Chapter 134: Anyway, I will turn back time, not yet

How to deal with those Stage V Zodiacs?

No, this question should be changed to another way of saying it.

What kind of agreement did Jia Ji reach with them to make them take the initiative to help him?

"It's indeed very incredible."

Kisara, the Holy Emperor, Muroto Sumire, and others gathered together. They were summoned by Jia Ji, and at this moment, they were looking at each other, all with suspicious expressions.

After they got the 【Legacy of the Seven Stars】, they all saw what was inside, and after Jia Ji explained, they understood why a broken bicycle could summon Stage V.

"A girl captured and modified by evil forces."

"A monster modified after being captured by the Shocker organization."

Lanyuan Yanzhu and Jia Ji said in unison. Although the ways of saying it were different, the metaphors were quite appropriate.

Stage V were originally girls like today's cursed children. Perhaps they retained their own consciousness from the beginning, but after absorbing the factors of thousands or tens of thousands of creatures, various chaotic impulses and instincts were mixed into their mutated giant bodies. What they could do afterward could no longer be completely controlled by them.

Running wild because of inner anger led to the destruction of the world.

And in these ten years, why could humans still survive behind the monolith?

Although there were achievements such as the development of Varanium metal weapons, Initiators, and Gastrea virus inhibitors, the human side, which couldn't defeat Gastrea creatures even in its heyday, now even if it huddled behind the monolith, as long as the Stage V Zodiacs had that thought, destroying the remaining surviving humans would be a matter of minutes.

It can be seen that perhaps the rampaging Zodiacs, after venting their inner anger, regained some sanity and tried their best to control themselves not to approach those human gathering places, which allowed humans to survive.

And after this, Jia Ji used the "Solomon Ring" to communicate with them and get assistance.

"So that's how it is, so pitiful!"

Although they had suffered the hardships brought by Gastrea creatures, in the final analysis, this couldn't be blamed on the Zodiacs, but humans brought it on themselves.

When this speculation came out, Lanyuan Yanzhu almost shed small pearls. She had a special feeling for the encounters of these Zodiacs, and it was no exaggeration to say that she felt the same way.

Jia Ji knew that in the original timeline, the vacant position of Cancer meant that at least one more person would fill the gap of the Zodiac... And if he hadn't intervened, Lanyuan Yanzhu, as the heroine of this world, would have a high probability of being captured and modified by some evil organization, becoming the last Zodiac.

"Really, just thinking about it makes me red with heat."

If Lanyuan Yanzhu became a Gastrea creature, Jia Ji wouldn't mind destroying this world with his own hands.

However, there was no need to worry now.

He had already sent Kagetane Hiruko to all parts of the world to kill any ambitious people, madmen, and researchers who had escaped with their lives back then who wanted to find trouble with him or were ill-intentioned toward this newly established city, which could be considered as putting him to good use.

"At that time, I made an agreement with them—one day I will turn them back into humans."

Because it was a direct communication on the mental and spiritual level, it was easy to distinguish whether the other party was lying. And after high-frequency collisions on the level of thought, the human consciousness that dominated the Zodiac finally decided to follow its own feelings and chose to believe in him, believe in this man who looked completely different from this world.

They didn't feel any lies from this person, only pity and sympathy, and sadness for them, these ugly Zodiacs.

Now, one could see the figures of those nine Zodiacs from any place in the Tokyo Area.

They were sleeping around the former Mount Fuji, their huge bodies curled into a ball, motionless, reducing energy consumption to the minimum, quiet as if they were corpses.

Only everyone knew what would happen if they were awakened, so their mere existence there could bring the greatest deterrence to anyone with malicious intent.

"The name Mount Fuji is so ugly, better call it Silver Mountain."

Jia Ji disdained, and couldn't possibly do, things like killing the donkey after it had finished grinding the mill or going back on his word. Since he promised, he would definitely do it.

Turning the Zodiacs back into humans—although it was difficult to handle, it was not impossible.

Regarding the method of "I really want to become a human," Jia Ji already had quite a few types in his mind, but if summarized, they could basically be divided into three types.

The first type: Rebuild the body, transfer consciousness. This belongs to the old business of high-tech civilization, and it just so happens that there are experts in this field in the group.

The second type: Use the boundary between human and non-human to reverse the Zodiac, a bit like the traditional monster cultivation turning into a human, a fantasy-side method.

The third method is the simplest and crudest, but the most difficult to do. Summon someone who knows time-based methods and perform time reversal on them.

However, none of the above three strategies could be handled by the current Jia Ji. He had to ask Yukari Yakumo or Yuki to come to this world personally to try and see if it was feasible.

And this required time to increase the number of group members to ten and open the new function of the Kaleidoscope.

So Jia Ji let the Zodiacs sleep first to avoid any accidents.

Speaking of which, although he had done many big things in this world, the actual time passed was unexpectedly short, with one-third of the "xx-specific three months" still remaining.

Jia Ji, who had originally thought about staying in this world for a few more days to save up energy to extract the next group member, suddenly received a prompt from the Kaleidoscope at this moment.

【Shana: When will there be the next new group member @Great Moe God】

【Yongyuan Shiqisui Forever: I remember it's after the group leader himself has passed 100 days that one group member can be added, what's wrong?】

【Xia Na: It's nothing really... I just feel like it's been so long and no new members have joined, the efficiency is too low. At this rate, when will we ever be able to go visit everyone else's worlds?】

【Shana: I have an idea—why don't you go to Yukari-sister's world first, then close the group for a period of time, two or three years will do, then add eight newbies to the group in one breath, that way the efficiency will be high】

【Ice Queen: The efficiency is indeed very low, feel like this person seems to be deliberately delaying something, not wanting everyone to meet too early... Don't play dead, speak! @Great Moe God】

【Yongyuan Shiqisui Forever: Don't play dead, speak! @Great Moe God】

【Angel After Death: Don't play dead, speak! @Great Moe God】

Jia Ji just received the @ reminder, opened the chat interface, and then a neat row of repetition entered his eyes.

【Great Moe God: Wow, even you, Kanade...】

【Angel After Death: The plus one behind is too tempting, accidentally...】

【Great Moe God: Too much, too hurtful to my heart! I want to block you!】

【Yinyang Yan Jianzi: Group chat shouldn't have a block button, this person is talking nonsense again. jpg】

【Shana: So are you doing it or not?】

【Great Moe God: That way is fast, but wouldn't I age faster than you all? Clearly just turned 18, in the blink of an eye I have to become an uncle? Shana, you won't age, standing and talking doesn't hurt your waist, why don't you just let me use Made in Heaven to accelerate...】

【Yongyuan Shiqisui Forever: Are you implying that I age very fast? (｀へ）】

【Great Moe God: Say whatever you want, anyway, it's impossible for me to go to your place now, of course, I'm not afraid of you...】

【Yinyang Yan Jianzi: You are just afraid, right?】

【Great Moe God: Wait, seems a bit strange... Shana looks exceptionally anxious today, did something happen? @Shana】
