Kurumi Tokisaki was genuinely looking forward to a surprise from Arlin, and this was not the result she wanted.
"Kurumi doesn't seem satisfied?" Yalin noticed the girl's mood beside him and asked knowingly.
"Lin-kun is really mean-spirited." Tokisaki Kurumi gripped Ayrin's hand slightly, venting her dissatisfaction.
"No need to rush to conclusions. Seeing is believing, isn't it?" Seeing that this extremely evil elf was somewhat vulnerable, Yalin felt a little pleased.
"Heh, playing with a young girl's heart is not a good habit." Tokisaki Kurumi was skeptical, but still held a glimmer of hope.
The two strolled through the castle, unnoticed by anyone thanks to Akarin's magic.
It wasn't until Ayrin and Kurumi Tokisaki arrived at the hall that they saw the figure on the throne, a girl named the White Queen.
She was dressed in a snow-white military uniform, her right pupil still crimson, but her left pupil was a deep blue astronomical horn, and a military knife and an old-fashioned pistol hung at her waist.
Resting on the throne, he was unaware of anything amiss.
Kurumi Tokisaki then stood before her, staring intently at the White Queen.
Despite their strikingly similar faces, she felt a unique sense of familiarity and nostalgia.
This is definitely not just due to the clones; as for the reason...
Kurumi Tokisaki stared at the other person, her pupils instantly contracting, and she subconsciously gripped Ayrin's hand tightly.
Sawa!!!
The White Queen before us is also Sawa Yamada?
Even with her strong mindset, she couldn't hide the shock she felt at that moment.
Under Mio Takamiya's manipulation, she killed her friend Sawa Yamada, who had gone completely berserk after fusing with the spirit crystal of the Flame Spirit.
This was one of the countless sins she bore, and the beginning of her determination to take revenge on Mio Takamiya.
But now, Sawa has reappeared before her. Even though she looks completely different from before, Kurumi Tokisaki would never mistake her for someone else.
But why?
Kurumi Tokisaki's thoughts were churning, and she almost lost control of her emotions.
After taking a deep breath, she suppressed her shock, switched her way of thinking, and calmed down.
Seeing this, Yalin's lips curled slightly, and then he took the initiative to release the girl's hand, which was already clenched by the girl.
"Next comes the time for old friends to reunite, and I might be getting in the way. Whatever your fate with her may be, I will not interfere."
Of course, we shouldn't make too much of a commotion, and we shouldn't let her reveal our whereabouts.
Yalin was very interested in what was about to happen. The White Queen's feelings toward Tokisaki Kurumi were quite complex, a mixture of love and hate.
However, whether the two sides are locked in a love-hate relationship or reconcile, he will hinder the plot's development.
Therefore, this stage is left to the two of them.
Yalin was not worried about Tokisaki Kurumi's safety.
As a spirit, even a useless Nia can still indiscriminately kill other spirits, let alone Kurumi Tokisaki.
Even if the White Queen possesses the Mad Emperor, she would still be no match for Tokisaki Kurumi.
The moment he released her hand, the White Queen immediately opened her eyes and saw the long-awaited Kurumi Tokisaki.
After a brief moment of shock, her eyes flashed with nostalgia, hatred, and murderous intent. Finally, she gripped her military knife and pistol tightly and gave Tokisaki Kurumi a radiant smile.
"I don't know why you suddenly appeared here, but it's been a long time, Kurumi-kun."
She then rose from her throne, looked down at Kurumi Tokisaki, and drew her shogun's sword.
It has a kind of imposing air about deciding the outcome and life or death.
Seeing this, Kurumi Tokisaki pulled herself out of her past thoughts, sighed softly, and realized that she had to fight first.
...Regarding Liu Jiuyi's umbrella...
"As expected, the timeline of the neighboring world is quite different from that of Earth." Yalin strolled through the third realm, observing the battle between Girl VII Zero and analyzing the rules of the realm.
Upon his first arrival, he vaguely sensed that the flow of time in the neighboring world was not entirely consistent with that on Earth.
The time when the quasi-spirits fell into the Neighborhood varied greatly. For example, Tokisaki Kurumi's friend, Yamada Sawa, died more than 20 years ago, but Kurumi's reverse clone did not.
However, both arrived in the neighboring world at the same time and merged into one. With Sawa Yamada providing the soul and Kurumi's inverted form providing the body and abilities, the White Queen's initial form was formed.
Yatogami Tenka Mirai also used Takamiya Mio's spirit crystal to temporarily create a world with a time scale many times different from Earth's.
Ultimately, this is a completely different world, and it is not surprising that there are differences even though we are adjacent to Earth.
His gaze fell upon the center of the third domain, and he stepped into it.
Volume 1: Chapter 132: Why are you just watching? (4k)
Having mastered the realms of kingdoms and wisdom, Yalin was adept at analyzing and eroding point masses.
As long as Tokisaki Kurumi is in this domain, he can share the Time Spirit's permissions and establish a connection with the domain—Understanding.
Data streams appear in his eyes, constantly transforming the rules of this world into visible information.
With the addition of the "Hacker's Peak" talent, Wu Liu became even more adept at analyzing the rules of the world, increasing his efficiency several times over.
Each talent has an incredible effect.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the domain, Yalin watched with great interest the battle between Tokisaki Kurumi and the White Queen.
Seemingly to allow her former friend to vent her anger, Kurumi Tokisaki did not immediately end the battle, but instead fought the White Queen to a standstill, an act that could be described as letting the sea go.
Realizing this, the White Queen became even angrier and her attacks became even more ferocious.
After the fusion, the White Queen possesses the way of thinking of Sawa Yamada, but her personality becomes as twisted and tyrannical as Kurumi Inverted, and she fights with a dual desire for revenge against Kurumi Tokisaki.
However, the gap between the two cannot be bridged by emotions alone.
Kurumi Tokisaki took the opportunity to keep asking questions, trying to get the answers she wanted while interfering with the White Queen.
Suddenly, she has become ruthless over the years, willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
But if she had a choice, she would not want to kill her friend again, even if the other person's mind was different from before and was no longer that gentle girl.
The two sides remained deadlocked, and *Yue-Yi/* first/fired a gunfight to make friends.
"Next, shouldn't Tokisaki Kurumi grant me a request?"
What should we ask her to do?
As Yalin watched the great battle, he thought of the promise the other party had made.
Without a doubt, Sawa Yamada was Kurumi Tokisaki's initial regret and one of the pillars that supported her to keep moving forward, so its importance can be imagined.
If the requests made of her are too easy, wouldn't that be a disservice to her sense of importance?
However, a problem arises: after analyzing Zafkiel, Kurumi Tokisaki doesn't seem to have any particularly noteworthy abilities.
If there's no need to demand functionality, then aesthetics become the only option.
"When I was shopping with Nia earlier, we happened to go into a cosplay store. I'll have Juna buy that store when we get back."
Yalin's thoughts wandered, and he became very interested in this.
In that shop, the useless elf dressed up in quite a few character costumes for cosplay. Even though she was just a flat-chested person, she looked unusually sexy when dressed up.
Even Yalin couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, finding it hard to say that Erya lacked charm.
When choosing spirits, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mio Takamiya selected only exceptionally beautiful girls.
If Kurumi Tokisaki were dressed in a maid outfit, a bunny girl outfit, a succubus outfit...
Thinking this, a sense of anticipation actually arose in Yalin's heart.
"Tsk, I've been corrupted by Nia and Kurumi. These two spirits have always been lewd, and they've made me a pervert too."
He suppressed his thoughts and focused on his work in the third area.
The entire neighboring world can be viewed as a whole Kabbalah Tree of Life.
If he can gain dominance over the ten key elements represented by the ten domains, his control over this world will be greatly enhanced, and he may even be able to influence the core Paradise of Reincarnation.
Even for Mio Takamiya, the Paradise of Reincarnation she summoned before was only a part, not the complete form.
Only in the neighboring realm can she unleash her true power without any restrictions.
However, after Yalin's plan succeeds, it's uncertain who will ultimately call the shots in this neighboring region.
Even if they couldn't immediately seize Takamiya Mio's status as the master, they were essentially the second master. By doing so, they could interfere with her powers and bring Takamiya Mio down from her near-omnipotent state.
After defeating Mio Takamiya, he will be able to become the ruler of the neighboring world.
"On another note, the neighboring realm can contain the souls of the dead, allowing them to exist there. It functions similarly to Heaven and Hell."
However, this world only accepts beautiful girls, and the probability of being accepted is extremely low.
As the progress bar for Yalin's analysis slowly increased, the battle inside the castle also came to an end.
Kurumi Tokisaki pressed the muzzle of her gun against the White Queen's temple and asked seriously, "You want to use the energy of the neighboring world to change the past?"
Even though she was fully engaged in the battle, the White Queen was still inevitably defeated.
She looked at Kurumi Tokisaki, a hint of regret in her eyes.
The White Queen's hatred for this friend was genuine, but what she truly desired was to rewrite everything.
Even if the neighboring world is destroyed, as long as the past can be rewritten, she can still live, still be Kurumi Tokisaki's friend, and everything will return to normal.
Unfortunately, she didn't know who had turned her into an elf; otherwise, she would have added killing the murderer to her goals.
Of course, if this goal cannot be achieved, killing Kurumi Tokisaki and then dying together with her is also an option.
"No wonder you're best friends, your thoughts are surprisingly similar."
Listening to their conversation, Yalin couldn't help but mutter a comment, deeply moved by the situation.
He did see it: the reason why Sawa Yamada was so extreme and could maintain her obsession for so long was because she had merged with Kurumi 2.
Having acquired the body, one inevitably becomes influenced by the Demon King who reverses Kurumi's power.
Of course, Yalin didn't tell Tokisaki Kurumi this, but it wouldn't be difficult for a girl with her intelligence to realize it.
