the emperor mutters with a sly grin.

As the words leave his mouth, the serpent coiled around his arms lunges at me with startling speed and increased size. My instincts kick in, and adrenaline courses through my veins. A flurry of thoughts floods my mind.

Should I evade the serpent's attack? My body is nearly resistant to any poison, so this could be an opportunity to enhance my poison tolerance.

I decide to stay in place as the snake reaches me at lightning speed, sinking its fangs into my shoulder with a force akin to ten thousand pounds per square inch. Surprisingly, its fangs effortlessly pierce my flesh, and I can feel the venom entering my body. For a brief moment, I start to feel dizzy, but my vision swiftly returns to normal.

Gazing at the serpent still injecting venom into my body, I wear a confident smirk. I reach out and grip the snake's head, catching it off-guard.

The snake's body tightens around me, attempting to crush me, but its efforts prove futile.

With the serpent's head firmly in my grasp, I raise it, pointing it back at the emperor.

"Is this it...? Is this your Venom Schneider? It's pretty useless if you ask me," I taunt as I effortlessly crush the serpent's head within my grip. In an instant, the snake turns to dust and reappears as a tattoo on the emperor's body.

My actions visibly frustrate the emperor, and he grits his teeth in annoyance.

"Who knew you had a poison constitution," the emperor mutters. "Besides, that was the weakest Schneider."

"Fufu, using such a cheap trick was unexpected of you," I respond with a teasing grin.

"In battle, any means to win can't be discriminated. If you were defeated by the weakest Schneider, then you're the weakest vampire in existence!" the emperor roars. In a flash, a surge of Ki erupts from him, even more potent than Zeno's fifth stage. I can feel the overwhelming heat and intensity radiating from it. I attempt to activate my own Ki, but it feels as though the emperor's Ki pool is draining my energy.

"Let me show you what real power is," the emperor declares, a white ball of light beginning to form in his hand.
