Infinite Chimera Creation

However, in Yukari Yakumo's eyes, it was not so simple, because just now, Yuan Yuan had actually touched the boundary between "big" and "small", blurring the line between "big" and "small" and seamlessly stuffing something enormous into something tiny.

Although Dumbledore and Blanche couldn't perceive such high-level things as realms, they knew how big Voldemort's true form was. Therefore, when they saw that Voldemort was still only the size of a person after transforming back into his true form, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Although Yakumo Yukari had already told them that they were no match for Yuan Yuan, Dumbledore and the others could never have imagined that the gap between them was so vast. Even Voldemort, the strongest of the three, had reverted to his original form and was powerless to resist.

Completely ignoring the horrified looks on their faces, Yuan Yuan gently lowered his hand and placed it on Voldemort's head. Instantly, the original, unmodified, and most authentic body of the World Serpent dispersed into various particles, which Yuan Yuan collected and awaited recycling.

Voldemort's body was destroyed, but he did not die. His serpentine soul coiled up, its appearance ferocious, as if it would crush Yuan Yuan with its next move. But before he could make another move, Yuan Yuan's hand landed on his head again.

With the same action and the same result, Voldemort's soul instantly turned into a pile of scattered spiritual particles, which Yuan Yuan then swept into Hell with a wave of his hand.

Thus, Voldemort, who had brought a century of fear to Britain and protected the world for hundreds of years, was finally dead.

Dumbledore and Blanche lay less than a step away from Voldemort, watching helplessly as Voldemort, with whom they had known for centuries, died. Blanche was alright; she had never had a deep relationship with Voldemort, and they had even had some disputes over the ownership of the Elven Kingdom.

But Dumbledore was different. Voldemort was once his student, but they became enemies because of their different beliefs. After they both rose to power and the sharp conflicts of the past disappeared, he no longer regarded Voldemort as an enemy, but as a student with a somewhat bad personality, but not a bad person at heart.

And now, the student he once doubted, hated, and ultimately was incredibly proud of had died right before his eyes. How could Dumbledore accept this?

"Hmm, it won't disappear even if its former owner dies? Another piece of good news."

Unconcerned about Dumbledore's mood, Yuan Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the unchanged [Reincarnation] rune in his hand.

P.S. I have an exam tomorrow, so I'm going to bed early tonight. That's why there's only one update. I'll make up for the missing update tomorrow.

Chapter 119 Satisfaction

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I see it, I still think you're ruthless, even towards friends. You'll kill without hesitation if necessary."

Watching Voldemort die, Yukari Yakumo smiled indifferently and uttered some slightly sharp words.

“I must correct you on one point: Lord Voldemort and I were not friends. In fact, we only met three times before I left that world.”

Yuan Yuan carefully examined the [Reincarnation] runes in his hand, trying to find some changes that would satisfy him, while casually answering Yakumo Yukari's questions.

"Speaking of which, when we first met, you gave me a hard time, and you didn't even have the elegance of a long-lived person. You hurriedly left with Rumia because I treated the entire Hell as an experimental field. You think I'm too ruthless, right?"

After a pause, Yuan Yuan looked up at Yakumo Yukari, his eyes unusually deep, and asked,

"Then why did you show no negative emotions when I suggested that we use an entire world as an experimental field? You actively found all sorts of worlds for me, and now you don't even seem unfamiliar with me, shamelessly flaunting your integrity in front of me?"

"The drastic change in your attitude between the two occasions has truly baffled me."

Yukari Yakumo's smile remained unchanged, as if the shameless, unprincipled person Yuan Yuan was talking about wasn't herself. She chuckled and replied.

"Because I figured it out later. I don't want to be friends with you, I just want to make some deals with you. As long as I can guarantee that I am stronger than you, no matter how ruthless you are, it won't affect me."

"I see, is that so?"

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Yuan nodded approvingly.

"Accurate judgment and wise choice, as expected of an elder. Indeed, the wisdom of the long-lived should not be underestimated."

"Young man, you seemed to casually emphasize your age twice just now, that's really going too far."

"It's just your imagination."

After a few simple words of exchange, both Yakumo Yukari and Yuan Yuan received satisfactory answers.

Although Yuan Yuan does not reject the existence of friends, due to his personality, he finds it difficult to value others and therefore finds it difficult to consider them as friends.

If someone were to presume to consider Yuan Yuan a friend, and then, when hurt by him, assume they've been betrayed and unfairly accuse him, even Yuan Yuan would be angry. However, Yakumo Yukari's choice precisely balanced the distance between them, which naturally pleased Yuan Yuan.

As for Yukari Yakumo, although she hadn't mentioned it, she was quite concerned about how she had given Yuan Yuan a hard time and left abruptly, fearing it might affect their cooperative relationship. After all, the normal development of Gensokyo now depended entirely on the results of Yuan Yuan's experiments. Now that things had been discussed openly and Yuan Yuan had indicated he didn't care, she naturally felt relieved.

While talking to Yakumo Yukari, Yuan Yuan had already conducted a preliminary probe and observation of the [Reincarnation] rune in his hand, and vaguely discovered a method that might be able to interfere with the function of the rune, which made him feel much better.

However, after making a preliminary observation, Yuan Yuan put away the [Reincarnation] rune because he hadn't finished dealing with what had just happened.

Walking up to Dumbledore, Yuan Yuan slowly crouched down, revealing a gentle smile that was quite different from his usual demeanor.

"It's been a long time, Professor Dumbledore. How have you been since you were promoted to Authority?"

Dumbledore stared intently at Yuan Yuan, his eyes burning with hatred, but he remained silent.

"Is it really okay for you to stare at me like that? I don't mean to threaten you, but I must remind you. Because the difference in our spiritual levels is too great, when you harbor malice towards me, especially when we are so close, even if I have no intention of attacking you, my soul will automatically determine the source of the malice and strike you."

As if in response to Yuan Yuan's words, Dumbledore suddenly groaned and two streams of blood slowly flowed from his nose as soon as he finished speaking.

If an ordinary person harbors ill will towards Yuan Yuan, it would be like those humans who cursed him when he announced the start of the test. Because their souls were too weak and their spiritual level was so weak as to be almost non-existent, their malice was too insignificant to be detected by Yuan Yuan's soul, and therefore would not trigger any instinctive attack from Yuan Yuan's soul.

However, when a person with malicious intent possesses a certain level of power, such as Dumbledore, that malice will be captured by Yuan Yuan's soul and used to attack.

In fact, given the level of hatred Voldemort had for Yuan Yuan, if Yuan Yuan hadn't forcibly suppressed his soul's instinctive reactions in order to ensure the experiment could proceed smoothly, Voldemort would have been killed by Yuan Yuan's soul counterattack long ago.

When dealing with Dumbledore, Yuan Yuan clearly had no intention of suppressing his soul instincts, because there was no need.

"Then, farewell, Professor Dumbledore."

Just like the previous scene, a hand fell, and Dumbledore, driven by the instinct to survive, reverted to his original form. He was then killed without any ability to resist, and the scattered particles were collected by Yuan Yuan, waiting to be reused in the next experiment.

After Dumbledore's death, a Harvest rune, which looked much smaller than Reincarnation and Protagonist, slowly floated in front of Yuan Yuan and then merged into Yuan Yuan's body.

"Indeed, destruction is also a way to obtain runes. However, severing the connection between the runes and the world should be a very important step. Without this step, if the rune holder is killed directly, the runes will either be taken back by the world or transferred to the next eligible person, just like Rentaro's runes before. It is impossible to obtain them at all."

Muttering something under his breath, Yuan Yuan approached Blanche. His attitude towards this senior, who had once threatened him but had served as his assistant for many years without causing any problems and hadn't been used as fodder for the chimeras, was noticeably better than towards the two of them before.

At least, Yuan Yuan gave her some treatment, restoring her basic mobility.

Once she regained her mobility, Blanche immediately got up from the ground. Showing no fear whatsoever due to the deaths of the two men, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it down in large gulps.

"Junior, you really went too far. You killed them both the moment you met them. I've been planning for over a hundred years, and I was about to get them into the lab. In just a few hours, you've ruined all my hard work."

Chapter 120 Like Back Then

Seeing Blanche's casual attitude, Yakumo Yukari's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't understand how this weak female elf dared to be so presumptuous in front of Yuan Yuan, and she couldn't understand why Yuan Yuan would let her be so lenient.

Yuan Yuan, however, was not at all surprised by Blanche's attitude.

Blanche was like this when they were together. Even though Yuan Yuan could turn her into fodder for chimeras at any time for various reasons, she seemed to be oblivious to the threat of death, remaining calm and nonchalant.

It was precisely because of Blanche's eccentricities that she left a deep impression on Yuan Yuan in just a few years. This was something that even those Grim Reapers or Arrancar who had been with Yuan Yuan for hundreds of years had not achieved.

Yuan Yuan casually pulled over a chair and sat down. Without him having to tell him to, Blanche found a chair and sat down in front of Yuan Yuan.

Watching Blanche's practiced and familiar movements, Yuan Yuan momentarily had the illusion that he had traveled back five hundred years. However, he quickly dismissed this illusion and opened his mouth to speak.

However, before Yuan Yuan could speak, Blanche spoke first.

"I never imagined that after three hundred years, I would see your smile again, junior. It's a truly wonderful experience. However, your smile now doesn't have the same beauty that I saw back then."

Yuan Yuan was taken aback, then realized that Blanche was comparing the smile he had given Dumbledore just now to the smile he had given when he was about to leave the Harry Potter world and adjusting his mood.

Back when Yuan Yuan was in the Harry Potter world, he almost never smiled because of his mindset. Even Blanche, who spent a lot of time with him, only saw him smile once, when he was about to leave the world.

That smile was something Yuan Yuan had shown after spending a lot of time adjusting his mindset to prepare for the upcoming appearance of the Red Star. He hadn't compared it to Dumbledore's expressionless smile earlier.

Yuan Yuan smiled, not bothering to explain this somewhat mystical matter, nor did he tell her that because the flow of time was different between worlds, five hundred years had passed for him. He simply said what he had intended to say earlier.

"I thought that after I left, you would give up on your research on all sorts of magical creatures—oh, now that's a high-magic world, they should be called magical beasts. I thought you would give up on your research on those magical beasts, after all, you've been reincarnated as an elf, no longer the human that you find annoying. I didn't expect that you still hadn't given up, senior. I was quite surprised when I scanned your body and found those traces of modification."

Blanche raised an eyebrow and said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"Of course I won't give up. In my life, what else is worth doing besides research?"

Immediately, Yuan Yuan's smile became even brighter. What he admired most about Blanche was her obsessive and even crazy attitude, an attitude that even his best researchers did not possess.

Neither Szayelaporro nor the Age of Gods are as good as Blanche in this respect. To put it more dramatically, Blanche could be said to be the second Yuan Yuan, except for her lack of talent and luck.

"Senior, you haven't given up on just your research, but also on your own life. You know, I originally planned to kill you, after all, the attraction of that thing in your body to me is extraordinary. If I hadn't discovered that you had many traces of modifications on your body besides the modifications I made to you back then, you would definitely be dead by now."

Blanche didn't care about Yuan Yuan's mention of death. She leaned forward, closing the distance between herself and Yuan Yuan to almost face to face, and then asked in a somewhat fervent voice,

"Junior, you're so strong now, you must have a lot of good stuff. Show it to me. By the way, do you need an assistant? I'll continue to be your assistant, as long as you give me some pointers from time to time."

Yuan Yuan did not answer. Instead, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed hard in the air above Blanche's head. Just as he closed his hand, a small flame appeared out of thin air and was extinguished by him.

Judging from what happened just now, if Yuan Yuan hadn't intervened, that ball of flame would definitely have landed on Blanche. At that point, Yuan Yuan, the elven senior, would have disappeared without even needing to burn.

Looking up at Yuan Yuan's hand, Blanche wore a peculiar smile, seemingly unconcerned about nearly dying just moments ago, and asked,

"Junior, that person just now, was he the one who helped you when you created the griffin? It seems like you have a very special relationship with him."

Yuan Yuan's lips curled into a smile that mingled with a mix of pride, helplessness, doting, joy, and warmth, as he spoke.

"Ah, their relationship is indeed very special. Her name is Lolo, and she is my wife."

"Pfft, junior, your smile is much better than before, but I don't know why, I just want to laugh when I see it. Haha, sorry, sorry, I just can't help it. Haha, junior, someone as abnormal as you actually has a wife. Pfft, that's hilarious."

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's answer, Blanche suddenly smiled, clutched her stomach, and burst into loud laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Yuan Yuan looked at Blanche helplessly and found that after not seeing him for hundreds of years, Blanche's sense of humor seemed to have gone a bit astray. However, he was no longer as efficiency-driven as before, so he just watched Blanche laugh without saying anything to stop him.

After a long while, Blanche finally finished laughing. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at the sky again, and said,

"Lord Lolo, well, let's just call him Junior's Wife. You probably prefer that title. You don't need to be jealous of my actions. I have no feelings for Junior, no, no, to be precise, I don't have those kinds of feelings for anyone. My life can't tolerate things that waste time and energy, so you can rest assured."

Hearing Blanche's words, Yuan Yuan fell silent, because Blanche's words now sounded exactly like his own back then. He had also thought that his life could only contain research and his feelings for Lolo, and he regarded those things as a waste of time and a waste of life.

But as his strength increased and his research deepened, many things entered his life, such as taking time out each day to drink tea, teasing Luo Luo, doing things with Luo Luo that were both loving and contributed to increasing the number of lives, scheming against another version of himself, and turning another version of himself gay.

There are still many interesting things in the world, so it's best not to make promises you can't keep. Yuan Yuan didn't say this aloud because he knew that if he hadn't experienced it himself, it wouldn't matter what others said.

Chapter 121 Facial Expressions

With a cold snort, Lolo emerged from a ball of flame that appeared out of nowhere, glaring fiercely at Blanche. Although she didn't unleash any aura or killing intent, she still put considerable pressure on him.

"I'll let you go this time, but remember this: I'm not letting you go because of your lame excuses, but because you're still useful to Xiao Yuan. If one day you're no longer useful to Xiao Yuan, I will immediately burn you to ashes, body and soul, and even trace you back to the depths of the void to erase your life imprint."

Lolo's threat was undeniably ruthless, but neither Yuan Yuan nor Blanche reacted upon hearing it.

Clearly, despite their different reasons, they were all unconcerned about Lolo's threat.

After delivering a powerful threat to Brach, Lolo turned around and threw herself into Yuan Yuan's arms, wriggling and acting coquettishly.

"Waaah~, Xiao Yuan, I'm not happy, I want a kiss."

Yuan Yuan smiled, hugged Luo Luo and kissed her fiercely. Then, while Luo Luo closed her eyes and enjoyed the deep kiss, he chopped her on the head with a chop.

Covering the spot where she had been hit, Luo Luo looked at Yuan Yuan with a wronged expression and pouted in dissatisfaction. Although she did like being hit by Yuan Yuan, being hit while enjoying the feeling of kissing was something even she would be reluctant to do.

Completely ignoring Luo Luo's aggrieved expression, Yuan Yuan cupped her little head and shook it vigorously.
