Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 481 The Power of the God of Greed

"Tell me, how can I cooperate with you?"

After confirming that Harks really did have a way to make her travel through time, Tang Zijun was immediately eager to try it out.

"Are you going to start right away or what? I'm all ready. Don't worry, I won't resist your tricks, and you don't need to worry about what I do to you."

Seeing that Tang Zijun couldn't wait to start, Hacks waved his hand, signaling him to calm down first.

"First of all, I am very grateful for your trust in me. After all, not everyone is willing to let down their guard and let me deceive them, especially when we are enemies."

After a pause, Hax continued.

"I'm just saying I can do it, but you also need to understand that this is far from as simple as you think. The longer you travel through time, the harder it will be for me to control you."

"You just said that the God of Time and Space wanted to kill you before you were born. You should understand that in this timeline, you have been born for almost a year."

"When I experimented before, I could only rewind for ten minutes at most, but this is almost a year. Do you know how difficult that is? I simply don't have that kind of power."

Greedy people are divided into different levels, which naturally presents them with energy challenges.

Even at his peak, Harks was at most at the level of a high-ranking officer, but his ability to deceive time had clearly reached a god-like level.

Even if he were to exploit a loophole to defraud Tang Zijun alone, that would be beyond his current capabilities, as it would take almost a year.

Hearing what Hax said, Tang Zijun nodded in understanding.

After a moment of thoughtful consideration, he tentatively asked, "So, that means that if you possess enough power, you can send me back?"

"That's right, exactly." Hax nodded emphatically.

He also understood the extent of the trouble this matter was. Sending Tang Zijun's consciousness back to the past was not just a simple deception; he had to fabricate a perfect lie to do it.

While this is also very difficult, fabricating a lie is significantly less difficult than the immense energy required to accomplish it.

Moreover, Hax was very confident in his abilities, so he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Alright then."

Hearing Hax's assurance, Tang Zijun decided to go all out.

After a moment of contemplation, Tang Zijun raised his hand slightly and made a grasping motion in the air. The next moment, a transparent crystal shimmering with pure starlight appeared between his fingers.

The moment Hacks saw that thing, his expression changed.

Not only him, but even Curly Ears was stunned. The difference was that Curly Ears' body began to tremble, as if he had seen his natural enemy.

It was an incredibly pure crystal, like the unmelting ice in a snow-capped mountain, yet its surface constantly shimmered with tiny starlight, like a nebula, making it exceptionally exquisite.

Without a doubt, this is a mirror core.

However, the aura emanating from this mirror core and the energy it contains surpass everyone's understanding. Even if all the greedy people were tied together, they would not be able to match the energy within this mirror core.

Staring blankly at the mirror core, Hax felt as if his brain had short-circuited.

"W-w-w-w-...could this be...?"

"Ah." Tang Zijun knew what Hax wanted to say and nodded slightly. "It's the being you're thinking of."

Upon receiving Tang Zijun's personal confirmation, Haxton gasped in shock.

Now he understood why Tang Zijun had been able to defeat him so easily, and he didn't complain about his defeat at all. He was joking; even that guy had been killed by her, so controlling him would be a piece of cake.

He licked his lips and glanced cautiously at Tang Zijun. "You...you really did give that person in the mirror world..."

"Chi attacked first; I was only defending myself," Tang Zijun said, spreading her hands.

He wasn't lying. Tang Zijun genuinely wanted to have a proper talk with the other party, since he wasn't confident he could kill him. However, the Mirror Eater, who had just been freed, was completely unreasonable. The guy who had been sealed in Dugu for thousands of years had already gone mad. Even after the seal was broken, the Mirror Eater still thought he hadn't come out of the seal.

It can be said that the seal has become the inner demon of the Mirror Eaters.

Upon first seeing Tang Zijun, he saw her as one of his inner demons and launched an attack without hesitation. After confirming that the other party was truly beyond communication and there was no possibility of saving her, Tang Zijun had no choice but to kill her, risking half her life to finally kill her in the Reversed World.

Seeing Tang Zijun's composed demeanor, Hax gave a complex smile. "Are you really willing to go this far?" "Of course. For the sake of this timeline, and for my own sake, I cannot allow the God of Time and Space to succeed, no matter what."

"No, Wolf Rider, what I mean is..." Hax raised his eyes slightly. "Are you really willing to hand over the mirror core of the Mirror Eater God of Greed to me?" Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun was slightly taken aback.

Then Hax continued, "You understand the power of this thing better than I do. With this, I will completely break free from the shackles of high-ranking officials."

"Whether your mission succeeds or fails, I will gain this unparalleled power, and you will eventually return to your future."

"Aren't you afraid that once you go back, I'll use this power to kill you and rewrite history?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Curly Ears twitched and subconsciously looked up at Tang Zijun, but Tang Zijun's expression remained unchanged. Looking at Hawkes before her, Tang Zijun suddenly recalled the time she found him again ten years later.

Is it the power of the god of greed?

Tang Zijun smiled.

He gazed intently at Hawkes and said softly.

"I told you, I believe you."

"Believe it...?" Harker repeated the word softly, meeting Tang Zijun's gaze. He felt an overwhelming mix of emotions. "Old Chang, I know you've always hated your identity, but I want to say that you're different from other greedy people."

"Chang Lei gave you everything he dreamed of, even his own life. This kind of humanity is something that other greedy people lack, and something they can't obtain in their entire lives. You deserve a better future."

Listening quietly to Tang Zijun's words, Hax fell silent.

He paused, then a wry smile appeared on his lips.

"Wolf Riders"

"My Future Self"

Are you happy?

Tang Zijun didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.

Looking at Tang Zijun's face, Hax also tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the gleaming mirror core, and he reached out his hand.

"Then let me be the hero this time."

Tang Zijun also placed the mirror core in his hand.

Please.

Mirror core obtained.

Like a star sealed by the dust of time, it shimmered in his palm, wisps of light twinkling like gossamer threads around his fingertips. In an instant, the aura emanating from Hax underwent a dramatic transformation.

His eyes were instantly filled with light, and the surrounding scenery began to appear illusory and distorted.

Harker felt as if every piece of energy in his body was torn into countless fragments, only to be instantly reassembled. Between these dissipating and reforming states of consciousness, a pure white mask slowly appeared on his face.

It was a mask with only one eyeglass frame, entirely snow-white, flawless like porcelain, yet exuding a strong, eerie aura.

The terrifying power of deception, like a flood bursting its banks, began to spread uncontrollably.

Everything around was affected by this deceptive power, becoming distorted and forming visible ripples that spread in all directions.

"Control it! Old Chang!"

Just as Hax was about to be swallowed by that power, a thunderous shout instantly jolted him awake.

Hacks shuddered and snapped awake. Looking at Tang Zijun, who had somehow picked up a knight's sword, he felt a chill on his neck.

"Sorry... this energy is a bit too 'fierce'..."

Previously, some greedy people called him the next god of greed, but now Hax just wants to find him and slap him twice.

When you're bragging, can you please not include me in your stories?

The energy shock from the mirror core after death almost devoured him; Hax couldn't imagine what kind of immense power a true mirror eater possessed.

However, when he touched the mask on his face, he felt that he was almost at the threshold of that stage.

Slightly panting, Hax waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the distorted energy around him was instantly drawn back into his body. Looking at his hands, Hax suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

"This...this is true power...?"

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Hax slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Zijun opposite him.

"Get ready, wolf riders."

You have no chance to regret it.
