Chapter 3502

Rick's eyelid twitched.

But before he could speak, Louise eagerly took over, "Don't worry."

Louise raised her magic staff high, and in the next instant, terrifying, surging magic—powerful enough to alter the weather—erupted from her body.

"Things are getting: interesting."

Lapussas, hovering high in the sky, frowned slightly; though Louise's current power still couldn't threaten him, he was certain she had never possessed such strength in the original story.

She was far, far stronger than in the original...

"In other words, should everyone else here—like Hōraisan Kaguya—also be much stronger than in the original story?"

In that moment, Lapussas understood why Hōraisan Kaguya had been able to injure him so easily.

The next instant, he felt the flow of time slow again.

"Do you think I'd fall for the same trick twice?"

Lapussas sneered, his wings fluttering slightly; he disrupted the flow of time, surrounding himself with a profound, unfathomable river of time, "Let's see how you get close."

"That's hard to say."

A voice laced with amusement suddenly appeared behind him.

It was Hōraisan Kaguya.

Before Lapussas could unfold his river of time, she had already used time stop to appear beside him, a faint smile on her lips, gently tapping his shoulder with her folding fan.

"What?"

Lapussas's pupils shrank sharply—he realized his own timeline was reversing, the river of time around him dissolving, his body gradually regressing from adulthood to childhood.

A sharp crack rang out, and Lapussas used spatial teleportation to appear kilometers away.

He gasped for breath, his expression filled with dread.

Now, he looked no older than fifteen.

That wasn't the worst part—the worst was that his power had also diminished along with the reversal of his time.

"Truly terrifying."

Lapussas licked his lips, his expression shifting several times before he calmed, his eyes glinting with coldness, "I was careless... In terms of mastering the mysteries of time, I am inferior to you."

"But what I control isn't just time... Hōraisan Kaguya, next, I will give you my all to defeat you."

"Please do your best,"

Hōraisan Kaguya said calmly and gracefully, "I also hope you can give me a bit more entertainment."

In the guild chat room.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "!!!!!"

Sazex: "That's a solid flex!"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "This enemy... isn't weak."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "Weak? Pfft! He almost got killed by Hōraisan Kaguya in a back alley last time!"

Hōraisan Kaguya: ""

Hōraisan Kaguya: "What do you mean 'back alley'? My power is clearly superior—this isn't luck, it's outright crushing!"

Hōraisan Kaguya was visibly disgruntled.

Kiyohiko Kayaba Akihiko: "That's so real."

Du Dao Ya Zi: "I think... Miss Night's power isn't necessarily much stronger than his... There's a gap, but they're still in the same tier."

Edogawa Conan: "That might have been true before, but..."

Conan adjusted his glasses, then stated his conclusion.

Edogawa Conan: "Now, the other transmigrator has been ambushed by Hōraisan Kaguya."

"On the surface, he's not only regressed to childhood, his aura has also become extremely weak."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "No wonder you're a detective—you observe so thoroughly."

Kill Teacher: "So... the balance of battle is tipping toward Miss Night."

Shihō Kaguya: "Every time you say 'Kaguya,' I feel weird."

Shihō Kaguya's expression was peculiar.

Tsuchimikado Natsume: "Actually, whenever you guys in the guild call someone 'Natsume' or tag 'Natsume,' I feel weird too."

Tsuchimikado Natsume shrugged, indicating Shihō Kaguya's situation wasn't unique.

Natsume: "!!!!"

Natsume: "So it's my fault?"

Natsume looked utterly helpless.

Tōgō Shijūrō: "Everyone, look—Hikari Kanade-san just pulled off something amazing."

"Alone! Facing down countless angels!"

Tōgō Shijūrō: "Finally, she used her white wings to completely overpower the angelic elites."

Tōgō Shijūrō stared intently at the guild livestream.

At this moment, Hikari Kanade spread her wings and danced gracefully in midair.

Like a beautiful butterfly, yet beneath her exquisite dance lay terrifying lethal intent.

Suffocating.

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "Ze Tian Gang Ji feels deeply moved."

Lelouch: "How can you ignore Louise and Rick? Their displayed power is terrifying too."

"One uses magic to completely suppress demons crawling out of hell, and the other..."

"Is Rick even using magic?"

Lu Luxiu suddenly froze; as he watched, he couldn't shake the feeling that Rick's power was off.

Claire: "It holds a part of the essence of magic... but another part is power of a different attribute."

Claire furrowed her brows, sensing that the other part of the power felt unfamiliar.

Even if she tried to analyze it in detail, she couldn't figure it out.

Tian Dao: "......"

Tu Shan Honghong: "Let's set Rick aside for now... I feel the power on Louise's body isn't pure magic."

After a brief pause, Tu Shan Honghong spoke cautiously.

Tu Shan Honghong: "Her magical energy... also carries the feel of the cultivation methods from the Li Zhao series in the guild chat room."

Tsuchimikado Mai: "!!!!"

Oda Nobuna: "Terrifying."

Liu Maoxing: "Dual-cultivating magic and cultivation? Sure, that's powerful."

Yukinoshita Yuki: "I'd thought about this before... but due to various factors and the excessively high difficulty..."

That's why I never implemented it! I never expected Louise Young Lady to accomplish it."

Yukinoshita Yuki now felt a pang of reflection.

Yato: "...... Honestly, I think the difficulty isn't that great! Using guild points to boost once could easily fuse them."

If all else fails, cultivate both powers first, then see if there's... some kind of... self-Dao fusion quest."
