Another World: My life is on the hook!

The painter didn't speak, not even when he left.

There is no certainty.

There was no denial.

But as he progressed along the way, and as he gained a deeper understanding of the true nature of that calamity, even he had no idea whether he could separate the Great Lord from it.

Because in a sense, that Great Lord had already become the most important component of that calamity, because he... was a part of the order of the Lord of the End.

Lynn did not get the answer she wanted.

he left.

He once again transformed into a soaring raven, plunging into the long river of time and history.

But just as he was about to leave, he still heard what she said to him.

"If I did anything wrong, I'm sorry."

But when he looked at her again, the place was already deserted.

……

……

"Hey, which point in time should we go to next?"

Zuo Zuo asked curiously.

"Did you understand the discussion between me and the painter just now?"

"Ha, (￣^￣) Of course I couldn't possibly understand!"

"..."

Ok.

The fact that he frankly admitted his shortcomings in such a proud tone is enough to show that Zuo Zuo has made great progress! Zuo Zuo is no longer the useless left hand that used to pretend to know a lot when he didn't!

Lynn flapped his wings and soared towards the more distant past, saying:

"The war of time is synchronous. From the moment this war begins, every attack they launch in the past will be reflected in history. Regardless of whether they launch attacks in separate groups or set traps for us, we must rise to the challenge and keep them out of history!"

Lynn's eyes reflected the vast river of time, and for him, this war had only just begun.

But he also knew at the same time.

This war is never-ending.

Because they will return again and again, while you dare not slack off in the slightest, and you may not even be able to return to your own point in time.

And if we want the future to reach the end of that time...

"I must also strive to reach that ultimate essence as soon as possible."

Linn's eyes flashed.

Or rather, even if he doesn't reach that final qualitative change, he still needs a sufficiently large amount of black fire, because he has already thought of a way to prevent the Time War from happening again, and if this method works, it will definitely be able to curb the terrible impact that the Time War has on him.

that moment.

Lynn's flapping wings left endless trails of black fire, enveloping the entire river of history in his wake in a blazing inferno.

For him, the path to covering the entire river of time with his own black fire would be a long and arduous one.

……

And it was after that day.

Lynn also truly stepped into the vast torrent of this war of time.

"Head!! Ghost Alley!! Those damned bastards! They actually tried to attack you at this time! You're so cute with your silly face, they're so ruthless!!"

"It was when you first stepped into Night City, Brainy?! So... so they infiltrated even back then! Damn it, Brainy, you actually bullied me back then! Do you know that we from the future have seen everything?!"

"This is... the upheaval in Night City... they were actually there at that time..."

This war has penetrated almost every nook and cranny.

At first, Zuo Zuo was still in high spirits, fiercely gripping Lynn's knife each time, and trying to rush over before Lynn could even make a move.

But as the war repeated itself day after day, gradually, not only Zuo Zuo, but even Lynn felt the tedium brought about by the repetitive nature of it all.

Because since then.

For almost the next thousand or so battles, they never saw that figure in black again.

And what they faced.

They are no longer formidable adversaries.

Instead, it was a relentless onslaught of nightmares that, with their current strength, could be crushed with a single finger.

"There are too many of them; they are making an unlimited invasion of history!"

Lynn said in a deep voice.

Or.

They know it won't be effective, yet they keep harassing the entire river of time, and you can't just ignore it.

"But what is the point of doing this?"

Zuo Zuo was puzzled.

Knowing they were no match, why did they continue this relentless harassment? They should know that as long as Lynn didn't stop, the moment they stepped into history, she and Lynn would appear quickly and crush and drive them away.

As for restraint, it doesn't really mean much, because Lynn also has unlimited time to further elevate the flames in his dream.

Lynn gazed at the river of time and said:

"Boring and monotonous, that is indeed a method. I don't know if that's what they're thinking, but if it is, then we need to be on our guard."

It's like launching a top-level invasion just when you've gotten used to the monotony of countless unchanging invasions.

That's you back then.

Is it still possible to adapt to this inertia-driven defense?

And soon.

The first time war that nearly changed the course of history occurred.

Time: 851 years ago.

And it was on this occasion, when Lynn sensed the shift in time and instantly appeared at that historical juncture, that dozens of Nightmare Demons appeared almost simultaneously. However, they did not descend upon Hell, but rather upon a remote, technologically advanced world, and immediately began slaughtering the creatures of that region upon their arrival.

Lynn appeared as quickly as possible and suppressed them.

However, almost instantly, the course of history changed dramatically after he left that point.

The butterfly effect!

Lynn's expression changed drastically.

That was also the first time he had been careless.

Because time has a very strong capacity for self-conditioning. Just like stepping into the past, if only a single insignificant life dies, it won't cause too much of a change in future history. But as the saying goes, if someone travels back in time and kills someone's grandmother, will that person still be born? And if that person is someone who can have a huge impact on the entire historical trajectory at some point in the future, how would you deal with that?

When he understood all of this, he also saw the cause and effect.

That was his teacher.

One of the people killed by those nightmare demons in that remote world was an ancestor of his teacher from a previous generation, before he fell into hell.

How absurd!

But this small cause and effect, at the moment the butterfly flapped its wings, directly affected his trajectory in the future hellish era. Because of this small change, the person who adopted him was no longer his Bloodsaw teacher, but someone else. And because of the cause and effect between his teacher and the Doll Lady, he could no longer even come into contact with the Doll Lady.

Thus, a terrifying chain reaction ensued.

Many people have been cut from his history; they no longer know him, no longer have any connection with him, and are no longer friends or partners.

But if all the historical trajectories were to change, would the final version of him still be him?

Even at the moment he left the river of time.

Even his left hand looked completely bewildered, because she no longer knew who the "Blood Saw" he mentioned was, and she felt a blur about the doll maker and the doll lady. She spoke of other names, other people he didn't know who he had encountered in the changing history...
