I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

"World (Red)": Time stops for nine seconds, one hour cooldown, no consumption.

Lucius:? ? ?

Time stop?

Damn it, what she told me at the beginning was clearly short-distance teleportation!

48-Wow, that's awesome! (Two in one)

Time to stop.

As the name suggests, it is the ability to pause time.

The specific manifestation is generally that everything in the local space or the entire world comes to a standstill, and only the user can move freely in the static time.

This ability is almost synonymous with "invincibility", and in fantasy works, it is usually only the protagonist or the final boss who can master it.

Now, this terrifying ability belongs to a cute girl who is as lovable as a little animal. It is really unimaginable.

The last time Lucius saw a similar gift was on Shadow Guard Miranda, but all she could do was slow down the flow of time in a small area, and every second of maintaining that area would place a huge burden on her body.

And what about Nora?

In terms of effect, she can directly pause time for nine seconds.

In terms of scope, it doesn't mention the entire main material plane except for the Supreme Heaven and the Realm of the Eternal True God, two places where the concept of time does not exist.

As for side effects, she has no side effects at all when using her abilities. The only drawback is that she can only use it once an hour.

Six hundred and sixty-six, I don’t even want to act anymore!

Plotina has to pay a price to modify her cognition now!

Lucius originally thought that Plotina's boundless consciousness was exaggerated enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone even more outrageous than her.

Fortunately, Nora is not a witch, otherwise...

Wait, wasn't there one called [Age of Stagnation] in the doomsday ending that the system originally showed?

The appearance of the witch is inevitable, and the end of the world depends on who first grasps the root divine power that belongs to him.

Before this simulation, Lucius would never have thought that Nora had the potential to become a witch.

But in reality, her lie that time stopping was teleportation had made Lucius realize that this little girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes was not as honest as she looked.

Haha, no wonder when she showed me her gifted ability before, the distance of vertical teleportation would be greatly shortened. It turns out that she can't jump high.

Alas, even Nora is like this. Is there anyone else in the main material plane who is worthy of complete trust?

Probably only Ivelia.

"Nora! I'm here to play with you!"

Plotina happily stepped forward and gave her little sister a big hug.

"Sister Plotina..."

The green-haired girl blinked, still looking a little confused.

After Plotina released her, she cautiously cast a curious gaze towards Lucius.

"He's Lucius, my new friend, and I hope you can become friends too."

Noticing Nora's look, Plotina immediately began to introduce them.

"Hello, Nora."

Lucius extended his hand to the girl openly.

"Hello, Brother Lucius, I've seen you..."

Nora didn't dare look Lucius in the eye. She just raised her hand and shook it gently with him, then shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

"Am I that terrible?"

Lucius pretended to be helpless and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hehe, Noila Mo is a bit introverted, don't think too much about it, it will be fine once you get to know her better."

Plotina explained cheerfully.

Judging from the perceived emotions, Nora is just shy now, and she is in a pretty good mood.

But isn't Nora's voice much softer than usual?

It's probably an illusion...

Lucius: It feels quite strange.

In reality, he is obviously Nora's best friend, but now he wants Plotina to introduce Nora to him. This is really...

I feel like I'm being overwhelmed by Plotina.

By the way, where did I first meet Nora in real life?

I think it's in the Imperial Opera House?

At that time, Old Deng was discussing with Chancellor Otto about equipping the Eastern Army with new equipment, and Lucius and Nora naturally came together.

"Okay, okay, that's the end of the introductions."

"There's no time to lose, let's get down to business!"

Plotina excitedly slammed the script onto the table.

"this is?"

Nora tilted her head, confusion crossing her face.

"This is the script for the play. Let's try to perform it together. Lucius and Nora, you two will be the male and female protagonists!"

"Then what are you doing?"

Lucius was a little surprised, as he thought Plotina would leave the heroine to him.

“I’ll be the director.”

Plotina explained as if it was a matter of course:

"I haven't told you clearly before, but I prefer being a playwright or director to being an actor playing a role in a script."

"It's so interesting that I can make others do what I want them to do just by writing a paragraph or saying a few words."

"One day, I will definitely create my own script, and then I will invite you, Lucius, to be the protagonist."

Lucius: ...

Turtle, it turns out that you can already see some signs of a crazy person during this period?

You like others to obey you so much, Hakina, you are really a man of control...

Do you still want to invite Brother Lu to be your male lead? Brother Lu is also selective about the scripts, and he won't accept any scripts that are not harem-themed.

"Okay, okay, I support you. If you create a film, I will definitely participate unconditionally."

What you think in your heart is one thing, what you say with your mouth is another.

Although Plotina felt that Lucius was just trying to please her, she only pouted her lips slightly.

When you care about someone, your tolerance threshold for him can always be infinitely raised.

"Eh?"

Throughout the whole process, only Nora was still in a state of confusion:

"Heroine? Me? Can I?"

Nora took the script and flipped through two pages, and her porcelain-white skin was soon stained with a thin layer of red mist.

"I am the heir to a family, but I fell in love with the daughter of a rival family." Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is a love story.

When I opened the script, I saw that every page was filled with the words "love" written in a crooked manner. It was so corny and straightforward that it was too shocking for a child.

Besides, it would be a bit too exciting for her to perform this type of drama with a boy she just met.

However, if it was Lucius...

Nora stole a glance at Lucius's profile.

"If you don't want to, just refuse directly. I also think that the script chosen by Plotina is not very suitable."

Lucius seemed to have anticipated that Nora would feel embarrassed, so he spoke up in advance, trying to help her out.

I'm sorry, Plotina, you're so nice, but my memories and emotions still make me unconsciously shift my stance towards Nora.

Gominase~

Oh my, little Nora is so cute sitting on the chair!

Plotina: ???

Young Plotina tasted betrayal for the first time.

Why is this happening? Having lifelong friends, and letting them get to know each other and become friends, should have brought me even more joy. It should have been a dreamlike, blissful time...

But why did it turn out like this?

It’s me, it was me first, it was obviously me who came first!

"What's wrong with that? I chose my favorite script!"

Plotina protested.

Is it wrong to want to share something you like with everyone? Besides, this is the first time Lucius and I have watched a play together.

"I'm not unwilling. I, I can do it!"

Nora showed a determined look.

Lucius was gentle, but she couldn't let her sister Plotina down.

"Hehe, look here, Lucius, do you think you know Nora better than me?"

With the support of her sisters, Plotina naturally wanted to show her true colors to Lucius.

Lucius:? ? ?

Oh shit, there’s a cow!

Bu Xiangwan spicy!

"Oh, okay, okay, let's look at the script and the lines first."

Lucius sighed and could only helplessly cooperate with Plotina in playing house.

To be honest, this simulation went a little too smoothly, like going from a thrilling Souls-like game to "Oh no! I'm surrounded by beauties" all of a sudden, which made him a little confused.

Then who will fill in the gaps in crisis and BOSS that I'm missing?

While I was thinking, rehearsal also began——

"Romeo, Romeo, why do you..."

"Card!"

Nora had just started to speak when Plotina raised a small sign to signal a pause.

"Nora is too weak. She doesn't have the determination of the heroine who is willing to give up everything for love."

"I'm sorry, Sister Plotina."

Nora hung her head, looking very depressed.

"No need to apologize, it's your first time after all, Nora is already very good~"
