Soul of Negary

“We and Xu Fu are enemies, so you’re probably thinking about something else” Rip Z glossed this over while continuing with his work and systematically collecting data. It was only now that he noticed the others didn’t notice Mi Yi, as if he was the only one who could see and hear him.

Furthermore, a bit of a distance away, another Mi Yi was standing with Central Fu, both observing Mi Ze and Xu Fu’s battle.

“Nothing but a small trick to make the soul escape from the body” Mi Yi gave a simple explanation. Although he wasn’t quite as talented as Mi Ze when it came to Aura Summation, he actually wasn’t that far behind. This was Soul Traveler, an ability he created using Aura Summation as a basis, which allowed his soul to covertly leave his body for a short period of time.

On the other side, the other members of the Ultra Space-Time Squad were quickly boarding the phone booth, seemingly preparing to do something.

“And that’s not necessarily the case” Mi Yi smiled and explained: “My Flames of Ambitions are always notifying me of anything that is beneficial or dangerous to my ambitions”

“This evaluation would change in accordance with the situation, but it requires a bit of a process. In the beginning, mister Rip didn’t seem to be able to aid my ambitions in the slightest, but in that split moment earlier, you suddenly became one of the greatest points of reliance for my ambition”

“The reason why this is the case is most likely better known to mister Rip than I” Mi Yi was speaking with a bright smile, but he was in fact remaining cautious against Rip. He was confident in being able to persuade Rip, but there were never any guarantees, and caution was always necessary.

“I will give you a chance” Rip paused his work for a brief moment before declaring that.

Although Mi Yi hadn’t managed to escape the influence of the Eye of Multitudes, he wasn’t too far from achieving it either. If he truly had the ability to break through the limit, there would be no harm in giving him a chance.

For both personal and official reasons, Rip did not want Xu Fu as a comrade. The personal reason was that another Xu Fu had deceived his group and forced him to fuse with Smith, which was his own grudge. The official reason was that he believed Xu Fu to be too dangerous. These kinds of people tended to consider themselves the center of the universe and saw nothing but themselves. If he were to join the United Front, there was a possibility that he would bring them disaster rather than any potential fighting force.

Unfortunately, the United Front’s council had already decided to induct Xu Fu into their organization, and Rip Z didn’t have the authority to veto this decision. However, if there was another person who had the potential to break through the world’s limit, and they resided in the same world as Xu Fu, then this would be no issue.

Every parallel world was only 1 out of 8888 parts of the original world, so they were all exceedingly weak. According to the United Front’s research, the most each world would be able to endure was one person who broke through its limits. If someone had already broken through within a certain world, that world’s structure would be greatly altered, and any further attempts to break through would only lead to that world’s collapse.

For that reason, when two individuals who had the potential to break through appeared in the same world, the United Front’s rules stated that they would aid the one with more value, with Negary being the common enemy. From a certain point of view, they mostly did not operate with emotions, only taking value into consideration.

“Then I’ll thank mister Rip in advance” Mi Yi smiled, then his figure slowly faded away from Rip Z’s vision. On the other side, Mi Yi’s eyes twitched lightly before he continued to watch Mi Ze’s and Xu Fu’s battle, with Xu Fu beginning to gain the upper hand.

…

Having synchronized with the world, Mi Ze had the ability to control the world, but the rules to this were that he had to adhere to the rules of the world, being strictly restrained to its most basic rules.

In other words, if Mi Ze wanted to manifest a certain phenomenon, it had to be something that the world itself could do, and the success wholly depended on how much influence he had over the world after fusing with it.

A thick layer of black matter broke off from Xu Fu’s body, the parts that had been killed by the continuous lightning. If Xu Fu hadn’t realized how to use the power of Error and ensured that his existence continued to wrongly persist, he would have fallen to the lightning storm a while ago.

“My powers have increased again, I really have to thank you” Xu Fu raised his hand, creating a new layer of exoskeleton around his body. A bolt of lightning flickered and rushed around the exoskeleton, but couldn’t harm Xu Fu at all.

“Have you ever heard of a Faraday cage? Or rather, do you know the concept of electrical shielding? I’ve just finished optimizing my armor once again” Xu Fu laughed: “Knowledge is the curse upon the conservative, but it is the treasure of the brave”

“For that reason, you who have accepted your fate are being cursed by knowledge, but I who continued to resist have gained the treasure of knowledge”

With a light leap, Xu Fu landed just a bit away from Mi Ze. The current Xu Fu looked like he had been completely cut off from reality, like an unreal, yet somehow existing contradictory character.

The crimson power of Error began to spread, Xu Fu’s personal Truth. Xu Fu’s fist broke through the numerous layers of obstruction to strike Mi Ze’s body, leaving the power of Error upon it, interfering with his ability.

“Perhaps what you said makes sense, but you cannot win. Your enemy isn’t just me, but the world itself. You who have chosen to become Error aren’t welcomed in this world” Mi Ze’s gaze turned towards the members of the Ultra Space-Time Squad. While these people weren’t individually powerful, their true role within this battle wasn’t dependent on their strength.

They had now all gathered inside the phone booth, which disappeared with a flash of light, bringing them with it. The longer time went by, Xu Fu’s existence would grow increasingly weaker.

The role of the Ultra Space-Time Squad lay within the ‘Ultra Space-time’ portion of their name. They had the ability to travel to the past, thus changing tiny details in the past to alter the future.

Originally, Xu Fu was a deadly virus in this world that had no cure. If the Ultra Space-Time Squad had forcefully tried to fight this virus, they would have only gotten infected by the virus themselves and led to their deaths.

Because of that, the Ultra Space-Time Squad guided the Mi clan’s branch of the timeline into existence, creating a cure to this virus, which became fully realized in Mi Ze who had completed the World – Man – Will triple synchronization. This allowed the Ultra Space-Time Squad to now go back to the past and actively heal the world.

The past was the foundation of any entity’s present, so when the foundation itself was changed, the entity’s present would naturally also be influenced. Xu Fu quickly found his memories unravelling chaotically within his mind, if he hadn’t continued to maintain the form of Error, he might have already been changed, perhaps even becoming a fool who spouted nothing but words of kindness and self-sacrifice.

I need to come up with a solution, the past is being changed more and more.

Xu Fu put up his hand to guard against Mi Ze’s attack, only to be sent flying backwards into the ruins. The changes of the past had begun to manifest as large mountains that tightly restrained his body.

…

Mi Yi calmly waited until a certain moment when a piece of memory appeared in his mind. The past ‘him’ had received some information that allowed him to already create and perfect a certain technique.

The Revelation inversion technique.

Mi Yi displayed a smile of extreme bliss, but then forcefully suppressed it just a few seconds later, turning to Central Fu who was also observing the battle and said: “Nation reclaimer, I have a proposal”
