Chapter 3495: Death Once More, Alliance Headquarters Under Attack

————Currently rushing~~

————

As for the Time Force Xia Duo consumed in the last time line reset, it was about the same as his estimate, still around fifty units, with no obvious increase or decrease.

As for the trip to Taiweimansa, the ideal situation did not occur; Xia Duo only managed to catch Kalano before being targeted by Dafuni, who arrived quickly.

But under his intentional avoidance of battle and the deterrence of War Spells, the two sides did not have a direct confrontation, which could be considered as achieving his goal of hiding the fact that he could transcend the Time Line with his consciousness and intended to collect Time Force.

Next, this Time Line would be entirely Xia Duo's home field.

After the reinforcements from Xinnaliya and Beilunuo joined, the Alliance fought back and forth with the Illuminati on various local battlefields, and stimulated by the reinforcements, the various countries also accelerated their conscription speed, making the situation look very good.

But for Xia Duo, local battlefields were not important; they were merely tools used to delay the progress of the Illuminati's ritual, as long as the situation did not become one-sided for the Alliance.

His true goal remained those key battlefields identified in the previous few time lines; only those key battlefields could collect Time Force, and as long as he could continuously collect Time Force, he could make this war last until the end of time.

Of course, in reality, it is impossible for such an outrageous scene to occur.

Whether it is Dafuni accelerating the ritual progress at the Time Line level, or he himself repeatedly resetting the Time Line to anchor victories and collect Time Force, both will cause the final collision between the two sides to happen sooner.

Therefore, this is actually a war whose outcome can be seen at a glance.

As for the victory or defeat of the war, judging from the time Perception Xia Duo has developed after using Time Force many times, he has a faint premonition—that he can win.

Of course, the premise is that he continues to do what he is doing now, and that there are no major variables on the Illuminati side.

……

After the Battle of Tear Drop Lake, Xia Duo came to the banks of the Xiangshui River on the southern border of Yierlan again; in the previous time line, he collected about half a Time Gem's (initial state) worth of Time Force here.

Without considering decay, it is enough for him to reset the Time Line seven or eight times.

And now, coming to this "old place" again, and while the Illuminati has no awareness of his existence, Xia Duo has a few more expectations for this harvest.

Soon, before the Alliance Monitoring Center detected the Time-Involving Signal, the Time Flow Regulator that had already been put into use began to collect Time Force again.

Not long after this, Xia Duo received a synchronization of information from the Alliance Monitoring Center, saying that a relatively strong Time-Involving Signal response had been detected in the central area of Xiangshui Lake.

"What is the specific level of the signal intensity?"

"The peak reached Level 4, and it is now stable at Level 3."

According to the standards set by the Alliance Time Research Laboratory for Time-Involving Signals, below Level 1 can be regarded as normal background fluctuations of the Time Line, and reaching Level 1 can basically be considered as the appearance of some interference factor.

Starting from Level 2, the higher it goes, the more it indicates human factors, and it also represents the intensity of the Time Line Fluctuation; a peak of Level 4 stabilizing at Level 3 must be where the Illuminati's Time-Involving Ritual is located.

It is just that the Alliance in this Time Line has not yet been able to judge the criticality of this battlefield at the Xiangshui River, and still only regards it as an ordinary Time Signal Source Point, so the forces dispatched are not prominent.

Xia Duo did not remind the Alliance side, and even actively avoided the command of this battlefield, only focusing on collecting his Time Force, after all, this Time Line would most likely be abandoned by him anyway.

Anyway, he can start over, so there is no need to take the Alliance's losses on the local battlefield too seriously, as long as the overall situation is not at a major disadvantage.

Xia Duo can feel the cause of this mentality he has now, and can also understand that this mentality may lead to less than ideal results, but for now, this is indeed a relatively ideal way to handle it.

And because of this, he is even more disgusted with the existence of the Illuminati.

Mastering Time Force to toy with all living beings, this is what the Illuminati is doing; in order to fight the Illuminati, Xia Duo even repeatedly learns to do what the Illuminati does, which he actually does not like to do himself.

Controlling the Time Line feels more evil than controlling other people's minds!

……

Almost an hour passed, and the Alliance Mages unsurprisingly suffered a crushing defeat on the banks of the Xiangshui River; Xia Duo watched those Alliance Mages die or flee, and his heart was touched, and he had the thought of wanting to intervene, but he eventually gave up.

Just like the Alliance Mages who sacrificed in the Battle of Tear Drop Lake in the first time line, Xia Duo changed the result of that battle immediately after restarting the Time Line, but doing so did not have much practical significance.

Because that Time Line was replaced by a new Time Line again, and everything could only stay in Xia Duo's memory; the so-called result of the failure of the Battle of Tear Drop Lake did not actually exist.

At least it did not exist in the memories of those Alliance Mages who personally experienced the battle.

"A total of three hundred units."

On the way to the next key battlefield, Xia Duo carefully checked the Time Force reserves in the Time Flow Regulator and found that the Time Force he collected on the Xiangshui River battlefield this time was more than in the previous time line.

In the previous time line, the Time Force he collected was less than three hundred units, but now it has exceeded it; it is hard to say what this means, and Xia Duo will not change his plan.

Because he encountered Dafuni camping at the Red River Valley battlefield in the previous time line, this time, Xia Duo simply changed to a different battlefield; anyway, after collecting, organizing, and analyzing information on Time-Involving battlefields through several time lines, it can be roughly determined that there are more than five key battlefields.

There is no need to collect strictly in chronological order, and even as long as he collects more Time Force than is needed to reset the Time Line in one time line, it is considered a profit, and the Illuminati will pay a greater price for this.

And the Time Force required to reset the Time Line only needs the fifty units Xia Duo defined himself; now he has already collected 300 units, which is already far exceeding expectations.

Even because he collected more than 300 units twice in a row (the previous time plus what was collected when fighting Dafuni in Taiweimansa exceeded it).

There is no need to collect strictly in chronological order, and even as long as he collects more Time Force than is needed to reset the Time Line in one time line, it is considered a profit, and the Illuminati will pay a greater price for this.

In the previous time line, the Time Force he collected was less than three hundred units, but now it has exceeded it; it is hard to say what this means, and Xia Duo will not change his plan.

Therefore, this is actually a war whose outcome can be seen at a glance.

As for the victory or defeat of the war, judging from the time Perception Xia Duo has developed after using Time Force many times, he has a faint premonition—that he can win.
