You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel?

Lotte stared at the panel in front of him, momentarily confused.

How did I become a legend who changed the course of the world?

He only agreed to let Isolde go to Orantis. Could this one step really change the course of Isolde's life and even the world's destiny?

But this is a world of deduction, so can it be considered changing the course of the world? Wouldn't that mean we can repeatedly grind our talent progress by going back in time?

Isolde turned to look at Lotte, her brows furrowing slightly.

She always felt that Lott seemed very happy.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Hmm?" Lott snapped out of his thoughts. "Why am I afraid?"

"The two guards I'm going to kill are both [Catastrophe-level], you won't survive."

Huh? Go ahead and kill them, what does it have to do with me?

and many more? !

"Lord Isolde, you're not going to force your way into a city and then make me fight one of the people there?"

[Catastrophe Level] is the fifth form of a profession, representing the pinnacle that humanity can reach.

You want me to stall him?

Isolde nodded. "Yes. I need someone to help me hold one of them off."

Lott felt he had been tricked.

Could it be that after Isolde saved him last time, she exclaimed how wonderful it was, so every time he rewinds, he takes him along, using his own death to help her overcome difficulties?

So the last "King Killer" was made possible because Isolde had this idea!

Isolde said, "The enemy has warriors and mages, you choose one."

By this time, it was too late for Lotte to run away, especially since he also wanted to understand the talent of [Original Deduction].

It now appears that helping Isolde stall the opponent will increase the progress of [Original Deduction].

Lott replied helplessly, "Mage."

“His name is Uchi, the Arcane Sage, who is skilled in spatial magic. He will restrict my movements, so you need to keep his attention on you and buy me 20 seconds.”

"What should I do?"

Isolde turned and looked into Loth's eyes. "Shut him."

"Is it just swearing? Don't I have to do anything else?"

"You can't stop the others either."

That makes sense.

Isolde was a quiet person, and she and Lott didn't exchange many words along the way.

Every evening at dusk, she would take Lott to rest and eat some of the dry rations she carried with her. When the stars filled the sky, she and Lott would take turns resting.

Three days passed in this way. Isolde led Lot on a long tour of the forest, shaking off the dragon's pursuit, and returned to Orantis.

Lotte pushed aside the tree branches blocking his view and saw the magnificent city built on the plain.

Twelve giant white pillars soar into the clouds, supporting the sky.

They are the walls that defend against the Titans, the frontier of human territory.

Beneath the white pillars lies a bustling white city.

Orlandis is a commercial hub connecting elves and dwarves, where countless merchants and adventurers gather.

"Lord Isolde, how can we lure them out?"

Lotte soon found out the answer.

Isolde made no attempt to disguise himself and walked straight along the road across the grassland to the gates of Orlandis.

The guards on the pure white wall saw the white-haired girl in the cloak and immediately blew the horn as a warning.

"Waaah—"

Beneath the heavy clouds, the deep sound of bugles echoed across the grassland.

"It's Isolde! Quickly, go and fetch Lord Uchi and the others!"

Isolde drew her sword and waited quietly for her opponent.

A short while later, the two appeared on the city wall, looking down at Isolde and Lothar.

Isolde said to Lotte, "The one on the far left is Uchi. You and I charge over there."

The equipment worn by that Uchi gleamed, making Lot feel a little guilty: "Lord Isolde, do you have any magic like blessing to enhance my strength?"

"no."

After uttering those words, Isolde transformed into a white flash and crashed straight into the city wall.

Uchi and Isolde jumped off the city wall to fight. The first person to fight Isolde was a red-haired man who also wielded a sword.

The red-haired man gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, swinging his sword with all his might to meet the attack.

"Boom—"

The moment the two swords clashed, the shockwave pierced through the thick clouds above their heads, revealing a huge hole.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, falling upon the two of them and drawing the attention of every creature on the plain.

Lott exclaimed softly, "Is this a lie?"

He looked at the monk named Wuqi and kept encouraging himself.

At least I can spar with top mages and see just how strong they really are. That's a benefit, isn't it?

"Wuqi, your opponent is me!"

Chapter 9 After all, in his eyes, the world cannot be relived.

"I……"

Before Lotte could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his eyelids blink uncontrollably, and then he was instantly lifted into the air and flew backward.

A sudden gust of wind swept by, snapping the grass on the ground in two, sending it flying wildly.

Lot, no, part of Lot fell onto the grass, the wind dried his blood, and he returned to the earth.

But Lotte was still alive; the golden talent [Still Not Dead] was activated.

"How rude... at least let me finish what I was saying..."

Another gust of wind blew by, and Lotte was now completely dead.

Without Lotte's obstruction, Uchi turned around and threw himself into the battle to annihilate Isolde.

[World's Gift Upgrade: Gain 1 point of magic resistance when killed by a Cataclysmic creature. Total: 6 points of physical resistance, 1 point of magic resistance.]

[Essential Derivation: 0.01% → 0.02%]

It's gone up! It's gone up!

It seems that what I'm doing now has changed the world and accelerated the progress of my talent.

Lotte's soul floated in the air, looking towards the battlefield on the other side.

Although Isolde was also a calamity, she was clearly at a disadvantage after Uchi joined the fray.

The strange spatial arcane magic slowed Isolde down, forcing her to fight off the magic while also dealing with the red-haired man's attacks.

Uchi unleashed another spell that Lotte had never seen before: a green wind blade plowed a deep trench in the ground and rushed toward Isolde at an extremely fast speed.

Lotte only saw a flash of green light before the wind blade struck Isolde's armor.

While Isolde stumbled, the red-haired man's swordsmanship followed, knocking Isolde to the ground.

In the instant she fell, Isolde immediately rolled backward. She clutched her chest, trying to calm her rapid breathing, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

She changed her strategy to prioritize eliminating Uchi, but the red-haired man kept blocking Uchi's path, causing Isolde to suffer heavy blows from swordsmanship and magic with every step she took forward.

A few minutes later.

[Isolde's death marks the beginning of a world-rewinding process]

Let's start all over again.

After Lot returned to the initial camp, he was rescued by Isolde using the same method. After traveling for three days, he arrived at the city of Orantis.

Isolde hasn't given up yet!

"Lotte, this time you just need to hold off Uchi for 10 seconds."

Isolde silently reduced the time by 10 seconds.

"I understand!"

Upon entering the battlefield, Lotte shouted, "Uchi! I, XXX, am your opponent!"

[Isolde's death marks the beginning of a world-rewinding process]

"Lotte, this time you just need to hold off Uchi for 8 seconds."

"Hmm? Okay, okay..."

After entering the battlefield.

"Wuqi! I am XXXX, %&*^%@……, your opponent is me!"

[Isolde's death marks the beginning of a world-rewinding process]

[The World Rewind Begins]

[The World Rewind Begins]

[World's Gift Upgrade: Accumulate 6 points of physical resistance and 5 points of magical resistance.]

When Lot was rescued from the dragon's mouth by Isolde once again and brought to the forest, he no longer wanted to continue.

Does this really work? Can you really break the defenses of a calamity-level mage just by cursing a few times?

People at their level wouldn't pay attention to you unless you really hit a nerve.

Lott noticed that Isolde's expression was also a little unnatural; she seemed to have a headache.

Lotte sat on the ground and scratched his head.

I might as well take this opportunity to leave Isolde and go grind my talents freely!

But the [Origin Deduction] was really tempting, not to mention there were a lot of magic scrolls waiting for him in Orlandis City.

As darkness fell, the stars slowly spread across the sky.

The two sat down to rest in a clearing in the forest.

Isolde ate her bread in small bites, staring at the firelight as if she were considering something.

Meanwhile, Lotte was quietly watching Isolde, pondering a profound question.

How old is Isolde in real life? 18? 28?

What if Isolde, who is omnipotent in the simulation world, is actually weaker in reality?

"What is it?" Isolde asked, looking at the campfire. She had already noticed Lotte's curious gaze.

"Lord Isolde, does that Uchi have any taboos? Even when you're going to insult someone, you have to know how to attack their weaknesses."

Lott had already hurled four different kinds of insults, but they completely ignored him and simply sent him away.

Isolde raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Lotte would ask such a question.

She did not provide Lott with any additional information, but Lott raised questions that had not been asked in the previous simulations.

Originally, Isolde was the only variable in this deductive world. But now she is no longer the only one.

“Mages generally value their reputation. Uchi is the son of a noble family, and he and his family value their reputation highly, tolerating no insult whatsoever,” Isolde said. “Perhaps you could try approaching it from that angle. As my knight, your words represent a portion of the Empire's will and carry some weight.”

“Oh, oh.” Lott nodded. “Lord Isolde, do you meditate?”

Lott's questioning was quite abrupt, but Isolde was usually very quiet, and now that she was finally willing to answer, Lott was sure to seize the opportunity to ask more questions.
