The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 713 - 713

"Can't save them?"Shinguuji Kurono's tone was peculiar.

"Who are you talking about?"

You brat, is it really appropriate to mock in front of a professional rescue expert?

Don't think just because you've mastered the world's strongest swordsmanship that you can look down on everyone!

When it comes to saving people, her ability to manipulate time ranks second globally—no one dares claim first place!

"There's no one else here who can save people, right?"

Eiji glanced at Shinguuji Kurono.

"Hey, kid, don't get carried away just because you beat me once."

Shinguuji Kurono felt irritated, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

After all, I was formerly ranked third in the world. Even after years of retirement and neglecting training, I still possess the ability to manipulate time, recognized as the strongest in causal interference.

"You're the one getting carried away."

Eiji bluntly refuted her words.

"Among causal interference abilities, the hierarchy of strength is most apparent. Weak causal interference stands no chance against powerful causal interference!"

Just like Utakata Misogi and Amane Shinomiya.

Utakata Misogi's probability manipulation is undoubtedly cheat-like, yet he meaninglessly lost against Amane Shinomiya's fate manipulation, unable to accomplish anything.

"Didn't you realize what just happened?"

"Innumerable coincidences converged, pointing to a single outcome... Facing that kind of ability, do you dare claim your time manipulation is invincible?"

Only then did Shinguuji Kurono's expression turn serious.

Because too many things happened in an instant, she hadn't yet pondered the discrepancies.

Recalling it now, those numerous coincidences occurred with absurd frequency, one after another, thwarting every attempt she made to activate her ability.

While time manipulation is undoubtedly powerful, she remains human. And all humans share the weakness of reaction time.

Moreover, Blazers are always so extraordinary—until they truly appear, you never know what incredible powers exist in this world!

Before Sara used Fantasy Mimicry, who could confidently claim no ability existed to replicate other Blazers?

Amane Shinomiya's fate manipulation is the same.

Except Amane Shinomiya's ability is more absurd, more cheat-like, more domineering, more incredible, and more unreasonable.

"Wish fulfillment... that ability is likely truly superior to mine!"

Shinguuji Kurono's expression shifted multiple times.

Her physical skills are average—after all, she uses pistols—but she has always been supremely confident in her ability. Since awakening, she has been an elite specially cultivated by the nation and alliance.

Yet her performance just now proved that wish fulfillment surpasses her time manipulation in level!

"Sorry, I was careless!"

Shinguuji Kurono lowered her head, her expression ashamed.

A teacher actually being lectured by a student—she really has regressed.

To be immune to causal interference, one must become a demon!

Those demon existences reside outside fate, unrestrained by causality.

But unfortunately, currently all of Japan has only two demons.

One is the God of War Nangou Torajirou.

The other is Yaksha Princess Saikyo Nene.

She is not among them.

Shinguuji Kurono's expression grew inexplicably somber.

That's right, she is not a Demon.

In the past, it was widely believed that she possessed world-class talent, surpassing even her longtime rival Saikyo Nene. However, while Saikyo Nene became a Demon, she was left outside that very gate.

No, it would be more accurate to say she chose to remain before that gate.

For the sake of her family.

To prevent the existence of a Demon from bringing misfortune to her family, she hesitated before that gate, broke her promise with her best friend, directly chose to retire, returned home, got married, and had children.

Even as early as five years ago, she could have stepped into the realm of a Demon at any time.

If she were a Demon, Amane Shinomiya would hardly be a threat, and saving Touka would be as easy as lifting a finger.

"This isn't a matter of carelessness or not."

Eiji shook his head.

He didn't know the hesitation in Shinguuji Kurono's heart.

But he knew that fate interference was not something that could be resisted by mere caution.

When fate decided to intervene, no matter how careful Shinguuji Kurono was, she would never have been able to save her senior sister.

That's why he specifically stepped in.

"But what are you going to do?"

Shinguuji Kurono sighed, temporarily setting aside the slight hesitation in her heart.

"Interfering in the match without permission will get you disqualified from the competition!"

"No problem."

Eiji remained unfazed.

"They won't, and they don't dare, kick me out."

...

The match was suspended.

Sara withdrew her 'Sword God' fake painting, awaiting the committee's decision.

Her gaze was fixed intently on Eiji, the obsession in her eyes not diminishing in the slightest.

"Hey, what's going to happen?"

"Will the Sword God really be disqualified?"

"Don't let that happen! I came here just to watch his matches!"

The arena fell silent for a moment.

Meanwhile, the spectator stands were in chaos, filled with incessant noise.

On the main platform, the members of the operating committee were whispering among themselves, their expressions very serious.

"Please quiet down! We will now announce the decision of this year's Seven Star Sword Art Festival Operating Committee regarding Hagun Academy's contestant, Nangou Eiji."

"Contestant Nangou Eiji entered the match without permission. According to the rules, he should be disqualified from the competition. However, considering this is his first offense and his actions were driven by the urgency to save someone, from a humanitarian perspective, the committee has decided to issue him a warning for now. We hope he will not repeat this offense..."

"Hooray!"

"I always thought this rule was inhumane!"

"As long as we can still watch the Sword God's matches, it's fine!"

Cheers erupted from the spectator stands.

Touka breathed a sigh of relief.

Shinguuji Kurono understood immediately.

"The Alliance is trying to win me over. How would the committee dare to kick me out?"

Eiji merely sneered coldly at this outcome.

This result had been expected from the start.

If they really dared to kick him out, not only would the spectators refuse to accept it, but the Alliance headquarters would likely send someone to hold them accountable!

"As for the outcome of this match, according to the camera replay, Raikiri was at an overwhelming disadvantage at the time... Sara is declared the winner. Do either of you have any objections?"

"I have no objections."

Touka shook her head and dispersed her Spirit Gear.

"If I gave her the victory, would you agree to my request?"

At that moment, Sara suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

Her sparkling eyes were fixed directly on Eiji.

"Don't even think about it!"

But before Eiji could respond, Touka bristled like a ruffled cat and flatly rejected Sara's proposal. Clutching Eiji's arm, her face was plastered with possessive protectiveness.

"Is that so..."

Sara didn't press further.

She glanced at Eiji one more time, lingering with visible reluctance, before turning to leave the stage.
