Zongman: The strongest on earth, Kaguya pushed me down at the beginning

Lin Mo accidentally traveled to the world of Zongman, and from the beginning he possessed the strongest power on earth.

Shinomiya Kaguya: “Lin Mojun, will you marry me?”

Yukinoshita Yukino: “What exactly is the so-called real thing? Please tell me, Lin Mojun!”

Esdeath: “Lin Mo, I will make you my man!”

Just like that, Lin Mo’s life, which could be described as a romantic comedy, began!

Zongman: The strongest on earth, Kaguya pushed me down at the beginning
Chapter 1: The transfer student’s shocking declaration
The early morning sun shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the priceless Persian carpet.
The air was filled with the aroma of premium black tea and toast.
Lin Mo sat on the soft leather sofa, watching the boring morning news on the LCD TV in front of him with an expressionless face.
He doesn’t need sleep, so he usually uses this method to pass the transition from night to day.
Dressed in an elegant maid outfit, Hayasaka Ai placed a perfect breakfast on the low table in front of him like the most precise machine.
Her movements were impeccable and she had a professional smile on her face, but her lowered eyes revealed a deep sense of awe and curiosity.
She simply couldn’t understand what kind of man this man was who had infatuated Miss Kaguya.
The doorbell rang on time.
Hayasaka Ai went to open the door, and standing at the door was Yukinoshita Yukino.
She was wearing the Sobu High School uniform today, with a thin off-white sweater on the outside. Her straight and slender calves were wrapped in black stockings, and she exuded a cool and aloof aura that kept strangers away.
“I’m here to pick up Lin Mojun to go to school together.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s tone was flat, as if she was stating an established fact.
“Good morning, Ms. Yukinoshita.”
Hayasaka Ai bowed and made way for the passage, “Master Lin Mo and the eldest lady are having breakfast.”
Yukinoshita Yukino walked into the entrance hall, her eyes passing directly across the huge living room and falling on Lin Mo.
At the same time, Kaguya Shinomiya walked out from the restaurant. She was also wearing a school uniform, but every detail showed signs of being well-groomed, and on her face was a perfect smile that belonged to the heir of the Shinomiya family.
“Yukinoshita-san, you are so punctual. Are you worried that without your supervision, Lin Mo-jun will be eaten by an ‘evil woman’ like me?”
There was a hint of playful aggression in Shinomiya Kaguya’s words, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Mo, as if she was confirming whether her belongings were safe.
“Shinomiya-san is overthinking.”
Yukinoshita Yukino walked up to Lin Mo and naturally picked up the schoolbag next to him.
“I was just doing my duty as a ‘neighbor’.
Besides, I think I know Lin Mojun’s taste better than you.”
The word “neighbor” was spoken lightly, but with an unquestionable closeness.
Ever since Lin Mo moved into this high-end apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino, who originally lived here, automatically gained a certain geographical priority.
A silent war quietly unfolds in the luxurious living room.
Lin Mo, the center of their contention, didn’t even raise his eyelids.
He stood up, ignoring the lunch box prepared by Hayasaka Ai, and also ignored the look from Shinomiya Kaguya suggesting that they take the special car together, and walked straight to the door.
Yukinoshita Yukino followed immediately.
Shinomiya Kaguya’s smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. She winked at Hayasaka Ai and quickly followed.
A moment later, an extended version of the Rolls-Royce and a low-key Lexus drove out of the apartment gate almost at the same time, one after the other, heading towards Sobu High School.
When we arrived at the school, this weird atmosphere continued.
Lin Mo walked in the middle, and Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya were like the most elite left and right guards, isolating him from the whole world.
The students around were already accustomed to this scene. They consciously made way for him, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy, jealousy and deep fear.
They didn’t know Lin Mo’s background, they only knew that this man had won the favor of the two top goddesses at Sobu High School, the Snow Queen Yukinoshita and the daughter of the Shinomiya Group, Kaguya Shinomiya.
Any male creature that tries to get close to him or them will end up in a miserable state.
Walking into the classroom of Class J of Grade 2, the noisy pre-class chatter came to an abrupt end.
Everyone’s eyes gathered around him, and then looked away as if they had been electrocuted. Lin Mo walked straight to his seat by the window, which seemed like a throne. There was no one within three meters around him.
The seats of Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya are located at the edge of this area.
“Lin Mojun, this is the ancient text annotation I compiled last night. It may be useful to you.”
Yukinoshita Yukino put down her schoolbag and handed over a notebook.
“Student Lin Mo, I asked Hayasaka to bring back a refreshing aromatherapy from overseas. Do you want me to light it for you?”
Shinomiya Kaguya took out an exquisite white porcelain incense burner with an elegant smile.
Lin Mo did not respond. He just looked out the window, seemingly uninterested in everything.
This extreme indifference made the two girls more competitive. They both believed that whoever could truly break through the man’s defenses first would be the ultimate winner.
Just then, the class bell rang.
The homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, walked into the classroom with heavy steps. She seemed to be in a bad mood today and had dark circles under her eyes.
She slammed the lesson plan on the podium, making a loud noise.
“Everyone be quiet. Before class starts, I have an announcement to make.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka’s eyes swept across the class, and she deliberately stayed on Lin Mo’s seat for half a second longer, “There is a transfer student in our class today.
Everyone should get along well with her.”
There was a slight commotion in the classroom.
Transfer students, especially during this period, always become a hot topic.
The classroom door was opened and a figure walked in slowly.
The moment the girl stepped into the classroom, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop by several degrees.
She has waist-length ice-blue hair and skin so white it’s almost transparent.
Her facial features were as delicate as a sculpture of an ice goddess, but what was most striking was her eyes, which were also ice-blue.
There wasn’t a trace of normal human emotion in it, only pure, condescending scrutiny and an almost cruel indifference.
She was wearing the Sobu High School uniform, but she didn’t feel bound by the school rules at all. Instead, she looked like a queen wearing a maid’s clothes, which was out of place.
The boys in the class, including Hayato Hayama who always thought highly of himself, were all stunned.
Their breath was taken away and their minds went blank.
“Ahem.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed twice, trying to draw the students’ attention back, “This is Esdeath.
Esdeath, please introduce yourself to everyone.”
However, Esdeath didn’t even look at the teacher on the podium, or even at any of the students in the audience who were captivated by her charm.
Her gaze, like a precise locking missile, crossed the entire classroom and was firmly fixed on the bored man in the corner.
In her world, the weak have no right to be noticed.
In this classroom, no, in this school, only that man made her feel a sense of “kindness”. A kind of unfathomable power that she had never felt before.
Esdeath moved.
She ignored Shizuka Hiratsuka and the entire class who were standing in a daze.
She stretched out her long legs, her high-heeled leather shoes stepping on the floor, making a crisp and rhythmic sound, and walked towards Lin Mo’s position step by step.
Everyone held their breath and watched this amazing scene.
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned tightly, she felt a strong threat.
The aura of this transfer student made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The smile on Kaguya Shinomiya’s face had long disappeared, replaced by an emotion called vigilance, and her intuition was frantically sounding the alarm.
Under everyone’s gaze, Esdeath stopped in front of Lin Mo’s desk.
She was not at all shy or hesitant. She simply leaned down and put her flawless face in front of Lin Mo. They were so close that they could almost feel each other’s breath.
A cold breath with a strange sweet fragrance enveloped Lin Mo.
Then, she declared every word in an unquestionable tone, as if the queen was issuing an edict.
“From today on, you are my man.”
The words fell.
The entire Class J of the second year was dead silent.
You can hear a pin drop.
Shizuka Hiratsuka’s mouth opened into an O shape, she couldn’t believe her ears.
The whole class’s jaws almost dropped to the ground.
As for the two girls beside Lin Mo, Yukino Yukinoshita’s knuckles had turned white because of excessive force when holding the pen.
Kaguya Shinomiya placed her hands on her knees and clenched them into fists.
An unprecedented storm has begun.

Lin Mo didn’t even raise an eyebrow at that shocking statement.
He just felt that the new woman was very noisy. Her voice, her breath, and her self-righteous attitude all interfered with his enjoyment of the peace and quiet.
He waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.
This extremely simple action is shocking to others.
Faced with such a stunning confession, this is how he reacted?
For the first time, a hint of surprise flashed across Esdeath’s ice-blue eyes.
She had imagined countless possible reactions from Lin Mo: shock, ecstasy, confusion, and even vigilance.
But I never thought that it would be such pure and heartfelt disregard.
It was as if her existence and her declarations meant nothing to him.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, but at the same time she felt an unprecedented desire to conquer.
“Teacher, my seat is right here.”
Esdeath stood up, pointed at the empty seat next to Lin Mo, and gave instructions directly to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
That seat originally belonged to a timid boy, but under Lin Mo’s “aura”, he had already taken the initiative to move to the other end of the classroom.
Cold sweat broke out on Shizuka Hiratsuka’s forehead. She felt that her dignity as a teacher was being repeatedly trampled upon.
But looking at Esdeath’s emotionless eyes, the words of rebuttal got stuck in her throat and she couldn’t say them.
She had a feeling that if she refused, the girl would do something irreparable.
In the end, she could only squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: “It’s up to you.”
As a result, the power structure centered on Lin Mo that had been formed since the beginning of the school year was forcibly torn apart.
Esdeath placed her schoolbag on the empty seat as if it was a matter of course and sat down next to Lin Mo, completely ignoring the gazes from Yukinoshita and Shinomiya on the other side that almost froze the air.
For the entire morning, the second-year J class was shrouded in a strange low pressure.
No one could concentrate on the class; everyone’s attention was focused on that corner of the classroom.
There, Lin Mo was looking out the window as usual, while the three stunning girls around him were staging a war without the smoke of gunpowder.
Yukinoshita Yukino’s coldness is almost materializing, there is a knife hidden in Shinomiya Kaguya’s smile, and the newcomer Esdeath keeps looking at her “possession” with an undisguised and aggressive gaze.
Finally, the lunch break bell rang.
Lin Mo stood up the moment the bell rang. He didn’t want to stay in this suffocating place for even a second.
He needed to find some quiet time.
The moment he left his seat, the three girls stood up almost at the same time.
But Lin Mo was faster.
He did not take the normal passage, but went straight through a narrow gap by the window. His figure was like a ghost, and he disappeared at the classroom door in the blink of an eye.
“Where does he want to go?”
Esdeath narrowed her eyes.
“The rooftop.”
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya answered almost in unison.
That was the place Lin Mo went most often to avoid the crowd.
Before he finished speaking, the two of them had already chased after him.
Esdeath sneered and followed.
On the stairs leading to the rooftop, the students only felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing past, and three girls who were too perfect to be real quickly passed by them, leaving behind a series of astonished glances.
The door to the rooftop was slammed open.
Lin Mo was leaning on the railing, enjoying the cool breeze from high above.
He closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing.
The footsteps came closer and closer, and he knew who was coming without opening his eyes.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya were on his left and right, as if they had telepathic connection, trapping him in the middle and cutting off all his routes of retreat.
“Lin Mojun.”
Yukinoshita Yukino spoke first, her voice colder than the wind on the rooftop.
“I think you need an explanation. About that transfer student.”
“explain?”
Lin Mo didn’t even open his eyes, “What do I need to explain.
A person who has nothing to do with me said something that has nothing to do with me.”
“It has nothing to do with you?”
Shinomiya Kaguya took a step forward. The perfume she sprayed today had an aggressive citrus scent, which was now invading Lin Mo’s nasal cavity.
“The whole school is in turmoil because of you, but now you say it has nothing to do with you? Lin Mojun, your irresponsible attitude really bothers me.”
Her voice was melodious and sweet, but every word she spoke was like a tiny needle piercing one’s heart.
Lin Mo finally opened his eyes. He glanced at the two of them with an indifferent look, without a trace of emotion.
“I don’t need to be responsible to anyone for my affairs.”
This sentence completely ignited the fuse.
“Yeah?”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s chest rose and fell slightly. She rarely had such drastic emotional fluctuations.
“So, you don’t need to be responsible for eating this lunch box?”
She carried an exquisite lunch box, which contained sandwiches and vegetable salads that she had carefully prepared according to the strictest nutritional sciences and Lin Mo’s taste preferences.
“What a coincidence, I also prepared lunch for Lin Mojun.”
Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and opened an even more luxurious multi-layered food box, which contained top-quality Wagyu beef, deep-sea tuna sashimi, and even a small portion of dessert decorated with gold foil.
This is no longer a bento, but a Michelin restaurant-level Kaiseki meal.
“He doesn’t like greasy things.”
Yukinoshita Yukino said coldly.
“It’s good for your health to change your taste occasionally. It’s not good to always eat cold food without nutrition.”
Shinomiya Kaguya refused to give in.
Choosing whose lunch box to eat has, on this occasion, become a political issue.
It represents a gesture, a tendency.
Lin Mo looked at the two food boxes in front of him and felt that it was more troublesome than facing an army.
He chose to ignore it.
He looked past the two of them and behind them.
There, Esdeath was folding her arms, watching the farce with interest.
There was a mocking smile on her lips, as if she was watching two female birds grooming each other’s feathers in competition for a mate but not daring to take action.
“What a peaceful farce.”
Esdeath walked slowly towards them, and every step she took carried an invisible sense of oppression.
“It’s ridiculous to use something as weak as food to determine a man’s ownership.”
She walked up to Lin Mo and looked at him with burning eyes.
“A strong man will only choose a stronger female. And the strength of a female needs to be proven through fighting.”
She stretched out her fingers and pointed at Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya respectively.
“You two, come together, or one at a time.”
Her voice was not loud, but the arrogance and fighting spirit contained in it made the air on the entire rooftop freeze.
“The winner takes it all. The loser”
The corner of Esdeath’s mouth curved into a cruel arc.
“Just get out of his world like garbage.”
On the rooftop, war is about to break out.

Chapter 3: Meaningless Pressure (Old Version)
Esdeath’s declaration was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.
The expressions of Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya changed at the same time.
They are all blessed daughters of heaven and have never been subjected to such direct and brutal provocation.
“fighting?”
Yukinoshita Yukino sneered, and the temperature of the air around her began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the ground, a thin layer of frost quickly spread around, centered on her feet.
This is the power she possessed after her bloodline as a descendant of the Snow Maiden awakened, pure power of freezing.
“Using violence to solve problems is the lowest form of means.”
Shinomiya Kaguya’s eyes became deep, she raised her hand slightly, and an invisible spiritual wave spread out.
This is the spiritual decree of power that has been passed down through countless generations of marriages and secret arts in the Shinomiya family.
It can affect the judgment of those with weak minds and even directly manipulate their behavior.
On the rooftop, two completely different supernatural powers began to confront each other.
On one side is the extreme physical coldness, and on the other side is the weird mental interference.
In the face of all this, Esdeath’s smile became even brighter.
She felt the two forces, but to her, it was just children’s play.
“Oh? So you’re not a completely powerless weakling.”
She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips gently, a subconscious action when she was excited.
The fighting blood in her body began to boil.
A chill far purer and more domineering than that of Yukinoshita Yukino burst out from her body.
This is not the power of blood, but the absolute zero brought by her imperial weapon “Demon God Appearance·Essence of Demon” which she honed through killing countless dangerous species and in the sea of ​​blood and corpses.
With just a collision of breath, the ice released by Yukinoshita Yukino made a “crackling” sound under the heavy weight and began to break into pieces.
Her face turned pale and she felt unprecedented pressure.
The moment Kaguya Shinomiya’s spiritual decree came into contact with Esdeath’s spiritual world, it disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.
The opponent’s mental barrier was as solid as a wall built of diamonds and ice. It even bounced back with a cold murderous intent, causing a sharp pain in her temple.
The difference is obvious.
“Too weak.”
Esdeath shook her head, somewhat disappointed.
“At this level, you are not even qualified to warm me up.”
She raised her hand, palm upward, and a long sword made of pure ice, flashing with cold light, began to condense.
The huge fluctuations of magical power caused the air on the entire rooftop to begin to distort.
Both Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya felt a fatal threat.
They knew that if this sword fell, they would die.
However, just as Esdeath was about to swing her sword.
Lin Mo, who had been silent all this time, finally took action.
He didn’t make long speeches, nor did he start with any fancy moves.
He just sighed softly.
The sigh was very light, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
As if with some strange magic, the tense atmosphere was suddenly stagnant.
Then he stretched out a slender index finger and tapped the hard concrete floor casually and lightly.
Boom.
The sound was not loud, like a drop of water falling into a deep pool.
Next second.
The whole world seemed to have pressed the mute button.
Something has arrived that cannot be described in any language, cannot be detected by any instrument, and cannot be understood by any theory.
It is not coercion, it is not momentum, it is not murderous intent, it is not magic power, and it is not mental power.
Those concepts seem too superficial and low-level in the face of this kind of thing.
This is the weight of existence itself.
It is the singularity at the beginning of the universe, the end of the long river of time, and the root of the law of causality.
It is the indifferent, eternal, and emotionless gaze of God as he overlooks the multiverse.
Under this line of sight, everything is just dust.
The long sword made of pure ice in Esdeath’s hand silently decomposed into the most primitive particles the moment it took shape and dissipated into the air.
The power of the imperial weapon that she was so proud of was instantly silenced, like a faucet with its source cut off.
The arrogance and excitement on her face were completely replaced by an emotion called “fear” that came from her genes and the deepest part of her soul. Her body was stiff, her blood was frozen, and her mind was stagnant.
She felt that she was no longer a general who fought on the battlefield, but a fly nailed in amber, deprived of even the right to move her wings.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya felt it more directly. The power they held was completely wiped out before this existence, and they couldn’t even think of resisting.
The bloodline and secret skills they were so proud of seemed like a joke. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, not because of the cold, but because of the most instinctive trembling after their life level was absolutely crushed.
The entire rooftop fell into a dead silence that went beyond silence.
The wind stopped, the clouds stopped, the sounds disappeared, and even the light seemed to become sluggish.
The only one who could move was Lin Mo.
He slowly withdrew the finger, as if he had just done something insignificant.
The sense of existence that made gods and demons submit to it also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
The rooftop returned to normal, the wind started to flow again, and the sun became warm again.
But the hearts of the three girls fell into a bottomless ice cave.
They looked at Lin Mo in horror, as if they were looking at a monster, a god, or the unknown itself.
Lin Mo turned around, turned his back to them, and leaned against the railing again.
He spoke slowly in a tone that was calm and almost cold.
“Stop it.”
“It disturbed my nap.”
The way back to the classroom from the rooftop was surprisingly quiet.
Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya and Esdeath, the three girls who were at loggerheads with each other not long ago, are now following Lin Mo silently, keeping a subtle distance from each other.
There was still a lingering sense of shock and fear on their faces.
Lin Mo’s casual knock on the rooftop completely overturned their worldview.
For the first time, Yukinoshita Yukino realized how fragile her rationality and power of ice and snow, which she was proud of, were in the face of a truly incomprehensible existence.
Her pride was shattered and her heart was filled with confusion.
Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking, her mind was her strongest weapon.
But at this moment, her super brain fell into unprecedented chaos.
She couldn’t analyze, couldn’t calculate, and couldn’t classify Lin Mo into any category she knew.
This feeling of being out of control made her feel both terrified and a little morbidly excited.
And Esdeath, the Ice Queen who worships strength and believes in the law of the jungle, has the most complicated feelings at this moment.
After the fear comes unparalleled fanaticism and worship.
She finally understood that what she was looking for was not an opponent who could match her, but an absolute “king” who could make her completely submit.
She found this man, more powerful than any god she could have imagined.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 4: The Ignored Student Council President (Old Version)
When the four of them returned to Class J of the second year, everyone in the classroom felt the change in the atmosphere.
If before there was tension among the three women competing for supremacy, now there was a suffocating silence surrounding Lin Mo.
The three girls no longer made any small movements. They just sat quietly in their seats, secretly observing with complicated eyes the man who continued to stare out the window in a daze as if nothing had happened.
The afternoon classes were spent in this strange atmosphere.
The ringing of the school bell seemed like a relief.
However, the trouble did not end there.
Just as Lin Mo was about to get up and leave, a figure blocked his way.
It’s Hayato Hayama.
He still had that bright and sunny smile that everyone loved, and he was accompanied by the core members of his group, Miura Yumiko and others. But if you look closely, you can see that his smile was a little stiff, and there was a hint of subtle beta tension in his eyes.
“Student Lin Mo, can I take up a moment of your time?”
Hayato Hayama tried his best to make his tone sound calm.
“I’m a member of the student council. We felt it necessary to talk to you about some of the things that happened today and recently.”
Behind him, Yumiko Miura crossed her arms and looked at Lin Mo with a scrutinizing gaze, then glanced contemptuously at Yukinoshita and Shinomiya beside him.
In her opinion, Lin Mo was just a lucky guy, and Hayato Hayama was the best man in the school.
“yes.”
Yumiko Miura spoke, her voice sharp.
“Hayato was thinking about the school’s discipline and morale.
Some people, don’t think that you can get carried away just because you have a few girls around you.
This is a school, not your harem.”
Her words were full of provocation.
When Yukinoshita Yukino heard this, her eyes turned cold and she was about to open her mouth to refute.
Shinomiya Kaguya even laughed out loud, and that smile was full of disdain and ridicule, as if she had heard the funniest joke of the century. How dare a mere ordinary human dare to preach to Lin Mo?
But they didn’t have time to act.
A lazier, yet deadly attractive voice came from the classroom door.
“Oh my god, it’s really lively here. Is there a student struggle meeting going on?”
Everyone looked over and saw a tall, curvaceous senior school girl leaning against the door frame.
She was wearing the school uniform of Sobu High School, but the skirt was a few centimeters shorter than the regulations, and two buttons of her shirt were undone, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her beautiful black hair was casually spread out, and she had a half-smile on her face.
She is a popular national idol, a third-year senior, Mai Sakurajima.
Her appearance instantly caught everyone’s attention.
There was a sound of people gasping in the classroom. Why did she come to the second grade classroom?
Mai Sakurajima ignored everyone’s surprise. Her gaze went straight through the crowd and fell on Lin Mo who was surrounded in the middle.
She stretched out her long legs, ignored Hayato Hayama who was blocking the way, and walked straight to Lin Mo’s desk.
Her movements are natural and fluid, as if the whole world is her stage.
Hayato Hayama was completely ignored by her, his face turned pale and blue, and he stood there awkwardly.
The popularity and status that he was proud of were worthless in front of Sakurajima Mai.
Mai Sakurajima leaned over and put the pretty face that drove countless fans crazy close to Lin Mo’s ear.
Her hair hung down, gently brushing Lin Mo’s cheek, causing a slight itch.
She spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, her breath as sweet as orchid, with a hint of ambiguous complaint.
“You’re really going to cause me trouble, my cute little brother. Even I heard about the commotion you made today.”
There was a hint of laughter in her voice.
“So, as punishment, come to my house tonight. You need to tell me everything.
A personal, detailed explanation. No taking no for an answer.”
After saying that, she stood up, winked at Lin Mo playfully, then turned around, leaving everyone with a graceful and charming back, and left leisurely.
From beginning to end, she didn’t even look at Hayato Hayama and the others.
Lin Mo, the man who had no reaction since Ye Shan appeared, finally moved after Sakurajima Mai left.
He raised his eyes and his gaze stayed on Hayato Hayama’s stiff face for half a second.
What kind of look was that?
There was no anger, no disdain, not even indifference.
It was a look that looked at the stones on the roadside and the dust in the air, pure and complete disregard.
Then he stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and walked straight past Hayato Hayama, as if he and this group of people did not exist at all.
Yukinoshita, Shinomiya, and Esdeath also stood up immediately and followed closely behind him like his most loyal guards.
The small group led by Hayato Hayama, who were left behind, looked extremely ugly.
They felt like a bunch of clowns whose carefully prepared sermons ended up being a farce that brought humiliation upon themselves.
Hayato Hayama clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He had never felt such frustration and humiliation before.
The school bell rang like a pardon, announcing the end of today’s classes.
Lin Mo stood up from his seat. His movements were slow, yet they carried with them an invisible force of gravity.
The eyes of all the students in the classroom, whether out of curiosity, awe or pure fear, subconsciously followed his figure.
In the short distance of a few meters from his seat to the back door of the classroom, the students in front of him automatically stepped aside like Moses parting the sea, leaving a wide passage.
They lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye, fearing that this silent man would, for any trivial reason, bring down his suffocating power like that on the rooftop.
Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya and Esdeath stood up almost at the same time, like three planets orbiting a star, maintaining a precise and subtle distance, and followed closely behind.
In the corridor, this strange silence continued. Lin Mo walked in front. His tall back was stretched out under the setting sun, looking lonely and powerful.
Yukinoshita Yukino walked behind him on the left, her heart still stirred by the aftermath of the scene on the rooftop.
That power beyond her understanding completely shattered the worldview she had built up over the past eighteen years, which was based on logic and rationality.
She has always believed that everything has its own rules and can be analyzed and mastered.
But Lin Mo’s existence itself is anti-logical and anti-rule.
Her mood at the moment was very complicated. The unwillingness after her pride was crushed was intertwined with the confusion after witnessing a corner of the unknown truth.
She realized that she could no longer treat him the same way she had in the past.
She must understand him and analyze him. This is no longer a simple emotion between a man and a woman, but a desire for knowledge and responsibility for the truth itself.
Chapter 5: Invitation to the Abyss (Old Version)
She stretched out her hand, wanting to brush away the non-existent dust on the collar of Lin Mo’s school uniform, but the moment her fingertips were about to touch, she paused because of the invisible sense of distance, and finally she just withdrew her hand silently.
Shinomiya Kaguya is behind him on the right. As the heir of the Shinomiya family, she has been instilled with the imperial science that everything can be controlled since she was a child.
In her eyes, money, power, and people’s hearts are just chips that can be calculated and manipulated.
Lin Mo is the first and only variable she has ever encountered in her life.
The experience on the rooftop made her experience powerlessness for the first time.
This feeling of powerlessness did not make her retreat, but instead aroused the more obsessive possessiveness hidden in her blood.
The more uncontrollable he is, the more precious he is.
He is the most perfect and unique treasure in the world, and only the Shinomiya family and only she, Shinomiya Kaguya, are qualified to own him.
She looked at Lin Mo’s back. The previous exploration and ease were no longer in her deep red eyes. Instead, there was an almost paranoid firmness.
She would use all resources and all means to completely brand this man with her own mark.
Esdeath followed at the end, her steps steady and her eyes scorching.
If Yukinoshita and Shinomiya saw the “unknown” and “treasure”, then what Esdeath saw was “faith” and “future”.
She believed in the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak all her life, and pursued the absolutely strong man who could make her tremble.
She thought she had reached the pinnacle of power until she met Lin Mo.
That man made her realize that in front of a true god, her so-called power was nothing more than the difference between hills and stars.
After that fear, there was incomparable, almost twisted ecstasy and worship.
She found it, she found the meaning of her existence, not to conquer the strong, but to serve a true and supreme king.
Her mission is no longer to compete with these childish girls, but to free her king from the quagmire called “daily life” and let him return to the throne full of blood and corpses that should belong to him.
Four people, four different thoughts, form a silent yet undercurrent picture.
Finally, they arrived at the school gate.
The setting sun burned the sky into a magnificent orange-red.
At the school gate where light and shadow interweave, a figure stands quietly, like a general waiting to review the troops.
Esdeath, she had changed out of her Sobu High School uniform at some point and replaced it with a pure white, well-tailored general’s uniform.
The golden ribbon, silver epaulettes, and the gorgeous saber at her waist made her exude an astonishing spirit that was a mixture of iron and majesty.
Her aura is out of tune with the peaceful campus environment, as if she is a goddess of war from an epic story in another world.
All the students around who had not yet left school were attracted by this amazing scene. They stopped and watched from afar.
Lin Mo stopped and looked at Esdeath in front of him, frowning slightly. He hated this kind of dramatic scene, which would bring unnecessary attention and trouble.
Just when everyone thought there would be a fierce confrontation, Esdeath did something that made everyone’s eyes drop.
She walked to a place ten steps away from Lin Mo, her eyes filled with unprecedented piety. Then, she put away her saber, knelt on one knee, put her right hand on her chest, and performed an extremely standard and solemn ancient knight’s salute to Lin Mo.
“I offer my sincerest apologies for my ignorance and arrogance during the day, my king.”
Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the silent school gate.
“king?”
“She knelt?”
“What is that transfer student doing? Is this some new way of confessing love?”
The discussions around were like a tide, and countless mobile phones lit up their screens in the dark, focusing on this scene, which could be said to be the biggest news of the year.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya’s faces instantly became extremely ugly.
Esdeath’s action seemed to be a surrender, but in fact it was a more sophisticated declaration.
In this way, she announced to everyone Lin Mo’s extraordinaryness and put herself in the position of the only one who understood him.
Lin Mo looked at Esdeath who was kneeling on one knee, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
“Get up, tell me what’s going on.”
His voice was still flat, without any emotion.
Esdeath slowly stood up, but her head remained slightly lowered, maintaining a respectful attitude.
Her eyes were blazing, like burning blue flames.
“My king, you should not be here.”
She spoke, her voice full of power and temptation.
“I feel your greatness. Your essence is an existence that transcends everything. This world is too small, too peaceful, and too comfortable. This peace is like a gorgeous cage made of marshmallows.
It will wear away your will, wear away your glory, and turn the dragon soaring in the sky into a carp in a pond. This is the greatest blasphemy against you!”
Her words were so powerful that Yukinoshita and Shinomiya’s hearts sank at the same time, because they found that they could not refute her.
Esdeath opened her arms as if to embrace the whole world.
“Come to my world! I come from a vast continent called Empire, where there is no such false peace.
The empire has been at war with the surrounding alien races for years, the flames of the revolutionary army are burning in the dark, and dangerous monsters from other dimensions are wreaking havoc everywhere.
The strong live and the weak die, this is the only rule that applies there! Heroes and tyrants rise together, gods and demons dance together, everyone is using life and glory to compose their own epic. That is the stage that truly belongs to you! “
The scene she described was full of romance, blood and fire, and it made some of the boys present excited.
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Mo, her cold eyes looking directly at Esdeath.
“He’s not going anywhere. This is his home, and there are daily routines that he needs to protect.”
“Guard? That’s ridiculous.”
Esdeath sneered.
“What you call daily life is probably as fragile as a sand castle in his eyes. Does he need protection? No, it is you and this world that need his ‘kindness’ to survive.”
“That’s a nice thing to say.”
Kaguya Shinomiya took Lin Mo’s arm, and said to Esdeath with a smile in a gesture of declaring sovereignty.
“She is just a general’s daughter from the countryside. The stage you mentioned is just a bigger chessboard in the eyes of the Sigong Group. Everything that Lin Mojun wants, whether it is money, power, or the whole world, I and our Sigong family can offer it to him. There is no need to go to your barbaric land full of mud and blood.”
“You don’t understand at all!”
Esdeath’s tone became excited.
“You only want to tie him up with material and emotional chains and tame him into the pet you want! But I will offer him the entire world and countless opponents worthy of fighting! I will crown him and let him sit on the supreme throne built with the corpses of gods and demons!”
Before she finished her words, an even more powerful aura burst out from her.
“Besides, do you think you have a choice?”
Esdeath’s eyes became extremely serious.
“It’s no coincidence that a crack in time and space brought me here! It’s like a beacon, exposing the ‘coordinates’ of this world to endless dimensions!”
“Soon, the army of my world, and even the Predators that are more powerful and more terrifying than my world, will come here following these coordinates. By then, the daily life you cherish will be easily shattered like glass. For the ants of this world, it will be the end of the world. But for you, my king, it will be a grand coronation ceremony tailor-made for you!”
After saying that, she spread out her hands. In her palms, the diamond-shaped crystal, which was completely black and seemed to absorb all light, lay quietly.
Inside the crystal, billions of stars are born and die, emitting a heart-pounding, abyss-like breath.
“This is the ‘Key to the Abyss’, the only token that can stabilize and pass through the cracks in time and space.”
She walked slowly forward and respectfully held the crystal in front of Lin Mo with both hands.
“Please accept it. When you are tired of this boring, hypocritical peace game, when you want to take back everything that belongs to you.”
Her voice became extremely fanatical, like the most crazy believer chanting divine revelation.
“Please crush it. I, Esdeath, will lead my three most elite beast warriors and the army of the entire empire across the world to clear all obstacles for you and kill all enemies. I, and everything I have, will be the most loyal and sharpest sword in your hand!”
Just as the atmosphere was becoming extremely tense, Yukinoshita and Shinomiya were racking their brains to think of how to deal with it.
A lazy voice with a hint of playfulness suddenly sounded from the side.
“Oh my, what a touching declaration of allegiance. I’m almost moved to tears.”
Everyone looked over and saw that Mai Sakurajima had leaned against a cherry tree not far away.
She crossed her arms, with a half-smile on her face, as if she had watched the whole show.
She walked over with cat-like graceful steps, and her high heels tapped the ground, making crisp sounds.
She came to the center of the confrontation, first looked at the “Key to the Abyss” in Esdeath’s hand with curiosity, and then turned her gaze to Lin Mo.
“I say, Miss General.” Mai Sakurajima winked at Esdeath, “You seem to have made a mistake in a very basic matter.”
“What’s the matter?” Esdeath frowned. She didn’t like this woman who suddenly appeared and interrupted her sacred ceremony.
“What you said about the throne, war, and coronation does sound grand.”
Sakurajima Mai chuckled, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and gently tapped Lin Mo’s chest.
“But, this man, does he look like he’s interested in those things?”
Her words woke everyone up.
Indeed, from beginning to end, there was no yearning or excitement on Lin Mo’s face.
Mai Sakurajima turned to Yukinoshita and Kaguya Shinomiya again, her smile growing even wider.
“And the same goes for you two. One wants to tie him down with the sense of ‘daily’ responsibility, and the other wants to keep him captive with the control of ‘wealth’. Don’t you think that you and this general lady are essentially the same?”
“You are all just trying to shape him into what you want him to be. Which of you has really asked him what he wants?”
Sakurajima Mai’s words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the disguises of the three people. Their faces suddenly became a little unnatural.
Finally, Sakurajima Mai looked at Lin Mo again, her eyes became cunning and sincere.
“But, little brother, going to another world to play does sound much more interesting than staying here. If you want to go, remember to call me. I am very interested in seeing the legendary gods and demons with my own eyes.”
She was not like the other three who tried to give something to Lin Mo or get something from him. She simply expressed similar interests.
A situation of confrontation among four parties was thus formed.
One wants to offer the world and invite him to rule the world.
The two of them have to protect the daily routine and keep him by their side.
There is another one who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos and wants to go into the abyss with him.
Lin Mo looked at the cold black crystal that Esdeath had forced into his hand, and then looked at the four women in front of him who had different styles but were equally beautiful, top-notch, and troublesome.
He finally understood.
For an existence like him, so-called enemies and challenges are meaningless.
The real trouble always comes from within.
From these creatures called women who gathered because of him and went crazy because of him.
He raised his head and looked at the gorgeous sky dyed red by the setting sun. For the first time, he felt a headache from the bottom of his heart.
Being invincible is really lonely like snow and troubles like mountains.
Chapter 6 Uninvited Guests and Shattered Common Sense (Old Version)
The dead silence at the school gate was like a heavy block of lead pressing on everyone’s heart.
The echo of Esdeath’s fanatical declaration lingered in the air, intertwined with Sakurajima Mai’s clever and powerful banter, forming an absurd and extremely tense confrontation.
Those students who were watching from afar instinctively felt a fear that went beyond scandals and gossip, and quietly put their phones back into their pockets, fearing that they would record something that should not exist in the world.
Lin Mo lowered his head and looked at the Key to the Abyss that Esdeath had forced into his hands.
The pitch-black crystal was icy cold, and it seemed as if countless stars were being born and dying inside, emitting a strange aura that lured the soul into the abyss.
Esdeath’s ice-blue eyes were burning with anticipation; Yukinoshita and Shinomiya held their breath, their hearts in their throats.
And Sakurajima Mai still had that look on her face as if she was watching a show to the delight of the world, with a playful smile on her lips.
They are all waiting for a choice, a verdict that will determine the direction of the world.
However, Lin Mo’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations.
He didn’t crush it, nor did he return it to Esdeath, nor did he express any opinion.
He just casually threw the Abyss Key, which was enough to trigger a dimensional war, into his school uniform pocket like a useless stone.
It collided with a house key and some crumpled change, making a slight tinkling sound.
The action was so casual and so understated, yet it contained a contempt that was heavier than any words.
It’s as if to say that all the world you’ve given me, your loyalty, your war, deserves to stay in my pocket for the time being, along with the miscellaneous items.
The fanaticism in Esdeath’s eyes did not diminish in the slightest, but instead turned into an even more unwavering patience.
She understood that the king had his own pace.
Her task was not to urge, but to wait and clear away all obstacles before the king.
Just when this delicate balance was about to be broken, a shrill roar of an engine came from far away, breaking the tranquility of the evening.
This isn’t one car, it’s a fleet of cars.
Five jet-black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans stopped silently at the side of the road in front of the school gate with almost military parade-like precision. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the windows, as cold as the compound eyes of a giant beast from the abyss.
On the hood of the leading car was the Shinomiya family’s iconic four-diamond logo.
Almost at the same time, a dark blue Lexus LS, which looked low-key but was actually worth a lot of money, quietly slid in and stopped behind the convoy.
The car doors opened simultaneously, and ten elite bodyguards in black suits and wearing communication headsets filed out of the Mercedes-Benz.
Their movements were in unison, their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and they exuded the aura of long-trained murderousness. They were the private armed forces of the Shinomiya chaebol, enough to deal with a small-scale local conflict.
A woman in a smart OL suit got out of the Lexus. She had the same beautiful face as Yukino but more mature and sharper. Her hair was tied up, and she looked meticulous.
It was Yukinoshita’s sister, Yukinoshita Haruno.
Her eyes quickly swept across the room, and lingered for half a second with interest on Esdeath’s otherworldly general uniform.
Finally, his gaze fell on his sister and Lin Mo beside her, with a meaningful smile on his lips, as if he knew everything.
“Well, Yukino-chan,”
Yang Nai’s voice was gentle and charming, but it carried a hint of unquestionable oppression.
“It seems that your taste in making friends is more varied than I thought.”
The chief bodyguard of the Shinomiya family, a man with a shallow scar on his brow, walked forward quickly, first bowed ninety degrees to Shinomiya Kaguya, and then turned to Lin Mo.
In an extremely respectful tone that he had learned after emergency training, he said, “Miss Kaguya, Master Lin Mo. The situation is out of control. For your safety, please return with us immediately.”
“Lord Lin Mo”
This title made Kaguya’s eyes flash with satisfaction.
However, Esdeath’s ice-blue pupils suddenly contracted.
Return? This word, with its implication of compulsion, was a provocation to her king’s will.
A visible white chill burst out from her body, and the temperature dropped to freezing point in an instant.
The ground beneath her feet crackled and formed a thick layer of ice. In less than half a second, the four tires of the leading Mercedes-Benz were completely frozen into lumps of ice and stuck firmly to the ground.
“How can you ants decide whether the king stays or leaves?”
Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with a chilling chill and murderous intent.
“Say one more word, and you will stay here forever, just like this car.”
The elite bodyguards’ faces changed drastically and their hands subconsciously reached into their arms. They had faced gunfire and rain of bullets, but had never seen such a supernatural and horrific scene.
A conflict between mortal power and alien power is about to break out.
“Stand back.”
It was Hayasaka Ai. She had stood up at some point, and her usual disguise as a weak maid was torn to pieces, replaced by the coldness and decisiveness of a top agent of the Shinomiya family.
She looked directly at the leader’s bodyguard.
“Everything here is under my full responsibility. Don’t do anything stupid that will anger ‘that adult’.”
The leading bodyguard was sweating profusely and immediately waved his hand to let his men step back.
At this tense moment, the Key of the Abyss in Lin Mo’s pocket suddenly pulsated violently, and a thick, ominous dark energy surged out of it, tearing the space apart.
A three-meter-wide space crack flashing with chaotic light appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, like a ghostly scar.
Then, a figure bathed in golden light stepped out proudly.
He was tall, with blond hair and red eyes, and his handsome face was filled with godly arrogance.
The golden armor was glittering and brilliant, engraved with ancient and gorgeous patterns. Its mere presence exuded a majesty and oppression that made people dare not look directly at it.
“Humph, my treasure house actually led me to such a filthy place where bastards gather.”
The King of Gold, the Hero King Gilgamesh, looked around the room with his unique look that showed him treating everything as straw dogs. “Groups of insects are really polluting my eyes.”
His gaze lingered on Esdeath for a moment.
“A slightly stronger wild dog.”
Then, he locked onto Lin Mo, or rather, locked onto the Key to the Abyss that was emitting energy fluctuations in Lin Mo’s pocket.
“You are a thief who dares to steal my treasure, bastard, kneel down. Hand over what does not belong to you, and I will consider granting you an intact body. This is the highest honor a bastard can get.”
Before he finished speaking, golden ripples spread out behind him, and dozens of golden portals quietly emerged.
Swords, spears, swords, and halberds of various shapes and emitting terrifying magic power poked out from the door and locked onto Lin Mo. That was his treasure house, the king’s treasure.
“Now, make your choice, bastard! Either kneel down and beg for mercy, or turn into dust?”
Faced with this mythical scene, the smile on Yukinoshita Haruno’s face completely disappeared for the first time, and was replaced by deep horror.
The bodyguards of the Shinomiya family were even more concerned about facing a formidable enemy, one that was completely beyond their understanding.
Esdeath moved, and a huge ice wall rose from the ground, blocking Lin Mo.
Shinomiya Kaguya’s eyes were bloodshot, and her invisible spiritual command turned into a sharp blade, piercing Gilgamesh’s soul.
Yukinoshita Yukino also gathered all the coldness in her body, preparing for a desperate fight.
Their responses were quick and their determination was strong.
But to Lin Mo, all this was just noisy.
Today he just wanted to buy the premium Wagyu beef that was on sale for a limited time before the supermarket closed.
First, a few women staged a large-scale drama at the school gate, and now a golden, noisy guy jumped out.
I thought it was a hybrid world where a bunch of everyday anime heroines were piled together, but now it looks like the Lostbelt in FGO.
No, this is the Lostbelt. Even Gilgamesh appeared, so what else can’t appear?
“well.”
His patience finally ran out.
An indescribable aura, as if coming from the vast universe, flashed across Lin Mo’s body.
He didn’t even look at Gilgamesh. He just turned his head slightly, and his indifferent eyes swept over the dozens of treasures ready to be used. He softly and impatiently uttered two words:
“Get lost.”
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no devastating energy exchange.
The moment Lin Mo finished speaking, time seemed to freeze.
Dozens of legendary treasures that were powerful enough to slay dragons and destroy cities were like sand paintings wiped out by invisible hands. Starting from the tip, they silently decomposed and collapsed, turning into the most primitive magic particles and finally returning to nothingness.
Gilgamesh’s god-like arrogant expression froze on his face.
The contempt and disdain in his eyes were replaced by an unprecedented, extreme shock and fear. He felt an irresistible, incomprehensible, and unanalyzable truth covering this space. This was not power, but the rule itself.
“You did it, bastard”
Before he could finish his words, the space under his feet, along with the portal to the King’s Treasure behind him, shattered like a mirror smashed by a hammer. Countless dark, bottomless space cracks spread out like a spider web.
Gilgamesh, the oldest heroic king of mankind, was caught up in the turbulence of the broken space without even being able to utter a scream.
His indestructible golden armor crumbled piece by piece, and he was like a doll thrown into a meat grinder, instantly exiled to an unknown dimensional rift.
The space cracks healed rapidly, as if nothing had happened.
All that was left was the frozen Mercedes and a group of petrified humans whose brains had completely crashed.
Dead silence.
A silence more thorough and soul-deep than any before.
Yukinoshita Haruno’s body was trembling slightly. Her super brain, which was powerful enough to play power games and stir up trouble, was now blank.
The bodyguards of the Shinomiya family felt that their worldview, outlook on life, and values ​​were completely crushed into dust. Esdeath, Kaguya, and Yukino stood there in shock. Their determination to protect Lin Mo just now seemed so ridiculous.
Lin Mo didn’t even look at the crowd. He just took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked the time.
“Oh, no.”
He let out a small, chagrined sigh, with a hint of genuine regret in his tone.
“If you don’t go now, the supermarket’s discounted wagyu beef will be sold out.”
After saying that, he ignored everyone, took a step, and walked quickly towards the supermarket in a posture that could not be more ordinary.
Leaving behind a group of people standing there, their souls as if all had been drained out, shivering in the cold wind of dusk.
Chapter 7: The Fragile Door of the Penthouse (Old Version)
The journey from the gate of Sobu High School to the top-level apartment was a strange silent tour.
Lin Mo walked in front alone, with his hands in his pockets, walking at a steady pace, as if the person who had just casually wiped out the king of an alien world was not him.
His back, illuminated by the neon lights of the city, looked both ordinary and lonely, as if he was out of tune with the world, and as if he himself was the world.
Behind him, at a safe distance of about five meters, Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya, Esdeath and Sakurajima Mai followed silently.
The subtle competitive atmosphere between them has disappeared, replaced by a strange sense of alliance, as if they have survived a disaster and share a huge secret.
The hustle and bustle of the streets seemed to be blocked out by an invisible barrier, unable to invade their dead silent area.
The four gifted girls, at this moment, were like students who had done something wrong. They lowered their heads and digested the horrifying scene that was enough to subvert their worldview.
In Kaguya Shinomiya’s heart, the empire built by money, power and wisdom has completely collapsed.
For the first time, she clearly realized how insignificant and ridiculous everything she was proud of was in the face of Lin Mo’s absolute power.
She thought she was a chess player, but she found out that she was not even the dust on the chessboard.
Lin Mo is the rule maker and can overturn the chessboard at any time.
Conquer? Occupy? These words seem blasphemous now.
She gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
She no longer thought about how to get him, but how to serve him, how to make the giant ship of the Shinomiya family qualified to dock in his harbor called eternity.
She sent a new instruction to Hayasaka Ai, which contained only one sentence: “Use all resources to investigate God’s preferences.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s rational world has long been shattered.
The logic, cause and effect, and laws that she believed in in the past became as fragile as paper in the face of Lin Mo’s unreasonable words.
Her elder sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, the one who had always been pressing down on her and making her feel suffocated, witnessed it all.
When she thought of Yangno’s bloodless face at that time, a strange and complex emotion mixed with pleasure and uneasiness surged in Xueno’s heart.
Her feelings towards Lin Mo also changed from initial curiosity, appreciation and a hint of admiration to a deeper level of awe and desire to explore the ultimate truth of the universe, similar to a scholar’s.
She must understand him, otherwise her soul will tremble forever in the face of this unknown.
Esdeath was in a completely different state. She had no confusion in her heart, only endless enthusiasm and piety.
Fear has long been sublimated into the purest faith.
She found it! She found the supreme power that she had been searching for her entire life, a power that even exceeded her imagination!
Esdeath could feel the power of that golden king. He was an opponent strong enough for her to fight with all her strength.
However, her king just said impatiently “Go away”, and the powerful being really “Go away”, along with the space he was in.
What a divine power this is! What a power this is!
She no longer worried about bringing the king back to her world, because she realized that wherever the king was, that was the center of the universe and the supreme throne.
Her mission has changed from a “guide” to a “scavenger”, clearing out all the ants that dared to disturb the king from enjoying this little thing in his daily life.
Mai Sakurajima is the calmest of the four.
In other words, she transformed that extreme shock into an extreme excitement.
She had experienced all kinds of incredible things about puberty syndrome, but those were just anomalies based on human cognition and idealism.
As for Lin Mo, he is an objective anomaly and the terminator of the law.
This is so much fun! It’s more exciting than any movie she’s ever been in.
She licked her dry lips and looked at Lin Mo’s back, her eyes flashing with a light like a hunter discovering a priceless treasure.
She decided that she would get more deeply involved in this man’s life. This would be ten thousand times more exciting than becoming a national idol.
A group of five people, with five completely different thoughts in their minds, walked into the magnificent lobby of the apartment, which looked like the lobby of a five-star hotel.
The well-trained doorman bowed respectfully, not daring to show the slightest curiosity towards this team with an eerie atmosphere.
The private elevator rose smoothly and stopped with a ding at the floor where the penthouse suite was located.
The elevator door slowly slid open, revealing a surreal and absurd scene before everyone.
Lin Mo’s half-ton titanium alloy armored door, which was specially customized in Germany and claimed to be able to withstand rocket attacks, disappeared.
Not pried open, not blown up, but erased.
An extremely smooth and precise door-shaped hole was left on the wall. The cut was so smooth that it looked like a Boolean operation in three-dimensional software, and not even a trace of dust was left.
Through this hole, you can clearly see the interior of the apartment.
And on that Italian custom-made sofa worth millions, there was an uninvited guest sitting.
It was a huge figure made of black bones. He was wearing a gorgeous dark purple robe, and two scarlet will-o’-the-wisp flames were burning in his empty eye sockets.
The aura he exuded, a mixture of death, despair, and enormous magical power, made the air in the entire room sticky.
Behind him, one on the left and one on the right, stood two guardians respectfully.
One is a gorgeous succubus wearing a pure white dress, with double horns on her head and devil wings on her back;
The other is a handsome man in a suit, with a feminine temperament and a devil’s tail trailing behind him.
The Undead King and ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown.
He was using his fleshless bony hand to pinch a can of Coke that Lin Mo had placed on the coffee table, seemingly studying this cheap drink from another world.
Not long ago, Nazarick’s surveillance system detected a huge spatial energy fluctuation that was comparable to a full-strength attack from a world-class item.
Its source is at this coordinate point.
In line with the principle of being cautious, Ainz brought Albedo and Demiurge to investigate in person, only to find that it was just a deserted luxury apartment.
Just as he was about to leave, the homeowner came back.
Ainz’s red will-o’-the-wisp turned toward the five people at the door.
He felt the overbearing coldness from Esdeath, and also detected the weak but unique energy fluctuations from Kaguya and Yukino.
Classify them as natives who need a little attention.
Then, his eyes fell on Lin Mo, who was in the lead.
An ordinary person? He didn’t feel any power from Lin Mo, no magic, no fighting spirit, nothing, just like an ordinary Japanese high school student.
Instinctively, Ainz quietly activated his passive skill, Despair Aura IV.
An invisible aura of death and fear that could cause the weak to suffer mental collapse or cardiac arrest surged towards the door like a tide.
This is a temptation.
Yukino and Kaguya turned pale instantly, and they felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Sakurajima Mai also groaned, and her pretty face lost color.
Only Esdeath snorted coldly, and the cold air bursting out from her body was like an indestructible ice wall, pushing back the desperate aura.
One cold and one hot, one death and life, two powerful auras collided violently at the entrance, making the space emit a mournful cry as if it could not bear the heavy burden.
Seeing this, Albedo and Demiurge showed disdain in their eyes and were about to punish these ants who dared to resist the Supreme Being.
However, their master, Ainz, had no time to care about these things at the moment.
Because he saw that the boy, whom he judged to be an “ordinary person”, was facing a desperate aura that was enough to bring down an army.
He didn’t even blink, but instead had an unhappy expression on his face, as if saying “the air conditioner is too cold.”
Alarm bells were ringing in Ainz’s heart.
He immediately recited to himself, and cast his most commonly used and most reliable tenth-level magic – [Detect Enemy] – towards Lin Mo.
The magic circle formed in Ainz’s mind in an instant, and then collapsed in an instant.
A force that is a billion times more powerful than the magic he released, and cannot be quantified by any data.
The flood of information that could not be understood by any logic, followed the trajectory of magic and fiercely rushed back into his soul.
That’s not stats, not levels, not resistances.
That’s a concept.
A concept from a higher dimension that made Ainz’s soul, as an undead who had long lost all fear, tremble violently—the absolute.
“Hmm!”
Ainz groaned, his entire body shook violently on the sofa, and the red light in his eyes dimmed a little.
“Lord Ainz!”
Albedo and Demiurge were horrified and rushed forward.
Lin Mo finally lost his patience.
He is really tired today.
He still has a lot to do before the supermarket closes.
His home is not some otherworldly tourist attraction, and his sofa is not for a skeleton to sit on.
He didn’t speak or make any movements.
He simply raised his eyes and looked quietly at Ainz Ooal Gown with his dark, indifferent eyes.
Just this one glance.
Ainz Ooal Gown, the Supreme Being of Nazarick and ruler of the forty-one supreme beings.
I felt like my soul was being pulled out of my body by an invisible hand and dragged into the endless void.
He saw it.
He saw the Great Tomb of Nazarick, his pride, his home, his everything grand, reduced to dust in an instant.
He saw his loyal guardians, along with himself, being completely wiped out silently, without even a trace of their existence left.
He saw the birth and destruction of countless universes and the beginning and end of the long river of time.
And all this was just a boring thought of the owner of those eyes.
This is not the enemy.
This is not a strong person.
This is the ultimate, the truth. This is the One.
It is “God”.
Cold sweat (if skeletons could sweat) instantly soaked Ainz’s robes.
He finally understood that the energy fluctuation he detected was not a world-class prop, but a sneeze from this being.
My cautious exploration behavior is like an ant showing off in the sun in front of the other party.
Ainz Ooal Gown made the fastest, most correct, and most soulful decision since he traveled through time.
He jumped up from the sofa with a “whoosh”, and because of his violent movement, the can of Coke slipped from his hand and fell on the carpet.
He bowed deeply, deeply to Lin Mo in an almost prostrate manner.
“We are so sorry! We are so sorry! We didn’t mean to offend you! This is the stupidest and most unforgivable mistake we have ever made! We will get out of here right now! Right now!”
His voice no longer had the majesty of a king, only the purest, heartfelt fear and flattery.
He didn’t even dare to wait for Lin Mo’s response, and grabbed Albedo and Demiurge who were in a complete daze beside him.
He used up all his magic power and yelled out the spell of teleportation magic in an almost wailing voice.
“High-level teleportation!”
A twisted black portal opened hastily, and the three people rushed in, tumbling and crawling, and disappeared without a trace.
The portal was then closed.
The room instantly returned to silence, with only a can of Coke left, still rolling on the carpet.
Lin Mo let out a long, long sigh.
The world is finally quiet.
He walked to the sofa, kicked the can of Coke into the corner, then sat down heavily, sinking into the soft sofa.
The four girls who were left behind stared blankly at the perfect door-shaped hole, and then looked at the tired-looking man on the sofa.
I feel like my brain is completely unable to process the information I have received today.
In the end, it was Kaguya Shinomiya who came to her senses first. With shaking hands, she dialed her family’s number.
“I informed the Supreme Laboratory of Shinomiya Heavy Industries that I needed a door. Yes, a door. Material? Use the highest-dimensional material we can find that can resist conceptual erosion.”
Chapter 8 The Price of a Nap (Old Version)
The deathly silence left behind by Ainz Ooal Gown’s hasty escape lasted for a full three minutes in the penthouse.
The breathing of the four girls could be heard clearly, and each of their heartbeats was like the beating of drums.
Their worldview is repeatedly shattered today, then reshaped with more shocking facts, and then shattered again.
The first one to regain mobility was Esdeath.
Without any hesitation, she walked up to Lin Mo, knelt on one knee, and lowered her head. Her movements were as standard as those in a textbook.
She said in a trembling voice that contained extreme suppressed enthusiasm.
“My king, your sacred residence has been desecrated by villains. This is our fault for failing to protect it! Please allow me to stay here and wipe out all invading enemies for you, even gods from other worlds!”
“I say, Miss General,”
Mai Sakurajima leaned against the wall and chuckled, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with her usual teasing.
“What you are saying now is nonsense, isn’t it? What kind of enemy do you need to defeat? Can’t he solve it with just one look? I think you, me, and them are the real enemies that will disturb his sleep.”
Her words were like a needle that pierced through Esdeath’s impassioned speech and also made Yukino and Kaguya’s expressions become somewhat unnatural.
Lin Mo leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, not even bothering to move his eyebrows.
He doesn’t want to care about anything now and just wants to sleep.
Sleep till the end of the universe.
His aura calmed down, and the oppressive feeling of an invincible strong man disappeared, replaced by a pure feeling of exhaustion of an “ordinary person” who wanted to rest.
However, he wanted to rest, but the world did not allow him to do so.
Two consecutive high-intensity dimensional interferences, one to forcibly expel Gilgamesh and the other to scare away Ainz Ooal Gown with his presence, have caused irreversible damage to the underlying physical rules of this world.
It’s like applying two rough, incompatible patches in succession to a sophisticated program, causing the entire system to start having bugs.
Outside the apartment window, the night view of Tokyo began to appear strangely distorted.
A neon billboard on a skyscraper suddenly began flashing wildly at a frequency of hundreds of times per second, and finally with a “pop”, all the light tubes exploded.
The color of the Tokyo Tower in the distance switched back and forth between red and a strange color that was indescribable, between purple and gray.
Even the moon appeared double in everyone’s eyes for a moment.
This is the cry of the world itself.
Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. He felt a restraining force from the planet, or the will of the world itself.
It was locking him in. It was a cold, emotionless rejection, just like the human immune system, having discovered cancer cells, and was ready to eliminate them at all costs.
“What a hassle”
He whispered to himself.
Just then, a new figure, the third uninvited guest, appeared in the door-shaped hole.
She doesn’t have an amazing aura, nor does she make a grand entrance.
She just walked in naturally, as if through an invisible door.
She was wearing a simple kimono with a blue jacket on the outside, had short hair and a pretty face, and looked like an ordinary girl next door.
However, when Kaguya, Yukino, Esdeath, and Mai saw her eyes, all four of them felt a chill deep in their souls.
Those are a pair of eyes that can see the death of all things.
The ones who came were Liang Yiji.
Not as a personality of “Liang Yi Zhi”, but as a more original embodiment that is connected to the root.
She is the world’s ultimate safety device, the scalpel that comes to remove the “tumor”.
Her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception allow her to see the dead lines and dead points of all things.
As long as you cut along the line or pierce the point, whether it is life, matter, or even concepts such as barriers and magic, it will be “killed”.
She saw the death line on Esdeath’s body that was as complex and clear as ice crystals, the death line on Kaguya’s body that was entangled with her mental power, and the thin but tough death line on Mai’s body.
Then, her eyes fell on Lin Mo.
In an instant, Ryougi Shiki’s world collapsed.
In her sight, there was nothing on Lin Mo.
There are no lines, no points, no structure, no gaps, no origin, and no end.
He is a pure and absolute nothingness, an existence to which even the concept of death cannot be attached.
Her abilities, her eyes that were powerful enough to kill gods, were like a color-blind person trying to distinguish a color that didn’t exist in front of Lin Mo.
For the first time, she saw something that couldn’t be killed.
“You are abnormal.”
Ryougi Shiki spoke, her voice ethereal and calm, as if she was stating an established fact.
“Your ‘existence’ itself is eroding the rationality of this world.
World, sent me to correct you.”
“Correction?”
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately took a step forward, her powerful aura fully unleashed.
“Who are you? Do you know who you are talking to? Not to mention you, even the world itself has no right to correct him!”
Esdeath was even more direct. A spear of ice instantly condensed in her hand and pointed it at Ryougi Shiki from afar with murderous intent.
“If you dare to disrespect my king, be prepared to be turned into an ice sculpture.”
Ryougi Shiki ignored their threats, her eyes were only on Lin Mo from beginning to end.
“It’s not a request, nor a threat. It’s a notice.”
She said calmly.
“Your existence in this world has triggered an irreversible chain reaction.
Soon the dimensional barriers will become weaker and weaker, and more and more powerful Peeps will arrive.
Before the world destroys itself, it will do everything it can to exclude you.
I am just the first and mildest line of insurance.
If I fail, what will happen next will be more direct and violent phenomena, such as the erasure of the law of causality against you personally.”
Her words made everyone present understand the seriousness of the matter.
This is not a personal grudge, this is a war between Lin Mo and the whole world.
She reached out to Lin Mo and offered the world’s conditions.
“You have three choices.
One, I will ‘kill’ all your connections with this world and banish you to the eternal void, where you can get the peace you want.
Second, accept the general’s invitation, take the initiative to leave this world and go to other dimensions.
Three, stay and then face the endless and escalating revisions of the world’s will until one side completely collapses.”
Everyone’s heart was in their throat.
There was anticipation in Esdeath’s eyes, fear in Kaguya and Yukino’s eyes, and an unprecedented excitement flashing in Mai’s eyes.
What will Lin Mo choose? Compromise, leave, or fight?
Lin Mo looked at Ryougi Shiki, then at the four girls around him with different expressions. Finally, he glanced at the night sky outside the window that was beginning to “flash”.
He stood up slowly.
An unprecedented breath, enough to make the universe tremble, began to awaken from his body.
But that was not murderous intent, nor was it a desire to fight.
“Super Saiyan, is it for fighting?”
He suddenly asked out of the blue.
Ryougi Shiki was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
“No.”
Lin Mo asked and answered himself, and his dark pupils were instantly dyed with a layer of bright golden color, like a newborn star.
His short black hair floated up slowly without wind, and every strand of hair shone with golden light.
A golden, warm and sacred aura, like the origin of life, rose from his body.
This aura is not destructive at all, but instead is full of the will to create and protect.
It gently brushed over everyone in the room, and the girls felt that the fatigue and fear deep in their souls were swept away, replaced by a kind of inner peace and tranquility.
Even Ryougi Shiki’s eyes, which could see through death, felt a hint of the warmth of “life” under the golden light.
“It’s noisy”
Lin Mo said softly, his golden pupils overlooking the entire Tokyo and even the entire world.
“This universe is too fragile. The rules are full of loopholes and it collapses at any time. It is really a substandard product.”
He raised his hand, looked out the window, and gently snapped his fingers.
“Pah.”
A crisp snap of fingers.
The golden flame, like ripples, instantly spread out with Lin Mo as the center.
It has no sound and no shape, but in an instant it swept across the entire earth, the entire solar system, and the entire universe.
At this moment, all “errors” were corrected.
Tokyo Tower’s color was fixed at bright red, no longer flickering, and the skyscraper’s billboards returned to normal.
The moon no longer has double images. All the bugs caused by dimensional interference have been perfectly repaired by this golden patch.
No, not just repair.
It is a rewrite.
Lin Mo wrote his own existence directly into the most basic rules of this universe.
From this moment on, his existence was no longer an anomaly, but one of the cornerstones on which this world depended.
The fluctuations in his power are no longer a virus, but the normal parameters that maintain the stability of the world.
He did not adapt to the world.
He makes the world adapt to him.
The short sword in Ryougi Shiki’s hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The world in her eyes changed drastically in an instant.
Those densely packed deadlines became more stable and clear than ever before. The “reason” of the entire world was strengthened a billion times. And the source of all this came from the blond man in front of him.
The sense of rejection from the world disappeared.
What replaces it is a kind of closeness and dependence that comes from the heart.
“What did you do?” For the first time, Ryougi Shiki’s voice was filled with shock.
The golden flames slowly subsided, and Lin Mo’s hair and pupils returned to their original state.
He sat back on the sofa, yawned, and his face was full of sleepiness.
“nothing.”
He spoke calmly, as if he had just repaired the blue screen of his own computer.
“It’s just a level-up for this broken universe.”
“Okay, no one’s disturbing me now.”
He pulled a pillow over, hugged it, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
“I really need to sleep. Before I wake up, I will throw anyone who disturbs me to the place before the Big Bang.”
As he finished speaking, he began to breathe steadily, and it seemed that he had really fallen into a deep sleep within three seconds.
Leaving in the living room, five stunning women from different worlds and with different abilities were like five exquisite sculptures, completely petrified in place.
War? Conquest? Everyday life?
All the choices and calculations became a joke in front of this man who upgraded the universe with ease.
Chapter 9: The Sleeping God and the First Covenant (Old Version)
Lin Mo fell asleep.
He curled up in the soft sofa, holding a valuable pillow in his arms, breathing steadily and slowly.
On that face that made countless gods and demons tremble, there was now only a pure, flawless tranquility.
It was as if he was not the ultimate being who could upgrade the universe at will, but just an ordinary high school student who took a nap in class and went home to catch up on his sleep.
However, the atmosphere in the living room was more solemn than any battlefield.
Time seems to be frozen.
Shinomiya Kaguya, Yukinoshita Yukino, Esdeath, Sakurajima Mai, and the last to arrive, Ryougi Shiki, five extremely beautiful women, stood there like five exquisite sculptures that were instantly petrified.
They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that the slightest sound would wake up the sleeping god on the sofa, and then he would throw them to the Big Bang.
The erased door-shaped hole, like a silent mouth, silently tells the scenes that happened not long ago, which are enough to subvert all cognition.
The first to break the silence was Ryougi Shiki.
Her magic eyes that could see the death of all things were now looking deeply at Lin Mo.
The world in my eyes is completely different from what it was a few minutes ago.
The death line of all things has become stronger and more stable than ever before, and the “reason” of the entire world seems to be reinforced by an invisible law that can never be cut off.
She leaned over and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground.
“He’s not kidding.”
Ryougi Shiki’s voice was ethereal and plain, but it was clearly heard by everyone, and every word carried unquestionable weight.
“He rewrote the rules. He made his own existence one of the cornerstones of this world.
From now on, his emotions, his breathing, and even his every unconscious thought will become parameters to maintain the stability of the universe.
The restraining force of the world will no longer repel him, but will protect him.”
Her words, like a huge rock thrown into a deep pool, caused huge waves in the hearts of the four girls.
Shinomiya Kaguya’s body trembled slightly.
For the first time, her brain, which was comparable to a supercomputer, felt the feeling of being unsolvable.
She had been taught since childhood that everything could be calculated and everything could be controlled.
But now, she is facing a man who has turned himself into a rule.
How do you control gravity?
How to buy time itself?
Her obsessive idea of ​​branding Lin Mo with the mark of the Sigong family seemed extremely childish and ridiculous at this moment.
She finally understood that what she should do was not to possess, but to pray.
I pray that this walking law of the universe will not allow the entire Four Palaces Group to be erased from the law of causality because of an unpleasant dream while taking a nap.
Yukinoshita Yukino’s fingertips were cold.
The rationality and logic that she used to be proud of now seemed like a child’s scribbles.
She has been trying to understand Lin Mo, analyze him, and incorporate him into her own cognitive system.
But now, he has become the cognitive system itself.
She felt like an ant trying to measure the end of the universe with a ruler, full of powerlessness.
The desire to seek the truth turned into a purer awe of the unknown itself.
For the first time, the smile on Sakurajima Mai’s face completely disappeared.
Her heart, which was always afraid of chaos in the world, felt a chill to the bone at this moment.
Fun? Exciting? It’s not fun at all when the cost of a joke could mean the end of the world.
She looked at Lin Mo’s sleeping face and felt for the first time that this little brother might really just want to live a quiet life.
And these women who are attracted to him are the most unstable and dangerous factors in the world.
Only Esdeath had a completely different reaction.
Fanaticism, extreme fanaticism, burst out from the depths of her ice-blue eyes.
Her king did not disappoint her!
No, it was far beyond her imagination! What imperial tool, what empire, what monster from another dimension,
In front of the King’s might, all are dust!
Rewriting the rules of the universe? What a mighty power!
This is the supreme existence that Esdeath should follow!
She took a step forward and was about to kneel down again to swear allegiance.
“Don’t move.”
Ryougi Shiki’s voice rang out, stopping her movements.
Esdeath frowned and looked at the woman with dissatisfaction.
Ryougi Shiki didn’t look at her, but just stared at Lin Mo’s sleeping face and continued with that flat tone.
“He fell asleep. That last warning was no joke. Any slight move we make now could lead to unpredictable chain reactions.
We are the most dangerous bomb in this room.”
This sentence made everyone silent.
Yes, the threat does not come from outside, but from within.
Each of the five of them possesses extraordinary powers, and each of them is inextricably linked to Lin Mo.
Their competition, their emotions, and their existence itself are all unstable variables for this world that has just been upgraded and is undergoing system self-inspection.
The biggest variable is that they might wake up Lin Mo.
“so.”
Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath, forcing her confused brain to start working again. She lowered her voice and said in a breathy voice, “We must reach a consensus.”
She looked around at everyone, her gaze finally falling on Yukinoshita Yukino and Esdeath, the two who had been her main rivals before.
“Until Lin Mo-jun wakes up, there will be a truce between us.”
truce.
This word has great significance coming from Kaguya Shinomiya’s mouth.
Yukinoshita Yukino had a cold face and said nothing, but she nodded slightly to show her agreement. She knew very well that now was not the time to be jealous.
Although Esdeath was unwilling, she was even more unwilling to be the sinner who disturbed the king’s rest.
She snorted coldly, which was considered as her agreement.
Mai Sakurajima shrugged and made a motion of zipping her mouth, and the smile returned to her face, but this time there was a hint of mischief in her smile.
“Then the covenant is established.”
Shinomiya Kaguya announced, a hint of relief in her tone.
She felt that she was not negotiating with a few love rivals, but signing a non-aggression treaty with several nuclear-armed countries.
“Very good, then as allies we face our first problem.”
Yukinoshita Yukino also spoke in a whisper, her eyes cast towards Lin Mo who was sitting on the sofa.
“Are we just going to let him sleep on the couch forever?”
When this question came out, everyone was stunned.
Yes, it doesn’t seem appropriate to let him sleep here.
What if you catch a cold?
Although given his physical condition, this is purely groundless worry.
But making him sleep more comfortably seemed to be their duty as “allies”.
“Of course we have to send the king back to his bedroom!”
Esdeath said as a matter of course, her voice low but her will firm.
“I agree, but here comes the problem.”
Mai Sakurajima raised the key question with great interest.
“Who’s going?”
Who is going?
Who’s going to move him?
Who dares to touch this sleeping, walking law of the universe?
What if he gets grumpy when he wakes up?
What if there are some passive defense mechanisms around his body?
just in case
Countless terrible what-ifs flashed through the minds of the four girls.
They looked at Lin Mo’s peaceful sleeping face and felt that they were not facing a sleeping person, but a dormant supernova that could explode at any time.
“I’ll do it.”
Esdeath stood up without hesitation.
As the king’s most loyal knight, she has this obligation.
“no.”
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately objected.
“You have too much murderous aura, it might irritate him.”
“Then why don’t you come? Is the coldness on your body the aromatherapy?”
Esdeath retorted.
“My power comes from my bloodline and can be restrained. Your power comes from the imperial weapon and is full of aggression.”
Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed calmly.
“How about we go together?”
Shinomiya Kaguya made a suggestion and looked at Sakurajima Mai.
“The four of us can each carry one horn, right?”
“I have no objection, but Kaguya-san, are you sure your little body can lift it?”
Mai Sakurajima teased.
“Hmph, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Just when the four people were arguing and almost breaking the alliance again.
Ryougi Shiki, who had been silent the whole time, slowly walked to the sofa.
Amid everyone’s astonished gazes, she stretched out her hand, as if ready to touch Lin Mo.
“What are you doing?”
Kaguya and Yukino exclaimed at the same time.
Esdeath’s muscles were tense, ready to rescue (or die together) at any time.
Ryougi Shiki ignored them.
Her hand stopped half a centimeter away from Lin Mo’s body.
Her eyes of death vision clearly saw that around Lin Mo’s body, there was a thin layer of invisible “principle”. It was not a barrier, nor an energy field, it was the world itself.
Actively forming the most perfect and comfortable bedding for him.
Any external, purposeful force, the moment it touches this layer of “principle”, will be judged as interference, thus leading to unpredictable consequences.
“I can’t move.”
Ryougi Shiki withdrew her hand and uttered three words.
“Unless he wants to.”
After hearing this, everyone fell into deeper silence.
They looked at the man who was treated so tenderly by the entire universe, then looked at the still empty doorway and the mess on the floor (although there was only a can of Coke), and a common thought came to their minds.
I’m afraid no one will be able to sleep tonight.
Their mission is to keep watch for this sleeping god here.
As the night deepens, Tokyo’s bustling lights form a dazzling sea of ​​stars outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
The top floor of the apartment fell into an eerie, almost frozen silence.
Lin Mo was still sleeping on the sofa, breathing evenly, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.
Around him, five goddess-like beautiful girls sat upright, like five most pious night watchmen.
There was a subtle distance between them, and their eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Chapter 10: The First Commandment and the Fragile Door (Old Version)
Awe, curiosity, helplessness, and a hint of nervousness that can’t be hidden.
“Gurgle.”
An untimely voice broke the silence.
Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on the source of the sound, Sakurajima Mai’s belly.
Mai Sakurajima blushed, and she covered her belly awkwardly, stuck out her tongue, and mouthed silently, “Sorry, I didn’t have dinner.”
After she said this, others also realized this problem.
They went on for the entire afternoon and evening, from the school to the rooftop, to the confrontations at the school gate, and finally to the fierce fight in the apartment. None of them had time to eat.
Now that I relaxed, the feeling of hunger came up like a tide.
The question is, who dares to make noise and cook at this time?
The kitchen is right next to the living room. The sound of opening the refrigerator door, the sound of water running from the faucet, not to mention the sound of cooking, any one of them could become a death warrant that could wake up the gods.
“I’ll ask Hayasaka to bring some food over.”
Kaguya Shinomiya reacted immediately, she took out her cell phone and prepared to send a message.
Her movements were extremely gentle, and she even used facial recognition to unlock her phone, fearing that the keystrokes would disrupt her fragile balance.
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately rejected the idea, “If someone outside comes in, it will make noise. The sound of a door opening, footsteps, and talking. The risk is too great.”
“What should we do? We can’t starve, right?”
Mai Sakurajima blinked pitifully.
Esdeath frowned. She didn’t have much desire for food, but she couldn’t let others affect their guarding mission because of hunger.
She thought about it and made a suggestion.
“I can go to the convenience store downstairs and buy some bread and milk that doesn’t need to be heated. I’m very fast and can do it quietly.”
“This is the best solution at the moment.” Yukinoshita Yukino agreed.
“Wait a moment.”
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly thought of a more serious problem, and she pointed to the huge, smooth door-shaped hole.
“We don’t have a door.”
This one sentence stunned everyone.
Yes, the door was directly erased by Ainz Ooal Gown using some kind of magic.
An armored door that could withstand rockets just disappeared out of thin air.
The absence of a door means that this place is connected to the outside world.
Esdeath could go out quietly, but the sounds from outside, such as the footsteps of other residents in the corridor and the prompt sounds of the elevator, might come in.
More importantly, it’s not just about the sound.
“What about security issues?”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s brows were tightly furrowed.
“Although it’s impossible for ordinary thieves to break in here, but what if?”
“Thief?”
Esdeath snorted disdainfully and spoke in a breathy voice.
“Any villain who dares to set foot here, I will turn him into an eternal ice sculpture before he can even make a sound.”
A cold murderous intent emanated from her, causing the temperature around her to drop a few degrees.
“Don’t release your murderous intent, idiot!”
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately glared at her.
“Do you want to freeze him awake?”
Only then did Esdeath realize her own gaffe and quickly restrained her breath.
“Kaguya is right, we can’t solve problems with violence.”
Mai Sakurajima held her chin with her hands, her eyes gleaming with wisdom.
“We need a plan that will solve the food and safety problems perfectly without making any noise.”
Thus, a combat meeting of the highest level in history, centered around how to eat and how to block the door, was silently launched among the five extraordinary girls with whispers and gestures.
After ten minutes of intense discussion, they finally came up with a plan.
The first step is for Esdeath to be on guard.
She moved to the doorway and, like the most observant cheetah, monitored every movement in the corridor.
Her mission is not to kill, but to warn.
The second step is for Sakurajima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino to be responsible for finding food.
Their target was Lin Mo’s huge double-door refrigerator.
Like bomb disposal experts, they need to calculate the angle and time of opening the door in seconds, take out enough food and drinks, and then close it.
No unnecessary sound should be made during the whole process.
The third step is for Kaguya Shinomiya to be responsible for logistics and command.
She had contacted the Shinomiya family’s top construction engineering team via mobile phone and asked them to design and manufacture a new “Absolute Gate” overnight that could block out all sound and energy.
Of course, the installation process had to be silent, which was a huge technical challenge.
As for Ryougi Shiki, she did not participate in the discussion from beginning to end.
She just held her dagger, sitting quietly in a corner with her eyes closed, as if she was dozing off, or as if she was sensing everything around her in another way.
Her existence itself is an invisible deterrent.
The action begins.
Mai Sakurajima and Yukino Yukinoshita tiptoed towards the refrigerator, and the two looked at each other, and they could see the tension in each other’s eyes. This was more nervous than when they faced any enemy.
Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, slowly reached out her hand, and grasped the handle of the refrigerator.
Her hands were steady, but her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Sakurajima Mai was beside her, making a countdown gesture of “three, two, one”.
When “one” fell, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly opened the refrigerator door.
“squeak.”
A slight but at this moment extremely harsh sound of door hinge friction sounded in the silent living room.
At this moment, the hearts of the five women stopped beating at the same time.
Everyone’s eyes were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, fixed on the sleeping figure on the sofa.
Lin Mo’s brows seemed to frown slightly.
It’s over!
This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.
Esdeath’s body was tense to the limit, ready to bear the king’s wrath at any time.
Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her phone tightly, almost crushing it.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Sakurajima Mai were frozen in place, not daring to move, their faces as pale as paper.
Time is infinitely stretched at this moment.
One second, two seconds, three seconds
Lin Mo’s brows slowly relaxed again.
He turned over, turned his back to everyone, seemed to smack his lips, and then continued to sleep soundly.
call
The five girls were so relieved to have survived the disaster that they almost collapsed to the ground.
Mai Sakurajima and Yukino Yukinoshita no longer dared to make any fancy moves. They quickly took out a bunch of vegetables, fruits, milk and juice that could be eaten raw from the refrigerator, and then carefully closed the refrigerator door silently while holding it with their hands.
They carried a pile of food and fled back to the center of the living room like thieves.
“It’s so exciting”
Mai Sakurajima touched her chest and breathed heavily.
“There have to be rules.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression was more serious than ever.
“We need to establish a strict code of conduct to prevent something like this from happening again.”
“I agree.”
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately seconded the motion.
So, after solving the problem of food and clothing.
The second meeting of the “Night Watch Alliance” was held urgently.
The topic this time is to formulate the first emergency action plan during Lin Mo’s sleep, also known as Operation Shut Up.
The core content of the program was quickly summarized into a few iron laws by Yukinoshita Yukino with her powerful memory and logical ability:
Rule 1: Any sound exceeding 20 decibels is prohibited. Violators will be jointly sanctioned by all members (the specific sanction is yet to be determined, but Mai Sakurajima suggested that they could be punished by copying Lin Mo’s textbook 100 times).
Article 2: It is forbidden to use any offensive supernatural powers. Energy fluctuations may disturb him.
Article 3: Any kind of quarrel or debate is prohibited. All disagreements are resolved through eye contact and gestures. If they cannot be resolved, the day’s duty officer (this position was proposed by Kaguya) will make the final decision.
Article 4: All necessary interactions with the outside world must be conducted in absolute silence.
…
A series of seemingly absurd but extremely necessary rules were quickly formulated.
This may be the most humble and cautious action program ever formulated by a group of women with the strongest average appearance, strength and background in human history.
When they finally finalized all the details and prepared to start taking turns to keep watch and rest, a new disaster, which they had not expected at all and could be called a natural disaster, quietly arrived.
Outside the doorway, the elevator in the corridor made a slight ding sound.
Then, a brisk humming voice with a strong nasal tone came from far away.
“I have to be full of energy to deliver food today~ la la la~”
A young man wearing a yellow delivery uniform and a baseball cap, carrying a huge pizza box in his hand, was walking towards this side while looking at the address on his mobile phone.
His footsteps stopped in front of the smooth door-shaped hole.
The smile on his face froze.
He looked at the empty door frame, then at the five stunningly beautiful girls sitting inside with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and the man on the sofa who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
His brain froze for three seconds.
Then, he raised the pizza box in his hand and shouted in an uncertain, tentative voice, but loud enough to penetrate the entire floor:
“Excuse me… who ordered… the super supreme surf and turf deluxe takeout… the whole bucket?”
The delivery boy’s loud and energetic voice echoed on the silent top floor of the apartment, like a firework lit in a powder keg.
The expressions of the five girls instantly changed from astonishment to extreme fear.
Their pupils contracted violently at the same time.
It’s over.
This thought was a hundred times clearer and ten thousand times more desperate than when the refrigerator door rang just now.
Time seemed to be slowed down at this moment.
They could clearly see that Lin Mo’s steady breathing on the sofa had become slightly disordered.
His fingers moved unconsciously.
In their eyes, this action was no less than a planet about to explode, with an unstable energy reaction occurring in its core.
“Kill him!”
Chapter 11: The Threat from the Mundane World and the Dilemma of the Goddess (Old Version)
The most direct and effective idea instantly flashed through Esdeath’s mind, and she was even prepared for it.
In just a moment, this noisy mortal and his voice could be frozen into eternal atoms.
But reason, or the fear of Lin Mo waking up, made her suppress this impulse.
When you take action, there will be energy fluctuations.
If you take action, there may be sounds of struggling.
This is expressly prohibited in both Article 2 and Article 1 of the Program!
“Use money!”
Shinomiya Kaguya’s reaction was equally quick, and her thoughts immediately turned to the area she was best at.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
She was immediately ready to take out her cell phone and mobilize a sum of money that would be enough to ensure the delivery man’s comfortable life for the rest of his life, in order to buy his silence.
But she immediately realized that this required communication.
To communicate, you need to speak.
Speak and you will make a sound!
Yukinoshita Yukino’s brain was working fast. She tried to find a logical explanation that would make the other party shut up and leave immediately.
“We are filming a performance art. The theme is silence. Please cooperate.”
“We are deaf and dumb and can’t hear what you are saying.”
“This is a crime scene. You’d better leave immediately.”
Absurd thoughts flashed through her mind, but she rejected them one by one.
Any explanation seems pale and powerless, and it also needs to be spoken out.
Mai Sakurajima covered her face. She felt that this was more exciting than any suspense film she had ever made.
She even had an urge to see what would happen after Lin Mo was woken up.
But this thought only flashed through his mind before being extinguished by the instinct for survival.
what to do?
what to do?!
At this critical moment.
The delivery guy whose brain had crashed seemed to finally come back to his senses from the shock.
He looked at the five girls in the room, all with different expressions but all too beautiful to be real, and then looked at their weird postures as if they were playing “one, two, three, statue”.
An expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
“Oh! I understand!”
He slapped his thigh, his voice still loud and clear.
“You guys are cosplaying, right? Or some kind of immersive script-killing game?
This scene is so well set up, even the door is removed, it’s so realistic! Is that sleeping person an NPC? Is he playing a corpse or a vegetative state? “
As he spoke, he curiously poked his head in, trying to look inside.
These words made the five girls’ blood pressure instantly soar to a critical point.
This mortal is not only noisy, but also has such a strong imagination!
“Who ordered the pizza?”
The delivery guy scratched his head.
“Mr. Lin, whose phone number ends with 6666? He’s asleep. Who will pay? Cash or scan the QR code?”
He waved the payment code hanging on his chest.
This problem was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
To pay, someone needs to step forward. When someone steps forward, there will be action.
When you scan the code, your phone may make a sound. When you pay in cash, you may hear the sound of counting money and making change.
Every step is fraught with fatal risks.
At this stalemate, even the gods felt suffocated.
A figure that no one expected moved.
It is a two-part ceremony.
She stood up from the corner, her movements silent and quiet, like a black cat walking at night.
She didn’t walk towards the delivery boy, but went straight to Lin Mo who was sitting on the sofa.
“You’re crazy!”
Shinomiya Kaguya shouted silently with her mouth.
The other three also showed expressions of horror.
Under their horrified gaze, Ryougi Shiki walked up to Lin Mo.
Her pair of demonic eyes that could see death stared at Lin Mo’s sleeping face.
Then, she slowly reached out her hand and took something out from the pocket of Lin Mo’s school uniform pants.
It’s not a magic weapon, nor is it a key.
Instead, it was a crumpled supermarket membership discount card that looked like it had been used many times.
Ryougi Shiki took the discount card, turned around, and walked towards the delivery guy at the door with an expressionless face.
The delivery guy was stunned as he watched this girl with the most unique and cold temperament walking towards him with a supermarket discount card in her hand.
“That beauty, we can’t pay with supermarket cards here”
Ryougi Shiki didn’t say anything.
She just handed the card to the delivery boy.
The moment the delivery guy’s eyes met the card.
Something magical happened.
The delivery boy’s eyes suddenly became empty.
The curiosity and excitement on his face disappeared, replaced by an absolute, unconditional obedience.
The moment he saw the card, a new instruction was written into his brain.
An unquestionable instruction from one of the highest laws of the universe, carried by Lin Mo’s “possession”.
“Order completed.”
The delivery guy said this in an emotionless, robotic voice.
Then, he placed the pizza box in his hand respectfully on the floor beside the door, as if offering a sacrifice.
Then he turned around and walked back the way he had come, with stiff, puppet-like steps.
No humming, no questions, no looking back.
He stepped into the elevator and the doors closed.
The whole process was eerily quiet.
It was not until the sound of the elevator going down completely disappeared that the four girls in the living room woke up from their dream.
They looked at Ryougi Shiki as if she were a monster, and then looked at the ordinary supermarket discount card in her hand.
“What did you do?” Yukinoshita Yukino spoke with difficulty, her voice a little hoarse due to shock.
Ryougi Shiki carefully put the discount card back into Lin Mo’s trouser pocket as if it were a sacred object.
Then, she turned around and explained in her still calm tone:
“I didn’t do anything.”
“It’s this card, what did it do.”
“It is tainted with his ‘reason’. To the mortals of this world, this card is an oracle. Anyone who sees it will unconditionally carry out what he most wishes to happen in his subconscious mind.”
She paused and added.
“Subconsciously, what he hoped most was that the delivery man would complete his task, shut up, and disappear.”
After hearing the explanation, Kaguya Shinomiya, Yukinoshita Yukino, Esdeath and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other.
They felt that their thinking was refreshed again.
It turns out that solving this mundane threat doesn’t require strength, money, logic, or even their own actions.
All you need is a Lin Mo supermarket discount card.
This realization made them feel deeply powerless and absurd.
These favored girls of heaven are racking their brains here, as if facing a formidable enemy, but the result is not as effective as a discount card.
“Okay, the threat is lifted.”
Mai Sakurajima was the first to come to her senses. She looked at the huge box of pizza at the door and her eyes lit up.
“Besides, we have dinner.”
She tiptoed over and brought back the still hot pizza.
When you open the box, the rich aroma of cheese and barbecue instantly fills the entire living room.
For the girls who have suffered great mental and physical torture, this is undoubtedly the most wonderful fragrance in the world.
They sat in a circle on the carpet, carefully sharing the hard-earned pizza piece by piece, as if this was not food but some kind of sacred ritual.
No one noticed during this ridiculous, silent pizza party attended by five stunning girls.
On the sofa, the corners of Lin Mo’s mouth seemed to slightly curl up in an almost imperceptible arc.
He seemed to have had a good dream.
In his dream, he used a discount card to buy half-price Wagyu beef in the entire supermarket.
While Lin Mo’s penthouse apartment fell into a weird pizza party-like peace, the entire multiverse was in turmoil because of his two previous casual actions and the final universe upgrade.
This is an invisible pulsation that cannot be perceived by ordinary life.
But for those beings and civilizations that stand at the top of their respective worlds and can touch the level of laws, this pulsation is no less than a cosmic earthquake.
Space Administration Dimensional Navigation Battleship Asura
On the cold bridge, the red alarm lights flashed silently, casting a solemn look on the faces of every crew member.
On the huge main screen, the previously stable energy curves representing the major dimensions of the management world were now beating violently and irregularly, just like the last crazy struggle before an electrocardiogram stopped.
“Report! In the worlds managed by T-01 to T-99, all basic physical constants have experienced unknown deviations! The deviation rate is stabilizing at a rate of 0.001% per second!”
“Report! Code-A non-management dimension, Earth coordinates, two unexplainable ultra-high-level energy bursts detected!
The first energy reaction, suspected forced repatriation of the king’s treasure!
The second energy reaction, the level, the level cannot be determined! It has exceeded all our detection limits!”
“Admiral!”
A young executive officer with blond twin ponytails and wearing a white mage robe, with a serious expression on her face, looked at the majestic man in the command seat and said, “I just received the highest emergency communication from the Cradle!”
Regias Gates, one of the three admirals of the Space-Time Administration, frowned as he looked at the incredible data on the screen.
“read.”
“yes!”
Chapter 12: The Pulsation of the Universe and the Observers (Old Edition)
The executive officer cleared his throat and read out the content that was enough to make any senior executive of the Space-Time Administration tremble with fear.
“It was observed that the cosmic background radiation was fundamentally restructured, and the basic laws were forcibly optimized and reinforced by unknown forces. The event was named – The Great Silence.
The source of the incident is locked on Earth, which is in the unmanaged dimension Code-A.
Warning level: EX, Recommendation: Immediately upgrade this dimension from unmanaged to absolutely prohibited, and send the highest level observers, at all costs, to find out the source of the Great Silence. Repeat, at all costs. “
Admiral Regias’s knuckles turned slightly white from the force he exerted.
EX level.
This is the legendary highest warning level that has never been activated within the Space-Time Administration.
It represents a phenomenon that is beyond comprehension, beyond our ability to cope with, and capable of upending the entire order of the multiverse.
“Send an observer?”
He muttered to himself.
“Who else is qualified to observe an event of this magnitude?”
He looked at the dark red-haired woman beside him who had remained silent and had the title of Lord of Night Sky.
The other person’s eyes were also filled with shock and confusion.
The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick: Throne Room
“The Supreme Lord actually upgraded the entire world!”
Demiurge, the demon duke known for his wisdom and strategy, was now kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
His super brain, which he was proud of and could plot conspiracies to subvert the country, has completely turned into a mess.
Beside him, Albedo had already burst into tears, her beautiful face filled with a complex expression of ecstasy, admiration, and fear.
“Wow, Ainz-sama, Ainz-sama is truly the Supreme Being!
We are so fortunate that we have offended a great being who can modify the laws of the world at will.
What a sin, and what a glory! “
On the throne, Ainz Ooal Gown, the King of the Undead, had two red lights in his empty eye sockets that represented his soul, flashing madly at an unprecedented frequency.
As an undead being, his ability to be forced to remain calm, which should have freed him from fear, had completely lost its effectiveness.
His entire skeletal body was shaking violently and uncontrollably.
He had just witnessed the golden flames rising through long-distance magical monitoring, and then the world changed.
He could clearly feel that the laws of this world had become extremely strong and the structure of space had become billions of times more stable.
He even felt that if he were to use high-level teleportation again, the amount of magic power he would need to consume would be at least a hundred times more than before.
Because the density of the world has become higher.
The instigator of all this was just that ordinary-looking black-haired boy who he judged to be an ordinary person.
“Demiurge”
Ainz’s voice was trembling deep in his bones, a tremor that he himself was not aware of.
“I’m here!”
“Immediately implement Nazarick’s highest level dormancy plan. All external activities are terminated and the Great Tomb is sealed!
Without my order, no one, no fly, is allowed to leave Nazarick!”
“Yes! As you command! Master Ainz!”
“besides”
Ainz paused, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision, “Prepare one copy, no? Prepare a hundred copies, no!
“In addition to the world-class items, pack up all the most precious gifts in our treasure house that can be presented and best represent our sincerity! Albedo!”
“I’m here!” The Succubus Butler responded immediately.
“You go in person”
Ainz hesitated again when he said this.
“No, you can’t go. It’s too dangerous. Let Pandora’s Actor go! Let him disguise himself as my most humble servant, take these gifts, and go to that apartment. No! Don’t get close! Right downstairs of that building! Kneel for three days and three nights! If that lord doesn’t calm down his anger, leave the gifts behind and get back immediately!”
“Yes! I’ll do it right away!”
After Ainz gave the order, his entire skeleton seemed to be drained of all its strength, and collapsed on the throne.
He now finally understood how foolish and suicidal his previous cautious attempts were.
The gap between him and that existence is no longer the gap between an ant and an elephant.
It’s a piece of data in the game, and the gap between it and the game programmer.
The other party can delete his character and the entire game server at any time.
An unknown dimensional gap
Golden chains tightly bound a figure wearing golden armor.
The heroic king Gilgamesh is now exiled in this endless void without the concept of time and space.
For the first time, an expression of confusion appeared on his proud face.
Just now, he felt that the void that bound him suddenly became extremely solid.
Then, a golden, warm light, which was extremely familiar and yet extremely strange to him, swept across him.
That light contains a will to create and protect.
After the light swept past, the fragments of the laws of space that bound him actually began to automatically repair his golden armor that was torn to pieces in the turbulence of space.
“What’s this?”
The King of Heroes felt more confused than ever before.
That power was like the power of creation from the star that created the separation of heaven and earth, and it also carried a will that he had never seen before, a will that surpassed the level of gods.
He felt as if he had been forcibly cut from a BUG state to a normal state.
Although he was still trapped here, at least he was no longer the mirror that was smashed by a hammer, but a mirror that was put together again, and although there were still cracks, it was at least complete.
“Who the hell are you, bastard?”
He raised his head and looked towards a certain direction in the void. For the first time, there was no arrogance in his red snake eyes, only deep and unbelievable shock.
at the same time.
In more worlds, more dimensions.
On the Heroic Throne of the Holy Grail War, countless heroes sensed a power of “correction” that made their souls submit to it.
The Hakurei Great Barrier of Gensokyo suddenly became more stable than ever before, causing a certain trouble-making shrine maiden to feel a palpitation in her heart.
A peace-loving blue giant of light who was traveling in the universe stopped and looked at his timer in astonishment, and found that his energy was instantly replenished by an unknown force.
At this moment, countless observers, countless powerful people, and countless civilizations, turned their eyes, either openly or secretly, to that small, blue planet that was inconspicuous not long ago.
Earth.
They didn’t know the specific reason for the Great Silence.
But they knew that a singularity had appeared there.
An absolute, unknown existence that is powerful enough to change the entire chess game of the multiverse.
The storm is quietly gathering.
And the center of the storm, Lin Mo, simply changed to a more comfortable position and continued his repeatedly interrupted and costly nap.
The night finally returned to its rightful tranquility.
Inside the apartment, the girls, who had eaten and drunk their fill, finally recovered a little.
The pizza that had been delivered by the unfortunate delivery man and paid for with Ryougi Shiki’s Oracle discount card had been completely devoured.
“Well, now that the food and clothing problem has been solved, Kaguya-san is dealing with the door problem.”
Yukinoshita Yukino once again played the role of the team’s brain, her cold eyes swept over everyone.
“Now, let’s arrange the order of the vigil.”
Her proposal was approved by everyone.
After all, no one can guarantee that they can stay awake all night.
Letting Lin Mo fall asleep unattended is more terrifying than the sky falling.
After some silent and friendly “negotiation” using gestures and eye contact, the final schedule was finalized.
The first half of the night was taken care of by Esdeath, who had the most energy and the lowest demand for food, and the equally tireless Ryougi Shiki.
One of them is an imperial general, and the other is a princess of the root. Staying up late is a common occurrence for them.
The second half of the night was taken care of by Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya.
Although they are mortals, their willpower far exceeds that of ordinary people.
As for Mai Sakurajima, she was honorably appointed as a mobile personnel, responsible for dealing with some emergencies that might occur and require flexible response while others were resting.
Of course, she herself prefers to call her the mastermind behind the overall situation.
After everything was arranged, Kaguya, Yukino and Mai each found a corner of the living room farthest from Lin Mo, curled up, and tried to take a nap.
They were simply too tired, mentally exhausted even more than physically.
The living room fell into silence again.
Only Esdeath was left, standing upright beside the door-shaped hole like the most loyal knight, her ice-blue eyes vigilantly scanning everything outside.
Ryougi Shiki, holding her short sword, sat back in the most inconspicuous corner, blending into the shadows like a lifeless statue.
Time passes by every second.
The midnight bell has already rung in people’s dreams.
Just when Esdeath thought that this night might pass peacefully like this.
Her pupils suddenly shrank.
She felt a surge of energy.
This fluctuation was very strange. It was not full of arrogance and magic like Gilgamesh, nor was it full of death and majesty like Ainz Ooal Gown.
It is pure and clean, like a product of precise calculation and high technology.
“Someone is coming.”
Esdeath whispered in a voice that only she and Ryougi Shiki could hear.
In the corner, Ryougi Shiki slowly opened her eyes.
Above the corridor outside the doorway, the air rippled like water waves.
A pink magic circle appeared out of thin air and slowly rotated.
In the center of the magic circle, light particles quickly gathered together to form a petite yet resolute figure.
The visitor was a little girl who looked no more than nine or ten years old. She had long, smooth brown hair and was wearing a white, high-tech combat suit.
In her hand, she held a golden, strangely shaped staff.
At the top of the staff, a red gem was emitting a soft light.
There was a seriousness and earnestness on her face that was not in line with her age.
The ace of the Space-Time Administration, the air combat magician, Fate Testrosa Harlawin, was ordered to investigate the source of the EX-level event Great Silence.
Fate was suspended in mid-air, and her magic weapon, the Lightning Axe, was scanning the surrounding environment at a frequency of billions of times per second.
“Warning, remnants of the absolute law have been detected in the space ahead. The structure of space has been reshaped by an unknown force, and its stability exceeds the theoretical upper limit by 170 million times.”
“Warning, multiple high-energy life reactions have been detected in the area ahead. Energy level determination: A+, S, S+, and two cannot be analyzed.”
“Ding ding ding.”
The lightning axe in Fate’s hand issued an unprecedented alarm.
“Master! The life signal of the black-haired boy in front of me cannot be read! He seems to have merged with the background parameters of the entire world! My core program cannot understand this phenomenon!”
Chapter 13: Unobservable Targets and the Goddesses’ Choices (Old Version)
The electronic sound of the Lightning Axe rang sharply in Fate Testrosa Harawin’s mind.
Each sound struck at her pride and common sense as a top executive of the Space-Time Administration.
Her golden staff magic weapon, the Lightning Axe.
At this moment, he is no longer the omnipotent and reliable partner who can accurately analyze thousands of magical phenomena, but has become a chaotic instrument that constantly sends out false alarms.
“Master! The target cannot be read! Merge with the world background parameters!
My core program cannot comprehend this form of existence!
This violates the fundamental laws of the dimensional universe!”
The scene inside the apartment was reflected in Fate’s brown pupils.
For the first time, an emotion called confusion emerged on that serious face that was not in line with his age.
Since her birth, she has existed for fighting and protecting.
She has experienced countless high-risk dimensional earthquake events and fought against ancient relics that were capable of destroying planets and distorting cause and effect.
But the situation before her went beyond all definitions in her knowledge base.
It even surpasses any abnormal phenomenon recorded in the top-secret files of the Space-Time Administration.
“The remnants of the absolute law.”
She repeated the analysis of the Lightning Axe in a low voice, and every word was extremely heavy.
“The spatial stability is 170 million times.”
Fate knew very well what this number represented.
This meant the full-force attack that she was so proud of, which was enough to tear apart a battleship’s armor and sink a floating island with one strike.
Here, perhaps it would be impossible to even leave a tiny scratch on the newly installed black door that exudes a strange atmosphere.
This world, or rather this small apartment, has been transformed into a divine realm that cannot be shaken by physical means.
And those five women who were emitting energy reactions above S level, each stared at her with a look that made her extremely uncomfortable.
A silver-haired woman, with pure, undisguised scrutiny in her eyes, as if she were looking at a dead object.
Fate had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, the other party would kill him without hesitation.
The other woman with long ice-blue hair made her feel a chill from the depths of her soul.
That chill wasn’t magic, but a more fundamental kind of absolute authority that governed the laws of physics.
They are very strong, ridiculously strong.
Any one of them is enough to be listed as a key surveillance target above Class A by the Space-Time Administration.
But they are not the point.
The most terrifying thing was the black-haired boy sleeping on the sofa.
In Fate’s perception, he was “nothing”.
There was no energy, no magic, no signs of life, and even the fluctuations of the soul could not be sensed.
He is there, but not in any observable dimension.
Yet, the laws of the whole world, like a docile pet, revolve around him affectionately and carefully.
He is the singularity of the world, the origin of all physical constants, and the conductor of the music of the universe.
There has never been such a record in the textbooks of the Space-Time Administration.
“Lightning Axe, attempt a non-contact mental link. Use the lowest power and highest security protocol.”
Fate gave the order. Facing this unknown situation, obtaining intelligence was the top priority.
She had to figure out the situation.
“As you command, Master. Wide-area telepathic protocol cradle in construction.
Power: 0.001% Attempting link building failed!
The link was bounced by an unknown high-level rule!
Recoil energy level EX!
The mental protection system is instantly overloaded! Master, cut it off quickly! “
“puff.”
Fate didn’t even have time to react.
I just felt that my spiritual world was hit hard by an invisible hammer formed by the weight of the entire universe.
Her consciousness went blank in an instant, her throat felt sweet, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, and her body floated back several meters uncontrollably.
She quickly and forcibly cut off the connection, her eyes filled with unprecedented horror.
Can’t even communicate!
This world has become an invisible and absolutely solid fortress.
It was not an active rejection, but its existence itself went beyond the scope of communication that Fate could understand.
Any attempt to spy will be ruthlessly crushed by the walls of this divine realm.
Inside the apartment, the atmosphere was tense to the point of freezing.
The emergence of Fate was the first real external threat they faced after establishing the Night’s Watch.
“It’s someone from the Space-Time Administration.”
Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her voice and looked solemn.
Her family intelligence network spans the globe, even reaching areas that ordinary people cannot imagine.
She had heard of this mysterious inter-dimensional organization, although most of the information was vague.
But all of them point to its powerful, powerful cross-dimensional interference ability.
This is a behemoth that is more terrifying than any other country.
“Her target is Lin Mojun.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s analysis is always to the point.
Her eyes were cold, and the girl held a golden staff in her hand.
She felt a pure, high-tech, terrifying destructive force that could instantly decompose matter.
This is not blood or magic, but a pure, calculated application of physics.
“A troublesome fellow.”
Mai Sakurajima licked her lips, with a hint of excitement on her face, as if she was enjoying the fun.
She lowered her voice and spoke to Kaguya beside her.
“He looks like he can fight, but I wonder if he can withstand a blow from Esdeath? I bet you a Haagen-Dazs can, Esdeath wins.”
“quiet.”
Esdeath’s ice-blue eyes were fixed on Fate who was floating in mid-air, and the blood in her body was boiling.
Every cell in my body is eager to fight.
This is a strong man! An opponent worthy of her full efforts!
Facing such a powerful enemy, the king’s safety was threatened.
This made her murderous intent and desire to protect reach their peak at the same time.
“She is dangerous. Her equipment is continuously scanning the area. We must eliminate her completely before she disturbs our king.”
Steds’ voice was like the cold wind of Siberia, his murderous intent was undisguised, and the air around him began to condense into tiny ice crystals.
She took a step forward, and pure cold air began to condense in her hand, a crystal clear ice spear flashing with dangerous light ready to be launched.
“stop.”
In the corner, Ryougi Shiki’s voice rang out.
She stood up slowly, her movements soundless and silent, like a shadow blending into the night.
She walked in front of Esdeath, blocking her way.
“Do you want to try what it feels like to be thrown into the universe before the Big Bang?”
Ryougi Shiki’s words were still calm, without a trace of emotion, but they made the murderous Esdeath stiffen all over, and the ice spear in her hand also stopped moving.
The king’s warning is absolute.
When you take action, there will be energy fluctuations and sounds.
This is the highest ban.
“Then what do you say we should do? Just let her stand at the door and watch?”
Esdeath growled unwillingly, her voice so low that she looked like a wild beast bound by chains.
“Her spying, her every breath, the light on her body, is itself a blasphemy to our king!”
“Her intentions were not hostile.”
Ryougi Shiki’s evil eyes that could see the death of all things were staring at Fate quietly.
In her vision, although the death line on Fate’s body was clear and powerful, it did not show any active aggressiveness.
Instead, it is filled with confusion, vigilance and deep fear.
“She was just observing, and under the rules that had just been rewritten, observation without malicious intent would not trigger his passive defense.
But if we attack proactively, that’s different.”
Ryougi Shiki paused and spoke with a heavier tone.
“We will become a distraction.
The universe will decide that we threaten its foundations.
You know the consequences.”
Ryougi Shiki’s words were like a basin of ice water, extinguishing Esdeath’s boiling fighting spirit.
It also calmed down the other girls.
Yes, they are the most unstable factor in this room.
Lin Mo is the cornerstone of the universe, and they are a circle of explosives surrounding the cornerstone.
Kaguya Shinomiya’s super brain was working at full speed. Attacking was impossible, communication was impossible, so what could she do?
Bribery with money? An organization like the Space-Time Administration probably has no concept of money.
Threaten with words? The other party had failed to establish a mental connection. Ordinary conversation would be too risky and would wake up Lin Mo.
“So, our choice is.”
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at everyone and used her rational thinking to come to an absurd but the only feasible conclusion.
“Nothing.”
Ryougi Shiki spoke for her.
“Ignore her. Treat her like a nonexistent backdrop, like a pink streetlight that happens to be on outside the window.
As long as she doesn’t take any further action, we will maintain the status quo.
Any unnecessary action is playing with fire, and the stakes are the survival of the entire world.”
This decision made Esdeath feel extremely depressed.
She had to watch a potential threat lingering at the door of the king’s bedroom.
And doing nothing would be more painful than killing her.
But she didn’t dare to gamble, the king’s sleep was above everything else.
She could only force herself to suppress her murderous intent, but her eyes were still as sharp as a knife.
Thus, an extremely strange picture was frozen.
Inside the apartment, four stunning young girls, plus a princess of the origin who had blended into the shadows, pretended nothing had happened, and some took out their phones to handle official business (in silent mode).
Some closed their eyes to rest, while others began to study the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator, thinking about their equally silent breakfast.
Outside the apartment, the ace magician of the Space-Time Administration was suspended in mid-air, caught in a dilemma. He could only maintain the highest alert and conduct futile observations.
The two sides, separated by an invisible door and a thin layer of air, were caught in a tacit and peaceful confrontation that could be called a cosmic wonder.
Fate felt like he was going crazy.
She sent an emergency communication to the headquarters, reporting the situation in detail.
When goals merge with the laws of the world.
Mental link failed, S+ level multiple high-energy reaction.
When these words, EX-level recoil energy, were transmitted back to the Asura battleship through the encrypted channel.
The entire bridge fell into deathly silence.
Admiral Regias looked at the report for a long time before he squeezed out new instructions from between his teeth.
“Maintain observation until further orders are given.
All forms of contact are prohibited.
Fate, you have only one mission, to survive.
Surviving is the greatest achievement.”
Fate received the order and felt bitter.
The goal of her first mission was not to fight, not to rescue, not to seal, but to survive.
This night is destined to be a sleepless one for many beings in the multiverse.
Chapter 14: Echoes of the Abyss and Guardian Protocol (Old Version)
During the confrontation, every second seemed as long as a century.
Both groups of people inside and outside the apartment were suffering from extreme tension and vigilance.
In the end, it was the night watch alliance in the apartment that encountered new difficulties first.
The source of this problem is not any dimensional invaders, but themselves.
“that.”
Mai Sakurajima pointed to the empty pizza boxes that they had piled in the corner.
“What should we do with this garbage?”
An extremely realistic and extremely fatal problem.
Pizza boxes are made of paper and can make noises if not handled properly.
Throw it into the trash can? There will be a thump.
Just take it out of the apartment? The surveillance camera of the Space Administration Bureau is still outside.
Any attempt to open the door and leave would be seen as a provocation and could lead to unnecessary conflict.
Let Hayasaka Ai send someone to handle it? Kaguya just rejected this proposal.
The reason is the same as above. The entry of outsiders will bring more uncontrollable noise and risks.
“How about we eat it?”
Sakurajima Mai suggested whimsically, then she shuddered and shook her head in disgust.
“No, that’s gross, and I just ate.”
“I can use ice to break it down into the finest powder and then have it blown away by the wind.”
Esdeath once again proposed a powerful plan, which she felt was clean and efficient.
“Energy fluctuation! Rule 2!”
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately objected. She felt like she was about to become a parrot who only knew how to say no.
She rubbed her temples, feeling that dealing with these teammates was more troublesome than facing an S-class magician.
Shinomiya Kaguya held her forehead with her hand. She felt the dignity and wisdom of being the daughter of a chaebol.
Being rubbed repeatedly by a small, greasy pizza box.
She even began to wonder if she could buy the pizza company right away and order them to develop an edible pizza box that could decompose silently.
This thought only flashed through his mind, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. At this moment, Ryougi Shiki, who had been silent all this time, moved again.
She seems to be the only problem solver in the group.
She walked to the pizza box, stretched out her finger, and tapped one of the corners of the box.
Her magic eyes that can see the death of all things saw the death of this pizza box and saw the shortest path from its existence to its extinction.
The next second, the huge pizza box made no sound and produced no light.
It completely disintegrated silently at the microscopic level and turned into a handful of white powder finer than dust.
Finally, it dissipated into the air without leaving even a trace. “…” “…” “…” “…” The living room fell into a brief silence.
“Don’t you think this is energy fluctuation?”
Mai Sakurajima asked stutteringly. This method was even more bizarre and terrifying than Esdeath’s freezing and decomposition.
“I didn’t use energy.”
Ryougi Shiki replied calmly and walked back to her corner.
“I just ‘killed’ it.
This is an operation at the conceptual level and does not produce any energy overflow at the physical level.
For this new world, this operation will not be recorded in its system log. “
Everyone was speechless again. They felt that their worldview had been shattered into a QR code, and if they scanned it again, it would shatter again.
It turns out that loopholes in the program can be exploited in this way.
Once the garbage problem is solved, new problems arise.
Just when everyone thought they could take a breath, on the sofa, in Lin Mo’s trouser pocket, the key to the abyss that he had casually thrown into the pocket was found.
Suddenly there was a faint pulsation, invisible to the naked eye.
It has been with Lin Mo for so long and has experienced the baptism of cosmic upgrade.
A wonderful qualitative change has taken place in itself.
It is no longer just a key to another world, it has become a signal receiver.
A terminal that can receive and parse the rules of this new world and present them in a way that can be understood by mortals.
The next moment, there was a stream that was neither a sound nor words, but a pure flow of information, like a trickle of water.
At the same time, it was infused into the deep consciousness of all the extraordinary beings present.
This flow of information precisely locked onto their souls, making it impossible to resist or escape.
This includes the five girls in the apartment, as well as Fate Testrosa floating outside the door.
Detecting individuals with deep causal links to the ‘first cause’
Identity authentication in progress…Authentication completed.
‘Guardian Protocol’ has been activated.
Welcome to join the ‘First Cause’ maintenance system.
A series of cold, emotionless mechanical prompts emerged in their minds.
Next, a futuristic translucent panel appeared, similar to the one seen in science fiction movies.
It suddenly appeared in their field of vision, and only they could see it.
“What the hell is this!”
Mai Sakurajima was the first to scream, but she immediately covered her mouth tightly, her big eyes filled with shock and curiosity.
Kaguya and Yukino were also shocked, and their first reaction was that they were hallucinating.
But the information that was directly imprinted in the soul was extremely real. Esdeath frowned even more.
She felt like something was being forced into her head, and it didn’t sit well with her. But she could feel it.
The source of this system is the same as that of the Wang on the sofa, which made her suppress the idea of ​​resistance.
Only Ryougi Shiki’s expression remained calm. She seemed to accept this development well, because in her opinion,
After the world is rewritten, it is reasonable for a system patch or operation interface to appear.
Fate outside almost fell from mid-air.
“Lightning Battle Axe! What did you scan? My visual system has been hacked!”
“Master! I, this interface also appeared in my system!
This, this doesn’t conform to any principles of magical engineering!
It bypassed all my firewalls and wrote information into my core programs!
Its authority…its authority is higher than the highest order of the Space-Time Administration Bureau!”
For the first time, the electronic sound of the Lightning Axe carried a sense of fear.
The girls suppressed their shock and began to study the system interface that suddenly appeared.
The interface is simple and full of pragmatism.
At the top is Lin Mo’s real-time status, which looks like a server that needs to be monitored closely.
First cause: Lin Mo
State: Deep sleep (comfort level: 99.8%)
World stability coefficient: 99.9999% (positively correlated with the comfort of the ‘first cause’) Warning:
For every 0.1% drop in comfort, the world’s stability factor will experience unpredictable and drastic fluctuations.
This alone made everyone’s heart rise to their throat.
It turns out that their efforts have been quantified!
And the consequences are clearly marked, which makes them more stressed.
At the bottom of the interface is their respective personal information.
Guardian: Kaguya Shinomiya
Title: The Ruler of Gold
Attributes: Resource Control (EX), Wisdom (S), Mental Power (A), Combat Power (C) System Points: 100
Guardian: Yukinoshita Yukino

Temporary observer: Fate Testrosa Harawin
Title: The Ace of the Spacetime Administration
Attributes: Aerial Combat Ability (S), Magic Output (S), Defense (A+), Current Situation (F-) System Points: 0
Everyone’s expression became interesting when they saw their attributes listed so clearly.
Kaguya is satisfied with her EX-level resource control, but dissatisfied with her C-level combat capability.
Esdeath looked as if it was a matter of course when she saw her EX combat power, but snorted coldly when she saw the cooperation of that D-.
Mai Sakurajima is very interested in her unstable factor (EX) attribute and thinks it is very cool.
Fate, who was far away outside the door, felt deeply humiliated and powerless when he saw the last current situation (F-) and system points (0) in his column.
What shocked them the most was that there was a line of small words at the end of the system interface.
Guardian Protocol.
Article 1: Protecting the peace of the “First Cause” is the highest and only mission.
Article 2: All forms of internal friction between Guardians are prohibited.
Article 3: You can obtain system points by completing maintenance tasks issued by the system, and the points can be used to redeem rewards.
A gamified, absurd, yet extremely real guardian era has begun.
Chapter 15: The First Mission and the Most Expensive Door in the World (Old Version)
This sudden “system” completely changed the tense and delicate balance in the apartment.
Originally, the cooperation between the girls was based on the fear of Lin Mo’s awakening. It was a fragile, temporary and forced covenant.
But now the emergence of the Guardian Protocol has forcibly bound them together, forming an officially certified “team” with common goals and rules.
“System, tasks, points.”
Shinomiya Kaguya murmured to herself, her super brain was processing this incredible information at an astonishing speed.
After the fear and shock, a whole new way of thinking took their place.
She realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to please Lin Mo or maintain world stability in a quantitative, systematic, and safe way.
This is much clearer and more efficient than the previous mode that relied purely on guesswork and fear. Yukinoshita Yukino is analyzing the nature of this system.
It seemed to be a management tool automatically generated by the Key of the Abyss after it was passively transformed by Lin Mo and combined with the laws of the new world.
Its appearance means that this upgraded world is undergoing self-improvement and self-protection.
And they are the core part of this protection mechanism.
Esdeath was not interested in these complicated analyses. She only saw the two items: combat power (EX) and rewards for completing tasks.
This gave her a new purpose.
Since she cannot fight the strong directly, she will prove her worth by completing the mission and show her strength to our king!
“Oh, so we are colleagues now?”
Mai Sakurajima has the best adaptability, and she has already started teasing in a relaxed tone.
“Well, as your seniors, Kaguya-san and Yukino-san, please give us your guidance in the future.”
Her eyes flickered back and forth between Kaguya and Yukino, full of amusement.
Just as they were each digesting this shocking turn of events, a soft red light flashed on everyone’s system interface at the same time.
Emergency maintenance task has been issued
Task Name: Structural Integrity Repair
Mission Description: There is a structural gap (a missing door) in the residence of the ‘First Cause’.
This gap not only affects the appearance and reduces physical and magical defense, but more importantly, it destroys the subconscious sense of security and privacy of the “First Cause”.
The defect is reducing comfort levels by 0.0001% per minute.
Mission requirements: Repair the structural gap in absolute silence within one hour.
Mission reward: 500 system points, shared skill silent construction LV1.
Failure penalty: The comfort level of the “First Cause” decreases by 1%, triggering an unknown planetary disaster. 】
Seeing the mission description and the penalty for failure, everyone’s heart was in their throat.
One hour!
“Quick! Quick!”
Shinomiya Kaguya could no longer remain elegant. She suddenly took out her cell phone, her fingers trembling with nervousness.
She opened an encrypted address book and dialed the number of the CEO of the Shinomiya family directly.
“It’s me.”
Her voice was very low, but her tone was full of unquestionable majesty.
“Fifteen minutes! I don’t care what method you use, you must send the Absolute Gate to me within fifteen minutes!
Use the highest level of “ghost transport” team! Remember, from transportation to installation, no sound exceeding 10 decibels can be made!
If anything goes wrong, you will all jump off the orbital space station and apologize!” After hanging up the phone, Kaguya’s chest rose and fell violently.
For the first time, she realized that her family’s huge financial resources, enough to influence the world economy, were used in this way.
“Kaguya-san, you ordered the door before?”
Yukinoshita Yukino was a little surprised.
“certainly.”
Kaguya answered in a matter-of-fact tone.
“When the door of his house disappeared because of that skeleton, I had already ordered its development and manufacturing.
The Shinomiya family’s crisis plan includes a clause for dealing with the wrath of gods. Although I didn’t expect it to be used so soon.”
Everyone has a new understanding of the strength of the Shinomiya Group.
The waiting time is tormenting.
While they were staring at Lin Mo’s decreasing comfort level on the system interface, they were also nervously watching the movements outside the door.
Fate outside the apartment also received a mission notification.
But her interface showed an assisting mission, and she had no initiative at all. She could only watch and worry.
She didn’t understand why repairing a door had become a planet-threatening emergency. Fourteen minutes later.
In the corridor outside the apartment, there was a subtle distortion in the space.
A team of twelve people, wearing black stealth suits that looked like liquid metal, emerged from the shadows like ghosts.
They made no sound, not even a movement of air.
Behind them, there was a huge door suspended, made of some kind of dark matter that was constantly changing its form.
When Fate saw this team, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her lightning axe frantically sounded the alarm.
“Master! High-tech stealth troops detected! They are equipped with space phase distortion devices and anti-causal detection coatings!
Neither our optical nor our magical detection systems can completely lock onto them!”
The technological level of Kaguya’s “Ghost Transport” team has even surpassed the conventional knowledge of the Space-Time Administration.
The captain of the team gave a silent, perfect bow to Kaguya in the apartment.
Then, the installation began. It was an incredible construction.
They did not use any tools, but simply pushed the “Door of Absolute” gently towards the door-shaped hole.
The moment the door touched the wall, it merged into it like liquid, and the dark matter automatically extended, achieving perfect fusion with the wall at the atomic level.
The whole process was incredibly fast and truly achieved “absolute silence”.
Fifty-eight minutes later, when the “Absolute Gate” was completely installed and integrated into the entire building, a prompt sound indicating that the mission was completed sounded on the system interface.
Emergency maintenance task completed
Rating: Excellent. It took 58 minutes and the noise level was less than 3 decibels.
Rewards have been issued: 500 system points, shared skill ‘Silent Construction LV1’.
The comfort level of the First Cause has stopped decreasing and is slowly rising. The world’s stability factor has been restored.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had won a world war. Kaguya’s personal account had 100 more points.
She took a look at the shared skill Silent Construction LV1. The effect was simple: it consumed mental energy and could create a soundproof barrier in a designated area.
This is a very practical skill.
However, they didn’t have time to be happy for more than three seconds.
The system interface flashes again.
World Threat Alert
Alarm source: Integrated information thought body
Threat Overview: An interstellar fleet composed of pure information has entered this system. Its mode of action is observation and information gathering.
Due to the Great Silence phenomenon caused by the ‘First Cause’, the fleet has listed Earth as the highest priority observation target.
Threat Level: Beta (cannot cause physical harm to the current world, but its high-intensity observation behavior may interfere with the dreams of the ‘First Cause’, posing a risk of reducing its comfort level).
New maintenance tasks have been released:
Banish snoopers.
Mission requirements: Without generating any “noise” at the physical or energy level, make the ‘Integrated Information Thought Body’ fleet leave this galaxy.
Mission reward: 1000 system points, special item concept overwrite remote control (single use).
Failure penalty: The fleet’s observation behavior will 100% disturb the “First Cause” and trigger an unpredictable world-destroying disaster.
Looking at this new task, the girls’ faces turned green.
Destroy a star fleet? And do it without making any noise?
How is this possible?!
Chapter 16 Celestial Billiards and Concept Remote Control (Old Version)
“Destroy a star fleet? And without making any sound?”
Mai Sakurajima looked at the new tasks on the system panel and felt that her imagination was challenged like never before.
“Are you kidding? We can’t just run over and tell them, ‘Shh, keep your voice down, is there someone sleeping here?'”
“The problem is not being quiet, but making no physical or energetic noise.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression was extremely solemn. She pointed at the line of words that stated the task requirements and analyzed them word by word.
“This means that any form of combat, energy shocks, physical collisions, and even large-scale magical barriers are prohibited.
We can’t attack them, or even let them know we’re expelling them.”
“Isn’t that unsolvable?”
Shinomiya Kaguya’s brows were tightly furrowed.
For the first time, she discovered that the financial resources and technology that her family was so proud of were so pale and powerless in the face of such rules and restrictions.
She can fire railguns and deploy space-based weapons, but this will create a huge noise and directly lead to mission failure.
Esdeath paced back and forth anxiously, like a lioness in a cage.
There were enemies but she couldn’t fight them, which made her feel uncomfortable.
A star fleet! What an adversary!
If she could let go, she was confident that she could freeze the entire fleet into the most gorgeous ice sculpture in the universe.
But now, she could only suppress this impulse deep in her heart.
Outside the apartment, Fate was in the same predicament.
The formation of that huge fleet was clearly displayed on her magic device.
It was a huge cluster composed of countless geometric pure information bodies that were shining with light blue.
They are unfolding in the Earth’s synchronous orbit in a strange way that defies physical inertia, forming a huge observation array.
“Master, it is an information integration of the ‘Nagato Yuki’ type!
According to the Administration, they are the most persistent observers in the universe, and once they lock onto a target, their observation will not stop unless the target itself disappears. “
Fate’s heart sank to the bottom after hearing the analysis of the Lightning Axe.
This means that conventional methods of expulsion are simply ineffective against them.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ryougi Shiki, the woman who always provided solutions at critical moments, spoke again.
She didn’t say anything, but walked to the coffee table in the middle of the living room, pointed her finger at the TV remote control that was casually thrown on the coffee table.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and were stunned.
A remote control? For a time like this?
“you mean.”
A light bulb went off in Yukinoshita Yukino’s head, and she remembered the time when Ryougi Shiki used a supermarket discount card to pay off the delivery guy.
“Has this remote control also been tainted by his ‘reason’?”
Ryougi Shiki nodded.
“He used it before, and there are traces of his presence on it.”
“But it’s just a TV remote. What does it have to do with Starfleet?”
Mai Sakurajima still couldn’t understand.
“The key to the mission is to expel, not to eliminate.”
Ryougi Shiki explained.
“That fleet is an information body, and their behavior mode is observation. Television is also a tool for receiving and processing information signals.
The remote control is a tool for changing signal channels.”
Her explanation was choppy and full of conceptual leaps.
But Yukinoshita and Kaguya, two girls with top-notch brains, understood what she meant almost at the same time.
“You mean.”
Kaguya’s voice was trembling with excitement.
“Can we use this remote control to change the frequency that the fleet is receiving and forcibly change their target?”
This is an incredibly crazy and completely irrational idea.
But in this apartment dominated by Lin Mo’s will, it seems to be full of absurd rationality.
“You can try.”
The two rituals are concise and to the point.
“I’ll do it!”
Mai Sakurajima volunteered to come forward. She was always enthusiastic about such interesting things.
She grabbed the plain remote control and felt that what she was holding in her hands was not plastic and circuit boards, but the fate of the entire universe.
“Well, dear audience, now is the moment to witness a miracle!”
She imitated the tone of a TV host, with a smile on her face that looked like she was eager to cause chaos in the world.
She pointed the remote at the ceiling, as if there was an invisible TV there connected to the entire universe.
“Which channel should we switch to for these annoying peeping Toms?”
she asked with interest.
“Anywhere. The farther the better.”
Kaguya said without hesitation.
Mai Sakurajima thought about it and pressed the channel + button on the remote control.
The next second in geosynchronous orbit.
All units of that huge fleet composed of integrated information and thought entities stopped all observation activities at the same moment.
Their light blue light turned into a dazzling snow screen in an instant, just like an old TV with poor signal.
Then, an irresistible “instruction” from a higher dimension overwrote their core programs.
New instruction received.
Change of objective: Observe the gravitational collision process between the Andromeda Galaxy M31 and the Triangulum Galaxy M33.
Task priority: Highest.
Estimated time: 4 billion years.
The command was overwritten. The entire fleet, the billions of information units, lit up again.
They changed direction in a uniform and seamless movement, then instantly accelerated to superluminal speed, transforming into streams of blue light.
It went towards the Andromeda Galaxy and never came back. During the whole process, there was no sound and no energy was lost.
They just left.
It was as if an impatient viewer had just casually changed the TV channel to one he didn’t want to watch.
Outside the apartment, Fate stared in amazement at the star map on the magic device that instantly became empty. She felt that her processor was about to burn out.
“Master… the threat… is gone. They were forcibly transported two and a half million light years away.”
The electronic sound of the Lightning Axe began to stutter.
Inside the apartment, everyone’s system interface simultaneously popped up a notification that the task was completed.
Maintenance mission ‘Eliminate the Snoopers’ completed
Comment: Perfect. The mission was accomplished in an unimaginable way and in absolute silence.
Rewards have been issued: 1000 system points, special item concept overwrite remote control (single use).
Looking at the large amount of extra points in the account, and the prop that looked exactly like an ordinary remote control lying quietly in the shared warehouse.
The girls fell into a long silence.
“I feel.”
Mai Sakurajima put down the remote control in her hand and said with a complicated expression.
“It seems that we are not protecting the world, but cleaning up the mess of a naughty child. And we are using his own toys.”
This metaphor received silent approval from everyone.
They are gradually understanding their place in this new world.
Not a warrior, not a hero, but a nanny.
A group of the strongest and most humble nannies in history who manage the laws of the universe.
Chapter 17: Wei Han’s Dream and the Covenant of Dawn (Old Version)
The successful expulsion of the Starfleet temporarily eased the atmosphere in the apartment.
Although the process was as bizarre as a dream, there were real points in the account and the item called the concept override remote control.
Reminding them that all this is real.
“We have a point now.”
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her system interface with a shrewd gleam in her eyes.
She immediately opened the exchange mall that came with the system.
Others also gathered around curiously. They all wanted to see what kind of rewards this mysterious system could provide.
The moment the mall interface opened, everyone gasped.
The products inside are all kinds of strange and bizarre, full of trampling on common sense.
Mineral water drunk by ‘First Cause’ (half bottle): sold for 100 points.
Effect: After drinking, it can heal all physical, magical, spiritual and conceptual injuries, and gain a weak resistance to “sense of existence”.
A hair of the First Cause: Sold for 500 points.
Effect: Can be used as a core material to forge a divine weapon with the attribute of “severing cause and effect”.
Sigh of the First Cause (recording): Price: 1000 points.
Effect: After playing, all intelligent life in the designated galaxy will fall into a deep “Sage Time” lasting 24 hours, losing all aggression and desire.
Supermarket discount card of ‘First Cause’ (replica): Price: 2000 points. Effect: Show it to any non-divine creature to forcefully modify its cognition and make it unconditionally obey a simple command.
‘First Cause”s’ favorite cashmere blanket (same style): Price: 5,000 points.
Effect: After equipping, you can obtain the ‘absolute comfort’ state, immune to all mental control and negative emotional influences…
Looking at the rows and rows of dazzling merchandise, the girls’ worldview was once again impacted.
They finally understood their position completely.
They are not heroes protecting the world, they are just serving a sleeping god.
All their efforts, all their struggles, all their battles.
What one gets in the end is nothing but the inconspicuous, disposable “garbage” in the god’s daily life.
However, these “junk” are actually artifacts that are enough to drive any world crazy.
This cognition brings about an extreme sense of absurdity and powerlessness, but is also mixed with a hint of morbid excitement of being able to approach the secrets of God.
“This mineral water.”
Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at the product with a complicated expression.
She is a person with mysophobia, but she knows very well that the value of this half bottle of water is enough to buy the entire earth.
“I want to redeem this!”
Esdeath pointed at the hair, her eyes full of fanaticism.
A magical weapon that can cut off cause and effect! This weapon is tailor-made for her! “Don’t spend impulsively.”
Shinomiya Kaguya stopped her immediately, showing the calmness of a capitalist.
“Points are precious. We don’t know when the next mission will come, so we must use them wisely.”
Just as they were studying this “God’s garbage dump” with great interest.
The most horrible situation that they had been trying to avoid happened. Lin Mo, who had been sleeping peacefully on the sofa, suddenly moved slightly and unconsciously.
His brows were slightly furrowed.
An unclear, sleepy mumbling escaped from his lips. “Cold.”
The word was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
But in the ears of the girls, it was no less loud than the roar of the Big Bang.
Almost at the same time, the system interfaces of all of them turned into a glaring blood red, representing the highest alert!
The comfort level of the ‘first cause’ has dropped by 0.1%!
Triggering cause: The ambient temperature deviates by 0.5 degrees Celsius from the subconscious expectation of the ‘first cause’.
Alert: If this deviation cannot be corrected within five minutes, the dream of ‘First Cause’ will enter the ‘slightly cold’ state.
This may cause abnormalities in the core activity of the planet, including but not limited to chain reactions such as axial shift and super volcanic eruptions.
Panic! Unprecedented, bone-deep panic instantly gripped everyone’s heart.
In previous missions, the penalty for failure was just the “possibility” of triggering a disaster.
This time, the system clearly pointed out the consequences! “Quick! Turn up the air conditioner temperature!” Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to react. She pointed at the central air conditioner controller on the wall.
“It’s too late!” Kaguya Shinomiya immediately rejected it.
“It takes time for the central air conditioner to heat up, and the sound of the air flow might disturb him further!”
Esdeath felt a gentle chill rising from her body, and she immediately realized that something was wrong. She forcibly reversed her power and tried to release the heat.
“I can use my powers.”
“No! The essence of your power is ice!
Forced reversal will produce unstable energy fluctuations!”
Ryougi Shiki interrupted her coldly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the countdown on the system interface hung over their heads like the scythe of the god of death.
Shinomiya Kaguya was even ready to use her points to exchange for something in the mall to solve the problem.
In the midst of this chaos, Sakurajima Mai, the woman who always comes up with fresh ideas, suddenly thought of something.
“Wait a minute! Why are we making it so complicated?”
She said loudly (in a breathy voice).
She rushed to the bedroom deep inside the apartment, and a few seconds later, rushed out holding a top-quality cashmere blanket that looked incredibly soft and warm.
“He feels cold, so why not just cover him with a blanket?”
This simplest and most common-sense solution stunned the other girls with high IQ and fighting skills.
Yes, they were so dazzled by the extraordinary powers and incredible scenes that they even forgot the most basic common sense of life.
“quick!”
This time, no one objected.
This was an unprecedented, sacred yet ridiculous ceremony.
Five stunning girls, Esdeath, Kaguya, Yukino, Mai, and even the usually unsociable Ryougi Shiki, all joined in.
Each of them grabbed a corner of the blanket, and their movements were as gentle as if they were treating a newly unearthed, extremely fragile, and rare artifact.
They carefully, holding their breath, gently and slowly covered Lin Mo with the warm blanket.
The moment the soft cashmere touched his body, a miracle happened.
Lin Mo’s slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed.
He even unconsciously curled up into the warm blanket and made a satisfied, slight nasal sound.
The blood-red alarm on the system interface disappeared instantly and turned back to green, which represents safety.
The emergency alert has been lifted.
Evaluation: The response was timely and the handling method was perfect.
Because the guardians have demonstrated excellent life habits and caregiving awareness, special rewards: 200 system points.
New item unlocked: ‘First Cause’s’ favorite cashmere blanket, effect:…
After seeing the notification that the mission was completed, the five girls almost collapsed on the carpet at the same time, gasping for breath.
These short five minutes were more thrilling than any battle they had ever experienced.
Outside the window, the first rays of morning light penetrated the clouds and poured into this top-floor apartment that had experienced a long night.
The golden sunlight illuminated the boy who was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping soundly on the sofa.
It also illuminated the five girls on the floor, who were in different postures but equally exhausted.
They looked at each other’s miserable appearance, and then looked at the sleeping source of all the disasters.
Suddenly I couldn’t help laughing (silently).
There was no longer only fanaticism in Esdeath’s eyes, but also a hint of tenderness that she herself had not even noticed.
The tit-for-tat competition between Kaguya and Yukino seemed to have been diluted a lot by the life-and-death test they experienced together.
Mai Sakurajima feels that this is more interesting than making any movie.
Ryougi Shiki just looked at the morning light quietly, and felt that this forcibly reinforced world seemed to have become a little warmer.
The long and terrifying night finally passed.
The strongest “Nanny Alliance” in history, composed of five goddesses surrounding the Sleeping God.
At this moment, in the twilight of dawn, the first and most solid covenant was concluded.
They know this is just the beginning.
Their daily life, their world, and even the future of the entire universe.
Everything will be tightly tied to this man’s every turn and every mumbling in his sleep.
Chapter 18: The Awakening of the Gods and the Breakfast War (Old Version)
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the strange creation known as the “Absolute Gate” that was built overnight by the Shinomiya Group.
It struggled to cast a small spot of light on the living room floor.
This door, rather than being a door, is more like a piece of pure darkness that absorbs all light and sound.
It is quietly embedded in the hole in the wall, like a fragment from the depths of the universe.
It brought a belated, fragile tranquility to this penthouse apartment that had experienced a battle between gods.
No sleep all night.
Five extremely beautiful girls were now staggering around the living room, with expressions of deep fatigue on their faces.
This fatigue does not come from the body, but from the exhaustion after hours of high mental tension.
Shinomiya Kaguya leaned against a corner of the sofa, her perfect demeanor that usually could captivate everyone gone.
Her carefully groomed school uniform was wrinkled, and her red eyes, which used to sparkle with wisdom and calculation, now looked a little dim.
The screen of her mobile phone was still on, and on it was a top-secret report on the “Integrated Information Thought Body” and the “Space-Time Administration” sent from the Shinomiya family’s global intelligence network.
Each piece of information was enough to throw a country into panic, but now, they only made her feel more headache.
Yukinoshita Yukino curled up on the carpet, hugging her knees.
Her cold face was filled with fatigue. Her physique brought by her ice and snow blood made her not afraid of the cold, but she was not immune to mental exhaustion.
Her brain, the super processor that was used to analyzing everything with logic and reason, was formatted repeatedly last night and is now in a delicate state of downtime.
She looked at the sleeping figure on the sofa and realized for the first time that there is something in the world that cannot be understood but can only be accepted.
Mai Sakurajima was in a slightly better position. She found a cushion and lay on her side, with her long thighs stretched out casually, outlining a breathtaking curve.
She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but there was still a faint smile on her lips, as if she was watching the fun. She felt that what she had experienced last night.
It is ten thousand times more exciting than any suspense thriller she has ever starred in.
She even thought that if she wrote this experience into a script, all producers would probably regard it as the ravings of a madman.
Esdeath, the tyrant of eternal winter, was the only one of the five who still stood tall.
She stood guard beside the black “Absolute Door” like the most loyal knight, her ice-blue eyes vigilantly scanning everything outside the door.
Although the pink-haired magician had been motionless for more than ten hours, like a high-tech scarecrow, Esdeath did not relax at all. Her body was tireless.
But in her heart, she was tormented by an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness. There were enemies, but she couldn’t fight them.
She had a king, but could only watch him sleep. This feeling was more painful to her than losing a war.
Ryougi Shiki had already merged back into the deepest shadows of the living room. She held the dagger in her arms and closed her eyes, like a statue that had merged into the darkness.
Her breath was so weak that it was almost non-existent. Only her eyes, which could see the death of all things, occasionally flashed a glimmer of light in the darkness, proving that she was still awake.
The whole living room was eerily quiet.
The “Guardian Protocol” is like an invisible shackle that tightly handcuffs each of them.
The iron rules of the program, especially the one prohibiting “making no sound exceeding 20 decibels”, made them subconsciously breathe lighter.
In this almost frozen silence.
On the sofa, Lin Mo, the source of all disasters and miracles, who had been sleeping all night, his eyelashes trembled slightly and unconsciously.
This movement, so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, was like dropping a nuclear bomb on the silent lake.
Swish!
Five women, five top beings from different worlds with different abilities, suddenly focused their eyes on Lin Mo at the same time, with a synchronization rate that exceeded the limits of physics.
Their bodies instantly tensed up, their breathing stopped, and their hearts beat wildly.
Here we come!
He is waking up!
This thought, like billions of volts of electricity, instantly pierced their souls.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
What kind of eyes are those?
There was no longer the golden divine light that had rewritten the universe last night, nor was there the indifference he had shown when facing Gilgamesh and Ainz.
In those dark pupils, there was only the pure, somewhat dazed laziness that is unique to when one has just woken up.
He stretched.
An action that couldn’t be more ordinary.
But at this moment, the entire world, the entire universe was forcibly upgraded by him.
Because of his stretching movement, a silent and benign “resonance” occurred.
The earth’s magnetic field became extremely stable and harmonious in an instant.
The orbits of all the planets in the solar system.
They all underwent a subtle self-correction that tended towards the perfect golden ratio.
In the deeper and more distant universe, the evolution speed of countless newborn nebulae has been accelerated by 0.001%.
Outside the apartment, Fate Testrossa was suspended in mid-air, and the lightning axe in her hand suddenly emitted a rapid, joyful electronic sound.
“Master! The background parameters of the world are being optimized! This is the follow-up effect of the ‘Great Silence’! This world is becoming more ‘healthy’!”
Fate ignored the report from the magic device. All her attention was focused on the young man who had just sat up.
Lin Mo sat up, and the blanket in his arms slipped off. He rubbed his messy hair and looked around the living room.
When his eyes swept over the five girls who seemed to be petrified, a hint of confusion appeared on his sleepy face.
“Why are you all at my house?”
His voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
This was the thought that flashed through the minds of the five girls.
How are they going to explain?
You said we were afraid that you would snore and shake the earth, so we stayed here to keep watch over you all night?
That we formed a “night watch alliance” and developed an action plan that is as secret as the highest level of military secrets, including how to tuck you in and deal with pizza boxes?
That you used a remote control that could change Starfleet channels like a TV show?
Any explanation seems so absurd.
In this atmosphere that was awkward enough to freeze time, Lin Mo’s stomach growled at a very inopportune time.
He touched his belly and then, in a tone that was perfectly normal, made a request that was perfectly normal.
“I’m hungry.”
The moment the words fell.
bite!
A new task prompt popped up on everyone’s system interface at the same time.
[Emergency maintenance task has been released][Mission Name: God’s Breakfast][Mission Description: ‘First Cause’ has awakened from his deep sleep, and his body is in a state of energy deficit.
A perfect breakfast will greatly enhance one’s comfort and have a decisive positive impact on the stability of today’s world. 】
[Task requirements: Within 30 minutes, prepare a breakfast that can make the “First Cause” satisfaction reach “Excellent” or above.][Task rewards: issued based on satisfaction level.
Basic reward: 300 points. The reward doubles for each level of satisfaction (excellent/perfect/impeccable). 】
[Failure penalty: ‘First Cause’ will have negative emotions due to hunger, and comfort will decrease by 5%. The global stock market will randomly evaporate 10%~30% of its market value today.]The war begins again.
This time, it’s the breakfast war.
Kaguya Shinomiya was the first to react, and her eyes lit up with amazing light.
Are you kidding me? A competition of cooking skills? No, this is a competition of resources, taste, and understanding of Lin Mo!
This is her area of ​​expertise!
She immediately took out her cell phone and prepared to contact her legendary chef who had cooked for more than 30 heads of state.
“no!”
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately objected. She stepped in front of Kaguya, her cold eyes filled with unquestionable determination.
“Lin Mojun’s taste tends to be light and Japanese.
Those fancy Western dishes only disgust him.
Moreover, the meaning of breakfast lies in the thought, not in the expensive ingredients. This breakfast must be made by us ourselves.”
Her words were powerful.
“Do it yourself?”
Esdeath sneered and pushed the two away, exuding strong confidence.
“You spoiled young ladies, do you know what real food is?
The best ingredients always come from the most dangerous hunts! The king’s breakfast should be the heart of the most powerful creature in the world!
I have just sensed that in the deep trenches of the South Pacific, there is a sleeping ancient Leviathan, and its heart and flesh contain energy comparable to that of a star.
Give me five minutes and I’ll put it”
“Just shut up!”
Kaguya and Yukino growled at her almost in unison.
Are you kidding me? Going to the trench to catch Leviathan?
When she came back, the earth had exploded because Lin Mo was too hungry!
“That I said”
Mai Sakurajima raised her hand and weakly made a suggestion, “Can we first ask him what he wants to eat?”
This extremely reasonable and normal suggestion stunned the other three women who were in a “state of war”.
yes.
It seems like I could ask first.
Their eyes all turned to Lin Mo who was sitting on the sofa.
Lin Mo felt a little frightened by their gazes. He was just hungry, so what was wrong with these people?
“casual.”
He squeezed out two words from between his teeth, then lay down again, picked up his phone and started watching short videos.
casual.
These two words are the most terrible curse in the world.
It directly raises the difficulty of the problem from “solving a question” to “free-flowing argumentative essay”, and it is the kind that concerns the survival of the world.
“I see!”
Kaguya’s eyes sparkled, “‘Whatever’ means is that it tests how well we know him! This is the ultimate test!”
“That’s right.”
Yukino’s eyes also sharpened, “This is the perfect opportunity to show the depth of our bond with him!”
“Hmph, then let your strength speak for itself!”
Esdeath crossed her arms, full of fighting spirit.
“Since I can’t use Leviathan, I’ll use the best Wagyu beef to make barbecue that surpasses everything!”
War is about to break out.
And Ryougi Shiki, the woman who always sees through things, silently walked to the kitchen cabinet and opened the door.
She pulled out a box of strawberry-flavored instant cereal with a cute little bear printed on the packaging.
Then she took out a box of milk that was about to expire from the refrigerator.
She placed the two items on the coffee table in front of Lin Mo.
No words, just looking at him quietly.
Lin Mo, who was watching a boring short video, caught a glimpse of the box of cereal and milk out of the corner of his eye.
He was stunned for a moment.
Then he dropped his phone, sat up, picked up the cereal box, tore it open, and poured it into the bowl.
Unscrew the milk carton and pour it in.
He picked up the spoon and began to eat one bite after another with an expressionless face.
In the kitchen, the three women who were about to stage a chef battle were petrified.
They looked at the man who was eating the cheapest, most ordinary instant cereal.
But the man had a satisfied expression on his face, as if to say, “Ah, that’s the taste.”
I feel like my worldview has been crushed to pieces once again.
[Emergency maintenance mission ‘God’s breakfast’ has been completed][Completed by: Guardian ‘Ryougi Shiki’][Task evaluation: Impeccable. In the shortest time and in the simplest way, it perfectly met the potential needs of the First Cause.][Task Reward: 1200 points (Basic 300 x Perfect Double x Impeccable Double). ][Personal Contribution Reward: Ryougi Shiki gets an additional 500 points, and the title ‘The Realm of the Origin’ adds a new feature – ‘God’s Recipe’ (Passive: There is a 1% chance that you can directly see what ‘First Cause’ wants to eat next). ]Looking at Ryougi Shiki’s skyrocketing points and that new feature that could be called a bug.
Kaguya, Yukino, and Esdeath looked at each other, frustration and unwillingness written all over their faces.
They lost.
A complete defeat.
Lost to a box of strawberry cereal.
Just as they were immersed in the pain of failure, the black “absolute door” of the apartment, the doorbell, rang.
Ding Dong.
The sound was crisp, but it made the girls, who had just experienced a war, tense up again.
A new prompt quietly appeared on the system panel.
[Warning: Causality disturbance. A visitor from the wrong timeline that was pruned has arrived at your door.]Chapter 19: The Pruned Visitor and God’s Mood (Old Version)
The breakfast war ended in a way no one expected.
Ryougi Shiki, the Root Princess who always stays away from the group and seems indifferent to everything.
With a box of strawberry cereal and a box of expired milk, he easily got the highest rating for the “God’s Breakfast” task.
Her system points skyrocketed, and she even gained a passive feature called “God’s Recipe” that could be called a cheat.
In the living room, Kaguya Shinomiya, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Esdeath had the same expression on their faces.
It felt like three top students who had studied hard for ten years were defeated in an incomprehensible way by a genius who handed in a blank paper but got full marks in the final exam.
Frustration, unwillingness, and deep doubt about the rules of this world.
Their pride, their hard work, their resources and power that are enough to subvert the world, at this moment, seem extremely ridiculous.
“I lost.”
Shinomiya Kaguya murmured softly, she leaned back on the sofa, feeling her body hollowed out. She didn’t lose a cooking competition.
Rather, it is the “imperial science” that she has always believed in, that everything can be solved with the best resources.
“I didn’t think it through.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s face turned pale. Her rationality and logic, which she was proud of, were faced with the ultimate question of “whatever”.
Completely ineffective. She tried to define Lin Mo with her own understanding, but the result was extremely wrong.
“hateful!”
Esdeath punched her palm, making a dull sound.
She was unwilling to accept that her Leviathan Heart and her top-quality Wagyu beef had lost to a box of cheap cereal!
This was simply the most unacceptable defeat in her glorious fighting career!
Mai Sakurajima looked at the three top women who were doing the forward bend in frustration and smiled secretly. She felt.
The daily life of this “Guardian Alliance” is more interesting than she imagined.
In this subtle atmosphere.
The doorbell of the “Absolute Gate” built by the Shinomiya Group using dark matter rang.
The sound was not loud, but it was like a thunder, exploding in everyone’s heart.
Coming again?
Is this ever going to end?
Is this apartment now a tourist attraction in another dimension?
Can anyone come and ring the doorbell?
The girls instantly shook off their previous frustration and went into high alert again.
Kaguya immediately called up the surveillance footage of the gate. Yukino subconsciously stood in front of Lin Mo, while Esdeath exuded a dangerous aura, ready to blast the invading enemy to pieces at any time.
At the same time, everyone’s system panel lit up again.
But this time it’s not a mission, but a scarlet warning.
[Warning: Causality disturbance detected][Description: A visitor from a wrong timeline that was pruned by the ‘world’ and should not exist has arrived at the door of the ‘First Cause’s’ residence due to unknown space-time turbulence.]【Visitor’s identity: Okabe Rintaro】
[Threat Level: E (Physical Level) / EX (Causal Contamination Level)][Disposal suggestion: Drive them away or correct their cognition as soon as possible without creating new causal paradoxes.
Any prolonged contact with this individual may cause irreversible damage to the causal stability of this world. 】
Pruned timeline? Causal contamination?
These words made the girls even more nervous.
A man appeared on the surveillance screen.
He was thin and wore a white coat that looked a little pale from being washed, and an ordinary T-shirt underneath.
His hair was messy and his face had a neurotic expression that was a mixture of madness and fatigue.
He had one hand on his waist, and in the other hand was holding an unpowered cell phone. He was talking to the air in an exaggerated tone that sounded like a chuunibyou, making some kind of meaningless “call”.
“It’s me, yes, the agency’s lackeys have already chased us here.
This coordinate point, A-7, is definitely an important stronghold!
I felt the malice from the world line and the choice of Steins;Gate!”
“What? Ask me to retreat? Are you kidding me! I am a mad scientist, Hououin Kyouma!
In order to protect the future of the world, I will never take a step back!
Everything is the choice of Steins;Gate!”
“ElPsyKongroo!”
The man faced the air and struck a pose that he thought looked very handsome.
Inside the apartment, five women looked at the man in the surveillance video who behaved like a mental patient and fell into a long silence.
“Is this the visitor from the wrong timeline?”
The corner of Mai Sakurajima’s mouth twitched.
“Why do I feel like he ran away from a nearby mental hospital?”
“Is the threat level EX because of his brain?”
Shinomiya Kaguya felt her temples throbbing.
She simply couldn’t understand why such a crazy-looking man could pose an EX-level threat involving causal contamination.
“Don’t be careless.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression was serious, “The system will not make mistakes.
His very existence could be a huge causal bomb. We have to handle it with care.”
Esdeath was already getting a little impatient.
“Why are you talking so much? Just open the door, freeze him into an ice cube, and throw him into the sun. Isn’t that the end of it?”
The other four people spoke up to stop him almost at the same time.
Are you kidding? The system clearly stated that no new causal paradoxes could be created. Killing him directly would be the biggest paradox in itself!
Just as they were arguing, Okabe Rintaro outside the door seemed to lose his patience.
He started banging on the door.
“Open the door! I know you are in there, agents of the agency! Hand over Makise Kurisu! What did you do to her?!”
His shouts, after passing through the super soundproofing effect of the “Absolute Gate”, had become very weak by the time they reached inside.
But for the girls, this is still a symphony of death.
Because, on the sofa, Lin Mo, who had just finished eating cereal and was about to enjoy the quietness after dinner, frowned again.
His comfort level began to drop slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Quarrel.”
Lin Mo uttered a word.
In an instant, everyone’s system interface was covered in blood red again.
[Task Name: Cognition Correction][Mission Description: Visitors from the wrong timeline, whose behavior has directly disturbed the peace of the First Cause.][Task requirements: Within three minutes, make visitor Okabe Ryutaro stop all disruptive behaviors and make him leave voluntarily. During the mission, any physical or energy-based violent means are prohibited.][Mission Reward: 500 system points, special item ‘Destiny Detection D-Mail’. ][Failure penalty: The irritability of the First Cause will increase, the concept of “Chuunibyou” in this world will be eradicated from the root, and about 1% of the world’s population will fall into permanent mental confusion. ]Looking at the penalty for failure, everyone gasped.
Erase the concept of “Chuunibyou”?
This sounds funny, but the consequences are extremely serious!
“what to do?”
Kaguya felt that her wits were running out.
Faced with this madman who doesn’t play by the rules, any logic and strategy seem powerless.
Bribe him with money? Looking at his attitude, if you give him 100 million, he might think it’s a conspiracy by the government.
Try to reason with him? He might talk to you about world line theory for three hours.
Ryougi Shiki stood up again.
She walked up to Kaguya and held out her hand.
“Card.”
She uttered a word.
“Card?”
Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
It’s that supermarket discount card!
She immediately opened the system mall and saw the “First Cause Supermarket Discount Card” that cost 2,000 points, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
But now is not the time to feel bad about the points!
She gritted her teeth and chose to exchange.
In an instant, 2,000 points disappeared, and a crumpled discount card exactly the same as Lin Mo’s appeared in her hand.
She handed the card to Ryougi Shiki.
Ryougi Shiki took the card, turned around, and walked towards the black “Absolute Gate”.
She didn’t press the door button, but walked straight through it.
Her body, as if it had no substance, simply merged into the pure darkness and then emerged from the other side.
Outside the door, Okabe Rintaro, who was banging on the door frantically, saw a silver-haired girl in a kimono, with a temperament that was so cold that it didn’t look like a real person, suddenly “seep” out from the door, and he froze.
“Are you a new type of cyborg from the agency?”
His eyes were flashing with a complex mixture of fear and excitement.
Ryougi Shiki ignored his nonsense.
She just held the supermarket discount card in front of Okabe with an expressionless face.
“What is this? Some kind of identification device? Or is this a token of the contract with me?”
Okabe Rintaro’s imagination has reached the sky.
The moment his eyes met the discount card.
His pupils suddenly dilated and then contracted sharply.
His nervous face went blank in an instant.
The “reason” of Lin Mo on that card was like an instruction from the highest authority, instantly covering his confused understanding of the timeline.
“Instructions received.”
Okabe Rintaro muttered to himself in an emotionless, robotic voice.
Ryougi Shiki looked at him and gave orders in her ethereal voice without a trace of fluctuation.
“You didn’t see anything.
You came here to buy a bottle of water. Now, buy it and go home.”
“Go buy some water, as you command.”
Okabe Rintaro turned around stiffly and walked towards the elevator with the steps of a puppet.
He walked into the elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator door slowly closed.
From beginning to end, he didn’t make any sound.
The crisis was once again resolved in an absurd way.
Inside the apartment, the girls breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had won another world war.
A task completion notification also popped up on the system interface.
Seeing the points in her account that had just been restored but immediately lost more than half, Kaguya’s heart was bleeding.
“Well, finally.”
She hasn’t finished her words yet.
On the sofa, Lin Mo suddenly spoke.
“It’s boring.”
He looked at the screen of his mobile phone and yawned. “It’s so boring to watch these every day.”
Everyone’s system panel lit up again, and again.
This time, the mission made everyone’s face turn green.
[Mainline maintenance tasks have been released][Mission Name: God’s Pleasure][Task Description: ‘First Cause’ is tired of all current entertainment methods. His ‘mood’ state has fallen into the ‘boredom’ range.][Task requirements: In the next 24 hours, provide an entertainment activity that can raise the mood of the “First Cause” to “interesting” or above. ][Task rewards: distributed according to mood level. Basic reward: 2000 points.][Failure penalty: The First Cause will subconsciously modify the rules of the world due to extreme boredom.
The concept of “entertainment” in this world will be temporarily separated from the law of causality. Duration: 72 hours. 】
Chapter 20: God’s Entertainment and the Coming of the Maid (Old Version)
Erase the concept of “entertainment” for seventy-two hours.
This penalty for failure was like a giant hammer made of absolute zero ice, smashing hard into the hearts of every guardian.
It was a fear that could not be described in words.
Imagine a world without any “entertainment”.
The movie theater was playing pure noise in black and white, and the audience watched with blank expressions, unable to understand why they were sitting there.
The game console became a useless plastic box, and all the programs inside it turned into a series of meaningless gibberish.
The words and pictures in novels and comics have lost all their storytelling qualities and become a bunch of disorganized symbols.
The music lost its melody and rhythm and turned into harsh, random sound waves.
People will lose their smiles, their passion, and all ways to relieve stress and gain happiness.
Within seventy-two hours, the entire civilization will fall into an unprecedented, deadly mental depression and chaos.
This is more terrifying than any physical destruction of the planet.
“We must cheer him up!”
Shinomiya Kaguya’s voice was trembling. Her usually calm brain, comparable to a supercomputer, was now overloaded with fear.
“I need an entertainment plan!
! Connect me with the best entertainment planning team in the world! No! I want to buy Disney, Sony and Nintendo! Now! Immediately! “
She was giving instructions frantically into the phone, completely losing her usual composure.
But she soon realized that none of this was helpful.
Conventional entertainment can no longer satisfy Lin Mo.
“Calm down, Shinomiya-san.”
Yukinoshita Yukino forced herself to calm down, she took a deep breath, and began to analyze the current situation.
“The key to the mission is ‘interesting’, not ‘expensive’ or ‘grand’. We need creativity, something that can make his eyes light up.”
She looked at Lin Mo, trying to find some clues of his preferences from his expressionless face.
But there, there was only an abyss-like indifference towards everything.
“interesting?”
Esdeath licked her lips, her icy blue eyes gleaming with dangerous excitement.
“I know what’s fun! There’s nothing better than a good, life-or-death battle!
My king, although I cannot fight you, I can recreate for you some of the most glorious battles of my life!”
As she spoke, a huge wave of energy emanated from her body, and she was ready to use the power of the imperial weapon to project an illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in the living room.
“I once killed 400,000 foreigners in the north alone!
The sight of blood flowing like a river and wailing everywhere is enough to make any man’s blood boil! “
“Stop it, ahhhh!”
Kaguya and Yukino were so frightened that they hugged Esdeath tightly from the left and right.
What a joke!
Show a documentary about the murder of 400,000 people to a man who just wants to sleep and eat cereal?
Will he find you funny, or will he think you’re noisy and throw you into a black hole along with half of the Asian plate?
“That I think.”
Sakurajima Mai raised her hand again and said in a cautious tone, “He is still a high school boy after all, right?
Isn’t dating cute girls the most fun thing for high school boys? “
As she spoke, she playfully winked in Lin Mo’s direction, making what she thought was the cutest and most seductive expression.
“Lin Mojun, look, the weather is so nice today, do you want to go out for a walk with me?
I know a new coffee shop that has delicious parfaits. “
Her voice was sweet and beautiful, enough to make any normal male creature’s heart beat faster.
However, Lin Mo just raised his eyelids, looked at her, and then asked in a bland tone.
“Do you know anyone at the carrier? I want to upgrade my cell phone plan. Can you give me a discount?”
The smile on Sakurajima Mai’s face froze.
She felt that her charm had suffered an unprecedented, devastating blow.
The invitation to a date was met with the question “Can you give me a discount?”
This is ten thousand times more hurtful than a direct rejection.
Four plans, the crystallization of the wisdom and charm of four top women, all declared bankrupt in the face of Lin Mo’s absolute “boredom”.
On the system interface, the small icon representing Lin Mo’s mood was still in a gray “boring” state, without even a sign of fluctuation.
Outside the apartment window, the colors of the world really seemed to be starting to dim.
The huge LED billboard on the building in the distance.
The idol with a bright smile above, her smile seems to have become a little stiff and unnatural.
The footsteps of pedestrians on the street also seemed to become heavier and more mechanical.
The concept of “entertainment” is being removed from this world bit by bit.
Is there really no solution?
Just when everyone was in despair.
The doorbell rang again.
The girls have become numb.
They now feel that this doorbell is a dimensional channel connecting to countless troubles.
Kaguya turned on the surveillance camera weakly.
A familiar and respectful face appeared on the screen.
It’s Hayasaka Ai.
She was wearing a perfect maid outfit, pushing a silver food cart that looked very valuable, and standing quietly outside the door.
“Miss, the Royal Supreme Darjeeling you ordered earlier, brewed by the president of the World Black Tea Association, has been delivered.”
This was what Kaguya ordered in a fit of rage during the breakfast war.
She even forgot it herself.
“Let her in.”
Kaguya no longer had any ideas, she felt like she was about to burn out.
She pressed the door open button.
The black door of absoluteness slid open silently.
Hayasaka Ai pushed the food cart and walked into the living room with an eerie atmosphere with precisely calculated steps that made no unnecessary noise.
She noticed something was wrong immediately.
In the living room, the four proud daughters who usually looked high and mighty were now as dejected as eggplants hit by frost.
And that Lord Lin Mo who made the young lady infatuated.
He was slumped on the sofa, giving off a desperate aura of “I’m so bored, I want to be destroyed soon.”
Although Hayasaka Ai didn’t understand what was happening, her intuition as a top agent was frantically alerting her.
She knew that now was not the time to ask more questions.
All she had to do was to complete her job and leave this place of trouble immediately.
So she pushed the food cart and walked up to Lin Mo.
An artistic, perfect, textbook-level English afternoon tea service began.
She first picked up a piece of sugar with silver tweezers, and then dropped it into the cup silently and in a perfect parabola at a height of 7.3 centimeters from the surface of the tea.
There was not a single splash of water.
Then she picked up the delicate silver teaspoon and stirred it seven and a half times clockwise at an absolutely even speed of two and a half times per second.
Not too much, not too little, perfectly blending the sweetness of sugar cubes with the mellow aroma of black tea.
Then, she respectfully handed a cup of black tea with both hands. The temperature was exactly 68.5 degrees Celsius and it had a light bergamot aroma. It was placed in front of Lin Mo.
Each of her movements seemed to have been rehearsed millions of times; it was precise, elegant, yet had a mechanical beauty.
There was not a single unnecessary movement, not a single expression of emotion.
Pure, ultimate craftsmanship that exists to serve this concept.
Everyone in the living room’s eyes were attracted by her series of actions.
Including Lin Mo.
He looked at Hayasaka Ai, at her impeccable movements, like those of a precision instrument.
Looking at the perfect cup of black tea that she handed to me.
For the first time, a hint of hope appeared in his dark pupils, which had always been as calm as dead water.
An interesting glow.
He didn’t take the cup of tea.
He just looked at Hayasaka Ai and suddenly asked.
“May I have your name?”
Hayasaka Ai was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and replied, “Master Lin Mo, my name is Hayasaka Ai.”
“Hayasaka Ai.”
Lin Mo repeated the name.
Then he smiled.
It was a very faint, almost imperceptible smile that came from the heart.
“You’re funny.”
He said.
Just when Lin Mo said the word “interesting”.
The whole world seemed to have pressed the restart button.
Outside the window, the colors that had become dim suddenly regained their vitality.
The footsteps of pedestrians on the street became brisk again.
The idol’s smile on the billboard is once again contagious.
The concept of “entertainment” that had been taken away was, in an instant, poured back into the world doubly and turbulently.
On everyone’s system panel, the blood-red mission failure countdown disappeared instantly.
Instead, there is a bright golden reminder that the mission is accomplished.
[Mainline maintenance mission ‘God’s Pleasure’ has been completed][Completer: Non-Guardian unit ‘Hayasaka Ai’][Task evaluation: Impeccable. Successfully aroused the interest of the First Cause in an unexpected way.][Task reward: 2000 points. Since the person who completes the task is not a guardian, the reward will be deposited into the team’s public account.][Special event trigger: ‘The arrival of the maid’][Non-Guardian unit ‘Hayasaka Ai’, due to its unique ‘perfect tool man’ attribute.
This has attracted the attention of the First Cause, and the Guardian Protocol is now automatically activated. 】
【Welcome, the sixth guardian. 】
[Guardian: Hayasaka Ai]【Title: Almighty Maid】
[Attributes: Housekeeping (EX), Disguise (S+), Intelligence Processing (S), Complaints (A), Combat Power (B-)][System Points: 100]Looking at the translucent panel that suddenly appeared in front of me, which only I could see.
Hayasaka Ai, the Shinomiya family’s top agent, the perfect maid who can keep her cool in any situation.
Her brain froze.
The other five girls in the living room looked at the bewildered maid who saved the world with just one sentence and got the identity of a “guardian” for free.
Then look at Lin Mo who is looking at Hayasaka Ai with interest.
At the same time, an extremely absurd, yet extremely real thought emerged in their minds.
It turns out that it took a long time.
They are the chosen ones of heaven, beings with extraordinary powers.
On the topic of “How to serve a god well”.
Not as good as a professional, all-round maid.
Chapter 21 System Upgrade and Personal Trial (Old Version)
The addition of Hayasaka Ai adds new and more subtle variables to this already complex “Guardian Alliance”.
She doesn’t have the wealth to rival a country like Kaguya, nor does she have the blood of ice and snow like Yukino.
She doesn’t have the power to destroy a country like Esdeath, she doesn’t have a supernatural physique like Mai, and she is not connected to the roots like Ryougi Shiki.
Her greatest weapon is her “professionalism”.
A professional ability that takes the profession of “maid” to the extreme and can be called a BUG.
As it turns out, her expertise is far more effective than anyone else’s extraordinary powers in the core task of “taking care of Lin Mo.”
This realization made Kaguya and G-sister feel very complicated.
On the one hand, it is a good thing that his trusted and beloved generals have become “insiders” who can share the pressure.
On the other hand, this person from the same background seemed to have completely crushed her in terms of core business capabilities, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Especially when she saw that Lin Mo, for the first time ever, actually took the initiative to chat with Hayasaka Ai.
Although the content of the chat was only “Can you repair computers?” and “The smart home system in the apartment seems to be a bit stuck.”
“The sewer seems to be a bit blocked” is a very common topic.
But every time, Hayasaka Ai was able to use her knowledge that was so profound that it didn’t seem like that of a maid to come up with a perfect, professional solution that could be solved immediately.
Lin Mo’s system icon representing his mood actually fluctuated back and forth between “interesting” and “boring”. Although the amplitude was small, at least it moved!
This was a feat that the other five people had failed to accomplish after working hard for a day and a night.
An emotion called “jealousy” quietly grew in the hearts of the four women except Ryougi Shiki.
In this strange atmosphere, everyone’s system panels suddenly flashed with soft white light at the same time.
A new system announcement appeared in front of everyone.
【System Announcement: Version 1.5 Update】
【Update content:】

“Let me go work and earn 1,000 yuan?”
Shinomiya Kaguya felt that her worldview was insulted.
The value of the air she consumes every minute of breathing is more than 1,000 yen. Now, she is asked to work part-time?
“Is it impossible to refute them by cooperating with those two guys?”
Yukinoshita Yukino felt her blood pressure rising.
When she thought of Hikigaya’s dead eyes and Yuigahama’s naive and stupid remarks, she felt her rational defenses shaky.
“Take care of plants? And you can’t even think about fighting?”
Esdeath’s face turned green.
It would be more painful to prevent her from fighting than to kill her.
She watched as the system refreshed a small, seemingly fragile succulent plant in her hand out of thin air.
It felt like what I was holding in my hand was not a plant, but an antimatter bomb that could explode at any time.
Sakurajima Mai and Ryougi Shiki also fell into their own thoughts.
One has to act as a passerby in Shibuya, and the other has to challenge his own abilities to bake a cake.
The difficulty is extraordinary.
The first to take action was Hayasaka Ai.
Her task had the shortest time limit, only one hour.
She took a deep breath and walked up to Kaguya, who was having a headache because of her mission.
“Miss.”
She bowed respectfully.
“What’s up, Hayasaka?”
Kaguya asked distractedly.
Hayasaka Ai showed a just the right amount of embarrassment on her face.
“That’s right, Miss.
When I came in just now, I accidentally picked this up in the corridor at the door.”
As she spoke, she pulled something out from the pocket of her maid outfit.
It was an ordinary-looking pink hairpin.
“I think Miss Yukinoshita or Miss Sakurajima dropped this accidentally. Do you think we should remind them?”
Kaguya glanced at the hairpin and said casually, “I see. You can put it on the table.”
She had no suspicion at all.
Hayasaka Ai respectfully placed the hairpin on the coffee table, then stepped aside and counted silently in her heart.
A minute later, a prompt indicating that the task was completed popped up on her system panel.
[Personal Trial ‘Maid’s Betrayal’ Completed][Evaluation: Perfect. With impeccable acting skills and prop selection, you successfully deceived your master. ]【Rewards have been issued.】
Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief.
But she knew this was just the beginning.
She glanced at the hairpin, which was her own spare one.
She had just told a lie, a lie that was both incredibly true and completely false.
On the other hand, the real challenge has just begun.
Miss Kaguya changed into the most ordinary casual clothes bought from Uniqlo and put on a mask and a hat.
After walking out of the apartment, her goal was to go to the convenience store downstairs. She was going to apply for a cashier position with an hourly wage of 950 yen.
Yukinoshita Yukino picked up her cell phone and dialed the service club’s number, preparing to face the most chaotic club activity of her life.
Esdeath began to mutter to herself in front of the pot of succulents.
“Listen, little one. From now on, you are my soldier.
Your mission is to survive.
If you dare to wither, I will freeze the entire Amazon rainforest into ice to bury you. No, no, no.
Calm down, Esdeath, this is love and peace.”
The most outrageous personal trial in history, centered around the Sleeping God and attended by six goddesses, has officially begun.
But Lin Mo knew nothing about this.
He had just changed the channel and found a rerun of a midday show about “How to Water Succulents.”
He watched with great interest.
Chapter 22: The End of the Trial and the New Storm (Old Version)
Time slowly passed as the six guardians struggled and fought.
The top floor of the apartment became the most bizarre witness of this absurd trial.
Esdeath sat cross-legged on the carpet with the small pot of succulents in front of her.
Her ice-blue eyes, which were enough to scare thousands of troops, were now staring at those thick leaves.
It was as if he was engaging in a battle of willpower with some mortal enemy.
She was mumbling something.
“Photosynthesis requires very good sunlight, and today’s sunshine angle is 37.5 degrees, which is perfect.”
“The soil moisture is 40 percent, which is a bit dry. It needs watering.”
As she spoke, she stretched out a finger, and a drop, just one drop, gathered on the tip of her finger.
A liquid composed of the purest life energy and water elements, emitting a faint glow, was carefully dripped onto the soil.
The energy contained in that drop of liquid is enough to instantly turn a desert into an oasis.
But now, it is just used to replenish water for a pot of succulents.
“Don’t think about fighting, don’t think about conquering”
While she was performing god-level gardening operations, she was fighting a desperate battle with her own instincts in her mind.
Whenever thoughts like “freeze that annoying sun” or “transform this building into my ice throne” come to mind.
She immediately forced herself to think about something else.
For example, does the leaf arrangement of this pot of succulent plants conform to the Fibonacci sequence?
Or, whether its cell structure can withstand the test of absolute zero.
After thinking about it, she realized that these thoughts seemed more dangerous than directly wanting to fight.
On the other side, in the kitchen, Ryougi Shiki was experiencing the biggest challenge of her life.
In front of her were flour, eggs, butter, cream and a book downloaded from the Internet called “100% Successful Baking Tips for Beginners”.
Her magic eyes that could see the death of all things were now looking at the ingredients in pain.
In her vision, the egg was covered with dead lines representing “broken” and “corrupt”.
The piece of butter, from the inside out, looked dead and about to be decomposed.
She didn’t even dare to touch the flour, for she was afraid that if she just took a look at it, the fine particles would be at the conceptual level.
Completely “killed” and turned into a pile of meaningless, inedible white powder.
“Creation is not the end.”
She muttered to herself, trying to hypnotize herself.
She carefully cracked the egg with an ordinary table knife, which she had “killed” all concepts of sharpness in advance.
Then, the egg, along with the eggshell and egg liquid, disappeared silently before her eyes.
It was “killed”.
Ryougi Shiki fell into a long silence.
She felt that making a cake was much more difficult than killing a god.
And in the world outside the apartment, legendary comedies are also unfolding.
Shibuya intersection.
On the busiest, most heavily traveled street in the world.
Mai Sakurajima was wearing the most ordinary T-shirt and jeans.
Wearing a pair of rustic black-framed glasses, he was holding the arm of a boy who was also dressed ordinary but had an extremely excited look in his eyes, pretending to be on a date.
Her mission was not to be recognized by anyone.
This is almost an impossible task for a national idol.
But she did a great job.
Because every passerby who tries to look at her will subconsciously look away the moment they see her.
In their subconscious, there will be a voice telling them:
“She’s just an ordinary girl, nothing special about her.”
This is not a super power.
This is acting.
A top-notch acting skill that takes the role of a passerby to the extreme and is enough to deceive the world.
She even dragged Sakuta to queue up at the most popular internet-famous milk tea shop.
In front of her were two JK girls who were discussing her latest movie enthusiastically.
Standing behind her was a greasy uncle whose cell phone wallpaper was her swimsuit photo.
But from beginning to end, no one looked at her more.
Sakuta was beside her, feeling as if he were witnessing a miracle.
“Mai-san you are amazing.”
He admired it sincerely.
“Shhh.”
Mai Sakurajima put a finger to her lips and winked at him playfully, “Now, my name is Suzuki Hanako, an ordinary librarian.”
Meanwhile, in a 24-hour convenience store.
A new cashier is experiencing the most humiliating and longest hour of her life.
“Welcome!”
Kaguya Shinomiya bowed to every guest who came in with an emotionless, blunt tone.
She was wearing a mask and an ill-fitting convenience store uniform, and felt like every cell in her body was protesting.
She, the daughter of the Shinomiya Group and one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Japanese economy, is actually selling her labor here for a mere 950 yen an hour.
“Please microwave this bento for me.”
A customer placed a pork chop rice on the counter.
Kaguya looked at the greasy microwave and felt her hands shaking.
She took a deep breath, pinched a corner of the lunch box with two fingers, and put it in carefully as if it was some kind of highly toxic biological weapon.
Then she pressed the heat button.
In her long life plan, she imagined that she would negotiate trillions of contracts, decide the economic lifeline of a country, and stand at the top of the world.
But she never imagined that one day she would be here, learning how to use a microwave oven correctly.
“bite.”
The microwave rang.
“alright.”
She handed the bento to the guest with an expressionless face.
“The total is 580 yen.”
The customer handed over a 1,000 yen note.
Kaguya looked at the pile of coins in the cash register and her brain froze instantly.
How do I get change?
Her super brain can instantly calculate exchange rate fluctuations and stock price fluctuations.
I got stuck on the simple question “1000 minus 580”.
Finally, under the strange gazes of the guests, she took out her mobile phone and turned on the calculator.
When she finally earned 1,000 yen and fled from the convenience store, she felt as if she had experienced a battle more difficult than acquiring a multinational group.
After 24 hours.
All trials were completed in various bizarre ways.
Kaguya successfully earned 1,000 yen, although she almost acquired the parent company of the convenience store.
With the “help” of Hikigaya and Yuigahama, Yukino successfully completed a simple commission of “finding a lost cat”.
It turned into a huge melee involving the Student Union, Discipline Committee, and neighborhood disputes, but in the end, the cat was found and the mission was accomplished.
Esdeath’s pot of succulent not only survived, but was even under her care which was comparable to the grace of God.
It evolved into a new intelligent life form that exudes a faint chill, and it now uses its leaves to make gestures to Esdeath.
Mai and Sakuta’s date ended perfectly.
After “killing” ninety-nine eggs and forty-two pieces of butter, Ryougi Shiki finally made a cake that had a twisted appearance and a strange taste, but was indeed “created” and edible.
Hayasaka Ai had already completed her mission.
They all received generous points and exclusive rewards.
The title of Kaguya allows her to be more sensitive to Lin Mo’s material needs.
Yukino’s skill allows her to see through a lie for once.
Esdeath’s skill allows her to water plants with cold air.
They gathered in the living room and shared their respective “fruits of victory”. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious and cordial.
They felt that they were no longer just competitors, but true “comrades-in-arms” who shared common secrets and goals.
As they looked at Lin Mo who was still sleeping on the sofa, they even felt a strange sense of relief in their hearts, as if their son had grown up.
Perhaps this is what is called “daily life”.
Although this daily routine is a little bit…hardcore.
In this brief, hard-earned peace.
Inside the apartment, all system panels, without any warning, simultaneously turned into the deepest, abyss-like black.
Then, a line of wildly jumping words made of blood appeared in the center of the screen.
【Warning! Warning! Warning! 】
[‘Out-of-specification’ threats detected! ][Threat source: Moon]【Threat Identification: UltimateOne】
[Threat Overview: The final life form on the moon has arrived in this solar system. Its existence itself is causing a fundamental and irreversible passive overwriting of the physical and causal laws of this world.][Threat Level: Ω-Terminal][Current status: The sleeping environment of ‘First Cause’ has been polluted, and the comfort level is decreasing exponentially at a rate of 1% per second! ][Countdown starts: 10, 9, 8…]The smiles on the girls’ faces froze instantly.
They rushed to the window and looked out.
I saw that the sky outside the window was no longer the familiar blue color.
Instead, it turned into a sickly, lifeless silver-gray color.
A moon that was inappropriately large, covered in craters, and emitting a cold, deathly light.
It just hangs in the sky like a huge, ruthless eye overlooking the world.
The “reality” of the Earth is being replaced by the “reality” of the Moon.
The countdown on the system panel returned to zero.
A new line of tasks, filled with a breath of despair, slowly emerged.
[Final maintenance task has been released][Mission name: Survival][Mission requirements: Survive before the ‘First Cause’ wakes up and restarts the universe. ]Chapter 23: The Moon’s Invasion and the Guardian’s Despair (Old Version)
Chapter 23 “Survival.”
On the system panel, there was a lonely word made up of blood.
With an unquestionable, icy feeling of finality, it was imprinted on the retinas of the six guardians.
There are no mission requirements and no penalties for failure.
Because when the task is “survival” itself, the penalty for failure is to cease to exist.
Outside the apartment, the world is “dying” at an unimaginable speed.
The azure blue sky has been completely replaced by a dead, lifeless silver-gray color.
The moon was so absurdly large that it looked like a cold glass eye suspended on velvet.
Looking down indifferently at the land that is being eroded by its “reality”.
Gravity begins to become chaotic.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could clearly see several cars floating slowly and uncontrollably on the street.
Then, at a counterintuitive and weird angle, it slammed down to the ground, twisting and deforming silently.
The outlines of the tall buildings began to blur under the silver moonlight, and a crystal-like luster emerged at the edges.
Solid reinforced concrete is being rewritten on a material level into some unknown lunar crystal structure.
Human beings, those who are still walking on the streets, at a loss, their ending is even more miserable.
Their bodies, starting from their fingertips, gradually became transparent, and then turned into crystals that sparkled with strange light, just like the buildings.
There was no screaming, no struggling, not even any expression of pain.
Their lives, along with their concepts, are being ruthlessly and silently “overwritten”.
Tokyo, a bustling city with a population of tens of millions, is turning into a huge, silent crystal forest.
And all this happened silently.
There was no explosion, no roar, only a bone-deep, cosmic silence.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Shinomiya Kaguya’s face was as pale as paper. Her super brain was enough to influence the world economy.
For the first time, I felt the fear called “incomprehensible”.
She frantically consulted the family’s top-secret database, but found all the information about extraterrestrial civilizations and other-dimensional existences.
In front of this strange silver moon, they all look like children’s graffiti.
“Its very existence is changing the rules.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s voice trembled slightly because of shock.
She could feel the familiar physical constants in the air.
They are collapsing and failing one by one, being replaced by a completely new, cold set of laws from an alien planet.
The rationality and logic that she was proud of were crushed in the face of this absolute and unreasonable phenomenon.
“What a joke!”
Esdeath, the tyrant of eternal winter, for the first time revealed a hint of fear in her ice-blue eyes.
This is not the excitement when facing a strong enemy, but the most instinctive tremor of a living being when facing an irresistible, higher-dimensional natural disaster.
But the fear was soon replaced by a crazy fighting spirit that penetrated her bones.
“Even if it’s a god! Even if it’s the end of the world! As long as it dares to threaten my king, I will crush it completely!”
She let out a roar, no longer holding back.
An extremely overbearing cold air, enough to drag the entire planet into an ice age, burst out from her body!
“Secret Technique: Mokobotamo!”
Time seems to be frozen at this moment.
With Esdeath as the center, the entire apartment and even the surrounding space.
They were all trapped in an absolute state of stillness from which even light and thought could not escape.
This is her strongest ability, the ultimate secret of the imperial weapon that is capable of freezing time and space!
She wants to use this trick to buy time for everyone to think of countermeasures!
However, the next second, a scene occurred that caused her lifelong beliefs to collapse.
Her power was enough to freeze time and space the moment it touched the silver-gray world outside the window.
It was like a hot iron falling into the endless deep ocean. It didn’t even cause a ripple. It was “neutralized” silently and without a trace.
No, not neutralization.
It’s “ignore”.
It was as if the ultimate secret that she was so proud of did not exist at all in the face of the higher-level physical laws that came from the moon.
It’s like a character from the two-dimensional world launching an attack on the three-dimensional world.
It’s meaningless.
puff!
Esdeath was hit hard and spurted out blood, her body falling backwards uncontrollably.
Her face was filled with disbelief and shock.
Her strongest attack failed.
“Esdeath!”
Kaguya and Yukino quickly supported her.
And on the system panel, a cold prompt quietly appeared.
[Guardian ‘Esdeath’ attempted to use EX-level abilities to counter Ω-level phenomena, but the ability was judged as failed. ][Reason: The priority of the target law is higher than all power systems in this world (2.0).]Even Esdeath’s strongest ability is ineffective, what else can they do?
“Since physical attacks are ineffective, let’s use technology!”
There was a flash of madness in Kaguya Shinomiya’s eyes, she didn’t believe it!
She snatched Hayasaka Ai’s special communicator.
Directly connected to the Shinomiya family’s most powerful strategic weapon located in geosynchronous orbit.
Space-based kinetic strike platform “Kaguya’s Folding Fan”.
“Lock onto that damn moon! Maximum power output! Blow it down for me!”
She roared out the order.
In the universe tens of thousands of kilometers away, a huge space station like a steel lotus slowly unfolds.
At its core is a huge gun barrel made of a special alloy and is a hundred meters long.
It began to gather terrifying energy that was enough to instantly vaporize a small planet.
A brilliant torrent of energy that embodies the highest technological achievements of mankind.
It tore apart the dark universe and slammed into the strange silver moon at sub-light speed!
However, it’s the same attack as Esdeath.
The beam of light that was powerful enough to destroy civilization shot into the silver-gray “sky”.
It was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples, it just disappeared mysteriously and out of thin air.
As if it had never appeared.
[Guardian ‘Kaguya Shinomiya’ attempted to use A++-level technological weapons to counter the Ω-level phenomenon, but the attack was judged as a failure. ][Reason: The target’s ‘existence’ cannot be interfered with by the energy form of this world.]Kaguya collapsed to the ground, and for the first time, her eyes revealed an emotion called “despair”.
They are like a group of ants trapped in a glass bottle. No matter how they struggle, they cannot shake the world outside the bottle at all.
“System Mall, that’s right! System Mall!”
Mai Sakurajima suddenly thought of something, and she frantically opened the redemption list.
“There must be something that can.”
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Because she saw that a brand new product emitting golden light had been refreshed at the top position of the mall.
[One-time Props: First Cause’s Dream Barrier][Effect: After activation, a barrier that is absolutely impossible to break will be opened.
Completely isolate the residence of the First Cause from the external causal relationship, and make it immune to all reality overwrites below the Ω level, for 24 hours.
[Price: 1 million system points. ]One million.
Mai Sakurajima looked at this astronomical figure and then looked at their team account.
Those points that I had worked so hard to save, less than ten thousand points.
She laughed, and her laugh was uglier than crying.
“We are broke.”
All their hopes and means were declared invalid.
And Ryougi Shiki, from beginning to end, just looked out the window quietly.
Her magic eyes that could see the death of all things saw a “complete” world for the first time.
There is no dead line, no dead spot.
The silver world brought by TYPE-MOON.
In her eyes, it is a perfect, self-consistent “reason” without a single flaw.
It has no concept of “death”.
Because it is “existence” itself.
“Can’t be killed.”
She uttered these three words slowly.
These three words, like three of the heaviest hammers, completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in everyone’s heart.
At this moment, the system panel flashed wildly again.
【Warning! Warning! 】
[It is detected that the sleeping environment of the ‘First Cause’ is seriously disturbed by the ‘existential disharmony’ of the outside world! ][The comfort level has dropped to 75%! And it is still dropping! ][‘Nightmare Protocol’ has been activated! ]A new progress bar appears at the top of the system panel.
[Nightmare meter: 5%…10%…15%…][Warning: When the nightmare meter reaches 100%, the First Cause will enter Nightmare Mode.
He will unconsciously format all the “existence” outside of himself in order to eliminate interference. 】
Formatting.
Restart the universe.
They finally understood the true horror of this Ω-level threat.
It doesn’t kill them outright.
It would wake Lin Mo up.
Then, let Lin Mo kill everyone.
“We can’t let him wake up!”
Kaguya screamed.
“What should we do? What else can we do?”
Yukino’s voice was filled with an unprecedented helplessness.
They were trapped in this tiny apartment, the last and only safe zone in the universe.
But this safe zone is about to become everyone’s graveyard because of its owner’s “morning grumpiness”.
Despair, like the water from the deep sea, surged in from all directions, wrapping them tightly and making it impossible for them to breathe.
Fighting, ineffective.
Technology, ineffective.
Magic, ineffective.
Concept, invalid.
All their abilities and all their pride became a joke at this moment.
It seems that all they can do is wait.
Waiting for the nightmare meter to be full, waiting for the boy to gently turn over in his sleep, and then wipe out the entire universe.
In this dead silence and despair where even hope has died.
Hayasaka Ai, the most “ordinary” guardian who had just joined, suddenly spoke.
Her voice was very soft, but it was like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness.
“My Lords, have we got this wrong?”
Everyone looked at her subconsciously.
Hayasaka Ai pointed to the world outside the window that was being crystallized.
He then pointed at Lin Mo, who was sitting on the sofa with a slightly frowned brow because he was sleeping uncomfortably.
“Is our real enemy really the monster outside the window?”
“Could it be that our real battlefield has never been outside?” The Moon’s Invasion and the Guardian’s Despair
Chapter 24: God’s Dream and the Last Fortress (Old Version)
Hayasaka Ai’s words were like enlightenment, shocking the girls who were in despair.
From the very beginning, they fell into a misconception.
They subconsciously regarded the TYPE-MOON outside the window, which was like a natural disaster, as an “enemy” that needed to be defeated.
But starting from the task “Survival” issued by the system, to a series of warnings afterwards.
At its core, it was never about “defeating” TYPE-MOON.
But it is to “maintain Lin Mo’s sleep.”
What the world outside the window looks like is actually not important at all.
The important thing is not to let external changes interfere with Lin Mo.
The light of rationality rekindled in Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes.
“Our battlefield is not the universe, but this living room!
Our enemy is not Type-Moon, but the ever-increasing “nightmare meter”!”
“As long as we can restore Lin Mojun’s comfort level.
As long as we can stop the nightmare meter from filling up, we win!”
Kaguya Shinomiya also reacted immediately, and with her business genius brain, she quickly redefined the problem.
“This is not a war of annihilation, this is a war of logistical support!
Our mission is not to become a hero, but to become the strongest nanny in the world!”
This new positioning, although it sounds a bit funny, is extremely correct.
Let everyone find their direction again.
The haze of despair was swept away and replaced by.
It is an unprecedented, tense and mission-filled fighting spirit.
“Then, let the battle begin!”
Kaguya immediately took over the command, “Everyone, take action immediately!
Goal: Before the nightmare meter is full, raise Lord Lin Mo’s comfort level to above the safety line!”
A nanny operation arguably the highest level in the history of the universe, centered around “how to make a god sleep better,” has officially begun.
“First, the physical environment!”
Yukino pointed at every corner of the room and analyzed it as quickly as possible.
“The reality overwrite from the outside world is subtly affecting the light, temperature, and gravity in the apartment!
These are the culprits that reduce comfort!”
“Leave it to me!”
Esdeath volunteered.
This time, she didn’t think about fighting.
She closed her eyes and used her power to freeze everything.
It is released slowly in an unprecedented and subtle way.
She did not create ice, but used her own power to “offset” the erosion of laws from the outside world.
Strands of chill that were invisible to the naked eye covered the entire room like the softest veil.
The strange silver moonlight from the outside world that disrupted gravity shone into the room in an instant.
It is filtered and modified by this layer of cold air, and becomes a soft, warm yellow light that is most suitable for sleep.
The temperature of the room was precisely controlled by her at 24.3 degrees Celsius, and the humidity was maintained at 55%.
This is after Hayasaka Ai just hacked into the Global Sleep Science Database.
The golden value that is most suitable for human deep sleep.
【Environmental parameters have stabilized. The rate of decrease in comfort level due to the first cause has slowed down.】
[The nightmare meter is increasing at a slower rate. Currently: 38%]efficient!
Seeing the system prompt, everyone was cheered up.
“Next, it’s the auditory environment!”
Mai Sakurajima took action immediately, she knew this was her area of ​​expertise.
“Although the outside world is dead silent, this absolute silence can make people feel uneasy.
We need white noise, the most relaxing white noise! ​​”
She pulled out her cell phone, but immediately realized that the sound it produced was too “digital” and not natural enough.
She thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
She ran to the kitchen, got a glass of water, and then walked to Lin Mo’s sofa.
She used her god-level acting skills and breath control ability.
Start using the glass of water to imitate various relaxing sounds.
Sometimes there is the sound of raindrops gently hitting the window frame.
Sometimes it is the gurgling sound of a mountain spring flowing over pebbles.
Sometimes there is the sound of waves gently hitting the beach.
Her imitation is not just the similarity of voice, but also the “artistic conception” contained in the voice.
They were all perfectly restored.
This is no longer just ventriloquism, but the art of “acting out voices”.
[The auditory environment has been optimized, and the breathing rate of ‘First Cause’ has stabilized. ][The speed at which the nightmare meter increases has further slowed down. Current: 42%]“Not enough!”
Kaguya looked at the meter that was still slowly rising and gritted her teeth.
“The optimization of the physical environment has reached its limit! The real problem lies in his dream!
It is the ontological inconsistency of the outside world that is polluting his dreams!”
All they can do is scratch the surface.
The real battlefield is in Lin Mo’s dream.
At this moment, as if in response to their thoughts, a new prompt popped up on the system panel again.
[It is detected that the Guardian has a clear combat intention. 】
[Ω-level threat response plan B, unlocked. ][New function enabled: Dream Infiltration Procedure][Description: Guardians can consume system points to project their own consciousness into the dream of the ‘First Cause’.
In the form of a spiritual body, directly eliminate the unstable factors in his dream. 】
[Warning: Dreams are a direct manifestation of the subconscious of the ‘First Cause’, and are full of unknowns and dangers.
Once a spirit ‘dies’ in a dream, its consciousness will be severely damaged and fall into a permanent coma. 】
[Warning: This protocol is a one-way transmission. You cannot actively leave the dream until the unstable factors in the dream are completely eliminated.][Infiltration cost: 1000 system points per person per hour.]Looking at this new feature that seemed like a devil’s contract, everyone was silent.
Entering God’s dream?
This sounds even crazier than facing TYPE-MOON head-on.
But they had no choice.
This is the only way to solve the problem from the root.
“I’ll go!”
Esdeath was the first to step forward, without a trace of hesitation in her eyes.
“The king’s dream will be protected by me!”
“I’m going too.”
Ryougi Shiki spoke slowly, “In the world of concepts, my eyes may come in handy.”
“It can’t be just the two of you.”
Kaguya’s eyes became extremely firm, “Dreams are a world of will, and what is needed is wisdom and strategy.
Rather than simply destruction.
I must go, my resources and wisdom may be manifested in another form in my dream.”
“Then the infiltration team has been selected.”
Yukino made a decision immediately.
“Esdeath is in charge of the frontal combat, while Ryougi Shiki is in charge of the conceptual breakdown.
Kaguya is in charge of overall planning and resource allocation. It’s a perfect combination.”
“What about us?”
Mai Sakurajima pointed at herself, Yukino, and Hayasaka Ai.
“You guys, stay here.”
Kaguya’s tone left no room for doubt, “You are our backup and our last insurance.
We need you in the real world to continue to maintain the stability of the apartment.
And, be prepared to deal with new situations that may arise at any time.
We don’t have many points, and this infiltration is our entire bet.”
They quickly transferred the points in their respective accounts to Kaguya’s account.
In total, it will be enough for three people to dive for two hours.
No goodbyes, no hesitation.
Kaguya, Esdeath, and Ryougi Shiki looked at each other.
They all saw the same thing called “enlightenment”.
They stretched out their hands and simultaneously pressed the button of “Execute Dream Infiltration Rules” on the system panel.
The bodies of the three people, like puppets with their strings cut, fell limply onto the carpet, losing all consciousness.
And their spirits, their souls, are enveloped by an irresistible, warm force.
I was instantly pulled away from the real world and fell into endless, deep darkness.
When they opened their “eyes” again.
What appeared before them was a scene that was enough to drive any creator god crazy.
This is Lin Mo’s dream.
A boundless, pure “nothingness” where even light and darkness do not exist.
In the center of this “nothingness”, countless broken, glimmering fragments of the world are floating.
Some of the fragments contain stars that are burning brightly.
Some of the fragments contain galaxies that are heading towards heat death.
In some fragments, there are prosperous magical cities, and in some fragments, there are primitive and desolate continents.
These were all created unconsciously by Lin Mo during his endless sleep.
The wreckage of billions of worlds destroyed unconsciously.
And in the center of this wreckage.
A huge one that is completely black and covered with silver lines on the surface.
A sphere that beats slowly like a heart is suspended there.
The sphere exuded a cold, ominous aura that was incompatible with the entire dream.
That is the manifestation of the “nightmare” that is polluting the entire dream world due to the reality overwrite of TYPE-MOON.
[Successfully entered the dream of ‘First Cause’. 】
[Main Quest Update: Purify the Source of Nightmares][Mission requirements: Destroy or purify the ‘nightmare core’ ahead before the nightmare meter reaches 100%. ]【Good luck to you. 】
Kaguya, Esdeath, and Ryougi Shiki, the spiritual bodies of three people.
Suspended in this magnificent yet silent dream, looking at the huge, ominous black sphere.
They knew that an unprecedented war, fought in God’s dream, had begun.
Chapter 25 Chaos Dream and the Barrier of Heart (Old Version)
God’s dream is a world without physical laws, composed only of pure concepts and will.
Here, the existence forms of Kaguya, Esdeath and Ryougi Shiki also changed.
They no longer have physical bodies, but exist in the most original spiritual form formed by soul and will.
Their powers also present a completely different appearance from the real world.
“My power.”
Esdeath spread out her “hand”, a pure one.
The ice-blue spear, symbolizing the will to “dominate” and “conquer”, slowly condensed in her hand.
She could feel that here, she could no longer create ice out of thin air.
But she can impose her own “will” on this chaotic dream.
As soon as she thought about it, the nothingness under her feet instantly condensed into a vast expanse.
The frozen land exudes the aura of absolute zero.
She became the “king” of this temporary continent.
“interesting.”
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the changes in Esdeath, with wisdom flashing in her eyes.
Countless golden halos composed of complex formulas and data streams began to emerge around her.
Here, her “financial resources” were transformed into an ability called “materialization”.
She can build and create things based on her own cognition and understanding.
She raised her hand gently, and a magnificent building made of gold and white jade appeared.
The sky courtyard, full of classic and luxurious beauty, rose from the ground behind her.
Although, she could feel that this courtyard was just a gorgeous empty shell.
It lacks real “sense of reality”, but it is sufficient as a temporary stronghold and barrier.
“Capital is the foundation of reality. It is the same in any world.”
She declared her truth in a matter-of-fact tone.
As for Ryougi Shiki, her change is both the smallest and the biggest.
She was still wearing that simple kimono and still holding that ordinary-looking short sword in her hand.
But her Mystic Eyes that could see death saw something here that she had never seen before, something clearer and more fundamental.
What she saw was no longer the “dead line” of things.
Rather, they are the connecting lines of the most basic “concepts” and “logics” that constitute this dream.
She could see how Esdeath’s “Domination” connected with this void to create the frozen continent.
She could also see how Kaguya’s “materialization” called upon the ownerless “information fragments” in her dreams to piece together the sky courtyard.
Here, she is not an “assassin” but a “programmer” with the highest authority.
She can cut off any “code” and erase any “concept”.
“We all seem to have become stronger.”
Esdeath felt the pure power of will within her body and felt somewhat excited.
Ryougi Shiki shook her head, and her voice rang directly in the consciousness of both of them.
“It’s not that we have become stronger. It’s that the rules of this world are more ‘lower-level’.
It is also more ‘free’. Our power can interfere with reality more directly.”
“Okay, let’s not study abilities yet.”
Kaguya interrupted them, her expression extremely serious.
Pointing to the huge, slowly pulsating black core in the distance.
“That thing is getting bigger. The nightmare meter has reached 55%. We must act immediately.”
The three of them no longer hesitated and moved quickly towards the core of the nightmare.
However, they soon discovered that things were not that simple.
Between them and the core of the nightmare, there is an invisible yet extremely solid barrier.
It was a vast desert made of pure gray mist.
The moment they stepped into the desert, they were overwhelmed by a force so powerful that they could not resist it.
The emotion called “indifference” instantly enveloped their will.
“Why should we move forward?”
“So what if I purify the nightmare?”
“Whether this world is destroyed or exists, what does it have to do with me?”
“What’s the point of working hard?”
“Everything is meaningless.”
This terrible negative emotion that can deprive you of all desire to act.
Like the most violent mental poison, it madly corrodes their souls.
The light of the spear in Esdeath’s hand dimmed a little.
Her strong fighting spirit was being quickly worn away.
The sky courtyard behind Kaguya also began to become illusory, as if it would collapse at any time.
Her strong desire to control everything was becoming weaker and weaker.
“This is the ‘Barrier of Heart’.”
Kaguya gritted her teeth and struggled to resist the erosion.
“It’s the first line of defense in Lin Mojun’s subconscious mind—the embodiment of ‘indifference’.
Because he has existed for too long and witnessed too many births and deaths, he has no interest in anything.
This barrier will assimilate all those who enter this place with a purposeful will.”
Their actions, their “purpose”, are the greatest sin here.
“How the hell am I going to get through?”
Esdeath felt her will sinking, and she didn’t even have the strength to lift her spear.
At this moment, Ryougi Shiki moved.
Her spiritual body was the least affected among the three.
Because, she herself, to some extent, is also very close to this state of “nothingness”.
She walked to the gray desert and raised the dagger in her hand.
“Everything has its own ‘reason’.”
“‘Meaninglessness’ is also a kind of ‘meaning’ in itself.”
“And as long as there is ‘meaning’, there will be ‘end’.”
Her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were in that chaotic, endless gray mist.
An extremely faint, almost non-existent “line” was captured.
That’s not a dead line.
That is the core “logical singularity” of the concept of this “indifference” barrier.
She swung the knife down.
No sound, no light.
She just gently cut the line.
The entire gray desert is a barrier of “indifference” that is enough to make even gods fall into it.
Like a punctured balloon, it silently collapsed, dissipated, and turned into the purest nothingness.
The road ahead suddenly becomes clear.
Esdeath and Kaguya instantly broke free from that terrible emotion.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with fear.
They looked at Ryougi Shiki as if she were a monster.
This woman is simply the ultimate nemesis of all conceptual and regulatory barriers.
Just as they were about to move on.
In the real world, inside the apartment, a new situation occurred.
“Alarm! Alarm!”
Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been in charge of monitoring, suddenly let out a low cry.
“The apartment’s electrical system is failing! TYPE-MOON’s reality overwrite.
It has begun to erode this building from the most basic energy level!”
Sakurajima Mai and Hayasaka Ai hurried over.
The lights in the apartment began to flicker at an irregular frequency.
It flickered wildly, as if it would go out at any moment.
The air conditioner on the wall also stopped working.
“Oops!”
Hayasaka Ai glanced at the system panel and said, “The temperature and humidity in the room are deviating from the safe value!
If this continues, Master Lin Mo’s comfort level will soon begin to decline again!”
“We must find a way to restore power!”
Yukino’s expression was extremely serious.
“But how do we recover?”
Mai Sakurajima was a little troubled, “We are not electricians.
Besides, it’s definitely too late to go out and look for property now.”
“Leave it to me.”
Hayasaka Ai, the all-round maid, stepped forward again.
She pulled out something from under her maid skirt that stunned both Yukino and Mai.
It was a complete, sophisticated, and extremely professional-looking electrician’s tool box.
“In the Shinomiya family’s maid training course, the advanced electrician qualification certificate is just the basics of the basics.”
Hayasaka Ai explained in a matter-of-fact tone.
Then she walked to the main switch box in the corner and opened the lid skillfully.
Looking at the densely packed lines inside that had become somewhat twisted due to the erosion of the laws.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
“The situation is more complicated than expected. The normal physical connection is no longer useful.
We need a more ‘conceptual’ way to trick the power system.”
She pondered for a moment, then gave instructions to Yukino and Mai.
“Ms. Yukinoshita, I need your strength. Use your cold energy.
Temporarily “freeze” the concept of “resistance” of that main line, and let its value approach zero.”
“Ms. Sakurajima, I need your help. Use your ‘acting skills’ to ‘act’ as a steady current, and then…
Inject your will into this switch.”
Yukino and Mai were both stunned.
Freeze the resistor with cold air? Act as the current with acting skills?
What kind of outrageous operation is this?
But now, they can only choose to trust this omnipotent maid.
An equally abstract one.
The “circuit repair” work, carried out by the ice and snow witch, national actors and the all-round maid, has begun.
Chapter 26: Fragments of Memory and the Desire of Birth (Old Version)
Deep in the dream, when Ryougi Shiki shattered the barrier of “indifference” with a single sword, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
But before Kaguya and Esdeath could breathe a sigh of relief, a second, even more bizarre barrier appeared.
Already appeared in front of them.
It was a boundless maze made up of countless crystal clear mirrors.
Each mirror was towering and smooth, reflecting their figures.
And this chaotic dream is reflected vividly.
Esdeath tightened her grip on the spear in her hand cautiously.
From these mirrors, she felt a deeper and heavier breath than the previous “indifference”.
“careful.”
Kaguya’s expression also became solemn, “If the first barrier is ‘indifference’.
Then this one is probably something deeper in his heart – ‘loneliness’.”
As soon as the words fell, the mirrors around them suddenly flashed.
The scene in the mirror was no longer their own reflection.
Instead, they were met with scenes that pierced their souls.
Kaguya saw, in one of the mirrors, her younger self, wearing a gorgeous princess dress, alone.
Sitting in a magnificent castle that is so empty that it looks like a huge tomb.
In front of her was the most delicious cake in the world.
But she had no relatives or friends around her.
There is only endless, cold, suffocating loneliness.
This is the childhood shadow in her deepest heart that she does not want to be touched.
Esdeath saw herself in another mirror.
She stood on an endless plain made of corpses and ice.
She is the only winner and the supreme queen.
But beneath her throne, there is nothing but death and silence.
She won the whole world, but also lost the whole world.
It is a kind of absolute loneliness standing at the top.
“Damn it, this is attacking our hearts!”
Esdeath roared and raised her spear.
She stabbed fiercely at the mirror that reflected her inner loneliness.
However, the moment the spear touched the mirror, it mysteriously passed through it without causing any damage.
However, the piercing sense of loneliness that came from the image in the mirror surged into her will even more violently.
“it’s useless.”
Kaguya’s face turned pale, “This is not an illusion, this is a ‘resonance’ at the level of causality.
It is using Lin Mojun’s cosmic-level loneliness that has transcended billions of years.
To trigger the most insignificant loneliness deep in our hearts.
Our loneliness, in front of his loneliness which is as vast as the universe.
As small as dust, we have no way to resist. “
They were trapped.
Trapped in this mirror maze made of “loneliness” that cannot be physically destroyed.
Every attempt to resist only makes them sink deeper into their own negative emotions.
“How can I get out?”
Kaguya’s brain was working rapidly, but all the plans.
In the face of the unsolvable proposition of “loneliness”, everything seems pale and powerless.
Just when they were about to be swallowed up by this endless feeling of loneliness.
Ryougi Shiki, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.
“look.”
She pointed deeper into the maze.
The two looked in the direction she pointed.
Occasionally, in the intricate mirror reflections of the maze, some strange images that did not belong to them would flash by.
They were glowing fragments of memory floating in the void.
Inside one of the fragments was a newly born, hot universe.
Countless nebulae gather, rotate and burn in it.
In another fragment, there is a blue planet full of vitality, where dinosaurs are walking.
In another fragment, there is a highly developed mechanical civilization with curvature navigation technology.
Their fleet is exploring unknown star regions.
Birth, growth, prosperity, war, destruction, heat death
A complete epic from beginning to end, spanning countless worlds.
Just like a kaleidoscope, it plays quietly in a loop among those fragments.
And in the corner of every fragment, there is an identical, silent, blurry figure of a bystander.
It’s Lin Mo.
In other words, it was the unknown “existence” before becoming “Lin Mo”.
He was just there, watching quietly.
Watch the birth of the universe, the rise and fall of civilization, and the end of everything.
From beginning to end, he was just one person.
There are no peers, no partners, and no one to communicate with.
Time has no meaning to him.
To him, space is just a background that can be switched at will.
He had everything, but because of it, he lost everything.
It is the most fundamental and absolute loneliness that transcends any living being’s understanding.
When Kaguya and Esdeath saw these “memories” that did not belong to the human category.
They finally understood.
Lin Mo’s “indifference” and “loneliness” are not due to his personality.
It is an eternal attribute imprinted in the deepest part of his being.
He is not one to become apathetic.
He is a “being” trying to be less apathetic.
“So that’s how it is.”
For the first time, there was no possessiveness in Kaguya’s eyes.
There is no calculation anymore, only a deep compassion and care from the heart.
She wanted to brand Lin Mo with the mark of the Sigong family.
At this moment, it seems so childish and ridiculous.
She thought she was pursuing a rare treasure.
In the end, I realized that the treasure was just a thing in endless loneliness.
The poor child longed for someone to say something to him.
Esdeath also fell silent.
Her tyrannical heart longed for battle and conquest.
When I saw the loneliness that spanned billions of years, I was moved like never before.
She has always wanted to find a “king” to whom she would submit.
But now she realized that what she really wanted might not be a strong man who could dominate her.
But it is an equally lonely soul that she can warm and protect.
Some kind of qualitative change has taken place in their hearts.
That small sense of loneliness that belongs to them and is caused by the mirror.
In the face of this greater, cosmic loneliness, it was completely and gently dissolved.
They no longer resisted or struggled.
Instead, choose to “empathize”.
They stretched out their hands and gently touched the cold mirrors.
Pass on the most genuine and warmest emotions in your heart without reservation.
“You are not alone.”
“We are here.”
“We’ll be with you.”
Not with words, but with the purest will from the soul.
The entire mirror maze made up of “loneliness”, with countless indestructible mirrors.
Just like ice and snow melted by the spring breeze, it quietly shattered and turned into warm spots of light all over the sky, dissipating in this chaotic dream.
The last barrier leading to the core of the nightmare was broken.
And the real world at this time.
Inside the apartment, the miraculous “circuit repair” was also coming to an end.
“Ms. Yukinoshita! Now is the time! Freeze the concept of ‘resistance’ for three seconds!”
Hayasaka Ai gave the order loudly in the unquestionable tone of a professional technician.
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately understood and she stretched out her slender jade fingers.
The point is on the main line that has been slightly distorted due to the erosion of the laws.
A pure cold air, compressed to the extreme by her, instantly rushed in.
At this moment, the “resistance” property of that line was forcibly “defined” as zero.
“Ms. Sakurajima! Inject your ‘will’!”
Hayasaka Ai ordered again.
Mai Sakurajima took a deep breath, and her charming eyes became extremely focused in an instant.
She is no longer that cynical actress.
She is “electricity”.
A steady, vigorous and unstoppable “electricity”!
Her will followed the special screwdriver in Hayasaka Ai’s hand.
Accurately injected into the core of the switch that was about to collapse due to overload.
“Now!”
Hayasaka Ai yelled and slammed the main switch on the circuit breaker.
Buzz!
The lights in the entire apartment flickered for a moment, then returned to brightness and stability.
The air conditioner also started working again, blowing out warm air at just the right temperature.
【The physical environment has returned to stability. 】
[The comfort level of the ‘first cause’ has stopped decreasing and is beginning to slowly recover. ][The nightmare meter has stopped rising. Current: 68%]Success!
Yukino, Mai, and Hayasaka Ai collapsed to the ground exhausted, their foreheads covered in sweat.
They couldn’t help laughing when they saw each other’s embarrassed looks.
This is a perfect, cross-border collaboration victory.
They defended this last bastion.
It also bought the most precious time for the comrades in the dream to fight back.
Chapter 27: Facing the Nightmare, Universe Upgrade 2.0? (Old Version)
After breaking through the two mental barriers of “indifference” and “loneliness”.
Kaguya, Esdeath and Ryougi Shiki finally arrived at the core of this chaotic dream.
In front of them was the huge, ominous black sphere that beat like a heart – the nightmare core.
The icy aura it exuded was a thousand times stronger than before.
That is due to the heterogeneous law of TYPE-MOON.
It is the embodiment of a pure “nightmare” combined with the negative emotions in Lin Mo’s subconscious mind.
“Finally we are here.”
Kaguya’s spirit body was breathing slightly.
Breaking through two conceptual barriers in a row took a huge toll on her willpower.
“This thing feels bad.”
Esdeath’s eyes were filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
She could sense from that black sphere a pure, emotionless malice with the purpose of “correcting mistakes”.
Just as they were about to discuss countermeasures.
The huge black sphere was pulsating, and suddenly stopped.
Then, huge cracks appeared on the surface of the sphere, like a broken eggshell.
Endless, silver light gushed out from the gap.
A figure, bathed in the cold, moonlit light.
Slowly, he walked out from the broken core.
The moment they saw the figure clearly, Kaguya, Esdeath, and Ryougi Shiki’s pupils widened.
At the same time, contract violently.
That’s one.
A boy who looks exactly like Lin Mo.
No, even more “perfect” than Lin Mo.
He had the same black hair, black eyes, and the same face.
But there was no human emotion on his face.
There is no indifference, no loneliness, and even no expression.
There is only one absolute “reason” that is as empty as the universe.
His eyes were pure, geometrically cold.
He is like a most sophisticated instrument, based on the golden ratio and universal truth.
The perfect template of “God” that was calculated and shaped.
【Warning: Nightmare Core has hatched. 】
[The ultimate disaster, the ‘Mirror Body’, has arrived. ][Mirror image: Modified by TYPE-MOON’s will.]It is a dream disaster that is combined with the original data of the “First Cause” with the ultimate goal of “erasing abnormality (humanity)”. 】
“Is this what nightmares really look like?”
Kaguya felt her soul tremble.
The oppressive feeling this “mirror image” brought to her was even stronger than that of Lin Mo himself.
Because he represents the most original and purest side of Lin Mo.
The cold “law of the universe” itself before it had the “abnormality” of “human nature”.
“Prepare for battle!”
Esdeath roared and took the lead in attacking.
She concentrated her will to “dominate” to the limit.
It transformed into a huge ice spear that was a hundred meters long and strong enough to pierce through the sky, and stabbed fiercely at the mirror image.
However, the mirror image did not even move.
He just looked at the ice spear quietly.
Under his gaze, Esdeath’s attack condensed all her will.
Ten meters away from him, it started silently from the tip of the gun.
Inch by inch, it decomposed and dissipated, turning back into the most primitive, meaningless dream energy.
“What!”
Esdeath was horrified.
Kaguya’s expression was extremely ugly, “His ‘existence’ is the ‘underlying code’ of this dream! Our attack is in front of him.
It’s like a character in a game, attacking the programmer himself! All the attack instructions.
He will judge them as ‘invalid’ from the root!”
“So.”
A trace of determination flashed in Esdeath’s eyes. “If the attack is ineffective, then use my will to pollute him! To dominate him!”
She gave up on long-range attacks, and her entire spiritual body turned into a stream of blue light, launching a desperate charge towards the mirror image.
She wants to use her own soul to engage in the most direct confrontation of will with this god template!
But, she failed.
The moment she approached the three-meter range around the mirror body.
Her spirit body was like a block of ice thrown into an incinerator.
It made a “sizzling” sound and began to melt and evaporate rapidly.
Her will was so powerful that it could command an army of millions.
In the face of the other party’s pure “reason”, it is so fragile that it can withstand a single blow.
“Come back soon!”
Kaguya screamed, and she immediately materialized countless golden chains, trying to pull Esdeath back by force.
But those chains were also broken down into meaningless data streams the moment they approached the mirror body.
It seemed that Esdeath’s spirit was about to be completely wiped out.
A figure, like a ghost, instantly appeared behind Esdeath.
He grabbed her and dragged her away from the realm of death.
“Are you crazy?”
Ryougi Shiki said coldly as she looked at Esdeath, whose spirit body had become extremely dim and was almost dissipating.
“I already said that he can’t be ‘attacked’.”
“Then…what should we do?”
For the first time, Esdeath’s voice sounded weak and helpless.
Ryougi Shiki didn’t answer her.
She simply raised her head and used her magical eyes, which glowed with rainbow light and could see the death of all things.
Staring intently at that perfect, flawless mirror image.
In her vision, there was indeed no dead line on the mirror image.
He is a perfect, self-consistent “principle”.
but.
There is a connection between him and this dream constructed by Lin Mo’s “humanity”.
He needs to draw energy from this dream to maintain his “existence”.
And those connections, those invisible “pipelines” extending from him and taking root in this chaotic void.
In Ryougi Shiki’s eyes, there were clear “lines” that could be cut off.
She found it.
Found the only way to kill this “God”.
“Kaguya, Esdeath.”
She spoke, and for the first time, her voice was filled with unquestionable, commanding authority.
“I need time. I need you to buy me three seconds at all costs.
Three seconds is enough.”
Kaguya and Esdeath looked at each other and instantly understood her intention.
They didn’t hesitate at all.
“Leave it to us!”
The next second, the two gifted ladies burned their entire will.
“Money talks! I say it does, and it does!”
Kaguya let out a cry, and she no longer tried to materialize those flashy empty shells.
Instead, he used his EX-level “resource control” ability to the fullest.
She forcibly requisitioned all the ownerless, floating “fragments of the world” in this dream!
She used the burning star as a cannonball!
The broken continent was used as a shield by her!
She assembled the wreckage of civilization after civilization into a huge fleet composed of vengeful spirits and dead souls that covered the sky and the sun!
“In the name of the Four Palaces, charge!”
She was like a true god-king, commanding this army made up of the remnants of the world.
He launched a devastating attack on the mirror image.
“Dominate! Submit! Or, die!”
Esdeath also exploded. She compressed all her remaining willpower and no longer pursued form.
Instead, it turned into a pure storm of will at absolute zero, symbolizing “eternal winter” and “the end”.
From another direction, sweeping towards the mirror image.
Faced with this devastating and crazy attack.
Finally, for the first time, an extremely subtle expression similar to “processing” appeared on the mirror image’s face.
He raised his hand, ready to format these “BUGs” that dared to resist him, along with this dream.
The time is now!
In that fleeting opportunity that Kaguya and Esdeath created for her with their lives.
Ryougi Shiki moved.
Her figure disappeared.
She turned into a “line” itself that could not be captured or understood.
The dagger in her hand no longer launched a physical attack.
Rather, it is the final judgment on “reason”.
One knife.
The connection between the mirror body and the remains of the “nightmare core” was severed.
Another knife.
Cut off the connection between the mirror body and this “chaotic dream”.
The last cut.
She thrust the knife into the mirror image’s flawless, empty chest.
It severed the connection between him and the most fundamental “cause and effect” of “Lin Mo”.
“You should not exist.”
She declared softly.
The mirror image, that perfect, godlike face, began to show cracks.
There seemed to be a hint of confusion in his empty eyes.
Then, his entire body, like a weathered sand sculpture, fell silently.
It collapsed and disintegrated, turning into silver spots of light all over the sky and dissipated.
The dream returned to peace.
Kaguya and Esdeath, because their willpower was exhausted, their spirits became transparent and they slowly fell into the void.
Just as their consciousness was about to fade away, a warm, familiar force came over them.
He wrapped them, as well as Ryougi Shiki, gently, and then returned them to their bodies.
Real world.
Inside the apartment, three girls opened their eyes at the same time.
On the system panel, the nightmare meter has returned to zero.
[The final maintenance mission ‘Survival’ has been completed. ]【Evaluation: Miracle.】
[Reward: Unable to calculate. ‘Guardian Protocol’ has evolved autonomously. ]They haven’t had time to digest this information.
On the sofa, Lin Mo slowly sat up.
He woke up.
He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then, out of habit, looked out the window.
He saw the dead, sickly silver-gray sky.
Saw the absurdly large, cold moon.
He frowned.
“So ugly.”
He commented in a heartfelt, disdainful tone.
Then he raised his hand and casually snapped his fingers toward the window.
Pop.
The whole world seemed like a shattered mirror.
The silver-gray sky shattered into pieces, revealing the familiar, warm blue behind it.
That huge moon that represents the TYPE-MOON itself.
There was a silent wail from a higher dimension, and then, like a popped soap bubble.
It shattered with a loud bang and turned into billions of silver light dusts, which dissipated into the universe.
It was not destroyed.
It was just “formatted” by this world, or more precisely, by Lin Mo’s “aesthetics”.
Its existence was judged to be “unsightly”, and so it was deleted from the “display list” of this universe.
[Warning: Ω-level threat ‘TYPE-MOON’ has been forcibly expelled and reconstructed by the aesthetic laws of ‘First Cause’. ][The world rules have been optimized again based on the aesthetic preferences of the ‘first cause’. ][Congratulations, your universe has been upgraded to Version 2.0 (beautified version). ]Looking at the extremely outrageous prompt on the system panel.
Look at the one who formatted an ultimate life form just because he thought it was “ugly”.
The boy was about to go to the refrigerator to find milk.
Kaguya, Yukino, Esdeath, Mai, Hayasaka Ai, Ryougi Shiki.
The six guardians collapsed to the ground, exhausted both physically and mentally.
They looked at each other, and on their faces there appeared a smile that was uglier than crying, as if they had survived a disaster.
They survived.
They knew that their “nanny” career had just entered difficult mode.
Chapter 28: Aftermath and System Evolution (Old Version)
When the silver-gray color of TYPE-MOON, which represented the end, was wiped off the color palette of the universe by Lin Mo’s understated words “so ugly”, the world.
The long-awaited, true dawn has arrived.
The sky was an unprecedented, refreshing blue, as if it had been rewashed with the purest paint by the most talented painter.
The clouds also became exceptionally fluffy and soft, like marshmallows scattered across the sky after the gods had taken a nap.
The air is filled with a fresh smell, like the sun after rain.
This is the most intuitive change brought about after the universe was upgraded to Version 2.0 (beautified version).
The whole world has become more “pleasing to the eye” under Lin Mo’s unconscious aesthetic preference.
However, against this peaceful and beautiful backdrop, the living room on the top floor of the apartment presents a completely different scene.
Six guardians who are extremely beautiful and powerful enough to subvert the world in their respective worlds.
At this moment, he was lying on the carpet in a completely ungraceful posture.
Their bodies and spirits have been drained to the limit.
The war against the Ω-level disaster ended in an absurd way, but every second of the process was meaningful.
They are all dancing on the edge of a knife, and are the ultimate test of their will.
“it’s over.”
Shinomiya Kaguya was lying on her back, her usually sharp red eyes now only had a hollow look of someone who had survived a disaster.
She felt like she never wanted to see the moon again in her life.
“Survived.”
Yukinoshita Yukino leaned against the sofa, breathing weakly. Her brain was used to logical thinking.
After experiencing the rewriting of laws, dream infiltration and cosmic upgrades, I have completely given up on understanding the current situation and entered energy-saving mode.
“Hahaha.”
Mai Sakurajima was grinning foolishly. She felt that this was more exciting than any movie she had ever filmed. All she wanted now was to have a good sleep.
Then forget about the experience or write it into a script.
Although Esdeath and Ryougi Shiki were not in such a mess, they were also exhausted. One of them burned his will in a dream.
One of them cut off the cause and effect in reality. They both need time to recover.
Hayasaka Ai, the most “ordinary” maid.
At this moment, he was diligently serving a cup of warm water of just the right temperature to each young lady who was almost fainting.
And the source of all these disasters, the man who casually “beautified” the universe, was now standing in the kitchen with his back to them.
He opened the refrigerator, took out a box of chocolate milk, tore it open, inserted a straw, and drank it slowly.
The sunlight shone through the window onto him, lengthening his silhouette.
The scene is quiet, peaceful and full of a sense of everyday life.
However, it formed an extremely absurd and ironic contrast with the six guardians behind him who seemed to have just crawled back from the battlefield of the end of the world.
In this eerie silence.
Suddenly, everyone’s system panel lit up with a soft emerald green light that represented “rebirth”.
【System Announcement: Protocol Evolution】
[It was detected that the Guardian team successfully dealt with the Ω-level threat and assisted the First Cause in completing the universe upgrade. ][‘Guardian Protocol’ has absorbed the huge data flow of this incident and started to evolve autonomously. ]【Evolution completed.】
【Welcome to use the ‘First Cause’ living management system Version 2.0】
Then, a series of update logs unfolded before their eyes like a waterfall.
[New function unlocked: Team bond][Description: In view of the outstanding spirit of cooperation shown by the guardians in desperate situations, the team bond system is now enabled.
When multiple guardians perform tasks together, they will receive a certain degree of all-attribute bonuses based on their mutual “understanding”. 】
[Current team tacit understanding: 35% (friendship of life and death).
Effect: When performing tasks together, the efficiency of obtaining points increases by 5%. 】
[New function unlocked: Personal area][Description: In order to improve the quality of life and privacy of each guardian, the personal domain function is now open.
Each guardian can open a completely private pocket space bound to his or her soul in this apartment for free. 】
[Note: The initial pocket space is a blank room of 10 square meters, which can be expanded and renovated by consuming system points. The relevant furniture drawings have been put on the market.][New function unlocked: Threat level recalibration][The system has made a more precise classification of threat levels based on this Ω-level event.][The levels are divided into: daily level (such as: cockroaches appear in the room).
Trouble level (e.g., burst water pipe).
Disaster level (e.g. meteorite impact).
Planetary level (e.g. Earth’s axis offset).
Stellar level (such as supernova explosion).
Galaxy level (such as: black hole swallowing).
Cosmic level (e.g., heat death).
Ω level (such as: ???).
And the Linmo level (this level itself is the source and end of all disasters). 】
Looking at this series of dazzling updates, the girls were a little confused.
Has the system been upgraded?
They were also given “staff dormitories”?
In this threat level classification, what the hell is that “Lin Mo level” at the end?
They feel that their job as “nannies” seems to be becoming more and more “formalized”.
However, they haven’t had time to study these new features carefully.
The real “system” itself, Lin Mo, who had finished drinking the chocolate milk, suddenly spoke.
He walked out of the kitchen, looked around the living room which seemed a little messy because of their “fight”, and then looked at the six women who refused to leave his house.
For the first time, a clear and undisguised look of “disgust” flashed across his usually expressionless face.
“It’s too messy here.”
“Besides, there are too many people and it’s noisy.”
As he spoke, he made a decision that froze the souls of all the guardians.
He turned, walked to the entrance, and started putting on his shoes.
“I’d better move back to my old small apartment. It’s quiet there.”
boom!
This sentence is no less than the advent of TYPE-MOON.
Even more terrifying than that!
Are you kidding?
Move away?
They worked desperately, fighting, repairing, diving into dreams, and saving the world, and finally stabilized the “server” of this universe.
Now, the CPU of this server actually said that it wanted to run away?
This apartment is the “reality anchor” that they have protected with their lives and dignity! It is the stabilizer of the entire universe Version 2.0!
Once Lin Mo leaves here, this fragile new world that has just been “beautified” will instantly become unstable due to the loss of its core suppression!
By then, who knows what level of more bizarre and terrifying threats will be attracted!
Almost at the moment when Lin Mo finished speaking.
Everyone’s system panel sounded an unprecedented, black hole-like, highest alert that meant “absolutely cannot happen”!
[Ω-level main mission released][Task name: Maintaining the home][Mission objective: At all costs, prevent the ‘First Cause’ from leaving its current residence. ][Mission Background: This residence has been deeply bound to the existence of the ‘First Cause’ in previous events, and has become the ‘foundation of reality’ that maintains the stability of the universe Version 2.0.
The departure of the ‘First Cause’ will cause the foundation to shake, triggering an unpredictable, chain-like causal collapse. 】
[Mission deadline: before the First Cause walks out of the Absolute Door.][Task Reward: ???][Failure penalty: The stability of the universe Version 2.0 drops by 99%, and the world will re-enter the disordered ‘chaos screening’ stage. ]No time to think!
Lin Mo had already put on his shoes, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand already grasping the door handle of the black door.
“Wait a moment!”
The six girls almost rolled and crawled up from the ground, rushed to the entrance at their fastest speed, formed a “human wall”, and blocked the door.
“Lin Mojun! You can’t leave!”
Kaguya’s voice trembled slightly due to her eagerness.
“What’s the problem? We can solve it! Do you think the room is messy? Hayasaka! One minute! I’m going to make this place cleaner than a sterile laboratory!”
“Yes, Miss!”
Hayasaka Ai instantly entered combat mode.
“Do you think we’re noisy?”
For the first time, an almost pleading expression appeared on Yukino’s face.
“We promise that from now on, we will never say a single word except when necessary! We can use sign language! Or eye contact!”
“That’s right!”
Esdeath was also anxious. She didn’t even know how to persuade him and could only nod vigorously.
“Stay! I can give you my pot of succulent! It can make a heart shape with its hands now!”
Sakurajima Mai was even more direct. She took a step forward and wanted to use her beauty to hug Lin Mo’s arm.
“Lin Mojun, don’t be so heartless. Wouldn’t it be lively if we all lived together? We could have parties every day.”
The two rituals are still concise and to the point.
She just stood silently in front of the door, looking at Lin Mo quietly with her eyes that could kill everything.
The meaning is obvious.
If you want to get through here, you have to step over my “corpse” first.
Lin Mo felt puzzled as he looked at the six women in front of him who suddenly became extremely excited and as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
He just wanted to move, why did it become like he was going to defect from Earth?
“Get out of the way.”
His tone was still calm, but it contained a hint of command that could not be questioned.
He doesn’t like trouble.
And the six women in front of him are the biggest trouble.
Now he just wanted to go back to his small, quiet apartment of only 40 square meters, where he could play games and sleep in peace.
However, this time, none of the six girls backed down.
In their eyes, there is a burning determination to “never let you go”.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
The most bizarre confrontation in history, centered on the “right of God to move,” has begun.
Lin Mo looked at them, and they looked at Lin Mo too.
Lin Mo’s patience, which is comparable to the laws of the universe, is being worn away bit by bit.
Extremely subtle, unstable ripples began to appear in the space behind him.
That was the aura he unconsciously emitted because he felt “impatient”, which was enough to distort the law of causality.
On the system panel, the value representing the world’s stability began to jump wildly.
It’s getting out of control.
Lin Mo suddenly stopped trying to push them away.
He looked at the six faces in front of him, each with a different style, but equally beautiful, and all with the words “please stay” written all over them.
Suddenly, his calm heart was stirred up by a very faint ripple that he himself had not even noticed.
This feeling.
Very strange.
In the incalculably long and lonely time in the past, there had never been any “existence” that would look at him with such eyes.
There has never been any “existence” that “needs” him so much.
“trouble.”
He whispered.
Then, under the suffocatingly tense gaze of the six guardians.
He loosened his grip on the door handle.
He turned around and casually threw the small backpack containing the game console and spare clothes on the floor in the entrance hall.
“never mind.”
He said lightly in a tone that contained a hint of helplessness and compromise.
“But, let’s make it clear in advance.
From today on, you will take turns cleaning this apartment.
Whoever made the mess is responsible.”
[Ω-level main-line mission ‘Maintaining the Home’ has been completed. 】
[Evaluation: Epic, you have successfully given the meaning of “home” to an existence that has no concept of “home”. ][Task rewards have been distributed to the team’s public account. ][Team bond ‘Maintaining the Family’ has been unlocked. ]The six guardians heard Lin Mo’s words and saw the system prompt.
Their nerves, which had been stretched to the limit, finally relaxed completely.
A huge feeling of ecstasy, as if they had survived a disaster, surged into their hearts.
They successfully persuaded “Universe” who was about to run away from home to come back.
However, they didn’t have time to be happy.
Lin Mo spoke again.
He pointed to the calendar on the wall, on which today’s date was circled in red.
“Come to think of it, today is Monday.”
“It’s time to go to school.”
“You all have to go, right?”
He asked in a casual tone, as if asking “What’s for dinner today?”
The smiles on the faces of the six girls froze in an instant.
That’s right.
They, it seems, are still “students”.
Chapter 29: Maintaining the Family and the Strongest Housekeeping Battle (Old Version)
go to school.
This word, which is very normal for ordinary people, at this moment, is like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of the six guardians hard.
They had just survived an Ω-level disaster that was powerful enough to restart the universe.
Exhausted physically and mentally, exhausted.
Now, the source of the disaster actually invited them to return to the “Novice Village” in a relaxed tone of “Let’s go to school”.
What kind of mental torture is this?
It’s like a maximum-level hero who has just defeated the final BOSS of the world-destroying war is forced by the system to go back and complete the novice task of “helping Aunt Wang at the entrance of the village find a chicken.”
And, you can’t refuse.
Because, a new task with an ominous atmosphere has quietly emerged on the system panel.
【Daily maintenance tasks: continuation of campus life】
【Mission Description: ‘First Cause’ has decided to return to its ‘student’ identity in the current world.
As guardians, you have the obligation to maintain the ‘normality’ and ‘rationality’ of their campus life. 】
【Task requirements: In the following campus life, ensure that the “campus satisfaction” of “First Factor” is not less than 60 points (passing line).
Any event that causes a decrease in satisfaction (such as being reprimanded by the teacher, isolated by classmates, getting into trouble, etc.) will result in a deduction of corresponding system points. 】
【Long-term goal: to help First Cause graduate successfully. 】
[Warning: If the ‘campus satisfaction’ falls below 30 points (the warning line for expulsion), ‘First Cause’ may give up its ‘student’ status.
It has caused a devastating blow to the concepts of “education” and “growth” in this world. 】
Looking at this long-term task that could be called a “development game”, the girls were all silent.
Their world has instantly switched from the grand narrative of “the survival of the universe” to the daily campus life of “how to make a god not bored in school”.
This rapid change in style made it difficult for them to adapt for a while.
“That is to say.”
Kaguya Shinomiya rubbed her aching temple and came to a conclusion.
“Not only do we have to be his babysitters, but now, we have to be his classmates and counselors part-time?”
“It seems so.”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression was also full of helplessness.
“Moreover, the campus is a more complex environment than any previous battlefield. The interpersonal relationships here are more chaotic than the law of cause and effect.”
“Humph, just a bunch of weak mortals.”
Esdeath’s eyes were filled with disdain.
“If anyone dares to displease my king, I will…”
“You just freeze him and the school together, then we fail the mission and we’re all doomed, right?”
Mai Sakurajima complained weakly.
Esdeath was speechless for a moment.
She discovered that in this new “copy”, her EX-level combat power seemed to be sealed again.
“Okay, stop complaining.”
Kaguya forced herself to cheer herself up. She knew that now was not the time to be discouraged.
“Now that the mission has been issued, we must complete it.
Moreover, we have not yet completely succeeded in the task of ‘maintaining the home’.
Lin Mojun only agreed to stay ‘temporarily’. If we can’t make him feel a sense of belonging to this ‘home’, he may run away again at any time.”
Her words alerted everyone.
They are now facing a two-front battle.
One is the “campus line” and the other is the “family line”.
None of them can collapse.
“Well, now, let’s divide the work.”
In Kaguya’s eyes, the light of control over everything that belonged to the heir of the Shinomiya family was rekindled.
“We need to raise Lin Mojun’s satisfaction with this ‘home’ to a new level before he goes to school!
We want him to know that living here is ten thousand times better than living in his shabby little apartment!”
The most intense housekeeping war in history, centered around “how to improve the happiness of gods at home”, has begun.
“First, the basic environment! Hayasaka!”
Kaguya gave the order.
Hayasaka Ai instantly entered the “all-purpose maid” mode.
“In five minutes, I will make this apartment, from the living room to the bedroom, from the ceiling to every fiber of the carpet, absolutely dust-free, absolutely comfortable, and absolutely perfect!”
“Yes, sir!”
Hayasaka Ai’s figure instantly turned into an afterimage that could not be captured by the naked eye.
She did not use any supernatural powers, but simply relied on her EX-level housekeeping skills that exceeded human limits.
In her hands, the vacuum cleaner was like the most deadly weapon, silently and efficiently sucking away every speck of dust.
In her hands, the rag is like a divine paintbrush. Every surface it wipes becomes as smooth as new, and even reflects a person’s shadow.
It only took her four minutes and thirty seconds to complete this top-floor apartment of several hundred square meters.
The place was cleaned to look fresh, and the air was filled with a fresh smell like “forest after rain”.
[The comfort level of the home environment of the ‘First Cause’ has been raised to 95 points (excellent). ]The system prompted, causing Kaguya to nod in satisfaction.
“Very good! Next, it’s the atmosphere creation team!”
She looked at Yukino and Mai.
“Yukinoshita-san, Sakurajima-san, the soul of a home lies in its ‘atmosphere’!
I need you to create a family atmosphere that can make Lin Mojun feel ‘warm’ and ‘interesting’! “
This task made both Yukino and Mai feel a huge pressure.
“Warm?”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s expression looked a little unnatural.
She is a person who is accustomed to isolating herself from the outside world with cold rationality.
Asking her to create a “warm” family atmosphere is more difficult than asking her to solve a Goldbach conjecture.
But she still tried her best.
She took out a set of her most treasured, top-quality tea sets from her room.
She imitated Hayasaka Ai’s previous movements, although it was far less precise and graceful, but every move was filled with her own serious yet clumsy intentions.
She made a cup of tea with a light fragrance for Lin Mo.
“That one please.”
She handed over the teacup and even forced an extremely rare, somewhat stiff smile on her face.
Lin Mo glanced at her, then looked at the cup of tea. Although he didn’t say anything, he still took it and took a sip.
[‘First cause’ mood state, due to ‘clumsy tenderness’, slight fluctuation. Home satisfaction +1. ]On the other side, Sakurajima Mai also took action.
She knows that warmth alone is not enough, it also needs to be “funny”.
She ran to the living room’s entertainment system and turned on the giant 8K-resolution LCD TV.
“Lin Mojun, let’s go watch a movie! How about the movie “Adolescence Concerto” that I won the Best Actress award for last year? I can give you a live director’s version of the commentary!”
She wanted to use her expertise to add some entertainment to this home.
Lin Mo glanced at the “himself” on the TV screen who was playing the tragic heroine and crying bitterly.
With a blank expression, he pressed the “Change Channel” button on the remote control.
The TV screen switched to a cartoon channel that was playing “Tom and Jerry”.
Sakurajima Mai’s smile froze again.
[‘First reason’ mood state, due to ‘interesting animation’, a small fluctuation. Home satisfaction +2. ]Kaguya watched all this with a frown on her face.
She knew that these were just minor incidents.
In order to truly make Lin Mo feel a sense of belonging to this “home”, something more core is needed – a sense of security and uniqueness.
“Esdeath, Ryougi Shiki!”
She looked at the last two people.
“Safety and order are the cornerstones of maintaining a stable home! I need you to turn this place into a unique sanctuary that cannot be violated!”
“Just what I want!”
Esdeath was already tired of waiting.
She walked over to the huge French window and pressed her hands against the glass.
This time, she did not release cold murderous aura, but used the new skill she gained after completing the trial – ‘Ice Vitality’.
A gentle chill filled with the breath of life surged out from her palms.
On the huge floor-to-ceiling window glass, exquisite ice roses made of pure ice crystals and emitting a faint glow began to grow and bloom rapidly.
These ice roses are not only beautiful like works of art, their petals can also automatically adjust the light in the room.
Their roots form an energy network that is invisible to the naked eye and spreads throughout the entire apartment.
It has early warning and defense capabilities against any hostile intrusion that are billions of times more powerful than the Shinomiya family’s security system.
[The safety factor of the home environment of ‘First Cause’ has been raised to MAX (God’s Domain Level). ]As for Ryougi Shiki, her approach is more direct and more “conceptual”.
She just walked quietly to the center of the apartment.
Closed his eyes.
Then, using her will that was connected to the roots, she issued a “definition”.
She “killed” all concepts of “inconvenience” and “abnormality” in this apartment.
From this moment on.
The Wi-Fi signal in this apartment will always be full, and the download speed will always be the theoretical maximum.
The milk in the refrigerator will never expire.
Bath water will always reach your desired temperature within 0.1 seconds.
The key you just put on the table will always appear where you see it first when you need it.
All the tiny possibilities that might cause the slightest bit of “unhappiness” were completely eliminated by her from the root.
[The convenience of the home environment of ‘First Cause’ has been upgraded to BUG level (concept correction). ]After doing all this, the six guardians were exhausted and out of breath.
They looked at the room which, through their joint efforts, had been transformed from a luxurious apartment.
It has become the ultimate residence that combines “absolute cleanliness”, “absolute comfort”, “absolute safety” and “absolute convenience”, and can be called the “kingdom of God on earth”.
They looked at Lin Mo sitting on the sofa with expectant eyes.
They have already done it to the extreme.
Now, you should be satisfied, right?
You’re not thinking of moving away again, are you?
Lin Mo, feeling all these changes.
He drank the perfect cup of tea, watched interesting animations, and enjoyed the perfect room temperature and internet.
Finally, his face, which had never changed for thousands of years, revealed an extremely subtle expression of satisfaction, similar to “Well, not bad.”
He stood up, walked back to the entrance, and picked up the backpack he had thrown on the ground.
Then he walked to the newly created “personal space” area in the living room.
He randomly selected a blank, unopened “door” and threw his backpack in.
This action means that he acknowledges that this is also his “room”.
The system panel burst out with an unprecedented, brilliant golden light.
[Ω-level main quest ‘Maintaining the Family’ has been perfectly completed! ][Evaluation: Miracle. You have successfully created a ‘harbor’ for a being that has been wandering for billions of years, where he is willing to stay.][The team bond ‘Maintaining the Family’ is upgraded to LV2. 】
[Team public account, get reward: 100,000 system points. ][Special Reward Unlock: Team Skill ‘God’s Residence’ (Passive: As long as ‘First Cause’ lives here.
This apartment will be permanently immune to all physical and conceptual erosion below the Ω level, and will slowly and continuously increase the upper limit of the spiritual power of each guardian).
Looking at the reward that was generous enough to make them scream, the six guardians all showed a heartfelt and extremely bright smile.
They succeeded.
However, just as they were about to celebrate.
Lin Mo pointed to the clock on the wall and spoke lightly.
“There are still fifteen minutes left. We will be late.”
The smiles of the six girls froze on their faces in an instant.
They still have to go to school.
Chapter 30 Return to School and Silent Battlefield (Old Version)
Sobu High School.
When the low-key Lexus LS driven by Hayasaka Ai herself, and the top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce with license plate number “44-44” sent by the Shinomiya family.
We stopped at the school gate almost at the same time.
The entire campus fell into an eerie silence, as if time had been paused.
All the students who are about to enter the school gate, whether they are ordinary students or influential figures like Hayato Hayama who are at the top of the campus pyramid.
They all subconsciously stopped and held their breath.
Their eyes, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, were uncontrollably focused on the doors of the two cars.
The car door opened.
The first person to get out of the Lexus was Yukino Yukinoshita.
She still looked as cold as ice, with black stockings wrapped around her straight and slender calves, and she exuded the aura of an “Ice Queen” that kept strangers away.
Next up, it was Mai Sakurajima.
This national idol senior wore the Sobu High School uniform for the first time today, although she cleverly unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt.
The skirt was shortened by a few centimeters, but it still couldn’t hide her foul-level figure and charm. Her appearance instantly made the air around her become hot.
Then, there are the two rituals.
She was wearing a plain kimono, which was out of place in this modern campus, with a blue jacket over it.
She had an expressionless face and empty eyes, like a lonely demon slayer from another era, out of tune with everything around her.
The door of the Rolls-Royce also opened at the same time.
Kaguya Shinomiya walked down slowly. Every detail of her school uniform was perfect as if it had been measured with a ruler.
On his face was an impeccable and elegant smile that belonged to the heir of the Shinomiya family, but deep in those red eyes, there was a hint of majesty that looked down on everyone.
Following closely behind was Esdeath.
Although this ice tyrant was also wearing a school uniform, her iron-blooded and domineering aura, which was honed through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was not concealed at all.
She just stood there, but the students around her felt an inexplicable urge to kneel down and surrender.
Finally, there is Hayasaka Ai.
She was not wearing a maid outfit today, but a neat student uniform and a pair of plain glasses, playing the role of “an ordinary classmate of Miss Kaguya”.
But her respectful attitude as she followed behind Kaguya still exposed her identity.
Six women.
The Queen of Ice and Snow, the National Idol, the Princess of Origin, the Ruler of Gold, the Tyrant of Eternal Winter, the All-Powerful Maid.
In any story, these six characters are definitely heroine-level characters, possessing top-level charm in different fields.
At this moment, they were like six planets orbiting a star, surrounding a man and walking down from between the two cars.
Lin Mo.
He still looked lazy and had no interest in anything.
With his hands in his pockets and a wandering look in his eyes, he seemed to be thinking about whether to have fried noodles or curry pork chop rice for lunch today.
The moment when this team, which could be described as a “dimensional disaster” level, officially stepped into the Sobu High School campus.
All the students watching felt that their brains were overwhelmed by an overwhelming and unprocessable flow of information.
“What’s that?”
A boy asked stutteringly, he felt like his eyes were about to be blinded by the light.
“Yukinoshita-san and Shinomiya-san are actually going to school with Sakurajima-san?”
“Isn’t that blue-haired transfer student also an enemy of Yukinoshita and the others?”
“And who is she in the kimono? Is there a student like her in our school?”
“The most important thing is why are they all surrounding Lin Mo!”
“Who the hell is this man?
Did he save the galaxy in his previous life?”
Envy, jealousy, shock, confusion, fear.
Countless complex emotions spread among the crowd.
And Hayato Hayama, the recognized “Prince” of Sobu High School, was standing in the crowd at this moment, his face looking extremely ugly.
He looked at the ordinary man surrounded by six goddess-like girls for the first time.
He began to have deep doubts about the aura of “present-day” that he was proud of and that was always successful.
He felt that there was an insurmountable dimensional gap between him and Lin Mo.
Lin Mo had no reaction to everything around him.
He just walked straight towards the teaching building.
The six guardians immediately followed in a carefully calculated formation that both demonstrated their presence and avoided interfering with each other.
Kaguya and Yukino are still standing on the left and right, like the most loyal left and right protectors.
Esdeath and Ryougi Shiki walked a little behind, one was responsible for guarding against physical threats, and the other was responsible for sensing abnormalities at the conceptual level.
Sakurajima Mai and Hayasaka Ai, like two wingmen, handle some peripheral and social issues with ease.
Wherever the team passed, the students automatically retreated to the sides like Moses parting the sea, making way for a wide passage.
No one dared to look them in the eye.
Because they saw the same, unquestionable thing in the eyes of those six women.
It was the look of a fanatic who was guarding his own “god”.
However, their troubles have just begun.
When they walked into the classroom of Class 2, Grade J.
An unexpected person stood in front of them.
It’s Shizuka Hiratsuka.
This Chinese language teacher at Sobu High School is also a life guidance teacher.
Her mood today seemed worse than ever.
The dark circles under her eyes were as dark as if she had been punched.
She crossed her arms over her chest, an unlit cigarette in her mouth, and stared at Lin Mo and the “harem” behind him with a scrutinizing and angry look.
“Lin Mo.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka’s voice suppressed the anger that was about to explode.
“And the rest of you. Yukinoshita, Shinomiya, Esdeath, Sakurajima? Why are you here too? And you two newcomers.”
Her eyes, like a searchlight, swept over everyone.
“All of you, now, immediately, immediately! Come with me to the Life Guidance Office!”
“We need to have a serious discussion about ‘healthy interpersonal relationships on campus’!”
Behind Hiratsuka Shizuka stood several student union officials, including the serious-looking President Johwashun.
Obviously, Lin Mo’s “school team” is too luxurious.
It has escalated from a simple campus gossip to a “serious disciplinary issue” that requires the joint intervention of the student union and teachers.
A warning immediately popped up on the system panel.
[Warning: The ‘trouble level’ event – ‘Teacher’s accountability’ has been triggered. ][The campus satisfaction of “First Cause” has begun to decline. Current score: 59 points (failed).][Please resolve this incident immediately. Otherwise, when the satisfaction level drops to 50 points, it will cause irreversible negative impact on the personal file of “First Cause” (such as being punished). ]The six guardians’ expressions changed at the same time.
They knew that their first and most difficult “silent war” on campus had begun.
The battlefield is the life guidance room.
The enemy is Shizuka Hiratsuka, an older single woman who is famous throughout Sobu High School for her “iron fist” and “love preaching”.
Their restrictions are:
Cannot use any supernatural powers.
No real information can be revealed.
The most important thing.
We must not let the “god” behind us feel the slightest “impatience”.
Chapter 31: The Service Department’s Request and the Tyrant’s Gardening Lesson (Old Version)
Life Guidance Room.
The air seemed to freeze.
Shizuka Hiratsuka sat behind her desk, her face, which looked a little haggard due to years of staying up late and drinking, was now filled with a gloomy look as if a storm was brewing.
Her fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and each tap was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the six guardians.
Opposite her, on a long sofa, sat the protagonists of this “interrogation”.
Lin Mo still looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He even took out his cell phone from his pocket and started playing Candy Crush as if no one was around.
His action made the veins on Hiratsuka Shizuka’s forehead twitch even more.
The six girls sitting next to him sat upright, like six prisoners awaiting their final trial.
“Okay, let’s talk about it.”
Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the urge to punch the table.
She slapped a thick printed report on the table.
“These are the complaints and unusual incident reports that the Student Union and Discipline Committee received about you in the past week. A total of 173.”
She picked up the first page and read:
“‘Lin Mo from Class J of Year 2 is suspected of having improper and chaotic relationships with multiple female classmates, which has seriously damaged the campus atmosphere.'”
“‘The daughter of the Shinomiya Group, Shinomiya Kaguya, and the ice queen Yukinoshita Yukino, are suspected to be fighting for the ‘ownership’ of Lin Mo.
There was a supernatural confrontation on the rooftop, which caused large areas of cracks on the concrete floor of the rooftop.'”
“‘The new transfer student Esdeath, on the first day of school, openly made the shocking statement ‘You are my man’ and stood at the school gate.
To Lin Mo, they gave him a Nazi salute, no, a knight’s salute, which had an extremely bad impact.'”
“‘National idol Mai Sakurajima frequently came in and out of the second-grade teaching building and behaved intimately with Lin Mo.
Suspected, this one says ‘some kind of unspeakable and dangerous transaction involving the laws of the universe’. The student who wrote this report has a very rich imagination. “
Every time Hiratsuka Shizuka read a sentence, Kaguya, Yukino and Esdeath’s faces became darker.
They didn’t expect that their actions would be observed so “meticulously” by those seemingly ordinary students.
“These are just minor problems.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka threw down the report and her eyes became sharp.
“The real problem is, Lin Mo.
Who are you? Why are these top and most outstanding girls in our school obsessed with you? “
She stared at Lin Mo, trying to see something from his calm face.
This is a question that goes straight to the heart of the matter.
This is also a question that absolutely cannot be answered.
The six girls’ hearts were in their throats.
They were afraid that Lin Mo would become impatient and directly say the truth, something like “Oh, I’m probably the BUG and administrator of this universe.”
At this extremely tense moment.
Kaguya was the first to stand up.
She put on that perfect, flawless smile that belonged to the heir of the Shinomiya family again.
“Hiratsuka-sensei, you misunderstood.”
Her voice was soft, sincere and persuasive.
“The relationship between us and Lin Mojun is not what you imagine.
This is actually a highly confidential sociological experiment being conducted by our Shinomiya family’s ‘Human Social Behavior Research Institute’.”
“Experiment?” Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned.
“Yes.” Kaguya began to make up a story without changing her expression.
“The topic of the experiment is called ‘On an individual with extreme ‘passive attractiveness’.
What kind of impact will it have on women of different social classes and personalities around them?’
And Lin Mojun is the unique and perfect experimental observation subject that we have spent countless resources to find.”
“And we,” she pointed at herself and a few others, “are the ‘observers’ who volunteered to participate in the experiment, representing different symbols such as ‘chaebol’, ‘elite’, ‘military force’, and ‘entertainment’.
All our actions are carried out within the framework of the experimental outline. We have a professional team that records and analyzes data 24 hours a day. “
These words are well-reasoned and full of scientific rigor.
Even she herself was almost believing it.
“Sociological experiment?” Hiratsuka Shizuka was skeptical.
“Yes, teacher.” Yukinoshita Yukino immediately followed up and added.
“This experiment aims to explore the nature of interpersonal relationships in modern society. The research results.
In the future, it will provide important theoretical support for solving problems such as school bullying and social isolation. Therefore, teachers are kindly requested to understand and cooperate. “
Her words instantly elevated this “nonsense” to the level of “contributing to the entire human society.”
Even Mai Sakurajima who was standing by couldn’t help but applaud them in her heart.
With such acting skills and such lines, the Oscars owe them a golden statue.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little dazed by their combination of punches.
She looked at the two top students with sincere faces and rigorous logic, and then looked at the so-called “experimental observation subject” who was still playing Candy Crush.
She felt that her brain was not enough.
Although she always felt something was wrong, she couldn’t find any loopholes to refute it.
In the end, she could only wave her hands and speak weakly.
“Okay, even if what you said is true.
After that, please also pay attention to the impact!
Especially on campus! Whether it’s experiments or anything else, keep a low profile! Do you hear me? “
“Yes, teacher.”
The six girls answered in unison and respectfully.
A crisis that was enough to overturn the school’s morals was forcibly suppressed by Kaguya and Yukino with a bunch of nonsense.
[The ‘troublesome’ incident ‘Teacher’s accountability’ has been resolved. ][Evaluation: Excellent. With excellent on-the-spot response and teamwork, they successfully confused the audience. ][‘First reason’ campus satisfaction has risen to 62 points. ]Walking out of the life guidance room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yukino’s troubles are not over yet.
Because she remembered her own personal trial – in the Service Department, working with those two “troublesome” companions to complete a commission.
She gritted her teeth and went to the service club’s activity room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the familiar boy with a pair of dead eyes, who seemed to never wake up – Hikigaya Hachiman.
And the always energetic, smiling, pink-haired girl – Yuigahama Yui.
“Hello! Yukino-chan!”
Yuigahama Yui greeted warmly.
Hikigaya Hachiman simply raised his eyelids as a greeting.
“I’m back.”
Yukino said calmly, then sat down in her seat.
Just then, the door of the activity room was knocked again.
The person who walked in made Yukino’s brows frown instantly.
It was Hayato Hayama and the group of popular people around him, including Yumiko Miura and others.
“Excuse me, Yukinoshita-san.”
Hayato Hayama had a hearty, irresistible smile on his face.
“We are here to commission.
Regarding next month’s cultural festival, our class and the class next door want to jointly organize a large-scale haunted house event.
However, we have some disagreements in planning, so we would like to ask the Service Department to help us coordinate. “
Here it comes.
Yukino’s heart sank.
She knew that her hellish trial had begun.
On the other side of the school, in the abandoned, almost neglected greenhouse of the horticulture department.
Esdeath is facing another difficult battle in her life.
Her personal challenge is to “take care of a pot of succulents and maintain a peaceful state of mind for 24 hours.”
At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged in front of the succulent plant that had evolved into an “intelligent life form”, trying to have a “spiritual communication” with it.
“Listen, little one.”
She said in a tone that she thought was very gentle.
“Today, we are going to learn a new topic – ‘Glorious Evolution’. In order to make you stronger, I decided to give you a small ‘militarization transformation’.”
As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers, and wisps of pure cold air with the attribute of “vitality of ice” began to be injected into the body of the succulent.
She wanted to use her own power to speed up the “evolution” of the plant.
Let it grow ice armor, have the ability to shoot ice needles, and become a “combat succulent”.
However, she obviously misunderstood the meaning of “careful care”.
Just when her power was about to make an irreversible transformation on the poor pot of succulent plants.
The door of the greenhouse was pushed open.
The real Minister of Gardening, wearing a straw hat and gardening clothes and looking a little frail, walked in.
When he saw the legendary, extremely violent transfer student Esdeath, facing a pot of succulents, emitting a strange, blue “fighting spirit”.
He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
“Esdeath-san, what are you doing to my ‘meat paste’!”
He asked in a trembling voice with a tearful tone.
Esdeath looked at this mortal who suddenly appeared and was as weak as an ant, and then looked at his terrified expression.
Her “tyrant” instinct, which had been suppressed for so long, was almost about to explode.
She really wanted to turn this guy who disturbed her “teaching” and this broken greenhouse into an eternal ice sculpture.
Chapter 32: The Peep Behind the Scenes and the Premonition of the Storm (Old Version)
Every day at Sobu High School passed in an eerie, undercurrent-filled calm.
After school, the service club.
Yukinoshita Yukino felt that her spirit was on the verge of collapse.
The so-called “joint haunted house planning” commission from Hayato Hayama has completely turned into a disastrous interpersonal relationship game.
Yumiko Miura and Hina Ebina had a huge argument over whether the theme of the haunted house should be “horror” or “fun”.
Tobe Shokazu and Yamato almost had a fight over who would play the important role of the “scary ghost”.
Hayato Hayama, like a brilliant politician, constantly smooths things over and tries to maintain superficial peace in his fragile “realm group”.
And Hikigaya Hachiman, sat aside from the beginning to the end, observing everything with his dead fish eyes indifferently, from time to time.
Say one or two malicious “truths” that are enough to bring the atmosphere to freezing point.
Yuigahama Yui was like a headless fly, constantly trying to smooth things over.
Saying “let’s all live in harmony” or “well, well, calm down” has basically no effect.
Yukinoshita Yukino was tightly bound by her trial task of “not rejecting other people’s suggestions more than three times”.
Several times, she wanted to stand up and use her cold, logical language to refute this group of stupid mortals.
But she can’t.
She could only watch this farce escalate and ferment.
She felt that her rationality was being driven crazy by the “youth” of this group of people.
In the end, this farce ended in a way that no one expected.
While everyone was arguing, Hikigaya Hachiman slowly stood up.
He proposed a “final solution” in a self-destructive tone, as if he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the world.
“In that case, let me play the most terrifying, disgusting, and most annoying ghost.
I have to take all the blame.
This way, you can unite and ‘hate’ me, your common enemy. Problem solved.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the activity room silently.
Everyone in the room was left looking at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at his lonely back, as if he was against the whole world.
For the first time, her heart was filled with a complex emotion that she couldn’t explain, a mixture of “confusion”, “anger” and a hint of “admiration”.
She seemed to understand a little bit what this person meant by “gentleness”.
At this time, a prompt popped up on the system panel.
[Personal trial ‘Collapse of rationality’ has been completed. ][Evaluation: Pass. Although you did not take the initiative to solve the problem, you learned to “observe” and “be patient”.
This is the first step that is more important than solving the problem. 】
Yukino looked at the prompt indicating that the task was completed, but she did not feel any joy in her heart.
She just felt like she had lost to that man.
And at the same time.
In every corner of Sobu High School, some more bizarre and unknown changes are quietly taking place.
In the greenhouse of the Horticulture Department, there is a pot of succulent plants that has been “militarized” by Esdeath.
In the middle of the night, a faint electronic sound similar to “For the Queen” will be heard.
The piano in the music classroom would occasionally play a march that did not belong to this world and was full of the atmosphere of death and war.
The expressions of the plaster statues in the art room would turn into ones of fear when no one was paying attention.
These minor, supernatural phenomena did not attract the attention of most students.
But it was captured keenly by one person.
After completing her trials, she activated her “intelligence gathering” mode as a top agent.
She used the Shinomiya family intelligence network provided by Kaguya, which was sufficient to monitor the entire Japan, and began to conduct carpet-style, 24-hour, no-blind-angle monitoring of Sobu High School.
Soon, she realized something was wrong.
These strange phenomena seem to be unrelated, but the places where they occur all have one thing in common.
That is, they are all on the “edge” of Lin Mo’s daily activities.
They are like tiny “probes” that are carefully and little by little testing some invisible “boundaries” in this school.
“Miss, something is wrong.”
After school, on the way back to the apartment in the Rolls-Royce, Hayasaka Ai reported her discovery to Kaguya.
“Someone, at school, is conducting some small-scale ‘reality interference’ experiment that we cannot understand.
The opponent’s technique was very sophisticated and he did not cause any large-scale energy fluctuations.
I am just using a ‘small effort to move a large object’ approach to change the ‘rules’ of this world.”
Kaguya’s expression also became solemn.
She knew this was no accident.
After experiencing the TYPE-MOON incident, this seemingly peaceful world upgraded by Lin Mo has turned into a piece of Tang Monk’s meat.
Countless “peeps” from higher dimensions are secretly observing here, trying to get a piece of the pie, or simply want to watch a “good show”.
“Can you find the source?” Kaguya asked.
“Not yet.”
Hayasaka Ai shook her head, “The opponent’s anti-reconnaissance ability is extremely strong. He is like a non-existent ‘ghost’, revealing all the clues.
When it came to him, everything was interrupted.
I can only roughly infer that he, or ‘it’, is hiding among the students of Sobu High School.”
Hidden among the students?
Kaguya’s heart sank.
This means that their enemies are no longer natural disasters that can be clearly observed like TYPE-MOON.
Rather, it is an unknown “mastermind” who is lurking around them, understands them, and may even be smiling and greeting them.
This invisible enemy hidden in daily life is far more terrifying and difficult to deal with than any frontal attack.
“We must find him out.”
A cold light flashed in Kaguya’s eyes.
“Before Lin Mojun gets ‘annoyed’ by these little actions.”
However, their actions were still a step slow.
The next day, when they came to school again.
A bigger “trouble” is waiting for them.
In the classroom of Class J of the second grade, all the students gathered together, discussing something excitedly.
“Hey, have you heard? It seems that our school is going to have a new chairman!”
“Is this true? Didn’t the previous chairman do a good job?”
“I heard that he was parachuted in from above, and his background seems to be very strong! It is said that even the Governor’s Office has to give him some face!”
“Wow, isn’t our school going to change drastically?”
Hearing these discussions, Kaguya and Yukino both frowned subconsciously.
They all smelled something unusual from this incident.
Just then, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the classroom.
Her face had an extremely rare and complex expression, a mixture of “excitement”, “admiration” and “flattery”.
“Students, please be quiet.”
She cleared her throat and announced in an unprecedentedly gentle tone:
“Today, our school will welcome a new chairman.
He is a great life mentor who is full of wisdom and charm and truly understands the meaning of “youth”.
Wait a minute, he will come to inspect our class.
Everyone, please show your best spirits! “
As she spoke, she actually took out a small mirror from her pocket and began to fix her makeup.
This gesture made the whole class drop their jaws in shock.
Is this still the extremely violent Iron Fist Jing?
As for Kaguya, Yukino and the others, the ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
The door of the classroom was pushed open.
A man walked in with a smile, surrounded by a group of school directors.
He was wearing a white suit, had a slender figure, handsome face, and his golden hair was combed meticulously.
On his face, there was a cynical and charming smile, as if he had the whole world at his fingertips.
His eyes swept across the class and finally landed on Lin Mo, who was sleeping on the table.
The corners of his mouth curved up into a more playful arc, full of the feeling of having succeeded in playing a prank.
He stretched out his hand and introduced himself to the whole class in a magnetic, magical voice.
“Nice to meet you, classmates.
From today on, I am the new chairman of Sobu High School.”
“My name is Loki Laufeyson.”
“Please give me more advice.”
Chapter 33: The Coming of the Evil God and the Collapse of Daily Life (Old Version)
Loki Laufeyson.
When this name, like a magical syllable, echoed in the classroom of Class J of Grade 2.
The faces of Shinomiya Kaguya and Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly became darker than the sky outside the window.
Almost at the same time, they determined the other’s true identity from the name and the vague “divine” aura that seemed to be otherworldly in this man.
In Norse mythology, the evil god, Loki.
One of the culprits who caused “Ragnarok”, famous for his lies, tricks and pranks.
How did he end up here?
Moreover, he suddenly became the new chairman of Sobu High School?
This is simply cosmic absurdity!
【Warning! Warning! An ‘out-of-specification’ threat has been detected! 】
[Threat source: Asgard]Threat Identification: Loki Laufeyson
[Threat Overview: This entity possesses a high degree of intelligence and deception capabilities, and its behavior patterns are centered around “creating chaos” and “observing for fun.”
It has been confirmed that the series of minor supernatural phenomena that occurred on campus before were all caused by this beast. 】
[Current status: Successfully infiltrated the daily activities of the ‘First Cause’ and obtained the legal identity of ‘Chairman’.
Its ultimate goal is to closely observe and induce the First Cause to produce “interesting” emotional fluctuations to satisfy its evil taste. 】
[Threat Level: Alpha (It cannot cause direct physical destruction to the current world, but its behavior is very likely to cause the irritation of the “First Cause”, indirectly leading to a cosmic disaster). ]The bright red, flashing warning on the system panel and the long, ominous threat overview made the six guardians’ hearts sink to the bottom.
The thing they were most worried about finally happened.
The “snooper” hiding behind the scenes was not only caught out, but also attacked in a way that was almost a “dimensionality reduction attack” that they were completely unable to prevent.
He was directly airdropped into their “main base” and obtained the highest management authority.
How can we play this?
“Well, everyone.”
Loki had a charming smile on his face that was enough to confuse everyone and full of friendliness. His eyes swept across the class seemingly casually.
In the end, it seemed as if it had automatic navigation and stopped accurately at the person lying on the table.
It seemed that Lin Mo was not affected at all by the “domineering aura” of the new chairman and was still sleeping soundly.
“As the new chairman, I hope to get to know every student as quickly as possible. Especially those who are ‘special’ in some ways.”
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the six top-notch beauties around Lin Mo, who had different styles but all exuded the same aura of “I’m not easy to mess with.”
“So, I have decided that starting today, I will personally serve as the ‘life mentor’ for Class 2 J.
Responsible for solving various ‘small’ troubles that everyone encounters in study, life, and…interpersonal communication. “
His rhythmic tone and those green eyes that seemed to see through everything and flashed with cunning light made Kaguya and the others break out in cold sweat on their backs.
It’s all over now.
This evil god not only wants to observe Lin Mo closely, but also wants to “personally guide” their “campus life”.
This is not the purpose of being the chairman of the board.
This person is here to “cause trouble”!
[Mission Name: Gaze of the Evil God]【Mission Description: The high-risk entity ‘Loki’ has successfully infiltrated.
All of their actions prioritize “having fun”.
He will spare no expense to test, provoke, and detonate any potential “contradictions” and “conflicts” between the First Cause and its guardians, and he will take pleasure in doing so. 】
[Task requirements: In the following campus life, always be vigilant against any “guidance” and “incitement” from Loki.
We must be on guard against any mischief and never let them succeed. We guarantee that the campus satisfaction of “First Cause” is no less than 60 points. 】
[Task Rewards: Points will be awarded based on the number and difficulty of successfully stopping “pranks”.][Failure penalty: ‘First Cause’ will voluntarily drop out of school because he is extremely impatient with “campus life is too boring and full of hostility.”
At that time, the world’s ‘education system’ will be reset, and all schools will return to primitive tribes. 】
Looking at this “Mission Impossible” level guarding mission, the six girls’ faces showed expressions of even greater despair than when they faced TYPE-MOON.
They are not afraid of powerful enemies.
What they are afraid of is this kind of “old silver coin” who plays with people’s hearts, hides behind the scenes, and is afraid that the world will not be in chaos!
In particular, this old silver coin still holds the two precious swords of “Chairman” and “Life Mentor”.
He could openly create trouble for them with all kinds of “reasonable” reasons.
However, they must defuse all of Lin Mo’s conspiracies and plots without revealing their identities, using their superpowers, or making Lin Mo unhappy.
This difficulty is simply the hell level within the hell level.
“Well, the first ‘life guidance lesson’ begins now.”
Loki smiled and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, there was a deck of cards in his hand.
He cut the cards gracefully and said slowly in a voice full of allure:
“Today’s topic is ‘True love is priceless’. I have a small deck of cards here. Behind each card is a value of ’emotion’. Now, I would like to invite a few students to draw their own ‘destiny’.”
His gaze fell precisely on Kaguya Shinomiya and Yukinoshita Yukino.
“Shinomiya-san, Yukinoshita-san. As the two most outstanding female representatives of our class, why don’t you start this wonderful journey of exploring ‘true love’ for us?”
Kaguya and Yukino’s expressions changed at the same time.
They all smelled a strong scent of malicious conspiracy behind Loki’s seemingly kind smile.
There is definitely something wrong with this poker card!
But they couldn’t refuse.
Because Loki’s identity is the chairman of the board.
His requirement is “classroom interaction”.
If they refuse, it will immediately arouse suspicion from other students, and may even directly reduce Lin Mo’s “campus satisfaction”.
They looked at each other and saw the same solemnity and determination in each other’s eyes.
Kaguya took a deep breath, stood up first, and put that calm and elegant smile on her face again.
“Since it is the chairman’s invitation, Kaguya should obey.”
She walked slowly to the podium.
Loki smiled and spread out the deck of playing cards that exuded a strange aura in front of her, like a peacock spreading its tail.
“Please choose your destiny, beautiful Miss Kaguya.”
Kaguya’s eyes quickly scanned the cards.
Her brain, which is comparable to a supercomputer, analyzed all the combinations of cards and the possible traps hidden in them within 0.01 seconds.
However, she discovered that the backs of these cards were covered with a thin, impenetrable mist.
That is the interference of divine power.
She can’t cheat.
She could only choose based on her intuition.
She stretched out her slender fingers and casually pulled out a card from the deck.
Open.
On the card, there is a picture of a broken, bleeding heart.
There is a line of small words written at the bottom of the card.
“Redemption of a Betrayer: For the ‘love’ you cherish, are you willing to pay the price of ‘being misunderstood by everyone’?”
Kaguya’s pupils suddenly shrank.
And Loki smiled even more brightly.
“Oh? It looks like Kaguya-san has drawn a card with a lot of ‘depth’. Then, next, let’s see what the fate of Yukinoshita-san will be?”
His gaze turned to Yukinoshita Yukino.
Chapter 34: The Trial of Lies and the Ice Rose (Old Version)
Yukinoshita Yukino’s face was as gloomy as water, and she walked slowly to the podium.
She could clearly feel the faint fluctuations of divine power emanating from Loki, which were filled with teasing and malice, and enveloped the entire classroom like a spider web.
This is more than just a simple “classroom interaction”.
This is a “trial” orchestrated by the evil god himself, targeting them, the guardians, and is full of traps and malice.
Every choice and every reaction of theirs may become the fuse for the other party to break through their psychological defenses and detonate Lin Mo’s “final bomb”.
“Yukinoshita-san, please.”
Loki still looked like a gentle gentleman, and the playing cards in his hand flew in a dazzling trajectory between his slender fingers.
Yukino didn’t look at the cards.
Her pair of icy blue eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all illusions, just stared into Loki’s eyes quietly.
She was trying to find a flaw in the depths of this evil god’s eyes.
However, she was disappointed.
Loki’s eyes were like the deepest, star-filled night sky. They seemed beautiful, yet empty, without a trace of real emotion.
All his expressions and movements are just “roles” that he carefully plays for “fun”.
It is almost impossible to win the psychological game with such a being.
Yukino withdrew her gaze and refocused her attention on the cards.
She didn’t try to analyze and calculate like Kaguya did.
She knew that in the face of absolute divine power, any mortal wisdom would be futile.
She simply relied on her purest intuition that came from her ice and snow bloodline, stretched out her hand, and drew a card from the deck.
On the card, there is a picture of a lonely, frozen rose.
Crystal frost condensed on the petals of the rose, which was beautiful, but also carried a chill that kept people away.
There is also a line of small words written at the bottom of the card.
“The persistence of the lonely: For the ‘righteousness’ you believe in, are you willing to endure the loneliness of ‘not being understood by anyone’?”
Kaguya’s “betrayal” and Yukino’s “loneliness”.
Loki looked at the two cards, the smile on his face becoming more playful and mysterious.
“It seems that the two heroines in our class have drawn their own very exciting ‘scripts’.”
He clapped softly, as if cheering for the opening of a good show.
“Then, let us look forward to how they will interpret their own ‘destiny’.”
His words, like an ominous prophecy, cast a thick shadow on Kaguya and Yukino’s hearts.
They know that from this moment on, their campus life will no longer be peaceful.
Loki, the damn evil god, has laid countless clues for them.
And after school.
When Kaguya and Yukino returned to the apartment with heavy hearts, carrying their respective strange “destiny cards”.
They found that the atmosphere in the apartment was also a little strange.
Esdeath, the tyrant of eternal winter, was currently sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the living room.
In front of her was a pot of plant that had evolved into an “Ice Crystal Succulent Battle Pet”.
But she did not give it the “military training” she usually did.
Instead, he took out a rare book called “Introduction to the Art of Flower Arrangement”.
Her hands, which were used to holding spears and commanding thousands of troops, were now clumsily and carefully fiddling with some ordinary flowers and plants picked from the garden.
Her face had an extremely rare and complex expression that was a mixture of “confusion”, “irritation” and a hint of “seriousness”.
“How should the tilt angle of this flower branch be controlled to reflect the beauty of ‘wabi-sabi’?”
She muttered to herself, frowning, as if she was studying a problem more complicated than strategic deployment.
On the other hand, Mai Sakurajima locked herself in her “personal domain” (pocket space).
According to Hayasaka Ai, she has been in there ever since she came back, undergoing some kind of “secret special training”.
From time to time, some meaningless monologues, like lines from a stage play, could be heard from inside.
“No, I’m not Mai Sakurajima! I’m just an ordinary, sweet-toothed, high school girl passing by, Hanako Suzuki!”
“Ah, handsome guy, do you know how to get to the nearest discount supermarket?”
As for Ryougi Shiki, she still maintained her unchanged posture, blending into the shadows.
But Kaguya keenly noticed that she had made a small extra move today.
From time to time, she would pull out a small, black cookie from her pocket that looked like it had been baked poorly.
Then, expressionlessly, he took a few small bites of it.
Although she ate slowly, her expression was calm.
But Kaguya could still tell from the slightly twitching corner of her mouth that the taste of that cookie must be very hard to describe.
Obviously, Loki’s strange playing cards are not only aimed at Kaguya and Yukino.
It exerted some kind of “influence” on all the guardians in the apartment in a way they could not understand.
It magnifies some of the most unknown “obsessions” or “flaws” deep in their hearts.
And in a subtle way, guide them to “complete” a certain “behavior” that conforms to the definition of the card.
This is the evil god’s evil taste.
He did not mean to destroy them outright.
He just wanted to watch a wonderful “drama” starring them themselves, full of “human struggles”.
“This bastard.”
Kaguya gritted her teeth, feeling powerless.
She found that all her wisdom and wealth seemed so pale in front of this evil god who played with people’s hearts.
They are like butterflies trapped in a spider’s web. The more they struggle, the tighter they get.
Just then, Lin Mo walked out of his room.
He seemed to have just woken up from a nap, with a hint of sleepiness on his face.
He walked into the living room and saw Esdeath struggling with a bunch of flowers and plants, and Ryougi Shiki chewing on an unknown object.
His face had the same expressionless look as usual.
Then, as usual, he walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and prepared to take out a bottle of Coke.
However, when he saw the refrigerator filled with various fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat milk and healthy salads that were carefully prepared by Hayasaka Ai according to nutrition and his taste preferences.
He was silent.
He closed the refrigerator door.
Open again.
Close it again.
After repeating several times.
For the first time, his face, which had never changed for a thousand years, revealed a clear and undisguised expression of “dissatisfaction”.
“Where’s my Coke?”
He turned his head and looked at the women in the living room, each with their own thoughts, and asked in a calm tone with a hint of danger.
“Who replaced my fat house happy water with this tasteless grass?”
Chapter 35: The Disappearance of Coke and the Smile of the Evil God (Old Version)
Lin Mo’s calm question without a trace of ripples was like dropping a red-hot iron ball onto the ice surface at absolute zero degrees.
The air in the entire living room froze in an instant.
Kaguya, Yukino, Esdeath, Mai, and Hayasaka Ai, who had just completed a perfect round of housekeeping service, all five of their hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
This was the only thought that flashed through their minds.
They are on high alert and very careful.
They even survived TYPE-MOON’s reality overwrite.
But no one expected that the one who would finally detonate this cosmic-level explosive barrel would be
A missing bottle of Coke.
[Warning! Warning! The emotional state of ‘First Cause’ is rapidly falling into the ‘irritable’ range! ][Current comfort level: 55%! It has fallen below the passing line! ][If the ‘Coke Rage’ cannot be calmed down within three minutes, it will trigger a Class C (Daily Level) disaster – ‘Global Disappearance of Carbonated Drinks’! ]The blood-red warning on the system panel flashed madly like a death warrant.
Are carbonated drinks disappearing worldwide?
This doesn’t sound as scary as the previous universe restart or law rewriting.
But for the billions of “fat guys” around the world, this is definitely a doomsday disaster!
Hayasaka Ai, the all-round maid, for the first time, had an uncontrollable tremor in her voice.
She walked out from behind Kaguya and bowed deeply, ninety degrees.
“I’m so sorry, Master Lin Mo.
It was my initiative to replace the carbonated drinks in the refrigerator with healthier drinks that are better for your body.
I thought. “
“What do you think?”
Lin Mo’s eyes were terrifyingly calm.
He walked slowly, step by step, to Hayasaka Ai’s front.
He is a head taller than Hayasaka Ai.
At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, and stared at Hayasaka Ai’s delicate face, which had lost all color due to fear, with his bottomless, dark eyes.
An invisible, suffocating feeling of oppression emanated from him.
That was neither murderous intent nor coercion.
That is a kind of pure “weight” that belongs to “existence” itself.
It was like a black hole, staring at a shivering, tiny rabbit at close range.
Hayasaka Ai felt that her soul was being crushed by this “weight” and she was almost unable to breathe.
She couldn’t even utter a word of defense.
She knew that any explanation would be pale in the face of absolute “unhappiness”.
Kaguya, Yukino, Esdeath and Mai didn’t even dare to breathe.
They wanted to step forward and beg for mercy, but their bodies seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
For the first time, they felt so clearly how terrible this boy was when he was “unhappy”.
It felt as if the entire rules of the universe were beginning to become disordered and collapse because of his displeasure.
The countdown on the system panel is less than one minute.
Carbonated beverages around the world are about to meet their end.
Just when everyone thought that an irreversible disaster was about to happen.
Lin Mo suddenly stretched out his hand.
His fingers gently lifted Hayasaka Ai’s chin, which was lowered in fear, and forced her to look at him.
“Look up.”
His voice was still calm, but it carried an unquestionable command.
Hayasaka Ai was forced to raise her head and look into those abyss-like black eyes that were so close to her.
Her eyes were filled with despair.
However, what Lin Mo said next stunned everyone.
“next time,”
He said, his tone still straightforward without any emotion.
“Change it to zero degree.”
“ah?”
Hayasaka Ai, and the four women behind her, all uttered meaningless, confused monosyllables.
Zero degrees?
Coke Zero?
That’s it?
Loud thunder but little rain?
No, these are not even raindrops, at most they are… a few drops of water dripped from the air conditioner?
【Alarm cleared.】
[The emotional state of the ‘First Cause’ has returned to the ‘calm’ range. ]【Comfort level: 60% (passing). 】
[C-level disaster ‘Global carbonated beverage disappearance event’ has been cancelled. ]The blood-red color on the system panel faded instantly and turned back to green, which represents safety.
Everyone felt like they had been kicked back from the gates of hell.
The feeling of exhaustion after surviving the disaster made them almost unable to stand.
“Yes, Master Lin Mo.”
Hayasaka Ai used all her strength to say this.
“I’ll get it ready for you right away. Coke Zero.”
She rushed to the kitchen almost as if escaping.
Lin Mo, as if he had done something insignificant, turned around, walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up the remote control, and prepared to continue watching his cat and mouse.
The living room fell into an eerie, post-disaster silence.
Kaguya, Yukino, Esdeath and Mai looked at each other, and saw an indescribable, absurd expression in each other’s eyes.
It seemed like they had just been “tricked” by this man once again.
In other words, they once again used their own “imagination” to elevate a trivial matter to the level of “the survival of the universe.”
Just at this moment.
The doorbell rang again, at a very inopportune moment.
This time, everyone’s first reaction was no longer nervousness.
But numbness.
Destroy it, quickly, I’m tired.
Kaguya weakly turned on the surveillance camera at the door.
A figure that they absolutely did not want to see appeared on the screen.
It’s Loki.
He was still that smiling, harmless gentleman.
In his hand, he was holding an ordinary-looking supermarket plastic bag.
There were several cans of Coca-Cola in the bag.
Still original flavor.
“Good afternoon, my dear classmates.”
Loki’s voice came through the access control system clearly, with his unique, cynical tone.
“I just passed by the supermarket and saw that there was a special offer on Coke, so I took the opportunity to bring back a few cans for Lin Mo from our class.”
“After all, as his life mentor, it is my responsibility to care about my classmates’ ‘little’ hobbies.”
As he spoke, he gave a meaningful smile to the surveillance camera, as if he knew everything.
Inside the apartment, six guardians were looking at the evil god smiling like a fox on the surveillance screen.
Their faces instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot.
This bastard!
He definitely did it on purpose!
He must have known that Lin Mo likes to drink Coke!
He must have known that Hayasaka Ai had replaced Coke with a health drink!
He might even have been the one who planned the “Coke crisis” just now!
He just wanted to see them panic!
He just wanted to see them struggling madly on the brink of despair!
He just wanted to see them make a fool of themselves!
This despicable, evil, damnable evil god!
“Let him…in.”
Kaguya gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
She knew that they now had no reason to reject this “student-caring” and “responsible” chairman.
Hayasaka Ai, resigned herself to her fate, pressed the door-opening button.
Loki, carrying those cans of Coke filled with “malice”, smiled and walked into the living room with a strange atmosphere which had just experienced a “Coke storm”.
His eyes swept across the six faces with “MMP” written all over them and forced smiles.
Finally, it fell on Lin Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, and whose expression had eased a little because he finally had a Coke to drink.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a more pleasant smile full of “planning knowledge”.
“Student Lin Mo, it seems that your ‘campus life’ is more ‘colorful’ than I imagined.”
He said meaningfully.
Then, he gently placed the Coke in his hand on the coffee table in front of Lin Mo.
One can, two cans, three cans
No more, no less, exactly six cans.
Each can was like a loud slap in the face, hitting the six guardians hard.
“Then, as your life mentor, I look forward to you bringing me more and more ‘interesting’ surprises next time.”
After Loki finished speaking, he gracefully performed an impeccable gentleman’s salute to Lin Mo and the six guardians with sullen faces.
Then he turned around, smiled with satisfaction, and walked away leisurely.
Leaving in the living room, six women were trembling slightly with anger and humiliation.
And a cosmic bug where I finally had original Coke to drink, and my mood improved a little, but I was completely unaware of it.
Chapter 36: The Evil God’s “Gift” and the Undercurrent of Lunch (Old Version)
Loki’s “Coke consolation” incident, which seemed to be “concern for students” but was actually full of malicious interest, was like a red-hot probe, severely stirring the already tense nerves of the six guardians.
For the first time, they realized so clearly that this evil god was much more difficult to deal with than any enemy they had encountered before.
He is not like TYPE-MOON, who can fight with absolute strength.
He is not like those extra-dimensional beings that try to invade, who can be expelled with clear rules and means.
Loki, he is like an all-pervasive, highly intelligent virus.
He won’t attack you directly, he will just lurk around you, using the most clever and “reasonable” way.
To magnify the tiniest cracks in your heart, to sow discord between you and your companions, to trigger those trivial “daily conflicts” that you normally don’t care about.
Then, he will hide behind the scenes, smiling, and enjoying the chaotic and embarrassing “drama” that causes you to be in trouble.
It is a mental, constant, and almost defenseless torture.
“We can’t be passive like this any longer.”
When Loki left with a victorious smile, Kaguya Shinomiya was the first to break the silence in the living room.
Her face was covered with a layer of cold, Noh-mask-like calmness, but her crimson eyes were burning with an unprecedented fire ignited by extreme humiliation and anger.
“This Loki has already treated us as puppets for his own amusement. If we don’t take the initiative to attack.
He will only play with her until Lin Mojun’s patience is completely exhausted.”
“Take the initiative?” Yukinoshita Yukino’s brows slightly frowned, “But how to attack? He is now the chairman and a ‘life mentor’.
Any ‘disrespectful’ behavior on our part towards him could become an excuse for him to attack us in return, and could even directly affect Lin Mojun’s satisfaction with the campus.”
This is a vicious cycle.
Their enemies hold the power to interpret the “rules”.
“Humph, if we can’t attack him directly,”
A trace of cold murderous intent flashed across Esdeath’s eyes, “Then find a way to remove him from the position of ‘Chairman’.
An evil god who has lost his power is nothing more than a slightly stronger wild dog.”
“Easier said than done.”
Sakurajima Mai smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“You may not understand how much power the position of ‘chairman’ has in a private school.
What’s more, this Loki obviously did not get to the top through normal means.
Behind him, there is probably a force from ‘above’ supporting him that we cannot imagine.”
“above?”
Kaguya caught this word keenly.
Mai’s expression also became somewhat solemn.
“I used some of my connections in the entertainment industry to investigate Loki’s background.
All the information about how he became the chairman was completely erased by an irresistible force.
It was as if he appeared out of nowhere and, ‘of course,’ took that position.”
“It’s divine intervention.”
Ryougi Shiki gave a concise conclusion.
“He used his divine power to modify the ‘cognition’ of the relevant personnel. In their memories, Loki has always been the chairman of Sobu High School.”
This conclusion caused everyone to fall silent again.
Faced with this kind of cheating that is almost at the “rule level”, their mortal wisdom and means seem so powerless.
At this moment, Hayasaka Ai, the all-purpose maid who had been observing silently, suddenly spoke.
“My Lords, I have an idea that may not be very mature.”
Her voice attracted everyone’s attention.
“Since we cannot shake Chairman Loki’s position from the outside.
So, can we limit his power from the ‘inside’? “
“Inside?” Kaguya was a little confused.
“Yes.” Hayasaka Ai nodded, with wisdom shining in her eyes.
“According to the school charter of Sobu High School, although the chairman has the highest administrative power, his power is not completely unrestricted.
The student union and PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) have the right to “advise” or even “veto” the chairman’s decision in certain circumstances.
“What you mean is.” Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Hayasaka Ai showed a confident smile, “If we can control the student union, or have enough say in the PTA.
Then, we can effectively counter Chairman Rocky from the rules level when he tries to implement some ‘unreasonable’ policies aimed at ‘entertainment’. “
This proposal, like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminated everyone’s thoughts that had become dimmed by Loki’s tricks.
yes!
If you can’t beat them, join them!
No, if you can’t beat him, then become the one who can “control” him!
“President of the Student Union.”
The fighting spirit was rekindled in Kaguya’s eyes.
“The current president of Sobu High’s student council is Senpai Johwa, right? It seems her term is almost over.
The election for the next student union president will begin soon.”
“Leave the PTA to me.”
Yukino immediately chimed in.
“My mother has some influence in the education community in Chiba Prefecture.
I will try to get her to pay attention to the recent ‘personnel changes’ at Sobu High School.”
“Good idea!”
Sakurajima Mai also became excited, “If Kaguya becomes the student council president, Yukino’s mom will become the PTA president.
Then can’t we just turn that evil god chairman into a mascot?”
“Humph, let’s see how arrogant he can be when the time comes.”
Esdeath also showed a cruel smile.
Only Ryougi Shiki still had that calm expression.
She just gave a light reminder.
“Don’t forget, your opponent is an evil god who has lived for countless thousands of years and enjoys playing with people’s hearts.
Will he let you succeed so easily?”
Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone’s overly optimistic spirit.
Will Loki sit back and watch them erode his power step by step?
The answer is no.
Just as they were formulating their “counterattack plan”.
In the classroom of Class J, Grade 2.
Loki, the newly appointed “life mentor”, was smiling as he looked at the ordinary students in front of him whose impression of him had slightly improved because of his “Gift of Coca-Cola”.
“Well, classmates.”
He spoke slowly in a voice full of allure.
“To celebrate my ‘fateful encounter’ with you all, I decided to do this in my own name.
We held a small, surprise ‘lunchtime social’ for our second-year J class.”
“Lunch social?”
The students were all stunned.
“That’s right.” Loki snapped his fingers.
The next second, several tall men dressed in high-end restaurant waiter uniforms walked into the classroom, pushing several silver food carts that exuded tempting aromas.
On the dining car, there is a wide variety of top-notch dishes that would put any five-star hotel to shame.
Australian Wagyu, French blue lobster, Alaskan king crab, Italian white truffle…
There are even bottles of Burgundy red wine with a mellow aroma and a long history.
“These are the little ‘greeting gifts’ I prepared for you all.”
Loki smiled and made a “please” gesture.
“I hope everyone can enjoy the food, talk about their ideals and enhance friendship during this small lunch.”
The students all cheered.
When have they ever seen such a “people-friendly” and “generous” chairman?
For a moment, the classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Only Lin Mo was still lying on the table, showing no interest in all this.
All he wants to know now is whether the cafeteria will increase the quantity of fried noodles and bread without raising the price at noon today.
When Kaguya and the other six learned the news, it was already lunch time.
They looked at the lively “lunch social” scene in the second-year J class classroom, which was comparable to a top-notch buffet.
He looked again at the “healthy bento” in his hand, which was carefully prepared by Hayasaka Ai, and was nutritionally balanced but tasteless.
Their expressions all became a little subtle.
“What on earth does this Loki want to do?”
Kaguya’s brows were tightly furrowed.
She didn’t believe that this evil god would be so kind as to simply treat students to a meal.
There must be something fishy going on here.
“He’s dividing us.”
Yukino pointed out the core of the problem.
“He used delicious food and a ‘people-friendly’ attitude to win over other students in the class. Let us.
There will be a “gap” between us and the ordinary students. In this way, the lie of the “sociological experiment” we made up in the life guidance room will be broken. “
“Moreover,” Sakurajima Mai added, “he is also deliberately creating the illusion that ‘only Lin Mo-jun is isolated.’
Look, all the delicious food is placed in the center of the classroom, only the area around Lin Mojun’s seat is empty.
This will make Lin Mojun subconsciously have the illusion that we, the “companions” who “did not attend the social gathering,” are the “one and the same.”
“What a sinister plan!” Esdeath gritted her teeth.
This evil god actually used their “protective behavior” to alienate the relationship between them and Lin Mo!
“What should we do now? Should we go and join in?”
Mai was a little hesitant.
“No!” Kaguya and Yukino rejected the idea almost in unison.
“Once we go there, it will be exactly what he wants. He will definitely find a way to embarrass us in front of those ordinary students, or force us to reveal our identities.”
“Then are we just going to watch him use this method to reduce Lin Mojun’s trust in us?”
Mai was somewhat unwilling.
Just when they were in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki took out the “failed cake” from her pocket, which she had gnawed until only a small piece was left. The piece was black and tasted indescribable.
She walked silently to Lin Mo’s seat.
Place the cake gently on the corner of Lin Mo’s table.
Then, turn around and leave.
Lin Mo seemed to smell a strange smell, a mixture of burnt smell and some unknown spice.
He raised his head from his arms and looked at the black, unidentified object at the corner of the table in a daze.
He hesitated.
Then he reached out, picked up a small piece, and put it in his mouth.
His expression froze.
Chapter 37: The Taste of the Cake and the Chairman’s “Surprise” (Old Version)
It is a feeling that cannot be described in any words.
It’s like soaking a whole piece of activated carbon in industrial waste for three days and three nights.
It was then coated with a layer of expired, bitter dark chocolate, and finally, sprinkled with a handful of unknown, spicy and pungent spice powder.
It tastes bitter, astringent, numb and spicy.
There was also a faint smell of sulfur, as if it was wafting from the depths of hell, of despair.
Lin Mo’s face, which had never changed and showed no interest in anything, changed the moment he put the “cake” into his mouth.
For the first time, there was a clear, violent “distortion” that could not be managed with expression.
His eyebrows were twisted into a strange “Chuan” shape.
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
His bottomless black eyes seemed to be able to swallow all light.
Because of this sudden impact, which could be described as a “taste nuclear explosion”, his eyes widened slightly.
He was almost about to spit out what was in his mouth.
But in the end, he still relied on his strong willpower that was comparable to the laws of the universe to do it.
He swallowed the mouthful of “dark matter” filled with “despair” and “chaos”.
Then he picked up the cup of light-flavored sencha brewed by Yukinoshita Yukino on the table and drank it suddenly.
He took a big gulp, trying to dilute the indescribable taste in his mouth that could be described as “biochemical weapon” level.
The whole process happened in a flash.
But in the classroom, all the students who were enjoying the top-notch food and talking loudly did so subconsciously.
Lin Mo’s sudden and abnormal behavior attracted everyone’s attention.
They saw Lin Mo, the classmate who always seemed indifferent to everything and seemed to live in another dimension.
At this moment, he was covering his mouth, his face turned blue, and there was even a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
What’s wrong with him?
Have a stomachache?
Or was he actually very “unsatisfied” with the delicious food brought by the chairman?
For a moment, the lively atmosphere in the classroom dropped several degrees.
Rocky, who was standing beside the podium, smiling and enjoying the “lunch party” directed by him personally, saw Lin Mo’s “distressed” expression.
His green eyes, which were sparkling with cunning light, suddenly lit up.
interesting!
So interesting!
This Lin Mo is indeed a perfect “toy” full of “surprises”!
He actually had such a strong reaction to a certain “taste”!
This was simply the most exciting “new discovery” he had ever encountered in his long and boring career as an evil god!
Almost immediately, he developed a strong interest in the black unidentified object that made Lin Mo “feel so miserable”.
“Oh? Classmate Lin Mo, it seems that you have some ‘special’ feelings about today’s lunch?”
Loki had a perfect smile on his face, full of “concern” and “curiosity”, and walked slowly to Lin Mo’s seat.
His eyes fell on the black “cake” on the corner of Lin Mo’s table, of which only a small piece had been eaten.
“What is this? Is this the ‘love lunch box’ that Lin Mo brought himself? It looks like it has a very unique shape.”
He commented in a tone full of appreciation.
Then, he made a move that no one expected.
He stretched out his hand, ignoring the strange smell emanating from the cake, which was enough to make an ordinary person faint on the spot.
She picked up a small piece gracefully, and then, with an expression full of exploratory spirit and the courage to try new things, she put it into her mouth.
The smile on Loki’s face froze.
His green eyes, which always sparkled with cunning and playfulness, suddenly widened to the limit.
His pupils shrank violently due to extreme shock and disbelief, turning into a tiny, dark dot.
He felt his tongue, his taste buds, his entire mouth, and even his soul.
They are all being frantically eroded, decomposed, and obliterated by a pure “conceptual poison” that cannot be understood by any laws of the known universe and is full of “end” and “nothingness”!
This is not food at all!
This is a mixture of fragments of the “origin”, the will of “chaos”, and the despair of “absolute zero”, which is enough to “kill” gods…
The ultimate poison!
“belch!”
Loki, the evil god who has lived for countless tens of thousands of years, played tricks on countless gods and mortals, and even triggered the “Twilight of the Gods”.
For the first time, because of a “taste”, I burped loudly, which was full of the meaning of “divine collapse”.
In an instant, his face turned paler than the moon in the sky.
His body shook uncontrollably for a few times and he almost fell to his knees.
At this moment, his powerful divine power as that of the evil god actually showed an extremely weak but real “dissipation” phenomenon!
In the classroom, all the students stared in amazement at their elegant and omnipotent new chairman.
At this moment, he actually revealed this miserable expression as if his soul had left his body because he took a bite of Lin Mo’s “love lunch box”.
What kind of magical plot is this?
Could it be that Lin Mo is actually an ultimate food god hiding among the people who punishes evil with “dark cuisine”?
When Kaguya, Yukino and the others saw this scene.
They were stunned at first.
Immediately, an indescribable complex emotion surged in my heart, a mixture of “shock”, “absurdity” and a hint of “schadenfreude”.
They never expected it.
Ryougi Shiki’s failed cake that was full of the “breath of death” and that even they didn’t dare to try easily.
Surprisingly, it would cause such “considerable” damage to the evil god Loki!
This is simply a miracle of fighting poison with poison and turning negative into positive!
[Warning! Detected ‘out-of-specification’ threat ‘Loki”s’ power core, slightly corroded by unknown ‘conceptual toxin’! ][Its ‘control’ and ‘interference’ over this world are slowly decreasing at a rate of 0.1%/second! ][The difficulty of the current ‘Evil God’s Gaze’ mission has been reduced by 5%! ]The constantly flashing, delightful prompts on the system panel made them almost laugh out loud.
It turns out that logic, wisdom, and force are all useless against this kind of “old silver coin”.
The most effective one is actually Ryougi Shiki’s Dark Cuisine!
At this moment, Loki finally recovered from the “soul-shattering” taste shock.
He looked at Lin Mo, then at the “cake” on the corner of the table that still exuded an ominous aura.
His eyes changed.
It is no longer the playfulness and jokes of the past.
It is a look that is deeper, more dignified, and more excited!
It’s like a veteran gourmet discovers an unprecedented “ultimate ingredient” in an inconspicuous roadside stall that is enough to overturn all his knowledge of food!
He struggled to squeeze out these two words from between his teeth.
Then, he did something that made everyone, including Kaguya and the others, drop their jaws again.
He reached out and picked up the remaining black “cake” on the corner of the table carefully, as if it were a rare treasure.
Then, he gave Lin Mo a smile that was more “sincere” and more “enthusiastic” than any other time before.
“Student Lin Mo, can I take this ‘artwork’ back and ‘study’ it carefully?”
He asked, his tone full of desire and spirit of exploration for the “unknown”.
Lin Mo took a look at the “cake” that almost killed him on the spot, and then looked at Loki’s face that was twitching slightly because he was trying hard to suppress the “soul shock”.
He nodded expressionlessly.
“Thank you so much!”
Loki placed the masterpiece of the “God of Dark Cuisine” carefully into a storage bag made of space power that he carried with him, as if it were a treasure.
Then he cleared his throat, and his face regained the dignity and composure that a chairman should have, as if everything was under control.
It was as if the person who almost died on the spot because of a piece of cake was not him.
“Ahem, well, classmates, today’s ‘lunchtime social’ is over.”
He announced, his tone however, less frivolous than before, and more…reverent.
“I hope everyone had a pleasant lunch full of surprises.”
“Please continue to work hard in the afternoon classes.”
After saying this, he left the classroom of Class J, Grade 2, with slightly unsteady steps, amid the “confused” and “worried” gazes of a group of school directors.
He needed to return to his “God’s Realm” immediately and carefully study the terrifying “Eastern Secret Treasure” that could “subvert the soul” of the evil god.
In the classroom, there was only a group of poor ordinary students whose brains were in complete confusion and breakdown because of the overly bizarre plot that happened in just one hour.
