Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 490 A Dialogue Across Time

The enormous branches that stretched out across the vast grassland began to slowly retract, like giant pythons retreating back into their caves.

The leaves fell softly, like a lush green snowfall, tracing graceful arcs in the air before dissipating into nothingness as magical specks.

The trees were getting shorter and shorter, the bark on the trunks was peeling off, revealing the tender kernels inside, and the whole thing was gradually becoming blurry.

The forest that had been summoned eventually disappeared below the horizon of the grassland.

The battle just now seemed like an illusion; the deafening roar and intense magical fluctuations gradually disappeared as the trees shrank.

Once the surrounding area had completely calmed down, only a scene of devastation remained on the grassland.

Countless limbs of omnics lay scattered across the ground, the metal fragments reflecting no light in the sunlight, only exuding a coldness. Some omnic arms were broken off by immense force, lying helplessly in the grass, while others had their heads severed, the cuts incredibly smooth, demonstrating their sharpness.

As for the two mechanical cultists, their chests were ripped open, and their cores, which served as the source of energy and life, were removed. Their empty mechanical eyes were still staring at the azure sky.

The ground was covered with traces of battle, with large craters and cracks everywhere. The once lush green grass was trampled into a mess, and in many places, yellow soil was exposed.

Not far away, there were several places emitting black smoke; those were the remains left after the omnics were destroyed.

A pungent odor filled the air, the smell of burning metal and an energy explosion, but it was quickly carried away by the wind.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness.

A gentle breeze stirred Tan Zhixin's skirt. She lightly raised her hand, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and stared blankly at the core in her hand. Was this the source of power for those guys? The beings from that world used this thing to transform their original flesh and blood bodies into completely mechanical creations.

This new body is no less powerful than the heretical demons, and in some ways, it is even more troublesome than some of them. However, despite her solemn expression, Tan Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief.

She admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but judging from the current outcome, she did indeed win the gamble. The phone call that made her and Tang Zijun extremely wary half a year ago has now played a crucial role.

It turns out everything was predetermined; the clues were buried in the corners of history. Although they took the wrong path along the way, they eventually found their way back to the right track. However,

Tan Zhixin glanced at the noble girl beside her who was carefully examining the AI ​​core, and couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

I never wanted to distort history, but in the end, things still took an unexpected turn.

Afran was also holding an exquisite core in her hand. The surface of the core had a complex skeletal structure with orderly arranged triangular holes. Through the gaps, one could see the dark blue energy center inside.

Tiny silver pipes emerge from the energy center, as precise as a three-dimensional circuit board. The intricacy of its internal structure far surpasses current technology, and one can vaguely see residual energy slowly surging within its core.

It looks like a heart that is still beating.

After staring at the object for a while, Afran casually tossed it aside, and the core landed precisely in Tan Zhixin's hand.

"You're going to recycle this, right?"

"Ah." Tan Zhixin was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently. "Mm."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Avran smiled elegantly. "My name is Avran, Avran Rosedale, and this is my partner, Pegasus Nimiao." Tan Zhixin and Xiao Qing exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat complicated.

If possible, they really don't want to have any contact with people from this timeline, especially since the other party is a foreign magical girl.

The more they talk, the greater the potential for future changes.

Tan Zhixin could only guarantee that the omnic assassination hadn't altered history, but if the girl in front of her discovered something, things could get complicated. However, Tan Zhixin vaguely felt that the girl's surname sounded familiar, as if she'd heard it somewhere before.

Faced with Tan Zhixin and Xiaoqing's silence, Afran remained remarkably calm. "There's no need to be so nervous. While time travel can easily cause damage, don't underestimate the fragility of our timeline."

"How did you know... um!" Upon hearing Afran's words, Xiaoqing blurted out instinctively, but she quickly realized her mistake and shut her mouth.

Afran smiled and shook her head.

"Even if I'm slow on the uptake, I should have realized it by now. Over the years, magical girls have only appeared on a handful of screens, let alone sisters as strong as you."

"And those strange robots. At first, I thought they were traitors who surrendered to the Outer Demons, but something felt off. Even if Outer Demons can be born from mechanical bodies, they shouldn't be this advanced."

"Now it seems that it was not modern technology, but some kind of future technology or alien product."

As she spoke, Afran looked up at Tan Zhixin again.

"Plus, your sudden question about my current time just now makes it all too obvious. Although our family lives in seclusion and has no contact with the outside world for many years, we are not ignorant of everything."

"Don't forget, Doctor Who was made in our country."

Listening to Afran's unhurried words, Tan Zhixin knew that her identity would be difficult to hide, or rather, she could no longer hide it from the moment the girl fought with those machines.

The task at hand is to minimize the impact of this matter as much as possible. "Okay, this is indeed a complicated matter... Let me introduce myself. My name is Tan Zhixin, and this is my family member, Xiaoqing."

"Hello." Little Green raised its tail and wagged it.

Seeing that Tan Zhixin had finally admitted to being a time traveler, Afran relaxed a little.

She paused, then couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys are really amazing! You can even do something like time travel." "It wasn't as easy as you think. I can't go into the details, but it certainly came at a great cost," Tan Zhixin shrugged. "Can I ask what kind of enemy you were fighting?" Afran asked, her gaze returning to the mess of parts scattered on the ground. "These guys suddenly appeared at my horse farm, and they attacked me without warning."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixin hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly. "Miss Rosedale, since you know about time travel, you should understand that I can't talk too much about the future. However, I can assure you that these guys will not appear again."

"Is that so?" Afran's eyes looked somewhat forlorn.

Actually, that wasn't what she really wanted to ask. Although these mechanical armies were troublesome, they weren't yet capable of threatening her. What she really wanted to ask was about the ancestral precepts of her family.

In the eternal night, from the sky island rising from the sea of ​​death, the calamity of the Shadow Kingdom will once again shroud the world. Only the king who pulls the sword from the stone is worthy to fight another king.

The time of the prophecy is drawing ever closer, which means that the seal on the Land of Shadows is about to be broken.

When that time comes, I will uphold the family's ancestral teachings and draw that sword at the cost of my life.

Afran couldn't be sure how the battle would end, but she hoped it would be an earth-shattering fight. If it came at the cost of her life, she wanted to make her own explosion shine even brighter.

Moreover, judging from Tan Zhixin's situation from the future, she should have won that battle, otherwise this world would have been completely swallowed by the shadows. Taking a deep breath and then slowly exhaling, Afran revealed a faint smile again.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Afran."

For some reason, Tan Zhixin suddenly felt that the girl in front of her seemed to have relaxed a lot, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden. "Since we can't talk about the future, why don't we talk about the past?" Afran said softly. "Three months ago, in the middle of the night, during a torrential downpour, I saw a towering tree slowly toppling over from across the sea. That was what you did, wasn't it?"

Tan Zhixin hesitated for a moment.

As someone who experienced the fall of the Tree Crown Royal City firsthand, Tan Zhixin naturally knew what the other person was talking about, but she wasn't sure if she could tell them about it.

Although the existence of the Flower Fairy Clan has been made public.
