Infinite Chimera Creation

Watching Siji still talking to herself with a face full of curiosity, Yuan Yuan's lips curled up higher and higher, and the light in his eyes grew stronger. Combining what Siji had said, Yuan Yuan could naturally guess that the [Protagonist] rune in his hand should belong to Hongye. After all, when he was nurturing Hongye, he was cultivating her in the direction of a leader and reformer.

[It seems that Rentaro has completely lost hope in humanity. As the "protagonist of humanity," he is utterly despairing of humanity. Therefore, the protagonist's rune was transferred to Momiji. However, this rune, which should have appeared on Momiji, ended up on me for some reason.]

"Why did Hongye's magic runes transfer to me? I'll just call Hongye to the research lab later to study it."

Yuan Yuan stared at Siji, a dangerous smile spreading across his face. Siji, who had noticed his unusual demeanor, instinctively trembled.

"Now, tell me everything you know about magic runes."

P.S. 1. We haven't said this before, and there's no need to, but since this has happened today, we'll just say it: personal attacks are strictly prohibited in our book review section, no matter who you're attacking. Perhaps some people are used to being vulgar and sometimes speak without restraint, which is fine—after all, not many vulgar readers are truly innocent. However, personal attacks are absolutely forbidden, absolutely!!

Oh, and if there really are any pure and innocent girls out there, please be sure to send me your contact information via private message so we can have a more in-depth discussion.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Changes (Part Two)

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Holding her arm, which was mangled and bloody from the explosion of spiritual energy, Hongye let out a soft cry of pain and then fell silent, waiting for the wound to heal on its own. Because a certain amount of spiritual energy was attached to the wound, the healing process was much slower, and waves of pain assaulted Hongye's brain. However, since such explosions had happened many times before, Hongye was already used to it and didn't care.

After being told by Yuan Yuan yesterday that not all children of the curse could be saved, Hongye felt lost and directionless for a while. Without Yuan Yuan's help, she had no idea how to save her fellow children; to be precise, if it weren't for Yuan Yuan, she wouldn't have even considered saving the children of the curse.

The curse of the Cursed Child is unbreakable; this statement is like an ironclad rule written in everyone's heart. Whether human or the Cursed Child, no one has ever considered breaking the curse of the Cursed Child.

Even though humans know that if they don't break the curse, those around them could turn into monsters at any time, and they could be attacked by monsters at any time, even though the children of the curse know that if they don't break the curse, they are destined to have no future and can only be trapped in despair, they have never thought of changing it.

Hongye was no exception. She had never thought that she would be saved, that she could get rid of that hopeless curse, and have a future of her own. That's why she was so excited and happy after being saved. That's why she was so confused after learning that other children of the curse could not be saved like her.

Fortunately, unlike before, Hongye has been saved, has a future, and has found hope. So after a brief period of confusion and hesitation, she quickly cheered up and began to explore ways to save her kind, just as Yuan Yuan had said.

Since last night, she has been constantly exploring various ways to use spiritual power. However, because she has not been in contact with spiritual power for long, although her ability to control spiritual power is good, she still keeps encountering various accidents. Each accident causes serious damage to her body.

"Wow, manipulating spiritual energy is really difficult. No matter how I think about it, I can't get any inspiration."

With a bitter smile, Hongye held her head, the wound on her arm pressed against her face, warm blood slowly sliding down her cheek.

Suddenly, Hongye keenly noticed that the atmosphere around her seemed to have changed. She slowly raised her head and stiffly surveyed her surroundings. To her left, she saw stark white walls and several neat experimental tables. To her right, she saw Siji, whose face looked grim, as if she had just been violated. Looking down, she realized that she was no longer on a soft bed, but on a cushioned chair. Finally, Hongye stiffly looked in front of her. In front of her, Yuan Yuan was frowning and looking at her.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Yuan Yuan, I... I was a little confused and reacted slowly, I'm so sorry!!"

Seeing Yuan Yuan's frowning face, Hongye was startled and quickly stood up, bowing and apologizing. She almost knocked over the chair because she moved so fast.

Seeing Hongye's reaction, Yuan Yuan frowned even more deeply.

"Your mind is a little confused? You're not confused in your mind, your soul is confused. Spiritual power is a power that targets the soul. You tried it casually, and after being injured several times, your soul has already suffered considerable damage."

As a trained child of the curse, Hongye possesses exceptional body control. Even if she hadn't slept all night, or even after a day of intense combat, it would be impossible for her to nearly knock over a chair when she stood up. Furthermore, Hongye has always been highly alert. In the past, when Yuan Yuan teleported her, she would immediately react to the situation and would never stand there blankly looking around. The reason she is in this situation now is entirely because there is a problem with her soul.

Yuan Yuan originally thought that no matter how strong Hongye was, she would need a day to adjust her mindset. By the next day, Rentaro would definitely have been dealt with by Baiye. With the protection of the [Protagonist] magic mark, she wouldn't have too many problems no matter what she tried. However, he didn't expect that Hongye would cheer up that very night and try to use her spiritual power, which resulted in her soul being injured.

"I'll heal your soul wound this time. If you get injured again next time, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Yuan Yuan frowned, squeezed a drop of blue liquid from between his fingers, and flicked it gently towards Hongye. The moment it touched Hongye's forehead, the liquid immediately entered her body.

Blinking, Hongye touched the spot on her forehead where the liquid had seeped in and found that she was indeed immediately refreshed. The hazy, sleepy feeling she had been experiencing before had completely disappeared.

"Okay, stop touching it. Here, take this one too."

With that, Yuan Yuan tossed the [Protagonist] rune into Hongye's body. The moment the rune entered her, Hongye's demeanor instantly changed. If Hongye was originally a somewhat spirited but still somewhat childish and even a little naive girl, she was now a powerful and imposing Valkyrie, her eyes bright and sharp, exuding an aura of grandeur in every gesture.

"As expected, they can be fused."

Before teleporting Hongye here, Yuan Yuan had already tried various methods with the magic runes on humans, animals, plants, and even the Maoyu, which was said to be able to generate any kind of life, of all ages, personalities, and genders. None of them reacted to the [protagonist] magic runes. Even if Yuan Yuan put the magic runes into their bodies, they would not show any changes. Only on Hongye did the magic runes show amazing effects.

Although the magic runes had already merged into Hongye's body, Yuan Yuan could still sense their presence. With a slight thought, the magic runes emerged from Hongye's body again and returned to Yuan Yuan's hand.

Strangely, the changes in Hongye did not disappear after the magic rune returned to Yuan Yuan's hands. Moreover, Yuan Yuan and Siji could still see the magic rune in her body. Although it appeared somewhat illusory, it was undoubtedly the [Protagonist] magic rune in Yuan Yuan's hands.

Tell me, have you noticed any changes in your body?

Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan played with the magic runes in his hand and asked Hongye a question.

"Yes!"

Hongye answered crisply and decisively, standing ramrod straight, her voice brimming with confidence.

"I can sense that my physical strength and recovery ability have been enhanced to a certain extent, but the degree is unclear because it has not been measured in detail. Also, my comprehension ability has been greatly improved. Three of the seventeen spiritual energy circulation problems that troubled me last night were solved when you asked me questions, and two more were solved while I was answering your questions."

"As expected, the protagonist is the darling of the world, far surpassing ordinary people in every aspect. Hmm?"

Yuan Yuan nodded, but then noticed Hongye's gaze and stopped abruptly. He raised his right hand, pinched the magic rune, and asked with considerable interest,

"You can see this thing?"

Hongye nodded again, her movements still swift, but her tone had subtly changed.

"Yes, just now, I saw it. Although I don't know what it is, I feel that it has a deep connection with me."

P.S., I've added an extra chapter, completed during a power outage. Hooray!

Chapter 79 Sumire Muroto's Taboo

"Since we can see it, let's try to control it. Kureha, try to control this thing. It's okay if you fail."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan released his control over the magic runes, letting them float quietly in the air.

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's command, Hongye didn't hesitate. She concentrated her mind, attempting to control the magical runes. Soon, sweat beaded on her forehead and temples, but the runes remained motionless. Finally, Hongye's face turned deathly pale, and unable to control the runes even slightly, she could only lower her head in despair and whisper,

"I'm sorry, Lord Yuan Yuan, I can't control this thing."

Yuan Yuan nodded, not surprised by the result. He himself could only control the magic runes to move them in a simple way; he couldn't do anything more complex. The reason he asked Hongye to try was simply because Hongye clearly had some kind of connection with the magic runes.

"Take a break, then sense your heart area. There's something exactly like this there. See if you can control it."

What Yuan Yuan was referring to was naturally the illusory magic rune residing within Hongye's body. Unlike the previous command that instructed Hongye to control the rune, which was merely a casual attempt and Yuan Yuan hadn't held out much hope for, this time Yuan Yuan was eagerly anticipating the outcome.

After all, even when the magic rune was integrated into Yuan Yuan's body, the controller, it did not cause any changes. However, after it was integrated into Hong Ye's body, it not only caused a huge change in Hong Ye, but also produced a phantom magic rune, which was obviously prepared specifically for Hong Ye. Yuan Yuan would naturally have high expectations for the phantom magic rune.

After Hongye recovered her energy, her attempt to control the illusory runes did not disappoint Yuan Yuan. She did manage to control the illusory runes, allowing them to move within her body, but she could not remove them from her body.

In addition to movement, Hongye can also control the illusory runes to enter a state similar to "activation". After entering this state, Hongye's physical abilities and logical thinking abilities are greatly enhanced, and she can easily do things that she could never do before.

What surprised Yuan Yuan was that although the activation state could not last long, it had no side effects. After the activation state ended, there was no injury or even fatigue. After a short period of time, it could be activated again.

After Hongye activated the illusory runes for the first time, Yuan Yuan keenly noticed that the runes in his hands had also changed, becoming easier to control and allowing for more complex movements. Therefore, Yuan Yuan decisively gave Hongye the order to activate as many illusory runes as possible, and to notify him immediately if any changes occurred in the illusory runes or her body, whether good or bad.

The relationship between Hongye and the magic runes is clearly very close. If Hongye were to die, Yuan Yuan wasn't sure if the magic runes would disappear, so he naturally had to pay more attention to her. Moreover, Hongye was, in a sense, someone Yuan Yuan had deliberately cultivated, essentially his disciple, so he naturally wouldn't allow anything to happen to her easily.

Hongye always obeyed Yuan Yuan's orders without question. Moreover, she didn't mind activating her active state; in fact, she really enjoyed it. Under the enhanced state of activation, problems she couldn't understand, principles she couldn't grasp, and things she couldn't do before no longer posed any obstacle. The exhilarating feeling of self-elevation was incredibly intoxicating for Hongye.

and……

If we were in an active state, we would surely find a way to save those children very quickly.

Afterwards, Yuan Yuan made some attempts to fuse magic runes and phantom magic runes, but all of them ended in failure. Yuan Yuan didn't care. After giving Hongye a few instructions, he teleported her out of the laboratory. Then, he used violent means to wake up Siji, who had been looking like she was seeing the end of the world since she saw the phantom magic runes appear. He made her cooperate with him to start further research on magic runes.

Just as Yuan Yuan was engrossed in studying magic runes and Hongye was focused on finding a way to save her kind, the Tokyo district, which had become agitated due to the serial killer, fell silent again after the perpetrator was brought to justice. Everything seemed to have calmed down and returned to normal, except for the dead and Muroto Sumire, who had suddenly disappeared from the Tokyo district.

"Doctor, one minute ago, test subjects 3067 and 3675 exhibited abnormal gene activity lasting three seconds and twenty-five seconds respectively. What should we do?"

Deep underground in the research institute, a young, honest-looking lab technician, dressed in a pure white lab coat and wearing black-rimmed glasses, hadn't finished his report when Sumire Muroto lazily waved her hand, interrupting him.

"Get rid of them all."

The researcher's face immediately showed surprise, and he stepped forward anxiously, saying urgently,

"Doctor, we can accept No. 3675, but No. 3067 is the best-developed experimental subject so far. Wouldn't it be a waste to dispose of him just because of a mere three seconds of abnormal activity?"

Sumire Muroto clearly had no desire to repeat her command. With one hand resting on the table and the other propping up her chin, she spoke lazily.

"Let's get rid of this too."

Before the young researcher could react, one of the two armed men standing to the side walked over. Without giving the young researcher a chance to speak, he covered his mouth with one hand and grabbed his neck with the other. With a sudden burst of strength, the researcher's struggling arms went limp and stopped moving.

The heavily armed man dragged the researcher's body out without saying a word. As he left, another heavily armed man walked in and stood in the spot where the researcher had been standing.

In this central laboratory, besides Sumire Muroto, the researcher who had just died, and some security personnel, there were many other researchers. They didn't seem surprised by what had just happened. Some of the older researchers even curled their lip in disdain, seemingly quite contemptuous of the young man who had died.

It's no wonder these people look down on that young man. Besides being a doctor, Sumire Muroto is also a member of the Four Sages. With this identity, as long as she doesn't try to overthrow the Emperor's rule in Tokyo, whatever she does can be forgiven, including killing researchers who are considered precious resources after the Great Cataclysm.

Knowing that Sumire Muroto has such privileges, it should be a must for everyone working under her to learn more about her and be careful not to accidentally touch her taboos. However, the guy who just died clearly did not understand this.

Ever since the accident in the lab where the mutated test subject went berserk and everyone except Dr. Sumire Muroto was killed, Dr. Muroto has become extremely sensitive to the genetic stability of the test subjects. To disobey her on this issue is clearly a sign that you think you've lived too long.

It doesn't matter if you come from humble beginnings, as long as you work hard and succeed, no one will look down on you. But if you don't even bother to learn this most basic information, it's no wonder that people will still despise you even after you die.

P.S., this is today's update. Four bonus chapters are still owed. Keep it up, you clumsy author!

Chapter 80 The Eyes of God

Soon, the group of researchers forgot about the young researcher and continued with their own projects, while Sumire Muroto remained lazily sprawled on the table, occasionally taking a sip of her coffee, seemingly with nothing to do.

However, Muroto Sumire's idleness soon came to an end. A researcher, equally young but much more composed, exuding an air of nobility and seemingly from a prominent family, approached her, leaned slightly down, and whispered in Muroto Sumire's ear...

"Doctor, it's time."

Although the researcher didn't explicitly state what time it was, Sumire Muroto clearly understood what he meant. After slowly finishing her coffee, she stood up and walked out without a word. Seeing Sumire Muroto leave, the young researcher quickly followed, and together they walked out of the central laboratory.

Stepping out of the central laboratory, there was a long, pure white corridor lined with two rows of stern-faced security personnel. Upon seeing Sumire Muroto emerge, the first few at the head of the security ranks silently stepped out and followed behind her without uttering a sound.

The security personnel still standing in the queue were all tall and muscular, while the people following behind Sumire Muroto were much thinner in comparison. Among them was a young woman with slender hands and feet, whose visual impact was far less than that of the security personnel.

However, these individuals are the most powerful in this underground research institute, as they are all top-tier mechanized warriors with formidable strength.

Top-tier mechanized warriors, incredibly powerful. Alas, what I once took for granted now seems ridiculously absurd.

Sumire Muroto gave a bitter smile to herself and unconsciously shook her head slightly. After witnessing Rentaro's brutal killing of four mechanized warriors and the battle between Momiji and Rentaro, these mechanized warriors, which had once made her proud, now seemed like toys, utterly vulnerable.

Looking at that terrifying power that defied imagination, and thinking that the power she possessed was utterly insignificant in the face of those monsters, Sumire Muroto felt a surge of intense fear. It was as if she had returned to the Great Cataclysm nine years ago, when she was hiding alone in the basement, too afraid to even cry, and could only pray that the rescuers would find her soon.

The underground laboratory was conducting experiments for the Monster Child Project, which aimed to create a cursed child with power comparable to that of a monster using a virus obtained from a monster. The person in charge of this project in Tokyo was Sumire Muroto.

After the previous incident where the experimental subject's genetic stability went berserk and turned into a monster that ravaged the laboratory, Sumire Muroto originally planned to remotely control the experimental process and never come to the laboratory again. Even after obtaining reliable technology from Yuan Yuan, Sumire Muroto's mind did not change.
