Chapter 91: Subduing the Twin Calamities
“Of course, subjectively speaking, I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Really, don’t scare me.
You say that, but perhaps you’re not actually trying to scare me.
The signs when Xiao An awakened, along with faint impressions from one of my past lives, have me deeply convinced.
Xiao An is a god.
She is the true god representing the sun, Amaterasu, who transcends humanity and bestows divine punishment.
It’s just that because I raised her, in my heart, Xiao An is the same as Xinran, a member of my family whom I can trust without reservation.
“But after losing your powers and becoming so small, you have no dignity at all. You eat a lot of snacks and food, though… your stomach is so small, where does it all go?”
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo, if you can fit so much food, you can also fit bigger things, right? For example…”
“Shut up, Lan. If you’re going to make lewd jokes like that, then don’t speak human language.”
“Woof! Woof woof!”
You’ve decisively switched to barking like a dog. Do you really want to tell dirty jokes that badly?
Lan, you’re hopeless.
“Hmph, it’s all been converted into my energy. Just getting faith from you alone isn’t enough. Moreover, you have no reverence for me. I can only eat more to store and maintain my energy.
“If you had magic, or some other power, that would be fine too. But do you have it?”
“No…”
Strictly speaking, spiritual power isn’t a type of power, and I’ve never released spiritual energy. Unlike some old demon from Korea, I can’t use fancy moves like a ‘Divine Sense Flying Sword’. At best, I can only put pressure on others.
Lately, even that doesn’t work much. Most of the time, I can only use it in conjunction with Destiny Power.
Speaking of which, I suddenly can’t use Destiny Power anymore.
“Right, Xiao An, I suddenly realized I can’t use Destiny Power anymore.
Before, when I tried to command Xinran, “Calamity from the Mouth” failed. I thought Xinran was immune to it, but that wasn’t the case.
It’s just that I can’t use it anymore.

“Is that so? Try it again now.”
“…Lan, meow like a cat.”
“Meow? Meow~ Meow meow~ nya~”
“No, don’t actually do it! And you’re getting into it! Don’t rub against me… Forget it, I’ll command Xiao An instead. [Xiao An, throw all the snacks out.]”
“I’ll burn you.
You just said you wouldn’t do that, but now you’re going to burn me just for snacks? Am I less important than snacks to you! Don’t forget who bought those snacks. If the snacks are gone, they’re gone. But if the person who buys you snacks is burned, will there still be snacks?
Xiao An, that’s like killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
“Mmm, it seems you really can’t use it anymore. Serves you right.
“I’m saying… if I can’t use “Calamity from the Mouth,” then my safety is not guaranteed. Without Destiny Power, I’m just an ordinary person. If this were just a normal romance comedy where no one dies, I wouldn’t say anything. But it’s not! Besides, you both said you can’t completely let down your guard with Xinran, and the same goes for you. But even if you want me to be on guard, without Destiny Power, how can I protect myself? With Cosmic CQC?”
However, I never learned that kind of martial art. Suddenly realizing I’d reverted to being a helpless GAL protagonist, I panicked.
Can I survive the upcoming dangers relying only on Thought Acceleration and some techniques from gods?
Lan saw through my thoughts and gave me a thumbs-up, saying with an expression that required no further worry.
“Don’t worry, Juncheng! At least you’re not just “gentle” like a GAL protagonist anymore!
“Then what do I have left…”
If I don’t even have gentleness left, then I have nothing, don’t I?
“You still have ‘sadistic’ left~”
“You’d better keep barking.”

“Treating the honored F’ like a dog is probably a first in history… Generally, the status of an F’ is higher than that of a Master of Destiny. After all, if you can’t use Destiny Power, the Master of Destiny is just an ordinary person.
“So, why have I ended up like this? I’ve already established destiny links with three F’s.”
“Precisely because you’ve collected other destinies, they’re interfering with your original destiny, which is why you can’t use it anymore,” Xiao An said, raising one index finger as if explaining.
“For example, originally, all your Destiny Power belonged to ‘Calamity’, but later new factions were added. Neither side yields to the other. When the other party tries to use Destiny Power, you’ll suddenly pop up and say, ‘You’re not allowed to move! That’s mine!’ So, it becomes unusable by either side.”
“So? My destiny is impure?” What the heck, does it have territorial awareness?
“That’s right. You now have two Calamities and one Disaster. The calamities and disasters cannot coexist, so you’ve become unable to use Destiny Power.”
Come to think of it, “Calamity from the Mouth” could be used when facing Xinran at first, but later it became unusable. It must be because I was gradually influenced by the Wind Calamity.
“Uh, so it’s not that the more destinies you collect, the stronger you become?”
According to common tropes, the more you collect, the stronger you get. But it seems that’s not the case with destiny.
“But it’s different if you can complete the set of destinies. If the four Calamities are complete and form a cycle, the mutual interference will cease. So, the usual order is to ‘first find all your own F’s, then snatch others’ F’s to obtain the destiny you lack.’ However, your situation is special… very special.”
“Do you need to emphasize it that much…”
“Because although you haven’t established destiny links with everyone yet, you’ve already gathered all the natural and man-made disasters, right? Hmm… I really didn’t expect you to gather all the disasters. It’s incredibly inauspicious. It’s more inauspicious than walking into the thirteenth cemetery under a red moon at midnight, seeing a black cat on a tombstone, a black crow circling overhead, and your own name written on the tomb.
“That description is excessive. With so many death flags combined, even I would die.
“So, the fact that you’re not dead now is strange. I don’t understand how you can still be ‘completely alive.’ This is a miracle within a miracle. Could you be the reincarnation of some great demon? And you must have come close to destroying nations or the world several times, which is why even such destinies can’t defeat you.

“Feels like a supervillain.”
What the heck? Am I not the protagonist, but the villainous BOSS?

Could such a divine plot twist, more shocking than “I am your father,” possibly happen?
By the way, if I don’t have any villainous consciousness myself, can I really be considered a villain…?
“In short, even if you are a villain character, you are definitely in your most vulnerable ‘dormant period.’ Anyone can easily take your life right now, so you must establish destiny links as soon as possible. Start with me.”
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so surprised?”
“I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward.
“Hmph, I wasn’t doing it before because the three disasters weren’t complete, so it was meaningless. But now that it’s necessary, I won’t say anything more. Come on… cough, but I warn you, if you dare to use any disgusting methods, I’ll break your third leg and then burn it with regenerative fire, repeating this process a few times. What do you think?”
*Yikes…*
“I think it’s horrifying.”
You’re so vicious, Xiao An. Is it okay for you, a character with an Ioli image, to say such things? You’re not pure at all, not clean at all.
But it’s a little exciting. If it weren’t breaking, but stepping on, being stepped on by Xiao An’s small feet in white stockings would feel pretty good.
“Actually, I can roughly guess where the Destiny Mark is. It should be on your back… Hmm, you try it.”
Xiao An had already taken off her oversized T-shirt, which could be worn as a skirt, and pulled her long golden hair to the front, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white back to me.
“Then I’m coming.”
I placed my left hand on Xiao An’s back. Because she’s so petite, one palm could cover a large area.
At first, there was no sign. So I moved my hand. Unexpectedly, it actually appeared, like scratching a lottery ticket. A crimson-gold mark became increasingly distinct, looking like a pair of fiery wings, and my body even emitted a golden glow.
“In the end, destiny reflects one’s essence. My essence is this pair of heavenly flames that have accompanied me since birth.”
“Reflects essence… I see.
So, Xuan’er’s position is the ‘stomach’, and Xueqing’s is the throat. Because her throat was injured before, it was a kind of trigger for her, right?

Then what about Xinran? Is it the opposite side of the stomach, the liver? Does it mean “heart and liver treasure”?
—Looking at it this way, it’s not strange that my mark is on my tongue. After all, I solve problems with my mouth.
The light on Xiao An’s body slowly faded. When her form reappeared, I noticed that Xiao An had actually grown!
She still looked like a first-grader, but now she was about the same size as Xuan’er, around a fifth-grader!
Did her power recover?
“Mmm… it feels good. I didn’t expect to gain more power. Next is the Water Calamity. With three disasters complete, you’ll be able to use Destiny Power.
“Okay, Lan, come here.
“Woof woof!”
Lan crawled towards me on all fours like a happy little puppy, being incredibly seductive.
Come to think of it, foxes are also canids.
Although they are cunning, they become obedient after being tamed?
Well, Lan should be easier to handle. She’d be thrilled if I did something to her.
“Lan, what about you? You should have a general idea too, right?”
“Woof woof woof.”
“You’re allowed to speak human language.”
“Oh my, where could it be? I think here, here, and here, and here are all possible. Hoo hoo hoo hoo~”
I won’t elaborate on which parts she’s pointing to. In any case, they’re not suitable for children… Sure enough, Lan wants to do more than just this…
“Just shut up.”
Never mind, let’s try them one by one. I’ll indulge you this time.
The following process is cut. You can think of it as the process of petting your beloved dog, a thorough petting process from head to toe, inside and out.
Xiao An was very cooperative and put on VR glasses to play games. Well, from her perspective…
It’s like a lonely otaku, whose history of being single is as long as their age, is doing some incredibly dirty things alone, relying on their sky-high imagination.
It must look pathetic.
