The magic bullet instantly split into twelve, tracing perfect ballistic trajectories in the air.
Aozaki Touko neither dodged nor flinched, but simply snapped her fingers lightly.
The twelve magic bullets suddenly stopped half a meter away from her, as if they had hit an invisible wall.
"Still so easily excited."
Aozaki Touko shook her head and sighed.
"Aozaki Aoko, tell me... what does it feel like to be touched by the Root?"
Aozaki Aoko's pupils contracted slightly.
She recalled that moment—countless memories from parallel worlds flooded her mind, and the river of time branched and merged before her eyes.
"I don't fully understand the root cause."
... 0 0
Aozaki Aoko finally admitted that the magic bullets had returned and were swirling around her again.
"During the time jump... another will gave me a push."
She hesitated for a moment.
"I suspect there are more than three inhibitory forces."
Aozaki Touko's expression turned serious.
"Interesting...very interesting."
She suddenly looked up at the sky.
"It seems that none of us have seen through the whole truth of this world."
Aozaki Aoko keenly sensed Aozaki Touko's distraction, and this was a perfect opportunity.
Her left hand quickly formed a hand seal, and a complex curse spell unfolded beneath her feet, with purple runes spreading towards Aozaki Touko like chains.
"Go to sleep, sister."
Aozaki Aoko said coldly.
"Forever."
Just as the curse was about to touch Aozaki Touko, a sudden change occurred—
An irresistible gravitational force suddenly descended from the sky!
Aozaki Aoko's right hand was uncontrollably pulled high into the sky, and white, flower-like magical remnants fluttered and flew towards the heavens.
Chapter 478 The Truly Simple Familiar
Even more terrifying, Aozaki Touko's body was pulled into the air at an even faster speed!
"This is--!"
Aozaki Aoko immediately concentrated her magic power in her feet to forcibly stabilize herself.
She saw Aozaki Touko's expression of surprise rather than fear as she ascended; the woman even had the leisure to wave goodbye to her.
"Looks like my time hasn't come yet, little sister."
Aozaki Touko's voice became fragmented due to the distortion caused by gravity.
"Next time we meet... I'll be ready with a truly simple familiar..."
Before she finished speaking, Aozaki Touko's figure had already disappeared into the shadows above the clouds.
"Damn it!"
Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth, and the recoil from the release of her magic made her float upside down in the air.
She tried to track down Aozaki Touko's whereabouts, but the gravitational field was so complex it made her dizzy.
Just then, she heard footsteps.
Light, yet steady, each step precisely landing on the most stable spot in the ruins.
Aozaki Aoko could sense that familiar magical energy fluctuation without turning around.
In the desolate sea of flowers, broken petals drift in the wind, like countless shattered dreams.
Shiraishikawa stood amidst the chaos, looking down at the orange-haired woman lying in a pool of blood, his eyes devoid of any pity.
"How embarrassing, Aozaki Touko."
His voice was as cold as ice.
"But don't worry, I won't let you get away with this so easily. (IV) I won't let you get away with this so easily."
Aozaki Touko, lying on the ground, struggled to lift her head, her amber eyes burning with an indomitable flame.
"Shiro... Ishikawa..."
She coughed violently with every word she spoke.
"You...don't even think about it..."
Shiraishikawa chuckled softly, his right hand drawing a strange rune in the air. A shadow rose from the ground, coiling around Aozaki Touko's body.
Sleep well, my precious treasure. We'll have plenty of time after you've healed.
"stop!"
A figure in cyan descended from the sky, and the shockwave formed by the magic created spiderweb-like cracks in the ground.
Aozaki Aoko landed steadily, her long blue hair fluttering in the aftershocks of magic, and she glared at Shiraishi Kawa.
"Let her go!"
The shadows had completely engulfed Aozaki Touko, and only then did Shiraishikawa turn to face Aozaki Aoko, a smile on his lips.
"Long time no see, Aozaki Aoko. But you're a bit late."
Aozaki Aoko clenched her fist, and a visible blue vortex of magic formed around her.
"I told you, let her go!"
"I'm sorry, I can't grant that request."
Shiraishikawa slowly adjusted his cuffs.
"Aozaki Touko is my eternal treasure, how can I just let her go?"
"wealth?"
Aozaki Aoko sneered.
"You treat her like an object?"
Shiraishikawa looked up, a playful glint in his eyes.
"What else? Isn't a perfect tool that can continuously create value the greatest wealth?"
Aozaki Aoko's anger intensified, but she forced herself to calm down.
She looked at the man before her, a man who was both familiar and unfamiliar. Ten years seemed to have left no trace on his face, except for his eyes, which were even more unfathomable than she remembered.
"You've changed, Shiraishi Kawa."
"Aozaki Aoko said in a deep voice."
"At least you had a bottom line before."
"Bottom line?"
Shiraishikawa seemed to have heard something amusing.
"Aozaki Aoko, you came back from heaven just to tell me this?"
Aozaki Aoko's pupils contracted slightly.
Do you know about heaven?
"Not only do I know, I'm also very curious."
Shiraishikawa took a step forward, his aura suddenly increasing.
"How many years in the future are you from?"
Aozaki Aoko did not answer immediately. She looked around at the broken sea of flowers, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"About ten years, I'm too lazy to count to the exact number."
She withdrew her gaze and looked directly at Shiraishi River.
"Anyway, you've already messed up the subsequent timeline, so there's no point in counting it."
Shiraishi's eyes showed surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Interesting. So, how will I compensate for the lack of time in the future?"
"you are always like this."
Aozaki Aoko frowned in disgust.
"You see right through people. I hate people like you."
"Oh? So what kind of person do you like?"
"I prefer to let my fists do the talking."
Aozaki Aoko suddenly smiled, a smile that was both dangerous and beautiful.
"Since you've already hidden Aozaki Touko away, why don't you come and cause a ruckus with me?"
Shiraishikawa sighed.
Chapter 479 Overconfident
"Aozaki Aoko, time travel will have irreversible consequences for the future. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Aozaki Aoko suddenly raised her hand, and five blue magic bullets instantly took shape.
"I don't care about the future!"
