Infinite Chimera Creation

"First of all, we don't want a peaceful and law-based world. People whose fighting spirit has been eroded by peace are almost useless when faced with the drastic changes caused by world-class experiments."

Secondly, it would be best if some kind of life form suddenly appeared in this world and caused disaster. In this way, the changes I caused during my experiments would be categorized as part of the original catastrophe, which would have a positive effect on my plans.

Third, a high-magic world is best. Although there are no specific strength requirements for creating life, a world with high enough energy is more likely to produce the mutations I want. Furthermore, life forms created in such a world will adapt more easily to the high-energy-density environment of Gensokyo in the future.

After some thought, Yuan Yuan swallowed the fourth, fifth, sixth, and many other conditions he hadn't yet mentioned. After all, he had already stated the most important condition; it wouldn't matter if the other minor conditions weren't met. Besides, if there were too many conditions, even a well-informed demon sage probably wouldn't be able to find a world that met the requirements.

P.S., please give me a reward, please vote for me, please recommend me. My grades are really terrible.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Choice

"Even we don't know many worlds that meet the conditions you described, bro."

After a moment of hesitation, Yakumo Yukari looked at Yuan Yuan with a somewhat troubled expression and said softly,

"Let me show you what I know about the world first. If you're satisfied, that's great. If not, we'll figure something out."

Yuan Yuan nodded calmly, agreeing to Yakumo Yukari's suggestion. After all, this experiment was for Yakumo Yukari's request, and Yuan Yuan didn't need to worry about this scheming youkai sage tricking him.

Seeing that Yuan Yuan did not object, Yakumo Yukari did not hesitate and directly opened a rift. Through the black crack covered with large, blood-red eyes, the people present saw the scenery of another world.

The world on the other side of the gap looked like the end of the world.

In the dilapidated city, rotting human figures slowly wander along the cracked streets, while various bizarre beasts lurk among the skyscrapers.

Only in what used to be remote suburbs were there scattered human settlements. Yet even far from the city, one could still see decaying human figures wandering around the settlements, only to have their heads silently removed by people whose bodies were completely covered.

"A virus called the zombie virus has broken out in this world. Both animals and plants are infected and their physical forms are forcibly altered. However, because the source of this infection is not mysterious, this change only lasts on the physical level and has no effect on the soul. Since the original soul cannot accurately control the mutated body, these monsters all seem a bit mentally challenged."

Having apparently gained a basic understanding of this world, Yukari Yakumo began to explain after opening the rift.

After observing carefully for a moment, and even reaching into that world through the gap, Yuan Yuan shook his head in slight disappointment.

"I could easily create a catastrophe of this magnitude, so it would be of almost no use to my experimental plan."

Despite being rejected by Yuan Yuan, Yakumo Yukari was not disappointed. After closing the first gap, she opened another one.

On the other side of this rift, the landscape remained a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with all sorts of bizarre monsters, large and small, roaming the wilderness. However, humanity's situation in this world seemed somewhat better than in the previous one; some large settlements still existed, and technological civilization appeared to have suffered relatively little damage.

Some of the humans in this world have also ventured out of their settlements to hunt monsters. Compared to the pathetic hunters of the previous world, who resembled stray dogs, the hunters of this world look much better. They wear cool uniforms that Yuan Yuan considers largely meaningless, and their expressions range from domineering and indifferent to disdainful. It seems as if the monsters, not the humans, are the ones cornered.

The weapons used by these human hunters also gave Yuan Yuan a very eerie feeling.

"The world has become like this entirely because humanity itself brought this upon itself, creating something it couldn't control—uh, it seems to be some kind of cell. This cell leaked out, resulting in a whole bunch of highly intelligent monsters, which the humans of this world call Aragami. They think they created gods—isn't that a ridiculous notion?"

This world was clearly not so familiar to Yukari Yakumo, and there were many things she wasn't sure about when she was being introduced to it.

Although in general, this world seems not much different from the previous one, still infested with monsters invading humans, except that the monsters have changed from zombies to Aragami.

However, the moment Yuan Yuan saw this world, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if the world had become distorted in some way. Moreover, the more carefully he observed this world, the more restless he felt, making him want to directly use his true form to completely destroy that world, along with all its inhabitants.

Sensing the strange, unfounded unease that had arisen within him, a cold glint flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes. His first thought was that Yakumo Yukari was plotting against him. However, seeing that Yakumo Yukari showed no sign of distress, Yuan Yuan frowned slightly, dismissing his suspicion. Without uttering a sound, Yuan Yuan directly connected to the numerous brains cultivated within the tenth layer of Hell. Relying on the immense computational power, he easily entered a state of absolute rationality, erasing the unease in his heart.

Entering a state of absolute rationality, Yuan Yuan became noticeably colder. Without saying a word, he directly reached his hand into the gap, and the instant he entered another world, he transformed into a giant python as large as a mountain range.

The giant python opened its massive jaws and bit down on a mountain-sized, lion-like wild god. Giving the creature no chance to resist, it dragged it back into the chasm, and then, in the instant it left the chasm, sent it into a laboratory at the bottom of hell, sealing it off tightly. Then, Yuan Yuan used the same trick again, smashing to death a black-haired, spiky-haired human hunter and taking the somewhat strange weapon from his hand.

"Let's look at the next world. This world gives me a very bad feeling. If I go to this world, let alone do experiments, I'm afraid I'll have to suppress my impulse to destroy the world. You're consuming all my energy."

Yukari Yakumo's eyes showed some surprise. She hadn't expected Yuan Yuan to harbor such strong aversion to an entire world. It's normal to feel aversion towards an individual life form; everyone has types they dislike. But to hate an entire world seems somewhat surreal.

Although she had doubts in her heart, seeing that something was clearly wrong with Yuan Yuan and that there was no emotion in his eyes, Yakumo Yukari did not voice her questions. Instead, she silently opened a new gap between them.

The world on the other side of this gap made a much better first impression than the previous two desolate worlds. Looking around, there was no smog in the sky, forests were everywhere, and the whole world was almost entirely green and blue.

Human settlements are scattered throughout this vast forest. Strangely, these settlements are not separated from the outside by city walls, but by towering, unconnected black stone tablets.

Besides human settlements, countless monsters lurk in the darkness of the vast, boundless forests.

Seeing those bizarre and diverse monsters, Yuan Yuan's eyes gleamed with interest.

Seeing Yuan Yuan's reaction, Yakumo Yukari did not show any relief at "finally finding a suitable world," but instead frowned slightly.

Chapter 100 Decision

Seeing Yukari Yakumo frown, Yuan Yuan became somewhat curious. He was currently searching for a suitable world to fulfill Yukari Yakumo's request. The sooner he found a suitable world, the sooner Yukari Yakumo could obtain what she wanted. However, Yukari Yakumo's current reaction was somewhat unusual.

"What, is there something wrong with this world? Tell me about it."

Yakumo Yukari frowned for only a few breaths before her expression of complete control returned.

"Instead of us talking, you should see for yourself, young man. After all, what you see with your own eyes is the most credible, right?"

"Just say you want to test me, don't give me this nonsense."

Yuan Yuan gave Yakumo Yukari a cold glance, but did not object to her suggestion, and reached his hand into the gap.

Upon first encountering the world on the other side of the gap, a look of surprise appeared on Yuan Yuan's face.

Yuan Yuan then realized that he had misjudged the situation. He had thought it was just an ordinary world where creatures had mutated on a large scale due to an accident, but it turned out to be something completely different.

【but……】

A cold laugh sneered inwardly, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of Yuan Yuan's lips.

"A bunch of old fogies who have been dead for who knows how long, yet they still dare to try to regain their lowly glory through such a ridiculous method."

Although Yuan Yuan had seen through her probing intentions, Yakumo Yukari showed no embarrassment and cheerfully continued Yuan Yuan's words.

"It's ridiculous, but when they're desperate, it's probably their only way out. However, the fact that this guy was able to spot something amiss so quickly means we need to reassess our opinion of him."

Although she had never underestimated Yuan Yuan, Yakumo Yukari never expected that Yuan Yuan would be able to perceive the differences in that world after only one encounter.

Just as Yuan Yuan said, "They are already dead." The reason why monsters are rampant in that world is the work of a group of beings who are unwilling to remain silent at the bottom of the river of time.

"If it takes me a long time to figure out such a clumsy method, I might as well find a place to bury myself and be done with it."

With a cold laugh, Yuan Yuan looked disdainfully at the world on the other side of the gap, as if watching a group of clowns desperately twisting and turning on a stage, just to make the audience laugh.

"As a being who once posed a threat to the entire world and was known as the 'Demon King,' 'Calamity,' and 'Root of Calamity,' after being killed by the 'Hero,' 'Savior,' 'Saint,' and 'Sage' chosen by the world, he was unwilling to simply vanish because of his resentment, so he left behind a means to return. That should be the story."

His hand, still lingering in that world, suddenly clenched, as if grasping something. Yuan Yuan continued speaking with a cold laugh.

"As for the means of returning, they were so crude that they weren't even good enough to make people laugh."

Because of their fear of the enemy, they hid their life information deep within the world, waiting to release it after the marks of heroes, legends, and legacies of heroes have all disappeared from the world.

Laughable cowardice.

Knowing the world wouldn't allow direct resurrection, he scattered his life information as he released it, invading various life forms. Then, relying on the devouring among the infected life forms, he ultimately recreated his original body, hoping to be resurrected.

A laughable concession.

"After all, their vision is limited to such a small world, so the only solutions they can come up with are limited to this level."

Yukari Yakumo smiled without offering any rebuttal, because in her view, those who tried to return were indeed laughable.

While beings that can still find a chance to return across thousands of years of history might seem extraordinary to ordinary beings, almost like legendary gods, they appear somewhat laughable to those like Yakumo Yukari and Yuan Yuan who have transcended the world.

Without offering further comment on those fools who dared to return, Yakumo Yukari watched Yuan Yuan, whose arm had transformed into a giant python, relentlessly devouring various monsters in the jungle of that world, and asked with some curiosity,

"Now that you know the state of the world, are you still not planning to give up on it? Won't those little guys who are trying to be resurrected interfere with your experiments?"

Yuan Yuan withdrew his arm from the gap and gave a cold smile.

“Give up? Of course not. The life information of most life forms in this world has become extremely unstable due to the impact of those few idiots’ life information fragments. With just a little induction, they can undergo serious mutations. For my experiment, this is a good sign.”

"Well, since you put it that way, let's keep this world as a candidate. Shall we continue to look at the next few worlds?"

Since Yuan Yuan said it wouldn't affect the experiment, Yakumo Yukari naturally had no objections. In any case, given the strength of that world, even if those dead Demon Kings were truly resurrected, they wouldn't be enough for Yuan Yuan to easily defeat. In that world, there was simply nothing that could threaten Yuan Yuan.

Since Yuan Yuan was out of danger, Yakumo Yukari was naturally relieved.

Yukari Yakumo's suggestion was reasonable, so Yuan Yuan naturally didn't object and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, let's look at other worlds. Maybe there will be a more suitable one."

Even though Yukari Yakumo said she didn't know many worlds that met the requirements, she still showed Yuan Yuan more than ten worlds in the following time.

Such as a bizarre world where humans suddenly turn into giants and eat nothing but humans; a strange world where eerie flowers specifically parasitize human women, controlling them to have sex with men, and then eating the men after successful conception; a stinking world where a peculiar virus is rampant, turning anyone infected, regardless of age, gender, height, or appearance, into a beautiful girl, except for one certain Japanese high school boy who is immune to the virus; a filthy world where a mad scientist develops monstrous tentacles that cause indiscriminate sex on anyone who encounters them, with men becoming new, incredibly ugly tentacle monsters after being touched by the tentacles, and women growing tentacles in certain parts of their bodies, becoming more and more like elves.

"I always feel that the world you show me, apart from the first few normal points, is becoming more and more spiritually polluting."

Recalling the image of a stunningly beautiful woman, like an elf, with tentacles of varying lengths, thicknesses, and micro-current vibrations growing from her crotch, and then having sex with another stunningly beautiful woman, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but rub his temples to suppress his headache.

Yukari Yakumo seemed a little embarrassed, but that expression only lasted for less than a second before disappearing.

"I won't delve into whether you were watching some bizarre live streams during your time alone at the Lost Home. Anyway, let's just leave the world as the one we talked about before."

Yuan Yuan lowered his hand from his temples, sighed in resignation, and said...

"I've never seen a novel or movie similar to this world before. Yukari Yakumo, do you know what this world is called?"

"Brother, you don't know? I happened to see a record of this world in another world. If I remember correctly, it should be called 'The Black Bullet' in this world."

Chapter One Arrives

"Is this another world? It's amazing! Although my physical body is still in the original world, as the world consciousness, I can actually enter other worlds. It's incredible! This feeling of freedom, this feeling of being unrestrained, is... irresistible!!"

Standing high in the sky, the stunningly beautiful woman spread her arms wide, her long black hair, three times her height, flying wildly behind her. Looking at Yuan Yuan beside her, whose face remained cold, Siji revealed a wanton and arrogant smile.

"Yuan Jun, is there anything you can't do?"

Yuan Yuan glanced calmly at the overly excited Siji, adjusted his black-and-white glasses, and said in a completely emotionless tone,

"There are many things I can't do. It's just that your vision is not broad enough, your thinking is too limited, and you can't think of many incredible things, so you think I'm omnipotent."

Although Yuan Yuan's tone remained cold, Siji's excitement was undiminished, and her face was still full of excited smiles.

After glancing at Shiki, Yuan Yuan ignored the overly excited fellow and began to carefully observe the world before him. Although he had already gained a preliminary understanding of this world through the gap in Yakumo Yukari's body, there were bound to be some oversights. Now that he had personally descended into this world, Yuan Yuan naturally wanted to observe it more carefully.

I wonder if Yakumo Yukari's gaps, like the camera functions of some smartphones, have a built-in image enhancement feature. When looking through the gaps, this forest-covered world gave Yuan Yuan the impression of a vibrant, lush green. But now that he's actually here, the omnipresent forests in this world not only fail to add any vitality but also make it lifeless and stagnant. Even the green of the trees is a dull, dark green.

"I knew it. How could a world where ancient species are about to be resurrected be full of life?"

With a disdainful shrug, Yuan Yuan showed no surprise at the sight before him.

Although retaining a human body, his eyes had transformed into dazzling golden snake eyes. Yuan Yuan stared intently at the world before him, peering through its surface to discern its hidden rules. Under the eyes of the Mortal Serpent, Yuan Yuan easily deciphered the surface rules of the world. As for the deeper rules, since they were too troublesome to read and there was no need to, Yuan Yuan did not attempt to interpret them.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Yuan had finished his initial deciphering of the surface rules of this world, and Siji's excitement had gradually faded. Only then did Yuan Yuan speak again.

"Now that we have successfully arrived in this world, do you want to travel around and experience it on your own, or do you want to come with me to find a human settlement to settle down in?"
