The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

As Maya Yotsuba's fiancé, Nanakusa Hiroichi no longer cared about his own safety and immediately ran towards the black car where the Yotsuba sisters were.

Luo Shu noticed this fearless young man at the first moment. Looking at the direction he was charging, he immediately guessed his identity.

"Finally, you've made your appearance, Nanakusa Koichi. However, now that you've appeared, the unexpected event that led to Yotsuba Maya's abduction should also have occurred."

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, the heavy armed helicopter that was hovering in the sky opened fire.

"Rumble..."

The roar of the heavy machine guns, accompanied by terrifying gunfire, quickly enveloped the area around the Yotsuba sisters.

The young and inexperienced Nanakusa Hiroichi was hit in the right eye by a stray bullet from somewhere, and was blown away by the blast and fell to the side.

He stared at the smoke-filled area with bloodshot eyes. Under the cover of fire from heavy armed helicopters above their heads, the soldiers in black alloy armor swallowed up the glow emitted by the meteor shower bit by bit.

However, the intense dizziness and severe tinnitus prevented Nanakusa Hirokazu from even roaring out loud.

When Luo Shu saw this scene, he realized that he could not wait any longer.

He decisively activated the teleportation anchor point on one of the teleportation plaques on the two sisters, and suddenly appeared next to the four-leaf sisters who were in desperate situation like a deus ex machina.

The black alloy armored warriors around were startled by Luo Shu, who was shrouded in black mist.

Unfortunately, before they could react, Luo Shu activated the smoke screen technique to cover his entire body, then grabbed the hands of the four-leaf sisters with both hands. Under the cover of the black smoke screen created by [Smoke Screen Technique (D)], he disappeared in the encirclement of the black alloy armored warriors in a moment.

The leader of this group of black alloy armored warriors was stunned when he saw this scene. After realizing what was happening, he immediately reported this emergency.

"Command, this is the Third Special Operations Team. The target has disappeared."

"Wuliang, you said the target disappeared?"

"Yes, a magician covered in black smoke suddenly appeared and used some kind of space magic to take the target and her sister away."

"Since the operation has failed, let's retreat."

"clear."

After receiving the reply, the black alloy armored warrior quickly gave up the continued pressure on the Fuso delegation and quickly evacuated the scene under the cover of aerial fire from heavy armed helicopters.

The Fuso delegation that survived the disaster found that the attackers had retreated, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.

When someone found Nanakusa Hiroichi, they only heard him exclaim before he passed out, "I saw Maya and the others being taken away."

After leaving these words as a reminder, he could no longer hold on and fainted.

While Kunlun Fangyuan under the Daya United issued a retreat order and the Fuso delegation fell into wailing and grief, Luo Shu brought the Four Leaf Sisters back to his own Sky Island world.

"Luo Shu Ni San?"

Yotsuba reacted immediately, "Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me." Luo Shu put his head on the other's little head and rubbed it. "Sorry, I seem to be late this time."

"You're really back?" Yotsuba Maya seemed to have found a supporter, tears welling up in her eyes. "Just now I thought I was dreaming."

Hearing this, Luo Shu simply reached out and touched Yotsuba Maya's little head, then gave her a gentle smile, "Maya is not dreaming."

"Yeah." Yotsuba Maya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes awkwardly, then took a small step back calmly, preventing Luo Shu from stroking her head, and abruptly changed the subject, "Luo Shu Nissan, where is this place?"

Luo Shu noticed her small action of taking half a step back, and immediately understood that the old man, Yotsuba Genzo, probably chose to let Yotsuba Maya and Nanakusa Koichi get engaged early, just like in the original work.

However, with the sudden attack this time, I'm afraid the marriage between the Yotsuba family and the Nanakusa family will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Luo Shu naturally didn't care about Yotsuba Maya's small action of increasing the distance between them. He still had a kind and warm smile on his face and said in a gentle tone,

"This is my world."

"Nissan's world?" Siye's eyes widened upon hearing this. She looked around and said with a skeptical tone, "But, to me, this place looks like a deserted island in the middle of the sea."

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but that circle of blue water around you isn't real."

As Luo Shu spoke, he removed the azure ocean camouflage applied to the outer edge of the Sky Island world, revealing a bottomless, dreamlike void filled with bizarre light. "See? The edge of my world is an endless, chaotic void."

"It was an incredible sight."

Yotsuba Maya screamed subconsciously, and then noticed Luo Shu's playful gaze. She quickly covered her mouth embarrassedly, her little head drooped slightly, and her face flushed.

It can be said that Yotsuba Maya's performance in her loli period perfectly interprets the word cute.

"Nisan, is this really your world?"

Yotsuba Shinya was equally shocked, but she quickly composed herself. Then, looking at Luo Shu, who was several heads taller than her and seemed much older, she asked a question, "But we haven't seen each other for only two years. How come Nissan has grown so tall and become so mature?"

"Yes, if father hadn't given us the rune plaque, my sister and I wouldn't have been sure that Nissan had really returned."

Luo Shu pretended to be helpless and sighed.

"Why have I changed so much in the past two years? If I really want to explain it, it would be a long story. Now I'd better take you back to the Simon Wright Hotel and report to the head of the Four Leaf family that I'm safe."

Luo Shu did not forget the difference in the speed of time flow between the Sky Island World and the Demonic World.

Now that we have successfully intercepted the enemy, we can start laying out subsequent plans in the evil world.

Thinking of this, he didn't wait for the four-leaf sisters to react, but grabbed their hands and stepped across the time and space node corresponding to the teleportation vortex again, returning to the demonic world.

At this time, three days had passed since the disappearance of the Yotsuba sisters in the Demonic World.

Chapter 8: Yotsuba Maya cannot become an Avenger

Luo Shu brought the four-leaf sisters back to the demonic world. He checked the World Tree terminal immediately and found that three days had passed.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't let the Yotsuba sisters stay in the Sky Island World for too long.

After all, at this time Luo Shu had not yet performed the time flow convergence operation on the difference in time flow speed between the Sky Island World and the Demonic World.

At this time, one hour has passed in the Sky Island world, but it is still equivalent to one year in the Demonic World.

However, bringing the Four Leaf Sisters back to the Sky Island world this time also gave Luo Shu a fairly intuitive understanding of the importance of time flow convergence.

However, Luo Shu did not expect that he accidentally caused Yotsuba Maya to disappear for "three days" just like in the original work.

Of course, this time, because of Luo Shu's sudden intervention, she and her sister disappeared for "three days".

Is this three days just a coincidence?

Or is it the so-called inertia of the original plot of the novel that is at work?

Luo Shu looked at the time on the World Tree terminal and couldn't help but feel alert.

I still can't underestimate the demonic world. After all, it is an independent world.

The mysterious figures in the demonic world are not something he can currently compare to.

Well, it's better to proceed with caution.

先看看魔劣世界2062年7月8日到7月11日这三天时间的新闻报道吧。

"Luo Shu Ni San?"

Late at night, Yotsuba only felt a flash before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that the scene around her had changed again. Moreover, the sky at this time was completely different from the cloudless daytime in the Sky Island world. The bright moon hung high above her head, and the stars were shining brightly.

"Why is it night time all of a sudden?"

"Didn't I say I would take you back to the Simon Wright Hotel to let them know I was safe?"

When Luo Shu heard Siye's voice late at night, he quickly collected his scattered thoughts and turned his gaze back to her delicate face. "You are now on the rooftop balcony of the Simon Wright Hotel."

"How is it possible..." Yotsuba Maya subconsciously didn't believe Luo Shu's words. She took out her cell phone and checked the time. She found that it was already the 11th. "Luo Shu Nissan, what's wrong with this date?"

"I brought you to my world before, but there's a huge difference in the speed of time between my world and yours."

Luo Shu was worried that the 12-year-old Siye sisters wouldn't understand what he was saying, so he gathered his thoughts and said, "There's an old Chinese saying: 'One day in heaven is equal to one year on earth.'"

"Luo Shunisan, what you're saying is that my sister and I only spent less than three minutes in your world, but three days have already passed in our world?"

Siye quickly understood Luo Shu's explanation. She couldn't help but think about how Luo Shu had only been gone for two years, yet his age, height, and body shape had grown at a rate far beyond what a normal person could achieve in two years.

"So, we think Nissan has been gone for two years, but in fact, Nissan may have spent more than two years in another world?"

"You understand very quickly." Luo Shu didn't expect that Siye would automatically come up with an explanation for the huge changes he had undergone in the two years since he left so quickly. He reached out and gently touched her head.

Siye Shenye did not reject Luo Shu's intimate behavior, because in her memory, this mysterious brother liked to touch her and her sister's head when they were young.

The reason why Siye's intimate behavior towards Luo Shu late at night was not surprising was mainly because Luo Shu had previously implanted information and transformed memories through [World Invasion], which gave the Siye sisters an additional "non-existent memory" of their childhood life together with him.

These "non-existent memories" do not conflict with their original memories in the demonic world, but the human brain is the most sophisticated organ in the human body. The large amount of memories that appear out of thin air will always occupy more brain capacity, which will make the Yotsuba sisters feel that there is some disharmony in their memories from time to time.

This is also the reason why Siye was so surprised when she recognized Luo Shu at a glance late at night and found that he had changed so much in the past two years.

"Luo Shuni-san, did you go to another world in the past two years?"

Yotsuba Maya naturally understood Luo Shu's explanation about the different speeds of time flow in different worlds, and she was even more keenly aware that Luo Shu could not have stayed in her desolate world that was like an isolated island during the two years he was away.

Yotsuba Maya understood that Luo Shu explained the difference in the speed of time flow between his world and her own world.

She understood that if Luo Shu stayed in her own world, then the two years for her might only be a few days or even dozens of days for Luo Shu in his own world.

It is impossible for the little boy who was only about 1.4 meters taller than himself and his sister two years ago to grow to his current exaggerated height of over 1.8 meters in just a few days or dozens of days.

Unless Luo Shu suffers from gigantism, a condition that is extremely rare even for humans.

However, when Yotsuba Maya looked at Luo Shu's strong physique, he exuded a powerful aura like an exquisite handsome statue from ancient Rome, and he had nothing to do with being a patient at all.

"Well, I'm sorry." When Luo Shu heard Yotsuba Maya ask this, he understood that she had already believed that his absence for two years might have caused a huge change in his height, figure and temperament, so he showed a hint of guilt on his face.

"Because it was me who stopped the Cloverleaf Patriarch from telling you that when I said I would be away for two years to travel, I meant leaving your world for two years to solve some problems in other worlds."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba Maya suddenly felt that she had a lot of grievances and had nowhere to vent them.

She almost confessed to Luo Shu that she had been forced by the Yotsuba family to get engaged to Nanakusa in the past two years.

However, seeing her sister enjoying Luo Shu's touch with a happy face, she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

As the elder sister, she ultimately chose to swallow the bitterness of being used as a bargaining chip in her family's political connections alone.

It's because Yotsuba Maya knows very well that as the second daughter of the Yotsuba family, she cannot refuse the marriage between the Yotsuba family and the Nanakusa family. The Yotsuba family will never choose to let their sister, the future heir of the Yotsuba family, become a bargaining chip in a political marriage.

If she could sacrifice herself to fulfill her sister's wish, Yotsuba Maya would not feel wronged. After all, this was the idea she had been instilled with since childhood.

At this time, Yotsuba Maya avoided the tragic three days of the original story of Mahou Shoujo because of Luo Shu, and her memory was not converted into "information" because of her sister's mental interference late at night.

Simply put, Yotsuba Maya's emotions at this time were still intact, and she had not yet become the Avenger who, in order to avenge the unfair fate of the world, instigated her sister to conduct illegal human experiments on her own flesh and blood, Tatsuya Shiba.

It can be said that at this time, because of Luo Shu's action of changing her fate, Yotsuba Maya has lost the possibility of becoming an Avenger in the future.

Luo Shu naturally noticed that Yotsuba Maya was hesitant to speak. After a little thought, he understood that this little girl must be worried that he would find out about her engagement with Nanakusa Koichi.

It seems that because of the information about their childhood sweetheart relationship that I implanted through [World Invasion], Yotsuba Maya does not seem to be able to be engaged to Nanakusa Koichi in name only as in the original work.

Luo Shu speculated that the current Yotsuba Maya should have just tacitly accepted the engagement arranged by the Yotsuba family with the Nanakusa family, but she may not have an actual emotional foundation with Nanakusa Koichi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had taken action in time shortly after waiting for Nanakusa Hiroichi to appear, thus preventing Yotsuba Maya from discovering Nanakusa Hiroichi's unswerving actions for her when she was in danger.

Well, there's something interesting to watch next.

Yotsuba Genzo, are you ready to take the blame, old man?

Yotsuba Maya found that Luo Shu's eyes looking at her were full of sadness that made her heart ache. She only felt a sharp pain in her heart. She subconsciously turned her head away and dared not look at him. She just changed the subject abruptly.

"Luo Shunisan, we've been gone for three days. Now we should hurry and tell the head of the family that we're safe."

"Wait, Maya, before we go see the Yotsuba clan leader, I have something I want to ask you and Shinya."

Luo Shu suddenly stopped Yotsuba Maya who was about to leave the top floor. He waited until both sisters were looking at him before he slowly asked a question that was quite fatal to Yotsuba Genzo.

"Actually, I met with Patriarch Yotsuba at the Simon Wright Hotel just over ten minutes before you left. But why didn't I see Patriarch Yotsuba when the convoy was attacked?"

Chapter 9: Yotsuba makes a decision late at night

Hearing Luo Shu's question, the Yotsuba sisters were stunned.

"Didn't you notice that Yotsuba Genzo wasn't in the convoy at the time?"

Luo Shu was a little surprised when he saw their reactions. "That shouldn't be the case. As the important representative of the Fuso delegation attending this exchange meeting, why isn't the head of the Yotsuba family in the convoy?"

"No, before leaving, the head of the family suddenly went against everyone's advice and split the delegation's convoy into two. He personally led the other convoy and chose the original route. The convoy my sister and I were in actually took the new route that was temporarily changed."

Late at night, Yotsuba hurriedly explained to Yotsuba Genzo the arrangements made before his departure three days ago.

Luo Shu was stunned when he heard Siye's late-night explanation. After a moment's thought, he raised his own question: "So, the Siye Patriarch is hoping to use himself as bait to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, thereby ensuring the safe arrival of your convoy at the meeting?"

After all, the actions of the old man, Yotsuba Genzo, proved that after hearing the warning he had given three days ago, he still made a temporary response just in case.

Well, the problem is coming.
