Free Web NovelChapter 2421: Chapter 2422: Attempt
Gladys originally thought that this war would simply require viewing those from other timelines as enemies. After all, even her own self from the Imperial Timeline was destined to be an enemy in her eyes. Yet, in the War Timeline, the one more likely to invade the Main World, there unexpectedly was Feng Yuan’s ally.
"The War Timeline isn’t an enemy?"
Suspiciously looking at Feng Yuan, Gladys tried to confirm if he was joking. Feng Yuan shrugged and said with a face full of helplessness,
"I didn’t say that. It’s just that Qi Chen from the War Timeline once fought alongside us, and when the Time Branch appeared, he also interacted with us. Umm, he’s quite different from you in the Imperial Timeline, at least I can sense that he has no interest in invading our timeline."
"Qi Chen from the War Timeline? Wait a minute!"
Mumbling, Gladys thought of something and looked at Feng Yuan with a face of terror, saying,
"Then, are you from the War and Imperial Timelines also enemies?"
Unlike Qi Chen and the others, although Gladys doesn’t frequently interact with Feng Yuan, she can vaguely feel, due to her foreknowledge of the future, that Feng Yuan is not as simple as they think. Or perhaps, Feng Yuan’s power is likely very strong, strong enough to not match his actual age.
If Feng Yuan from the Imperial and War Timelines joined the battle, it’s hard to tell who the final victor would be.
"Hmm, it should be impossible. These two timelines shouldn’t have my Parallel World existence."
Feng Yuan touched his chin as he spoke. After all, being Unique Throughout Time is not a joke. Apart from maintaining stability with his Illusion in the Time River, the chances of Feng Yuan existing in a Parallel World form in the other two timelines are almost zero.
"You didn’t come to me to ask about this, did you?"
Not wanting to dwell on the matter, Feng Yuan immediately changed the topic. He was a bit perplexed about what Gladys intended to do by seeking him out, it couldn’t just be for idle chat, right?
After a moment of silence, Gladys looked at Feng Yuan and said,
"I hope that during this period, you can take care of Mr. Yan for me."
"What?"
Confused, Feng Yuan looked at Gladys, not quite understanding what she meant, what does it mean to take care of Mr. Yan, could she be referring to Mr. Yan?
The opponent’s strength isn’t weak, why would they ask a student like him to provide protection?
Staring at Feng Yuan, Gladys solemnly said, fгeewebnovёl.com
"I intend to enter the Imperial Timeline to hunt down myself from the Imperial Timeline. If I let her continue using the ability to foresee the future against our people, I am afraid I cannot continue staying here."
Even though knowing it’s not her, the actions of Empire Gladys still pose considerable trouble for Gladys. As someone who also possesses prophecy ability, Gladys understands very well the potential destruction that can be brought about if this power is used without restraint.
Since the two are the same person from different timelines, even though knowing this matter is unrelated to Gladys from this timeline, many can’t help but take their anger out on her.
Frowning lightly, Feng Yuan looked at Gladys and said,
"What you’re about to do is very risky. I’m not afraid to tell you, I was also attacked today, but the attackers weren’t you from the Imperial Timeline, but the Mordan Clan or rather, the Mordan Clan from the Imperial Timeline."
"I believe you should understand that with your power alone, you simply can’t fight the entire Mordan Clan."
Feng Yuan doesn’t want Gladys to venture into the Imperial Timeline alone. After all, she is not him, and the consequences of such actions could very well lead to her demise in the Imperial Timeline.
"The Mordan Clan joining the war?"
Gladys was taken aback, her face turned somewhat grim as she couldn’t believe it. If the Mordan Clan truly joined this war, she wouldn’t really have the capability to deal with her counterpart from the Imperial Timeline.
"Do you think if a world-level war truly breaks out, the Mordan Clan would stand by idly?"
Glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan spoke. After a moment of silence, Gladys asked.
"Will they make another move against you?"
Saying this, Gladys drew her Divination Cards. Although the special nature of the Time Branch prevents her from directly predicting their actions, she can determine some things through a vague future.
Of course, the premise of doing so is to not require a high degree of accuracy in the answer, and what Gladys wants to know is just a vague answer.
Seeing Gladys begin her divination, Feng Yuan did not interrupt. Even without interference, the possibility of successfully divining a target across timelines is not high, but Gladys or rather the Mordan Clan’s divination ability is somewhat special. freёwebnovel.com
For some reason, their divination ability seems to surpass the conventional Time River. However, because their divination results are vague, Feng Yuan is not particularly concerned about it.
Feng Yuan even has some expectations for the result of Gladys’s divination. If she could really divine something, Feng Yuan might seriously consider the Mordan Clan, as this would exceed the conventional realm of prophecy ability.
After all, normal prophecy ability cannot carry out divinations across timelines, even Agunas would find it challenging to do so, let alone ordinary people.
This time, the divination took considerably more effort than before. Although Anna’s evolution provided substantial assistance, Gladys still did not use any additional auxiliary means, hence it took a while before she drew a strange Divination Card.
"A tilted scale? When did this get mixed in as an external card?"
Gladys looked at the drawn Divination Card puzzled and uncomprehendingly. The number of Divination Cards is extremely large, each divination uses a portion of them, meaning that each person utilizes a different deck each time, which allows the decks to produce different answer libraries.
These answer libraries can be used to address different situations and problems. If the query exceeds the deck’s answer library, boundary cards would be added, through which the Diviner can discern from which direction to obtain the answer.
However, regardless of the type of deck or even those insane giant card piles that lump all cards together, there shouldn’t randomly appear any extra Divination Cards.
"A fixed tilted scale? This, shouldn’t be a typical Divination Card, right?"
Curiously, Feng Yuan glanced at the card in Gladys’s hand. Due to the vastness of the Divination Card library, Feng Yuan couldn’t detail whether this card was among them, but he felt that it didn’t conform to the naming conventions of Divination Cards.
Normally, this card should draw three interconnected cards: Scale, Imbalance, and Solidification of these vague types. Such cards that almost directly provide answers are just too suspicious.
"This card doesn’t exist in all known decks, and this card..."
Holding the curious Divination Card with her fingers, Gladys looked at the back of the card, unlike her Divination Cards, the back of this card bore mysterious patterns, clearly indicating it did not belong to her deck.
"For a new card to suddenly appear, could this be a flaw inherent in cross-timeline divination?"
Gladys said this suspiciously but did not delve deeper into the issue, as she felt the divination process wasn’t interfered with, therefore the result should be normal.
However, despite being a bit clearer than her Divination Cards, what does the tilted scale signify? What she divined was the strength of the Imperial Mordan Clan people.
"This card cannot answer the content of my query, why?"
Staring at the Divination Card in her hand, Gladys was perplexed. Just then, the Divination Card suddenly self-ignited and turned to ashes disappearing before them.
"Sure there’s no external interference?"
Feng Yuan skeptically glanced at Gladys. That card was just too strange. Could this truly be an inevitable anomaly arising from cross-timeline divination?
"There shouldn’t be any, I’ll try again."
Gladys said as she began divining anew. Divination Cards don’t restrict querying the same question only once, although typically each time the result will be identical, hence generally no one bothers to divine the same question multiple times.
But this divination was peculiar. Gladys decided to try again, if another strange card appeared, perhaps some peculiar force was influencing her divination outcomes.
As for what the peculiar force is, Gladys doesn’t know, but she feels that Feng Yuan might be able to detect something.
