Chapter 14.41 Yu Hui and Expansion
There were no unusual phenomena; it just felt like Senior Lanhua awkwardly shouted a line that sounded cool but was actually chuunibyo.
However, I knew something would definitely happen, or rather, ‘had’ already happened!
I held Little Master Juncheng in my arms, and An Xinran shared the same premonition. She looked at Senior Lanhua vigilantly and shouted.
“……What did you do?!”
“Ho ho ho, [Calamity from the Sky]! This ability is interesting. It’s a range-based ability, unlike the directional ability of Calamity from the Mouth, where [Can specify a type of event to happen at a specified location]~”
A range-based ability?
As far as I knew, Lord Juncheng’s Calamity from the Mouth could change future events. It was an ability that could influence the ‘future’, making things develop in a bad direction more effectively. Therefore, it was mostly used to command a single person. Of course, it could also be used to command multiple people, but only if they could all ‘hear’ Lord Juncheng’s command.
This range was actually quite wide because Lord Juncheng could also use his Spiritual Power to make others say what he wanted them to say, so anyone within his sight could be commanded.
But Senior Lanhua said that the Calamity from the Sky she just activated was a range-based ability.
“This is an enhanced version of Calamity from the Mouth. Previously, Juncheng had difficulty creating large-scale events with Calamity from the Mouth, so he could mostly only command ‘people’. But Calamity from the Sky can directly command ‘the sky’. Large-scale events like [Rain], [Earthquake], [Nuclear Leak], and [Volcanic Eruption] will all happen at the specified location. Even if they are illogical, they will inevitably occur.”
“Hey! You’re still holding Brother’s hand!”
“Ah… haha~ No need to worry. My palm isn’t facing the sky, so it won’t activate.”
Was the activation condition that the palm must face the sky?
She intentionally revealed this information… Wait, she just activated her ability earlier. So, what exactly happened?!
“What did you just do?”
“Ho ho ho ho… If this were a real game, the chat window in the bottom left corner would definitely be popping up with notifications by now, like ‘So-and-so has joined the game’…”
Could she have summoned other Masters of Fate and F Witches as well?!
“I can tell you, since you’ll definitely find out later anyway. The event I specified was that [all anomalies related to Juncheng appear in this world. SF Light Novel.”
“What!” x2
Was this to completely disrupt the situation?!
It wasn’t specifying Masters of Fate and F Witches, but the enormous group of ‘Anomalies’!
Those anomalies in Lord Juncheng’s class, those ghosts and murderers, the people in the organization, the anomalies Lord Juncheng saw while working, and those dangerous anomalies that had already been forcibly contained….
Would they all appear here?!
What foolish thing did she do!
“You’re truly… insane!”
“Ho ho, isn’t it a game? If it’s a game, it’s too boring to just have a few of us playing, right? We are players, and we need more players. Of course, besides players, we also need ‘NPCs’, ‘fodder monsters’, ‘bosses’, and the like… Ho ho ho, so I let them all join!”
“You actually abused Brother’s Destiny Power!”
“This isn’t abuse, this is very meaningful. The final reward is ‘Juncheng himself’! Of course, we must hold a grand! magnificent! spectacular! super large-scale game!”
Senior Lanhua ecstatically hugged Lord Juncheng’s left hand, her face flushing with intoxication and a dazed smile.
She was like a hopelessly lost cultist, perhaps a core member of a pyramid scheme who had been completely brainwashed… Ah, right, she had long been Lord Juncheng’s devoted follower.
You truly see this as just a game! You don’t understand the true meaning of this war! You are truly insane!”
“It’s you who doesn’t understand, Younger Sister Xinran. Look, Junior Xue understands what I’m saying, ho ho ho…”
……! Little Bai, are you crazy too? This is not a joke! This is a war to decide ownership of Brother!”
No, although it’s not a joke, that’s not the point. The point is ‘this is a game held for Lord Juncheng’.
From this perspective, I think what Senior does is understandable.
After all, this is a game held for Lord Juncheng, so it’s necessary to go this far. Of course, I won’t let anyone else take Lord Juncheng. Senior Lanhua doing this is actually making us take it more seriously.
…Am I also a fanatic for thinking this way?
No, it’s only natural to think so. I’ve done nothing wrong.
After all, Lord Juncheng is the most important. Everything is for Lord Juncheng.
“Mmm, you two were actually being considerate of each other’s safety when you were fighting earlier…”
No, I definitely used my full strength, but I didn’t attack with the intention of ‘killing her’. But capturing alive is more difficult than killing.
“Too sweet… As for me, for Juncheng, I will kill you without hesitation.”
This woman is serious. That look in her eyes shows she could kill us without hesitation.
It was as if she ‘had done something similar before’.
This is necessary cruelty. To kill others…
No, this is not right.
We need to consider Lord Juncheng.
Killing other women would not make Lord Juncheng happy, nor would he pat me on the head and praise me.
Then this is not something we should do.
“No, not killing is the correct approach. You’re misleading us, bad woman.”
“Oh dear~ I’m not misleading you. I didn’t expect Junior Xue to understand so quickly. As expected of an old woman who has gone through nine Samsaras.”
Do you want to provoke me? Hmph, that’s useless.
“Then aren’t you even older, calling me Junior Xue? Senior Lanhua!”
Hearing my emphatic title, she laughed happily.
“Ho ho ho~ This is fun. A harem should be like this… That’s right, I won’t kill you either, because it would make Juncheng unhappy. In the end, we are all trying to please him, and we won’t do anything that would displease him.”
“Little Bingbing is the same, isn’t she? She also knows that killing us would displease Juncheng, so she didn’t crush us like ants. Even though she’s the ruler of this world and could easily do it. She even agreed to hold this silly game?”
Ji Lianbing, has that woman become so powerful?

No, it’s only natural that she would become so strong.
That’s the Destiny Power that devoured nine entire destinies! She even obtained fragments of the world and created such an ‘And space’.
“Wh… haven’t you discovered the secret of this world yet?”
“What are you talking about!”
An Xinran shouted impatiently and naturally walked towards us. The effect of the immobilization talisman had worn off, and she could stand up again.
“Remember what she was trying to do at first, and what she said later?”
Ji Lianbing?
At first, she wanted to strangle Lord Juncheng to death.
But what she said later was…
“I’ll give you a hint. She told Younger Sister Xinran, ‘In this world, Juncheng won’t die even if I kill him.’ Well, she hinted at it so clearly, and you still haven’t figured it out?”
“Could it be that….”
“That’s right, in this world, ‘there is no death’.”
“What!”
No death?
To avoid the outcome of dying… No, was the law of ‘death’ not set from the beginning?
“Souls are ‘forcibly locked’ onto the body, so even if they sustain fatal injuries, they can continue to act. It’s really something she would do. Even though she herself is a ‘Disaster of Death’, she created a paradoxical world where ‘death is not allowed’? Pfft… Ho ho ho, Little Bingbing, you are truly cute.”
After saying this, Senior Lanhua’s body slowly became blurry.
I realized something was wrong and struggled to support myself, running towards her… only to grasp at empty air.
My entire body was drenched because I ‘passed through her’.
Looking back, Senior Lanhua’s body was slowly melting away.
“This is… a clone!”
SF Light Novel
Senior Lanhua smiled mysteriously, inserted Lord Juncheng’s left hand into her own body, and finally melted into a puddle of liquid, disappearing.
“When was it! She was with me the whole time… Could it be that she was a clone from the very beginning!”
“Oh no, she took my left hand! With that left hand, she can use Lord Juncheng’s abilities at will!”
“Where did she go?!”
“Ah! Over there!”
At this moment, Little Master Juncheng in my arms seemed to notice something. He lifted his head from my chest and pointed in another direction.
It was the broadcasting building opposite. There was a large advertisement display board that had always been dark but suddenly lit up.
It was Senior Lanhua who appeared on it.
“Cough… Hmm~ Yo ho~ Can everyone hear me? ~”
She was still wearing a maid outfit and holding a microphone. Besides this billboard, the same video was likely being broadcast in other places, as her voice echoed throughout the entire city.
This woman’s mobility is terrifying! When did she hack all the network systems!
“To everyone who has been suddenly transported to this inner world, please do not panic. You have all been brought here to participate in a game~ The content of the game… ta-da! is to find these body parts~” A human body diagram appeared on the left, divided into seven parts, but she didn’t mention that the upper and lower body were respectively a baby and a child.
“And the reward that everyone cares about the most is… ‘one wish will be granted’! Anything can be granted~ I believe everyone has their own wishes… Believe it or not, no one can leave before the game ends~”
“So! Let me repeat! ‘Those who successfully gather all the body parts and reach the Central Clock Tower’ will be the winner!”
“And there is only ‘one rule for the game’! That is… in this world, ‘death is not allowed’. Any means can be used~”
The rules were similar to what we heard from the Head Maid before, but she added the new information she just told us.
“Fight, my girls!”
