Chapter 117 World K: The End. In the end, it's Nadia who's doing well with...

In the end, Nadia apologized to them properly before Nadia and Reena forgave her.

After all, even though it's a chick, it's still someone you know! Don't really treat it like a chick.

The chicks found a place to settle them, and Ethan gave little Ethan a few kernels of corn.

Little Ethan poked at the corn kernels: "What are you giving me? I'm not a chick, I don't eat raw corn."

"Idiot!" Ethan tapped his finger lightly, a little annoyed. "This isn't corn! It's the collection of books belonging to Lord Starfall of our world! We're chicks, of course we can't use normal paper and books to record things. It's shaped like corn kernels for better storage!"

"Aren't you sure you're not mistaken?" Little Ethan scratched his head sheepishly. "What if he accidentally swallowed it..."

“No, you can’t eat them,” Ethan explained. “These are all magical; the chicks can’t peck at them. If you use magic to probe inside, the knowledge will automatically appear in your mind. These books are about time; see if you can find a way here to help you turn back sooner.”

After both sides exchanged information, it was natural that the chicks were also told that the child's current appearance was actually due to time being reversed in order to break free from someone else's control.

Besides Ethan, Yaroslava also enthusiastically went through his family's collection of books on the city's will.

After discovering that Yaroslava's ability was time-related, her city will quickly collected or exchanged some books on the subject with other wills to help her control and learn how to maximize the effectiveness of this power.

This made things easier for her in the current situation, and she actually managed to find a way out. Together with several other rare mage guardians from various countries, they finally broke the city's will, Yaroslava's, power, restoring the three of them to their original ages.

Fortunately, she didn't use too much force.

"Don't tell Reina, understand?" Nadia was clutching the collar of Tenas's coat with both hands, her mind replaying the series of actions she had taken as she shrank. Her face grew increasingly grim, and she tightened her grip: "If you dare tell anyone, you're dead."

"Of course, of course, Nadia, sister, let's talk this out, please let me go." Tenas was sweating profusely, feeling helpless in the face of Nadia's overwhelming shame. He gently tried to persuade her to let it go: "It's okay, we're all like this. It's normal for our bodies to revert to children's bodies and our minds to revert to children's minds..."

He was just biting people in a fit of anger, and he was crying while he was biting them. Neither he nor Ethan have said anything yet.

Ethan, meanwhile, had been squatting in the corner for half an hour, feeling depressed.

What did he do...?

How embarrassing! Ethan covered his face, unwilling to accept the reality, and tried to wait in a dark corner until mushrooms grew all over his body.

“Although I don’t know what happened when you shrank,” Ethan gently patted Ethan with his wing, “pat it, it’s all in the past.”

Looking at Ethan, who was comforting himself, Ethan had an inappropriate and very offensive thought, which he hurriedly suppressed.

That's incredibly rude! It's disrespectful to your peers.

But... the chick counterparts are so cute! They're tiny, you can fit several in one hand, and their feathers are so soft and fluffy. They even comforted him.

Stop, stop, Ethan Nix, this really won't do!

No way! You'd definitely get angry if I said that.

After all, it feels like this doesn't treat the siblings as equals... But the chicks are so cute...

"Don't be sad," Ethan said. "I'll take you to look through Lord Starfall's library again. Perhaps due to differences in the world, some books are different, and there might be some you don't know about. Would you like to take a look?"

Although Ethan wanted to say that he had been a guardian for several years and went to the Starfall Library in his own world to read books every day, he still hadn't finished reading them all, so he didn't know if they were books that weren't available in that world, but he still went anyway.

Then Ethan hunched over and squeezed his way into the 'library' of this world, which was like a corn kernel exhibition, with golden corn kernels everywhere you looked.

"By the way, do you have any..." Ethan rattled off a series of book titles: "Are there any you don't have? If not, I'll find them for you."

Upon hearing this, Ethan discovered that there were indeed some books he hadn't heard of before, and he pointed them all out. Ethan then brought him some corn kernels—in a container, of course.

Looking at Ethan, who was probably less than five centimeters tall, Ethan suddenly had a thought: "Speaking of which, how do you usually do divination? Do you use tarot?"

“Of course not, we don’t use paper or anything like that much.” Ethan tossed him something: “I’ll use this.”

It's a square...corn? And it has Arabic numerals carved on it.

Perhaps it's something like those books, something that won't be ingested, like corn. Ethan suddenly realized.

"I'll flip a coin, you roll the dice."

"Yes, it can be eaten as a food reserve if necessary."

"...?"

So it's made from edible corn?!

While they were each doing their own thing, the other guardians were packing up, because the guardians of this world also wanted to embark on the journey through time and space together, thinking that more guardians meant more power, and that collecting power would make it more likely that their world would be restored.

We're just waiting for Ethan and his group. Who knows if there will be any unexpected events or if it will take longer than expected?

While Ethan was reading, Ethan wasn't idle either.

Just in case, he prepared a great deal of medicinal herbs and potions, some small gadgets made by meteorites that might play a role at crucial moments, a ton of precious materials, and a corn-shaped piece of gold that is generally used in every world.

After Ethan finished tidying up, Ethan and Ethan, one big and one small, stood in the empty room, unusually silent.

Ethan asked him, "Aren't we moving a little too much?"

Although what he packed before the trip wasn't much better than this.

Ethan glanced at Ethan, then at the room, which was now visibly emptier than before, and said firmly without any guilt, "I believe Lord Starfall will understand us!"

If nothing unexpected happens, it usually will, since it's all about restoring everyone's time to normal.

"But isn't this spacetime now?!" Ethan looked at the empty room and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"But isn't it too far out now...?"

"But now is it not..."

"but……"

The echo from the room made the already silent atmosphere even more tense.

Ethan was silent for a while: "Okay, forget it, forget I said anything."

Ethan didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind. Although isotopes have many similarities, they also have differences. It's impossible for every isotope to be exactly the same, and their personalities will vary to some extent.

So, Ethan must have touched a nerve with Ethan. He was a little nicer to Ethan than he usually was, since Ethan didn't like to bother others. Ethan thought it wasn't good to have everything emptied out, but Ethan didn't think so.

As Lord Starfall once said, in order to achieve one's goals, the costs incurred in the early stages are inevitable. Once one has painstakingly reaped the fruits of victory, the sweet fruits will soothe the pain caused by the losses incurred in achieving victory.

For Ethan, as long as he can restore his world to normal and regain everyone's city spirit, he will pay any price, even if it means sacrificing everything, including his life.

Ethan felt that Ethan probably thought the same way, but the two had some differences in personality. He didn't understand Ethan's personality, which was shaped by his environment and made him unwilling to trouble others.

From the time he became conscious, he was raised by his mother, Selene. By chance, he became the guardian of the Starfall, but he didn't dare tell his mother, for fear of worrying her.

Although he had no father, his mother raised him well, and he was just an ordinary little chick. Apart from having a job as a guardian and the identity of a magician, he was no different from other chicks.

He has a loving mother, friendly colleagues, and friends. He's just an oddball in Starfall City, but why should he care about what other chicks think?

He lives his life, not anyone else's. No one is allowed to criticize him. If you dare call him a weirdo, he'll peck you!

Looking at the strange Ethan, Ethan patted him on the shoulder: "Although it seems like you're not having a very pleasant time in the human world, you don't have to think like that. When others ask you for help, they don't care whether it's a favor or not."

People, don't be shy. If the world weren't kind to people, people wouldn't need to be so kind to everyone. It's about giving in return!

Ethan looked at the chick Ethan and was somewhat moved.

Hello, little chick! The little chick comforts people.

Cough cough, no, he meant that the isotope is good! The isotope comforted him.

To be honest, the longer Ethan spent with Ethan, the more he wanted to raise a chick that looked exactly like its counterpart. How could there be such a wonderful chick?

If I say it, this harmonious atmosphere will definitely be ruined...

Ethan feigned emotion, picked up Ethan, pressed his face against the chick's head, and gently rubbed it: "Thank you, I will."

Never mind, I'll just take a drag first.

-----------------------

Author's note: Congratulations to the three of them for turning back! (*'▽'*)?

Speaking of which, when I wrote this, I could clearly feel that Ethan's personality was different from the beginning. After becoming a Guardian for several years and seeing different worlds and different people on his journey, his personality really changed slowly.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Ethan long after everything is over. He'll be the kind of person who, although he looks the same, has become very mature and gentle, and his smile is just like Selene's.
