Chapter 36 The Road Ahead, Where is the Present?
"No future? What does that mean? Naruto asked, confused.
"It literally means that from now on, the future of mankind is gone." The future said lightly.
"That's ......," Shion muttered.
"In other words, yours, Lord Ruby, has successfully destroyed this world because he has modified the future." The future has made up for it.
"I ...... I was wrong! Facing everyone's gaze, Hongyu decisively coaxed.
"I admit my mistake! Can't I cooperate? ”
"Excellent! I'm glad that Ruby-sama can have this kind of awareness. In a few words, the future grasped the initiative of Hongyu.
After that, she sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled out a blank scroll, and said, "Now, please tell Ruby-sama about the future of the first timeline!" ”
"...... The first timeline, what's that? "That many students were confused the whole time.
"If you want to understand what will change in the future, you have to have all the information at your fingertips. We need to know what Ruby-sama has changed. ”
"So, we have to understand what the normal future looks like before." Future Commentary.
After that, following the words of the future, Hongyu told the original battle of the Charm and the Spirit.
"Excellent! Removing the constant variable of the ghostly spirit, our variable is that the shrine maidens have suffered heavy casualties, and it has become possible that there are no casualties. The future concluded.
"Is it because the damned didn't die and the future changed?" Sasuke asked.
"Not sure yet, we only have one timeline of information now, and without a second one, we have no way to draw conclusions." As he spoke, the future looked at Ruby.
"Don't look at me!" Hongyu shook her head and said, "My pupil technique can only be used once a week. Now, I don't need it. ”
"Where's Aster?" The future is looking at the aster again.
"I ...... I used ...... five days ago," Shion said with some embarrassment.
"Eh~~, there's no way, I can only do it myself." Shaking his head, the eyes of the future turned into kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes.
"Huh? Can you see the future with these eyes? Looking into the eyes of the future, Ruby was able to see the three Magatama tails converging.
"Unborn Horizon!" According to the awakened pupil technique in the eyes, the eyes of the future are looking at the future.
"If we don't take any action, then the future ......" With this thought, from the endless light, the future found the future she wanted.
"Hmm!" With a twitch of his eyes, Mirai closed the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye and returned to the posture of the three hooks.
"Your eyes can see the future!" Hongyu sighed and asked, "Then why didn't you find the answer yourself?" ”
"I am the strongest existence of the four of us, and I will prioritize maintaining my combat strength to face the most difficult situation."
"Do you see the future now?" Ruby asked.
"I saw ......" Mirai responded as he wrote the contents of the second world line on the scroll.
After a while, Future looked up at Hongyu, and said lightly: "Lord Hongyu, you just lied?" ”
"Huh? Lied? Why did the Ruby Ancestor say that he was panicked? Shion asked.
"Perhaps, Ruby-sama doesn't know the outcome of the second timeline. So, she panicked! Here, Future speaks of the second timeline he sees.
"A white-haired, white-eyed woman and a black-haired and black-eyed man, they're going to crusade against the Ghost. After that, the man died in battle. ”
"I can't see all the details, but I'll try to be as detailed." Say hello in advance and continue in the future.
"After killing the man, the power of the Charm began to increase rapidly. Originally, its height was only as high as we saw, that is, tens of meters. ”
"However, after killing that man, the size of the ghost monster became as big as a mountain. No! Judging from the scale of the picture, the charm will be five times higher than the largest mountain here. ”
"No, it won't!" At this time, even Hongyu was dumbfounded.
"And then, the Ghost Monster destroyed the world?" Naruto asked.
"Nope! After this, another monster appeared, which had the same size as the Ghost Spirit. ”
"In the end, the two of them fought, and the ground was devastated because the battle was so fierce. Humanity, it seems, is so extinct. ”
"This ......" Listening to the contents of the second timeline in the future, Ruby fell silent.
"Comparing the two timelines, it's easy to identify the most critical factors. In addition to the unchanging charm and spirit, the biggest variable is ...... It's her! Mirai pointed his finger at the "white-haired and white-eyed shrine maiden".
"Ruby-sama said that our cause is the charm of the ghost. Actually, she knows that our real cause is this woman. Looking into Hongyu's eyes, Future said lightly.
"Why? Why lie? Glancing at Ruby, Sasuke asked Mirai.
"Probably, it's changed the future, but I don't want to bear the consequences!" Future said lightly: "Let me guess, the woman who has a relationship with us must not go far now." ”
"After all, our appearance came at the moment when Lord Ruby changed the future. In other words, Ruby-sama had just met her. ”
"Then we can catch up with them now, can we catch up with them!" Naruto said.
"Yes, but before that, Lord Ruby, please tell us where the Charm is located." The future said lightly to the red jade.
"Awesome!" With a sigh, Ruby told the future of the location of the ghost.
Then, just as the four of them were about to leave, Hongyu suddenly opened her mouth, and she said, "From the first time I saw you, I thought you were familiar. Then, after you opened your mouth, I knew your cause. ”
"Sorry! Two thousand years later, I didn't mean to hide it from you. For the past, the future is meaningless. But for the future, the past is crucial. ”
"I'm not afraid you know, I'm afraid she knows. Because I know her power, I care about it very much. So much so that ......"
"Forgive me......" grabbed the ground with her head, and Hongyu bowed to the four of them.
"Don't worry! He who knows will not speak, and he who does not know will not speak. The future looked back and said lightly.
"Thank you!" In Hongyu's thanks, Future walked out of the palace with the other three.
Then, as expected, the two groups met together.
