Suddenly I'm back in my basement.
"..."
"...You've returned, traitor." I see an inverted Origami chained by strange black chains.
'It has the same Reiryoku as Mukuro.' These chains are not mine, I see that this Origami has an absurd amount of Reiryoku.
She also seems much darker than the Origami from the past.
'So this is the world with the altered timeline?' I grab my phone to research the news from the past year.
'Inverted Sky Incident?' I start reading the news.
"In the south Pacific 5 years ago, an area equivalent to a city was turned upside down, the ocean could be seen close to space while weather instruments detected changes in the atmospheric layers."
It seems that satellites ended up capturing the scene of my "test," I discovered how to use Reversion without distance limit, my territory was the problem, so I sacrificed it for more range.
'Why does this Origami call me a traitor?'
"So Origami, could you explain the situation?" I ask this Dark version Origami.
"You deceived me, isn't it obvious? I thought we were friends, but it was you who killed my parents...why did you lie to me?"
"Origami, do you remember how your parents died?"
"You killed them in an attack," she says slightly irritated.
'This Origami doesn't remember the past world? Is it because I killed the Origami from the past?' I expected this Origami to kind of merge with the one from the past like in the anime, but no, there is only 1 of them.
And the one that exists is the child version of this world, the same version that I "helped" and put in an illusion, so from her perspective we are friends.
"Mukuro, are you there?" I call for my "little sister."
"Yes brother, do you need anything?" Mukuro opens the door and comes in.
"Do you remember the past world?" I ask.
"Yes, I remember. Thanks to that, I was even able to take revenge, as soon as I obtained my spirit powers, I remembered everything."
'So this Mukuro killed her parents.' The world has changed a lot.
This Origami now is more well-behaved than the old one, but she is clearly more dangerous.
'The Sephira didn't come with me...' The "Sephira" I obtained from the Origami of the past has completely disappeared as soon as I came to the new timeline.
'According to the date, it's still close to the school festival.' I start checking various things.
'Notebook?' I read, it seems to be notes from my self in this timeline.
'It seems that from the point where I awakened Belial, he noticed that we had changed the world.' I seem to have been very cautious at the beginning because everything was different from the anime.
In addition, I started taking notes on the changes, which helps a lot. I read while ignoring Origami, Mukuro watches me as I look at the various notes.
My first encounter with Shido changed, and Shido seems to have remembered the old world early on, that is, in the first encounter between my self in this world and Shido, Shido reacted in a strange way.
It seems that I still followed the plan to turn Shido into Shiori, and it seems to have worked, in general most of the things fit with things I did, although my self in this world prepared a lot of money and items.
In addition, it discovered ways to better use the powers of Reversion along with Belial.
'What a great idea, using Belial on myself to make illusions real and thus obtain things.' It's almost the ability to create things out of nothing, although it proved to have some limits.
The biggest problem I see in the new world is that things are happening with a lot of general changes, for example the "incident" involving the ocean, which has made Isaac Westcott interested in me since my first appearance in this world.
And records about my existence existed even before I appeared in this world, which put my self in this world in trouble early on, precisely because they were prepared to a certain extent.
My self in this timeline had one arm ripped off by Origami using the rifle, while I when I faced Origami's rifle only had some internal damage to my arm.
The biggest problem in general was related to the fact that I went out destroying cities, in this world when I did that it attracted unwanted attention and almost had me captured.
Apparently my self in this timeline tried to do this earlier, which resulted in me being weaker and inexperienced, leading to my near capture.
Maybe if Ellen had appeared, I would have lost.
'I seem to be stronger...' Although the plans of my self in this timeline have been risky, he has succeeded in most of them, leaving me much stronger than the me from the old world.
Also, the Tokisaki Kurumi in this world helped in a more appropriate way, considering that at the beginning I saw her as an enemy and she saw me as a potential enemy.
In this timeline, I still saw her as an enemy, but she saw me as an ally.
From what I see, it was also thanks to her strange actions that I started taking notes, precisely because she appeared to me in the first few days after I surfaced.
'I bet she took advantage of this time to investigate me...'
"Aurelio, tell me what you plan to do with me?" My daydreaming is interrupted by Origami's question.
"...Probably kill you," I say without daydreaming, but it seems harder to take Qlipha from her.
'Did I need Mukuro to imprison her?'
"Mukuro, why are you chaining her with these chains?" I question.
"Origami has acquired an ability that she didn't have in the past, so you thought it best that I keep her chained, while holding her heart hostage."
So it's not that I can't imprison her, but that she has become a variable that can escape if I imprison her.
"Brother, do you need anything?"
"No, let's go." I have to check this "new world" with my own eyes, after all nothing is better than seeing to know.
While looking at social media, it seems that the Sakasama no sora (Inverted Sky) had quite a repercussion, unlike the fire caused by Kotori that was considered an accident, mine was an event that could not be said to be purely natural or an accident.
The repercussion was so great that they couldn't stop the population from knowing about it, so what they did was give an excuse that a space earthquake generated a gravitational disturbance in the area.
Which didn't quite stick, because many other tremors have already occurred but none have caused such a thing.
There are several forums and groups on the internet that make theories related to this.
Another problematic thing is that my self in this timeline already has Artemisia Bell Ashcroft as an enemy, although my self in this timeline has never fought with Ellen, he has fought with Artemisia.
'She seems pretty strong.' My self in this timeline had trouble dealing with her, my lack of martial skills made the fight boil down to raw power and strategy against speed and refinement.
It can be said that it was a tie, because my self in this timeline was still weak and both sides had to retreat after receiving severe damage.
'This means that Ellen could have killed my self in this timeline.' I wonder if my self now can easily kill Ellen or not.
Because my self in this timeline had the same range problem as me, in addition, my self in this timeline discovered that our barriers are weaker than those of normal spirits.
Ping
"Shiori..." A message from Shiori, from what I read in the notes, the beginning of our friendship was super "strange" because the male Shido remembered things as a woman.
This made him act in a strange way almost 100% of the time when he was around me, and this only improved when Shido became Shiori again.
At this time, my self in this timeline didn't know about the time travel yet, so he was surprised that Shiori accepted the gender change very well.
Which makes sense, because when I changed Shido's gender, he had a breakdown, cried, and took a long time to recover and didn't even recover 100%.
'It took me longer than expected to discover the change in time.' My self in this world may have attributed blame to the fact that this world is not the anime, so my self in this world took longer to find the right answer.
'Kurumi didn't even try to warn me.' I don't know why Kurumi didn't tell me, although I probably would have distrusted her, and maybe even made things worse.
Strangely, I feel a much greater power boost than expected, it may be the fault of cause and effect, my appearance in the past has generated effects related to the death of many people.
This cause and effect has generated Karma for me. And it seems that I was held responsible for indirect deaths, for example people that Spirit Origami killed, part of the Karma went to me.
Precisely because this current dark version of Origami is my fault.
Even her personality is totally different from the one seen in the anime, in the anime the first one hides her emotions and has a cold facade, while loving Shido. And the second Origami is more casual like a normal girl.
This Origami that has emerged is neither of the two, she has a heavy and cold aura, but a darker and more distrustful tone.
She doesn't scream like the first Origami, and her eyes don't have a hateful tone, but more a tone of someone who was betrayed by those she trusted.
'I'll leave her Qlipha for later, it will be difficult to take it now.' I should focus on stealing Miku's Sephira.
