"Can't help?" No one present expected what 005 said.
In their memory, 005 has always been omnipotent, and there are very few things she cannot handle, but now she says such words.
It turned out that without realizing it, the gap between Charles and 005 had narrowed so much.
Charles' brows gradually furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to her, "Give me back what I exchanged for it. These three sentences are not worth a wish."
However, in the face of Charles's request, 005 did not give it.
"Don't worry, I'm just saying I can't help you in terms of ability, but if you want to achieve your goal, I can give you some constructive suggestions."
As she spoke, the wish ball in her hand gradually disappeared, and 005 looked at Lily, who was spreading gentle sunshine in the air.
She gently stretched out her right hand and pinched the air, picking up the sun directly in her hand and playing with it like a ping-pong ball.
"No matter how it looks on the outside, at the end of the day she is just a part of Futan, and her potential is limited. Limited potential cannot reverse infinite time."
Having said this, the eyes wrapped in black bandages looked at Charles, "But you are different. Your potential is unlimited. If there is anyone who can reverse the time of Earthsea, it must be you. Even I can't do it."
"I can't." Charles certainly thought about doing it himself, and if he could have done so he would have done it long ago.
"The knowledge of controlling time is too vast. I am like a kettle that is almost full of water. I am afraid that if I just learn the beginning, I will grow into Yidik."
005 hung the ping-pong ball-sized ball of light in his hand into the air, and the huge and magnificent sun came back again. The dazzling sunlight cast two long black shadows on the ground to the right of 005 and Charles.
"Of course I know, so my constructive suggestion is that you can eat this little sun and make her one of your organs, and then freeze the time of your body at the second before you become Yidik."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them felt their hearts tighten. Eat Lily
"Yes, eat her and fuse her into an organ in your body. Only in this way can you have the method to control time and free up time to do other things."
Lily was much calmer than Charles expected, "Mr. Charles, if it can save everyone, then I am willing to do it."
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to her first." Charles had a hunch that 005 could provide help in this matter.
"Then I will be able to gain the power to reverse time in Earthsea?"
"No, Idik's power is still not enough to reverse the time of the entire Earthsea world, so you need to take a gamble from now on."
Charles was really confused by 005's words, but he didn't ask any more questions and waited for the other party to continue.
"You need to absorb enough power in an instant. Lily is this power. Use this opportunity to break through the barrier and become a higher-dimensional being than Yidik. If you are lucky and have a good success rate, you can gain the ability to reverse time."
"A higher-dimensional existence, will I still have the humanity and thinking I have now?" Charles immediately grasped the key point of the question. Yidick had discarded all his humanity, not to mention a higher dimension.
"Yeah, that's why I said that you need to be lucky. The bet is the time it takes for your humanity to disappear. If you are lucky, you can complete the reversal of Earthsea time while still having a little bit of humanity."
"If it succeeds, the entire Earthsea world will be protected. If it fails, then Earthsea will have a new god."
"What kind of opinion is this? This method is something you just made up on the spur of the moment." Charles strongly disagreed with 005's unreliable suggestion. The risk was too high.
"No, this is not something I came up with on the spur of the moment. In fact, this is a method that someone else has used before, but he just failed."
005's body began to gradually become transparent, fulfilling Charles' wish without any sincerity, and she was about to leave.
No matter what happened in Earthsea, it meant nothing in her eyes, and she was always just a passer-by.
"You said before that you wanted to do everything you could to fulfill your employer's wishes, right? Since you know the origin of this special method, shouldn't you do everything you can to help me?"
Charles was a little unwilling to let the opponent go like this. 005 could be said to be the only foreign aid he had found.
"Actually I can't. As I said before, this part of me in Earthsea is only a small part of my true self. This part is too weak to help you at all on the time level."
"As for letting my real body come to help you, it can indeed increase the success rate of this method, but you can't afford that kind of price. If you measure it with wish balls, you need at least 10."
"10." Charles stood there, saying such a thing would be worse than rejecting it directly. He had nothing left to buy now, and 10 wish balls were simply impossible.
"That's not what you told me before."
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Everything is changing, isn't it?"
In the end, 005 left, and the three "people" present looked at each other silently.
It is not known whether this method is feasible, but she did provide a solution, and it seems that Charles now has only this option.
"Mr. Charles, I am willing. If it can protect everyone, I really am willing." Lily's voice was full of determination.
"No!" Faced with this method, Shanshan's attitude was unusually tough, and anger appeared on her delicate and fair face for the first time.
"Dad, let's go and let Lily take us back to the past! There was plenty of time in the past for us to think of various solutions!"
Of course she knew what the outcome of this method would be. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, her father would disappear.
Charles shook his head in disapproval. "No, hiding blindly is useless. We can only try this. As long as we succeed, we will completely defeat Futan!"
"But you will really die!" Shanshan's eyes began to turn red.
Charles looked down at his flesh and blood body, a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Since I'm going to die, then I'll die. To be honest, I've lost too much. What's the point of living like this?"
Charles tried hard to recall the past, trying to find something worth remembering, but he found that he had nothing in his heart except his reluctance to leave his daughter.
"What about me! You're dead! What should I do!" Tears slid down Shanshan's face and she grabbed her clothes with both hands.
