At this moment, Grigio looked at Subaru, opened her arms almost pleadingly, and whispered:

"Could you also bestow some of your power upon me? I yearn for the power to defy fate, and for that, I am willing to pay a price."

"I'm sorry, it seems I can't share my power with you right now."

Gen Subaru looked at the sky, where Grigio also saw the distorted scenery. This was undoubtedly because Gen Subaru had altered the past and used his spacetime power to prevent the creation of parallel worlds. As punishment for the impending 'Time Waterfall', if Gen Subaru were to further provoke it by sharing the Light of Nexus, he would be forced to leave before Grigio could obtain the power.

Although Greta didn't know the specifics of this, she knew that the childlike figure in front of her wasn't trying to fool her with lies.

"However, if you are truly determined to defy fate, then go to planet O-50."

As he spoke, Minamoto no Subaru handed a beam of light to Grigio just before the punishment was about to begin:

"Put your beliefs into practice with your actions, and when you reach the top of the warrior's peak and see the halo of light, I believe you will have the power to realize your dreams."

205 Penalty for modifying the time

After leaving this message, a strange bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the distorted sky, and then the mysterious child's figure disappeared before the eyes of Rob and his siblings. They looked at each other in astonishment. Even though they were mercenaries who had traveled to many places in this universe and seen all kinds of strange phenomena or monsters, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"Walk."

Holding the light particle given to her by Gen Subaru, Grigio watched as the mercenaries were about to be wiped out by Bianca and hurriedly called for her brothers to retreat. Bianca clearly had no intention of harming them, so the Rob siblings left the planet unharmed.

On their way back to the house of Bakubaba, the three siblings became very interested in the planet 'O-50' that Gen Subaru had mentioned. However, they had to go back first. Regardless of the success or failure of this mission, they had to give Bakubaba an explanation.

However, the message transmission speed of Bakubaba was faster than that of their spaceship returning home. Or rather, Bakubaba had already realized something before receiving the reward. When he saw the return of the three siblings, Rob, Bakubaba's face was very ugly, but he didn't say much and just told them to go and rest.

But soon...

“Your previous secret work has been exposed to the victim’s relatives. Those guys are very troublesome. It would be better for you to take refuge on a border planet for the time being.”

A few days later, Baku Baba found the Rob siblings and gave them this 'advice,' which was indeed true. However, the reason it was exposed was because Baku Baba deliberately spread the word for his secret job, hoping to earn more money. But once this reached the ears of the relatives of the targets eliminated by the Rob siblings, retaliation was only to be expected.

The three siblings, Rob and his sister, were already prepared for this. In the world of the underground organization, they were attacked by bounty hunters as bounty gamblers, and some people were even planning to set up an "encirclement of Rosso Blue Grigio". Even the three agile siblings had been driven to the brink of despair in the past.

Therefore, after hearing Bakubaba's 'advice' that was tantamount to drawing a line, Rosso, Blue, and Grigio immediately hid on Alhara, a desolate planet on the edge of the galaxy that wasn't even on a galactic map.

It's not that they haven't considered going to planet O-50, but the current environment is indeed unsuitable for their activities. They need to hide for a while, until the pursuit outside has subsided somewhat, before they can go out.

On this desolate planet Alhara, there are no mercenaries, bounty hunters, or industrialists, so it is extremely barren. The poor but simple people of the universe rely on each other to survive, cultivating small plots of land.

Furthermore, since the wanted information for the manhunt did not reach this planet, and the planet had not sent any signals, the rumors about the Rob siblings did not spread on this planet. People who had never seen the three siblings undoubtedly treated them as partners.

During their time in seclusion, although life was far poorer than at the "Bakubaba House," the place provided temporary respite for the three siblings who were driven to desperation.

But while the three siblings, Rob and his sister, were 'gaining' what they had, they were also considering whether they could use their acquired knowledge and experience to solve everyone's problems.

That is, people run small-scale agriculture, but have been suffering from water shortages.

So they discovered the underground water veins, dug a deep well, and when the water gushed out, the residents gave them their heartfelt thanks.

Surrounded by cheering residents, Grigio smiled, a smile she hadn't worn in a long time.

Looking at her brothers, she said happily:

"We've forgotten something. Survival might not be limited to deprivation; it could also be about giving, right?"

For the three siblings, this was different from plundering others; it was the first time they had experienced being thanked by others.

Grigio even felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she could live on this land for the rest of her life, and that planet O-50 didn't matter anymore.

But rumors of barren lands turning into fertile soil after the discovery of water spread across the galactic network, and since then, the once peaceful planets have begun to see the presence of henchmen of cosmic gangs and bounty hunters.

In the end, even the inhabitants of Alhara were harmed, and the three siblings were forced to leave this rare peaceful place because of their good deeds.

After experiencing this, Grigio realized that without sufficient power, even if you want to live a peaceful and prosperous life, there will be some despicable people who will try to ruin your happiness. Therefore, on Grigio's advice, the three siblings followed the direction indicated by the light particle and headed to the legendary planet O-50.

Meanwhile, as the three siblings set foot on the snowy landscape of Planet O-50, it seemed as if the main timeline had just determined that their lives had returned to their proper 'historical development,' and only then did the 'punishment' of Genji begin.

For the three siblings, several months passed between leaving Planet Duntak and arriving at Planet O-50, but for Gen Subaru, who was repelled back to his original point in time, not even a second had passed.

Therefore, taking into account the events that altered Bianca's past, plus the impact on the three siblings, the compressed [time] was instantly poured onto Gen Subaru.

To be honest, this is not a big deal for the [Timefall]. In the long span of time of the entire universe, the changes of three or four people are not a remarkable thing.

But a grain of sand in time falling on a person becomes a mountain. Because of his experimental idea, Gen Subaru did not take much precautions and faced the invisible impact of time head-on. As far as Gen Subaru's body felt, it was only a blink of an eye. In the time it took for his eyelids to open and close, he was covered in wounds. And if he was not mistaken, he was currently on... the planet of the Pitt people.

"Oh, Mr. Giant, you're finally awake."

Hearing that gentle voice, Gen Subaru tried to open his eyes, but everything before him was blurry. He felt as if something was binding him, and after using his psychic power to break free, he could finally see his surroundings clearly. He saw the Pitt aliens in medical protective suits and learned that he had been unconscious for seven days...

206 The Director Who Provides Door-to-Door Service

It's amazing, I didn't even notice...

This time, Gen Subaru was acutely aware of the terrifying cost of altering the main timeline. He had only changed Bianca's fate and influenced the course of the three Rob siblings, yet the resulting time penalty had caused him to lose consciousness for so long without him even realizing it. If the power had been greater, he feared he would have died before he even realized it.

"Well...."

Gen Subaru exchanged a few words with the Pitt alien in front of him, then, enduring the pain, stepped out from the giant medical pod that was clearly hastily constructed.

However, despite being called a medical pod, the device didn't do much good. The Pitt aliens sensed that Nexus's body was enveloped by an incomprehensible and unanalyzable force that their current technology couldn't analyze or intervene in.

So, the reason why Gen Subaru is able to wake up now is entirely due to his own self-healing ability.

As for how the Pitt aliens discovered him, the reason is quite simple. After all, the planet where Gen Subaru was located had been destroyed. The Pitt aliens, who detected this, were worried that something terrible had appeared again, so they rushed to investigate and saw Nexus floating in the debris.

"I see. Don't worry, there are no enemies attacking. It's just that my energy has gone out of control."

Gen Subaru spoke to reassure the somewhat uneasy Pitt alien in front of him, and then, using the excuse that 'the energy is still not very stable,' he thanked the Pitt alien for his help and immediately left the planet, arriving at the site of the shattered planet.

Gazing at the dense planetary debris, Gen Subaru spread his psychic power, attempting to sense the changes around him. However, too much time had passed, and there was hardly any usable data left. Realizing this, Gen Subaru sighed regretfully and then began his journey back to Earth. He had been away for far too long...

Um? !

However, just as Yuan Mao was about to leave, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation. He turned around warily but saw nothing and sensed no energy reaction. But... was it a warning from 'time'?

In that instant, Yuan Mao suddenly understood something and vaguely realized that if he continued to interfere with the main timeline, he would face even more severe and unimaginable punishment next time.

No wonder Mr. Tartarus is so cautious about changing the time; it's indeed not a easy thing to deal with.

Yuan Mao muttered to himself, then continued heading towards Earth without looking back. There's always a way around a policy; he was sure he could come up with a skill to deal with it, or even escape this punishment.

However, there are other things that need to be studied before that, such as this turquoise crystal. During his time back on Earth, Gen Subaru noticed the uniqueness of this turquoise crystal. Its enhancement of the host's power is as strong as ever, which is very much in line with its nature. It is a direct increase in combat power achieved by distorting the rules, which is even more unreasonable than Belial's demon fragments.

Thinking this, Gen Subaru took out the demon fragment he had obtained earlier. Due to its dangerous nature, he had kept it in his own storage space instead of handing it over to the TLT research department for study. Now it seemed that this decision was quite correct; otherwise, he would have had to find a way to retrieve it without revealing his identity...

"It's been a long time!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came. Yuan Mao was not too surprised, after all, how could his senses not detect the approach of this ordinary human old man?

"Ah, it's been a long time, Mr. Director."

Gen Subaru turned around, looked at the TLT director dressed as a fisherman, waved, and said with a smile:

"It seems my hiding place is indeed quite easy to find. I didn't expect you to come to my door so quickly, sir."

"After all, you've already appeared in my dream. If I can't even react to this, then I'm really too senile."

The director smiled and sat down next to Yuan Mao, looking at the sky outside with him. After a short silence, he said softly:

"What...what state are you in right now? Are you alive, or...?"

"I am alive, I am the Light of Nexus, just an aggregate of light particles."

"Oh...."

Looking at the director beside him, Yuan Mao had already guessed the old man's true purpose for coming, and said directly:

"Don't even think about it. I won't go back. You're doing just fine as you are now. You don't need Ultraman's support or external guidance. You're relying on your human instincts, resilience, and determination to drive the development of your entire race and civilization. That's exactly what I want to see, and I hope you can keep it up."

"...I understand. Humans will not let you down. I will treat Nexus as if it has disappeared and proceed with the next steps of the plan."

Hearing this, the director already knew Gen Subaru's thoughts. After thinking about it, he finally agreed, because without Nexus, many things would indeed be easier to advance within TLT under the pressure of the cosmic enemy.

"I wasn't here today, but this..."

The director took out a bank card and an ID card from his pocket and handed them to Yuan Mao, saying:

"Just take it and use it. Don't worry, it's very safe and there won't be any leaks."

"No, Mr. Director, you can take this back too."

Subaru said very calmly:

"I don't need to eat or do anything else to stay alive right now, and things like clothes and shelter are meaningless to me, so these two cards are only useful to increasing the risk of my identity being exposed."

"Although your current state is quite peculiar, but..."

The director thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then offered his advice:

"As a person, one's life always needs some sense of ritual to better remember what the meaning of life is."

"I don't need this to remind me."

After saying that, Yuan Mao probably felt that his statement was too rigid and somewhat unfriendly, so he quickly added, while also softening his tone a bit, and said softly:

“Director, you know me. I never gamble on probabilities in this kind of thing. You also know how clear I am about what I'm doing. So, let's just let this matter rest. Oh, and Director, when you leave, just to be on the safe side, I'll use my telekinesis to subtly influence you. It won't have any unnecessary effects, so please don't worry.”
