Uplifting Journey

In the semi-enclosed room illuminated by the non-stop flashing golden lights, Joseph and Cheng Bin communicated quickly.

It is difficult for ordinary people to communicate normally in an environment where the time is fast and slow. Fortunately, Cheng Bin is very sensitive to changes in the external time scale when he is prepared, and he is also capable of completing complex audio adjustments in his brain in real time.

This prevented the special pen and paper prepared by Joseph from being useful.

However, in the chaotic time flow, even a brief narrative focusing on the key points took many days and nights.

From Joseph, Cheng Bin learned a series of key information about the current timeline——

First of all, it is the current runaway time flow in the world, or the spontaneous combustion and dissipation of all souls in the world-consistent with Cheng Bin's conjecture, the source of the mutation is Enrique Pucci, the apostle of the "world".

Father Puqi, who is not strong in this world line and this time period, should be easily solved by Polnareff and the others, but in the previous time line change, the "world"'s forcible intervention at any cost caused huge chaos .

Father Puqi's soul is directly dominated by his awakened substitute "Made in Heaven" in the distortion of the timeline, and the power from the "world" fully penetrates into this worldline through it as a fulcrum.

As a terrible stand-in who has devoured the souls of life in an unknown number of parallel worlds, "The World" has easily leveraged the power of all souls in this world, but the aftermath of its intervention has caused everyone to be trapped by their own soul power. A similar strong gravitational environment creates a chaotic environment in which the flow of time is distorted.

No one knows why the "world" gave up more territories and paid a huge price to interfere with this world line, and no one knows what he did in this chaos.

Fortunately, although the stand-in alliance was a little caught off guard by the actions of the "world", the overdraft of the "world" regardless of the cost also provided them with an excellent opportunity to free up their hands to clean up the nearby world lines.

The Silver Chariot Requiem thus intervenes more deeply in this world line, and the current chaos of time is largely due to its power creating a confrontation with the Apostle Heaven.

Father Puqi, the apostle who is used as a carrier and a consumable, is destined to be unable to last long in front of the Dark Marshal—as far as Joseph’s personal sensory time is concerned, the phenomenon of time runaway has lasted for about "a day and a half", and he has been reminded in advance. The prepared human beings will not all starve to death.

Of course, huge casualties and losses, as well as social chaos caused by the collapse of various systems after time chaos, are also foreseeable.

Cheng Bin, who was extremely "slow" in action, also understood after Joseph's narration that it was difficult for him and the old man in front of him to intervene in the front-line battle, and he could only wait for the results of those involved in the scene.

"So, is it possible that the reason why I completely wiped out Katz's consciousness at this point in time and woke up is because of the abnormality created by heaven?" Cheng Bin, who slowly climbed out of the isolation box, recalled It made Katz's backup force suddenly weaken in the previous soul battle.

"I personally think that the world, or Dior, the ultimate goal of a series of actions, may have something to do with you." Joseph took a sip of water carefully, and then looked down at the purple thorns spreading around him, " After the silver chariot awakened into Requiem, I used the soul mechanism to strengthen my substitute, Hermit Purple.

"According to Polnareff's prompt, I found your inactive and not completely dead daughter body with the help of my strengthened substitute ability, and implanted its cells into the body of Santana, the man of the pillar in this research base, which can guarantee you survival, and allow us to judge your state indirectly, and contact you as soon as you wake up."

After a pause, Joseph stroked the short stubble on his chin, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Polnareff asked me to tell you after confirming your identity - all we need now is to wait , don’t go to the place where they fought, let alone dig deep to touch your double.”

——Is this series of changes really related to infinity?

Thinking of the double that had not been used after defeating Katz's consciousness, Cheng Bin suddenly recalled it.

Compared with the timeline that has disappeared, what is the biggest difference in him?

His soul returned to the state it was before self-destruction!

He reconnects with his stand-in "Infinity"!

The main body of Cheng Bin, who was far underground in Africa, suddenly trembled—with a thought, he re-summoned the tester panel from the Lord of Infinity!

Looking at the extremely eye-catching "return" option on the panel, Cheng Bin fell into deep thought.

After countless conjectures swirled in his heart, Cheng Bin turned off the trial panel of the reserve God Eater, controlled the black cat son and asked Joseph: "The Killer Queen, and the Crimson King, are these two powerful neutrals?" What is the situation in the timeline change?"

"Huh?" Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion, "Killer Queen, Crimson King? Is this the name of the stand-in?"

The black cat that jumped out of the isolation box and was looking at the empty bottle in the corner looked at Joseph in surprise: "You don't know?"

"Should I know?" Joseph frowned and pondered for a while, "Is this something from a timeline that has disappeared?"

Cheng Bin nodded thoughtfully, and then gave Joseph a brief description of the Crimson King and Killer Queen.

Knowing the powerful and weird timeline interference ability of the Crimson King and the Killer Queen from the black cat, and roughly knowing Cheng Bin's long struggle in the time vortex, Joseph, who opened his mouth unconsciously, couldn't help but twitch: "There is still such a thing."

After recovering from the breaking news, Joseph pondered for a while, and then explained to Cheng Bin: "There are not many things that Polnareff hastily explained after his double awakened.

"According to him, the history of this world has not been greatly distorted in the timeline changes due to the instinctive suppression of many avatars to maintain their own existence, but"

Joseph stopped talking, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The hermit's purple attached to and spreading on the inner wall of the room erupted with a strong flash, and the turbulent ripple energy crazily reflected and echoed in the room. Between countless light waves fluctuating and gathering, a clear three-dimensional image appeared in the middle of the room.

Bookcases lined with countless paper files, people coming and going on the street, densely packed torrents of symbols with unknown meanings

The three-dimensional projection changes in an instant, and finally collapses and disappears with the dimming of the ripple energy.

In the room with reduced brightness, Joseph took a quick breath for a while, then raised his head and said to the black cat squatting there: "I have confirmed that Diablo and Kiraji did not exist in the history of this world. There is no record of the performance of these two people similar to those of the Crimson King and Killer Queen.

"If the information provided by you and Polnareff is correct, I think they should have completely withdrawn from this world line—tsk, so to speak, what we have experienced over the years, including the origin of the arrow and the following The series of battles, in fact, unknown distortions have occurred? Memory and history are unreliable, this is really a bad feeling.”

At this moment, another violent shock swept through, and amidst the sound of twisted metal, Joseph and Cheng Bin looked up at the ceiling at the same time.

The dust brought into the room by the turbulent airflow through the vents fell quickly under the influence of gravity after being swept by the vibration. The eyes of the old man and the black cat followed the dust fluttering in the air until they landed and stopped.

After exchanging glances with the black cat, the old man took a water bottle from the bracket and threw it upwards.

The water bottle quickly rose to the apex close to the ceiling with afterimages, then "slowed down" and fell in a rather unnatural way, and was finally caught by the old man with ease.

After shaking the water bottle in his hand, Joseph said happily: "It's slowed down!"

The pupils of the black cat, which observes the changes of external substances in various ways, have returned to their original appearance: "The distortion of the flow of time has begun to stabilize, and the world is gradually returning to normal—can you use the Hermit Purple to see the situation on the battlefield over there?" ?”

Joseph opened the water bottle and took a sip of water. Thinking of how he had to be careful when he drank the water before, he couldn't help sighing and shaking his head, and then he said to Cheng Bin: "The battle over there has exceeded the scope of the ability of a substitute in the world. , It’s a confrontation of certain forces at the essential level, and rash observations are likely to encounter terrible backlash—anyway, the situation is improving, so please wait patiently for a while.”

The black cat nodded, and then the small room fell silent, only the slight vibrations transmitted from the ground reverberated in the air.

Cheng Bin, who turned his consciousness back to the main body, processed the external data collected during this period, and then he looked at the main task of exploring the world background displayed on the tester's panel, and muttered in his heart: "If you don't move, it will affect time. I am really more and more curious about the big scene between the line and the world, what Dr. Cheng experienced in this world back then."

Soon, amidst the laments of countless poor and disheveled human beings on the earth, the speed of the sun's movement returned to the level that was indistinguishable to the naked eye in the past, and the last sense of disharmony between the soul and the outside world disappeared.

At the moment when the world returned to normal, the silver chariot Requiem, which looked like a dark mirror, appeared in front of the old man and the black cat silently out of thin air.
