I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

"Uh." Duke looked a little embarrassed and greeted her even more awkwardly. The murderous intent in the child's eyes was not only because his soul had been corrupted and turned black, but also largely because he had been forcibly brought to this world from a parallel world. "We meet again, little prince. What a coincidence."

“It is quite a coincidence.” The little prince said with a forced smile, “Duke, I want you to kill me completely, not to kill me and then drag me to a place like this to play the trick of coming back to life, understand?”

Duke rubbed his hands together and said with an awkward laugh, "Isn't this an accident? I never expected you to come into our world."

This is a lie.

Duke had foreseen what was happening. When he realized that the Little Prince was courting death, and recalled the line from the Star Map System's limited-time event: "During the limited-time event, the progress of conquering the witch's counterpart in a parallel world will be fed back to the original body through the empathy effect at a certain ratio," Duke had already planned everything.

In this way, the Little Prince is brought back to this world.

That was Duke's idea at the time. After all, according to his plan, after returning to the floating city, they would be back to the point when the Tree of Life was about to explode. Carol would definitely be in the underground city, and the resurrected Dark Prince would be left to her to deal with. Who would have thought that something like time reversal would happen?

"You mean... these are all misunderstandings?"

Duke, displaying a strong survival instinct, raised his hands and shamelessly hid behind Guangbao, only peeking out with his head: "Of course, my friend!"

"Then kill me again."

The little prince rolled his eyes, then gave Cecil a deliberately provocative look and said softly:

"Whoever it is, I welcome them."

Before the Little Prince could finish speaking, and before Duke could give a proper answer, he felt a blur before his eyes and found himself on a miniature planet.

"what?"

Duke was stunned.

Chapter 444 Destruction Begins, Dancing Gracefully

"A second chance at the jackpot, huh?!"

Duke is getting anxious.

Back in the parallel world, when they arrived at the council's gates, before they were even ready, the Little Prince dragged him to a mini-planet. Even with many companions around, especially Amber and Cecil, they couldn't stop him from being taken away. If Amber hadn't desperately rushed into the mini-planet and barely managed to pull him out, who knows what might have happened next?

But to everyone's surprise, after being reincarnated in this world, the little prince was still able to use this move. Moreover, this time, only Amber and Cecil were left by Duke's side. Caught off guard, they were unable to stop the little prince's shameless move.

The Duke of today is far weaker than he was back then. Back then, Duke possessed a divine body, had just ignited the divine fire, and was about to embark on the path to godhood. Both his physical body and soul had been honed to their peak. But what about the Duke of today? He has no physical body, only a spiritual one. His soul is exhausted and lacks motivation due to the return from the parallel world and the loss of his divine position and body. Furthermore, he can no longer use the divine fire, having completely lost his qualification to become a god.

Aside from the experience he gained during his short time as a "savior," Duke hasn't improved in any way compared to his past self—he couldn't hold out for long in front of the Little Prince back then, let alone now.

"Honestly, instead of kidnapping me, you might as well kidnap Cecil. Guangbao can definitely grant your wish to die. I don't even dare to imagine how strong she is now. Maybe you could kidnap her here and fulfill your wish in less than five minutes?"

Duke rolled his eyes and resignedly complained. Although he was about to die, he didn't seem nervous at all, and calmly looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar mini-planet. But soon he realized something by observing the mini-planet.

He might not have to die.

This miniature planet was far more dilapidated than the one Duke remembered. The ground was full of potholes with no flat areas, and the active volcanoes were belching thick black smoke. The lava they had just spewed had not yet dissipated, and baobab tree roots were everywhere, these annoying roots could be seen destroying the planet.

The poor condition of the miniature planet also indicates that its owner, the little prince, is in extremely poor condition—this little prince, who was resurrected in a parallel world, probably has not regained his terrifying strength, and may not even have retained his gender.

If the battle between Duke and the Little Prince in the parallel world was the pinnacle of a battle between gods and legends, then their current state is more of a contest of weakness. Duke has weakened to this extent, and he might not even be much worse than the Little Prince. Moreover, Amber is by Duke's side. Having gained experience once, breaking through spatial limitations and entering the Little Prince's mini-planet again will be much easier for her than before.

Duke doesn't even need to defeat the Little Prince; he just needs to make sure he doesn't get killed by the Little Prince in a short time, and he can survive until Amber arrives.

"call--"

Duke breathed a sigh of relief, then made a Chinese Kung Fu starting move towards the blond boy in front of him. He wasn't completely powerless. At least after experiencing the divine position of "savior," Duke, who had learned to use the power of will, had his omnipotent trickery greatly enhanced.

"Don't come any closer, I'm not afraid of you."

The little prince rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What I want is for you not to be afraid of me, right? You'd better just kill me."

"No, look at my current state! Didn't I tell you before, if you want to die, go find Cecil. After Guangbao kills you, he can use Holy Light to scatter your ashes."

The corrupted Little Prince shrugged noncommittally, then snapped his fingers at Duke. The next instant, Duke felt another violent jolt before his eyes, and they left the dilapidated mini-planet and arrived in a strange place.

"What I want is death, but thanks to you, there are few things left that can kill me now."

The little prince said with a cold laugh. His words made Duke pause for a moment, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had really caused him a very bad influence. Just as Duke was filled with a sense of guilt, he suddenly realized where they were.

Here, the scene was almost identical to what the "man in the mirror" had seen. Right in front of Duke and the little prince, a supercomputer resembling the heart of a behemoth was running. Countless "blood vessels" made of magical technology were connected to this heart, transmitting its computing power to various parts of the floating city.

On the supercomputer's body, Duke saw the number "5497" written in red paint. The moment he saw these numbers, Duke understood.

This is the main body of the vessel.

This is the most central area of ​​the floating city.

It is also the lowest level that the underground passage leads to.

However, unlike what Duke saw through the "Mirror Man" before, there was no transparent coffin containing his original body here. The scene provided by the Mirror Man was indeed "another possibility," that is, the possibility that his body was sent to the depths of the underground and sealed. But in the reality that Duke and the others are now in contact with, his body is probably not placed in such a deep floating city.

Duke frowned, looked at the little prince, and coldly questioned, "Why did you bring me here?"

"I told you, there aren't many things left that can kill me now."

The little prince revealed a sinister smile; his once lovely and innocent face now looked exceptionally terrifying.

"And coincidentally, the Star Chart System within you is one of them, and the Doomsday that the Floating City is bound to is also one of them."

The Little Prince kidnapped Duke instead of Cecil because Duke still possessed the Star Chart system. However, after realizing that Duke did not intend to fight him to the death, the Little Prince immediately changed his mind and shifted his pursuit from the former to the latter.

"Come on! Let your star map system bring about the doom of the floating city!"

Duke sensed something changing in the air.

He stared at the heart of the floating city, which was still functioning normally. Lines of programming language with its own logic kept popping up on its screen. However, as something in the shadows changed, the vessel itself also began to change, and it began to become illusory.

Then, a demonic hand suddenly appeared in front of Duke, or more precisely, in front of the vessel itself that was in front of Duke.

Its appearance is similar to the Hand of the Evil God, but its size is vastly different from that Hand of the Evil God, which could only grasp a miniature planet. It looks only the size of an ordinary person's arm. However, while the Hand of the Evil God needed to grasp a miniature planet, this Hand of the Evil God only needs to grasp the body of the vessel.

It grabbed the bottle and then squeezed it hard.

"Boom—"

The deafening explosion, which threatened to engulf the entire floating city, swallowed Duke and the little prince who were almost within reach, and spread the devastation throughout the entire floating city.

Destruction erupts suddenly and silently, and dances arrogantly on the stage of fate.

Chapter 445 Item Name: Bride Princess Anne

Duke suddenly opened his eyes.

Annie, Ida, Alice, Stephanie, Dragon Girl Zun... his companions appeared before Duke once again. He was stunned, completely unaware of what had happened. He was still recalling what had happened in the previous moment of his consciousness, but the vivid touch jolted him awake.

Divine body?

Upon realizing that he possessed a complete soul and a complete body, the divine body inhabited by his soul immediately trembled. Then, just as had happened in a parallel world during the last time travel, a powerful and uncontrollable force enveloped Duke's body and instantly crushed it into dust before everyone's eyes.

Duke's divine body vanished into nothingness, leaving not a trace of flesh or blood, only a bewildered spirit standing there.

He died again and again.

"what's the situation?"

Duke and the others present gasped in almost the same way, but Duke quickly realized what had happened. Clearly, when he was dragged deep underground by the Little Prince and saw the real body of the vessel, Duke not only directly caused the apocalypse of the floating city, but also triggered another time reversal.

Could it be that Carol set the time reversal to "as soon as the apocalypse of the alien invasion occurs, time reversal will immediately occur, returning to a fixed time"?

It seems that the fixed time Carol set is most likely right now.

Duke began to think.

Upon witnessing this scene, the companions were thrown into chaos once again. This time, Annie was the first to act, but her action was slightly different from the last time. Instead, she reached out her hand without hesitation and subconsciously used Bone Transformation.

Bone Transformation transformed her right hand, which she had extended towards Duke, into a complex skeletal hand, and her gaze held a rather threatening look... Annie's movements came to an abrupt halt. Her eyes, which had been filled with murderous intent and obsession, suddenly became confused. Moreover, this confusion was not only about why Duke had "died suddenly," but also about why she herself had taken such an action.

Duke frowned and said softly, "Annie, do you remember?"

“Remember what?” Annie looked blankly at Duke’s spirit, then her bewildered gaze filled with ferocity and murderous intent. She abruptly turned to Ida beside her: “What happened?! Who did it?!”

"Why are you looking at me?" Ida frowned, her voice echoing in everyone's minds, but then she stopped abruptly. She rubbed her temples, slowly exhaled, and after a long while, suddenly raised her head, glaring fiercely at Duke, and demanded, "How many times has time reversed now?"

"At least the second time."

It seems that apart from Duke, no one else inherited the memories of the last time travel. Duke's star map system also did not help him pass on the memories of the last time travel to his companions. However, experiencing a time travel does not mean that nothing happened.

Judging from Anne's slightly different actions and Ida's quick reaction and questioning, they at least retained something similar to déjà vu.

Duke sighed, quickly calming the somewhat agitated Annie down, and then briefly recounted what had happened in the parallel world and what had occurred during the last time travel.

"You mean we're trapped in a time loop that could last for an unknown amount of time?" Annie frowned, exclaiming in surprise, "Is our city lord really that powerful? If she's really that strong, I don't think even our previously acknowledged top-tier beauty, Ms. Fei, would be a match for her, would she?"

Who officially recognized this ceiling?

Ida voiced her dissatisfaction, but Anne ignored her.

"I don't know, maybe Carol really is that powerful, who knows?" Duke shook his head. At this moment, as if he remembered something, he opened the system interface and asked Annie, "Why did you use Bone Transformation just now?"

Anne frowned and thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Because this is what I wanted to do during the last time travel."

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

“If it were me from the last time travel, I would definitely be thinking about one thing—how to create a body for you.” Annie put her hands on her hips, revealing a little smugness, as if she was trying to gain credit from Duke. “The me from the last time travel probably came up with an idea: if I used bone transformation to create a bone hand with high-precision movements, and then collected a sample of your divine body’s flesh and blood at the moment your divine body collapsed, wouldn’t I be able to create a body for you?”

"So, you don't have the memory of the last time you went back in time?"

"So I stopped halfway through. It was just a vague obsession and a sense of déjà vu. I have no memories of the parallel world, nor do I have memories of the previous time travel." Annie sighed, looking at the bone hand she had created with some regret, and then casually disassembled and put it away. "If I had been more decisive, maybe I could have actually collected some flesh and blood."

"Do it a couple more times, and the sense of déjà vu will become stronger, and you'll naturally get the hang of it." Duke clicked his tongue and suggested to Annie, "I suggest you keep repeating your thoughts in your mind right now, so that if there's another time travel, you'll be able to react immediately."

“But doesn’t that mean you’ll have to die a few more times?” Annie looked at Duke with some concern, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, and said with her teary eyes, “I feel sorry for you, Duke.”

Duke: "..."

When a yandere/green tea bitch emerges, perhaps green tea bitches will have nothing left to do.

For a moment, everyone looked at Annie with strange eyes. The image she presented to everyone was always that of a stalker, a crazy woman, or a mad scientist. Now, suddenly discovering that she was also a green tea b*tch was as strange as when Columbus discovered the New World.

But soon, Amber tensed up, then glanced at Annie with a rather wary look, before casually glancing at Guangbao beside her.

As expected, her biggest rival in love is Annie; what's this silly Guangbao next to her compared to that...?

Duke was completely unaware that his backyard was on fire; he was busy checking the system interface.

[During the limited-time event, you will be rewarded with one single-draw ticket for each successful time loop.]

Settlement completed.

As expected, the star map system defines this time reversal as "reincarnation".
