Chapter 585

【

Although she had entrusted this task to Illya, Tian Zhong felt little concern. She said gently, "As far as Tian Zhong is concerned, the worst-case scenario is merely the destruction of humanity; it is of no consequence."

Gaia existed only for the continuation of the planet; humanity was entirely irrelevant.

"What are you saying, Ms. Tian Zhong!" Illya shouted.

Illya hurriedly looked toward the Young Gilgamesh; he had just promised to grant her a wish!

The Young Gilgamesh sighed. Although he had said that, but...

"Look at the current situation. This world is only half a step away from the end. The only reason the world has not yet been destroyed is because we observers still exist, halting the world at the very moment before its destruction."

"In our subjective time, Darius can never cross the void; it is as if he is frozen one second before the finish line."

Illya understood. Simply put, they were doomed!

"If there is any possibility left, it lies in... the past."

It was precisely for this reason that Tian Zhong had appeared here, utilizing the Second Magic to achieve an infinite supply of magical energy, combined with the Young Gilgamesh's Clairvoyance that could see through the past and future!

Finally, adding Tian Zhong, the terminal that proved the planet's existence!

They would achieve a super-magical miracle that even the Fifth Magic could not realize!

"We shall be the ones to send Illya back to the past!"

The void began to shatter, and a ripple appeared before Illya. Before she could react, she was pulled into it.

Light and shadow flowed, as if a vast galaxy were sweeping past Illya. This beautiful sight left her stunned in place.

But... the path back to the past meant that Illya would fall into an irredeemable abyss—

】

【Chaos Evil Gudako: "? What does that mean? Illya saves the world and destroys the Lostbelt? Where does that leave me, Fujimaru Ritsuka! I am the professional Lostbelt solver here!"】

【Jozu: "Hm? I recall it being said that we would be shown what a true magical girl is? Although it's not as miserable as the previous one, it feels about the same."】

【Puri-Puri Prisoner: "So, is the ultimate destination of a magical girl always tragic?!! No! How can I become a magical girl like this! What happened to being made of sugar, spice, and everything nice!"】

【Akemi Homura: "Can you... just die?"】

【Kaname Madoka: "How could it be like this... even though it was so beautiful at the beginning."】

【Kinomoto Sakura: "Wuwuwu, the magical girls of other worlds... are truly too miserable!"】

【Ruby: "Ahhhhh! Why treat my Illya like this! Gaia, Alaya, you two are bastards!"】

【Sakata Gintoki: "Hilarious. These days you can even see the contradictions between Alaya and Gaia. The conflict between Gaia and Alaya is absolutely irreconcilable. If humanity wants to survive and develop, it must consume the Earth; if it doesn't consume, it can only wait for death."】

【Vaccine Man: "Just call them parasites. Besides sucking the blood of Mother Earth, what use is humanity!"】

Naruto World

"Reversing the long river of time," Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, his snake-like pupils revealing a hint of excitement and contemplation.

After seeing so many worlds, as the number one scientist of the ninja world, he could not help but start thinking about his own world.

In the past, he had always thought about how to achieve his own immortality, but he had never considered whether the world he lived in, like human life, would reach an end.

That's right, human life has an end, so why wouldn't the world?

Orochimaru gradually understood what cosmic heat death was, what entropy increase and decrease meant, and what the long river of time was...

However, Orochimaru did not believe that time flowed like a river only toward the downstream. No... more accurately, it was like a Möbius strip in other worlds!

Time is flowing, but it will eventually return to the starting point!

Orochimaru gazed at Illya, who was reversing the long river of time in the screen, and licked his dry lips again.

Compared to immortality and lamenting the fragility of life, he had a new goal!

He would explore the truth that no one in the ninja world had ever explored!

PS: I will write the God's Wrath arc immediately after finishing this Illya part, I promise!! Long!

Chapter 287: Star Record Belt! Fifth Magic User Illya! The Partner of Justice Will Eventually Corrupt!

【

"After welcoming the ending of death, nothing exists here anymore. Illya, please search the past world for something that can prevent this destruction," Ruby comforted.

As for what could save this world on the verge of destruction?

It certainly didn't know~

The Young Gilgamesh suddenly remembered something at the end and pointed to the black mud beneath the giant's body. "I said before that Illya was the last survivor, but there is one more."

"That is Pan Duola—"

"Then, have a pleasant journey, Illya~"

】

【Merlin: "Yay! It's the Fifth Magic User Illya-chan! We are saved!"】

【Deadpool: "Sure enough, when things develop to an unmanageable point, time travel is always the most omnipotent solution. Damn time fugitives! I, Deadpool, special agent of the Time Variance Authority, represent our great god Loki-chan to eliminate you all!"】

【Loki: "I'm about to throw up my dinner from last night, please stop talking."】

【Gabriel: "So, you mean sacrificing Illya at a critical moment can grant a chance to reload a save? Is that what it means?"】

【Illya: "Angel-san, please don't say such terrifying things!"】

【Aozaki Touko: "Oh my~ it really is Aoko's Fifth Magic. I just don't know how far back this time travel can go~"】

【Tokisaki Kurumi: "Hehe, time abilities are indeed interesting~ I just love this ability so much~!"】

【DIO: "... Traveling through time at every turn, have you considered the feelings of other small breads?!"】

【Aqua: "Setting aside what 'small bread' you're talking about, you're just jealous, aren't you! Three-second man!"】

【Three-Body Leader: "What is the use of going back? Even if Darius is stopped, won't this planet, already on the verge of extinction, still perish at some point in the future? Is the key to save so-called friends and partners? Shouldn't it be to save this planet?"】

【Luo Ji: "Don't worry about magical girl business! Besides, didn't you hear Illya say she wants both the world and her partners!"】

【【Garbled text: Why is time travel always the ultimate solution for all magical girls?】】

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone saw the 【Garbled text】, and their expressions froze, as if it were really like that.

Because of her time ability, Homura not only created Madoka but also transformed herself into such a terrifying super-dimensional existence. Now, Illya was the same.

Time, once involved with such things, the implications are just too massive.

Besides, once she returns to the past and comes back, who knows what Illya will become?

In Chaldea

Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze fell on Illya.

Her eyes could not help but soften with sadness. This girl was an existence even more miserable than her...

As a gathering place for Heroic Spirits, she had naturally heard about Illya, but apart from the magical girl Illya, the Illyas of other worlds either had their hearts ripped out or died young.

Now, just when she thought being a magical girl was Illya's destiny, another big one came along?

A moment later, Fujimaru Ritsuka reached a conclusion: "Magical girl... not even a dog would want to be one!"

【

Deep, long, vast, without direction, without sound, as if swallowed into darkness.

The girl felt a great sense of loneliness. In this void of desolate darkness, it felt as if time itself had stalled.

But the girl's eyes suddenly sparkled at a certain point; ahead, a faint starlight shone—

The girl kept approaching, passing through the long darkness, and the next moment, the whole world brightened—

Countless star chains connected constellations, the constellations echoed each other, illuminating this pitch-black world. Those were the trajectories of all things born and dying on Earth, the records of star fates!

"So beautiful..." Illya whispered involuntarily, a sigh for the beauty of the brilliant star chains themselves, and also a sigh for the brilliance of life.

"It is very beautiful~" A lively voice suddenly appeared in Illya's ear. Illya was startled. "Eh! Why does Ms. Tian Zhong seem to have become so cute!"

A miniature version of Tian Zhong was seen holding a guide piece, flying to Illya's Front Side.

She pointed to a particularly long star chain. "That is Pan Duola's record."

Compared to other short star chains, Pan Duola's almost traversed the entire pitch-black world!

In that record belt, Illya saw the weeping Lord Lord Julian and the reason Pan Duola transformed into Erica.

Darius had degraded Pan Duola's spirit, turning her into a young child. It seemed she had forgotten her troubles and sorrows, but it was nothing more than a low-quality lie.

"This kind of behavior is definitely wrong!" Illya looked at what Darius had done to Pan Duola in the record belt and couldn't help but say angrily!

But in an instant, Darius suddenly turned his head and looked at Illya!

"Is something wrong, Illya?" the miniature Tian Zhong asked, looking at the uneasy Illya.

"Nothing, just... just now..." Illya didn't know if it was her imagination.
