Chapter 181
Magallan, having returned to the far north, was now dumbfounded as he looked out the window at the vast expanse of white snow.
'Huh... didn't I get knocked into the air, then freefall, and finally get rescued? How come I'm back here in the blink of an eye? Am I dreaming? Or am I seeing a ghost...? Oh no, something evil!'
The same was true for Nian; Nian was captured by Xi and marked by the Year Beast.
With the two buffs, the memories of that year remained unaffected.
So Nian is currently completely bewildered, explaining what just happened to her older siblings beside her.
As for the 'my Little Rabbit's that Chen Ran mentioned—
As Divine Messenger, the Demon King Rabbit was naturally not included among the objects of the retrospection.
Even the Demon King Rabbit blinked, turned its head to look around, and then looked up at Chen Ran, immediately concluding. "Hmm... wasn't I still in Kazdel? How did I get here... ah, my brother is here too, so does that mean the world has been reverted?"
After all, the Demon King Rabbit was a witness to the Yelagund incident and the one who 'reversed the planet's timeline, thus causing Sea Creatures to revert to the Siracusa stage'.
So the Demon King Rabbit, who quickly understood the situation, didn't care about such a trivial matter.
The Demon King Rabbit simply stroked its chin, lost in thought like a little adult:
'My brother is probably just trying to fool the girl again...'
'Hmm... never mind.'
'As long as my brother is happy, I'll think about my own things.'
'I went to Kazdel before and, through Black Crown's mind-reading ability, learned about the situation in this Worldline— '
'So Theresia really did die?'
'It seems that, aside from the Twin Kings and Angel Line, Theresia's fate is pretty much the same in all the other Worldline.'
Is it because of the Black Crown? Or because of Precise?
The Demon King Rabbit has traveled through Worldline and has witnessed many of Worldline alongside Chen Ran.
Therefore, regarding Theresia's fate, the Demon King Rabbit was somewhat inclined to react with a numb, "Oh, I knew it."
However, as the Demon King Rabbit pondered whether, since Theresia was gone in this Worldline, she should simply return to end her trip, or perhaps check if Precise was still alive in this Worldline—
Amiya...?
The call from the side brought the Demon King Rabbit back to its senses, and it turned to look.
Then came Kal'tsit... oh, Kal'tsit from this Worldline. Including her, operators began to emerge from Rhodes Island one after another.
They all looked at the Demon King Rabbit and asked tentatively, "Amiya, do you... do you still recognize us?"
Chapter 277 Demon King Rabbit: Dr. Kal'tsit, where is Precise?
For Kal'tsit and the others in this Worldline, they really didn't know that the 'Amiya' they saw had actually been replaced.
In their eyes, Amiya was simply captured and then returned.
Just like Xi and Ayao before.
As a result, back and forth like this, 'Amiya' went from being a sunny, cheerful, and gentle magical girl who would shout about friendship and bonds at the beginning, to a cold, ruthless villainous executive whose pink princess dress turned into a black latex suit and whose magic wand even turned into a whip.
The Demon King Rabbit and Amiya from this Worldline, aside from their different experiences and personalities, are essentially the same person from different timelines.
In addition, the Demon King Rabbit's prolonged malnutrition led to slow development, resulting in it being almost the same size as the Amiya Demon King Rabbit, even though it was already an adult.
Even though the Demon King Rabbit has gotten quite plump and fair from Chen Ran's feeding over the past few days,
But unless you put the Demon King Rabbit and Amiya together, take off their clothes, and compare the two,
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to distinguish between the two people with the naked eye.
Therefore, under these circumstances, they in this Worldline had no choice but to temporarily resort to the most rudimentary method—
Hopefully, the 'Amiya' they see hasn't been hypnotized, brainwashed, or had her memories altered; it's just that her personality has been reversed.
So they began to shout and call out.
And what about the Demon King Rabbit?
The Demon King Rabbit didn't even need to guess; with the mind-reading ability of the Black Crown on its head, Demon King Rabbit instantly understood what the group of people in front of it were thinking.
Although the Demon King Rabbit genuinely didn't recognize these people, and in her original Worldline, she had absolutely no connection with them,
But what can you do when the Demon King Rabbit is kind-hearted?
Her indifference was simply a result of seeing too much of the same thing, and she had grown tired, weary, and numb.
So unlike last time, he didn't just turn around and leave.
After a long silence, the Demon King Rabbit finally spoke softly, "I am not the Amiya you know, and I have no connection with this place. Shouting at me is useless."
The Demon King Rabbit was telling the truth.
But to them, who are unaware of the background, is this any different from a magical girl, after her fall from grace, facing her former teammates for the first time and saying, "What do you mean by 'make me wake up quickly'? I know perfectly well now, I am absolutely clear-headed. Magical girls are just a game. I am no longer the person you all thought I was. I have been reborn by my master!"
So--
"Amiya... you really don't remember us?"
Madagascar, the soft and cuddly little cat, ignored the warnings from those around her, "Madagascar! Come back quickly!" and "It's dangerous!" and walked up to the Demon King Rabbit.
Through Black Crown's mind-reading ability, the Demon King Rabbit knew that the kitten harbored no hostility.
So when Madagascar reached out her little hand and gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, Demon King Rabbit had no intention of stopping her.
The fact that the Demon King Rabbit was so 'easy to get along with' gave the others hope, making them feel that there was a chance to awaken 'Amiya'.
But the Demon King Rabbit ignored the cheers and encouragement from the others, and just frowned slightly as she looked at Madagascar, who was half a head shorter than her.
Through the Black Crown, the Demon King Rabbit could clearly sense just how bad the physical condition of the frail kitten in front of her was.
And indeed, this is true. Madagascar, as a product of human experimentation, possesses great power, but various physical and mental complications have been tormenting her.
As a former battlefield medic, Demon King Rabbit naturally couldn't ignore this situation.
So the Demon King Rabbit gently raised its fingertip and said, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
As the words fell, a soft white light gently enveloped the Madagascar.
Madagascar didn't know what the white light was, but she felt a warmth that seemed to lessen even her aches and pains. "So comfortable, meow..."
"While I cannot completely heal your pain, I can make you feel a little better."
"Hmm... Amiya, I believe you, meow."
"No, I am not the Amiya you know... that's all."
Watching the Madagascar, enveloped in the white light, comfortably squint its eyes and purr like a kitten,
The Demon King Rabbit stopped explaining and simply raised its other hand.
The black Originium crystals started from Madagascar's toes and spread upwards until they covered Madagascar entire body, completely enveloping Madagascar like an eggshell.
White light heals, black shell freezes time.
The combination of the two allows Madagascar to have a good sleep, and when Madagascar wakes up, the 'eggshell' will break on its own.
However, when the Demon King Rabbit finished doing all that and looked up again,
However, they discovered that everyone except Kal'tsit from this Worldline looked astonished and rolled up their sleeves, seemingly wanting to rush forward to rescue them.
Because in the Demon King Rabbit's eyes, she had only seen a cute kitten, petted it, and then discovered that the kitten seemed to be sick, so she treated it a little.
But to others, it appears quite differently:
Despite the danger, Madagascar tried to awaken Amiya with her sincerity, but Amiya only frowned in displeasure and then casually wove an Originium cage to capture and imprison Madagascar.
Although the Demon King Rabbit probably didn't react to this, after all, although these operators were all quite strong, they were still not enough in the Demon King Rabbit's eyes.
So the Demon King Rabbit didn't even blink as the operators charged at her.
However, as the operators drew closer, the Demon King Rabbit noticed that they smelled wonderful and all seemed to have some injuries or illnesses.
With a wave of her hand, the operators rushed forward one after another, but they were still no match for the Demon King Rabbit. One by one, they were all locked inside the Originium Cage by the Demon King Rabbit.
In the end, only Kal'tsit remained on the scene.
The Demon King Rabbit remained silent, as did Kal'tsit.
It's unclear whether Kal'tsit knew she was outmatched and therefore preferred peace talks to conflict.
Perhaps Kal'tsit herself is a doctor, which is why she knows that the Demon King Rabbit, while seemingly wreaking havoc, is actually healing and saving lives.
But in short—
The two stared at each other in silence for a long time.
Finally, seeing Kal'tsit's expressionless and silent demeanor, the Demon King Rabbit thought for a moment and then simply spoke up, getting down to business. "Dr. Kal'tsit, may I ask, where is Precise?"
Kal'tsit: "...?"
Chapter 278 will start with a reenactment of a famous scene, where the Demon King Rabbit pulls Precise out of the Sarcophagus.
Kal'tsit has lived too long; what storms hasn't she seen?
Even when faced with absurd things like gods appearing in the world or humans being kept in captivity, she remained calm and composed, never losing face.
But the Demon King Rabbit's opening line, "Where is Precise?", was like a real blow, almost causing Kal'tsit to break through her defenses.
Although it hadn't reached the point where its eyes shrank into vertical pupils, its tail bristled, or it was hissing, Kal'tsit's gaze towards the Demon King Rabbit was indeed filled with some surprise and uncertainty.
She considered the possibility that Amiya might have been hypnotized, brainwashed, or even had her personality replaced, but no matter how it was replaced, her 'Amiya' could never say the name 'Precise'.
So when Kal'tsit finally realized something was wrong, she took a half step back, narrowing her eyes and frowning. "Who exactly are you...?"
"I am Amiya, but not the one you know. I've already said that."
The Demon King Rabbit bowed and said, "If you are Dr. Kal'tsit, you should be aware of the parallel world theory. So what is my relationship with the Amiya you mentioned? You can think of us as two identical flowers—so please allow me to ask again, where is Precise?"
First, they throw out a bunch of pre-set rules, then suddenly ask about the important matter.
Even Kal'tsit was momentarily stunned by this bombshell intelligence.
For the Demon King Rabbit, that one moment was enough.
When she looked up, the Demon King Rabbit's pupils flickered, and in an instant, she knew what Kal'tsit was thinking.
"I see, so it's in the AByss block of Rhodes Island?"
"Wait--!"
Kal'tsit knew perfectly well that one of Black Crown's abilities was mind reading.
She woke up with a start and tried to stop him.
But then she saw the Demon King Rabbit float up into the air, showing no intention of paying any attention to her, and fly towards Rhodes Island.
Seeing that there was no hope of stopping her, Kal'tsit couldn't help but bite her lip.
She didn't know why the Demon King Rabbit wanted to find Precise, nor whether letting the Demon King Rabbit contact Precise was the right or wrong thing to do.
But since things had come to this, Kal'tsit had no choice but to call out, "Mon3tr!"
As the colossal creature, nearly 9 meters long, roared and appeared, Kal'tsit immediately leaped onto Mon3tr's arm and shouted, "Mon3tr, catch up with her, quick!"
Within Rhodes Island, there is a block called AByss.
Here, two Sarcophagus are placed.
The Doctor once slept in one of Precise Sarcophagus, while Sarcophagus slept in the other.
Demon King Rabbit didn't know whether to say these people were carefree or that they were even better at slacking off Centaurea.
It's been almost several years since Rhodes Island was discovered.
As a result, over such a long period of time, they still failed to fully explore Rhodes Island, which was only 600 meters long, and even though they knew the location of Precise, they did not take any action.
However, this has actually benefited the Demon King Rabbit.
This area was unknown and off-limits to unauthorized personnel, so the Demon King Rabbit encountered almost no obstacles along the way and successfully arrived at the AByss block.
Even though Kal'tsit rushed as fast as she could, she was still a step too late.
Because when Kal'tsit arrived, the door had already been forcibly and violently dismantled by the Demon King Rabbit, revealing the Sarcophagus inside clearly to them.
"Amiya..." Upon seeing the familiar Sarcophagus, Mon3tr, beneath Kal'tsit's mount, let out a clearly tense and uneasy roar.
But Kal'tsit had no time to offer comfort, for she herself was beginning to feel anxious. "Amiya, are you really planning to—"
"I'm here, but I'd prefer you to call me 'Kal'tsit Demon King Rabbit', just like my brother does."
