Before Hikaru could swallow the pill, it dissolved in his mouth and then, an unpleasant feeling spread throughout his body.
Hikaru felt that his body was being stretched like a balloon, the pain that hit his mind made him want to scream but he couldn't make a sound.
If there were people around, his condition would be seen as dire. His whole body swelled up like a balloon, and his skin stretched to the point of tearing like sheets, and blood stains could be seen all over the bed.
However, Hikaru's consciousness soon fell into darkness. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were a bit familiar.
This place was a blindingly white space that Hikaru had seen before when he used the Reborn card. He also saw the man he previously saw and he still couldn't see the man clearly because there was a layer of fog surrounding him.
The man was standing under an old tree, and he was looking ahead. In front of him were multiple screens, each showing different people.
He looked closely and saw that those people were all players and this scared him. It turned out that everything he did was being monitored by this mysterious person.
The mysterious person seemed to notice Hikaru's presence and looked towards him. Hikaru trembled, even though he couldn't see the mysterious person's face, he could still feel the person's gaze.
Hikaru felt so small, he was like an ant being stared at by a giant.
The mysterious person stared at Hikaru, and muttered: "So strange, I can't follow you, and I can't see your future too. Perhaps… you are exactly what I am looking for."
"Wait! Why do you have the world's will energy on your body? This energy… is strong, but this energy is also dying."
"It's weird! Who are you? That energy.. It's not the same as the world's will energy of Misty World."
Hikaru saw the mysterious person but did not hear what that person said, he only knew that the person was staring at him.
The mysterious person rubbed his chin and looked at Hikaru like he was looking at a strange creature, then he stretched out his hand to do something to Hikaru.
"Stop!"
A voice rang out causing the mysterious person to immediately stop moving. Of course, Hikaru couldn't hear the sound that had just resounded.
Soon after, Hikaru disappeared from this dimension, leaving only the mysterious person and another person. If Hikaru was still here, he would definitely recognize that person as Rika.
Rika stood facing the mysterious person, blood on her feet.
Although Rika was only less than 150cm tall, and she had wounds all over her body, and two black holes in her eyes that were bleeding, the mysterious person looked at her with apprehension.
What he was afraid of wasn't Rika's appearance but the power she was emitting.
Behind Rika, the white space turned black, and in that space, there were countless monsters, and screaming souls, which made the scene more terrifying than hell.
The mysterious person trembled slightly when he saw Rika. He tried to suppress his fear, and said: "You are..."
"You don't need to know who I am."
Rika replied, her voice which echoed in unison with all the monsters and spirits behind her scared the mysterious person.
"As long as you do your job well, Hikaru's existence won't affect you. On the contrary, your plans will require him in the future."
The mysterious person who heard this pondered for a moment, then said: "How can I trust you?"
Rika shook her head and said: "You have no choice. Don't test my patience."
As soon as Rika finished speaking, a black tentacle from the hellish space on Rika's back wrapped around the mysterious man's neck, and he didn't realize how it happened .
The mysterious man trembled, he clearly felt that he was standing in front of the gates of hell and that If he moved, he would surely die.
The mysterious person was very scared, after a while, he said: "I understand."
"Good! I Hope you really understand." Rika said that and disappeared, the space then returned to its normal white color and it was as if she had never existed in this place.
The mysterious man reached out his still-shaking hand to touch his neck. He felt lucky to still be alive. The mysterious man sighed and muttered, "It's horrible. It turns out that there are still such terrifying existences in this world."
…
After leaving the white space, Hikaru woke up. He felt that all the pain had disappeared, and it was replaced by a feeling of comfort. He also felt strength overflowing in his body.
"Open the personal information panel."

…
Seeing his stats increase by so much, Hikaru was overjoyed. Suddenly, the Void Hole appeared in front of Hikaru, and he discovered that its shape had changed, as it was slightly larger than before.
If before, the Void Hole was as big as a basketball, now its current diameter had reached a meter. Besides, Hikaru also felt that its weight had increased by a lot.
Suddenly, Rika's voice resounded: [the Void Hole is your own weapon, as you get stronger, the Void Hole will also get stronger. Currently, its weight is 5 times your entire stats.]
Hikaru was scared when he heard that. His total stats were currently 9 million, and 5 times that was more than 45,000,000; so currently, the Void Hole weighed 45,000 tons.
Although the Void Hole was extremely heavy, and it weighed as much as a mountain, when it was in his hand, he felt it was as light as a tennis ball.
However, the weight of the Void Hole caused the space around it to deform, and even if it was stationary, any object that came close to it would be crushed to ash by it.
Hikaru suddenly realized that the place where he was sitting was wet and smelly. He looked down and was startled, as the whole mattress was soaked with blood and it also smelled fishy.
Hikaru got off the bed and sighed, he thought for a while and decided to use the Void Hole to crush the bed to ashes. Hikaru thought that if he changed the mattress and kept this one here, he wouldn't know how to explain the smell to Anno.
Therefore, he decided to destroy it, and move a new bed into the room.
…
In Anno's private room, she was lying on the bed, her face clearly thinking about what she shouldn't be thinking about.
"Anno..."
A voice suddenly rang out, Anno seemed to have been aware of the person before, so she was not startled. She smiled and said: "Mom, why are you looking for me?"
Selvih sat next to Anno, she then sighed and said, "Anno, why are you doing this?"
"What?" Anno turned to look at Selvih, her face full of slyness.
When Selvih saw Anno's expression, she did not know what to do. She couldn't get angry at her. Why? Because she treated Anno like her daughter, and she only did this to help her find true love.
She was in a Dilemma. She was a little unsure how to talk about this with Anno. Anyway Anno loved Hikaru, but She also loved Him, and the relationship was too chaotic. She was afraid that if she spoke, then their relationship would definitely fall apart.
However, Selvih didn't understand why Anno helped Hikaru get close to her . If so, wouldn't Anno share Hikaru with another woman? Even if that person was her mother, Anno would accept it.
Selvih could only sigh, she said: "Anno, I'm so sorry."
As soon as Selvih finished speaking, Anno rushed into Selvih's arms and hugged her tightly.
"Mom, you don't need to apologize, you don't have to thank me too. I know you are very lonely. Over the past 2,500 years, I have been able to see your efforts and loneliness clearly. You deserve happiness, and I don't want to see you alone."
When Selvih heard this she hugged Anno tightly, she asked: "Since when?"
Anno knew what Selvih was asking her, so she smiled and said: "Since you led Hikaru to your secret cave."
Selvih was a bit surprised, she said: "You weren't sleeping then?"
Anno smiled and replied, "Because I know my mother's past, so I know how to protect myself. That's why I learned magic that can resist hypnosis, sleep, or the like."
"Mom, at that time I knew you liked Hikaru. However, I still wanted to confirm it once more."
Selvih smiled and said: "Is that why you told me about Duraxi?"
Anno sighed and said: "That's right. When a person is desperate, they lose their outer shell. I was right, mom, you love Hikaru right?"
Selvih gently nodded. She didn't understand why either, but she couldn't control her emotions.
Anno looked up into Selvih's eyes, she smiled and said: "Don't worry about what others say. Mom, there's nothing wrong with loving the same man. What is wrong is not pursuing your happiness."
Selvih's eyes turned red, tears welling up in her eyes. At this point, she was no longer a cold-blooded queen, possessing the power to frighten others. She was just a weak woman who pursued what people called happiness.
Selvih wiped her tears then patted Anno's head, she sighed and said: "You're getting weirder and weirder, I don't know what you are thinking about anymore ."
Anno laughed and replied, "Mom, you taught me that as a member of the royal family, you have to wear many masks. Aren't I doing a great job?"
…
In the living room, Hikaru waited for Anno so that he could talk about changing the bed. Besides, he didn't know what Anno thought about him and Selvih.
Women's thoughts were extremely unpredictable.
Even though Anno had said that he would support him and Selvih, he was still unsure because Selvih was not Anno's biological mother, but the relationship was very dysfunctional.
Also, Selvih was the queen of a huge kingdom, if this was revealed her honor would be lost. The loss of a queen's honor would not only affect Selvih, but also the Dark-Elf Royal Family and the Dark-Elf Kingdom.
Hikaru could only sigh now, as he hoped that things wouldn't be too bad.
"Hikaru."
Suddenly, Anno's voice rang out. Hikaru looked towards Anno's room and saw her opening the door to call him: "Hikaru, can you… can you come into my room?"
Hikaru frowned, a little confused, he asked: "Is something wrong?"
Although he found this confusing, he still approached the door of the room. Suddenly, Anno took Hikaru's hand and pulled him into the room, startling him.
