I Have Crossed Over, but You Are The Second Week?

Echidna put away her thoughts, did not answer Emilia's doubts, and she also did not want to talk too much. She ended this conversation and signaled Emilia to focus on the "trial" again. ' content above.

And in the past scene shown by the trial, when her own attack was easily blocked, and even the opponent's clothes looked very neat, Fortuna gritted her teeth unwillingly.

However, just when Fortuna was about to attack again, Qiu Si stretched out his hand to block Fortuna.

"Master Fortuna, take Emilia-sama to retreat first. If you want to defeat Regulus, our current strength alone is not enough."

Juss didn't know exactly what kind of omnipotence Regulus Conias possessed as the role of 'Greed', because even if they were members of the Witch Cult, what they thought and pursued each other Things are also different.

Then, just because they have the same stance but actually seem to be estranged companions, it is naturally impossible for Qius to know what the essence of the other party's power is from Regulus Conias.

But even if he didn't know it, Juss had seen the scene of Regulus Conias' battle, and it was as if Fortuna's attack just now had no effect.

Therefore, Qiu Si judged that instead of continuing to fight here, it would be safer to choose to retreat rationally.

Facing Fortuna's unwilling resistance, Qiu Si calmly persuaded: "Please calmly consider the current situation. Compared to letting you vent your anger, Mrs. Fortuna, there are people here who should be protected more!"

—That is, little Emilia.

Qiu Si's words made Fortuna calm down, and after a moment of silence, Fortuna hugged little Emilia behind her in her arms.

"mom, Mom, Mom……!?"

"Please retreat from here first. Then, immediately go to the colony and call for rescue. The believers who came here with me have the same wish as mine, and they are willing to do what Master Flugel expects. Make an effort. They will definitely come back to help me!"

"But, if we just run away like this, Jus, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't choose to stay here without any countermeasures."

Even though his whole body was a little stiff due to mental tension, Qius still smiled in order to reassure Fortuna and little Emilia.

Seeing Qiu Si like this, Fortuna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then quickly ran towards the back of Qiu Si, outside the forest, holding Emilia in her arms.

And what was left was only the firm words like "I will definitely come back to save you——".

"Jeus is separated from me when I was a child. What's the matter with this 'trial'?"

Emilia, who was standing beside Echidna, asked puzzledly.

What she was asking about was not the parting scene in front of her, but the fact that the "story" in front of her was still going on after her past self left.

If it's about recreating her past, then it's only natural that she has witnessed things with her own eyes, but in fact, the past she at this time is no longer here.

"Of course it can continue. Even if your eyes haven't witnessed the past, the power of the Book of Wisdom is still correcting this duplicated world."

Echidna said so.

"The battle you saw is also something that actually happened in the past...Compared to this, if you want to break through the 'trial', shouldn't you catch up with yourself in the past? What are you going to do? Woolen cloth?"

Except for Echidna, she abnormally gave a reminder to clear the 'Trial', but Emilia hesitated a little about such a reminder.

Emilia is very clear that her purpose is to pass the 'trial', and if she wants to do this, she must catch up with her past self.

However, Emilia was also inquiring and curious about the matter of Qiu Si.

"Although it should be done as you said... But, I'm still a little curious as to why this Qius became what he was later."

Emilia chose to stay temporarily.

"Also, the current Qius doesn't seem to have the ability of 'Invisible Hand'."

Chapter 413 Echidna's Trap

Regarding Fortuna and Little Emilia who turned and fled, Regulus Conias did not choose to stop them.

In the final analysis, why did Regulus Conias choose to violate the agreement between the Witch Priest and Bishop? Even Qiu Si, who chose to come to the Elliot Forest, was not clear.

However, Qius still had an understanding of what kind of person Regulus Conias was.Coupled with the somewhat strange but unexplainable strange changes of Regulus Conias, and the existence of Pandora who is traveling with him.

Even though he didn't know the opponent's purpose, Qiu Si had already judged him as an existence that must be defeated.

"It has to be done, just beat you and Pandora-sama here!"

Joss, that's how he made up his mind.

However, for Juss, Regulus Conias only had irony and dissatisfaction with the weak.

"Hey, being able to make such a choice has changed me a bit for that cowardly you. Aren't you handsome?"

"But who are you letting them go? What do you think I came here for? No matter how you think about it, it's because I have something to do."

"Of course, it's not related to you, but to the two who escaped over there. So your blocking my behavior can be regarded as an action against me, an infringement of my rights!"

Regulus continued to talk about "big truths" that made people laugh and had no reason at all, but for such a Regulus Cognas, Juss no longer had any interest in arguing with him.

"Go ahead and talk about what you want to say. I have no intention of refuting you or persuading you to leave."

"As long as I'm still alive, as long as I'm still standing here, then I won't let you take a step forward, and I won't let you get close to Lady Fortuna and Lady Emilia!"

The two must be guarded. Apart from the guilt that Qius has been bearing and oppressing himself, there is also the duty of guarding the 'seal' well.

And for this responsibility, in order to be worthy of the trust in the "Great Sage" Phryugel whom he revered, Qius could even dedicate his life.

"You can really say it. I don't know if you are one of the founders of the Witch Cult or what, but you, who are in your current position based on your past contributions, still want to block me who is being elected dignifiedly! Do you think it is possible? Will you win? What the hell are you thinking?"

"...Maybe it's because a guy like you is a latecomer, and only got the job because he's 'qualified', so it doesn't make sense."

Can't understand the teachings of the Witch Cult, can't understand the expectations of the witches, can't understand the meaning of the existence of the Witch Cult, it is precisely because there are people like Regulus Conias who reached the top with their "qualifications" after the death of the witches. Only people will cause the distortion that happened to the Witch Cult.

Only then will no one be able to control the only remaining witch, Pandora——

"Then... let me show you now."

There were a lot of thoughts in Qius's mind, but there was still no expression on his face, nor was he angry because of Regulus Conias' words.

However, maybe there is no expression of any emotion, and it is not necessarily the moment before the emotion is vented to the maximum.

"Quis, what are you going to do?"

Emilia saw Qius put his hand into his clothes, and from his expression, he could see the consciousness of being generous to die.

Emilia has seen such an expression before, before her "rebirth", in the "future" that has long been impossible to reach, whether she chooses to buy time for her to escape with Subaru and face Reinhardt Parker, who died at the hands of Ram, and Subaru who died at the hands of Ram all had expressions similar to those of Joss.

However, maybe it was too indifferent. Although she knew that Qiu Si was going to do something to sacrifice herself, there was not much sadness or pain in Emilia's heart, and there was more concern and concern for the unknown. curious.

"Hey, you bastard--!?"

Regulus Conias realized something.

What Qius took out from his clothes was a small black box. Even though he couldn't see the contents of the box, Regulus Conias had already realized what was stored in it.

In this regard, Regulus Conias put away his previous sloppy attitude, and cast a determined look at Qius's behavior at this time.

Even Regulus Conias felt the conviction of the man he had previously dismissed as 'garbage'.

"You should be able to feel it. After all, you're the one who got this too."

"I know……"

Regulus Conias said with an uneasy expression: "It is precisely because I know that I have nothing to say about your stupidity."

"Do you want to use this as the last trick? You really don't understand anything, you are not qualified to carry that! This is an absolute fact!"

"...Indeed, with my aptitude, I really can't adapt to this."

Joss calmly accepted what Regulus Konyas had said.

"So I have been keeping this just according to the entrustment I received. But, maybe this can be said to be prepared for this kind of moment."

Everyone present could feel the determination in Qiu Si's eyes like its essence, it was the determination to sacrifice everything for the sake of faith.

Emilia sighed in her heart the determination of Qiu Si in front of her and the difference from the crazy 'lazy' bishop she met before, while she put her eyes on the box in Qiu Si's hand.

"That, what exactly is it?"

"...That's the 'witch factor'. To be more accurate, it's the 'lazy factor'."

"'Witch Factor'? Sloth?"

Emilia was a little puzzled, and lowered her gaze to Echidna beside her.Her question just now can be said to be submissive, and she didn't really expect anyone to answer her question.So for Echidna's response, she also had some surprises.

"The reason why witches possess power and are called witches is because they have integrated this 'factor'"

"Jealousy, lust, lust, gluttony, laziness, arrogance, anger, the fusion of witch factors represented by different symbols is the corresponding witch. It can also be said that it is precisely because of possessing witch factors that one can become a witch."

In other words, no witch is born, they all become witches the day after tomorrow because of their 'qualification' or the fusion of 'factors' actively or accidentally.

"Like what you saw just now, Regulus Conias was not affected by the attack, or the 'lazy' Bishop of the future of Chous who was killed by you before is not allowed The "Hand of Sight" are all the "powers" that represent their essence after the fusion of the "witch factor".

"...That's it."

Emilia nodded, she sort of understood the meaning of Echidna's words.

"However, there is one more thing that I am very concerned about. That is the Qius we met before...that is, Petichius Romany-Conti is very different from him in the past."

"Could it be said that the 'witch factor' can also affect a person's thinking and personality?"

After all, the difference between the two is too great.

During the trial, Emilia saw that Qiu Si was like a gentle, weak, ordinary person with no obvious advantages but no evil deeds.

But in reality, the 'lazy' bishop Emilia met, that man had nothing but disordered and incomprehensible madness.

It can be said that there is a completely opposite difference, so Emilia has to pay attention to it.

"There will be some influence to some extent... No, it's not so much an influence, but a change?"

"Only 'qualified persons' can perfectly integrate the 'witch factor', and just like having titles like 'lust' or 'laziness', different aspects of 'qualified persons' with witch factors, Including personality is also close to the essence corresponding to the factors.”

"It's like I, as a witch of 'lust', has the desire for all knowledge. This is not a change after I got the factor, but it was already like this before that."

It's just that the existence of factors will continuously strengthen this tendency that includes lust.

"And if he is not qualified, like the man in front of him, his essence does not match his laziness, then he will be rejected by the 'witch factor'. Either he will die later, or he will be affected by the factor and be rejected." Change from the inside out?"

However, Qius... that is, the reason why Petichius Romanee-Conti fell into madness had nothing to do with the witch factor.

Echidna did not say this directly.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing I can tell you~"

Echidna seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a smile that was very rare for Emilia appeared in her eyes.

"The 'Witch Factor' will automatically look for 'qualified persons' around after the death of the host. Even if there is no 'qualified person', it will forcibly fuse with one of the people present~"

"Then, guess whose body the 'witch factor' belonging to the sloth entered after you killed the sloth?"
