Chapter 001 Chapter 1
Tarona, a pure human with a max magical talent, is a contemporary witch. She is currently a B-rank officer in the Abnormal Suppression Department of the Space-Time Balance Bureau, responsible for going to various mission worlds to eliminate abnormalities that should not exist.
The world calls officers like her "right ones."
The Time and Space Balance Bureau has made a detailed classification for all worlds that are prone to abnormalities. Among them, there are three types of worlds that are most popular with abnormalities in the past few hundred years:
A variety of British and American, martial arts and comics.
And Tarona is the resident officer of the Anglo-American world.
To what extent do you stay here?
With her eyes closed, she can tell all the love, hate and vengeance between superheroes and super villains. If you have any doubts about the details, you can ask her. She can answer more than 90% of the detailed questions and give the correct answers.
They say practice makes perfect, and this is true. After becoming more and more proficient in finding anomalies, Tarona felt bored, so she started to make things happen.
However, too much manipulation will always lead to failure.
As a contemporary witch and a new-era immortal, Tarona, who cannot bear any loss, had a passionate duel with the goddess of vengeance who was accidentally resurrected and intended to take over her body during a mission.
The result of the sniping match was very encouraging. The Goddess of Vengeance, who had just been resurrected and whose strength had not yet fully recovered, was no match for the Great Witch who held many good cards. After failing in the sniping match, She once again fell into deathly silence.
but--
Because the external force released by Tarona during his passionate confrontation with the Goddess of Vengeance was too strong, the multiverse of the mission world was affected and the stability of the world began to tilt.
Tarona: ...
Tarona:!!!
SOS! Call headquarters!
The Space-Time Balance Bureau, which was called upon by its own officers to kill a series of people, handled the matter properly, but as the creator of the incident, Tarona also paid a painful price.
She gave out one seventh of her small treasury that she had saved for more than a thousand years to convert energy to strengthen the stability of the mission world. In comparison, the 80,000-word review and the tentative promotion of the rating seemed so insignificant.
Tarona: Ah, what a painful realization QAQ
The big witch who lost her small treasury was emo for a long time. In order to restore her small treasury to its original roundness and thickness as soon as possible, she cheered up again and prepared to work hard.
But the vengeful goddess who caused her to lose her small stash of money was so abominable that she couldn't bear to look at the Marvel Universe for a while, so she just took a mission in the DC Universe.
Because she was in such a low mood at the time, she was a little deaf and did not hear the specific content of the mission clearly. It was not until she arrived at the mission world that she found that the target of this mission was not an anomaly, but the most difficult to find anomaly.
Tarona: ...
She suddenly became more emo.
What kind of human suffering is this?
Finding mutants was difficult in the first place, and she was in a very sad mood now. She had originally wanted to earn more money to restore her cute little piggy bank, but now she was here? It was simply difficult on top of difficult.
Why didn't she take a good look at the content when she accepted the task?
[Do you regret it?] Theseus, the exclusive system of Tarona, asked slowly. From the sound of him, it seemed that he was drinking afternoon tea. [I reminded you.]
Tarona squatted on the rotten tail building with air leaking from all sides, staring at the brightly lit city in the distance and the towering Wayne Tower with dead eyes: [Your comfort is always so unique, thank you so much. ]
Theseus accepted her compliment with dignity: [You're wee.]
The witch rolled her eyes at the standard, elegant and pleasant British accent. Her system partner never knew how to read the air and always managed to accurately rub salt into her wounds.
What's even more infuriating is that she and he have been partners for many years and they know each other very well. Apart from being easily irritated, they have a very good understanding of each other, to the point where they know what the other is going to do without even looking at each other.
Tarona frowned and opened the department's internal forum, trying to find some useful experience on the forum.
The targets that the Anti-Alien Division has to face are divided into two categories. One is the mutants that have been fused by the core fragments of the world, and the other is various anomalies that should not appear in this world.
The former is unstable and uncertain, and the mutants that merge with anything in the mission world have super-standard power, which can cause both good and bad consequences, so the solution given by the Space-Time Balance Bureau is to recycle them as soon as possible.
However, since the world core fragments themselves have extremely strong shielding properties, even the world consciousness of the mission world cannot detect their existence. The officers mostly rely on patience and luck to find the Anomalies. Therefore, the difficulty of recovering the Anomalies always fluctuates between hell level and free level.
The latter are creatures or objects from another world, and have the power to disrupt the stability of the world and exceed the existing system of the mission world. They are collectively referred to as anomalies.
Some anomalies can be negotiated. If the negative impact is within a controlable range, and the world consciousness indicates that they can be waived after the repair is completed, then the personnel will send them back to their original world.
But some anomalies cannot. They accidentally came to another world, and after feeling that this environment is completely different from the world they live in, they chose to disrupt and destroy the stability and peace of that world.
Such anomalies must be stopped immediately. If necessary and negotiation is not possible, officers can directly eliminate them on the spot.
Because the anomalies come from another world, they will bring with them a chaotic tearing force before they descend into the mission world. This force often comes from the time and space gap between the worlds, which will seriously interfere with the detection of the world's consciousness, so that it can only determine an approximate range at most. By the time this force dissipates, the anomaly has already set off a huge wave in the world.
This power can interfere with the detection of world consciousness, but cannot interfere with the operators who are also outsiders.
Tarona used to specialize in dealing with anomalies. Finding anomalies requires skills, brains, and luck, which is indeed in her blind spot.
"That's too much trouble."
She wants to strike.
Theseus said at the right time: [Excuse me, if you accept the task but don't do it, you will have to pay a fine.]
Tarona: ...
Never mind, she could still fight back.
After watching for most of the night, she finally realized something. In fact, all mutants have one thing in common. They are more or less related to important people in the current world.
Maybe the connection is tortuous, but the final destination will always be connected with important people.
In response to this, Tarona had a bold idea.
At noon the next day, she accosted Bruce Wayne at the gate of the Wayne Group and successfully penetrated the Bat Family with an eighth-level injury assessment.
Theseus: ...
He knew that every Wayne could not escape the unfortunate fate of being scammed by his partner.
Facing Batman's secret inspection, Tarona was not afraid at all.
Although she is not easily injured, the serious injuries she suffered in the sniper battle with the Goddess of Vengeance more than 20 years ago have not yet fully healed. If this is shown to Batman, her eighth-level disability assessment would be the lightest.
After staying in an environment surrounded by bats for a week, Tarona clearly developed a very subtle perception. She could vaguely sense the existence of mutants.
But this is not enough.
So she launched an attack on the Bat Family and the Justice League, and this perception became stronger as she came into contact with more and more important people.
When she finally saw the last member of the Bat-Family, the charming two-hundred-pound red barrel, she accurately sensed the Altered Thing.
It's a potted plant in Jason Todd's safe house.
She also has a poetic name, Vivian.
Tarona:...Fuck!
She immediately sat up in shock from her dying state, no longer looking disabled even by Kryptonian technology, and rushed forward at full speed, with several bats following her.
Tarona accurately found the safe house of Red Hood that was unknown to the Bat Family. She picked up the mutated potted plant with one hand, turned around and used a magic to freeze Superman who came to support her in mid-air. She flicked her wrist and released an isolation barrier to cover herself. She smiled everyone apologetically to Jason Todd, who was so angry that he even pulled out his gun: "I'm sorry, dear Jay, I will return the potted plant. Bye!"
Before he finished speaking, Theseus, who was on the outside of the world, activated the teleportation array. Batman missed it, and only two cute USB flash drives were left there.
One contains information about the heavyweight villains that the Justice League will encounter in the future, and the other is a weapon to help the Bat Family promote their relationship.
Well, there are many videos and audio recordings in there that were secretly filmed and recorded by Tarona, and many copies have been sent to the Bat-Family members who are unable to speak.
The mission was successfully completed, and Tarona reported her discovery to the headquarters, who rewarded her with double the bonus. This made the big witch, who had lost her small treasury, happy for several days, and her enthusiasm for work was rekindled.
Help me up, I can still work!
After kindly comforting his friend who was heartbroken because of his thin-skinnedness, Tarona went to the mission area humming a little tune to receive a series of missions about anomalies, and then turned around to go to the vest card pool.
She didn't use vest cards before, mainly because when she first started doing missions, there were no fashionable props like vest cards. Later, when they were available, she had already gotten used to entering the mission world in her true form.
In the previous world, she was lying there with nothing to do, so she gave herself a full body magic check.
The injury he received during the sniper duel with the Goddess of Vengeance was soul damage, which can only be healed slowly and cannot be healed in a hurry. Therefore, after more than 20 years of healing, nearly 20% of the damage has not been healed.
This time she received a series of missions, the level of which fluctuated around A level. The minister suggested that she use a vest card to avoid the same unexpected situation from happening again.
"At worst, the vest card can be used as a one-time absolute defense. If you suffer soul damage again, you will have to stop working and recuperate."
The first rule of the officer code is that the officer’s life safety takes precedence over the mission.
Tarona felt that the minister was right. Besides, she was also curious about the vest card.
The vest card pool of the Bureau of Time and Space Balance is divided into two categories. One category is those that borrow from prototypes, such as developing various reasonable and imaginative if lines based on the original characters; the other category is purely original and semi-original. The former is the setting that the developer came up with from beginning to end, while the latter is partially borrowed from the abilities of certain races and individuals.
The vest card pool that Tarona went to was the second type, and the second type of vest card was more convenient for her to operate.
The goddess of fate is always so careless. Tarona made ten consecutive draws, a total of one hundred draws, but only got two SRs and one SSR, and the series of quests she accepted had nine worlds.
The Great Witch wiped her face and comforted herself that this was good enough, at least it was better than the luck of Dajing next door.
Sang Ryu-kyung: ...
Are you polite?
Tarona took a look at the three freshly-made vest cards and decided to stop for the time being and try again with a ten-draw after she returned from the first mission world.
Maybe then my luck will improve.
Three vest cards, how to choose?
The Great Witch went to the handover point with her hands behind her back. She couldn't make a choice, so she asked the Mission World to help her choose.
What kind of world the first mission is and whether the danger level is high or low will be the basis for determining which vest card she uses.
She was lucky enough to go to the first mission world and watch Principal Dumbledore trick the little savior.
This world isn't too difficult, so just bring an SR.
With two SRs, Tarona chose to activate [Blood Nun].
This is a card with a powerful identity, which is very suitable for the ghost-filled castle of Hogwarts. In addition, [Blood Sister] is also a berserker with violent output.
The magician knows the magician best. She can directly interrupt the enemy's spellcasting with physical attacks. Batman's anesthetic strategy is still very useful.
After activating the vest card, Tarona bought two more items that could remind the operators to avoid the world's conscious and unconscious attacks in time. He waved to the young lady at the connection point, and she walked into the teleportation array with her system partner.
This should have been an ordinary and mundane process, but——
Before she was halfway through the transmission, she unfortunately encountered the birth of a new world. The huge energy wave generated by its birth directly impacted her transmission array.
Tarona only had time to use the hand speed she had honed over the years to cast eighteen layers of protective magic on herself and Theseus before the surging energy wave hit her head on. She was hit so hard that her eyes went dark, and then she passed out without knowing anything.
…
The unconscious darkness lasted for a long time. Tarona vaguely felt himself floating, being attracted, and falling, followed by a loud bang...
She seemed, possibly... to have smashed through something.
Another long time passed, and there was a warm light shining on her face. The crisp sound of birds chirping and butterflies fluttering rang in her ears, and dewdrops dripped from the leaves...
【Miss Ta! 】
[…Miss Ta! ]
【Tarona! ——】
The dark red eyes suddenly opened, and the bright golden sunlight filled into the pupils that were raised as if in response to stress. Tarona, who was still a little groggy, saw the azure sky that was not polluted at all.
——It was Theseus who woke her up.
“…I’m still alive.”
Tarona sat up with one hand on the ground, shook her head, and looked around.
She thought, she knew what she had broken through.
——It is the earth.
She was sitting in a big hole, the kind that a meteorite would make when it hit the ground. She must have fallen directly from the sky.
There was no slowing down, and what I landed on was... a forest.
With her as the center, there was no grass growing within a diameter of nearly 200 meters, and everything was flattened.
Seeing his partner stand up shakily, Theseus breathed a sigh of relief: "You'd better check. I'm outside the world now and can't do a full body scan on you. If your body and soul are damaged in any way, I suggest you terminate the mission immediately and return to the headquarters."
Tarona shook off the dirt on his body, nodded, and cast an all-round detection magic on himself.
Magic showed that she was not injured, and she was dizzy only because she landed head first when she fell.
Ah this...
Theseus made a very objective comment: [Miss Ta, your health bar is as thick as your defense. ]
Tarona: "...I'll just take it as a compliment."
【Of course.】
The witch rubbed her temples and said, "Theseus, turn on the detection world mode."
[Okay, Miss Ta.]
This should have been the mode that was activated the moment Tarona entered the world, but because his partner was still not awake, Theseus was too anxious to care about anything else. If Tarona woke up a little later, he would have activated the system partner's authority, forcibly terminated the mission of the staff, and returned to the headquarters with everyone.
Tarona waited for a long time but received no results from Theseus's detection. She found a stone that could still be used for sitting and sat down. While retying the straps on her boots, she asked, "What's wrong, Theseus? Did you find anything unusual?"
She discovered something unusual right from the start. If that was the case, it wouldn't be a pity for her to fall headfirst.
Theseus hesitated to speak, and finally said with great difficulty: "Miss Ta, I'm afraid we... have entered the wrong world."
Tarona paused, looking confused: "Huh?"
What wrong world?
What wrong world have we entered?
Theseus passed the image he had just detected to Tarona: [Although Hogwarts is not connected to the Internet, but...]
The detection screen unfolds, and what comes into view is a group of people working hard in the fields.
The face is a typical oriental face.
The clothes are standard working clothes for ancient farmers.
There is also a farm tool harnessed to an ox, which is a very ancient type of plow.
Finally, in the distance, there are rows of houses built of mud bricks and rough stones.
Tarona himself is a pure Chinese human, so these things should not be too familiar to you, you can find the original ones by looking through history.
The question is, is it possible that such a scene will appear in the West?
How is that possible!
The world background of the little savior can be traced back to around the 1990s!
There would be no such scene in the East!
Could it be a secluded paradise?
Tarona was stunned as if struck by lightning. Theseus called her several times before she came to her senses: "Could it be because of that energy surge?"
This is not impossible. The teleportation array was impacted, and she and Theseus were lucky not to be sucked into the space-time rift. It's just a mistake in the world, so don't panic.
Contact headquarters first.
Thankfully the communication is working fine.
Theseus reported their current situation in detail. After the headquarters asked about their safety, they asked them to wait for a while. It was obvious that they had other arrangements.
One person, one system. In the interior, you look at me, I look at you, and there is an indescribable feeling.
I don't think the headquarters wants to... just go with the flow.
Tarona shuddered and shook his head violently.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! She is a permanent staff member of the General British and American side. This world is obviously an ancient oriental world, and we don’t know what kind of world it is. How can she, who knows nothing about it, be able to do it?
Of course, the headquarters would not want to make the best of a bad situation, but that was pretty much what Tarona thought.
[It's like this, Officer Ta. Before you reported it, an officer who is stationed in the martial arts world also reported the same situation. After our investigation and testing, because the energy tide of the new world has a wider impact, you and this officer who is stationed in the martial arts world are both victims of this accident. Fortunately, neither of you was injured, but... you coincidentally switched mission worlds.]
Tarona: "...It means that I am now in the world of martial arts, and the other party has gone to the world of Anglo-American where I should have been?"
The director's expression was a little sad: [That's right, and that officer has already started his mission.]
Tarona jumped up and said, "Started to do it? No! That's not his mission world at all, okay? How can he, an officer who lives in the comprehensive martial arts world, do the mission of the comprehensive British and American world!?"
[…This can’t be entirely blamed on him. The location and timing of his landing were not quite right.] The Minister sighed, [The abnormality was in chaos in Azkaban, and when he fell, he just happened to catch up with the prisoners inside and break free from their restraints. He hadn’t fused the vest card yet, so he was still in his true form.]
Tarona's mouth twitched as he discovered the point: "Excuse me, what is his race?"
The minister sighed again: [He is a Titan, and his appearance is more cyberpunk style. ]
Big Witch:...Ah, this.
Regardless of the style of the appearance, just the main universe Titan race, their minimum simulated height is over five meters. No wonder they have to bring a vest card. Without a vest card, they can't complete the mission at all.
……etc.
"Is Azkaban okay?"
The Minister had already sighed out all his anger for today: [He was unconscious when he landed on the world, and unconsciously restored his true form. An adult Titan is at least 100 meters tall, so you can imagine his size. Azkaban has turned into a meteorite crater, and the island has sunk with it, and this is the result of the world consciousness helping to pick it up.]
Tarona looked at the huge hole she had created, and thought about the area occupied by Azkaban. She uttered a single word with an ambiguous tone: "Ha."
This wave cleared the field directly, and Voldemort lost his most capable general.
She doesn't even dare to do that.
'Poor thing, my unfortunate colleague.'
She suddenly felt so good. Fortunately, this era was ancient enough and the environment had not been overdeveloped. The place where she landed was a standard wilderness, and there was not a single person within a hundred miles.
Tarona suppressed the relief on his face, sat back on the stone, and asked in a serious manner, "What do you mean, Minister?"
The minister reached out and took several newly drafted documents from the desk, scanned them and sent them to Tarona: [After discussion, we came up with two options - one is to return to the headquarters immediately and take up the mission again; the other is to continue the mission, and the type of the mission world is the world you landed in. ]
Tarona nodded and looked through the documents carefully.
The Minister explained: [But there is a tricky problem here. The energy tide generated when the new world is born will take at least a year to subside. During this period, all transmissions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% stable. The technical department will work overtime for about a month before they can come up with a solution.]
One month?
Tarona paused in turning the pages. At her usual speed, a month would be enough for her to complete one or two tasks.
No, the delay is too long and it will affect her plan to fill her piggy bank.
Furthermore, her transmission channel has been affected once, so the chances of it being affected a second time are very high.
Tarona lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Minister, tell me about the second plan."
The Minister said: [For the second option, since the world you used to live in was not the type of world you landed in, the headquarters will lower the completion standard of the mission. As long as the mission rating reaches B level, the headquarters will directly settle it as A level. Of course, if the mission rating can be higher, then the final settlement will also be based on the higher previous level. ]
[As for rewards, the rewards for a single world and the settlement of a series of tasks will be doubled. As for the bonuses... do you think triple is appropriate? This is also the compensation from the headquarters for you suffering this unprovoked disaster.]
double.
three times.
Just by hearing these two words, Theseus knew what his partner's final decision was.
"I do!"
The Great Witch's dark red eyes suddenly became startlingly bright, and her gaze was so determined that it seemed as if she could charge into the battlefield for the peace of the main universe in the next moment: "Maintaining world stability is our unshirkable responsibility!"
Theseus rolled his eyes and disappeared.
The minister looked at her with satisfaction and said, "You have a very good understanding, Officer Ta. Now that the decision has been made, please sign after reading the document. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."
"Uh-huh!"
Tarona nodded vigorously, and every word on the document was so fascinating.
Hey hey hey, double it, triple it!
Ah, the scent of wealth is so addictive!
Isn't it just a change of world type?
She was not afraid at all!
If the world type is changed, will the abnormality no longer be abnormal? As long as it is abnormal, she has rich experience in fighting against enemies.
"My lovely little treasure, just wait, you will soon be able to restore your plump and round waist!"
In this world, only delicious food and wealth cannot be wasted.
