Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

I looked at Beta in amazement. What they wanted to talk about was the Diablo Cult. Did they want Pochi to die by dragging him into this?

"No, no, Pochi is here, most likely waiting for someone else, so he probably doesn't have time to accompany you. If you feel lonely and want to find a man, Natsume, I can recommend a few to you with just a phone call after the matter is settled."

"Do you want to die!!!"

Alexia rejected Beta's proposal without saying a word, and even made up an excuse, saying that Sid was busy and couldn't leave.

"Actually, I'm quite free right now. The person I was supposed to pick up had an unexpected problem, so I may not need to wait for her."

Having said that, Sid glanced at Beta, and Beta also lowered his head, not daring to look at Sid.

"Of course, I'm convinced that my friend didn't do it on purpose. She must have violated the rules because of an accident."

Beta raised his head again, and there seemed to be flashes of light in his eyes.

"This is the gift I originally intended to give her, but now it seems that I can't give it to her, and I don't like reading this type of book.

If you don't mind, I'll give it to you as a gift for our first meeting (reunion after a long time), how about that? "

He raised his hand to let Alexia and Beta see clearly what was in his hand, then handed the book to Beta and secretly gave Beta a hint.

“Of course, Yami… No, I mean I’m honored to receive a gift from you, Sid-sama.

I like this gift very much. I will treasure it as a testimony of our relationship. I believe today will be a day I will never forget.”

Ahhh! ! !

Dark... No, this is a gift from Lord Sid. This is a gift from Lord Sid. This seems to be the first time that Lord Sid has given me such a formal gift.

Can the other seven shadows do this? Can they receive the gift from Shadow-sama? No!

Yes, I am the only heroine of "Shadow-sama War Chronicle", only me!

Thinking of this in my mind, I took the gift from Sid with trembling hands due to excitement.

The moment she completely accepted the gift, she, who usually boasted of her excellent acting skills and the ability to easily deceive a bunch of cunning and treacherous senior executives, could not suppress the smile on her face at all, revealing a smile that came from the heart and was pure to the point of being purer.

Yes, in Alexia's eyes, the smile Beta showed at this moment was her real smile.

Different from the standard smile they usually develop due to etiquette and social interaction, this was a smile without any disguise, it was just a smile because of happiness. Perhaps it was for the same reason, Alexia could see it.

It sounds simple, but for people like them who frequently go to various social places, taking off their masks is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Without masks, how can they smile in front of people they don’t know or even hate?

Why is she worried about Natsume? Isn’t she the one who should be worried now? It seems that her pet Pochi is about to be kidnapped by someone!!!

At some point, the initiative that was originally in Alexia's hands had slipped away from her hands, most of it went to Sid, and the remaining small part was in Beta's hands. She?

Judging from the current atmosphere between the two people on the field, she is an outsider!

Unhappy, very unhappy.

Even though she knew that the two people in front of her were, one was her ally who was the source of most of her intelligence, and the other was a good friend who knew her true face, she still felt unhappy from the bottom of her heart.

Under the influence of the emotions in her heart, Alexia even felt that her head was a little heavier.

"Hey, hey, hey, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you two have met, Natsume, don't act like you and Pochi are very familiar with each other."

Seeing that the two of them were still looking affectionate after receiving the gifts (from the perspective of Alexia and Beta), Alexia couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted their eye contact.

"Also, Pochi, I advise you to stay away from this woman. She is not a good person."

After interrupting the eye contact between the two, Alexia turned around and started saying bad things about Sid, trying to reduce Sid's favorability towards Beta, but she didn't notice that Beta behind her was looking at her with lifeless eyes.

The scene in my "The Legend of Shadow" where the hero and heroine exchanged tokens of love was... interrupted, and this damn woman is now saying bad things about me to Shadow-sama!!!

Before the brain could react, the body had already acted according to its owner's first thought.

The slime liquid instantly formed a black sharp blade, which extended from the palm of the hand stealthily, mobilizing all the magic power in the body to swing it towards Alexia's back.

Feeling the movement of his body, Beta came to his senses and wanted to retract the attack, but... he couldn't.

Now this attack was too close to Alexia herself, only one centimeter away, and she reacted too late. Under the influence of the force, she couldn't stop the attack at all.

Even if she ignored the damage to her body and forcibly removed her strength and took back her magic power, Alexia would still be either dead or disabled.

So... I can only pray that Alexia doesn't die so easily. As for the explanation to the outside world, I can just say that I was suddenly controlled.

She thought of everything in an instant. Just when Beta was about to forcibly take back most of the magic power regardless of the endurance of her arm, her body suddenly seemed to be imprisoned... no, it was like being built into cement. Although she was alive, she could not move, and even the outside air could not be breathed into her body.

"the world!"

The world's time stopped.

Looking at Beta with a slight headache, Sid pressed his eyebrows and asked.

"Calm down now, Beta?"

Chapter 96: A World Where Time Stops

In the world where time stops, after asking Beta a question, Sid just looked at Beta quietly, waiting for Beta's answer.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.

As time silently calculated the passage of time, Beta remained motionless as he waved his knife at Alexia, but his face turned a little blue... turned blue!!!

Sid suddenly thought of something and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

The moment the sound rang out, Beta's body, which had been unable to move no matter how hard it tried, finally moved.

The air that seemed to have become solid began to flow again. After the body, which had been feeling uncomfortable due to lack of oxygen just now, sensed this, it immediately began to breathe deeply out of instinct.

"bump!"

Unfortunately, just as he took a breath, his body, suddenly freed, lost balance and fell forward, as if hitting a wall of air, making a crashing sound.

Fortunately, Beta's control was pretty good. He only hit the air wall once before reacting and controlling his body balance to stand firm.

After standing firmly, I looked around cautiously, but after just stretching forward a few dozen centimeters, I felt like I hit something.

"Don't touch it. That's stagnant air, not something invisible."

Seeing Beta's series of actions, Sid thought for a moment and began to explain.

Yes, the stop of time also stopped the flow of gas. Unlike the time stop in some otherworldly anime, Sid felt that the time stop ability he developed was quite scientific.

That is to say, if there is an ordinary person in this world where time has stopped and is not affected by "the world", he will just die quickly.

Flowing air truly fills every corner of the world, and once the air stops flowing, it is like an ordinary person being suddenly thrown into an underground dry concrete floor, unable to move at all.

In addition, the air has changed from gas to solid, so ordinary people can't breathe air into their lungs to absorb oxygen. They can only rely on the oxygen in their bodies for a few minutes at most.

Just like Beta's situation just now, he deliberately put Beta on the whitelist. The consequence is that the air that can be smelled everywhere and consumed by humans and breathed has become a shackle of bondage and an invisible weapon that kills people.

Later, he added the dozen centimeters around Beta to the whitelist, and the air within this range resumed its flowing properties and was consumed by Beta.

And even with this, Beta can only last for a dozen minutes at most, because within this range, there is only one Beta, a consumer, and no plants as producers. Once the oxygen is exhausted, it will die.

So, it is impossible to use time stopping to do something like in some otherworldly anime, because his "the world" is a real time stop.

To be precise, the time stop in some otherworldly anime is just a mere time stop. It can't even stop a person's blood flow or reaction nerves. It's just a large-scale immobilization technique.

If you can’t stop the movement of air, particles, and light, how can you call it stopping time?

As for why he can move around in a world where time stops...

He glanced at the air wall that was knocked open by him as his body moved.

How could the mere stopping of time be able to compare to his well-tempered body!

Under normal circumstances, most people who are not affected by time suspension are buried underground when they are in a world where time is completely stopped.

Then he is in a world where time is suspended, which is equivalent to swimming in the sea. It has some impact, but not much.

There is no need to worry about the air problem. His body has long overcome the shortcomings of needing water and oxygen. He has not tried it, but according to his estimation, he can try to get nutrition by eating soil or minerals.

"This is the first time I used 'the world' with someone else. I didn't control it well. Sorry, Beta."

While explaining to Beta, Sid thought about it and apologized to Beta. He took Beta for granted and treated him as himself and applied his standards to Beta. If Beta's extraordinary physique had not saved her life, she would have killed Beta because of her negligence.

Although this negligence was also due to Beta's strong physique, which made her hold on for ten minutes before her face began to turn blue, and he discovered Beta's problem, but he was wrong and he was wrong, and he would not deny it stubbornly.

But even with Betanar's poor elf physique, he can withstand ten minutes of hypoxia. I'm a little curious how long other strong people and special races can endure it.

Forget it, I’m too lazy to do this experiment. How strong can one be to die from lack of oxygen?

"First time! This is the first time that Lord Shadow has brought someone with him. Do the other seven Shadows know about this, Lord Shadow?"

"?"

Something is wrong with you.

Looking at Beta's expectant eyes, Sid remained silent.

He had always known that Beta had a somewhat abnormal admiration for him, but he had not thought it was this serious. You almost died just now! Died!!!

What you care about is whether you can show off this news to other people?

Glancing at Beta, Sid felt that she needed to help Beta establish correct values.

Chapter 97: Kirasaka Sayaka who hates men

"Sayaka, look, the place in front of us is my favorite place in the entire Gengami Island."

Looking at Himeragi Setsuna, who was full of excitement and holding her hand to introduce her to various places on Gengami Island, Kirasaka Sayaka showed a happy smile on her face.

She always wears a smile wherever she goes and expresses kindness to others. This is the little angel Himeragi Setsuna who constantly brings her happiness.

“Ah, it seems like I’ve been the only one talking since we met again.

Sayaka, you might not like what I just said, or you think I'm annoying and feel annoyed and don't want to talk to me, so you haven't said a word.

Sorry, sorry, my bad, I was a bit self-centered. "

"No, how could that be? I am very happy to be with you, Setsuna. It's just that you said it so well that I didn't say anything."

Seeing the embarrassed look of Himeragi Setsuna, Kirasaka Sayaka quickly gave a negative answer.

How could she be bored being with her little angel and listening to Himeragi Setsuna's voice?

To be precise, she was already very happy as long as she could be with her little angel, not to mention that her little angel was constantly talking to her. No matter what Himeragi Setsuna said, she had to express her unconditional support.

Even if she wanted to scold their master, she would call her an old woman together with Himeragi Setsuna. After all, if the old woman found out afterwards, the worst that could happen would be that she would punish her. It wouldn't be the first time.

"Really? That's great!

Now let me introduce to you the cafe where Sid took me to eat sandwiches after my first meeting. It is my favorite restaurant.

It’s a pity that things there are a bit expensive, and I haven’t been there many times since I came to Genkami Island.”

Except for the "Sid-senpai" who has been mentioned by Himehira Setsuna since she reunited with her.

She hated boys the most, let alone this boy who was suspected of stealing her little angel's heart.

She had known Setsuna when she was 10 years old, and it had been almost 9 years ago. They had long been closer than family members.

If she was asked to die in exchange for someone's life, she would harbor resentment towards that person, but if that person was Himeragi Setsuna, then she would simply complain that her enemy was not dying fast enough.

Because when she first met Himeragi Setsuna, her heart had already melted by the angel-like Himeragi Setsuna, and from then on she aspired to become a sister-like figure to Himeragi Setsuna.

In order to give Himeragi Setsuna the feeling that she is an older sister, she works harder than anyone else, trains later than anyone else, and is sent out on missions earlier by the Lion King Agency's higher-ups.

But now, she had just successfully rescued Himeragi Setsuna from the Lion King Agency's mission to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor, and now she knew that someone was suspected of taking her little angel's heart away. What the hell was this!

Kirasaka Sayaka's current mood is like that of a father who sees his cabbage being eaten by a pig, and a man who usually only dares to approach his goddess as a good brother, but suddenly sees his goddess being picked up by a stranger.

But she couldn't do anything to make the person who was suspected of taking the snow vegetable heart stay away from her little angel.

Because Himeragi Setsuna had already told her that the man named "Sid" saved her once, and her morality, conscience and reason would not allow her to do this.

But with the double debuff of misogyny and the fact that he had stolen Setsuna's heart, it was hard for her to feel any affection for that person.

To put it in a more specific and utilitarian way, if that person needs her help with something, then at most she will do a few small favors for the sake of the fact that that person saved her little angel.

Thinking of this, Kirasaka Sayaka's expression, which was originally smiling, suddenly turned much worse, but Himeragi Setsuna herself didn't see it.

"Yukina, could you please stop mentioning your senior all the time?

You know, I hate boys. I hate boys the most!"

As she said this, Kirasaka Sayaka subconsciously checked her clothes because of the gazes of the boys around her, and made sure that she was dressed tightly before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uh... don't be so extreme, Sayaka, not all boys have bad intentions, for example, Senior, he is very nice to me.

I think if you can meet the seniors once, you will understand this truth. "
