Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Conan-san laughed for a while and finally calmed down a little.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the hideous being that truly embodied all that is human.

"So, your bullshit proposal, your shitty invitation...I reject it!"

091 The Savior’s Personal Opinion

"Refuse?"

The emotionless savior nodded slightly with an expressionless face.

"I understand."

Then, he didn't move anymore.

"This……"

Conan-san thought that after he firmly rejected the other party, this guy would definitely call him immediately.

But the other party just did that and did nothing.

Conan-san really had no idea what this man would do next.

The other party's indifferent lack of response made people feel even more uneasy.

"you are at……"

Conanshan was not at a loss, because he soon found out why the other party did not make any movement.

"…You're stalling for time!"

In the concept of time, in the time temple of the multiverse that changes humanity, time itself does not have much meaning.

But the savior of mankind is indeed stalling for time.

"You are waiting! You are waiting for the destruction of the human multiverse! Waiting for the realization of the only real timeline! Waiting for the fusion of all human parallel worlds! Waiting... for me to lose my power!"

Conan-san is not powerful.

He has emphasized this point countless times, and it is a fact that he must recognize.

The reason why he can travel through time and space is because of the time treasure produced by his golden finger, which is the time machine he is currently using.

Then, he was able to use this time machine not for any other reason, but precisely because the entire human multiverse and countless parallel worlds had changed and distorted.

"The time-space treasure I'm using now cannot be activated normally. The energy and magic power it requires are too huge... Even if I create a magic Dyson sphere and use the entire sun as fuel and power, it can only barely activate my treasure, but it still cannot travel too far in time..."

Now, the time-space treasure named Shiji can be activated, and it is ultimately because of the changes in time in the endless parallel worlds in the human multiverse.

The historical records were born in the soul of the traveler due to the distortion of time, and also automatically generated huge heat due to the countless fluctuations of time and space. These incalculable heat from history, in turn, became the driving force for activating this treasure.

In simple terms, as long as the multiverse that now belongs to humans is still undergoing changes in time, Shiji is equivalent to having endless and inexhaustible energy.

However, on the other hand, as long as the change of time stops, the historical records will no longer automatically produce friction with time and space, and will no longer generate heat and energy sufficient to drive this treasure.

At that time, the historical records may still contain a huge amount of heat that is enough to burn the entire history of mankind, but once this heat is used, it can never be replenished.

In this case, facing the savior of the multiverse who can create human beings, I am afraid it is really not enough.

Conan-san will not tell anyone the secret of the Time and Space Treasure, but during the previous interception of the Time Tunnel, I am afraid that this savior has already seen some clues.

Before, the other party could not see the existence of the time traveler and had no way to fully grasp the situation, but now that the person is standing directly in front of the other party, don't be lucky and think that the other party can't see through the time and space treasure.

"Advent, I have no intention of fighting with you. If you can wait quietly for a while until everything is over, I will be very grateful to you."

The Savior's reactions and emotions remained calm, or rather, almost emotionless.

However, his reaction and response was equivalent to his acknowledgment of Conan-san's guess.

He was indeed stalling for time.

"Your power is indeed a threat. A treasure that can burn time and history is, in a sense, the natural enemy of mankind and also my restraint. Now that everything has come to a close, I hope to avoid any risks and accidents."

Conanshan had to admit that he was a little confused and entangled now.

He didn't know whether he should attack the man in front of him.

It could be said that he had reasons to take action, but he also had absolutely no reasons to do the opposite.

Because of his coming, the multiverse created by the savior that belongs only to humans and countless parallel worlds will collapse one after another. He can indeed be regarded as the source of all distortions.

What the savior is doing now is just to speed up the integration of the world, so that the only real timeline left can become more reasonable and will not collapse due to the excessive mixing of the worldviews and settings of countless parallel worlds.

Conanshan is not qualified to stop the other party's actions. In order for the final timeline to become stable, it is best for him not to take any action.

However, this savior who came from the future and rewrote the past and the future not only gave mankind protection, but also numerous hardships and so-called trials.

If we just watch the other side complete the running-in and integration of the world, the final world will only be a super-stitched monster world that is countless times more chaotic than the current stitched monster world.

Then, in this artificially blended world, there will be all kinds of malice towards humans, the so-called challenges and trials in the mouth of the Savior.

It is precisely because this savior did not hide anything about what he had done that people are even more confused about what to do.

Sometimes, so-called facts and reality are more cruel than lies.

If you ask Conan whether he is wrong or not, and whether he needs to take responsibility for the destruction of the human multiverse, he will of course say without hesitation that he has done nothing wrong.

He was just an ordinary man, not great enough to sacrifice himself for humanity.

Moreover, in the current situation, sacrificing him would be of no use.

"Advent, even though you rejected me, I still need you. Please be the enemy of humanity, just like me."

"……what?"

When Conan was worried to death, the savior who continued to sew and weave a new and unique world line suddenly spoke again.

"In my prediction and plan, humans must surpass me. I am humanity's ultimate enemy and humanity's final test. As long as humans can defeat me, then humanity can take a new step forward.

If humans want to progress, they must surpass themselves, surpass humanity itself.

But before that, humans still need a lot of nutrients for growth, and they still need many challenges and experiences. "

The concept of existence itself is equivalent to the savior of mankind as a whole, and begins to "predetermine the future."

Even if Conan didn't have to look at the model of time, space and the world that the Savior had thoughtfully visualized, he could still feel the changes in the human multiverse that was shrinking into one through his own time artifact.

The Savior is weaving a destiny that is bound to happen.

Just like the script of a play, it is a "plot" that is bound to happen and cannot be avoided or prevented by humans no matter what.

"Advent, you who have the power to burn history will be a great challenge and obstacle.

Just like the last boss guarding the outer level of the game, only after defeating him can you challenge the real inner level.

I am sorry that I must disregard your wishes, and I ask you to become the nourishment and experience for humanity to transcend humanity.”

“…Hmm!?”

The Time Gear that was protecting Conan suddenly began to vibrate violently.

The huge amount of heat generated by the time changes in the human multiverse disappeared by nearly one percent in the previous moment.

Conan-san certainly understood what was going on.

He is nothing more than the savior of the human race who wants to control his fate.

Without the automatic protection and counterattack of the Time Treasure, Conan-san might really become like an unconscious puppet, a slave to fate manipulated by the savior.

"...You!"⑻

Conan-san is very angry.

Now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Since the Savior has taken action, he can only fight back.

"I don't want to become a demon king! No matter whether you are the savior of mankind or the creator of the multiverse... don't give others unwanted bad plots! My future and my fate are not for you to decide!"0

092 Mysterious Battle⑤

Conan-san, who no longer hesitated to take action, started fighting with the savior who sat on the throne of time.

However, in the eyes of others, the two of them just stayed there, doing nothing, just staring at each other.

Everything is still calm in the Temple of Time.

But in fact, they have already started a mysterious battle over the concept of time.

This is a collision that occurs in a time that cannot be seen or captured, interweaving the past, present, and future. Without the corresponding ability to transcend time, it is impossible to understand this kind of battle.

Although, even Conan-san himself in battle doesn't quite understand it.

It was the first time that Conan-san used the power of the Time Artifact with all his strength without any reservation.

When he was traveling through the time tunnel before, facing the obstacles released by the Time Temple, he was far from fully exerting the power of the Time Artifact.

On the one hand, it is unnecessary, and on the other hand, it is to preserve the heat generated by the time machine.

The treasure named Shiji is not a weapon in essence. The heat that can burn history and time is just the waste heat generated by the friction between the treasure and time and space, which must be discharged. The treasure has no function of retaining heat at all.

That is to say, once the calories from time are consumed, they cannot be effectively replenished.

Secondly, if Records of the Grand Historian stops operating or time travel is stopped, this heat will slowly dissipate - in fact, it is the cooling of the time machine.

Therefore, Conan-san must properly arrange the use of this power.

Having said that, as long as the distortion and change of time in the entire human multiverse continues, Shiji will theoretically continue to generate heat from friction with time and space, so he doesn't have to think too much about it.

However, now he is facing the creator and ruler of the entire human multiverse, so he cannot be too careful.

However, as he was just a magic apprentice studying in a magic school, he really couldn't understand what kind of battle he was fighting.

He now basically uses his intuition, feeling and instinct to use the treasure that can interfere with time.

As soon as the battle began, he quite directly tried to burn the history of the man-made savior in front of him.

This was actually just a tentative attack, and he didn't think it would be successful.

Then, to his surprise, he simply burned his former savior to death.

The Savior was really burned to ashes!

However, before Conan-san could be surprised, he discovered that the savior still existed.

Qiu Conanshan can be very sure that he used the power of the Noble Phantasm to burn the savior of the "past" to death. The savior of the "previous second" was dead and could not die anymore.

０But the savior of the "present" is still safe and sound.

In the past, Conan-san, who could no longer find his target, chose to attack the savior of the "future".

8. This kind of attack on the "future" is not simply an attack in the "present", it is equivalent to a "decision on the future" that is a reversal of cause and effect.

⒋ Conan traveled through time and burned the future savior to death, which means that the current savior will definitely die in the future. This is such a fateful and destined attack.

②But, but again——

He succeeded for a long time, but he also failed.

０ He burned the savior to death in the future, which was equivalent to determining the fate of the future. This was unchangeable because it had already happened in the "past" and would definitely happen in the "future".

⑤Then, the savior of mankind did not die.

It is clear that he is already dead in the future. This is a destiny that transcends the concepts of time and fate, but he is still alive.

Just like the past and future of this savior have nothing to do with him who sits on the throne of time.

"I've known for a long time that it's not that simple...but what the hell is this?"

Conan-san can no longer find the savior, whether in the past or the future. This person is indeed completely dead in time.

But, no effect means no effect, and no influence means no influence.

The savior continued to stare at Conan-san's futile efforts with eyes that seemed to have no emotions.

"Well……"

While Conan-san was launching attacks, he was also suffering from attacks coming from different points in time.

Just as he did, he suffered inexplicable shocks in the past and the future, attacks that could not be seen or found, invisible and intangible.

Conan Shan relied on the automatic defense ability of the time artifact to continuously resist this conceptual attack on time. The price he paid was that his body would occasionally vibrate a little bit in the two time rings - not much damage - and the heat from time was constantly weakened.

"This will never end..."

Conan-san held the controller of the great sword-shaped time treasure tightly in both hands.

He pointed the tip of his sword at the man sitting on the throne of time.
