Even Saraso, who had always been at odds with Best, felt a sense of unease.
Alchemical creatures can have good or bad relationships, some hate each other, and some have even fought each other.
But in essence, they are all like brothers, the closest of partners.
Saraso and Best's relationship may seem like animosity, but it's actually like that of an "alma mater" and a "biological child."
You can say something is rubbish a thousand times and it's garbage a million times, but you can't tolerate an outsider saying a single thing.
While the previous suggestion to use a specific point to attack the whole picture certainly had an element of teasing Best, it was also an opportunity for Best to show off in front of Wu You.
"Is Best still there?" Morian, unusually, didn't immediately start watching the show, but instead asked about her friend.
Wu You was currently searching within the system to see if he could find any information about Best.
He quickly found Best the Night Owl among the many alchemical creatures' names.
Upon realizing he hadn't been removed from the list, he initially breathed a sigh of relief, but soon noticed something was off about his behavior.
Best's name appeared and disappeared intermittently, sometimes similar to the names of other alchemical creatures, sometimes in a ethereal state, or sometimes suddenly vanishing for a while.
I tried using the observation mode that I hadn't used in a long time, but I just couldn't get into it.
This is a bit confusing. This has never happened before. Is it dead or alive?
"I don't know if Best is still around; it seems like it's still uncertain?"
"Even the Lord can't sense Best?"
It was Mordiris who asked the question.
Wu You glanced at it; it seemed the bond between them was deeper than he had imagined.
"Don't worry, everyone. At least I can confirm that Best may not be dead, but his situation is a bit delicate."
"us..."
Wu You suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence and immediately stood up from the ground, causing two of the three goddesses next to him to fall down unexpectedly.
Almost instinctively, Wu You unleashed his full willpower, and the numerous planets that had been anchored to him so far became the foundation connecting the tip of his will.
"Buzz~~~Bang~~~~~~~"
The entire private world of the crystal wall system was instantly plunged into a state of desolation, and even the Earth and solar system on which this space was based were in the same state.
The intense blend of spirit and will manifested in a state that almost altered the material nature of everything within its reach.
...
"Rumble~~"
Within a fraction of a second, dark clouds gathered over the skies across the globe, churning and thunder rumbling.
"Click click click~~"
The light from the lightning was eerie, as if it never dimmed once it appeared, and as lightning flashed one after another, the brightness of the entire world continued to increase.
A white chaos filled the entire solar system and vast areas beyond, making it impossible for any living thing to see anything, but in the next instant, it was like a hallucination.
...
Couples strolling hand in hand on the street seem to lean as they walk, much like an exaggerated pulse advertisement.
My head felt half-dizzy and half-clear. Looking at the vertical shop doors and the twisted streets, I felt a strange mix of unease and a sense of it all being perfectly natural.
An office worker is thinking about a plan, twirling a pen in his hand.
When I stared at the pen, I felt that the pen wasn't spinning but my hand was spinning at high speed. Upon closer inspection, I realized that neither my hand nor the pen was spinning, but I could feel a friction sensation at my fingertips. However, I didn't have any strange thoughts; it all seemed perfectly normal.
Inside the Fifth Special Operations Division's branch, Li Liwen and He Zhongze were playing Chinese chess. The pieces on the chessboard seemed to change from generals to knights at different times. Li Liwen used a knight jump to move all his pawns across the river, and the chessboard returned to normal in the next instant.
The strange occurrence didn't attract the attention of either player. He Zhongze scratched his head and said, "Why are all your pawns in this spot? Strange..."
However, they did not suspect Li Liwen of cheating at all, because neither of them was distracted throughout the game and they were watching each other's moves. Li Liwen was definitely "following the rules".
...
These bizarre events continued unabated. Wu You's will was like a raging torrent of scorching heat and icy cold, washing over everything in the solar system and plunging the entire solar system into chaos.
All living beings seemed unaware of this strangeness, or perhaps they were completely assimilated by the distortion of will.
The only thing I could sense was the high-level alchemical creatures.
The roars and screams of beasts filled every corner; they knew it was their master, but they didn't know what was happening.
Back in college, Wu You had read a speculative article that explored whether the mind could interfere with spacetime and matter. Now, Wu You could tell the author quite directly, "Yes!"
What caused Wu You to suddenly fall into this seemingly large-scale twisted and frenzied state?
It was a strange feeling, a kind of panic that Wu You hadn't felt for many years.
It was like a wave, or an invisible light, like a gravitational pull, or like a tide.
But Wu You reacted just before "it" got close, as if it were a premonition from his intuition, and reacted in advance.
At the same time, I have deep doubts about what it is, with a 60% chance of guessing but not quite sure.
This current state of mind naturally carries a burden, but although it appears to be very powerful, it does not actually deplete one's willpower; in fact, it is easier than time travel.
Although I was drenched in sweat, I was mostly terrified.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Wu You dissipated from his state of full mental focus, and everything in the solar system returned to normal.
But it also left a trace.
For example, on some people's shoes, one side of the sole is worn down more than the other, or like a misaligned chessboard.
"Phew~~"
Wu You let out a long sigh of relief, but the three goddesses beside him could still hear their lord's rapid heartbeat, which was definitely not normal.
"You must be wondering why I did that just now?"
Wu You's expression was more solemn than ever before. He couldn't remember the last time he was in this state; perhaps it was because of his father's medical expenses, or perhaps it was before the college entrance examination...
"Although it's rather rough, I just felt a gaze upon me..."
"Approach the line of sight I observe with my will!"
At that moment, Wu You had no other thoughts; he had only one thought in his mind.
'Hide the Earth!'
The overwhelming will blurred normal spacetime in an instant, and countless psionic spirits exerted their existential power at the same time, causing the entire solar system to disappear without a trace in the Milky Way.
This is not just invisibility, it can even be said that it erases existence, forcibly concealing itself even at the level of the operation of time.
Wu You dared not gamble on whether this suspected vision could penetrate the timeline like he could.
Although this requires offerings and fixed vision of a space, which cannot be seen by ordinary scanning, what I can do may not be impossible for others.
However, now that I've come to my senses, I realize that the strange fluctuation wasn't as subtle as I had imagined.
Even so, it really scared Wu You half to death; he had never considered this situation before.
Why did they have to come at this exact moment? Even a fool would know it's related to what I just did.
'What can be changed is the events of that specific time period; is it possible to trace the source back to my side?'
'Best, what happened?'
Looking at the names in the system, which were still flickering and disappearing, Wu You, now calm, seemed lost in thought.
