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



(MC POV)

"We need to talk."

I looked up from where I was busy combing Cai Hong's hair. Those four words were something that I definitely would not have expected to hear from Iris.

It had been a few weeks after the date with my disciples. I've been going back to check on the new World I created but since it's completely new, nothing's really happening on it so far

Even with that, things have gone back to usual so it's a surprise to see Iris say that to me right now when everyone was enjoying our day as usual.

She was even looking at me with serious eyes instead of the usual look which told me that she was not joking around.

My other disciples were also gathered around me and even they knew something was odd just from the tone of her voice.

"What is it, Iris?" I asked.

She kept her eyes on me, "Master has already regained your memories and power, so I believe Master should return to the centre of the Universe soon."

"Eh? What's with the sudden change? Why do I even need to go back there?"

"Because with Master here, the Universe has also started to change. I figured that Master might not want something like that to happen so I decided to warn you."

"Eh? How is it changing?"

Iris reached out her hand and a projection of the universe was created in the air, showing the galaxies revolving around the centre of the universe.

Elaria gasped at the sight, "Is that…"

I nodded, "A projection of the universe? Yes it is. But what is this about, Iris?"

She pointed to the centre of the map, "As Master knows, the Universe is centred around you. Right now, we are here."

She shifted her finger upwards a short distance to point at one of the galaxies.

I raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I am aware of that… I still don't understand how that's important?"

"Master, when I say that the Universe is centred around you, I really mean that it's centred around you."

She then moved her hand to the side, which caused the other galaxies to suddenly shift as they seem to be sling shotted out of their usual path to crash into one another, obliterating several galaxies all at once.

"Why… Why did that happen?" Tsuki asked, my little sister fully aware of the ramifications of such an event if it were to come true.

I turned to Iris, "It's because of me isn't it? The universe is supposed to revolve around me and now that I've moved to another part of the universe, the 'centre' of the universe is now here. And because of that shift, the other galaxies would crash into one another while trying to readjust their paths…"

"That is correct, Master," She nodded solemnly.

"In that case, can't I just make it such that the universe doesn't shift from its course?"

"Master might be able to do that, but the old you had created this Universe with you being the centre  in mind. To change that, Master would need to break apart the very fabric of the Universe and alter it. Which would essentially be remaking the Universe again, carrying the risk of the Universe unravelling completely. I would have to advise against doing that, Master."

"But didn't Master move from place to place back then? Even Master didn't stay in the centre of the Universe all this time," Lian Li pointed out.

I clapped my hands together, "The egg!"

Iris let a small smile creep onto her face, "It's not exactly an egg, Master, but a great portion of your power that you left behind. And yes, it substitutes for you to be in the centre of the Universe to maintain it."

"Then in that case, I can just do it again, can't I?"

The white haired girl showed me a rare sad smile.

The fact that she made a face like that made me check omniscience for what would happen if I were to attempt something like that.

…

Ah… Because I have made it such that the universe has to revolve around 'me', to shed off a part of it is equivalent to shedding a part of myself as well.

That means I would lose a part of my memories and even my emotions too… Which may lead to me forgetting about my disciples and having no emotions…

Avoiding such a fate is possible but that would require some time as I would need to create another 'me' that the universe could revolve around. As this other 'me' needs to be something the universe recognizes as the one who created it, it's not as simple as just willing it into existence like the other split bodies I have made before.

The estimated time needed for me to do that far surpasses the time left before the universe gets moved off course and several galaxies would be undoubtedly lost by then.

Perhaps I could just simply reverse time to prevent such a thing from happening?

'Or Master could simply just move to the centre of the Universe for a period of time to work on it? That should be good enough, right Master?'

·ƈθm Ah… I admit that I completely overlooked that possibility… 

I suppose I could simply relocate to the centre of the universe for some time while I work on coming up with a way to avoid the universe destroying itself without me being there…

"Just to make sure… You're not scheming anything again that would benefit you… Are you, Iris?" I asked.

She giggled, "Ufufufu~ I'll have to admit that preventing the universe from destroying itself would most certainly benefit me~ Not to mention the fact that I would be able to stay with Master and enjoy my time with everyone else too~ That would most certainly benefit me too."

Ok, ok, I get it. At least I know that she's being genuine this time and she isn't planning to do something bad again.

That's why I turned to my disciples and looked them in the eye.

"What do you all say we go on an extended vacation to the centre of the universe?"
