Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



Hikaru glanced around, he used all his senses to try to locate Daziro but he couldn't find him.

"Looks like he ran away." Laylah said, she frowned as she looked at the glass separating this room from the tunnel that had been slightly opened.

"Oh! It seems… he really does look like a cockroach. If he gets hit, he will quickly run away."

Laylah sighed and nodded. She knew that if Daziro was still alive, she would meet him again one day.

"Hikaru, have you thought this through?" Laylah suddenly asked.

Hikaru knew what she was talking about, he smiled and said, "Of course. Like I said, in order for you to be able to cooperate with me with peace of mind, you also need to be mentally stable."

"Besides… a place filled with suffering like this should also be destroyed. I don't care much about how effective the weapons in this place are."

"The most important thing is you."

After saying that, Hikaru also felt a little nauseous. In fact, his heart was bleeding, an arsenal of high-tech weapons as terrifying as this must be destroyed.

Hikaru really wanted to cry, the most painful thing was that he had to be the one to destroy this place.

[Master, don't you feel something strange?]

"Of course." Hikaru used his thoughts to communicate with Rika: "The plots of the novels overlap illogically."

"If I'm not mistaken, Delmor will probably get a lot of high-tech weapons from this place. He can even mass produce this  technology and also know how to create a lot of evolved humans."

"I finally understood why the System wanted me to destroy this place rather than rob it of everything."

"If Delmor were to take over any of the technology in this place, plus his Craft item ability, he would surely grow incredibly powerful."

[That's right. Delmor is the main character motif of novels in the genre of  main characters that are leaders. If he were to be able to mass produce evolved humans, he would definitely become extremely dangerous.]

Hikaru agreed with Rika. Although the technologies in this place were extremely complicated, it was impossible for ordinary people to understand and use them.

However, as Delmor is the main character, he will surely find a way to use the technologies in this research center with ease.

With the protagonist's aura, nothing is impossible.

However, Hikaru also began to feel that the plot arrangement of this world was starting to overlap quite a bit.

Hikaru thought to himself that perhaps his method of using a protagonist to destroy a protagonist would work.

While Hikaru was communicating with Rika, Laylah looked at him strangely. After a while, she said, "Good, I know how to destroy this place, follow me."

After Laylah said that, she happily walked out of the room.

Hikaru scowled after her, even though he didn't know why she was so happy, he still followed behind her.

As they left the room, Laylah used her vague memories to find an unremarkable place in the tunnel.

This place was a normal wall, with no whimsical intentions. But Laylah put her hand on the wall, then pressed hard against it.

Suddenly, the wall retracted inwards, revealing a solid steel door.

Laylah continued to enter the password according to her memory, then the steel door opened, and inside was another corridor.

Laylah and Hikaru entered the corridor, and after walking for about 100 meters, they met another door.

This door had absolutely no number plate to enter the password, it was like a steel plate in the middle of the corridor.

Laylah glanced at Hikaru, and Hikaru looked at her.

Ten seconds later, Laylah said, "Why are you standing still?"

"Heh?! What do you mean?"

"I don't know the password, so you should open the door."

"Are you stupid? I also don't know the password, how can I open the door."

"Then use your ax and your superpower."

Hikaru: "..."

He felt a bit of a headache, and while rubbing his temple, he said, "Laylah, if that's the case then you should have just told me to break the door in the first place, wouldn't it have been faster?"

"Also why were you entering all the passwords like you already know everything in this place?"

"Ah! Are you scolding me?" Laylah pouted her lips, making a pitiful expression: "Are you scolding a poor girl with an unhappy childhood like me?"

"Huhuhu… you are not human, and you are not man."

Hikaru: "..."

He sighed, then swung his ax, slashing out three streaks of light in the shape of a triangle.

The streaks of light easily cut through the steel plate, revealing a huge triangular hole.

However, behind the steel barrier just now was another steel barrier.

Hikaru frowned, and continued to cut the steel plate with 3 more streaks of light.

The 7 steel plates in a row made Hikaru a little impatient: "What the hell is this? What does this place contain that has so many layers of protection?"

"Of course something that can destroy this place." Laylah shrugged it off.

In the end, in front of them was not a plate of steel but a sheet of glass.

However, it was a one-way mirror, so the reflections of Laylah and Hikaru were displayed on the mirror. They also couldn't see what was behind the glass.

Hikaru was about to swing the ax when Laylah said, "Wait!"

"Hm? Do you know the password?" Hikaru asked, frowning, his voice filled with teasing.

"No, I feel like behind this glass is what we need to find. Don't use that streak of light to attack it, or you'll damage what's behind this glass."

Hikaru nodded, and carefully used the ax blade to cut the glass in front of him in the shape of a small doorway.

The ax blade was extremely sharp, as soon as it touched the glass, it cut it like a piece of paper.

Laylah felt a little surprised seeing that. She thought that only the streak of light cut by that ax was sharp, but she didn't think that the blade of the ax was much sharper.

Hikaru easily cut the glass,  revealing a room behind the glass.

There weren't too many things in the room like Hikaru and Laylah thought.

The room was only about 40 square meters wide, in the middle of the room there was only a giant cylinder of transparent glass. Inside that cylinder was a blue liquid.

Floating in the middle of that giant cylinder was a black stone resembling a coal, emitting an eerie black light.

To the left of the room was a set of machines that looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. On the right is a bookshelf, and on the shelf there are many documents.

Laylah suddenly entered the room, she did not rush to the cylinder containing the strange stone.

She went to the bookshelf on the right side of the room. The bookshelf was more than 3 meters high, and more than 5 meters long, on top of which there were countless bizarre documents.

However, in the middle of the bookshelf were two dolls and a picture. Hikaru stood behind Laylah, so he could clearly see that the two dolls were both made of cloth, and seemingly hand-sewn.

However, Hikaru was able to recognize that the two dolls were modeled after Laylah, while the other doll… was a bit like Ryrlia.

'Strange... why do I feel like Ryrlia is related to Laylah.'

'Or is it… because the plots overlap, Laylah and Ryrlia have known each other since childhood?'

'Wait! That picture is…'

Hikaru now noticed the picture placed in the middle. It seems to be the most solemn place of the entire bookshelf.

It was easy to see and easy to reach.

In the picture, a woman with slightly curly black hair, wearing a white blouse was sitting on grass.

The girl's arms were holding two little girls, a brown haired girl who looked a bit like Laylah. Hikaru could tell that it was Laylah when she was young.

The other child had slightly curly blond hair, like… Amanda Ryrlia as a child.

Hikaru felt like he had been struck by lightning because he was able to prove that his speculations were right.

'Just as I thought. The world is chaotic, the plots overlap illogically. Looks like… Ryrlia has indeed known Laylah since childhood.'

'They were all born from this research center and were research subjects.'

Hikaru looked to the right corner of the photo, there was a text that helped him once again confirm his thoughts.

"Alissa, Ryrlia, Laylah… May 10, 2005… forever together, forever happy."

Laylah reached for the two dolls and the picture. She gently brushed the dust off them, then hugged them.

Suddenly, Laylah lowered her head, slumped on the ground, and tears started streaming down her face.

Hikaru didn't have time to care about Laylah, he knew she was probably remembering the past.

He shrugged, and moved towards the cylinder containing the blue liquid and the eerie black stone.

[Master, don't you care about Laylah?]

Rika's voice suddenly resounded in his head. Hikaru shrugged and said, "Don't bother her, she's in an evolved state."

[Evolved status.]

"That's right. Like in the novels or manga we've read. The main characters suddenly remember their painful past, or their friendship."

"Then… the main character who receives the power of friendship, suddenly becomes unreasonably strong."

"Laylah is also a main character, so she's definitely in a state of recalling the past."

[Oh! That's how it is…]

Hikaru really didn't care about Laylah, she was in the process of evolving anyway thanks to the power of memories.

What he cares about is what this cylinder contains, was it something useful to him?

Hikaru approached the cylinder, he frowned as he pondered how to remove the black stone inside.

He didn't dare to thoughtlessly destroy this cylinder. He was also not stupid, he knew that the liquid and stone in this cylinder must be very dangerous so there were many layers of barriers outside.

Suddenly, a notice board from the system appeared in front of Hikaru.

[Ding! Congratulations on discovering the hidden plot. You have discovered the 'Philosopher's Stone', if you destroy it or use it, Delmor will almost lose his ability to continue as a protagonist.]
