When Su Mingan triggers his own death rollback at time point B, he will no longer return to the key time point before "11:00 p.m. on the seventh day" as in the alternate rollback, but will only return to time point A at "3:00 p.m. on the eighth day", because for the time outside the instance, he has returned from "the 32nd day of the opening of the tenth world" to "the 31st day of the opening of the tenth world". If he can go back to a time point like "the sixth day" or "the fifth day", then it will no longer be compatible with "real time", and it does not meet the highest level of Su Mingan's death rollback.
Therefore, [Alternate Rollback] is only applicable to one situation - the key time point of Su Mingan's death rollback is before the key time point of Xiao Su's rollback.
Only in this case can the replay be repeated and returned to an earlier time point. If the key time point of Su Mingan's death replay is after the key time point of Xiao Su's replay, then no matter how the replay is triggered, it will not move forward.
After thinking for a moment, Su Ming'an asked Su Wensheng to kill him again to trigger Xiao Su's return.
…
[Xiao Su returns to the game: 11:00 p.m. (This key time point has been returned to twice.)]
…
The blue moonlight sprinkled on his eyelids, and the flowers in the church were fragrant. The moment Su Mingan opened his eyes, he stood up and ran away.
"—control him."
The voice of the gods came from behind.
The sound of metal clashing was heard in the air. Su Ming'an raised her hand, and Alman's sword blocked Mizushima Kawai's blade. The dark color on her blade spread rapidly.
“Swish!”
With a slight sound, a dark shadow emerged on the ground - this was Mizushima Kawase's skill, Shadow Summoning.
She is good at darkness, annihilation, and shadows. She is good at extreme destruction and dissolution.
A cross of light appeared in space, and Su Mingan stepped onto the mechanical wheel. The bright moonlight overlapped between their sight lines, like a cold ice blade. Mizushima Kawaseong's pale face was reflected in the moonlight, and he kept staring at him.
The crystal crown on her head was too dazzling, and the flying golden arc pendant on her neck was also extremely shiny.
There were many shadows in the sky. Bluebird was holding a longbow, standing behind the clouds. Xue Qixia was holding a sniper rifle, aiming at Su Mingan. Beavis was holding a longsword, standing on a flying machine. There were also several figures with wings spread, floating, staring at this side with a covetous look.
A raging fire burned in front of Su Mingan's eyes. The sword in Mizushima Kawai's hand was engraved with patterns praising the gods, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a vague shadow.
"Why?" Su Mingan said.
…Why should we obey the gods?
Mizushima Kawashima's face was gloomy, and he stared at Su Mingan with a look that was half angry and half helpless.
More and more people gathered below, including students from the church, soldiers from Doya City, teachers from the school, and Lu Shu who had hurried over... They looked at the massive battle in the sky from afar.
“——Su Mingan! I’ll go call Yamada and the others to help you!” Lu Shu shouted from below.
Su Mingan had no time to respond to Lu Shu. He stared at Mizushima Kawaseong. She had become a lackey of the gods, and her strength was no longer what it used to be.
"Tell me why. Tell me, why I want to become a goddess." Mizushima Kawashima said slowly.
"Because the gods showed you someone who looked very much like your sister. And you felt that - in this vast universe, you found her?" Su Mingan said.
"Hahaha...hahahaha...really? Is that so? Yes, you should think so - you think I'm a selfish person -"
Sad and angry laughter, crazy laughter, helpless laughter.
Her laughter suddenly burst out, sounding sharp and bright, reminding Su Mingan of Mizushima Kawaharu's last desperate laugh in the rain that night. They had - almost the same look in their eyes.
Mizushima Kawaseong raised his sword high, tears streaming from his eyes:
"——Because my original self doesn't exist in the Ninth World——Don't you understand?!"
Su Mingan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
He felt a heavy drizzle on his face.
"Every time - every time I see you in such a high position at the beginning - do you know how I feel?" Mizushima Kawaseong closed his eyes: "Every time - I see you have such a powerful ability - even - the ability to roll back, which no one can match - do you know how I feel?"
Her miserable smile was like a vast drizzle.
"Why did fate judge me like this, and sentence me before I finished the World Game, saying that I would not be able to live until the end of the World Game? Why did fate refuse to show me my origins? Why did it take away my only relative? Why could I only be born as a 'goddess' instead of an 'old god'?"
"Do you think I want to become a god? But if I don't become this 'goddess', what should I use - what should I use to face you, who is born as an 'old god'? How can I complete the main quest? This game -"
"Su Mingan."
Until this moment, her tragic smile faded, her voice suddenly became calm, and her expression was as cold as if frozen.
“You are a born winner.”
"If I were the 'Old God', if I were 'Su Shaoqing', if I were the 'Detective', if I were 'Su Wensheng' - I would not lose to you."
"It is the game mechanism that doomed me to failure, so that I can only use despicable means to approach your level. So in your eyes, I have become a 'despicable person'."
Su Mingan slowly raised the sword.
"Rewind." Mizushima Kawaseong smiled bitterly: "Rewind... You have this ability. Every time, no matter what achievements I have made, as long as you rewind, it will be erased. Even everything I am saying now will be erased... So, I never plan to win you. There is no need and it is impossible. You should win in the end."
She smiled that desperate smile again.
Su Mingan lowered his eyelids.
Her cognition has become confused.
She had mistakenly taken the Little Su's flashback in Su Mingan... as the flashback of the highest level.
"You will regret it if you become me," said Su Mingan.
"No." Mizushima Kawashima said firmly.
Su Mingan just shook his head: "I'll just have to watch all that despair by myself."
He stared at Mizushima Kawanasora: "Make a deal with me."
