Chapter 9: Experimenting with Abilities

Tokisaki Kurumi, was the most special one among the ten genies.

The other genies only consume the energy called [Spiritual Power] when they use their angels, but Tokisaki Kurumi consumes [Time] along with her spiritual power.

Time, that is, her lifespan.

Every time she used the Time Emperor, her lifespan would become shorter, and the time consumed when using different abilities was different.

The Bullet of One required the shortest lifespan to be consumed, the Ten of Bullet required the most lifespan to be consumed, while the Bullet of Eleven and the Bullet of Twelve didn't consume time, but they consumed more Spiritual Energy than the One of Bullet to the Ten of Bullet combined.

The ability of the first no Bullet is to speed up time, and using it on yourself allows you to move in an instant, which is very convenient in both everyday life and in battle.

The power of the second bullet is to slow down time, hitting the enemy can significantly slow down the opponent's movement, thus gaining an advantage in battle.

The ability of Third Bullet is to jump in time, jumping the body state to a certain time,

relatively less useful, but also useful in special circumstances, similar to the Golden Clara.

The ability of Fourth is Time Reversal, which reverses the body's state to before a certain time, which is equivalent to the invincible healing ability, and can regenerate limbs from minor and serious injuries.

The ability of Fifth is to foretell the future, being able to see what will happen in the short future, so as to prepare accordingly.

The ability of the Bullet of Six is the Transfer of Consciousness, transferring the consciousness of the main body to an alter ego in a past timeline, equivalent to an enhanced version of the Defeat Eater's Dust.

The ability of the Bullet of Seven is Time Stop, which suspends objects and creatures that are shot at a certain point in time, similar to the limited object .

The ability of the Bullet of Eight is the creation of a doppelganger, which pulls itself from a past timeline into the present timeline.

The ability of the Bullet of Nine is to link consciousnesses, capable of linking the consciousnesses of separate individuals in different timelines.

The ability of the Ten of Bullet is to read memories, literally read memories.

The ability of the Eleven Bullet is to travel to the future.

The ability of the Bullet of Twelve is to go back to the past.

If one wanted to create a doppelganger to help them accomplish their mission, then they would have to use the Bullet of Eight.

Only, the time consumed by the Bullet of Eight wasn't exactly small, and it wouldn't take many times for her to die as her lifespan came to an end.

But the solution to the time problem was not without a method.

Tokisaki Kurumi also had an ability called [Time Eating Castle].

Time Eating City is a boundary used by Tokisaki Kurumi to replenish time, and any life form that steps within the boundary will be forced to absorb time, and their bodies will become too heavy to move, thus falling into a deep sleep, and the only ones who are able to avoid the sleep are the elves.

In this world, probably the only ones who are immune to the slumber effect are those with special abilities like Ogai Mori.

The most important thing she needed to solve right now was the problem of time shortage.

If there wasn't enough time, she wouldn't be able to summon a doppelganger, and if she couldn't summon a doppelganger, then this investigative task would become extremely difficult.

"Huh, wait."

Suddenly, Tokisaki Kurumi realized that she had fallen into a miscalculation in her thinking

"Can't I just use the City of Time Eating to put these people into a state of slumber, and then slowly investigate afterward?"

If the real Tokisaki Kurumi had encountered this situation, the first thing he would have thought of would be to use the City of Time Eating to put ordinary people into a state of slumber, right?

Although the young girl was very familiar with Tokisaki Kurumi ability, she didn't have much experience in actually utilizing this aspect.

"There's still a long way to go if I want to play the role of madness well."

The young girl sighed, and with a thought, she opened the Time Eater's City.

The crimson field centered on Tokisaki Kurumi and spread violently in all directions, enveloping the entire factory building in a nightmare-like boundary.

Soon, there were people who couldn't withstand the negative effects from the Time Eating City and collapsed to the ground.

"What's happening?!"

"I feel a little ... dizzy ..."

"It's hard to believe that it's a ... Supernatunal attack?"

Everyone in the factory was thrown into chaos.

As the first person lost consciousness and fainted to the ground, panic gradually filled the hearts of the others.

Being in the crimson City of Time Eaters, those armed men with a little more experience quickly realized that they were under the influence of an Alter Ego, and they all gripped the firearms in their hands, vigilantly gathering together in twos and threes.

However, time did not allow them to discuss any countermeasures.

In less than a minute, whether it was ordinary people or armed personnel, all of them were now falling into a deep sleep under the ability of the City of Time Eaters, collapsing on the ground like corpses.

When Tokisaki Kurumi looked around, there was no one who was able to resist the effects of the City of Time Eating.

It looked like there were no Exalts here.

This was good news, although Tokisaki Kurumi combat power was not weak and ranked in the middle of the pack among elves, it was better to try not to fight if you could.

"Is this what it feels like to take someone else's time."

When Tokisaki Kurumi closed her eyes, she felt more than twenty strange auras slowly flowing into her shadow as if they were streams, feeding back into her main body.

The hour and minute hands and second hand of the golden clock eye in her left eye turned rapidly, symbolizing the constant flow of time that was flowing into her body.

Tokisaki Kurumi was considered to be in the first tier of the many elves in terms of total spiritual power, and was rarely short of blue.

But in order to utilize her true strength, what was needed was not spiritual power, but a sufficient amount of time.

Theoretically, as long as there was enough time, she could defeat any of the elves.

And this world's Tokisaki Kurumi was still a blank slate, never having taken someone else's time, so many of the Carved Emperor's abilities would be limited.

Absorbing the time of more than twenty people at the same time, her time reserves increased by leaps and bounds, growing to several times its original size in just a few minutes.

After absorbing to a certain extent and having enough time, Tokisaki Kurumiopened her eyes.

"Eight Bullet."

The silhouette of the Time Emperor appeared behind him, and the Roman numeral eight on the clock released a stream of black smoke.

It was inhaled by the barrel of the flintlock pistol.

The Bullet of Eight was filled into the flintlock, and Tokisaki Kurumi put the muzzle of the gun to his own head and fired a round.

In the next moment, another Tokisaki Kurumi slowly emerged from her shadow.

"Hello, [I]." The doppelganger greeted.

"First time, [I]." Tokisaki Kurumi responded.

Looking at the doppelganger in front of her, who shared the same appearance, voice, and memories as her, she couldn't help but feel a marvelous feeling rise in her heart.

"To be honest, I wanted to do this when I first became Tokisaki Kurumi." She said with emotion, "The ability to carve out the Emperor is so convenient and cheating."

"One way to put it, indeed." The summoned doppelganger couldn't help but agree, "The first time I played as is Tokisaki Kurumi, it's almost like I hit the jackpot, and in this world as long as I'm serious, it's not difficult at all to complete the main quest."

"Mainline mission ah ... There's still a long way to go if you want to complete the mainline quest."

Tokisaki Kurumi turned his head, looking towards the instruments and the fainted people in the center of the factory, and said to the doppelganger.

"For now, it's better to finish the task at hand."
