Infinite Chimera Creation

Hearing the golden crown's murmur, Hongye frowned and reprimanded him, then said coldly,

"Alright, don't waste any more magic. Let's try to save the runes as planned."

Whether it was the comforting reprimand or the urging that followed, Jin Guan quickly calmed down, suppressed the depression of having his proud move easily broken, and began to try to wrap the spiritual runes in his soul with his magic.

Although Hongye had no problem enveloping the spiritual energy runes with her magic power during her experiment, this was because both the spiritual energy and magic power belonged to her, so there was no conflict between them. However, when Jinguan tried to use his own magic power to envelop and preserve the runes created by Hongye's spiritual energy, a conflict immediately occurred.

The instant the golden crown's spiritual power touched the rune, a shattering sound rang out, audible only to those with a soul's hearing. A large amount of magic power, along with a small rune, vanished simultaneously from the golden crown's body. Fortunately, Red Leaf had been monitoring the golden crown's condition and, the moment the spiritual power rune disappeared, implanted an identical rune into the golden crown's body, filling the void and preventing the golden crown's soul from mutating.

"Success on the first try is almost impossible; failure is normal. Adjust your magic and try again."

The activation effect of the magic runes had not yet faded, and the blessing effect on Hongye was still present. Therefore, Hongye did not have any negative emotions because of this failure. After nodding slightly, she asked Jinguan to start preparing for the next attempt.

Seeing Hongye's calm expression and hearing her peaceful voice, Jin Guan's initial unease from the failure gradually subsided. His crystal eyes gleamed with azure light as he began his second attempt.

The second and third attempts, each failure, finally ended on the twenty-sixth try when an accident occurred. A violent clash erupted between spiritual and magical power. Not only did three of the spiritual runes vanish instantly, but the golden crown's head also exploded, half of it blasted off. Fortunately, the demon he had transformed into possessed extremely strong vitality; as long as a quarter of his body remained, he could quickly regenerate.

Although Golden Crown restored his shattered head, the repair process consumed a large amount of his magic power. Combined with his previous attempts, he had very little magic power left, enough for only seven more attempts.

Even though Hongye was still in the activated state of her magic runes, she couldn't help but feel negative emotions, and her expression turned slightly unpleasant. However, Jinguan was relieved at this moment. After resting for a while and adjusting her state, she started trying again.

Once, twice, three times, and even on the sixth attempt, Jin Guan still hadn't succeeded. Just as Jin Guan was about to make his seventh and final attempt, Hong Ye stopped him, but before she could speak, Jin Guan spoke first.

"I know you want me to give up, and it's true, if I give up now, I can transform back into human form with your spiritual runes. But I'm not willing to accept it, I'm not willing to end it like this, I'm not willing to let your efforts be in vain. So, let me try one last time. This time I will definitely succeed!!"

Raising an eyebrow, Hongye looked at Jin Guan with a strange expression and said,

"Are you playing dumb? Making yourself sound like a martyr. Once your magic is depleted, you'll simply revert to being human; there's no danger. I was so nervous before because I was worried that the runes formed from my spiritual energy wouldn't work on other people's souls, causing your soul to become demonized as well, making it impossible for you to turn back into a human. After confirming that your soul is fine, this experiment is basically safe. The worst outcome is that the experiment fails, and I'll just reconsider other methods."

Jin Guan froze for a moment.

P.S., thanks to [White Silk is the Best], [Corner Transporter], and [Nyarlathotep] for the monthly tickets.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Peach Rabbit

Jin Guan froze, staring blankly at Hong Ye, his mouth wide open, glistening saliva sliding down his long, narrow mouth. As soon as the bottom of his mouth touched the ground, the saliva turned into a dazzling crystal pillar.

Shaking his head, breaking the stream of saliva, Jin Guan asked, somewhat stammering,

"Then, what were you trying to do by stopping me just now?"

Hongye raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, I want you to stay like this and rest for a while until your magic power recovers more before continuing. If you exhaust your magic power now and turn back into a human, your body will experience a period of fatigue, during which you won't be able to transform into a demon. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

As she spoke, Hongye grew impatient, waving her hand as if ordering a subordinate around.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Hurry up and rest to recover your magic power. I also need to take this opportunity to recover my spiritual power and replenish those runes for you. My spiritual power consumption is also very high."

After saying that, Hongye looked at the ground around her, which was now a mess, littered with dust, gravel, and wood chips from Jinguan's earlier over-excitement and reckless use of powerful attacks. She frowned, and without hesitation, kicked Jinguan.

"Hey, hurry up and get a chair out here, the floor is filthy."

[What's going on? He was so nice and caring just a moment ago, how did he suddenly become so rude? He's been rude before, but this is completely outrageous!]

The stark contrast in attitude left Jin Guan momentarily speechless, staring blankly at Hongye without any reaction.

Seeing that Jin Guan dared to ignore her, Hongye raised an eyebrow and kicked him again, this time with a slight electric current. Jin Guan was jolted by the shock and almost cried out.

When Jin Guan came to his senses, he saw Hong Ye raising her eyebrows and looking at him with displeasure. He quickly used his power to create a beautifully designed chair for Hong Ye, made of various colored crystals, and looked at her with a flattering expression as she sat down.

Ever since he was given a high-voltage electric shock by Hongye in the underground laboratory, Jin Guan has been terrified of her, always feeling inferior in her presence, like a little brother. Just now, before transforming into a demon, Jin Guan managed to stand up for himself for a moment while Hongye was emotionally unstable, but as soon as Hongye confirmed that Jin Guan was not in danger and his emotions returned to normal, the cross-dressing boy was immediately brought back to his original form.

So, those who are submissive should stop daydreaming about turning the tables.

Hongye sat in an exquisite chair, seemingly restoring her spiritual energy with her eyes closed, but in reality, a whirlwind of emotions raged within her.

[Ahhh! I was so nervous before, I actually showed such weakness. No, no, as a leader, I have to be tough, like Lord Yuan Yuan, one look from him is enough to silence anyone. But Jin Guan just turned into a demon, he must be very tired, and under a lot of psychological pressure, right? Should I be nicer to him for now? Be gentler with him? But, but, uh, okay, I've decided, he's already working so hard, and he's helped a lot before, I'll be nicer to him for now.]

Having made up her mind, Hongye opened her eyes. Just as she was about to go and comfort Jinguan and let him see her gentleness, a small figure ran out from a distance at an astonishing speed.

The small figure sprinted as it approached the red leaves, then suddenly pounced, hanging itself around the red leaves' neck with a pitiful expression, acting all cute.

"Ah, my big sister's warm embrace feels so good~~."

Hongye's powerful dynamic vision allowed her to easily identify the newcomer, so she made no defensive move, letting the little one jump into her arms. Hongye was about to scold the little one, asking why she hadn't listened to her and stayed obediently in the settlement waiting for her return, instead running off to such a dangerous forest, when the little one looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded sweetly...

"Big sister, big sister, you haven't come back for so long, Momousagi was so worried!"

Hearing this, Hongye could only swallow the scolding that was on the tip of her tongue, revealing a helpless smile. She patted Taotu's head. For this child who had only just begun to grasp spiritual power and liked to act spoiled, Hongye really couldn't bring herself to scold her.

Although Momousagi suddenly ran out, Momiji didn't forget her purpose. After holding the little girl in her arms, she walked towards the golden crown, intending to comfort the guy.

Although Momousagi is young, when she and the other children of the curse were summoned by Momiji, they were told that there is a method that is still being explored that would allow the children of the curse to freely transform between monsters and humans, thus breaking the curse of the children of the curse.

Therefore, seeing the obediently lying to one side, Momousagi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she smiled excitedly, waved her hands vigorously in Momiji's arms, and asked loudly,

"Is this the monster that Golden Crown Sister has transformed into? Wow! So beautiful, so gorgeous! Sister, can Momousagi become this beautiful too?"

When Momoto called Gold Crown "sister," Momiji's smile froze instantly. When she heard Momoto praise Gold Crown for becoming a beautiful monster, Momiji's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Although no one is forcing Golden Crown to wear women's clothing anymore, this guy seems to have completely gotten used to appearing in women's clothing. Wearing men's clothing makes him feel very uncomfortable and even causes him to get measles. So his daily attire is still Lolita dresses, maid outfits, and the like.

This led to the fact that no matter how many times Momiji explained to the children of the curse that this guy was a man, the children of the curse insisted on calling Golden Crown "sister". Moreover, although they were both called "sister", compared to Golden Crown, who dressed in a feminine manner, Momiji, who always wore a combat uniform that did not highlight her gender and had short, neat hair, was treated by the children of the curse more like a trustworthy and handsome older brother.

Although Momiji felt that her gender had been rejected, she couldn't vent her anger on the innocent and adorable Cursed Children. So, her anger was naturally transferred to the more feminine Golden Crown. At this moment, Momousagi called her "Golden Crown Sister," which immediately made Momiji unhappy.

Then Momousagi praised the crowned monster's beautiful and gorgeous appearance, which made Momiji even angrier. After all, Momiji's monster appearance perfectly highlighted the characteristics of ferocity, terror, and majesty, but had nothing to do with words like beautiful.

Therefore, in just a few words, Hongye's mood changed drastically. Instead of comforting Jin Guan, she kicked him again after coming to his side. After kicking him, she turned around and walked to the chair, leaving Jin Guan completely confused, wondering what he had done to offend Hongye again.

From an angle that Momiji couldn't see, Momousagi, whom she was holding in her arms, peeked out from her shoulder and gave Golden Crown a cunning smile that seemed to indicate she had a well-thought-out plan.

[My older sister belongs to Momousagi, she won't let you, you cross-dressing pervert, have her.]

So, the runes inherited from a harem-type protagonist do indeed come with a harem effect, and it seems to be an enhanced harem, with three hundred lolis and cross-dressing boys all included, making him a true harem king.

P.S., this is a ridiculous school. From 7 PM to 9 PM, the dorms have their power cut off, they dorm checks, and all students are forced out. Seriously, this is infuriating! My crucial writing time is from 7 PM to 9 PM every day, so these updates will have to be delayed. And this ridiculous policy seems to last at least two weeks, during which time I'll have to update later. Sorry everyone. However, I will still maintain two updates a day, don't worry, after all, I'm aiming for perfect attendance this month.

Chapter Ninety-Seven Notice

"Phew, phew, finally, I succeeded! If I hadn't succeeded, I would have been, I would have been exhausted to death."

Golden Crown, now back in human form, lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. The sweat streaming down his face was proof of his exhaustion.

"Hey, Hongye, I succeeded! I've proven that your method works. Now all we need to do is figure out how to increase the success rate. That's great!"

Although he was still very weak, Jin Guan still forced himself to give Hongye a big smile and offer his most sincere blessings.

"Ah, indeed, it would be wonderful if it could succeed."

Although the Golden Crown successfully preserved the rune with magic, proving that Momiji's idea was feasible, Momiji didn't seem particularly happy. To be precise, Momiji was actually very happy, but she also experienced some emotion other than excitement, making her happiness less obvious.

Unlike Momiji, who raised her eyebrows and wore a strange expression, Momousagi covered her eyes with both hands, but deliberately left large gaps between her fingers to look at the golden crown. She then slowly moved behind him, gently stepped on his crotch with her small foot, and let out a surprised cry as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Wow, big sister, look! Sister Golden Crown's body has gotten so big!"

The golden crown, whose crotch had been stepped on and even reacted to, finally realized his current situation. He discovered that he was completely naked and quickly squeezed out a little magic power from his body to use his ability to wrap himself in an opaque crystal, covering his body.

Momiji naturally wouldn't actually go to see the "interesting enlargement magic." Of course, Momousagi, the cunning little girl, also knew that Momiji wouldn't come to see it, so she confidently greeted Momiji and deliberately spoke loudly about the changes in the golden crown, striving to eliminate her rival in one fell swoop, cleanly and decisively.

Seeing that the golden crown was covered in a crystalline outer layer, Hongye shook her head helplessly, walked slowly to him, knelt down gently, and asked in an extremely gentle tone,

"My dear Golden Crown, I remember telling you a month ago that when transforming back into human form from a monster, you can recreate your pre-transformation clothes by using a small amount of magic to coat your body. Why did you still appear before me in such a natural state?"

Hearing the gentle tone of the red leaves, the golden crown trembled violently, drooping in every sense of the word, and replied somewhat timidly.

"After trying hundreds of times, I finally managed to save the rune, but then I relaxed and accidentally forgot about it."

“Okay, I forgot in a moment of relaxation. I can accept that excuse. But,”

Hongye smiled gently, reached out and lightly stroked Jinguan's cheek, and asked again,

"Why did you grow bigger when Little Peach Rabbit stepped on you? I'm so curious, Golden Crown, can you tell me the answer?"

Looking at Hongye's gentle smiling face, Jin Guan trembled violently as if he were seeing a boiling cauldron of hell, and said cautiously,

"This, this, I don't know either. Maybe it's a normal physiological reaction? I can't control it."

"Oh, a physiological reaction, you can't control it, that's a classic line."

Hongye nodded as if she understood, maintaining that chilling smile, and asked softly,

"Should I, like a boss in a classic doujinshi, say, 'You can't fight/work if you don't deal with your physiological reactions, so leave it to me, I'll handle it,' and help you take care of it?"

As she finished speaking, Hongye's expression turned ghostly as she grabbed Jin Guan's face and added in a louder voice,

"Permanent, deal with it!"

The golden crown trembled even more violently. Although it was true that he was used to wearing women's clothing, and although it was true that he did not mind the cursed children calling him "sister," he was still a man after all. If he were to be permanently eliminated, he still would not be able to accept it.

[Damn it, I need to think of something quickly! I have to think of something, or I'll really turn into a woman! Damn it, what can I do to get Kureha to let me go?]

Suddenly, Jin Guan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. The panic on his face subsided slightly, and looking into Hong Ye's emotionless eyes, he asked loudly,

"How do you know about doujinshi, Hongye? You're even so familiar with the classic storylines in them."

The ghostly expression on Red Leaf's face shattered instantly, her cheeks turning suspiciously red. She slapped the man in the golden crown's head and shouted angrily.

"I'm asking you a question, not the other way around. Don't answer my questions with your own!"

However, Hongye's reprimand at this moment, compared to before, had a more stern but weak feel to it, making people feel extremely guilty.

Jin Guan clearly noticed the change in Hongye's attitude, and immediately chuckled, offering to keep it a secret in exchange for Hongye letting him go.

However, a white crack that suddenly appeared in front of them interrupted their conversation. Looking at the crack that was emanating an eerie aura, Jin Guan, disregarding his depleted magic power after his transformation into a demon, cast the strongest crystal shield he could currently create on Hongye, and then cautiously assumed a defensive stance.

Upon seeing the golden crown, their first reaction was not to protect themselves, but to protect Momiji. Both Momousagi and Momiji's attitudes changed slightly, and Momiji even felt a sense of being moved.

Although moved, Hongye dared not neglect the owner of the white rift. She gave Jinguan a wink, signaling him not to act impulsively, before bowing deeply to the rift in the air.

"Lord Yuan Yuan, is there anything you wish to instruct me to do?"

Yuan Yuan, sitting opposite Bai Xi, didn't bother with any more words and simply said in a cold tone,

"Two months from now, I will conduct a global assessment of all races. Those who pass the assessment will be granted the key to further evolution. If, after two months, your Cursed Children do not have a city or settlement of their own, then I will consider them unqualified to participate in the assessment, and the evolutionary path of the Cursed Children race will come to an end."

These few words made Hongye's face turn pale instantly. She stepped forward and said urgently,

"My lord, our power is only just beginning; two months is far too short..."

Before Hongye could finish speaking, Yuan Yuan coldly interrupted her.

“You are my disciple, and you should seize everything you want with the utmost arrogance, instead of slowly accumulating power and climbing up step by step like an ordinary person. If you don’t have the strength to seize everything, then find a way to acquire that strength yourself, instead of complaining to me and hoping that I will change my mind.”
