Chapter 932 - 45: Observer

Chapter 932: Chapter 45: Observer

Perhaps it was a moment, perhaps it was eons, but in this time stopped world.

As if locked by an invisible force field, so steadily standing in mid-air, the youth smiled as he looked at the unparalleled demoness opposite him, gently reached out his hand, and gestured to her, "So... Tamamo, would you like to join me?"

As for where to go?

He didn’t know.

But it felt like just by following the atmosphere of this moment, saying such lines would do... Don’t consider logic, don’t mind anything else, use heart! Just feel with your heart! Although this seemed a bit inexplicable, often times people go for this kind of thing.

At that moment when spiritual light burst forth, Gu Mo felt a sense of enlightenment.

Hm, although indeed he had started to become skilled, is it possible that the speed of this skill is too fast, it seems like not long ago he just began, and already within a few minutes he had quickly accustomed and adapted.

——Could it be, he really has great potential?

——Such a thought emerged in his mind, Gu Mo promptly expelled it, can’t let such strange thoughts linger.

But speaking of it, it’s really amusing, Miss Fox Spirit unexpectedly is pure-hearted, at this point she had already stopped thinking, as if her brain had overloaded and crashed. If it were in a cartoon, it would probably show her blushing, steam coming from atop her head...

At this moment, she wasn’t thinking too much, just incredibly flustered and at a loss.

Flustered, chaotic, and absent-minded, nearly instinctively wanting to flee, yet forcefully staying put out of sheer will, with her eyes wandering, unsure of what she’s thinking...

Just managing to do this was already the limit.

"..."

"..."

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, feeling that whatever she expressed wouldn’t convey her feelings. Fearing that her unconscious reverence and panic might make the Master think she is refusing, thus feeling disappointed, her face turned crimson as she nodded repeatedly.

Like a little chick pecking at rice, only knowing how to nod, the speed fast enough to leave afterimages.

Gu Mo: "..."

Should this be said as too reserved, or not reserved enough?

But this is fine, he maintained that smiling expression, continuing with overly aggressive gaze and the created peculiar ambiance, stably controlling the atmosphere on-site, drawing Miss Fox Spirit deeply in, unable to extricate herself, dizzy following his rhythm.

Just like this, silently transferring back the initiative...

Turning it around, making Tamamo unable to stand, this is the most suitable way to subdue a fox spirit, when facing her, solely defending is inappropriate...

"Alright, Tamamo, lift the Earth’s crustal movement, don’t make things too big..." The youth spoke kindly, simply asking, not saying much more, just plainly requested Miss Tamamo no Mae not to cause trouble.

"..."

"..."

Miss Tamamo no Mae still did not speak, she only continued nodding repeatedly, seeming totally compliant with the Master’s wishes.

She originally had no interest in destroying the world, just made some posturing after descending; though the Earth itself wanted to cleanse the current ecological circle, destroying the human world altogether, eliminating this creature already vaguely threatening the planet itself’s trend.

Born as a UO, descending into the world her clone, naturally received clear calls from the planet’s will itself.

However, this doesn’t mean she has to unconditionally execute this task, earlier actions were just doing something along the way, soothing Gaia’s will, making the Earth temporarily rest... anyway, one could cancel the process anytime, reversing everything, so it’s not a big issue.

Despite smoothly proceeding, Gu Mo had a subtle sense of discord.

He twitched his eyebrows, showing a peculiar expression, seeing Miss Tamamo no Mae’s current gentle and obedient demeanor, for a moment, he wasn’t quite accustomed.

Though indeed grasping Miss Fox Spirit’s weakness, prescribing the correct remedy, but...

Isn’t the effect a bit too strong?

However, considering, just like many single dogs who theorize profiundly, analyze thoroughly, explain methodically, yet themselves are uncertainly as pure-hearted. Miss Tamamo no Mae’s situation is somewhat similar, she probably truly lacked experience in dealing with this aspect.

"First, first lift the time stop... then I can revoke the previous action..."

The nine-tailed goddess’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum, blushing with her head bowed, she swiftly lifted her head, glanced around, and then said softly.

Currently, the entire Earth feels enveloped in a time bubble thousands of kilometers in diameter, where time has stopped, all motion ceased.

Under such conditions, rituals were forcibly stopped, mystery succumbs to higher-level mystery.

The crust movements she initiated earlier, injecting immense energy into the deep core, inducing a series of chain reactions, naturally froze along with the process. While it didn’t continue, it couldn’t be canceled either, as the planet no longer responded to her thoughts.

Magnetic field, weather, gravity...

The environmental co-sensing felt in her heart earlier, now seemed as if losing WiFi connection, without the planet’s info flow and data access, rendering her unable to issue new commands.

"Hm, I’ll now lift the spell... right, have to trouble Tamamo to act alongside me in a play."

Gu Mo slightly smiled, it’s best if Miss Fox Spirit cooperates so willingly. Looks like the wrapping up work for this dungeon world won’t be too troublesome, his gaze slightly shifted, looking at the twin witches frozen at the distant horizon’s end.

Kenshan Yellow Springs and Togami Kagura...

Their hidden settings were initially discarded plans, but within one’s thoughts traces inevitably remain. Just like Gaia’s will found the necessary "Killing Stone," Araiyer’s knowledge also found the chosen executor.

Needle against wheat awn, once Gaia’s will obtained the method to interfere with the material world and genuinely created the end-device –

The human collective subconscious naturally began to take action by starting the creation of defensive devices.

The end-device is the Killing Stone, a device for specific regions or objects on the planet, akin to an unstoppable natural phenomenon. Then the defensive devices naturally are represented by the Yellow Springs Sisters as the Black and White Witches, since aside from this, Araiyer has no other choice.

There was no way for it to just awaken and immediately summon heroes from the Heroic Spirit Throne to solve the problem, right?

After all, facing the suppression forces of nature, the suppressive forces belonging to the human world ultimately pale in comparison.

"Understood..."

Taking a glance at the two Black and White Witches in the distance, Miss Tamamo no Mae whispered, probably understanding what Master intended to do. She squinted slightly at the two girls, although previously sensing the celestial mandate over them, it was just that.

Since she wasn’t a villainous Great Demon King to begin with, and with Master saying so, she might as well play along with them.

"Additionally..."

Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, wanting to discuss how to solve the trouble caused by Tamamo earlier.

The misunderstanding caused for Yatsugaya Miko was already a foregone conclusion unless now they concoct a story for when time resumes, delivering new lines to correct the situation. After all, Miko was playing the role of an observer but did not realize she could decide the world’s direction—

If she could confirm the new "facts," they would naturally override the previous results.

Plus, the world line direction Miss Tamamo meddled with earlier wasn’t set in stone as an absolute truth, so fixing it wouldn’t be a major issue.

But as the words reached his lips, Gu Mo decisively took them back, choosing not to say anything further. Having just placated the little fox, it was better not to bring up this sensitive topic again. Instead, he would directly dispel the illusion technique later to solve the problem from its root.

Taking advantage of the previous opposition struggle, which delayed the world line from completing its convergence, directly revoke the ultimate illusion of reality alteration.

—Even though his intention to solve the problem of evil spirits in this world ultimately differed completely from the path the world took...

—And the experiment data he wished to collect was insufficient, failing to meet initial expectations...

However, things never progress smoothly without any fluctuations; he did not come away empty-handed.

Whether it was attempting to interpret principles akin to weaving phenomena, trying to enhance the power of lies, or based on the possibility of the former two, aiming to explore domains similar to the Reality Gem, he gained some insights.

After all, the power possessed by the Reality Gem is the ability to transform fantasies into reality, rendering all scientific rules and natural laws meaningless.

As long as the user wishes, all falsehoods could become real.

Compared to acquiring the Time Gem, Gu Mo preferred to draw this trump card. Although he did not succeed, inevitably contemplating his Technique Power, since his most relied Power of Lies was a similar existence, once upgraded to the extreme...

Then wouldn’t he be able to achieve similar effects?

Furthermore, he happened to have come into contact with some related domains that seemed capable of becoming stepping stones; without researching, he wouldn’t give up.

......

...

Time—

Resumed its flow.

No one could discover that time itself had been frozen for a period.

To them, everything seemed seamlessly connected, the magical unfolding never halting for a moment. And at the instant time resumed flowing, inside the Moon 380,000 kilometers away, a command was received and immediately a wave was released.

Reversing and neutralizing the previously emitted light of a certain wavelength.

The miracle covering the world, the grand ceremony, the ultimate illusion thus fragmented, shut down fundamentally by the caster. Simultaneously retracting the "Virtual Position" within the technique’s operation process, under the circumstance where even the permission owner remained unaware, reclaiming the correspondent control permissions and technique anchor points.

—As if accepting all this unknowingly, while reclaiming simultaneously were conducting it unknowingly.

—That was consciousness correction of the entire world from one’s own vantage point as a strong observer with permissions.

However...

"Uh... this is..."

In the distance, Yatsugaya Miko faltered, suddenly sensing as if something fundamentally changed, the world appeared the same yet seemed different.

"Feeling a bit dizzy... What’s happening to me, is it low blood sugar..."

A slight dizziness appeared in her mind, causing her to gently hold her forehead, and with the other hand grip the nearby table to steady herself, while sensing an unusual feeling in her eyes.

In a flash, numerous incomprehensible images flickered before her eyes.

The material world began reconstructing itself anew in her vision; time, space, lines all collapsed in her thoughts.
