Are you worthy of saving the world?

Just like the last time they talked in the living room.

In front of Yuli tonight, Rosalia's "rationality" that she was proud of was once again completely defeated by "emotion".

"At this very moment, you are as defenseless as a child... my accomplice, sir?"

Simply because she felt that the sleeping face was too adorable, Rosalia subconsciously reached out her hand and wanted to touch the boy's cheek.

"Are you awake, Your Highness?" Yuri suddenly opened his eyes.

“Ugh…!!!”

Rosalia's cheeks flushed and she withdrew her hand like lightning.

This little brat has been pretending to sleep since before... She bit her plump lips in embarrassment and annoyance.

Yuri yawned and raised his upper body: "Good morning, Your Highness."

"Good morning, Master Saint."

Rosalia quickly tidied up her messy hair and miserable appearance.

"Just call me Yuli."

The young man stretched and said, “Although I know you are still resting, I shouldn’t disturb you at this time.

But first tell me, who on earth could have hurt you like this?"

In the game, Rosalia Valentine Augusta is a woman surrounded by mysteries.

Although she had a daughter, she had no husband, and she never told anyone who Cecilia's biological father was.

Rosalia is one of the few humans of the eighth rank, three ranks higher than her brother, Emperor Augusta.

It is no wonder that there are rumors that the weak and mediocre royal brother is just a puppet of the Archduchess, and Rosalia is the real master of this empire.

Apart from purely buggy characters like the "Saint", the tenth level is the limit that humans can reach, and the eighth level can be said to be only two steps away from the end of humanity.

Even if Rosalia was not a professional specialized in combat, Yuli could not imagine anything that could hurt her so badly, almost to the point of death. Could it be that she had provoked a giant lizard that could breathe fire?

No, if it was her, even if she was facing a dragon...

"I'm Rosalia from the future."

The blonde Archduchess did not answer his question, but said something very incredible.

“A year later, I died in the promotion trial.

When I was dying, I sent my consciousness back to the present time, one year ago."

029 Return of the Soul

"Goddess Apocalypse" is a pay-to-win card-drawing and brushing game, and of course it also has the classic copy and task system.

The copy mechanism is a mysterious different-dimensional world called Singularity.

A special space-time singularity that is independent of the timeline and cannot be explained by any existing theory.

There are many different types of singularities.

Some of them are dream fragments from another unknown universe above the mirror.

Or it could be an illusory reflection of everything that has ever happened on this planet, whether in the past, present or future.

In addition, singularities are also divided into death type, non-death type, role-playing type, intervention type, multiplayer type, single-player type... and many other types.

Starting from the first rank, anyone holding a rank can enter the singularity to challenge.

Some people say that the singularity is a trial of fate prepared by the goddess to test the sons of men, while others claim that the singularity comes from some kind of great power that is superior to the goddess.

By the way, those who made the second statement were captured by the Knights Templar and forced to write confessions.

The current mainstream view is that the formation of singularities is closely related to dreams, and everything within the singularities is illusory and not real.

In the game, players form teams to enter dungeons of corresponding levels to obtain materials or complete related tasks.

At the same time, when a character is promoted to a rank of five or above, he or she must also complete a copy of the corresponding star level to complete it.

The same is true in the real world.

The difference is that in the game you can challenge dungeons an unlimited number of times, but in reality you obviously only have one life.

If you are unlucky and encounter certain death-type singularities, failure means the end of life (brain death).

"I'm Rosalia from the future."

The lady with golden curly hair sat on the bed and spoke calmly in an unbelievable way.

“A year later, I died in the promotion trial.

When I was dying, I sent my consciousness back to the present time, one year ago."

……

……

……

"You came a year later..."

Yuli opened his eyes wide and was secretly surprised.

Isn't that time travel? No, it should be called death return?

Although there are rumors that there is a magic that can reverse time in this world, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.

Not only that, the really amazing thing about Rosalia is that she returned from death in the singularity!

Singularities are space-time phenomena that transcend order and chaos and cannot be explained by any rules.

The fate of anyone who intervenes will be interfered with by the singularity itself.

"Is it the mechanism that triggers time reversal upon death? With the memories?" Yuli asked curiously.

Rosalia gave him a strange look, then denied it.

"So, I transferred my consciousness to a year ago when I was dying, not after I died. How can I go back in time if I'm dead?"

So that’s how it is. Yuli thought to himself: Tsk, it’s not the return of death... wouldn’t that be even more powerful!

Taking the initiative to open it and returning to a certain point in your life with your memories, isn't that time travel! ?

Yuli suddenly looked at her with a terrifying look of awe: The Empress's eyes that can see through lies + time travel, is there anything you can't do, Auntie?

As if she had sensed Yuri's thoughts, Rosalia sighed, "You seem to have misunderstood. This is not time travel."

"Why not?"

Rosalia rubbed her forehead with a troubled look on her face. “The term ‘sending consciousness back to the past’ is just for the sake of convenience, and it’s not appropriate.

The only thing I forgot was that you were an overly clever, whimsical kid. Let me put it more accurately."

“To be precise, it’s not the return of consciousness, but the resonance of the soul.

The souls of the two of me on the timeline resonated with each other, so "the current Rosalia" received the death information sent by "the Rosalia one year later".

The soul of "the current Rosaria" is mixed with some of the "residues of Rosaria from one year later", but this does not mean that the current me has obtained all the information.

For example, I have a very vague and completely unaware understanding of what happened in the next year and what happened in the dungeon. "

Not invincible time travel, but extremely weak interference in the past.

Although it is not very powerful from a gaming perspective, it is definitely a top-notch skill in reality.

Even so, the enthusiasm in Yuli's eyes suddenly faded.

"Is this your professional ability, or..."

Rosalia shook her head: "This is a secret technique that belongs only to me. I think... there should be no one else who can do this except me."

Mystic arts refer to skills/magic/divine arts that cannot be obtained through job upgrades.

The formation principle is not disclosed to the public, and the principle of secrecy is adhered to to ensure the absolute strength of the technique.

The Grand Duchess said calmly: "It was originally an unfinished ritual. Although there are only remnants now, if we continue to revise it in the future...

One day, it may not be impossible to transmit complete soul information to the past, and I am also trying to research this aspect. "

"...!"

Yuli's eyes became clear and warm again: Your Highness, I am determined to hold on to your red silk thigh with suspenders.

"So, what are the injuries on your body?"

Rosaria nodded: "It is a side effect of the secret technique - when trying to resonate the soul with the past, the body will also synchronize with the state at that time.

After all, the soul, body, and spirit belong to the holy trinity and they interact and influence each other subtly.

Since I used the secret technique when I was on the verge of death, my shattered body was also transmitted here.

Haha, at this time it completely becomes a side effect."

Rosalia stroked the bandage wrapped around her abdomen and looked deeply at the boy.

"……Thanks."

She spoke in a low but gentle voice, making sure the boy could hear: "It was you who saved me this time... Thank you, Yuri."

"You should. Now you owe me a favor."

Yuri emphasized with a playful smile: "Your Highness must repay me well in the future!"

Rosalia rolled her eyes and took back what she had said: "That's not cute."

Obviously, as long as he keeps his mouth shut and shows a pitiful expression, he will be a perfect handsome boy, alas...

"I will never forget your kindness this time. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, just let me know."

"Well, I won't be polite."

At this time, the first bright morning light of the day shone through the gap in the curtains, heralding the arrival of a new day.

Yuli and Rosalia looked out the window at the same time, feeling the warmth they had not felt for a long time in the cold night.

At this moment, the boy suddenly realized something: in "Goddess Apocalypse", Rosaria was at the eighth level, which meant that she also failed to be promoted in the game plot.

However, in the game, she escaped death and returned to the imperial capital or the Grand Duchy. In any case, she definitely never came to find Yuli.

Meanwhile, Rosalia chose the young accomplice with whom she had made an alliance for less than a week.
