Infinite Chimera Creation

Le Hei's smile faltered for a moment, a hint of sadness appearing on his face, but he quickly regained his carefree demeanor.

"Look, I'm about to go to the world of the dead, aren't I? The world of the dead is great, all the little lolis have an eternal shelf life, unlike you, who makes me worry that you'll expire and turn into some kind of evil being like an older sister."

The girl clenched her fists excitedly, wanting to tell him not to force a smile, not to worry about her feelings at a time like this. But Le Hei raised his hand and covered her mouth. Although Le Hei's body had become ethereal and he couldn't actually touch the girl, this gesture of covering her mouth clearly conveyed his intention, and the girl indeed shut her mouth. At this moment, the girl had no desire to resist Le Hei's intentions whatsoever.

"Besides, my dad seems to be some kind of important figure in New Hell. Maybe if I'm lucky, my soul will end up with him, and I'll become a happy rich kid, spending my days walking birds, playing with cats, and flirting with innocent little girls."

He stopped talking, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and suddenly broke into a wide, radiant smile.

"Most importantly, although I am going to die because of the Magic Reactor, I am also protecting you because of the Magic Reactor, and you can continue to enjoy your young life."

Slowly lowering his head, Lehei pressed his forehead against the girl's. Although they couldn't actually touch each other, they both felt each other's warmth once again.

With her eyes gently closed, Lehei slowly uttered soft, dreamlike sounds.

"I know how painful it is for you to lose me again after losing your best friend and relying on me as your only support. But I want you to live, no matter how painful it is. Because as long as you are alive, there is still hope."

"Little one, the way you are bathed in blood really touches my heart. From the first moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you and fell completely in love with you."

With a remark that sounded both nostalgic and wistful, Lehei's figure vanished completely.

The girl, tears streaming down her face, watched helplessly as the person who had saved her like a ray of light when she was in the depths of hell disappeared before her eyes, covering her mouth and letting out a helpless cry.

"Warning! Warning! Observation target carrier number four confirmed dead! Observation target carrier number four confirmed dead!"

The piercing alarm blared throughout the hellish research institute, repeating itself over and over again, as if mourning a lost life, or perhaps just a meaningless mechanical repetition.

Meanwhile, Szayelaporro's expression grew increasingly grim with each alarm. On the monitor, he clearly watched as Lehei turned into specks of light and vanished, watched the girl cry on the empty ground, and watched Lehei disappear completely, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment, Szayelaporro's adjutant, trembling, handed over the report on the surveillance footage. Almost snatching it from Szayelaporro, he began to read it. He carefully read through the report, not daring to miss a single word, and his expression grew even more bitter.

"...Sir, no Magic Furnace was detected at the scene. According to analysis, there is a 97% chance that it is completely damaged. Moreover, the Chain of Blame, which is responsible for guiding Le Hei's soul, has also malfunctioned. The soul of the fourth vessel has not returned to Hell, and it is speculated that it may have been devoured by the Magic Furnace."

Although Szayelaporro was unwilling to believe it, it seemed that the man who never made a mistake... had made one. The magical reactor that the man had promised would never be damaged had vanished completely, leaving not even a trace behind.

“You’re too impatient, Sal. Put down that useless report and observe with your own eyes.”

Although Szayelaporro's voice was bitter, Yuan Yuan's voice remained cold, and his expression did not change at all. He casually opened a one-way white slit showing the crying girl and gestured for Szayelaporro to watch.

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Szayelaporro's eyes lit up with hope once more. He casually tossed aside the report that Yuan Yuan had deemed useless and nervously looked at the white gap in front of him.

Szayelaporro was unwilling to admit that even a god-like man, whom he regarded as a spiritual believer, could make mistakes.

The forest scene was still visible through the white gaps, and the girl was still crying. Everything seemed unchanged, but Szayelaporro keenly sensed something was wrong. The blue light spots that had been overflowing from Lehei's body seemed to have a consciousness of their own, and they quickly coalesced, vaguely forming a human shape.

"The Magic Furnace has basic intelligence. After realizing its own defects, its basic function is to improve itself and the Magic Furnace of its host. Naturally, it increases the absorption of surrounding energy so that it can use this energy to improve itself and eliminate the defects that cannot be shut down. However, Le Hei, as the carrier, is not strong enough. This repair process was only halfway through when he was in mortal danger."

Seeing that Szayelaporro had already noticed something was wrong, Yuan Yuan began to explain.

"To this end, the Magic Furnace actively absorbed Le Hei's soul, then decomposed Le Hei's body. Without the constraints of a host body, it quickly absorbed a large amount of energy, completed the defect repair in one fell swoop, and then reshaped Le Hei's body. This is also the reason why the Chain of Blame did not move, because Le Hei never died in the beginning. The Chain of Blame, which is only activated when the bound person dies, naturally will not attract Le Hei's soul."

As Yuan Yuan spoke, Le Hei had already completed his physical reconstruction and appeared naked in front of the girl. Both of them stared blankly at each other, motionless.

Touching his beardless chin, Yuan Yuan's face broke into a mocking smile.

[This brat, he was supposed to be the first of my kids to date, which really excited me. But he's been so hesitant, afraid that the girl might accept his confession out of gratitude rather than love, so he's been avoiding me. It's driving me crazy! Well, now I'll see how he tries to run away.]

"Honestly, they insisted that I take action myself."

With a mocking smile, Yuan Yuan turned and walked out of the laboratory.

P.S., I originally planned to continue updating even during exams, but my recent grades have been really disheartening. So, I'm taking time off to study for exams, and updates will resume on the 14th or 15th. Also, I'll post another separate chapter announcing my leave in case anyone misses this P.S.

Chapter Seventy-One: Warmth (Just kidding)

The boy, who thought he was going to die, finally let go of all his worries at the last moment and confessed his love to the girl he loved.

The girl, who also didn't know the truth, finally broke through the mental barrier of self-blame and regret under immense sorrow. She abandoned her long-standing cowardice, faced her own feelings, realized her love for the boy, and boldly confessed it.

In the end, the boy who thought he was going to die survived. The crisis of death was just a nightmarish illusion, but the feelings they expressed to each other will not disappear like a nightmare.

Thus, the young man and woman, having realized their feelings for each other, finally lived happily ever after in a warm atmosphere. Congratulations!

With a furrowed brow, Hongxing glanced at the white gap in front of her, then at Yuan Yuan's satisfied and admiring expression. She couldn't help but point at the scene within the gap, then covered her face with one hand and let out a weak groan.

"You call this cozy?"

Across the white gap, the seemingly cowardly girl wore a dark, sinister smile as she relentlessly swung her crimson blade, slashing mercilessly at the boy while letting out a deranged laugh.

"Hehe, why are you hiding, Brother Lehei? Didn't you dislike me because I'll grow up and prefer those girls in hell who never grow up? Right now, I'm helping Brother Lehei fulfill his wish and helping him go to hell."

"Haha, hahaha, Brother Lehei, hurry up and give up your defenses and let me chop you up! Once Brother Lehei goes to hell, you can tease little girls every day. What a wonderful life! Why refuse?"

Faced with the girl who was clearly emotionally unstable, Le Hei smiled bitterly, trying to explain himself while dodging her attacks. When he couldn't dodge any longer, he deliberately withdrew his defenses, letting the girl leave a deep wound on him, afraid that the backlash from his defenses would hurt her.

Watching his son being brutally abused by his chosen daughter-in-law, yet daring not to resist in the slightest, Yuan Yuan's expression of admiration remained unchanged, and a hint of pleasure even appeared in his eyes.

"That girl is just too shy, that's why she's like that. By the way, isn't there a cute attribute called 'tsundere' these days? This kid is clearly like that, only her way of expressing it is a bit more intense, reaching the level of 'domineering,' but overall she's still very cute. Look, isn't Lehei quite satisfied?"

Hongxing glanced at Yuan Yuan suspiciously, then turned to look closely at Le Hei, who was smiling wryly. To her surprise, she saw a look of ecstasy in the eyes of this boy who claimed to love bloody lolis. Her eyebrows twitched even more intensely.

"So, Hongxing, you're still too green. At times like this, you should ignore the superficial things you see with your eyes and instead use your heart to feel the warmth that permeates between those two children."

"Really?"

Hongxing stared at Yuan Yuan suspiciously, her face full of distrust. Yuan Yuan's smile faded, and he looked at Hongxing calmly, speaking softly.

"Of course it's fake. I just think this kind of drama would be very interesting and would give me a long-lost sense of pleasure."

Helplessly covering his face, Hongxing waved his hand weakly.

"It's incredibly naive of me to believe you're normal just because you haven't exhibited any psychotic sense of pleasure for centuries."

Hongxing rubbed her face hard, then looked up at Yuan Yuan again.

"Then, shouldn't you explain this to me? Didn't you say you were going to conduct experiments on that kid Lehei? To stop your experiments as quickly as possible, I endured the excruciating pain that felt like my bone marrow was being extracted and quickly installed the magic reactor. And this is the 'heartwarming' scene you show me?"

"Aren't you happy that those children are safe?"

Tilting his head slightly, Yuan Yuan leaned back in the stone chair and asked calmly.

"No, I'm definitely happy, but, how should I put it,"

Hongxing scratched his face, his expression somewhat conflicted.

"Look, didn't I endure that terrifying pain to stop your experiment? But when I came out, I found out you hadn't even started the experiment. Doesn't that make me look like a fool?"

"I don't deny that you're a fool."

A playful smile curved his lips as Yuan Yuan spoke softly.

"But who said that Lehei's experiment didn't start? The experiment is already over."

Hongxing paused in his scratching motion, and after a long while, he finally reacted and asked, still somewhat dazed,

"You mean, what I just saw was Lehei's experiment? Shouldn't your experiments be the kind that are extremely dangerous and cause people to die at the drop of a hat?"

With a loud sneer, Yuan Yuan curled his lip, seemingly too lazy to discuss an idiot's question with an idiot, and did not answer Hong Xing's question.

Because of the undisguised disdain in Yuan Yuan's laughter, the veins on Hong Xing's forehead throbbed violently, and he wanted to beat Yuan Yuan up. But he quickly suppressed this unrealistic thought. After taking a few deep breaths to soften his tone, Hong Xing slowly spoke...

"I have no problem with Lehei's matter this time, but how do you explain Minghui's matter? Don't think I can't see it. If it weren't for Bailan's guidance later, that girl who activated the despair within her would definitely have self-destructed."

Yuan Yuan frowned impatiently, his voice turning icy.

"Of all the children, only the one burdened with despair is unstable. When despair erupts, she is very likely to choose self-destruction. And the eruption of despair is unavoidable and inevitable. Since it is unavoidable, rather than letting it erupt in some uncertain and unsafe environment in the future, it is better to let it erupt in an absolutely safe environment that I have arranged, so that we can get through this crisis."

Frowning, Yuan Yuan quickly explained Hongxing's question, then waved his hand.

"Alright, whatever questions you have, just swallow them. I have no interest in answering them one by one. Now, get out of here and go to the lower realm. I'm installing a magic furnace on you, not to dissolve your brains and turn you into a complete idiot who can't say anything except 'why'."

As Yuan Yuan waved his hand, a white gap appeared out of thin air behind Hong Xing and swallowed him up.

Hongxing was so angry that his face contorted as Yuan Yuan tossed him into the White Gap like trash, but he was powerless to resist the terrifying force that pressed him into the White Gap.

As the white gap that swallowed the red star disappeared, the impatient expression on Yuan Yuan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a calm smile of complete control.

"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, daydreamer."

In the empty hall, Yuan Yuan seemed to speak softly to himself. Meanwhile, Kong Xiang, who was investigating the Fox King incident in the world below and hadn't returned to Hell, seemed to hear him. Looking up at the sky, this man born burdened with immense evil revealed a gentle, saintly smile.

"Ah, leave it to me. I'll bring out all the emotions in his heart."

P.S., I'm back! I have a 25-hour train ride today, so there will only be one update. I'll start making up for the missed updates from when I took leave tomorrow. Hehe, now that I'm on vacation, I'm sure I can go all out with updates!

Chapter Seventy-Two Lies

"Aaaaaah!!! You damn Yuan Yuan, one day I'll beat you up!! Just you wait, I'll rub your face on the ground like crazy!!"

Having landed safely on his face, Red Star stood in the enormous crater, angrily waving his fists and roaring at the empty sky.

"A high-speed dive from 800 meters in the air, a face-friction deceleration landing—didn't that shock wake you from your unrealistic fantasies? It seems I should reassess the thickness of your skin, Red Star."

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out behind the roaring Red Star, though the content of the voice was anything but gentle.

Red Star's pupils shrank instantly as he was swinging his fist. Without the slightest hesitation, his fist, which was originally aimed at the sky, changed trajectory and slammed behind him through his armpit.

A dull thud of flesh colliding rang out, and the powerful collision of spiritual energy stirred up gusts of wind, swirling up the rock remnants beneath Red Star's feet, which had been completely turned into fine sand due to his unique landing method.

Red Star turned around with a displeased expression, and sure enough, he saw the guy he had guessed behind him. Raising his eyebrows, Red Star stared intently at the person behind him who looked exactly like him, and let out a loud click of his tongue.

"Tsk, as expected, you're the only one whose way of speaking is even more annoying than Yuan Yuan."

With a gentle smile on his face, Kongxiang seemed oblivious to the dissatisfaction in Hongxing's words, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this useless stuff. Just tell me what you want from me. Don't tell me you came here just to mock me."

Red Star clenched his fist in annoyance, a dangerous smile spreading across his face.

“If you really came here just to mock me, then I will have to suppress the pain of killing my brother and kill you, you scum who shared the love those children gave to Uncle with me, and resurrect you from Yuan Yuan’s body once again.”

Faced with Red Star's undisguised dissatisfaction and provocation, Kong Xiang remained silent, simply maintaining his gentle smile and staring straight at the other's face.

Staring at him like that, Hongxing's sinister smile began to falter.

"Hey, what exactly are you trying to do? Staring at people without saying a word, let me tell you, if you keep this up, I'm really going to treat you like a dangerous gay guy who likes to have sex, and give you a good beating!"

Seeing Hongxing's reaction, Kongxiang suddenly sighed deeply, and said with a hint of disappointment,

"Although I had expected your intelligence level, seeing you so dull-witted, like someone with an intellectual disability, completely oblivious, still fills me with disappointment."

"Hey, you, you mocked my intelligence twice in one sentence just now, do you want to fight?"
