The Time-Management Master-Kurumi Tokisaki

"Everything we do is to fight the Ultimate Fear."

"The Pangu Civilization chose the Chiwu Star System as its anchor point proves that we may become the core battlefield in the first place."

"And as you saw after what happened in City of R'lyeh, the higher the level of human civilization, the greater the risk of being targeted by the Ultimate Fear."

"This era is not the choice we hoped for."

Kevin grinned coldly, his face full of sarcasm.

"So, you're letting the Honkai Will cleanse Human Civilization because this World Tree has grown too tall, and once it touches the roof, it will be uprooted?"

"Destruction, in fact, is a form of protection? On behalf of those people now and those from fifty thousand years ago, thank you!"

Gu Yi nodded, completely unconcerned about Kevin's sarcasm.

"In the God-Making Era, fragile individuals who cannot adapt to the times have lost their value for continued evolution and preservation..."

"As the Honkai civilization, the seeds and technologies left behind will accumulate over generations, helping Human Civilization achieve leapfrog development after its restart..."

"Until the foundation we've accumulated over several civilizational eras becomes strong enough to directly break through the limitations of the Honkai and face the test of Ultimate Fear, all sacrifices will be worthwhile..."

"This sacrifice isn't just for ordinary people, it includes you and me too..."

Honkai, almost always transcending the boundaries of civilization, possesses extremely strong targeted capabilities?

Kevin finally understood; this was perhaps a barrier erected by Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, to ensure the continuation of humanity and her own future.

With each destruction and rebirth of civilization, under the cruel trials of its "mother," it will eventually reach the pinnacle of evolution, achieving an upper limit that even Honkai cannot suppress.

Once this final barrier is overcome, the chances of successfully dealing with Ultimate Fear increase significantly.

This proves the saying: sometimes, harm is also a form of protection.

After all, the destruction of the world by the Final Herrscher five or ten thousand years ago had given Kevin some clues. The incarnation of that god was merely a destroyed civilization, but it did not hunt him and Fu Hua, the two survivors.

Judging from the fates of the Pangu Civilization and Divine River Civilization, Ultimate Fear is probably not so forgiving. It's a game where you play one round and then completely wipe your save file!

However, Gaia's so-called care is directed at the entire Human Civilization as a whole and its future. In her eyes, the death of an individual is like the constant death and rebirth of human cells.

In the silence, Kevin slowly raised his head, a strange smile on his face.

"For almost an instant, I was almost swayed by what you said..."

"It's a pity that I came from an ordinary background, and I understand the joys and sorrows of individuals better than you do..."

"Let us voluntarily accept elimination, let us actively embrace the destruction and rebirth of civilization. Not everyone can be like you bald guys, able to sever ties and let go!"

"If this game doesn't have a happy ending, you might patiently wait for the next one..."

"But unfortunately, I just love every single character in it, and I can't bear to part with any of the scenes I personally visited..."

"So, my answer is to kidnap the game designer and make that bastard write the perfect ending for me right now!"

As the man spoke, images of everything he had experienced flashed through his mind: the faces he cared about, the joy of a clear mind, which unconsciously blossomed into a smile from the corners of his mouth.

"If you don't move aside, I'll beat you up too!"

Immediately, with a slight bend of Kevin's fingers, dozens of Void Spear advanced simultaneously.

Even someone as insightful as the Ancient One was helpless against this guy who liked to flip tables and didn't follow any rules.

Especially now, in his soul form, he finds it difficult to effectively restrain this Judgment Angel succeeds Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, and leads the Ark of Stars.

"Fine, if you insist on this, then first obtain the last card left behind by the Earth Mother Goddess, otherwise I will absolutely not allow you to rashly enter Kunlun."

Gu Yi frowned, ultimately choosing to back down. With a slight clench of her hands, energy flowed, and the surrounding space gradually reconstructed itself, like a broken and pieced-together mirror image.

A hundred steps and a huge archway, pieced together from various sections and modules of the Three Sanctums, lead directly to the sky above a modern city with a fairytale-like atmosphere.

As the rotating modules around him gradually stabilized, Gu Yi bowed and raised his hand in an invitation.

Kevin nodded slightly, holding Stan Cat in his left arm and CC in his right, and walked up to the Ancient One with a serious expression, seemingly choosing to compromise and agree to this compromise.

However, when the two were within a step of each other, Kevin's smile broke through his serious expression.

"You think I'll listen to you?"

A faint smile appeared on the Ancient One's usually calm face as she pointed to the Eye of Agamotto on her chest.

Kevin then noticed that the thing was actually glowing, and looking deeper into the depths of Gu's eyes, he saw a similar color.

Before the man could react, a pale, surgeon's hand silently pressed against his chest.

As a strange pulling sensation came, Kevin's transparent soul broke free of his body and fell into the archway.

Gu Yi leaned forward, lifted the two people and the cat, and threw them into the space. Then, she formed hand seals and, as the module operated, restored the library to its original state.

"I'm sorry, but your actions this time were within the Time Stone's calculations..."

The Sorcerer Supreme clapped his hands, his gestures shifting to extinguish the light of the Eye of Agamotto.

As his consciousness gradually faded, a rare sense of pleasure blossomed on Gu Yi's lips.

The feeling of being unrestrained seems a little addictive, my bad...

Chapter 744, Section 778: Time Management Master - Tokisaki Kurumi (Bonus Chapter)

In the dark alley, a figure emerged from an overturned trash can, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

None of those bald guys are good people!

Kevin kicked aside the trash bag beside him, cursing the seemingly loyal but treacherous Sorcerer Supreme in his heart. He looked around but couldn't find any trace of C. C. or Stan.

He had to confirm that it seemed the group had become separated in mid-air upon entering this dreamlike city.

However, upon closer inspection, Kevin noticed something strange: his field of vision seemed to be lower than normal.

Hmm, no head injury, and the claws too...

Wait a minute... claws?

Kevin stared at the furry, grayish-black paw in front of him, his eyes bulging and his expression stiff.

Immediately, the Judgment Angel, regaining its senses, rushed frantically towards the small puddle in front of it, until the water reflected a cat's head with dark maple leaf-shaped patterns on its face and black eyes, at which point Kevin finally gave up completely.

Holy crap, soul swapping? You bald bastard, this is ridiculous!

The roar of grief and anger finally brewed in his abdomen, was transmitted through his throat and tongue, and echoed in the air.

"Meow!"

His actions were exposed by the Time Stone, and with a push, his soul was ejected from his body. As he fell into the city before him, he ended up swapping identities with Stan, the dead cat.

Given the Ancient One's group's penchant for leaving themselves a backup plan, Kevin can assure you that this current situation was also within their calculations.

They were probably afraid that if he entered, he would immediately lose his temper and cause chaos, making things difficult to handle.

Okay, I've messed up this time...

Kevin hung his head helplessly, sighed slightly, and realized that he had underestimated them.

If someone were to pass through the alley at this moment, they would see a black and gray cat sitting in the corner of the wall, staring blankly at its paws and belly, just like a person.

Those occasional, subtle, human-like furrows of the brow were both quirky and endearing.

In a way, these bald men seem to have all witnessed the desolation and evolution of the world, and have long since become empty because of "seeing through" and "letting go." Each of them is a ruthless person who would even sell himself.

Sure enough, bald people are not only annoying, but also not to be trifled with.

Forget it, they want to negotiate peace with Lieyang Star. With the hidden boss, Aeon God Kieran, and the foundation of the Super God Academy, they don't have to be so humble as to grovel.

But if Kevin wants to do things his way and first eliminate the scum who are causing him trouble in the Kunlun Secret Realm, he must obtain the card left by the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia to prove that he has enough resources and leadership.

Let's find Stan and CC first, and then decide whether to play this game, get the trump card, and see how things go.

We can't believe everything Gu Yi says; who knows if there's a trap in it?

Just as Kevin made up his mind and took his first steps, the crisp sound of an empty can hitting the ground echoed from the Alley Entrance.

"Tch, boring..."

At that moment, three or four delinquent youths with brightly colored hair and tattoos on their arms walked into the alley, some smoking cigarettes and others playing with butterfly knives.

The blond-haired leader who had "kicked the ball" was very dissatisfied with his performance, his slightly tipsy eyes darting around.

He thinks he just heard a cat meowing; that sound must have affected him, causing him to underperform.

Soon enough, the blond-haired man easily spotted the gray-black tabby cat in front of the trash can, took a baseball bat from his companion, and slowly walked forward with a sinister grin.

The feel of my foot just now wasn't right, so let's try again. Since this little thing has spoiled my enjoyment, I'll let it take over the role of "ball".

Anyway, there are plenty of stray cats and dogs in the city. Catching a few to play with is a good form of entertainment for these thugs who don't really dare to kill or bleed.

Therefore, Huang Mao's companions blocked the exit, either whistling to cheer him on or taking out their phones to record videos.

Tsk, the atmosphere in this city isn't very friendly...

Kevin yawned and rolled his eyes helplessly as the blond-haired man approached.

Although his soul was stuffed into Stan's body, he was one of the few creatures that survived the Honkai energy infection.

With Kevin's super CPU at his disposal, taking down a few weaklings will be a piece of cake.

At this moment, Huang Mao was slightly taken aback by the little thing's human-like behavior, and then became furious.

Was he being looked down upon? By a cat?

You little beast, do you even know how many of your kind I torture and kill every month? And you still dare to roll your eyes at me!

The blond-haired man picked up a baseball bat and strode forward, intending to smash the strange stray cat to death on the spot.

However, just as the blond thugs were about to make their move, a graceful figure walked into the alley from around the corner, covering her cheek and revealing a curious and innocent smile.

"A few guys are playing a game? It looks like they're having a lot of fun. Can I join in?"

As the three or four thugs blocking the Alley Entrance turned around, they were immediately captivated by the girl in the setting sun, dressed in a black dress, with her hair in pigtails and carrying a schoolbag.

That slightly nasal "Brother" was so sweet it melted their bones. Several thugs, unable to resist the temptation, were instantly captivated, abandoning their cat-torturing activities to approach and flirt with him.

"That's right, it's a really fun game, a multiplayer game, the kind that can help you grow. Come on, don't be shy..."

The girl in the dress looked at the thugs gathered around her, smiled sweetly, and reached up to lift the bangs covering her left eye, revealing a golden, clock-shaped eye underneath.

"Okay, I'll join you all in playing..."

As the girl responded gently, the surrounding shadows seemed to come alive, extending and entangling the three or four thugs, instantly swallowing them up.

Hmm? Group activities? It really is you, the master of time management— Tokisaki Kurumi!

Kevin raised his paw and scratched the cat's head, feeling that the current situation was quite dramatic.

Since this Nightmare Spirit is here, then the city before us is undoubtedly Amamiya City, where the [Ten Angels] are kept free.

It seems like to get the final trump card, I should choose to go on dates with these elves and win them over one by one, right?

So... Date A Live...

Screw you! I'm a cat now! Gu Yi, are you kidding me?! Are you trying to get me into bestiality?

Amidst the suppressed screams of the thugs, Kevin looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, trying hard not to let his tears of grief and anger fall.

"Little one, you're not afraid of me? Are you alright?"

Just as Kevin was lost in thought, his lithe cat-like body was gently lifted up by Tokisaki Kurumi, who quietly approached him for a checkup.

It seems that Amamiya City has certain limitations in its perception of its own thoughts, and it is currently unable to determine the location of its body.

However, his physical body has been upgraded to Divine Body and has a self-protection mechanism. Even if his consciousness leaves his body, he can basically walk sideways, so there is no need to worry about his safety for the time being.

Moreover, being adopted by elves doesn't seem like a shameful thing; it's part of the strategy.

At this moment, Kevin the cat, who was being held in Tokisaki Kurumi's arms, tried to clear his mind from the pressure of the two swaying mounds of flesh.

This elf, who controls time, possesses the most comprehensive intelligence. To extract information, what else could we say but submit?

As the sun sets, the cat, held and stroked by its owner, closes its eyes in blissful contentment.

Tokisaki Kurumi

P. S.: Three chapters have been released. Three more chapters will be released tomorrow. The promised three chapters will be online.

In addition, the lighthearted and fun nature of dating doesn't quite capture the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, so the setting will likely be modified.
