Chapter 949: Unlocked Time Loop

Chapter 949: Unlocked Time Loop

After inviting Ji Xing into the inner hall, Luminas was still thinking about what she had just seen.

Like, it’s really similar.

Because of her "obsession", she knew every detail about the woman sealed in the Holy Ark. Therefore, after careful observation, she found that the little girl with black hair and black eyes was almost cast in the same mold as the other one.

The proportions of the three parts of the face and five parts of the eyes, the eye color and the hair color are exactly the same. If the little girl doesn't grow ugly in another 10 years, she and her "treasure" will probably look like twin sisters.

No, she is the summoner, and Chronoa lived more than two thousand years ago. He was a well-known and powerful hero. It should be impossible for her to have any connection with that little girl.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Ji Xing say, "Her name is Chloe Oberu."

Luminas paused: "Chlo..."

Is the spelling of the name slightly relevant as well?

She felt a little strange and unhappy, knowing that her abnormal state had been discovered by the perceptive Ji Xing, and snorted, "I am not interested in the name of a human girl, I just think she looks like someone I know."

“Yeah, they are the same person.” Ji Xing smiled, “Chloe and the brave Kronoa.”

"……What did you say?!"

Luminas stood up suddenly, her delicate and perfect face full of gaffe. If people who knew her saw the Queen of Night Demons acting like this, they would probably be shocked. Fortunately, Hinata was accompanying five children to visit the church. Besides Ji Xing and her, the only person in the room was Pope Ray.

Rei obviously knew that the ice coffin that Luminas cherished contained Chronoa. He was also shocked at this moment and asked on behalf of Luminas, "Master Ji Xing, what are you talking about?"

"It's time travel."

Ji Xing explained: "The ultimate skill God of Time and Space caused all this."

"Time travel?!" Luminas sat down slowly. "You mean... that girl will travel back to the past one day in the future because of her ultimate skill and become the Chronoa I know?"

After all, she was a vampire queen who had lived for thousands of years and was well-informed. She quickly analyzed the meaning of Ji Xing's words, but still couldn't hide her shock and asked, "How did you know? What proof do you have?"

"I also have time-space skills that allow me to escape the time loop." Ji Xing of course learned this from the original work: "As for how to prove it... let me tell you about 'history'."

"The turning point was Rimuru's awakening. If Rimuru had not been intercepted by the Hyuga on the day when the Kingdom of Farmus attacked, she would have been able to return to the Demonic Federation in time, no one in the Federation would have been sacrificed, and she would not have been determined to annihilate Farmus's 20,000-man army."

Ji Xing narrated slowly: "She failed to awaken at that time, so her power was much weaker than it is now. Although the trouble caused by Clayman was easily solved, allowing the Demonic Federation to develop steadily for five years, she was unable to deal with the subsequent invasion of the Eastern Empire.

During these five years, Chloe grew into a 17-year-old girl and became good friends with Rimuru. Before the battle against the Empire, Rimuru gave her an anti-magic mask and faked his death in the war with the Eastern Empire.

"Anti-magic mask?" Luminas murmured. When she met Chronoa, he was indeed wearing a unique anti-magic mask on his face.

"Rimuru's fake death happened suddenly, and there was no way to inform the Demonic Federation. The Federation was also destroyed by the Empire later. These things led to Veldora's rampage. In order to prevent the Storm Dragon from destroying everything, you, Hinata, and Chloe stepped forward to stop it. As a result, during the battle, Hinata was ambushed and killed. Chloe's ultimate skill awakened, absorbed Hinata's soul, and traveled back to more than 2,000 years ago with Hinata."

"Evil Dragon...and Hinata?!"

"Hinata was very familiar with you, so they, who were two souls in one body, found you first and found a place to stay. Later, your Night Palace was destroyed by the Storm Dragon Veldora. Chloe said goodbye to you and became a hero under the name of Chronoa.

What happened after that is relatively clear. Chronoa gradually became the strongest hero and sealed Veldora 350 years ago. Oh, in that battle, Hinata was controlling Chronoa's body to fight, which can be considered revenge.

Then, two hundred years ago, young Chloe traveled through time and space to come. Because of the identity of time and space, there cannot be two Chloes at the same time, so after that, all Chloe was Hinata. It was not until Hinata came to this world that the brave Chloe fell into hibernation. "

Luminas was in a daze.

Because many places matched, she half believed Ji Xing's story. No wonder she always felt that Hinata was somewhat familiar. It turned out that Hinata had controlled Chronoa's body?

At this point in time, Hinata has not experienced time travel, so he is unaware of it, but his kindness and character will not change.

"No." At this moment, she suddenly discovered the problem: "You said that when Hinata came from another world, it caused Chronoa to fall asleep? There is a problem with the time. Chronoa was still active after that. It was a... confused state!"

That's why she was sealed in the Holy Ark!

Luminas stared at Ji Xing unkindly, as if to say, "Don't think I'm that easy to fool." Ji Xing shook her head and said, "Here is a rarer piece of knowledge. Above the ultimate skill, or after the mature ultimate skill is named, a stronger 'mind core' may be born."

"...Sanity core?"

"Well, the God of Time and Space has his own will because he was named Chronoa by Hinata and became the core of divine wisdom. You can also think of Chronoa as another personality of Chloe."

"...One more thing! You said Chloe came to this world two hundred years ago?"

"Ah, with Demon Lord Leon, but he was summoned to a similar era by Kagurazaka Yuuki right after that, causing Leon to keep searching for Chloe." Ji Xing laughed.

“…The directional summoning that Leon has been researching is also because of her? Chloe?” Luminas was surprised, but compared to other things, this little thing is nothing.

The changes in time and space are always difficult to understand, but everything can be connected. Combining some of the details she knew, Luminas believed most of it and asked again: "The initial change is whether Rimuru awakened as a demon king? This time... why was she captured by Hinata?"

"In order to save the five incompletely summoned children, Rimuru used his skills to help them contract with high-level spirits. Chloe contracted with the 'Elf of Time' from the future, which was herself. This caused her to vaguely awaken some memories, delaying Rimuru for a while."

Ji Xing said: "In fact, Chronoa's time travel has happened countless times. All of us have been trapped in this time loop of more than two thousand years. Until this time, the cycle was finally broken."

Rimuru becoming the Demon King is the key to breaking the cycle. Of course, in fact, the cycle could no longer continue the moment Ji Xing invaded, but Ji Xing did not dare to act recklessly before.

The time and space travel in this world is different from that in other worlds. Unlike the Dragon Ball world, every time space travel will generate a parallel world.

Time travel here can truly change history and the future. Chloe's skills are even enough to carry the entire world through a continuous cycle for more than two thousand years until a turning point appears.

According to the development of the original work, there will actually be another cycle - Granbell's actions caused Hinata to die again, and she and Chloe entered the time and space loop again. This time, they told Luminas everything and asked Luminas to tell Rimuru to save them, completely ending the cycle.

But obviously, those things will never happen again. Granbell disappeared after Ji Xing dealt with the Six of the Seven Stars, and Youshu even ran away to the Eastern Empire. The plot line has been broken.

So Ji Xing chose to tell Luminas all this and untie the knot of time and space by himself!

Trapped in the time loop for who knows how many times? At this time, Luminas could not help but have some associations. This guy in front of her said that he also had the ultimate time-space skill, which allowed him to escape from Chronoa's influence. Did this mean that he had experienced the same thing many times?

In the repeated cycles, his accumulation did not reset, which brought him such powerful strength and allowed him to know many secrets, allowing him to calmly face the demon king like me?

Luminas imagined the source of Ji Xing's confidence that everything was under control, and curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but she believed Ji Xing's explanation even more.

"I can't believe these stories completely." She tried to ask, "Do you know where the hero Chronoa is now?"

"Isn't it in your freezer? You go to check it every day and ask me?" Ji Xing said with a smile.

Luminas's face flushed instantly: "That is the Holy Ark! And I am going to study how to unseal it for my friend!"

"Don't get excited, I didn't say anything else."

"..."

Silence him, you must silence him! This guy knows too much, damn time and space skills!

Two vampire teeth appeared from Luminas' mouth, and her red and blue heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Ji Xing's neck, trying to figure out how to suck his blood.

"Please calm down! Queen!" Seeing this, Rei, who had not yet sorted out the logic of time and space, hurriedly said: "We still need to buy skills from Master Ji Xing!"

"..."

Luminas was unhappy with the low cut, and knowing that she couldn't beat Ji Xing, she found a way out.

"I will slowly check on Chronoa. Last time you said you would sort out the skills that can be sold for my subordinates to choose from, right?"

Ji Xing waved his hand and the skill book fell into his palm. He handed it to Luminas and flipped through a few pages. "They are all here. These ones are especially suitable for you. I recommend you buy them."

"...Blood conversion? Blood-red land? Why does it even have vampire skills?"

"You learn a lot of different things."

Luminas couldn't help but think about it as before, isn't this a skill that I, the future concubine, developed myself? You're selling it?!

……

Leaving Luminas to slowly choose her skills, or to digest the news she had just received, Ji Xing left the inner hall.

After telling Luminas the story of Chloe, Ji Xing, who possesses the ultimate skill, the Lord of Science, keenly sensed something different.

The cycle of time and space has been completely broken, and the power of the God of Time and Space on the entire world is dissipating.

He found Hinata and the children, and heard Ken's surprised and suspicious voice from afar: "Really? There are hundreds of thousands of people participating in the selection of Paladins every year? How can there be so many!"

Hinata said softly, "Because all the young people in the Western countries are proud to join the Paladin Order, of course there will be a lot of people. In two months, on August 8th, it will be the annual Paladin selection. Ruberios will become very lively. You can come again then."

"Two months later..."

"Isn't tomorrow August 1721, 8 in the Holy Emperor's Years?" Ji Xing's voice floated over, causing Hinata to lose the gentleness she showed in front of the children and turn her face stern again.

"tomorrow?"

Today is June 1723rd, 6 of the Holy Emperor Era. The time Jixing mentioned was almost two years ago, but Hinata paused for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, I'll take you to see it tomorrow."

"Oh!" The children cheered, but Chloe just stood there dumbfounded.

Jisung smiled at her.

The cycle of the God of Time and Space ends.

It’s my turn to be the master of science!
