Infinite Chimera Creation

Without opening his arms to embrace the world, nor releasing spiritual pressure to increase his majesty, Yuan Yuan simply sat there and uttered things that most people wouldn't even dream of.

"Since this world is flawed, then I will reshape this world filled with suffering, break the distorted cycle of reincarnation, and create a world where all living beings, whether weak humans, ferocious Hollows, or greedy Grim Reapers, can live without sacrifice or suffering."

"Change the world? Are you kidding me? How could anyone possibly do that? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Although she was uttering words of rebuttal, Halibel's emotions were clearly agitated, and a hint of longing that she herself did not notice surfaced in her cool and indifferent golden eyes.

"impossible?"

With a cold laugh, Yuan Yuan stared intently into Halibel's eyes, his expression filled with unparalleled arrogance and confidence.

"Why is it impossible? Just because in your hundreds of years of memory, no one has ever done it?"

Yes, those who are dead, those who are still alive, those who have been forgotten, and those who haven't been forgotten—[those who belong to the past]—none of them managed to change the world. But so what?

His voice deepened, and his expression became even more indifferent. Yuan Yuan spoke in a tone that sounded almost like a smile.

"Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Because they're all not as good as me."

In a simple and understated way, it negates all the heroes, great men, saints, and villains celebrated in history. It's merely a plain narration, devoid of any so-called domineering style, yet it unexpectedly commands conviction.

"Without being modest, I can do anything I want, even if it's something like changing the world."

Ending with arrogant and presumptuous words, Yuan Yuan picked up the still-warm tea, took a sip, and waited for Halibel's reaction.

"But, but,"

Shaking his head, it was unclear whether he was trying to persuade the other person or himself; Halibel's voice became slightly agitated.

Even if you really could change the world, how can you be sure that the changed world wouldn't become worse?

Although she longed for a world without sacrifice and was dissatisfied with the current world, she had witnessed and understood that sacrifice was sometimes necessary. Therefore, the Hollow named Halibel hid her desire, making Tia Halibel indifferent and cold.

But today, because of the appearance of a Grim Reaper whose power seemed limitless, whose majesty resembled that of a teacher, and whose confidence proclaimed that he would change the world, Halibel's heart wavered. Unconsciously, a genuine longing for a world where sacrifice was no longer necessary broke through her feigned indifference and coldness, surging into her mind, making her unwittingly accept that "this Grim Reaper really can change the world" as a default condition.

After the words were out of his mouth, Halibel realized that he had unknowingly come to believe that the Grim Reaper in front of him could change the world.

Does this affect the ability to think?

【Do not! 】

Clutching his chest, Halibel's wavering eyes regained their resolve.

This is my truest desire!

This kind of life where living is just about surviving! This kind of place where living is worse than dying! This kind of world that only brings pain, I no longer care about it!!!

Although I loathe sacrifice, and although I fear death, sacrifice is essential for a world free from such sacrifices! Therefore, even if it means sacrificing myself, I don't care!!!

A roar surged within him; the pent-up ferocity, the shark's fury, that had always been hidden beneath his indifferent exterior, was unleashed.

The confusion in her eyes dissipated, and her longing was no longer hidden. Helibel decided that no matter what answer Yuan Yuan gave, she would follow him and risk everything to watch him create a world where there would be no more sacrifices.

"How can you be sure that the changed world won't get worse?"

She spoke again, asking the same question, but her voice was no longer wavering. It had become a calm that concealed a violent rage, like a raging shark that might reveal its sharp teeth at any moment.

"Whether the world will get worse is my concern. What you need to do is to absolutely trust me and believe that I can create a perfect world."

With a soft chuckle, Yuan Yuan extended his right hand to Halibel.

"So trust me, Tia Helibel, absolutely trust me, believe that I can shape the world in your heart with your desires."

Although she had made up her mind to follow the man in front of her no matter what the answer was, Halibel was still taken aback by an answer like "It's none of your business."

Then, the Hollow standing atop Hueco Mundo revealed a smile he had never shown before—slightly ferocious, yet exceptionally dashing—and placed his giant sword-shaped hand on Yuan Yuan's.

"Is it really okay to reply to my subordinates like this? Even I, who have stopped hesitating, can't help but start to doubt myself after hearing this answer."

Seeing the smile on the other person's face, Yuan Yuan gave a ferocious, yet equally manic, smile.

"There is no doubt about my success."

Just like how you met me and I got you, it was inevitable and unchangeable.

PS1: In this chapter, I've tried my best to depict a Hollow who decides to follow the protagonist because his own beliefs have been drawn out, so please don't use terms like "a tremor of the body" or "an aura of dominance" to describe a brainless overpowered protagonist.

PS2, regarding the reader's question, "Can't you update earlier?", let me explain again here. I'm a student with 13 experiments a week, ranging from two to six hours, plus a bunch of theoretical classes. Under these circumstances, my writing time is all squeezed in. For the afternoon chapter, I always finish writing it before going to eat, and for the evening chapter, I stay up all night to write it. So, please understand that I can't update earlier.

Alright, let's go eat now. That's all.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Great Road of Corpses

After acquiring Tia Heribel, the owner of [Obsession. Salvation], Yuan Yuan did not end his search in Hueco Mundo. Just as he said at the beginning, what he was looking for were the Vastods "them".

Originally, Yuan Yuan's plan was to subdue Vastod, also known as Halibel, who occupied the western part of Hueco Mundo, and then target the newly promoted High Menos Grande, Ulquiorra Cifer.

However, on his way to the southern part of Hueco Mundo, where Ulquiorra was located, Yuan Yuan unexpectedly discovered something that greatly interested him.

"These void beings were all directly crushed by the immense spiritual power, resulting in their souls being shattered and causing them to die."

Gently stroking the corpse of an Adjuchas, Yuan Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the scene before him, which could be described as "a field strewn with corpses".

“I don’t even possess such immense spiritual power, enough to crush Adjuchas to death. But…”

Looking at the thousands of illusory corpses lying on the ground, Yuan Yuan subconsciously rubbed his temples.

"The corpses were all intact, and apart from the spiritual energy spilling out due to being crushed by the powerful spiritual pressure, the Hollows' own spiritual energy was not damaged. In other words, the Hollow that left behind such a powerful spiritual pressure even after leaving did not kill these of its kind for food. So, was it to enjoy the pleasure of killing the weak?"

However, more interested in the person who perpetrated the massacre than in why the creature with such immense spiritual power would do so, Yuan Yuan had never encountered a being with such vast spiritual power before.

Without the slightest hesitation, following the trail of corpses, Yuan Yuan led Helibel and Karim across the carpet of bodies, chasing after the direction in which the murderer who had committed such a massacre had fled.

Yuan Yuan wasn't worried about being attacked after encountering the murderer. On one hand, he was confident in his abilities; on the other hand, if anything unexpected happened, he could open the gap at any time and take Karim and Halibel back to Hell.

The perpetrators of the massacre had clearly not gone far. Soon, Yuan Yuan and the others felt a powerful spiritual pressure, like a mountain pressing down on their shoulders, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression. And the further they went, the stronger the oppressive feeling became.

Walking amidst immense spiritual pressure, Yuan Yuan showed no unusual behavior, his expression remaining calm as he strolled along the Corpse Avenue as if on a spring outing.

Karim, who had been following Yuan Yuan with a cold expression, was now completely different. Cold sweat streamed down his face, and each step he took was accompanied by heavy breathing, as if he would collapse at any moment. But even so, he persisted in using his own strength to resist the overwhelming spiritual pressure.

If Yuan Yuan's performance was within Halibel's expectations, then Karim's performance shocked her. Halibel had initially thought Karim was merely Yuan Yuan's follower, possessing nothing special except perhaps the ability to seemingly erase her own presence. But judging from his current actions, there was no doubt that this taciturn youth was also a Vastod-level powerhouse.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he's even stronger than me. Muttering to himself, Halibel wiped the cold sweat from his brow, forcing his trembling legs to keep up with Yuan Yuan.

Before long, Yuan Yuan and the others reached the end of the Corpse Avenue, where a towering mountain of corpses stood. From this mountain, some claws protruded, some heads stretched out, and some eyes seemed to be spying on something, making it both eerie and ferocious.

Upon arriving here, Halibel and Karim had to rely on the spiritual energy shield provided by Yuan Yuan to withstand the spiritual pressure, which was like a raging sea.

Initially, Yuan Yuan made the two endure pressure to train them and help them grow better later. But if he continues to let them push themselves, they will likely be seriously injured, if not killed.

Looking into the distance, at the foot of the mountain of corpses, a figure lay quietly, seemingly asleep, and the seemingly boundless spiritual power emanated from him.

To Yuan Yuan's slight surprise, although he didn't intentionally release his spiritual power, it still leaked out unconsciously under the pressure of the figure's spiritual energy. Anyone with even a slight spiritual sense could detect this leaked spiritual power. Yet, even under these circumstances, the figure seemed completely unaware of Yuan Yuan's spiritual power and continued to sleep soundly.

After signaling Karim and Helibel to stay where they were, Yuan Yuan quietly walked up to the figure and carefully observed this being with unimaginably great spiritual power.

However, the result of his observation surprised Yuan Yuan slightly. This figure was actually a self-destructing entity.

Its form has become almost indistinguishable from a human's, except for its hands, which still retain the shape of wolf claws, the wolf ears standing on its head, and the mask covering half of its face. This figure can almost be said to have completed the Arrancar transformation.

Although I had expected the existence of autonomous Arrancars, I didn't expect to encounter them so soon. This is truly interesting.

With an interested smile, Yuan Yuan crouched down and patted the figure on the shoulder.

"Hey, wake up, we have a guest."

Hueco Mundo is fraught with danger. If another Hollow is touched while sleeping, it will attack without hesitation.

Whatever you want to do, just lie down first. That's the unspoken rule in the game.

However, the Great Void, who was lying on the ground as if having a nightmare, simply slapped Yuan Yuan's hand away, didn't even turn over, and continued to sleep with a frown.

Yuan Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and his expression became quite interesting. If he hadn't realized that the Great Void was indeed asleep, he would have thought he had been tricked.

However, Yuan Yuan quickly realized that with this Hollow's spiritual power level, other Hollows, even high-ranking Hollows like Vastod, would be almost crushed by his spiritual pressure just by getting close to him, let alone attacking him.

In this situation, no matter how dangerous Hueco Mundo becomes, it has nothing to do with this Hollow.

Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan clenched his right fist, raised it high, and then slammed it down hard, smashing it onto the head of the Hollow.

"Get up now."

This punch clearly had the effect Yuan Yuan wanted, waking the Great Void from its slumber.

However, judging from the way the Hollow sat up, rubbing its forehead and looking completely bewildered, the heavy punch that was enough to cripple an Adjuchas had not caused any actual damage at all.

"Now, can you tell me your name?"

Yuan Yuan reached out and pulled Da Xu, who was about to lie back down on the ground to continue sleeping, and asked with some helplessness.

Pulled back by Yuan Yuan, the Great Hollow's body stiffened abruptly. He stared at Yuan Yuan in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that anyone could reach him. Only after Yuan Yuan repeated the question did the Great Hollow finally speak, his voice dry and strained.

"Kyatai Stark".

Chapter Seventy: Loneliness

Just like what that white-haired lolicon said, "Because the highest power level in Academy City is LV5, that's why I'm LV5 like you." Similarly, because the highest power level in Hueco Mundo is Vasto Lorde, Koyatai Stark is "just" Vasto Lorde.

Even a high-ranking Hollow Vasto Lorde can stand among a group of ordinary humans without causing them any harm, as long as he is willing to restrain his spiritual pressure.

However, Koyatai Stark was different. Because his spiritual power was too great, even if he used all his strength, he could not completely suppress his spiritual pressure, and a trace of it would always leak out.

But this tiny leak caused a terrible consequence—the extinction of all living things.

Wherever Stark went, all living things, including the higher-ranking Vasto Lordes, would be crushed to death by the wisp of spiritual pressure he inadvertently leaked.

Faced with such an incredibly powerful being, Yuan Yuan originally thought that subduing it would definitely require a lot of effort. However, to his surprise, before he could even speak, this Hollow, which, except for a few parts, was practically indistinguishable from a human male, blurted out a sentence…

Can I stay by your side?

A husky, masculine voice asked, "Can I stay by your side?" This made Yuan Yuan instinctively punch Stark's head into the white sand at his feet. Only after the spontaneous action ended did Yuan Yuan realize that he was no longer in England, a world teeming with gay men.

As if nothing had happened, Yuan Yuan calmly withdrew his fist, which had been emitting wisps of white smoke from its excessive speed. He watched as Stark pulled his head unharmed from the ground and spoke indifferently.

Why would you want to stay by my side?

Like a canine shaking off rain, Stark shook his head vigorously, clearing the sand from his hair and ears. Ignoring Yuan Yuan's clearly unfriendly gesture, he stared intently into Yuan Yuan's cold eyes and spoke with a serious expression.

"Because you are the first person who can come to my side and talk to me."

It's easy to understand why Stark didn't show hostility towards Yuan Yuan's actions; to him, Yuan Yuan's actions just now didn't even qualify as an attack.

Is an action that cannot even cause pain considered an attack?
