I started with Demon Slayer, and after drawing the strongest character, I'm invincible!

Fyodor's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Chuuya Nakahara and Kouyou Ozaki around him. Dazai Osamu was planning to rob them outright.

Gogol was also intercepted by Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Tsk, one wrong step leads to another. He underestimated Gojo Satoru's strength, which is why he didn't get the meteorite in Europe.

He had considered the possibility of this happening when he went on the meteorite adventure back to Yokohama with them, but Dazai Osamu came too fast.

"I can give you what you want, but are you sure that will really work?"

Since things had come to this point, Fyodor did not resist. Even if Dazai Osamu got the item, it wouldn't be a loss for him.

Although he failed to achieve his goal, it would have been just as beneficial for him if Dazai Osamu had succeeded.

"Give it a try. If you succeed, great; if you fail, it won't be too bad."

Dazai Osamu said indifferently, "Anyway, they don't have any other choice."

"Ha, you're right, things couldn't be worse than they are now."

Fyodor chuckled and handed a small box to Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu opened the box, glanced at it, and then closed it. He then instructed Chuuya to separate and imprison Fyodor and the others.

-

Buckle up!

"Come in."

Dazai Osamu pushed open the door and, unsurprisingly, saw Edogawa Ranpo there.

"Oh, it's Dazai. You got the item so quickly."

After glancing at the newcomer, Edogawa Ranpo resumed playing with 666, engaging in a deduction game with him.

If he wins, he can ask 666 for a snack; if he loses, the game ends.

He has achieved remarkable results so far, and his table is full of snacks and desserts.

“Satoru is in the study. Go find him yourself.” 666 pointed to the study and gestured for Dazai Osamu to go in.

When Dazai Osamu saw Gojo Satoru, he was engrossed in reading. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Gojo was reading a comic book.

Osamu Dazai:......

"You're here, have a seat." Gojo Satoru took a moment to greet Dazai Osamu before returning to his manga with great interest.

Dazai Osamu sat opposite Gojo Satoru, lost in thought, despite his nonchalant demeanor when he spoke to Fyodor.

In truth, he wasn't so indifferent; this was a high-stakes gamble, and the stakes were the future of the world.

"Wu, I need a meteorite." He wasn't one to procrastinate; if he was going to do something, he'd start as soon as possible.

"You got the [book]?" Gojo Satoru put away the comic book; he had previously guessed that the [book] was with Dazai Osamu.

However, he later discovered that something was amiss. The book was indeed in Dazai Osamu's possession, but only half of it remained.

Well, to put it simply, the book is in two pieces, one half is in Dazai Osamu's hands, and the other half is in Fyodor's hands.

Although it sounds absurd, the book is currently in a state of division.

“Hmm, Fyodor is a smart man.” Dazai Osamu was a little surprised that Gojo Satoru knew about this.

However, considering that he can even instantly kill those who have transcended, it's not surprising that he would know about this.

Gojo Satoru took out the meteorite. In the world's setting, the [book] symbolizes the essence and rules of the world and has the power to rewrite it.

The words written in the [book] will come true, but there must be a cause and effect relationship. Under normal circumstances, the [book] can be used to change the current situation.

However, the current situation is that relying solely on [books] is useless.

Because the black mist is not only a product of this world, it also possesses external forces.

Simply put, the power of the [book] itself is not enough to rewrite the world, but the meteorite is.

By combining the two approaches, writing down their thoughts in a book can change the current situation.

For example, it is possible to restore the timeline of this world to before the appearance of the black mist.

Do you know how to use the power of a meteorite?

Gojo Satoru looked at the books that Dazai Osamu had laid out and almost laughed.

What was he thinking, gluing the book back together after it was torn in two?

"Howard left us something that's useful for meteorites."

Dazai Osamu took out a small, black knife and a small box. He then placed the box on the edge of the meteorite and began scraping it with the knife.

Gojo Satoru: Huh? You can do that?

He suspected that the Howard that Dazai Osamu was talking about was not the real Howard. Howard was penniless, so where would he get all these good things?

While Dazai Osamu was scraping the stone, he picked up the [book] that was glued together.

Then I discovered that this glue was also quite unusual; it was somewhat like the sap of the World Tree.

Wow! Merlin has so many amazing things!

He was now quite certain that the Howard who gave these things to Dazai was Merlin in disguise.

"Alright, you can keep the meteorite. Howard said it will be useful to you."

Dazai Osamu scraped off a small box of fine, misty ash, closed the box, and left it to stand.

"If you knew how to use meteorites, why didn't you go and get them back sooner? Don't tell me you didn't know where they were."

Osamu Dazai, who possessed half of the book, must have known the location of the meteorite long ago, and could have found it even without Fyodor's guidance.

"It's simple, because we have no way to deal with those mutated transcendents."

Dazai Osamu honestly stated that Verlaine and Rimbaud were not in Yokohama, and their strength was insufficient, so they could only wait for reinforcements.

"After all, not everyone is as powerful as you, able to easily defeat them."

Ah... Dazai Osamu's words make a lot of sense, so he was just a tool?

"This is... a pen?"

Gojo Satoru watched as Dazai Osamu opened the small box. The fine dust from the meteorite inside was gone, replaced by a pen.

"Yes, use it to write [a book], to combine the power of the [book] and the meteorite."

Dazai Osamu immediately began writing down passages in the book, the content of which they had already discussed.

They want to turn back the timeline of this world to before the appearance of the black mist, so that the black mist will never appear in this world again.

His eyes shone as he stared at the words in the book, waiting for a miracle to happen.

In a daze, he felt an invisible energy sweep over him, and the outside world became brighter.

"Huh, it's working." Gojo Satoru looked out the window at the drastically changed world.

The black fog that had permeated the city had disappeared, and even the streets in the distance were bustling with people.

Upon hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Dazai Osamu ran to the window and stared blankly at the world outside.

No, if the plan succeeded, why is he still a child? Shouldn't he have turned back?

"Dazai, you've succeeded." Edogawa Ranpo entered the study, already aware of the changes outside.

"Yes, but why didn't we turn back?" Dazai Osamu looked at Ranpo blankly.

Does this mean that everyone is still like a child?

"I don't know either. Let's go find the president and the others first."

Edogawa Ranpo also found it a bit strange. Logically speaking, they should have returned to normal as the timeline changed.

Gojo Satoru:......

He finally understood why Howard had emphasized protecting the main characters.
