"I have to say, Ryuji, you surprised me."
Alaya breathed a sigh of relief, even though Ryuji's answer was beyond her expectations, but as she said, Ryuji would definitely agree to this game in the end. Because she still held an absolute ace in her hand.
"What do you think about the existence of Heroic Spirits?" asked Alaya casually.
Ryuji's pupils shrank slightly, his fists clenched tightly, Alaya actually threatened him with a Heroic Spirit!
"I'm not threatening you, do you know why Gaia and I allowed Heroic Spirits to exist in this world?" Alaya asked with a smile.
Heroic Spirits were like nuclear weapons in the world, except for legendary Magus, almost no human could stand against them.
And the number of Heroic Spirits contracted by Ryuji is very large, if the matter of magic power is not considered, even dominating the world is not a problem.
Such a power capable of overturning the world existed in this world, and it was strange that the Counter Force didn't move at all.
"So you planned me from the start!" Ryuji said through gritted teeth.
At first, he had thought it was because of the existence of a mysterious system that kept the Counter Force silent, but it turned out that even that system was the work of the Counter Force.
Alaya was right, as long as she made this condition, Ryuji couldn't refuse it at all.
To Ryuji, the Heroic Spirits were like family members, perhaps a bit selfish, but he was absolutely unwilling to let them return to the Throne of Heroes.
"Giving up freedom for freedom?" Ryuji sighed, ever since he was reckoned with by the Counter Force, he had no way out.
"It's not like you gave up your freedom. While helping us, you will also benefit a lot," Alaya said seriously.
"I've said it from the start, we want to make a fair deal with you, you help us out of the 'world' and you get what you want."
Ryuji frowned, since he couldn't refuse, he had to accept, so he needed to know enough information.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" He asked.
Alaya nodded, and the topic finally got to the point.
"Does Ryuji know about parallel worlds?"
Ryuji nodded, the existence of a parallel world is not a secret, because the Second Magic of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg is to travel through a parallel world.
Seeing Ryuji nod, Alaya continued explaining the secrets of the world to him.
"The universe is multidimensional, and each multiuniverse is unique. There are many parallel worlds in this multiverse. Our universe has nine parallel worlds, and the world you live in is one of the nine parallel worlds."
Ryuji was a little surprised. Although he knew the existence of parallel universes, he didn't expect that there would be so many of them.
"What does this have to do with your escape from the cage?" Ryuji asked.
Alaya's eyes flashed, and she said: "It is this universe that binds us. If we could infiltrate our 'hands and feet' into other universes, wouldn't that be the way to break the cage?… Gaia and I thought so. "
"And as a Counter Force, we couldn't go to another multiverse, so we ended up choosing you."
Ryuji frowned and asked, "Why me? Since there are nine parallel worlds, it's easy to find someone who is better than me."
Alaya opened her small mouth slightly, and looked at Ryuji in surprise.
"You may have misunderstood the word 'amazing'. Excessive humility is pride. Not everyone can do things like save humanity. If there is such a thing as merit, your merit may be comparable to that of… Buddha."
After all, it saves all of humanity and preserves the future of humanity.
Ryuji put his chin to his mouth and muttered, "Sure enough, I was chosen by you because I was too good."
Alaya: "..."
Now that he had accepted the fact that the Counter Force needed him, Ryuji had also transformed back into a free character. After all, someone said that since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy it.
"Has anyone ever told you that you are narcissistic?"
"Thank You." Ryuji had his legs crossed, now that the Counter Force was asking him something, he had to be a bit more arrogant this time.
"So you want me to go to another universe, right?" He asked.
He quickly accepted this kind of thing, and considered it a new singularity.
Alaya shook her head and said: "It can be said that you must first obtain the Root of this world, and then go to another universe, use the Root of 'this world' to assimilate the Root of 'another', and attribute the other universe to it. 'our' rules."
"...You just said Root cause, right?" Ryuji's expression became ugly.
"That's right." Alaya nodded confusedly, "What is it?"
"Hey, it's a Root that all Magus desire, don't mention such an important thing in one sentence!" Not to mention getting Root, Ryuji had never even seen a hair from Root.
"Isn't that just Root? Right here, right under your feet." Alaya looked at Ryuji in disdain.
Ryuji lowered his head and looked down, his expression suddenly became very attractive.
