Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes

Upon seeing Isabella's initiative, Daniel couldn't help but furrow his brows. He took a deep breath and then seriously looked at Isabella.

"Isabella, you know this— even if it's a replica, it could result in your death."

"Right now, I don't have the means to bring you back to life."

Despite Daniel's serious tone, Isabella's face remained adorned with a faint smile, as though everything Daniel said was merely a trivial matter to her.

"It's alright, little brother. I don't mind these things," she replied casually.

"If the future you becomes a god, then I believe you would choose to resurrect me at the right time."

"But if you fail and die, then even if I'm alive, what difference would it make to me?"

"Although you may not care, my contract has already given everything to you!" Isabella's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief.

"Won't you regret this?"

Daniel looked at Isabella again, unable to suppress his question. However, Isabella's expression did not change in the slightest.

"Regret? I'll never regret it!" she declared with confidence.

"Since the moment I made a contract with you, I've had no choice but to go forward."

"But… little brother, you're not really planning to abandon me, are you?"

As she said this, Isabella's stunning eyes shimmered with a slight trace of water, as if hinting at something deeper.

On the other side, Daniel fell silent for a moment after seeing this, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

It seemed Isabella was indeed a good companion—not just a companion, but someone who could even be considered a friend.

At that moment, Elizabeth suddenly stepped forward and gently grasped Daniel's arm.

In contrast to Isabella's boldness, Elizabeth was obviously more reserved. Yet, even so, she steadfastly spoke up.

"Lord Crossbridge, I can offer myself in the same way."

Daniel smiled faintly, then shook his head.

"In fact, Isabella is indeed the right choice, even the only choice," Daniel admitted.

For Daniel, he had always been concerned that the tragedy of Karlbira might repeat itself. He had been hesitating for this very reason. Isabella, sensing Daniel's unease, had taken the initiative to offer herself to solve the problem for him.

But even so, Daniel didn't want to make this decision. However, reality was stronger than will. Even Daniel had to accept that fact.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Daniel gritted his teeth and no longer looked at Isabella but instead turned his gaze towards Faer.

"Faer, I have a question for you."

"If Isabella doesn't resist, and we use the most powerful array, how long would it take for you to kill her?"

"This kill must be complete, including both her soul and her body."

Faer, understanding that Daniel had made his decision, quickly calculated and answered.

"If we can use the array, I'd need at most one second."

One second was within Daniel's tolerance, so he nodded and said, "One second, no problem."

"But I hope you can be even quicker. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes for all of us."

Meanwhile, Isabella looked confused.

She couldn't understand why her death, the faster the better, would result in greater safety. What kind of logic was that?

On the other hand, Faer, though not understanding Daniel's full intentions, still nodded in agreement, choosing to trust him.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Daniel then looked back at Isabella.

"Now, prepare yourself."

Isabella nodded, and a resolute look appeared on her stunning face.

"Little brother, I'm ready!"

Daniel didn't say anything else but placed one hand on her shoulder. In a flash, they appeared outside the castle, on the barren wasteland of the Godfall Battlefield.

"Now, you must remember what I said," Daniel instructed.

"When you open your eyes again, no matter whether you are the original body or the replica, you must not resist."

"You heard it yourself—this entire process will take just one second. All you need to do is endure for one second."

Isabella nodded, slowly closing her eyes.

However, her eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the unrest within her heart.

"Little brother, before you do it... could you... give me a hug? Just for a moment."

"Of course, if you can't, it's alright... Mm!"

Before Isabella could finish, Daniel directly embraced her.

If initially Daniel and Isabella's relationship was one of mutual use, now Daniel considered Isabella a true friend.

Since they were friends, there was no need to be so cautious.

Furthermore, Isabella had already mentally prepared to give up her life for him.

On the other side, Isabella's face revealed a satisfied expression as she felt Daniel's warm embrace.

This warm hug was so captivating—who wouldn't fall for it?

"Little brother, thank you. I'm ready."

Daniel didn't speak any further but gently nodded at Isabella.

In the next instant, he summoned the God of Thieves' Dagger and lightly slashed it across Isabella's arm.

After doing so, he immediately stored Isabella's original body within the Time Corridor.

At that moment, only Isabella's replica remained before Daniel.

Daniel's voice then echoed in her ears.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now."

The replica of Isabella slowly opened her eyes. She didn't know whether she was the original body or the replica because the God of Thieves' Dagger created replicas that were indistinguishable from the original.

Once she opened her eyes, an unprecedented, sinister power began rapidly consuming her soul.

It was a pain unlike anything Isabella had ever felt before.

Upon seeing Daniel, the replica Isabella smiled bitterly.

"So... little brother, I've been chosen, haven't I?"

In the next instant, she transformed into a beam of light, attempting to escape the barren wasteland!

At the same time, Daniel and Faer launched their attack.

Faer showed no hesitation. He immediately used all his strength.

[Elemental Mourning·Annihilation]!

For Daniel, even though Isabella had voluntarily offered herself, he still felt some hesitation. This was especially true when he saw, under Faer's skill, Isabella melt away like ice—an action that made him instinctively turn his head.

On the other side, Faer noticed Daniel's discomfort and spoke with confusion.

"Lord Crossbridge, there's no need to feel so sad."

"In fact, the damage caused by Elemental Mourning·Annihilation doesn't bring any pain."

"When it's one of our own, I don't use those cruel, harm-inflicting skills. To be precise, this skill is already one of the mildest, and I guarantee there won't be any pain."

Daniel nodded and didn't speak further. After a brief silence, he spoke again.
