Without the Electric King's train, anyone who enters the Desert of Time is doomed; it's just a matter of dying sooner or later.
"Fortunately, the conspiracy was thwarted, but the person behind it..."
Philip was having a headache; he couldn't figure out who was doing all this.
"Do you intend to kill the knights one by one?"
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Philip’s spine.
"No wonder it's described as a global threat..."
If the knights are gone, and monsters come out in droves, humanity will soon be defeated.
"In that case, the first to suffer the consequences will likely be just a few people."
Philip quickly consulted the Earth Library and soon found information on several knights.
"Den-O and Kabuto are the two seniors who are most likely to encounter enemies."
Philip muttered to himself, then looked up at Momotaros hanging on Yuuki.
"So Den-O is in trouble."
So how can they resolve this crisis?
Philip was even more troubled. He didn't know who the enemy was, how strong the enemy was, or how many soldiers they had left.
With no resources or expertise, there's practically no chance of winning.
"Don't overthink it. At least from the future, we still won."
Shotaro Sato sensed something in Philip's mind and said softly.
"If we lose, how could Yuuki possibly have traveled back from the future?"
Therefore, Shotaro Satoshi is certain that they have won.
"It was probably a Pyrrhic victory, otherwise the future wouldn't be so bad that he would need to go back to the past."
Philip wants to change the future landscape; they must do more.
"Don't worry, his arrival here means there's a new turning point in the future. With Den-O gone and the timeline disrupted, it's hard to say who will win or lose under these circumstances."
After Shotaro finished speaking, he bent down, and the sun high in the sky behind him shone brightly, casting long shadows of the two of them on the ground.
Chapter 160 The Turning Point Magician
Just after noon, Yuuki and the others returned to the agency, which became even more crowded after the arrival of the newcomers.
"It's so hot!"
Looking at the small air conditioner above his head, Momotaros shouted, sounding somewhat agitated.
"Be patient, this is the only option our firm can offer right now. Once I've earned 1000 million, I'll change the location immediately."
Shotaro spoke with great confidence. Momotaros gave him a sullen look, then reached out his hand to Yuuki.
"I'm going to buy popsicles."
Yuuki spread his hands: "I have no money. All my money is with the World Tree Foundation."
This left Momotaros with no choice but to look to Philip and his group. With Philip's strong support, Momotaros finally escaped from this small space.
With one less large person, the office environment was much better. The three of them found seats and slumped into their chairs.
"We're at a loss. What should we do next? How about we go to Tokyo?"
Shotaro scratched his head in frustration and asked the two of them a question.
Yuuki thought it was a good idea, since he wanted to meet Ichijo Kaoru of this era and see what he was up to.
only……
Yu Xing tapped on the armrest and remained silent for a while.
Time travel always comes at a price. The longer one stays in the past, the greater the impact on the future, and the faster one's memories will fade.
Now, Yuuki's forgotten memories are nearing the most important turning point in his life: the day he becomes an alien.
If he goes to Tokyo again, he will likely forget all his previous memories, and then he will never be able to go back.
Noticing Yuuki's silence, Philip and Shotaro understood what was going on, and they came over and gently patted Yuuki on the shoulder.
After a long silence, a watch was handed to Youxing. Youxing looked up and saw Philip with a smile on his face: "You should be going back now, right? Take this."
Yu Xing didn't take it, but pushed it back: "You guys need this more than I do right now."
"The future is more important than the past."
Shotaro forcibly shoved the watch into Yuuki's hand and gave him a push.
"We are just people who died in the past, there's no need to drag them down with us."
Shotaro had long since accepted that he was already dead, and that the dead had no right to ask the living for anything.
"If it can help you in the future, that would be wonderful."
It wasn't until the moment of parting that the usually carefree Shotaro revealed his gentle side, smiling slightly at Yuuki.
"But if you can survive..."
Yu Xing stood up, a slight ripple appearing on her calm face.
"Actually, I don't think we have a chance of surviving."
Shotaro Sato stated bluntly, "After all, this is a major war that will affect the whole world, so no matter what, I will fight with all my might!"
He clenched his fist.
But Yuuki knew that one person alone could not completely turn the tide of the battle.
How could an unprecedented catastrophe be quelled by one person? That's why Shotaro will fight to the very end, until his death!
This is what he gave it his all.
Yuuki remained silent. He knew that even if he joined in, he couldn't stop this from happening. This was Shotaro's own belief: he would fight for humanity to the very last moment.
"Go back in peace. Don't be sad because of our deaths. You should create a better future."
Looking at the two people with peaceful expressions, Yu Xing felt a sense of reluctance, an emotion he hadn't experienced in a long time.
"I can hold on for a while longer."
Ultimately, he decided to stay a little longer until he had to leave.
Just as Shotaro Sato was about to say something, the door was pushed open.
"Ah, I'm finally back! This popsicle tastes really good."
Slurping away at the popsicle in his hand, Momotaros was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere inside the room, and quickly handed the popsicle to the three people inside.
"Eat quickly, don't you have other things to do after you finish eating?"
Seeing Momotaros's calm and composed demeanor, Yuuki suddenly felt that she had been being a bit too dramatic.
So what if it's a separation? He's experienced countless separations, so one more won't make a difference!
He glanced at Shotaro and Philip, believing that they would eventually meet again.
"Eat, then we can go check it out."
An ice pop didn't give them much of a break. After finishing the ice pop, Shotaro Sato still decided to head to Tokyo.
There's nowhere left to explore in Fuuto, so the only option is to head to Tokyo to seek help from Kaoru Ichijo.
Without further ado, the group quickly drove away from Fengdu, but they encountered another obstacle on the outskirts of Fengdu.
"We can't get out! What's going on?"
Momotaros looked at the identical scenery before him and tapped the metal shell: "It can't be a problem with the car, can it?"
It certainly can't be a problem with the car, so it must be due to environmental factors.
Yuuki had seen this situation before, in the later-era Fuuto, where one could only enter but not leave.
"It's a formation, but it's unclear who exactly cast it."
After passing through the same section of road several times, Philip came to a guess.
"Formation?"
Philip nodded and made a circle with his hands: "It's one of those magic circles, the kind magicians use."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xing instantly understood. He had tried this kind of thing before, but the magic circle diagrams in the book were all fake.
"So how do we break this magic circle?"
Yu Xing was humble and eager to learn, because after he returned, he still had to deal with the formation on their side.
"All we need to do is find the array's core. The core will only be located within Fengdu, but it could be a person or an object."
Philip's description of the area was too broad; finding the core of the formation seemed like an impossible task.
"Wow, there are hundreds of thousands of people and countless items. Even if you search until you die, you might not find them!"
Momotaros clutched his head in anguish, never expecting that after escaping from the Desert of Time, he would be trapped in yet another place.
"Isn't it easy to find the core of the formation with me here?"
Philip patted his chest; he could enter the Earth Library and browse through the records of a Wind City in no time.
As Philip entered the Earth Library, the people outside quickly dispersed, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
Since someone has set up this magic circle, the person hiding behind it will surely appear when they try to destroy it.
That will be the time for them to find out the truth.
In just half a minute, Philip successfully retrieved the relevant information from the Earth Library, and he waved to the dispersing group.
Seeing Philip's movements, Yu Xing dashed to Philip's side in an instant, carrying him high into the sky.
Philip was caught off guard, but the explosion that came from the spot a second later made him stop what he was about to say.
The explosion came from underground, piercing straight to the surface and shattering the spot where Philip had been standing. Looking down, Philip saw a crater several meters deep that had been blasted into his original location, with wisps of smoke rising from it.
The exaggerated power made Philip gasp. If Yu Xing hadn't acted quickly, he would have been torn to shreds by now.
