Lolo felt a moment of confusion, and when she regained consciousness, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Oh, another one has arrived. Welcome, welcome."

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Luo Luo froze on the spot, staring incredulously at the man who came to greet them, then at Yuan Yuan beside her, unsure of what to say.

"Hello, beautiful lady, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the head of the Life Sciences Department on the Science side, and of course, my name is Yuan Yuan."

Wearing the same lab coat as Yuan Yuan except for the name tag on his chest, and with the same face as Yuan Yuan, except for being slightly younger, this person who smiled and introduced himself was exactly like Yuan Yuan.

Luo Luo then realized why the voice sounded familiar earlier—it was Xiao Yuan's voice from two thousand years ago.

"Even if you like men, if you dare to touch Luo Luo, I'll dismantle all your mechanical villains."

Frowning slightly, Yuan Yuan reached out and pressed his hand against the face of the guy who seemed to want to kiss Luo Luo's hand.

Sensing the subtle fluctuations in Yuan Yuan's hand, the younger Yuan Yuan wore an expression of "prank failed" and shrugged.

"Wow, senior, you're taking this too seriously. You're using phase interference right off the bat. Are you trying to kill me?"

Ignoring his younger self, Yuan Yuan patted Luo Luo on the shoulder and spoke helplessly.

"As you can see, all the researchers in this institute are [Yuan Yuan]. We don't usually call each other by our names; we just call each other by our research areas. For example, I am [Magical Life]. Do you think these are all clones? I can tell you with certainty that you are wrong. [Yuan Yuan] cannot be replicated. These [Yuan Yuan] come from different worlds."

"Those with cold expressions are Yuan Yuans who have only experienced a few worlds. Those who behave like normal people, like me and that science and life sciences person, are generally Yuan Yuans who have experienced countless worlds and lived for countless thousands of years."

Pointing to a group of people talking not far away, Yuan Yuan introduced himself with a strange expression.

"As for those few who look like they lack moral integrity, they are the oldest Yuan Yuans. The thought that I will become like them in the future makes my heart ache."

After Yuan Yuan finished his introduction, Luo Luo's expression returned to normal. She looked at the other Yuan Yuans, rubbed her forehead, thought for a moment, then pointed to the Yuan Yuan from the Science and Life Sciences department who had been left aside and asked,

"Why would he like men? I've never seen any tendency to like men in you, Xiaoyuan."

Upon hearing Luo Luo's question, Yuan Yuan revealed a malicious smile and said with a laugh,

"Because, just like when you found me, Lolo, and led me onto the path of studying life with magic, there was also someone who found him and led him onto the path of studying life with scientific methods. However, his guide was a cross-dresser, so naturally, he was turned gay."

With an annoyed "tsk," Yuan Yuan from the Department of Life Sciences spoke up.

"Senior, what you're saying is quite cryptic. It's as if my guide wasn't sent by you."

Luo Luo was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other Yuan Yuan meant. She looked at her lover incredulously and spoke hesitantly.

"So, Xiaoyuan, you sent someone to turn another version of yourself gay?"

Nodding to indicate that Luo Luo had guessed correctly, Yuan Yuan then nodded to a boy who had appeared before them at some point—a boy in a pristine white dress, with a gentle smile, radiating a refined and graceful aura, and giving off the impression of a perfect woman—and greeted him with a smile.

"Fujisaki, it's been a long time. Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Lolo. Lolo, this is Fujisaki Chihiro, the one I was just talking about, the guide I sent to this guy."

Smiling like a saint, Fujisaki spoke softly.

"Hello, Lord Yuan Yuan, it's been a long time. Hello, Miss Luo Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me."

Compared to Fujisaki's composure, Lolo was far less composed. She shook hands with Fujisaki with a stiff smile, saying "Nice to meet you," while inwardly she was screaming, unable to believe that this woman, who was even more perfect than herself, was actually a man.

Lolo followed Yuan Yuan with a stiff smile, watching him talk to various "Yuan Yuans" and listening to their infuriating conversations. Meanwhile, more "Yuan Yuans" continued to arrive for the meetings.

Finally, it seemed that everyone had arrived. All the Yuan Yuans tacitly stopped talking, walked to the conference table and sat down, while their partners or descendants who had come with them sat behind them.

"The reason for this meeting is that I, the head of the Magic Construct Department, discovered a novel in another world. After reading it, I felt it would be helpful for our plan to recruit additional researchers, so I've gathered you all here. What do you think? If two-thirds of you agree, then we can pass the proposal."

Yuan Yuan, who was described as someone who "gives off a sense of moral depravity" as he had mentioned before, casually tossed out a black-covered book and then, as if no one else was around, took out a book with a cover that would make even a child lose control and started reading it.

Everyone seemed to have gotten used to Yuan Yuan's shamelessness, and no one raised any objections to his behavior. They all used various methods to instantly read the contents of the black book called "Infinite X Terror".

Yuan Yuan rubbed his temples, pondering what he had just read. After a moment of contemplation, he roughly guessed what Yuan Yuan from the Magic Construct Department was thinking, tapped the table, and was the first to speak.

"Although there are many typos because it's a pirated book, I've already understood the content, and the idea is indeed good. I propose creating a main god."

"Ah, indeed, there are many typos in the pirated version. I agree to create the main god."

"Those who read pirated books are really terrible. Also, I agree with creating a supreme god; this thing would be very useful to us."

“Senior of the Department of Magical Life Sciences, I’m not one to stir up trouble, but I think the senior the Department of Scientific Life Sciences mentioned earlier must be talking about you. He’s provoking you. Go and demolish his old home. By the way, I find the Supreme God very interesting and agree to create him.”

"Hey, guys from the Magic Energy Department, don't start a fight. Don't you know what harmonious development means? Besides, we're all Yuan Yuan, our thought processes are pretty much the same, is it really necessary to hold this pointless vote?"

"Alright, enough nonsense. In short, everyone agrees, so let's get started. Why all the fuss?"

Finally, one of the Yuan Yuans, who seemed to have a rather impatient temper, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and walked outside. The remaining Yuan Yuans exchanged glances, shrugged, and followed him.

To create the envisioned supreme god, Yuan Yuan alone could not do it; they needed to cooperate with each other.

P.S., this side story came about after someone asked me to write about Infinite Terror in the Fourth World. It's not closely related to the main storyline; it's purely for entertainment. After all, creating a supreme god is quite fun. Oh, and there might be a sequel. That's all.

Chapter Ten, Act One Begins (Part Five)

"Then let's finish this quickly and go get something to eat."

Standing in the air, West murmured, stretched his body, and then opened his mouth wide as if he were about to yawn, revealing his lazy demeanor.

But everyone quickly realized that the action of opening one's mouth wide was not necessarily a yawn; it could also be the activation of a powerful attack.

A black flash gradually began to condense in the dog's mouth. Although it was not yet fully formed and was just a small black dot, the intense energy fluctuations emanating from this tiny dot gave Toga and the others a strong sense of crisis. It was as if if they were hit by it, they would be wiped out of the world without any resistance.

Without anyone shouting, "Hurry up and attack! We can't let him release it!", the three great monsters rushed towards West without hesitation, trying to stop the release of Cero.

Toga and the others could see the threat posed by Cero, and so could the Evil Buddha, though they didn't know how West had suddenly increased his strength. Ikkyu knew that if West successfully unleashed Cero, at least one of the three great demons would die.

Anyway, Yuan Yuan's script didn't say that these great demons couldn't be killed. As long as a few great demons could die, then at least for a while, Ikkyu wouldn't have to worry about anyone plotting against him.

So as soon as they made a move, Ikkyu intended to step forward and stop them. However, Ikkyu withdrew his spiritual power as soon as he released it.

Because it's no longer necessary.

"Hehehe, you fools, did you really think I would prepare a powerful attack without any precautions? Naive, naive, so incredibly naive!!"

Laughing wildly, the snake head opened its mouth, and emerald green Cero flashes shot out like a torrential rain. Unlike the dog head's slowly condensing powerful Cero flashes, the snake head's Cero flashes were slightly less powerful, but their condensation and firing speed was hundreds of times faster than the dog head's.

Before the three great demons could take more than a few steps, they were blocked by the torrential rain of Cero, unable to get close to West. Even though Touga used Wind Scar and Hell Dragon Slash repeatedly, Hosenki used the gems to teleport repeatedly, and Ryukotsune activated the toughness of the dragon bones again and again, they could not advance at all in the rain of Cero.

"Yo, it's finished! West's specially made black Cero, given away for free! Who will be the lucky winner? Let's wait and see."

The snake-headed creature grinned maliciously, continuously releasing green Cero from its mouth, while the dog-headed creature's black Cero had already taken shape, poised to strike.

Seeing the seemingly calm but actually wildly turbulent black Cero, Toga and the others felt a chill in their hearts and secretly increased their vigilance, fearing that the fatal attack would fall on them.

"Lives, die!!"

With a roar, the black void flash from the dog's mouth was suddenly released. The pitch-black beam of light pierced the sky, penetrated the distant mountain peaks, and flew away into the distance without diminishing its momentum.

Despite unleashing a powerful attack, West felt no excitement, for he knew that his Cero had missed entirely. After all, West's current strength was entirely boosted by drugs; while this was manageable in ordinary combat, his control was inevitably lacking when using a powerful technique like Cero, making precise aiming impossible.

Of course, when facing Touya-oh, West would never resort to such a self-deprecating statement.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the suppression of the world consciousness, I could have easily killed one of them. Damn it, that's why I hate those world consciousnesses!"

Dog Head spat out a mouthful of fiery saliva and cursed angrily. Although Snake Head and Dog Head didn't get along, Snake Head wouldn't contradict him at this moment and went along with his words.

"Stop complaining. Fighting normally under the suppression of the world's consciousness is a basic skill that every transcendent should master. You haven't fought for thousands of years, have you forgotten it?"

"Ah, ah, I know, I know, I won't play anymore, okay?"

It barked impatiently, its dog head opening its mouth wide again, beginning to gather a Cero.

"This time we will definitely wipe them all out in one go."

Touga and the others smiled bitterly to themselves. Facing this three-headed monster, the pressure on them was immense. Not to mention the black Cero that had just killed any one of them instantly, the ongoing Cero storm from the snake head was already a huge threat to them. Moreover, judging from the snake head's relaxed demeanor, maintaining such a Cero storm probably wasn't difficult for it.

But even so, there's no way they could escape! There are only great demons who die in battle, never great demons who run away.

This is the dignity of a demon!

Suppressing their unease, the three great demons dodged the barrage of Cero from the snake head while keeping their eyes fixed on the black Cero from the dog head's mouth, fearing that such a terrifying attack would fall upon them.

However, everyone overlooked one point.

West has three heads, not two. Because of the domineering presence of the dog-headed and snake-headed figures, and the deliberate silence of the ant-headed figure, everyone unconsciously overlooks him.

However, in fact, of the three heads, the ant head is the strongest.

The hideous maw suddenly opened, and a small but deadly gray flash shot out silently, without causing any energy fluctuations, and struck the mask on the Dragon Bone Demon's forehead hard.

What truly elevates Ryukotsei's position among the great demons is his almost unreasonable defensive power. Even the renowned Tessaiga, the sword of Toga, and the Souunga, known as the "Sword of Unrivaled Power," cannot completely damage Ryukotsei's body. Furthermore, the forehead mask, Ryukotsei's greatest weakness, possesses defensive capabilities far exceeding those of his body, reaching an almost supernatural level.

It was precisely because of this defensive capability that, in the original timeline, even though Toga defeated Ryukotsei, he was unable to kill him and had no choice but to seal Ryukotsei as the end.

But now, the mask that was once called "the one that could never be broken" is now covered with cracks, and the reason for this is nothing more than an insignificant attack.

With a mournful cry, the Dragon Bone Demon twisted its massive body and fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

The dragon bone spirit, which had landed on the ground, struggled for a couple of moments before becoming still. It was unclear whether it had fainted or had already lost its life.

Although Dragon Bone Spirit's current condition is not optimistic, Douya King and Baoxian Ghost have no time to worry about him. The two are staring at West nervously, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Because at this moment, the black Cero in the dog's mouth had been fully condensed again, and the gray Cero in the ant's mouth was clearly about to be launched.

Looking at the two orbs of spiritual energy, the two great demons seemed to be groaning in every nerve of their bodies, making them even more nervous, wondering if the next attack would fall on them.

Suddenly, a chilling light shot out from beneath their feet, but its target wasn't West, but rather the evil Buddha Ikkyu, who was walking towards the Dragon Bone Spirit, preparing to loot its corpse. Or rather, it was the alluring black pearl in Ikkyu's hand.

A crisp clanging sound rang out, and the beautiful pearl shattered instantly, turning into a pile of tiny fragments. Then, as if these fragments possessed their own consciousness, they suddenly flew from Ikkyu's hand, scattering in all directions, and vanished from everyone's sight in a matter of moments.

West was clearly stunned for a moment, then the Cero from his three heads turned back into Spirit Particles and were swallowed back into his stomach by Soul Absorption.

The dog's eyes narrowed, revealing a human-like, wicked grin.

"Now that the basic conditions for the contract to be established are gone, I no longer need to beat up the child."

P.S., oh my gosh, I'm so touched to see that some people want to see the sequel to the side story! [wiping tears] And someone even gave me a reward, which makes me even more touched! [wiping tears again] So, tomorrow—no, I mean today—I'll be writing the sequel to the side story this afternoon. I hope it's to your liking!

Chapter Eleven: The Cicadas Begin to Stir

"Yo! All you livestock watching here, cheer! The selection of the transcendent has begun again. Go, go collect the fragments of the Hell Orb! Go kill, go betray, go destroy, go annihilate, go deceive, discard useless morality, unleash your instinctive desires, and use every means you can think of to collect the fragments of the Hell Orb."

West stood in the air, loudly proclaiming heretical words.

"When the Hell Orb is complete again, the person who possesses it will be guided by us, become one of us, escape this prison-like world, and gain true freedom!"

Although his body had begun to gradually turn into specks of light and dissipate into the air, West continued talking.

"At that time, whether it was a powerful opponent, countless riches, or a lover to accompany you for a lifetime, anything you could imagine could be found in the endless world!"

"Ridiculous! You just said you haven't eaten meat or drunk alcohol in a long time. In a world where even food and drink are not guaranteed, how can you talk about fulfilling all your wishes?"
