On how PhDs become human evil

Princess Altair, who was in military uniform, had changed out of her thick and hot military uniform and was now sitting opposite Bai Jie in casual clothes. Behind her stood two people: a middle-aged man in his forties who was constantly smoking, and a female knight who looked righteous and had a temperament very similar to Nearl.

Narrowing his eyes, Bai Jie immediately understood the identities of the two people—people that Altair had brought from other worlds to assist her in completing her plan, and all of them were popular characters from popular works.

Blitz Toka is a character from the cyberpunk comic and anime series Code Babylon.

The protagonist of the fantasy biographical manga and anime "Scarlet Alice" is Alice Febrile.

"Well, compared to me, it seems things aren't going so well on your end. Of the people you brought, three of them slipped away, didn't they?" Bai Jie laughed. "You've really caused quite a stir. One minute you're chasing each other on the highway, the next you're launching missiles in the park. Even though this world is supposed to be the land of gods, the combat power is unbelievably low. Are you sure you're okay with this kind of chaos?"

“Although it’s only a small amount, it has indeed damaged the stability of the world, which is just right for me,” Altair said with a smile. “So, Your Highness Fafnir, what is your decision?”

Altair was referring to Bai Jie's assistance in destroying this world. At the time, Bai Jie's answer was to wait until he had contacted his creator and seen this world before making a decision. Now, it was time for Bai Jie to give his answer.

Bai Jie tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and shifted the position of his left and right legs: "Hey, Altair, what kind of person do you think I am? If you knew, you would know my answer."

What kind of person is Bai Jie? There are actually many answers to this question. Bai Jie's personality varies depending on his circumstances at different times, and as for the Bai Jie of today...

"You'll do whatever you want, as long as it brings you pleasure and relieves your boredom—I think I understand what you mean." Altair stood up. "Then, Your Highness, please wait a while. I will do my best to make Your Highness happy."

Yes, as long as it makes Bai Jie happy, it's not impossible to have Bai Jie assist Altair.

"Oh, by the way, if possible, please keep the noise down. I consider myself a pacifist, so it wouldn't be good if you disturbed my sleep. I have a terrible temper when I wake up."

The implication was that you can fight, but don't disturb me and my wives from continuing the family line.

"I understand. Well then, I'm sorry to have bothered you. Farewell."

————————————————————————————

Less than ten seconds after Altair left, footsteps sounded behind Bai Jie, followed by someone's voice: "Are you really planning to destroy this world? That's not like you at all."

"You were the one who urged me to bring natural disasters to this world before, okay? Now that you've woken up from your chuunibyou, you want to be a hero of justice?" Bai Jie smiled as he looked at Talulah behind him.

Recalling the things she did when she was still acting like a teenager, Talulah blushed immediately: "Back then, I was young and impetuous, and I didn't know anything."

Yes, Talulah was indeed young and impetuous back then. The political disputes between her, Chen, Lungmen, and the Ursus Empire threw the entire Terra world into turmoil. In a sense, she was also very strong.

"So, you really intend to destroy this world?"

"How could that be? I'm not like Tsukasa Kadoya. Altair's reason for wanting to destroy the world is simply that her creator is dead and she feels despair about this world. As long as her creator is resurrected, everything will be fine, right?" Bai Jie laughed. "I can resurrect her creator at any time, but she's currently full of confidence and preparing to do something big. How can I extinguish her arrogance? Young people should take risks."

"So you're saying that no matter what she does, you'll ultimately help her?"

"Soon, we people who came from the so-called 'anime world' will have a gathering, and a big battle is inevitable. I'll just state my position and help her out. After she's vented, I'll bring her mother back to life."

After hearing Bai Jie's words, Talulah couldn't help but sigh: "Never mind, whatever makes you happy. By the way, have you seen Skadi? I just went to look for her but she wasn't there."

"She was probably dragged out by Exusiai to get something. There seems to be a comic convention nearby."

P.S.: I was catching up on Re:C until 2:30 AM last night, and then I realized something very important—so many settings can be used to pad the word count! Not to mention two updates a day, even five updates a day would be more than enough!

Gentlemen, I have a bold idea!

Section 340.3. Exusiai: Skadi, let's go, let's break up this fight!

Inside the SUNSHINE60 comic convention venue, Exusiai was dragging Skadi around in various places.

"Titi! Can you hold this for me? And this too! Waaaaah! Isn't that me? It looks so real!"

The novel "Doctor of Infinite Worlds" has reached its twelfth volume, and the anime has run for three seasons with a fourth season already planned. It is currently enjoying a period of great popularity, resulting in a plethora of merchandise related to the characters from the book. Looking around, a quarter of the entire venue was dedicated to displaying related items.

Exusiai exclaimed in surprise at a statue of hers, which, apart from lacking any divine resemblance, was exactly like her.

Behind Exusiai, Skadi, who had been pulled over by Exusiai to help carry things, quietly looked at her own statue, which was almost next to Exusiai's, in the distance. A faint smile appeared on her face, and it was clear that she was very satisfied.

"Hey! Isn't that the female protagonist from 'Folg's Knight's Tale' over there? She looks just like her!"

"Is she facing the magical assassin Mamika? The resemblance is amazing!"

"I wonder if we can take a photo together?"

......

These words reached the ears of Exusiai and Skadi. Having learned of the existence of created beings when they were brought to this world by Bai Jie, they immediately formed a guess regarding the words spoken.

(Was she also a princess in military uniform?)

(I think so, let's go check it out.)

The conversation was completed in a single glance. After putting everything aside, Skadi and Exusiai used their powerful bodies to push through the crowd and reach the group in the center. At that moment, the so-called heroine and the magical girl were facing off.

Serega Yubittia is the female protagonist of the fantasy robot anime series "Folger Knight".

Mamika Kiraki is the protagonist of the magical girl anime "Magical Killer Mamika," which is aimed at little girls.

Because both works are so famous, the characters in them are also widely known. Exusiai and Skadi, who have lived in this world for several months, naturally know the two of them—the two characters in the anime.

"...Please, listen to what I have to say! I don't think we have any reason to fight!"

“I think I know what ideas the woman in the military uniform has instilled in you, but unfortunately, things are not as simple as you think, and I have no intention of acting with that woman.”

"Why...wouldn't it be better to use the power of God to create a world where everyone is happy?"

Is this really what you'd expect from a children's anime? Their thoughts are so simple and naive. That's probably why Altair approached them; after all, immature people are easier to manage.

However, besides this, children's animation has another drawback, which is the problem of plot logic. Because it is animation aimed at children, the plot setting is not very rigorous, and it is basically a fixed routine of the protagonist defeating the villain.

So the protagonist is like that; once he can't persuade the enemy with words, he will resort to a very simple method of persuading them with reason.

"Magic Splash!"

Amidst this delicate shout, a heart-shaped energy ball erupted instantly in the venue! The magical impact annihilated the venue's decorations in a flash! A large hole was blasted into the adjacent wall on the spot!

(Wow, that was a really powerful attack. Are all magical girls this violent?)

(I don't know, but I think we should go down and check. That woman can't beat the magical girl with just a knife.)

————————————————————————

As Skadi said, comparing the combat power of two different works is a boring thing, after all, the worldviews of the two worlds are different. Selesia's world is a world of magic and mecha, and 90% of her combat power comes from her mecha. Once she leaves her mecha, she is just an ordinary person who can fly and has strong physical abilities.

While Mamika Kiraki is a magical girl, although magical girls have gradually become a high-risk profession in recent years, their combat power has also gradually become more violent. For example, the magical splash flash that just destroyed the venue is at most one-tenth of Mamika Kiraki's full-force attack.

Therefore, Serega was severely damaged by one AOE attack after another.

"To beat someone down with violence and then make them beg for mercy?" Serega, kneeling on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her words full of sarcasm. "Such things have never happened in your world, have they? Getting hurt, bleeding, those things don't happen in your world."

Children's anime is for kids, so naturally there shouldn't be any plots or things that could lead kids astray. Therefore, scenes involving bloodshed are usually censored or removed.

But this is reality; there are no unspeakable mosaics here.

Looking at the heavily injured Serega, Mamika Kiraki said in a voice on the verge of tears, "No... this shouldn't be happening... she was fine before."

"What an ignorant little girl, is this what magical girls are like?"

"You...you are now powerless to resist. Please listen carefully to what I have to say! I really don't want to fight you!"

"You started this fight all by yourself, and now you want everyone else to listen to you? You're really being willful," Selesia said with a wry smile. "But since you're on the women's side, I won't listen to you. Keep fighting!"

Despite being at a disadvantage, Seresa acted as if she had the upper hand and launched a sarcastic attack, while Mamika Kiraki, who had originally been in control, looked like she was about to cry.

"Alright, that's enough!"

A sudden voice broke into the battlefield as Exusiai, with her wings spread, descended from the sky with Skadi: "You two, if you continue fighting, it will only cause trouble for the surrounding area. How about we stop here?"

"But--"

"That's enough, Mamika. If we continue, that deep-sea sword saint will make his move."

Just as Mamika Kiraki was about to say something, Altair suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her from making any move.

"My apologies, Your Highness Exia, Your Highness Skadi. I have intruded into your domain without permission."

“You came just in time. I was about to draw my sword.” Skadi lowered her hand, which was halfway raised. If Altair hadn’t appeared, she would have already used force to persuade the two not to fight.

Rhodes Island has always won people over with virtue.

P.S.: So many things happened tonight for some reason. First, my roommate's QQ account was hacked and he was complaining anxiously. Then, because of the League of Legends World Championship, two of my roommates were excitedly shouting and yelling. Then, when I was getting dressed after showering, I found a wasp in my clothes and was stung twice. I rushed to the infirmary... Honestly, I have absolutely no mood to write, but I still have to write for the sake of my attendance record!

P.S.: Why has the number of favorites dropped so quickly these past few days? It went from 4350 all the way down to 4330. What's going on, everyone?

Section 341, paragraph 4. Listen to the lament of the tides.

Although she is still a child, as a magical girl, Mamika Kiraki's professional experience has taught her a thing or two about reading the room. It is clear that Altair does not want things to escalate any further.

Looking around at the streets cratered and battered by her own magic, and then at Serega, whom she had beaten badly, Mamika Kiraki reluctantly put down her wand.

Sensing that Mamika Kiraki behind him had lost her will to fight, Altair said, "Then we shall take our leave. We should meet again soon, Your Highness Exia, Your Highness Skadi."

A blue magic circle appeared beneath Altair and Mamika Kiraki's feet, and their figures vanished like a mosaic of light and shadow.

After the two left, Exusiai and Skadi looked at Selesia who was standing to the side.

Raising her sword, Selesia asked, "Are you also with that military princess's group?"

"No, we're more like neutral," Exusiai chuckled. "Depending on the situation, we'll help both your side and the Military Princess's side. But right now, my partner has basically decided to help Altair."

"Althael...is that the name of the military princess?"

"Selesia murmured, and no one noticed that the moment the name Altair was uttered, the bespectacled boy standing not far behind Selesia turned deathly pale.

"you..."

"Oh dear, it seems I'm late."

Just as Serega was about to say something, a cynical male voice rang out. Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw a purple-haired man standing there, holding a completely black wooden sword. Although it was unclear through his sunglasses, his eyes gave the impression of a wild beast, and Exusiai felt a sense of familiarity from them.

That was the same look in Bai Jie's eyes, a look that yearned for interesting things.

The man walked up to Serega, Exusiai, and Skadi and said, “My name is Mirokuji Yuya, and this guy’s name is Ban’e.”

As Mirokuji Yuya spoke, a female spirit dressed in ancient warrior armor and holding a naginata appeared behind him—you kid, you're a Stand user too?

"You guys seem to be doing something interesting. Can I join in?"

"Is it Mirokuji Yuya, the final boss of the manga 'Closed Zone Underground-Dark Night-'?"
