The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 615 - 615

The setting sun cast its glow westward.The mansion stood tall amidst the evening clouds, with weeds in the courtyard swaying gently in the dusk breeze. The entire estate was bathed in a serene, distant hue.

In a guest room on the second floor, the pure white True Ancestor princess lay on the bed.

Her golden short hair rested smoothly against the pillow, her delicate nose and mouth emitting even breaths. The rise and fall of her chest made her already prominent curves even more striking.

At one moment, like a machine resuming operation, she abruptly opened her crimson eyes.

Her gaze was sharp at first, then quickly turned confused.

Memories before fainting remained vivid in her mind. She intended to immediately rise and face the enemy, yet found herself in an unfamiliar room instead.

She glanced at the setting sun outside the window, her beautiful brows furrowing in a stunning manner.

She remembered the fight occurred around seven in the morning, and now it was at least past six in the evening—meaning she had been unconscious for at least ten hours.

"Mmm..."

As she tried to get up, she suddenly clutched her chest.

Weakness flooded her entire body, making her feel as if severely ill. It was difficult to gather strength throughout her body, especially at the spot on her chest where she had been struck earlier—she could still feel intense pain there.

"Oh, you're awake?"

Suddenly, without even a knock, a figure opened the door and walked in.

It was a very familiar human.

After all, they had just fought this morning, and she surprisingly hadn't gained the upper hand. His strength and appearance had left a deep impression on her.

Although he was a human she found pleasing to look at, she showed no signs of becoming infatuated. Instead, she warily sat up, adopting a defensive stance.

Just this small movement made her breathe lightly.

"Truly a True Ancestor. You were lying stiff as a corpse this morning, and now you can already get up?Seeing her defensive stance, Eiji didn't enter the room but leaned against the doorframe instead.

"Don't worry, there are no enemies here. That bandaged man isn't around."

Arcueid still didn't lower her guard, her gaze fixed intently on Eiji.

Her expression clearly said, "What about you?"

"If I wanted to do something to you, would I have let you lie comfortably in bed?Eiji gave her a subtle look.

Arcueid remained silent for a moment, gradually relaxing her vigilance.

Indeed.

If this person truly intended to harm her, she should have woken up on a cross.

The fact that she woke up in bed meant this person at least held no hostility toward her.

She suddenly remembered.

Before fainting, when she was nearly captured by that enemy, the figure that had blocked her path.

That figure perfectly overlapped with the young man before her.

Her heart fluttered slightly, for no apparent reason.

"Who are you?"

She parted her cherry lips, looking at Eiji with curious eyes.

Hostility completely vanished from her, replaced by eyes overflowing with purity, like a princess who had never experienced the world.

"Me? I'm Eiji."

Eiji nodded with a smile.

"Eiji... Hmm, I'll remember this name!"

She murmured softly for a moment, then broke into a radiant smile.

"My name is Arcueid. Just call me by my name!"

"You switch moods pretty quickly."

Eiji looked at her in surprise.

Just ten seconds ago she had been full of hostility, yet now she instantly transformed into a naive sweetheart.

"Aren't we enemies?"

Arcueid looked at him with confusion.

"Indeed we're not."

"Then what's strange about changing attitudes?"

Arcueid wore an expression that said "you're the weird one."

"No, normally there's a process when shifting from wariness to friendliness, right?"

Eiji clicked his tongue. How did this become about me being strange?

"That's how humans do things. It's terribly inefficient. I don't like that dragging, dawdling approach."

Arcueid shook her head.

Though she said she disliked it, her face showed no particular distaste.

"Efficiency, huh."

Finally understanding, Eiji looked meaningfully at Arcueid.

Indeed, given her origins, pursuing efficiency could be considered inevitable.

"What's going on, Eiji? Is she awake?"

While they were talking, a third voice came from outside the room.

Aoko poked her head through the doorway, immediately spotting the awakened Arcueid on the bed. Her expression quickly turned guarded.

"You are... Blue?"

Noticing her appearance, Arcueid froze momentarily before widening her eyes in astonishment.

Despite being the last remaining True Ancestor, when she saw Aoko, she seemed to be looking at a monster.

"Blue? What Blue?"

Aoko was completely baffled.

"Hmm... You resemble Blue, but there are slight differences. Blue should be in her thirties by now. While maintaining youth isn't particularly difficult, being young to the point of appearing in your teens doesn't match the rumors."

Instead of answering Aoko's question, Arcueid continued muttering to herself.

"Hey! Who are you calling thirty-something!"

A vein bulged on Aoko's forehead.

If she weren't outmatched, she would have blasted her already!

Damn it, when will I truly master magic?

"However, if it is Blue, creating this Singularity wouldn't be impossible. According to records, the Fifth Magic is a miracle that interferes with time, causing fluctuations in spacetime. Driving a stake into human history would be reasonable, though this would have significant impact on human history..."

Arcueid continued her soliloquy.

She seemed to be practicing her knowledge, gradually deducing her own conclusions.

"Wait, you know this is a Singularity?"

Eiji was the one shocked now.

"Huh? Of course I know!"

Arcueid stopped her muttering and spoke with complete certainty.

"I detected it the moment I entered! That's why I've been searching for whoever created this Singularity!"

"Aoko, I think as a magic user, you need to reflect. The True Ancestor figured it out immediately!"

"So I'm incompetent! Got any complaints?!"

Aoko shouted angrily at Eiji.

What could she possibly do?

She hadn't even begun to grasp magic yet—at best, she was just a half-baked magician.

Theoretically speaking, Magicians hold an extremely high status—even the Counter Force cannot control them. But because she was too inexperienced, she was effortlessly integrated into this worldline without noticing any abnormalities.

It wasn't until she actually used magic once and attained her form from ten years later that she successfully awakened.

Then she forgot how to use magic again.

What an embarrassment to Magicians!

"True Ancestors are the senses of nature, backed by the support of the Counter Force. Their instantaneous awakening is perfectly normal."

Alice's voice reached the ears of the three.

"I see!"

Aoko clapped her hands in sudden realization.

So it's not that I'm incompetent—it's that True Ancestors inherently have special privileges!

Understood this way, everything suddenly made sense!
