Chapter 3385: Drow and Magic-Born Issues

————Currently rushing~

Realizing this, the look in Xia Duo's eyes when he looked at Dafuni no longer held much worry, because he knew the other party could no longer trap him; it was not because the presence of the Divine Envoy could help him with Time Anchoring the past.

Rather, through this series of probes, he discovered a fatal flaw in the other party's Magic involving time, which was that it could not act on different events simultaneously.

Although the same event might contain very complex personnel connections, and might even implicate an entire Plane, these people were all in the same Time Line being manipulated, rather than many completely different Time Lines.

This meant that as long as the Illuminati used this method of manipulating the Time Line on him, there was no need to worry about others being controlled.

And most crucially, this method merely created a virtual Time Line parallel to the present world; as long as it did not overwrite the present world, it could never exceed the time Node of the present world.

Simply put, although Xia Duo now appeared to be trapped in a Time Loop, the time outside the loop could be considered stopped, and the time he himself perceived was the time of the Main Plane's present world.

If the Illuminati were willing to keep him trapped here indefinitely, it would actually be equivalent to the Illuminati's own plans being unable to advance at all.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that the other party's purpose in using this method on him was likely to kill him, a key figure of the Alliance, only they did not expect him to be able to retain his consciousness (or rather, maintain the continuity of his consciousness) within the Time Loop, and even find a way to counter it.

That was a very massive project; Xia Duo had not prepared for several years of continuous fighting, but he had not expected that after only two days, Dafuni would already be at her wit's end.

Usually, he was accustomed to the assistance of the Computing Power Pool and the brain-computer, and now he felt it had suddenly become turtle-paced, but a full two days was enough for him to exclude a considerable portion of useless data.

And it had only been a mere two days, who are you looking down on!

But reshaping history, or rather reshaping the Time Line, was not a simple matter, and it was certainly not without cost.

As for Xia Duo's side, the Time Reversal of one or two seconds at a time did indeed cause him considerable trouble; he had tried several times, and the two Divine Envoys could not send a Sending to him within one or two seconds.

At that time, the data collected through the Alliance Mage and the Psionic Detector was all the Magic Net data that could be collected at the center of the ritual, not just ritual-related data; collecting only ritual-related data was impossible under the circumstances of a Magic Net riot.

It was just a pity that Dafuni was not the human Mage in the movie, and Xia Duo was certainly not Dormammu.

From the other party starting the one or two-second Time Loop without a word, to now becoming willing to speak, how could Xia Duo not understand that the other party was already at her wit's end!

Between letting go and not letting go, Dafuni felt incomparably conflicted.

Of course, for Xia Duo, the shorter the past the other party could change, the better, while for her, the further back the past she could change, the better.

If she could do that, it would actually be equivalent to having a very deep understanding of the ritual's details.

"You must hold on! Just hold on for a few more years, and I will be able to fully analyze the ritual from Tear Drop Lake before!"

Since the loop was only one to two seconds, Xia Duo simply gave up on everything else his avatar and main body were doing—in fact, he couldn't do anything anyway—and while maintaining the avatar's basic vigilance, he focused on analyzing the data collected from the Tear Drop Lake operation.

Just as Xia Duo thought, Dafuni was indeed in a dilemma; if she continued to create new Time Lines, it would only allow Xia Duo, who could retain his consciousness during the birth and death of the Time Line, to collect more information.

Right now, although Xia Duo was somewhat troubled—after all, having to return to the past every one or two seconds would make anyone feel unpleasant—fortunately, his consciousness could remain continuous during this process, and now was the time to compete with Dafuni in willpower.

And she also needed to find a way to truly resolve the other party within such constant "loops."

But if she just let Xia Duo go like this, it was clear that Xia Duo had already found a way to counter the Time Line tactics; once Xia Duo escaped, it would very likely lead to the collapse of the entire plan.

In other words, Dafuni was currently personally burying the plan she insisted on; the longer the loop, the better the burial effect.

And because his consciousness could remain continuous, although Xia Duo could not use tools outside of his consciousness, his consciousness itself could carry out sorting, analysis, and research work outside of practical operations.

Reversing one or two seconds and reversing one minute had completely different effects.

……

Whoever couldn't hold on first would lose.

……

And if the other party stopped looping, then Xia Duo would unceremoniously use the Divine Envoy's characteristics to Time Anchor those local battlefields where the Alliance had already achieved victory, thereby steadily securing the winning percentage.

Xia Duo needed to compare the Magic Net riot trends before and after the ritual went out of control during the Tear Drop Lake operation to exclude the Magic Net background parameters as much as possible, leaving only the details related to the ritual.

Although it was uncertain how much detail about Magic involving time Xia Duo could learn during this process, Dafuni was more worried about the risk of a global collapse caused by Xia Duo's escape.

"What exactly did you do?"

Although high-frequency Time Reversal felt very unpleasant, everything is afraid of comparison; compared to Xia Duo, besides having to endure such an experience, Dafuni also needed to pay the extra price of manipulating the Time Line.

Two days passed, and because he could not borrow the brain-computer or the Computing Power Pool (because these two types of assistance could not remain continuous in the Time Loop), his own processing speed was actually somewhat slow.

It would even be better if she could reshape a new history starting from the moment the Darkness Society was born, and then there wouldn't be these troublesome matters now.

Finally, two days later in Xia Duo's perceived time, Dafuni finally couldn't hold on anymore; she didn't stop the manipulation of the Time Line immediately, but at the beginning of every loop, she would ask Xia Duo:

……

At the same time, the Darkness Society's plan would also fall into stagnation during this process, not to mention the price she paid for it.

This was something Xia Duo hadn't even dared to think about before: letting the enemy work for him.

No matter how much time passes in a Time Loop, for the present world, it is always just that one or two seconds of the loop.

Isn't that even more unpleasant than Xia Duo?

Once he couldn't receive the Divine Envoy's Sending, the two sides could not form a connection sufficient to Time Anchor the past; in this way, although he could retain his consciousness during the Time Reversal, it was difficult to organize effective research, let alone push the other party's reversal Node backward (the direction of the future at this moment).

By this moment, the initiative for this event alone was no longer on the Darkness Society's side, because being able to retain his consciousness, Xia Duo even hoped the other party would loop a few more times to buy him time to study the ritual details collected from Tear Drop Lake earlier.

Thus, she could only constantly repeat the previous operation, but the interval of "reversing" time was much shorter, almost having to reverse once every one or two seconds.

Let's just wear each other out and see who can outlast whom!
