I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

[Möbius]: ......

[Hellish Primordial Sea]: ......

[Wind Clan Warrior]: ......

[Hungry Wolf]: ......

Thank you. I feel offended, or rather, I feel subtly insulted.

Originally, Hell and Takeo hadn't forgotten about this connection, but now that Kurumi Tokisaki brought it up, they realized that nowadays, every member of the group, including the group leader, seems to have a tragic past.

Kurumi Tokisaki was manipulated by the Primal Spirit and killed her best friend.

Mebius's mother died in childbirth, and his father went insane from the Honkai disease.

Yuan Hai's father and brothers were all killed, and his mother committed suicide by shooting herself.

Garou suffered from bullying at school when he was a child, and was bullied by others as a weirdo.

As for Wu Nan, he was alright in the past, but his future looks bleak.

[Wind Clan Warrior]: Now it seems... we all do look rather... unattractive.

[Möbius]: Thank you, I was offended!

[Hellish Origin Sea]: Sigh, I don't want to compare this with others.

[Hungry Wolf]: Um... I don't think I'm that unlucky, not as bad as everyone in the group. I was just bullied when I was a kid, nothing really that tragic...

The ravenous wolf, who had never been humble before, suddenly became humble at this moment.

After all, you can't be unhumble; just look at the outrageous experiences of the people in the group.

There's no limit to how bad things can get.

He, Hungry Wolf, was only bullied at school when he was a child. How could he possibly compare to this group of pathetic geniuses?

【Duanmu Lian】: @Tokisaki Kurumi, you have a really unique perspective on things. Although I personally sent the invitation, the recipients were random, and you could also choose not to accept the invitation.

[Kurumi Tokisaki]: Ara ara~~~, I was just kidding. Everyone here has difficulties just like the group leader.

[Duanmu Lian]: Well, everything that needs to be said has been said. Everyone knows each other and trusts this chat group. So let's move on to the next stage.

[Duanmu Lian]: @Hungry Wolf, want to make a deal with me?

[Ding! Group member Hungry Wolf sent 'Water Flow Rock Smash Fist' and 'Heart Explosion Release Fist' to group owner Duanmu Lian.]

【Hungry Wolf】: Thank you for the information you gave me before, group owner. No need for a trade. Consider the Flowing Rock Smash Fist and Heart Explosion Release Fist as a token of my gratitude.

[Duanmu Lian]: I accept your thanks, but we can continue our trade. After all, there are other martial arts techniques in your world, and I'm also interested in the monster cells there. Could you help me collect them? I'll give you something of equal value, and this martial arts technique will serve as a deposit.

[Ding! Group owner Duanmu Lian sent 'Fist of the North Star' and 'South Star Sacred Fist' to group member Hungry Wolf.]

In the Honkai world,

Mebius felt a pang of envy as he watched the group admin begin trading.

The group leader, Duanmu Lian, has experienced many worlds and has a lot of good stuff in her possession.

The previous monster specimens and the Plasma Spark Tower had fueled Möbius's strong desire to study them.

Especially the Plasma Spark Tower, and the monster cells that Duanmu Lian wanted to trade with Garou.

In Möbius's view, both of these things could take her a big step forward in realizing her dream, or even make it a reality.

Unfortunately, Mebius, who is currently powerless and not a fusion warrior, has nothing of value to trade with Duanmu Lian.

[Hungry Wolf]: Oh my god, these two fist techniques are even more profound than the Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist and the Heart-Exploding Release Fist!! Group Boss, I, Hungry Wolf, accept your deal!!

As Garou continuously practiced Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken in his mind, he became completely absorbed in them.

In terms of destructive power, both of these boxing styles surpass the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist.

Only the Heart Release Fist, which Garou stole, can rival it in destructive power.

The Heart Release Fist was a martial art used by his master Bang when he was young, and Garou learned it by secretly reading a martial arts manual hidden in a safe.

As its name suggests, the Heart Explosion Liberation Fist's shockwave can unleash tremendous power, instantly breaking through the body's limits, making it an evil fist with super destructive power.

With the Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken, Garou's talent allows him to fully digest them and integrate them into his own style, thus multiplying his strength several times over!

[Duanmu Lian]: Then it's Mebius and Tokisaki Kurumi's turn. What are your plans?

[Mébius]: I haven't even joined the Fire Moth yet, so I don't have anything to trade with you, the group leader.

[Kurumi Tokisaki]: I've given up on my plan to change history. I'm going to rescue Nia Honjou now. Group owner, do you want her spirit crystal? Consider it a thank you gift for the information you gave her.

[Duanmu Lian]: Of course I do. I'm also interested in the display device. Do you need 'time'? I'll give you some of my longer-lived experimental subjects. You can directly absorb their time.

[Kurumi Tokisaki]: The manifestation device... no problem, but what about your experimental subjects, group leader...?

[Duanmu Lian]: Don't worry, I will erase their ability to think, so you can just go ahead and absorb time.

[Ding! Group owner Duanmu Lian sent '2000 Space Spirit Capsules' to group member Tokisaki Kurumi.]

[Kurumi Tokisaki]: I've received it, but these test subjects of yours are really ugly, group admin...

In the world of Date A Live, in a small alleyway without surveillance cameras.

Following the instructions, Kurumi Tokisaki opened the Spirit Capsule, her lips twitching as she stared at the grotesque, unknown creature before her, her crimson eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness and excitement.

Although the monster in front of us was extremely ugly, it contained a vast amount of time.

The creatures sealed in the spirit capsules were actually a large number of failed products created by Duanmu Lian using the Ghost Transformation Medicine in combination with various strange and unusual things.

Although they were merely failed creations, these organisms were remarkably resilient and long-lived.

After all, when Duanmu Lian improved the Ghost Transformation Medicine, she also used the blood of a series of long-lived creatures, such as vampires and dragons, as a medicinal ingredient.

He treated it as a way to make use of waste, and gave it directly to Kurumi Tokisaki.

Kurumi Tokisaki opened her Shadow Space and began to devour these experimental subjects one by one.

As Kurumi absorbed their time, the hour hand in the left eye of her golden clock began to spin rapidly.

As she felt the vast amount of time being absorbed by her, an unnatural blush appeared on Tokisaki Kurumi's delicate, fair, pearl-like face.

This is so awesome! After collecting for so long, this is the first time that Tokisaki Kurumi has gained such a huge amount of time.

If she hadn't already given up on her plan to rewrite history, she would be trembling with excitement right now.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend!...............................................................

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Mebius: I'm all in!

The creatures within the two hundred Space Spirit Capsules had their time drained by the flushed-faced Kurumi Tokisaki.

She now feels that her reserve time is very large, and the amount of time she has absorbed is now more than enough to activate the Twelfth Bullet several times.

Kurumi Tokisaki looked at the 1800 time capsules she had left. After becoming rich overnight, she had no goal to use her time.

Originally, she planned to go back in time to kill the first spirit, the original spirit Mio Takamiya, and completely "erasure" the existence of spirits from the source, making all spirits "non-existent".

This not only denies others, but also completely denies oneself.

From the moment she embarked on this path, she relentlessly killed others, and even though they were all bad people, her hands were already covered in blood.

Therefore, Kurumi believed that there were only two possible outcomes for her.

First, after fulfilling their wishes, their existence is completely erased.

Second, they are punished by those who claim to be righteous, and then die.

This was what she considered her final destination, and she chose her own death.

Even so, she is still a girl, and she wants to pursue her own happiness.

In the information the group admin gave her, it seemed normal to her that Kurumi would fall in love with Itsuka Shido.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi saw this as her weakness.

That's why she was able to kill herself, the one who had fallen in love with him.

She enjoys killing, and she also enjoys being killed.

In terms of ideology, Kurumi Tokisaki has a strong sense of division.

On one hand, she longed for a simple and ordinary happiness, and on the other hand, she hoped that she could atone for her sins with her death.

In Duanmu Lian's view, this was very much like the self-destructive tendency of the Divine Throne Myriad Phenomena.

【Duanmu Lian】: @Tokisaki Kurumi, if you're going to abandon the original plan, then try to rescue your friend Yamada Sawa first. After falling into the Neighborhood, she merged with your inverted form and became the White Queen. I have a way to reshape her body and revive her.

There are so many things worth pursuing in the world of Date A Live.

Duanmu Lian was willing to help Tokisaki Kurumi because of those things.

Duanmu Lian was very interested in the spirit crystal, the manifestation device, and the magic formulas used by the three magicians to create the initial spirit.

If he could figure it out, with his resources, he might be able to mass-produce it.

In particular, display devices can reproduce the results of computer calculations in the real world, completely distorting the laws of the real world. They are known as a general term for devices that achieve "magic" through scientific and technological means.

However, this existence is not known to the general public. It was initially mounted on the tactical display device used by AST units, and there are various types such as medical and enhancement applications.

The display device is also used by the Ground Self-Defense Force's disaster reconstruction units to repair buildings damaged by spacequakes or AST units. Even large buildings can be repaired in just one night.

This technology is very similar to the quantum printing technology that Duanmu Lian possesses, but he is more concerned with how the display device distorts the laws of reality!

After all, this power that distorts the laws of reality reminded him of "domineering".

Although the two belong to different systems, Duanmu Lian is very confident that the power of the manifestation device will allow him to draw inferences from one another.

[Tokisaki Kurumi]: Sawa... I... I understand!! Thank you for reminding me, group admin.

Kurumi Tokisaki, who was slightly bewildered, immediately lost her bewilderment after seeing Duanmu Lian's words in the chat group.

Oh right, I almost forgot about her friend, Sanda Sawa.
