Chapter 349: Reversal Body!!

——Time tied a knot here……

——Just like a snake biting its own tail……

Past and future intertwine, binding the flow of causality.

Beginning and end, at this moment overlap and merge, forming a perfect closed loop.

Everything flows and repeats within this eternal cycle, having neither beginning nor end.

The story that once happened, and the drama about to be staged, at this moment are tightly linked, weaving an unsolvable loop that converges the boundaries within.

"Tsk."

The Golden Core Cultivator took in everything at a glance, and couldn't help but shake his head.

If viewed merely from an ordinary perspective, Origami Tobiichi's situation is truly a proper tragedy.

Her tragic story already happened in the past, yet it also equally only truly begins in the future.

Mainly in the future, this girl will be defeated in her destined showdown with a Spirit, encounter "Phantom," and be granted a Spirit Crystal to become a Spirit.

After that, Origami Tobiichi sought out a way to find Kurumi Tokisaki.

She begged the latter to use the Twelfth Bullet, sending herself back to five years ago.

——This is naturally to be expected.

——Once any person in despair realizes time travel might exist, and the meaning it brings, they will clutch at this lifeline regardless of everything.

Alas, all is fate, not a shred by human will.

Fate's brocade, once woven, has its fixed trajectory, not something human power can easily alter.

Like the clumsiest drama, those who want to change history despairingly discover that it is precisely because they returned to the past that they shaped that very history.

When Origami Tobiichi thought she had saved her parents, she discovered they were accidentally killed by her own attack during the process of attacking and driving out "Phantom."

Her interference in returning to the past was itself a part of that history!

The instant she realized this——

Origami Tobiichi's world completely collapsed.

Along with her rationality collapsing together.

………………

Basically that's the situation.

Xia Zhi actually wouldn't go so far as to say he's too surprised, although he only just now retrieved Origami Tobiichi's situation.

But more accurately speaking, the intelligence of the entire planet has long since been in his grasp.

It's just a matter of when he chooses to call up which part of the intelligence.

——It's simply a question of what "attention" is placed on, although for this tiny planet he can actually maintain omniscience……

But there's no such necessity, and it wastes threads.

After all, when you can cognize all phenomena, you inevitably simultaneously take in massive amounts of useless garbage information.

That is malignant information——negative information activity born of self-aware activity.

Such as malicious incitement, lying repeatedly purely for profit, baseless rumors still widely spread, all are information with only negativity.

When it pollutes positive truth it acts like cancer, turning the entire community into a negative existence.

Even Mooncell, while observing Earth, accumulated massive amounts of malignant information.

Exiling existences unnecessary to human history, information it cannot itself understand, to the Far Side of the Moon, this made the Far Side of the Moon a vortex sedimenting countless grudges and delusions.

An Observation Device is already like this.

How much more so a living person.

Xia Zhi also doesn't want to be harassed all day by various spam ads, notification pop-ups, wasting threads on garbage information that doesn't have a shred of value.

And retrieving Origami Tobiichi's intelligence, her tragic story itself also didn't make him care too much.

He only paid attention to that strange "symbol," repeated coincidences couldn't possibly be merely simple probability events.

"How come it feels like I keep running into the Ouroboros phenomenon, hmm, come to think of it, Vivian strictly speaking was also this kind of situation back then……"

The youth pinched his chin, slightly tilting his head, his gaze also casually sweeping over the fierce battle happening on the sea surface.

"Could it be…… it's actually not a simple coincidence? Or if I hadn't run into Vivian, I would have run into other similar examples……"

——This isn't delusion.

——But a well-founded basis, conducting emission and association based on this phenomenon.

Just……

The youth involuntarily raised an eyebrow, his heart still couldn't help but feel aversion toward this possibility.

This is naturally a preconceived experience, thereby creating a certain subjective preference.

After all, saying it like this, it seems even if I hadn't run into Vivian, I would actually run into someone else.

However, actually, there is no such "if."

The first one he met was Vivian.

——In countless hopes, then despair, until the heart seemed to no longer beat, just mechanically sinking in the overlap of instant and eternity……

——Because all encounters in the world, at most are only reunions after long separation……

——Before who knows how many reincarnations, the same who knows how many times had already happened……

But precisely because of this, in this floating life of ten thousand things, no reunion compares to that first meeting's glance.

When time flows again, when the heart beats again, when life once more shows different scenery, that beginning naturally becomes destined to be eternal.

Slightly reining in his diverging thoughts, Xia Zhi no longer pondered the phenomenon's symbolism itself.

What needs to be considered now is still how to resolve this dead knot in time.

Yes, a dead knot.

It's not that it can't be undone, but that it can't be undone by the original method.

Origami Tobiichi's tragic story: the cause is the result, the result is the cause, and causality was already established five years ago.

If nothing unexpected happens, everything will proceed smoothly.

But... an existence that should not exist arrived in this world during the period between five years ago and five years later.

This monster that flew in from another world brutally impacted the fate of the entire planet.

So, some things are different.

For example, logically speaking, Mio Takamiya must have known Origami Tobiichi would become a Spirit in the future, because her Spirit Crystal had not yet been given away when the corresponding Spirit was born.

So in the future, when it comes time to give away that Spirit Crystal, she will definitely choose Origami Tobiichi.

But...

Strangely, on this choice, Mio Takamiya chose Ailian.

This was not her wanting to test anything, nor using the Correction Force of history as a weapon to see if it could have any effect, but rather she really hadn't thought much about it.

At that time, pure revenge psychology gained the upper hand.

And perhaps she also considered that Ailian's quality as a wizard was already extremely amazing, Spirits were no match for her, so if she herself became a Spirit, she would surely be invincible.

This is very reasonable—

Whether she still follows her conscious thoughts, seriously promoting the Resurrection Plan, so she needs to give birth to a Spirit of powerful force...

Or she subconsciously wants to destroy herself through this path unconsciously, so she also needs to give birth to a Spirit of powerful force...

Both are undoubtedly plausible.

But this forms a Paradox.

Some things clearly happened, but lost the basis of existence... because the past and future were severed, no longer coherent, one mottled Dao Platform tore through a huge Spacetime fault.

The Daoist calmly thought.

Under such circumstances, Correction is bound to happen, mainly... he needs to decide in what form to carry out the Correction.

Directly kill Ailian, and then let Miss Folding Paper rise to Superior?

Or simply handle it according to "Filtering Apocryphal History Phenomenon", then Fold Multiple Histories?

He pondered for a moment, then made a decision, gently reaching out to pluck the String of Time, precisely splicing the observed future possibilities.

Mm-hmm, when necessary, one still has to perform a Dark Box Operation.

Anyway, that bad woman has always been suspicious, and it's time to keep applying pressure to her.

………………

………………

Origami Tobiichi operated the latest model Tactical Manifestation Device, outputting at Highest power.

Under an attack like she had gone mad, she instead felt her body wasn't so uncomfortable.

It seemed blood and brain matter were boiling, at this moment, with complete focus, only that one Target remained in her Vision.

Attack! Attack! Still attack!

Mad output, only to Penetrate the other side's Defense, and completely knock the other side down!

Only then could she interrogate Intelligence next... driven by the blazing fire of hatred, Origami Tobiichi could no longer think of anything else.

Especially when she Perceived that she had already given Full Effort, outputting at full power regardless of Mors Price—

Relying on that desperate momentum, the boost of the latest model Tactical Manifestation Device, and her near-transcendent control and precision at this time...

She actually completely failed to break the other side's Defense.

That "Phantom" was still full of noise all over, completely unrecognizable, and very easily resolved all attacks.

—Spirit!

—Or a very powerful Spirit!

Origami Tobiichi felt she wouldn't be wrong, this was the power of a Spirit; now she seemed unable to think calmly, but could extremely keenly discern the Details in these battles.

Compared to the Spirits she had fought before, the "Phantom" on the Opposite Side seemed to only have a difference in Element.

Although the other side seemed Doubtful and always appeared to be just defending, but... but... the feeling wouldn't be wrong!

So...

What is this?

A Spirit that transforms Spirits? The source of all Spirits?

Hatred seemed to become clearer and clearer; the girl stared tightly at the "Phantom", driving all Tactical strikes as much as possible, Howling toward the other side's position.

Whether it was the Large Light Sword at hand, or the huge cannons that were obviously Fleet-grade Cannon size floating around her sides.

From close-range slashes to long-range aiming Lock and firing.

It looked like great Momentum, and the power was sufficient, Completely Sufficient to break through an Old Era aircraft carrier fleet in a short time.

However, against the "Phantom" it could not cause Effective killing.

"Sigh, it seems you have some hatred toward me..."

The unrecognizable Strange Identity figure dodged attacks one by one in Mid-air like gliding, while sighing and speaking.

She did not fight back, nor Counter, but seriously asked the Opposite Side's Identity repeatedly, why attack herself and such, but just never got an answer.

"But sorry, I don't have time to Entangle with you..."

"Ugh! Don't even think about escaping—!!"

Origami Tobiichi's attack frequency had already reached a peak, at this moment it increased by a few points again.

She keenly Perceived that the other side seemed to have lost patience, preparing to leave.

"It's meaningless, you are very talented, perhaps in time you could become the world's strongest wizard... but just that, it's impossible to harm me."

The "Phantom" said lightly.

Mors However, just as her words fell.

Suddenly, a straight-line crack appeared in the Sky.

As if space itself had cracked, it completely split the heavens in two.

"……Inverse Form?"

The Primordial Spirit was stunned for a moment, quickly realizing what this strange oppression was.

But…

Wasn't this Spiritual Power that of the Angel of Extinction? Not long ago, I had implanted that Spirit Crystal into Ailian's body.

And by the way, deleted her Memory.

In such a short time, how could Ailian have Reversed? No matter how great the Despair, it couldn't happen this fast, could it!
