Chapter 658: Kurumi's Request
"Yes, I'm back!" Tokisaki Kurumi looked at Lingyun, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Lingyun reached out and gently hugged the Tokisaki Kurumi in front of him, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Brother, how is my masterpiece?" Taking advantage of Lingyun hugging Tokisaki Kurumi, Ruoxi quietly slipped out of Lingyun's embrace and said with a smug look on her face.
"Masterpiece? You really let Tokisaki Kurumi successfully master the Time Law of the Cloud Realm?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
"That's right! To accomplish this, I really spent a lot of energy; the construction of the Cloud Realm has slowed down during this time!" Ruoxi said, puffing out her cheeks.
"And who is that crystal over there?" Lingyun's gaze swept across the Cloud Realm and he discovered that a purple crystal had appeared in the Cloud Realm at some unknown time.
"This one, it's the Space Law Crystal of the Cloud Realm," Ruoxi said, stammering a little.
"My meaning is, who is the person inside?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow, wearing an expression that said, 'Don't even think about trying to get away with this.'
"It's, it's Sister Na Yue!" Hearing Lingyun say this, Ruoxi knew she couldn't hide it anymore and simply blurted out the name.
Lingyun's eyes narrowed, and he reached out once again to pinch Ruoxi's little cheeks.
"What on earth are you doing!"
"Mmph, mmph, I only made this decision after discussing it with Sister Na Yue for a long time," Ruoxi said, struggling.
"Really?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
"It's absolutely true. Brother, if you don't believe me, you can just ask Sister Na Yue yourself after she comes out," Ruoxi said, covering her little face and nodding desperately.
"I'll let you off for now, but after Na Yue-jiang wakes up, if I discover anything wrong, never mind your little face, even your little bottom will suffer the same fate!" Lingyun glared at Ruoxi and said. "Such a big thing, and you did it quietly without even telling me. What would you have me do if some accident happened?"
"Mm, I know," Ruoxi stepped back a little and nodded desperately.
"By the way, Brother, I still need to go to Aincrad to check on Yui. Sister Kurumi seems to have something she wants to talk to you about, so I'll be going first!" After saying that, Ruoxi disappeared directly in front of Lingyun.
"What is it you want to talk to me about?" Lingyun looked in Kurumi's direction.
Kurumi stared at Lingyun intently, then quickly threw herself into Lingyun's arms.
Lingyun wrapped his arms around Kurumi, his expression somewhat unnatural: "Kurumi, what are you doing?"
"This, of course, is a bribe!" A hint of a smile appeared on Kurumi's face as she rubbed her body forcefully against Lingyun's chest.
Lingyun's body stiffened slightly, then he tightened his arms around the girl in his embrace.
"Just tell me what's on your mind. If I can help, I will certainly do my best!" Lingyun said.
"Lingyun, you said before that there is a phenomenon of information flow between various worlds, so you must have quite a lot of intelligence about the world I come from, right?" Tokisaki Kurumi said.
Lingyun's expression stiffened, then he nodded slightly: "That's right, I do indeed know quite a bit of intelligence regarding your world."
"In fact, there is a lot of intelligence that I only collected after staying here with you for a while, Lingyun. I never imagined there were so many hidden truths in my world," Kurumi sighed and said.
"You want to talk about that wish of yours, the wish to kill the First Spirit," Lingyun said.
"That's right, that madwoman, I will absolutely never forgive her!" Tokisaki Kurumi said, gritting her teeth.
"A madwoman, is she? Perhaps to you, and to those half-spirits who became sacrifices, she can indeed be considered a madwoman," Lingyun nodded. "You want to join forces with me to kill her?"
"Killing her is perhaps not such an important thing anymore. Although the crimes she committed are unforgivable, what I want more now is to undo the tragedies of the past, no matter what price I have to pay!" A determined light flickered in Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes. "This is not just for me, but also for those half-spirits who once died at my hands. I want to save them, I want to undo all of this!"
"Looking at you now, you must already have a clear plan. I think that with your current strength, you should be able to defeat the former First Spirit," Lingyun asked.
"That's right. In my current state, with the support of the Cloud Realm, defeating the First Spirit might be very difficult, but the final victor will definitely be me!" Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes were full of confidence.
Takamiya Mio, who is the First Spirit, is a life created by the concentration of magic power in the Date A Live World; in a sense, she can be considered invincible within the Date A Live World. If it were the Kurumi of the past, there would be almost no possibility of defeating her. But now it is different; Tokisaki Kurumi is actually no longer a Spirit of the Date A Live World, but a Spirit nurtured by the Time Law of the Cloud Realm. Although she is still in an initial stage, with the support of the Cloud Realm, she can still defeat Takamiya Mio.
"However, after coming into contact with higher-level things, I realized that my plan is too difficult to realize. As I am now, I have no way to resist the trajectory of fate in my world. Even if I defeat Takamiya Mio, or even stop those three people at the source, the powerful inertia of fate will still pull most things back to their original tracks, and the tragedies will still happen," Tokisaki Kurumi's tone held a hint of dejection.
"Fate Power, huh." Lingyun sighed softly, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"But now there is a chance, a chance to reverse these countless tragedies!" Kurumi looked at Lingyun suddenly.
"You mean, me?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, it's you, Lingyun." Tokisaki Kurumi reached out and grabbed Lingyun's clothes tightly. "Only you, you are special, possessing the power to reverse fate. If I have your help, I will definitely be able to reverse the tragedies of my world!"
"I possess the power to reverse fate?" Lingyun frowned slightly.
"That's right. When I was sleeping in the Cloud Realm, I once tried to use my own Time Power to simulate the trajectory of my future actions in the Date A Live World, but no matter how I deflected the direction of the world, fate would ultimately push everything back toward the previous track. It wasn't until I added you as a factor in one of the simulations that I finally succeeded in jumping out of the trajectory of fate," Tokisaki Kurumi stared fixedly at Lingyun, as if a drowning person had seen a straw to save their life. "Lingyun, can you help me? I am willing to pay any price, including myself!"
Looking at Tokisaki Kurumi's expectant gaze, Lingyun finally nodded: "Okay!"
