Chapter 38: Once, Present, and Possible Future
I, I ......"
"No, it's not delicious!"
The more anxious the mirror became, the more it stammered.
What would normally take only one pause to finish now now requires not only twice, but also repeatedly.
This is quite a mistake for the Magic Mirror, which is trying to make itself 'concise'.
But now it doesn't care about that.
It's better to make a mistake than to be a 'food'!
It had no idea that two terrifying, irreversible beings would appear in the fate of the 'witch'.
It has done its best to avoid dealing with the first one.
Therefore, it will choose an appropriate time to appear.
But I didn't expect that there would be a second one.
Moreover, compared to the obvious of the first one, the second one is really 'the hidden of fate'.
Even it didn't even discover the true identity of the other party.
It is only when it is approached in the true sense that the 'hiddenness' in it is discovered, and the great horror in it is discovered.
Leave!
Get out now!
The thought popped into the Magic Mirror's mind.
However, it is a little hesitant.
Or rather, reluctantly.
Not only did it invest too much in the 'witch' in the early stage, but the initial mistake had already made it targeted by that person, which not only damaged its ability, but also turned into a stammer.
What's more, it can't go for a second target.
In the first four periods, there were already four positions in the 'nine positive positions'.
They are so powerful that no being dares to refute them.
Now all the guys are eyeing the fifth position.
Everyone who might compete for the fifth position is surrounded by the eyes of those guys, who don't let any being other than themselves get close to their own 'competitors'.
If it does, it will be endless.
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
The magic mirror thought, and the water droplets appeared on the mirror surface one by one, and the frame kept shaking.
Anxious!
Fear!
It is constantly present in its soul.
Then, it suddenly thought of a truth from the world in which it had been before—
Since you can't beat him, join him!
The mirror shook all over his body, and after the magic mirror shook all the water droplets away, he began to use his innate ability to peek into the future of doing so.
Destiny is like a river.
There is both a trunk and a branch.
The branches are intricate.
The trunk may also be rerouted.
So, fate is complicated.
It's unpredictable.
And it?
It's still impossible to predict, it's just a matter of looking at all the possibilities, calculating which one is the most likely, and then intervening at the most opportune time.
Of course, it used to have the ability to change a little.
Can now?
Injured it, it can't do it.
Moreover, it does not believe that it can find a more suitable person than the 'witch'.
Robust?
Naturally, there is.
For example, the one that is about to appear is.
But does it dare to cooperate with the other side?
Can't.
It is afraid of being eaten on its own.
It's as if it's now watching its fate with the other.
3 backbones of the River of Destiny: Eaten.
75,917 branches of the River of Destiny...... It's also eaten!
After the magic mirror saw these results, the whole mirror was about to suffocate.
Because it just saw 75,920 ways to die of its own.
It's horrible!
Eating raw and chewing dry is just normal.
The dipping sauce is also understandable.
What's going on with those fire-roasting and pot stewings?
And that little by little chewing slowly!
Look at it and make the mirror scared.
And, 75,920 times!
How obsessed are you with wanting to eat me?
In so many destinies, do you want to 'eat' throughout your life?
The magic mirror trembled more and more.
It wasn't good at dealing with similar things in the first place, but it finally made a decision.
"It's horrible!"
"No way!"
"Gotta leave!"
"The 'witch' has a ritual as a connection, and there is still a chance."
"Although I will give other guys a chance to take advantage of the situation, but if I don't leave, I won't have any chance!"
Thinking of this, the frame of the magic mirror began to shake again.
It's different from what I feared before.
This time the shaking was full of charm.
On the mirror, there are mysterious words composed of pictures and complex words.
Including the entire stone house, everything begins to become illusory.
It takes its 'home' with it and is going to be away for a while.
"I'll be back!"
The Magic Mirror thought.
Most of the stone house was gone, and the remaining half became illusory, and just as everything was about to disappear, a tall, strong figure appeared.
Jason saw the house that was about to disappear.
Without any hesitation, turn on the [Charge], and just head towards this original.
He could smell that the original rich fragrance was rapidly disappearing.
At a distance of 100 meters, stimulated by the 'food', Jason arrived in a breath.
At this time, stone houses also had buildings such as doorposts.
Jason raised his hand and grabbed it.
However, the palm of the hand passed through it.
"Huh?"
Jason was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to grab it again.
Same as the previous result.
The palm of the hand passed through the same way.
The Magic Mirror can't see all this, it has completely disappeared into this 'world', and is now trying to take 'home' away.
However, although it cannot be seen, it can be perceived.
That horrible creature is just outside its 'home' and is trying to grab its 'home'.
"Don't, don't say catch it with your hands, even if it's with your mouth and mouth......"
The magic mirror that is temporarily safe can't help but open his mouth, wanting to say a complete sentence of 'biting with his mouth, it's impossible', but the word 'mouth' has been repeated several times, but the 'bite' behind it can't be said.
In the end, the Magic Mirror chose to give up.
Who can be perfect?
Now that it has a flawless frame curve, a sparkling mirror, and a magnetic voice, it's not impossible to stutter.
It's a big deal, don't open your mouth in the future, just 'write'.
The Magic Mirror quickly made the biggest decision in the Mirror Student.
What it never knows, however, is how much potential Jason will explode when faced with a delicious 'food' that has never been seen before.
Its body and soul are long gone in this world.
Naturally, its voice of self-talk does not exist in this world.
The only thing that exists is its 'home'.
And this 'home' is about to disappear from this world.
But it still means 'connection'.
Very subtle 'connection'.
It's too much to say it's a gap.
But it was under this negligible 'connection' that Jason heard a repeating voice -
'Mouth, mouth, mouth! ’
Suddenly, Jason's eyes lit up!
The next moment, Jason directly opened his mouth and bit at the remnants of the stone house.
Call!
The moment he opened his mouth, a huge pitch-black shadow appeared behind him.
Scarlet eyes were fixed on the vanishing 'food', and when Jason opened his mouth, it opened its bloody mouth.
Click!
The two overlap.
Both mouths bite the 'food' almost at the same time!
Biting!
Jason instantly felt his teeth touch the real thing!
And when the tongue licks it slightly, there is a rich milky flavor blooming on the taste buds.
Hard cheese?
Jason's eyes lit up, and then his mouth was biting to death, his body straining, and his feet kept moving back.
He felt like he could 'pull' the food back.
The pitch-black figure, with Jason's hard pulling, also pulled, and the unprepared magic mirror was pulled and stumbled, and it was almost really 'pulled' back.
How can it be?!
Its mirror surface magnified in a circle, almost protruding from the frame.
Almost subconsciously, it used its own abilities.
Then, it saw Jason open his mouth and bite the corner of the doorpost of his 'home'.
At the same time, it also saw the huge illusory black shadow.
The moment he saw that huge black shadow, the magic mirror almost shattered on the spot.
"He, it, He ......"
"Again!"
The Magic Mirror roared in fear.
Then, he couldn't care about anything else, and directly cut off the 'home' that had not yet been 'worn'.
Click!
There was a sound in the void.
The pillar of the gate of the stone house was bitten off.
Jason raised his hand and hugged the goalpost.
And in the void, the magic mirror turned on its full power, and ran towards the distance with the ruined 'home'.
There was no looking back.
There is no stop.
Run!
Keep running!
It didn't even have any extra thoughts.
Because—
'Gluttonous Maharaja'!
It actually saw the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' who was born at the end of the Quaternary Age, and was most likely to obtain that position!
Although the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' appeared at the end of the Quaternary Age for less than a hundred years, in just one hundred years, the other party devoured more than half of the 'competitors'!
You know, at that time, the 'competitors' had already grown.
In mortal terms, it's a 'god'!
Can......
All eaten!
None of the 'competitors' will ever be alive after seeing the Gluttonous Maharaja.
Including, their 'investors'!
Like it, at least 100 were eaten!
More powerful than it?
Eat at least a thousand!
In fact, in the last century, those guys were the protagonists.
It?
It's just a passerby who wanders on the edge.
And because of this, it survived.
Be able to participate in the Fifth Age!
It also remembered that at that time, it had already thought that the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' would definitely become the fourth, and thus began to lay out the scenario of the Fifth Age.
It's not just it, it's the same for all the guys at that time.
They all thought that the Gluttonous Maharaja would be the fourth.
But the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' suddenly disappeared, just like the sudden appearance of the other party.
Then, let a 'little famous', but no one is optimistic about the existence become the fourth.
Although it chose the 'witch' to have a slight relationship with the other party, it had to say that the guy's luck was so good, so good that even the guys in charge of 'lucky' were envious.
When the other party inherited the fourth position, many guys were speculating, where did the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' go?
As for death, vanishing?
That's impossible.
Who is immortal?
All beings think of 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
Not only is it the strength of the other party itself, but also because the other party has devoured at least 99 gods with the prefix of 'life', and the vitality is abundant, which has long exceeded imagination.
But one thing is certain, and that is that some accident has happened to the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
Accidents that cannot be disobeyed.
Otherwise, no one will be able to give up the 'fourth place' position.
However, all beings also believe that such an accident cannot stop the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' forever.
The Gluttonous Maharaja will definitely be back!
With the same tyranny and gluttony as ever!
And......
Most likely, it will be our most formidable opponent in the next era.
At the time of the 'fourth' in the true sense of the word, all beings thought so.
Even, many existences are arranged in this way.
It is an exception.
Because, it knew that no matter how hard it tried, it would not be able to fight against the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
Therefore, as early as the beginning, it was decided to give up once it encountered the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
"However, the current 'gluttonous maharaja' is far from reaching the original level, can I ......?"
"No way!"
"It can't be like this!"
"If I find out, I'll be dead!"
After thinking carefully, the magic mirror finally shook his head.
It didn't dare to kill the 'Gluttonous Maharaja' in advance.
Because, it knows that even the extremely weak 'Gluttonous Maharaja' is still the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
It didn't dare to help the Gluttonous Maharaja.
Because, the pride of the 'gluttonous maharaja' will simply regard such help as a contempt and insult.
It was even more afraid to inform other beings of the appearance of the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
Because, it can be 100% sure, and once it says it, then it will become a bargaining chip for other beings to tempt the 'Gluttonous Maharaja'.
After thinking about it, the magic mirror suddenly realized that he couldn't do anything.
"I—I'm a piece of shit."
The magic mirror that pulled his 'home' and fled frantically in the void couldn't help crying.
Especially when I turned around and saw that the door of my 'home' was missing, I cried even more sadly.
The cry spread far and wide through the void.
Then, abruptly, the cry stopped.
The mirror of the magic mirror flickered, as if it was confused, and felt an irresistible force appear on its body.
Then, it went black.
When it saw things again, it saw a girl of seven or eight years old.
It only takes one glance to confirm that this is Jennifer.
Jennifer who looks like a child.
But how could she pull it back from the void?
She's strong, but she shouldn't have that ability at all.
The magic mirror subconsciously wants to peep at Jennifer.
"If you dare to peep into my fate, I'll give you to Jason."
The crisp voice sounded like a demon's whisper in the magic mirror, and it immediately stopped.
And at this time, it realized that it had turned into a mirror with a handle that could be easily held in its hand.
Its handsome appearance has not changed because it has shrunk, on the contrary, it has become more and more refined.
It's just that......
What happened?
It is known as 'omniscient', but it suddenly discovers, and it is only today that it discovers that one day, it will have so many questions.
"Ask you a question, tell me the answer, and I'll get you back to normal."
"If you dare to be silent and dare to deceive me, I will give you honey to Jason."
Jennifer sat in a chair, holding the mirror, and said slowly.
Magic Mirror: Excuse me (I think writing makes me more attractive, what do you think?) )
……
Jennifer, who looked like she was seven or eight years old, stared at the words on the mirror of the magic mirror, frowning, but at this moment she didn't pay attention to these at all, she asked in a deep voice word by word-
"Do you know about the 'gigantic city'?"
