With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Chapter 634: Kurumi in Action

"Why doesn't Mio just kill her own sister and eliminate this uncertainty completely? Why does she have to create a seal and cause us all this trouble?"

A world constructed of two colors, where loneliness is the only keynote, and a figure suddenly appears in this world.

She was a girl with heterochromatic eyes and twin ponytails, wearing a black and red gothic dress with lace, exuding both purity and allure, like a combination of angel and devil.

Its right eye is a deep red like a jewel, while its left eye contains a precise golden clock, giving it a mechanical look that seems almost real.

With her right hand gently stroking the strands of hair that obscured her vision, Kurumi softly asked the desolate world.

'Perhaps Mio deeply loves her older sister, and even though she might pose a threat, she doesn't want to hurt her.'

The voice rang in her ears, and Kurumi raised an eyebrow slightly. The voice that appeared in her mind carried a strange sense of excitement.

It's easy to guess that Erya, who is connected to her and can talk to her anytime, is thinking about something bad.

Given Erya's status as a renowned writer, she probably completed the plan in her mind in an instant, imagining a love-hate relationship between the sisters...

'Erya, be quiet and don't cause trouble.'

This time, the voice belonged to Mayuri, the Mayuri who remained in that strange world, serving as the core force to guard against Mio.

Their plan was not going well. If Mio really did what Nia said, they would definitely be skinned alive.

Even she felt that this approach was somewhat wrong, but if they didn't do it, that illusory world would eventually swallow them all into an abyss.

However, to be fair, why bring her in? Although it was a unanimous vote, it was really going too far.

Saying that she was the most charming of the four and that having her negotiate might be the most effective... those are all excuses.

To ensure the success of this operation, although she came alone, she still had three teammates who could be considered as a support team.

Using the abilities of her angel, Zafkiel, she achieved interdimensional communication, a feat that only she could accomplish.

Zafkiel's true form is a giant golden clock with twelve Roman numerals, each corresponding to one of twelve different abilities.

Alef accelerates time for the target it hits... a common tactic she uses in combat, with an effect close to teleportation.

The second bullet (Bet) slows down time for the hit target... The effect is decent, but because there's a more powerful bullet in comparison, it's rarely used.

The third bullet (Gimel) advances time for the target it hits... It can achieve the effect of physical growth, but it has no effect on spirits.

The fourth bullet (Dalet) causes time to rewind for the target it hits... It is often used to heal wounds, since it can return the target to the state before the injury.

The fifth bullet (he) allows the target to see a certain future... Because of Nia's existence, this skill is almost useless to Kurumi.

The sixth bullet (Vav) allows consciousness to return to a body in a past time period... It can be used to briefly travel through time and space, altering the recent past.

Zayin, the seventh bullet, stops time for the target it hits... It is often used in battle and its effect is extremely terrifying; even spirit armor cannot ignore it.

The Eighth Bullet (Het) creates clones, cutting through the past self on the timeline... The main combat skill in battle, a human wave tactic, the clones cannot use [Zflüder].

The ninth bullet (Tet) connects the consciousness of objects on different timelines... Due to the slightly different time flow rates in the neighboring world and the present world, it was successfully used opportunistically.

Yod (Ten Bullet) conveys past memories of the target or the holder of the hit object... It's a non-combat ability, but its effects are amazing when used flexibly.

The Eleventh Bullet (Yod·Alef) sends the hit target to the future... The effect is bugged; the further away the future point is from the present, the longer the stay and the greater the cost.

The Twelfth Bullet (Yod·Bet) sends the target back to the past... It's a bugged ability, and the cost is the same as the previous one.

……

With these twelve time-related abilities, Kurumi's combat power varies greatly, making her a spirit that is both powerful and weak.

Without large-scale AOE capabilities, her spirit armor is only the most vulnerable level, but its unpredictable nature makes her very difficult to deal with.

After all, it's a time-based system, and space and time have always been the two most troublesome aspects. Anyone who masters either one can easily crush their peers.

"I see the target, oh my god...it's so beautiful."

After seeing the sealed figure from a distance, Kurumi froze on the spot and subconsciously uttered a statement that left the three people outside dumbfounded.

With her deep purple hair, flawless face, slender figure, and perfect proportions, Kurumi subconsciously compared her appearance and physique.

Fortunately, she herself is a rare beauty, so she didn't feel inferior at all. Instead, she looked at her with great interest.

A beautiful girl like Sleeping Beauty, a powerful being sealed in the neighboring world by the Primal Spirit, who looks quite frail when asleep.

In Mayuri's memory space, she had observed this person's existence up close and had developed a great interest in them.

Admiring the perfect girl, Kurumi examined the cage woven from white silk threads in front of her. Although it seemed to be opening up on its own, the speed at which it was opening was really not impressive.

It's not about waiting until the end of time, but it does evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of a major problem in Journey to the West, like a dog licking its face, a chicken pecking at rice, and a lock burning on fire.

At this rate of slow unraveling, it would take at least 30 years, by which time the daylilies would be completely cold.

Kurumi crossed her arms, raised one hand to stroke her chin, pondering how to release this person and then carry out her plan.

In that past concerning Mio, she witnessed Mio sealing away this person's memories, which was a huge guarantee that they dared to carry out their plan.

"Everyone, here are cages made of threads created from immense spiritual power. What do you suggest I do?"

'Tear those threads apart with your hands?'

'Should we just shoot him awake?'

'...'

All sorts of outrageous ideas echoed in her mind. Kurumi's forehead veins throbbed as her face darkened. What kind of bizarre actions were these?

The first one completely overestimated her. She didn't think that with her weak and helpless appearance, tearing it with her hands would be much faster than it collapsing naturally.

Not to mention, given the toughness of this thread, her fingers would likely be severed first; the difference in strength is completely different.

As for the second suggestion from Mayuri...

Perhaps it can awaken the Sleeping Beauty inside, but the next moment she might be attacked and transformed into a giant dragon, unleashing a beam of light upon her.

The unknown beam of light that clashed with the Eurasian Great Skyquake that day still sends chills down Kurumi's spine. Given the strength of her Spirit Dress, she might not even have the chance to use the 'Fourth Bullet'.

"...We have no choice but to give it a try."

PS: 1. This is the second update today.

2. Online English classes are so stupid. They even require you to record yourself reading super difficult sentences and then send them to the teacher.

There were fifteen sentences in total, and my voice is almost hoarse...

Chapter 635, Section 597: What We Saw, the Beginning of Everything

Chapter 635: What We See Is the Beginning of Everything

"Are you really ready to become a 'partner of justice'?"

Looking at the orange-haired girl in front of her, Mio felt a strange sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including sadness and regret). These days, young girls are really easy to fool.

While her powers are indeed a bit magical, is it really okay to trust her so much?

She also felt that the title of "partner of justice" was rather silly, but she kept using it because it was indeed effective.

She felt that the only people who could come up with such a name, besides a chuunibyou girl like Tokisaki Kurumi, were probably those incredibly carefree idiots.

However, the idea of ​​this virtual world was indeed a very practical one. Having completely taken control of this world, she easily found a girl named Yamai.

However, perhaps it's because the time isn't right yet, and other suitable Pokémon haven't appeared yet, so we shouldn't rush things.

Faced with an unpredictable future, Yamai took a deep breath, smiled fearlessly, and nodded deeply to Mio. Of course, it would be good to gain the power to protect the world.

This is not only an opportunity and a source of strength, but also a new responsibility. She is also very interested in the spirit community to which Mio belongs.

Looking at Yamai, who was all smiles and seemed very happy, Mio suppressed her emotions and took the orange crystal off the branch of the [Reincarnation Paradise].

The girl who obtained the spirit crystal was swept up by the light, and all her clothes disappeared, transforming into a straitjacket that was extremely embarrassing.

"This is... an elf?"

Yamai looked at her clothes and felt the flow of the wind in nature, then closed her eyes contentedly.

Having just gained power, Yamai, ready to try it out, looked at Mio, wanting her to teach her, and then froze on the spot.

Her astonishment was not without reason. In her sight, Mio suddenly stopped smiling, her expression turned gloomy, and then fear appeared.

Before Yamai could say anything, Mio looked at her without saying a word and decisively made her move.

The immense spiritual power carved out a domain, and the wind within that range became completely uncontrollable. With a single punch, Mio successfully knocked Yamai to the ground.

Without even bothering to check on Yamai, he threw her directly into Mio's neighboring world and hurriedly returned to the illusory world he had created. A big problem had arisen.

—Excessive sexual activity leads to disaster; castration is the permanent cure.—

With twelve different abilities, Kurumi began to think about how to awaken the sleeping hope, but firing a gun directly would cause serious problems.

Ordinary spirit energy bullets don't have many fancy features; they're just bullets, only they're more exaggerated than technological products.

If she really hurts the other side, the outcome could be very bad; she can't possibly deal with the giant dragon she saw in the memory space.

The thought of this Sleeping Beauty's true form being such a terrifying thing made Kurumi want to turn around and leave immediately. Whoever wants to do this deadly work can do it...

"Yod!"

The dial trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy gathered at its peak, transforming into a jet-black mist that surged toward the Roman numeral X.

The long-barreled musket was raised, and a dense shadow rolled in from the muzzle, transforming into a bullet—a bullet capable of awakening and probing a person's memories.

Suddenly, Kurumi paused slightly as she pulled the trigger. She had thought of a good idea: she could try to understand the person in front of her.

Nia's search for the name 'Uesugi Reiya' yielded only very ordinary information, with nothing particularly unusual about it.

The biggest problem is that there is no problem. This person is someone who can threaten Mio. Perhaps Nia's angel has been affected once again.

The 'Ten Bullets' is an ability that can bypass Mio's Primal Spirit characteristics to achieve the desired effect, and it might work here as well.

Without hesitation, Kurumi immediately consumed some of her spiritual power, and a shadow once again surged from the clock behind her.

Black spiritual energy flowed into the short-barreled musket. Kurumi raised both guns, one aimed at the Tenth Spirit through the gap in the cage, and the other at her own head.

"Whoo~"

After taking a deep breath, Kurumi pulled the trigger. As the two bullets flew and entered her body, Kurumi's expression changed drastically.

A massive amount of information flooded her head, and the feeling of it expanding rapidly almost burst her brain, only to disappear again like the receding tide.
