Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 505 The Situation

Tang Zijun and Tang Cao tacitly avoided mentioning anything about the greedy person.

Tang Zijun truly didn't know how to explain all of this. The identity of a transmigrator was already somewhat surreal, but now she learned that she had transmigrated not into the original "Tang Zijun," but into the "victim" of the person in the mirror.

So he simply remained silent. That was fine. Let everyone think of him as a victim. After all, his body in this world was indeed that of a greedy being. The only difference was that he was using the power of greed instead of negative energy.

Tang Cao was no longer a clueless little girl. On the contrary, she was talented and very smart. She had already noticed the changes in her "brother," but the truth was even more bizarre than she had imagined.

She didn't try to ask where her real brother had gone or what he had been through, because she knew it would be useless. Right now, she and Tang Zijun could only accept everything in tacit agreement.

As the last brick was placed in its place and the last charred tree came back to life, the temple's light slowly faded.

The rotation speed of the silver vortex gradually slowed down, and the miraculous power that held up time also dissipated into nothingness.

The ruins of the battlefield seemed like a phantom from yesterday. What stood before everyone's eyes was the familiar, intact city that had never experienced the destruction of war.

Only the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air tells the story of what had just happened here.

"I'm going to send that thing to the Reverse World. As a product of another world, and since it's related to the Gods of the Epoch, there might be some hidden dangers remaining on it." Tang Zijun stared at the Temple of Time and Space, then turned to Qiu Yun and said.

"But weren't you able to activate the power of that temple just now?" Afran asked curiously.

"I only borrowed the power of the God of Time and Space, but the Temple of Time and Space isn't part of the God of Time and Space. It's a real high-tech castle, and there might be something hidden on it. The Reverse World can block signals from the wasteland and can't be spied on, so sending it there is the best option." Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Qiu Yun nodded. "Let's do it that way. I'll explain it to the director for you. This kind of technology is dangerous for us in itself."

"Indeed, the technology that can transform humans into mechanical monsters is a terrifying ability, and without a doubt, it is the enemy of us natural beings," Avran agreed.

As Tang Zijun manipulated the Time-Space Temple to sink into its reflection in the Huangpu River, she looked curiously at Afran. "I forgot to ask earlier, who are you?"

Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Tang Cao, who was fiddling with her belt, also looked up. "This is the first time I've ever seen a foreign magical girl. Are you here to help too?"

"I suppose so," Avran replied, then gave a very solemn aristocratic bow. "You can just call me Avran. This is my partner, Pegasus Nemia."

Seeing her so solemn, Tang Zijun subconsciously cupped her hands in greeting, while Tang Cao performed a princess-style bow, and Qiu Yun formed a Taoist hand seal. Only Shi Yao ignored her.

"I seem to remember you. You're the magical girl who came here publicly before, right? I recall that the bureau invited you to participate in an exchange."

"Yes, but I declined." Afran nodded, chuckling softly as she sighed. "The real reason I came here is..."

"Let me explain."

Just then, Tan Zhixin's voice came from not far away.

Everyone turned to look, and saw that everyone on the train had disembarked. Qin Nan couldn't help but pat Tang Zijun on the shoulder as soon as she came over. "Wow, you've gotten so big!"

"..." Tang Zijun's eyelids twitched, but she ignored her.

Tan Zhixin then looked at Afran, smiling as she took the exquisite badge out of her pocket. "Now it can finally be returned to its rightful owner, Afran. It's nice to see you here again."

Afran smiled and accepted the badge with both hands. "I knew we would meet again, Tan."

"You two know each other?" Xiaobai stared blankly at the scene.

"Mmm," Tan Zhixin responded, and Afran chuckled softly. "This story is probably a little secret just between Tan and me." *Crunch*

A grinding sound came from the side.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Shiyao clenching his fists tightly, gritting his teeth as he spoke each word clearly.

"You and she had a past relationship?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present changed, and Tang Zijun, who knew the inside story, could hardly suppress the upturn of her lips.

Seeing Tang Zijun's expression, Tan Zhixin pursed her lips and slapped him lightly, then turned to look at Shiyao. "You've misunderstood. There's nothing between me and Afran. Oh, I'll tell you when we get back."

Watching Tan Zhixin pull the stingray aside, Qin Nan chuckled and nudged Tang Zijun with her elbow. "Hey, you've solved such a huge problem this time, and even the God of Time and Space was taken down. Now we don't have to worry about people from the wasteland trying to assassinate us anymore, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's smile faded slightly, and she shook her head gently. "I'm afraid it's not that easy. You don't yet know the true situation of the Gods of the Epochs."

"What do you mean?" The group was taken aback, waiting for Tang Zijun's explanation.

Tang Zijun then spoke up loudly, "The Gods of the Epochs evolved from artificial intelligence created by the Wastelanders. In other words, the Gods of the Epochs are a single entity, and everything about them is interconnected; they only use different powers."

"We did thwart the God of Time's plot and eliminated him, but the Gods of the Era can easily recreate a new God of Time, one that retains the original backup of his memories."

"Huh?" Xiaobai's face stiffened. "Doesn't that mean the other party can resurrect an unlimited number of times?"

The expressions of the others also changed. A single God of Time and Space had driven them to this point; it was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if such a being could be mass-produced.

If the other side were to send several similar mechanical gods at once, even with the Wolf Riders present, the Earth would probably be flattened, right? "Creating mechanical gods is not that easy. The resources and energy required are enormous. Even the gods of the era could not mass-produce gods so quickly. This is also our opportunity."

"You wouldn't be thinking of..." Looking at Tang Zijun, Qin Nan, knowing him as she did, had already guessed his plan. Tang Zijun didn't say much, only nodded. "I'm afraid I have to go to the Wasteland again. The Gods of the Epoch have completely gone mad. I can't leave such a bomb here threatening everyone, not only for the safety of the real world, but also for the safety of the Wasteland people." "Do you know where their lair is?"

"I didn't know before, but after this encounter with the God of Time and Space, I've had some thoughts." Tang Zijun's eyes flickered, then her eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'll go with you!" Qin Nan immediately raised her hand.

"I'm going too," Tang Cao retorted, not to be outdone. "You're not getting away with leaving me behind this time!"

Seeing their incredibly excited expressions, Tang Zijun smiled and sighed, waving her hand. "I'd love to take you all with me, but I'm not going on a picnic. This time, we're facing the Gods of the Epochs. Although they aren't true gods, they're still beyond your level." Tang Zijun wasn't joking. Among all the magical girls present, only Qiu Yun, a blue-level being, had the strength to suppress an Epoch God. Even so, she wasn't confident she could defeat him.

For people like Qin Nan and Tang Cao, going there would be like offering themselves up as food.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. I am strong enough to protect myself now, and we have agents from our Bureau of the Investigative and Survival Agency in the wasteland. With their assistance and that of the other wastelanders, I won't make any mistakes."

Seeing Tang Zijun say this, the two girls could only pout and give up.

On the rooftop a kilometer away from the group, the people who had been hiding earlier relaxed.

Xiao Yue was contacting Minister Xue to report on the situation here, while Xiao Xiao used magic to fetch a glass of water for the old butler so he could take a few more blood pressure medication pills.

As for Su Siyao, she nudged Chang Lei's arm. "Hey, they're all down there, let's go over there too."

Chang Lei glanced at Tang Zijun in the distance, as well as the circle of magical girls surrounding him, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"You go if you want, I'm not going!"
