For a moment, the matter of the Difference Engine was forgotten. The Difference Engine is nothing compared to a full-fledged Calamity Beast.
"No, no, it's not that he escaped, it's just that part of the worm's power was used by an existence at the current time, making the [Paradox Worm] appear in a degraded form. The great one, do you know that at the current time, Is there anything that could possibly do such an almost impossible thing?"
Jenkins has been speechless, his head is now full of scenes of mechanical bugs wriggling in the fog.
Shaking his head, he threw this picture out of his head:
"Anyway, do you have a way to deal with that thing? Deal with that bug."
"Of course there is a way, please rest assured. The great ones, the meaning of our race's existence is to prevent the Paradox Worm from appearing in any form at different times. Only this time, the power of the Paradox Worm was used, We need your help."
"No problem, what do I need to do?"
The power of [Paradox Bug] is hard to explain. The birth of this big bug originated from the use of dangerous time power. The paradoxes accumulated due to time travel eventually led to the appearance of bugs that should not have appeared. It absorbed the terrifying power of time paradoxes, shouldered the sins, and became the beast of disaster in the ancient era.
Traveling through time and controlling time are only the most basic powers of [Paradox]. It is a paradox in itself, the existence of the worm itself proves that this kind of worm cannot exist, and the fact that it cannot exist can prove that it does exist. Although it has a materialized body, any attack against the [Paradox Bug] entity is ineffective. Under the gods, only the ability of time can affect this bug, but this bug can attack any creature through the entity.
It doesn't have many kinds of abilities in itself, simply speaking, as long as it appears, time will be chaotic. This kind of bug will not actively attack, but passively generate time chaos. And if this kind of chaos is not controlled, more and more paradoxes will accumulate over time, until a certain limit is reached, and the entire world will disappear directly. That's not even the end, because there's no beginning and there's no end.
Sounds simple, but once it happens, it's completely unexplainable.
For example, Miss Audrey and Miss Broniance didn't understand what was happening outside the Evergreen Forest at this moment.
Although the two fortune tellers did not have a helper like Jenkins by their side, they still guessed that the fog of chaotic time was in the affected area just like Alexia.
It's just that they can't leave the carriage, so they can't make any changes to the status quo. On the contrary, Alexia actually contacted Miss Audrey for a short time, but the conversation between the two was interrupted just after it started, as if nothing happened just now.
But the advantage of the fortuneteller profession is that they can create something out of nothing, and they can infer conclusions even without clues. Two outstanding fortunetellers in the material world jointly predicted what would happen in the near future, and the conclusion they got was that in ten minutes, they would carry out the current divination.
"..."
Therefore, the divination was carried out again, and the conclusion reached was that in ten minutes, the carriage of Ponton Winery would be carrying a full load of goods and heading towards the city of Nolan.
Punton Winery is a winery originally located in the valley where the Evergreen Forest is located, and was occupied by cultists seeking immortality. Wineries were destroyed and forests emerged in the fire of cultists and believers of lies, which happened last autumn.
"Don't try any more, the time around here is completely chaotic. We are at different time points every second. In fact, we can think that we are drifting in the time slit. Outside the carriage is the constantly changing time tide. The plain we arrived at is just what we thought we would see, so we will come back immediately after jumping out, because the inside of the carriage and the outside of the carriage are not at the same point of time at all, and we cannot travel through time by ourselves."
Miss Broniance said, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, then threw it out of the car window:
"We can't, but there is no special ordinary paper. There is a certain probability that it can fall in the cracks of time and fall at a certain point in time. If someone can pick it up, maybe they can understand our current situation."
"But does it work?"
Miss Audrey asked worriedly.
"Of course it's useless, but it's never wrong to try your luck."
said Miss Broniance.
While talking, the ninth-level fortune-teller suddenly glanced back. Her eyes seemed to see through the back wall of the carriage, and even through the changing waves of time. This statement may be exaggerated, but Miss Audrey really thinks that her teacher has seen through this.
"Close your eyes and don't look at anything."
As he spoke, he actually pulled Miss Audrey into his arms, and covered her eyes with his palms.
The disappearance of vision made other senses more sensitive. Vaguely, Miss Audrey thought she heard a vague sound like reptiles wriggling from behind, and at the same time, the clearer sound was the metallic sound of giant machinery running. .
"Teacher, what's behind?"
"Don't think, don't think. Pray, Audrey, pray to our Lord."
Although she didn't understand what happened, Miss Audrey still prayed softly. This method easily diverted people's attention from trivial matters, so Miss Audrey never thought about the meaning of the rear sound after that.
It took half an hour before Miss Broniance let go of the hand covering Miss Audrey, and then gently pushed her out of her arms:
"Okay, it's gone."
Because of the warning just now, Miss Audrey didn't ask what "it" was. But she saw that her teacher was holding the [Vampire Buster] tightly. At the critical moment just now, she actually chose this dagger that has a special effect on vampires to protect the two of them:
"Could it be a vampire just now?"
Miss Audrey imagined the appearance of a mechanical vampire monster, and then heard a knock on the door of the carriage.
boom boom boom~
The knock on the door was quite polite, but neither Miss Audrey nor Miss Broniance dared to open the door. So the people outside the door got a little impatient and pushed the door open to come in.
Jenkins climbed into the carriage and sat next to his teacher, Miss Audrey, looking breathless.
"You... Jenkins at what time? Did you receive the teacher's letter?"
Miss Audrey was stunned for several seconds before she realized, she asked like this.
"What letter? No, I was chasing a big bug just now, a big metal bug."
He seemed to have recovered, sat up straight, and scratched his hair fiercely.
