With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

2. Pause updating until you feel like it again (this option will most likely result in the game being abandoned).

3. Slow down updates, meaning reduce the update speed to focus all efforts on the first volume of the new book (it might not be possible to write it right now, because writing two books at once is too energy-consuming. -.-)

4. Skip this volume and treat it as a discarded volume. Just assume that all the spirits have been saved (see Yoshino's case for details)... (This option feels so crappy).

To sum it up, writing this volume is a double torment for the author, both physically and mentally. I want to write well, but the more I write, the more my writing falls apart, and my mental exhaustion far exceeds my physical exhaustion.

Let's all come out and discuss this. There should still be over a hundred people following the progress. We have four options, so please give me some ideas, or even create a fifth option for me.

Love you all! (°?‵?′??)

P.S.: Today's update... I still haven't managed to come up with a single chapter by almost 6 PM. How about I post a chapter from the new book? (New book progress: 14 chapters; estimated first volume will be close to 50 chapters).

_(:з　∠)_

Chapter 648 Background Summary

Given that Volume 11 has fallen apart and there's no way to salvage it, the author, whose hairline is receding rapidly, has no choice but to temporarily abandon that part. Here is a brief synopsis.

Yang Li, with his fifth-tier strength, came to the Date A Live world with two goals: to break through to the sixth tier in one go and to find his own Kurumi.

First, by accident (seriously), she saved the newly born Primal Spirit and successfully turned her into a yuri to complete the conquest. Then, by accident (seriously), she turned Takamiya Shido into Takamiya Shiori.

After that, Yang Li told Mio about her outsider identity (without revealing anything about the Abyss Paradise). Mio helped Yang Li, who didn't want to hurt her, by first knocking her unconscious and then starting to replicate the spirits from the original work.

Then, because of Kurumi, Yang Li's fourth talent, the sealed essence 'Yog-Sothoth', was revealed in a little bit, attracting the troublesome Nyarlathotep. In the end, Nyarlathotep, who had transformed into Nyarlathotep, took away the time and space authority and restarted the world line.

He replaced Itsuka Shido, changed his name to Itsuka Reiya, and began his plan to save the spirits. After that, he didn't write much more... This volume is a mess...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

If you've already read all of the above, you can ignore this. Next, I'll briefly share my follow-up thoughts:

Just like how Yoshino was the first to be saved (reuniting her with her mother), giving her the ending she wanted most, the remaining spirits were saved one by one in a quick manner.

Finally, Mio appeared. After Yang Li completed the entire rescue and collected almost all the elven spiritual power, she prepared to use an elven spell to make her the second Primal Elf, breaking through to the sixth rank. She also unintentionally planted the seed of Kabbalah (the tenth spirit crystal) on the seal of 'Yog Sothos'.

Then Nyarko jumped out to cause trouble. Yang Li taught her a lesson with an infinite loop time-space sequence, and then completely reversed her with the spirit magic, making her the second Origin Spirit and the first Complete Reversed Spirit.

Moreover, because Yang Li had collected the complete spiritual power of the ten separated spirits, he also obtained all the angels, which meant his combat power skyrocketed.

Ultimately, through Mio, the true 'Child of the World,' the core of the world was summoned, and the power of 'Yog-Sothoth' was used to separate it, freeing it from the control of 'Abyss Paradise'.

Final Thoughts

Yang Li also became a Primal Spirit-level being, integrating almost all of his own abilities (simplifying abilities and gaining the growth potential of the profession 'God's Forsaken'), and helped the Date A Live world break free from the control of 'Abyss Paradise'.

They also left behind Icarus and Fenrir to help the Date A Live world deal with the upcoming upheaval in Paradise.

……

That's roughly it. In other words, Yang Li has become stronger, but his abilities have also become simpler, consisting only of the Dragon King system, the Elf system, and the techniques and abilities from the Paradise.

He also became a lone wolf (just kidding)... with Artemisia by his side.

PS: 1. Due to the plot's inconsistencies, I've temporarily abandoned this volume and will have to wait and see if I have the chance to catch up later (shrug).

2. Also, the protagonist will have white hair from now on. After all, isn't it common sense to change hair color in a plot twist? (lol)

(For a specific image, you can refer to the current white-haired Tohka in Date A Live, who was gradually leaning towards the aloof Tohka before.)

Section 649: An Introduction to the Additional Elf System

Because of the previous discarded scroll, the protagonist Yang Li gained a complete ability of the spirit system. I also integrated other redundant and unused abilities into it, turning them into nutrients for the 'Kabbalah Spirit Tree' in Yang Li's body!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The following are the protagonist's current Spirit system abilities (according to the official settings of the Date A Live world itself):

Space earthquake magnitude: SSS+

Spirit Gear: SSS+

Angel: SSS+

Overall risk level: SSS+

……

Holding Angel:

1. Athiel (Altar of the Dead)

2. Belial

3. (Qemetiel)

4. The Sword of the Ten Angels (A giant angelic frame composed of the characteristics and features of ten angels, which can envelop the user like an exoskeleton)

PS: The new spirit—is Tohka, who disappeared in the original story, now in a new form with the complete power of a spirit, codenamed (Beast).

Chapter 599, Section 650: Forced Conscription

Chapter 599: Forced Conscription

[Attention, Judge! You will be forcibly conscripted into 'Abyss Paradise' this time!]

[Because the Judges have been temporarily stripped of their functions within the Date A Live world and are about to become violators, they cannot refuse this summons!]

[Due to the Date A Live world, the Judge forcibly stripped away the world's core and will be punished in the following world. This summons is unavoidable!]

[WARNING: The following content is highly confidential and must not be disclosed! Any disclosure will result in 'forced execution'!]

……

The outcome of this conscription is a 'World War,' where the Judges will participate as members of the 'Abyss Paradise' faction to seize ownership of this world!

[Mass recruitment is underway...]

[389 contractors have been recruited, and recruitment is ongoing. The initial estimate is that the total number of participants will reach 600!]

[The Judge has been granted the ability to understand the common language of this world (LV.10). During this 'World War,' the Judge will be able to understand the common language of this world. This ability will be removed when the 'World War' ends!]

[The current 'World War' has a tier system of Tier 5-6. Judges who violate the rules and forcibly break through a tier will be subject to power restrictions!]

[Long-distance teleportation preparation initiated, ultra-long-distance space jump ready...]

[The opponents this time are: Conquer Paradise and Guardian Paradise!]

Blood-red characters appeared in mid-air. Yang Li's expression was somewhat solemn. She knew that when she forcibly broke through the seal, 'Abyss Paradise' would definitely try to counter her.

The limitations on her strength are currently unclear, but as she gradually breaks the seal and unleashes her true power, she discovers something very ominous in the process.

It is set at a mysteriously high level of the sealing rank of Yog-Sothoth, and it has a special property that will collapse directly if it is forcibly broken, destroying the inner seal with huge energy, and even if it cannot be destroyed, it will cause serious damage.

Because the energy source connected to that seal is very likely the core of 'Abyss Paradise' itself.

However, Mio was also thoughtful. The spirit power she created, constructed using the Kabbalah Tree of Life system, grew on the seal just like a real Kabbalah Tree of Life, so that if needed one day—

She can reduce the extent of her injuries by giving up her elven power, thereby achieving a state where she can completely unleash her full strength.

Although even Mio herself probably didn't expect that when she planted the seed of this tree (the tenth spirit crystal), it would grow to its current state under the nourishment of enormous energy.

With a light laugh, Yang Li began preparing for the upcoming 'World War'. While acquiring a large number of recovery medicines, he also fully unleashed his Kabbalah Elf Tree, maximizing his strength to the highest possible level.

With a trace of the essence of an evil god, combined with the complete elven power that has reached the high level of the sixth rank after fusing almost all of its low-level abilities, and a sufficiently excellent weapon.

Everything is perfectly prepared. "Ugh, so boring. You're the only one keeping me company."

With a shake of his clothes, the little creature poked its dragon head out from Yang Li's chest and yawned widely.

With the immense crisis that could destroy 'Abyss Paradise' drawing ever closer, Yang Li made a decision in the Date A Live world, which has led to her current almost isolated state.

The world of Date A Live wasn't strong, but thanks to Yang Li's final manipulation of the reversed power of the spirits and the spirit magic, the entire world itself broke free from the control of 'Abyss Paradise', but it might also be targeted by other paradises.

Just in case, Yang Li ultimately decided to leave Icarus, who had absorbed a large amount of spiritual power and was close to the seventh rank, behind as a precaution.

As for Fenrir, that guy was forcibly kept by Kotori, and his future fate will probably be that of a pet dog (wolf) with the added role of bodyguard.

The 'World War' is about to begin! 705 Tier 5 Contractors and 14 Tier 6 Contractors have been recruited!

[Recruitment is complete. Please prepare to be teleported at any time...]

Yang Li, who was lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality, staring blankly at the subtitles floating in front of her. Then, with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.

……

……

Beneath his feet lay a brilliant starry sky, and above him, a brilliant starry sky also stretched out. Yang Li, amidst this brilliant starry sky, sat cross-legged, head bowed in deep thought.

Who is she? Where is she? What is she doing?

Yang Li felt as if her head had been hit hard by a planet. She touched the side of her buttocks and could tell from the feel that she was not floating or drifting in the air, but sitting on something like an invisible barrier.

There was some noise in my ears, and when I looked around, there were people everywhere, including some strange humanoid species.

For example, a tall, muscular man, at least three meters tall, with wrinkles on his chin, who looks like a purple sweet potato (seriously).

—It's a pity I didn't see the gold gloves.

……

For example, a girl wearing a short skirt and school uniform, but looking silly from head to toe, has two guns in her hands that look strangely familiar.

—It looks very similar to a self-inflicted weapon that Yang Li saw when he was bored and playing mobile games a while ago.
