"Don't be so nervous."
Shiraishikawa spread his hands, making a harmless gesture.
"I just came to see how my two guests are settling in."
"Where did you move the mansion?"
Chapter 492 A Better World
Kuonji Yuju asked coldly.
Shiraishi Kawa tilted his head, giving a feigned look of confusion.
"Rearrange? That's not quite the right word. I just... rearranged the space. Your mansion is now in a more interesting location."
"You bastard!"
Aozaki Aoko couldn't help but curse.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Shiraishi's smile widened, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
"What do I want to do? Aozaki Aoko, I thought you already understood. I'm creating a better world."
He took a step forward, while Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Yuju simultaneously stepped back.
Seeing this, Shiraishikawa's smile became even brighter.
"Look at you all, like frightened little rabbits. Especially you, the inheritor of the Fifth Law, you are actually so afraid of me."
Aozaki Aoko felt a wave of shame, but she had to admit that Shiraishi was right—she was afraid.
It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I'm afraid of facing that overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
"who are you?"
Aozaki Aoko asked through gritted teeth.
"You are not an ordinary magician, and you may not even be human."
Shiraishikawa stopped and assumed a thoughtful posture.
"This is an interesting question. Who am I? In a sense, I am an observer, a judge, and also..."
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
"The Recaster".
Aozaki Aoko felt a wave of dizziness; every word Shiraishi Kawa said carried a magical weight, pressing down on her nerves.
"enough."
Kuonji Yuzu suddenly spoke, and a delicate silver pocket watch was now in her hand.
"Give the mansion back."
Shiraishikawa looked at Kuonji Yuju with interest in his eyes.
"Ah, the Kuonji family's secret treasure. Interesting. What do you intend to use it for? To reverse time in this area?"
He shook his head.
"It's no use. Didn't your mother tell you? Some changes are irreversible."
Kuonji Yuzu's face grew even paler, but her hand remained firmly gripping the pocket watch.
"Just try and you will find out."
Aozaki Aoko knew what Kuonji Yuzu was going to do, and she had to help.
She closed her eyes and began to mobilize the remaining power of the Fifth Law within her body. Even if it was only a little, she had to...
Just then, a terrible premonition struck her.
Aozaki Aoko's eyes snapped open, her pupils contracting.
In her eyes, the space around Shiraishikawa presented a strange, distorted state, as if he himself were a singularity of spacetime.
Even more frightening, she saw that attacking Shiraishikawa now would lead to a series of unpredictable chain reactions.
The entire spacetime structure of the planet could be altered as a result, and the future of all life would be completely rewritten.
"Kuonji Aratama, wait a minute!"
Aozaki Aoko hurriedly called out.
"Don't attack him!"
Kuonji Yuzu looked at Aozaki Aoko with a puzzled expression, and stopped what she was doing.
"what happened?"
Aozaki Aoko swallowed hard.
"I see... If we attack him now, it could lead to a global catastrophe. The future of the entire world would be changed."
Shiraishikawa clapped and laughed.
"Brilliant! The successor of the Fifth Law is indeed extraordinary, to be able to see through this."
He walked forward, his steps as light as if he were dancing.
"That's right, I'm now entangled with the underlying structure of this world. Attacking me is tantamount to attacking the world itself."
Asking for flowers
He stopped just a few steps away from the two of them and opened his arms.
"So, my dear enemies, what do you intend to do?"
Aozaki Aoko's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She had never encountered such a desperate situation.
The enemy is right in front of you, but you can't attack; the person you want to protect is in danger, but you are powerless to help.
Kuonji Yuzu stood quietly, but Aozaki Aoko could sense the storm raging within her.
Aozaki Aoko knew better than anyone what the Kuonji mansion meant to her.
0 . . . . . . . . . . .
"Why..."
Aozaki Aoko spoke with difficulty.
"Why do this? If you have such power, why not just..."
"Destroy the world?"
Shiraishichuan picked up the conversation, then shook his head.
"No, no, no, you've completely misunderstood. I don't want to destroy, I want to create. The world right now is too... boring. It's full of pointless rules and restrictions."
His eyes shone with a fanatical light.
"I want to break down these restrictions and create a truly free new world!"
"madman..."
Aozaki Aoko murmured.
Shiraishikawa was not offended; instead, he laughed even more heartily.
"A madman? Maybe. But madmen are often the most clear-headed people."
He suddenly stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
"Aozaki Aoko, Kuonji Yuzu, I'm giving you a choice—join my new world, or..."
"Or what?"
"Kyuonji Yuju asked coldly."
"Or become the cornerstone of a new world."
Shiraishi's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if it came from a very distant place.
Chapter 493 A Wonderful New World
"Like the Kuonji residence, it will become part of the new structure."
Aozaki Aoko felt a chill.
She finally understood where the mansion had gone—it had been dismantled by Shiraishikawa and turned into building materials for what he called the new world.
"Don't even think about it!"
Aozaki Aoko retorted angrily, even though she knew her threat was meaningless.
Shiraishikawa sighed, a regretful expression on his face.
"I had assumed the successor to the Fifth Law would have more... foresight."
He shook his head.
"It seems I overestimated you."
He raised his hand and made a simple gesture—just snapping his fingers.
In an instant, Aozaki Aoko felt the space around her begin to distort.
The ground, the sky, the distant ruins—everything is being deformed and reassembled.
Even more terrifying, she felt her body begin to be affected, as if every cell was being disassembled and rearranged.
"Aozaki Aoko!"
Kuonji Arisu's shouts came from afar.
Aozaki Aoko wanted to respond, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
Her vision began to blur, and her consciousness gradually faded.
Before she was completely plunged into darkness, she saw Shiraishikawa walking slowly towards her with that chilling smile on his face.
"Nice to meet you, Aozaki Aoko."
