Chapter 498

It was Lin Que who brought back everything she had experienced in the future and stuffed those memories into her mind.

Relying on these memories, she saved her companions in the Astraea Familia and successfully killed the Juggernaut in return.

"Wait a moment, you all."

Ryuu's gaze looked around: "Since I successfully obtained these memories, it means Lin Que is nearby."

"I'll go find him; it will be much more convenient if he explains it."

"Memories? Lin Que?"

Hearing the strange words and an unknown name pop out of Ryuu's mouth, the cautious Kaguya frowned slightly.

"Who is that? Where did you meet such a strange guy?"

"It's me~"

A reply sounded, and a palm patted Kaguya's head.

"It's better to have a better attitude toward your savior."

"When did you get close!"

Facing the sudden strange presence, Kaguya's body tensed up, and she subconsciously pulled away to assume an attack stance.

But the next instant, she seemed to recall Ryuu's words just now, moved her hand away from the hilt of her sword, and looked suspiciously at her original position.

"You are the Lin Que that Ryuu mentioned? And what's this about being a savior?"

"Hmm... although Ryuu said it would be more convenient to leave the explanation to me, it would be too inefficient to say it sentence by sentence."

Thoughtfully looking at Kaguya and the others, Lin Que suddenly snapped his fingers, a smile appearing on his face.

"Since you all need to 'die' for five years anyway, you might as well understand all of this while you sleep."

"Die? Sleep?"

Alise realized something was wrong: "Ryuu mentioned earlier that we wouldn't have to die, so what exactly do you mean by your 'die'... eh?"

Before she could finish her sentence, a wave of drowsiness suddenly rose in Alise's mind.

Sounds of people falling one after another came, and Alise's peripheral vision caught Kaguya and the others collapsing to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, besides her still barely holding on, only the culprit, Lin Que, and Ryuu remained standing in place.

"This is the first time I've encountered such powerful magic."

Forcing herself to endure the sleepiness, Alise sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, since Ryuu chose to trust you, I won't continue to resist."

"When I wake up, you must give me a proper explanation."

Boom~!

As soon as she relaxed her tense nerves, Alise instantly fell into a deep sleep, collapsing to the ground just like Kaguya and the others.

"A big harvest~ A big harvest~"

Lin Que flicked his finger, emitting ten red lights that wrapped around Alise and the others, transforming them into red beads.

Controlling magic threads to string these ten beads together, Lin Que smiled and waved at the only remaining elf girl.

"Thanks for that, Ryuu."

"With your help, I've harvested ten beautiful girls all at once~"

"You're saying strange things again."

Although in the current Ryuu's eyes, this was her first time meeting and interacting with Lin Que...

But the sense of familiarity brought by the future memories allowed her to converse with Lin Que very smoothly.

"What should I do next? Do I need to do as I did in the memories and carry out another purge of the Evilus?"

"No need to be that troublesome."

Lin Que smiled and tossed the bracelet made of Alise and the others over to her.

"I will temporarily seal and modify your current memories to ensure your subsequent behavioral trajectory remains the same as the original timeline."

"When I return to the future and unseal your memories, I will 'resurrect' all members of the Astraea Familia without causing any changes."

"Is that so... it seems another storm of blood is about to be stirred up."

Ryuu sighed, though she didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

Just as she had said when communicating with Lin Que earlier, as long as she could resurrect Alise and the others, she could bear any cost.

"Then I'll see you in five years, although for you, it might just be an instant."

"Not necessarily."

Lin Que smiled: "I still have some things to deal with; I won't be returning to the future immediately."

"You're not leaving immediately?"

Ryuu was stunned: "What else do you have to do?"

"Go find the fifth member of our Familia."

Lin Que smiled: "In any case, when you wake up again in five years, I'll give you a surprise."

"Just hold onto that anticipation and wait obediently for five years."

An invisible mental wave spread from Lin Que.

Without giving Ryuu a chance to ask further, Lin Que directly sealed her memories, leaving her with only the experiences of the original timeline.

Looking at the girl who was suddenly stunned in place, as if she had experienced something unacceptable, a look of despair appearing on her face.

Lin Que thought for a moment, then tossed out the weapons of Alise and the others that he had collected, scattering them into various areas.

"Hmm... that should be fine."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lin Que activated his time magic again before Ryuu could come to her senses.

"As for the time point, should I jump back another two years?"

Looking at the silver figure that remained in Ryuu's memories, leaving a deep impression, Lin Que smiled and disappeared from the spot.

Next, it was time to go save the fifth member of his own Familia.
