Chapter 160 Disorder

At first, the building's outline became clearer, and the previously blurry and lifeless lines regained their vitality and brilliance. Then, the colors on the walls gradually became more vibrant, no longer the dull gray tones, but replaced by bright and warm hues.

Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be affected by this magical power, turning from a grayish appearance to a pure white like snow, drifting leisurely in the air.

The whole world seemed to have undergone a miraculous transformation, instantly transporting us from an old, gray photograph into a vibrant and dynamic reality.

All of this was dazzling, and a sense of awe for Meros's power welled up in my heart. It was truly terrifying that he could influence such a large area of ​​reality with just his power.

"Let's go, we can go down and rest for a bit. Thanks for keeping me company today. ヾ(????)?"

Ye Qingwan looked at the sunset in the sky, turned around and smiled slightly at Louis.

"Huh? Oh, okay. (? ???w??? ?)?"

Louis stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the beautiful figure not far away—Ye Qingwan.

With her back to the blood-red sunset, she was enveloped in a warm orange glow, looking like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

At this moment, Ye Qingwan turned her head slightly, her clear, watery eyes gazing at Louis, the corners of her mouth gently curving into a captivating smile.

The moment Louis saw that smile, he felt as if his heart had been struck by a powerful force, and it suddenly began to beat rapidly.

He could even clearly hear his own heartbeat, "thump thump thump," each beat so intense, as if it were about to break free from the confines of his chest and leap out.

The intense throbbing left Louis somewhat bewildered. He instinctively reached out and pressed his hand to his chest, trying to calm his almost out-of-control heart, but to no avail.

Ye Qingwan was so beautiful and charming that he couldn't resist her allure.

"Then, let's go."

Louis looked at Ye Qingwan's outstretched hand and instinctively gripped it tightly, following her all the way down...

..............................

Meanwhile, after Louis was pulled out by Ye Qingwan, only Moros and Lin Xiyue remained in the room.

Oh, there's another system, but systems aren't considered people. []~(￣▽￣)~*

"Well……"

After they left, Lin Xiyue blushed and tried to sit up. As soon as she moved, she found that her whole body ached, as if all the bones in her body had been broken and reassembled.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

Lin Xiyue frowned, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, enduring the pain, and looked at Molos with a dazed expression.

"Sweetie, relax."

"It's my fault for letting that thing hurt you."

Moros held Lin Xiyue tightly, stroking her tense back to help her relax. He kept apologizing in her ear, admitting his faults.

"It's alright, it's alright, it has nothing to do with you. I was just too careless; I forgot how dangerous this world is."

Seeing how remorseful Molos was, Lin Xiyue quickly comforted him.

That's exactly what she was thinking. She felt that she had been protected by Meros too well during this time, to the point that she had lost all sense of vigilance, which was really wrong.

The two of them embraced each other, and time seemed to stand still for a moment, leaving only a touch of warmth.

However, where Lin Xiyue couldn't see, Moros's eyes were filled with malice. He hated the things that hurt her, and he hated himself even more for failing to protect her.

It was at this moment that he had the idea of ​​switching to his original body to protect Lin Xiyue. However, this thought was only fleeting. Although he was an avatar, he still wanted to occupy a higher position in Lin Xiyue's heart.

[Hey, you guys think you've solved it already? If this huge chunk of spacetime power isn't handled properly, it could cause a huge problem! The spacetime administrator has already warned me!! (▼he▼メ)]

The system abruptly interrupted the warm atmosphere between Lin Xiyue and Molos, its tone incredibly fierce!

Hmm, cute yet fierce!

"The power of spacetime? What on earth happened?"

Lin Xiyue then realized that she didn't know what was going on.

"Yes……"

Before Meros could speak, he was silenced by the system's smug tone.

[Let me tell you, host. It's all thanks to me. If I hadn't come back in time, your man wouldn't even have been able to figure out what's wrong with you (；｀ヘ′).]

"I……"

Stop with the "I-I-I"! Let me speak!

The system, having finally gotten its chance to shine, didn't want Meros to interrupt. Its mouth spewed out a string of words like a machine gun.

[You inherently possess spacetime energy within your body. Because of this, when something forcibly enters your body, it causes a disruption in this spacetime energy. This results in injury, and even endangers your life, due to the struggle between these two forces.]

When the system gets down to business, it becomes quite serious.

"But I'm all better now, aren't I? I'm awake now."

Lin Xiyue was somewhat puzzled.

[That's because Meros used his power to suppress the power of spacetime for you and forcibly expelled the forces that were invading you. However, because these two forces were so deeply intertwined, some aspects of spacetime were also brought to the forefront.]

[Here it is.]

As the system spoke, it displayed a small ball of spacetime power in front of them, and then continued, "The appearance of this thing has also reduced the spacetime power within you, so you may travel back in time at any moment."

"Huh? But wasn't it possible to travel back in time at any moment before?"

Lin Xiyue was increasingly puzzled. What was the difference between this and before?

[It's different. When you went back before, you returned to the exact time you came from, without any error.]

[However, since you now lack this bit of spacetime power, your return time will be brought forward. At that time, you might encounter yourself, resulting in a physical breakdown between you. This is because spacetime cannot allow two versions of you to exist simultaneously.]

The system explained the difference between the two to Lin Xiyue in detail.

"So I can't do it now?"

Lin Xiyue thought that there should be a version of herself now. Although this version of herself might not be the same as the original version of herself.

[Ah...no, no. Because, because at this time you'll subconsciously avoid it, um, yes. You'll avoid it.]

The system answered Lin Xiyue's question somewhat haltingly, and to be honest, it seemed rather suspicious.
