The answers of the two divine envoys made Xia Duo's mind confused. Even the two divine envoys could not detect any abnormality, but he clearly reversed time twice in a row even after confirming the authenticity of the world.
.
This is incredible!
In a sense, Daphne can even be said to have defeated the Lord of Radiance!
For a moment, Xia Duo didn't know what to do. This should be regarded as one of the few powerless experiences he had since traveling through time. This experience made him very unhappy, but he didn't know how to escape at the moment.
In the extreme case, even if he directly annihilates the entire Tanzan Peak regardless of the lives of Candela and other elves, what will happen next?
Will time reverse again in the future?
How could Xia Duo deceive himself into thinking that the third time would definitely not happen when he had already sensed at least two reversals of time?
But if this is the case, will he be trapped in this 17-second cycle forever?
Chateau didn't believe that anything could exist forever. Even if Daphne displayed this incomprehensible power to manipulate time, he didn't think it was free.
But the price is somewhere he can't see.
And the other party's ability once again made Sha Duo doubt the origin of the other party, of course not only Daphne, but also Daphne's father - the first generation wise man.
It is really hard to imagine that such perfect time-related magic was developed by one or several mages!
To put it bluntly, Shado doubts whether these time-related magics of the Illuminati that seem to be incompatible with the native magic of the main plane really come from another timeline?
It's not necessarily an invasion from another timeline. It's possible that wise men discovered this possibility and learned these magics from them, just like Shado entered the projection plane and learned new magics.
But why couldn't he predict the Elamite civilization?
Shado has indeed encountered development possibilities in the main plane that are completely different from the current ones, but because of his personal experience, he knows how difficult it is to use prophecy spells to derive true and accurate knowledge from those possibilities.
From this perspective, the Illuminati is able to master such time-related magic. If we do not consider the foreign invasion in conspiracy theories, it is indeed what they deserve.
However, as someone who stands on the opposite side of the Illuminati, Shado can recognize and even praise the enemy's achievements, but he must not succumb to the powerful power controlled by the enemy.
But how to break the situation now?
These things he experienced personally also reminded Xia Duo of a movie he saw deep in his memory in his hometown before he came to this world.
A certain mage has mastered a powerful time artifact and negotiates with powerful near-god beings by creating a continuous cycle of time. The first sentence of that mage in each time cycle is called:
"Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate terms!"
What Sha Duo is encountering now is very similar to the scene in the movie, but unfortunately he is not the human mage who creates the cycle of time and leads the negotiations, but Dormammu, who is constantly cycling and being negotiated.
Chateau had the impression that Dormammu couldn't stand such a repeated cycle and compromised. So, what about himself? Will he also compromise because of this?
But he didn't even know what Daphne was asking for! He didn't think Daphne was using this method to get him to support the Illuminati's time-related rituals.
And they are more inclined to think that this is part of the time-related ceremony. Yes, the decisive battle has already begun. From the moment he and Daphne arrived at Tanzan Peak, the final decisive battle has quietly started.
However, Xia Duo was a hindsight and did not realize this fact until he found himself in a time loop.
So the question is, how can we break the cycle and even go further to completely defeat the Illuminati?
At this moment, Xia Duo's mind was not focused on the spell showdown with Daphne. Of course, he couldn't really care less. If he really lost, who knew whether the other party would determine the result.
With this thought, Shado also gradually gained some insights into the purpose of Daphne or the Illuminati, but he was more focused on trying to break this circular dilemma.
The avatar side only needs to remain under complete control. The victory or defeat here is not important. The main body side is to establish contact with the larger real world through [Wide Area Detection].
He always believed that Daphne's reversal of time would not be without cost, and he even did not think it was a real reversal of time at all, because the current situation was not about reversing time for him alone, but involved everything.
Even if he asked the divine envoy and the foreign prince in the distance, he found nothing unusual, which shows that everyone should be on the same timeline.
The reason for this similar time-traveling situation on his side, Sha Duo himself speculated, may be related to the timeline, and the purpose of modifying the future is achieved by changing the past.
However, generally speaking, no one can realize the changes in the timeline. The real history he has experienced and the real consciousness he has gained are naturally coordinated with the timeline.
But not only Shado will encounter accidents, the Illuminati will also encounter accidents, and this accident is Shado.
Maybe it was the identity of the time traveler, or maybe it was the extra characteristics given by the portable space. In short, Xia Duo personally felt this change in the timeline that was similar to going back in time.
If he didn't realize it, wouldn't he be coordinated by nature?
But anyway, he has realized it, and he also believes that such a change will never be without cost, and the way he can think of to increase the cost is to find ways to increase the objects involved in time reversal.
As long as he can involve the entire main plane, and even the Holy Golden Dragon Empire in the outer realm, he does not believe that the Illuminati can still operate like this.
But everything must be done quickly. After two previous "time reversals", Shado discovered that Daphne seemed to have discovered his purpose of wanting Candela and the others to escape, and was always stuck before Candela and the others could actually escape. Time suddenly reversed.
In other words, Shado wants to expand the scope of Daphne's time-related magic to affect the target as much as possible. All he has is less than 17 seconds. If it exceeds, he may have to start all over again.
…
After making up his mind, Xia Duo not only expanded the time-related magic to affect the target in the main plane through [Wide Area Detection], he even took the risk of contacting Chang'an City, which had already left the main plane, to "shroud" the time-related magic on him.
Magical influences "contagion" beyond the home plane.
If his guess is correct, it should be able to greatly increase the cost of the Illuminati's manipulation of the timeline, and maybe it can cause the other party to fall into an energy crisis in one fell swoop.
But if this is the case, you can't really ignore the duel on the avatar's side, because it is very likely to become an established reality, and there will be no chance to do it again.
We must seize the opportunity to suppress Daphne as much as possible, or at least let the other party reveal more secrets.
