It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 8: The Fall of Onik
When Vivian came back.

Night has quietly fallen and the curtain of the sky is lowering.

The afterglow of dusk was replaced unconsciously, and the magnificent sky had faded into the deep night. At this moment, the sky seemed to be covered by a huge lead plate, thick and oppressive, and heavy clouds slowly flowed in the endless sky.

It's like a gray and gloomy painting.

Under the curtain of the dark night, the girl walked towards her residence, frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something seriously.

The sky was hazy, with faint thunder.

She didn't care much about the weather.

Orkney is located at the northernmost end of the fairy kingdom. Compared with other clan countries, it is poorer and less prosperous, but it is also a peaceful and stable country. At the end of the world, there stands a huge world tree, and it rains most of the year.

Vivian was already accustomed to this kind of climate.

On the contrary, sunny and bright weather like today is a rare occurrence here.

Her favorite thing was to stay alone in the library with no one else in the rainy weather.

Through the window, she could see the gray sky and hear the gentle sound of raindrops. Among the many books in her collection, she began to search for a way to save the fairies who were tortured by guilt instead of ending Britain.

In the dark but warm library, like a child sitting at the table reading a fairy tale, she described the "ideal country" in her dreams.

The girl paused for a moment, raised her eyes, and took in the extremely familiar palace, every blade of grass and every tree in front of her.

She gently clenched her fists, as if she was making up her mind, or as if she was cheering herself up. Although her emerald green pupils reflected mottled shadows, they could not hide the glittering light deep in her heart.

That is the purest and most innocent hope.

Extremely pure.

flawless.

only……

High in the sky covered by dark clouds, there seems to be a brewing force of thunder. Occasionally, faint thunder can be heard from the distant sky, like the heartbeat of the earth, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Under the gloomy sky, her figure dragged a long shadow under the faint flickering lightning and sank into the endless darkness.

the other side.

Xia Zhi took a long time to return to Vivian's residence.

His eyes fell on the tightly closed door, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked straight through the wall and into the house. Like a ghostly phantom that was not affected by real matter, he could neither touch nor be hindered by real objects.

This scene is undoubtedly very strange...

As for how this phenomenon occurs and why it occurs...

——Xia Zhi himself was also confused about this and had no idea.

Even he himself was not mentally prepared for such a sudden change, so naturally he could not find the answer in a short time. Although he had many speculations and conjectures in his heart, he lacked sufficient clues and information to verify them.

The room was still as empty and quiet as before, maintaining the deserted scene just now.

The girl hasn't come back yet.

Xia Zhi wandered aimlessly in the house several times, feeling more and more strange and alienated in his situation. He seemed to be losing touch with the reality of this world, like two non-intersecting parallel lines.

To the world, it seemed as if it did not exist, unable to touch or affect anything, just like when it fell downstairs just now... Maybe the same thing happened to the mobile phone, and no one knew where it fell.

——Perhaps it passed through the foundation of the palace and sank deep into the soil?

——Or, has it fallen into the deeper unknown area beneath the surface?
After all, if material obstacles really no longer exist for him, then everything is essentially just an illusion, whether it is the magnificent palace building or the land and rock layers underneath it, there should be no difference in theory.

This was when Xia Zhi wandered around and searched for a few rounds below and didn't find the phone, and he couldn't help but have such doubts.

As for the specific situation, it can only remain in the speculation stage and no definite answer can be obtained.

Therefore, he did not act rashly alone, but decided to return to Vivian's residence and wait for the girl to return before making a decision. In any case, it is always wise to be more cautious when facing such an unknown phenomenon.

Who can predict whether this phenomenon will be stable and lasting, or whether it will suddenly return to its physical form?

Imagine if you were to return to normal without any warning when you were deep underground...

Tsk tsk, that must be a very ugly death.

It was precisely because of this doubt that when he went upstairs again, he was particularly careful to choose the regular path instead of randomly going through the wall.

Walking back and forth in the room pretending to be familiar with this strange experience and feeling, Xia Zhi's expression looked very strange.

Maybe this is an out-of-body experience?

Although he had many strange and messy experiences, he was undoubtedly a newbie when it came to being a ghost. He had no experience at all... It's not that he had never experienced death, but he had never survived in this form.

Is it because the laws of the original world determine that the soul cannot continue after death, or is it that every time he dies, it will trigger an instant restart of the time and space cycle...

This is not certain either.

Anyway, there are many ways to die, but there is no after-death experience at all.

…………

Time is like sand, slipping away quietly in silence.

Until the long-suppressed gloomy sky finally erupted with a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, and dull thunder rolled across the earth.

At the same moment, the night rain began to fall.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Vivian walked in briskly, holding a tray in her hand.

She first looked around, and then her eyes stopped at the young man sitting quietly at the table: "You are so patient and don't walk around... Come and have something to eat."

"Is there a possibility that I went out and came back..."

Xia Zhi watched the girl's calm and composed demeanor. She walked over and placed a tray on the wooden table in front of her. There were various fruits on it.

Some are familiar, some are not.

The former might be part of the similarities between parallel worlds, and the latter is probably a specialty unique to this world, or this fairy country?

"You are still an ordinary person, so you probably still need to eat, so I brought you some food..." Vivian explained a little embarrassedly, "But for now, there are only fruits, nothing else."

"Because fairies don't actually need to eat. Their daily dining habits, including banquets and other occasions, are actually an imitation of the human lifestyle. So even in the palace, there won't be a lot of food reserves."

"It's okay to ask them to prepare it, but it's a little late now. I never ate at night before, and it would easily attract attention... Especially after what happened today, the princess and the others are more concerned."

The girl is indeed very attentive.

This is not only reflected in her thoughtful consideration, but also in her ability to avoid doing things that might draw attention to herself during sensitive periods.

"..."

"..."

"Thank you..." Xia Zhi looked at the fruit on the tray and decided to thank him first, then slowly shook his head, "But I may not be able to eat now."

"Why?" Vivian showed a hint of confusion.

"Look..." Xia Zhi coughed, cleared his throat, and reached out to take a fruit, "That's it, I didn't do anything... eh?"

His words were suspended in the air as his fingertips could feel the touch and weight of the bright red fruit. He held it firmly in his hand.

"..."

"So, what do you want me to see?"

The girl glanced at the other person suspiciously. She carefully pondered over it in her mind, but couldn't figure out what this person wanted to express.

"Sorry, please wait a moment."

Xia Zhi made a pause gesture with his hand, then put down the fruit and began to feel around on the wooden table. He was shocked to find that he had unknowingly regained his connection with the real world.

His thoughts raced through his mind, and he instantly turned his eyes and looked directly in Vivian's direction.

As for the current situation——

Is whether or not I am by Vivian's side the key factor that determines the change in status?

Could it be that only under her observation does my existence have a relatively stable foothold in this world?
Well, if that's the case, then there's one more reason to cooperate.

And it's a reason that can't be refused.

Time: Unknown.

Location: A desolate Britain.

In the dark night, the silver-haired figure was still busy, speeding up the collection of information about the devastated wasteland, while non-stop analyzing Chaldea's spirit particle transfer technology.

It is a technology that can transport the user to different time axes and different phases in a spirit-like manner, and it has also been proven to be a method of space navigation.

Because it involves time travel and parallel worlds, even for a genius magician like her who has entered the divine realm, it is still a challenging task to analyze it in one night...

But perhaps it was some kind of luck and favor from some unknown source.

——She succeeded.

The next step is to accurately calculate the time to be teleported back and confirm the status of the destination of the soul transfer. In Chaldea's operation, these steps require the mobilization of all supercomputers to calculate and substitute the assumed formula to accurately correct the history.

But she didn't need to, she could complete this step by herself...

This is the easiest step, especially if you have the necessary "medium".

She has analyzed the cause of the destruction of this world, or rather the history - it was an inhumane massacre, because the joint attack of four fairy clans wiped out the fairy clan that hid "them" overnight.

The "self" of this world also died in this massacre.

Nothing was done.

Then, a great disaster struck, and because no one could resist it, the Fairy Kingdom was destroyed.

What a ridiculous reason!
She despised such an outcome, but also refused to acknowledge it. With a firm and unhesitating mentality, she stepped into the light called soul transfer, which was actually time travel.

In this line of work, she will undoubtedly be crushed to pieces...

But all the information will be entrusted to "myself" in this world...

The ending of Britain will be rewritten!

----

Fairy country.

Onik.

It was late at night, everything was quiet, only the sound of the rain never stopped.

Xia Zhi was in an unused room, leaning against the windowsill, looking at the gloomy night rain outside, constantly counting and calculating the time in his mind. Because he couldn't find his cell phone, he could only estimate the time in this way.

His day should be coming to an end, and the ending will soon be revealed.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhi subconsciously wanted to knock on the windowsill with his knuckles, but his fingers went straight through.

Just as previously speculated, as long as he was not within Vivian's observation, he was a ghostly, non-existent image relative to this world.

The girl had no way to explain this.

I can only leave it for later exploration...if there is that opportunity.

Xia Zhi was lost in thought, but his spirits gradually perked up, because in his silent calculation, the time was approaching midnight. He was like a prisoner waiting for trial, his whole heart was perked up.

No, no...

There will inevitably be some discrepancies in the estimate, maybe I can reserve more time...

As he thought about this, he counted down quietly: three, two, one...

——Boom! !

At the moment when the mental arithmetic time ended and returned to zero, a huge flame was reflected in his pupils. The flames that shot up into the sky directly illuminated half of the sky in the night rain, and then the deafening and terrible explosion came a beat later.

It was like a signal that turned on an ominous switch and opened the true curtain of this bloody night.

Roar!

roar!

Scream!

Excited shouts and impulsive sounds of fighting all burst out in the night wind in an instant!
“How come it’s so fast…!!”

Xia Zhi's face turned pale with shock, and then he made a decision almost without thinking, turned around and headed straight towards Vivian's residence.

Without even thinking, he could figure out what was happening, and he immediately realized that the most important thing now was to find Vivian and take her away from this place immediately... no matter where, they had to escape first!
…………

The blonde girl stumbled out of the house, and what came into her sight was the burning palace.

No, the entire Onik was engulfed in flames.

The goblins of the Rain Clan were being slaughtered mercilessly. Their miserable wails and the thick smell of blood were intertwined and spread to the distant sky.

She had just endured a large amount of future information, and her already pale face became even more bleak at this moment, as if all the blood had drained out of her at this instant. Her steps were weak and powerless, and she staggered, unable to accept the nightmare-like scene before her.

"The fact that the Rain Clan hid the Paradise Fairy angered the other clans, and eventually the four clans joined forces to attack. The Rain Clan was wiped out overnight..."

"And you——also died in this massacre..."

The cold prophecy just delivered by my future self from pan-human history seems to still echo in my ears, every word piercing my heart.

Vivian was subconsciously resisting this cruel fact and was unwilling to believe such a fate.

however--

In just the next moment, this future happened.
