Chapter 1717 Opening (Moving in the next few days)

"It's strange."

Walking on the street, Kurokawa Akane looked around in confusion.

“This place seems different from what I imagined.”

"Not the same?"

"Yes, didn't they say that many refugees fled to the capital to seek asylum? So I thought the capital should be crowded and chaotic. But the current situation seems very peaceful and orderly no matter how you look at it..."

Just as Kurokawa Akane said, the two of them were walking on the street and didn't see any signs of chaos or panic. There were a lot of people around, but it didn't feel like they were taking refuge. Kurokawa Akane even said that the tourist season in some cities might be more chaotic than it is now.

Could it be that the people in this world are of particularly high quality that they are so respectful and courteous even when fleeing?

That is of course impossible.

“Indeed, this place doesn’t look like there is a large influx of refugees.”

Princess Nolen looked around and nodded.

"I guess quite a few people have been killed."

"Huh? But everyone is so calm? If so many people really died, it would probably cause panic."

"How can this be?"

In response to Kurokawa Akane's question, Princess Noren rolled her eyes.

"At such times, people are less likely to notice such things. If someone familiar disappeared, of course they would notice it immediately. But refugees come from all over the world and don't know each other. Even if the family next door to you suddenly disappeared yesterday, most people probably wouldn't notice it. To put it more extremely, as long as the operation is done properly, even if refugees in one camp disappear, it won't be a problem at all. We just need to divert them and swallow them up."

"Is this like this?"

“The more unfamiliar the population is, the more likely it is to be ignored.”

Duanmu Huai stared at the streets around him and spoke.

“For example, if the store next to your office suddenly moved away, you wouldn’t care too much.”

"Ah, well, that's true..."

This is how it is in big cities. It is an atomized society. People only care about the people around them. Even if they are residents of an apartment, they may not be familiar with each other. Even if the other person has been missing for several months, as a neighbor, you will not care.

People like Duanmu Huai, Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai who are so good together that they basically live in the same house are the exceptions.

"…………………"

However, not everyone was talking. Freya looked forward with a tense face.

“I felt a sickening smell.”

"Yes, me too."

Duanmu Huai nodded. He understood what Freya was, because Duanmu Huai, like her, felt the rich and nauseating psychic energy of the subspace.

And, it’s right in front of us.

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked forward, where he saw a beautiful girl wearing a hood walking on the street holding a child's hand.

The two of them were talking and laughing, just like a pair of siblings with a very close relationship.

So Duanmu Huai also walked up and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Hey."

Then he raised his fist and punched the girl in the face as she turned around.

"——————"

For Kurokawa Akane, this is probably a scene that she will never forget in her life.

Duanmu Huai, who was walking beside him, suddenly stopped, turned around and patted the shoulder of the girl who passed by him.

Then he punched her in the head.

Kurokawa Akane widened his eyes and watched as the girl's pretty face, which was like an idol, was completely blown away by Duanmu Huai's punch. Her skull was shattered, and her flawless white skin cracked and shattered like a smashed teacup, her teeth flew everywhere, and her tongue on the gums bounced like a fish thrown ashore.

It was clearly just a moment, but Kurokawa Akane felt as if the passage of time had slowed down at this moment.

What should I do?

Kurokawa Akane asked herself, but she knew that Kurokawa Akane had no way to deal with such a situation.

So, what about the Judge?

If I were to act not as myself but as a Judge...!

Although Kurokawa Akane has a certain degree of talent, she is still just an ordinary person after all. If Freya's soul had not merged with hers, Kurokawa Akane would not be able to use magic. So she is not as sensitive as Freya or Duanmu Huai to perceive the psychic energy of the subspace, but this does not prevent Kurokawa Akane from making judgments.

There is only one reason why Duanmu Huai would take action in the street!

Think switch.

Just treat it as a performance on stage. The one taking action is not [Akaon Kurokawa], but the [Judge].

So……………!

Kurokawa Akane raised his hands.

A violent gale suddenly erupted, blowing away all the people around.

The other party is the enemy of the Inquisition and must be eliminated!

For an ordinary person, Duanmu Huai's punch was enough to kill him completely. However, the girl in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Time, go back."

In just a moment, the head that was originally blown up returned to normal as if a movie was rewound. At the same time, the silver-haired girl took off the cloak that covered her, revealing the snow-white wings behind her. With her sacred and beautiful appearance, even if someone said she was an angel, I'm afraid some people would believe it.

But this does not include Duanmu Huai.

Just as the silver-haired girl recovered, Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed her head, then slammed it hard on the ground. Then he raised his fist and punched the girl again! "Bang boom boom!!!"

The girl's beautiful body was smashed to pieces by Duanmu Huai, and her beautiful face was also defeated, broken, and exploded. Then it recovered again in the face of the power of time.

However, for Duanmu Huai...

“That’s better!!”

After the girl regained her original form, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hands, grabbed the heavy fruit on the girl's chest, and tore it apart with force!

"hiss-----!"

Although he had already immersed himself in the role of the Judge, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, and subconsciously covered his chest.

After all, it hurts just looking at it!

Duanmu Huai clenched his hands, and the soft, swollen object burst in his hands like a squeezed and deformed balloon. Then he rushed to the silver-haired girl again and stomped her to the ground!

It hurts so much…it hurts so much…it hurts so much…

Duanmu Huai's attack is very powerful, but not fast. For the silver-haired girl, she can go back in time every time and recover herself.

But that's not the problem.

This is not a fight, but a torture.

Duanmu Huai's fight with the silver-haired girl was not to kill her as quickly as possible, but to torture her again and again, making her feel immense pain and fear. She stared into the other's crazy eyes, and felt an immense tremor. Because what emerged from them was not hatred or anger, but a kind of indifference and mockery, as if she was just a toy, a toy at the mercy of the other, and now, he just wanted to see how long this toy could last!

No, we can't go on like this!

At this moment, the silver-haired girl, the Winged King Altimatia, suddenly recalled what the Thunder Claw Dragon had said to her.

"You are too weak to be a dragon king."

"Hey?"

"From the time you prepare to manipulate time to the time you actually manipulate it, it takes 0.1 to 0.2 seconds. That's too slow. We decide life and death in less than 0.1 seconds."

"Who do you mean by 'we'?"

In response to Ultimeatia's question, the Thunder Claw Dragon let out a rebellious laugh.

"Need I ask? Of course it's a guy as strong and unreasonable as me. If you want to fight such a guy, it's fine as long as I'm by your side. But if I'm not here... then don't hesitate, just play your trump card! You must remember and use your absolutely invincible moves."

At this moment, Altimatia finally made up her mind.

"World, go back."

Kurokawa Akane didn't know what was going on.

She was originally just casting magic to clear the area, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly blurred, and when Kurokawa Akane came to her senses again, she found herself following behind Duanmu Huai, and not far ahead, a girl wrapped in a cloak was holding a boy's hand, staring at this side silently.

Not only that, Kurokawa Akane also noticed something else.

Everything came to a standstill.

Whether it was the people walking on the street or myself, everyone was like a movie that had been paused, and could only stand there, motionless. Although I was still conscious, I couldn't move even a finger.

"That's it."

At the same time, the voice of the silver-haired girl sounded. She walked in front of Duanmu Huai and stared at him.

"This move consumes too much mana, so I usually don't turn the whole world back to the past. The threat you pose is so great that I have to use this move... It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it feels like death is imminent. However, the battle is over."

As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and placed it on Duanmu Huai's chest.

"No, strictly speaking, the battle never took place."

Little love——————!

Heichuan Akane wanted to say something to Duanmu Huai, but she couldn't even make a sound. Not only her, but even Freya and Princess Norn, who were obviously souls, were also imprisoned by time.

"Although you have disobeyed the gods, I will not kill you cruelly. No matter what, you will die in this static world..."

However, Ultimeatia did not finish her words.

At the same time, her movements became slower and slower, until she even stopped.

“What’s going on? My body’s movements are… so slow. No, that’s not right. It’s not that my movements have become slower, but that I can’t move! How is that possible!?”

Just as Altimatia was shocked by this, a voice sounded from behind her.

"It seems that this is the end of your quest, you lowly warp bastard."

"——————!"

Duanmu Huai appeared behind Altimatia at some point, staring at her coldly.

"Do you think you are the only one who can stop time? You don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the power to manipulate time. You are really so high and mighty."

“——————! How is it possible that you actually stopped time?!”

For Altimatia, this was even more shocking than Duanmu Huai's previous powerful killing of her. Before she manipulated time, he had never shown a similar ability. And now, not only did he have this ability, he could even take back control of her?

Just as Ultimatia was panicking and her mind went blank, she heard Duanmu Huai's voice again.

"How does it feel? The feeling of being approached from behind when you are unable to move is like a person who can only hold his breath underwater for one minute. After sinking to the bottom of the water for one minute, he surfaces to breathe... "

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out and pressed the Wing King's shoulder.

“…The feeling of being suddenly pulled back to the bottom of the water!”

“Ah…ah…ah…”

"This feeling is so wonderful, so wonderful that I want to sing a song! It really makes me so high!"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his fingers and inserted them directly into Altimatia's head, grabbing her brain!

"Feel more pain!"

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's roar, he crushed Altimatia's brain with one hand!
