Chapter 576 - 576: A Passage to Another World, Apokolips?
"This chaotic spacetime tunnel, what kind of impact does it have on reality? It won't suddenly suck me in, right?", Hikari asked the Pure Love System while backing away.
[No. This chaotic spacetime rift is in a semi-sealed state. Living beings cannot enter, nor can they exit.]
Hearing this explanation, Hikari finally relaxed. He activated his Aura Observation Technique and examined that pitch-black spacetime rift again.
"Since you can't go in or out through this spacetime rift, then why can I see strands of black gas constantly coming out from the other end of the passage? What is that?"
[That should be world-origin energy transmitted from another world.]
[Similar to spiritual energy, but inclined toward a chaotic and evil alignment.]
[Based on the evil energy leaking from this chaotic spacetime tunnel, the other side should be a world with a relatively complete supernatural system. The power it holds would be considerably stronger than that of the present world.]
Hearing the Pure Love System's explanation, Hikari frowned slightly, "Sounds like that other world isn't exactly a decent one."
"Even its origin energy is this evil… could it be something like a 'Apokolips' type of world."
After muttering a few words, Hikari asked the system again, "Right, will this sealed chaotic spacetime rift stay like this forever?"
[Not necessarily. This seal is not stable. Accidents may occur that cause the spacetime rift to expand. Of course, the seal may also become more stable]
Hikari immediately frowned deeply, "If the seal breaks and the spacetime rift expands, will the power from that other world invade the present world?"
[Yes]
"Then wouldn't the real world become a complete mess?", Hikari said.
[It is possible. Being invaded by a world with such evil power would likely accelerate the deterioration of both the inner and outer worlds.]
[Therefore, please find a way to completely seal or take control of this spacetime rift.]
"This chaotic spacetime tunnel… can it actually be sealed or controlled by me?", Hearing the system's prompt, Hikari's eyes lit up.
[Yes. Based on analysis, there are 730 optimal solutions for completely sealing this spacetime tunnel.]
[Taking into account the tunnel's level of chaos, spacetime coordinates, and the host's current abilities and resources, selecting the best among the best, the 'Arcane·Mystic Heaven Spirit Lock' plan is the most suitable.]
[Unlocking and querying the 'Arcane·Mystic Heaven Spirit Lock' plan requires payment of 500,000 Pure Love Points. Does the host wish to unlock it?]
"How much?"
"Five hundred thousand Pure Love Points?"
Hearing the system's prompt, Hikari nearly blacked out.
'You said you'd pick the best option based on my current abilities and resources, and you came up with something that costs a mere 'five hundred thousand' points.'
"Do I look like someone who has five hundred thousand points?"
Seeing the Pure Love System asking such an outrageous price, Hikari felt speechless, "Just unlocking the plan costs that much. Actually sealing this spacetime tunnel would definitely require materials, formations, or techniques, right?"
"If you add everything up, it'll probably be over a million points, won't it?"
[Conservative estimate: roughly one million will suffice]
"'One million will suffice'? I don't even have ten thousand! I'm only short by a tiny bit, huh… forget it, give me another plan!", Hikari said helplessly.
Even though it involved power at the level of spacetime, and he knew it wouldn't be easy to resolve, the number of points required was far beyond anything he could even consider right now.
The Pure Love System seemed to understand Hikari's lack of funds and gave another prompt.
[If the host abandons sealing the spacetime tunnel and instead chooses to control it, there are 3,400 optimal solutions]
[Considering the tunnel's chaos level, spacetime coordinates, and the host's current abilities, selecting the best among suitable options]
[Only 200,000 Pure Love Points are required to initially gain control of this spacetime tunnel. Afterward, the host can gradually spend points to reinforce control through additional sealing methods]
Hearing the system's prompt, Hikari let out a surprised exclamation, "Wow, it dropped from one million to two hundred thousand. That's cheap."
Then his expression sank again, "The problem is I still don't have two hundred thousand, and I'm not even close."
Just as Hikari felt speechless, another system prompt came.
[Detected that the host is financially strained, still in the early development stage, yet has encountered a major problem difficult to resolve.]
[To facilitate the host in promoting the spirit of pure love, and to prevent invasion of the present world by otherworldly forces, which would increase the prevalence of 'NTR' behavior a special mission is hereby issued: How many steps are needed to control an otherworld passage?]
（1. Rescue and redeem 99 female victims of the 2D world!）
（2. Hunt and kill more than 999 'Cuckolders'!）
（3. Raise all attributes above 300 points and meet overall combat standards.）
[Upon completing the above conditions, the host will gain control of this otherworld passage for free, and also receive rewards: 1) 30,000 Pure Love Points 2) Three chances at a golden roulette draw]
[Note: After accepting this mission, the host will gain discounted access to temporarily seal the spacetime tunnel]
Seeing the system's continuous prompts, Hikari examined them carefully.
Although the requirements for this special mission weren't easy, not only did he have to rescue 99 victims, he also had to kill nearly a thousand 'Cuckolders', but since it was all in the 2D world, Hikari felt that with effort, it was still achievable.
And upon completion, he would not only gain control of the otherworld passage, but also receive generous rewards.
Moreover, there was no penalty for failure.
Hikari immediately chose to accept without hesitation.
"I accept this special mission."
[Ding! Host has successfully accepted the special mission and gained discounted access to temporarily seal the spacetime tunnel.]
[Temporary sealing of the spacetime tunnel (three years): After sealing, it will stop the continuous invasion of evil energy from the other world and completely eliminate the risk of expansion. Originally requires 20,000 Pure Love Points. Discounted price: only 2,000!]
Since he had already decided to deal with this passage to another world, Hikari naturally chose to seal it.
[Ding! Consumed 2,000 Pure Love Points. The unstable spacetime tunnel has been sealed for three years.]
As Hikari made his decision, the black hole before him began to slowly shrink.
From originally covering an entire wall, it shrank to only the size of a fist.
Seeing that no more evil energy was leaking out from the black hole, and the black mist shrouding the Munataka residence began to gradually dissipate, Hikari let out a sigh of relief.
After choosing to seal this unstable spacetime tunnel connecting to another world, Hikari's Pure Love Points were almost completely drained.
What had once been a relatively comfortable amount was now reduced to only a few hundred points.
Hikari shook his head helplessly, "Looks like I need to hunt more 'Cuckolders' and earn more Pure Love Points."
After understanding this unstable spacetime tunnel, Hikari roughly figured out why there had been an evil god in the Munataka residence.
It had probably stumbled upon this spacetime rift connecting worlds and thought of using a new world to spread its faith and increase followers.
But since this was a highly unstable spacetime tunnel, even as an evil god, it couldn't cross over directly.
So it could only try to squeeze through a trace of its will, using methods like entering dreams to preach to Munataka Rurie.
Then, after turning her into a believer, it had her perform a summoning ritual. Only after descending could it truly influence the present world.
Hikari still remembered that before dissipating, that evil god's will had said it would take revenge on him.
Right now, with the spacetime tunnel still in a semi-sealed and chaotic state, the other side couldn't come over, so it wasn't a concern.
But if this spacetime tunnel were to stabilize, that would be another matter.
If that evil god really descended, then with Hikari's current strength, it would be quite dangerous.
Of course, he had now used the discount privilege to completely seal the spacetime tunnel.
At least for the next three years, there was nothing to worry about.
However, this inner world might not have just this one passage to another world.
In any case, he still needed to be careful.
Hunt more 'Cuckolders,' earn more Pure Love Points, and get stronger as quickly as possible.
Having made up his mind, Hikari used certain methods to seal off the entrance to the room, then left the basement.
After being busy in the basement for a while, when Hikari returned to the first floor of the Munataka residence, he found that someone had woken up.
Seeing the figure sitting alone on the sofa drinking water, Hikari walked over.
"Madam Rurie, rested well?", Hikari sat beside Munataka Rurie and asked.
"Mm… I slept for a bit. I've mostly recovered," Munataka Rurie nodded.
Because of the previous battle with Hikari while possessed by the evil god's will, the new nightgown she had changed into had been torn again.
She had already changed several times yesterday, and for a moment couldn't even find a proper nightdress, so she was now only wearing thin purple underwear.
Perhaps because Hikari's earlier "discipline" had been effective, when she saw him sit down, Munataka Rurie took the initiative to lean her body against his shoulder.
Hikari didn't hold back. He reached out and wrapped his arm around the graceful waist of the mature woman, even pinching a bit of soft flesh on her lower abdomen. The touch felt quite good.
"Hikari-kun…", Feeling his movements, Munataka Rurie lowered her head, somewhat shy.
But even more than that, she was afraid.
Looking at the complex expression on her charming face, and the faint trace of fatigue still lingering between her brows, Hikari smiled, "Don't worry. I'm just checking how your body is recovering."
"After all, that evil god's will was attached to you before. I'm worried it might have caused some bad effects."
"How do you feel now? Any discomfort anywhere?"
Munataka Rurie thought for a moment and shook her head, "No… just a bit tired."
"And also… my legs hurt a little."
"They feel hot and sore."
Munataka Rurie glanced at Hikari with her alluring eyes, her expression clearly a bit aggrieved.
But with that naturally seductive face making such an expression, it felt more like she was casting a flirtatious look, making one's heart itch.
Seeming to notice a slight change in Hikari's gaze, Munataka Rurie quickly raised her head and kissed him.
"Um… Hikari-kun, I want to rest for a bit," Her voice trembled slightly.
But Hikari suddenly stared seriously at her slightly raised lower abdomen, "Madam, are you still worshipping that evil god?"
On her body, he had once again discovered a few strands of black mist.
Hearing his words, Munataka Rurie's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No, no! I was just bewitched by that thing before!"
"I swear, now I only believe in you, Hikari-kun, my master!"
Looking at her expression and demeanor, Hikari knew she was telling the truth.
The traces of black mist on her now were probably just residue from being influenced by the evil god's will for too long.
And after he sealed the spacetime tunnel, the black mist in the Munataka residence was unwilling to dissipate, so it tried to cling to Munataka Rurie.
After all, she was just an ordinary person and couldn't control anything.
But without the evil god's will and the spacetime tunnel, this evil black mist had no source.
Naturally, it would soon be completely purged.
