You are all my wings!

Boom! Boom!

The once clear and sunny wilderness plain was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled loudly.

Crack! Crack!

One after another, bolts of lightning ripped through the darkness, falling not far away and blasting open a large crater.

In the blink of an eye, lightning enveloped the carriage where everyone was, forming a continuous curtain of lightning.

Its commotion was so great that it was as if the world was about to end.

After the lightning struck, countless sparks flew and swept into the carriage.

This scene caused M'shiruna's expression to change slightly, and she hissed:

"Stop talking! The Goddess of Origin has become aware of this. If she really turns her attention to us, things will be really bad!"

Margaret quickly slipped into the carriage.

Because she discovered that, apart from M'shiruna's surroundings, the area around Leon was the safest, with no sparks getting close at all.

These electric flames were fierce; even the smallest spark was like a compressed version of a demigod-level magic.

With such a large number of people gathering here, this place has essentially become a super restricted area.

How did you do that?

She asked Lyon in a low voice.

"What should be done?"

"How can you analyze so many details so clearly and make so many judgments so easily?"

When Margaret was on the Long Stairway of Life and Death, she vaguely saw a graceful silhouette approaching Lyon in the mist, but she never expected that it was actually a manifestation of the will of one of the world's strongest gods.

Leon not only saw the figure, but also clearly determined that the split will was invaded by the pure elemental spirit Mshiruna. He also determined the location of the figure's main body and the ins and outs of the invasion. This information was many times better than any divination.

"What else could it be but my original [Elementary Deductive Truth Return Technique], which has allowed me to take my divination skills to the next level."

Lyon casually deceived Margaret, but in fact, the reason he was able to deduce so many results this time was mainly due to the buffs provided by the eight models.

"I see. Indeed, I still need to create a magic that best suits me."

Margaret believed it, and several people around her, including M'shiruna, also believed Leon's story.

The Thunder Curtain is truly formidable, making Leon's explanations far more convincing.

Immediately, a message appeared on the panel.

[Because you completely deceived the powerful effect of the Fundamental Deduction Technique in deducing facts, and convinced many gods and people with abundant destiny to believe it, you caused turbulence in the laws of origin, and you successfully triggered skill sublimation, transforming the Fundamental Deduction Technique into the Truth Deduction Technique.]

[Effects: It can deduce truth from facts, and can achieve a small-scale transformation between illusion and reality; the efficiency of the transformation between soul and matter is greatly improved.]

On the other hand, Mshiruna still had many questions in her mind.

She really wanted to ask Leon how he could tell that his past self, more than eighty years ago, hadn't been trapped in this time and space.

She wanted to know more about how those last words of his had suddenly triggered such a big change.

But just then, as the lightning curtain slowly subsided, a gigantic, illusory eyeball slowly coalesced within the thick, curtain-like clouds in the overcast sky, gazing in their direction.

Chapter 452 Leon's Explanation

Everyone felt suffocated.

Even though the giant eyeball did not actively release any divine power, just one glance from it was enough to make everyone feel an urge to worship it.

Even Mshiruna's delicate face turned pale without her noticing.

Leon also felt somewhat paralyzed, until he activated his Shadowless Form, enveloping Bai Shaqilai, Hamla, and Margaret, and then used Non-Real Deception to make their presence disappear, at which point the pressure noticeably decreased.

Even so, the burden was still enormous, and mental and magical energy were greatly depleted.

At the same time, M'shiruna's body was uncontrollably lifted into the air and flew towards the giant eyeball.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the four people's sight, his whereabouts unknown.

A little while later.

As the thunder subsided and the dark clouds dispersed, the enormous eyeball slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

Only the traces of lightning strikes around the area indicated that what had just happened was not a dream.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Lyon and the others withdrew from the Shadowless Form, slightly relieving the terrifying and suffocating feeling they had just experienced.

"Mother... was my sister taken back by the Goddess of Origin?"

Hamra couldn't help but ask.

"It seems that's how it is," Lyon said.

He hadn't expected it to turn into such a big event.

According to the panel prompts, it was because of his own sublimated [Truth Deduction Technique] that the Origin Law was disturbed?

Because Hamra and Mushiruna, two pure elemental spirits, believed their own deception, the laws of origin also changed accordingly, causing turmoil, which attracted the goddess of origin.

When the Origin Goddess arrived and discovered Mshiruna, she assumed it was this guy's doing, so she simply took her away.

Lyon thought to himself, it seems that M'shiluna has become his scapegoat.

Hamra's expression was complicated: "Thinking about it carefully, although my sister is a bit cunning and has trapped us in this time and space, she has not directly threatened our lives."

Bai Shaqilai scoffed: "She just didn't threaten your life. As for me, she stole my life essence and cut off countless years of my lifespan."

Hamra then said, "I believe she has her reasons."

Leon could understand Hamra's feelings because her life with M'shiruna for the previous twenty years was not fake, and she couldn't judge the emotions involved.

Margaret asked, "Leon, what did you mean by your last sentence?"

Which sentence?

“You said, ‘It is precisely because it is me that you were able to use the will of the Goddess of Origin to send me to the distant past, to see you before you entered the cycle of history and before you were trapped.’ I just can’t understand that statement.”

Margaret said:

"What do you mean by 'you' who hasn't entered the historical cycle and isn't trapped yet? And why is it you who can go to such a distant future?"

“Then let’s do it one at a time.”

Lyon explained:

"Firstly, why am I the only one who can go to such a distant future? There are two reasons. First, because my rank is low, the consumption of converting matter into information is the lowest. Second, because I obtained the first [Investigation of Things] in history, the Goddess of Origin would normally set up a slightly more difficult test to give more room for maneuver. In other words, she can allocate more energy to send me back."

Margaret suddenly realized: "I see. Now, what about the other question?"

Leon held up a finger and said, "Based on our previous conversation, we've confirmed that M'shiluna has at least two shackles on her body, right?"

Margaret was taken aback: "Isn't there only one spacetime restriction?"

Lyon said, "No, the spacetime seal is a prison, and inside the prison, there are shackles that seal her off. It's a double protection."

"What are the shackles that bind her?"

Margaret asked quickly.

"It is either a sacred tree or a sacred fruit that grows on a sacred tree."

Lyon said:

“I have carefully analyzed all the plans and found that even if Msiluna’s body is successfully reconstituted, she will not be able to break free from the control of the Goddess of Origin, nor does she have the high level of mastery of spacetime to break the spacetime loop.”

The three women fell into deep thought.

Bai Shaqilai said thoughtfully, "If we can't break the cycle, then what's the purpose of sending us here? It can't all be for our life essence, can it?"

Lyon said, "This is also a point of doubt. Based on the results of the previous divinations, I think the core effect of the Life Essence is 'regeneration power'. If one condenses the Life Essence, one may be able to live again after death. But in theory, the Life Essence is usually only useful to the one who condenses it. I can't judge her purpose in collecting these things for the time being."

In fact, when M'shiruna answered Baisaqilai's question earlier, saying that she would get an opportunity, Leon believed that she had inadvertently revealed her true purpose.

But he hadn't figured out the specific purpose yet.

However, he had already figured out another matter, and said:

"Actually, there is still a way to break the cycle even if one's understanding of spacetime is insufficient."

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Margaret's eyes suddenly lit up:

“I understand what you mean. The only way to get rid of this prison and shackles at the same time is to send someone back to before she was imprisoned and rewrite this history so that the Goddess of Origin does not discover that she is actually a pure elemental electric spirit from the previous era. That way, she will naturally be saved, right?”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Hamra and Baisaqilai looked at Lyon with sparkling eyes.

To glean so much intelligence from just a few exchanges—that's my Leon for you!

No wonder M'shiruna was so moved after Leon said that.

[Main character Hamra's affection level increased by 4%, current affection level 184%]

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +4%, current favorability 127%]

[Goddess Margaret's favorability +4%, current favorability 42%]

After Margaret's favorability rating surpassed 40%, Leon unexpectedly discovered a very subtle change in his skin.

It has become smoother and more delicate.

This feeling is difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

But with his current terrifying mental strength, he naturally sensed it with ease.

Hamra blinked and said, "Leon, you looked even more handsome just now."

Margaret looked surprised as well: "Indeed, what's wrong with you? How come you suddenly become even more radiant?"

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to realize that she had said something inappropriate, so she turned her head away.

[Goddess Margaret's favorability +4%, current favorability 46%]

Lyon was speechless. "My change is because of you, Miss Margaret. Your favorability can increase my charm."

"But, darling, how did you determine the exact time my sister was trapped?"

Hamra couldn't help but ask.

Lyon said:

"It was also deduced from your memories. In fact, up until the two of us left the Holy Land, she had not yet been discovered by the Goddess of Origin and was still playing the role of the pure elemental spirit of this generation. It wasn't until the Holy Tree prophesied again and summoned a large number of powerful people from the Holy Land that you and I escaped, she was controlled, and the cycle officially began."

And it was precisely at that time, as the starting point of the cycle, that a spacetime rift existed, which was precisely opened by my secret [Frozen Void]. Then, because of me, Bai Shaqi Lai regained her memories before the life-and-death reversal, and you were also teleported here. These events are all interconnected.

In fact, what Lyon judged was that the spacetime rift was triggered and opened by the panel.

First, the panel met with Bai Shaqilai from the future, triggering the power of spacetime calibration, which then amplified the rift in the time loop, leading to the unlocking of his [Frozen Void] mystery. Subsequently, Mshiruna on the [Long Staircase of Life and Death] noticed the anomaly and pulled Leon back to the long staircase, resulting in the previous dialogue.

The core evidence is that when he was born as Bell, he met Helvie and Hamla from the original timeline, but only calibrated the panel data. However, he did not unravel the mystery of his time system, indicating that there was no time rift at that time.

Hamra's eyes lit up with realization: "So, the time I was teleported here is also the time when the time loop started? Why did you do that, sister?"

Lyon said, "The reason is hard to say for now, but what is clear is that you are also a spacetime anchor point, an object that she must experience in multiple time loops."

Bai Shaqilai said, "So, the Sacred Tree summoned powerful beings actually to capture Mshiluna? In the original timeline, she was already trapped. But now, with various preparations, she successfully avoided that crisis and came to find us two months later. But because of you, Leon, her plan was exposed again, attracting the Origin Goddess's capture?"

Leon said, "That's right. She most likely conveyed some kind of time and space message to me, which is why when I met M'shiruna ten years ago, she said, 'You are the Bell.' It seems that she obtained information about her future self through me as a medium."

Hamra's eyes widened as she recalled the details of what had happened:

“Indeed, at first, my mother and sister felt like strangers when they saw you, but after getting closer, they seemed to recognize you. But it must have been the first time my mother had seen you. Even if she had heard about the prophecy about you, she shouldn’t have been able to recognize your appearance and name directly!”

Lyon nodded: "At first I also thought she had just heard about the prophecy about me, but upon closer reflection, her behavior at the time was indeed unusual."

Margaret said, "So what do we do now? Mshiruna has been captured and taken back, so her intrusion into the [Stairway of Life and Death] should have been discovered, right? Can we still return smoothly?"

"Hard to say."

Bai Shaqilai's expression turned solemn: "What I fear most is that we will be trapped in this time loop with her... No, we are not gods. Perhaps without the [Life and Death Path] operation, if we die here, we might really die."

Her life essence was taken away, and her assessment of the subsequent situation is not optimistic.
