Chapter 759 How could such a genius do such a stupid thing!
Everyone present saw through it but didn't say anything. They just kept their eyes on the surface and their hearts on the surface, pretending they heard nothing and quietly watched Jellal's clumsy performance put on by one person.
"Inbel, when you return, add 'only those who are alive' to your hunt for Fairy Tail..."
Hearing Zeref still nagging, Inbell felt awkward and could only cough tactically to remind him, "Ahem...Emperor, what matters now is the impact of the solar eclipse on the world!!"
Jellal suddenly realized: "Oh, right, right... I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. This is what's important now!!"
"First, we need to know the situation of the Celestial Realm before we can make the next plan. I'll leave this exploration to you, August. According to my guess, something must have gone wrong in the Celestial Realm. The Celestials are likely to be swallowed by darkness after being touched by the power of the eclipse. If you face the Celestial King, you have to be careful."
The Protoss need a key to appear in Aslant, and the Protoss King needs a Protoss magician with certain talents to destroy a key in order to be summoned. Moreover, the existence time and strength of the summoned Protoss King are also limited by the summoner. In that case, the combat power alone is only at the level of Maldor.
So Jellal specially sent out Auguste, naturally out of consideration of not damaging the Protoss Key, and the battle location was in the Protoss Realm, to fight against the Protoss King who was in a complete or even stronger state.
August also understood Jellal's order, and immediately tightened the magic wand in his hand and said respectfully, "I understand."
Then, Zeref ordered Inbel to start implementing corresponding disaster prevention measures for other possible natural disasters, dispatched magic troops to various places for support, and stepped up the search for the whereabouts of Fairy Tail throughout the empire. Although there was some personal emotion mixed in, he almost perfectly fulfilled the duties of an "emperor" of a country.
…
"The principle of the solar eclipse is to use the difference in the speed of time between the two worlds to achieve the purpose of traveling through time. Therefore, its successful operation is essentially based on the 90 :1 time difference between Ascalante and the Star Spirit World."
"After Lucy entered the Eclipse Gate, everything she did would cause time to become abnormal. The resulting time and space would affect the operation of the Celestial Spirit Realm, plunging the Celestial Spirit into darkness."
Three days later, Auguste laid out his findings in front of Jellal. Of course, what he wanted to talk about was not something that everyone knew, but a report on the missions of the past few days.
"But now the eclipse obviously did not work successfully. The impact on the Celestial Spirit Realm may only be solved by going to the Celestial Spirit Realm in person. So I collected a few silver keys and found a way to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm through studying space magic."
It is almost impossible for non-Astral creatures to go to the Astral World unless they can wear clothes from the Astral World. Ogas made many attempts for this and asked Selene, Irene, Timaria, Urrutia and others for help, and only then did he get a clue.
"What happened afterwards was exactly as Your Majesty expected. The Star Spirits of the Twelve Zodiac Signs and the Star Spirit King have all fallen. The former are easy to deal with, but the power of the Star Spirit King after it went berserk is very strong. Even I had to work hard to defeat it. But in the end, I was able to awaken it without any danger."
Auguste slowly recounted his experiences of the past few days, and at the same time, his old eyes cautiously looked at Jellal, who was sitting at his seat handling government affairs and listening attentively to his report.
The blackened Protoss King is indeed strong, but he is not so strong that it takes a lot of effort for Ogast to defeat him. The main reason he said this is -
"You did a great job, Auguste! You've worked so hard. With you by my side, everything I do is much easier!"
Hearing Jellal calling his name gently and hearing the compliments that came out of his mouth, Augustus felt a little elated, but he quickly suppressed his anger, then bowed slightly to Jellal skillfully and respectfully, and said, "It is my duty to share your worries, Your Majesty!"
It is my duty to share your worries, father...
In this world, since there is no intervention from Mavis and Kira, Auguste and Zeref have not recognized each other yet, and Preshito did not seem to recognize Auguste - or maybe he recognized her but did not say anything.
One thing is done, but there is another thing.
Thinking of Lucy's whereabouts, Zeref frowned again. "The impact of the solar eclipse on the stars has been resolved, but there is still no clue about Lucy's whereabouts..."
Just as Zeref was thinking hard, August suddenly said something shocking: "I did hear the Star Spirit King talk about this matter afterwards!"
What?! Did the Star Spirit King mention this?!
Zeref raised his head suddenly, looking at August with surprise, surprise and a bit of joy, the subordinate who never let him down: "The Star King mentioned it?! Does he know something?"
That's right! The Solar Eclipse is a device that I developed based on the difference in the speed of time between the two worlds. Apart from myself, the person who is most likely to understand it is undoubtedly the leader of the Star Spirit World, the Star Spirit King! Why didn't I think of asking him?
After thinking about it for a while, Jellal discovered the reason: because he was not a Celestial Mage at all, and there were no other Celestial Mage around him, so from the time he opened the Eclipse Gate until now, during this entire year, he had never used the twelve Celestial Keys from beginning to end, nor had he communicated with the celestial spirits of the twelve zodiac signs. It was normal for him to go to the Celestial Realm to ask the Celestial King for help - although the relationship between them was not good.
There is a price to pay for traveling through time, whether you are traveling to the past or to the future.
The last time he used the Eclipse, he allowed Natsu and the others to travel through time for four hundred years. This action not only caused the five of them to lose their memories due to the power of time and space, but also created a time rift that would suck in everything it touched. He has not mentioned this dangerous thing to anyone until now.
In addition to Ascalante, the Celestial World also paid a corresponding price, including the death of the previous Zodiac and some Celestial Keys being dyed black. Only a few people knew about this, including Zeref, the Celestial King, and the Celestial Mage Anna who opened the door.
"He only said one word, parallel world!"
Auguste's gentle words seemed to explode Jellal's head.
What? Parallel world? What is that? ? Is it the parallel world I understand? Does the parallel world really exist in this world? ?
The uncontrollable associations made Jellal stunned. He sat in his seat blankly, his eyes seemed to penetrate Auguste standing in front of him and the wall behind him, and fell on the void where countless calculation formulas and conjectures were written.
"Parallel world...parallel world..."
Zeref kept repeating the words conveyed by the Celestial King through Auguste, thinking about the message the other party wanted to tell him.
"I see! So Lucy went to a parallel world, so no matter what she did, it has no effect on the current world..."
August listened quietly to Jellal's mumblings. After coming out of the Celestial Realm, he immediately searched for information related to the parallel world.
The information was little, but it was enough. What surprised him was that all the information came from one person.
To be more precise, it appeared in many fantasy novels written by this person, and after verification, he found that this person was the current president of "Fairy Tail", Kira Hopelet!
In other words, this kid named Kira already had the concept of a parallel world in his mind!
After living in Ishgar for a year, August had already found out the general information about Kira. He knew that this was a young man with great talent in magic. Even he himself might not have such achievements at his age.
In fact, if you think about it a little, you will know that a person who can replace the "Saint Ten" Makarov who has been famous in Ishgar for many years in his early 20s, become the president of "Fairy Tail" with thundering means, and lead his group of young wizards to occupy most of the Fiore Kingdom in just a few months, then he must be a genius rarely seen in a century in terms of magic theory and magic application.
It is not surprising that such people know the concept of parallel worlds; but for the same reason, such people are also the most likely to take action on the solar eclipse!
However, Kira himself was among those who were reversed by "Nirvana". If it was really him who tampered with the eclipse, how could he be affected as well?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No one would be so stupid, let alone such a genius!
After a brainstorming session, Auguste naturally ruled out Kira as a suspicious candidate.
"Ougast, please go out first. I need to think carefully about the parallel world. If this conjecture can be confirmed, maybe the world will change dramatically again!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
After Augustus left, Jellal swiftly stopped everything he was doing, quickly cleared up a space on the desk with the documents piled up, took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw. Soon, all kinds of strange letters and formulas appeared on the paper.
…
At the same time, in World No. 1, the Star Spirit Realm.
As we all know, the ratio of the time flow rate between Ascalante and the Celestial Realm is three months to one day, or 90:1. This means that during the three days when Auguste returned to Ishgar, only 48 minutes passed in the Celestial Realm.
After Auguste left, the Protoss King and many Protoss, who had already escaped from the poison of the eclipse magic and regained their original consciousness, also started a meeting.
At the center of the meeting was also the human with whom they were most closely connected, Lucy Heartfilia.
