Knight Asylum

"Let Mirror Knight and Kanzaki Shirou fight, and I'll deal with the time reset issue, but there's a huge problem here."

"How do you solve the problem of time resetting?"

"No, I can deal with Kanzaki Shirou's ability to reset time. The problem is that you, with your current strength, cannot defeat Kanzaki Shirou."

Tendou Souji exudes a strong sense of confidence.

There is no evidence, but Tezuka Umiyuki has a strong ability to reset time, and Tendou Souji is able to deal with Kanzaki Shirou's time-resetting ability, which neither he nor Reid can think of a solution to.

"Then Mr. Taiyang, is there any way to increase our current strength to a point where we have a chance of defeating Kanzaki Shirou?" Tezuka Umiyuki put his hands on his hips and let out a long breath.

"Please don't use the sun as a metaphor."

"..."

Tendo Souji turned his face away.

“That’s your job.”

Chapter 389 Infinite Time Travel

A heart-wrenching incident is often caused by a misunderstanding or a concealment.

After Tendo Souji left, Tezuka Umiyuki thought for a while and decided to discuss the matter with Red and others.

It was the familiar coffee shop, the familiar crowds of people, and this time there were also Tojo Go and Sano Mitsuru.

"That's roughly the situation—"

Sitting on the left was Shinji Shirodo, and on the right was Akiyama Ren's Tezuka Umiyuki, who was leaning forward with his fingers crossed and an extremely serious expression.

"Kanzaki Shirou is the discoverer of the Mirror World and the developer of the Knight Card Box. His strength as a Mirror Knight is absolutely beyond imagination. If we want to defeat him in the Mirror World, we must unite as one."

As he said this, Tezuka Umishita subconsciously glanced at Akiyama Ren, who was sitting with her legs crossed and her arms around her chest, with a blank expression on her face that looked like she was not someone you want to mess with.

Shinji Kido and himself are both people who know that time has been reset, as for Tojo Go and Sano Mitsuru, Red had also informed him before that Tojo Go himself discovered the possibility of changing the timeline through the mirror world, and Sano Mitsuru, as a helper, also knew about this situation.

But Akiyama Lian should not know about this.

Why didn't Akiyama Ren react at all when she heard that the time had been reset, or was it because... the shock was so great that she didn't know what expression to make?

"Shirou Kanzaki is really strong," said Reid, the only person at the scene who had fought with Shirou Kanzaki, in an extremely serious tone.

"But, Kanzaki Shirou is the Mirror Knight, right? His power comes from the Mirror Knight System, which is based on the rules of the mirror world and has a reverse influence on the mirror world—" As the person who knows the mirror world and the Mirror Knight System best on the scene, Tojo Go explained and looked at Reid.

"When he reset time, he also used the Advent Card, right?"

Reid thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, he did pull out some advent cards and read them."

Tojo Go glanced at the others, thought for a while, then took out his Knight Card Box from his pocket, took out an Advent Card and placed it on the table.

"As long as he follows the rules, there is a chance of defeating him. This is the Advent Card I developed. The specific effect is... it can freeze the Advent Card that is currently being activated."

"Is it that powerful?" Shirodo Shinji's eyes widened, "That means you can even use this card to stop Kanzaki Shirou from resetting time!?"

"If possible, I hope I can do it," Tojo lowered his head. "Theoretically, it is impossible. Freezing the Advent can stop the Advent Card that is currently being activated. There is no possibility of being caught behind by the time reset."

"Eh..." Shirodo Shinji shrank back with a look of regret on his face, but soon he sat up straight as if he remembered something, "Then why don't you just develop an Advent Card that doesn't allow Mirror Knight to use it!"

"This... I also want to develop such an advent card. This frozen advent is one of the results of the research. Or rather, it is an unexpected product. I can't even copy another one," Tojo Go scratched his face and lowered his head in a somewhat inferior manner.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you—"

"Ah - that's not what I meant!" Shinji Shiroto looked embarrassed.

"No, Tojo, your research results are our trump card," Reid also said, "Since Tiandao said that he can deal with time reset, then we only need to think about how to deal with Kanzaki Shirou in the mirror world."

"Yes, your Freeze Advent, if used at the right time, will be enough to open the way for us to victory," Tezuka Umi nodded.

"Ah...wait a minute," Shirodo Shinji blinked and opened his mouth as if he remembered something. He took out the Knight Card Box and pulled out an Advent Card from it. "I haven't used this card before, but this Advent Card can copy an Advent Card in another Mirror Knight Card Box."

Reid was stunned, and his eyes lit up. "That is to say, if we are lucky, we will have two Freeze Advents to restrict Kanzaki Shirou's actions."

"No, I don't need good luck," Tojo Go thought for a while and analyzed seriously, "As long as I can ensure that there is only Frozen Advent in my Knight Card Box at that time, then this randomly copied Advent Card will definitely be able to copy the Frozen Advent in my card box."

"That's right!" Shinji Shirodo's eyes lit up.

"Um..." Sano Mitsuru, who had been listening to the whole thing and felt he couldn't get a word in, raised his hand and complained weakly, "I think we'd better not be so optimistic. What if there are other Mirror Knights helping Kanzaki Shirou?"

"Mirror Knight, there are more than just a few of us. Let's not talk about the others. Asakura Isai is a real battle maniac, a psychopath. What if they come in when you are fighting Kanzaki Shirou?"

Everyone was silent.

Although they had never met Asakura Takeshi, nor had they witnessed how crazy Asakura Takeshi was, what Sano Mitsuru raised about being disturbed by other Mirror Knights during the battle with Kanzaki Shirou was indeed a problem that needed to be considered.

No matter how strong Red is, he has no way to support them in the mirror world. Not to mention the restrictions on activities in the mirror world, if they die in reality, as long as the body is intact enough, the Intelligent Brain Group can provide a resurrection surgery to back them up.

But if you die in the mirror world, you are really dead, and there is no chance of redemption.

If the Knight's card box is broken, he will die.

"Then... we have to take the issue of the mirror beast into consideration," Red thought of a new problem, "Kanzaki Shirou seems to be able to command the mirror beast."

"Eh...is this true? That's too much of a cheat," Shinji Shirodo couldn't help but complain.

"Ah - I can handle this," Sano Mitsuru blinked and raised his right hand, "My mirror beast can summon many mirror beasts of the same type, but..."

Perhaps because he felt that he had spoken too confidently, Sano Mitsuru shrank his neck.

"If Kanzaki Shirou calls all the mirror beasts here, I will be helpless."

"The best way... is to win over as many Mirror Knights as possible?" Red sighed, "If all the Mirror Knights help..."

"Hey - impossible, impossible, that crazy -"

Before Sano Man could finish his words, Reid covered his mouth.

Red knew who Sano Mitsuru was talking about.

……

Tiandaoist.

"Eh? Brother, are you going on a business trip?!" Tiandao Shuhua, who was holding the bowl, was surprised.

"I'll be away for a while, not too long. I might be back in a day, or maybe... a few days. If you have any trouble, you can call Reid," Tiandao Souji said softly when he saw that Tiandao Shuhua looked like she couldn't eat.

"Okay - goodbye, brother!" Tiandao Shuhua happily started eating again.

"..."

The corner of Tendō Souji's mouth twitched. He lowered his head and pushed the door open. The Insect Surpassing Instrument appeared silently beside his hand.

After taking a deep breath, Tendo Souji took the Surpass Insect Instrument, raised his right hand and held the Kabuto insect, which was late compared to the Surpass Insect Instrument.

In order to deal with Kanzaki Shirou's time reset, he must make sure that he stays in the corridor of time [knowing that Kanzaki Shirou will initiate a time reset soon], so as to deal with Kanzaki Shirou's next time reset and push the timeline to the future where Kanzaki Shirou must fight other Mirror Knights.

[Tiandao Souji will never doubt the answer he found by himself, reasoned by himself, and concluded by himself]

"Henshin——"

Chapter 390 Smuggling Time

Just like a stand can only be seen by the stand user, and the stand users are attracted to each other.

Only the Mirror Knights can find the other Mirror Knights, and due to Kanzaki Shirou's promise that the last Mirror Knight would be able to fulfill his wish, the Mirror Knights are searching for each other.

That’s weird——

Only the Mirror Knight can observe what happens in the Mirror World, but this does not mean that the Mirror Knight can only be found in the Mirror World.

The thing that is most in demand in the modern world is cameras.

The Mirror Knight's range of movement is limited by the active time of the Mirror World.

As long as Shinji Kido and his companions encounter other Mirror Knights in the Mirror World, they can reversely calculate the location from which the other party entered the Mirror World. Even if the other party chose a hidden corner to transform, they can search and screen those suspicious people through the camera and then eliminate them one by one.

The only problem is that this is a lot of work and requires sufficient permissions.

"I see. I now roughly understand what's going on."

U, who was not in the control tower but in the Selvi Tulia laboratory, nodded with his chin up.

"But how can you ensure that Kanzaki Shirou resets time when he realizes that he can't beat you? Or...when he realizes that you want to unite all the Mirror Knights to fight him, reset time directly and do something earlier so that you can't even have such an idea."

Red crossed his arms and used them.

He did not reveal the existence of Tendou Souji.

U is a very rational person. He will not believe like him that Tendo Souji can deal with the plug-in ability of resetting time just because Tendo Souji said there is a way to solve it.

In fact...

He himself couldn't explain why he believed in Tendou Souji.

It's pure intuition.

"We have also considered this aspect, but unfortunately, this is a problem that cannot be avoided no matter how much we think about it," Redha breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Tendo Souji has a way to solve the problem of time resetting, their only way to deal with Kanzaki Shirou now is to unite all the Mirror Knights to besiege Kanzaki Shirou.

"Perhaps, there is some flaw in Kanzaki Shirou's time reset, and he cannot change the future as he wishes. Or, what he desires cannot be achieved by resetting time."

Until now, Red still doesn't understand what Shirou Kanzaki's purpose is.

"I see. What caused the timeline to change was the time when Kanzaki Shirou died," U nodded. "He didn't die. He died a few days ago. He died a long time ago. The three different times caused the timeline to deviate."

"And... the person who became the Mirror Knight had contact with me in the last two timelines. If he wanted to avoid the future where I would join forces with other Mirror Knights to deal with him in the Mirror World, he shouldn't have given the Knight Box to those people in the third timeline where no one can make the Knight Box," Red added after thinking for a while.

"Or, he has other purposes."

"Either..." U narrowed his eyes slightly, "Something is stopping him. Even if he doesn't intend to give your friend the Knight Card Box, something will allow your friend to get the Knight Card Box. So he has no choice but to use a method that allows the final winner to realize his wish to hinder your unity."

"Or maybe he reached some kind of compromise with something that was stopping him, and he made your friends become Mirror Knights, and he also made those dangerous people who would never cooperate with you become Mirror Knights."

Red's mouth dropped open.

"What's wrong? Do you have any other ideas?"

"No, ha - I just think your speculation is incredible," Red complained, scratching the back of his head.

"It makes sense, but is it really possible?"

"So in order to make this possible, we have to take action now," U stood up and snapped his fingers.

"The only weakness of Kanzaki Shirou is that he can only reset the timeline, but cannot modify it freely. Therefore, the best way to deal with time reset is to travel through time."

"Puff--" Enbei, who was drinking water, choked and coughed heavily a few times, "Hey, hey, hey--U, are you serious? We can't repair that thing."

"That thing?" Reid was stunned.

U held his chin in thought for a while, then stood up and waved to Red.

"follow me."

Led by U and Embi, Red took the central elevator to a huge underground space. It was extremely empty and dark. With their arrival, spotlights lit up one by one, and the light gathered in the center, where a huge train was parked.

But the train had long been scrapped and its shell was covered with rust.

"What is this?" Reid asked curiously.

"The Time Train," U said slowly, "can enter any era and any time point through a dedicated track to deal with the alien demons who wantonly travel through time and disrupt the timeline, and -"

U walked up, picked up the belt and ticket on the platform and put them in Red's hand.

"There are people called singularities in this world. They are not affected by the changes of time. As long as they hold the belt and ticket of the time train, they can obtain the power called the Electric King."

Looking at the Den-O Belt in Red's hand which showed no reaction at all, U let out a sigh of regret.

"Are you not a singularity after all?"

"Feel sorry--"

"No, it's not your fault. In fact, we have been looking for singularities, but singularities only have the characteristic of not being affected by the disturbance of the timeline. We don't have the ability to observe the changes in the timeline, so we can't find singularities," Ember added. "We haven't thought about it either, except for the Demon God... No, we have never thought that humans can reset time through research."

"So... now we have to find a singularity to start the train?" Reid asked tentatively after thinking for a while.

"No - the reason why the Time Train can deal with the Demon God is that it can use the ticket to locate the Demon God's location and the time when the timeline was disrupted, fundamentally changing this fact. However, Kanzaki Shirou is different from the Demon God. As far as the current situation is concerned, the way he interferes with the timeline is to kill himself."

"Even if we repair the time train and come to the time of his [death], it won't change anything. He can enter the mirror world."

"Then...what if Shirou Kanzaki didn't study the mirror world earlier?" Reid asked.

"The time train doesn't exist to change the timeline," U put the belt and ticket back.

"We are not a singularity either. We in the next timeline cannot imagine that time has been reset."
