Infinite Chimera Creation

"My Lord God, is there anything you would like to correct about my earlier conjecture? Eh, does not saying anything at all mean you have nothing to say? That's a bit too boring. Hmm, how about this, my Lord God, tell me what this huge hole on your back that looks exactly like the Void Hole is."

Without concealing his wickedness, Yuan Yuan injected a twisted stream of spiritual energy into Zeus's body, bringing Zeus back to his senses, which had been dazed by the spiritual pressure and the heavy blow.

Ignoring the opponent's weak screams, Yuan Yuan maintained his unchanging fake smile, shaking Zeus in his hand as if it were a rag doll.

"Alright, now that you've woken up, please explain to me what that thing that looks like a void is. If I've misjudged it, I'll apologize."

He swung his right hand twice more, causing Zeus to let out a weak, miserable scream. Yuan Yuan's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes grew even colder.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"You, you can't kill me. If, if I die and no one inherits my power, the world will, it will be destroyed."

Looking weakly at Yuan Yuan, the god named Zeus, who bore the authority of the King of the Void but was even inferior to a Kyrian, struggled to speak, but his words did not satisfy Yuan Yuan.

"Another one like the Spirit King, who thinks, 'If I die, the world will be destroyed, and everyone will die with me.' Don't worry, the world isn't that fragile. Even if we lose a pillar bearing power, at most there will be some turmoil, and a new pillar will quickly take its place. So, please answer my question, Your Majesty."

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Residing in the Present World

In fact, from the moment Zeus's consciousness became blurred due to Yuan Yuan's spiritual pressure, his fate was already sealed, regardless of whether he was a virtual king or not.

The only difference was that after confirming Zeus's identity as the Void King, Yuan Yuan omitted some of the methods that could have been used to reduce pain when using him.

Although Zeus had been captured, Yuan Yuan did not return to the research institute in Hell because the focus of the next plan was entirely on the human world, and it was no longer related to Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or Hell. Instead, he directly ordered the scapegoats to establish a new research institute in the human world and reside there.

As for Yuno Gasai, Yuan Yuan kept his promise. He spent several months extracting the authority of the captured Yuno from another world, creating a rainbow-colored vertical eye, which he then transplanted into her body, averting her death. Because this vertical eye originated from a pure-blooded human, Yuno Gasai, although she bore the power of a god in a human form, her body did not mutate into another species, retaining her human appearance.

It's worth mentioning that in that alternate dimension, besides Zeus, Yuan Yuan also captured two little girls named Murumuru, who resembled the legendary black dwarfs. By reading their memories, Yuan Yuan understood that one of the Murumuru was a servant of the goddess Yuno Gasai, who had come to this world with her master and imprisoned her in this world, lurking beside Zeus to help her master regain the power of the gods. The other, naturally, was the unfortunate one who was imprisoned.

Driven by a small amount of curiosity and mostly by a sudden inspiration, Yuan Yuan extracted the souls of both Muru Muru. Using the method for creating a future diary found in Zeus's memories, he fused one soul as the "diary" and the other as the "holder." Because the two souls were completely identical except for their memories, they actually achieved a complete fusion, becoming a new soul.

When Yuan Yuan's fused soul was injected into the body of this world's MuruMuru, the body of the MuruMuru from the other world automatically transformed into a liquid-like substance and merged into the body of this world. After the fusion was completed, the originally dwarf girl actually grew a few centimeters taller, which excited the newborn MuruMuru for more than a month.

Although the newly born Murmururu seemed to have been catalyzed by Yuan Yuan's spiritual power during the soul fusion, and thus recognized Yuan Yuan as her master upon regaining consciousness, her abilities were ultimately unremarkable. Therefore, Yuan Yuan simply handed her over to Yuno Gasai, returning her to her rightful owner. After all, Yuno Gasai was originally the master of Murmururu in the other world, and if Zeus's inheritance had been completed in this world, Murmururu's master would have automatically become Yuno Gasai as well.

After dealing with these "trivial matters," Yuan Yuan was able to relax and use Zeus to realize his original vision.

When Yuan Yuan was reading Yuno Gasai's memories, he speculated that the large-scale emergence of spacetime-specific souls, which only appeared once every few centuries, was because Zeus altered the birth times of past and future spacetime-specific soul beings. This caused those spacetime-specific soul beings, who might have been born hundreds or thousands of years later, to be born earlier in the present timeframe.

It was precisely because of this speculation that Yuan Yuan's attitude towards Zeus changed from "quite interested" to "must capture him".

Yuan Yuan has been monitoring the mortal world for over a hundred years, yet he hasn't discovered a single human with the potential to awaken madness. As the conditions in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo become increasingly ripe, he is losing patience with this situation.

Zeus's method of "bringing people from other times" showed Yuan Yuan a way to quickly find humans who could awaken madness.

Once madness awakens, its creation is no longer related to the soul; it is entirely nurtured within the spirit. However, the awakening of madness requires a large amount of spiritual energy as a foundation. In other words, those who can awaken madness must be born with powerful spiritual energy.

So as long as Yuan Yuan obtains Zeus's [Other Time Pulling Method], he can find those people with naturally strong spiritual power from the future and have them born in this era, thereby greatly increasing the possibility of the emergence of humans who can awaken madness.

Zeus did not disappoint Yuan Yuan; in his memory, Yuan Yuan did indeed find the method of conscripting men across time. Of course, without Zeus's authority over time, Yuan Yuan could not use this method, so he happily and easily dumped this tedious task on Yuno Gasai.

Although Yuno Gasai can sometimes act a bit abnormal, she was, after all, a top student whom all her teachers relied on and received elite education, so she's quite reliable when it comes to serious matters. After spending some time learning the methods provided by Yuan Yuan and destroying several ordinary souls used for practice, she was able to accurately alter the birth time of souls with powerful spiritual energy.

People with strong spiritual power may not necessarily be intelligent, but they will definitely have some talent that surpasses that of ordinary people in some aspects. Thanks to Yuno Gasai's efforts, dozens of babies destined to be geniuses have been added to the world in just one year.

Unlike bloodline awakening, which only increases the awakening rate in harsh environments or near-death situations, the awakening of madness requires intense emotions that transcend conventional notions. It's like Ikkyu when he was still human; without experiencing any real danger, he simply strengthened his faith in himself and successfully developed the initial stages of "madness and unwavering conviction."

Since they were useless, Yuan Yuan didn't go so far as to capture those infants and subject them to "protagonist"-style rigorous training, such as doing push-ups at three years old, carrying heavy loads around the clock at five, swinging a sword a million times at six, and crushing Kage-level/Shichibukai at seven—things that even young dragons couldn't do, let alone young humans.

Of course, whether it's revenge on society or general education, it has to start from childhood. So Yuan Yuan used various improper and illegitimate means to establish a world-class educational institution in the present world, covering elementary, middle, high school, and university, for all school-age children, called Hope Peak Academy. He called his students "Super XX of XX", such as "Super High School Serial Killer" and "Super Elementary School Fighting Expert".

Yuno Gasai, the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy, declared in a media interview that Hope's Peak Academy does not distinguish between good and evil, and only recruits genius students who excel in a certain aspect compared to their peers.

In reality, Peak of Hope is the institution Yuan Yuan uses to gather those with the potential to awaken madness, who have been brought in from other times. Here, Yuan Yuan specially finds living teachers and culprit teachers who will use various methods such as suggestion, hypnosis, and stimulation to amplify the students' emotional fluctuations and increase their likelihood of awakening madness.

Of course, this makes Hope Peak students seem somewhat abnormal to normal people. However, Hope Peak doesn't need to come up with a fabricated explanation; ordinary people automatically come up with a "reasonable" explanation: "Geniuses are always different from ordinary people."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Twisted

"Kurosaki Ichigo, you little brat, are you looking for death? You clearly heard me call you, yet you still dared to walk so fast. Just because you have long legs doesn't mean you can be so great. Believe me, I can have your legs sawed off in a heartbeat!"

Kurosaki Ichigo raised an eyebrow at the fashionable girl in front of him, who was pouting, trying hard to put on a fierce expression, one hand on her hip, and the other tapping his chest.

"Enoshima, have you lost your mind again?"

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, an angry expression flashing across her face, and she kicked Kurosaki Ichigo hard in the shin.

Call me Shield!

Taking a sharp breath, Kurosaki Ichigo crouched down, hugging his legs, staring intently at Enoshima Junko, his facial muscles twitching irregularly.

"I say, you woman, you really don't show any mercy at all, using so much force on your childhood sweetheart."

With a sidelong glance, the girl looked down at Kurosaki Ichigo with disdain.

"Childhood sweethearts? Sorry, I don't have a childhood sweetheart who I've known for thirteen years and still refer to by their surname."

With a wry smile, Ichigo Kurosaki rubbed his still throbbing calf, stood up, and placed his hand on the girl's head.

"Alright, alright, Dunko, that's enough, you're really sensitive about these little things."

"Don't treat me like a child,"

Junko Enoshima forcefully slapped Ichigo Kurosaki's hand away, looking intently into his eyes, her expression turning serious.

"I'll forgive you for the issue of how you address me. But why didn't you wait for me when I called you? Explain yourself clearly. Is it because I'm a 'Super High School Model' with no potential for development, and I can't compare to your 'Super High School Neurotic Reflexes,' so you look down on me? Do you think it's shameful to be with me? If so, just say it, and I'll stay far away from you from now on without hesitation."

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression also turned serious. His childhood friendship with his childhood friend had taught him just how sensitive she was. If he didn't handle this situation well, he might really lose a friend he had known for thirteen years.

"Junko, I assure you, Enoshima Junko will be Ichigo Kurosaki's friend for life."

"As expected, Ichigo is always gentle, so gentle that it makes you want to... kill him."

Upon hearing Ichigo Kurosaki's assurance, Junko Enoshima showed no joy but instead appeared disappointed, muttering to herself.

"Uh, Junko, what did you say?"

Because Junko Enoshima deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke, even Ichigo Kurosaki, who was standing in front of her, couldn't hear what she was saying.

"It's nothing, Teacher Yuan Yuan needs to talk to me, I'll be going now."

Junko Enoshima shook her head, her attitude suddenly turning cold. With a gloomy expression, she waved her hand, uttered a single sentence, and left without looking back.

Having long been accustomed to Junko Enoshima's unpredictable moods, Ichigo Kurosaki didn't pay much attention to her sudden change in attitude. He scratched his head and turned to walk towards the classroom.

With light steps, Enoshima Junko walked toward Yuan Yuan's office, her face filled with a gloomy expression that didn't match her movements. She unconsciously twirled her long hair that fell to her shoulders, seemingly lost in thought.

"What happened? The aura of despair emanating from you has intensified."

The sudden, cold voice interrupted Enoshima Junko's thoughts. She looked up and surveyed her surroundings before realizing that she had entered Yuan Yuan's office and, as usual, sat down in the chair opposite him.

Unburdened by her hair, which remained perfectly intact despite her playful antics, Junko Enoshima casually crossed her legs and spoke with a hint of exasperation.

"Just now, Ichigo Kurosaki said that I am his friend for life."

With just a simple sentence, Yuan Yuan revealed a knowing look.

Yuan Yuan, who had been in contact with Junko Enoshima since junior high school and had guided her when necessary, knew all too well what a twisted person Junko Enoshima was—the outwardly enthusiastic and unrestrained "Ultimate High School Model" who claimed she could single-handedly lead the fashion trends of young people all over the world, but was actually the "Ultimate High School Despair."

Yuno Gasai recruited people from other times, and they were all different types. They were born with strong souls, and more or less they had developed an obsession in some aspect. For example, there was Oogami Sakura, who was willing to sacrifice herself for someone she didn't know well; Owada Monshi, who was willing to give everything for a promise; Ishimaru Kiyotaka, who adhered to the rules and would absolutely follow the rules even when facing a life-or-death crisis; and Hagakure Yasuhiro, who was cowardly but had an unusually strong confidence in himself.

Because of their obsessions, they appear eccentric and, to normal people, undoubtedly incomprehensible and somewhat twisted oddballs. But even among this group of oddballs, Enoshima Junko's hidden true self is absolutely an oddball among oddballs, a twisted twisted twisted twisted twisted.

Junko Enoshima, this girl, seems to have been born out of despair. No matter where she is, what she faces, or what she experiences, she feels the same despair.

It's not that there's no hope. Even Junko Enoshima, who was born in despair, still harbored hope. However, for her, the only hope in life was to embrace despair and experience even more despair.

It's not that she's immune to the pain of despair. Even Junko Enoshima, who sees despair as hope, still experiences uncontrollable and intense pain when faced with it. However, accompanying this pain is the joy of achieving hope.

It's as if God irrationally forced all the despair of the world upon her. Holding onto a hope called "despair," the human named Junko Enoshima is constantly being distorted from birth, eventually straying further and further from the path of humanity.

Kurosaki Ichigo's promise to Enoshima Junko, in a way, provides the girl with a new opportunity to experience despair.

"I think I've fallen for Kurosaki Ichigo. Well, to be precise, I've fallen in love with Kurosaki Ichigo. That's right, Enoshima Junko's favorite is Kurosaki Ichigo."

The girl stared into Yuan Yuan's eyes without the slightest shyness, and openly declared that she had fallen in love with a certain boy.

"So, I want to kill him, kill Kurosaki Ichigo. Yes, I am really looking forward to the feeling of killing Kurosaki Ichigo, and I believe it will be a kind of despair that I have never experienced before."

The girl continued to stare into Yuan Yuan's eyes, without a trace of reluctance, and openly declared that she wanted to kill the boy she deeply loved.

Twirling the ballpoint pen in his hand, Yuan Yuan began to speak in a tone reminiscing about the past.

"Let me think, when was the last time you came to me with such determination? Oh right, I remember now. It was a month before your sister Zhanren Mukuro's birthday, wasn't it? Back then, you were staring straight into my eyes, just like you are now, clearly hoping I could help you, but remaining a little proud and silent."

Junko Enoshima seemed to recall some fond memories, a faint blush rising on her fair face.

"Ah, I remember too. Although I didn't ask the teacher for help, the teacher still helped me very kindly. I was able to successfully send my sister to see her parents, whom she had missed for so long, on her birthday. At the same time, I also experienced the despair of losing all my relatives. That wonderful feeling, even after three years, is still unforgettable."

Leaning forward, the girl's face drew close to Yuan Yuan's, a naive smile on her lips.

"So the teacher will definitely help me this time, right?"

Chapter 100 Profound Love

Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the girl in front of him who was asking him for help in order to kill the boy she deeply loved, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Why are you asking me for help with something like this? Given your relationship, you could just throw him some drugged food, and he definitely wouldn't suspect you, right?"

With a disgruntled "tsk," Junko Enoshima once again displayed her capricious and unpredictable nature. She slammed her hand on the table, her eyes narrowing into a fierce expression.

"Teacher, do you want to die? I already explained this kind of question when I killed my sister, and now you want me to repeat it again? You don't mind the trouble, but I do!"

With his unsettling smile unchanged, Yuan Yuan raised his pen and lightly pointed at Enoshima Junko's brow, his eyes narrowing.

"Little Shield, I must congratulate you. You just did something that no one has dared to do for hundreds of years: [threatened Yuan Yuan]. How about it, are you happy? You accomplished something that no one has been able to do for hundreds of years."

Like an animal facing a predator in a high position, Junko Enoshima's body stiffened. Although Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes, she seemed to sense murderous gazes coming from all directions in an instant. Those gazes made her feel that she would die in the next second.

The despair of death overwhelmed Junko Enoshima, causing her to tremble with fear of death, while simultaneously experiencing a thrill she had never felt before.

[This feeling, yes, this feeling of despair, is wonderful, truly wonderful. I want to experience more of this despair.]

Her face flushed, and Junko Enoshima opened her mouth with difficulty.

[However, although I want to savor this intoxicating despair a little longer, it's not time yet. I haven't experienced the despair of killing Ichigo, so I can't die now.]

Her lips trembled, and the girl uttered a voice that was different from her usual sweet and off-key tone.

"Teacher, don't you feel embarrassed to be so petty with a little girl?"

Yuan Yuan's lips curled up even higher, and his tone became lighter.
