Chapter 114: Kill x Love Part 3
Who could possibly stand this?
That’s what I originally wanted to say.
But things escalated to this point, and I don’t even know what kind of expression to wear.
Looking at Lily Black, who was in despair as if facing the end of the world, and Xuan’er beside her, who was laughing uncontrollably, I felt a chill all over my body.
“Hahaha! Ahahaha!”
“Xiao Xunxun, you’re laughing way too much!”
“Because! Because it’s too funny! She suddenly shrunk so much– Ahahaha!”
“My, my… My chest, ahhhhhh!”
“It’s turned into a washboard! Flatter than mine… Pff pff pff!”
“Well, this is the natural result, you both signed Li Nai’s contract.
Lan’s chest had already shrunk before, and this time it completely disappeared.
Her curves were forcibly flattened into a straight line…
However, Lan had already anticipated such a result, so she wasn’t too surprised. The one who suffered a greater spiritual blow was the other person.
“I’m a washboard… I’m a washboard… I’m a washboard…”
Curling up in a corner with her knees hugged to her chest, she exuded a gloomy aura, as if mushrooms were about to grow on her.
The effect on Lily Black was particularly strong.
Although she was wearing my shirt now, her appearance just now was truly tragic to behold.
Uh, her succubus outfit, which was originally meant to accentuate her sexiness, suddenly became loose and baggy—it was almost a fatal blow.
Lily Black herself probably felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear on the spot, and in fact, she almost did turn into a shadow and vanish.
“An A-cup? I pass~”
“Xiao Xunxun! That’s too much! And aren’t you also flat-chested like us!”
“But I’m a loli~ Lolis are supposed to be flat-chested~”
“Ugh… I guess I should become a loli too! I just happened to get this youth-restoring pill from another loli earlier…”
Lan seemed to have made up her mind and brought the classic red and white capsule-shaped pill towards her mouth.
I stopped her directly.
With a kiss.
And then, from beneath her closed eyes, I snatched the pill from her hand.
After letting go of Lan, I lectured the determined-to-be-a-loli girl.
“Calm down, Lan. Taking this pill isn’t as simple as turning into a loli.”
“Huh? Juncheng, do you know what that is?”
“There’s probably nothing in this world that I don’t know now…”
“Huh?”
“It’s alright. Just don’t take that pill. It’s not a youth-restoring pill, nor an immortality pill, nor a life-stopping pill, nor a loli pill. It’s much more serious than ‘those’.
Perhaps everyone in the organization known as Eden doesn’t know what they’ve ingested, or what kind of absurd and malicious joke their so-called god has played.
I found it strange before, how could such an advanced scientific artifact like a youth-restoring pill be created with the scientific standards of this era?
As it turns out, it wasn’t actually created by ‘humans’.
I held the red and white pill between my fingers. In my eyes, I could clearly see the ingredients of this so-called ‘youth-restoring pill’.
Ingredients: None.
This was an empty capsule.
But it did contain something… something invisible and intangible.
“Juncheng, what exactly is this…?”
“This contains Destiny Power.”
Hearing my words, Lan and Xiao An let out exclamations.
“Destiny Power!!!” x2
That’s right. It was that familiar power.
As a Master of Fate, I was all too familiar with it.
And now, it had returned to me.
book.SFA
And it was probably stronger than in my prime.
“But isn’t Destiny Power supposed to be non-existent in this world?”
SF Light Novel
“It’s not non-existent, but rather, everyone’s Destiny Power is so small that it’s insufficient to defy the world’s causality. I’m actually targeting ‘abnormal existences’ like Masters of Fate who can collect Destiny Power.”
Because Masters of Fate, who were possessed by fate, were the only ones capable of collecting Destiny Power.
That was also why someone like me, who even surpassed the world and replaced it, was born.
“Besides, Destiny Power can’t be eliminated. It’s a kind of ‘tendency’ that humans and the world are born with. From the world’s perspective, it’s ‘causality’, and from the human perspective, it’s called ‘Destiny Power’. The name is different, but it’s the same thing. The world’s causality governs humans, and human Destiny Power changes the world. It’s a form of mutual generation and restraint, and its essence is karma.”
And this pill contained that karma.
I thought it was a product of advanced science, but it turned out to be supernatural? This thing…
“So, if I eat this pill, I can gain Destiny Power?”
“No. After all, Destiny Power is not something that can be transferred freely. Generally, the amount of Destiny Power a person has is determined from birth. Of course, this excludes existences like Masters of Fate.”
“Then what is this?” “The ‘effect’ is predetermined, and Lan, you should be quite familiar with it, as you’ve possessed similar abilities before.”
Lan, being intelligent, understood what I was referring to with a casual mention.
“Juncheng, are you saying it’s Retrograde Samsara?”
“That’s right. This is a ‘regression pill’ that fundamentally returns one to the beginning. Its effect isn’t just turning into a loli; it will continuously make one younger and smaller, ultimately returning to… nothingness.”
“What!”
If this pill were to spread, everyone in the world would disappear.
“Why? Why would Eden do such a thing? Xiao Xunxun, do you know?”
“I, I don’t know either…”
“The organization known as Eden probably doesn’t know about these things; they’re just being used. The person who actually orchestrated this reached an agreement with someone else, for the sake of ‘recreating’… Am I right, Saint?”
“Huh?”
book.SFA
I knew from the very beginning.

Lan and Xuan’er, who hadn’t realized someone was eavesdropping outside the hospital room, immediately turned their heads towards the door.
Seeing no movement, I called out again.
“Come in. It’s not good to keep eavesdropping at the door.”
Then, the door slowly opened.
Saint walked in with a guilty expression, her skirt soaked.
“Lord Juncheng, I…”
“It’s alright. I’m not blaming you. Thinking back now, it was strange that you ‘suddenly and coincidentally’ appeared near my home. You were guided here, weren’t you?”
Silence was consent. RESMI:
In fact, I had noticed it a long time ago but chose to ignore it.
Saint had been lingering in the empty lot near my house for quite some time until she was in danger and I rescued her.
Why was she staying there? Was there any necessity for it?
It was so cold, and even if she were homeless, she wouldn’t stay in such a place.
The answer… was waiting for me.
She was waiting in the closest place to see me.
Just waiting, waiting, until she could ‘encounter me’.
“Don’t feel guilty. You haven’t deceived me, nor have you intentionally concealed anything. You were probably not even told the full story; you were just a necessary piece. Because ‘Juncheng An encountering Saint’ is the first node for returning to the original trajectory.”
“…Yes. The god told me I would meet the master I should serve for a lifetime there…”
Who was this ‘god’ that Saint was referring to?
Constantly misleading me with ambiguous words, making me misunderstand and think it was the residual consciousness of Zi’ai…
But it wasn’t.
Then who was it? The answer was there from the beginning.
Who else could know about the previous world?
_book SFA
Lou Ling.
Only someone from a world of the same quality could… SF Light Novel
Only her.
I was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked Lan.
“….Tell me, Ling, was she involved in this battle for the principal wife?”
“Hm? That, no. She said she had accompanied you for a long time and had no interest in participating…”
“…As expected.”
“What’s wrong, Juncheng?”
She wasn’t uninterested; she had no reason to participate at all.
Truly terrifying…
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
So, we not only had a relationship of love but also of mutual destruction… Could my former pillow-person have wanted to kill me in her dreams?
What was the motive?
Actually, I knew it.
I just didn’t pay attention.
Or perhaps it was diluted.
Or perhaps it was covered up.
Some of you might still be confused.
Then let me repeat it one more time.
What Lou Ling had said in person.
The composition of Lou Ling.
“The injured ‘world’ could not maintain its original form and developed a gap. That ‘incomplete part’ had to transform into a new form, a ‘body to endure the pain of tearing’ and a ‘spirit born to adapt’, and…”
And what?
“A soul seeking revenge.”
Revenge.
So, she had never forgotten.
