I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"Yes, the valuable one is me, not him. Even if he can't bear the pain and dies, I can find another host. He is not important at all; he is just a consumable."

The lamp ring needs a host, and it cannot be replaced until the previous host becomes ineligible, so it was very reluctant to be taken off and tried to persuade Carl to put it back.

However, Carl wouldn't listen to him.

He said, “You’re wrong. It’s precisely because of the existence of the one who has the power to control that I’m keeping you alive. If you hadn’t been parasitizing him, no matter how strong you were, I would have destroyed you. So at least to me, he’s not useless.”

Carl was referring to the Ringmaster's personality as easy to manage, as his orders would always be carried out. The Lamp Ring, on the other hand, was an inherently evil artifact, and Carl would not hesitate to crush it if it caused chaos.

What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. Quan Jie, who had just been about to dance, froze on the spot. This was the first time someone had spoken up for him.

Chapter 48 Perspective Shift

From birth until now, everyone around Quan Jiezhe has considered him a good-for-nothing. The more others say this, the less confident he becomes. Gradually, he also comes to believe this himself, thus solidifying his reputation as a good-for-nothing.

But no one truly wants to be useless. Deep down, the Ring-Wielder also yearned for change, so he accepted the ring. The ring granted him immense power, allowing him to easily crush those who had once looked down on him. The people of Seaside City began to fear him, and a new life began.

But one thing remains unchanged: the label of "good-for-nothing." Even though he controls a city, many people still look down on him, and he can't shake off that label.

Only at this moment, only Karl denied that he was worthless, and even felt that his value was higher than the ring. The ringholder, who was stunned in place, felt his throat trembling. He wanted to say something but did not know how to start. This feeling of being stuck in the middle made his expression very strange.

"What are you doing? Get out of here and stop making such a disgusting face," Karl said to the Ringbearer. His sickly appearance made such a gesture really unsightly.

"Yes!" The Ringholder ignored Karl's attitude, answered loudly, and immediately stepped aside.

Carl held the Ring of Calamity in his hand to prevent it from spouting any more useless nonsense, then turned his gaze to Aquaman.

“Aquaman, do you know Paradise Island?” Carl asked.

Aquaman stroked his beard with the pincers in his left hand, lost in memories.

His left hand was burned off by Karl's heat vision during the battle between Atlantis and the land, so he could only be fitted with a prosthetic limb shaped like a crab claw.

“Superpower, I remember that island was inhabited by Amazonian female warriors who had some interactions with Atlantis a long time ago, but that was in the past. Paradise Island hasn’t been seen for almost a thousand years now,” Aquaman explained.

"Why are you asking this?" Could it be that you've taken a fancy to Paradise Island, a place full of women? The Sea King maliciously speculated in his mind.

“You all saw that woman hanging on the roof when you came in,” Carl said.

Everyone nodded; it was indeed a very eye-catching sight. However, those who dared to ask knew the truth, while those who didn't dare to ask, so no one mentioned it throughout the entire meeting.

“That’s an Amazon from Paradise Island. She caused trouble in Metropolis before, so I captured her and hung her up there. Sea King, do you have a way to contact Paradise Island?” Karl asked.

Aquaman was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't contact Paradise Island directly because they've hidden the island with magic for over a thousand years. However, there is a way if it's just a one-way message. I will send messages all over the ocean, and as long as Paradise Island isn't completely isolated from the world, they should be able to receive the message."

“Very good,” Karl said. “Tell them that if they don’t want this person to be dried into jerky, they should come and redeem her with the utmost sincerity.”

Neptune accepted the order, indicating that he understood.

"Do you need my help?" Night Owl asked.

“No, no need. Just focus on managing the newly formed Ultimate Alliance. Don’t get involved in this matter,” Karl replied.

He didn't plan to let Night Owl get close to Super Queen because in the original story, Night Owl was bewitched by Super Queen and neglected many important matters. Like Batman, Night Owl always suffers when faced with beautiful women.

In the original story, there was even an instance where Night Owl was having an affair with Supergirl, which caused his henchman, Eagle Claw, to not receive timely support and was torn apart by five horses.

It's easy to imagine how bad the Super Girl's influence is, so it's best for the two of them to avoid contact.

“Alright, that’s settled for now. You can leave. If you want to be away from the ring for a while longer, find somewhere to stay in the metropolis. Just don’t stay here with me,” Karl said.

“Okay, Superpower, I won’t bother you,” the Ringholder said immediately.

Carl dismissed everyone. Night Owl and Johnny Quick were to return to continue their research on the Space Detection Tower, striving to pinpoint the coordinates more precisely. Aquaman, on the other hand, was to carry out Carl's order to spread magical signals across the ocean so that the people of Paradise Island could receive them.

As for the Ringholder, he went outside to find a hotel. He enjoyed the time he spent apart from the ring, provided it wasn't for too long, because he still relied on the power the ring provided.

With his tasks finished, Karl could finally relax a bit. He delegated most of the work, and now all he needed to do was sit back and do nothing to test the effectiveness of the Ultimate Alliance, since the alliance was originally established to deal with any unforeseen events that might occur while he was away.

Now let's turn our attention to another universe.

That's the universe where Tokisaki Kurumi, a member of the group, resides.

In a huge crater, Kurumi Tokisaki nervously summoned her Zafkiel, a clock-shaped weapon with each number representing a time-related ability.

At this moment, both the hour and minute hands of the clock are firmly pointing to twelve o'clock, a number that represents the ability to travel through time to the past.

Everyone has regrets, and may wish they could go back in time to make up for them. Kurumi Tokisaki has this coveted ability.

Of course, such cheating ability comes at an extremely high price. It consumes a lot of the user's time. The further back in time the user travels to, the more time it consumes. Tokisaki Kurumi wanted to travel back to 30 years ago.

Even if Tokisaki Kurumi were a spirit with a lifespan far exceeding that of humans, she couldn't withstand such a drain on her time from such an ancient era. Therefore, she had to steal the time of others to achieve her goal.

'It's alright, as long as I can stop it before all the tragedy begins, none of the sacrificed will come back to life.' This is how Kurumi Tokisaki convinced herself to carry out the cruel time hunt.

Not long ago, with the help of a chat group, Kurumi Tokisaki finally managed to gather enough time in another world to return to 30 years ago.

The number twelve on the clock emitted spiritual energy, which flowed into the gun barrel. Then, Tokisaki Kurumi pointed the gun at her temple.

"If I just pull the trigger, everything will be corrected... but am I really doing the right thing?"

After overcoming countless hardships, the goal she wanted to achieve was finally within reach, yet Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment.

"What are you thinking? We've come this far, is there any turning back? I have no choice but to keep going!"

Bang!! Kurumi Tokisaki pulled the trigger, and her consciousness gradually faded.

--------

P.S.: Sorry, there was a slight mishap with the next chapter, it won't be updated until around 8 AM tomorrow.

Actually, this is good, as the update time isn't as inconvenient as before.

I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry.

Chapter 49 Back to the Past

When Kurumi Tokisaki opened her eyes again, she had arrived in the world 30 years in the past, but the place where she stood was still a terrain resembling a meteorite crater.

"What's going on? I clearly set the time before the first spacequake," Kurumi Tokisaki asked in confusion.

"Could it be because my power comes from the Primal Spirit, so I can't travel to the time before she appeared?" For now, this is the only guess I can make; I can't find a better explanation.

However, even if she successfully travels through time, she won't be able to save those who died in the first spacequake.

Kurumi Tokisaki was slightly depressed for a moment, but not for long. She quickly adjusted her mindset. Even if she couldn't save everyone, she couldn't waste any more time. The effect of sending herself to the past was only temporary. Once the Twelfth Bullet lost its effect, she would be sent back to the present.

Therefore, they had to act quickly. After realizing this, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately got up and flew towards the center of the pit.

On the surface, this world is an ordinary modern world. Thirty years ago, a disaster called spacequake suddenly appeared. This disaster is caused by fluctuations in space itself, which will ruthlessly destroy everything around it. To date, the number of people affected has exceeded 100 million.

Kurumi Tokisaki knew that all of this was caused by the spirits, or more precisely, by the original spirits. She didn't know why she was creating spirits using something called spirit crystals, and Kurumi Tokisaki was one of them. She was originally an ordinary person, but she was tricked into becoming a spirit.

After becoming an elf, one will occasionally appear in a place called the Neighborhood. When one returns to reality, it will cause a spacequake, which is the source of the disaster.

That's not all. Becoming an elf is not a guaranteed success. In fact, many more fail, and those who fail often lose their minds and turn into monsters.

Kurumi Tokisaki thought that the spirit she became was a righteous magical girl who would slay monsters, but she ended up killing people, including her best friend. All of this was a lie told by the original spirit.

So, in addition to wanting to save the victims, she also wanted to take revenge on the original spirits after traveling to the present.

Kurumi Tokisaki quickly flew to the center of the pit, where she saw a silver-haired woman radiating spiritual power, and beside her were two men and one woman, three humans.

Humans? How could there be humans here? And judging from their appearance, they definitely didn't appear by accident. That means they must know something about it!

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to slowly find out what was going on from them, so I could only try to kill the initial Pokémon as planned.

Kurumi Tokisaki condensed spiritual energy bullets and fired them fiercely at the initial spirit. She knew that her attack power was her weakness, so she kept firing bullets. Although she only had two guns, she created a barrage of bullets.

However, these attacks were useless against the Primal Spirit. She simply stood there without making any defense, and the spirit bullets dissipated instantly upon contact with her.

"So it wasn't that easy after all?" Tokisaki Kurumi wasn't too disappointed. It was easy to predict that the Primal Spirit was stronger than her, and coming to kill the Primal Spirit was an extremely risky thing to do.

"Since we don't have any spiritual power, let's try this!"

Kurumi Tokisaki activated the bracelet on her wrist, an anti-magic barrier that Karl had modified for her. It was easy to carry and activated much faster, covering an area of ​​two thousand meters in just an instant.

Kurumi Tokisaki and the original Spirit both lost their abilities; their spiritual power remained only within their bodies and could not be released.

The unexpected turn of events left the Primal Spirit somewhat bewildered. She stood there in a daze, while Kurumi Tokisaki showed no mercy. She had already landed and pulled out a modern Thompson submachine gun, firing directly at the Primal Spirit.

"Die!" Tokisaki Kyozo roared.

Da da da!!

The bullet tore through the body of the Primal Spirit, drawing out blood and bones. Soon, the Primal Spirit collapsed, covered in wounds.

The three people around were stunned. They never expected that the initial spirit they had painstakingly created by extracting the planet's spiritual energy would be killed by a mysterious person in the blink of an eye.

"Did it... did it work?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked incredulously. Was this too easy? She hadn't even risked her life. Or was the anti-magic barrier really that effective against spirits?

In any case, the method to verify it is very simple: Tokisaki Kurumi closes the anti-magic barrier, then cancels the effect of the Twelfth Bullet, and returns to the present.

……

Back in the present, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately took out a mobile phone and started browsing the internet. She directly searched for "spacequake" and prayed that she would see the word disappear.

However, things did not go as planned. The world did not change, the spacequakes still existed, and his actions seemed meaningless. The original spirits had not died at all.

And that was indeed the case. After Kurumi Tokisaki left, the initial spirit immediately recovered from her apparent severe injuries. She even completed the physical reconstruction on her own instincts, leaving no scars. And the events that followed were almost entirely unchanged.

"Failed... No! Try again, this time I will completely disintegrate her within the anti-magic barrier!" Tokisaki Kurumi was unwilling to accept defeat and prepared to try again. This time, she prepared even more weapons, determined to scatter the ashes of the original spirit.

Because Kurumi Tokisaki chose to return early, she still has a lot of time left to support another time travel.

The next instant, Tokisaki Kurumi returned to the same spot, and nothing changed. This meant that she still hadn't managed to kill the initial spirit. However, this time it wasn't without its gains. Tokisaki Kurumi had traveled to a more recent time, which allowed her to learn a lot of information.

"So that's how it is? This is the real beginning. Because his lover died, he wanted to resurrect him and turn him into a Primal Spirit like himself, which is why he caused all this trouble... Damn it!"

Kurumi Tokisaki was furious, but helpless. Her two time travels made her realize that she could not kill the original spirits. Even if the spirits stood still and let her hit them, she could not kill them.

"If that's the case, let's try a different approach. If the two of them weren't in love, wouldn't all these problems be avoided?" Tokisaki Kurumi thought, feeling it was worth a try.

So she opened the chat group and directly purchased an item from the online store.

Love Elixir 800 points

It was a small glass bottle containing a dizzying pink liquid.

The Elixir of Love comes from the world of doctors, and this bottle is specially made. The person who made it never intended for normal people to take it, so they just added whatever was most potent.
