The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

The moment the arrow was released from his hand, the scenery around them instantly changed, and they found themselves on a bustling street instead of by the riverbank.

"Bang——!!!"

The traffic lights at the intersection were completely destroyed by Zhang Sheng's explosive arrow. Amidst the roar, a huge fire broke out, and the people at the intersection screamed.

The intersection, which was originally during rush hour, instantly became incredibly chaotic, and those dressed in strange clothes and carrying inappropriate and terrifying weapons immediately became the focus of attention.

"The world inside and outside!! Everyone split up and run separately, then meet up again via the communicator afterward!!"

Seeing that most of the panicked pedestrians on the roadside had taken out their phones to call the police, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses reacted instantly after his expression changed slightly. After quickly saying a few words, he turned around without hesitation and squeezed into the crowd around him.

This mission world was definitely not as simple as he had imagined!

"Are they here to kill you?"

Inside a breakfast shop by the roadside, watching the small team that was quickly scattering and escaping on the street, each displaying their unique abilities, Yakumo Yukari's expression was slightly strange.

After all, he had just witnessed such a terrifying, indescribable creature and was now chatting and laughing with this guy in front of him, and then this group of humans, who looked far inferior to that ancient god, came to hunt him down...

"They should be easy to deal with, so why did they run away?"

"These are just cannon fodder. It's beneath me to argue with them. I don't want to be marked by that petty guy, the Supreme God."

Buried in the steaming hot dry noodles, Shi Bai curled his lip in disdain.

"Don't pay attention to them, let them do whatever they want."

"Oh...right, what will this world become afterward?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu walking past the door, excitedly discussing various settings in her novel with her best friend Wang Yu, Yakumo Yukari thought for a moment and then turned to Shi Bai to ask him a question.

"What else can happen? It'll stay the same. But at least in the short term, no fool will dare to mess with this world... although this world will become very lively in the future."

Shi Bai subtly rolled his eyes as he watched the reincarnators in the middle of the road wearing bamboo dragonflies on their heads to escape the crowd.

"That guy from the main god really gets the news fast. If I hadn't reacted in time, I probably would have been bothered by that annoying guy again."

"...So what exactly did you do in the past?"

"You'll either die or you'll die."

"........."

"Oh, right, you can take this for now."

As if remembering something, Shi Bai took an alarm clock out of his pocket and placed it on the table. This was the same alarm clock that he had received when he first came into this world, the one that could control time.

"An alarm clock?? They still keep that?"

Yukari Yakumo reached out and took the alarm clock, looking on with curiosity.

"Of course, this is no ordinary one."

Shi Bai calmly picked up a few bites of pickled vegetables for himself.

"This is the embodiment of the origin of this world."

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Fourteen: That Man, He's Back

"The manifestation of the origin... is this thing?"

Looking at the ordinary, worn-out alarm clock in her hand, which almost no one would pick up if left on the roadside, Yukari Yakumo was slightly taken aback.

"Why not? If we hadn't intervened to break that ancient god's dream, this world would have been completely assimilated long ago. In that situation, do you think this world would be in a good position?"

Shi Bai reached out and took the alarm clock from Yakumo Yukari's hand.

“Strictly speaking, I have now completely taken control of this world, but it doesn’t mean much, since this world is too low-level, and even the most basic world consciousness hasn’t been born yet… However, I have discovered some very interesting things.”

As he spoke, Shi Bai reached out and took out the battery from the back of the alarm clock. With his action, the once noisy world instantly became incredibly quiet, even the breeze stopped in the air, and the whole world seemed to be paused.

"The most basic function - pausing time - is very useful for dining and dashing."

After giving Yakumo Yukari a brief explanation, Shi Bai stood up from his chair and casually slashed open a spatial rift in front of him.

"Would you like to come and take a look? This is a very interesting discovery."

"Well……"

After thinking for a moment, Yukari Yakumo also stepped into a spatial rift.

This is a fairly clean and tidy rental room. The morning sunlight shines in through the window and falls on the table, casting a seven-colored glow on the ceiling.

However, if combined with the setting inside a rented apartment, the original atmosphere of youthful daily life will instantly transform into a horror movie.

A lone figure hopped and skipped at the doorway, seemingly trying to hook the doorknob and open the door to get out. However, due to the freeze in time, it was suspended in mid-air. Various organs danced wildly in the not-so-small rented room, frozen in mid-air to form an extremely bizarre picture. Meanwhile, a certain evil god candidate lay on the bed staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

"Him? Does he hold some secret?"

Yukari Yakumo recognized the lucky offering at a glance, and seemed a little puzzled.

"He should be able to control his body by now, so why is he letting it fly around aimlessly?"

"Perhaps it's because they yearn for the feeling of freedom."

Walking to Lin Mu's side on the bed, Shi Bai was filled with emotion.

"Seeing them, even as organs, desperately pursuing freedom, I can't help but feel a deep sense of emotion. The breath of freedom is so beautiful and captivating... Do you want to hear a joke?"

"joke?"

"Well... or you could say it's a famous quote used to celebrate freedom."

As he spoke, Shi Bai reached out and pulled a faintly white light from Lin Mu's body, holding it in his palm.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I could smell the breath of freedom. It was still a bit cold in the UK in May. The local black guy who got off the plane with me knew I was cold and lit a nearby building to warm me up. Here, you can see blacks and whites living together in harmony everywhere. In the distance, I saw four white police officers giving a black man CPR. Although their posture was a bit wrong, you can't deny that they are good police officers."

"Everything in the supermarket was free, and people were carrying bags full of purchases. A supermarket employee in a wheelchair was at the entrance, welcoming customers as they came to shop. Although she was disabled, it didn't hinder her dedication. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and I was so startled that I quickly covered my ears. The young Black man next to me comforted me and explained that it was their custom, that they did it every day, and that on important holidays, it could go on all day. Looking around, I saw another gunfight not far away. Police officers drove through the crowd, and people lined the streets to welcome them. Some even excitedly blocked the car until the police car kindly pushed them aside. Seeing this, my eyes welled up with tears. I thought, perhaps this is why the United States has become a world superpower."

"???"

Yukari Yakumo felt that there was something wrong with the other party.

"...So that's how it is, information leaks? How dare they maliciously slander me behind my back? Well then, I'll just go and destroy that world another day..."

Nodding thoughtfully, Shi Bai glanced at Lin Mu, who lay motionless on the bed looking utterly hopeless, and then shoved the system he had pulled from Lin Mu's body back into place.

"What did you find?"

Seeing Shi Bai walk back, Yakumo Yukari asked him a question.

"A tiny bit of information leaked into other worlds is nothing to worry about, it's just a trivial matter."

With a wave of his hand, Shi Bai chose to return the way he came.

"We've got what we needed, it's time for us to leave this world."

"So you're just going to leave your pursuers there?"

Having successfully controlled her curiosity, Yukari Yakumo returned to the breakfast shop and pressed for more information.

"Since you've completely taken control of this world, why don't you just... what are you doing?"

"Use the [Origin of the World] to create items and props."

While tearing a lump of dough from the alarm clock and reforging it using his [Heavenly Craftsmanship] talent, Shi Bai casually replied.

"It's exhausting to maintain a world, why would I bother carrying one around? It would be too easy to expose myself. I'm not really interested in that right now... Done."

Shi Bai glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"What kind of impact would it have on the world if you took most of these things?"

With a twitching eye, Yakumo Yukari watched as the alarm clock quickly transformed into a pocket watch and a cheap wristwatch, and asked.

"The upper limit of world development has simply been lowered. This world would have ceased to exist without me. I am merely taking what I deserve."

Shi Bai casually placed the remaining watch on the table and turned to Yakumo Yukari to speak.

"I've set a timer. In five minutes, time will resume its normal flow. Let's go wait for the car."

"...Is it really okay to just leave something so important on the table like that?"

"Don't worry, it won't break. It's more than enough to cover this meal of noodles. I'm not going to dine and dash."

"That's not what I meant... Never mind."

Yakumo Yukari glanced at the unremarkable watch on the table, sighed, and then turned and walked out of the store.

Like just casually throwing away control of a world... she felt she would get used to it sooner or later.

..................................................................

On the desolate land, in front of a dilapidated and ancient stone table, seven dark figures whose faces were indistinct appeared one after another.

This is a hidden place located in the endless void, a place that has been abandoned for nearly ten thousand years.

"That man, he's back."

After a long while, when everyone had finally arrived, the dark figure in the main seat spoke in a low voice.

"He successfully became the first person to emerge alive from inside the [Gate]."

"what."

"Oh."

"Ah."

"Do not care."

"Not interested in."

“zzzzZzzzz…”

"Abba aba aba."

"...What kind of attitude is this? Didn't you hear what I said? That man is back!!!"

The dark figure in the main seat slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Have you forgotten why we founded this organization in the first place?! Now that he's back, we have to take action!!"

"It's been so long, let's just forget about that little thing. I have no interest in provoking him again. You know we can't do anything about him."

"+1."

"+2."

"+3."

"+4."

“zzZzzzzzz”

"+6."

"Have you forgotten the suffering you endured at that man's hands?! Have you forgotten how that man humiliated and trampled on us?! Darkness is about to return, and we must once again raise the banner of resistance!!"

The shadowy figure's voice gradually rose in pitch.

"We must unite all available forces and do everything in our power to bring that man to justice once again..."

How many worlds has he destroyed so far?

"Uh... According to information we got from an uncensored post on the [Crossover Train] that declared he wanted to kill that guy, that man has probably already saved two worlds."

"what?"

"what?"

"Transgender?"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Did he suddenly go crazy?"

“zzzZzzzzzzz?”

"Has he finally gone mad again?"

"According to rumors, it seems that the man has other companions by his side, which is almost impossible. There must be some unknown conspiracy involved."
