Yes, love can save humanity.

[Since you have been exposed to the "Retrograde Canal" related techniques, you can pay in advance for the skills available this week in exchange for the right to use the "Retrograde Canal" once]

[The time point you choose to go back is——]

[1. Past]

【2. Now】

3. Future

Wow, the “Reverse Canal” is here?

I just used the "Storage of Events" related to the "Retrograde Canal" when I was creating "Odin II" before. Can you let me use the "Retrograde Canal" directly?

Even if it's a choice between three, and even if it can only be used once, this cheat is more terrifying than everything I've accumulated before!

I declare that even though I have reincarnated so many times and collected so many cheats, they are nothing in front of your cute little simulator!

It’s so good and so strong!

Looking at the description of the love simulator, Ciel perked up.

You know, the so-called "retrograde canal" refers to the behavior of going against the long river of time that flows from the past to the future in order to review, travel through and modify the "past".

Among them, the so-called "past" is not determined by the "present" when the "retrograde canal" is released, but by the "present" that is to be intercepted when the "retrograde canal" is released.

Therefore, the three time point options given by the love confession simulator are very important.

Ciel could even guess that the spells represented by these three time points were exactly "Retrograde Canal/Primordial Dawn", "Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception" and "Retrograde Canal/Creation Light Year".

among them--

"Retrograde Canal/Primordial Dawn" allows the target of the spell to intercept the energy and mysteries of the planet's primordial period, so that its abilities can be greatly corrected and reach the level of primates in the First Age of Gods, that is, the era before the arrival of the Wandering Planet Vanguard.

"Retrograde Canal/Celestial Conception" will continuously collect information about the surrounding phenomena of the target, allowing it to be promoted to a "world egg" that reaches the top of the planet.

"Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year" is a technique that allows the caster to transform the events that can be interfered with and the information that can be brought into energy, and burn and use it as energy and fuel.

There is no doubt that any of these three techniques is enough to defeat Surut.

But the problem is that the costs of these three techniques are different.

After all, interfering with the past, present and future will cause different butterfly effects and causal problems.

However, the most appropriate option for this multiple-choice question was not difficult for Charles to calculate.

The worst consequence of going back from the past is to be burdened with karma that has accumulated over the years like a snowball and is enough to crush a person to death.

If we go back now, the worst result would be that we would need to absorb too much energy, and before defeating Surut, we would have already shattered and absorbed the entire Nordic Lostbelt.

Going backwards from the future, the worst result is to deny the future, deny all the possibilities and branches that one originally had, and burn them all as energy.

Charles knew that there was actually only one option he could choose!

That is the final technique that has the ability to perform the most precise operations, reduce the required costs, and is the most effective in launching special attacks against Surtur, or more precisely, using Gaia's life. It can burn the information brought by the connection of all things as fuel, and can create a more dazzling light than the Holy Sword of Salvation!

"I choose the future!" Ciel said to the Love Simulator, "Go back to my future and give me the ability to burn things!"

【Yes】

[You have temporarily unlocked the skill - "Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year"]

It was like answering a call.

There were so many of them, as countless and unobservable as stars, and they continued to multiply and grow larger. They appeared beside Charles and surrounded his body.

Ciel reached out his hand and touched one of the spots of light.

In an instant, a large amount of light and shadow that he had never seen before flooded into his mind. Before he began to understand, they had already been transformed into energy to nourish his injured body, turning into "memories" that could not be recalled or observed.

[You have lost the skill '████']

Ciel already understood that the points of light surrounding him were all coming from the lower reaches of the Star Canal, and were his own unique "future".

The moment he touches the "future", it will become the fuel needed to burn, and it is the price he should pay.

"What? How is this possible?"

"How can you go back through the canal and graft your own 'future' onto the 'present'?"

"Aside from the planetary restraint power, only the fifth magician, Beast I, can have this kind of power..."

"How do you have such power?!"

"Alaya, is there something you can't predict?" Facing Alaya's question, Ciel asked with a smile, "Now, do I have the power to defeat Surut?"

"With the power of 'Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year', defeating Surut is not difficult."

"The premise is that you can afford the corresponding 'fuel'"

"Is it really worth it to preserve the present at the cost of overdrawing the future?"

In response to the question from Restraint, Ciel, who had recovered some of his strength, smiled.

"Of course it's worth it."

“If I can’t accomplish what I want to do now, what’s the point of the future?”

"This price is more expensive than becoming a Heroic Spirit."

"Don't worry about that."

"It may be a heavy price to trade the future for the present, but for me, at least it is more comfortable than losing my freedom completely."

"After all, the initiative is in my hands."

"Sooner or later, you will pay for the choices you make now"

"It doesn't matter. I will play badly." Charles said with a smile, "Let's drink today. Don't worry about it."

"Well, see you in the future then."

"I hope you will still be worth doing business with me next time you encounter difficulties."

"I hope I never see you again... But that's impossible."

"As long as we live in this turbulent era, in this crisis-ridden wave, we will see each other again sooner or later."

Listening to the words left by the restraining force, Ciel couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he put away his complicated emotions, looked at the ice wolf beside him, which was covered with burns and scorch marks, but was still on guard for him and protecting his safety, and said soothingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Fenrir II."

The ice wolf rubbed Charles' head obediently. Although there was fatigue in its eyes, there was no trace of dejection.

"It seems that you are still in good spirits."

Ciel couldn't help but smile as he saw his companion still willing to fight.

Ciel knew that as a skill that used burning phenomena as fuel, "Retrograde Canal/Genesis Light Year" could burn more than just his own future.

Therefore, he spoke again and spoke to the simulator that provided him with the plug-in.

"Love Simulator, burn my 'Natural Affinity'."

【Yes】

As Charles spoke, a "spot of light" suddenly emerged from the "stars" and came to him and the ice wolf.

Without any hesitation, Charles reached out his hand and touched the "light spot", turning it into pure energy and flowing it into the body of the ice wolf.

[You have lost the skill "Nature Affinity (D)"]

In an instant, the ice wolf seemed to be shedding its skin. The burns and scorch marks on its body faded and lightened at a speed visible to the naked eye until they disappeared.

"Perhaps, this battle may cost me all the rewards I have gained from the simulation so far... This is really a very unprofitable deal."

"Woo?"

The Ice Wolf looked at what had happened to him and tilted his head in disbelief, as if he hadn't figured out the current situation yet.

Ciel stroked his friend's face, which was full of question marks, and asked with a smile: "Will you still fight with me?"

"Ow!"

The ice wolf nodded fiercely and let out a roar full of fighting spirit.

"Xia-er-! Where are you hiding?!"

On the battlefield, Surut, who was constantly receiving long-range fire suppression and continuous rune attacks from Sigurd and Brunhilde, was like a chicken with blood when he heard the roar of the ice wolf. He waved the sword of fire in his hand again in anger and roared: "I will kill you!"

"Tsk, you keep saying the same thing over and over again. You're really a brainless orphan who has deducted all his intelligence and put all his points into strength."

Listening to Surut's deafening roar, Charles rode on the ice wolf.

Led by the ice storm that swept across the battlefield again, he returned to the center of the battlefield.

"Let's start the second round, Surut."

Looking at the Fire Giant King who was covered in scars but still standing, Charles smiled provocatively.

"Let's see whose cheat is stronger!"

Chapter 46 Goodbye goddess, I’m going to find a new love!

"L?vateinn, the Sword of the Sun that Disasters!"

Surut raised the Demon Sword of Fire without mercy, and the fire of disaster rushed towards Charles and the Ice Wolf like a wave.

"Cover your ears!"

At Charles's angry shout, Sigurd and Brunhilde immediately covered their ears obediently. The divine spear that turned into lightning was like a dazzling light snake, tearing through layers of fire waves and crashing into the dazzling Demon Sword of Fire.

"boom------------!"

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out in the center of the battlefield, and endless roars and the wails of the earth intertwined into a group, constantly stirring on the battlefield.

The blood is boiling and the body is shaking.

The impact of the collision between the two most powerful divine weapons was so strong that even Charles, who was protected by the divine core, began to feel the tremor of his soul.

Feeling the blood about to burst through the pulsation of his heart, Charles had a real sense that he was alive at this moment!

"Sigurd, Brunhilde, go!"

The Yingling couple did not hesitate at all and ran away from the battlefield as fast as they could the moment they heard the order.

The current battle has gone beyond the scope of their interference.

“Gungnir!”

The moment he was sure that the Heroic Spirit couple had left, Charles stretched out his hand, and the divine spear that was fighting against the Demon Sword of Flame instantly turned into a point of light and dissipated, returning to his hand.

"Impossible!" Surut looked at Charles who was intact under his attack, and cursed in shock and anger, "How could you possibly take my attack!"

"Why is this impossible? Haven't you also gained a power that doesn't belong to you?"

"I am the wrath of Ymir, the end of the Nordics. I am supposed to have such a destiny and power!"

"You are just a demigod who has obtained the power of Odin and Loki and has not yet been promoted to a demigod. How can you possess such power?!"

"Oh, they are all cheating, what's the point of talking about fate and bloodline?"

Listening to Surut's doubts, Charles couldn't help but laugh.

After burning the "future", he did gain the power to fight against Surtur head-on. But in the end, he was only able to fight against Surtur who had not yet activated his Noble Phantasm.

Who knew that just by keeping up with Surut's normal strength, he could make Surut so angry.

It's just like he's a giant baby who uses cheats every day and regards cheats as a privilege. It makes people want to laugh.

"Could it be that, apart from your fate and bloodline, you don't have anything else to show for yourself?!"

"Damn you, Charles! Damn you, Renri!"

Faced with Charles' provocation, Surut was extremely angry.

In an instant, the temperature of the entire battlefield rose sharply, and the Sword of Flame once again ignited the world-destroying fire.

however--

“‘The Great God’s Proclamation’!”

The divine spear that pierced the sky was wrapped in dazzling lightning and hit the sword of fire with lightning speed, triggering endless roars again, instantly detonating the gathered high temperature and exploding one thunder after another.
