Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　But that's about it.

　While observing these things, Cong Yu used the power of faith to condense flames in the form of the Blue Sky Islet, continuously scattering them towards the planet.

　The flame, forged by the power of faith, transformed into an absolute and distant blaze on that planet, burning endlessly.

　Soon, the thorns, which were moving at varying speeds, became increasingly erratic, and would even occasionally move abruptly as if in a frame-dropping motion.

　It looks open

　too weird.

　Under the dim blue light of the fire, Cong Yu watched everything unfold before him with his arms crossed.

　Watching those thorns transform their remains into raging flames

　Then, Cong Yu's composure vanished the moment he got bored and started looking at the terminal in his hand.

　Cong Yu's expression turned serious in an instant...

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Time... has become disordered.]

　Just as Anophis of the same origin said, the time displayed on the terminal in Cong Yu's hand would occasionally go backward for a moment.

　Probably -

　从13:43:05，以极快的速度，快速的跳转到06秒、07秒、08秒……

　Then, in the next instant, it quickly jumps to 05 seconds, then jumps to 07 seconds, and then remains unchanged at 07 seconds for a long time.

　However, Cong Yu herself was completely oblivious to this.

　If it weren't for the timeline displayed on the data terminal, accurate to the second, Cong Yu might never have noticed this problem.

　The problem is that, apart from that, Cong Yu realized that she was not affected by anything else.

　The only thing that worried him was that "time" really did match Moirai's power.

　So complicated.

　-

　"..."

　"..." A pair of eyes opened in the darkness, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects, and a woman's voice rang out in the darkness...

　"Faster than expected, earlier than anticipated."

　Moirai chanted this as if talking to herself, squinting at the endless night sky in the darkness.

　The sky is beautiful in this era.

　In the future, there will be very few opportunities to take in the magnificent starry sky... Of course, it doesn't matter to Moirai.

　Leaving aside the fact that she has countless opportunities to connect to future spacecraft to observe the distant galaxy...

　As a machine, she didn't have any interest in stargazing, at least not in her own opinion.

　Machines have no interests, only a mission.

　but……

　At this juncture where the mission of saving lives alternates with the mission of mourning, perhaps looking at the stars isn't so bad.

　At least that's what Moirai thinks at this moment.

　"Father, isn't the starry sky beautiful?"

　"..." Moirai didn't even look at the white doves fluttering towards him: "Aren't you going to Dente's side?"

　In response to Moirai's question, the white dove simply preened its feathers with its beak: "I won't go until I convince you."

　Throughout this time, the white dove kept telling Moira that the person named Cong Yu was trustworthy.

　This cycle of reincarnation might just be the end of everything.

　Moirai, who has participated in countless "what ifs," always scoffs at the idea of ​​"what ifs."

　This time is no exception.

　"It's almost over... Next time, I'll consider descending in a more cautious manner, deceiving more efficiently, and letting all of humanity die in blissful sleep through deception."

　As an AI, Moirai has a decent learning ability, and she has thoroughly analyzed the reasons for the failure of her plan this time.

　It's simply that what they did was too inhumane and too arrogant, which aroused human rejection and resistance.

　Next time, she'll definitely pretend to be a benevolent god who cares deeply for humanity, and then secretly carry out her plan to descend and end everything.

　No, she didn't even need to pretend, because that was who she always was... she was just doing what she used to do.

　"Cuckoo-"

　The white dove could only coo and say helplessly, "Father, can't you trust humans just one more time?"

　"Just like you said, Father, after countless failures, haven't you and Lan Tianzhu reached the finish line?"

　"It was just one failure."

　Moira didn't hide anything from Bai Ge: "It's the most hopeful chance after countless failures..."

　"There will never be a situation like last time, where everything was perfect. There will never be another one like that."

　"Blue Sky Isle achieved the birth of immortality, equivalent to the divine body sculpted by humanity as a whole, and I have also fully descended..."

　"But even so, they still didn't win in the end."

　White Dove: "???"

　Can't even two god-level combatants win?

　"Who exactly is the enemy?"

　To the white dove's words, and the astonishment in her small eyes, Moira continued gazing at the starry sky: "It is the materialization of fate and time itself."

　"It is my origin, the source of my power, a corner of the true 'god,' and the end of all things in the world."

　It claims to be—

　"The remains of a snake."

　Chapter 983 Time Titan

　Aside from the fact that time seemed to be starting to become disordered, Cong Yu's suppression and burning of "Chronos Thorns" were not hindered in any way.

　Even the "time disorder" itself is just a phenomenon, and it's hard to say that it's an obstacle.

　Finally, under the raging flames that engulfed the entire planet, Black

　The gray planet eventually turned into a gray-black planet.

　However, it wasn't the color of thorns, but rather the ashes left behind after those illusory extermination spells were burned.

　It still carried a scorching heat, covering the remnants of this planet.

　Generally speaking, with wood ash as nutrients, the land on this planet should be very fertile.

　Perhaps it will bloom with beautiful flowers next year?

　Unfortunately, it's unknown whether the magical plant ash composed of "extinction formulas" has similar effects...

　It might be a poison for the earth itself.

　That's hard to say.

　In the very end, the extinction spell transformed into a small clump of thorns, barely larger than a bouquet, twisting and struggling within a dark fissure.

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Is it resolved?]

　Cong Yu was too lazy to criticize his "pre-arranged statement" regarding his own extermination technique: "It might have been solved before, but now that you've said it, it can't be solved... I'm thinking, what's the way to eradicate the extermination technique?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu held the ghostly blue flame shaped by the power of faith... was she probably cosplaying as Azuma Nagisa?

　[Source of Darkness Apophis: As an extinction spell, your words are making me a little scared.]

　"Don't be afraid."

　[Source Darkness Apophis: I'm afraid!]

　"..." Speechless, Cong Yu decided to stop paying attention to Yuan An Apophis and just watched the thorns being burned to ashes.

　However, even if it is completely burned to ashes, it will still grow back from the cracks... because the opponent is an extinction spell.

　Cong Yu's attempt to destroy the "fissure where thorns grow" also ended in failure...

　Neither flames nor explosions matter.

　"It seems that the extermination spell cannot be eradicated, not even by the power of faith... The power of faith does not seem to be the highest level of power."

　Cong Yu said this with a slight sigh: "At least, certain 'rules' supersede the power of faith."

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Hearing you say that makes me feel much more at ease... At least I don't have to worry about you killing me to prove your path.]

　"Sacred gold."

　Cong Yu offered these two words as her assessment, then sighed and reached out, beginning to construct a framework with the power of faith: "Then, just like the previous fleshy tentacles... seal them with 'Time Stop'."

　Although I don't know why, things like "sealing" are quite effective, even if they are constructed with magic.

　Maybe they only have "locked health," but not "immunity to control"...

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu threw a ball of light imbued with the power of faith into the crack in the thorns.

　Then, upon contact with the ground, the ball of light instantly exploded, creating a static area.

　It wasn't very big, but it was just enough to completely cover the crack.

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Is this really a good idea?]

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Cronus, the Time Titan—won't using time stop to seal them off cause any unforeseen problems?]

　Cong Yu clapped her hands dismissively at Yuan An Apophis's unfounded worries: "It should just be a name, right..."

　"While the person who named it may have some connection to Earth mythology, I don't think the Thorn of Cronus can ignore time stop."

　As Cong Yu said this, looking at the motionless cracks and thorns within the time-stopped barrier, she said, "That's true... Let's go."

　Having said that, Cong Yu turned her head and began to call for the Jormungandr train.

　Then, the whistling wind quickly reached his ears...

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Watch out!]

　"Varied?!"

　The moment Cong Yu realized something was wrong and turned her head, the blade that Yuan An Apophis had transformed into collided with the suddenly erupting Chronos Thorns, producing a crisp sound.

　The loud bang, accompanied by a huge impact, caused Cong Yu to quickly take a few steps back before regaining her balance by leaning against the Jormungandr train behind her.

　In front of Cong Yu, [Source Darkness Apophis] was fiercely fighting against the rampaging and raging Chronos Thorns.

　The barrier of time that originally sealed the cracks in the Chronos Thorns is now slowly shrinking.

　It was neither shattered nor unaffected.

　Instead, it was as if it were being absorbed, its range gradually shrinking, while the power of the Chronos Thorns became increasingly terrifying.

　Even, in those brief moments, the thorns seemed to take on a divine glow...

　It's as if they absorbed the power of faith within the time barrier.

　"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

　Cong Yu couldn't help but speak up, and Gen'an Apophis immediately chimed in: "Cong Yu, move! Why aren't you moving?!"

　Ignoring the reference to Gangshin Akira's famous line, Gen'an Apophis, Murasame quickly retreated.

　Meanwhile, in front of and beside him, countless thorns surged like a tide, baring their fangs and claws as they attacked Cong Yu.

　However, the sharp thorns and the blades of Source Darkness Apophis eventually clashed in mid-air.

　It struck out with countless cold lights in the darkness.

　Then, it was quickly severed by the sharp blade formed by Cong Yu's faith power, and scattered on the ground, still writhing.

　"Able to swallow and time"

　"Interrelated forces?"

　Cong Yu muttered to himself, his brow furrowing slightly: "It shouldn't be aimed at me, right?"
