Gaia: You Hit Alaya... So You Can't Hit Me, Okay? Please!

This is the most fatal problem.

The people Chen Li and the others have been resurrected are those who died in accidents, not those who died of old age.

"But it's not a big problem, since most of the people we're going to save died in accidents anyway," Chen Li said.

"Chen Li, Chen Li! Have you arrived in that world of Heroic Spirits? The world called Fate, right?" Sirin suddenly squeezed Baiheng out of the way and took over the video call.

"That's right."

"Do we have time to summon my mother with the amulet now?" Sirin asked excitedly.

"Wait a moment, I'm currently looking for the Second Sorcerer."

What do you want with him?

"I want to learn Second Magic, and coincidentally, my talent supports me in doing so," Chen Li said.

"Speaking of which Chen Li, during the Revival Match, you seemed to have mentioned that Kyubey had other uses, and even that it was related to the Second Magic?"

"That's right, that's the key point! Do you remember what Kyubey used to determine the strength of Magical Girl when he turned her into Magical Girl?"

"I remember it being about cause and effect, right?"

"That's right. Do you know why Madoka can become the Law of Cycles?"

"It's because Homura Akemi went through hundreds of reincarnations to save Madoka, and all of these consequences were attributed to Madoka, thus giving Madoka the potential to become a god through cause and effect."

"Great, here's the question. In the Type-Moon World, which has countless Parallel Worlds, What If we use the Second Magic to transfer the karma of someone from all the Parallel Worlds to one person, and then have Kyubey turn that person into Magical Girl ...would the opponent's strength reach the level of the Law of Cycles?" Chen Li asked excitedly.

"Huh?" Chen Li's question completely baffled the people on the other end.

The Type-Moon World is a world with many Parallel Worlds, and the number of Parallel Worlds is increasing every second, while countless worlds are being Destruction every second.

The number of Parallel Worlds is far greater than the number of times Homura Akemi reincarnated for Madoka's sake.

The extent of cause and effect cannot be determined solely by quantity, but What If that quantity reaches its limit?

Especially those who are at least supporting characters in different Parallel Worlds, such as Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, Illya, etc... What If the cause and effect of all their Parallel Worlds were gathered together, the amount of cause and effect would definitely be much more terrifying than the amount of cause and effect in Madoka's body!

"But... you're in another world, right? Can Kyubey use his full power?"

"Oh, dear Sirin, you must have forgotten the transcendent ability of the two-star Friends Circle, right? It can temporarily elevate a person's abilities to the level of a novice Miraculous Item. And all that's required is the sacrifice of Kyubey. If you combine it with the Revival Match's main body, you'll be a hero again in 30 seconds!"

"As for the issue that the more chat history there is, the higher the ability limit will be when [exceeding limits], we can solve this by capturing a large number of Kyubeys."

"Do you know what this means? It means that What If have enough time and patience, you can create a being comparable to or even surpassing a magician every 30 seconds through Kyubey! Giving them infinite life and infinite power!"

"And everyone can make an extra wish!"

"If one person lasts 30 seconds, it would take approximately 5707 years for 6 billion people..."

"Moreover, if I'm willing to forge new Miraculous Item, such as Miraculous Item that allows Kyubey to transcend its limits and serve all of humanity on Earth, it would only take 30 seconds to change the world!"

"Create a world where everyone is a mage or at the level of the Law of Cycles! Create a world that achieves the salvation of all humanity! Even if it means merging infinite Parallel Worlds back into one! Even if some people have too little karma, those with more karma can become gods first and help those with less karma to become gods later!"

"I can't even imagine how many Miracle Crystals I could collect if I created such a world!"

"At that time, everyone will be immortal. Because the standard is too high, the Collective Consciousness of humanity Alaya, may not be able to exist. But those are necessary sacrifices. Just like no one cares about the life or death of Alaya."

In the unknown space, Alaya trembled upon hearing this.

Gaia's faint, mocking laughter reached my ears.

"Of course, there would be no need for Earth to exist, or rather, everyone could create an Earth. But that would also mean that Earth would cease to exist."

Gaia could no longer laugh.

You're not human!

"To achieve salvation for all humanity, to create the magnificent feat of unifying countless Parallel Worlds! To realize Paradise free from suffering and poverty! The opportunity is right before us!"

"What If the principle that makes humanity last longer, more steadfast, and more prosperous is called the Human Principle in the world of magic, then the Mastert is about saving the Human Principle!"

"And all that's missing to accomplish this feat is obtaining a Second Magic."

"Moreover, it is the existence of the Second Sorcerer that proves there is still room for the world to unfold in different ways, and thanks to this, the world's lifespan can be extended. Because the concept that 'our history may fail and lead to our own destruction, but perhaps there are other versions of us that have succeeded' has brought hope to a planet that was gradually losing its dreams. Beginning with the Second Magic, ending with the Second Magic! This is the romance of magic! Zelretch must think so too!"

"Hmm, so... you've acquired Second Magic?"

"No, this Magic Ruby secretly sent a magical signal to the Zelretch, telling him to run away quickly," Chen Li said, shaking the Magic Ruby in his hand, which was as soft as a noodle.

"Then why don't you hurry up and chase after them?"

"Don't worry, let the magic signal fly for a while longer." Chen Li shook his head.

"But Chen Li, you've been running amok in the Type-Moon World, aren't you afraid the Counter Force will beat you up?"

"Hey, it's not a big problem. After all, I haven't taken any action yet. I was just talking. They can't just make up baseless accusations against me for something I haven't done and send some kind of Grand Servant Human Resources Support Agency to beat me up. If that happens... I'll really lose it!" Chen Li pulled out a black ball.

"Moreover, the Counter Force can only stop what has already happened, not what has not yet happened," Chen Li continued.

"Uh..." The Little Herta on the other end of the video touched his chin.

Little Herta doesn't believe that Chen Li intends to save all of humanity in another world!

Although this method is indeed feasible!

It is indeed feasible, perfectly fine, very reasonable and logically consistent...

But Chen Li has never been someone who acts solely for the Miracle Crystal, and this approach doesn't align with Chen Li's previous behavior.

Chen Li's behavior was more like... demanding Friend Fee.

If you want to be my friend, you have to pay me Friend Fee.

Not giving it to me?

Then don't blame me for wanting to save all of humanity!

Rather than believing that Chen Li wants to save all of humanity, Little Herta would rather believe that Chen Li is now more interested in taking a bite of the Vortex of the Root.

But the Second Magic is indeed worth studying; if it were brought to the Honkai: Star Rail world, perhaps...

Uh, it becomes magic that can travel through countless imaginary worlds?

After all, the Honkai world really does have Parallel Worlds, and there are many of them.

Su had once seen another version of herself from Parallel World... a female version of herself. She used her incredibly powerful mental abilities to control the entire Earth!

Sue doesn't understand why her other self has become so evil.

It couldn't possibly be because she saw Kevin, whom she secretly admires, and May get together that she became enraged and decided to manipulate the world to create a timeline where she and Kevin successfully got together, could it?

"What the hell? You want me to run?" In a dimly lit room where only a small area was illuminated by candlelight, the Zelretch was stunned after receiving the signal from the Magic Ruby.

Should I avoid his sharp edge?

Whose subordinate was the other party?

True Ancestor?

Dead Apostle?

Heroic Spirits?

Guardians?

Star Trek Vanguard?

UO (Universe Object, the strongest individual on each planet)?

No, that's not it. So why should I avoid his sharp edge?

With this Miraculous Forger came from who-knows-where?

LOL.

[A new storm has arrived, how can we stand still! Zelretch, you better run the hell out of here, still acting all high and mighty? Watch out, or you'll be flying! The hopes of all humanity rest on your shoulders, don't let that Miraculous Forger catch you!]

"Hmm?" As if a voice resounded from the depths of his heart, the Zelretch instantly knew the identity of the newcomer.

Alaya?

"It seems we have indeed encountered a formidable enemy, but... what do you mean by 'all of humanity's hopes are placed on me'?" Zelretch was somewhat puzzled.

If any problems arise, shouldn't I, the old man, personally take action and show the other party what the weight of a mage truly means?

Watch me smash that troublemaker's soul with three punches!

But the way you're saying it makes it sound like if I were caught by him, all of human history would be doomed.

[Go to some other Parallel World! What the hell are you doing here? Building your own tombstone? Get the hell out of here, or the Earth is doomed!]

Another voice, different from Alaya's, is issuing a warning to the Zelretch.

Gaia?

Upon discovering that both major Counter Forces were talking to him, urging him to get lost, the Zelretch finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Chen Li, right? Very well, I'll remember this name! If you can't afford to mess with me, can't you at least avoid me?" Zelretch sighed.

Although Zelretch was reluctant to admit it, he was exceptionally gifted when it came to escaping!

The next moment, the Zelretch's body began to turn into a gem...

This is the Zelretch's escape route!

Zelretch can traverse Parallel Worlds by moving from one world to another that possesses gems.

Zelretch can travel to any world where minerals and gems exist, instantly gathering them into a gem golem and transforming into Zelretch, while his original body will revert to its original gem mountain form.

While physical movement is possible, this method is undoubtedly the easiest. Furthermore, because this type of movement introduces a certain time error, it also allows for time travel within a limited range.

That's why Zelretch said that he was second to none when it came to running!

"Goodbye, you inexplicable Miraculous Forger." A relieved smile appeared on the face of the Zelretch.

"Um, you... just called my name, right?" From an endless distance, the Zelretch's gaze suddenly met a pair of clear eyes.

The other person gave a harmless smile.

Then...

"Snap!" At the last moment before the Zelretch completely transformed his body into a gem, Chen Li found the Zelretch through the Slap Gloves and then watched him leave.

"Phew... Luckily I wore the projection Constraint Bracelet, otherwise the Zelretch might not have been able to leave, and all these gems would have been wasted." Chen Li arrived at the room where the Zelretch had run away before, and then began to collect everything with entries in his sight.

Since the Zelretch left in such a hurry, I'll keep these things safe for him for now.

Chen Li didn't even spare the pile of gems left behind by the Zelretch.

[Second Magic Kaleidoscope] Ability Model Development Progress: 1%.

"Let me see... just how many treasure hideouts does the hidden Zelretch have?" After packing up everything, Chen Li slowly put on his Slap Gloves again.

The Slap Gloves works like this: once the two parties have established contact and the other person has called you by your real name or code name, then... you can't escape it for the rest of your life.

This is the power of our "Gravity System" Miraculous Item... Do you like it?

"I like it!" Upon seeing the figure reappear in front of him, the Zelretch instantly released a smoke magic spell to obstruct the view.

When the smoke cleared, the Zelretch had vanished.

Smoke-sealing and escape services in one go!

Chapter 287 Gaia: You hit Alaya... so you can't hit me, please!

[Keep it up, old man who's good at running away!]

[Whatever you do, don't let that terrifying Miraculous Forger catch you!]

[The weight of both planetary and human history rests on your shoulders!]

Alaya and Gaia sat in the live broadcast room watching the entire process of the Zelretch's escape.

At this moment, the Zelretch looked as pathetic as a bee-draught mouse that had entered a space base to prepare for war, launched the Star of Africa, only to find that its safe had expired, and could only frantically run away with the Heart of Africa in its pocket.

He was being relentlessly chased by a Bloodhound that had activated a resource-penetrating, health-locking, Auto-aim cheat.

There were even two teammates nearby who had fallen into the river at the start of the game and could only whisper sarcastic remarks in their ears from beyond the grave.

"Damn it, if you're so good, you do it!" Zelretch cursed under his breath.

No matter how many times I run away, no matter how far away I am in Parallel World, just when I'm about to feel at ease, there's always a figure suddenly patting my shoulder and saying something...
