Infinite Chimera Creation

These individuals were all exceptionally intelligent; within a few words, they regained their composure. After exchanging glances, the female elf spoke first.

"Hello, Ms. Yakumo Yukari, I'm Blanche. You said we made a wrong inference. Could you tell me where we went wrong?"

After asking the question, Blanche stopped talking and looked at Yakumo Yukari with a tense expression. At the same time, she secretly activated the magic power in her body. After all, no one knew what kind of personality Yakumo Yukari had, or whether she would get angry and launch an attack because of a small question.

Dumbledore and Voldemort were also on high alert. If Yukari Yakumo showed any intention to attack, they would fight back with all their might, even if they knew they were no match for her.

"Of course, that's exactly why we came out to see you."

To their slight relief, Yakumo Yukari didn't show any negative emotions because of Blanche's question. She maintained her mysterious and alluring smile as she softly explained to them.

Then, Yukari Yakumo quickly explained to the three of them the theory she had previously explained to Yuan Yuan: "Because a certain creature is too powerful, the world begins to be wary of him, fear him, and takes action to erase any trace of his existence. Even all life and objects connected to him will be rejected by the world and eventually disappear."

After hearing what Yukari Yakumo said, the three looked at each other, feeling as if they were listening to a fairy tale.

“We understand what you’re saying. You mean that our current situation is caused by the appearance of some [too powerful] being, and that this being is not among the three of us…”

At this point, Voldemort suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Blanche in disbelief.

Seeing Voldemort's actions, Dumbledore also realized what was happening. The three of them were the most powerful beings in this world, but during their discussion, they only attributed the anomaly to him and Voldemort, excluding Blanche. And when Yukari Yakumo appeared, she immediately stated that their deduction was wrong. Combining this with what Yukari Yakumo had just said…

"Could it be that Blanche is the one you were referring to as 'too powerful'?"

Swallowing hard, Dumbledore looked at Yakumo Yukari in disbelief and asked in a dry voice. Voldemort, standing to the side, also watched Yakumo Yukari nervously, waiting for her to give a judgment-like answer.

It's important to understand that Dumbledore and Voldemort have always considered themselves the strongest beings in the world. Although Blanche, through the life modification technology she learned from Stuart and which she innovated upon to create her own unique style, has maximized her abilities and gained the right to converse with the two on equal footing, they have never truly regarded her as an opponent. Their opponents have always been those who wield authority.

Even after Franky later rebuilt a group of elves, reclaimed the Elven Kingdom from Voldemort, and rebuilt the Elven court, their attitude remained unchanged; they were still self-important and arrogant. But now, suddenly realizing that Blanche might have already surpassed them, even to the point where the world had to be on guard, they naturally felt a sense of defeat.

Blanche, who had been labeled "too powerful" by the two, became nervous. She knew her own limitations; she was at most on par with Voldemort, not some kind of powerful figure who could warrant the world's suspicion. However, judging from Voldemort and Blanche's current behavior, even if she explained, they wouldn't believe her. Therefore, Blanche could only turn to Yakumo Yukari for help.

Yukari Yakumo shook her head with amusement, denying their guesses.

"This young lady is not bad, but she is still far from the level I am talking about. I am talking about Brother Yuan Yuan, who once lived in this world and had a deep relationship with you."

After hearing Yakumo Yukari's explanation, the three of them first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became puzzled again.

“Yuan Yuan? He has a deep connection with us? But we don’t know anyone named Yuan Yuan.”

Yukari Yakumo wasn't surprised. She shook her folding fan, conjuring Yuan Yuan's cold, aloof image in the air with magical energy, and said with a light laugh,

"I'm afraid the young man used a pseudonym when he was with you. Here's what he looks like. Now you should know who he is."

After carefully observing the figure in the air, the three of them uttered words of confusion once again.

"We don't know this person either."

Chapter Sixty: Voldemort's Eternal Pain

"We don't know this person either."

Seeing the genuine confusion on the three people's faces, Yukari Yakumo was truly surprised this time. Judging from Yuan Yuan's aura, his body as a giant serpent of the mortal world was indeed obtained from this world, and these people were indeed rejected by the world because they had traces of contact with Yuan Yuan. However, it was strange that they did not recognize Yuan Yuan.

Did he erase these people's memories before leaving this world? Or was it that not only their names, but even their appearances were fake? Would someone as arrogant as Yuan Yuan be this cautious?

Yukari Yakumo secretly wondered, but she found that she could never imagine that the arrogant Yuan Yuan would be so careful to erase her past traces, for fear that others would find out her background and seize her weaknesses.

Yukari Yakumo, of course, had no idea that Yuan Yuan had been reincarnated into this world as a soul, and that his appearance in this world was that of the native [Stuart], not his original appearance. After obtaining the body of the World Serpent, in order to obtain a soul matching the strength of his body, he went to the world of the Grim Reapers in his soul form. Only after his soul became strong enough did he resurrect in the body of the World Serpent and take human form. When he took human form, his appearance naturally changed according to his soul's appearance, that is, he restored his original appearance, not the appearance of Stuart. Therefore, the Yuan Yuan she saw was completely different from the Stuart that Voldemort and the others knew.

"and many more?"

Blanche suddenly exclaimed in confusion, then stared intently at the figure in the air, his expression growing increasingly strange.

"Although I don't recognize this face, this cold expression..."

Although Blanche didn't say the name she was thinking of, her prompting reminded the other two of someone they both knew well. Voldemort's expression immediately became interesting; he gritted his teeth and uttered the name.

"S, Tu, Ya, Te!"

Looking at Voldemort's contorted face, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but wonder what the young man had done back then to make this seemingly calm person so emotionally agitated at the mere mention of his name hundreds of years later. Seeing Blanche and the others' reactions, Yukari Yakumo naturally guessed that Stuart was Yuan Yuan.

It's no wonder Voldemort harbors such resentment towards Yuan Yuan. It was because of a single sentence Yuan Yuan uttered back then that those monkeys who caused him immense psychological trauma in his youth developed such insane ideas, forcing him to now accept the fact that most of his wives are actually his daughters—a fact that drives people crazy with envy.

Both Blanche and Dumbledore had witnessed the entire process of how Yuan Yuan tricked Voldemort. Seeing Voldemort's delightful reaction, they smiled knowingly, their expressions reminiscing about the good old days. This only fueled Voldemort's resentment, who knew exactly what they were laughing at, and even caused his snake scales to sprout.

Recalling the past is one thing, but after reminiscing, they had to start thinking about what Yukari Yakumo had said.

"To be on the safe side, let me ask you one more question: besides the name and appearance you've given, what other characteristics does this Mr. Yuan Yuan you mentioned have?"

Although the expression that proved his identity even more than his appearance had almost convinced the three that it was Stuart, Blanche still asked an additional question out of caution.

"This guy's true form is a modified mortal python."

Alright, it's confirmed that it's indeed Stuart. The three of them knew that Yuan Yuan had also been reincarnated as a World Serpent. After Yuan Yuan disappeared, they even thought he had died due to a failed reincarnation. While it's possible for two World Serpents to appear simultaneously, a modified World Serpent is different. In their view, the only person who could successfully modify a World Serpent, let alone someone as astonishing as Stuart, was Stuart himself.

Having confirmed that Yuan Yuan, mentioned by Yukari Yakumo, was indeed Stuart, the three of them couldn't help but start considering the next question.

[Has Yuan Yuan, who was powerful back then but not far behind them, now left them far behind?]

Seemingly knowing what they were thinking, Yukari Yakumo shook her head and smiled.

"Although you may not be able to accept it, I still have to tell you that you are not just being left behind by the young man, but that there is no comparison between you anymore."

After you've finally achieved some small success and been feeling smug about it for a long time, someone suddenly appears and tells you that your friend, who used to struggle just like you, is now the world's richest person, and that there's absolutely no comparison between you. No one could accept that.

The three of them wore their emotions on their faces, though not obviously, Yakumo Yukari still noticed. She smiled helplessly and continued explaining.

"It's just that a world whose world consciousness hasn't awakened and can only rely on instinct to reject you, yet you're already helpless and have no choice but to gather together to discuss solutions. But do you know what level Brother Yuan Yuan has reached now? He can now threaten the world consciousness single-handedly, forcing it to submit and cooperate with his experiments."

Amidst the increasingly grim expressions of the three, Yukari Yakumo made her conclusion.

"There's a huge gap between you two."

All three were proud and arrogant. One had been Yuan Yuan's principal, another had been addressed as "Sir" by Yuan Yuan, and the third, though once Yuan Yuan's assistant, had now become the Elf Queen. Each had their own pride, and hearing such an impolite evaluation, their expressions naturally turned sour.

Fortunately, Blanche was often busy conducting experiments and was more composed than the other two, so she quickly regained her composure and asked Yakumo Yukari,

"May I ask, what exactly is your purpose in coming here? It can't really be just to point out our mistakes and, incidentally, let us understand the gap between ourselves and Stuart, can it?"

After Blanche's words, Voldemort, though still unable to accept the truth, forced himself to calm down and waited for Yakumo Yukari's reply.

Yukari Yakumo's smile grew even brighter. She gently opened her folding fan, partially obscuring the lower half of her face, and extended an invitation to the three of them to become administrators of Gensokyo.

"As the creator and administrator of Gensokyo, I, Yakumo Yukari, invite you all to join Gensokyo."

[If Yuan Yuan cares about these people, he will definitely pay more attention to things in Gensokyo after they go there. Even if Yuan Yuan doesn't care about them, it doesn't matter. With their strength that's only good for fertilizing plants, they won't cause any trouble in Gensokyo.]

Silently calculating in her heart, Yakumo Yukari's smile behind her folding fan became even brighter.

Chapter Sixty-One Three Days

"Last night, another major murder case occurred in Tokyo's 32 wards, with 14 people brutally killed. The victims' conditions were appalling. According to statistics, the victims included teachers, students, car mechanics, cleaners, and other people from various professions, with no common ground between them. Experts analyzed that the perpetrator was likely a pleasure criminal who did not have a clear target and acted randomly."

In the news report, a female reporter with short, neat hair is broadcasting the latest news live. Behind her is a large area of ​​blood-red pixelation. It's clear the reporter's face is deathly pale, seemingly horrified by the "horrific state of the victim" she describes.

Suddenly, a woman with flushed cheeks, bloodshot eyes, rapid breathing, and clearly unstable emotions rushed into the screen, snatched the microphone from the reporter's hand, and started yelling at the screen.

"It was the Cursed Children! It must have been them! Who else but those monsters has the strength to tear a person to pieces?! The police should arrest those monsters now, no! They should kill them immediately!!"

The female reporter quickly grabbed the microphone back, and at the same time, two men ran out from the side and dragged the agitated woman out of the frame. However, the crowd outside the frame was clearly agitated, and they could be clearly heard shouting slogans such as "Kill all those monsters!"

The female reporter, with an awkward smile, spoke rapidly.

"Now let's hear what the experts have to say about this major serial murder case."

Then, the screen switched to a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a serious expression, who gave off the air of a highly educated intellectual. He looked at the camera as if he could see the audience outside the screen, and began to speak calmly and slowly.

But Hongye, sitting in front of the screen, could no longer hear what the highly educated man was saying. Sitting on the sofa facing the television, Hongye's face was filled with disbelief, her eyes glazed over, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

Meanwhile, the broadcast of this major serial murder case was nearing its end. The female reporter, still pale-faced, gave her final summary on screen with a formulaic smile.

"The suspect in this case has been preliminarily identified as a Child of the Curse. The police will soon completely seal off and investigate the residences of all Children of the Curse. If the murderer cannot be found within three days, officials at all levels will jointly report to His Majesty the Emperor, requesting that all Children of the Curse, except those with police officers as guarantors, be expelled from the Tokyo Ward to ensure the safety of the residents of Tokyo Ward."

A bolt of azure electricity shot out from Hongye's hand, striking the television set hard and instantly shattering it into a pile of charred, unrecognizable objects.

"What a joke!!!"

An electric current surged through her body due to her loss of emotional control. Her long hair, which reached her waist, floated up strand by strand under the influence of the current. Hongye clenched her fists angrily, glaring furiously at the clump of garbage that was still emitting black smoke, her eyes bloodshot.

"Aren't we residents of the Tokyo area?! We risked our lives to protect this place, but our kind aren't even allowed to live here?! We've been labeled suspects without any investigation?! Just because we're labeled suspects, they shut down the investigation?! And now they're driving us out of our settlement without any results?! Are they expecting us to live in Gastrea nests?!?"

Angry questions poured out of Hongye's mouth, but they had no real effect. Those high-ranking officials who had never regarded the Cursed Child as a human being simply ignored her questions and would not change their policies.

Behind Momiji, Aihara Enju lowered her head in disappointment, biting her lip and remaining silent, but her eyes turned red, clearly on the verge of tears.

"Calmness may not be an essential quality for a soldier, but it is definitely an essential quality for a leader. Ogiwara Momiji, I'll give you three minutes to calm down."

Before anyone knew it, Yuan Yuan had appeared in the living room. Looking at Hongye, who was frantically emitting electricity and turning a lot of furniture into charcoal, he frowned and spoke in an extremely cold voice.

Whether it was due to some technique Yuan Yuan used in his voice, or because Yuan Yuan was too special to Hongye, upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Hongye immediately closed her eyes, quickly withdrew all the electric current from her body, and turned to bow deeply to Yuan Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yuan Yuan, I've disappointed you."

“You have indeed disappointed me. I thought that after this period of learning, you would be able to handle this situation better. However, the fact that you feel angry about this shows that you have the sense of responsibility you should have.”

Yuan Yuan nodded, his face showing little reprimand, only calm and coldness.

"However, a sense of responsibility alone is useless if you can't actually solve the problem. You've seen the news; in three days, your compatriots will be driven out of their settlements, driven out of the monolith, and faced with swarms of Gastrea. Don't even mention that they haven't had any combat training; even professional combatants like you will surely be worn down and killed. So..."

Yuan Yuan stared intently at Hongye, his eyes icy and piercing.

"You have only three days to resolve this matter. If you fail, you will die in the great forest outside, along with those cursed children."

After saying that, Yuan Yuan didn't linger any longer, turned around and left the living room, leaving behind only a cold, emotionless remark.

"This is your first test as my disciple, so I will lower the difficulty for you. During these three days, I will allow you to use my name to seek help from anyone you wish in the Tokyo area."

Yuan Yuan had already left, leaving only a three-day deadline, but Hongye didn't act immediately. She remained standing there, head bowed, expression somber, and silent. Lan Yuan Yanzhu stood behind her, looking at Hongye with concern, wanting to encourage and comfort her, but found her limited vocabulary inadequate for such a task, and could only remain silent with Hongye.

Just as the two were in silence, footsteps came from the stairs. Rentaro Satomi, scratching his head awkwardly, slowly walked down.

"Haha, I wasn't eavesdropping. I just heard Hongye's roar and wanted to come down to see what happened, and that's when I saw what just happened."

Momiji shook her head, not blaming Rentaro. She had no intention of dwelling on such a trivial matter.

"Well, although my combat power is basically all gone now, I can still help you come up with some ideas if you need help."

Although Rentaro's smile was still somewhat awkward, it now held a unique warmth. Gazing at Momiji, his face was full of sincerity, and his words were firm and resolute.

"So, if there's anything I can do to help, please be sure to call me!"
