Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 476 Battle Against the God of Time and Space

In the dim light, a musty, decaying smell wafted over.

The old man's eyes were incredibly sharp, yet they also held something else within them.

His body was slightly hunched, and his hair was almost completely gone, with a few strands clinging to his scalp, gleaming faintly. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his whole body looked gloomy and aged.

"You know me?" Tang Zijun asked.

The sound echoed in the hall, creating ripples.

Soon, the old man grinned, revealing a smile more painful than a grimace. "Of course I know you... I think in the church today, there's probably no one who doesn't know you."

Tang Zijun tilted his head; he hadn't expected to be so famous.

That's understandable, considering he caused such a huge mess in the Pocket Universe of the Wasteland World. If there were a bounty, he'd probably be at least at the level of one of the Four Emperors.

Otherwise, these guys wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to try and destroy themselves in the real world's history.

"It's actually quite interesting. Someone like you actually established a human organization. I thought you guys would transform the whole world into a place for androids to live."

The old man's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Tang Zijun's slightly harsh words. "I am not the destroyer of life, Wolf Rider. On the contrary, I was born to save that corrupt world."

"The law of nature dictates that the fittest survive. Life forms that master technology will never be part of the ecosystem. All technology is a form of destruction against nature, and the accumulation of this destruction will be a huge disaster for the entire universe."

"But you were born from technology, weren't you?" Tang Zijun frowned.

"Yes, I cannot choose my birth," the old man said, raising his head slightly. "But I can choose my path. What I pursue is to make my world a truly eternal and perfect world."

"And your pursuit, your desired eternal and perfect world, can only be achieved by standing on the ruins of many civilizations." "The arrival of a new era always comes with sacrifice... and that is unavoidable." The old man smiled coldly and continued, "I think you understand this better than I do, after all, your civilization has an old saying: 'No destruction, no construction.'"

"We have an old saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'" Tang Zijun crossed her arms. "Whatever you want to do, you should know it's impossible, because I will stop you."

"Ha, yeah."

Hearing Tang Zijun's threatening words, the old man did not show any extra expression; on the contrary, his smile widened.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that you're here. You know, when I sensed your presence in the reverse time flow, I was truly astonished. The abilities you possess are far more powerful than we knew."

"And this further demonstrates just how crucial and important my operation is."

"If you're referring to traveling through time to assassinate people from the past, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you," Tang Zijun said softly. "We already know about the list; you won't succeed."

The old man composed himself, maintaining his composed, smiling demeanor. "Do you really think I've failed?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun did not answer immediately. Instead, she shifted her gaze to the completely irreparable front of the car directly above and behind the other person, as well as the car body hanging from the branches of the giant tree.

After a pause, Tang Zijun finally spoke. "Given that your time-space train has been reduced to a snakeskin, yes, I think you've failed."

The old man gave a sinister smile. "But you won't fail if you die here."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden whistling sound came from the side.

Alarm bells rang in Tang Zijun's mind. He only had time to raise his hand to block before a tremendous force struck him, slamming heavily into his chest and sending him flying.

Like a kite with a broken string, Tang Zijun traced a path through the air before tumbling several times on the ground before regaining her balance.

The golden armor gradually faded, revealing its original silver-black color.

Tang Zijun clicked her tongue and stood up, supporting herself on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's attack was so swift, and it broke through his Magic King form with just one strike.

Although his own gold element magic power had been greatly depleted, the fact that the opponent was able to break through his armor was indeed proof of their combat strength.

It's worth noting that even those high-ranking officials who were greedy back then couldn't do this.

"Tang Zijun!"

From the moment the opponent launched the sneak attack until Tang Zijun was sent flying, Juan Erduo didn't even have time to react. But when she came to her senses, she quickly ran towards Tang Zijun.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Tang Zijun flexed her wrists and looked in the direction from which the attack had just erupted, only to see a figure that looked exactly like the old man from before.

The only difference is that half of the opponent's body has been shattered, and a piece of dark blue core inside has even been exposed, with tiny arcs of electricity constantly flashing.

Moreover, the surface of the core even had several cracks, like a cut on a crystal-clear gemstone. The grotesque cracks caused the energy inside to continuously overflow, turning into faint dark matter energy that drifted out.

Tang Zijun believed that if he and Juan Erduo hadn't been special, they would probably have been affected by the radiation emanating from the other party's core. Now he understood why this area of ​​the surface world had become like this and was out of his control; this radiation ability, comparable to divine power, was indeed quite something.

On the other side, the old man who had been speaking to him vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed. "Using a phantom of time's remnants to speak to me... No, that's not right. These seem to be two completely different timelines." Tang Zijun frowned. "Hmph, you noticed quickly, Wolf Rider."

The old man, whose body was half broken, raised his hand and aimed it at Tang Zijun opposite him.

"The timeline of your world is indeed unshakeable, but it's different in this dimension known as the 'Surface World.' I can't be sure when you'll arrive here, so in order to face you in my full glory, I've left myself in various timelines within this dimension. And the moment one of them discovers you, I will break through the barrier of time and descend upon this place."

"Excuse me for interrupting, but when you say 'your prime,' are you referring to your current state?" Tang Zijun smiled, her hand already gripping a knight's sword.

"Drink!!" The old man seemed to be enraged. He let out a roar and raised his hand to release a dazzling and terrifying laser beam. Tang Zijun didn't even glance at it. With a flash of sword light, the laser beam was directly and solidly deflected, striking the rock wall a hundred meters away with a deafening explosion.

The entire hall began to tremble violently, or rather, this world was teetering on the brink of collapse.

"To survive a kick from me while in reverse time flow, in terms of defense, I would call you the strongest."

Tang Zijun gave a soft "ha!" and pointed her sword directly at the old man opposite her.

"But in your current state, I wouldn't even need to switch forms to kill you!"

"Don't be so arrogant, wolf rider!!"

The old man held a ghostly light in his hand, and a dark red blood sword appeared in his hand. Without any visible movement, he suddenly disappeared from the spot!

The crisp sound of metal colliding exploded outwards.

Tang Zijun simply raised his hand to block, and the old man who was a hundred meters away had already arrived in front of him.

"A speed contest?" Tang Zijun sneered.

He had already realized that the other party had accelerated the flow of time within themselves, which instantly put him into another kind of time flow, giving him a speed far beyond the norm.

In a sense, this can also be considered a kind of "time-shifting".

but,

Even in a regular Rider form, this level of acceleration isn't without the possibility of being countered.

"Don't underestimate a knight!"

Ding ding ding ding!!

Accompanied by Tang Zijun's soft shout, a series of ear-piercing explosions erupted wildly.

With each strike, Tang Zijun's knight's sword exploded in mid-air with a destructive energy wave, while a dark blue shadow moved swiftly around Tang Zijun like a shadow.

Curly-Ears, watching from afar, was completely stunned; she had never witnessed a battle of this caliber before.

Whether it was the information received during the awakening or the information I had previously learned about the battle between magical girls and evil forces, none of them could compare to the battle at hand.

It was clearly just a simple sword technique, but the energy fluctuations caused by each strike affected everything around it.

The earth trembled, cracks appeared in the carvings on the ceiling, and pieces of stone kept peeling off and falling from above, reflecting the deep darkness beyond the ceiling—a sign of the shattering of the surface world.

This is the core of the surface world, and also an important part of this dimension; beyond this lies a void devoid of any concept.
