The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 232 Who is Karasuma Renya?
Karasuma Renya never imagined that he would one day embark on the path of saving the world—for him, this was even more unbelievable than death.

Originally, in all that arrangement, in all that power struggle, he was merely a pawn in an endless game of chess.

However, both the story timeline and the real-world timeline are now disconnected from the reality where Conan Edogawa lives.

Just like how the Time Research Department sees a blank screen in the Time Display.

This is actually because they are already within the scope of that new time.

In the void, the two timelines were firmly bound by the pale sunlight.

[Shinichi Kudo] The way he concealed the "Hoshimi Tower Case" was unusually simple—

Wouldn't it be fine as long as there's no future in both timelines?
He then compulsively and firmly grasped the two timelines together, throwing all future events from that moment onward into that new timeline.

Undoubtedly, the dual timelines struggled in His hands, attempting to project a portion of his power into the new timeline.

But now they are just two pitiful, severed earthworms. As the steel blade falls, no matter how their "bodies" twist at the point where the two timelines are severed, their possible future will have no connection with the two timelines they once shared.

From that moment on, the dual timelines are like mosquitoes frozen in amber; they undoubtedly record that precious history of the past, but they are also destined to be nothing more than "footnotes" to the new timeline.

But for everyone in the entire Conan universe, they are now truly "free".

Yes, even if it's just a little bit of freedom, a "moment" of freedom.

The instant he realized this, the shadow lurking in the darkness—Karasuma Renya—initially let out a joyful cry:
"I'm free! I'm free!"

After Shinichi Kudo became the sole driving force of the new timeline, Renya Karasuma was the first to learn the truth.

Whether it was the last-minute contingency plan left on him by the [story timeline], or the hasty severance by [Shinichi Kudo] that prevented him from being "reset" in the same way.

Karasuma Renya then learned about the "historical inertia," about "Shinichi Kudo," about the CYZ alliance...

However, this "freedom" was meaningless and not what Karasuma Renya wanted.

Karasuma Renya never imagined she would have such "freedom"—it was like a cold void, leaving her bewildered and in pain.

Having lost its anchor and its destiny's trajectory, everything becomes unclear.

He longed to return to the embrace of the story's timeline.

"No! No, no, no! It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this!"

A hysterical voice, along with the strange whimpering sounds echoing in the room, resonated in his heart, like the pitiful cry of a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"I want to go back! I want to go back!"

Finally, only uncontrollable wails remained in the room.

Freedom also means something else—

Karasuma Renya is no longer "Karasuma Renya".

That feeling of having everything under one's control, of having the past and future at one's fingertips, was originally an illusion created by the "chess piece" after the interference of the "story timeline" in an attempt to simulate a "personality."

These feelings all disappeared with the "disconnection" of the story's timeline.

Now, this chess piece suddenly realizes that what it truly desires is the thrill of being lifted off the board by the player and overlooking the entire game.

Karasuma Renya hates the human perspective and his current state. When he was "picked up" by the [story timeline], he could see the history of the entire Earth and even the entire universe. His soul roamed in the ocean of time, merging with the entire universe.

When the story timeline modifies itself, resetting those "unexpected factors," refusing all matter in the universe to interact with the Alliance, and bestowing the miracle known as "Disappearance" upon the Black Organization...

Now, he is no longer the "god" who can transcend time and space and observe all things with a detached eye.

He could no longer travel through time and space to overlook the entire universe; that power that could transcend history and manipulate the future had vanished from Karasuma Renya's fingertips.

Those who know the truth can never go back.

After experiencing that mesmerizing feeling and that magnificent perspective, Karasuma Renya never wanted to give it up again.

“How could I be… how could I possibly be—!” He clenched his fists, a roar almost like that of a wild beast escaping his throat, “How could I be a human being!”

Karasuma Renya hates "Karamasuma Renya".

Karasuma Renya hopes for a change in the story's timeline, wishing to return to the present.

He hopes that, guided by historical inertia, Shinichi Kudo will get back on track.

This pathetic idiot has completely abandoned his own existence.

However, he had never existed before.

In short, this is how Karasuma Renya now views himself—

A Kami who knows the truth about the world, or rather, he is the [story timeline] itself.

Standing quietly in the center of this empty room, Karasuma Renya recalled the last net he had laid before the [story timeline] disappeared.

These "truths" and plans sparked an idea in his mind: "Wouldn't the new timeline, before [Shinichi Kudo] wakes up, be just missing a master?"

A greedy and ambitious gleam shone in his pupils, and the amber-like, solidified greed was melted away by this light.

A highly attractive idea seeped into those mercury-like memories, then dripped down the hourglass formed from the throat into Karasuma Renya's heart.

For a moment, he even felt his heart beating as powerfully as that of a strong young man.

He struggled to think, slowly clearing the "rust" from his mind, trying to get those rusty gears running again.

A vision of the future was thus carved out—

"The third pointer is the most important."

"Once I get it, I can try to negotiate with the alliance, or with [Shinichi Kudo] himself..."

He murmured softly, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and eagerness.

"We might even try to discover something from this and use the pointers directly to compose a piece of music that will absolutely satisfy Shinichi Kudo."

With a glint of ambition in his eyes, a thousand thoughts and countless plans surged into Karasuma Renya's mind in an instant.

However, those plans vanished like smoke in an instant.

My thoughts became chaotic, and my memories began to blur.

After all, what kind of person is "Karasuma Renya"?
