Chapter 52: Existence Outside the Rules...... X2
Looking back now, when was the first time you saw Sixteen Nightsakiya's abilities? It seems that the Red Devil Pavilion was just moved into Gensokyo, right?
Yakumo Murasaki, who can manipulate the power of the realm, has "all" abilities in a sense, and she can imitate them through the power of the realm, and even directly analyze the origin of the power, but there is only one ability that she has never been exposed to.
Time.
One of the two superior abilities of the same level as space, the ability to manipulate time is not only mysterious, sometimes it is simply not understood.
Yakumo Murasaki knows that there are only two abilities that act on time today.
One is Sakiya's ability, and the other is Kaguya's ability.
However, compared to Sakiya, Kaguya's ability is not so much about time as it is on matter itself, and the "ability of time and eternity" is more like manipulating concepts than manipulating time.
Kaguya's ability allows an apple to be kept in oxygen for 10,000 years and still be that apple, while Sakiya can only make that apple be sliced flat in an instant.
But the problem is that if the apple that is imposed by Kaguya's concept of "eternity" wants to eat it as an existence of the level of Yakumo Murasaki, then the result waiting for it will inevitably be to turn into an apple core.
However, if Sakiya is in charge of slicing, the only possible outcome is that the apple has been fed into Remilia's mouth by Sakumo before Yakumo can do it, because she is the only one who can move freely during the time she stops.
In the end, let alone Yakumo Purple, or even Yayi Yongrin, I'm afraid that even Sixteen Night Sakuya himself can't explain how to manipulate time.
Yakumo Zi has derived a means of spatial movement such as "gap" by manipulating the realm ability, which is very magical but unscientific in the eyes of mortals, but in fact, her gap displacement and magic teleportation are completely two concepts.
For example, Pache uses teleportation magic to identify two points on a piece of paper, then connect them to the city, and then build a "channel" on top of the "line" where they can reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Therefore, if the establishment of the "channel" is affected, the destination of the teleportation will be shifted, but the gap displacement of Yakumo Murasaki will not.
Because she doesn't move in a "line" between the two dots, she folds the whole sheet so that the two dots are directly connected, so there is never a gap between her.
This is the principle of manipulating space, but what about time?
A king can order his subjects to be silent for a minute, and then he announces that he has suspended time for a minute, but what about the facts?
The sun would still rise the next day, and the king would take away the time of his subjects, but the time of the world would still walk as scheduled.
In other words, what does Sakiya's ability to pause time mean to the world at large?
The other Yakumo Murasaki hadn't investigated, but one thing she was sure of was that when Sakiya activated her ability, the entire Gensokyo's time stopped.
In other words, the base area covered by Sakiya's ability is at least the entire Gensokyo, and so on, I'm afraid that the time of all the spaces connected to Gensokyo will be stopped.
Then the most basic question arises, how did she do it? Or rather, what is the price she has to pay for doing so?
Taking Yakumo Purple herself as an example, she can make a rock suddenly become a thousand times heavier, which can be easily done by manipulating the "realm of light and heavy", and the price is nothing more than some demonic power.
But what if she weighed the entire Gensokyo a thousand times more? I'm afraid that it will be enough for her to die because of overdrawing her demonic power.
But what about Sakiya? She stopped the entire Gensokyo time, was there a consumption? Yes, but it was very small, and it could even be said that it was no more laborious than throwing a few daggers at her.
Equivalent exchange is the cornerstone of the existence of this world, and the price Sakiya paid and what she got are not on the same order of magnitude at all, which in itself is an unexplainable problem.
Sakiya's abilities never act on an independent being, and once time stops, the whole world is slowed down.
The most puzzling thing is that the time of the stop is not the creation of any independent space, but the direct effect of the original world.
For example, for example, Remilia uses her spear Gungnir to unleash a powerful attack, which takes about five seconds from the time she is ready to throw the gun, but if you use Sakuya's support, that five seconds will become "zero".
"Zero" is different from "Xu", which means "extremely short time", and if you have to measure it, it is about 1 in 1000 trillion, but "zero" means that it does not exist.
Infinity approaching zero and zero itself are two completely different levels of concepts.
Yakumo Purple can manipulate the realm of speed and speed to speed up, but no matter how fast it is, it will not be zero.
However, Sakiya used her ability to directly erase the time that should have existed, so that the original five seconds became zero, and the result was transitioned to the real world, but there was no change.
In this regard, Yakumo Purple couldn't find a suitable explanation in the limited theory, so she could only think like this-
It's not so much that the existing rules aren't enough to support their ability to explain this manipulation of time, but that Sixteen Rooms Sakiya itself is not bound by the rules.
Tamasho can only move one square, because the rules of shogi restrict how it moves, and only in one case can it move in other ways, and that is cheating.
In other words, to ignore the rules, or to go one step further and change the rules.
Move a chair and let a person stand on it, then move the chair out of the way, and the person will fall to the ground, but if it's a youkai standing up, then she won't fall to the ground.
Why can't ordinary humans hover in the air on their own alone? Because there is a gravitational force.
Does that mean youkai ignore gravity? No, the youkai just used other forces to counteract the influence of gravity, and the youkai that lost their magic power will still be affected by gravity and return to the earth.
So is there a way to keep a youkai, or a human, in the air without relying on any strength? The answer is yes, just cheating.
The condition for a person to remain in the air without the help of any external force is to change the rule acting on him from "gravitation exists" to "gravitational force does not exist".
If you explain it this way, Sakiya's ability makes sense, and there is only one sentence to sum it up, that is, "Sixteen Nights Sakiya is outside the rules".
In other words, Sixteen Nights Sakuya's abilities are subject to another, higher-level rule, but it is completely out of the worldview that Yakumo Purple and the others are now able to accept.
Yayi Yonglin let Yakumo Zi re-understand how many unknown mysteries there are in this maid of the Red Devil Pavilion, but unfortunately, she woke up others, but she didn't wake up herself.
That's right, today's words from Yayi Yonglin made Yakumo Zi pay more attention to this human maid, but it was Takeya who paid more attention to her than Sakuya!
If Sakiya's ability to stand still is a cheating method that is not subject to the existing rules, then how should Takeya, who is not subject to Sakiya's ability, be defined?
Looking at the gap, the success of making Yasaka Kanako put away the martial arts of the technique, Yakumo Zi's heart gave birth to a strange feeling for no reason.
After talking to Shiki Yingji and Yayi Yonglin one after another, Yakumo Zi suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know anything about this "Wuya" that she had seen since she was a child.
Looking at the figure of Wu Ye in a white robe, Yakumo Zi subconsciously said, "If it is stronger, it will be almost the same." ”
"Huh? What are you talking about? Bayi Yonglin looked at her strangely.
"No, let's talk about it, if Wu Ye's strength is stronger, it will be similar to the real dragon god......"
Yakumo Zi tilted her head and suddenly sneered, at this moment, even she didn't know why she suddenly said such strange words......
