"At this moment? Are you kidding?"

Orange understood everything at once, patted his empty shirt pocket, and gave a wry smile.

"I haven't had time to buy it yet. Even if I cheated, I'm still annoyed by being defeated by a half-baked person like you. But for some reason, I'm not as disappointed as last time."

Through the power of the fifth method, Aoko demonstrated mental time travel, and without changing her body or technique, she used her experience to defeat Orange last time.

That was why the unwilling Orange made a deal with Roland, using his advantage as a prophet to bridge the gap.

Although Aoko also demonstrated alternative uses of magic, in other words, didn't she also set up a lot of super-standard things in advance for this battle?

Be it Beo or the monster in the box, in this situation, Qingzi still did not reveal the true face of magic. Such equality was within the acceptable range of Orange.

"But even after ten years, you still look worrying. What has Yuju been doing?"

Although there was sarcasm in Orange's words, she did not show any hostility or hatred towards Aoko.

Perhaps it was because what she really wanted to take revenge on was not Aoko herself, but her birth as a magus, which had trapped both her and her sister.

"I'm having a hard time dealing with the trouble you caused. I don't know why you were able to travel beyond my timeline and come back to this moment. I didn't expect the past to be even stranger. Even the pearl was taken away. I'm sure that the trouble caused by that guy you provoked will haunt me for the rest of my life."

"It seems like you're being led by the nose, Aoko."

"That's right. I didn't expect that having one's thoughts twisted by others would be so infuriating, especially when that guy pretended to be a good brother-in-law to make the girl's heart flutter."

Aoko responded with a self-deprecating whisper.

Seeing this scene, Orange curled up the corners of his mouth as if he found it funny.

"why are you laughing?"

"No, I just didn't expect that magicians are also ordinary people. Take back what I said about you being an idiot. You are very cute ten years later. Would you consider sparing my life and joining your brother-in-law's family with me?"

"Orange, you..."

"Don't glare at me. This time I'm giving you a sincere compliment. By the way, Aoko, is your magic a means or an end?"

Whether it is the former or the latter is a rather necessary question.

There is an essential difference between being used because the source has been reached, being born as a result, or being a means to reach the source.

"It's the latter, because I ran away with my tail between my legs at the door, so I have no idea what grandpa was thinking."

The corners of Qingzi's mouth twitched slightly and she sighed.

"So it has the same origin as the first magic, and the sin is even more serious. I heard that the second to fourth magics are all derived from means to reach that place. It is normal in the world that like repels like. Sooner or later, it will inevitably devour the first magic. So, the Fountain of Wisdom, or in your words, the Gate of Akasha comes from there, right?"

"You've been eyeing it from the beginning."

Orange seemed to exhale his last remaining breath and nodded weakly.

"There weren't many things worth pursuing in the first place. Well, they're all in the past. There's no need to bring it up again. Finally, I want to hear your thoughts on being touched by the roots."

Orange breathed hard.

Qingzi raised his right hand high and did not answer.

All knowledge related to the root must not be leaked.

But as my sister's last request, it should be okay to reveal some of my feelings.

"To be honest, I don't understand it at all, because during this time travel, before I even entered the white place, I was pushed across the boundary by another will. Are there three restraining forces? How strange..."

After saying these incoherent thoughts, Aoko swung her hand down like thunder, preparing to cast a curse. She wanted to preserve Orange's life while making him fall into a deep sleep forever, just like those magicians whose marks were taken away by Orange.

She is not someone who is gentle enough to laugh off being killed.

Next, this unbreakable spell will remain effective on Orange's body forever, and this is how it should be.

But the next moment, her hand, which was about to be waved, unexpectedly rose directly into the sky, and the white sea of ​​flowers seemed to be inspired and kept flying towards the sky.

The orange, unable to resist, fell upwards at an even faster speed and disappeared in the shadow of the sky.

Aoko used her magic power to fight against the gravity from the sky and was flying upside down when she suddenly heard crisp footsteps in the distance.

In this world where even the rules of gravity have been reversed, Qingzi is the only one who can keep his feet on the ground. Even without seeing the other person's full appearance, Qingzi knew the identity of the person who came.

"——Roland!"

Chapter 220: Magicians cannot be insulted!

"It's really tragic. With the same experience, he was still beaten like this. I hope Orange can behave himself in the future."

A deep voice rang out in the sea of ​​flowers that had mostly turned into ruins.

Roland glanced at Aozaki Touko, who was slowly emerging from the shadow behind him and seemed to be breathing more than exhaling, and snapped his fingers mercilessly, causing her to sink back into the shadow.

"Okay, from now on, you should take good care of your injuries and prepare to repay my kindness with your whole life. We don't need losers here for the time being."

As he spoke, Aozaki Aoko used the power of magic to stand on the ground again, but as far as her current physical sensation was concerned, this was no different from standing upside down on the ceiling.

"You were able to adapt so quickly even though your positions were completely reversed. Should I congratulate you on finally becoming a true magician?"

"Who cares about those things? But you, even though you went back to the past, still chose to save Orange. It seems that she means a lot to you."

Aozaki Aoko snorted coldly, but did not yell or scream because of Roland's true identity as she did before. Instead, she talked to him very calmly.

"Of course, she is my precious property. From now on, Aozaki Touko will create value for me forever. This will not change even if the universe comes to an end. I can't let go of such a huge fortune."

"Tsk... I thought you cared more about so-called sublimation and heaven than wealth. You are such a stubborn guy."

Aozaki Aoko said bluntly.

Although it was clearly a very rude remark, Aoko's tone gave off the feeling that she was talking to an acquaintance.

Although this was not obvious from the aggressive posture of her subconsciously clenched fists.

"Oh? Even Heaven knows about this. I'll just ask you first, how many years in the future are you from?"

Even though he already knew the truth about the fifth law, Roland still couldn't help but be surprised.

The Fifth Law is destructive in nature, and time travel is just a means to achieve this.

By taking future experience and adding it to herself, and multiplying it by magic, Aoko now possesses extraordinary combat power that can crush her sister.

Although it remains to be seen how much of the memory and experience will remain after the magic is lifted, Aoko now is undoubtedly herself ten years later.

Although she inherited Aoko's memories, her attitude towards things is mature and steady enough because of her mental growth.

For example, she did not kill Orange immediately, but beat her to the point where she could not move before telling her that she knew how Orange used the doll to resurrect. She would not be easily angered, and when her sister who had killed her was rescued by Roland, she was still able to talk to Roland calmly.

Therefore, the attitude she displayed was very subtle.

According to Aozaki Aoko's timeline in this world, if Roland had not traveled back in time, would he still be entangled with the two of them?

"About ten years, I'm too lazy to count the exact time. Anyway, you've messed up the subsequent timeline, and I'm really not in the mood to do that."

"More than ten years?"

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I suddenly feel a little curious. After that, when I lacked the element of time, what kind of great achievements did I make up for it? Even you already know about heaven."

"Then use your imagination to your heart's content and make a good guess. Isn't this what you like to do most?"

Aozaki Aoko didn't fall for Roland's provocation at all and laughed at him without hesitation.

Roland always takes advantage of his status as a prophet to tease others. This kind of bad taste is indeed a bad habit of his.

However, Roland was not angry at being treated in the same way, he just raised his eyebrows.

Even if one does not take the most appropriate path of returning to the past, the road to heaven still exists, but the risk may be higher, and one may even have to carry out the next ceremony in one go.

Therefore, from the perspective of Aoko, who has become a magician, the subsequent timeline will be a mess that she cannot salvage.

Then, she must be clear about what the next step of the ceremony will be.

Roland showed a look of realization.

"Then it seems that your situation is not good. You have grown into a person that others can rely on, and you have mastered the magic of destroying the universe, but you are still so cautious. Does this mean that even at this point in time ten years ago, if I knew about those variables, it would affect many things?"

Aozaki Aoko was startled at first, and her charming smile slowly faded away. She stared at Roland with cold eyes.

"That's why I hate people like you who can always see through the essence of things. I'm really not good at plotting and scheming. It's all because Orange has sucked away my artistic talent! But, on the other hand, I'm very good at solving problems with simple victory or defeat!"

The chill emanating from Qingzi's body became stronger and stronger, and her fingers began to crackle again. Even though she became calm and composed, her nature would not change.

"Since you rescued Orange, I will not continue to hunt her down. Let this matter come to an end. Anyway, she knows that she has no chance of revenge. But as a troublemaker, please accompany me to make a scene."

"You should know that this time travel will have irreversible consequences for the future, right? Everything you do here will cause a deviation in the future, which may lead to a bigger accident."

"Then let my future self worry about it when trouble arises!"

Aozaki Aoko showed an eager look and began to get ready.

"When I wasn't a magician, I could only accept everything. Now that I've become a magician, if I still can't be willful, then wouldn't this job as a magician be in vain?"

Aoko grinned, and a hint of excitement ignited in her tone.

"Besides, you haven't integrated those things yet, and that crazy woman is not by your side. When I think of how much suffering Youzhu and I have suffered at your hands, and how I can now bully the young you, I feel very happy."

"Immature?"

Hearing this, Roland frowned slightly and chuckled.

"Although I don't know what you've been through, you don't think that easily defeating Orange proves anything, do you?"

"You have to try to know. Don't worry, for Alice and Youzhu's sake, I won't do anything to you."

"Please allow me to return this sentence to you. As your dear brother-in-law, I will also show mercy, but you seemed to have just said... Alice?"

This name, which was separate from Youzhu and indicated that it was not an alias, made Roland look surprised for the first time.

But before he could speak again, Aozaki Aoko tapped her feet lightly and disappeared on the spot in the blink of an eye, taking the lead in starting the battle between brother-in-law and sister-in-law!

For a magician, ten years is not a lot of time. At most, they can complete a few small research results. In the Clock Tower, students who have just graduated and received their grades in their twenties can barely be considered to have entered the door of magic. This is why Kenneth, who is in his thirties and has not yet officially married, is still called a child prodigy.

But people are different after all. What Aozaki Touko has achieved before she was 30 is more than enough to be awarded two championship titles.

As her younger sister, although she was still a dilettante ten years later, after concentrating her main energy on her weak areas, she had already reached the pinnacle!

"call out--!"

Aozaki Aoko's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She paused slightly in the air at an invisible super speed and crossed the distance in space. Her blue pupils condensed, and in the swirling storm, the magic ritual that had been prepared long ago was unfolded behind her, firing hundreds of magic bullets contained in the mysterious patterns out at once.

The technique of firing these hundreds of magic bullets seems simple, and even a beginner can use it, but the only one who can make each bullet have the destructive power comparable to the Great Magecraft of the Age of Gods is Aozaki Aoko.

Looking at the magic bullets falling like meteors, Roland just raised his head slightly. Without even moving his fingers, his sight had already begun to obliterate these attacks. Golden electric light entangled outside his eye sockets, and blazing beams of light shot up into the sky.

When being scanned by the electric eye, the surface of the blue magic bullet suddenly sank and ripples appeared, attempting to explode directly and release its own power, but this possibility was eliminated after a "puff" sound.

In less than half a second, the remaining etheric magic in the magic bullet was annihilated and collapsed in the lightning, leaving only smoke and dust that floated away like splashing water.

It took less than half a second for this phenomenon to spread from the first magic bullet to the last.

In the gleaming flames, there is no doubt that if one is caught by this pair of eyes, one will be instantly turned into charcoal.

"The annoying electric eyes are so intimidating!"

However, Aozaki Aoko had already expected this result.

She muttered, and before Roland turned his gaze with thunderous glare, she advanced and appeared beside Roland. She surrounded her right arm with a spell, activated the seal, and allowed the alienated magic to merge into her fist.

The unfolding technique began to explode from her elbow, driving her body to move as smoothly as the rotation of the earth, directly hitting Roland!

As the punch was thrown, multiple spells began to gather, tightly wrapped around Qingzi's body, like armor protecting her.

For Aoko, who can count the number of spells she knows on two hands and usually just uses magic power to strengthen herself, it must have taken a lot of effort for her to be able to use such complicated spells so quickly and smoothly.

Before the formal contact, Roland felt the result of the multiple spells.

Prevent external forces from interfering with actions, prevent transformation magic from changing, and automatically guide the pursuit of lost targets...

Just looking at these painstaking measures is enough to prove that Qingzi's words about suffering a lot were not simply self-deprecation, but a summary of that painful experience.

"How about it! I practiced for so long just to make sure you can't avoid this moment!"

After failing time and time again and getting up again and again, she finally waited for this moment!

"boom--!"

But just when Qingzi's fist was about to hit Roland, the target in front of her had changed to Roland's palm.

"Really? Then it seems that my future self was just playing with you, as expected."

"You stopped time?"

Aozaki Aoko exclaimed in astonishment. As she was very adept at manipulating time, she naturally knew nothing about the feeling of blankness just now. When she inherited magic and had insight into the universe, Aoko had also seen the scene of the stars stopping.
