Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

"Sisters! It's our turn to make a move!"

At Lisa's command, the other dancers also changed their demeanor, drawing their weapons. These were the props they usually used during their performances, but connoisseurs would immediately recognize them as exquisitely crafted assassination weapons. Many were curious about their next move. What were they planning to do with these props? Were they going to dance to appease these monsters?

"Kill them."

This sentence was incredibly short and incredibly cold; at that moment, Lisa seemed like a heartless killer. Then, the dancers, with lightning speed, killed everyone around them. This sudden attack left Dangur and his group completely bewildered.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

"fuckn————————"

"Pfft-"

"What are you women doing?!"

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!!!! Ahh ...

"You're asking for it—!!"

Chaotic fighting, splattered blood, painful screams, and furious roars mingled together. Dangur could no longer comprehend what was happening; he only knew he needed to quickly hide behind his private soldiers, because the ethereal, brown "Grim Reaper" was approaching step by step, radiating boundless killing intent.

"You lot! Quick! Come here now!! Protect me!!" Dangur shouted in terror, "You stinking bear! You gloomy man! Get your ass over here!!!"

"You don't need them anymore."

"babble---!"

The whisper of death reached his ears. The warm breath sent a chill down Dangur's spine. Death Lisa had unknowingly moved closer to his back, and all his private soldiers were coughing up blood and bleeding from their chests, dying on the spot. No one witnessed the whole process.

Dangur then looked towards Brother Bear and the cloaked, masked man. The two were being entangled by the other dancers and were clearly at a disadvantage, both bearing wounds of varying degrees and sweating profusely. In contrast, the dancers who were attacking them seemed relaxed and carefree, toying with their opponents as if they were powerful beasts playing with their prey.

"Na..."

Death's warm tongue brushed gently against my ear.

"Lord Dangur... do you still think we are useless?"

"Eek! Let go! Let go of me! Don't touch me! Get away from me!!!"

Dangur was so terrified by what he saw that he was completely paralyzed, unable to move an inch. Warm, yellow liquid dripped down his trousers and onto the ground, but Lisa showed no sign of letting him off the hook, meticulously licking every inch of his body. She wore a blissful expression, savoring Dangur's taste.

“You don’t need anyone else anymore, do you?” Lisa gently stroked his cheek. “You’re so…slurp…so tempting~”

Kara —

Dangur could no longer answer, for his head had been severed by some unknown force, and everyone else had been killed. The elves ignored their infighting, simply following their instincts and vanquishing anything that stood in their way. The dancers gathered around Lisa, walked behind her, and then disappeared.

"Oh...it's so delicious...the taste of despair..."

Lisa carefully licked the remaining delicious taste from her fingertips, then casually walked out of the city. By this time, the thin veil she wore had turned white, and the headdress on her head had turned green...

Chapter 57 Unexpected Visitor

Click!

Miao used an ice arrow to knock away the briefcase that suddenly broke free of its restraints. The briefcase that took the hit was sent flying far away. At the same time, Rielfa's hair returned to its original cherry blossom color without her noticing. The briefcase landed precisely next to Rielfa. A strong light emanated from the briefcase and the person, and then they merged together, becoming the complete Time-Space Dragon King.

"I won't let you succeed—"

The person, whose identity was unclear—whether it was Li or Rielfa—uttered these words. The emblem that lit up behind them changed again, reverting to Li's spacetime emblem. What exactly happened during this time?

"Activate the power of time and space! Reverse time and space!"

Li raised her hand and activated her power. This was probably the first time she could remember truly using another part of her power—the combined control of time and space—targeting the magic crystal that had been brought here by unknown means. This time, Li also unleashed this power on the elves, its effects covering the entire kingdom.

"Won't you come?!"

The high elves had a strong, ominous premonition, and their bodies began to move involuntarily. However, by then, it was too late to stop Rin from controlling the entire spacetime.

The emblem of the Time-Space Dragon King was like a brand, imprinted on the territory of the new kingdom of Alyas—

"—Is that girl going all out right from the start!?"

In a pure white room, the goddess whom Li had just met not long ago clicked her tongue in amazement.

She is the goddess who created this entire world, the original and only goddess, the manager of everything, but in reality, as one might expect, she is a goddess who doesn't actually have much of a role. Her duty to this world is merely to maintain its operation.

In fact, even now, after the last period of time, she has not fully recovered. Her world is like a part of her body; what happens in that world is reflected in her to some extent, and her physical condition is reflected in that world in various ways. This is essentially the greatest interference she can exert in this world.

Intervening in the details would be quite difficult, and doing so would usually have a significant impact on that world, the nature of which she wasn't sure. In short, it was a very vague system, and even she herself hadn't yet gained control over that world. All she could do was try her best to prevent her anomalies from being reflected in that world.

However, some people just want to cause trouble. That hero, whose generation is unknown, figured out the exact number of times he was summoned and figured out the system of that world, starting to do some unpleasant things to it. Of course, since no one could stop this plan, it caused a huge change in that world, and the hero himself suffered very serious injuries as a result.

It's unbelievable. She's always been so careful about her health, trying to prevent anything bad from happening in that world, yet unexpectedly, they've started causing trouble for her. Fortunately, a familiar she somehow acquired from another world successfully resolved the crisis for her; honestly, she really thought she was going to die at that moment.

Come to think of it, why did she bring that person who was both a treasure chest monster and a dragon king into this world? She couldn't remember...

After the girl named Li saved her, she granted this girl the authority of a goddess, giving her the power to break through this world. During this time, she focused on recovering from her injuries, hoping to heal quickly and allow the other world to gradually improve. However, she never expected that the girl named Li's first use of the power to break through worlds would result in such a massive attack.

The spacetime manipulation was fully activated, covering a vast area and controlling the reversal of time and space—an intervention of such magnitude that even she had never undertaken before. Moreover, this level of intervention was practically a distortion of the world's laws, requiring power far beyond her comprehension. She couldn't even imagine what power the girl would use to support this change.

"I'll have to talk to her and explain things to her later..."

The goddess considered whether she should go and explain to the girl everything about this world, and what the girl could and could not do.

"Haha...haha...haha..."

In Li's eyes, the whole world had frozen, everything had turned a static gray-white, and in this quiet, cold world, only she could now move freely...

In this state, everything is absolutely still—simply put, an invincible state. Therefore, even if she wanted to use this opportunity to attack others, it would be impractical. Unleashing her full power wasn't for that; she only had one thing on her mind…

"Please...you must change back..."

Relfa did appear for a moment just now. The person who used the body of the Dragon King was Relfa. According to her, strictly speaking, she is not Relfa. It was just a part of Relfa in the past, a power called the Power of Time.

Because the power of time is also part of Rielfa's, when the spatial power belonging to Reason was separated from this body, the portion of the power of time that remained in the body of the Dragon King Reason revealed itself. This power, which had accompanied Rielfa for thousands of years, also bore some characteristics of its owner; therefore, in the eyes of others, it was Rielfa.

The power controlling the Dragon King's body revealed a glimpse of the power of time, bringing back the forcibly separated reason. After the two returned to normal, the power became part of reason again. Having witnessed the power of time, reason resolved to use it to reverse this desperate situation. She no longer cared about the extent of its impact or the harm it might cause her.

She had to do this for their ideals while in the maze.

The two powers, which had been fully activated for the first time and expanded to such a large area, had their magic power, which they could never use up under normal circumstances, drained instantly. She was now barely maintaining this power, hoping to restore everything to its original state, but as she saw, it had not.

The dead, the demonized—none of them came back to life…

"……All right……"

Li's face betrayed her disappointment. This power wasn't strong enough to reverse the laws of life. She had hoped she could, but this was the reality. She had already prepared herself mentally; at least she was certain that this power couldn't interfere with the realm of life. And then…

The surrounding scenery is gradually receding, perhaps this is the rewind of time and space, and Ideal wants to know just how much she can achieve with all her might.

Under the shroud of the Time-Space Dragon King's emblem, everything was returning to its original state. The damaged city walls were gradually being restored, and the dilapidated city was returning to its original condition. Most gratifyingly, all the magic crystals were regressing to their original positions. Only after the magic crystals disappeared from Li's sight did she breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her control over her powers loosened.

The world regained its color, time began to flow again, and Rin returned to her original flow of time. Her dragon transformation ended, the two separated, and Rin collapsed weakly. Ning, whose time had returned to normal, immediately rushed to Rin's side, catching her as she nearly fell. At the same time, she noticed something unusual… the surrounding scenery was different.

In the blink of an eye, the world had undergone a complete transformation. The enormous magic crystals had vanished, the city walls had returned to their original, somewhat damaged state, while the city itself remained intact. Not only were those outside the city astonished, but Alice and her group, who were organizing the evacuation inside, were also deeply surprised.

"What happened...?" Alice stared blankly at the intact building in front of her. "Am I dreaming?"

You know, that building was smashed to pieces by the falling boulder, but in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal, and the magic crystal in the city disappeared, everything was as good as new... Not so... The elf was still wandering in the city, her clothes were still covered in blood, and there were many corpses and demonized monsters around her.

“Although I don’t know what happened…” Alice gathered her magic, “I still need to deal with the situation properly—”

“…Why bother?” the seven-colored girl sighed. “Why…why do you have to stop us?”

"Need I say more..." Li struggled to maintain her consciousness, "Our reasons don't need to be repeated a second time..."

"...Well then, I can only say to you all...I'm sorry..."

The seven-colored girl made a gesture, and the elves were ready to attack. It seemed that even the power of reason could not interfere with them. Since that was the case, the elves still had the upper hand. The situation was only slightly better than before. After all, the magic crystals were no longer here, the magic realm had disappeared, and the elves' magic supply had also disappeared.

The elves could easily breach the city walls in one fell swoop. By any measure, the cause of this change now seemed incapable of continuing the fight; this greatest threat to the elves was no longer relevant.

Did you cause this...?

Ning looked at Li in his arms, pondering what had happened in the previous second. This was definitely the first time Li had used her powers on such a large scale, so it was only natural that this would happen. However, these changes were no longer just spatial; they probably also included time. Had Li finally overcome this hurdle...?

Nevertheless, Ning still believed that there was no need for them to continue protecting the city, because they couldn't protect it. Even if they restored the surrounding environment to its former state, it would be meaningless, because the elves would simply repeat what they had done before, causing the scene from not long ago to reappear.

"Oh, I was just thinking, could it be that the kingdom is already finished?"

boom--------!

It was another magical bombardment… No, this wasn't a magical bombardment, because what spread across the sky weren't magical circles, but rather golden ripples, from which a massive amount of weaponry burst forth, bombarding the battlefield. Miraculously, all these weapons hit the elves, without a single miss, and along with them appeared many familiar figures.

"Demon King—"

Ning gazed at the arrogant figure floating in the sky and involuntarily uttered its name. Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, a black coat—the standard attire for a demon king, right? This guy, whose every move exuded rustic charm, was none other than the Demon King of the Demon Clan, the hero from another world—Xuanze.

"Well, anyway, my only target was that old bald guy anyway." Xuanze glossed over what he had just said. "More importantly, you guys need help right now, right? Well then, I'll mercifully lend you a hand!"

"No, no, no one said that."

"Don't be shy! Attack! Drive these elves away!!!"

"Still the same old thing, never listens to reason..."

Xuanze completely ignored Ning's complaints and led the demons into battle with high morale. The adventurers gathered here had all cooperated with the demons before, so they weren't particularly surprised. They immediately got into a cooperative state and, incidentally, informed those who didn't know about it, thus establishing a battle line.

"Brothers! The time to fight back has come!!!"

"Oh! Demons have come to help!! I feel much more at ease with you guys here!"

"Haha!! Humans! Don't hold us back!!!"

After the demons joined the battle, the tide of war turned instantly. After being bombarded by the Demon King, the elves' remaining fighting force was reduced to half, and with this little fighting power, they probably wouldn't be able to break through the city walls.

Demon King Xuanze leisurely landed beside the three sisters. The seven-colored girl frowned; she sensed an unusual aura emanating from Xuanze. This person was definitely not as simple as he seemed. The other five high-ranking elves were also very wary of him.

"Yo~" Xuanze greeted them arrogantly, "Who are you? Never mind, I can't remember the names of these NPCs anyway. That's fine. Do you have anything to say? You have three minutes."

"..." The seven-colored girl was silent for a moment. "Let's end it here for today. Since you insist... there's nothing we can do. But please remember, you must take responsibility for your choices—"

"Do you even need to tell me that?"

The list of divine weapons at Xuanze's waist shone brightly, a signal that he was preparing to attack.

The seven-colored girl said nothing more, turned away silently, and her figure gradually disappeared along with the other elves.

end

"Tch, that's fast."

Demon King Xuanze clicked his tongue in displeasure, withdrew his magic power, and the list of divine weapons that had been emitting a bright light returned to its original state.

The elves disappeared much faster than they had imagined; in the blink of an eye, the large number of elves vanished from their spot. Xuanze turned to look at the three sisters, revealing a smile that clearly displeased them.

"That's pathetic," Xuanze said sarcastically.

"Did you come here just to talk about this kind of thing?" Ning retorted.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be here either." Xuanze extended his hand. "Need any help?"

He glanced at Li, who was lying weakly in Ning's arms, and gestured to Ning with his eyes.

"I don't need you to do this." Ning snorted coldly and exerted force with both hands.

Ning easily picked up Li from her arms and carried her away in a princess carry. Xuanze's hand stopped in mid-air, but he didn't feel embarrassed and simply put it away.

“Let’s go,” Xiao walked to his side. “Um… Demon King? Shall we go back to the city together…?”

"Heh, let's go."

Xuanze followed the two into the city expressionlessly, with Xiao walking beside him with a smile on her face. He didn't know what the girl was thinking, so he glared at her.

However, no matter how this person tried to play the villain, he didn't come across as annoying. Xiao didn't fall for his tricks and her mood remained the same as before.

Xuanze knew very well that he couldn't do anything with this girl. If he accidentally offended the two women in front of him, that would be real trouble. So he simply ignored Xiao beside him for the time being.

At this moment, the pocket on the chest of his clothes swelled up, and a small head opened the pocket, revealing the little fairy inside.

"Xiao! Long time no see!"

Serena floated lightly onto Xiao's shoulder.

"Serena! It's you too! Long time no see!"

Xiao stretched out her fingers and touched Serena's small hand. The two smiled at each other and reminisced about the past.

They gradually approached the dilapidated walls of the new kingdom of Alyas and witnessed the devastation around them. The very situations that Alice had tried so hard to avoid were unfolding in large numbers.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Faced with such a disaster, the fighting strength that the new kingdom has left is not enough to stop it.

Wherever they went, there were human casualties all around, including volunteers, royal guards, adventurers, civilians, and a large number of people who had been turned into demons.

Currently, the demons are using their remaining forces within the kingdom to eliminate the remaining demons. The group temporarily went to look for Alice, and after inquiring with people along the way, they learned that she was currently in the central square of the royal city.

They marched towards the city center, the bodies being carried away bit by bit. All that Li was desperately trying to save was this city, but…
