At the same time (?), somewhere in the [Great Hollow], in a gray forest.
"Ha, ha, ha..." Albert was half kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.
"It's unbelievable..." Albert's clone, the human swordmaster Albert, exclaimed: "You actually learned the [Mind's Eye Technique] in such a short period of time. Sure enough, it's because you are my clone, so you have
Is there any way to share deep consciousness and memories from me?"
"Say, it's contrary to what I said, you are my clone." Albert (the original) insisted.
"No. In my world, I am the real person, and you are my clone." Sword Master Albert stubbornly insisted: "If you change the observation angle, the primary and secondary relationships are interchangeable."
"As long as you like it." Albert didn't want to argue with his clone anymore. He wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead, even though he couldn't stop sweating no matter how hard he wiped it.
"However, you still can't defeat Hercules with this alone. At most, you can only gain a little advantage when fighting him, and you can't even get a tie with him." Sword Master Albert added.
Albert (the real person) then frowned: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work, meow..."
"You also know very well that that guy is equivalent to a collection of countless great warriors in history. It is the ultimate existence that has been compiled and optimized by countless combat experiences of these great warriors, eliminating the rough and leaving the essence. You can't even connect one of these warriors
You may not be able to win, so why do you think you should be able to win against this ultimate collective?"
"I just... uh... thought I should surprise him... or something..." Albert scratched his head and said hesitantly.
"So you never thought about winning." The other party said coldly, hitting the nail on the head.
"No...win...of course I want to win..." The tiger man continued to scratch his head.
Although there is still a huge... distance between truly defeating Hercules.
The human sword master Albert sighed.
"If you really want to beat him, you need to do more. But there is no time now."
"As expected, there is nothing we can do, meow." If even Sword Master Albert said this, Albert (himself) felt that it was indeed impossible to win.
"No. For me, there is nothing I can do. For you, it may not be the case." The sword master said again: "You are the only Albert in all parallel worlds who can use the clone technique. You are different from us.
I knew this when I was summoned to this world. You in other parallel worlds may each have unique advantages and their own unique strengths. But they are not as good as you, you are different.
You are the only one who is on the throne of God. The only one who has this power to call you from other parallel worlds to this world.
No matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, no matter how powerful the power is, it cannot compare with your unique power."
Albert (the original) blinked: "I don't think I'm that great... In fact, I was just pushed to the ground by Hercules and beat me up..."
"You are what you are now. Because you lack experience and don't know how to use your unique power." Sword Master said: "But over time, you will definitely become stronger than anyone else. What you can control is not only
[Kama (Destiny)] is so simple, you should be able to control time and space - time and space itself are one."
"I...can control time? How is that possible?"
"Why do you think you can't?" Sword Master Albert said with a smile: "Summoning us [clones] from other parallel worlds is itself an ability to control time. Time is not necessarily like this
It flows vertically like water since ancient times. It can also flow horizontally like mirrors that reflect each other. The so-called parallel world is just the abscissa of time."
What a wonderful metaphor this is. Albert murmured in his heart.
"Let's get to the point." He was a little impatient.
"The point is," the sword master shrugged: "Since you have a way to control time and space, you may be able to do more things than the mere [Clone Technique]. You should be more free, and the vertical and horizontal coordinates of time are both
It’s only if it can be operated. Even if it can’t be controlled, at least it can be... [touched]?"
"I don't understand what you mean." The tiger man stroked his chin: "Does it mean that I can time travel and change the past?"
"No, I don't think you can time travel." The other party denied it firmly.
"So what can I do? Tell me clearly?" Albert complained, the other party's dumbfounded fans gave him a headache.
"You must find the answer yourself. I don't have the ability to [Clone Technique], so I can't answer you." The human sword master said: "But, okay, I'll give you some clues, maybe they will be useful. This year is AD
how many years?"
"Why are you asking this, meow? You don't know what year this year is, meow..." the tiger man pouted and asked.
The sword master gave the tiger a stern look: "Just answer."
"A.D. 526." Albert (the original) had no choice but to answer reluctantly: "It's almost summer."
"That's strange." Human Sword Master Albert smiled: "I should have died in 523 AD. The cause of death was heart disease. I clearly remember that Mutt was by my side when I died and watched me leave. Then
The child cried until his eyes were red."
The tiger man's eyes widened and he was too surprised to speak.
"I clearly remember that I was dead. But today, in the late spring of 526, I came back to life. In this... strange form, I am standing here talking to you. And my heart disease is not bothering me anymore.
This is how I looked in my heyday." Sword Master Albert laughed and said, "Then the question is, who am I here? Am I a living creature? Or am I already a ghost?
?"
The young tiger man felt his scalp numb when he heard this.
"You transcended the limitations of time and space and summoned me, who could not have existed at this point in time." Sword Master Albert replied: "Despite this, do you still think that you do not have the ability to control time and space?"
"What would you do if I sent you back to your original world?" the tiger man asked quietly.
"God knows. Return to nothingness and continue to sleep forever? Or, let my life happen again, just like a video replay?" The human sword master shook his head and said: "No matter what, I don't think you can send me to my place alive."
world, today in AD 526. That is already a future that [establishes my non-existence]."
"...But you still have to go back, right?"
"Of course. Staying here will only add to your burden, won't it." Sword Master Albert said.
"...You want to meet Muttmiao before you leave?"
"No. He doesn't know me as a human being in this world. I don't know him as a furry person in this world either. It's better not to meet him."
Albert (the original) was speechless.
"That's all I can teach you, so let's do it for now." Sword Master Albert urged: "It's time to send me back."
Albert suddenly thought of something and asked: "Answer before I send you back. You said you defeated Hercules?"
"Yes."
"I...can summon you again, meow? Like now, without limiting your own consciousness, let you have a fight with that guy? Maybe you can win?"
"You'd better not." The other party refused: "Summoning a stronger version of yourself from other parallel worlds like this to defeat the powerful enemy in front of you is just cheating. In the end, the real you has not become stronger.
How much, all power is borrowed from others."
"...I think so." Albert was scolded and could not refute.
"If you want to learn something, I can teach you. I'll just fight on your behalf." The other party said, "Then, I'll see you by chance (Kama)."
"That's alright." The tiger man young man sighed, and then waved his hand. His clone of the human sword master disappeared out of thin air.
After breathing for a long time, Albert was finally not so tired. He stood up and looked towards the direction of the village house.
"Back?" Seeing Albert coming back who was dripping with sweat, Mutt asked: "What kind of training have you done, and why did it take so long?"
"How long does it actually take?"
"Well, about four hours." Mutt looked at his watch and calculated the time: "The repairs in the medical cabin seem to be almost completed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the medical cabin on the side opened with a snap, and Albert's clone inside also woke up and slowly crawled out.
"I'm dead again, meow..." said the clone.
"How do you feel?" Albert asked.
"It feels like pork being grilled." Albert's clone replied.
"You are a pig." Albert said angrily.
"It's so funny, you're scolding yourself." Mutt said, covering his head.
"By the way, why doesn't Meow release the clone and send me back?" Albert's clone complained.
"By the way, do you feel pain?" Albert's true self asked.
"A little bit. The pain of the burn is still there." The clone replied: "Are you planning to let me help you bear this pain until it disappears? Selfish devil, please send me back to the original parallel world."
go!"
"Okay." The tiger man said in a long tone, and with a wave of his hand, his clone disappeared.
At the same time, Albert also felt a kind of burning pain spreading across his body. Sure enough, the pain felt by the clone would return to him intact when the clone was released. However, there was actually no pain as imagined.
, maybe some of the phantom pain from burns has gradually subsided over time. The pain is still at a tolerable level.
"You know, you should become a crosstalk actor." Mutter said, "Maybe you can make a lot of money."
"My whole body hurts, and my temper is bad." Albert rubbed his body, "It's better not to make me angry at this time."
"Do you want to take painkillers?"
"No... I'll just take a bath. A cold bath." Albert thought that the coolness brought by the cold water could offset the burning sensation.
"Isn't there just a hot pool?"
"Scoop out the hot water from the hot spring pool, isn't it just cold water?" Albert took out the water container: "Do you think the independent baths in these village houses are just decorations?"
"I help."
"No need," the water container in Albert's hand was originally a subspace bag: "This is not heavy and can hold as much water as you want. Go and do your own business. It's too late.
You don’t have to sleep, meow."
"Um……"
"Could it be that we wash them together?" Albert said jokingly.
"Idiot." The cat boy blushed and turned around, "Sleep. Are you going to challenge Hercules tomorrow?"
"Of course." The tiger man said matter-of-factly.
"Are you going to get burned again?" Mutt advised: "It's almost the appointed day, so why don't you just ask for trouble and spend a few days leisurely?"
"You know this is impossible," Albert replied.
So stubborn.
"I don't care if you like to ask for trouble. Just do whatever you want." Mutt was a little angry and strode away.
