The power of the alien Quiz hovered in Gates' heart, imitating Gates's voice, echoing in his mind.
[This world is coming to an end. 】
This sentence is not a lie, but a clear fact.
The severely weathered, dilapidated, dead, and yellow-sand-filled city in front of me is very much like the scene in Gates' memory of 2068 when the devil ruled.
The world is in twilight, despair spreads all over the world, and death covers the earth.
"How could...become...like...?"
Gates murmured with a dull expression.
In my mind, the peaceful scene of the world is still fresh in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, it has been covered by reality and decayed into the final scene before my eyes.
Just when Gates's mind was fluctuating greatly, the voice of the alien Quiz sounded again, talking and inducing Gates.
[You should know the answer. 】
"I know?"
[Yes, the answer lies in your heart. Think about it, what are you doing while the world is rapidly collapsing? 】
"I'm... fighting a strange knight."
[What happened during the battle? 】
"The knight's watch that carries the history of knights...is broken."
【I regret. 】
The answer was found quickly.
There is no doubt that the shattering of the knight's watch and the return of the alien history are the biggest factors that brought the world to an end so quickly.
After thinking about this, Gates' face suddenly showed an uncontrollable gloom.
The power of the alien Quiz surged quietly, and the small and dark red and blue currents continued to spread in Gates' brain, eroding, paralyzing, and constantly amplifying the negative emotions in Gates' heart.
Then, as the red and blue electric lights lit up, the alien Quiz questions continued to sound.
[Leaving aside the consequences of the broken knight’s watch, did you win the battle with the alien knight? 】
"I won."
As he said this, Gates' mind wandered, and his mind couldn't help but recall the countless death scenes he had experienced in battle.
Alien Quiz sensed the pain in Gates' memories, so his tone became soft and considerate.
[Well, fighting must be very hard. 】
It soothes Gates' weary soul with empathetic words.
[You have worked very hard, really, you have tried your best, so you are not wrong. 】
"I am not wrong?"
[Yes, you are not wrong. 】
The alien Quiz repeats its words.
Regret, escape, wavering...these negative emotions will become the entry point for the erosion of alien Quiz.
Alien Quiz will continue to amplify those negative emotions, turning those dark and ugly negative emotions into irresistible darkness, shrouding the inner world of the eroded person, and then Alien Quiz himself will become the only light in the darkness.
Just like the heterogeneous Quiz affirmed Gates at this time.
【you are right. 】
Such affirmative words continued to echo in Gates' mind, gradually changing his mind.
"I...that's right...yes, I'm right!"
As Gates affirmatively recognized the Alien Quiz, a Alien Quiz Table that continuously absorbed pure red and blue energy light from Gates' body separated from Gates' body and floated around Gates.
Then, the shape of the strange Quiz watch began to slowly change into an hourglass.
However, this process is not very fast.
Therefore, Heterogeneous Quiz is not very satisfied with this speed.
So, it spoke again.
[Oh, by the way, why do you want to fight the alien knight? 】
After hearing this, Gates, who was gradually "pacified", suddenly showed a trace of struggle on his face. He seemed to have foreseen something and wanted to break away from the continuation of this question and answer.
However, the alien Quiz's erosion of Gates's mind is like boiling a frog in warm water. Until now, Gates' ability to resist has been extremely limited.
What's more, the Zi-O Knight Watch, which is supposed to protect Gates' mind from the invasion of external evil spirits, for some reason, not only turns a blind eye to the erosion of the alien Quiz Watch, but also actively restrains his aura and lets it go.
And the savior who was supposed to be with Gates and became his support when Gates wanted to resist, at this time became the little daughter-in-law who wanted to refuse but still welcomed her. The beating with her little fist was very interesting. .
Look, the heterogeneous Quiz table is asking more intensely.
The struggle on Gates' face was finally suppressed by the alien Quiz, and turned into a soothing look.
He once again became a frog simmering in warm water.
"I... fought to save Ur and Aura. They were turned into alien knights by Swaruz."
Gates' answer prompted a confused question from Quiz.
【Huh? is that so? 】
I saw Gates' whole face, half normal, half not only showing a weird smile, but also covered with the dark patterns of the alien Quiz mask, and then, from the mouth of the darkly lit half of the face with a weird smile , a strange Quiz voice sounded.
[But, they are your enemies. 】
Alien Quiz said in disbelief.
[Oh my god, could it be that the reason why you missed the best opportunity to save the world was to save two enemies? By doing this, are you worthy of the King of Time who entrusted the world to you? 】
At this point, Alien Quiz paused, and then continued as if he suddenly remembered something.
[Ah, yes, there is also Mr. Store Manager...]
Saying this, the alien Quiz asked in a calm tone.
[Aren’t you... protecting nothing? 】
As soon as the words were said, the nine-to-five meal arrived.
Gates pushed the door open and looked at the empty store in front of him. The last line of defense in his heart was penetrated by a blow.
Plop!
The strength in his hands unconsciously loosened, and Ur, who was tucked under his arm, and Aura, who was holding him, fell to the ground.
"Mr. Store Manager..."
Gates walked into the store in despair.
Beside him, the alien Quiz has completely transformed into the shape of an hourglass. As the machines and ninja knights entangled with the power of the savior absorb the power, the red and blue sands of time continue to condense.
Soon, soon, soon...
The heterogeneous Quiz table can immediately evolve into the heterogeneous Geiz Revive table.
The alien Quiz will also evolve into the alien Geiz Revive by devouring Gates' life.
Now, dark and strange patterns have almost covered Gates' entire face.
This new "Gates" asks the last question to the other person who has only one status left in the inner world.
[If time could go back again, would you be willing to give up Ur and Aura to protect the world? 】
On one side are two former enemies, on the other side is an important thing entrusted to me by a close friend...
Is it necessary to ask which side Gates will choose at this time?
The answer is obvious.
[Sa, completely let go of your mind, Gates, I will give you a chance to make a new choice. 】
Behind Gates, the clock hourglass phenomenon of the alien Geiz Revive is ready. Just waiting to be flipped, it can destroy the last anchor left by the King of Time in this world, completely reverse the current time and space, subvert the current time order, and turn it into alien history. world.
Heterogeneous Quiz can’t wait.
The weird smile on his face continued to expand, and the arc of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.
However, Gates' answer was...
"No……"
The expression on the alien Quiz's face suddenly froze.
【What did you say? 】
"He said...no."
Time and space transformation.
A hand covered with traces of time and war suddenly stretched out from the front and grasped the alien Geiz Revive watch that was just a little bit close to being able to condense successfully. He tightened his fingers and exerted force.
Click!
The watch head is broken.
Then, following the hand holding the watch and looking forward, I saw an old Gates with gray temples casually throwing away the fragments of the alien watch head in his hand and said:
"Obviously, now, even if he feels extreme regret for the current situation, when making choices, he is still more inclined to create a new future, rather than like the past, like the suggestions you gave, Escape to the [past] and start over again..."
At this point, he paused slightly and asked.
"Besides, this is the right solution to save the world, isn't it?"
But at this time, the consciousness of the alien Quiz had been shattered with the fragmentation of the unfinished alien Geiz Revive table. He was unable to speak and disappeared silently.
However, the power of the alien Quiz was refined and remained.
At the same time, the powers of the saviors, machines, and ninja knights that were previously absorbed by the alien Quiz watch also returned as the watch was shattered.
Gates slowly emerged from his trance.
He looked at his old self in front of him and asked in surprise:
"Have I come to the future?"
"No."
Old Gates shook his head.
"Here is a possibility of being kidnapped by the Time Management Bureau a long time ago, a possibility of 'Jiba Shogo' failing to become king. It is relatively independent of each timeline, but also closely related. In essence, it is related to The future you know, 2068, is almost..."
As he said this, he looked at his younger self, whose expression was getting more and more confused. He was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but stop explaining, and laughed.
"Of course, based on the information you recently received from White Watts, you can also simply understand this as the savior line."
