Amber in his family was definitely not this kind of indifferent bystander. She should be that clumsy, easily startled, yet all-around capable little maid. She should be that lewd elf who could enthusiastically appreciate the Drow elf picture book and talk about sexual fetishes in public. She should be that Amber who was willing to risk her life to keep up with Duke's pace and fight alongside him.
How could Amber's future turn out like this? What happened to make her future like this?
Or is this really the amber of the future?
“I am indeed the amber of the future.”
Duke was slightly taken aback.
Because "Amber" in his system screen suddenly looked at the camera. She, who had been maintaining a cold expression, smiled slightly at the camera, as if the dead of winter had suddenly turned into spring warmth and flowers, sweeping away the originally suppressed emotions in Duke's heart.
"But this is not the real future. This is just the star map's speculation about the future based on current information. So these fates are becoming more and more like the fates I have seen before... But the future should not be certain. From your point of view, these are just one possibility of the future."
In the scene, Amber spoke softly, snapped her fingers, pointed behind her, and then pointed out of the frame. Duke looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Amber's profile.
Duke opened his mouth, about to speak to the future Amber in the image, but she interrupted him first: "No need to say anything, I can't hear your voice, and I'm just a future afterimage simulated by the Star Chart System. It's just that because of that child's two time-manipulation techniques, my completion rate is slightly higher than others."
"Besides, I don't have much time, so let's keep it short."
"The fate of the floating cities is predetermined, and this applies to both floating cities. The previous generation of the Space Witch and the current generation of the Time Witch have both tried to resist, especially Carol. She has 'rebooted' several times, each time trying to gather a large group of legendary and quasi-legendary beings with the power of destiny, such as Eve and Cecil, but she has not been able to break the fate, and has not even been able to solve the 'Little Prince' Witch Game so far."
"However, an unexpected event suddenly occurred, breaking this cycle of fate—because you appeared out of nowhere, like a stone suddenly springing from a crack in the rock, becoming the 'Little Prince' that Carol couldn't solve even after several reincarnations!"
Duke frowned.
"Of course, passing the 'Little Prince' level does not mean breaking fate. The Little Prince is just the key formula for this solution. From beginning to end, what the floating city lacked was a person who could use the formula to complete the solution."
"And you have proven that you and the star map system within you are the only solution to break this fate. The only problem is that you completed 'The Little Prince' too early, causing the solution to lose its key formula. That is why Carol asked you to bring the Little Prince back from the parallel world."
"But... I must remind you, do not take the Little Prince back! You cannot take her from this world to a parallel world!"
"I believe that even with these limitations, you can still break the fate of the floating city's destruction, Duke!"
After Future Amber finished speaking, the image suddenly blurred, and even her voice became shrill and distorted. At the same time, Duke's system interface flickered as if it were about to lose power. In the very end, Duke only heard Future Amber's noisy words:
"Finally, after saving the world and having nothing else to do, you can spend some time making me sexually happy, understand?"
Duke: "?"
Her previously enigmatic and mysterious persona crumbled instantly—in Duke's mind, this future Amber was a completely different person from Amber, deserving of the title "The Lonely Observer" given in the system item description. But now it seems... the future Amber is still the familiar, lewd elf he knows.
For some reason, Duke felt a sense of relief and then wanted to close the system interface and focus his attention back on the present—at least after escaping from the mini planet, wouldn't it be better to think about all this nonsense and then bring Cecil in to beat up the little prince?
However, before closing the system interface, Duke glanced casually at the item description of Mythical Armament: Amber and was surprised to find that it had changed slightly in a short period of time:
[Item Description: A solitary observer has entered this chaotic world.]
Chapter 407 Even the Little Prince fell silent
While Duke was focusing his attention on the future amber in the video, the real amber in reality was confronting the Little Prince.
“A strange power, but it seems familiar.” The little prince raised an eyebrow, and his eyes, besides pure malice, showed some curiosity as he looked at Amber. “You remind me of someone I’ve met before.”
Holding Duke, Amber pursed her lips, ignoring the Little Prince, who continued with the topic he had brought up:
"I remember it was when the floating city was first built. At that time, many powerful people appeared around me, curious about how the floating city was built. They kept chasing and intercepting me and the floating city, trying to figure out how I did it. Among those cannon fodder... I mean, among the so-called powerful people, there was only one duo that I remember vividly."
Before the Little Prince could finish speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and used the absolute control she had invaded the mini-planet with that night on Amber, attempting to use this sudden attack to make Amber remove her glasses and thus control her. However, the Little Prince's attempt failed. Although the divine fire only formed the frame of Amber's glasses, her control still failed.
"The power to exist simultaneously in different spaces and times, thus escaping absolute control? It's a really strange yet interesting power." Despite his defeat, the Little Prince showed no sign of frustration, but continued the topic he hadn't finished earlier: "You must have heard of that duo, right? I remember they came from a parallel world. One of them called herself the 'Miracle Witch,' and the other called herself the 'Space Witch.'"
Amber was slightly startled, but immediately realized that the miracle witch the Little Prince mentioned might be Lady Scarlet herself, but the space witch definitely did not refer to herself.
In the past thousand years, the floating city ruled by witches has only seen two generations of space witches. The second generation was Amber, and what the Little Prince was talking about was probably the previous generation of space witch! If Duke hadn't been so engrossed in Amber's future video and had heard the bombshell the Little Prince was dropping, he probably would have immediately realized that Ms. Scarlet's replication of the floating city wasn't without accomplices, such as the space witch the Little Prince mentioned... and the prophecy witch who was currently serving as a mascot and stabilizing force in the core management of the floating city.
But Duke was currently daydreaming, and Amber, who "inherited the mantle of the previous generation of Space Witch," didn't know much about her predecessor, nor was she clear about the relationship between the two floating cities, so she had no further connection to the past.
Her thoughts were almost entirely focused on how to escape from here with Duke.
Mythical Armament: Amber's duration is not permanent; it only lasts for sixty seconds, so you must hurry!
Amber sketched out the spatial coordinates of the floating city's safe zone, silently reciting the coordinates in her mind, and began to use a space magic spell that could traverse worlds. In the past, she might have found it difficult to travel from the alternate dimension of the Witch Game back to the floating city in the main plane. For example, in the Babel Tower Turtle Soup Witch Game, she was unable to escape the endless world of memories. But now, she only needed to think about it to leave this world.
"Goodbye."
The spatial spell is complete.
Amber felt the force of the spatial jump begin to pull her and Duke's bodies apart, but at that moment, the little prince in front of her clapped his hands gently and said with a smile:
"Don't go! I'd like you two to stay for dinner."
The spatial jump came to an abrupt halt.
This time, she was not using the controlling power of the world rule of "absolute submission" that invaded the mini planet, but her own power.
This miniature planet, this world that contains both the miniature planet and the starry sky of the home planet, is entirely composed of the Little Prince's legendary destiny. In this world, nothing can harm the Little Prince, and no magic can be created against his will. As long as she does not want to let Duke go, Amber's spatial magic to escape the alternate dimension will not succeed.
The Little Prince continued clapping and strolled toward Amber, who was holding Duke. She had a faint smile on her face, but the malice behind that smile was something that would make Amber tremble. The lewd elf had never intended to confront such a terrifying creature head-on. Her thoughts were the same as Duke's, who was daydreaming: to run away first.
Next time you come in, bring Cecil along and let Guangbao beat up the little prince, wouldn't that be better? She's not a legend, why should she risk her life against the little prince?
Even if it means becoming someone who can fight alongside Duke, it doesn't mean Amber is an idiot!
But at this moment, the Little Prince blocked this road.
"May I...may I ask a question?" Amber swallowed hard, speaking to the little prince for the first time since activating the mythical weapon. She asked somewhat tremblingly, "Little friend, why do you value Duke so much? Why don't you want us to leave?"
"I want to eat him."
The little prince grinned, revealing her adorable fangs, and said with a fierce air.
But when Amber heard this, she tilted her head and subconsciously asked, "What kind of 'eat'?"
"?"
In that instant, even the little prince, who was shrouded in malice, fell silent. The legal loli, whose exact age was unknown, looked at Amber with a subtle expression. Having endured thousands of years of torment in other dimensions, she naturally understood the lewd elf's question, but understanding it did not mean she could comprehend why the elf would ask such a hellish question.
But the next moment, the little prince, who was the ultimate amusement person, clicked his tongue and his previously frozen mouth grinned again. He said coldly, "Heh, as Duke's girlfriend, I didn't expect you to care more about his lower body than his life."
To everyone's surprise, Amber did not react with the defensiveness or rebuttal that the Little Prince had anticipated. Instead, her face flushed, she nodded in agreement and said frankly, "You're too young to understand. This is the most important thing."
The Little Prince: "..."
In less than ten seconds, the Little Prince was silenced twice by Amber. Even someone as playful as her couldn't hold back anymore—and her time wasn't endless. Soon, the mini planet would be at sunrise, and according to the rules she and her partner had made, once sunrise came, she would have to hand over control to another personality, at which point they could leave easily.
The Little Prince didn't leave Duke behind to eat him, nor was he a monk like Tang Sanzang. He left Duke behind simply to figure out one thing, a very crucial thing.
Where did the star map system go?
Forget it, let's just get started.
The moment the Little Prince made his decision, Amber, who was holding Duke, suddenly disappeared from her sight.
They didn't leave, but... they used a teleportation technique that the Little Prince couldn't react to, and instantly appeared behind her?!
The little prince suddenly turned around.
Chapter 408 Time Difference
The little prince suddenly turned around to look behind him, but still couldn't catch a glimpse of Amber. He could only sense that she had just appeared behind him and then immediately crossed space to reach another location.
Wow, that was fast.
It happened so fast that she didn't even have time to cancel Amber's spell... no, not that she didn't have time to react, but that there was simply no possibility of her reacting.
It's important to understand that even spatial spells that can be cast instantly without any rituals or actions still involve a time process of "accumulating magic power" and "tearing open space." As long as it follows the normal logic of spell activation, the Little Prince couldn't possibly fail to react. However, the spatial spell Amber just cast instantly not only lacked the "accumulation of magic power" process, but it didn't even allow the Little Prince to perceive the "tearing open space" process. The spell's formation had absolutely no time difference!
In other words, Amber activated the spatial spell not at this moment, but in a slightly earlier timeline.
While she was in an earlier timeline, she activated a spatial spell. After the spatial spell completed all the preparations, she jumped back to the normal timeline, much like a layback in music, where the rhythm of the song is slightly slower than the beat of the music. This time difference smoothed out the time difference that the Little Prince could use, thus completing the spellcasting without any prelude.
At this point, Amber was no longer just a space witch who manipulated space; she also held the mysterious realm of time in her hands.
Space and time are domains that only legendary spellcasters can master. To master either one through a legendary destiny is already an extraordinary top spellcaster. But a spellcaster of an even higher level should be able to master the mutual transformation of space and time, and utilize both space and time.
If Carol can do it, the previous generation's Space Witch could most likely do it too.
Now, with the help of mythical weapons, Amber has temporarily entered this realm.
"Ha! Interesting, but this technique probably can't be used to perform the spatial jump beforehand, right? The casting animation of spatial spells used to escape this world is much longer than this kind of trivial short-distance teleportation. I'm afraid the time difference you can control can't cover up such a long casting animation, right?"
Unfortunately, Amber's opponent at this moment is the Little Prince. Not only did she directly face the previous generation of Space Witch at the beginning of the floating city's establishment, but she also came into contact with Duke, Amber, and other residents of the parallel world, and obtained memories from the Little Prince of the parallel world—the Little Prince of the parallel world had directly faced Carol, who had a similar fighting style.
The previous generation of Space Witch and Amber were better at controlling space, and Carol was better at controlling time. There were only three top spellcasters in the floating city who could freely switch between space and time. The little prince simply fought them all. There was probably no one in the two floating cities who was more suitable to deal with Amber than her.
The Little Prince's eyes darted around, capturing every moment of the ever-moving amber, while he precisely articulated all the problems the amber faced:
"And how long can your state last? Can those glasses blazing with divine fire withstand a minute of high-intensity combat? I have plenty of time. This duel is not fair at all—ha, as soon as you stop, or even just slow down your teleportation frequency, my attack will hit your face in the next instant."
The Little Prince's original intention was simply to put pressure on Amber, to increase her psychological stress and cause her to make a mistake. As long as she made even the slightest mistake, the Little Prince would keep his promise. However, he did not expect that before he could finish speaking, Amber, who had been teleporting, would suddenly stop.
The Little Prince: "?"
Amber clearly wouldn't tire so quickly; the glasses still burned with a dazzling divine fire on her nose. Stopping now would only be a trap… but the Little Prince didn't care about traps. In her own world, nothing could harm her.
So she kept her promise, took a step forward without hesitation, and moved so fast that it was almost like teleportation. In an instant, she was in front of Amber, raised her cute little fist and smashed it at Amber.
In the instant the fist was thrown, the little prince saw Duke in Amber's arms, saw Duke open his eyes, and saw him magically produce a remote control-like object from his arms.
"Cheat item: Instant kill".
When Duke's fist collided with her own, the little prince finally heard him utter something softly. Then she was unable to think of anything, because a strange force, originating from Duke's fist, spread throughout her body, and in the blink of an eye, this force caused her body to collapse.
With Amber's help, Duke found his chance to become One-Punch Man. Using the cheat item's instant-kill function, he directly destroyed the Little Prince's body with a single punch!
The little prince's eyes widened, and then he crumbled into a pool of starlight, shattering and disappearing before the two of them.
However, Amber did not hesitate at all and began to use the spell of spatial teleportation without hesitation, wanting to take Duke away from this world—this was the order that Duke gave her during the continuous teleportation after he came to his senses.
Duke didn't believe that the cheat device could kill the Little Prince instantly, especially since this was her legendary destiny. If she was considered a god-like being, then Duke's actions were equivalent to punching the mute in the god's kingdom... Could that succeed? What a joke! Duke himself didn't believe it, and he didn't even believe in the cheat device.
The side effects of this instant kill were much weaker than Duke had originally imagined. Clearly, in the judgment of the cheat device, instantly killing the Little Prince's body was not a difficult task.
In other words, she can change bodies at any time!
Duke jumped out of Amber's arms, then hugged the hiding Amber in a princess carry, and turned to run wildly towards the east of the mini planet. He only took two or three steps, and a second had passed when a brand new little prince appeared behind Duke.
"Stay, Duke!"
The little prince lunged at him through gritted teeth, but in that instant, Duke stopped and softly announced:
"But then, the sun rose."
Mini planets are very small.
