Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

"..."

Ilya closed her eyes, her body trembling as she let out a silent wail, the occasional sob escaping her throat sounding like a cuckoo weeping blood.

She suddenly felt that she was a self-righteous sinner.

She thought Chloe would be better off without her, but she forgot what Ilya really meant to Chloe.

She already regrets the hasty decision she made back then.

After crying in Adam's arms for an unknown amount of time, Ilya lifted her teary eyes and suddenly rallied.

"Of course! There must be a way, right?"

"Simple, just keep Pandora's box from being opened."

"Eh?"

Chapter 177 My mother is Ilya!

What exactly is Pandora's Box?

Inside the dark cave, a petite blonde girl hummed a song, held up her handlebars, and led the way.

She was taking Adam and Ilya to see the box the gods had given her.

"Speaking of which, Pandora is clearly the name of this box, so why do you all call me by that name?"

"What can we do? You don't even have a name."

"I am the key to the box, and it feels strange to call the key the same as the box."

Pandora muttered something, then noticed Adam whispering something to Ilya, and immediately walked away to his other side, somewhat displeased.

She hugged the man's free arm and rubbed it against him with her small, dove-like breasts.

When she saw Ilya looking at her with a complicated expression, she glared back at her like a jealous girl asserting her dominance.

Ilya could only manage a wry smile.

She slept for too long; Adam had been with Pandora for a full hundred years and had long since captured the young girl's heart.

That's a cow!

The saying goes, "The longest-lasting love is companionship," and Darius is definitely wearing that hat now.

However... after seeing Darius and Pandora spend a thousand years together in the time travel, Ilya felt that they were not really lovers. One was like, "I want to die, can you please kill me?" and the other was like, "You wait, I'll figure out how to kill you after possessing generations of people." Their relationship was quite strange.

Never mind, none of this matters.

The key point is that, in this case, the box that the first Darius gave him will probably be useless.

"Adam~"

"Ok?"

"Tell me about my mythology?"

The sweet, innocent girl had a melodious voice like a nightingale's song, and her eyes sparkled.

On her youthful and beautiful face, there was not only affection and admiration, but also curiosity.

"The legends about you in later generations, let me think."

In modern Greek mythology within the broader pan-human history, Pandora is a human woman created by Hephaestus from clay at Zeus's behest, with the intention of avenging Prometheus's creation of man and the theft of fire.

At Zeus's command, each of the gods gave her a gift.

Aphrodite gave her hormones that drive men crazy.

Hera gave her curiosity.

Athena gave her ignorance and taught her to weave, creating beautiful garments of all colors that made her look even more radiant and charming.

Hermes taught her the gift of language, which was the gift of lying.

Zeus gave this woman the name Pandora.

In ancient Greek, this name means "possessing all gifts".

Furthermore, Zeus gave Pandora a box, but her husband Epimetheus, heeding his brother's advice, always prevented her from opening it.

One day, Pandora's curiosity triumphed over everything.

She opened the box, and a cloud of smoke burst out, containing happiness, plague, sorrow, friendship, disaster, love, and so on. Before Pandora opened the box, humanity had no disasters and lived in peace because all emotions and diseases were locked inside, thus sparing humanity from torment.

Pandora was terrified and frantically covered the box, but it was too late; all that remained inside was "hope."

After listening, the blonde girl suddenly realized, "I understand! So you also have the name Epimetheus!"

"……never mind."

He and Ilya exchanged a glance.

This Pandora isn't very smart.

As we all know, the mythological truth of the Type-Moon universe is the most abstract, and Greek mythology is the most absurd.

Even the main gods of a pantheon can be spaceships.

What other settings are not allowed to appear?

But when they saw the so-called Pandora's Box, both Adam and Ilya couldn't help but laugh.

"Is this the magic box the gods gave you?"

It was a huge black cube, floating silently in the empty mountain belly like a magnetic levitation device, full of science fiction elements.

"Yes, this is a planetary security mechanism created by the gods, something like historical redundancy... I don't understand."

The not-so-bright girl introduced them.

"This thing is a world branch correction device."

Adam circled around, praising the Greek gods' scientific abilities: "You can think of it as a backup of the world line. Before it opened, the world line was where we are now. The moment it opened, the world line was swapped, and everyone was swapped to the new world line, leaving the bad things in the old world line, in this box. This box is used to avoid some predetermined disaster."

"Yes! The gods said something similar when they gave it to me."

The blonde girl looked at them curiously: "Are we opening it now?"

Adam did not speak.

He was looking at Ilya.

Ilya's current expression is exactly like that of a pink pig being chased by a sorcerer, she couldn't be more unlucky.

She sighed helplessly, "Even if I do nothing, this box will eventually open, right?"

That is indeed the case.

Chloe's "Root Cause Operation" is undoubtedly a higher priority than Ilya's "History Correction".

Pandora's box will definitely be opened, and the timeline will definitely be changed. As an outsider to this timeline, Ilya cannot enter the new timeline. She can only stay in the old timeline with the disaster and be put into the box.

And so, everyone will forget her.

That's why Chloe gets to the root of the problem.

Once the root cause of the problem is determined, the cause of opening the Pandora's box cannot be changed.

The moment it opens, everything will be settled.

"Cause and effect are such wondrous things."

"To change the result, you must first change the cause."

Adam gave a typical example: "Take origami and Mio Takamiya as examples."

"The planet's will is that Mio Takamiya needs Origami to become a spirit—Origami Tobiichi must become a spirit—becoming a spirit and returning to five years ago to accidentally kill her parents. You see, the latter two matters cannot be logically closed; they require a first cause, namely, Mio Takamiya needs Origami to become a spirit."

"So, my alteration of history is the primary reason Chloe traveled to the Roots?"

"right!"

Ilya wants to change history and save the world—Ilya travels back 6,000 years to change history, enters the Pandora's Box, and makes everyone forget her—Chloe enters the Root to bring Ilya back.

The result has been determined.

"Now, it depends on how you change the cause."

Clever Ilya racked her brains.

Before long, her eyes lit up as she found the key point.

"If I don't enter the Pandora's Box with the old timeline after opening it, wouldn't that mean I've succeeded?"

How did you do that?

"I...I...I just won't go in, okay?"

"You're not from Miyu's world line, Illya. There's no place for you in the new world line that's been backed up in the Pandora's Box. You can't do it."

"Adam!!"

The girl looked at him with her big, watery eyes, like a little animal.

Just as she usually relied on Chloe, Miss Ilya naturally turned to him when she encountered difficulties.

But Adam refused.

"Think about it yourself; this is your punishment."

"Why is this..."

Adam went over there and kissed and hugged Pandora.

Pandora during this period was both adorable and innocent, completely unlike the gloomy and withdrawn woman she became six thousand years later.

so good……

Ilya withdrew her gaze, squatted down under the magic box, and pondered the possible solutions.

What should someone named Illyasviel von Einzbern do to avoid being left behind by the new world line?

Think carefully and reflect calmly.

Who exactly is Ilya?

What is her background?

As time passed, the girl gradually grasped a clue.

“I am Chloe’s second personality. Her existence came first, and so did mine… I want to exist in this timeline, but Chloe must exist in this timeline… But the Einzbern family doesn’t exist in this world, so how can she appear?”

Yes, she has found a clue.

To change the outcome, Chloe, the real Ilya, must appear in this world before Pandora's box is opened.

Ilya wants to save the world—Ilya returns to 6,000 years ago to change history—Ilya exists in a new world line and will not be forgotten by everyone—Chloe no longer enters the Root.

The logic is sound.

But what should we do?

"How can the real Ilya be born?"

Ilya murmured to herself.

Beside her, Ms. Tanaka scratched her head: "Why don't you just have one yourself?"

Ruby chimed in, "Exactly! Just think about it, Ilya. Chloe, who always spoils you like a little sister, what if she called you 'Mommy' in a cute little voice..."

"Waaah, stop it, Ruby!"

Ilya pressed down on the shameless magic wand, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Her big eyes, however, sparkled with an eager light.

However, that glimmer of light quickly dimmed.

"That's impossible. My current body is made of magical energy, just like a Servant. It's impossible for me to have children."

That's true.

According to the dialogue between Jeanne d'Arc and Sieg in Higashide's works, Servants cannot give birth to children, but they can after being defiled.

Don't ask them why they're discussing this; Joan of Arc fans are going to cry.
