Extra Chapter: Mystery x Chemistry (Middle)

The soul is rising.

The soul is rising.

By relying on the effects of mystery and chemistry, to break free from the body's restraint.

Translation: "Using the effects of mystery and chemistry, to free oneself from the constraints of the flesh." More natural: "Leveraging the effects of mystery and chemistry, I break free from the shackles of the flesh." But we must not add. Let's keep close: "By virtue of the effects of mystery and chemistry, to detach from the bodily obstruction." Hmm.

By relying on the effects of mystery and chemistry, to break free from the body's restraint.

By surpassing the body, surpassing the ceiling, surpassing the standby defense affairs that cover the entire city, surpassing heaven and earth, until reaching the higher vision that stands upon the cosmic bubble.

This is long. Let's translate: "By surpassing the body, surpassing the ceiling, surpassing the standby defense affairs covering the whole city, surpassing heaven and earth, until reaching the higher vision that stands upon the cosmic bubble." Need to keep meaning.

We'll produce: "By surpassing the body, surpassing the ceiling, surpassing the standby defense affairs that cover the entire city, surpassing heaven and earth, until reaching the higher vision that stands upon the cosmic bubble."

Is the guinea pig the protagonist? Then I… what, isn't this overly focused on female characters?!!"

"Huh…?"

Translation: "Hmm……?"

After all, for an omniscient and omnipotent being, because of the weight of its power, a little carelessness can bring enormous impact to the world. Therefore such beings either exercise extreme restraint, even self-binding, or have already caused catastrophes and are then closely monitored.

Even being struck down.

Translation: "Even being killed."

Although it's difficult to achieve, it's not impossible. Just as Indian mythology always has many invincible beings that can be killed by finding a loophole, the Holy Terra Federation, after establishing star gates and technical communication with multiple other worlds, also never lacks various clever ideas and heretical techniques.

Combining his own chemical knowledge with the tea seat's mystical knowledge, and adding the guinea pig's vision of higher-dimensional contact: whether it's the high-dimensional perception enhanced by Raybrando's remnant body, or the transcendent vision brought by the power of the star-eater Kidora, or the technical tools for simulating higher-dimensional vision borrowed from the Gray Crow Agency… This kind of experience that ordinary people rarely have in a lifetime, Aomo Linton has subtly possessed multiple times.

Translation: "Combining my own chemical knowledge with Chazuo's mystical knowledge, plus the guinea pig's vision of high-dimensional contact: whether it's the high-dimensional perception from the enhancement of Leblondo's remnant body, or the transcendent vision brought by the power of Star-Eater Ghidorah, or the technical tools simulating high-dimensional vision once borrowed from the Grey Raven Office—such an experience that ordinary people rarely have in a lifetime, Aomo Lindun has subtly possessed multiple experiences."

Of course, there is still risk.

Translation: "Of course, there are still risks."

There has never been a risk-free drug trial. Even though before this, everyone had grown accustomed to Suzi's various bizarre side effects, but the formal efficacy of these bizarre drugs was not bad either; after taking three successive doses, Aomo also experienced three kinds of peculiar side effects, inevitably drawing the tea seat's worried gaze.

Three transformations.

Translation: "Three transformations."

First, he turned transparent, his whole body like a floating suit set; then, as if long planned, he transformed into a horse girl, not only feminized into a black-haired big sister in the Bard style, but also grew a pair of large horse ears, and the clothing at his back was puffed out by a suddenly bulging horse tail, allowing Suzi to proudly smash his head with her fist.

Translation: "First, becoming transparent, the whole person seems like a floating suit set; then, as if premeditated horse-girl transformation, not only feminized into a black-haired big sister in the Bard style, but also growing a pair of large horse ears, with the clothing at the back being propped up by a suddenly bulging horse tail, allowing Suzi to proudly be struck on the head by her fist."

Aomo also didn't care how many photos those two little girls took, merely waiting for his center of gravity to return to the familiar standard, when he encountered the third side effect, which left his whole aura…

Very close to the black humanoid from the 'Ajin' work, the whole black mist turned into a humanoid, yet the head contour is the standard of a demonized form, indeed further breaking the balance between spirit and flesh.

One cannot deny that such a trainer would be more charming in the tea seat's eyes, and would make her feel an urge to immediately touch, grab, or stroke him; she is curious whether this state of the trainer would have tactile feedback.

After all, it's hard to ignore the hidden dangers of the trainer's condition.

Translation: "After all, it's hard to ignore the hidden dangers of the trainer's state."

This state, which resembles the shadow demon design from some game, ought to be best checked by spirit-body detection, but since spirit-body detection is useless now, what other way could be used to examine it?

Translation: "This state, which shares some similarity with the shadow demon form from a certain game, should originally be most useful for spirit-body detection, but since spirit-body detection is useless now, what other way can be used to check it?"

Just a failed product!

Translation: "Just a failed product!" We'll translate: "Just a failed product!"

Like having one's tail stepped on, Miss Suzi also couldn't help but be a bit cat‑like; when agitated she waves her hand and says, "If it really worked, what's so great about this side effect? Come on, tea seat!"

Translation: "Like the reaction of having one's tail stepped on, Miss Suzi also couldn't deny being a kind of cat; when anxious, she waves her hand: 'If this were truly successful, what's so outstanding about this side effect?

Translation: "You yourself aren't sure? It seems only this bottle of medicine is the most serious." We'll translate: "You yourself aren't sure? It seems only this bottle of medicine is the most serious."

Precision, that's it.

Precision, that's it.

Omo didn't want to be too rude; after waiting half an hour for her, he then adopted the tone of 'Chemistry is just about having mysteries, everyone pursues possibilities~' to ask for help, and he poked her forehead with his index finger.

Guinea Pig-kun! Guinea Pig-kun~!

Help help please~! Guinea pig!

Half an hour later, as someone had anticipated, the insight from nearly three years of getting along pointed to the classic— the classic begging pose of clenched fists shaking up and down.

Clearly, she herself already held several monster cards, and even made various bizarre attempts to study monster cards (for instance, cosplaying as human Karla Mira to use the Karla Mira card, seemingly cosplaying as a Sai person daughter?), although messy, she occasionally could enumerate some results, making her second in monster mastery within the Ophiuchus team.

Only behind Narita Bai Ren.

But the reason Bai Ren can rush to first place is something everyone understands; not being able to surpass him is no disgrace.

However, this is also limited to within the team.

Aomo Lindun is obviously in the out-of-class tier; while Suzi, after repeatedly trying and failing, becoming frustrated and starting to pursue efficiency, naturally wouldn't let slip the shortcut right beside her.

Soon, it was time to see the sparkling segment.

Spanning heaven and earth, touching the instant of omniscience and omnipotence, recognizing the cause of the current world stemming from countless people's expectations, and furthermore witnessing, amidst countless worlds, one's own depressed and unfulfilled self.

And that black shadow that accompanies oneself in countless worlds.

It turns out she was always...?
