In the weird second dimension of killing gods

Origami said: "I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I killed my parents."

"It was just a dream." Huo Xia said.

Origami shook her head: "But, that's... the timeline that Huo Xia and Kuang San changed. I killed my parents with my own hands."

Huo Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "How did you know?"

Origami's lips parted slightly, unable to speak.

Huo Xia sighed and analyzed: "Origami, we are in a dream now. A spirit that controls dreams has dragged all of Tiangong City into the dream. If you know the changed history through dreams, it is most likely the work of that spirit."

"I know." Origami's expression was gloomy.

She failed last night.

I can't say that to my original timeline self.

Because what happened five years ago has been erased, so don't worry about it...

She couldn't say such words.

Since the destruction that Origami caused in the original world didn't happen here, forget about it...

She couldn't say such words.

History has completely changed. You (I) are very happy now, so forget it...

She couldn't say such words.

"Changing the past is really dangerous." Origami buried her face on the table, like a fleeing bird, "It would be better if I didn't know these things."

Seeing how shocked she was, Huo Xia frowned.

strangeness.

How did she know about the altered timeline?

No, I should say.

What kind of past is the changed past that Origami knows?

As far as he knows, Origami has gone through many changes in the past five years.

The beginning should be that Origami's parents were killed by an unknown elf five years ago. She met the protagonist of the original novel and regarded him as spiritual support, and then embarked on the road of revenge to kill the elf.

Now, five years later, Origami has turned into an "elf" and made a deal with Kurumi, traveling back to five years ago. She wanted to stop the "elf" in her memory from killing her parents, but accidentally killed her parents during the battle.

This forms a closed loop.

That is, in the past, Origami saw the "elves" killing her parents, so she wanted to go back in time to save her parents, but she killed her parents instead, prompting Origami to take the original path.

This time loop should have been completely eliminated after Huoxia used the [Summoning Spell] to summon Mio to the present.

but……

Huo Xia thought about it and suggested, "Since Origami cares so much, why not ask Kurumi?"

Origami raised her head sharply and muttered, "Is it okay?"

"OK."

Huo Xia nodded slightly, dialed Kuang San's number, and called Erya over at the same time.

After a while, Kurumi and Niya entered the cafe one after another.

"Hey, young man, what do you want to talk to me about?" Erya sat on Huoxia's thighs with a smile, with one arm around Huoxia's neck.

Compared to the informal Erya, Kuang San was much more serious. She sat next to Huo Xia like a rich lady and said with a smile, "Alala, is Darling dating Origami? Have you finally extended your evil claws to people other than elves?"

Huo Xia naturally didn't respond, but looked at Origami with a gentle voice.

"Could you explain it to me?"

Origami nodded slightly and talked about the dream she had last night.

"…That's it. I finally obtained the soul crystal, but it was in a reversed state. And I could feel that there was another incomplete emotion and consciousness of myself inside it."

Hearing this, Kuang San asked in confusion: "Are you saying that you now have two personalities like Yoshino?"

Origami shook her head and explained: "It's more like Commander Kotori, who has two personalities that can be switched at will. The way to switch is..."

"Showing spiritual clothes and angels, right?" Erya continued.

Origami nodded slightly.

Huo Xia asked again: "Can I ask what the other personality is like?"

Origami immediately replied: "A completely hopeless personality."

"Once he shows up, I'm afraid he won't do anything except destroy everything in front of him or kill the elves."

"I don't dare to let her out. Perhaps it will pollute my current personality and make me fall into despair, and I will never be able to return to my current state."

Erya nodded slightly and summoned out the [Whispering Volume] to take a closer look.

At the same time, the clock in Kurumi's golden eyes also rang from time to time.

After a while, Kuang San shook her head, "Regarding the fire in Tiangong City five years ago, there is a deviation in my memory between the two timelines. If my guess is correct, it should be a past with uncertainty."

That is, the past that has not yet been finalized and is in an ambiguous state.

Erya sighed and said, "In that case, it should be within the scope of my rewrite."

The three of them looked at Erya at the same time.

Noticing their gazes, Erya explained, "In fact, the [Whispering Announcement] can not only write the future, but also rewrite the past, but it can only change memories."

"That is, people's collective memory of the past will be biased."

"But, just like Rashomon, different people have different memories of the same event, so it doesn't make much sense. It can only confuse and bury the past."

The superior ability of [Whispering Announcement].

"Future Operations" can turn the future of writing into reality.

"Rewriting the past" can fabricate a non-existent past.

Generally speaking, "rewriting the past" doesn't make much sense, because what has happened will not change. What will change is only human's memory of it and the records of the past in books and computers.

Because different people have different perspectives and understandings of the same thing, this rewriting is bound to be confusing.

In Erya's opinion, it is a completely meaningless ability.

but.

There is only one situation in which you can truly rewrite the past!

That is, the past itself is not real enough and is in an uncertain and ambiguous state.

After knowing this, Origami suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had thought of something, and said: "In this case, we should be able to turn my original experience into reality, and add the past of 'we changed the past' to it."

Since my action of going back to the past to save my parents actually led to their death, I will change again on this basis.

That is to say, after going back to the past for the first and second times, a third time of going back to the past is added.

Erya frowned slightly and reminded: "Xiao Zhezhe, if you do that, you will be adding a new false past to our new timeline."

"It won't affect us, but you will have a whole new personality."

"Can you bear this?"

The fire five years ago marked a node, the end of history.

This fire occurred in both the old and new timelines, but the results were different.

In the old timeline, Origami lost her parents. Five years later, she became an elf and went back to the past, causing her parents to die, thus completing the closed loop on the timeline.

In the new timeline, Origami did not lose her parents in the fire, but she still lost them in an accident four years ago.

Origami in the old timeline only had hatred for the elves, and would do anything for revenge.

Origami in the new timeline hopes to coexist peacefully with the elves and changes her mind during the battle.

just now.

Origami hopes to use Nia's past rewrite and Kurumi's "Twelve Bullets" to overwrite what happened in the old timeline onto the new timeline and rewrite the new timeline.

Kurumi thought: "This is an act of cheating the timeline, once we do what you want."

“The past will change.”

"First, your parents didn't die in the fire five years ago."

"After the rewrite, it was your parents who died in the fire. You embarked on a journey of revenge and went back five years to accidentally kill your parents. Then you traveled through time a second time and changed the events back to the point where your parents did not die in the fire."

“The results haven’t changed, but the process has become more complicated.”

"It has no impact on the timeline, but for you, a new self will inevitably emerge."

"That is, 'he me'."

"This isn't my clone, or Sawa's personality, something that can be controlled."

"Which one is the 'I' between the 'other self' and the 'self'? This is a big question involving philosophy."

Kuang San talked freely, she didn't really want to change the past.

The last time they changed the past, the present didn’t become much better. Instead, it was their behavior in the present that made the world a little better.

Before changing the past, we should change the future first.

and.

In Kurumi's opinion, Origami's behavior is meaningless.

Not changing the past, but adding to it…

Erya also nodded slightly and advised: "Xiao Zhezhe, you must think clearly. Doing this will not do you any good."

"I know, but..." Origami hesitated, but still made up her mind, "I can't ignore the desperate me."

Huo Xia raised his eyebrows.

"Are you trying to accommodate that desperate self of yours?"

Origami nodded, "Yes."

After the words were spoken, the three people present were speechless.

Finally, Huo Xia sighed and said, "Okay, since this is your wish."

Erya nodded: "Haha, dual personality? It seems that there are many similar attributes among the elves."

"I only have one personality~" said Kuang San.

Erya: "Really? Do you want me to find your Four Heavenly Kings?"

"..."

The corners of Kuang San's mouth twitched slightly.

Why do I have to leave those dark histories behind? !

After the teasing, Erya stirred his drink and asked, "Young man, Xiaozhezhe, Xiaokuangkuang, we still have a problem. Even if we try to rewrite the past, there is still one character missing."

Origami hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about the elf who fought with the other me?"

Erya nodded slightly and said, "If my information is correct, that spirit should be Mio in the original timeline, but because of the boy's [Power], Mio has come to the present."

"Mio did not exist in the past thirty years."

“This is inevitable and cannot be changed.”

"【Power】is higher than 【Angels】."

"The God Slayer's destiny is stronger than this short period of time."

"In other words, we are missing a character. If we force an extra 'Mio' to fight you, I don't know what will happen."

As the words fell, Huo Xia suddenly opened his eyes and caught a glimmer of inspiration.

That's instinct.

That's a chance to win.
