Infinite Chimera Creation

The trial was swift and meaningless, because everyone in the courtroom, except for the bystanders who had no say, possessed a Gastrea soul bound in chains. Rentaro Satomi's fate was decided long before it even began.

The stern-voiced judge completely ignored Rentaro's explanations and immediately found him guilty, declaring the evidence irrefutable and inviolable. Rentaro was then taken back to his cell to await his secret execution the following day.

In the cell, bound by chains, Rentaro could only lie on the cold ground. He felt utterly miserable. He couldn't understand why both Momiji and the judge treated him as a murderer and were so adamant, refusing to listen to his explanations.

Suddenly, a metallic clanging sound rang in Rentaro's ears, drawing his attention. He instinctively turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and then his pupils contracted sharply, causing him to cry out in surprise.

"Miss Kisara, what are you doing here!?"

The person crouching outside the cell, gently tapping the metal bars with his fingers, was none other than Kisara Tendo. Upon seeing that familiar figure, Rentaro was startled, but his restless heart unexpectedly calmed down, and he instinctively gave Kisara Tendo a warm smile.

Kisara Tendo knelt before Rentaro, watching him fall to the ground in a disheveled state, yet still offering him a warm smile. A pang of pain shot through Kisara's heart, but he showed no sign of it on his face, maintaining a calm expression, and asked...

"Rentaro, you should know why I'm dragging this broken body, unable to even survive without dialysis, just barely clinging to life."

Recalling the oath that Tendo Kisara had sworn like a demon, Rentaro's pupils shrank again, a sense of foreboding rising within him. He was about to speak to persuade him, but seeing the unwavering determination in Tendo Kisara's eyes, the words he was about to utter became weak and powerless.

"Ah, I know, it's to kill Tendo and Hikaru and the others, to avenge your parents."

P.S., thank you to [泠、] for the reward and monthly ticket, thank you to [墨神君], [颠扑不破是非倒悬], [无论什么弦的月], [书客大贤者], and [沉寂的风] for the monthly tickets, and thank you to [二书子] for the reward.

And!!! Is there really no one willing to give out even a few minor roles?!

Chapter Seventy-Six: Tendou Kisara

"Yes, for revenge."

Kisara Tendo reached his hand through the gap in the iron bars into the cell and gently stroked Rentaro's face, as if sighing over something.

"Tendo Kazuhiro, Tendo Hinata, Tendo Kikunojo, Tendo Gencho, Tendo Hirotoshi, I survived only to kill them. I survived this painful existence only to kill them. Everything I have is for the purpose of killing them."

Growing increasingly uneasy, Rentaro subconsciously raised his voice and said loudly,

"Miss Tendo Kisara, don't forget you also have the surname Tendo. They are all your family!!"

Kisara Tendo was unaffected by Rentaro; she continued to gently stroke his face and whisper softly.

"Yes, they are all my relatives, the relatives who killed my parents."

Looking at Kisara Tendo's calm, unchanging expression and listening to her indifferent, emotionless words, Rentaro felt a chill creep up his spine. Knowing Kisara's personality well, he knew that her current state meant she had completely made up her mind.

Although he knew it was almost impossible to change Tendogi's mind under such circumstances, Rentaro still refused to give up and shouted,

"No matter what the hatred, killing a loved one..."

"Alright, enough of this useless talk."

However, before Rentaro could finish speaking, Tendo Kisara interrupted him, his expression still calm, but his eyes revealing a hint of sadness, and he said softly,

"Since Rentaro knows that I live for revenge, you should also understand that if it's for revenge, I can give up anything. Whether it's the luxurious life of a young lady, my entire future, or even... you, whom I love so deeply, I can give up."

Rentaro's eyes widened instantly, staring at Tendo Kisara's face in disbelief, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word. Rentaro naturally liked Tendo Kisara, but for various reasons, he had never dared to confess. Now, suddenly hearing the words "deep love" from Tendo Kisara's lips, he was completely stunned.

In the past, seeing Rentaro's blank, fish-like expression, Tendo Kisara would have immediately pulled out her phone to take a picture and then mercilessly mock him. But now, she simply gave a calm smile and said...

"Don't doubt it, Rentaro didn't mishear me. I have always, always loved you deeply."

Rentaro's face visibly flushed red, then quickly turned pale. As he regained his senses, he remembered that Kisara Tendo had mentioned the word "abandon" in his earlier words.

“Yesterday, someone approached me and said they could help me achieve the revenge I wanted, and proved that they had such power, in exchange for myself. I couldn’t resist such a temptation and agreed on the spot.”

Gradually, a fanatical light appeared in Tendo Kisara's eyes, his voice became shrill, and his speech became faster and faster.

“Just now, I personally cut off the head of Tendo and Hikaru, my elder brother, and used his blood to wash away his sins.”

Seeing the fanaticism in Tendo Kisara's eyes and feeling her madness, Rentaro felt increasingly bitter. He knew that Tendo Kisara harbored hatred for the Tendo family, but he did not expect that this hatred would be so intense.

"After killing Tendo and Hikaru, that person gave me his first order: to come here and tell you about my feelings for you and the deal we made. I don't know what he meant by doing this; maybe it was to torture you, or to torture me. But I don't care anymore. As long as I can get revenge, I don't care about anything else."

His tone grew increasingly frantic, and Kisara Tendo stared intently at Rentaro, his eyes filled with both genuine love and an equally unmistakable madness—the madness to drag his beloved into the abyss.

"I don't care what the cost is, as long as I can drag those people down to hell. Even if I end up in hell myself, or even if I drag the whole world down with me, I don't care!"

"So, I've been abandoned after all? Abandoned by Tendo-san, the only person I care about." Looking at Tendo Kisara like this, Rentaro's eyes gradually turned lifeless, and his expression lost all vitality.

“You can stop now, Miss Tendo.”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the shadows behind Tendo Kisara, and a man in a well-fitting suit with a gloomy expression appeared.

Rentaro was startled, snapping out of his daze and staring intently at the man who had suddenly appeared, wondering why he hadn't noticed him earlier.

Seemingly unconcerned about Rentaro's reaction, the man strode to the cell, looked down at Tendo Kisara who was squatting on the ground, and spoke as if instructing a servant.

"You can leave now, Miss Tendo."

When the man appeared, Kisara Tendo's expression had already returned to indifference. She showed no dissatisfaction with the man's attitude, obediently lowered her head, bowed, and quickly walked out of the prison. She never looked at Rentaro once, even though Rentaro kept calling her name.

"Alright, Mr. Rentaro Satomi, Ms. Tendo has left. You can shut up now. I don't like noise."

The man with a gloomy expression kicked the iron bars and said in a calm tone.

"Who are you, and what do you want?!"

The man's expression was gloomy, and Rentaro's expression wasn't much better; he asked with a grim face.

However, because he was bound by chains and lying on the ground, Rentaro's gloomy expression only made him look more pathetic.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. How rude of me! Please forgive me."

Although the man was apologizing, Rentaro could only sense the mockery in his gloomy expression.

"I am Byakuya, Mr. Satomi Rentaro. Please remember my name, so that you will know who to curse after you die."

A grotesque smile spread across the man's gloomy face. He gave Rentaro an awkward bow, then nodded slightly at the wide-eyed, furious Rentaro, confirming the man's guess.

"You guessed right, your current predicament is all thanks to me."

"Why?! Why did you do this?! What have I done to offend you?!"

Rentaro's eyes blazed with fury as he roared angrily at the man named Byakuya.

Bai Ye didn't care about Rentaro's anger, maintaining his infuriating smile as he calmly said,

"The reasons are not important. What is important is that, Mr. Rentaro Satomi, the game is over. You may leave now."

"A game!? Exit!? What are you talking about!?"

Looking at the other person's smiling face, Rentaro felt a strong sense of unease and couldn't help but question loudly.

"I've already said I hate noise, why can't you understand?"

Bai Ye shook his head, his brows furrowing as if he were somewhat dissatisfied, but his expression quickly relaxed, revealing that unpleasant smile.

"Fine, since you're about to embark on your journey anyway, I'll forgive you this time."

As he spoke, Bai Ye pulled a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Rentaro's forehead, who had no way to dodge.

"The game should have ended when you realized that Miss Tendo had truly abandoned you, but I have generously allowed you to live for so long. When you curse me after you die, don't forget to say a few words of thanks. Well then, farewell, Mr. Despairing Rentaro Satomi."

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

P.S., thanks to 【要污不要优雅】 for the donation and monthly pass, and thanks to 【悠闲一下】 for the donation. Two more donations of 1500 each! Should I add two more chapters? [resting chin on hand] Hmm~~, I might not have enough time today, but I'll have time tomorrow. I'll add more chapters tomorrow. That's a happy decision.

Chapter Seventy-Seven Changes

"Lolo, can you see this?"

With his left arm around Luo Luo and his right hand outstretched, Yuan Yuan asked with a somewhat strange expression.

Luo Luo, who was nestled in Yuan Yuan's arms, eating potato chips with a blissful expression and her eyes half-closed, was startled. Looking at Yuan Yuan's empty right hand, she pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Ugh, is Koyuki trying to say that this is something an idiot can't see? Seriously, that's too much! If Koyuki wants to call someone an idiot, just say it directly and loudly! Such euphemisms don't even give me the satisfaction of being insulted!!"

"Yes, yes, you're an idiot, a super idiot, there's never anyone dumber than you."

Upon hearing Luo Luo's answer, Yuan Yuan smiled and shook his head. He reached out and took the half-eaten potato chip from Luo Luo's mouth, ate it in one bite, and then looked at Luo Luo with amusement. She was a woman with skewed values. She usually acted like a lovesick girl and was never embarrassed to flaunt her morals, but when she did something as ordinary as a normal couple's intimate gesture, her sense of shame would instantly explode. He waited to see her reaction.

Sure enough, under Yuan Yuan's gaze, Luo Luo stared blankly at him for a moment, and then it took her about half a minute to realize what Yuan Yuan had done. Her cheeks turned bright red, and even her earlobes turned red. Her hair even turned into flames and burned fiercely involuntarily, which seemed to aptly reflect her suddenly heightened sense of shame.

"I, I, I just remembered I haven't watched any new anime yet, I'll head back now, goodbye, Obuchi."

Frantically waving her hands, Luo Luo suddenly burst into flames. When the flames died down, she had already hidden in hell. However, hell was a part of Yuan Yuan's body, and it held no secrets from him. Therefore, Luo Luo, hiding in her room with a blushing face, covering her head and making all sorts of cute noises, naturally could not escape Luo Luo's gaze.

Having successfully made a deeply affectionate and infatuated woman blush with shyness, Yuan Yuan smiled with pleasure and let out a satisfied sigh.

"As expected, Lolo is very cute."

After separating a small portion of his consciousness to preserve Luo Luo's shy expression for later enjoyment, Yuan Yuan raised his right hand again, staring at his palm with a strange look in his eyes.

In Yuan Yuan's vision, something of indescribable color and complex structure floated silently in his palm, appearing and disappearing according to his will, or even burrowing directly into his body. If Luo Luo had seen this thing just now, she would have immediately understood its meaning: [The Protagonist].

“Lolo’s strength far surpasses mine; destroying the world is just a matter of lifting a finger for him, yet I still can’t see any magic runes. This is truly interesting.”

Softly murmuring, Yuan Yuan seemed calm as always, with little change in either his voice or his movements. However, his eyes had somehow become filled with fervor, clearly indicating that Yuan Yuan was in high spirits.

"This is really interesting."

Repeating what he had just said, Yuan Yuan's lips curled into a sharp smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his left hand, which was resting on the table, tapped the tabletop lightly with a crisp sound, instantly teleporting Siji, who was resting next door, over.

Holding a half-finished manga by author Ichifumi Yamada, Shiki stared blankly at Yuan Yuan, her mouth opening and closing involuntarily without making a sound, just like a fish that had come ashore.

Siji was already used to Yuan Yuan's sudden teleportation, so what made her react so strongly was not the sudden appearance of a dangerous person in front of her, but the [Protagonist] rune in Yuan Yuan's hand.

"In your opinion, is there anything wrong with this rune?"

Having already entered a meditative state, Yuan Yuan didn't bother waiting for Siji to come to her senses. He added a slight vibration of spiritual energy to his voice as he spoke, instantly jolting Siji awake. Forced back to her senses, Siji looked at the magical runes in Yuan Yuan's hand, swallowed hard, and said in a slightly hoarse voice,

"No, there's nothing wrong with it. But Yuan Jun, how come you have the [Protagonist]'s runes on your body?"

Upon hearing Siji's answer, Yuan Yuan frowned slightly and said nonchalantly,

"I don't know how it suddenly got here, but don't you really think there's something wrong with this rune? Rentaro's [Protagonist] rune clearly has a protective feel to it, but this [Protagonist] rune gives off a revolutionary vibe. Don't you think that's strange?"

Siji blinked, looking at Yuan Yuan's seemingly strange gaze, as if he had said something odd, and subconsciously asked in return,

"[Main Character] There are many kinds of magic runes. The personality and behavior of the bearer are different, so the magic runes they can bear will naturally be different as well."

Yuan Yuan was taken aback. Before Siji spoke up, he hadn't considered that the protagonist's runes could have many possibilities. No, rather than not considering it, or being shielded from considering it, it was a possibility that should have been considered immediately, yet Yuan Yuan hadn't considered it at all before Siji pointed it out.

[This must be some kind of protective mechanism, making it harder for people to use and study the runes. Although the nature of this mechanism is very simple, its effect is very powerful. If it weren't for Shiki being an insider who revealed it, I'm afraid I would have had to use at least 40% of my Alaya's calculations to see through it.]

Siji, of course, had no idea what Yuan Yuan was thinking, and continued talking to herself.

"Speaking of which, the [Protagonist] rune in Yuan Jun's possession focuses on reform and leadership, but judging from Yuan Jun's personality, even if he obtained the [Protagonist] rune, it should focus on things like unimpededness, self-reliance, and destiny. How strange, this doesn't make sense."
