A journey into an infinite dimension

Even if we occupy most of the planet, what good will it do? Without power, humans are ultimately weaklings, groveling beneath the strong.

......

......

"————We successfully captured Kisaragi Kayano!"

In an apartment, Abe Haruko, who was pacing anxiously in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been squinting, and a hint of excitement flashed in his pupils.

Then he immediately took out a piece of paper that was emitting a slight heat from his pocket and threw it into the air, while quickly forming seals with his hands.

"Those approaching the battle, all shall line up in front, and obey the command immediately!"

Abe Qingkong shouted softly, and the shape that was slowly floating down in the air suddenly combusted without fire. Then the burnt ashes seemed to faintly form a crescent pattern in the air.

This was given to him by the nine-tailed fox demon, who said that if he succeeded, he would use this to notify him, and then as long as he burned the form, they would be able to determine his location and complete the final transaction.

In this regard, Abe Haruzora could only sigh that it was worthy of being an existence from the era when Onmyoji danced with monsters. This Onmyoji technique was completely beyond the imagination of modern people.

And just the next moment after he finished sighing, a dark purple vortex appeared in front of him, and then without waiting for him to react, a pure white feather slowly fell from in front of his eyes.

The moment Abe Qingkong's eyes caught the existence of the feather, he stood completely still, without any movement.

Walking out of the space gate, Jia Ye played with the feather in his hand with an expression neither happy nor sad.

"Are they direct descendants of Onmyoji Abe Haruaki? And Mikazuki is also a branch of Kisaragi in this world?"

There seemed to be countless images flashing in his pupils. Jia Ye muttered to himself, then took something from the cabinet beside him, left another object, and turned around and walked back into the space door.

"Forget it, it's just a dead person anyway, there's no need to worry about it."

A faint voice echoed softly in the silent room, and then the space door closed.

The next second after Jia Ye left, Abe Qingkong woke up again, but before he could come to his senses, accompanied by an imperceptible strange sound, the sudden burst of fire became the last scene he saw.

Boom! ! !

Chapter 95: So will the Herrscher grow old?

Valentine's Day was filled with disasters. A gas explosion occurred in the morning at the Houm Mall, shattering the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the front. Fortunately, no one was injured.

A terrorist attack occurred at Houm Amusement Park that evening, leaving no one alive, including guests and staff. The severity of this incident has even attracted international attention. The relevant authorities have stated that they will thoroughly investigate the incident and will not let the perpetrators go unpunished.

Afterwards, an explosion occurred in an apartment building, causing the entire building to collapse, indirectly resulting in nearly a hundred injuries and dozens of deaths. Police speculated that the explosion originated from a certain room and may have been part of a terrorist attack.

The next morning, Jia Ye watched the morning news on TV and continued to eat his breakfast without any fluctuation in his expression.

As for the strange looks from Bella, Jörmungandr, and Xue'er, who were also sitting at the table eating breakfast? Jiaye chose to ignore them.

"Well, these things do have something to do with me."

Putting down the dishes in his hands, Jia Ye surrendered helplessly.

Who can bear the feeling of "enjoying" other people's gaze while eating? He is not a panda.

"Master, are you under a curse like 'accidents happen wherever you go'?"

Upon hearing this, Jörmungandr, who was closest to Jiaye, bluntly expressed the unanimous thoughts of the three of them.

"When I went to other places with the master before, it seemed that there was no peace either."

The simplest example was the time when they went to London to find the Second God's Key. When they left, London Bridge and the surrounding areas looked like they had been hit by a meteorite, with no intact place at all.

In addition to this, there are other places. Although some have not reached the level of London, some are even worse. As a result, ordinary humans who don’t know the reason are spreading rumors such as alien invasions all over the Internet.

"Don't talk like I'm the plague god."

Jiaye said helplessly.

"Everything comes to me on its own. I just solve it."

The so-called "gas explosion incident" was caused by the Honkai Will stimulating Ge Jiuye, and the Honkai Will came uninvited, so it came to the door by itself√*1

The amusement park attack, needless to say, was a true example of "seeking trouble upon oneself"√*2

As for the apartment explosion, as the culprit that directly led to the second incident, there is really no other explanation except that it "found itself at the door"√*3

So in the final analysis, all day yesterday, it was Jiaye who was being troubled, rather than Jiaye looking for trouble.

So he is innocent. (Convinced)

"Well, Jörmungandr doesn't mean to blame the master. After all, the master without any constraints is the true master."

With a slight smile, Jörmungandr said softly.

“Only the powerless will be bound by so-called rules, because the strong make the rules and the weak abide by them.”

Xilin, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly raised her head, and said this with a rebellious smile on the corner of her mouth with rice grains on it.

"You stayed up all night reading novels again last night, don't you want me to confiscate your computer?"

Reaching out and gently wiping the rice grains from the corner of Xilin's mouth, Jiaye casually picked up a tissue to wipe it.

The second-year syndrome caused by online novels has been confirmed.

"I didn't stay up all night, I slept!"

Xilin, whose face was flushed because of Jiaye's actions, immediately got angry after hearing his words.

Now the computer is her life. If it is really confiscated, what is the difference between that and taking her life?

"Two hours of sleep?"

"W-What's wrong? Isn't two hours enough to sleep? And we're not human, so it won't have any effect even if we don't sleep forever, right?"

Xilin's face fell immediately after being exposed, and she couldn't help but speak stubbornly.

"You're not human now, but you were once. Both your body and brain are accustomed to sleep. If you suddenly lose sleep, it will only make your subconscious feel more tired."

Jiaye said calmly.

Psychology affects physiology, and this is an unavoidable problem for every being that possesses both intelligence and a physical body.

Even though Sirin's body, transformed by the Herrscher core, wouldn't have any problems due to lack of sleep, she was still 'Sirin', and her spirit, will, and subconscious would be affected.

After all, her consciousness had stopped transforming into a Herrscher and had not been completely transformed like her body. So apart from a small part affected by the Herrscher transformation, she was still the thirteen-year-old girl 'Sirin', not the Herrscher of the Sky 'Sirin'.

So if you continue to stay up late for a long time, although you will not suffer from sudden death or something like that, you will become more and more tired, which is not a good thing.

So as a qualified brother, Jia Ye must prevent this situation from happening again.

"Also, lack of sleep can cause your skin to lose its radiance, become dull, sallow, aged, dry, and wrinkled. If you don't care about that, then I don't care."

Of course, Jiaye would not force Xilin in a rough way like some parents do when educating their children, but would choose to persuade her gently by "appealing to her emotions and convincing her with reason."

"Maybe by then you'll age prematurely and become like an old woman."

With every word Jia Ye said, Xilin's face became visibly uglier. In the end, she took out a mirror from somewhere and carefully examined the skin on her face.

In response to this, Jia Ye just smiled secretly in his heart and continued his "gentle persuasion".

"Perhaps you're thinking that Herrschers aren't ordinary people and wouldn't run into this kind of problem, but there's no precedent for this, right? The first Herrscher is dead, and I get plenty of sleep, so you're the first Herrscher to try staying up late. Whether or not these problems will arise, no one knows."

"They say lack of sleep is a woman's natural enemy. Although you're a Herrscher, you're also a woman. Besides, it would be best if these problems didn't occur. But if they do, there's no cure. Do you really want to take this gamble?"

Under the gazes of Jörmungandr, Xue'er and Bella, which were either sympathetic, observant, or distressed, Xilin put the mirror down woodenly, her hands hanging limply at her sides, her eyes shrouded in the shadow of her bangs, and her petite body was trembling slightly, which was visibly visible to the naked eye.

Is that a bit too much?

Looking at Xilin like this, an idea flashed through Jia Ye's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

No, Xilin must develop a good lifestyle no matter what. Since the "stick" has been given, let's give her some more "sweet dates".

"Besides, maybe getting enough sleep can help you grow taller. After all, no Herrscher has ever tried this."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Xilin immediately raised her head, and the confusion on her face disappeared.

The little pufferfish took the bait.

"You'll know once you try it."

Jia Ye smiled slightly.

"Then I'm going to catch up on some sleep now!"

After finishing breakfast as quickly as possible, Xilin ran back to the room at lightning speed.

"Bella, Jörmungandr, please help keep an eye on Sirin. Make sure she gets at least three hours of sleep a day. Other than that, she can do whatever she wants."

Looking at Xilin's departing back, Jia Ye said to the two maids in the house words that were completely opposite to what he had just said to Xilin.

The master (Kaya-sama) is such a gentle tsundere.

In an instant, the same thought flashed through the minds of the three people, including Xue'er.

【Gaya is such a gentle tsundere. 】

Then someone said this.

【Long talk. 】

In response to this, Jiaye chose to ignore it.

[Speaking of which, what happened to Honkai Will? She left without saying a word yesterday, and when I came to my senses, she was gone.]

[How would I know? I'm not that damned person. If she doesn't leave, I could just kill her incarnation.]

Ge Jiuye snorted coldly and spoke with murderous intent in his tone.

If it weren't for that bastard, Jia Ye wouldn't have been injured. Although he was also responsible, it was ultimately that bastard's fault.

【Well...】

To be honest, Jiaye didn't blame the Honkai Will that much in his heart. After all, the reason was ultimately because he made random guesses.

So what happened yesterday was his own fault.

[Why are you so gentle to that bastard?]

Seeing Jia Ye's thoughts, Ge Jiuye immediately shook his head helplessly.

"If you do this, it will only make her even more————damn it, you're courting death!!!"

In the real world, Jia Ye seems calm, but in fact he is confused inside.

Why did he suddenly lose his temper in the middle of a conversation?

Jia Ye sensed that Ge Jiuye had left the world of consciousness. Although he could still feel her presence, he could not know where she had gone because the location was too hazy. In this regard, he could only hold his forehead in silence.

He could roughly guess where Ge Jiuye had gone. After all, the only thing in the world that could make her go berserk was probably the Will of Honkai.

Forget it, it’s better to go out and move around occasionally than staying at home all the time.

With this old father's idea in mind, Jia Ye put down his bowl and chopsticks after finishing the last bite of food, and then gently clasped his hands together.

"I'm full. I'm going out later, so you don't need to prepare my lunch."

"I understand. Do you need Jörmungandr to accompany the master?"

Jörmungand, who had also finished his meal, asked softly while clearing the dishes beside him.

However, before Jiaye could answer, Bella spoke first.

"Wait, Jörmungandr, didn't you say yesterday that you would help me wash the sheets today?"

"Ah... ahahaha, that's what happened."

Scratching his head, facing Bella's dissatisfied gaze, Jörmungandr couldn't help but laugh dryly.

"It's okay, it's nothing important, so just take care of your business first."

Touching Jörmungandr's little head, Jiaye smiled.

Then he turned to look at Xue'er who had quietly cleaned up her dishes.

At this moment, she was no longer wearing the white and blue kimono she wore yesterday, but a cute outfit that was a combination of a kimono and a Western dress. The main body was snow-white, dotted with blue snowflake patterns.

The originally naturally hanging long white hair was also tied at the temples with two snowflake-shaped hair accessories, making the overall look full of quiet and elegant temperament.

"Xue'er, do you want to come with us, or stay at home and study modern knowledge with Jörmungandr and the others?"

Since he promised to teach her modern things, Jia Ye would naturally do it diligently, after all, she was his subordinate.

But he wouldn't mind if she preferred to follow Jörmungandr and the others. On the contrary, he even thought that this was the best.
