Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

My goodness, he really didn't expect that Melina would be willing to give herself the destined death!

Chapter 36: My wife’s thighs smell so good~!

Predestined death is, in a sense, the embodiment of "death" itself.

In the story of the Elden Circle, a power called the Golden Dynasty, blessed by the Golden Tree, grants immortality to all demigods and gods. Even if something were to happen to them, they could be reborn under the blessing.

But it was because of this destined death that the first demigod died in the Golden Dynasty.

Not only was the demigod's soul destroyed by his destined death, but even his body could never be fully repaired by the power bestowed by the golden tree. In the end, the divine body could only be deformed into a monster-like appearance in the continuous conflict between the two forces of life and death.

This shows how terrifying destined death is.

Even someone as powerful as Lin Zhiyu would be in awe of such a force. But on the other hand, if he could control this power, wouldn't Lin Zhiyu be able to kill anyone who stood in his way and walk around with impunity wherever he went?

So it would be a lie to say that Lin Zhiyu was not tempted by Melina's proposal.

But after a brief moment of deliberation, Lin Zhiyu ultimately refused. The reason was simple: destined death was the most precious thing Melina possessed. Lin Zhiyu couldn't accept such a generous gift with a clear conscience!

Melina shook her head and said to Lin Zhiyu, "No, destined death is just an external object, just a tool to me, not precious at all. The most precious thing in my heart is actually..."

Having said this, the girl glanced at Lin Zhiyu, then lowered her head and fell silent.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then he squinted his eyes and smiled happily. He raised his hand to rub Melina's hair again, and held Melina's face and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Melina, you are so nice." Lin Zhiyu whispered.

Melina pursed her lips and remained silent, her face flushed.

The two then discussed the fate of the destined death, and Lin Zhiyu made it clear to Melina that this power should continue to be controlled by Melina.

At most, he was just like Astaroth, getting a small part of the destined death from Melina.

"alright, I got it."

Melina nodded after learning of Lin Zhiyu's intentions. She didn't want to force a death on Lin Zhiyu. However, she then told him another interesting story.

"If you can share a portion of the power of destined death with me, then I can use some kind of ritual to give you the ability to return from death."

"Hmm? Back from the dead?"

Unexpectedly, Melina said something shocking again. Lin Zhiyu opened his eyes wide and asked Melina, "You mean... resurrection?"

"Ah."

Melina nodded, and then explained to Lin Zhiyu that destined death is the embodiment of "death", so if one can control destined death, even if it is only a part of destined death, it means that one has the qualifications to manipulate death.

Through a certain ritual, a portion of the vitality is slowly stored over time, and this portion of vitality is consumed after death, returning from death. This is another gift that Melina wants to give to Lin Zhiyu.

After listening to Melina's explanation, Lin Zhiyu remembered something.

That is, in the game of Elden Ring, in the later stages, players will encounter a duo boss named Divine Skin Apostle + Divine Skin Noble on the main line - these two beasts have a special mechanism that allows them to resurrect.

First of all, these two bosses will each have an independent health bar on their heads, and they will die when the independent health bar is empty.

But at the same time, the two bosses have another shared total health bar. As long as the total health bar is not depleted, these two beasts will be resurrected quickly even if they die.

Interestingly, the Godskin Clan in the Elden Circle believed in the Black Flame and were notorious for their incomparably powerful force of the God-killing Black Flame!

The god-killing black flame is a weakened representation of destined death.

So Lin Zhiyu only needed to think about it for a moment before realizing that the life-saving trump card Melina wanted to share with him was most likely the same as the special resurrection mechanism of the divine skin duo in the game.

No matter what, his wife wanted to give him the most powerful strength in her body, and she also wanted to give him another life-saving trump card... How could Lin Zhiyu not be moved at all?

Although Melina was quite introverted and remained calm when she expressed herself, Lin Zhiyu had already fully sensed her feelings, so he hugged her again, sniffing her fragrance and holding her tightly.

Being hugged so tightly by Lin Zhiyu, Melina felt a little at a loss. Her pair of white and tender hands hung at her waist, and she clenched them into fists nervously. But after a moment's hesitation, her fingers loosened. Finally, she slowly raised her hands and placed them on Lin Zhiyu's back, hugging Lin Zhiyu, which was also a response to Lin Zhiyu.

After hugging each other for several minutes, Lin Zhiyu finally separated from Melina. Then, he smiled and said to Melina, "I'm very grateful to my wife for thinking about me so wholeheartedly, but I don't need it."

Because Lin Zhiyu originally had the limited skill [Rebirth Ring], he was not afraid of death (for those who have forgotten about the Rebirth Ring, please see the character card for details).

In comparison, Lin Zhiyu would rather Melina use the ritual she mentioned on other people.

For example, Lani and Millicent, they are Melina's sisters!

Melina shook her head and rejected Lin Zhiyu's proposal. It was not because she was unwilling to share this life-saving trump card with anyone other than Lin Zhiyu, but because the prerequisite for possessing this life-saving trump card was to be able to control or withstand the pressure brought by "death".

"If it was Sister Lani or Sister Millicent, they would most likely be burned to death by the black flames during the ceremony." Melina said in a deep voice.

Lin Zhiyu pondered, "In other words, only someone like me who's a professional at playing with fire, or someone with strong vitality and high fire resistance, can handle this life-saving trump card you can offer. Is that what you mean?"

"Yeah, that's about it." Melina nodded.

So Lin Zhiyu thought about it again and realized that among all the female relatives around him, the only ones who could get a chance to be resurrected from Melina were Astaroth, Ingrid, and Busujima Saeko - only these three!

Among them, Astaroth and Ingrid are both professional fire players, while Saeko obtained the [Burning Corruption Rune] which provides her with +50% fire resistance after completing the Elden Ring world.

Chapter 37: There are too many wives, not enough to share!

That day, Lin Zhiyu spent the entire night asking Melina for advice on how to control his destined death.

Although he did not agree to take over the complete ownership of Fated Death from Melina, Lin Zhiyu was still happy to share a part of Fated Death from Melina.

At the same time, Melina also shared with Lin Zhiyu the methods and some experiences of controlling the black flame.

Possessing a part of the power of destined death, Lin Zhiyu naturally has the qualifications to control the black flame. After all, the black flame is a weakened manifestation of destined death.

The question is - since the black flame is not as good as a destined death, why did Melina teach Lin Zhiyu how to control the black flame?

It's very simple, because Lin Zhiyu only got a small part of the power of Fated Death from Melina, and he can't use Fated Death as much as he uses his own Fire of Destruction in battle.

But if it is black flame, Lin Zhiyu can use it as a regular method and use it frequently.

To put it simply, it is the difference between big skills and small skills in many games. Although the latter has lower damage, the consumption and CD are also lower.

Compared to Predestined Death, Black Flame will not directly deduct part of the enemy's maximum health while burning the enemy.

And the black flame burns blood more slowly.

The most important thing is that when a target is continuously affected by Destined Death, the blood-burning effect of Destined Death can be stacked, but Black Flame cannot be stacked.

Even so, the Black Flame was a formidable force that could not be ignored, not much less powerful than the Destruction Fire that Lin Zhiyu controlled. The difference between the two was that the Destruction Fire dealt high fixed damage, including the damage caused by the burning effect.

Black Flame is particularly effective against targets with strong vitality.

Percentage true damage is noble!

Furthermore, from now on, Lin Zhiyu could cast the "Fire Lotus of Destruction" on his own. After all, he now controlled the Black Flame and a portion of the Fated Death, so he no longer had to summon Melina to borrow power like he had to do against Black.

……

Time flies by.

In the days that followed, Lin Zhiyu simply spent all his time in the Taimanin Universe, doing nothing more than having sex. Normally, even if the partner had a stunning figure and was incredibly pretty, one would get bored if they kept doing it, right?

But which woman around Lin Zhiyu doesn’t have a beautiful face and a devilish figure?

Don't get tired of talking about it.

Sometimes he even wishes he could learn the art of splitting himself into two, otherwise with so many wives, there would never be enough to go around!

However, this was just an unrealistic idea that occasionally appeared in Lin Zhiyu's mind and was quickly cut off by him.

It always feels weird to learn the art of cloning and then use it in difficult situations.

...I'm cheating on myself?

Forget it, the Dinghai Shenzhen is rare only if it is unique!

Of course, life is more than just bitterness.

At the invitation of Ashaji, Lin Zhiyu, Busujima Saeko, Ingrid, Aniloz...they all became "honorary instructors" of Wuche Academy, and would occasionally guide students and teach them some combat skills.

Those who are fortunate enough to receive instruction from honorary instructors like Lin Zhiyu are all talented students like Akiyama Rinko, Omine Nana, and Mizuki Yukikaze.

Lin Zhiyu was now a seasoned warrior. Although his skills weren't as good as those of a prodigy like Akiyama Rinko, his fighting style was straightforward, and he could outmaneuver skill with force.

To date, Lin Zhiyu has experienced countless extremely intense battles, many of which have left him on the brink of life and death. Therefore, all he can teach are the most practical, simple and direct methods to take the enemy's life, and the main focus is on ruthlessness.

Even Ashaji praised Lin Zhiyu after watching his lecture, and reminded all the students of Wuche who had taken a lesson from Lin Zhiyu to remember what he taught them.

Speaking of Ashaji, after having sex with Lin Zhiyu, she felt a little awkward only in the first few days.

Later, under Lin Zhiyu's active attack, she quickly accepted the fact, and even told Lin Zhiyu that a dangerous profession like Taimanin is not suitable for starting a family. After all, evil demons can do anything, and starting a family for Taimanin can easily bring disaster to his family.

But if the target is Lin Zhiyu, these troubles will be solved.

Even if she didn't start a family with Lin Zhiyu and they were just lovers, Ashaji thought about it carefully and felt that it was not unacceptable. As for the reason, Lin Zhiyu asked her, but she did not answer Lin Zhiyu.

Could it be that Lin Zhiyu is so good that he always makes her feel so high up in the sky? Is she going to tell Lin Zhiyu about this too? Hum~~(￣^￣)

Yatsuyu's situation was similar to Asaki's. After agreeing to be Lin Zhiyu's girlfriend for a day, she immediately approached Lin Zhiyu with an axe, claiming to chop off his head. However, she was easily subdued by Lin Zhiyu and accepted the "defeat penalty."

The cute teacher Xiao Zi fought again and again despite repeated defeats, and finally collapsed under the punishment of repeated defeats, and completely turned into the shape of Lin Zhiyu~~

Ever since Astaroth obtained Lin Zhiyu's consent and felt he had a chance to control Fated Death, he had been trying every possible way to obtain it. The Hell Flame Clan had a deep heritage and many treasures, but nothing could compare to Fated Death.

Astaroth wanted to pile up the treasures and exchange them for the Fated Death with Melina, but Melina refused. This was because Melina did not want to share the power of the Fated Death with Astaroth in the first place, not to mention that she was not interested in the things Astaroth offered in exchange.

Finally, Astaroth had no other choice but to harass Lin Zhiyu day after day. He really wanted to sit on Lin Zhiyu and break his waist.

But the destined death belongs to Melina, and Melina doesn't want to share it with Astaroth. Lin Zhiyu doesn't want to make decisions on his own, so he simply brings Astaroth and Melina together, and agrees that the black flame will only be shared with Astaroth.

Anyway, the Black Flame is a weakened manifestation of Fated Death, originally derived from Fated Death. If Astaroth is truly capable, then he should find a way to upgrade the Black Flame himself! Whether it is upgrading the Black Flame directly to Fated Death or upgrading it to something else comparable to Fated Death.

In short, time passed day by day, and Lin Zhiyu lived a pretty happy life during this period.

But as time goes by, the next time we enter the infinite world is getting closer and closer.

Before that, Lin Zhiyu still had a very, very, very important thing to accomplish...

Will make up for it tomorrow

As the title says, I’ll make up for today’s update tomorrow!

Make it up tomorrow. ......!

Chapter 38 Holding Your Hand

As the "honorary mentors" of Wuche College, Lin Zhiyu and others were also assigned their own residence in the college.

Early that morning, Lin Zhiyu came to Saeko's room. Saeko had just woken up, so the two had breakfast together.

The residences assigned to them by the academy all had independent kitchens and bathrooms, and Saeko, whether intentionally or unintentionally, didn't even wear a bra after getting up. She only wore a pair of panties and an apron, and then started busying herself in the kitchen.

No man can resist the allure of a naked apron.

Looking at Saeko busy in the kitchen, with her smooth back, snow-white buttocks and slender legs completely exposed to the air, Lin Zhiyu almost couldn't hold back and almost went over to eat Saeko first.

But Lin Zhiyu really endured it until Saeko finished making breakfast and brought it to the table. Just as Lin Zhiyu was about to start eating, Saeko said softly:

"Ayu, is there something on your mind?"

"Ah? No, what could I have on my mind?" Lin Zhiyu looked at Saeko in confusion, not understanding why Saeko suddenly asked him this.

Saeko, who was wearing a nude apron with most of her skin exposed to the air, blinked but didn't say anything else.

After breakfast, when Saeko finished washing the dishes, Lin Zhiyu asked her to take a shower. This obviously made Saeko have some fantasies, but since they were already an "old married couple", Saeko didn't hesitate and immediately went into the bathroom, washing herself to the sound of running water.

When she finished her shower, dried her hair, and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and into the living room, she found that Lin Zhiyu had already placed clothes for her to change on the sofa: a pair of denim shorts, a white belly-baring vest, and a set of white lace bra and panties. Overall, it was very simple.

Lin Zhiyu's unusual behavior made Saeko look at him a few more times. Although she still changed into the clothes that Lin Zhiyu found for her and put on a pair of high-heeled sandals, she couldn't help but confirm with Lin Zhiyu again, wondering if he was hiding something from her.

"No~ I just want to take you somewhere." Lin Zhiyu approached Saeko, put one hand around the back of Saeko's neck, and placed it on Saeko's smooth shoulders.

Saeko, who usually dresses relatively conservatively when going out, looked down at her own belly with a clear waistline, and her thighs which were 80% exposed to the air because she was wearing shorts, and asked Lin Zhiyu if it was really okay to go out dressed like this?

Well... Lin Zhiyu didn't even need to mention it specifically, Saeko actually paid attention to the issue of revealing clothing herself.
