Chapter 33: Prelude to Honkai
The physical realm of temporal stillness has been lifted, and locked molecules have resumed their motion—
The AST group, or simply the DEM group, finally broke away from the momentary state of being forcibly frozen and regained their ability to move.
So, everyone couldn't stop themselves from falling to the ground all at once, and they all held the ground with their hands, as if they couldn't help it, gasping for breath.
"Whew~Whew, Whew......"
"Whew~Whew, Whew......"
For a moment, the air was filled with the sound of people panting one after another, and the neighborhood was eerily quiet in the shopping street area of the school.
Originally, their state was completely frozen, except for thinking, all life functions were fixed at that moment, and would not continue to be lost. In other words, even if you can't act, your condition won't deteriorate.
- If it weren't for the fact that the mind was still able to continue moving, they wouldn't even be aware that their time had been cut off.
However, just when the black-clothed young man left and lifted the alien blockade of the distorted laws on the scene, he glanced at everyone indifferently, intentionally or unintentionally.
It was a terrifying pressure that went far beyond the stillness of time itself, as if even thinking had been frozen in stagnation.
So at that moment, the people who resumed their operations were like divers about to be suffocated by the huge pressure under the seabed, and when they surfaced, they could not care about anything, but could only gasp for air.
After a long time, the wheezing sound slowly disappeared, and at this time, someone finally recovered and looked up at the space in front of him.
The vortex that looked like a portal in the game did not disappear, but was slowly rotating counterclockwise, and the passage behind it was a glittering alternate dimensional space-time, not knowing where to connect or where to go.
But they, who had just clearly listened to the conversation between the gods and the kite, kimbi, knew—
It's a time portal to the world of five years ago, and when you pass through it, you become a spirit and get a chance to go back in time and change your fate......
No, maybe not an opportunity.
Because of the ability to travel through time, the DEM club also has research, knowing that the angelic power possessed by a certain elf has such a possibility, which is also the most fearful of Shizaki Kurumi.
After all, it's the ability to jump in time that is absolutely against the sky in all kinds of fantasy works.,It's natural to make people think that as long as Kurumi Tokizaki has enough lifespan, it's possible to subvert everything from the source.。
In this way, the giants of the DEM club can't accept it at all, and they lose everything inexplicably, who can be willing!
But now it seems that there is no need to worry about it.
The god directly stated that the established fate could not be changed, and the history that had already happened could not be subverted by mortals, specifically that the end of the world line would lead to a common result.
Possibility is just a possibility, maybe the process is different, but the fundamental general direction cannot be changed.
It's like getting from point A to point B, you can choose to take a car, you can choose to walk, or even climb there little by little if you want.
These different ways of moving are a manifestation of the possibility, but the result is always to point B and will not change easily.
It's just that although everyone's thoughts are different at this time, they soon found that at this time, it is really not a good time to stop and think about the future-
Because if you can't live now, you won't have a future at all.
The sound sounded as if something had shattered, slight and clear, but no one should think it was an illusion.
The time vortex paused abruptly, and then quickly reversed in a counterclockwise rotation, and before everyone could react, it bloomed with an extremely violent black light!
Yes, the black glow, or rather the pitch-black darkness that devours the light, can only be determined by the outline of the edges.
Everyone immediately became stunned, and for a moment, they couldn't help but have the illusion that the world in their field of vision had turned upside down.
In the next moment-
As if the space itself had cracked, the vortex of time burst like a soap bubble, and an elven girl fell out from behind the door of time...... Or rather, the desperate "Demon King".
The darkness swallowed the light, slowly obscuring the moonlight like a lunar eclipse, causing the surrounding environment to quickly become dark. The darkness began to stir like a creature, and the space around it suddenly shook, as if it had been shaken.
A seemingly endless darkness spreads out at a rapid pace, cutting away all light, all hope, so vast that one can imagine it. The sky was filled with a dark color that was different from the night, and the darker darkness spread like a spider's web.
From the sky to the ground, countless black rays of light continue to shoot out.
The light easily pierced through all the pavement, green belts, and buildings on the ground, causing everything to crumble in an instant. Trees are falling and roads are broken.
The quiet shopping street inside the school has completely collapsed and collapsed into hell in an instant.
In the midst of the huge vibration and explosion, the DEM team quickly activated the tactical display device, and walked through the continuous explosions and collapses, and within a few seconds, all the staff had safely arrived hundreds of meters away, out of the range of the attack.
They looked back in disbelief as the detection device had revealed that the source of the attack was an elf with unprecedented power and reaction.
Or rather, the inversion of the elves.
Only when the elves' hearts are filled with deep despair, the elves with different powers than ordinary will appear, and that is the "Demon King" with the appearance of despair.
Floating in the dark air was a young girl, dressed in a spiritual costume that seemed to be the embodiment of the concept of darkness.
She hugged her knees, her head bowed as if she were rejecting the outside world, and floated in the air in defiance of gravity. Countless "feathers" floated around her, as if to protect her.
The darkness around her was devouring the light, and the shattered scene of destruction was like hell, but the girl's presence seemed to be isolated from the center of hell, and at a glance, her posture was full of stability and tranquility.
However, there is no way to change the strange sense of oppression exuded from her, and this contradictory reversal posture is undoubtedly the greatest manifestation of despair.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath as if they were afraid, and everyone clearly felt that some kind of destruction like a blade was coming towards them.
Maybe it's not deliberately targeted, but because you and others are nearby, it's directly classified as a part of everything that needs to be destroyed.
Because it is the posture of the "Demon King" who spreads destruction all over the world.
"Sure enough, it can't change the established facts of the past...... But what exactly did she see in that world five years ago? If it's just because there's no way to change what's already happened, it shouldn't be like this, right? ”
Elaine Mira Messers couldn't help but have a bitter expression, she was the strongest magician in the world, and her strength when wielding the manifestation device could easily defeat or even kill any elf.
However, that was under normal circumstances in the past, and now every elf has accepted the apocalypse and become "angels" who protect the primordial nature. As long as they go all out, then it is not something that mortals can fight, and they can push the strongest mortals into a desperate situation with one hand.
Not to mention the more terrifying "Demon King" as a reversal.
She didn't know what had happened to the origami of kites, it was completely broken. But she only knew one thing, it seemed impossible for her and the others to leave here alive.
……
……
The ten primordial essences of Kabbalah are the ten points of nothingness, neither nine nor eleven.
The ten primordial essences are in order from top to bottom, which are -
"Kether", "Wisdom", "Binah", "Chesed", "Geburah", "Beauty", "Victory", "Hod", "Yesod", "Malkuth".
- Among them, the kite origami is the "Kether" of the number one, and the night sword god Shika is the "kingdom" of the number 10.
The elves all have a number in their names, which just symbolizes the conceptual meaning of the ten primordial essences according to the serial number. If you connect one to ten in turn, this path is called the "Fire Sword Path".
However, now, Gokawa Shido and others need to climb the Tree of Life in reverse. And human beings are in individual kingdoms, passing through twenty-two paths to ten circles, and go on a meditative journey up to the crown.
Therefore, the order of the path of the fire sword is not feasible, or it needs to be reversed.
They have to start from the level of the Night Sword God Shika, and then go through all the particles along the way in reverse, and finally reach the first position of the kite origami, that is, until the crown.
found out that this problem was only noticed after they first rushed to Wuhe Qinli, and the result was that they had to grit their teeth and leave Wuhe Qinli again, and go to the side of the night sword god Shika-
There is no other way, and if you don't follow the right path, no one knows what will happen.
Maybe you can still defeat all the "angels" if you don't follow the order, but if you don't follow the right path, I'm afraid you'll never reach the Tower of God.
In the calm academy, the flames of war began to burn everywhere.
Under the agitation of human power, the surrounding environment was ruthlessly destroyed, the road surface cracked, the facilities collapsed, and the buildings collapsed. But under the influence of some strange force, as long as the destruction does not continue.
- Soon, the damaged environment will be like a videotape "rewinding", quickly returning to normal.
Although the process was very difficult and tortuous, in the battle with the reversed night sword god Shika, Gokawa Shido miraculously won the doomed victory, and then everything went smoothly.
How so?
It's like a legendary hero and a brave man, constantly defeating enemies along the way, and then some of them will be influenced and choose to join their team, increase their strength and then defeat more enemies.
After the addition of the Night Sword God Toka as a reversed body, the process became much smoother, and most of the other elves would choose to move forward together after being defeated.
For example, it's either like Shiito who has a friendship in his own right, or like Kurumi Tokizaki who doesn't care much about it, but wants to witness the last moment.
Either way, most of them want to see the end of the day, and the only way to reach the tower with them is to get to the tower for the time being.
In such a situation where it was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, even if many elves were paddling, they couldn't stop Gokawa Shido and the others from passing the level all the time, and finally came to the last "circle".
And then......
I saw the desperate demon cave.
"For ...... Why...... That's going to happen—"
Seeing the last elf that appeared in front of him and the others, no, it should be said that it was the demon king of the reversed body. Wuhe Shidao was unknown, and his voice became extremely bitter.
He even had the illusion of frustration in his own heart.
The kite is origami, and the last person turns out to be the kite origami. But why, did that resolute, strong-willed girl turn into this way?
What happened to her?
