So Xue Dili ca to the dorm area, casually picked one room, and said, "You’ll live here for now, I’ll think of so other solution for you later."
"Oh, right, bro, when you’re kneading my body you absolutely have to let watch from the side, okay! I know my body super well, a lot of those private places, the exact size only I know. That way I can help you save a ton of ti." The Little Witch kept chattering nonstop by Xue Dili’s ear.
Xue Dili: "..."
Do you have so weird obsession with growing up or sothing?
He pushed open a dorm room door and found it was a double, with quilts already on the beds. He even started to suspect that back when Fantasy Manifestation was still around, was he really that idle? He’d even fully manifested the beds, desks, and quilts in the dorm.
Thinking about it, when he had Fantasy Manifestation he确实 was that idle. He even used the Bread Technique to make all sorts of bizarre bread to eat himself. Wouldn’t be surprising if there was a bunch of bread in the dorm.
So Xue Dili opened the desk drawer, and sure enough, inside was a huge pile of Magic Sticks.
"Just settle in here. If anything cos up, tell , and sa for —if I run into sothing, I’ll co straight to you." Xue Dili pointed at one of the beds.
"Oh!" The Little Witch didn’t mind the dorm bed being only 0.8 ters wide, she imdiately scampered up onto it all happy.
"Oh right, bro, a phone!"
Xue Dili casually tossed a phone to her. She caught it with a grin and started looking through it, and when Xue Dili left the dorm, he happened to hear the opening the of Ultraman Tiga playing from it.
Looks like back then, the stuff he put by her ear for her to listen to, she didn’t rember any of it after all.
Or maybe she just wants to rewatch the latter half of that series.
Either way, Xue Dili had no intention of nagging her about it.
After Xue Dili left, the Little Witch stared dazedly at the phone in her hand, then buried her whole head into the pillow. Like a caterpillar, she gloomily twisted and crawled around on the dorm bed.
The Divine Purification Demon Eye couldn’t see anything, but in that eye Xue Dili had given her, she saw sothing she’d pretty much ignored before.

[Issuing new quest...]
[Quest 2: Enter a couple relationship with Xue Dili. Reward: a perfect body personally created and refined by the World Consciousness, with all paraters and stats freely customizable by you.]
When she first saw this weird thing, Susu had been stunned for a second. At first she thought it belonged to Margaret, but now she probably understood where this thing ca from.
Maybe this was the "Margaret" of Xue Dili’s world?
Though she couldn’t quite figure out why the Margaret of bro’s world only cared about getting her to seduce Xue Dili, she decided it didn’t matter. Whether it was bagging Xue Dili or that perfect body as a reward—she wanted it all!
After all, thinking back on the past again, she muttered under the covers, "Does bro actually like ?"
"Otherwise why would he fight so hard... for my world?"
Her mumbling seed like only she herself could hear it, but very soon she secretly started cheering herself on.
"You can do it, Susu. It’s not like you’re losing out. We’re a perfect match, handso guy and beautiful girl, and we’ve been through so much already. What other Demons and weirdos would even have the standing to object?" She muttered to herself, as if pumping herself up, and also like she was trying to convince herself.
...
Maybe Xue Dili heard it, but he didn’t care.
He’d run into too many idiots lately; he’d already forgotten that soone seed to have said almost the exact sa line to him before.
It’s just that right now, he didn’t feel the slightest ripple about this kind of thing. He silently looked at the System Panel the Great Sage had left him.
[Authority – Self-Destructor (D-Class): A branch of Nihilism authority. You can selectively strip others of their ability to think, and add a "dazed" status to Curse Blood attacks, making targets temporarily fall into a nihilistic self-extinguishing state. Delving deeper into the Void will grant you stronger authority power.
Warning: Nihilism is one of the most dangerous authorities. Do not approach! Do not approach! Do not approach!]
[Demonization (A -Class): An ability that lets you beco any hero concept; however, it can only be used when other units feel fear toward the concept of "hero."]
This ti he didn’t get any weird Protections mixed in. This Demonization ability was still created by the Savior Squad.
And the original owner of this Demonization ability should’ve been the Little Witch. It’s an ability that can only be used by the Demon’s Eye ford from the fusion of the Divine Purification Demon Eye and Ghost Eye. It was ant for Susu from the very beginning.
It’s just that he accidentally got Crow’s Ghost Eye, and after swapping eyes with the Little Witch, he ended up with this ability.
Maybe that was a coincidence, but Xue Dili couldn’t shake the suspicion that this might also be part of what Susu’s mother saw, after swallowing the Future Demon as a mber of the Savior Squad.
There was also the other thing: the Self-Destructor authority seed stronger now.
Xue Dili glanced at his authority—currently the only one he could actually control: Self-Destructor.
Now he could infuse his Curse Blood with attacks that stop soone from thinking. That should be pretty useful whether in battle or in daily life. After all, a slap coated in Curse Blood that makes soone’s brain shut down on the spot—dumbfounded and brain-damaged.
As for side effects...
Xue Dili carefully checked in with himself. Didn’t feel much different; he was still the sa as before. Maybe he had a bit of emotion, but not much. It didn’t really matter to him.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be a Demon. Aside from fear, Demons don’t seem to have that many other emotions, right?
Losing emotions—does that really affect him that much? Soone once said he didn’t understand love, but he clearly does love humans. Just thinking about so civilization being wiped out before his eyes makes his heart pound.
That’s still a reaction, isn’t it? So he does still have love.
"Let’s keep exploring Hell." With that thought, Xue Dili stopped getting tangled up in trivial details like this.
Maybe fully mastering the Self-Destructor authority wouldn’t be so bad either. Just like the Great Sage—his Self-Destructor authority had reached B-Class, and right now Xue himself was only at D-Class.
He started controlling the tree roots again, and very soon, he did seem to find sothing at the very deepest part of Hell.
It was a cave, apparently once the lair of a powerful Demon. But when Xue Dili walked inside, the entire cavern was filled with twisted building clusters, and a huge number of human statues, faces frozen in terror?
Yeah, human statues.
Tens of thousands of lifelike human statues covered this enormous cavern. They seed to be fleeing in all directions, from sothing they feared and tried to hide from, their faces contorted with horror.
He didn’t know if it was residual Demon power, or just that because it was a cave the weathering was lighter, but Xue Dili couldn’t even use the degree of erosion to estimate how many years ago these statues were made.
It was like these works of art had just been carved by an artist—this place was still full of such masterpieces.
And soon, as he explored, Xue Dili saw a heap of twisted stone fragnts, as well as the record here.
"My na is the Petrification Demon, one of the Primordial Demons. Whoever can find this place, I’m probably already dead by now, aren’t I?"
Those words were carved onto a stone stele, and when Xue Dili glanced at the pile of rubble on the ground, he froze for a mont.
"Petrification... Demon?" He murmured the Demon’s na, looking again at this city of statues and the lifelike figures with terror written all over their faces.
The only surviving information about this ancient civilization—is it really just this Demon’s collection?
And also, why would people fear petrification? Is that a fear belonging solely to Hell’s ancient civilization?
