Why am I so unlucky tely that I end up attracting all those weirdos ? First Allison, then that annoying girl and now this kid.

  Despite her appearance, she was far from cute. I mean what the hell is up with this straight up disgusting smile ?

  "You're not a child, you're a mistake."

  The kid ughed at my comment, as if amused by what I said.

  "You're funny, Miss. It's a shame I have to kill you, in the world I'm going to create, we could have had so much fun."

  She pointed her bag towards me, the tentacles heading straight in my direction.

  "Ew, I don't want those things to touch me."

  I jumped above them, expertly dodging them, putting one hand on the ground, lifting my whole body with a single hand.

  "Who knew those gymnastics lessons were gonna come in handy ?"

  Unbothered by the fact I dodged her attack, the kid continued to walk towards me. The smile on her face not disappearing for a single moment.

  "N'tuktulu."

  She said, presenting the front of her bag to my body.

  Suddenly, I could feel a weird sensation in my hand, like there were worms inside of it.

  As I looked at it, it was completely defted. Trying to move it, I was met with no response.

  My hand getting more and more bizarre, I fell face ft on the ground.

  "Why the hell is everything around us bck ?!"

  "This is the Dome of Madness. A space mother lets me use out of her kindness. In here, my powers are amplified."

  Dome of Madness ? What's with this psychopathic kid ? Was this what kids these days were up to ?

  I remember clearly that when I was a kid...

  Actually, I'd rather not think about what happened back then.

  "Ah, right !"

  I thought about the appearance of my hand before it became like a pitiful outdated piece of meat.

  "And back in shape !"

  "This beauty manipution power of yours is a bummer. Even if I alter the shape, you can always bring it back to it's initial state."

  She looked straight into my golden eyes.

  "That's not even the full extent of it, those eyes of yours, she blessed them, didn't she ? I'm fairly certain I targeted your head earlier. Of course, I don't expect you to turn into confettis since you're an apostle but it should have done some damage to your brain. It's like attacks whose intents are to alter your body don't fully work on you. After all, I intended to make your hand explode."

  "Release me from this pce, this is your st warning, kid !"

  She moved her bag down,an array of tentacles raining down on me.

  Jessica, mine child, is this pitiful showing supposed to impress our magnanimity ?

  "(Shut up ! First of all, If you didn't tell me I could heal myself, I would have no idea ! Maybe if you made yourself useful and taught me how to use this power, we wouldn't be here !)"

  Thy stuborness rivals even Zeus, my dear child. With beauty, comes imagination, that much is obvious.

  "(I don't have time for riddles !)"

  That needle in your feeble hands, is a gift bestowed from we to you. It is a vehicle for your power. Just like this Child of Outer Pnes uses this possession of hers as a vehicle to manifest her powers.

  Golden threads were forming a circle around the little girl's backpack, to her annoyance.

  I get it, Venus or whatever it is is giving me a hand other there. Seems like she can't see her.

  "Tch. Figured it out."

  If I remember correctly, she said I need to use the silver needle I hold in my hand as a vehicle for these powers.

  I have the ability to manipute the appearance of all things as long as the modification aligns with my vision of beauty.

  She opened her bagpack again, ballons coming out of it.

  "If we're doing this, we have to do it right. After all, a world where we can't have fun is not a world I wanna live in. You see, my vision for this world is to create the perfect pyground."

  She ughed in her breath, the cackles echoing into this null space.

  "In a world dominated by madness, the idea of breathtaking fun is the predominent one. That is why if my vision overtakes the ones of every other apostles, everyone will turn back into a child."

  "Huh?"

  This girl was definitely mad, the pace at which she said her sentences, her erratic movements and deranged smile made it obvious.

  Even though I didn't ask for her blessing, Venus machinations already seemed to be a better deal than whatever was maniputing that kid.

  " If everyone become a child again and have to live like this for eternity, it would be pure bliss."

  " That's nonsense, your vision is only backed up by the preconceived notion everything needs to be fun in life."

  Her smile finally disappeared.

  "I don't want to live in a world where my happiness was fabricated. I will never go back to the years I was younger !"

  "I see. You're the type to live for yourself and yourself alone. You truly are a selfish one."

  I threw my needle at her bag, trying to remove it from her hand. It fell for one moment, before immediately going back to her hand.

  "What's wrong with being selfish ? I would rather live for myself than for others. Creating a world just to put someone's else desires above yours is only a sign you have no desires of your own."

  For some reason, that comment made her really angry. Fifty tentacles coming out of her bag and constricting me.

  "Y-You're wrong! Ctü desires and mine only happen to be the same !"

  Ctü ? What in the actual hell is Ctü ?

  "Maybe I misjudged you, Miss ! Don't tell me you're just like those good for nothing adults ! I'm right ! I always have been !"

  The dark energy from her body and her bag was getting stronger, the air turning heavier.

  "Hm ?"

  As the needle returned to my hand, it scratched her face. To my surprise, she was unable to notice it until it hit her.

  "Imagination, huh ? I suppose I could try."
