Chapter Fifty-Two: I Will Surely Change It All

Page (1/3)

[Chen Mo: Actually, it’s not too bad. Most of the problems the group members have can be solved without too much difficulty.]
[Chen Mo: Let’s think from the easiest to the hardest about how to handle your issues.]
[Chen Mo: First is Shuai Zai, @Lu Mingfei, your problem.]
[Lu Mingfei: Me?]
[Chen Mo: Yes.]
[Chen Mo: Let’s not discuss the late-stage White King and Odin for now; those two won’t show up for you anytime soon. Although the Dragon Kings possess world-altering power, most of them are fragile glass cannons with high attack, so dealing with them isn’t overly difficult.]
[Chen Mo: For example, if I gave you armor of an undying deity, and once Warlong finds the talismans, lent you a few sets to use, you could definitely single-handedly defeat those Dragon Kings without relying on Lu Mingze’s sacrifice.]
[Chen Mo: The same goes for the Emiya side. With power in hand, as long as your intelligence is normal, you should know how to use that power combined with the future storyline to preemptively resolve who to save and who to eliminate, steering the story’s ending toward a happy conclusion of your own design...]
[Chen Mo: So your problems are easy to solve. Using brute force alone can handle most of the issues, and our current chat group can provide you with that strength.]
[Chen Mo: As for those problems that can’t be fixed by power alone, such as some people’s constitution or lifespan issues, the chat group or the power of my main god space can also handle them.]
[Lu Mingfei: Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a lot more at ease...]
[Chen Mo: Don’t get too happy too soon. With your reckless personality, even if I gave you power, you might still mess things up. If this chat group ever unlocks world-traveling abilities, I’ll definitely come and train your terrible temper hard!]
[Lu Mingfei: ...Damn.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: What about my world’s situation, Mr. Chen Mo? Any suggestions?]
[Chen Mo: That’s more troublesome... because what you want isn’t just to kill the Origin Elf. If that were the case, following the storyline would suffice. After all, in the end, whether the Origin Elf or Viscote perished, all elves including the protagonists survived.]
[Chen Mo: But the path you’ve chosen is extremely arduous... going back to the past, killing the Origin Elf alone, and changing the series of disasters caused by the birth of the Origin Elf in the future.]

[Chen Mo: Besides having to fight a theoretically planet-destroying super boss whose own energy rivals a star, you also must bear the consequences of altering decades of this world’s timeline...]
[Chen Mo: Uh... it’s unfortunate, but given the current situation, your wish cannot be fulfilled in the short term.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: So it’s not impossible to accomplish?]
Kurumi seemed more optimistic than expected.
[Chen Mo: Yes, but it will be extremely difficult.]
[Chen Mo: The power needed to achieve your wish isn’t small... Comparing to the power tiers in our world, to steadily defeat the Origin Elf, you’d need at least a saint-level strength.]
[Chen Mo: But power alone isn’t enough. You know the Origin Elf created numerous elves to resurrect her boyfriend, and she herself had time manipulation abilities like yours, yet she never altered the timeline to reverse her boyfriend’s death.]
[Chen Mo: In other words, besides needing power far beyond the Origin Elf’s, you must also possess time control far exceeding hers—able to forcibly rewrite the timeline without the world’s interference, reshaping the story to your desired outcome.]
[Penglai Mountain Kaguya: That sounds extraordinarily difficult.]
[Han Li: Perhaps, as described in my future story, once I gain power comparable to the Dao Ancestor’s, I might be able to deal with this Origin Elf, but who knows how many years that will take...]
Moreover, possessing power doesn’t equate to having the ability to rewrite the timeline. Like Lin Sheng Zheng Zha: destroying a world is just a single punch, but changing the timeline...
Even a high-level saint who has condensed all spatial and temporal lines into a singular existence cannot alter the timeline of at least a mid-level magical world without corresponding time-space control abilities.
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Phew... thank you for telling me, Mr. Chen Mo.]
Upon learning the truth, Kurumi felt a wave of discouragement, even a tinge of despair... She realized how laughably naive she had been.
She had easily believed the Origin Elf’s words, seeing herself as the savior, the great hero rescuing the world from ruin, yet her actions caused the deaths of countless ordinary girls turned into elves, even her closest friends.
Later, seeking revenge against the Origin Elf and trying to atone for her sins, she only brought more slaughter, irreparable even with her time powers.

Furthermore, now knowing from Chen Mo how incredibly difficult and unattainable fulfilling her revenge and wish truly is, Kurumi sank into despair.
Her surging spiritual power began to spiral out of control; the red and black Gothic dress she wore started to transform into a white military uniform. Her jet-black hair spontaneously turned snow-white, and her golden clock-patterned left eye shifted into a blue astronomical clock...
“Dalet!”
At that moment, Kurumi summoned the last thread of consciousness, summoned the angel she was before becoming a demon king, channeled time and spiritual power into the barrel of a flintlock pistol, aimed it at her own temple, and fired a Dalet bullet, hitting herself.
Time began to reverse; the raging spiritual power calmed. The white figure faded from her body. She knelt on the ground, clutching her left eye, breathing heavily.
After a long moment, she slowly stood up, supporting herself against the wall, her gaze once again shining with determination.
“That’s right... I committed too many evils in the past; it’s almost impossible to change them now... But I still have a chance, the final chance, to change everything, to undo all the wrongs I have done, to resurrect those who died unjustly, to make amends for everything...”
“It’s only through the power of the chat group, only by relying on its power, that I can, that I can...”
Kurumi took out a brilliant gem from the shadow beneath her. The gem emitted a faint but dazzling light.
This gem contained an immense spiritual power, roughly equal to the spiritual energy within her own spiritual crystal... In other words, the gem in Kurumi’s hand was itself a spiritual crystal!
She looked toward the chat group that only she could see and took a deep breath.
“I cannot make any more mistakes... This is my only chance... I must seize it...”
“I will change everything... I swear!”
