Chapter 534: Chapter 275: Phantom of the Future (Part 2)
The mortal body was remade and reborn. Her initial spirituality lay dormant and ignorant, akin to that of a newborn. It wasn’t until she was five that she awakened her previous mories, and after a long slumber, fully integrated them, startling her into a cold sweat.
The Empire was supposed to invade when she was six! With only a year left, there was no way she could beco strong in ti; not to ntion reaching peak power, even achieving the Excellence Realm was exceedingly difficult because controlling magic power was tied to the strength of spirituality, which in turn depended on the growth of the body.
ii put all her efforts into enhancing her strength, prepared for a desperate fight, but in her sixth year, the Empire did not co, nor in her seventh, nor her eighth.
While she lay dormant and cultivated, she also waited for the Empire, determined to be ready before its arrival. This ti, she would protect everyone and not let any good person get hurt.
What ii said was very moving, but she didn’t notice the strange expressions on the faces of those looking at her.
"Have you ever thought about relocating your parents and the villagers?" Li Ang was the one who finally posed this question.
ii froze, then stood like a statue, motionless.
"It seems," Otto said, "the
from that world did not fulfill the responsibility for a comprehensive education."
"Not at all!" ii hurriedly responded. "I did think about it, but, but I didn’t know how to persuade them to leave. Everyone has lived there for so long."
This indeed was a problem.
But Otto wasn’t completely convinced; he still felt sothing was missing in ii.
"Moreover, Grandpa Otto, the Otto there was always very concerned about . It’s just that after problems arose in the world, you—I an, he—was always busy, often in etings, and only so Sky Knight sisters accompanied . They often left, and then soon the Holy City also..."
The white-haired girl suddenly beca downcast, her shoulders sagging.
"The Holy City could be breached?" Li Ang, Farina, and Otto asked simultaneously.
"What exactly happened?"
Otto’s expression was solemn; this was crucial information.
"I was only ten years old then," ii said. "There were so adult matters I didn’t know about, but the Holy City wasn’t attacked by warships or the Annihilation Star Soul from the outside. It was an internal problem that suddenly erged."
She pointed to the sky, asking, "Does this Holy City also have that Arcane Shield?"
"Yes." Li Ang nodded.
"At the ti, the tallest tower in the city suddenly exploded and collapsed, and then the shield vanished. After that, a Magical Disaster appeared over the Holy City, and so Demon Dragons began to attack the city."
ii said, "I escaped from the Holy City under the protection of sister Lisya."
Lisya, the deputy head of the Order Investigation Corps. If the Otto there asked others to protect ii, it would make sense for her to be the one to take her away.
"So, you were no help at all," Zoe said.
ii bit her lip and deflated, saying nothing.
Li Ang exchanged glances with the two Excellence Realm powerhouses: "I have so ideas; we’ll talk later."
He then softened his expression towards ii: "You don’t need to apologize for anything else, just gradually share your experiences with everyone as compensation. Maybe we can analyze sothing from them."
ii nodded honestly.
Although this person seed a bit unreliable, at the very least, even unreliably, there might be glimpses of future phantoms to be seen.
"Let’s leave it at that for now," Akuya said, turning to luna, "And what about you? You ca over here too? Have you seen more worlds?"
luna completely disregarded the Water Dragon’s question, remaining silent while looking at Li Ang.
Li Ang looked a bit helpless and said to her, "Go ahead."
At his suggestion, the black-haired girl said, "I have seen more, and the results were all destruction."
"There must be so nuanced differences, right?" the Water Dragon pressed, "Like if the worlds exhibit differently, for example, having much water?"
Li Ang speculated that she wanted to see if anyone in other worlds had discovered a way to replenish Nebis’s abundant Water Elent levels.
"I don’t know, I don’t care. Whatever can be slain, I don’t care about. I just want to see if there’s a scenario where slaying everything in the way leads to victory." luna said frankly.
Li Ang sighed softly, while Akuya was also at a loss for words.
luna’s blue eyes reflected Li Ang, with light rippling within as if stirred by so inner emotion.
But she ultimately stated simply, "I finally chose the newest world and ca over."
Li Ang surmised that the so-called World Wedge was a window, allowing one to glimpse and intervene in the concept of "tilines" or "ti streams" because different world lines manifest at a choice point appearing at different tis.
The Creator God, through so sort of power, continuously restarts Nebis at a certain point in ti. Perhaps that is around when ii was born, or even earlier.
Originally, in his current world line, there shouldn’t have been any "ii" born. The two iis he encountered here were due to special reasons.
The current core savior should be Zoe. In so world lines, for instance, if her parents had eaten sothing different, the savior would have been the selectable male protagonist "Aidan" at the ti.
Li Ang couldn’t help but ponder whether each account of different ga players represented a different computation. How should this world achieve a victorious outco?
Zoe... he observed the innocent-looking chestnut-haired young girl. Without his involvent, she would likely just have erged from the Aomori Islands, even if she did start with advantages, carrying a destiny. She would probably have to undergo many battles to grow rapidly.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts, as Farina beside him said, "Miss luna, can you share your experiences with us?"
luna said, "If Li Ang wants to know, then of course."
"Previously you didn’t seem to want to know, you never talked about it, did you?" Li Ang couldn’t help but speak up.
He was a bit annoyed, and his reaction showed on his face.
In the past, luna wouldn’t have reacted to such emotions from him, but now she seed sowhat startled.
"In the past, I felt I couldn’t explain..."
"Indeed," Li Ang sighed, convincing himself to calm down.
"About that," Otto spoke up, "I also bear so fault for keeping it from you earlier."
"Keeping what from ?" Li Ang raised an eyebrow.
"Before, while thinking about the connection between ii and the Holy City’s renowned Female Sword Hero, I considered whether she might have used Legendary Realm power to co from another world."
The Elder Sword Hero crossed his arms, his face reflecting mories: "During travels to various Sky Islands, I have heard many strange stories, and have encountered many mysterious powerful figures, discussing the ti, age, and all sorts of possibilities.
"Achieving the Legendary Realm entails mastering a power that transcends the world itself, and perhaps the world view seen at the ti would be entirely different."
Otto had long reached near-Legendary level, only searching and contemplating on which ’Law’ he truly wished to grasp.
So, he knew more about this aspect than Li Ang did.
"There’s nothing to apologize for about this," Li Ang shook his head, "Saying it to , I might not have believed it, so not saying it is reasonable."
Though Li Ang, with his transmigrator’s perspective, might not have doubted, for the indigenous people of Nebis it wasn’t certain, and the handling by the Elder Sword Hero was without flaw; sothing too outrageous seed more like an absurd joke than a serious discussion.
Otto, having speculated about the Legendary, regarded the second ii intently.
His words just now carried another implication—he wanted to ask about their experience reaching the Legendary Realm.
"As you said indeed."
luna did not show any reverence towards Otto but affird his statent.
"Upon reaching that realm, you often feel omnipotent..."
She looked at her hand, the long slender bones of her fingers visible as she opened her palm, albeit dirty with mud and unsightly for the mont, but it was clear that this hand must hold great power when wielding a sword.
"...In that mont, it feels like you could grasp the world in your hands."
Her hand slowly closed as if seizing sothing, while simultaneously looking up at Li Ang.
Li Ang was still composed, but Dorothy beside him shivered lightly, muttering in a mosquito-like voice, "I feel like she wants to hold Li Ang tight."
"And indeed, I did so, slaying everything I saw, but it was useless."
luna stated this expressionlessly, but the more devoid of emotional fluctuation she was, the more a subtle, peculiar sentint arose among those present, perhaps one of lancholy?
The black-haired girl seed to talk to herself in a whisper, "If victory is not the ans to halt the world’s end, then what indeed is the thod?"
"Take your ti to ponder," Akuya shook her head, "We six Water Dragons have pondered for so long without arriving at an answer."
She stretched, a bottle on the table rolling to the end as everyone realized that she had drunk all the "offerings" on the table completely.
"Let’s conclude this for now, forthcoming matters, first, let these two inform you of future circumstances, second, they act as my deputies, third, Li Ang cos to see
later.
The Water Dragon clapped both palms, "That’s it, eting adjourned."
