"It's a pity, it's not a special time."
Takumi appeared in Tiangong City and shook his head regretfully.
Although he was in a large universe, his own power had not decreased much, but he was relatively unfamiliar with using the rules. The quality of the rules of the large universe was too high, while the quality of the rules in the small universe of Teyvat was too low.
Now, he could still manipulate the rules at will simply because he was the sum total of Teyvat's small universe. He remained the strongest being in this solar system. Even the Origin Spirit had not reached the level of Starburst, but if she grew normally, she would definitely reach the level of Fanes.
After all, she was a life form that accompanied the seeds of the Kabbalah Tree of Life—a veritable little god.
"But... that's not a problem. Harvesting a portion of the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life' first can solve the issue of insufficient rule quality."
Takumi looked toward the park ahead. A beautiful girl wearing a black skirt and dress, with long, shiny black hair and slanted bangs covering her left eye, was feeding stray cats.
Takumi walked over with a smile.
Kurumi Tokisaki squatted down, gently pouring cat food onto a piece of tissue paper on the ground, and said softly, "Eat quickly, and then I'll hide so no one can find me after I leave."
She felt someone watching her, approaching her. She was accustomed to this sort of thing—she knew she was beautiful. After all, she was once a young lady. Even if she was simply walking peacefully down the street, some unsavory characters would approach her with bad intentions. She would consume their time, despite the disgust it made her feel. She had to do this to put an end to all the things that shouldn't exist in this world.
She thought the person approaching would either ask her to leave or try to strike up a conversation.
"Tokisaki Kurumi, do you wish to realize your desire? Do you want to know the truth about the birth of the Origin Spirit and her intentions?"
The voice coming from behind made Kurumi freeze for a moment, and her heart filled with turmoil. She stood up instantly, turning around to look, her expression serious. She was stunned by the sight.
What she saw was a boy so handsome that he almost didn't seem human. His golden eyes were filled with the truths of the universe.
After regaining her senses, she quickly took a step back. The stray cat behind her, startled, gave a "meow" and fled into the park's woods.
Kurumi, now fully alert, allowed her spiritual energy to surge out of her body. A red dress appeared on her, and an ancient musket formed in her hands. She looked at him warily.
"Who are you? Are you an elf too? But as far as I know, there are no male elves."
Takumi admired Kurumi Tokisaki's sudden transformation, and memories of watching anime as a student rushed back to him. Back then, Kurumi Tokisaki had been his favorite character. She was sexy and selfless, willing to repeat her actions a thousand times for the one she loved—to go back in time and save them.
"I am a creator from another world. Well, it's hard to explain in words."
He gestured, and an 'information light ball' appeared in his hand. It contained all the information Tokisaki Kurumi wanted to know, including the 'Teyvat Universe,' the 'Origin Spirit's Plan,' the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life Seeds,' and more.
Kurumi remained cautious, her gun pointed at this mysterious young man, but fear gnawed at her. She looked at the floating 'information light ball' in front of her. Sensing no immediate danger, she cautiously reached out with her index finger and touched it.
Instantly, a flood of memories emerged in her mind.
Due to the influx of memories, Kurumi's consciousness fell into a brief daze. But as she quickly processed the 'information,' her red eyes widened, and shock overtook her.
"My 'spiritual crystal' is a fragment of the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life.' As an adaptor of the 'spiritual crystal,' I am also the angel guarding this 'Kabbalah fragment'!"
This wasn't the most shocking revelation.
The creator of another world sought the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life' and wanted the universe he created to possess this truth. The strange world of Teyvat!
She also learned the truth about the Origin Spirit—its creation and purpose. And the reason for sacrificing so many lives to create the 'elves'—all for the sake of resurrecting a friend. How absurd.
It wasn't even a lover, not Itsuka Shido, but Itsuka Shiori.
Takumi watched Kurumi Tokisaki's face shift through myriad emotions and smiled. "Kurumi Tokisaki, become my 'angel.' In return, I will save everyone who has perished since the birth of the Origin Spirit."
As he spoke, the 'Ouroboros Ring' slowly rotated behind him.
This world was quite special—the 'Seeds of the Kabbalah Tree of Life' had ninety percent of the authority over this 'Earth-Moon System.' As long as all the elves were gathered, the Earth-Moon System could be annexed.
Kurumi looked at the boy, who held out his hand to her gently, like a savior and the creator of another world. She didn't know why, but she trusted him instinctively, believing everything he said was true.
Kurumi Tokisaki's voice trembled slightly. "Really? Can you really save everyone?"
So far, she had consumed other people's 'time,' becoming the most feared elf. But it was all for one reason—to go back thirty years and kill the 'Origin Spirit' to prevent the tragedies.
But despite countless attempts, even if she traveled back in time, there was always a 'paradox.' Even if she saved someone, when she returned to the future, they would inevitably die for different reasons.
Takumi smiled and said, "Of course. I am the Creator, and the paradox of time does not apply to me. Moreover, you are a fragment of Kabbalah. Once you become my 'angel,' the 'paradox of time' will also become invalid for you."
Kurumi Tokisaki was still rational, but the two voices in her mind battled—should she believe him or not? Finally, she sighed and smiled slightly. "There's no other choice. Even if I am deceived, I deserve it. If I give up now, I might lose my only chance."
"Besides, Mr. Creator from another world is here just for 'Kabbalah,' and he won't let me go anyway."
"So, I'll trust Mr. Creator this once."
Kurumi Tokisaki extended her hand to the perfect boy.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
