Chapter 798: Irene's Strange Adventures and Selene's Interpretation of Space and Time
To the north of the battlefield, on another mountain peak, two graceful, elegant, and stunning figures had a panoramic view of everything that was happening on the battlefield.
Two mature women, one with heavy makeup and the other with light makeup, but both dressed themselves up to be just right and stunning. Every inch of their bodies, whether covered or exposed, was enough to make countless LSPs enter into a fantasy time, indulge in it and unable to extricate themselves, and want to teach them everything they know.
They are none other than the two most powerful mothers in the world, Irene and Selene.
Why are the two of them here? This can be traced back to more than half a year ago, when they went to Kiltina in the northern continent.
At the beginning, Irene got Kira's advice and set out from the Albares Empire to the Northern Continent to find an alchemist who was skilled in "human body transmutation", hoping to ask him to transmute a new body for her; while Selene was going to the Northern Continent to inquire about the news of the Five Divine Dragons, and at the same time find the president of the Magic Dragon, Eleftheria, to inquire about Athena's news, so the man and the dragon simply traveled together.
Of course, they also went with the abducted Sword Master Dragon Kurnuki.
After arriving at the northern continent, they first found Eleftheria. After a fight between the two sides, the old man was captured directly, but because he did not know the whereabouts of Athena, Selene had to return disappointed.
After that, the group began to look for the alchemy guild "Golden Owl", and after asking for information, they went to the southeast city of Philan. As a result, the alchemist who was rumored to be "human transmutation" was found, but he was not what they had originally thought.
The alchemy "Human Transmutation" used by Duke Barbaroa, the president of the "Golden Owl", is based on the bodies of the dead. To be precise, what he created should be a puppet, or a bionic robot, which cannot help people regenerate their bodies.
As for the president of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce that Kira met, he was just a failure who was refined into a doll after his death but was abandoned because he had no fighting ability. However, he himself did not know this.
Of course, this journey was not entirely smooth and without incidents.
After confirming that the body reconstruction was fruitless, Irene, Selene and Kurnuki were targeted by Duke, the president of the "Golden Owl", because they possessed dragon magic. This middle-aged uncle with only one eye seemed to really regard himself as the protagonist of a certain work. He even tried to get his hands on the dragon magic of the three and attack them.
The result... was naturally that he was beaten up by the angry Irene and the two dragons.
The current 'Golden Owl' does not have Athena who was 'just found' in the Hundred Years' Quest, nor does it have the puppet 'God Serena'. The Signor sisters who are 'stronger than the gods' are still just children at this time, so the strength of the entire guild is not enough to dominate Kiltina.
Since then, Kiltina's two major professional guilds, 'Diabolos' and 'Golden Owl', have been devastated by the defeat of their president, and no longer have the honor of 'the continent's first magic guild' and 'the continent's first alchemy guild' in the original work.
After this, Kurnuki returned to the Albares Empire, but heard that Kira and others had already returned, so he no longer followed them to Ishgar, but stayed in Arakitasi.
On the other hand, Selene invited Irene, who shared the same ideals, to her base in Elentina, which had just been rebuilt, to take a bath, watch the moon and drink wine, enjoying the beauty's mouth-watering care for several months.
After enjoying herself, Irene returned to Aslant, and while enjoying work without the supervision of her boss, she secretly went to Magnolia to visit her daughter. Seeing that Erza's life was quite happy, Irene calmed down and gave up the plan of taking over Erza's body. From then on, the two of them were like a daughter working in her hometown and a mother working abroad. They were no longer enemies like in the original work, but gradually became connected.
During the 'Fairy Tail Centennial Celebration', Zeref settled in Magnolia, and Irene thought about giving up her current job and returning home to be with her daughter. Unfortunately, Zeref was obsessed with beauty and ignored government affairs, and his son Auguste was like a mama's boy and couldn't live without Mavis. The entire Albares Empire was leaderless, and even though Irene was extremely reluctant, she had to bite the bullet and do the work of two people. She took over Auguste's job and acted as a military deterrent to the entire empire.
Who can tolerate doing two people's work for one salary?
Only because Irene was broad-minded, she endured it silently. However, halfway through her work, she received a message from her boss saying "the company is dissolved" and "you are fired". She really couldn't bear it!
So Irene packed up her things and left, running to Eleanor's next door to talk to her best friend, complaining loudly about her unscrupulous boss and subordinates. Unexpectedly, disaster struck before she had stayed for a few days.
Acnorolia, who had stayed in Elentina for more than a year, finally discovered Selene's footprints and attacked her without hesitation. Irene came to his aid. The three-headed dragon was one of the strongest in the entire "Fairy Tail World". Both their spirit and body were far superior to ordinary people. Therefore, the fight lasted for seven days and seven nights without a clear winner.
Eleanor herself possessed an extremely abundant amount of magic power. Even the most common magic in Aslant could be exerted dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful here. This directly added fuel to the battle of the three dragons. The three dragons beat the entire Eleanor so hard that the mountains and rivers collapsed, the sun and the moon lost their light, the heaven and earth lost their order, and the universe was turned upside down. Even the avenue at the end of the universe was wiped out...
Ahem, actually most of the time, it was Selene and Irene who were on the run, and Acnorolia who were chasing them.
Until the end, Selene finally found an opportunity. With the help of the spatial characteristics of the moon power, she opened the channel to the other world and successfully escaped from Acnorolia's pursuit and returned to Ascalante. However, Acnorolia had already swallowed and absorbed enough space magic during this period, and forcibly tore apart Selene's space channel that had not been completely closed, and followed them back to Ascalante at the last moment.
Fortunately, although Acnorolia followed it back to Aslante, Selene and Irene managed to shake it off.
The space channel opened by Selene was connected to Kiltina. She and Irene chose to seek refuge in Ishgar as soon as they arrived in Ishgar. However, Acnorolia did not keep up with the two dragons because he smelled the scent of a dragon in Kiltina.
In the following time, Acnorolia launched a crazy dragon hunting activity in Kiltina. This action made the name of "Apocalypse" 'Dark Wings' very popular in Kiltina, and everyone was shocked and afraid of every dragon!
On the other hand, since Selene and Irene had suffered a lot of injuries, they had to stay in seclusion for a period of time to recuperate. Unexpectedly, when they finally recovered a little and came out, they heard about the great demon fighting performance.
The two arrived in Crocus on the eve of the Great Magic Tournament. One night, Irene met Wendy Belserion from World 5 and learned from her about the existence of parallel worlds, which shocked her.
Looking at the other self who had successfully taken over Wendy's body and listening to her story, Irene in this world fell into deep silence.
At that time, Selene didn't know what Irene was thinking. She only remembered that Irene stayed with another .
…
Time goes back to the present.
On the top of the mountain, Selene talked freely, telling the secrets that only she knew and she had never told anyone else: "Do you know? The name 'Moon Dragon' was originally a nickname I was given after I went to Kiltina. More than four hundred years ago, when I was still in Ishgar, more people called me 'Time and Space Dragon'."
Irene glanced at Selene, said nothing, and listened to her statement quietly.
"The moon contains infinite space magic and extremely complex time power. It is one of the bridges to open another world, and it is also the only key to open a parallel world!"
Irene, who already knew about the existence of parallel worlds and was quite wary of the "changes" in each world, immediately gathered her thoughts and her expression gradually became focused.
"Only when a person chosen by the world consciousness opens the right door at the right time can this key allow that person to enter the parallel world. Whether it is time, person or door, if there is any mistake, the whole process cannot be realized. This is why there are so few parallel worlds that can communicate with each other."
Irene knew that the 'right door' Selene mentioned was not the Eclipse Gate, but a synonym for 'doing something'.
"Thanks to the innate power of time and space, the 'I' in each world can observe the destined people in each world, as well as the corresponding destined time and destined events. But as the price of knowing this information, I cannot intervene, nor can I tell anyone, and I don't know whether this thing has happened or will happen."
"The reason I say this is because this kind of thing is not unique in every parallel world, and I only know part of it!"
After hearing the last sentence, Irene, who originally wanted to find out the truth, instantly gave up the idea. She knew that Selene had no need to lie to her about this matter. Even if it was really a lie, she would be willing to accept it... She couldn't do anything about the other party.
"Because the probability of this happening is extremely low, I have forgotten about it over time. So when I saw Wendy from the parallel world, or you from the parallel world that day, I was shocked because I never thought it would really happen, and it happened in our world!"
Irene frowned tightly, Selene's tone made her feel a little uneasy.
Sure enough, in the next sentence, Selene explained the uneasiness: "Strong magic power can cause disasters, so those connected parallel worlds will experience different 'mutations'."
"There is no fixed relationship between the time when the 'mutation' occurs and the time when the parallel world opens. It may be before or after. It can be good or bad, but most of them are bad because they will cause earth-shaking changes in the whole world."
"If you compare it to the book 'On the Multiverse Hypothesis' that's circulating on the market, it's a bit like being forcibly cleared out by the Time Administration after straying from the 'Sacred Timeline' - although there's no such thing as a Time Administration in this world."
When mentioning the name of this book, they both thought of its author "Light of Hope" and were very curious about this person.
When she first saw this book a few days ago, Irene felt that the name seemed familiar. After careful consideration, she remembered that she had seen it in the entertainment newspapers of the Albares Empire last year. During this period, she asked the owners of various bookstores and found out that "Light of Hope" was a famous novelist in the Kingdom of Fiore.
"Our world is also connected to other parallel worlds, which means that this world has also experienced a 'mutation', or is about to experience a 'mutation'!"
"Wendy from World 5 is wrong. Our world is not the source of the 'mutation' in World 5. The reason why she is so sure of this and swears to name the two sources is probably because she was confused by some information and came to a wrong conclusion."
"In fact, the 'mutation' has no source, because it is the inevitable product of the connection of parallel worlds!"
"The 'mutation' corresponding to each 'opening a parallel world' event has already been predetermined. It is like the blind boxes sold on the market. It may contain bombs, flowers, or cakes. You will only know what it is after it is opened. But as long as it is not opened, it will never be known and will never happen!"
At this point, Selene suddenly narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and gently waved the round fan to cover her charming lips: "Besides, she obviously hasn't fully understood the process of 'time travel', otherwise she wouldn't have formulated such a ridiculous plan to 'change the history of World No. 7 to affect the history of World No. 5'."
Irene nodded silently. Her opinion on this point was consistent with Selene's. Although she didn't know the specific theory, she guessed that things were not that simple. However, after knowing that Wendy No. 5 had made a mistake, she felt even more depressed.
Then, Irene asked again: "Then...where is the letter?"
Selene smiled faintly. "July 7th is indeed a special date. Occasionally, there will be a lunar eclipse, which will cause disorder in time and space and have a certain impact on the world. However, it does not happen every year, and the impact of each disorder is not the same. So the prophetic letter she sent to the Fiore royal family was actually useless."
Yes, the person who sent the "prophecy letter" to King Thomas's study was Wendy Belserion from World 5! After listening to the stories about the "Eclipse Gate and July 7" told by Kira, Natsu, Lucy and others from World 5, she combined her own personal experience and judged that July 7 was a special time point, so she wrote a letter to King Thomas, just in case.
"As for the fact that Acnorolia appears here, it is only because of the huge dragon magic power here."
Having said that, Selene glanced in the direction where Akunorolia left and breathed a sigh of relief.
