The raging black flames silently shrouded the black iron man, instantly scorching half of the metal body, causing the new body shared by Zhang Luo and Frankenstein to quickly shrink in the flames. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's a ...... of that"

Enduring the severe pain to the bone, Zhang Luo completely gave up his futile defense, concentrated his strength to the limit, and began to try to activate the terrifying ability he had already obtained, but had been unable to use:

"Time Control, Level 1."

"With the ability of Time Keeper, you can now perform brief manipulations on the timeline, transporting yourself to a designated time and place. Due to the limitations of the human body, this skill can only be activated once every 100 days. ”

When he was thrown at the Novaya Zemlya nuclear explosion test site used by the Soviet Union to test the Tsar Bomba, Zhang Luo relied on this ability to forcibly reverse time and return to the original timeline. can travel through time and space with the physical body, and it can undoubtedly be regarded as a real divine skill. But for humans to use this forbidden power, they must wait a hundred days before they can do it.

But now, I can't wait any longer!

Zhang Luo knew that his only hope of killing this completely immortal female form Lucas was to do "that thing". But that thing could only be done by planeswalking, because the person he needed to find now didn't exist at all in the current time!

-- Think back to how you did it.

The Black Iron Man, who was being burned by the black flames, with his powerful mental power, temporarily ignored the severe pain on his body and began to recall the last time he used "Time Control".

――If the Time Keeper wants to manipulate time, it is not as troublesome as people think, and it only takes a single thought to easily switch to another timeline.

At that time, I also went back to 2015 from 1961 through an idea, avoiding being directly bombed into debris by a nuclear bomb. So, what is needed now is to find a way to unlock this ability that is still "on cooldown"!

"Die." Facing the enemy who was about to be completely burned out in ten seconds, the brown-haired woman smiled brightly, and the flames on her body weakened slightly.

Then, she heard the black iron man standing in the pitch-black flames, his body shrinking rapidly, suddenly speak.

"Maybe humans can't do it...... But I'm not human right now. ”

"Want to say your last words? No one will listen, hahahaha! The woman who had almost lost her mind laughed wildly, completely unaware of what Zhang Luo meant.

Then, the woman who was shrouded in flames all over her body suddenly heard the sound of her spatial barrier bursting.

"Anger really reduces combat effectiveness." Zhang Luo said.

Seeing an unfathomable spatial crack beside the black iron man, the woman was suddenly stunned, and then roared like crazy: "Ahhhh ”

Without time to pay attention to the woman who was close to madness, Zhang Luo tried his last strength and rushed into the abnormal portal, everything in front of him suddenly turned into complete darkness, but there was a pale palm, which grabbed from behind him.

"Don't try to escape!"

The brown-haired woman who was driven by the rage also rushed into the door at the last moment when the space-time gate disappeared, and before she could catch the black iron man floating in front of her, the scene in front of her began to flow rapidly like a marquee, and the whole person suddenly lost her sense of space and direction.

The two figures floating in the endless void only stayed in the space similar to a wormhole for a moment, and the scene in front of them suddenly froze.

Bang!

Three figures fell from the empty mid-air and fell into the lush forest.

Zhang Luo, who was hanging on the branch, looked left and right, and immediately found that the trees here were close to standard cylindrical shapes, even if he had never seen them at all, and they were obviously extinct species.

The air around him was unusually fresh, there was no sign of pollution at all, and in the depths of a dense green forest, there were faint animal cries that had never been heard before.

Now, though, that's not the point:

"My body is back?" Zhang Luo let out a surprised sound.

Looking down at the thin body that was stuck on the branch, Zhang Luo realized that the black iron body he had cast earlier had disappeared, and in its place was his original body. In this way, in the process of transfer just now, his own "timeline" should have undergone some changes, and ......

"I'll ......"

Seeing the appearance of the girl who fell into the mud below, Zhang Luo found that Frankenstein's changes were obviously much greater than his own.

--The original robot made of artificial muscles and bones has long since disappeared, and the girl lying face down in the mud has a grayish-black skin, but it is true that she is human flesh and blood.

In other words, Frankenstein, who was originally a robot, has disappeared, and now it is Victor, a scientist before he modified his body. Frankenstein himself!

“……”

As if feeling the great changes that had taken place in her body, the girl lying on the ground slowly got up, her usual cold expression disappeared, and her distorted face revealed undisguised shock.

She opened her mouth, spat out the mud in her mouth, then reached out and pinched the skin on her waist, and whispered slowly in an unbelievable tone:

"I ...... Coming back? ”

"Well, it looks like so." Zhang Luo said and broke the branch that was stuck under his body, landed beside Frankenstein, looked at the girl's same **** body, and said with a smile: "You were in good shape when you were a child." ”

Hearing his words, Frankenstein realized that he was not wearing clothes. However, she has lost the feeling of "shyness" for a long time, and even if she recovers her human body, she does not look embarrassed.

"Whatever."

Frankenstein, covered in mud and looking like he had a large tattoo, walked quickly to the dense forest ahead and asked, "What age is this?" ”

"200 million years ago, the earth is still the world of dinosaurs." Zhang Luo smiled, grabbed a very tough big leaf next to him, wrapped it around his waist, and made a simple apron.

Seeing his behavior, Frankenstein also concocted the same method, and two "primitive people" wearing blades of grass soon appeared in this dense forest where human beings had not yet been born.

In this era, the appearance of the earth was very different from that of later generations. There is only one continent on this planet, and there is only one ocean around this continent, and the continents and oceanic plates of later generations do not even have a shadow at all now.

At this time, let alone human beings, most of the species in later generations have not actually appeared, but there are still a few "human visitors" on this planet:

Frankenstein looked around and asked, "Where's Lucas?" ”

"Do you mean the male him or the female her?" Zhang Luo raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, it's a woman...... That man is here too? Frankenstein paused, and then reacted immediately.

"Well, that man should be on this continent, and from my deputy, he should have landed around here in the first place." Zhang Luo nodded.

――In the process of time travel just now, he has already discovered that when traveling through time and space, there are only a few "landing points" that can be selected.

This is also the reason why the male Lucas happened to meet his feminine self in a small European town - the possibility of shuttling to the same "landing point" is much greater than Zhang Luo originally imagined.

In this era, there are several "landing points" that can be selected are at sea, and one is on the edge of a volcano, and only three of them are in the forest, which is more suitable for human survival.

And what Zhang Luo chose this time was the one he felt was the most likely landing point!

Although the masculine Lucas may have fallen to another landing point when he was forced to shuttle by himself, Zhang Luo still felt that that guy was the most likely to appear at this landing point.

――If he really appeared in the vicinity, then it would be possible for Lucas, a woman who was also teleported, to see the male "self". And then......

"I think that guy should know very well that it's actually very easy to end this paradox." Zhang Luo whispered.

For Lucas, who is begging for death, he must have studied countless ways to die, and the most effective one is-

"Is that you? My dear. ”

The brown-haired woman's voice came from not far ahead, Zhang Luo and Frankenstein glanced at each other and walked over quickly.

Walking through the narrow gap in the forest, you will see a clearing covered with fallen leaves, and a simple hammock made of vines between the two trees, which obviously cannot have been formed naturally.

A brown-haired man with a face smeared with dried mud and a rudimentary garment made of leaves, narrowed his gray eyes under his long messy hair, staring at the brown-haired woman standing in front of him in surprise.

"Is that you? Dear ......" The woman with long brown hair asked again, the black flame on her body had long since been extinguished.

"No...... Am I your child? No, it's the husband...... ...... the end" Lucas, who lives as a man, is obviously a little confused, rubbing his hair irritably, frowning and thinking about something.

While Lucas was still thinking, the brown-haired woman had already pounced on him, hugged his body tightly, buried her face in "herself" strong chest, and sobbed:

"Thank God, whatever you are, I finally found you......"

-- The man in front of him is both his husband and his child. Although it sounds a little confusing, the brown-haired woman knows very well that after a long time, she has finally met her only "relative" again!

"Finally...... Found you......"

At this time, the crazy woman who had been carried away by hatred and drove the planet to take revenge on the whole world finally returned to her normal appearance, lying on Lucas's chest and crying silently, repeating a few sentences.

Zhang Luo and Frankenstein, who were hiding next to them, did not immediately go up to destroy the reunion scene, but quietly poked their heads out from behind the tree and continued to watch the reunion of the "two people" after a long absence.

-- This is probably the most incredible reunion in the world.

A man and a woman who were the same person, hugged each other tightly like long-lost lovers, looked down at the woman crying in his arms, Lucas, who was unkempt and looked like a primitive person, clumsily reached out and touched the long hair of his "wife", and comforted: "Well, don't cry......"

Although it was not obvious, an inexplicable chill flashed in his eyes. The brown-haired woman who was still lying in his arms naturally didn't see this scene, but just cried and said, "We will never be separated again......"

"Well, never again."

Lucas repeated, then suddenly pulled out the bone dagger that hung from his waist and was sharpened from animal teeth, and pierced the back of the woman in his arms.

Click!

The brown-haired woman, whose spine had been pierced through her spine, widened her eyes in surprise, but only slightly surprised, and then laughed softly:

"Never ...... No...... Separated ......"

As Lucas's last form in the timeline, this woman naturally has all the memories of her "young" time, and she should have known that her young self would kill her current self.

But...... For oneself who has lived in pain, confusion and hatred for countless years, death is undoubtedly the best relief!

As a paradoxical being that can never be killed, Lucas has tried countless ways to die, all of which have failed, and the only hope he has left is the last method on the timeline:

"Only you can kill yourself."

If you want to end your own life, you can only end this endless cycle with your own hands. Now, it's time to put an end to it!

"I did it......"

Lucas pulled out the dagger on the woman's back and threw it aside, blood spurted out from the shocking wound on her back, and the man who had just cut off "his own" life laughed, and then suddenly hugged the weak body in his arms.

"I did it, see? I did it...... I killed myself, I killed my wife...... Kill her......"

In the middle of the blood-soaked glade, he killed the man he loved with his own hands, fell to his knees weakly, hugged his wife's body that began to lose his body temperature, and cried like a child.

“……”

Seeing this scene, Frankenstein quietly clenched his fists, and when he was about to walk over, he was grabbed by Zhang Luo's arm:

"I think he needs to be quiet." Zhang Luo whispered.

After witnessing Lucas's "finish", even he was a little depressed. However, he knew that for the contradictory existence that kept circulating on the timeline, such an end was sad, but it was inevitable.

-- The "man" who could never die finally ended his life with his own hands.

And this moment is the end of Lucas's non-stop cycle of "Mobius Ring". (To be continued.) )
