Twelve, Gamble

Phoenix really won't take the initiative to attack Luo.

Because no matter how powerful Phoenix’s phoenix army is, it was just a legion-level force attached to the extraordinary space and cooperating with the extraordinary space before. of.

And behind Luo is Amishil, which is also a domain-level force. Even if they have fallen into silence and lost their crown, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. It's still a terrifying force.

It's true that Amishil fell into silence, and their highest authority did not pay much attention to other things, even their entire legion entered its domain, but this did not mean that he was really paralyzed, completely dead there.

If they really attacked the members of the Tool Clan, it is not guaranteed that the self-discipline counterattack awareness of the entire Amishil will be activated in the next moment, and they will fight them every minute.

It's like you are alone, digging wild vegetables around the hornet's nest. It doesn't matter in itself-but you want to kick the hornet's nest so hard. Isn't this looking for stings?

Phoenix naturally understood this, so his face was a little ugly. What he never expected was that Limulu's team suddenly had an extra Mech Race?

And... Logically speaking, the logic of the Tool Race will only obey the instructions of the highest authority and collective consciousness, and generally will not have too much independence...

Seeing Phoenix's face and Luo's calm expression, Limuru also wanted to understand this after being startled for a moment.

But he soon gave another wry smile and shook his head slightly.

It didn't seem to work for him—

Amishil is indeed a threat to Phoenix, but the Phoenix Legion will not take the initiative to provoke each other... The Mechanic Race is a well-disciplined combat legion, and its members often hardly focus on and proficient in other aspects except fighting. Nature also includes the so-called sympathy.

And even if the changes over the years have made these machine races have more human emotions, Luo herself is willing to help Limulu out of this dangerous situation, the only thing she can do is to continuously send applications to the highest authority that has fallen into silence instruction.

The Mechanical Race is a race that will be unswervingly driven by all members once a decision is passed, and it is almost impossible for a member to fight alone.

If the decision is not passed, then Luo's most basic concept is that he will not do it. In other words, even if Luo does it, it will be done without authorization. If it is destroyed, it will not constitute a counterattack by the entire race.

"so……"

Rimuru sighed softly.

Looking helplessly at Phoenix, who was slightly apprehensive, but quickly relaxed his brows, he thought to himself, "Is there still no way?"

Can he just let this incarnation die here, and then resign himself to his fate, clasping his hands together to protect his team members?

"Actually, it's not hopeless."

Suddenly, the voice of the great sage sounded in Limulu's mind: "In your previous result prediction, I found that the inherent system of time and defense is still your greatest combat power..."

"Um?"

As his thinking accelerated, Limulu's silent expression became more dignified. Phoenix had slowly raised the flames again. In his heart, Limulu's tone couldn't help becoming anxious: "That's because the inherent system of time control is only for yourself. It constitutes an influence, so it will not be offset by the other party's terrifying mysterious bonus, and Phoenix didn't know before that I have the law of time... so I didn't have the ability to counter it."

"What, do you have a way?"

"Hmm...Since the time ability targeting oneself will not be affected...and the other party has no counter-time ability, does that mean that we will not be affected as long as we carry out personal limited time travel?"

"You mean... an ability similar to Qingzi's?" Limuru was taken aback for a moment, but shook his head and smiled wryly: "The influence of time travel does not only interfere with himself, in a sense, he also concerns world."

"Unless, just like the ending in the Marvel world... Shuttle through different timelines, instead of shifting on this timeline itself."

"So... no matter what we change in the past by time travel, because we can't affect the [now] where Phoenix is, everything we change will be automatically corrected by the world itself, even..."

"It will still be targeted by the world."

Time can modify the future by changing the past.

This is where time is at its strongest.

But the problem is, your revised future...it's not stronger than you.

Phoenix's level of mystery is too high, to the point where Rimuru can't even carry out time travel related to the other party.

"I know." The great sage expressed a different view on this: "According to my deduction, if you travel in a locked future, there will be only one result, that is, you will be constantly repelled by time, and you will be crazily thrown away." Send it back to the present."

"But after all, you have mastered part of the law of time. If you deliberately don't change the course of history and just send yourself back to the past of this world, you can maintain it for at least three years."

"So what?" Limulu didn't think about it for a while: "After three years, I will be kicked out by time, and I will return to this moment again, and I will return to Phoenix again—just It's as if nothing happened."

"But you have three years more."

"..."

"That's right!" Limuru was taken aback for a moment, maybe he couldn't change the time even if he exhausted his own power, but this doesn't prevent... he can temporarily return to the past three years after exhausting his power.

Even if these three years can't change anything, after these three years, it will still return to this moment.

But he could just... get three years, limited to the growth time limited by himself.

"Back to a certain period of time and space in the past of this world for three years, you can abandon most of the incarnations of the outside world today, split and perform rituals in this world again... However, even so, I am not sure whether you can be promoted."

The great sage's voice was very calm, but Limuru could hear its helplessness: "Also, even if you are promoted, in my calculations, you will probably still be unable to escape the fate of being killed. In a sense, It’s pointless resistance, but it’s a hope after all.”

"Hmm..." Limulu didn't listen to the voice of the great sage at this time, but suddenly after being reminded by the great sage, he burst out with inspiration, as if he had caught something suddenly.

He was thinking... In the past three years, could it really be just to change himself?

Promotion will indeed make him stronger, but the difference between him and Phoenix is ​​actually not the slightest...

...

In fact, the real key point of being able to survive this difficult time, Limuru felt that it was not what he, Nine Tails, and Lilith needed to change, but that the strength of the other party was too big, and the key point naturally became...

How can we survive until the rescuer arrives, or find the rescuer!

Limulu didn't think of time travel to buy time before, or denied it. The reason is that although time travel will allow him to live a few years longer, but the moment he comes back, for others, time is everything. No change.

What concept? That is how far the rescuer is from them now, and how far he will be when he comes back.

Nine Tails and the others hadn't run away when he left, and naturally they hadn't run away when he came back.

In this case, Limuru will take it for granted that this ability is useless, because it cannot help his teammates and delay time in reality.

"In fact, there is another way that can be regarded as a kind of hope, but... the result may be worse."

The great sage watched Limuru remain silent, and soon, he gave another suggestion.

"Huh? Can you just tell me if you have any troubles?" Limu showed black lines all over his head. He was going crazy. Originally, the great sage belonged to the semi-god-level king of wisdom, and he was much higher than logical analysis and IQ. , and then this guy is still hiding it... It's like a trick.

In fact, Limulu also knows that almost all the methods that can be found now are those that pay a huge price but may not be effective, but life and death, as long as you can try it, you must try it.

Wouldn't it be worse than the current situation? ! !

The thinking of the great sage is mainly different from that of Limulu. The reason why Limulu feels that he wants to find a way to survive at all costs is because he brings in not only himself, but also his team members.

But for the great sage, the priority logic is to ensure Limuru's survival, and frankly speaking, even if Limuru dies this time, what he loses is only a few years to recover from his injuries. Maybe he will indeed die a few times. A companion, but if you don't consider your personal emotions, the stimulating effect of dying a few companions on Limuru may be a good thing...

Of course, the great sage is now an independent existence with his own thinking ability, so after serious consideration, he still gave out all the policies in a slightly euphemistic way, not only Limulu's inner persistence, but also a He himself was a little uncertain about his attitude.

Rationally, he thinks there is no need to pay such a high price for this death, but emotionally, as Shire, who lives with Limuru, he subconsciously regards the team members as his family.

"You can use your authority to initiate a subjugation application to this world." The great sage slowly gave his other method.

"What?"

"You are the future master of R'lyeh." The great sage's tone was very sure, as if Limuru had already been appointed by default: "So you must learn to use authority to manipulate your power to deal with power."

"You have to know, Limulu, the reason why the Vengeful Hyena thinks Phoenix is ​​weak is not because of how strong your team is, but because you have Protoss standing behind you, and you are the one with authority over R'lyeh."

"He can stop the protoss, but he may not have the extra power to stop R'lyeh's invasion - after all, R'lyeh is also a majestic domain-level force."

"Um……"

"What you said... makes sense, but the problem is... If I remember correctly, this world actually belongs to the world under the domain of Aamishil, right?"

"If I forcibly propose a resolution to crusade against this world, once R'lyeh is implemented, wouldn't it be..."

"This is exactly what I was worried about, so I didn't propose it immediately." The great sage said calmly: "Although you have reached the absolute right of support among those with authority after you have Ling Ling's support, you still have the right to support in the end. It’s just less than 10% of the authority, and the real decision-making power is still in the hands of the R’lyye center who, like Amishil, belongs to the self-discipline operation.”

"This kind of world invasion involves other domain forces. After judging the value, the highest center of R'lyeh is very likely to give you an order to abandon you and will not agree to the crusade."

"This is the first, and the second..." The great sage paused, and continued: "Even if R'lyeh agrees to your request to forcefully invade this world, then you do have a domain level, And the reinforcements that make Phoenix even overturn, but the problem is... you may also cause Alaya to declare war on the Amishel field."

"Just like when the empire domain declared war on the star god domain... suddenly there was an additional domain-level enemy."

"...Hiss, no matter how you listen to it, your second plan is to seek death..."

"But this is the plan with the highest survival rate." The great sage was also very helpless: "You should not be able to escape, even in the situation where forces in several domains are fighting, you have been targeted by Phoenix. No matter how chaotic the scene is, This body may only have one option of death."

"But... Germination may survive this chaos."

"...I see, is the survival rate the highest?"

Rimuru was silent for a long time——

"You can have two plans in parallel," the great sage reminded.

"I have another question, if we declare war on Amishil, does that mean..."

Limulu looked at the distant, independent mechanical girl in the starry sky: "Luo will be our complete enemy."

"Yes." The great sage nodded and said, "However, it's really nothing to her, right?"

"The tool race itself is not like human beings, because a short time together will leave a simple fetter."

"Okay, I got it." The blazing flames had completely struck, and Limuru suddenly protruded from the acceleration of thinking, and the bursting void energy was mixed with countless ferocious shots and willpower. Huge eyeballs suddenly emerged, shooting purple light After forcibly catching this move, he suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "Luo! I forgot, you Amishil... what is the answer you are looking for?"

"...?" Luo raised his head quietly, looked at Limuru with some doubts, and after a few moments of silence, said softly: "Our civilization consciousness needs to be awakened, so it wants to find a way forward."

"Really? Then..."

Phoenix was keenly aware of something, he stood up suddenly, and the phantom of the phoenix behind him spread its wings and rushed towards Limuru!

"If I say I can let you find the answer, can you let Amishil...help me once?!"

"..."

Luo raised his head in astonishment. He looked into Limuru's eyes. The other party didn't seem to be joking. She couldn't understand why the other party would say such a thing when he was destined to die, but she still honestly expressed this consciousness. After uploading, it was rare to receive a response from the highest authority.

There was a blue light in Luo's eyes. After a long silence, she nodded slowly.

"Yes, Amishil's highest consciousness has drawn up a contract."

"Very good." Limulu smiled, and he suddenly figured out, since he gambled a lot at the same time, why not gamble more!

Today, I want to... Stud!
