Chapter 2598: Chapter 1738: Self-Inflicted Karma (Ben Cat’s Belly Got Fatter Again)_2

Of course, the hymns they sang didn’t have the power like Duanmu Huai’s. The Levatials of the Tower World could only chant binary hymns to praise the Mecha Spirit after being modified by the oil man. Duanmu Huai, however, naturally had influence because he was a Deity.

As for the humans of this world... well, unless someone is exceptionally gifted with a voice like the Levatials, it’s just ordinary singing.

But Duanmu Huai couldn’t be certain that there wasn’t anyone like that, mainly because there’s nothing strange in this great, big world. He had even seen someone who sang with built-in remixing. Heaven doesn’t follow logic or reason. Among these billions of people, there might really be someone with a unique voice like the Levatials.

Moreover, Inquisitor’s music had crossed the seas, causing quite a stir around the world. As soon as the album was released, it was sold out and topped major global music charts. At least during Inquisitor’s national tour for this month, they truly had an air of conquering the entire world.

It’s just like how a meteor is most dazzling when it streaks across the night sky. As long as you look up, you can’t help but notice that radiant light.

Then the meteor vanished.

But fortunately, this time the band’s disbandment wasn’t a sad topic. It wasn’t like many bands in history that split because of being murdered by fans, or due to financial disputes or unpleasant cooperation. It was simply because Duanmu Huai sang enough, played enough, so it ended.

Although it couldn’t be called a beautiful story... but at least it’s not a topic that would cause grief or heartbreak.

At least he was still there.

And everyone was already used to Duanmu Huai’s lazy and willful nature to the death... well...

The public was buzzing about Inquisitor’s disbandment, but Duanmu Huai didn’t care at all. He didn’t care what people said; instead, he excitedly found Hei Chuan Chi Yin, Fureya, and Nolan to tell them...

"The plan succeeded, we can proceed to the next step!"

"Success? Really succeeded?"

Hei Chuan Chi Yin was somewhat surprised at Duanmu Huai’s words. To be honest, she didn’t even feel like she did anything. Aside from touring nationally with Duanmu Huai, she felt like she hadn’t done anything special, so how could it succeed?

"That’s right."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"Do you remember that farce with Shirai Kiri?"

"Ah, yes, I’ve heard of it..."

Hei Chuan Chi Yin had also heard Fukawa Shoko mention this, but she wasn’t very concerned, so she didn’t particularly take it to heart.

"Coincidentally, do you know who Shirai Kiri is?"

"Who?"

"Hehehe... that guy who just won’t die."

"Eh?"

It must be said, after hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, the three were all stunned. Taking this opportunity, Duanmu Huai explained the world’s puberty syndrome and its effects to the three.

"Puberty syndrome... I’ve heard that rumor, I can’t believe it’s true?"

"That’s right. In the past, Sakurajima Mai encountered a similar situation, and I helped her solve it."

"Ah, so that’s why you’re so close with Mai..."

Hei Chuan Chi Yin suddenly understood and nodded. She had wondered before how Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai met, not expecting there to be this connection.

"Come to think of it, it did feel strange at that time."

Princess Nolan now recalled with some thoughtfulness.

"When the Brave Lord was singing, I indeed didn’t know why I felt the Brave Lord was Shirai Kiri. It wasn’t until the Brave Lord removed the mask that this feeling disappeared. At that time... now that I think about it carefully, why did I have such a thought?"

"Because many of the people who came to the scene were young, and most of them believed I was Shirai Kiri."

"Just because of that?"

Fureya was dumbfounded too.

"So, Brave Lord means, because those people believe you are Shirai Kiri, you became Shirai Kiri? Is this what puberty syndrome is? Why does this sound like a curse..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"It’s actually not a bad curse, and if it wasn’t for me, the other side might have succeeded."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, a smug smile emerged.

Indeed, just as Duanmu Huai had said, the mastermind behind the Shirai Kiri incident was that undefeatable Star God.

In the beginning, Duanmu Huai never thought in this direction until the puberty syndrome was broken, and he discovered the true identity of the other party.

The reason the other party did this was simple, they wanted to transform into "Shirai Kiri," possess Duanmu Huai, and cross into this world.

The other side might have discovered that Duanmu Huai wasn’t around there, so they wanted to come here to find clues, and the Star God obviously was very familiar with the nature of this world.

In retrospect, one would find that Shirai Kiri’s videos never showed people, only various sceneries, then a female voice singing. To those who had watched the video, Shirai Kiri was an abstract, non-physical sign and noun. Like a novel’s heroine, even if described in words, unless you provide illustrations or a real-life image, the audience would only conjure a vague impression through imagination.

But how to solidify that impression?

Naturally, it requires a concrete entity.

So the other party set their sights on Duanmu Huai.

If Duanmu Huai were not Duanmu Huai, but anyone else, they would be affected by puberty syndrome, admitting to being Shirai Kiri the moment the mask was taken off.

And once she admitted it, the puberty syndrome would immediately rewrite the world, making the Star God completely become the real Shirai Kiri existing in this world, and not just an online virtual term.

In fact, the plan was indeed almost successful, knowing that Banai and Chitanda were informed by Duanmu Huai, but when he gave them tickets, their reactions seemed like they didn’t know Duanmu Huai was the lead singer of Inquisitor. Actually, from that time on, the world had gradually been eroded by "Shirai Kiri," severing the connection between Duanmu Huai’s identity and the lead singer of the Inquisitor band, attempting to sever their link, giving "Shirai Kiri" the chance to exist.

However, unfortunately, the unlucky one chose the wrong target.

It’s like a person wanting to catch a rabbit, then using a rabbit as bait to catch a tiger. The result was when he smugly planned to harvest the prey, upon opening the trap, he found the tiger inside waiting with open jaws!

As a result, it nearly got itself bitten to death by the tiger.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at his palm.

In fact, at that time, Duanmu Huai wanted to use the puberty syndrome to gobble up the Star God in return.

After all, the Star God wanted to use the puberty syndrome to let the "Duanmu Ai" presence get absorbed by "Shirai Kiri" and merge into one.

So naturally, Duanmu Huai could also, the moment the mask was taken off, let "Duanmu Ai" devour "Shirai Kiri" and fuse into one.

Shirai Kiri is Duanmu Ai, and Duanmu Ai is Shirai Kiri, isn’t it just a matter of sequence? I don’t mind.

But the Star God minds!

Thus, upon realizing it would be devoured by Duanmu Huai, the opponent decisively chose to cut its losses to escape.

But why would Duanmu Huai let it off so easily?

He is a True Person, claiming supremacy in spiritual pollution. Who dares claim first?

Moreover, unlike spiritual corruption from the Subspace, Duanmu Huai’s ancient dominion is erosion from a reality level, naturally countering the Star God.

Right now, the other side might just be rolling on the ground, crying and making a fuss.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai slightly curled his lips into a cold smile.

"Get ready, this time, we are definitely going to completely deal with this damn thing!"
