Infinite Chimera Creation

Muttering to himself, Yuan Yuan casually pulled open a slit in the wall, and a disheveled man with pale iron chains binding his wrists and ankles stepped out. Judging from his sinister expression and fierce eyes, he was clearly different from the other sinners who had been driven mad by the torment of the guardians of hell; he still possessed the ability to think. Moreover, the hatred and greed emanating from him were clearly not positive emotions that sustained his rationality.

Pointing to the culprit beside him, Yuan Yuan beckoned to Rumia.

"I heard you're quite hungry, so I came to see if this can satisfy your appetite. Don't frown, don't worry, I won't let you eat this kind of thing, I'm just collecting some data."

Rumia frowned as she looked at the vengeful spirit, which clearly had a human-like appearance. She was surprised to find that despite being called "Thing," it showed no anger whatsoever. After a moment's hesitation, Rumia got up and walked towards the vengeful spirit. Based on Yuan Yuan's words, she could roughly guess that this cold-faced young man wanted to help her solve the problem of cannibalism.

Although Rumia had made up her mind that she would rather starve than eat people, she would still unconsciously reach out and try to grasp that ray of light when she saw it, because she couldn't bear to part with the mother and daughter, and couldn't bear to part with the warmth she had received from them.

Wrinkling her nose and sniffing, Rumia looked at Yuan Yuan with a complicated expression and said softly,

"The darkness in his mind is more integrated with his body than that in humans. Although I can eat the darkness in him, if I eat him, it would be no different from eating a human."

"You don't need to say so much, just tell me if it's edible."

Yuan Yuan opened the white gap and threw the scapegoat inside, then pulled out a wolf-shaped mid-level Void Spirit from within.

"Try this."

"This shouldn't be eaten, right? What I want to eat is the darkness in the heart of [human beings], and this is... a wolf..."

Rumia muttered to herself, hesitantly sniffing the scent emanating from the Hollow. The moment the Hollow's scent reached Rumia's nose, the man-eating monster's eyes widened in surprise.

"What, what's going on? It's clearly a wolf, but it tastes just like a human. And this strong smell of greed and despair... if I eat it, I won't feel hungry for a month."

By the end, Lumia's eyes were gleaming with a hungry green light. If she weren't still wary of Yuan Yuan, she probably would have pounced on him and devoured him.

A look of surprise flashed in Yukari Yakumo's eyes. Although she had great confidence in Yuan Yuan, she still didn't expect him to find a substitute food so quickly.

But things can't be that simple.

Chapter 89 White Delusion

"Although I understand you're really hungry, I still don't recommend you eat this. After all, I don't want you to hate me afterwards and think I deceived you."

Even Yakumo Yukari's hopeful gaze couldn't stop Yuan Yuan from uttering cold words.

Hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Lumia seemed to wake abruptly from a nightmare. A large patch of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, the beads attracting each other and eventually forming tiny streams that slowly trickled down her face. Struggling to tear her gaze away from the delicious food, Lumia, understanding something from Yuan Yuan's words, asked with a bitter expression,

"Could it be that this is..."

Yuan Yuan nodded, his expression remaining cold, and gave his answer without wavering.

"That's right. Although this thing has nothing to do with humans in terms of appearance or aura, it is in fact a corrupted human soul."

"I knew it, I knew it would be like this."

In an instant, the cannibalistic demon woman seemed to have all her strength drained from her body. She swayed unsteadily, as if she would collapse to the ground at any moment, and a faint glimmer of despair even appeared in her eyes. Yakumo Yukari's expression also turned grim.

Yuan Yuan glanced at Rumia, his eyebrows twitching slightly. He suppressed the urge to punch the idiot and knock her down completely, and said coldly,

"You know? I don't even know the outcome yet, and you already know? You know nothing!"

Whether it was the dejected Yukari Yakumo or the slightly desperate Rumia, they both stared at Yuan Yuan with surprise, as if they didn't recognize him. Although the two of them had only spent less than half a day with Yuan Yuan in total, their brief experience told them that this young man, who always seemed to have a cold face, was not the type to swear. Compared to verbal violence, he clearly preferred to express violence through physical contact and physical pain.

This sudden verbal abuse shocked the two girls, whose ages were unknown.

Staring coldly at the two, clearly not understanding their current emotions, Yuan Yuan continued,

"I've emphasized this so many times, we're just collecting data right now. And you, who's clearly not very well-endowed but has absolutely no brains, are acting like some kind of tragic hero, saying you know everything. Are you so eager to deny my abilities and anger me?"

Rumia was stunned for a moment before she realized the reason for Yuan Yuan's anger and hurriedly tried to explain. However, Yuan Yuan abruptly waved his hand, interrupting her before she could speak.

"There's no need to say anything more. It's no use whether you speak or that monster sage speaks now."

Hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Rumia couldn't help but feel anxious. Previously, due to intense hunger, Rumia's mind had been somewhat slow, and it wasn't until she saw Yuan Yuan's anger that she realized this cold-faced young man was clearly someone Zi Zhao had brought to help her solve the cannibalism problem.

Given Zi's wide circle of friends, the fact that she chose to seek out this young man, whose strength is not particularly outstanding, instead of so many formidable experts, clearly indicates that she has a certain degree of trust in his abilities.

Without realizing it, she had repeatedly questioned the young man's abilities. The thought that her last hope might slip away because of her unintentional actions filled Lumia with regret.

"Originally, I was planning to say that solving your problem would be a bonus in my deal with Yakumo Yukari, and I wouldn't ask for any payment. But now I've changed my mind. After solving your problem, I'm going to lock you in the lab, give you blood-replenishing drugs while drawing your blood. I won't let you go until I've drawn enough blood to fill a whole pool."

[What should I do? If he doesn't help me, am I really going to starve to death? I don't want to die, I want to see Reimu's smile again. Wait, didn't he just say he'd solve my problem?]

The cannibalistic girl, who was filled with inner turmoil and self-pity, suddenly looked up at Yuan Yuan in disbelief. However, what she saw was still that cold, expressionless face, and she couldn't tell whether he had said anything or not.

However, the foolish cannibal girl wouldn't give up. After scratching her head and racking her brains for a minute, she finally confirmed that she had just heard the words "solve your problem."

So the cannibalistic girl, who was already stupid and was now even more dizzy from hunger, with her intelligence continuously declining, didn't even think about what Yuan Yuan had said. Under the joy of getting her back, she nodded frantically and impatiently, afraid that Yuan Yuan would change his mind if she was too late.

The cannibal girl's obviously joyful and impatient expression made Yuan Yuan unconsciously raise an eyebrow. He secretly glanced at the idiot who was squatting in the corner sleeping, and couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered another guy with low IQ and unusual sexual interests.

Meanwhile, Yukari Yakumo, who was watching silently from the side, did not betray her principles. She stood in the corner and smiled mockingly, without reminding her best friend of the cruel truth that she had sold herself out.

After giving the cannibalistic girl a strange look, Yuan Yuan stopped considering whether this seemingly normal girl had any unknown hobbies and opened a white gap again. This time, what Yuan Yuan took out from the gap was not a living thing, but a ball of white, turbid liquid.

This time, it was Rumia and Yukari Yakumo's turn to have strange expressions. Looking at the white liquid that resembled some kind of life essence, the two of them began to silently wonder if they had underestimated the young man's monstrous nature.

Yuan Yuan glanced indifferently at the two of them, placed the liquid in his hand in front of Rumia, completely ignoring their increasingly strange gazes, and said coldly,

"As expected, if you live long enough, no matter how innocent a girl may look on the outside, you're actually a completely rotten old woman inside. I have to say, your delusional abilities are even stronger than that otaku doujinshi artist in Hope's Peak."

The two powerful demons, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, were both somewhat embarrassed. Even Yukari Yakumo, a seventeen-year-old girl who was extremely concerned about her age, had no intention of correcting her age at this moment.

After all, it's incredibly embarrassing to be caught in the act of indulging in erotic fantasies!

"Okay, let's try this one this time."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan exerted a little force with his fingers, as if piercing an invisible membrane. Instantly, the seemingly ordinary white liquid erupted with a shocking aura of greed and madness. The surging negative emotions even interfered with reality, stirring up a somewhat chaotic cold wind in the enclosed room, causing the monster girl's hair to flutter involuntarily.

Chapter Ninety: Rampage?

"Through the two tests just now, I have been able to roughly determine that what you need is the 'darkness in people's hearts,' which is actually all kinds of negative emotions. Coincidentally, I don't have many other things here, but I have many people whose power is based on negative emotions."

A slight smile played on Yuan Yuan's lips as he pointed to the white liquid and said softly,

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and try it!"

Rumia swallowed hard, gently dipped her finger in the white liquid, and looked tremblingly at Yuan Yuan, asking somewhat timidly, "..."

"This thing, could it really be... that thing?"

Seeing Rumia's expression as if she were about to bravely face her death, Yuan Yuan frowned slightly.

"I don't know what you mean by 'that thing,' but I can tell you for sure that it's called 'void fluid,' a byproduct of human souls when they fall into the void. It's a secretion similar to milk, so you can eat it without worry. After all, drinking milk and eating beef are two different things."

Hearing Yuan Yuan's explanation, Lumia visibly breathed a sigh of relief. After patting her somewhat humble chest, the cannibalistic girl gently licked the white liquid on her fingers. It was extremely sticky and could even form bone armor after drying. Naturally, a thin white line was drawn between the girl's small tongue and slender fingers.

The moment the liquid entered her mouth, the cannibalistic girl's face, which had been pale from hunger, instantly turned rosy. She stroked her face with one hand, then dipped the other into the white liquid. Her complexion flushed, and her breathing became heavy.

"Delicious, so delicious, how can it be so good? I want more, I want more."

Even Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but cover her face and show a disappointed expression after seeing her best friend's behavior.

Rumia is undoubtedly a beautiful girl who scores over 90 points. Even her casual remarks attract the attention of many men. Now, with white liquid at the corner of her mouth and her face flushed, she says, "I want more." Not to mention men, any normal person would probably want to keep watching, and might even be tempted to do something.

Unfortunately, the guy who always has a cold face and doesn't treat any woman other than his stupid wife as a woman is not a normal person.

Yuan Yuan condensed a small ball of spiritual energy at his fingertips, smiled coldly, and flicked it lightly. The death-type spiritual energy ball landed on Rumia's finger, which was covered in Hollow fluid, under his precise control. Instantly, the highly concentrated death-type spiritual energy clashed violently with the Hollow fluid from the Hollow's body. In the blink of an eye, both the spiritual energy ball and the Hollow fluid turned into the most basic spiritual particles and disappeared from Rumia's hand.

Instantly, the cannibal's eyes turned blood red, and a dark liquid gushed from her body like a tidal wave.

"I'll kill you!! Give you back to me!!"

Roaring, its hands transformed into jet-black claws, the monster's eyes gleaming with madness and greed, charged at Yuan Yuan, ready to tear this man who dared to destroy its food to pieces.

"The realm of movement and stillness".

With a slightly hurried sound, the man-eating monster, whose claws had already reached in front of Yuan Yuan, stopped eerily. The transition from extreme movement to extreme stillness was completed without any buffer, creating a visually nauseating shock.

Slowly retracting the folding fan that had been pointing at Rumia, Yakumo Yukari's face was unusually gloomy.

"What's going on? What happened to Rumia?"

Alongside Yukari Yakumo's voice, a bewildered voice rang out from a cannibalistic girl.

"What just happened to me? I... I feel like I'm out of control."

The darkness that had filled every corner of the room vanished, the bloodlust in her eyes faded, and the claw-like liquid returned to her white, slit hands. Rumia's eyes were filled with terror. Her first thought was that if she appeared before Reimu in that state, she would destroy her only salvation with her own hands. The mere thought of this possibility overwhelmed Rumia with intense fear, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Yuan finally refrained from speaking coldly this time. He tried to soften his voice before speaking again.

"Don't worry, what happened to you just now won't happen again. The reason you were out of control was partly because you were extremely hungry, and your body had become extremely weak, to the point that even your digestive ability was no longer fully developed. On the other hand, the 'void fluid' itself has the property of infecting all living things that come into contact with it. You feed on evil thoughts, and you only ate a little bit just now, so that 'void fluid' should have been completely digested by now and will no longer affect you."

After hearing Yuan Yuan's explanation, Lumia was slightly relieved. The look of fear on her face slowly faded, leaving only a lingering sense of unease.

Seeing that Rumia had returned to normal, Yuan Yuan's expression immediately turned cold again. He looked at Yakumo Yukari, making no attempt to hide the suspicion in his tone, and asked,

"I say, is Yukari Yakumo really a youkai who feeds on evil thoughts? How come such a little greed has affected her?"

Instantly, Rumia's face turned bright red, and she lowered her head. Yukari Yakumo, who had been worried about Rumia's earlier outburst, smiled helplessly upon seeing her reaction and began to explain...

"There's nothing we can do about it. Rumia only feeds on evil thoughts, but she's not immune to the effects of food on her. In the past, when Rumia ate ordinary people, she would go on a killing spree because of the hatred they felt when they died, let alone corrosive liquids."

Upon hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, Rumia's face turned even redder, and even her ears were tinged with a crimson hue.

With a cold snort, Yuan Yuan turned his gaze to Rumia. Feeling the coldness in Yuan Yuan's gaze, Rumia shivered and involuntarily moved away from Yuan Yuan.

Noticing Rumia's actions, Yuan Yuan's eyes grew even colder.

"Can't get immune? I think it's because they didn't care about human lives before, so they're too lazy to get her immune. Give her to me, feed her well every day, and if she goes berserk, hang her up and beat her. She'll be fine in three months at most."

Rumia's face turned deathly pale instantly. She looked pitifully at Yukari Yakumo, her eyes filled with pleading and despair. Rumia knew that although her best friend was sentimental, her sense of humor was too extreme. As long as it didn't endanger her life, she would never hesitate to trick her.

However, to Rumia's surprise, Yakumo Yukari, who always wore a mocking smile and watched others' mischief, didn't betray her with a wicked grin as Rumia expected. Instead, she chuckled twice and began to persuade Yuan Yuan.

"Hey bro, aren't you supposed to be helping us create native life forms for Gensokyo? Don't waste your time on this idiot. Besides, I believe you can definitely solve Rumia's food problem, so let's just forget about the training."

Originally, Yukari Yakumo intended to sell Rumia, but when she thought about how Rumia had already sold herself and was about to have Yuan Yuan drain a pool of blood from her, Yukari Yakumo's last bit of pity made her give up the idea of ​​kicking her while she was down.

P.S., some people might be confused about whether this Rumia is the same as the one from Gensokyo (⑩). The Rumia we're referring to is from *Touhou Yuureimu*. If you're interested, you can check it out on Bilibili; it's really amazing, though the ending is heartbreaking. Finally, please vote and give me a reward!!!

Chapter Ninety-One: A Life About to Pass Away

Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan stopped mentioning training Rumia and instead raised his hand, conjuring a pale ball of spiritual energy. The moment the ball appeared, both Yakumo Yukari and Rumia frowned.

"I really didn't expect you to have so many amazing things. Even I couldn't help but lose my composure when I saw these things. That arrogance, which comes from the outside world, seems to originate from the depths of my heart. Even if I notice it, I can't eliminate it; I can only suppress it."

Frowning, Yukari Yakumo stared warily at the orb of light in Yuan Yuan's hand, and said with slight dissatisfaction,
