What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?-Novel

Chapter 1006 Understanding My Own Power

(MC POV)

"Ah, so Daddy is looking for that Usurper?" Lilith asked while clinging to my side, trying her best to ignore Cai Hong who was clinging to my other side.

I nodded, "I locked him within this World itself, but he could be anywhere, maybe not even in this Plane."

"Hmm… Do you know what he looks like, Daddy?"

"Well, he took my form, so me, I guess?"

"Oh! Then that's easy! Daddy can just search for the people in this World who look like you, right? You don't even need to--"

"MASTER?! WHO IS THAT?!!"

All of us turned to see two very angry girls glaring at Lilith. Needless to say, it was Lian Li and Manami.

Unperturbed by the hostile glares, Lilith turned to me, "Daddy… Who are those noisy bitches?"

"DADDY?!!" They screeched, already marching up to her with lightning and fire cackling in their hands.

I raised up my hand, "Ok, ok, everyone calm down. Lilith here is a… Well… Umm… I guess you could say that I created her in the past."

That got them to stop in their tracks.

"Created?" Lian Li parroted, her eyes darting between me and the demoness. "Did Master give birth to her?"

I waved my hand, "It's complicated. She's just here to help me find someone who stole something from me."

"Ara, ara? Who is so daring to even dare to steal something from Master? Just point me in that direction and I'll teach that trash a good lesson, Master~"

If it was the normal Manami saying that, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But for this version of Manami, her words sent a shiver down my spine.

The fact that her eyes seemed to glow when she said that probably had something to do with it too.

"Ummm… There's no need for that. Have you two finished your runs?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

"Of course, Master!" Lian Li replied enthusiastically.

"In that case, you can begin your usual morning routines after your breakfast and if you do well, I'll give the two of you a reward."

"Ara? Is Master not joining us?"

"No, I still have some questions I want to ask Lilith here, I'll join you two later."

"Ufufufu~ I see… But if Master were to end up sleeping with her too… We may need to cut some people off…" She giggled, pulling out a knife from under her sleeve.

Why the hell does she have a knife under her sleeve?

With that said, the both of them left my room, their eyes never leaving me until the door closed. At least I successfully deflected the topic away from Lilith…

I wanna go back home already… Who knew that people would change so much from just a single time travel event?

"What were you saying again, Lilith?" I asked, already trying to get this done and over with, completely regretting my decision of finding my disciples first.

"Unn… Like I said, Daddy can simply use your Origin to find anyone who looks like you within this World, you wouldn't even need to resort to looking for helpers at all. Heck, even if he changed his looks, you can just look for anyone with his concentration of Origin energy in them and you'll find him."

"Can I even do that?"

"Daddy… It's easier to list out things you can't do."

"Oh? So what can I not do?"

She giggled, "Well, nothing actually."

I frowned at her, "But I tried to use Origin to wipe that guy from existence but I couldn't do it?"

"If Daddy really wanted to, there's a lot of ways that you can… Ah… I don't think I'm supposed to talk about it."

"Why not?"

"This is… Well… Kind of taboo? There's the belief that the Universe might End if we talk about it or something. Like it's considered bad to even discuss the extent of Daddy's capabilities. Some of us think it's just superstition but it's better to be safe than sorry, I guess?"

No, I can see why such a thinking might be established. If I were to be intimately aware of exactly what I can do, then there's a lot more ways that I might End the universe inadvertently.

This must have happened in some universes where the previous me got an idea on how to manipulate Origin which resulted in the destruction of the universe of that time. Thus, the thinking that giving me more ideas on how to use Origin was thus made taboo.

Did the past me intentionally limit my own understanding of my power to stop myself from destroying the universe, omniscience?

Apparently omniscience couldn't tell me the answer either because there was no Origin for such an event either, so there's a high chance it never happened or I had removed the Origin of it entirely.

Thinking about it now, I don't even believe it's a good idea either. Doesn't this just make me want to experiment and in doing so, also create the possibility of ending the universe?

…

Oh… If that happens, then it's just decided it's simply the fate of that universe and I'll just move on.

To me, universes being created and destroyed is just another thing that happens every other day apparently.

Ugh, I know why the past me would feel so disconnected but I certainly don't want to end up like him.

I only just thought about the possibility for a moment and I could already come up with the idea of severing the flow of Origin tied to this World to flush him out, but that would also result in this entire World ceasing to exist.

Yeah, pretty dangerous stuff… Emotionless me might have just done it without a second thought. Imagine that on a galactic scale, that's not going to be pretty.

I'm starting to feel just how big of a responsibility I have for having this power…

Actually, that's incorrect, it wasn't even a responsibility. I don't owe anyone anything. If I were to decide that the universe should End, then it will End and no one can tell me otherwise.

Quite a scary thought.

Anyway, for now, let's just keep to the more tame idea of just searching for him. I have a feeling if I were to attempt anything else, I might just tear a hole in the space time continuum which may or may not result in the entire universe resetting itself back to the very beginning.

I don't know why I feel like that's a possibility, but I think I shouldn't question my gut feeling.

Ok, now I just need to find the origin of anyone that looks like me that currently exists in this World.

Instantly, I got one result which was pointing towards my room so I knew that was pointing to me.

The second ping I got was… On the other side of the Sect?

No way… Seriously?

He had the whole entire World to hide in and he chose to hide within the same Plane and even somewhere nearby?

Ok, I admit, they do say that sometimes the most dangerous place is also the safest place and I certainly didn't go look for him around here, but was that really why he's here?

I guess… I should go there and say hello now?
