I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

However, in Annie's opinion... based on the combat experience of the elf princess in front of her, Annie had serious doubts about whether she could make the most of her strengths in the battle.

“I understand.” Annie nodded, then said seriously, “Then before we head to the mini-planet, let’s find that idiot Cecil and bring her along!”

"what?"

“I think we still need a henchman, don’t we?” Annie smiled slightly. “To be honest, although I don’t like that idiot, she is indeed very strong.”

Amber thought about her pitiful combat record and nodded in agreement: "You're right."

But instead of leaving with Annie, she casually reached out and reached into a hole. As Amber made that movement, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of her, and she put her hand into it.

The next moment, a bewildered Cecil was pulled out of the spatial rift by Amber and placed in front of him and Annie. He then turned to Annie and asked, "Can we head to the mini-planet now?"

Cecil: "?"

Annie: "..."

Anne suddenly realized that her assessment of amber was not entirely reasonable.

"Wait, wait, wait, what's going on?"

At this moment, Cecil finally realized what had happened. Guangbao looked somewhat disheveled, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle—it seemed her "fate-based legendary civil war" with Eve was quite intense. She turned her head to look at the spatial rift she had emerged from, recalling what she had seen in that brief moment, and raised an eyebrow, then held up a hand to ask:

"Can someone explain to me what happened?"

Anne glanced at her, pointed at her, then at herself, then at Amber, and casually said:

"You, me, her, we're here to save the Duke team, understand?"

"understood!"

Guangbao nodded in satisfaction. She liked hearing simple and clear instructions, which allowed her to fight without having to think and still have a good time.

But soon, Cecil asked with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, do you two know this?"

Anne and Amber looked at her at the same time and asked almost simultaneously:

"Know what?"

“The City Lord’s Mansion has suddenly been invaded by a large number of alternate dimensions.” Cecil held up a finger. Only then did Annie notice that there was some blue liquid that looked like blood on her body. If this liquid was indeed blood, it was definitely not Eve’s blood—this proved that Cecil had just been fighting not only Eve, “just like the ‘apocalypse’ that happened in the floating city in a parallel world.”

Anne stared at her blankly, then her brows slowly furrowed.

Is the end of the world coming?

……

But the apocalypse ended at the city lord's mansion.

"What exactly are you plotting, Fei, Zilvini?" Ida's voice suddenly appeared in Fei's mind within the city lord's mansion. Judging from the tone of this voice, Ida was clearly in a bad mood: "What exactly are you and Carol plotting? Why is the apocalypse limited to the city lord's mansion?"

“This was designed by Carol. She said that in order to control the harm, this was the only way.” Tservini stopped Fei, who was rolling up her sleeves and preparing to fight her way to Ida. She put on a smile and used her mental ability to say in her mind, “‘It’s better for the city lord’s mansion to be destroyed than for the floating city to be destroyed,’ that’s what Carol said.”

"Doesn't she know that the core compartment of the floating city is right below the city lord's mansion?" Ida's thoughts were filled with "I don't understand." She asked irritably, "If the core compartment where No. 5497 is located is destroyed by an interdimensional invasion, won't this floating city also be destroyed? What's the difference?"

"Isn't it you who's in the core compartment?"

"Pah! So that's what she was planning!"

Ida gritted her teeth and cursed as she ended the telepathic conversation, while Fei and Tservini in the city lord's office exchanged a glance. They both knew their old rival well—although she and Fei disliked each other, they would still cooperate on matters of principle like this… With the mute guarding the core cabin, there was nothing to worry about there.

"Apart from that, you'll need to handle things, Fei."

"I know."

The Witch of Miracles nodded noncommittally. Before she finished speaking, she casually grabbed a pen from the desk and tossed it outwards—guided by a miracle, the pen tip precisely struck the vital point of an alien creature that had just invaded the city lord's mansion.

"I will not allow the alien invasion to spread beyond the city lord's mansion before it does."

……

Duke hummed the song of destiny softly.

And the fate of the mini-planet is also responding to Duke.

Chapter 486 Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror Tells Me

Duke hummed the song of destiny softly.

And the fate of the mini-planet is also responding to Duke.

"Give up. You don't really think you can beat me just because you've only just learned the Legendary Destiny skill, do you?"

Carol's voice rang in his ears, but Duke had no idea when she had said it. Duke and the world he was in had long been in a bizarre state of time distortion, and Duke's timeline was completely different from that of other people and things.

It is precisely because of this strange time difference that, although the fate of the mini-planet is responding to Duke's song of destiny, there is always a delay, which greatly diminishes the legendary destiny that Duke has finally grasped and makes it difficult to show a truly useful effect.

But this doesn't mean Duke dares to stop humming the Song of Destiny—if he stops, Duke will probably be defeated immediately. In this bizarre time distortion, Duke's eyes, ears, and even physical senses are unreliable. These things will be deceived by Carol's time abilities. The only things that won't be deceived are his Song of Destiny and his perspective on destiny... or rather, Carol in Duke's perspective on destiny.

Her fate, in this chaotic darkness, was as clear as the bright moon.

Only through sheer luck could Duke barely withstand Carol's attacks, but...

"How long are you going to hold back?" Duke jumped back a step, dodging Carol's attack five seconds from now. Then, while dealing with the trap Carol had set for his retreat ten minutes earlier, he defiantly provoked, "Didn't you want to kill me? Why haven't you made your move yet? You're not going to give in, are you?"

Shh, I can't hear you no matter what you say.

Carol's voice rang out again at some unknown time, and the Carols of the next ten seconds and the past ten seconds appeared in front of Duke at the same time, but each stayed in the left and right directions respectively. Both Carols were real in front of Duke, but Duke knew that no matter which Carol he attacked, he would ultimately fail.

Duke rolled his eyes.

In this battle, Carol's killing intent was practically nonexistent, and he not only lacked the will to kill but also the ability to inflict any substantial harm on her. Although Carol had jokingly said something like, "You want to know how I'm going to kill you, don't you?", she definitely didn't intend to kill Duke—in Duke's view, her goal had always been clear: to help him reach a certain level and accomplish a certain task.

Duke had initially thought that "a certain realm" referred to mastering the destiny of a legend and becoming a true legend, while "doing a certain thing" meant helping her sever the bond between the floating city and the apocalypse at the level of fate. But now it seemed that the former realm did not even meet Carol's requirements, and the latter... Duke could not do it.

Indeed, after mastering the Song of Destiny and rescuing Amber, Duke immediately tried to sever the fate binding the floating city to the apocalypse, but he quickly realized that he simply couldn't do it.

The floating city was built on the foundation of this apocalyptic fate. The invasion of other dimensions is even the very basis of the floating city's existence. If these other dimensions are dismantled, the floating city will probably collapse!

Cutting apart the fate that binds these two together would be tantamount to destroying the floating city!

Duke has already destroyed the floating city once in a parallel world, and he doesn't want to do it again.

"It seems my thinking was wrong from the start. No matter how much I improve, I can't break the strong bond between the floating city and the apocalypse." Duke muttered to himself while dodging Carol's insincere attacks. "This makes sense now. I suspect that the 'me' before the amnesia knew that I was the main body of the Star Chart System. That 'me' was stronger than the current me, but the path was wrong, so I had to delete my memories and start over with a new account."

"The final product was me, a new character that was reset and rebuilt."

Duke didn't react much to this speculation. For him now, nothing he did before his amnesia would surprise him—even if Carol suddenly said that he slept with her before his amnesia, Duke wouldn't be surprised at all, and might even give Carol a thumbs up and say "thank you for the treat."

He frowned, wanting to think quietly for a while about what he was missing, but Carol, who always acted as the riddle-maker and refused to reveal everything, kept interrupting his train of thought, making it impossible for him to think!

Such incidents occurred repeatedly, which angered Duke, who initially had little animosity towards them.

"Hey! You really want to play? I'll play with you for a bit!"

After saying that, Duke took an item out of his inventory.

It was a bronze mirror.

Duke gazed at the bronze mirror and said softly:

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me where Carol is."

Another possibility for Carol appeared on the mirror of the mirror image of the man in the mirror. Carol on the mirror image stood behind Duke, making a gesture of throwing a punch forward—this was clearly not the current Carol, but Carol from another possibility.

But Duke stared intently at Carol in the mirror, calculating everything he saw through the lens of fate, and then softly hummed the Song of Destiny.

Fate is reconstructed in reality, accompanied by a faint melody.

"what are you up to?"

A hint of panic crept into Carol's voice. Although she questioned Duke about his intentions, she already knew what he was planning!

He dragged Carol's alternate fate from the Magic Mirror into the real world, then reconstructed this fate in the real world, thereby changing Carol's destiny.

Duke, through the chaos of time, precisely grasped Carol's fate and pulled her out of the bewildering and bizarre world.

As fate would have it, Carol appeared behind Duke and "obediently" threw a punch.

Duke had "anticipated" the punch, which he easily dodged. He then grabbed Carol's wrist and quickly closed the distance between them.

The two reached a distance where they could feel each other's breathing.

Duke stared at Carol, who was so close to him, so close he could even see her eyelashes. Carol was also staring at Duke, her gaze fixed on his eyes and lips. A certain impulse welled up within her, a desire to… But in that instant, Carol snapped back to reality. She reached out with her other hand, which Duke wasn't holding, and forcefully pushed him away. Then, through gritted teeth, she cursed:

"rogue!"

After leaving those words, Carol vanished from Duke's sight in an instant.

Duke glanced strangely in the direction Carol had disappeared, then rubbed his temples and said with a headache:

"Okay, I think I understand now."

Amnesia was Duke's own choice.

The reason is simple: if amnesia is not chosen, then this "surgery" targeting the floating city and the star map system would never have been able to proceed from the beginning.

A healer cannot heal himself, so how could Duke, as the star map system, manipulate the star map system itself? Even if he cleverly chose to "imitate the star map system," it would be extremely difficult. Therefore, amnesia is an inevitable option.

Through this amnesia, Duke is able to sever himself from the star chart system, a severance that not only exists in terms of memory but also directly affects his destiny.

Even now that Duke has learned the truth, this rift won't heal anytime soon—after all, knowing the truth and accepting the truth are not the same thing. Even if Duke learns from Carol that he is the original "Star Chart System," he still needs time to accept it.

Just like this miniature planet, its fate, severed by Duke's own hand, requires a slow recovery process.

What he had to do was to complete this "surgery" before his fate was completely restored.

"The first step is to extract the fate of the 'replica star map system'."

Duke closed his eyes, and he wasn't seriously humming the Song of Destiny, but the melody of the Song of Destiny faintly echoed around him.

As more and more truths are revealed, and as the Star Chart System transforms into the Savior System according to his thoughts, his control over the Song of Destiny also grows stronger and stronger... as if he is gradually transforming the power of the Star Chart System into his own legendary destiny.

To be honest, Duke couldn't understand what the Star Chart System was, but in his view, it was something more advanced than the Legendary Destiny. Gradually converting the Star Chart System into the Legendary Destiny might be a downgrade, but it was more in line with the needs of this "surgery".

"As expected of me, you are truly a master strategist! Nothing escapes my calculations!"
