Talulah, I'm still a child.

The little fox isn't interested in many things in this world, which is a good thing. Otherwise, with his power, if he were to harbor some bad intentions, everyone's lives wouldn't be easy.

"Summon the Shapeshifters, Blood Lords, and Carrion Eaters. Have Manfred help maintain order in the city and keep a close watch on the Grand Dukes' movements!"

"Yes!"

The messenger who received the order immediately ran off to carry out the mission. Now everyone could see how bad the situation was. Fortunately, the various dukes were delayed on their way for some reason, otherwise the battle might have started on the outskirts of Londinium tomorrow.

In fact, even if Theresis hadn't done that, everyone would have known after seeing the commotion at the shattered building that it might be the starting point of all these changes. Especially after learning that Mei Xue was up there, Shining, Exusiai, and the others were extremely anxious. That vague sense of unease lingered in everyone's hearts, so much so that they didn't even realize that Talulah, the Doctor, and Amiya were not present.

Needless to say, the Shard Tower is a heavily guarded place. However, the sudden fire and battle at the top of the building created a gap in the defenses. Moreover, even if they wanted to stop them, the group at the forefront, such as Skadi and Lin Qingyan, as well as the three Sui sisters, were beyond their ability to hold back.

"So what exactly happened? That flame must be Surtr, right? Could it be that Mei Xue was attacked?"

"I don't know, I really can't think of anyone who could hurt him."

Mostima bit her lip, and her staff vibrated again, freezing space and time for her. She stepped directly on these frozen fragments and ran upwards. The three Sui sisters and Lin Qingyan flew directly, while Ghost Shark embedded his chainsaw into the outer wall of the building and used the chainsaw to spin himself up.

As for the rest of the people, they could only take the stairs, like Skadi. However, these girls didn't have the time to climb the stairs one floor at a time; they simply broke through the ceiling and rushed upwards.

Seeing this, Therese could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart.

"My building!"

Chapter 134 Mei Xue has grown taller!

The moonlight tonight was abnormally bright, hanging in the sky like a light bulb, along with those towering pillars of light. All of this indicated that tonight would be the beginning of some kind of branching. Abrahana frowned as she looked at the chasm before her.

The 15-kilometer-long chasm hindered the Iron Duke's troops' advance, and it would take an extra day to go around it, since the supplies could not be lost.

However, when the strange events began to unfold that night, she realized that the other grand dukes' halt today was not without reason, especially Windermere and Castle, who definitely knew some inside information!

"Wow...it's huge!"

With its tail swaying gently, the little fox couldn't help but sigh as it looked at the skeleton in the huge empty hole before it.

This old body from the Nine-Tails era was not much smaller than the Ten-Tails era, occupying a full tenth of the entire moon. It was the kind of body that could overturn the entire continent of Terra with just one tail. Even if Surtr's Lava Giant were fully unleashed, it wouldn't be as big as a single finger bone of this body.

There were no lights around, but the skeleton itself emitted a soft white light, as if welcoming him, because of Mei Xue's arrival and his subtle response.

Despite regaining her memories, Mei Xue was still shocked by the enormous skeleton when she saw it with her own eyes. Unlike the seventh tail, which had most of its power drained by the Nine-Colored Deer, the body corresponding to the ninth tail had not been damaged too much over the tens of thousands of years, or rather, for Mei Xue, this period of time was so short that it was almost negligible.

It's just a difference in decimal places, roughly the difference between 100% and 99.9999%, which is enough for Mei Xue now.

"Hey, are you serious? This skeleton isn't yours to... Oh dear, don't you know that?"

The doctor's voice came from the surroundings, and it was clear that she was in a hurry. This skeleton was left behind when Mei Xue cut off the ninth tail. They brought it back to study it together with Su Xue'er's egg. Initially, Number Ten was the one living in it.

In other words, the skeleton was contaminated; even though it appeared to radiate a soft glow, it was filled with traces of various deadly poisons.

"I know, that's why I chose to help the Great Yan in that way back then."

Mei Xue smiled and pointed to the tip of her tail. The deep black color was particularly eye-catching at the moment. It was a mark left from helping Da Yan in the past. Later, it was stabilized by Su Xue'er's power, allowing Mei Xue to complete herself from another aspect.

"So you even used that incident..."

The Doctor in front of the screen felt a mix of emotions. She knew very well that Mei Xue had sacrificed one of her tails, and had even witnessed the whole process. At the time, she thought it was Mei Xue's helpless act, but it turned out to be intentional. He even took the opportunity to allow Laterano to gain a foothold, burying his abandoned old body under Laterano's clock tower.

"All the preparations were for today. I cannot allow myself to fail, otherwise many people would have died in vain."

As she spoke, a soft white light gradually shimmered around Mei Xue's body, echoing the skeleton before her.

"Um... Mei Xue, why do I feel like we're filming 'Ultraman Tiga'?"

It's not that the professor has a strong urge to make sarcastic remarks; the little fox really does seem to be turning into light, almost like Masaki Keigo shouting to guide humanity.

"Isn't that great? I've always wanted to become light!"

"But you're clearly turning into a monster now."

"It's an auspicious sign!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Xue transformed into countless butterflies made of light particles and flew into the skeleton. The originally soft white light instantly became dazzling.

[Warning! Warning! High-energy reaction detected!]

[An unusual spatiotemporal fluctuation has been detected. Distortion points are forming; the number is unknown. Warning!]

[Entering high alert status; requesting administrator privileges!]

As Mei Xue completely merged into that past body, the dissipated energy penetrated the surface of the artificial satellite, making the moon brighter than ever before. Because there has been an ancient saying about foxes worshipping the moon, the people of Da Yan subconsciously felt that this was mostly the work of the little fox spirit. Although there were two beams of light within Da Yan's territory, they did not panic much and continued to sleep as usual. They felt that it was enough to leave such matters to the imperial court.

"The mere release of energy can cause such a reaction, Mei Xue... tsk, I underestimated you."

Mei Xue's power is much stronger than imagined, especially now that she has reached the level of a nine-tailed fox. When the Third Research Institute came to this world, the little fox had already become an eight-tailed fox. Although the test report at that time still gave her a very high rating, Mei Xue with nine tails is, to be honest, the first time the Doctor has seen her.

"There are so many points of distortion in spacetime. If Mei Xue really turns back into the Ten-Tails, then..."

The ground began to tremble. Through the monitoring screen, the doctor could clearly see that after the light faded, the originally lifeless and decaying skeleton completely disappeared, replaced by an equally enormous body. Compared to Mei Xue now, the large cavity that the research institute used to contain him was still too small; the little fox could bump into the ceiling as soon as it looked up.

"Hmm...as expected..."

"As expected?" Miss Doctor began to think. Mei Xue had given her too many frights today. She couldn't react for a moment and didn't dare to guess what other tricks this clever little fox might have up her sleeve. The key was that Number Ten had been tricked and couldn't get away at all.

If Mei Xue still has any tricks up her sleeve, then the Doctor will really have no choice but to surrender – to raise the flag and give up.

"I'm really tall! No one can say I'm short anymore!"

Despite being a colossal creature capable of killing even Godzilla with a single lash of its tail, Mei Xue, when she reverts to her true form as a white fox, still makes such a cute, soft, and pleasant sound. If it weren't for her slight fear of heights that prevents her from looking down, Mei Xue would definitely want to jump right through the ceiling.

He glanced at his tails, and now all nine tails were full of spirit; he could truly be called the Nine-Tailed Fox.

However, what made Mei Xue happiest was his height. He thought that now that he had found his body again, when he returned to human form, he would at least be able to get rid of his current boyish appearance, if not reach the height of Gretia. Putting aside everything else, the little fox was a teenager when he was seven to ten tails, and he was also exceptionally mature when he was six tails.

It must have been because I hadn't finished repairing it before. Hmm, I've recovered to Nine-Tails level, which is my peak even without Android 10. I need to take care of my sister's matter later. Whatever it is, I need to resolve it tonight.

"Hehehe~ Now let's see who dares to call me a little fox, I'm a big fox now!"

Mei Xue was so happy that he couldn't help but jump around, but when he jumped, he almost caused the entire artificial satellite to collapse, which startled Miss Doctor. She thought that Mei Xue was planning to demolish the place.

However, the little fox, or rather the big fox, didn't actually have that idea at all. It was fine to keep the artificial satellite. Sooner or later, the Terrans would arrive here, just as the Doctor and Precys had hoped for.

"So, are you going to meet your other self, Doctor?"

Although Mei Xue liked the doctor at the lunar base because of her trust in the doctor at Rhodes Island, the level of trust was incomparable. In fact, the two doctors were just shadows of the same person under two lights, with no difference at all. It was better for them to see each other than for the doctor to die here.

"...Number 10 and I will both die."

"You've chosen this path."

Mei Xue twitched her ears. This was not unexpected. In fact, Mei Xue had thought about it long ago. The doctor's lifespan could not be that long. It was okay to rely on the hibernation of the stone coffin, but the doctor in front of her had indeed lived for a very long time. Perhaps, she took over this place the day after the current civilization was completely destroyed.

She and Number Ten were bound together by life and death, which is why she had such a long lifespan. No, she was already dead, but her fate was concealed, thus deceiving the world.

"It's unavoidable... I've sat in this chair for too many years, watching this planet, watching its civilization try to stand up again and again, only to be suppressed time and time again, and there's nothing I can do."

Even through the screen, the doctor's eyes were filled with rage, an endless rage, as if she wanted to burn Mei Xue on the other side of the camera to death.

"Because there is no possibility anymore, the future has already been locked in, any attempt to break the established trajectory has failed, all of it... is in vain."

Finally, sensing Number Ten on Londinium's side, the Doctor lost all her strength and collapsed into her chair. She knew that everything they had done had come to an end.

"Feel sorry."

Mei Xue said this, even though he didn't do it intentionally, but this was his rule for fulfilling wishes. When someone made a wish, he had to split the timeline and only keep the path that could fulfill that wish. Yes, the entire trajectory of the world's development was fixed, and there was no other way to go.

In other words, Mei Xue deprived everyone in the world of possibilities and futures, and fixed the fate of everyone, including those who had not yet been born into this world. This is why he had previously discovered that other world lines could extend out many branches like a tree, but the main world he was in was as straight as a telephone pole.

It turns out the little fox personally took the scissors and snip-snip-snip everything clean.

"I don't blame you... In the end, I'm the one who ruined all of this."

Number 10's decline was becoming increasingly apparent, and Miss Doctor calmly chose to accept her fate, even though she felt that her years of hard work were a joke in front of Mei Xue, but it was no use saying anything now.

When they chose to cooperate with Number Ten, they were actually well aware that as villains, their chances of winning were the lowest, because Mei Xue was too unreasonable.

"When I learned that this planet was called Terra and saw the Originium Bugs, I knew that it was destined to have a less than bright future."

"I originally thought that with me and us, that kind of world would forever remain just a dream, but..."

When the planetary ecological transformation project called Haisi was put on the agenda, a new type of energy called Originium was discovered. Only when one had to face everything in the end could one understand how insignificant an individual's power was in the face of the torrent of fate.

No matter how much effort you put in, fate just took a detour and then returned to its original trajectory.

"A good era will come."

Like a comforting gesture, or perhaps a promise, Mei Xue closed his eyes and sensed everything. He had Amaya and the others burn their past bodies not simply to inject new vitality into Terra, but for other purposes as well.

However, the commotion caused was quite significant, and her older sister, Su Xue'er, had already become somewhat aware of it. As for her matter, it could no longer be delayed.

Similarly, there's the Doctor on Rhodes Island. She knows Mei Xue too well. Now that both of their memories have returned, the various arrangements made in the past are beginning to come to an end. The Doctor has taken Amiya to find Theresa—yes, the Theresa that Theresa resurrected by Theresis.

Let them reunite. To be honest, the little fox could basically guess what the Doctor was going to do, but he didn't intend to stop them, or rather, he couldn't.

However, there's one thing the little fox needs to do right now, and he's in a hurry; he's practically a frantic fox.

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears, then retracted her body, returning to her original posture after another burst of white light. Whether it was psychological or a real change, the grounded little fox felt as if she had indeed grown taller.

Then, without rushing to do anything else, it immediately took out a scale from its tail to measure weight and height and placed it on the ground. Because of the gravity system of the lunar base, the internal gravity was the same as that of Terra. However, weight didn't matter; the little fox only cared about height!

Standing on the scale, the little fox lowered the height measuring tape until it touched its head, then closed its eyes, somewhat hesitant to look.

Behind Mei Xue, the nine tails huddled together, looking at the standard 145. After hesitating for a moment, the fourth tail stretched out and gently adjusted the height scale upwards, not too much, just to 180.

Seeing this, the third tail couldn't help but pat the fourth tail, and then dialed 200 for Mei Xue.

This left the remaining tails speechless, and they all made their moves. Those who doted on Mei Xue raised the height, while the more rational ones lowered it, eventually stabilizing at a height of 190. Well, that's the result of the coordination between Mei Xue's tails.

In the end, the most rational of them all, number two, had no choice but to lower the height chart, which finally stabilized at 150 cm. They really wanted to raise the height chart, but unfortunately, Mei Xue herself wasn't up to the task.

If they adjust it to 1.9 meters, even Xiao Ke... ah, no, Xiao Ke might not be able to notice.

In her extreme confusion, Mei Xue didn't notice what her tails were doing. The little fox simply opened her eyes slowly, then counted upwards while clenching her fists.

"One meter... five centimeters!!!"

When the little fox saw where the height chart stopped, it could hardly believe its eyes. It rubbed its eyes and looked again, finally confirming that it was indeed 1.5 meters tall!

"awesome!"

The little fox was so happy it almost flew away; even if it didn't fly, it jumped more than ten meters high while still standing still.

"Sure enough! I've grown a full five centimeters taller!"

Although it was only five centimeters, Mei Xue thought it was already a breakthrough for herself. The little fox clenched her fist and couldn't help but imagine the future.

This made the doctor in front of the screen twitch at the corner of her mouth. Could it be that the little fox's purpose in creating a new world was just to make itself grow taller?
