Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

He could sense that the two sides were vying for power more and more fiercely, and he was the one being fought over.

Stay with me, and I will grant you a peaceful and untainted rest.

Don't leave your mother, don't abandon your mother, stay with your mother forever...

【Poor and pathetic person, let me cleanse you of all the filth and restore you to the pure state that humanity should have】

Don't let those foolish ideas influence you. Mom loves you. Only Mom can protect you. Only Mom can give you happiness...

Come on, come on, come on, come on, I will protect you, you poor little thing.

Come, accept Mommy. Mommy will protect you forever and give you eternal happiness...

……

My consciousness became even more blurred.

Even willpower that has undergone a qualitative change and gained tremendous enhancement is somewhat unable to resist at this moment.

Two inhuman forces were constantly washing over his mind. The feeling was so terrifying that Gao Hai felt he was hallucinating.

In that illusion, a voluptuous fox queen with long silver hair and a large tail tightly hugged Gao Hai's arm, gently pulled him, and licked his ear, telling him in a soft voice to follow her.

On the other side of this illusion, there were wriggling crimson flowers... no, they were no longer crimson flowers, they were... they were petite and adorable, yet full of gentleness and tolerance, like a mother, a lovely girl, who was also pulling at her at the same time.

A petite mother? Have I ever seen a petite mother? Hmm... Hongxia...?

The moment the thought crossed Gao Hai's mind, he saw the girl who was pulling him really turn into Hong Xia, and she was Hong Xia wearing nothing but an apron, pulling his hand and wrestling with the big fox on the other side, trying to pull Gao Hai over.

Hey?

No, wait, what's going on here?

Gao Hai's eyes widened even more.

Don't resist anymore, stay with me.

The silver-white fox spirit beside her called out gently.

Accept your mother... She will become the person you want to be... She will give you everything...

The crimson flowers and vines on the other side of her body transformed again, giving rise to even more different forms, all perfectly matching the postures of the girls that Takahashi fantasized about. Incidentally, all the girls that appeared from the crimson flowers were gentle, considerate, and slender girls under 155cm tall.

……

The forces vying for it are growing stronger.

These two forces, spreading through Gao Hai's body and soul, are almost tearing him in two.

Gao Hai: "..."

It must be admitted that, compared to the pain, what Gao Hai can feel now is an indescribable feeling of being stuck in the grass in Bengbu.

The fox queen's bizarre behavior compared to the second playthrough is one thing, but what's with this blood flower? Isn't this supposed to be a celestial being from outer space? Why did the art style suddenly change like this? Could it be because I mentioned liking loli mothers when I was making comments, so this thing actually transformed into a loli mother in my mind and tried to seduce me? Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?!

One minute I was witnessing a gruesome, hellish scene of being torn apart and eaten alive, and the next I was in this fight between two women and a man. This is so illogical! It doesn't make any sense at all! Could it be that some godlike, otaku-cursing power in this instance has forcibly altered the Fox Queen and Blood Flower?

Tear—pull—

Gao Hai's body has begun to tear apart from the middle.

Although the scene he perceived was incredibly bizarre and grotesque, the fact that he was being torn apart alive remained unchanged. If he didn't do something quickly, he was certain that he would truly be ripped apart here, a complete tear from body to mind, truly transforming from a whole person into a split individual with two personalities.

Gao Hai could never accept the idea of ​​going from one person to two. However, both the Fox Queen and the Blood Flower were currently displaying power that he simply couldn't contend with. With his own strength, no matter how much Gao Hai struggled, he couldn't escape either of them, and that would…

In that case... let's just add some more ingredients!

"Mountain God, save me!!!"

Then, in the next instant, he suddenly concentrated his mind, unleashed the power of the berserk blessing, and forcibly broke free from the brief moment of high seas, letting out a deafening roar.

Almost the instant he spoke, a third, inhumanly powerful force began to manifest here.

Chapter 75: It's decided, you will be the new Alice!

In that instant, the concept of time seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Then, perhaps in the blink of an eye, with a breath, a heartbeat, or a blink of an eye, Gao Hai regained consciousness, forcefully reclaiming himself amidst the tangled and oscillating forces, and regaining his ability to perceive the current situation.

I can feel three distinct forces spreading through my body.

It belongs to the Fox Queen, warm and soft, as if being tightly embraced by a broad chest.

It was a soft and delicate sensation, like being gently caressed all over, that came from the blood-red flower.

And finally, the stiff, cold, lifeless, mechanical aura belonging to the mountain god of Little Black Mountain was like a fishbone stuck in your throat when swallowing fish meat. Neither drinking water nor vomiting could help. You could only endure the extremely uncomfortable feeling of a foreign object in your throat.

"Cough cough...uh...uh cough..."

Gao Hai regained consciousness.

From his half-awake, half-asleep state, Gao Hai was finally able to break free and regain consciousness thanks to the interference of a third force.

Looking around, Gao Hai was finally able to confirm his current situation.

The blood-red flowers have already bloomed.

Within this small ancestral hall, twisted blood flowers and vines grew from the center of his parasitized hand, occupying half of the hall's space.

However, unlike the blood flowers I saw in my second playthrough, the blood flower vines this time were noticeably darker in color, leaning more towards a blackish-red than the previous deep red, like blood that was about to dry and congeal.

These blood flowers have a very low level of contamination.

Gao Hai immediately recognized the underlying cause and effect beneath the surface color difference.

Some force is absorbing the power of the Blood Flower, gradually reducing its polluting nature and rendering it harmless. This force is actually inferior to the Blood Flower in terms of rank, but it seems that because the two forces have coexisted for a long time, this unknown force can easily find the Blood Flower's weaknesses, thereby continuously absorbing its power and rendering it unable to resist.

No, it wasn't some unknown force.

Gao Hai's gaze shifted to the other side, to the woman who had reached out and hugged him, her long silver hair wrapped around him, and her huge, furry tail entwined around him.

Fox Queen.

This inhuman being, once worshipped by the Liu family in the village, was now tightly embracing Gao Hai.

She's now much larger than she was in the second playthrough, almost three meters tall. Gao Hai, who's 1.8 meters tall, looks like a child in her arms; he has absolutely no chance to break free.

At this moment, most of the parts where Gao Hai's skin and the Fox Queen's skin were in contact had merged together, and the Fox Queen's own power was transmitted to Gao Hai's body through this fused flesh and blood, gradually clearing away the power of the blood-colored flower within Gao Hai's body.

It seems like it might actually work...

If Gao Hai does nothing and lets these two forces fight it out, it's certain that the Fox Queen's power will completely eliminate the Blood Flower parasite within him. Even though the Fox Queen's power should be lower than the Blood Flower's in terms of pure rank, the Blood Flower is currently in a semi-sealed state, greatly reducing its power. Furthermore, the Fox Queen's power has a certain degree of special attack against the Blood Flower, making it extremely effective. Therefore, even if the Blood Flower is provoked and retaliates fiercely, it will inevitably be gradually devoured by the Fox Queen's power.

After all, the earth can always embrace everything.

"It will be over soon, it will be over soon. All your suffering will be ended, you poor child."

The Fox Queen's gentle voice still echoed in my ears.

But this can't go on.

Even knowing that the other party was helping him, Gao Hai couldn't let the current situation continue.

Crunch—crunch crunch—

Blood-red vines writhed continuously within his body.

The pale flower transformed into a human form, resembling Ijichi Nijika, another member of the End Band to which Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo belonged, whom Takami had once seen before. It appeared beside Takami and reached out to hug him.

Mom... is here...

Stay with Mom... stay here...

Don't abandon your mother... Don't abandon your mother again...

The whispers of the Blood Flower echoed in my ears.

The resistance brought about by the Fox Queen's devouring was extremely fierce. Although the Blood Flower should still be in a semi-sealed state, its power has now fully emerged in Gao Hai's body. Even the Blood Flower's own will has become active, constantly trying to take Gao Hai back from the Fox Queen's hands.

The brain is trembling.

The current scene might seem quite appealing, since the crimson flower has indeed transformed into a loli mother, just as Gao Hai had said before, and in an alluring pose wearing only an apron. It's safe to say that her charm level is completely maxed out.

But beneath the seemingly beautiful surface, the truth is that Gao Hai is intensely enduring a conflict between two deities. And even if the Fox Queen is ultimately able to devour the power of the Blood Flower, Gao Hai himself will not be able to withstand the process.

Regardless of who wins, Gao Hai is certain to die.

Although I really didn't want to accept this result, as the weakest person present, this was the cruel reality.

Therefore, Gao Hai must not allow the current situation to continue.

hum-

A third force has already lingered in this small ancestral hall.

The Mountain God of Xiaoheishan.

One of the two confirmed native gods in the [Infant Cry Village] instance, and also the only confirmed god whose self-awareness has disappeared and who is officially dead. He sealed the power of the Crimson Flower; it can be said that without the Mountain God, human civilization would have had no possibility of development. While it's unclear just how powerful the Mountain God was thousands of years ago, capable of sealing the Crimson Flower from the stars, this god has effectively ceased to exist as a price, and what remains in the instance is merely a mechanical response program.

Even though it is a dead program, it is still a god, a powerful being whose strength far surpasses that of a Red Moon-level core obsession, and is incomparable to any monster.

Now that Gao Hai has gained the qualification to communicate with the mountain god, after he struggled and cried for help, the power of this deity was also projected into the shrine, bringing a new variable to the originally antagonistic relationship between the Fox Queen and the Blood Flower.

hum-

Consciousness is gradually returning.

Gao Hai could feel that the power of the mountain god was gradually responding to him and protecting his spirit.

His previously precarious consciousness stabilized once again, allowing Gao Hai to catch his breath and stop having to be completely focused on fighting the Fox Queen and Blood Flower's babbling. He was now able to observe his surroundings more carefully.

This feeling... is really complicated. The mountain god that I casually killed in my first playthrough has now become my lifeline.

However, there's no point in dwelling on this; let's think about what to do next.

With this in mind, Gao Hai carefully observed the entire ancestral hall and finally confirmed a fact.

Hayasaka is not here.

Although the other person was following him, they did not follow him inside the ancestral hall.

The mental link had been broken, which was not surprising. Gao Hai had mentioned this before the operation began, saying that if anything unexpected happened to him, everyone should break their mental link with him immediately.
