I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Succubus Yin Nuo’er

“Maoyu Milk… 99 new publications, Hmm… I can’t read the rest.”

“Reitaisai 15, sir… How do you translate this? This is a book by MuQ.”

“?Starting Today as a Female Elementary School Student?, author Uzuna… This doesn’t seem to be a succubus… but it’s also about an old man turning into a girl… Eh, why am I talking about this again?”

In the early morning, after finishing my daily morning work, I sat alone in the lounge of the Shangjing Cafe, staring blankly at the pink interface on my phone.

Research data indicates… The demon race in the other world is different from humans, beast-eared girls, and other such races. They are not originally local residents.

In simpler terms, the demon race might be “aliens.”

To say “aliens” might not even be accurate, they should be considered “void people.”

Because the demons of Grandis are not only not creatures from that planet, they might not even be from that universe.

Little demon Ophelia told me that in Grandis’ millions of years of research, their planet has actually suffered many “extraterrestrial civilization” attacks.

Grandis’ technology is indeed very backward, but their magic is highly developed.

The people there generally lack culture, but over time, some scholars have shown interest in the stars, such as some long-lived species like the quirky elves, dragons, angels, and so on. In times of peace, with nothing much to do, they would observe various natural phenomena, then record their observations and write down their understandings.

Over time, these “ancient records” have become the “scientific preface” of today.

Grandis is like an enhanced version of Earth. It has everything that Earth has, and things Earth doesn’t have, such as magic, elements, and battle energy.

Earth has rabbits, and Grandis also has rabbits. However, besides the weakest rabbits, Grandis also has “battle rabbits,” “magic rabbits,” “plague-infected rabbits,” “ferocious battle rabbits,” “realm rabbits,” “conspiracy rabbits,” “divine rabbits,” and so on.

In other words, some of Earth’s laws also apply in Grandis, but Grandis provides additional explanations and numerous unobservable phenomena for these laws.

For example, the phenomenon of gravity. On Earth, it is plainly said that “ripe apples fall down.”

There’s no problem with this. In Grandis, ripe fruits also fall down, but if there’s an elemental field around the apple tree, or an elemental storm like the one that appeared on the Lizardmen Island, then ripe apples might not fall down, might be drawn into the air, or might get dehydrated by a nearby “water element domain” and turn into dried apples. All these factors greatly interfere with the scientists of Grandis.

On Earth, it is common knowledge that ripe apples fall down, and scientists quickly relate this to gravity.

But in Grandis, ripe apples might fall down, float up, or even explode. It’s indeed quite challenging for the few scientists there to study the scientific principles behind such occurrences.

Therefore, even though the planet Grandis has a history longer than Earth’s, the “scientific phenomena” recorded by intelligent beings here aren’t significantly more numerous than on Earth.

Even great scholars like Ophelia only know that their planet is a sphere, flying outwards leads to the atmosphere, the moon above is a satellite, and the stars visible at night are planets similar to their own. If you ask them about the Roche limit or the first cosmic velocity, they won’t have an answer.

As a result, I didn’t get much useful information about the universe of Grandis from Ophelia, they themselves haven’t fully grasped the specific concept of the universe.

Interestingly, Grandis has almost always been victorious in the recorded instances of “alien invasions”—those aliens simply couldn’t defeat the native inhabitants of this planet.

Aliens, with their advanced technology, traveling through space in their spacecraft, were easily annihilated by a few forbidden spellcasters upon arriving in Grandis, and this has been the case for millions of years.

However, Ophelia did tell me that the “void” is the “vacuum region” between two universes. Her understanding of the concept has expanded to the cosmic level, and the demon race came from this “void.” Besides reproducing in the same way as humans, the demon race has another method to “inherit” their genetic information, which is through “forbidden spells.”

It is said that the concept of forbidden spells itself was brought by the demon race from the void. Forbidden spells like soul forbidden spells, spatial forbidden spells, and life forbidden spells, which Xiao Mo learned, are all products of the void.

Moreover, demons, according to Ophelia, are a race similar to humans of Grandis, capable of adapting to Grandis’ magic. With so many “extraterrestrial beings,” it’s not surprising that a race could adapt to Grandis, just like humans piloting alien spaceships would eventually find a habitable planet.

The “genetics” of the demon race is rather abstract and requires me to abandon human biases to understand it. For instance, Vivi’s “exercise” is equivalent to human “rest.”

We habitually think of “rest” as comfortable because, as humans, exercise requires energy, and expending energy increases our risk in the wild. “Rest” feels comfortable because it doesn’t require energy and makes us feel secure. However, for Vivi, an undead, this understanding is entirely opposite. “Exercise” makes them happy and feel alive.

Similarly, the “genetics” of demons is different. As a human, I’m used to the reproductive rules of Earth’s organisms.

I instinctively think that if two individuals want a child, the father and mother must be together, with the father providing half the genetic information and the mother providing the other half, and then the mother nurturing the life. This is our ingrained thinking.

But for the demon race, as beings from the “void,” Ophelia said that wanting offspring does not rely solely on “biological reproduction.”

There is another method of procreation: “soul reproduction.”

Using forbidden spells as the vessel and souls as the seeds of life, they nurture their offspring.

“That’s why we always firmly believe that Lady Diwu is the Queen.”

Ophelia explained this to me at the time.

“Lady Diwu and Lady Momo are both demons. Lady Diwu was born from one of Momo’s forbidden spells. From an ordinary person’s perspective, one might think you are purely a magical being. But… isn’t it possible that for demons, as beings from the void, collecting souls first and then creating a body is their proper method of reproduction?”

“My understanding of the void is still very limited, but my intuition tells me that Lady Diwu’s identity is not simple. The secrets within might only be uncovered when you grow up.”

So, after obtaining this heap of confusing information, I returned to Earth and have been searching for information related to “succubi.”

There are many works on a certain pink app, but most of them are not what I need.

It feels like, with my current abilities, taking down Xiao Mo still seems very difficult.

“What are you doing?”

In a daze, I heard the door to the lounge creak open. Xiao Mo, in her work dress, walked in from outside.

“The customers outside are increasing, you know?”

“I’m coming.”

Hearing this, I quickly put down my phone, jogged over to Xiao Mo, and planted a sudden kiss on her cheek.

“What’s this about?”

Xiao Mo seemed a bit surprised by my sudden move.

“Do you want something?”

“No, no!”

I shook my head repeatedly.

“If, just if, I fully awakened my demon form but didn’t use magic, would that let me take the initiative?”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Xiao Mo gave me a look like I was a silly little girl—

“You can try.”

“……”
