Chapter 1423: Chapter 1253: An Unexpected Encounter

Is Leon the ’external force’ that changes destiny?

After listening to the explanation from Frederica No. 2, the old yellow cow was surprised and blinked its eyes wide. However, after pondering for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the most reasonable explanation.

There are indeed too many strange aspects about Leon, and he also has a host of strange abilities that are incomprehensible, coupled with peculiar ideas that differ from most people... In short, he really does seem like an "outsider."

"Moo moo? (So after you find him, what do you plan to do?)"

"I plan to burn everything of myself to send him back to the farthest past."

"?!!!"

Under the shocked gaze of the old yellow cow, Frederica No. 2 closed her eyes and said:

"All the roots on a timeline will be used as fuel, plus I, who have ’lived’ from the past to the present and traversed all time as a beacon, is enough to send him back to the very beginning.

People who wander within destiny cannot change destiny, but those who come from outside of destiny are different. If I can send him back to the earliest past and have ’destiny’ complete her research ahead of time, perhaps everything will turn out differently."

"Moo... (And you...)"

"I just said, I am the ’beacon’ guiding his journey and also the ’fuel’ to send him back to the past, and the result of the fuel is naturally just ashes."

"Moo... Moo moo? (You mean... you’ll die? Why are you doing this?)"

"Maybe because I regret it?"

Feeling the fourteen roots that completely quieted down after she left her original timeline, and recalling that world which had completely stagnated and withered, Frederica No. 2 couldn’t help but reopen her eyes with a somewhat complicated self-mocking expression:

"Perhaps I never recognized myself, the real me is more cruel than I imagined, but also weaker than I thought... Alright, that’s all I need to tell you, and I’ve already told you, Huang, you should take me to find him now."

"Moo?"

Facing Frederica No. 2’s urging, the old yellow cow couldn’t help but shiver slightly, then responded with a confused moo.

What are you talking about? Aren’t I already taking you to find Leon?

"Don’t play dumb."

After patting the old yellow cow’s somewhat sweaty back, Frederica No. 2 said helplessly:

"I raised you personally. You may look honest and straightforward, but you have a lot of tricky ideas in your heart... Huang, the time torrent you brought me into is not the same one that Leon went to, right?"

"Moo... (Hehe...)"

People make mistakes, cows step wrong, sorry I just took the wrong path... But it’s no big deal, I didn’t go that far off, it’s just slightly off.

After giving Frederica No. 2 an embarrassed moo, the old yellow cow slowly turned its body and did not exit the new timeline, but instead switched to a nearby timeline, trying hard to push its head out, and then led Frederica No. 2 out together.

Since this time, Leon did not get "sent" back but instead entered a new timeline voluntarily, he was not "located" at Ring Time Mountain. Likewise, Frederica No. 2 and the old yellow cow, who followed him, did not appear at Ring Time Mountain but appeared in a city.

The sunlight shines, the breeze is just right, on the clean and spotless street, many walking demons are in a hurry... wait? Isn’t there something not quite right?

Seeing the demons on the street wearing human clothes, imitating human manners, and even walking in a ’human-like’ manner, the Frederica and cow duo couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

And when they followed the direction these demons were heading and saw the exaggerated statue in the giant square in the center of the city, even Frederica No. 2 was taken aback.

No... are you sure you just walked a tiny bit off?

Looking at the statue of Leon in the distance, extending his hand with a thumbs-up and showing off a brilliant white smile, Frederica couldn’t help but frown once more, then asked:

"He just entered this timeline not long ago, right? How is there already a statue of him? Did you mistakenly enter a future several decades later?"

"..."

I don’t know, Leon’s soul fragment pointed right here...

Also confused, after looking at Leon’s giant statue, the old yellow cow, being somewhat familiar with Leon, suddenly reacted and quickly explained:

"Moo moo moo moo! (No, no! This isn’t the Leon we were chasing, this is another Leon, the Leon originally from this timeline!)"

Another Leon... Indeed, just judging from the statue, it feels a bit different. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Looking at the lavishly dressed Leon statue in the square, grinning broadly, Frederica No. 2 couldn’t help but nod slightly, acknowledging the old yellow cow’s judgment, then inquired:

"Then there’s no need to worry about it. Currently, only your Leon is confirmed as the ’external force.’ Our primary target is still him... What about the soul fragment in your hand? Where is he?"

Where is Leon?

Feeling the state of that part of the soul fragment and realizing it had once again quieted down, with a faint feeling of detaching from the world, the old yellow cow couldn’t help but awkwardly say:

"Moo moo moo moo... Moo moo? (It seems like he left again, possibly because we arrived a little late. He didn’t find a way home here, so he went to another timeline... But this isn’t Ring Time Mountain, how did he go to another timeline?)"
