Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 241 The Door Appears

PS: For the sake of plausibility, it has been changed to Niu Niu Tian Dao deliberately immersing Yan Youyou in the ninety-ninth layer of illusion in order to leave her in a half-dead state.

[You chose to continue rewinding. In this deep dream world constructed by Yan Youyou's consciousness, all your abilities originate from her fantasies.]

You challenge the Corpse King Long You once again...

This time, you gave it your all, but He still smashed your kidney with a single punch, sending you flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the rubble, your fate unknown.

You thought you were starting over, but this time, things are different. In your previous reincarnations, you conveniently saved many people you hadn't been able to reach before.

They risked their lives to bring you, barely alive, back to Dawn Base.

They risked their lives to get you back to base.

Yan Youyou threw herself onto you, sobbing, her tears falling onto your blood-stained clothes: "A-Ling, how could this happen... why did it turn out like this... please, don't die, okay?"

Your life force is rapidly fading, and your body temperature is gradually dropping.

In the end, Yan Youyou gritted her teeth and made a resolute decision—she would donate a kidney, giving you her healthy one.

So you stood up again.

However, Long You's power far exceeded expectations. In the final battle, you were struck head-on by His petrifying ray, turning into a stone statue and falling into the surging Yangtze River.

Everyone thought you were dead.

Only a group of children you rescued at the beginning of the apocalypse stubbornly believe you are still alive.

They stood guard in front of the radio station, their young voices appealing to all the survivors in Nanjing: "Please let us lend light to Mr. A-Ling!"

Countless rays of hope, originating from the depths of human hearts, crossed mountains and rivers, converging into the Knight Transformation Device at your waist, gradually illuminating it with a dazzling light.

Ah... is this everyone's power?

Just as the Corpse King Long You was grinning wickedly, about to completely destroy the base...

[The background music started playing.]

【♬The earth gradually awakens~A ray of dawn~breaks the silence of the night~♬】

【♬My heart is pounding with passion~ Praying for peace~ Let's pursue it together♬】

【♬The road ahead is fraught with thorns and dangers, but my heart cries out, radiating light across the boundless sky♬】

【♬Look at that blue planet~ It's our eternal guardian...♬】

You feel stronger!

"What?!?!" Long You stared at you in disbelief. "What kind of power is this...? Why is it so strong?!"

【Paper Knight Hyper Form！！！（Paper Knight Hyper Form）】

In Yan Youyou's concept, Cardboard Knight: Beyond Form possesses the ability to transcend time and space, going wherever and without limit...

Jiang Ling: ? ? ?

"No way, Youyou...you really opened an account with me?"

[Hyper Kick!! (The Ultimate Kick!)]

[Long You: I'm starving!]

You killed Long You and saved the world!

[Continue with the 98th level of the dream?]

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Jiang Ling's forehead as she gritted her teeth: "Continue!"

The scene before them changed; it was no longer a post-apocalyptic urban world.

[You have entered the fantasy dream world of Yan Youyou's "This Blonde-Haired Hero is Too Cautious~"!]

Yan Youyou is a priestess serving the gods, and she needs to summon a hero from another world to save the "Konosuba" world from extinction.

You have been chosen.

[Upon arriving at the reincarnation space, Youyou asks you to choose one item to bring into the "Konosuba" world.]

[I never expected you to choose "Goddess Priest Yan Youyou".]

[Yan Youyou: "Waaah, what? I'm a priestess, not some nobody..."]

However, due to your extremely cautious nature, you did not immediately travel to the other world.

Instead, they dragged her into a frenzied cultivation spree in the realm of gods, proactively mitigating all conceivable risks.

As they spent time together day after day, Youyou gradually grew to like you, who seemed aloof but gave her all her tenderness.

But you didn't respond to her love immediately.

You've arrived in another world, where you'll face four powerful demon generals at the start, but easily defeat them.

Just when you thought everything would be easy...

The most wheelchair-bound demon king in history has appeared.

[The other party possesses the Time Stone, allowing them to travel back in time at will.]

No matter how many times you kill it, it can always come back to life.

You've been worn down.

"Continue," Jiang Ling said through gritted teeth.

Every death brings a pain that is 200% real, and the weight it places on the mind increases with each passing moment.

This is Niu Niu Tian Dao's open strategy—

Killing Yan Youyou might allow Jiang Ling to find a way to resurrect himself, since the body is destroyed while the soul is preserved.

However, trapping her deep within the ninety-nine layers of a dream would render all methods of resurrection ineffective...

What's more, he was the one who could bring himself to kill Youyou.

Her soul has always slumbered at the bottom of her dreams.

You keep searching for a way to break the deadlock...

Finally, through your tireless efforts, you discovered a "transcendent soap bubble." By attaching the "silver swirling power" to it, you can transcend time and space to kill the Demon King.

In order to obtain a soap bubble that surpasses all others, you participated in the "Gods' Annihilation Journey" organized by the divine realm.

You have died ten times and completed "God's Annihilation Return".

Beyond simulation.

Jiang Ling's lips trembled slightly.

Dying ten times in a row takes a huge toll on one's mental strength.

For some reason, the adaptability of the Demon Soul has become much weaker, perhaps due to the dream?

[You fought the Demon King, and at a crucial moment, you unleashed a "soap bubble that surpasses everything."]

The Demon King's eyes widened: "Holy crap, how could this be so cunning?!"

But, to my utter surprise, the Demon King is even more cunning than you.

He unleashed the "Gate to the Demon Realm Beyond Everything," which, once opened, would neutralize the all-encompassing soap bubble.

To protect Yan Youyou, you rushed forward without hesitation, desperately pressing down on the gate to the demon realm.

"Don't come any closer! Go back to the realm of the gods!"

"Ah Ling—!" Yan Youyou cried out, "Do you think that if you die, I can live on alone?"

She relinquished all her divine status and joined you in closing the gates to the demon realm.

You both vanished into nothingness.

"I'm so hungry..." Jiang Ling hugged Yan Youyou tightly in her arms.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

Just two layers of dreams were enough to make him sweat profusely from the pain.

However, he knew that Youyou was in even more pain than he was.

Jiang Ling: "Lord Long, I regret it..."

[Continue to the next level?]

"continue!"

……

[You have entered Yu-Yu's dream world of "Gundam: The Martian Witch's Love".]

[Together, you piloted the Gundam, roaring, and crushed the villain as you plunged into the sun.]

Death is a carefree summer day, offering a peaceful sleep.

……

[You have entered Youyou's dream world, "The Love War Between the Little Spider Demon and the Taoist Yellow-Haired Soldier."]

[You abandoned the Yellow Sword, a symbol of your identity as a Taoist soldier, and carrying the wounded little spider demon Youyou, walked step by step out of the Sword Alliance's mountain gate.]

"Kill him! Kill him! Humans and demons are different, the strongest soldier of the Daoist sect has actually betrayed the entire human race!" Countless sword cultivators hurled their magical swords at you, each one piercing into your flesh.

You can clearly feel your life force rapidly slipping away.

"If there is an afterlife, would you be willing to travel with me to see all the mountains and rivers?" you asked the woman in your arms with a smile.

……

[You have entered Yu-Yu's dream world, "Giants Invade, My Childhood Friend and I Join the Survey Corps."]

"I will drive out those giants, leaving not a single one alive—!"

【"Youyou, are you 'family' or 'lover'?"】

[The high walls collapsed, the world was destroyed, and you, who unleashed the "Rumbling Annihilation," had your head severed by Youyou's own hand.]

Holding your cold body, she leaped into the raging river, committing suicide together.

……

[You have entered the dream world of Youyou's "The Day the Meteor Fell ~By a Twist, You Swapped Bodies with Your Past Self."]

[You have entered Youyou's dream world of "My Youth Story Is No Problem ~The Yellow-Haired Young Master and the Yellow-Haired Young Master".]

[You have entered Youyou's dream world, "A Future Without A-Ling ~Not the Future I Want~".]

[You have entered the dream world of Youyou's "The Genius Pig-Headed Girl Won't Dream of the Cardboard Knight Senior".]

……

As each layer of the dream is broken through.

The "Demon Soul" within Jiang Ling's body seems to have adapted to "not being able to adapt to dreams" and has begun to adapt to the mental impact caused by dreams.

After an unknown amount of time, I broke through a certain dream.

There were no other dreams.

In the pitch-black space, a door suddenly appeared.

"This is..." Jiang Ling reached out and gently touched it; it was icy cold. "It seems this is the very bottom of the dream world."

Should we push open this door?
