It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 323 You, the elf, really makes me happy
Although they were somewhat wary of each other.

After all, none of us are law-abiding people, so it is impossible for us to let down our guard easily.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi still reached a fragile... ahem, unbreakable alliance with the visitors from another world.

Although I won’t risk my life for my allies—

For example, if you rush forward while shouting about friendship and bond...

However, it is still possible to help each other at critical moments and lend a hand.

So after helping the allies escape from the wasteland, move to a safe area, and get rid of all tracking and monitoring, Tokisaki Kurumi also very considerately picked out a temporary shelter for them.

Not to mention absolute safety...

But at least in the short term, it should be enough to temporarily get rid of those troubles that are chasing like hyenas.

After all, this troublesome elf code-named "Nightmare" has rich experience in anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking, so it is reasonable and not surprising that he can do this.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Well, for an extremely powerful individual among the elves, the retreat plan he has prepared is naturally far more than just three caves.

………………

"Well, it sounds like you are quite experienced..."

Miss Ciri sighed softly, her eyes involuntarily falling on the beautiful girl in front of her.

The calmness and confidence revealed in her words and actions made people believe that she was indeed experienced in this area.

"But even so, we've come all the way back here... isn't that a bit risky?"

Miss Ciri changed the subject and looked around.

Dark, damp, and deep.

There is no doubt that this is the same environment as before, in an underground space formed by the cracking of an underground fissure.

This situation gave Miss Ciri a headache.

"How could that be? You have to know that the most dangerous place is the safest place..."

Tokisaki Kurumi had a playful smile on her lips, her waterfall-like bangs covering the left half of her stunningly beautiful face, leaving her burgundy right eye on the other side seemingly sparkling.

"In order to get rid of those tails, you left behind some traces. Those traces clearly point to the fact that you have escaped from this area..."

"This will be enough to make them focus all their attention on it. Most people will just follow these clues and keep investigating..."

"Even if someone else realizes that you have made a surprise attack, there is no way to easily prove it. At least they cannot allocate too much power to pursue directions that have no clues..."

At this point, Tokisaki Kurumi spread her hands, her posture relaxed and free and easy——

"You say, isn't this the truth?"

"..."

"..."

"Okay, you convinced me."

Ciri took a deep breath and waved her hand to indicate that this was indeed very convincing.

This place is not the same place as before, not in the depths of the disaster area wasteland, but at the edge of the disaster area, where the outline of the palm print meets the surrounding land -

The huge impact force caused a local earthquake...

It also caused countless cracks to be torn into the relatively intact land around it...

There are large and small ones, the small ones may be only a few hundred meters, and the large ones can stretch for several miles, dozens of miles, or even tens of kilometers.

This creates a very complex underground space system.

There are a large number of cracks, which are intricate and irregular. Moreover, many of them are not stable enough and are in danger of secondary collapse at any time.

It seemed like the crack where she was now had already collapsed.

So, this is very difficult to check, and combined with the theory that the most dangerous place is the safest, it may really be a good choice.

As long as we have adequate defenses, we can completely block the leakage of magic power and aura...

It should be enough to last until Geralt can rest for a while and recover his health to a certain extent...

She thought so silently.

"In that case, then we can be considered to have... a pleasant cooperation?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked with her hands behind her back, slightly bent down, and smiled.

"…a pleasure to work with."

Miss Ciri took a deep breath and looked at her with complicated eyes.

"At least you did fulfill the agreement between us. I am still clear about that."

"So--" Tokisaki Kurumi asked with a smile.

"..."

"..."

"So, it's yours."

Miss Ciri took a deep breath, then raised the broken sword in her hand and opened the independent space inside using the method Geralt taught her.

She took out a golden round object from it, looked at it carefully, and then threw it to the beautiful girl opposite her.

"...!!"

Tokisaki Kurumi seemed relaxed on the surface, but in fact she tensed her body and raised her hand to take the power core that was thrown to her.

Nothing unexpected happened.

She caught the power core steadily and found that it was lighter than she had expected. It was so light that it seemed to have no weight at all.

If it weren't for the cold and dense alloy texture, she would even doubt whether she had caught a ball of air.

This is very inconsistent.

Relaxing a little, Tokisaki Kurumi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked carefully at the power core in her hand.

It was about the size of a fist, spherical in shape, covered with gilded armor, with strange rings and pipe joints, and a circular "hole" in the center...

A brilliant light shines through...

As dazzling as the sun at dawn...

Very good, at least it was confirmed to be genuine, there was no problem with that. ——Through direct physical contact and feeling the amazing energy intensity, the elf confirmed the most critical issue.

"I don't know how you are going to use the power in it, but it's best not to mess around..."

Miss Ciri still gave some good advice: "Once its power explodes directly, it will be a disaster."

"Oh, this world...isn't there enough disasters?"

Tokisaki Kurumi smiled disapprovingly and said this with a hint of meaning.

"But thanks anyway. Then - I'm leaving now. I wish you good luck."

She held the power core in her hand, bowed slightly to say goodbye like an elegant lady, smiled, and the shadows under her feet began to surge.

"Wait, have you ever thought that we could continue to cooperate..."

Ciri subconsciously reached out and wanted to call the other person.

Although the temporary alliance formed by everyone is for their own benefit, now is the time for her to unite all the forces that can be united.

And this elf is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Her power is very strong, and her abilities are also very powerful... Even if she can't be a staunch ally, and can't fight for her side, she is undoubtedly a powerful help.

For example, providing support in terms of intelligence, or helping others remove the nails...

Just as we did when we formed the alliance before.

"No, I've already got what I need..." Tokisaki Kurumi shook her head and gave the answer without even thinking.

She pursed her lips, then revealed an unusually bright smile: "Now, I am going to do my thing... and whether I succeed or fail, you will probably never see me again, so there is no point in saying this."

"you--?"

Miss Ciri was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

However, the elf girl opposite did not say anything else, but bowed slightly, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"..."

"..."

It got quiet.

Ciri frowned, then smiled bitterly.

Is this a determination to die? Or is there some obsession that has to be done? But it is obvious that no matter what the answer is, it is impossible to continue to form a team.

She stood there and sighed, then glanced deeper, hesitated for a moment, and began to busy herself around.

——Geralt is meditating to heal his wounds.

——You must also take defensive measures as soon as possible.

Although the outside world was changing too fast for her to understand, the movements outside the sky made her wonder whether the end of the world was approaching.

But anyway...

It is still too early to give up the game at this time.

She believes it is necessary to continue to persevere, perhaps hope will still appear.

………………

………………

After leaving the hidden temporary shelter, Tokisaki Kurumi took out the power core that she had finally obtained without any delay and examined it carefully.

Xiaoguang Furnace Heart.

A power reactor made using technology based on the immortal way.

My feeling was indeed correct...

A complete furnace core contains enormous energy. If converted, it is more than the total spiritual power of several elves.

This is enough.

I have always been troubled by how to accumulate such a huge amount of spiritual power, and finally today my wish came true.

In order to avoid any further complications, Tokisaki Kurumi directly began to try to absorb the spiritual power.

It wasn't smooth, but it wasn't that troublesome either.

Perhaps this kind of immortal power furnace was designed with the feasibility of being able to be directly absorbed by cultivators for their own use.

Therefore, the internal flow of spiritual power can be guided out normally and transformed into a huge energy torrent.

As time passes little by little.

This elf also absorbs this spiritual power bit by bit.

Above the sky, there was still a vast and mighty pure light spreading, the light rising violently like rain, occasionally there was a burning sea of clouds, or an abyss hanging upside down in the sky.

The huge ring-shaped structure rotates slowly, releasing a powerful force field that distorts light and blocks space.

The mountains erupted and the winds howled.

Although she didn't know exactly what was happening, she understood that some force that was powerful enough to affect the huge planet beneath her feet was gradually infiltrating reality.

"That's great. This way I have one more reason to go back to the past..."

Finally completing the more troublesome charging part, Tokisaki Kurumi raised her head and looked at the scene, sighing and muttering softly.

Then, she slowly raised the ancient pistol in her hand and put the muzzle against her temple.

She wants to go back in time and change something.

However, the spiritual power consumed increases exponentially with the increase of the backtracking time, and the stay time will also increase the consumption of spiritual power.

The price of going back thirty years is the spiritual power of an elf...

But just going back to the past is not enough, she also needs enough power to complete the change of the world line.

Pull the trigger!

Bullets fired!

——Yud Bet! Launch!

In an instant, the process of going back in time had begun. She gambled on a shot of enlightenment, sent herself to the past, and embarked on the road to thirty years ago!
Thirty years ago...Thirty years ago...

Wait! What's going on?
Realizing that an incomprehensible phenomenon had occurred, the beautiful girl widened her eyes in astonishment.

In her special state at this moment, she can see the phenomena in the fourth dimension very clearly.

——Fault!
——A huge time gap!

It is like the wall of origin at the end of the universe, abruptly spanning the absolute timeline and abruptly cutting off the past and the future.

Before that huge gap in time and space, everything disappeared.

In other words, historical information before that time can no longer be observed.

She was also horrified to find that the limit of her time travel was only at that fault point, and she could no longer return to the past before that!

The existence of the fault was like a cold iron curtain, locking her vision and consciousness firmly within this insurmountable boundary.

As cold as fate!

And at the same time,

"what?"

A strange sound was heard, spreading like ripples on the strings of time, filling all the perceptions of the time elf at that moment.

She looked up blankly, her heart trembling, as if she felt some kind of sensory sympathy.

The moment she realized that she was being watched by an unknown being, the outline of that being, like a phantom, shone directly into her mind without the need for any medium.

Information, jumbled information, countless incomprehensible images—

It was like the curve, the horizon, and the consciousness all disintegrated during thinking, and then reassembled again.

Then, at the end of time and space, it collapsed into a point.

She saw a young Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a mottled platform, surrounded by a light that seemed to illuminate the entire heavens. The light spread out, filling everything in sight and form.

Mighty, majestic, and grand!

It seems to be able to dominate everything and control the flow of time and space.

And that Daotai...

It is the huge space-time fault that cuts off the past and the future and spans across history!

It is like an invisible boundary that divides history into two completely different parts.

The girl was so shocked that she could hardly speak. She just stared blankly with her beautiful eyes wide open, no longer able to comprehend what she had sensed.

"I see……"

The young Taoist also looked at her with interest, then seemed to understand something and laughed, while gently extending his hand -

"You are such a delight to me, my spirit."
