I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

"Speaking of which, the reason why you reacted so strongly is probably because you saw the memory fragments of the female assassin, right?"

Hagoromo Fox thought about it for a moment. Among the memory fragments that just fell, there was a fragment of the encounter between the silver-haired girl and Den-O. Coupled with Inoue Ueya's reaction, she could guess something.

"I have to say that that girl is indeed a rare and powerful enemy. It's a pity that I didn't have time to swallow her live liver during that battle. If I had gained that kind of acceleration ability, you wouldn't have anything to do here."

When Inoue Ueya heard this, his movements froze. Even if he came to his senses immediately, there was no way the Hagoromo Kitsune could miss this flaw, and the tachi in his hand stabbed straight into his chest.

Seeing the approaching crisis, Inoue Ueya gritted his teeth and ran forward instead of retreating, leaning on one side. Although he avoided the fatal blow, the passing sword still made a gash in his side. Blood bursts out.

Although the Trickster form without armor has flexible mobility and the ability to distort reality, its defensive performance is far inferior to that of the initial platform form. Just an ordinary knife is enough to injure Inoue Ueya.

"Ah, I know the past where you were brutally killed by humans..."

Pain came, but Inoue Ueya's movements did not stop because of this. He stretched out his left hand to grab the sharp blade that passed by. His clenched right hand condensed white lightning again, and struck a knight's fist at the haloromo fox. It was smashed into the face.

"But this is no reason to allow you to kill innocent lives at will!"

Hagoromo Kitsune had no time to react. No, it would be better to say that she did not expect that Inoue Ue would rush forward at the risk of death. Even though she subconsciously wanted to raise her sword to resist, the sword in her hand was blocked by the opponent. He held on tightly, and had no choice but to use his telekinesis again to resist.

But just like before, Inoue Ueya's fist directly shattered Hagoromo Kitsune's mental barrier and hit her in the face.

A burst of severe pain almost caused the Hagoromo Kitsune to faint, and the overwhelming force sent her flying backwards for several meters. For the first time, Inoue Ueya successfully injured the big monster in front of her.

"This world does not need to be dominated by anyone at all. If you still insist on this idea, your fantasy is up to me - ah!"

As Inoue Ueya spoke, he walked towards the Hagoromo Fox, but he ignored the gravel on the road. He stumbled directly on the gravel, and his body instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground. His head fell into the pile of gravel next to him. , and then, as if triggering some chain reaction, the nearby ruins also collapsed, burying him alive in the blink of an eye.

He was handsome for only three seconds, and Inoue Ue temporarily lost his ability to fight.

[Hey, I told you not to use Fantasy Killer. With the power of the singularity and Fantasy Killer's ability to erase luck, you really don't want your life. 】

Chapter 273: Don’t taint someone’s innocence out of thin air

Only then did the situation begin to reverse slightly. Inoue Ueya, who planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue, was inexplicably plotted by a small stone on the roadside. He was buried alive in the blink of an eye. The exhaustion of physical strength and the sudden impact caused him to temporarily lose consciousness.

"My lord husband!"

"Hey, did you actually let go at a critical moment..."

Natsukawa Hanako and Hatachi Sachi, who were watching the battle not far away, were also stunned for a moment, as if they did not expect such an unfolding. After reacting, the two ran towards Inoue Ueya without saying a word.

Hagoromo Fox froze on the spot, looking at Denou who was half buried in the rubble. She couldn't understand what had just happened.

Even in the past thousand years of reincarnation, she has never encountered such a strange person. This guy's luck is really too bad. Should she take this opportunity to kill him?

Could this be another trap?

Hagoromo Kitsune thought of the topic Inoue Ueya mentioned, a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then shook his head.

"I have long been prepared to wake up. Even if my life is in ruins, as long as I can see the bright side again, no matter who it is, I will take action without mercy."

In the past, I was hunted by humans because of rumors of immortality, but now I just do it to realize a feasible reincarnation technique.

"I have made it known beforehand that I have never felt the slightest bit guilty about the things I have done."

Humans can kill her for their own selfish desires. There is no problem in hunting humans and collecting life force to complete the spell, right?

"No matter how beautifully you say it, good and evil are completely meaningless to me. My death at the hands of humans is an unchangeable fact, and the same goes for the death of humans captured by monsters at my hands. It’s just a pure reversal of the positions of hunter and prey.”

——Yes, since humans and monsters cannot coexist, it would be enough to let the "darkness" representing the monsters engulf the entire world.

Inoue Ueya's punch did succeed in injuring the Hagoromo Fox, but her injury was not serious. With the big monster's physique, it would only take a while to recover, which was not enough to defeat her.

Hagoromo wiped the nosebleed from his face, stood up from the ground, and looked up at Rikuo Nura in the distance.

"Compared to Den-O, there are other people who need to be dealt with in a timely manner."

With this thought in mind, Hagoromo Fox once again concentrated his telekinesis and threw it towards Ueya Inoue, then turned around and flew towards Rikuo Nura's position.

Boom!

The speed of the telekinesis bullet was so fast that even the approaching Yoshiko Yoshiki had no time to stop the attack, and successfully hit the rubble pile. After a loud noise, the rubble pile was smashed into powder by the telekinesis bullet, and only the gasping "Inoue" could be seen. "Zhiye" appeared not far away. It seemed that he had been affected by the telekinesis bullet. The dress on his body looked a bit messy at this time.

"Huh, it's really dangerous this time..."

The person who is now controlling Inoue Ueya's body is Yasori, who barely escaped from the rubble before being hit by the telekinetic bomb, and avoided the fatal blow.

Since Ertiao City has collapsed, it is a bit troublesome for people on the ground to hit the giant black baby in the sky. Most of the attacks cannot hit, and even if they successfully hit the target, the power of the moves will be greatly weakened due to the distance problem and cannot be broken. Turn on the defense of "Nue".

At this time, Nura Rikuo once again engaged Kurodabo in a ghost attack. The endless blades emerging from his sleeves were pointed at the target in the sky, and he murmured in a low voice: "There are two ways to use ghost attack. "Fear Attack" is to use The "fear" of my partner is covered with my own body, thereby gaining different abilities. The "fear cannon" I am using now is the second way to use it. I shoot the ghostly target with the "fear" as a cannonball, inflicting heavy damage in one breath. The enemy's unique trick is just right for use now..."

Nura Rikusheng casually flicked his sleeves, and with Kurodabo's "fear", the endless blade shot out with a devastating force. However, just when the blade was about to hit the giant baby, it suddenly stopped. When it came down, it was not falling because it was too far away, but it was stagnant in mid-air and could no longer move forward.

It was Hagoromo Kitsune who stopped Weigun. She used the power of telekinesis to hold herself up in the air, quickly rushed to the side of the dark giant baby, and took all the oncoming attacks.

"Last time, I underestimated your strength and the Jing Mole Cricket was lost. It is impossible for me to make the same mistake again."

"Hey, has the agent been defeated over there..."

Nuliang Lusheng gritted his teeth and then said: "Yu Zi!"

Yu Zi, who was standing nearby, sighed. In the absence of the agent, the only one they could fight against the Hagoromo Fox was Guimai. They really couldn't think of a better way, so Yu Zi had no choice but to attach "fear" to Nura Rikusheng. body, causing him to enter a state of fear of attack again.

Just as Hagoromo Kitsune and Nura Rikuo were confronting each other, cracks gradually began to appear in the body of the giant black baby, as if indicating that "Nuo"'s reincarnation was about to be completed.

…

Inoue Ueya slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling. He reached out and pressed his eyebrows, stood up from the floor, looked up and looked around, and saw a familiar giant holding a game controller in his hand, staring closely at him. The empty screen in front of him looked a little solemn. Sitting next to the giant was a purple-haired lolita. She was also staring at the screen, and occasionally took out a potato chip from the bag and put it in her mouth.

"Why is this new game so difficult to play..."

"I'm right. Even if you are a god, it is still difficult to beat that big guy with a cane at the beginning without cheating. He is obviously not good at gaming."

"Hey, don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air. I'm just using my own abilities. How can I be called cheating?"

After hearing the conversation between the two and seeing the lazy god, Inoue Ue almost figured out where he was. It was probably because the fall just made him faint, and his consciousness came to the Great Sage of the Law of Cause and Effect again. Hall.

"Wait a minute, are you playing with that old headband that hasn't been released yet?" After looking at it carefully for a while, Inoue Ueya finally couldn't help but complain.

After the words fell, Zeus and Mrumuru noticed the arrival of Ueya Inoue.

"What? It turns out to be Ueya Inoue. How are you doing recently?"

With that said, Zeus's eyes returned to the screen again and continued to be immersed in the game.

"Huh? It's okay."

Inoue Ueya scratched his head and continued: "No! Now is not the time to ask for help. Everyone is fighting the feathered fox. I can't stay here anymore. Zeus, can you send me back?"

Chapter 274 The purity is too low!

"Calm down. Although I don't know what happened to you, in order to catch fish... no, to improve my work efficiency, I have recently adjusted the flow of time between the Temple of Karma and the outside world to a certain extent. Now I am staying here. The first half of the day is only about two or three seconds of the outside world. You can rest here for a while, collect your thoughts, and relieve your mental fatigue. "

Even if Zeus didn't specifically observe Inoue Ueya's recent situation, he could still feel a vague sense of anxiety just by hearing his tone. He must have encountered something.

"Oh, no!"

Halfway through his thoughts, Zeus remembered that he was still challenging the game boss, recovered from his distraction, and focused on the screen again.

I saw the monster on the screen holding up the crutch in his hand. Zeus seemed to realize something, and quickly controlled the character to roll in the side direction, but the monster seemed to have seen through his character's movements and did not take action until the control The character had to stop moving because his stamina was exhausted. The monster just took action. With a miserable howl, the character's health bar was instantly cleared, and a classic death scene appeared on the screen.

"Damn it, it's just a little bit close..."

Zeus slumped motionless on his chair, seemingly suffering an inexplicable heavy blow.

"God's gaming skills are just that. I still think it's more practical to choose a mage at the beginning." Mlumuru shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

Hearing this, Zeus slammed the table and said angrily: "Mage is simply evil. The excitement given by close combat is the essence of this game... What's the difference between a character standing in the corner throwing spells and a salted fish without dreams? The purity is too low!"

"In short, according to the agreed rules, after the character dies, a replacement must be made. It's my turn to play next!"

Putting down the bag of potato chips in her hand, Mlumuru took the game controller from Zeus's hand, and the empty screen moved to her front. She skillfully logged out to the game title, changed the character save file, and then continued the game. This series of smooth actions was like muscle memory developed by repeating the same action countless times.

Zeus turned to look at Inoue Ueya, and then noticed his gaze, and hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, I am also a creator god, what's wrong with your disdainful eyes? Respect, at least give me some respect!"

Inoue Ueya couldn't help but sigh, what the hell is going on, I always feel that this god has become more and more unreliable since he became addicted to games.

Realizing that his image as a god was gradually collapsing in Inoue Ueya's mind, Zeus decisively changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, a while ago, an outsider visited the Causality Cathedral and asked me about the news of Den-O. It seems that he wanted to meet you..."

"Huh? Why did he look for me?"

Inoue Ueya was stunned when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, the outsider mentioned by Zeus meant a time traveler or someone from another world, but he had never met a being similar to himself, let alone met him. Why would someone come to him?

The other party even has the ability to visit the Cathedral of Causality in person, so his identity must be extraordinary...

Without directly answering Inoue Ueya's question, Zeus pretended to be mysterious and said: "No, I'd better not tell you for now. Anyway, when you meet, you will recognize him immediately."

"Can I recognize his identity?" Inoue Ueya's face showed a blank look, and he fell into deep thought, muttering in a low voice, "In other words, the outsider is someone I know."

"Don't think too much, you will know when we meet anyway."

Zeus shook his head and continued: "Although I don't know why, the other party seemed to be suddenly summoned by some force and pulled to another world a few days ago. I'm afraid it will take some time to come back."

Inoue Ueya had to nod helplessly. Since Zeus didn't want to explain, he had to wait for the outsider to come back. Besides, he was not in the mood to think about other things now.

"So, did you encounter any danger again this time?"

Inoue Ueya was silent for a moment, then said: "Rather than saying I encountered danger, it's better to say that I made a big mistake..."

Then, Inoue Ueya also told the whole story.

In any case, compared with Yuyuko's behavior, Inoue Ueya thought that it was more of his own fault.

As Yuyuko said, killing people is not about right or wrong. She had her reasons for wanting to realize the reincarnation ritual. But for Inoue Ueya, as a time traveler who knew the plot, if he had thought more carefully, he might have saved them all. Because of his negligence, Naya and many people died at the hands of Yuyuko, and he felt more guilty.

Zeus nodded and said with sudden realization: "So that's what happened."

For Zeus, a god who has lived for who knows how long, this is just the concept of the survival of the fittest. No matter in which world or era, as long as there are living things, such a situation will occur. It is almost inevitable. He has long been numb to matters of life and death, and even when listening to Inoue Ueya's story, he didn't react much.

"What are your plans?"

"Revenge for dead friends and humans, and completely eliminate those Kyoto monsters?"

"Or do you want to recreate what happened in "Tenjin Elementary School" and save everyone by reversing time and space? "

Faced with Zeus' question, Inoue Ueya showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"I don't know..."

After learning about the abduction of humans by Yuyuko and the disappearance of Naya, Inoue Ueya had the idea of ​​reversing time and space in his mind, but this method did not seem feasible for this incident.

"Let's not talk about other problems first. Even if I can go back to the past and destroy Yuyuko in advance, she will continue to attack humans in order to revive "Nue" after reincarnation. If there is no way to stop Yuyuko's reincarnation, she will come back one day. Doing so will only postpone the tragedy that has already happened, and I can't guarantee whether the other party will cause more casualties next time she reincarnates..."

On the contrary, if the status quo is maintained and the plot develops, the resurrected "Nue" will immediately send Yuyuko to hell personally. This endless cycle of reincarnation will come to an end. It is enough for me to defeat Nue. The price is that in order to achieve this ending, I can no longer save the lives of Naya and the victims.

Chapter 275 What do you want to say?

"You really haven't changed at all, Inoue Ueya."

Zeus was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, and several void screens unfolded from his side, displaying text that Inoue Ueya couldn't understand. These void screens were tools created by Zeus in order to efficiently adjust the law of cause and effect, and could quickly integrate He wanted to read the cause and effect information, although now it was mostly used as a display screen for games.

"Even when faced with the desperate environment of Tenjin Elementary School, you still didn't give up the idea of ​​saving everyone at that time. What's ironic is that now you have to make a choice between saving your friends and ending your enemies..."

"Wait, did you misunderstand something?"

Inoue Ueya's eyes were filled with surprise as he continued: "Only children make choices. Whether it's defeating the Kyoto monsters or saving the victims, I never intended to give up on these two things from the beginning."

Inoue Ueya fell into deep thought for a moment, muttering to himself: "If defeating the Hagoromo Fox early is not enough to solve all the problems, I will deal with the source of the matter and go back to the past to prevent the Hagoromo Fox's death from happening and crush it." "Nue"'s ambition to dominate the world will not have any victims. "

Listening to Inoue Ueya's soliloquy, and then looking at the content displayed on the void screen, Zeus suddenly felt a stomach twitch. The feathered fox was a monster that had been reincarnated for thousands of years, especially in order to resurrect her son. The casualties caused by turmoil and war are even more difficult to estimate, and the causes and effects involved are not comparable to those of a mere Tenjin Elementary School.

"Asshole, are you going to make me work overtime until I lose my mind?"

Although Zeus could more or less guess what Inoue Ueya was thinking, but as a mortal, his idea was too crazy.

"Besides, if you create such a large-scale time and space reversal, aren't you afraid that it will cause more serious consequences?"

If nothing else, let’s take the Nura family as an example. If Nura Kazuo had not been cursed by the Hagoromo Kitsune, the descendant Nura Koiban would not be affected by the curse, and he could have a child with his original wife Yamabuki Otome. Heir, the other party may not leave without saying goodbye, and even with the power of the Nuragumi, it may not be impossible to save Yamabuki Otome who later died of a terminal illness.

If the original wife is still alive, Nura Kaiban is unlikely to fall in love with Wakana as his second wife. Unless Zeus adjusts the law of cause and effect to turn Nura Kaiban into an old guy who cheats on orders, otherwise "Nura Rikuo" Existence might not be born.

"There are many causes and effects caused by the existence of the Hagoromo Kitsune, and the Nura family is just a branch line among countless causes and effects. If you really succeed in doing this, it will take a long time from a thousand years ago to the present. The number of causes and effects of the adjustment can be regarded as a small-scale world line change. If the situation is serious, the people around you may cease to exist. "

Zeus stared closely at Ueya Inoue in front of him and said coldly: "If you underestimate the danger of disrupting time and space because of what happened at Tenjin Elementary School, then as a god in charge of the law of cause and effect and time and space, I must warn you not to change history casually. !”

Inoue Zhi was also stunned for a moment, and soon realized that there was something wrong with his idea. He nodded without changing his expression and responded: "That's right. I still think too simply. I can't do it because of Save people and get more people involved.”

While speaking, Zeus could tell that Inoue Ueya still didn't seem to give up the idea of ​​rescuing people, and he was full of confusion.

"Aren't you going to give up yet?"
