Gaining a new skill was an unexpected pleasure, but it didn't make Qi Yuan slack off.
When the monster was suspicious and bewildered, he secretly used the illusion realm to devour its life force and monster domain.
Soon, the monster left peacefully, but it wasn't Qi Yuan who acted.
Being "fooled" by Qi Yuan seemed to have a big impact on it. At first, it hardly resisted, allowing itself to indulge in the illusion realm.
Its logic was very simple.
Since it had been in the illusion realm for so long, no matter how much it struggled, it would only add to this despicable human's amusement.
All the riddles had been solved, and he must have been delaying killing it to make a mockery of it.
If so, it was better to leave peacefully, at least it didn't lose its dignity.
For this human, not being able to see the prey die in agony and struggle would be somewhat frustrating.
Frustrating...
That's right!
It would reveal his evil deeds to the world, so he could never again play with other monsters and humans.
This was its revenge.
It would use its life as a price, to make Qi Yuan suffer pain.
It began to struggle madly in the illusion realm, summoning all its strength for a final curse at the cost of its life.
The words on its surface constantly moved, and the black-purple mist inside began to condense in a certain pattern.
It changed from a human form to a spherical form again, with no visible face or expression on the spherical body, yet somehow gave a feeling of tragic solemnity.
Although of different races, besides Qi Yuan, others could not help but feel admiration for this one act, vaguely sensing that this monster was going to die for a belief that transcended life itself.
"I curse myself, and the act and reason for my suicide will be known to the whole world."
Its form dissipated at the moment the curse succeeded.
The spherical exterior did not show any expression, but others felt that it left the world with a beautiful aspiration.
Qi Yuan destroyed and devoured its monster domain, bidding it farewell.
He didn't tell this "warrior" that he really needed attention, thanking it for its help, and that he wouldn't stop it either.
Qi Yuan tactfully didn't say those hurtful words about killing the monster.
The monster had helped him enough, and this was the treatment it deserved.
As the monster left, Qi Yuan's control over the illusion realm weakened, and he withdrew the domain.
Back in Xiaosaka City, the four priests looked around in bewilderment, pinching their thighs and arms, behaving strangely.
They were full of doubts about this world.
Was this the real world, or a nested illusion realm?
As they were doubting everything, the curse spread from Xiaosaka City as the center, until the energy was exhausted and couldn't go any further.
Unfortunately, most of the area around Sakura Island was ocean, so the curse eventually spread to Dragon Country, Bill Country, Southern Country, and Northern Fresh Country.
The surviving citizens of Xiaosaka City had not even had time to be surprised by people suddenly falling to the ground as if they had lost their minds, when they were hit by a surge of energy that impacted their brains, and a vivid "movie" of the monster's tragic "experience" began to play in their minds.
The phones and computer screens also showed the monster's miserable experience.
The energy kept spreading, reaching beyond Xiaosaka City to countless people on Sakura Island.
With their limited understanding, they naturally mistook this monster for an S-class monster, since they had no concept of how powerful an S-class monster could be - just that it was very powerful.
They were overwhelmed by the massive amount of information, and regardless of whether they were students or office workers, they could no longer focus on their work or studies.
They all became spectators, discussing the topic.
What?
A major crisis in Xiaosaka City?
The other five great countries came to help, but Sakura Island wasn't qualified to join the five great countries?
In the battle, they didn't even see any Abnormers from Sakura Island?!
And last but not least, this Dragon Country powerhouse was too strong, right?
He toyed with everyone, forcing the monster to commit suicide.
As for the monster's wish to reveal Qi Yuan's true face to the world, no one really cared.
To be honest, they were neither monsters nor powerhouses themselves, without even the qualification to be toyed with, so they couldn't empathize.
Sakura Island's forums and social media were quickly flooded with posts that rapidly became trending topics.
Some people condemned the Sakura Island government's inaction, while a small number of haters mocked the Abnormers they disliked, including the Delinquent King, the Shrine Maiden, and others.
The vast majority of posts, however, were about Qi Yuan alone.
People love to create gods, and they also love to see gods fall.
Qi Yuan stepped on a few "gods" to make a strong entrance, satisfying both desires, and he was quickly elevated to a new pedestal.
However, those few "gods" and Sakura Island's S-class Abnormers still had quite a few supporters, and some acidic comments about Qi Yuan appeared like mushrooms after the rain.
Yet after they posted their remarks, they didn't receive any insults in return. Instead, there was a lot of encouragement.
["Well done, you're right"]
["I'm waiting for when Golden Eye will come for you wwwww"]
["Warrior, have you forgotten how the monster died?"]
["Don't delete, I want to know if Golden Eye will look at the comments."]
The people who posted the acidic remarks were dumbfounded when they saw the comments, panicking in a frenzy.
The comments kept provoking them.
["No ill intent, I just want to know if the OP is still alive?"]
["How are the spider lilies in the Sanzu River looking?"]
["Maybe they're already indulging in the illusion realm..."]
["Don't be so scary, Golden Eye saved our Xiaosaka City, he's a good person, the OP is at most having a nightmare."]
["Yeah, like the Delinquent King."]
When the later commenters tried to post, they found the post was gone.
They couldn't help but sigh, another warrior had fallen.
But soon they found a new topic, swarming over it like sharks smelling blood.
["Why do the S-class Abnormers from other countries seem much stronger than ours?"]
["Only Golden Eye is much stronger, right? Our strongest Abnormers from Sakura Island didn't even show up."]
["Then why didn't he go? There were so many people in Xiaosaka City..."]
["Have you ever thought that S-class is just a level we humans defined, and reality isn't a game with level caps?"]
["I understand what you mean, since S-class is the human-defined top level, so he is S-class, but in reality he is far beyond the other S-class Abnormers."]
["Then let's add a new level, S+"]
That day, not only Sakura Island but also Dragon Country was in an uproar online.
["xdm, Obscure Nine is so freakin' awesome!"]
["This is our senior from Qipan City High School, Old Brag talks about him all the time."]
["I ran into a former classmate, and I thought Old Brag paid him to praise his dad like that, but turns out he's really awesome."]
["Was that red-haired guy a member of Obscure Nine? I want to know how powerful he is."]
["Sakura Island announced that they're putting Qi Yuan at S+, who agrees and who disagrees?"]
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
