Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and everyone instinctively grabbed onto something solid nearby.
"Earth-earthquake?"
"How could this be? An earthquake doesn't make this sound, Rei-ne!"
"Yes, after analysis, it has been confirmed that it is a spirit, but a spirit with such great power..."
"This reaction is unmistakable; it's... the reverse!"
Upon hearing this news, Mo Li immediately stood up. The Reversal Form only occurs when one's heart is filled with despair, turning an angel into a demonic negative spirit.
It seems that Westcott's goal is to reverse the sprite; it's another new move by DEM.
Everyone looked at the main screen, where countless black and purple light swords descended from the sky, casually blasting away an entire street.
The light appeared to be an indiscriminate attack, causing devastating damage to many citizens.
Looking around, the ground was a mess, a scene that sent chills down one's spine, like hell itself.
"That's... Commander, look at the sky!"
Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a girl dressed in black spirit armor floating in the sky, sitting there with her knees drawn up to her chest, surrounded by a ring of feather-like floating cannons.
Mo Li recognized the person as Origami at a glance. But what had she gone through? She was fine when she fought him that morning. How long had it been? She had become a reversed form.
"Origami...?"
"I wonder. Is that an origami master?"
"No way, Origami Tobiichi has turned into this!"
Yuzuru, Kaguya, Miku, Yoshino, and the others all had similar expressions, looking incredulous.
As elves, they could better understand how terrifying the spiritual power emanating from origami could be.
Mo Li turned to walk towards the ground, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Shi Zhi.
"Mo Li, where are you going?"
"Isn't it obvious? Go fight, and kill her!"
"No, Origami... Origami must have done something to become like this!"
"What does this have to do with me? She is indeed very talented, but the transformed fairy is no longer the same person she used to be."
Mo Li snorted coldly. If it were Origami from this morning, he might have been interested in taking her as a familiar, but now that she was a spirit that couldn't even control herself, he really didn't think much of her.
Just as Mo Li was about to knock Shi Zhi unconscious, a familiar voice suddenly came from the air.
"Oh dear, is there some infighting going on? Looks like I've come at the wrong time!"
A shadowy figure loomed on the floor of the underground facility, from which emerged a girl dressed in red and black gothic attire, her left eye, Zz'flicker, shining brightly in the darkness.
"Tokisaki Kurumi!"
"Hehehe, long time no see, Shiori-kun."
Kurumi covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly, while lifting her skirt and bowing to the crowd.
The moment Mo Li saw Kurumi, she knew that this matter was definitely related to her.
You know, Kurumi is known for her kind heart, so perhaps Origami's reversal has her reasons, otherwise why would she come knocking on her door at this time?
"Kurumi, do you know the inside story of Origami's reversal? Did she contact you?"
"As expected of Mo Lijun, I only did what I was supposed to do, and you have all seen the result."
"Hey, you didn't use the twelfth bullet, did you?!"
Mo Li suddenly realized a possibility: the only thing that could cause the origami to reverse was the truth about killing her parents.
And the only one who could make her know this was Kurumi, the spirit who manipulates time.
Kurumi nodded generously, acknowledging it, and said:
"Just as you said, I used the power of Zafkiel's strongest bullet—the Twelfth Bullet—to send Origami back five years. As for what happened after that, I don't know."
"So that's how it is. After discovering that you were the one who killed your parents, you were transported back to the present?"
Mo Li finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and things proceeded according to the established facts.
Seeing this, Shi Zhi (Zhao De Zhao) couldn't help but ask:
"Wait, wait, you're saying Origami killed her parents herself? How is that possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. It's clearly written in the Whispering Book that Origami accidentally killed her parents after becoming a fairy. I just didn't expect what would happen next."
"Is this why you won't tell Origami the truth, Izumi?"
"That's right, if she knew, she would definitely commit suicide to atone for her sins!"
Mo Li nodded. Originally, he wanted to wait until everything was over, then let Kurumi absorb his time and go back five years to change that ending.
Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned, and Origami still found out the truth. Now, she had no choice but to kill her herself.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, Zafkiel!"
A giant clock appeared behind Kurumi, its shadow seeping out from the numbers on the dial and disappearing into the muzzle of a gun.
Immediately afterwards, Kurumi smiled slightly and pointed the gun at Mo Li.
"Now it's up to you, Mo Lijun!"
Chapter 172 An Unchangeable History: Am I an Accomplice Too?
Before Mo Li could react, Kurumi had already pulled the trigger, and the Twelfth Bullet hit Mo Li.
Mo Li felt as if she had fallen into darkness. Her sense of balance vanished instantly, and she could no longer distinguish up from down from left from right. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she slowly fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, the glaring sunlight hit her eyes, and Mo Li couldn't adjust to it for a while.
"Seriously, you didn't even give me time to prepare, Kurumi, you're way too impatient!"
Mo Li could understand Kurumi's feelings; Origami's transformation was partly due to her own actions.
Kurumi must have guessed that Mo Li would kill Origami, which is why she arrived in time and couldn't wait to use the Twelfth Bullet.
Five years ago, it was unclear whether the world was a parallel universe or part of the same timeline.
Regardless of which world it is, the point is that there is no such person as Mo Li now.
Mo Li thought about it and decided it was best not to interfere too much with history. Time is a thing that can easily cause a huge mess and create countless parallel universes.
I don't know when Kurumi sent me here, and Origami probably hasn't had her comeback yet.
"Hehehe, it seems Mo Lijun, you have successfully arrived five years in the past!"
Just as 717 was pondering the timeline, Kurumi's voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere in her mind.
Although she couldn't see her, Mo Li knew that Kurumi could see this world through her.
"I'm telling you, using the Twelfth Bullet twice in a row must have taken quite a bit of time, I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths for a stranger!"
"Oh my, is Mo Lijun worried about me?"
"Tch, tell me how long it will be before origami becomes a reality, so I can make arrangements in advance!"
"It'll be here soon, Mo Lijun, what are you planning to do?"
Kurumi wanted to know what Mo Li was going to do, because only the Demon King could change history.
If Mo Li succeeds this time, it means that the incident thirty years ago can also be changed, the fate of the elves will be altered, and they will live happily as humans.
Upon hearing Kurumi's words, Mo Li pondered for a moment. He thought that as long as he stopped Origami from killing her parents, that would be enough.
"With my strength, subduing Origami is no problem. I just need to keep her from knowing that she killed her parents."
"That certainly seems like the choice Mo Lijun would make. Well then, I wish you great success in your military endeavors!"
Mo Li flew towards the interior of Tengu City. It seems that Kotori Itsuka also became a spirit around this time.
In other words, the initial spirits will also appear. If we try to stop them now, no, no, the timeline will definitely be messed up, and even the familiars might change.
I don't seem to know where Origami lived five years ago. How am I supposed to find her?
Mo Li was momentarily at a loss, but fortunately Kurumi came to his rescue in time:
"That's what Shiori-kun said in Nanko Town, Tengu City!"
"Nanjia Town, I see!"
After learning the exact location, Mo Li headed straight for Nanjia Town, just in time to witness Qinli transforming into an elf.
A flash of red light appeared, and a huge flame fell from the sky, engulfing the entire town.
Houses and trees caught fire, spacequake alarms sounded, and residents began to scatter and flee.
"It seems we arrived at just the right time. Kotori has become a fairy, and Origami's parents are still alive."
"I advise you to hurry up. The appearance of the phantom means that origami is about to enter this era."
"Such powerful spiritual energy, I can already sense her!"
Mo Li smiled and suddenly looked up. There she saw Origami, dressed in a white wedding gown, appearing in the air. She had not yet reversed her form.
The moment Origami saw the phantom, her anger was palpable. Ever since she learned from Shiori that the phantom might be her enemy, Origami had been thinking about revenge all the time.
The floating cannons on the feather-shaped torture stakes behind him aimed at the phantom and fired, the beam of light shooting rapidly toward the phantom.
The phantom dodged, and the two engaged in a battle in the sky, or rather, it was Origami venting her anger on her own.
Each beam pierced through the phantom's form, but failed to harm her in the slightest.
Seeing this, Mo Li also summoned the Blade of Rebellion and charged into the battlefield.
Origami was surprised to see Mo Li for a moment, then pointed the cannon at him and said:
"Mo Li? Get out of my way! I'm going to kill this guy!"
"Well, although I also want to kill her, I want to tell you that she is not your enemy."
"Impossible! Are you kidding me? If it's not Kotori, if it's not Phantom, then who is it?"
Mo Li was about to reveal the truth when Kurumi stopped her.
“We can’t tell her the truth now. If you do, history will still happen, the origami will be reversed, and then it’s the same as nothing changing.”
"Then what do you suggest I do?"
"Delaying time is only effective with the Twelfth Bullet; it will return once the time is up."
So, in the end, we still have to fight? Mo Li got into position. As long as we can stall until the effect of the Twelfth Bullet ends, everything will be fine. Leave everything to me.
Phantom didn't seem surprised at all by Mo Li's appearance. As the original spirit, she could tell at a glance that Mo Li and Origami had arrived here through the Twelfth Bullet.
"Sorry, Origami, I'll explain later!"
"I will never trust you again, Extinction Angel—Shemesh!"
The floating cannons behind Origami fired countless beams of light at Mo Li, but Mo Li dodged them all.
One of the projectiles happened to hit the spot where Origami's parents were. Little Origami watched helplessly as her parents disappeared before her eyes, her innocent pupils radiating intense malice.
"It's you! Unforgivable! I'll kill you... I absolutely will kill you...!" 64460
The little origami's voice soared to the heavens, and every word was heard by the elf origami.
Mo Li sensed that something was wrong with Origami's behavior, and realized that he had become an accomplice. Damn it.
Only a few seconds had passed, but what happened was something Origami would never forget. It turned out that she was the one who killed her parents. Origami's hand fell limply to her side.
The effect of the twelfth bullet reached its limit at this moment, sending origami back to its original era.
Mo Li's expression was rather unpleasant. Was this what they called historical revision? Even with the addition of Mo Li, a transmigrator, nothing had changed.
The phantom had disappeared at some point, and Mo Li was too lazy to ask any further questions.
Turning her head to look at the origami on the ground, a series of negative expressions, including loneliness, helplessness, and anger, appeared on her face.
"Dad...Mom..."
The burning building was about to collapse. Mo Li sighed and thought, "Consider it something I owe you." He bent down and rushed down to bring Origami to safety.
"You are……"
"Your future lover traveled through time specifically to save you, but it seems I failed!"
"Couple? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
