A journey into an infinite dimension

"You guys..."

Looking at the two of them like this, Kaguya couldn't help but sigh, and the hands that were pinching their noses also loosened.

But this doesn't mean that she will let them go just like that. No matter what, if she doesn't teach them a lesson today, who knows if they will just start a close combat next time.

"Let's talk about the next thing when we get home. I'll help you deal with Shizhi's affairs."

Considering that the current position was not suitable for preaching, Kaguya spoke to the two of them.

Then she raised her hand and snapped her fingers. In an instant, it was as if time had gone back. The Tianyang Square, which had a big hole blasted out by Shizhi, was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye. The people inside who were stunned by the aftermath of the energy continued with what they were doing as if nothing had happened. Those who had noticed the sound of the battle within a radius of several kilometers also forgot about it and continued to live their daily lives as usual.

All related traces disappeared from the world with Kaguya's casual move, without leaving any trace.

At this moment, the scenery around the three of them was replaced by a living room.

Chapter 209 Title: Make Everyone Regret for the Rest of Their Life!

"Do you know you're wrong?"

In the living room of Kaguya's house, Kaguya, who no longer maintained the appearance of 'Kaguya' but had returned to her original appearance, looked at Shiori and Caihuo who were sitting upright on the single sofas on both sides, and asked lightly.

"Jiaye, you're also at fault. You clearly said you were hiding your identity and operating in secret, but this guy knows your true identity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Huo, who had been lectured for who knows how long, immediately protested indignantly.

This guy Jia Ye was the one who lied first, yet he still had the nerve to scold me!

"I discovered it on my own. But you, you said you wanted Jiaye to go with you, but you ended up leaving him alone for so long."

Upon hearing this, before Jiaye could speak, Shizhi sneered at Caihuo with disdain.

"You are so irresponsible. It would be better to let Jiaye stay by my side."

Am I your pet?

Looking at the two people arguing, Jia Ye couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

"You're only harming Jiaye by letting him stay with you. After all, you're just an indecisive coward. Rather than letting Jiaye have to take care of you all the time, it's better to give him freedom."

As if he had heard something funny, Cai Huo couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile softly, the curve of his mouth full of mockery and contempt.

"Don't you have anything else to say besides this? You're really becoming more and more useless as time goes by."

Shizhi clenched his fists quietly and said with a forced smile.

"You can only use this sentence to mock me, so youth means innocence."

Veins bulged on his forehead, Cai Huo narrowed his eyes slightly, and retorted with a smile without a trace of smile in his eyes.

"....Um?"

Listening to the two people bickering with each other, Jia Ye suddenly realized that something was wrong and spoke up to stop them from arguing any further.

"Wait, Shiori, why are you talking like Cai Huo has lived for a long time?"

Although Cai Huo, who has experienced countless parallel worlds, can indeed be said to have lived for a long time, her appearance is undoubtedly that of a young girl. How could Shizhi use this sentence to mock her?

"I'm just guessing. After all, he's a loser who came from another parallel world. He should live longer than me."

Shizhi leaned back gently on the sofa, the expression on her face unable to tell what kind of emotion she was holding at the moment.

"As for how she guessed it, when she used the point-unification technique, all the doubts that had been raised so far were resolved. Only this answer can solve all the mysteries."

"Although it's hard to believe, I really didn't expect that the guy who I thought was going to snatch Jiaye from me would actually be me."

Only in this way can it explain Cai Huo's obsession with Jia Ye, his reasons for wanting to take Jia Ye away from her, and his hostility towards her.

At the same time, Origami once told her that when she first met Caihuo, she seemed to vaguely see a trace of her shadow in Caihuo.

Although it was only a very thin trace, it was something that had never happened to anyone else.

Coupled with her inexplicable aversion to Cai Huo, in the end, this was the only guess Shiori came up with.

Now looking at Jia Ye's reaction, it seems that she guessed right.

"You're so useless! You only guessed it now. Jiaye guessed it a long time ago."

The smile on his lips was not without malice. Cai Huo supported his cheek with one hand and looked directly at Shizhi with a condescending attitude, his eyes full of undisguised disgust and disdain.

————That’s right, Caihuo is indeed Shiori’s isotope in different time and space, that is, Shiori who lives in another parallel time and space.

It is because of this that she has such a strong obsession with Jiaye; it is also because of this that she hates Shiori so much.

What everyone hates most deep down in their heart is not other people, but themselves.

My current self, my past self, and myself at a certain period of time.

Because I made many so-called "youthful mistakes" in the past, and because what I did in the past cannot be undone.

People can accept the shortcomings of others but cannot tolerate their own mistakes, because everyone subconsciously wants to be perfect, so any stains on themselves will be rejected by themselves.

And between Shiori and Aikawa, this problem is even more magnified.

In a sense, Caihui can be said to be Shizhi of the future, and Shizhi is Caihui's past, so the two will inevitably repel and hate each other——

'Why did I become this kind of person?'

'Why was I such a person before?'

Driven by this idea, the difficulty for two people to get along with each other is no less than accepting all their own shortcomings.

And Jiaye's existence played the role of "adding fuel to the fire".

For some reasons, Cai Huo lost 'Jia Ye' who belonged to her parallel time and space. Due to the special nature of Jia Ye, the number of his isotopes in different time and space is almost infinitely close to zero compared to the huge base of the parallel world, which is the so-called 'rare animal'.

Cai Huo traveled across countless worlds before he found the current Jia Ye, but Jia Ye had Shi Zhi by his side, and Shi Zhi's feelings for Jia Ye were the same as Cai Huo's feelings for Jia Ye. Therefore, one side wanted to snatch the person away, and the other side could not let the person go. In addition, they hated each other. In this situation, once the two fought, if there was no external interference, it would definitely be a fight to the death.

"No wonder he has no hostility towards you. However, you are treated this way thanks to me, so there is no need for you to kneel down. Just commit suicide."

Hostility began to gather in his eyes, and Shizhi sneered.

"Watch your words. According to the time difference, I was with Jiaye earlier than you."

Slowly sitting up straight, Caihuo looked at Shizhi coldly and said.

"Really? Then what about your Jiaye? If you can't even protect him, what good will it matter if you spend more time with him?"

With a sneer, Shizhi sneered.

She knew her own personality. If it were her, and Jia Ye was still by her side, then even if a 'Jia Ye' from another world appeared, she would never care about the other person at all, even if she knew that that 'Jia Ye' and Jia Ye were the same person.

But if she lost Jiaye, and it was her own fault, then she might do whatever it takes to get Jiaye back.

Not for anything else, just because I want to make up for my mistakes; just because I like him.

"————What do you know?"

boom! !

An indescribable terrifying aura suddenly filled the entire living room, and a feeling of oppression as if carrying the weight of the entire universe descended on Jiaye and Shizhi's hearts. The invisible air wave swept across everything around them. Except for the sofa where the three of them were sitting, all objects and furnishings became messy under the destruction of the air wave, and the walls and the floor were filled with countless cracks.

For a moment, the entire living room seemed to have turned into a disaster scene after an earthquake.

The flames in his eyes bloomed to the extreme, as if he was a giant dragon whose reverse scale was touched. His petite body was bathed in the terrifying aura, and the shadow of the black gun gradually condensed in Cai Huo's hand.

"I understand you're useless."

Light and shadow flickered on his left hand, and he completely took on Caihuo's momentum without dodging or evading. Shizhi looked at Caihuo like this, and a hint of joy flashed quietly in his eyes.

After being suppressed for so long, I can finally let out a sigh of relief.

"you---"

"Calm down. If you start fighting, my house will be gone."

Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Jia Ye couldn't help but speak out helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Huo's aura suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the weapon manifestations of the two were forcibly suppressed, and the atmosphere in the living room returned to its original peace.

Except for the devastated scenery, everything remains unchanged.

""....snort!""

The emotions above were suppressed, and the two people regained their composure. They stared at each other for a long time before turning their heads away at the same time and not looking at each other.

Looking at this situation, Jiaye was left with nothing but a headache.

After the two met, would things really develop into this situation?

"Jiaye, where does your strength come from?"

Just when Jiaye didn't know what to say and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Caihuo, who had adjusted his mentality and didn't intend to argue with Shiori, spoke.

"As far as I know, there is no power stronger than mine. Similarly, I have never seen you use this power before."

Looking directly at Jiaye's eyes that were still flashing with colorful colors from time to time, Caihuo said seriously.

Originally, Jia Ye could not beat her, but through the scene just now, Cai Huo could see that Jia Ye's strength now surpassed her.

But if Jia Ye was stronger than her from the beginning, he would not have given in so easily before he recognized her identity.

This means that Jiaye only gained this power recently... The question is, where did he get it from?

Although the parallel worlds are different, they all lead to the same destination. Moreover, with her experience accumulated from traveling through almost all the parallel worlds, if there really is a power stronger than hers, then she would definitely not be unaware of it.

"Jia Ye, if I remember correctly, you said that your body was created with spiritual power, right?"

After the colorful disaster, Shiori, who had also calmed down, asked a question that she had been somewhat ignoring.

"But the connection between you and me is gone. Where does your spiritual power come from?"

The source of her spiritual power is to seal the elves and establish an invisible spiritual power line between herself and the elves, thereby absorbing most of the elves' power and storing it in her body.

Although she is not the master of these powers, she has the right to use them because the powers are in her body.

And because Jiaye is her other half, he also has the ability to use these powers through the connection between them.

However, after Jiaye left because of the color disaster, the connection between her and Jiaye disappeared. Logically speaking, Jiaye should no longer be able to continue to use the spiritual power in her body.

But why can he still maintain the use of his body?

【Gaya, follow me here. 】

Just as Jia Ye was about to say what he had prepared long ago, Ge Jiuye's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Because I can't give up on any of you, in order to be able to talk to you on an equal footing, I signed a contract with a certain being, using traces of my existence as a price in exchange for power that surpasses yours—???"

Out of trust in Ge Jiuye, what Jia Ye blurted out became a simultaneous repetition of Ge Jiuye's words.

However, the more he spoke, the more he felt something was wrong, but when he finally realized the problem, it was already too late.

""---What did you say?!!!""

[Ge Jiuye, you tricked me!!!]

Caihuo and Shiori's questions and Jiaye's angry cry sounded almost at the same time, accompanied by the laughter of the culprit and the exclamation of the ancient god.

【Well, just believe me. 】

"Contractor, are you trying to play the sympathy card? I feel like I understand you a little better."

I......

At this moment, Jia Ye only felt as if there were tens of thousands of alpacas galloping in his heart.

I want to curse someone, but I don’t know who to curse. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Chapter 210: Missing

"Jiaye, what exactly did you just say? Please explain clearly!!"

"Don't try to change the subject, just answer me honestly!"

In the living room, someone held down one of Jiaye's hands. At this moment, Shizhi and Caihuo didn't care at all that they were enemies who wanted to kill each other until just now, and they didn't care that the other person was within the killing range that could be killed with a single move. On the contrary, their actions to grab Jiaye were almost perfectly coordinated, leaving him no room for resistance at all.

However, they themselves did not seem to realize this, and just questioned Jiaye in unison.

Seeing this scene, Jia Ye suddenly understood Ge Jiuye's thoughts.

My moral integrity is lost again.

He sighed softly in his heart, but on the surface, Jia Ye did not show any abnormality.

"To put it simply, I paid a price and gained a stronger power than you."
