The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"This is a world corrupted by evil gods."

P.S.: Does anyone know where I can watch Konosuba?

Chapter Ten: Dad and Mom

In this heavily polluted and chaotic world teeming with demons, humans still exist, but as time goes by, their numbers are dwindling.

While hiding from those indescribable things, one is swallowed by the shadow beneath one's feet; teeth grow from one's own palms and devour one's own body; all the internal organs and body parts develop self-awareness and automatically separate to seek freedom, leaving only a lonely head... Everything is like the deepest nightmare in hell.

In such a terrifying environment, it's already quite remarkable if one can still maintain the most basic rationality. However, after being in such an environment for a long time, the body and even the consciousness will be completely assimilated into this world. This transformation is inevitable.

In the end, this world will fall into complete depravity, just like the mythical world of mountains and seas that Shi Bai once visited. All beings in the world, including their bodies, minds, and even consciousness, will forever become the followers of the evil god.

"Is it that disgusting? If we're not even allowed to see it, how are we supposed to deal with this kind of thing?"

Carefully following behind Shi Bai, Yakumo Yukari's words carried a hint of disbelief.

"Just hearing the voice, hearing the name, seeing the face..."

"That's because we can't understand them. Evil gods aren't scary; it's just that their racial talents are quite bizarre. Humans can't comprehend the existence of evil gods, but I can give you a rough description of what an evil god is."

As he walked along the street, Shi Bai answered.

"In fact, the humans in this world are basically transforming into the evil god race. They are a newly born race, and in a sense, they have already broken away from the human level and evolved towards a higher level of life. They can be considered very lucky."

"……Lucky?"

As if seeing a ghost, Yukari Yakumo felt intense physical and psychological discomfort just looking at a large group of human body parts that could make up a complete human body, such as scalp, teeth, eyes, muscles, and heart, slowly crawling on the ground.

"You call it luck that those humans turned into these inhuman, ghostly forms?!"

"Compared to the lowest-ranking clans, they are indeed very lucky. You haven't seen what the true forms of the Mysterious Immortals in the World of Mysterious Immortals look like. Otherwise, you would definitely think that what you are seeing now is actually quite cute."

Shi Bai turned his head and glanced at Yakumo Yukari.

"The reason we say they are lucky is because they have the qualifications to become evil gods. They can leap from an ordinary human to the ranks of evil gods, even if it is only the lowest level. What else is that but luck?"

"So all evil gods look so... bizarre?"

Yukari Yakumo's face had turned somewhat pale.

"These can only be considered the lowest level; they only possess some concepts of evil gods."

He casually handed over a pair of sunglasses, his words brief and to the point.

"Every part of their bodies is now composed of countless thinking beings. Countless chaotic, distorted, violent, evil, and disordered thoughts will form a tyrannical mental pressure. This makes the being impossible to look at directly, understand, or hear. Any ordinary person who sees its shape or hears its voice will instantly go crazy and collapse... If you don't want your SAN value to drop to zero, wear sunglasses."

"...I hate this awful world."

Yukari Yakumo obediently took the sunglasses and put them on, muttering something under her breath.

"Most worlds with an evil god worldview are like this."

Shi Bai shrugged.

"If among these beings, someone can persuade those organs to be pieced together into a complete human body through their own power, although the existence composed of countless organ organisms is a chaotic and evil collection of thoughts, incapable of giving birth to its own unified wisdom, but rather an extremely distorted chaotic combination that emits thousands of chaotic screams and thousands of thoughts at all times, it already possesses the most basic characteristics of an evil god... The opportunity to leap to the heavens and become an evil god is rare, isn't that lucky?"

"This kind of luck..."

Although she really wanted to refute it, after thinking for a long time, Yukari Yakumo still couldn't find any words to refute it.

"In short, you can think of it this way: the reason why these low-level evil gods are unbearable to look at is because they're too ugly, and looking at them will give you nightmares. But high-level evil gods are different, especially those anthropomorphized evil gods, like Cthulhu-chan, Nyaruko-chan, and Bubble-chan..."

With a serious expression, he gave a thumbs-up, his face showing a look of wistful reminiscence.

In short, it's just one word: awesome!!!

Yukari Yakumo: "??????"

............................................................

Goodbye, Mom. I'm setting sail tonight. Don't worry about me, because I have a warm and happy home.

Silently watching his heart leap from his chest and joyfully rush outside, Lin Mu remained expressionless.

Nearly three months have passed since he transmigrated to this bizarre world. During these three months, he has watched helplessly as his organs, one by one, develop their own thoughts and break away from him... He finds this all incredibly absurd.

That's right, he was a time traveler. Before his time travel, he was an ordinary college student. He died the first time he tried to save a little girl from being hit by a car, and was transported to this strange world.

Time travel is a fantasy in everyone's heart. After all, it is said that every time traveler is a chosen one. No matter how you were doing before you traveled, as long as you travel, it won't be long before you become a CEO, marry a beautiful and rich woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Lin Mu thought so too, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The world he transmigrated to... is fucking toxic!!!

At first, the world was normal, and he obtained the legendary cheat that every transmigrator must have. But before he could properly study his cheat, terrifying anomalies occurred all over the world.

At first, the news reported on incidents of cell phones eating people, but later it evolved into stories of chairs eating people, sofas eating people, and so on. When, during an emergency live news broadcast, the beautiful news anchor was literally eaten piece by piece by her own hand, the whole world went into chaos.

Lin Mu was relatively lucky and didn't become one of the first unfortunate victims. However, with the mutations happening all over the world getting worse, he couldn't stop anything and could only choose to hide himself like most people.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people remained on the streets, while hordes of bizarre organ-like creatures appeared in increasing numbers. Eventually, even the food began to develop its own consciousness. Lin Mu had once witnessed the terrifying scene of a dozen golden-brown, crispy roast ducks feasting on a survivor... The survivor couldn't eat the ducks as fast as the ducks could eat him.

...This world is completely finished.

After discovering that he too had undergone those terrifying mutations, Lin Mu resigned himself to his fate. However, perhaps due to the cheat code he had acquired during his transmigration, although his body had also mutated, the detached organs did not attack him. Instead, they cheerfully greeted him like a series of silly sculptures.

—For example, his heart, which had been humming a song and then joyfully running towards the road to freedom.

...Who the hell is your mother?!

Lin Mu didn't know what the future held, but he was currently trying to rebuild his body. With the help of his cheat ability, Lin Mu felt that there was still a lot of hope.

The cheat system he was born with was called the [Random Skill System]. As the name suggests, this system would refresh a skill for him to use every day at midnight. The skill could only be used for one day, after which it would disappear. However, he could spend system points to buy the permanent right to use the skill.

This system sounds great, but the problem is that most of the skills it refreshes every day are useless abilities...

[Farting: The sound of a fart can be amplified 100 times.]

【Thousand Years of Death: A Thousand Years of Death attack with a 100% success rate against a designated target.】

[100% chance of being caught bare-handed in close combat: When using bladed weapons, there is a 100% chance of being caught bare-handed in close combat.]

Mind reading: The other person can know everything you're thinking.

[A repeater: The next sentence you utter will be repeated by the designated target.]

A smile that hides a dagger: A smile can conceal a knife.

[Leaving your hometown: You can carry the well from your hometown on your back and take it with you.]

[Mathematician: When you have two glasses of water at 50 degrees Celsius, you can add them together to get one glass of water at 100 degrees Celsius.]

[Best Employee: You can always clock in at the last second before you're late.]

[Ordinary Person: Among the group of superpowered individuals, you are an ordinary person.]

[Vortex Lord: You can make the water in the toilet keep spinning forever.]

[Turning into poop: You can turn food into poop.]

[Food Transformation: You can turn poop into food.]

........................

That's right. In three months, with ninety refresh opportunities, most of the refreshed skills are basically the same.

Some skills are indeed very useful, such as [100% chance to be caught by a blade barehanded], but some skills are completely meaningless, such as [farting].

To be honest, when the first refresh revealed the [Turn to Shit] skill, Lin Mu was filled with despair. However, after experiencing so much and surviving in this hellish world for three months, even now lying motionless in a small house by the riverbank for nearly seven or eight days, Lin Mu felt that there was still a chance to save him.

Driven by the anticipation of the skills that refreshed precisely at midnight every day, he stubbornly persevered, even though almost all of his internal organs, except for his liver, had practically left him.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu picked up a mirror and cheered himself on in front of it.

"Linmu, may you stay true to yourself, live earnestly, laugh freely, and leave gracefully. As for the roads you've traveled, the people you've lost, the painful memories—just don't look back... Just do it! Go for it!!!"

The style suddenly changes in the last sentence.

Perhaps due to some mutations he himself has undergone, he no longer needs to fast. Although his leg has run away from home and hasn't returned yet, leaving him unable to move, he is still living a relatively comfortable life thanks to the permanent skills he purchased with system points in the past. At least he is better off than most other survivors—if you ignore the organs that occasionally run away from home back then.

That's right. Although the world has become like this, there are still survivor groups in this world. They are very lucky that their bodies have not mutated. They stick together and survive in this world with difficulty. Just two days ago, Lin Mu met a few survivors who came here together to look for supplies.

The survivors came into the house to take a look. After seeing him mutated, they shook their heads with pity. They didn't say anything or have any intention of talking to him. Instead, they simply left. He couldn't even exchange information with them.

To be honest, Lin Mu felt somewhat gratified, at least there were other people in the world besides himself, but he couldn't be happy no matter what, given his current situation.

"Hopefully, a better skill will be available tomorrow..."

Lin Mu placed a pillow under his head and looked out at the gloomy sky through the half-torn curtains, appearing rather melancholy for a moment.

The refresh of skills is completely unpredictable, or rather, the only pattern is that the skills that refresh are all unconventional. Today, the skill he refreshed is called "Surprise Attempt." As the name suggests, just like the skills "Hidden Dagger in a Smile" and "Leaving Home," the ability of the "Surprise Attempt" skill allows him to take away any door in any place.

Based on his experience of getting the skills "Transform into Poop" and "Transform into Food" for the previous two days, he strongly suspected that he might get a skill called "Break Down the Door" tomorrow...

"At least give us one with an 'immortal body' like Father Shi, or even Mother Zi's 'manipulation of realms' ability. This system is so hard to beat, doesn't it have any safety net skills? Seriously... Hmm, another survivor has arrived?"

Just as Lin Mu was idly lost in thought, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Eleven: So I was a sacrifice after all...

Happiness sometimes comes unexpectedly.

For example, finding a considerable sum of money in clothes that haven't been worn in a long time. For example, unexpectedly running into an old friend you've lost contact with for a long time on the street... or for example, Lin Mu has finally encountered a survivor again.

Since his legs suddenly took on their own and ran away from him more than ten days ago, Lin Mu's biggest wish while hiding in this small wooden house is to find out that there is still a survivor base.

Otherwise, even if he could reassemble his body, everyone else in the world except himself would have become that kind of monster. How desperate would it be for someone to walk alone in such a severely alienated world?

Although a few survivors came to him a few days ago, Lin Mu could clearly see at that time that those survivors actually didn't have much time left to live. Slight mutations had already occurred in those survivors... just like he had been before.

"I hope I don't scare them like this..."

Looking down at his body, which was now only half its original size, Lin Mu gave a bitter smile.

It was as if a Lego brick figure had been ruthlessly smashed in half, with countless bricks flying everywhere. Lin Mu felt like he was one of those broken bricks. Although there was no blood or internal organs flowing out because all his organs and tissues had become sentient, he now looked even stranger.

Even if I manage to reassemble my body in the end, will I still be human at that point?

Hmm...maybe I could even cosplay as a Devil Fruit user who ate the Chop-Chop Fruit...Have you ever seen a Devil Fruit user whose internal organs can fly around, and who can also sing, dance, and play basketball?

Just as Lin Mu was lost in thought, the door of the wooden house in front of him was pushed open with a creaking sound. Coming back to his senses, Lin Mu looked up and gave the person who came in a friendly smile.

"Hello everyone, don't let my current appearance fool you, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Mu froze, staring at the two people who walked into the room one after the other.

Before transmigrating, Lin Mu wasn't exactly a fan of anime, but he often watched videos or followed anime on video websites. Shortly before he transmigrated to this world due to a car accident, a new anime series focusing on lighthearted slice-of-life yuri became the most popular anime for several months. It was so popular that even he, who didn't usually like watching these kinds of shows, became familiar with every character that appeared in it.

The new anime is called "Gensokyo no Nichijou" (Daily Life in Gensokyo). It features Reimu Hakurei, a shrine maiden from the Hakurei Shrine, as the protagonist. It tells the daily stories of the gods, youkai, and humans living in Gensokyo, a place where fantasy and reality coexist.

Because of its novel concept, excellent production quality, and the unique characteristics and distinct personalities of the cute girls who appeared, it quickly became a sensation.

Since almost all the characters appearing are cute girls, it's only natural that most of the male characters suffer persecution to varying degrees. For example, there's a certain village chief who has to die, the sister-complex Saint Minglian, the granddaughter-complex old man Youji... plus a certain ultimate lolicon, Shibaba.

The reason why Toki is called Toki's father is because netizens have deduced from the conversation between a certain lolicon and Yukari's mother that this ultimate lolicon who claims to be forever 18 years old is probably older than the combined ages of everyone in Gensokyo...

Lin Mu had previously fantasized about whether his system could refresh a time-travel skill to allow him to travel to Gensokyo. However, he never expected that in this alienated world, he would encounter the most mysterious lolicon in Gensokyo, whose origins were unknown and whose background was the least described... If he were to call her "Toki-ba" now, would he be beaten to death?

Oh, behind Toki's dad is a girl who looks like she's still young. As expected of the ultimate lolicon who is known as the worst, he doesn't even spare Yuki's mom... If Yuki is still a girl now, then Gensokyo probably hasn't been established yet?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Mu's mind.

"...Are you sure he's still alive?"

After glancing at Lin Mu, whose body was now only half-dead on the ground, Yakumo Yukari quickly turned her head away, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"He looks like just an ordinary person. Do you really think he can achieve the Evil God Body?"

"The chances of success are about 50%, which is already the highest."

Shrugging, Shi Bai looked at the tree lying on the ground and squatted down in front of it with great interest.

"Hello, may I borrow your system to take a look?"

forest:"………"

...Was I discovered? I knew it! Luckily, Dad doesn't seem to have any mind-reading abilities, and he's usually quite reasonable... Damn it! Why didn't the "transform into a loli" skill appear in the system?!
