Chapter 66 A Brief Rest
And so, this is how things turned out.
While it was good to have a chance to breathe, it was still very difficult to find a way to counter Time’s Tomb within a single day.
Because that thing, it stood directly opposite the Moon, constantly asserting its presence.
Moreover…
…
“Elus, Lonis the Hero, do you have time?”
“Mm, we’re free for now, Xiao Ling. What is it?”
Just as they were about to search for clues, Xiao Ling had already appeared before the girls.
“Well, actually, Captain Luo Bei ordered me to tell you all the current intelligence from the ground.”
“Intelligence…”
“That’s right. In fact, under the influence of Time’s Tomb, various anomalies have already appeared all over the world.”
“!”
…
Lonis looked at the intelligence provided by Xiao Ling and realized that although Time’s Tomb had been stopped by everyone, a part of its power had already begun to affect Earth.
Some lives had already begun to exhibit “reverse growth.”
For example, an elderly person in their seventies suddenly reverted to youth, and many grown young people turned back into children.
Although it sounded like a good thing, as people essentially gained a second life and a chance to start over.
However, the most important thing was…
Their memories had also been completely reset.
In other words, a seasoned mechanic, who might have worked at a power station his entire life and could fix anything, had now become an intern. If a problem occurred, perhaps no one would be able to maintain these facilities anymore.
Because of this, a certain degree of chaos had already erupted worldwide.
Many systems were also affected, and the underlying code had become completely unreadable and unmodifiable.
…
…
“No wonder human civilization has regressed… So, it was also because of Time’s Tomb?”
Lonis blinked, suddenly understanding why she couldn’t see so many electronic devices or mobile phones in the future.
Elus narrowed her eyes, a look of great distress on her face: “No, at least in the history that I know of, Time’s Tomb has never appeared, and the disappearance of electronic devices and mobile phones was due to other reasons.”
“!”
“But should we say that time has a certain convergence? No matter whether you choose path A or path B, you will eventually reach the same destination…”
“This…”
“I probably have some ideas. Although Time’s Tomb is terrifying, it is also a product that belongs to the laws of causality. It must have some weakness that can be exploited.”
…
After speaking, Elus fell into thought, as if searching for some answer.
If it were an outsider, they would definitely not disturb Elus at this moment. However, Lonis knew that although her black-haired princess was intelligent and highly capable, she often got stuck in a rut.
If she couldn’t figure it out, then there might be a problem with her thinking, so it might be better to change her mood and do something else.
So…
…
“Elus, shall we tour this space station?”
“Ah ha, tour? Idiot maid, what time is it to be touring? The boss is already at our doorstep!”
“Let’s consider it as finding inspiration… Mm, let’s go look over there first!”
…
Just like that, Lonis pulled Elus along and began to patrol the space station.
A thousand years later, although the girls had been to the bright side of the Moon facing Earth, they had never visited the dark side of the Moon, where the extermination cannon was located.
Therefore, Lonis’s eyes lit up at many of the facilities here. The silver-haired girl, as if discovering a new world, excitedly said, “El, Elus, look, what is that?”
“That?”
“Mm, that thing that looks like a pool. It’s so pretty…”
…
Walking into a hall, Lonis found a pool of water emitting a radiant glow, shining brightly like a mirror.
“Ha ha, Idiot Lonis is just an idiot! This thing is a purified liquid made from a Magic Gemstone solution along with many other substances.”
“Oh… purified liquid?”
“This liquid has many uses; it can be used for power and illumination. However, this liquid is placed here to be used as a Teleportation Gate.”
“Teleportation Gate…”
“Of course, and this room should be used to connect to a teleportation point at a certain location. If there’s any anomaly, support can be provided from here… Wait, something’s wrong!”
…
As Elus was explaining, ripples suddenly began to spread across the surface of the purified liquid.
The pool was shallow, only about 30 centimeters deep, but in an instant, a black-haired girl climbed out of it!
…
“This is…”
“Who are you?”
…
Upon seeing the newcomer, Elus immediately became vigilant.
Because not only was the other party’s hair black, but her entire body was black… and the blackness wasn’t the black of an African person, but a glossy black like latex!
Moreover, except for covering her vital parts with something like a band-aid, she seemed to be wearing nothing else… The girl climbed out of the pool just like that, her gaze meeting Elus’s without any reservation.
…
“Please state your identity, because I don’t recognize you… otherwise, we may forcibly subdue you.”
Elus was also not polite, as she couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be unrest within the headquarters at this moment.
However…
The black-bodied girl simply smiled slightly:
“Oh? Are you from the future? What a coincidence… I am also here to reclaim ‘the future’ now.”
“Reclaim?”
“That’s right. To prevent you from attacking in advance, let me introduce myself. My name is Jeyuri. I am the Chief Scientist of the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom. This is my identification.”
“Jeyuri?!”
…
…
Upon hearing the other party’s self-introduction, Lonis was startled.
She did not forget that Jeyuri was the commander of the first Apocalypse Independent Kingdom that Eight-tailed Fox had spoken of in the past.
She was also a robot with computing power and lifespan incomparable to humans… So, why had she come here?
…
While Lonis was still confused, Elus suddenly seemed to have discovered something and trembled with surprise.
“You just said… you came to reclaim ‘the future’?”
“That’s right, as expected of the Hero Elus from the future, you are indeed intelligent.”
“Heh, thank you for the compliment. But you, you guy…”
“Elus, what’s wrong?”
It’s not good when your wife is too smart… Many times, Lonis felt like an idiot, completely unable to keep up with Elus’s pace.
…
“Hey, Idiot Fox… Have you forgotten Castor’s experience?”
“Castor’s… experience?”
“Mm, he grew up in the Apocalypse Independent Kingdom since childhood, growing up as an experimental subject. His initial strength was not strong, and it was only after experiencing much pain that he became who he was later…”
“!”
Lonis also widened her eyes in surprise.
Suddenly, she understood… what was going on.
