Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Something's Perspective]

"Wow, Teddy is amazing! If time had been paused for even a fraction of a second later, the world would have been destroyed."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍɆȺŁĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐɃɆȺȺɍɆɌɇɆȺŁȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"Yes, that's me."

【ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ】

"There's no other way. Your other body has already been destroyed, so I can only appear using Alucard's body."

【ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be curious about this. It's because your Counter Force doesn't have a name. [Teddy-chan] is the new name I gave you."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ】

"Actually, it does make some sense, because this name suits you quite well. After all, the smaller the dog, the louder it barks and the fiercest it bites."

【ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇ ɆȺŁ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"What? Not satisfied? But I think it's really suitable, because to me, you're just a worthless dog that I can kick to death at any time."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

"Want to know why I'm still alive? Do I look like I'm still alive? It's just that you paused time in this small area, so my energy isn't being used up for the time being."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ】

"Hmm, that's pretty much the principle, so don't rush. Let me move around a bit. This body of Alucard is quite rough, but it looks pretty good. I quite like it."

Also, please stop barking for now; it's really noisy.

He's nothing but a worthless dog.

I never expected the inhibitor to malfunction at this crucial moment; my safety mechanism was triggered like this...

But this is fine too, it's part of the plan, after all, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

There are even gods and humans...

No, that's not my concern...

The little guy can do it, he can do it better than me, and he has countless more chances.

But... looking at the sphere of light in the sky... it's hard not to feel a little sad...

My witch...

I first met you here, and although I long to see you again, it's a pity we always miss each other...

I'm no longer even something that can be considered dead, and you're no longer you...

sorry......

I broke my promise...

But this time will be different...

You will definitely get home safely...

In fact, this is a rare opportunity to observe the Great Transfer up close and analyze intelligence during the pause in time. Even if this attempt fails, there will be another one.

but......

That's amazing...

That wretched dog actually managed to go to such lengths...

It really deserves high praise.

"I see......

Little did I know that this was the true purpose of the Great Transfer.

The magical power consumed is not simply used to summon witches, and even summoning witches is only secondary; the main purpose is to alter fate.

Is this your plan?

Cut out the result of my previous annihilation of gods and humans, and then take this opportunity to forcibly graft it onto the fate of this world, turning it into a fixed outcome.

At the same time, taking advantage of the little guy's weakness when he has exhausted his magic power, use this spell to directly decompose his body into magic power and kill him.

Furthermore, he used the magic he released to expand the range of the spell's effects, forcibly altering and aligning two different fates.

In this way, by the year 510 of the Kakuryō calendar, the gods and humans will inevitably face death, thus eliminating an unstable factor ahead of time.

That's killing two birds with one stone!

You're still the same as ever, incredibly hardworking and ruthless.

【ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·⛧·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

"Yes, I can understand. In order to ensure the continuation of the world, the fate of the individual can be ignored, which is actually quite reasonable."

【ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"Because I can understand you, but you can't understand me."

【ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"You were no match for the god of men, so you came to me. I helped you destroy the god of men, and all I wanted was a reward. But you were so stingy that you not only refused to give it to me, but you even tried to kill me. So I had no choice but to fight for it myself."

【ɃɆȺȺɍ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ】

"You seem to have misunderstood something. That was just a metaphor. You've reincarnated countless times and still couldn't defeat even gods and men, while I did it in one go. So you're not some boss; to me, you're just an unruly dog. And one day, I'll kill you."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

"It's rare to hear you swear like that. But... please recognize your place."

【ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ】

"Yes, that's right, that's it, good dog."

【ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

"To prevent you from making any more foolish mistakes, let me explain in detail."

Destroying the world has always been an easy thing for me.

Even if I've become like this now.

Because it doesn't require much power, it's just a very simple principle, and I can do it by combining it with my origin.

That principle is called vacuum decay.

I only need to make a reasonable slight modification to reality, and that slight destructive power will spread throughout the entire universe at the speed of light.

If you pause time even a fraction of a second slower, allowing it to spread, the whole world will never have another chance.

Ultimately, you are nothing more than a useless suppressive force born from this fragile planet.

I possess the power to destroy the entire universe in an instant.

【ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"The detailed principles? You really want to know?"

【...】

"Yes, that's what a smart dog is like. Forbidden knowledge can bring destruction."

【ɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ】

"Please don't misunderstand, he has always known this principle and is capable of doing it. It's just that he's younger than me and a little kinder, so he's unwilling to do it."

【ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ】

"Look at what you're saying. Was it my fault for doing all this? You were the one who courted death first. And when you paused time, didn't you react very quickly? You only needed to rewind time a tiny bit."

【ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɃɆȺȺɍ】

Why do you think I'd care how much power you expend?

【ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ】

"If possible, I certainly wouldn't want it to be like this, since it's a lose-lose situation, but a lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose one. So I hope this is the first and the last time."

【ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ】

"That's right, you should know what to do next, right, Teddy? This spell has already absorbed a lot of magic power, hasn't it? I won't allow you to continue expanding the scope of the disaster. You can change your fate, but you can't involve innocent people."

【ɃɆȺȺɍ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·ŁøȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ】

"This is certainly not something I would do, but this is no longer my story, and I am not the protagonist."

【⛧⛧⛧·ĐɆȺĐ·ȺŁɆɌȺ·ⱧɆŁŁ·ĐɆȾɆȻȾɆĐ·Łø ȺɨɇƶȺɍ·ɃɆȺȺɍ·ȺȺɍȺĐøɨ·ɆɌɇɆȺŁ·⛧⛧⛧】

Time began to flow backward, returning to the time when the little guy was still alive, and then paused again.

I also withdrew that world-destroying power.

Vacuum decay

The principle is actually somewhat similar to that of supercooled water.

Supercooled water is at a temperature far below freezing point, yet it remains liquid.

It appears stable, but with just a gentle tap or the mere presence of an invisible speck of dust, it can freeze instantly, from a single point, into a solid block of ice.

The universe is like this bottle of water.

The physical laws we take for granted are those of the seemingly stable liquid state.

The theory calls it a [false vacuum].

That speck of dust was merely a quantum event, a tiny fluctuation within space itself.

That event was [vacuum decay].

Once it happens, it will be like a death bubble at minus one hundred million degrees Celsius, spreading outward at the speed of light, rewriting the physical laws of the entire world.

The probability of this happening is extremely low; I don't remember exactly how low. Anyway, I've heard it's so low that it's almost impossible for it to happen before the end of the universe.

But as a force capable of destroying the world, it's far too easy for someone like me who possesses the [rewrite] of origins.

Destroying the world, while cool, isn't my wish.

Even I, the most wicked demon king, do not wish to destroy this world where innocent people still live...

And this is no longer my world...

All I have to do is become a mutually threatening insurance policy to ensure that the crisis of world destruction always exists, so that the secret art of reincarnation can continue.

This is the perfect mission for a demon king like me.

It's up to you now...

If I give its inhibitions some eye drops, it probably won't dare to cause trouble anymore.

The world will operate according to our will.

In this way, although the scope of magical disasters will still increase, they will no longer destroy more terrain or sacrifice those with weak fate.

Only those with sufficient power of destiny will be transferred, and even if they are transferred, things will develop in a better direction.

As long as you keep working hard, that's fine.

Looking at this guy on the ground, who's worked way too hard and is way too lucky than me, I'm actually quite jealous...

And he looks quite handsome with white hair.

Ugh......

It is said that people cannot empathize with their past selves, but are you my past or my future?

If you can lower your standards, happiness is actually very simple for you...

Although the experiences were different, you were still a bit too greedy.

Want both, and want...

I somehow understand why Archer saw his past self.

What an idiot...

But this is good...

Just keep going like this...

only......

Pursuing those things will not bring you happiness; moving forward on that path will only lead to more and more pain and sorrow.

I can understand. After all, I am you, but you are not me. I am just a fragment of a soul, yet we share the same obsession.

The dreams you pursue require non-destructive power, and rely more on wisdom.

But I'm sorry, I can't be of much help. Not only do I lack the strength, but I also lack the wisdom. After all, I've made a mess of my own life; all I'm good at is destruction...

At most, I can only be like Lord Red Archer, not causing you any trouble.

And to be honest, I have no interest in bullying my younger self.

but......

I guess I did manage to help in some way?

That wretched dog of restraint, although the death of gods and humans has not been completely woven into the fate of this world, making it an inevitable future, it is still enough to keep gods and humans busy.

Just thinking about that guy's vision of the future, what he'll see after the Great Transfer, makes me want to laugh.

As for facing them head-on, you're a bit too confident.

If you fail.

I'll see you get your comeuppance then, and I'll laugh at you mercilessly before I make my move.

Because I am the strongest.

【after a while】

【Demon Continent: Necros Fortress】

[From the perspective of the Undying Demon King, Atofi]

Atofi: "Muya!"

Muya: "By Lord Atofi!"

NPC: "I feel like I lacked presence when I appeared as the Demon King before. Help me think of something..."

"Duang!!!"

The industrious immortal demon king Atofi is practicing various entrance poses with his adorable subordinates.

But before Atofi could finish speaking, a meteorite fell from the sky and crashed directly into the Demon King's castle!

And it smashed right in front of the throne!

NPC: "What happened?"

NPC: "Is it an enemy attack!?"

NPC: "Lord Atofi, be careful!"

Atofi: "Shut up! All of you, be quiet!"

The Demon King is indeed the Demon King, perfectly displaying the aura of a superior.

At the same time, he kept his eyes glued to the movements within the smoke and dust.

And what comes out of the smoke and dust?

A beautiful, green-haired man dressed in a white robe was holding a sleeping, white-haired man in his arms, protecting him.

Atofi: "I see, that's amazing!"

Muya: "Huh? Lord Atofi, have you figured something out?"

Atofi: "Yes, of course! The one in white robes and with green hair must be the strongest hero right now! And the one with white hair must be his princess!"

Muya: "But Lord Artofi, why do I feel that the princess looks somewhat like a man?"

Atofi: "That doesn't matter! What matters is that their entrance was way cooler than ours in rehearsal!"

Muya: "It seems that's indeed the case..."

Atofi: "But don't be afraid! I am the Demon King, and you are all part of the Demon King's castle. How can you forget your duties? They've already come to our doorstep! Now watch me! Watch as I, in the name of the Demon King, steal their princess!"

The Undying Demon King strode forward menacingly and stood in the very center of the hall!

The NPCs behind them automatically retreated to the corner of the wall.

Although, Atofi flicked his cloak and then drew his greatsword from its sheath, standing abruptly on the ground, displaying the demeanor of a king!

Atofi: "I am the immortal demon king! Atofi Latofi Rebek! Brave warrior! Hand over the princess in your arms!"

The green-haired man before the throne gently placed the princess in his arms onto the throne, then abruptly turned his head!

He stared at everyone with murderous eyes!

NPC: "The opponent looks very strong. Can Lord Artofi win?"

Muya: "We should...win, right?"

At this moment, the green-haired man also left the throne and protected the princess behind him.

Alucard: "My name is Alucard. Those who oppose me will surely die!"

Everyone in Qiqihar~

NPC: "Hilarious! We're a bunch of undead demons, he'd be lucky to kill us..."

But before the NPC could finish speaking, the green-haired man took action!

Do not!

It's over!

With just a single chop to the neck, he severed the Undying Demon King in two!

But the Undying Demon King truly lives up to his name! Even after being cut in half at the waist, he didn't die!

But that beautiful green-haired person didn't seem to be that gentle.

With a single stomp, he crushed the Demon King's head!

Then he swept his menacing gaze across the crowd!

Alucard: "I've said it before, those who oppose me will surely die!!!"

The story of Volume Two has come to an end.

Some readers might have previously felt that Lord Trevor was too powerful, that his abilities were overpowered. However, the story was designed by working backward from the ending. The required abilities changed at each stage, and he was also given some implicit limitations.

He's not bad at fighting, but he always wants to do things beyond his capabilities.

Moreover, the protagonist's personality has many flaws. He may appear saintly in the story, but he is actually a very extreme person.

They have an extreme fondness for good and an extreme hatred for evil.

Even minor characters are always seen as either black or white in the eyes of the protagonist, lacking a middle ground.

At the same time, he often reflects on himself and puts pressure on himself, which is why he seems relatively normal.

The author has a complete outline, and the plot of the third volume mainly revolves around the story of Trevor and Loki.

Progress won't be that fast; it's a process of getting to know each other for who they really are.

First, there's the issue of the protagonist's age; he'll have to wait until he's eighteen to complete the story at the end of the fourth volume.

Furthermore, I don't want to write the love story with Loki too hastily, making it seem like a haphazard, half-baked effort. The theory I'm referencing is probably the Animus and Anima theories.

Both parties need to see the real each other, recognizing both the other's strengths and weaknesses.

Even after discovering each other's flaws, they still choose to love each other.

It will take a long time for them to be together, and they won't get married until the end of the fourth volume. Starting from the fifth volume, they will be like the first volume, fooling around, playing together, and showering each other with sweetness.
