After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 536 - 211 The Important...Person_2

Xi Mu did not explain but instead changed the subject:

"If it weren’t for the Time Witch, I would have many regrets; this makes me reluctant to kill her."

"..."

Letixia slightly widened her eyes, as she had a certain degree of understanding of the Time Witch, who not only allowed her to retain memories about the future but also gave the world a chance to defeat Ragnarok.

Xi Mu took a sip of milk, then offered an explanation, "After I became the King of Ash, I began to gradually understand the God of Omniscience’s stance, as well as why He forbade time travel. This power can disturb the past, leading to an overturned future, preventing people who should have been born from coming into existence, and causing tragedies that never should have happened."

He explained to the puzzled Letixia.

"It is very unfair to those who should have been born, or to those who should not have experienced tragedy, and time travel also easily leads to imperfections and errors in the laws."

After standing at a level equal to that of the God of Omniscience, he found the Time Witch herself to be quite troublesome. The Time Witch could overturn the old past through time travel and create a future she desired.

But what that future should look like, and whether it would contradict the existing laws, was something he could not confirm.

Therefore, dealing directly with the Time Witch was the easiest solution.

"Can’t we establish laws that forbid time travel?" Letixia asked, after which she saw Ahtal shake his head, gesturing towards the sky.

"The God of Omniscience has already established relevant laws, but they don’t impose much restraint on the Time Witch."

"..."

Shark Girl Kaschte’s tail curled slightly; she seemed to have heard some incredibly important news, but she only heard what was said to Letixia and couldn’t understand the substance of it.

Wait... come to think of it, why can Letixia see Ahtal, excluding the reason that Ahtal is willing?

Shark Girl Kaschte’s gaze fell on the Sword of Light hanging at Letixia’s waist, guessing a possibility, but she was unable to verify it.

She was very self-aware, definitely not what one would call a good person; on the contrary, she was quite... bad. She would kill without hesitation, without any guilt, even if she wiped out an entire country, she would not feel any moral condemnation.

She was not at all suitable for wielding the Sword of Light.

"Of course, simply dealing with the Time Witch wouldn’t fundamentally solve the problem," Xi Mu’s tone suddenly shifted, "I will think of another way to resolve issues with the laws of time."

He smiled as he met Letixia’s gaze.

"For example, established history could be immutable, and even if one returns to the past, it would only create a new timeline, branching into different futures. This would largely avoid problems caused by the Time Witch."

This is why the God of Omniscience says that laws must be carefully considered and perfected; otherwise, hastily seizing control of the world and establishing immature laws could cause many problems and lead to flaws in one’s own laws.

Of course, establishing the laws for diverging futures that he mentioned would greatly increase both the workload and the need for perfection in the laws. Ordinary omnipotent beings simply couldn’t maintain the perfection of laws while diversifying timelines.

However.

After listening, Letixia’s main concern was not about establishing world laws but about Ahtal’s intention to establish new laws.

"Ahtal, are you planning to create a new world?"

From what Ahtal had said earlier, she drew two very important pieces of information: Ahtal intended to create a new world, which meant that he did not plan to die; secondly, Ahtal might not need to kill everyone to create a new world, otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically mentioned needing to kill the Time Witch.

Because in the King of Ash’s process of world creation, everything from the old world would have to be burned into ash.

"Just a thought after reaching the corresponding heights," Xi Mu did not admit to planning to create a new world, his fingers caressing the edge of the cup, "Right now, if I created a new world, it would turn everyone to ashes."

After becoming the King of Ash and then considering the models of the world, he realized the workload was not light. Unless he created a single-threaded world view, if he wanted to create a multi-threaded world view, it would prove to be very troublesome. It required not only developing his own powers to a certain height but also establishing more complex laws.

Of course, this wasn’t without its benefits. After completing the creation of a multi-threaded world view, his own power would also expand accordingly.

Different from the power of the singular God of Omniscience.

"May I sit here?" came a gentle yet sly female voice, enlivening the heavy atmosphere of the bakery.

Letixia instinctively turned her head to see the Goddess of Plague who had appeared beside her, then shifted her gaze onto Ahtal.

Their eyes met, converging into one line.

"Goddess of Plague, what brings you here?" Xi Mu took a sip of milk, only to see the Goddess of Plague smiling warmly, holding up a bag filled with bread.

"It took you so long just to buy bread, I had to come myself."

"Sorry." Xi Mu apologized insincerely, "The rain trapped me here; I couldn’t leave."

"Is it the rain that’s trapped you, or is it her?" The Goddess of Plague said with a faint smile, as her eyes fell on Letixia’s delicately pretty face.

Xi Mu didn’t pick up on the cue, instead he introduced, "She is the Goddess of Plague, you can also call her Xiyel."

The Goddess of Plague placed a bag of bread on the table, then reached out her slender hand toward Letixia, "Miss Letixia, I suppose this is our first meeting."

"Actually, I’ve seen you at the duel field." Letixia lightly pursed her lips, maintaining her composure as she shook hands with the Goddess of Plague.

"That’s really quite a coincidence." The Goddess of Plague smiled, then picked up the bag of bread from the table and lifted it slightly, "Shall we eat together? We can go back and take our time."

Letixia didn’t answer right away; her gaze fell on Ahtal, as if she was seeking his opinion.

"Then let’s go back together." Xi Mu looked out the window at the falling rain, returning to the Lakefront Mansion with the three of them.

Shark Girl Kaschte carried her serrated greatsword over her shoulder, looking ahead at the two umbrellas a body’s length ahead, guessing that Ahtal might be in between the two people, but she couldn’t see Ahtal’s actual presence.

This feeling was quite wondrous—knowing that someone was there cognitively, yet all her senses were telling her that there was no one there.

"Why not use an umbrella?" A familiar voice suddenly reached her ears; the falling drizzle was then blocked as she reflexively turned her head, barely making out a blurry figure beside her, holding an umbrella over her.

"I quite like the rain; it’s a... preference of shark people." She explained softly, then saw the blurry figure beside her nod and quickly catch up to Letixia and the Goddess of Plague.

Raindrops fell on her again.

Shark Girl Kaschte: "..."

Actually, she wouldn’t mind not getting rained on; she didn’t mind at all if Lord Ahtal would help shield her from the rain—quite the contrary, she was rather looking forward to it.

After a while,

Lakefront Mansion.

The door was pushed open.

"You’re back?" The Pestilence Witch yawned, walking over wearing doll shoes to greet them, and then her expression became slightly stiff as she saw the two unexpected guests at the door.

She first ignored the rain-soaked Shark Girl, even though the latter possessed a certain degree of Witch’s power, she was insignificant to her.

Mere fodder that could be disposed of with a flick of the wrist.

But that weaker golden-haired girl deserved her attention because that young lady was keeping an extraordinarily close distance to Ahtal.

Unlike the rain-drenched Shark Girl behind.

"This lady is Miss Letixia." The Goddess of Plague handed the bread-filled bag to the Pestilence Witch, while explaining:

"She is a very important... person."

"An important person?" The Pestilence Witch seemed to sense the implication. If going by normal procedures, simply saying ’guest’ or ’friend’ would be understandable, but the Goddess of Plague directly said ’an important person’.
