Time is a great force that cannot be changed in the eyes of mortals, but time is, after all, only an abstract concept in mortal self-understanding.

In the face of some greater powers, seemingly indestructible time can also be changed at will. But the greatness of time lies in the fact that the waves that arise at a certain point in the long river of time will brew greater miracles or worse disasters as the timeline continues to pass.

At the moment when Merlin intervened in the English Wizarding War, in the unknown place of this universe, at the source of all stories, at the end of the stars, a trace of waves from the unknown caused an uproar in this place.

"What the hell is going on?"

The Overlord who was sitting at the Stars table stood up sharply, his hands propped up on the starlit table, and he looked ahead with a hint of anger and surprise.

There, behind the table, the light curtain that was supposed to show all of Merlin's movements, like a TV series fast-forwarded with a remote control.

One moment ago, the bigwigs could still see Merlin arriving at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Paris, but in the next second, the scene jumps to Merlin and Hermione standing behind the destroyed Malfoy Valley.

It's like a pair of invisible hands in front of everyone's eyes who have intercepted a small piece of time that belongs to Merlin out of thin air.

But this is theoretically impossible!

Those who are qualified to enter this place and watch this gamble are also the weakest single universe-level bosses, and there are several powerhouses of the multiverse like Overlord Cyber.

If you want to cover the gaze of so many bigwigs at once, unless it is an existence of the same level as them, it is impossible to do it!

"There is power that obscures our gaze!"

On the other side of the table, the blindfolded Grim Reaper Tyrion stared at the Overlord with his right eye, his face was cold, and his tone was cold:

"Time is sped up... Did you do it? ”

"Me? Why should I do this? ”

Faced with the questioning of the god of death, the overlord frowned and retorted:

"Even if I wanted to cheat, I wouldn't use such a low-level method."

"Who else in the room can change the time?"

The Grim Reaper asked again.

The overlord's gaze suddenly fell on the audience, and the bigwigs seemed to be discussing this matter, and from time to time there were suppressed whispers in the audience.

"Nope! Not the people here. ”

As the referee, Gao Tianzun said at this moment:

"Pocket Universe is in my studio, and I can see everything that's going on here. This is the power of the rules given to me by the authority of the Elders of the Universe, and no one can hide it from me unless the Life Court interferes. ”

The old hippie with a strange hairstyle said to the Overlord and the Grim Reaper with a serious face:

"It's a force from the outside!"

"Hell!"

The overlord scolded, and he said with a gloomy face:

"Who revealed the news? And who is interfering with us? ”

"Take a look at your gems!"

Gao Tianzun said to the overlord:

"You set the timeline of the Pocket Universe, go back in time and see what just happened?"

"Wait a minute!"

The overlord's fingers moved slightly, and the six gems of different colors on his wrist quickly detached from the bracelet, suspended behind him, and the green, time-represented gems were beating, and under the gaze of the big guys, at the end of this pocket universe, the light of the stars began to blur, as if it was pulled by an invisible hand.

But just when the timeline was really touched, the bone-white dice placed in the center of the table suddenly jumped without anyone urging them.

The dice of fate spun in the air for a few weeks as if held by an invisible hand, and then smashed into the stars table like a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Huh"

The timeline retracement destroyed by the Time Gem is forcibly terminated by the vibration of the drop of the Dice of Fate.

"What's wrong?"

Death asked.

"It's stopping me."

The Overlord looked down at the glittering bone dice of fate, and said:

"It doesn't allow me to intervene in the events it has chosen... Uh, I mean, it doesn't allow me to break its rules. Fate is invisible, but what has already happened cannot be changed, and only the established past can determine the disorderly future..."

"Can it affect you?"

A skeptical glint flashed in the right eye of Tyrion, the god of death, and he said:

"I'm now more and more suspicious that you did this as you did last time you cheated. Maybe it's a thief's trick to catch a thief. ”

"Of course it doesn't affect me."

Overlord Cyber reluctantly withdrew the six gems, he spread his hands, and explained to the Grim Reaper:

"But if I forcibly go back in time, my power will collide with the power of the fate bone dice, which will definitely destroy this rare dice with its own consciousness, and our gamble will not be able to proceed."

“......”

The two of them stretched out a finger, which was enough to erase the earth, and they were speechless at this moment.

They were stuck in a kind of stalemate.

"I think our focus should be on something else!"

Gao Tianzun opened his mouth at this moment and said:

"It doesn't matter who the mysterious meddler is, or how he did it. He changed the time and concealed what Merlin had done in this vanished time, which must have had some kind of purpose. ”

His words immediately reminded the two bigwigs who were at an impasse.

"Merlin's timeline is set in your world!"

Tyrion, the god of death, reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, he thought for a moment, and said softly:

"So what do you know about this wizarding war? Perhaps we can deduce what Merlin did during this time of vanishing. ”

"That's right, Merlin is indeed a template of my world."

The overlord sighed, he looked at the fate bone dice that gradually dissipated, and shook his head a little helplessly:

"But all the events he encountered, they were randomly chosen by the Destiny Bone Dice..."

"It's a shame that I don't know the story of the wizarding world. Danvers' story, it didn't happen in my world, I didn't know anything about it. ”

“......”

The two bigwigs fell into an eerie silence again.

Overlord Cyber turned his head, he looked at the recorder who was sitting on the side, with a quill in hand, and was writing something on an open book, and he asked softly:

"Oneiroi, you, who represent the memories of infinite beings, must know this story, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Oneiroi looked up, and the handsome man's face was covered with strips of cloth. In the face of the overlord's inquiry, he replied gently but undeniably:

"But I can't tell you."

"I'm a storyteller, not a teller. If you want to know all the mysteries, then wait until the story is over and I'll tell you about it. ”

"And what if I have to know?"

There was a hint of danger in the overlord's tone.

Oneiroi smiled at this faint threat, he stretched out his finger, pointed upward, and he whispered:

"It's true that I'm not good at fighting, but I can barely resist the Heavenly Punishment of the Overlord and the annihilation of the Grim Reaper. I would like to remind both of you that this is a secret gamble, once the aftermath of the battle is observed by the Court of Life... So what will be the outcome of this impermissible gamble, I don't think I need to say more. ”

“......”

Oneiroi's words silenced both sides of the table once again.

Betting on a secretly created pocket universe will inevitably not be allowed by the absolutely just and ruthless court of life.

Once things go down, the game is terminated, and the pocket universe used for refuge is reclaimed, the slightest consequence is the slightest.

The most serious consequence is that none of the people present will want to run away in the face of the angry court of life.

The current situation is best described by a common saying.

This is the most vivid embodiment of the fear of the two ends of the wolf with a hemp stick.

"Ahem."

Referee Gao Tianzun glanced at the two of them, he coughed lightly, and said:

"In the current situation, since the truth of the matter cannot be found from the outside, why not ask our observers? Phantom Stranger has been observing the progress of the gambling game in the pocket universe, and the time will inevitably be changed to hide from him, so it will be clear if you ask? ”

"It's not that simple."

The Overlord shook his head, a hint of caution and seriousness flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"If that mysterious interferor can hide from us, he will naturally hide from Judas..."

A few minutes later, the Phantom Stranger in the Pocket Universe sent back a message with only four words.

"Everything works."

This result was not expected by the overlord, and the Phantom Stranger in the game didn't even feel the strange change in time.

"Hell!"

The Overlord stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and he whispered:

"We've been calculated, and it's a sign of a runaway of control."

He looked up at Merlin talking to Hermione in the frame. After a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with interest:

"But it's okay, more variables, more fun. Let's see if Merlin, who has been helped, can finally jump out of our palms. ”

The expressionless Grim Reaper also nodded, for him, who was already in a weak position, any variables were not necessarily a bad thing.

He turned his head to look at the referee and said:

"Since there is an unexpected force intervening in this round, then... Abolition? ”

"Hmm."

Gao Tianzun, as the referee, nodded:

"I announce! This round ends early! The two move on to the next round of craps! ”

"Huh"

The self-aware Destiny Bone Dice fell into the hands of the Overlord, and he looked at the dice in his hand, and then at the Grim Reaper across the table, and he whispered:

"It's a shame that Merlin didn't find the threats that lurked in the darkness around him. The seeds have already begun to sprout, Lord Tyrion, and if you don't do something about it, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”

"How do you know that I didn't do anything?"

The Grim Reaper stared at the Overlord with his own one-eyed, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face, and he said:

"How do you know that I didn't leave a trail behind?"

This smile made the overlord's expression stranger, and he threw the dice and said to the god of death:

"You cheated too?"

In the face of the overlord's inquiry, the Grim Reaper returned to that expressionless state, and he replied softly:

"Guess."

"Smack"

The dice thrown by the Overlord tumbled in the starlight before falling onto the table, where a vague shadow was reflected in the air on the upward side of the Destiny Dice.

It was a burning, rusty mechanical gear in flames.

"Well, 'mechanical strife'."

Overlord looked at the gear, and he nodded with satisfaction:

"Finally a story that I know, and it seems that I have a big advantage in this game."

"Don't talk so much."

Death shook his head, he reached out and grabbed the Destiny Bone Dice and flicked it without looking, and the heavy dice tumbled in the air and landed in the middle of the table.

The next moment, a dark projection appeared above the table, and at the end of the darkness, a light like dawn was beating, and in that light, the silhouette of a goddess faintly appeared.

Looking at this projection, the overlord's expression immediately became difficult to look at, while the expression of the god of death became relaxed.

"Oh, the 'Reverse Light'."

"The brightest light is often born in the deepest darkness."

The Grim Reaper said in a playful tone:

"In the last round, he didn't find the threat in the dark, this round, hehe... The seed you planted will wither! If you don't do something about it, it's probably too late. ”

"Let's wait and see."

The overlord retorted stiffly, but this could not change the fact that his luck was very poor.

If Merlin is lucky enough in this round, the trap he carefully placed at Merlin's feet will be completely dismantled in one go.

"Speaking of which, you really don't care, did Merlin get anything out of that missing time?"

Before announcing the start of a new round of stories, referee Gao Tianzun asked a more personal question:

"What if that's a vital thing?"

"Hehe, there's no need to pay attention."

The Overlord sat back in his chair, he turned his attention back to the light curtain, he looked at Merlin's back, and said:

"Even if a child is given a gun, will he be able to fight the giants? Whatever Merlin gets, he's going to have to keep working hard if he wants to get out of it all, I mean, harder. ”

Death also shook his head, and said in a dead voice:

"The story has not yet entered the critical place, and a slight deviation cannot change the direction of the river of fate."

"Okay."

Gao Tianzun shrugged his shoulders, he raised his hands and said in a serious voice:

"As a referee, I announce, a new round, open!"

"Huh"

A faint ray of invisible light spilled from the end of the stars to the entire galaxy at this moment, like a dawn piercing the endless darkness.

At the same time, Merlin, who was talking to Hermione, suddenly heard the sound of a cell phone ringing in his pocket.

He picked up his phone, glanced at the familiar number, frowned, and put the phone to his ear:

"Hello? Fury? Is there anything urgent? ”

In the smoke rising from the destruction of Malfoy Valley, Fury's serious and anxious voice rang over the phone:

"Leave all your work to Gatler and go to London at once, there's a plane waiting for you."

"Another S-Class incident has happened, in Argentina!"
