First Player

Su Mingan chose to go back, and the eleventh week has been completed. Whether it was all the talismans mastered by Master Li or the conditions for the alien king's recovery, he had kept them all in mind.

 …

　　【Su Mingan's Death Rewind: Seaside, 3pm. (Number of rewinds at this critical time point: 5 times (before seeing the prophetic stone wall) + 9 times (after seeing the prophetic stone wall))]

 …

Su Mingan stood in the evening breeze, and time seemed to be a long river going back in his eyes.

 “...how many times?” Someone arrived as expected.

Su Mingan turned around and said with a smile, "First time."

"What do you want to do next?" Su Wensheng said: "This is not a safe place. It is very close to the home of the gods. You have nowhere to escape."

Even if Su Mingan learned about the conditions for the alien king's recovery, it would be too late. As long as Su Mingan doesn't get close to the prophecy stone wall now, the gods will come to arrest him.

"Of course there is a chance to escape." Su Mingan smiled: "Help me, okay?"

 At the exchange of glances, Su Wensheng immediately understood what Su Mingan meant.

 “Which one do you like?” Su Wensheng raised his eyebrows.

 “The one that’s not too painful.” Su Mingan said.

With a dull sound, Su Wensheng's hand penetrated Su Mingan's chest. Blood dripped on the yellow sand, and was washed into a light pink color by waves of waves.

The black earrings reflected the broken light, and Su Wensheng was smiling: "I'm sorry, I don't have a weapon on me, I've wronged you."

Su Mingan spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the sky. The sea and the sky merged into a bright blue color. It was so beautiful that it made his mood feel like the clouds had lifted up to see the sun and all the dust had disappeared.

"It doesn't matter."

 He quickly fell down.

 …

　　【Xiao Su's return: Last night, eleven o'clock in the evening. (Number of rollbacks at this critical time point: 1 time.)]

 …

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

 He was sitting in the inner room of the church, with delicate flowers on the bedside. The blue moonlight shone through the window and dotted his eyes. He covered his face and laughed softly.

 As soon as he knew that he had Xiao Su's retreat, he thought of a very interesting way to break the situation.

 It is known that rollback can only go back to a certain key point in time. Over a period of time, no matter how many times he goes back, he will only return to the same critical point in time.

 However, the critical time points of the two retracements do not overlap. His own death retracement is at 3 p.m., and Xiaosu's retracement is at 4 p.m.

 Suppose - he triggers the Xiaosu retracement after 4 pm, it will return to 4 pm. If he triggers his own death retracement, he will return to three o'clock in the afternoon. It looked like it had been blocked, because even if it was Su Mingan's own retracement that was triggered, it was only an hour earlier. An hour doesn't change anything.

—But, if at this time, he triggers Xiaosu's retracement again.

 This time is three o'clock in the afternoon. The key time for Xiao Su to return is four o'clock in the afternoon. Going back can only go back to the past, and cannot allow him to go to the future. Therefore, before the critical time point of "four o'clock in the afternoon" has been reached, Xiao Su can only go back upstream until he finds the previous critical time point.

 Looking at it now - it was eleven o'clock in the evening the day before, when he was sleeping in the church.

As long as he stays away from the sea and the location of the gods, he does not have to be forced to go to the prophecy stone wall and can find a way to meet the conditions for the alien king's resurrection.

 This is the method he had thought up early on to break the situation - [Alternate Return]. Like the torch in the hand of a fire bearer, as long as you return to a critical time point, you can trace back to the previous critical time point.

"However, there is an additional danger..." Su Mingan stared at the door.

 With a sound of "Bang!", the door opened wide.

Li Mingyue with cold eyes broke in.

—Because this is Xiao Su’s return, the gods must know that Su Mingan returned from the eighth day to the seventh day. It is very likely that the gods will block him here.

 But he would not know that Su Ming'an had already seen the prophecy stone wall, because Su Ming'an's own return at three o'clock in the afternoon had already covered his memory. He would only think that Su Mingan was suddenly killed by Su Wensheng at the beach at three o'clock in the afternoon and returned to the seventh day. That was enough to make Him feel something was wrong.

When the gods feel something is wrong, they will summon all the forces to try to initiate a world reset. He couldn't kill Su Ming'an, so he called Mizushima Kawakora.

"Do I really want to arrest Su Ming'an?" Mizushima Chuan Kong broke the window and stood between the broken glass, with a face filled with hesitation. This was an order given to her by the gods, but she didn't want to do it.

 “Control him—do it!” said the spirit.

The black knife flashed, Mizushima Kawakora gritted his teeth, and the sharp black light struck at Su Ming'an, but Su Ming'an got there first and stabbed his own temple with annihilation.

 Under the shocked gazes of the gods and Mizushima Kawakora, Su Mingan fell down.

 …

　　【Su Mingan's Death Rewind: Seaside, 3pm. (Number of rewinds at this critical time point: 5 times (before seeing the prophetic stone wall) + 10 times (after seeing the prophetic stone wall))]

 …

The sea breeze blew Su Mingan's black hair. He stared at the waves in front of him and sighed.

…Knew it.

 “Real time” is the most critical river.

 Suppose the key time point of "three o'clock in the afternoon on the eighth day" is set as time point A, the time outside the dungeon at this time should be "the thirty-first day of the opening of the tenth world".

 Suppose he uses Xiaosu to go back to the previous time "11 o'clock in the evening on the seventh day", set it to time point B. At this time, the time outside the dungeon will not be reset with Xiao Su's return, but will continue normally and gradually reach the "32nd day of the tenth world".

 His death rollback overrides everything else. It does not look at the time in the tenth world, it only looks at the time outside the copy, that is to say - it only considers the element of "real time".

When Su Mingan triggers his own death rollback at time point B, he will no longer return to the key time point before "11pm on the seventh day" like the alternate rollback, but will only return to "3pm on the eighth day." Click "this time point A", because for the time outside the copy, he returned from "the thirty-second day of the tenth world" to "the thirty-first day of the tenth world". If he can go back in time and return to a time point like the "sixth day" or "fifth day", then it is no longer compatible with "real time" and does not meet the situation where Su Ming'an's death has the highest return status. .

 So, [Alternate Retracement] is only applicable to one situation - the critical time point of Su Mingan's death retracement is before the critical time point of Xiao Su's retracement. Only in this case can you alternately go back to an earlier time point. If the critical time point of Su Mingan's death retracement is after the critical time point of Xiao Su's retracement, then no matter how the retracement is triggered, it will not move forward.

 After Su Ming'an thought for a moment, he asked Su Wensheng to kill him again to trigger Xiao Su's retreat.

 …

　　【Xiao Su's return: eleven o'clock in the evening. (Number of rollbacks at this critical time point: 2 times.)]

 …

 The blue moonlight shines on the eyelids, and the flowers in the church are fragrant. The moment Su Mingan opened his eyes, he got up and ran away.

 “—Control him.”

The voice of the gods came from behind, followed immediately by Mizushima Kawakora's pursuit.

The sound of gold and iron clashing was heard in the air. Su Mingan raised her hand, and Arman's sword crossed Mizushima Kawakora's blade. The jet black color on her blade spread rapidly.

 “Shua!”

There was a soft sound, and a dark shadow appeared on the ground—this was Mizushima Kawakora's skill, Shadow Summoning.

 She is good at darkness, annihilation, and shadow. Ultimate destruction, ultimate dissolution.

The space cross light emerged, and Su Mingan stepped onto the mechanical wheel. The moonlight overlapped between their sights, like a cold ice blade. Mizushima Kawakora's pale face was reflected in the moonlight, and his pupils were like alert cats, staring at him.

 The crystal crown on her head is so dazzling. The golden arc pendant flying around the neck is also extremely shiny.

Multiple shadows appeared faintly in the sky - blue birds holding long bows, standing behind the clouds and mist. Xue Qixia held a sniper rifle and aimed it at Su Mingan. Beavis held a long sword and stepped on the aircraft. There are also several figures with wings spread out floating, staring at this side eagerly.

The fire burned in front of Su Mingan's eyes. The sword in Mizushima Kawakawa's hand was engraved with patterns praising the gods, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a vague shadow.

 “Why.” Su Mingan said.

 …Why should we obey the gods?

Mizushima Kawakora's face was calm, and he stared at Su Ming'an with half resentment and half helplessness.

More and more people gathered below, including students from the church, soldiers from Daoya City, teachers from the school, and Lu Shu who rushed over... They looked at the massive battle in the sky.

“—Su Ming’an! I’ll call Yamada and the others to come over and help you!” Lu Shu shouted from below.

Su Mingan had no time to respond to Lu Shu. He stared at Mizushima Kawakora. She became the lackey of the gods, and her strength was no longer what it used to be.

“Tell me...why. Tell me why I want to become a goddess.” Mizushima Kawakora said slowly.

“Because the gods showed you a person who looks very much like your sister. Do you think that in this vast universe, you have found her?” Su Mingan said.

"Haha...hahahaha...really? Is this what you think? Yes, you should think so - you think I am a selfish person -"

 Sad and angry laughter, crazy laughter, helpless laughter.

Her laughter burst out suddenly, high-pitched and bright, reminding Su Ming'an of Mizushima Kawaharu's last desperate laugh in the rain that night. What they have is almost the same look in their eyes.

Mizushima Kawakora raised the sword blade high, tears streaming down his eyes:

“—Because the ninth world does not have my origin—don’t you understand?!”

Su Mingan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

 He felt a drizzle of rain on his face.

"Every time - every time I see you starting with such a high position - do you know how I feel?" Mizushima Kawakora closed his eyes: "Every time - I see you have such a powerful ability - even - this kind of helplessness Human ability—you know how I feel?”

Her miserable smile was also like a vast drizzle.

"Why did fate judge me like this? Before I had finished the world game, it pronounced on me that I could not survive until the end of the world game? Why didn't fate show me my origin? Why did it want to Taking away my only relative, why should I be born as a 'goddess' instead of an 'old god'?"

"Do you think I want to become a god? But if I don't become this 'goddess', what should I use to face you, a guy who is born as an 'old god'? What should I use to complete the main mission? This game—"

 “Su Mingan.”

Until this moment, her tragic smile faded away, her voice suddenly calmed down, and her expression was as cold as a freeze.

 “You are a born winner.”

"If I were the 'Old God', if I were 'Su Shaoqing', if I were the 'Detective', if I were 'Su Wensheng' - I will not lose to you."

“It was the game mechanism that destined my defeat, so that I could only use despicable means to get close to your level. So in your eyes, I became a ‘despicable person’.”

Su Mingan slowly raised the sword blade.

"Go back." Mizushima Kawakora smiled bitterly: "Go back...you have such an ability. Every time, every time, no matter what achievements I have made, as long as you go back, they will be erased. Even if I say now All this will also be erased... Therefore, I never intend to win against you. It is not necessary and impossible. You should win until the end."

 She smiled that desperate smile again.

Su Mingan lowered his eyelids.

 Her cognition has been confused.

 She had mistaken the Xiao Su Huitan on Su Ming'an... as the highest level of Huitan.

 “You will regret it if you become me.” Su Mingan said.

“No.” Mizushima Kawakora said firmly.

Su Mingan just shook his head: "I can just see those despairs by myself."

 He stared at Sora Mizushima: "Make a deal with me."
