Chapter 89: Rules Twisted
Hearing Ethan's rejection, Madeline showed no abnormality, as if she didn't care about it.
"It doesn't seem surprising that I will refuse?"
“That’s interesting.”
Ethan discovered that Madeline did not think that she would refuse, but that she didn't care whether she refused or not. Her rejection seemed to make her more interested.
While the two were talking, a group of "idlers" had already arrived in the courtyard, and they kept a distance from Ethan and Madeline.
If they could, they would like to stay away from this place immediately, even if Emiya Shirou was no exception, even if this was his home.
Unfortunately, the surrounding situation made them unable to leave at all, so they could only stand here blankly and watch two special existences standing there talking.
"Maybe you find it interesting, but I'm not interested in playing with you."
Ethan gently clenched his fist with his left hand, and a bright blue light burst out with his left hand, and then the pattern of the teleportation magic array appeared at his feet.
The teleportation magic array was activated normally, and it seemed that this small world could not stop Ethan from leaving, but just as he was about to officially start, he suddenly felt something and immediately stopped his magic.
"Did you notice it?"
Ethan put away his left hand and looked at Madeline in front of him. He didn't expect that Madeline would actually think of using this method to stop him.
"When you come to this world and ‘create’ this new world line, you become connected with the world... Although such a connection is difficult to be 'catched', if you leave in front of me in that way..."
Madeline didn't finish her words, but Ethan had known for a long time what she wanted to say.
If you cast teleportation magic under Madeline's close gaze, and take advantage of the world's connection with you and such a close distance, Madeline can chase you through the gaps in the space opened by the teleportation magic.
This means that Ethan's "main world" will be exposed to the eyes of one or even a group of master gods.
"So what? You still can't stop me from leaving." Ethan looked at Madeline in front of him: "Especially when your true body cannot truly face me."
Madeline in front of her was just a clone projection, and she did not have any powerful power. She was even more joking with her power to suppress Ethan.
The real Madeleine is standing outside the world, always ready to "track" Ethan.
"So what? You can't leave, are you willing to spend all the time with me here?"
"You're thinking too much." Ethan shook his head: "Just as you said just now, if you want to 'catch up' me, first of all, you need me to use that ability in front of you... and most importantly, the connection I have made with the world."
"so?"
"So I just need to cut off this connection, and even if you see me exerting that ability, you have no way to catch me."
Madeline's expression finally changed. She frowned and bit her lower lip gently. She had thought about what Ethan said, but she couldn't think of what Ethan would do to cut off this connection.
According to her observation, Ethan has not fully controlled that power, which means that many connections are established by this ability itself and are not controlled by Ethan himself.
"It's very simple, destroying this world is..."
Madeline opened her mouth, she didn't expect Ethan to say such crazy words to destroy a world? That's not as simple as destroying a planet.
However, after thinking about it carefully, you will find that this is not impossible. After all, it is a newborn world. As long as you find the right way, you can easily destroy this world even if it cannot be completely destroyed. However, destroying a world will cause chaos and the power of the whole world's rules will fall into chaos. At this time, the connection between Ethan and the world will fluctuate. At that time, he can take the opportunity to leave without worrying about being tracked by himself.
So, the only question now is, is Ethan's strength enough to do all this?
"I don't believe you can do this."
"It's really hard on my own."
Ethan admitted this very simply. Even if it was just a newborn world, it was not possible to destroy it casually. But if he couldn't do it himself, it didn't mean that this thing could not be done. Ethan couldn't do it alone, but he had friends!
With a light raising of his hand, two space cracks appeared above Ethan. This space crack was like a black shadow that could swallow everything suddenly appeared in the air. Even if these two space cracks were very threatened to the surrounding heroes, they were accidentally wiped to a little, which meant that this part of the body was completely cut from this world.
When the space crack appeared, everyone couldn't help but retreated for a distance again, almost retreating to the edge of this small space.
For Madeline, this kind of space crack was nothing. What made her care was that two powerful energy came from opposite the space crack.
"But I've been wandering outside for so long, and I've known some friends more or less... They'll be happy to help me at this time."
Both of them are top-notch existences for the use of magic, rules, and energy. They don’t even need to appear. Just borrow some power to themselves, and Ethan can complete the "explosion" of this world.
As powerful energy mixed with various rules continued to gush from the two cracks on the head, echoing the energy released by Ethan, who happened to form an inverted triangle below, a chaotic energy group began to condense and form at the center of the three points.
There was no earth-shaking sound, no dazzling light, and no strong wind that made people breathe, but this strange energy ball gave people a very terrible feeling. Even Madeline felt a sense of fear in her heart. She didn't know how many years she hadn't experienced it.
"Is this really good?"
Madeline looked at the crowd watching on the side. If Ethan destroyed the world, even if they could survive, they would lose their homes. Although there are often reincarnators who destroy the entire city and even the planet at any time in the main god space, it does not mean that Madeline appreciates this method.
From the beginning, she thought Ethan was the kind-hearted "good kid" in the kind-hearted camp, so she was so enthusiastic about recruiting. Did she misread it?
"I admit that what I did was not a good thing, but that doesn't mean that I refuse to use this method when necessary."
Madeline hugged her arms and suddenly made a suggestion.
"Or let's make a bet... If you can win, I will not only let you leave, but even give you this world as a plea."
Madeline didn't want to break up completely, but unfortunately Ethan never followed the other party's routine.
"Why do you think I'd be willing to bet with you?"
It’s not that I can’t solve this crisis, why do you have to act according to the other party’s wishes? You just bet if you say you want to bet? Believe it or not, I will just put this energy ball on your hand and stuff it on your face?
Madeline found that her proposal was ignored by Ethan? This made her more interested in Ethan and she became less and less willing to let Ethan go.
But the current situation is not a question she wants or not, but Ethan doesn't want to say anything more to her. With the frightened faces of countless people around, he directly knocked the energy ball in his hand to the ground.
There was no earth-shaking explosion, nor any terrifying scene of world destruction. Except for the sudden shattering of the confinement space created by Madeline, it seemed that nothing had happened. For example, Shirou Emiya and Rin Tosaka could hardly notice anything strange, only a few people who were heroes suddenly realized something was wrong.
"I feel... it seems like something has changed."
Just as several heroes were trying to check, Ilia suddenly fell to the ground with a look of pain, and blood began to penetrate her body.
“Ah~”
An indescribable severe pain filled Ilia's whole body, and the blood that kept oozing out of her body quickly soaked her clothes.
"Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you will find that everything is different."
Ethan had arrived next to Elya at some point and gently brushed her head. Elya, who was so painful that she couldn't even faint, fell asleep so deeply.
At this time, everyone discovered that Ethan's originally black hair had mostly turned gray and some subtle wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"What did you... do?"
The moment Ethan appeared beside her, Rin Tosaka instinctively wanted to use magic to defend and attack, but when she took out the gem, she was surprised to find that she could not feel any magic at all.
“Rules twisted.”
"What's the meaning?"
Some of the people present understood a little, while others didn't understand at all. As a result, Madeline, who had recovered from shock, explained: "Have you modified the rules of this world?"
"In this way, my connection with this world has also been erased in the modification. Now I can leave as long as I want, and you can't catch up."
Ethan modified not only his connection with the world. He directly erased the magic system of this world. Changes in the rules will have more impacts. For example, an old guy who used magic methods to survive, lost his magic power and his lifespan has completely come to an end.
"It seems you won this time, but you are not in good condition now?" Madeline was not angry at Ethan's escape from his 'claw', and even felt that Ethan was more worth chasing for her: "If you are loyal to me now, I can help you solve these problems."
Aging continues, but Ethan doesn't care at all: "This is not a big trouble for me."
"Your trouble is more than this."
Madeline pointed gently at the wall beside her. There was a woman holding a spear sitting there, just staring at Ethan quietly.
"Your behavior just now has completely destroyed her home."
