Chapter 146 Sisters in Battle!
"Lost?" Luo Xi's lips curled up in a playful smile. She was indeed looking forward to seeing how her younger sister planned to defeat her in the world of consciousness.
The consciousness walk was initiated again, but this time the movement did not reach the location Luo Xi had anticipated.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she instantly understood: "Just now you were only defending and not attacking, seemingly dodging, but actually you were using spacetime interference to set up traps around us?"
"Yes," Luo Xin said, her expression unchanged. "The spatial creations I made using spacetime interference, whether they are spatial shields or this kind of spatial framework, cannot be broken by attacks that do not reach the level of a high-level witch."
In the world of consciousness, there was now an invisible framework constructed by Luo Xin. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, Luo Xi could clearly perceive its existence as she released her magic.
"I knew from the beginning that you would pull me into your domain, the world of consciousness," Luo Xin said calmly. "This doesn't require the help of spacetime interference to perceive; it can be deduced simply by thinking about it. So, I've been thinking about how to trap you here in return."
Luo Xi listened quietly to her sister's explanation with a smile on her face.
"So, I wove a cage, a cage made of a spatial framework constructed by spacetime interference," Luo Xin continued. "After several teleportations, you indeed entered the cage with me. When I teleported out, you were already imprisoned in the spatial cage I created."
"Not bad, you know how to think during battle," Luo Xi praised. "You even prepared a strategy to deal with me before the fight even started."
As she spoke, Luo Xi activated her consciousness movement again, her figure flashing in several locations in succession. After confirming her situation, she stopped.
"You are now in a spatial cage that is forty meters long, forty meters wide, and forty meters high," Luo Xin explained calmly. "It will gradually shrink over time. As the size decreases, the cage's strength will increase. This is both a technique to trap enemies and a killing move."
"But," she changed the subject, "I won't use it to kill you... All I need to do now is break free of my consciousness, return to reality, and then push you a hundred meters away, and I'll win."
"Before sparring with you, I consulted Rose, hoping she could help me deduce all the methods you might use against me. I felt a little guilty about it," Luo Xi said with a smile, "because it felt a bit like cheating. But..."
"As soon as Rose used her Fate Perception, she discovered that you were also using spacetime interference to observe different battle outcomes. And you would deduce based on these 'failures' to adjust your strategies," Luo Xi smiled. "Tell me, would you call that cheating?"
"I don't think so." Luo Xin shook her head, while continuing to attack the structure of the consciousness world with her hands. "After all, I also sought her out, wanting to find a way to win."
"So, we should have both anticipated this situation," Luo Xi said calmly, watching her sister still focused on attacking the world of consciousness. "Your spatial cage has cracks, doesn't it?"
Luo Xin's expression suddenly changed: "What are you going to do?"
Yes, the spatial cage does have a gap, about half a centimeter wide. An ordinary person—no, even a regular witch below the high level—would have no chance of escaping from it. But…
That's Luo Xi!
"No!" Luo Xin said decisively, "I give up."
Yes, Luo Xin integrated her memories from other timelines. In one similar scene, the initial state of Xi was also trapped in a similar cage. At that time, Luo Xi cut herself into extremely thin strips and squeezed out through the gaps.
In Luo Xin's unique perception of spacetime interference, she knew that Luo Xi would also break free from the spatial prison she had created in the same way.
This approach is too extreme.
Although the influence of the rose has restrained Luo Xi's inner madness and extreme behavior, she still maintains a kind of almost absolute rationality and extreme madness. This state is most obvious in the initial state of 'Xi'. Although the Luo Xi in front of us is not that same person, she still retains similar characteristics.
How could someone who thinks of wiping out one-tenth of the population to coerce the world be a good person?
She was unsure how to face Luo Xi in front of her, because with memories from other timelines, Luo Xin clearly remembered that in the timeline where the initial Luo Xi was, she was killed by Luo Xi.
She had thought that this time she could change the current situation with "Xi", but... judging from Luo Xi's current performance, similar things are likely to happen again, and they may become enemies again.
Can she really bring her brother back? Or should she choose another path, become Luo Xi's enemy, and stand completely against her?
Luo Xi looked at her sister, who had decisively removed the spatial cage, and asked with a smile, "Did you see what I'm about to do? Are you afraid of me?"
The younger sister did not answer. Seeing this, Luo Xi simply shook her head and then led her younger sister, Luo Xin, away from the world of consciousness and back to the real world.
Upon returning to the real world, Luo Xin, who had been silent all along, immediately spoke up: "Brother, you lost!"
Luo Xi said helplessly, "Why don't you take a look at where you are?"
"Huh?" Luo Xin's expression changed as she looked at "herself" outside the arena, then she understood. "Give me back my body!!!"
That's right. While pulling her sister into the world of consciousness, Luo Xi also released the magic property activation. This is a magic property that belongs to the material interference category. She used activation to give certain objects around her the ability to move and issued an order to take her sister's body out of the field. This was her original plan.
However, the intelligence of the substance driven by the activation property is limited, and it cannot understand complex instructions such as "move the sister's body out of the field". Therefore, Luo Xi can only specify a location and let the activated substance move the things there further away.
Originally, when Luo Xi returned to reality, she planned to go directly back to her own body. However, considering that Luo Xin possessed the magical property of interfering with spacetime, which might be used to change the position of their bodies, she transferred her consciousness into her sister Luo Xin's body the moment she returned.
As expected, Luo Xin used time and space to swap their bodies, which resulted in her own body being sent out of the arena.
If Luo Xi had returned to her original body, she would have already lost. But now, her sister's consciousness is inside her body, while her body is outside the arena!
"You're quite cunning. You really did secretly switch places," Luo Xi said, manipulating her sister's body. "By the way, your body is really weak. It hasn't reached the limit of E-rank at all. Your magic power is still gaseous and not solid... Never mind, let's discuss the issue of winning or losing first."
"...You scoundrel, give me back my body!" Luo Xin, the younger sister who was standing outside the arena with her body on top of her, rushed back, baring her teeth and claws!
