update icon Updated at 2025/6/12 11:10:12

As she spoke, the witch felt dozens of auras getting closer and closer, and then she glanced at Elsa's fading vitality and felt a little annoyed.

"Even though so much vitality has been drained, she's just turned pale. Your demon race is really an unreasonable species."

"..."

Elsa wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything because her consciousness was becoming weaker and weaker.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door of the room was kicked open from the outside. Green walked in first, followed by soldiers who quickly rushed in. After discovering Elsa and the witch, they became alert, surrounding the two of them.

Green gestured for everyone not to move, then his gaze fell on the white-haired Elsa, staring at her for several seconds without recognizing her as the granddaughter of the Demon King.

Since Green didn't continue speaking, no one else in the room made any sudden movements. However, the soldiers remained vigilant and quickly crowded among various books, surrounding Elsa and the witch.

"It's so crowded here... Oh well, it doesn't matter."

Green took a few steps forward and stared at the so-called "witch" for a few seconds. The furrow on his brow deepened, as if he had discovered some strange species.

The witch was annoyed at being treated as a novelty.

But at this moment, Green uttered a sentence that made her even more annoyed but sounded quite natural.

"Are you... the witch? But you don't look like a woman, is she?"

Green curiously pointed at Elsa, who also recognized Green but couldn't even ask for help. She felt completely drained and powerless.

Green also noticed this, but didn't think much of it. Instead, he commented by himself.

"Indeed, you look more like a witch, but why do you seem barely clinging to life? Were you retaliated against by enemies?"

The witch's face became increasingly sinister as she looked at Green.

To intrude into his territory so casually and act so arrogantly was simply intolerable.

So, the witch finally took action.

"I don't know how you found your way here, but since you're here, you might as well stay and contribute to my plans."

After saying that, the witch aimed her palm at Green, and a complex energy surged towards him, instantly impacting his entire body.

This power was indeed formidable, even surprising Green a little, but it confirmed the identity of the witch for him.

Tia also felt it. The witch's magic power was very similar to the aura she had encountered on the previous monsters. She could almost confirm that those monsters were created by the witch.

"So you are the so-called witch."

Green's muscles exerted a little force, easily withstanding the witch's attack. This one attack also allowed Green to roughly grasp the witch's strength.

"Manipulating time, huh? But it seems like you're not very skilled at it."

Being a man who had come into contact with the Time Stone, Green felt that the weak time power hitting him was almost like being hit by tiny water droplets, without any damage at all.

Perhaps because Green easily blocked the attack, or perhaps because he revealed the witch's ability, the witch's mind began to waver, but soon he regained his composure.

The witch's eyes started to dart around, carefully observing the positions of each soldier and establishing the distance between himself and Green. Gradually, he became more confident, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Time... Stagnation!"

After silently reciting these words in his mind, the witch saw the world he observed lose all color, and everyone except himself was frozen in place, motionless, even maintaining their previous expressions.

Confirming that his time manipulation ability had successfully activated, the witch walked slowly to Green's side.

"Sorry, blame it on this world."

There was a hint of obscure apology in the witch's gaze.

But when he thought that the plan was only one step away from success, he strengthened his determination and his gaze turned cold.The witch slowly placed her hand on Green's chest, and then a visible energy surged into his vision. The translucent energy rotated and condensed towards his palm like flowing water.

But when he tried to extract Green's time, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't activate the power of time. He was stunned by this phenomenon that he had never encountered before. Soon, he thought of a possibility, and when he met Green's eyes, his guess became apparent.

In this colorless world, Green, who was originally frozen, suddenly moved his eyes. Although it was inconspicuous, the witch noticed it. It was at this moment that he realized a terrifying fact - Green was not affected by his power to stop time at all, but was only acting in coordination with him.

At this moment, Green's previous surprised words echoed in his mind - "Controlling time? But you seem to be inexperienced in using it."

The scene finally froze on Green's slightly disdainful expression.

At the same time, the witch was surprised to find that Green, who had been "frozen," was still staring at him with the same expression. He could no longer maintain his previous calmness, and Green, under his incredulous gaze, took a step towards him. As he walked, he also looked up at the surrounding books.

Green's actions made him feel an uneasy feeling, and it eventually became a reality. He saw Green directly blast the entire bookshelf with his hand, instantly annihilating most of the books in the room. However, due to the time freeze, the books did not scatter everywhere but maintained their original appearance.

But once time returned to normal, everything here would instantly burst into chaos. By then, most of the books in this room would probably be impossible to read properly.

Thinking of this, the witch felt a heartache.

"Studying time is not a good thing, it can only bring destruction."

Remembering what the Reaper Lolita had said before, along with the advice from his parallel self, casually manipulating time would only bring disaster and destruction. So Green's words not only intended to scare the witch, but also stirred up his emotions.

"You're talking nonsense!"

After blurting out this curse, the witch hastily climbed to his feet and ran towards the other side of the room, pressing a button, which immediately opened a hidden door next to it. He quickly entered and released the time freeze along with it.

At the same time as the witch entered the hidden passage, the source energy suppressed by time burst open, causing a gust of wind in the room and blowing up books all over the place. Because of the momentary freeze, Tia and the others only saw a blur, and not only did the witch disappear out of thin air, but a small explosion also occurred in the room.

When Elsa saw the flying books in the room, she was stunned. She came here because she was ordered by her grandfather, the Demon King, to retrieve some stolen books. But from the current situation, it was highly likely that she would return empty-handed, and she also ended up in such a miserable situation.

As Elsa thought about it, tears of humiliation slowly ran down her cheeks, but they were wiped away by a pair of warm hands. Opening her eyes, she realized that Green had somehow walked over and was looking at her curiosity.

"Are you okay? ... By the way, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"Uh... uh-uh..."

Hearing these words, Elsa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. If she returned to the Demon Realm like this, she would definitely be heavily beaten by her grandfather, the Demon King. However, now that Green, who could defeat her grandfather, appeared in front of her, how could Elsa not be moved to tears?

After wiping her cheeks a few times and trying hard not to let herself shed tears, Elsa looked at Green with hopeful eyes and said something that puzzled him.

"You're a good person, right?"

"What are you trying to achieve? Just say it."

"In fact, we have met before, so I want to ask you for a favor..."

"..."

Seeing the silver-haired girl in front of him suddenly acting coy, Green suddenly had the feeling of being taken advantage of. Fortunately, his brain wasn't so absurd yet, and after communicating with Elsa for a moment, he finally recognized her identity.At this moment, Elsa was kneeling on the ground, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Green with a pitiful gaze, which made Green feel speechless.

In their brief conversation, Tia also learned that the two of them knew each other before. Although she wanted to ask the man why he suddenly disappeared, she didn't want to interrupt their conversation.

So she could only wait on the side, but the more she looked at Elsa, the more annoyed she felt.

Why does this woman give off a fox spirit vibe?

Even... even...

It made Tia doubt her own sexual orientation...

Fortunately, Green understood Elsa's race characteristics and naturally knew this guy was trying to seduce her, so he silently took out the "little" hammer that had caused her psychological trauma before, and Elsa became obedient.

"Speaking of which, you look pretty good like this. Why not keep this appearance?"

"No! You're just pretending to be nice. Actually, you're just annoyed by me, right? This appearance was exchanged with my life... sob... I don't want to die so soon!"

As she spoke, Elsa actually pounced on Green's thigh, seemingly determined to cling to him.

"Please, please save me!"

Looking at Elsa's pitiful and teary face, Green also started to feel guilty. After all, Elsa was originally good-looking and a succubus. Now she was acting so pitifully, ordinary men couldn't resist.

So here's the question, is Green an ordinary man?

The answer is clearly no.

This can be seen from Green's action of kicking Elsa away.

"Consider it compensation for destroying your demonic books. Later, I'll catch that man and let you deal with him, okay?"

Upon hearing Green's words, Elsa, who was originally desperate, immediately nodded eagerly. As long as Green, who was stronger than the Demon King, was willing to take action, the matter would definitely be resolved.

At least in Elsa's mind, Green was someone worth trusting.

Green sighed helplessly, thinking that Elsa, as a demon, is really naive. He had met her twice and didn't see any signs of her being astute.

But since their goals coincided, it wasn't a big problem to help her along the way.

So, after ordering the soldiers and Tia to stay in place, Green went alone to the place where the witch disappeared.
