A thought suddenly popped into Xia Jia's mind.

But a glance at Kato Megumi beside him instantly dispelled half of that idea. He then opened [ST]'s contacts, but found no record of the players being out of contact.

He patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief:

"Thank goodness. It wasn't me who wore it."

So here's the question: if I didn't time travel, then who did?

Before her mind could process what was happening, Ms. Kato gently poked Natsuka's lower back with her finger and said in a soft voice:

"Captain~, if we don't act soon, that little girl will be eaten by the monster."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Shaga snapped out of his daze, quickly assumed a charging stance, and activated the electromagnetic device on his combat boots. This time, he wasn't using it to fire, but rather to launch Shaga's entire armor as a projectile.

The flash started, and the figure became blurred.

Friction reaches zero, electromagnetic laser is activated...

"Dragon's Sky-Splitting Kick!"

Shaga, enveloped in electromagnetic force, transformed into a bolt of lightning and swiftly traversed a distance of over a thousand meters, kicking the Minotaur behind Belle.

Before Shaga could even complain about why the Minotaur had appeared on the 49th floor, a large number of monsters had already turned to ash in an instant.

Belle only felt a flash of golden light, and the monster's roar behind her disappeared.

She turned around slowly, dazed, and saw Xia Jia standing up, clutching her aching back.

"You, who are you?"

Upon realizing that someone had saved her, she quickly bowed and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much! Thank you for saving me!"

Shaka scratched his head, looking helpless as he approached Belle:

"Honestly, it seems like you're being chased by the Minotaur no matter where you are..."

Belle was stunned: "You, you know me?"

Shaga remained unmoved and instead asked:

So, are you now a "rising star" or a "swift rabbit"?

Belle's instinctive answer:

"Yes, yes, I am White Rabbit Swift Foot..."

"That's it..."

Shaka pondered for a moment, then glanced at Kato Megumi, who had followed him as a ghost, and said:

"This is not the place to talk. I'll take her back first."

……

The Mansion of Stardust.

A dreamy starlight rose, and the two reappeared in Shaka's bedroom.

Xia Jia patted his bottom and sat down on the sofa, while Belle stood there awkwardly, looking around.

When she looked at the sky outside the window, she was quite surprised:

"That's amazing, they returned to the surface from the underground city in an instant."

Shaka remained expressionless.

"Alright, don't worry about these trivial things. Let me introduce myself first. I am Shaga, the leader of the Astrea Familia."

"Asteria? That's not Miss Ryu's clan, they've all already..."

"Yes, Ryu is my senior, and I am the second leader of the clan."

Belle's expression was conflicted: "But, but Captain Xia can already roam freely in the deep layers, right? I've never heard of Miss Ryu's familia having such powerful adventurers before..."

Shaka struck a pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari and said:

"You're quite cautious. But unfortunately, your situation is a bit special. I have some experience with this, so... at least here, let's put aside 'common sense' for now."

Belle was intimidated by Shaga's imposing presence and obediently knelt on the ground.

"Tell me," Xia Jia said, opening her often squinting eyes. "What's the situation on your end?"

Belle thought for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened to her:

“I remember, before I appeared in the Great Wilderness, I was fighting the Destroyer with Miss Ryu... and then... I was eaten by Lambton.”

"Then, we went through a lot in the depths, and almost died. Finally, we blew up the arena with firestone and fell into a deep pit. After that, I lost consciousness."

"When I woke up, I found myself being chased by the Minotaur in the wilderness."

At this point, Belle's expression suddenly turned panicked, and she grabbed Shaka's shoulders excitedly, saying:

"That's right! I have to get back as soon as possible! Liu, Miss Liu is still in the maze! Commander Xia, please, please come with me to rescue Miss Liu."

Xia Jia said helplessly, "Calm down. The current situation is not about saving people at all."

This calmed the anxious Belle down.

Shaga lowered his head in deep thought...

"According to what you're saying, you should be level 4 now, in the process of the Maze Death March, but why don't you have any wounds? Also, it's very strange that the Minotaur is there."

Belle shook her head: "I don't know either."

Xia Jia couldn't figure it out for a while, but it could be directly categorized as an unknown dungeon.

The reason Belle is here is most likely because of the "Jewel Sword" that Shaga concocted.

The illusion constitutes this magic, and it will not interrupt the casting. Just like the old man in Konosuba, if you force it, the result will be all sorts of "problematic" items.

They may be ridiculously powerful, capable of destroying the world at will, but along with their immense power come all sorts of strange side effects.

However, Shaga, the creator of the jeweled sword, had no idea what kind of side effects it would have.

Bringing people from parallel worlds to this place might just be one of the side effects.

The reason it was Belle is probably because she carries the burden of "luck".

After a brief exchange of information with Belle.

Shaga sighed:

Let me briefly explain the current situation to you.

"Just as you thought, you should no longer be on the original timeline... or rather, the world line."

"The Orario you are in now is three years before you became an adventurer. In other words, the so-called goddess Hestia did not descend to the mortal realm. In this world, you are still an 11-year-old kid, and it is not even certain whether you are male or female."

Belle stared in disbelief: "How could this be?!"

Shaga continued:

"This is the concept of parallel worlds. Unlike timelines, it's possible for gender to be reversed, for new characters to appear, or for time travelers or reincarnators to interfere."

"However, based on the information you provided, those things shouldn't exist."

Belle lowered her head in disappointment: "Three years ago... if Lady Hestia wasn't here, why would my favor still be effective..."

Xia Jia shrugged: "I don't know about that. Maybe you didn't actually come here, but were just a projection of your consciousness, or a continuation of a dream. Once your body awakens over there, you'll be able to go back naturally."

At this point, Xia Jia said seriously:

"Speaking of which, your appearance might be related to me, so I will do my best to help you."

"So, tell me, if we go back to three years ago, or even to the present where we can't interfere with each other, what is it that you want to accomplish?"

Belle pondered for a long time: "I just want to become stronger as soon as possible, and then go back to pull Miss Liu out of the abyss."

Chapter 325 Belle's idol is...

"Become stronger..."

Shaga pondered for a moment and asked:

"May I ask you a question? Who saved you when you were first chased by the Minotaur?"

Belle was puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with making me stronger?"

Xia Jia replied succinctly, "Um...it's okay. It won't help you with your current problem at all; I was just a little curious."

Belle is currently in the maze, and without the ability to upgrade her abilities, her longing is basically useless.

But who doesn't gossip? Shaka was also curious to know who Belle's idol was in her timeline.

Could it be Bert?

Haha ...

Shaga watched Belle with interest, waiting for her to reveal the truth.

Belle blushed, fidgeted with her fingers, and mumbled, "Yes, it's Miss Liu."
