"Woo--!" With the last fierce thrust, Wang Chong reached the deepest part and released everything. Kui covered her mouth and screamed as she reached the climax. She convulsed and tightened the spray gun that was still spraying, as if she wanted to squeeze out all the liquid.

"Ha...ha..." Aoi gasped, with physiological tears hanging from the corners of her eyes and a satisfied expression on her face.

"Congratulations, Aoi. Rin hasn't turned around yet. You've managed to avoid being discovered by the child." Wang Chong ruffled Aoi's hair and said with a smile, "There's still a lot of time left. I'll keep sneaking up on you two, so you better keep doing your best."

After saying that, Wang Chong flashed out of the classroom, leaving behind Aoi Tousaka who was leaning against the wall and slowly sitting down, still unable to recover for a long time.

In a room

"Oh my, the master seems to be having a lot of fun~" Admiring the scenes on the surveillance screen, Hei Ai Li also showed an intoxicating smile.

"It's just that the two poor ladies probably never thought that the master~ never wanted to let anyone decide the winner~ After all, he loves us all relatively equally. If we don't make any big mistakes, it's impossible for us to be sent to the 'cold palace' for a month. The master simply enjoys and bullies the two ladies who are trying hard to endure in order to compete for victory and not to reveal their true colors in front of the children." Hei Aili said with a smile, not knowing who she was explaining to.

"Hehe, no matter how hard you try to endure, Master will eventually make adjustments so that you can all reach the top the same number of times. Enjoy Master's favor today. This is something no one else can enjoy today... Well, it's a pity for these children. They have become just part of everyone's play today... Hmm? Oh?"

At this moment, Kuroi noticed something strange in one of the children's eyes. Sakura, who looked very well-behaved and quiet, kept glancing back and forth in the direction of Aoi and Irisviel, then scribbled something in her notebook.

"Oh my~ Could it be that the master has let some fish slip through the net? Was this kid able to see through it? That's impossible... With the master's power, changing visual cognition should not be a problem. It's probably an illusion. It must be that the appearance of these two guys is still too strange, so Sakura took note of it." Black Airi didn't care too much about this matter.

However, both Black Ai Li and Wang Chong had forgotten that Sakura... because of her imaginary number magic, had already been able to see a completely different world.

A few words to say (skip)

The first volume has finally come to a close. This is my second contracted work, and my first foray into the genre of anime. My personal evaluation is mixed, with many areas for improvement. I'm also grateful to all the readers who have supported me along the way. Your subscriptions, tokens, and votes are my greatest motivation.

It's been almost half a year since I started writing the book. The book and I share a birthday, so it holds a lot of commemorative significance for me. I've been mulling over it over and over again, fearing that some of the settings might be wrong or confusing. Sometimes I've complained in the subscription group and asked about the settings. After all, the author is pretty much half-retired from the game right now, so sometimes catching up on the plot is a real painstaking task (;?д`)ゞ.

Now let's talk about the plot first. My first point of self-criticism: It's watery. The Fourth War is nearly 400 chapters long, which is a bit too long. I've seen a lot of comments complaining about this. Regarding this, the author accepts the criticism without responding (ㄒoㄒ). And if we want to find out the reason, it's probably because of the following two reasons:

First, the author is too obsessed with the perfection and rationality of the setting, spending most of the time explaining why the protagonist does what he does and what his intentions are. He is deeply afraid that the plot holes he has dug will not be resolved well, or will not be understood by the readers.

But regarding these, in fact, most people come to read books for leisure. Sometimes readers will selectively forgive some small logical errors made by the author. As long as the readers like and feel comfortable reading, they will tolerate the author's flaws?(? ? ??).

As a reader, the author himself will selectively tolerate some seemingly ridiculous settings - for example, the Three Kingdoms era, which clearly loves and respects poetry, is set in a place where a Song Dynasty poem is plagiarized, earning praise from numerous literati. From a literary perspective, this setting is indeed flawed, but as long as the emotional appeal of the plagiarism plot is right, it is still enjoyable to read. Why continue to criticize the author for his mistakes?

At least as an author, I do tolerate this (~ ̄▽ ̄)~. Of course, everyone's personality is different, but generally speaking, if I can get the reader's attention, they will tolerate some minor flaws. After all, no one is perfect, and blindly pursuing perfection is putting the cart before the horse.

Second, the author wanted more. Perhaps it was greed at work (my wife, so much!), or perhaps he simply added too many settings, so what's supposedly just a four-way battle plot ended up dragging in a ton of characters. Ryougi Shiki, Aozaki Touko, Leticia, Aika Sajo, Elquet, Merlin, and so on, not to mention the slew of the protagonist's own servants. With so many characters, the story inevitably gets stretched out. You can't just include them and not give them a spotlight, right?

The connections and transitions between the characters flowed perfectly with the word count (not really). A little carelessness would have inexplicably stalled the plot. This chapter, oh wow!, hit the target. Consequently, it had to be postponed. This is entirely due to the author's own incompetence, who couldn't use concise language to connect the plot, resorting to lengthening the chapters to slowly transition (T^T).

So, regarding the water writing, the author can only say that it is constantly improving and optimizing. Ultimately, it is due to my own shortcomings and lack of ink, so I can only ask readers to bear with me (ㄒoㄒ). (Whispering: I hope it will improve starting from the second volume)

The second point of self-criticism: plot setting and conflict.

I've noticed that a lot of the plotting feels a bit forced, and some of the battles of wits feel a bit sluggish when I revisit them. It definitely dampens the experience ╮(╯﹏╰)╭. Not to mention, many plot devices don't really add much to the main storyline: the system shop, for example, is barely used, and some of the characters I've collected are now completely useless: Aika, Illya, Ryougi Shiki, etc...

All I can say about this is to read more good works and see how other authors handle it. Ultimately, I'm just short on experience... So, I'm sorry that you're meeting the growing me now, not the me who will reach my peak in the future... I also thank my readers for their tolerance and for accompanying me as I continue to grow.

That’s all for now for my self-criticism. If you have any suggestions for the author, you can leave them in this comment. The author may not necessarily reply, but I can guarantee that he will read them carefully.

Now, let me talk about something recent. An unpleasant incident occurred during the National Day holiday this month... Being plagiarized is a common occurrence in this industry; it's not uncommon. Normally, the plagiarized book is removed from the shelves, and the matter is dropped. However, out of revenge, someone reported the book and the book group. It's unclear if they're still active in the group, but because of this person, the outermost book groups are no longer able to release any bold resources.

I won't go into too much detail, and the author doesn't have the time to keep searching or fussing about it. After all, the author knows that the writing he's written...isn't even up to par. Perhaps this is just the bittersweet feeling of having to endure this life o(︶︿︶)o.

If you want to get any goodies, the group announcements are clearly written. Whether it's extra chapters or benefits, they are all placed in the full subscription group with set entry standards. I also know what most of the readers of this book like to read. In the future, I will also consider the proportion of plot and goodies, so that everyone can enjoy the above and the following at the same time (laughs)

Finally, the second volume's plot begins, as we prepare to enter Arknights to earn villain points. The author will also carefully consider how to fill in the gaps she's encountered in the second volume. For example, will characters like Illya and Aika find new roles? Of course, the most crucial aspect is crafting the plot's atmosphere, ensuring it's engaging and resonates with readers.

You need to be as naive as a yellow-haired person and treat your readers like your wife. You should constantly explore and develop their sensitive points. Once you have formed a habit of this, you will be able to win them over with one tug. Why should you be afraid of readers you can't pry away? (Righteous and confident) (What a wonderful metaphor)

Well, thank you all for your company in the second volume. (ゝω???)

Volume 2: This Land...

Chapter 1: The Village is Burning

"Ah...ah..."

The trembling white-haired Draco shed a final tear as she gazed at the fire burning in the village. This was a tragedy she had personally created, and it was also a symbol of the hatred in her heart that had taken root and sprouted completely.

Under the curse of her body, the hatred and darkness were like a rolling stone falling from a mountain, and once it started, there was no stopping. The tears were like the kindness that once remained in her heart, squeezed out of her body bit by bit.

There is no turning back. Once I identify with him, once I understand him, once I understand what kind of world I am on... I will eventually become him.

This was the tragic end of this magnificent act of righteousness on the snowy plains, and it would also become the origin and beginning of the next round of tragedy...

However, a spatial crack that appeared in front of a house began to cause ripples in the direction of this world.

……

"Tap..."

"Snow… and the surrounding flames? Could it be that I've parachuted into a snowy battlefield somewhere?" As Wang Chong stepped out of the space, a wave of heat whipped his hair. Wang Chong immediately looked around. The snow, the village, the flames, and the wailing sounds echoing everywhere made it hard not to think of a war zone.

After all, Wang Chong had already seen enough of these landscapes in the Middle East of the Type-Moon World.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Wang Chong finally noticed a white-haired woman in a military uniform, covered in blood, approaching like a zombie. It was obvious that the fire in this village was likely caused by this non-commissioned officer. The most striking thing about this woman was the pair of dragon-like horns on her head.

"No way... Tallulah?"

Dragon horns, white hair, military uniform... coupled with the current environment of snowy plains, flames, and villages, Wang Chong instantly realized who he was and what kind of awkward timeline he was in.

Meanwhile, the Black Snake, who had been steadily expanding Tallulah's dark side and gradually gaining control of her body, was in a very good mood. Its meticulous planning and understanding of human nature had already determined Tallulah's fate.

It could sense the resistance of Tallulah's remaining will, but that could no longer stop it. Now was the time to take over this body and unleash the true value of "Tallulah."

"Hmm, there's actually a living person? The clothes they're wearing... they look a bit Colombian. But why can't I find any ethnic characteristics in their appearance? Is they hiding it, or..."

But at this moment, the black snake felt a gaze and looked in the direction of the gaze, and found that there was still a living person in the village who had not been burned.

"You don't look like you're from this village. You look more like a merchant who came to Ursus to trade. But unfortunately, you will be Tallulah's sacrifice tonight."

The black snake controlled Tallulah's body. No matter how hard she struggled with her remaining will, she could only watch herself pick up the butcher knife and harvest the last surviving person in the village again.

The man, upon seeing the other man holding a knife, was terrified, his entire body trembling. He wanted to escape, but he was too frightened to move his legs. Black Snake noticed the other man's behavior and dispelled his vigilance about the identity of this sudden stranger.

"For the glory of Ursus, become the final sacrifice for my daughter's corruption." The black snake smiled and raised the sword in his hand. The Originium technique made it burn with blazing flames, and then he slashed the sword towards the man's neck.

"Chong-"

Then, Black Snake's smile froze, and the sound, which could not possibly come from a human body, echoed between the two of them. The man, who had been panicking, now had a playful expression.

"No, this is really too weak. Huh~"

Wang Chong tilted his head and blew a breath at the flaming sword, which wasn't even hot at all. The vaporization freezing method took effect, and the sword and the attached flames began to freeze into ice.

The black snake finally realized that the man before him was no ordinary merchant passing through. From its perspective, it knew that the other party was so powerful that Tallulah might not be able to defeat him. Seeing the icy aura begin to extend to her hand, the black snake immediately controlled Tallulah's body, discarded the longsword, and then retreated violently, trying to distance themselves from the opponent.

"boom!"

Black Snake felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as his surroundings rapidly advanced. Then, his back and the back of his head collided with the wall. The buzzing in his ears and the dizzying sensation made Black Snake feel extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for Black Snake's indomitable will and Tallulah's physical fitness, he would have been unconscious from the blow.

"Ha...ha...where on earth did such a being emerge from? I have records of the strongest people in the world in my mind. But none of them can match this person in front of me."

Black Snake had never imagined that at this crucial moment, when his plan to corrupt Tallulah was only one step away from success, such a sudden change would occur. If Tallulah died here for no apparent reason, wouldn't all his painstaking efforts be completely ruined?

Seeing the opponent gradually approaching, the black snake began to accumulate secretly with its own Originium skills, waiting for the opportunity to strike like a real poisonous snake.

"Sir... who are you?" The black snake was accumulating strength while silently hoping that the other party would come closer.

"Don't you think that before asking others, you should first tell them your name? Especially since you were the one who started it, and now you are lying on the ground like a defeated dog." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Me? Talulah... is just an ordinary infected person." Black Snake said bluntly.

"Infected? So it's true that you burned all the villagers here to death using your Originium skills?" Wang Chong crossed his arms and looked at the other person with a scrutinizing attitude.

"Is he standing up for those ordinary villagers?" Black Snake thought to himself, and then shouted with anger and hatred: "That's because they deserve to die!"

Then, Heihei began to recount the villagers' crimes, luring the infected into a warehouse, locking them up, and starving them to death. It was a vivid performance. If Wang Chong hadn't been familiar with the plot, he would have believed that the other party was burning the entire village out of righteous indignation, unable to suppress his anger.

"Now those men are dead, and my compatriots have been avenged. If you wish to take my life, to avenge the deaths of those women and children, then go ahead."

The black snake did its best to appear ready to die. It wasn't betting that the other party was a good person; it was simply standing up for the villagers and believing they would let it go after learning the whole story. It simply wanted to use this performance to make the other party think it was a bold and straightforward person. Only in this way, if the other party approached to kill it, it could launch a surprise attack. After all, who would be wary of a straightforward person?

"Hahaha, why should I avenge those people? Just like you said, didn't they deserve to die? It's a good thing they died." However, Wang Chong's smiling answer made the black snake murmur. It had no idea what the man in front of it was thinking.

A kind and righteous person? Then why didn't he feel the same indignation as himself, but instead smiled and gloated over the misfortune?

"So, sir, do you mean to give me a way out?" asked the black snake.

"Give you a chance to live? Did you do something wrong?" Wang Chong pointed at his neck and asked, "What do you think the price of this blow will be?"

"I see, he's just a bad-tempered and self-centered guy." After understanding the other person's character, Black Snake breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of person, as long as you cater to his preferences and satisfy his desires, will be a very easy-to-control type of person.

Moreover, Black Snake also heard the other party's hidden meaning. Asking what price he would have to pay meant that there was still room for negotiation and he was not going to kill him directly.

"My answer is my life. But if you wanted it, you would have taken it away long ago and would not have wasted so much time talking to me. So what price do you want me to pay?" asked the black snake.

"It's simple." Wang Chong took another step forward, slowly approaching, and pinched the chin of Tallulah's body with his hand. He said, "I want your body. Are you willing to give it to me?"

Chapter 2: If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet.

Want this body?

Black Snake was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. Apparently, the enemy had been drawn to Tallulah's beauty, which was why they hadn't killed her the first time. Black Snake had to admit that Tallulah did have good genes. Even though her fashion sense was terrible and she dressed like a man, it couldn't hide the noble beauty hidden in her blood.

Furthermore, Tallulah had spent years cultivating her manners and temperament, and these habits had long been ingrained in her bones. Her every move exuded the charm and grace of an aristocrat. It was perfectly natural for her to attract young men.

However, because of this, Black Snake's opinion of the man before him became slightly lower. A person who couldn't control his lower body, even if he had great strength, would be at his mercy. Black Snake even felt that leaning over the man was not worth it.

Now there was only one question to consider. Was Tallulah's virginity worth the price of this powerful man? Black Snake thought it was worth it. While his character wasn't great, he had the strength to freeze Tallulah's flames without a staff, the formidable physique to withstand a sword strike with his neck unscathed, and the ability to send Tallulah flying with a single kick. Adding this monstrous strength to his plans would undoubtedly accelerate his plan to revive Ursus.

Thinking of this, Black Snake didn't stop his spell directly, but planned to agree out loud first to see what the other party would do. But when he met the other party's eyes full of watching the show, Black Snake couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart: Could someone with such powerful strength really be as simple as he thought?

"No, he's been observing me the whole time. And I just showed off my straightforward personality, daring to love and hate. But if I just agree now, it would be completely contradictory."

The black snake reacted, pretending to be angry and said, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to get my body, then I would rather die!"

"Hahahahahaha..." Wang Chong just laughed out loud after hearing this. He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to understand this sentence in this way. Seeing is believing..."

"What do you mean by that..." Black Snake's heart shuddered, and for some reason a bad feeling crept into his heart.

"What do you mean?" Wang Chong feigned doubt, then leaned closer to Tallulah's ear and whispered, "Should I call you Tallulah? Or should I call you... 'Immortal Black Snake'?"

"..."

The black snake instantly understood everything. The other party's target from the beginning wasn't anyone else, but it. No, it wasn't just it either. The words "I want this body" to it meant that the other party also had its eyes on Tallulah's value.

"die--"

Without hesitation, Black Snake manipulated Tallulah's Originium Technique at such close range, sending scorching flames flaring between them. However, before the flames could fully spread, they were frozen once more.

But the black snake seemed to have anticipated this. Its other hand, controlling Tallulah's, had already touched her body. It had never expected its fire spells to have any effect on the other party; all it needed to do was to make its Originium skills work so that it could lean over the man before it.

"Well……"

Wang Chong let out a dull groan, as if struck by something. Seeing this, Black Snake breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had already used his most unique Originium technique to contact the other party. With enough time, this person before him would surely become one of his clones.

But the next second, the black snake's heart was shaken. It could feel that the consciousness it had separated was swallowed up. Not to mention leaning over to control the other party, it couldn't even shake the other party's soul. It was directly turned into the other party's nourishment and was completely devoured by the other party.

"Consciousness and soul... hehe, this land is really my blessed land." Wang Chong looked completely fine at this moment. It turned out that everything just now was just Wang Chong's disguise.

"Okay, I've had enough fun. Black Snake, it's time to say goodbye to this body of yours. Power of Destruction..." At this moment, Wang Chong's aura was no longer concealed. A large amount of black mist rose from Wang Chong's body and directly invaded Tallulah's body in the most intuitive form.

If you walk by the river often, you'll get your feet wet. The black snake, who had always possessed and brainwashed others, never imagined that one day it would face the same fate. But even more shocking than its own fate was the methods Wang Chong displayed and his untouchable power.

"Evil...evil demon...wait, no..."

After the black snake uttered the last few words, it was completely absorbed and assimilated by the black mist.

"Evil demon? You didn't think I was a demon just because I had black fog, did you? Hmm? Something's wrong? How could he escape like this? Terra's Originium skills seem more complicated than I thought."

After Wang Chong assimilated the black snake, he absorbed its memories and soon realized something was amiss. He had indeed brainwashed the black snake, but he hadn't completely brainwashed it into devouring it.

To be precise, the black snake he devoured was merely a partial consciousness of the concept of the immortal black snake. Even after he devoured this black snake, someone in Ursus would still be possessed by the newly born black snake. And in the last memory Wang Chong collected, the next black snake had now possessed a history teacher.

What surprised Wang Chong the most was that the black snake could continuously resonate with the consciousness of the black snake under his control, attempting to break free from the brainwashing. Of course, without Wang Chong's permission, the black snake, already assimilated into a ghost, would be unable to break free from the brainwashing. After all, in terms of strength, the black snake was simply not strong enough for Wang Chong to crush.

But it must be said that just considering the impact it has on his own ghost, it is clear that Originium skills and Originium are not something to be dignified with. It can only be said that Terra's current civilization has not fully tapped the true potential of Originium.

Wang Chong looked at Tallulah. Without the Black Snake, Tallulah could no longer bear the mental trauma and pain, ultimately passing out temporarily. Wang Chong held Tallulah in his arms, first dissolving the vaporization and freezing technique he had just used. Then, closing his eyes, he allowed the black mist to seep into Tallulah's body, carefully sensing the Originium particles within her—the Ore Disease.

"It's a pity that since entering the second world, the system has suddenly been stuck in the process of upgrading. It will take three days to complete the upgrade and officially appear. Otherwise, I could let the system scan directly now to see what this mineral disease and originium are all about." Wang Chong shook his head and could only rely on the magic knowledge he gained from another world and his own strength to make a comparison.

"It's a bit like a meme... but different. It possesses both memes and pheromones, and a vast energy source. It can be used to store and compile information, as well as decompile and transform reality... This energy is even comparable to the True Aether of the Type-Moon world, and the miracles it creates are no less powerful than the Five Great Laws. Is this really the worldview of Arknights, with its localized riots and wars? Has it been too long since I've watched the plot?"

Soon, Wang Chong opened his eyes, his brow furrowing. His memory of Arknights' plot only reached the ending of Roaring Light. Oh, and he also mentioned the if-in-one plot of Hai Si's destruction of the world. Beyond that, he didn't have any other profound memories of the Ark.

He believed that even the so-called Haisi world-destruction could be resisted single-handedly. After all, for a creature without individual consciousness, the corrosive power of his own power of destruction could be considered a natural restraint. However, now, he might have to re-evaluate this planet and the events unfolding on this land.
