Chapter 1871 The Spatial Structure of the Detective Conan World, and the Possible Mastermind Behind

Chapter 1871 The Spatial Structure of the Detective Conan World, and the Possible Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Kaito Kuroba was immersed in the excitement and novelty of mastering supernatural power for the first time. He repeatedly tried the rough but real spatial manipulation and felt the wonderful touch of his fingertips causing ripples in space.

However, as he calmed down a bit, his gaze inadvertently swept over the familiar furnishings in the room.

Looking at the bookshelves, the desk, the hanging hang glider, and the scattered playing cards, an indescribable feeling of unease, like a subtle electric current, quietly crept across his spine.

He abruptly stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly, and carefully examined his surroundings.

Visually, everything appears normal.

Thanks to the initial optimization of his body by his spatial abilities, his vision became clearer and sharper than ever before.

He can see the wear and tear on the spine of every book on the bookshelf, count the lines of the curtain fabric, and even detect the dust particles floating in the air.

Every item in the room was clearly visible to him, and there was nothing unusual about it.

But the feeling is completely different.

A deep spatial intuition, derived from his spatial abilities and transcending the five senses, was sending him extremely faint yet persistent strange signals.

This feeling was very peculiar; it wasn't that I saw anything, but rather that I "felt" something incongruous.

In his "perception," the space around him, which he had lived in for more than a decade and was so familiar with, seemed to have an "overly "flat" structure.

Moreover, he felt the same way when he tried to extend his spatial perception further, attempting to reach the blocks and air outside the room.

In other words, it's not just his room, but also the area outside the room.

"What's happening here?"

"How could the spatial structure of my world be like this?"

Kaito Kuroba wondered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

This sense of unease was not strong, as faint as background noise. If he hadn't fused with spatial abilities, and if the nature of those abilities hadn't been so advanced, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Kaito Kuroba frowned, slowly withdrawing his spatial perception, but the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

He repeatedly savored the sense of incongruity of the "too flat" and "rigidly orderly" space, and a guess related to the "characteristics" of the world he was in gradually surfaced in his mind.

Is it because of the time?

"Is it because time in my world stopped flowing normally after Shinichi Kudo became Conan that I have this feeling?"

In the scientific definition, time is a measure of the continuity and sequence of the movement of matter, and is a tool for human cognition.

In the world's own "underlying rules," there is no independently flowing "river" called "time."

The so-called "time" is more like a "sequential marker" of events and a manifestation of "accumulated changes".

"Space and time, at a higher level, are essentially one, just like the 'spacetime continuum' mentioned in the chat group."

"Changes in space affect the perception of time, and the passage of time also leaves traces in space. They are interdependent and inseparable."

Thinking about this, Kaito Kuroba felt he had grasped the key!

“In Minecraft, the ‘jump’ time flow may essentially be a distortion or compression of the world rules in the presentation of ‘event sequence’ and ‘accumulated change’.”

"This distortion cannot act on 'time' itself in isolation; it must also affect the spatial structure that is closely connected to it!"

"Is the space I perceive as 'too flat' precisely because the flow of time in the entire world is in a state of high regulation and lack of natural randomness?"

“The elements in all things in the universe that should naturally change with time and leave ‘traces’ in space may have been forcibly ‘smoothed out’ by the rules that maintain the ‘long timeline’ in my world!”

"That's why the spatial structure appears so 'clean,' so 'orderly,' and even so 'fake'!"

Although all of this was just Kaito Kuroba's speculation, he felt that this might really be the reason.

However, there was one thing he was still quite curious about: was his world simply like this, or was there someone behind the scenes doing it to achieve a certain goal?
If it's the latter, why?
Is it simply because people want to see what happens after Shinichi Kudo becomes Conan?

But if that's the case, why is it that in the other world of Shinichi Kudo and Shiho Miyano in the chat group, they have already returned to their original forms, yet the timeline remains the same?

Is there an unknown gaze watching him now?
"It's really curious."

A slight smile appeared on Kaito Kuroba's lips.

Nervous? Not at all. He's already joined the chat group, what's there to be nervous about? Is he fighting alone?

Rather, he actually hoped that there was a mastermind behind everything, so that when they were strong enough, they could take him as prey and then recycle him for rewards.

"Hopefully his strength will increase, then the reward level will be better."

Naruto World.

Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a vast amount of chakra that was as thick as a substance and emitted a pale purple glow.

He had just completed the fusion of the mission reward, which was a "partial increase" in the concentration of his Otsutsuki bloodline, resulting from the recycling of the "rule analysis system".

At this moment, he was carefully experiencing the changes occurring deep within his body.

The most direct feeling is simply an increase in lifespan!

However, this is the thing he cares about the least, since he had already obtained a near-eternal lifespan a long time ago, and the aging rate of both his body and soul had been slowed down to a near standstill.

Then there's the increase in chakra within his body, but this is the same for him as well.

The power of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan was also enhanced, and various eye techniques improved as the power of the eye increased.

But that's about it.

Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes, and his Rinnegan and Tenseigan seemed to contain the reflection of the entire galaxy.

"The power has indeed increased."

"More chakra, stronger eye techniques, longer lifespan, but in essence, they still haven't stepped into the realm of rules."

He had fought against the Holy Lord and Marquis Voban, who had entered the realm of rules, in the past, so he clearly knew the difference between entering the realm of "rules" and not entering the realm of "rules".

The two have never been on the same level from the beginning.

Although he has not stepped into the realm of "rules," even though his power has increased due to the increased concentration of the Otsutsuki bloodline, his battles still rely on chakra and his eye techniques to "influence" and "destroy" existing matter and energy.

But they are different; they utilize and master the rules, which is the fundamental difference.

"It seems that simply increasing the concentration of the Otsutsuki bloodline is far from enough to truly reach that level; we must find another path."

Madara Uchiha let out a soft breath, then opened the chat group and looked at the [Enlightenment Function].

If there is any other way for him to access the realm of rules besides the [Enhancement Function], then the [Enlightenment Function] is the only and best option.

He glanced at the remaining points after deducting the rewards for the transmigrator mission, and there was no hesitation in his eyes.

For him, who pursues power, points are a resource used to convert into strength!

"Activate the [Enlightenment] function, consuming all points."

Madara Uchiha's voice was utterly calm.

[Ding! Group member [Uchiha Dance King] has requested to use the [Enlightenment Function], which will consume all points. Confirm?]

"determine."

The moment the words fell, Madara Uchiha's consciousness seemed to be drawn from his body by an invisible force and plunged into a boundless chaos woven from countless rules and great principles.

The flow of time in the outside world seemed to stand still for him; his entire mind was immersed in understanding the nature of power and the rules.

[Enlightenment Function] Activated.

Almost at the same moment that Madara Uchiha's consciousness entered the Enlightenment Space.

Deep within the Pure Land of the Ninja World Planet, a place closely connected to the present world yet independent of the material world.

A pure and flawless soul, radiating a faint yet resilient light, quietly touched the laws of reincarnation under the guidance of a higher level of will.

It did not struggle or feel lost; like a wanderer who had found his home, it obediently merged into the grand cycle that runs through life and death.

next moment.

Within the empire's borders, in an ordinary yet warm family living on the outskirts of a bustling city.

With a clear cry, a newborn baby was born into this world.

Unlike ordinary children.

Unlike other newborns, he didn't cry for long because of the discomfort of being separated from the mother's body. After a few seconds, he calmed down and curiously turned his little head to look at this completely new world to him.

On his little face, there was no fear or unease, but instead a happy smile slowly bloomed.

The medical staff who delivered the baby and the new parents were all somewhat surprised, feeling that the child was born with a unique tranquility and spirituality.

But they simply assumed it was just the child's personality and didn't think much of it.

"My dear child, when you grow up, you must become a soldier of the empire and expand its territory."

His father, an ordinary mechanic with a kind face but a proud smile, wearing the standard imperial work clothes, gently touched the baby's delicate cheek with his fingertips, his tone full of anticipation for the future.

In this empire ruled by Madara Uchiha and centered on the "Apocalypse" artificial intelligence, becoming a soldier serving the empire is the most basic expectation that many ordinary families have for their children.

The baby seemed to understand. Instead of crying, it blinked its clear, bright eyes, opened its toothless little mouth, and let out a soft "giggle." Its little hand unconsciously reached out towards its father, as if responding to his expectation.

Meanwhile, in the Soul Society, located in another part of this world.

Aizen has already received his reward.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if countless phantoms of the birth and death of worlds flashed by.

"A good result."

He commented casually, his tone revealing little emotion, but the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his satisfaction.

He had already embarked on the right path, and the "partial improvement" brought about by this mission allowed him to take a more profound step on the path he had chosen.

Although this reward is not a world-class or even heaven-level [rule-level item], but merely a galaxy-level "fake item", the boost it brings to Aizen is still enormous.

This gave Aizen a more fundamental understanding of rules such as "transformation between reality and illusion," "blurring of boundaries," and "interference with rules." It was as if the previously hazy road ahead had been cleared of some of the fog, making it clearer.

The difference between the Solar System level and the Milky Way level, even if it's just 1% of the mission's scope, is enormous enough for Aizen.

After joining the chat group, the leap in his abilities he experienced reached a level that would leave anyone who knew his past speechless.

If someone had told him before he joined the chat group that Aizen Sousuke could cross barriers that would have taken thousands of years or even longer to reach in such a short time, and was moving towards a dimension that even the "Soul King" could hardly attain, he probably would have just given a contemptuous sneer.

However, reality is just that incredible.

In just a few short years, the gains he has made have already surpassed all the painstaking planning and accumulation he had made over the long years.

Moreover, this enhancement granted through the chat group is more perfect than the "evolution" of the "Hogyoku".

It is based on his own path and is guided and elevated by the trend.

"The road ahead is still long, but the scenery is becoming increasingly worth looking forward to."

He muttered to himself, closed his eyes again, and immersed himself in a deeper digestion and integration of this new gain.

His rapid improvement in strength did not make him complacent in the slightest; on the contrary, it inspired him to be even more ambitious.

Before that supreme "Throne of Heaven," current progress is merely another solid stepping stone on the way up.

A world of high-level martial arts.

An indescribably enormous angelic phantom, composed of pure light energy, slowly coalesced and took shape above the clouds.

Enormous wings of light unfurled, obscuring half the sky. Each feather seemed woven from the purest runes of law, sprinkling down countless points of gentle light rain, each containing boundless purifying power.

The hymn-like chanting echoed between heaven and earth, resounding deep within the hearts of countless beings, calming their restlessness and cleansing them of their filth.

Under the holy light, the mountains and rivers seemed to be endowed with spirituality, and the plants grew wildly yet appeared even more crystal clear. All the hostility and darkness in the world were silently purified and dispelled.

At this moment, Su Yunqing was bathed in holy light, absorbing the boost brought about by the rewards given to her by the chat group.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"Even if it's just a [rule-level item] at the galaxy level, the effect is still powerful."

"I feel like I'm at least at the Wood Star level now, right?"
