Traveling is to conquer the world

Hanging on the central zenith of the capital of Fiore, the underground kingdom, is a huge man-made sphere.

This subterranean sun, which shines with scorching light and emits infinite heat, is firmly embedded on the zenith of the underground world by a network of metal chips. The underground world brings an ecological environment for the growth of plants and crops.

From the perspective of human beings, this underground sun is obviously quite huge, with a majesty and magnificence that makes people feel intimidated just by looking at it—of course, even if it is extremely huge compared to human beings, if you compare it Compared with the real sun, it will appear extremely small. After all, if the sun is really moved to the ground at a ratio of 1:1, the entire underground kingdom will be melted by the shocking heat. .

The artificial sun shrunk down according to a certain correct ratio hangs on the zenith of the capital, and the light it emits is strictly controlled 24 hours a day.It emits a dim light in the morning, emits dazzling sunlight and heat at noon, gradually goes out in the evening, and is completely silent at night, allowing the underground world to return to its original darkness.

The artificial sun itself is enough to provide light and heat to the capital and its surroundings, and the area that the artificial sun cannot cover due to distance, there is also a transmission network composed of metal chips to transmit light and heat to the area, allowing most people to live there. of the subterranean area can be illuminated by sunlight from the artificial sun.

The light that Antinomy sees at this moment is exactly the dazzling light that the artificial sun blooms at noon, and it is no different from the sun's light in the surface world.In this underground world where there is no sunlight and no concept of time, the high-hanging underground sun brings time and life to the human beings living in the underground kingdom.

There is no doubt that this is an incomparably great creation, and its appearance has made it possible for humans to continue the group underground.

From the first time he saw this subterranean sun, Antinomie knew its function and its greatness, even before Naz proudly introduced it.Without anyone's explanation, Antinomie had a very clear understanding of the whole picture of the subterranean sun with just a glance of sight, not even missing anything about its manufacturing principle and the function of the surrounding metal chips.

Simply, it was as if this thing was made by himself, or was about to be made.

Is it strange?Well, it's not surprising that Antinomie has such a thorough insight. After all, he has the Eye of Runas that can distinguish all legal orders. As long as he really wants to understand, except for things like Apart from being deliberately blocked in the tutor's future world, there is nothing he cannot know.

...However, now he has not opened the Eye of Runas at all.

Staring at the underground sun, the more he understood the principle and function of this thing, the more confused Antinomes became. He couldn't understand why his mind would naturally understand everything about the underground sun, and he didn't know why this thing The structure of the sun will give him an extremely familiar and natural feeling... So he turned his head and asked Naz who was still talking: "Do you know who made that artificial sun?"

"Hey, you asked that?" Natsu scratched the back of his head and replied after thinking for a while, "It should be the one who defeated Igriche. I hate him, I can't remember his name at all."

"It's Odin."

As a substitute for Natsu's loss, Gray helped him say what he couldn't recall, "It's a man named Antinor Odin...maybe it's not a human being."

"150 and five years ago, he appeared in the era when evil dragons were rampant in the world, and creatures suffered from cruel mouths. He appeared in the center of the metal dragon field that killed people alone. No one knows what happened there. What is left in the records, but When he reappeared, all the metal dragons were cheering for the master's death and liberation, and at the same time, they were annoyed at the fact that they had lost the ability to transform into human form."

Gray stared at Antinomie's constricted eyes, and continued to say word by word: "Igliche, the non-dao priestess, is the master of all metal dragons, and she uses evil dragons to rule the world. After all the metal dragons fell into turmoil, people once believed that this was a harbinger of the world's imminent liberation, and the dragon slayers who had been taught by the five-color dragons also stepped forward to fight against the brutal dragon."

There is no need for Gray to repeat the following stories. The follow-up story of the dragon slayers were all killed by the angry metal dragon, and the human beings were also angered and had to flee to the underground world for refuge has long been covered by Natsu. The mouth explained everything.

Obviously, even if this guy who doesn't know if he is human successfully killed the non-dao priestess Egliche 150 years ago, the world is still not liberated. The tyranny of the dragon lasted for a full 150 years. All creatures other than the dragons were hunted to the brink of extinction, and only the humans hiding underground survived.

"That's right, it's this guy! He obviously has the power to save the world and become a hero, but after killing Igriche, he ignored the metal dragons and let them continue to be arrogant. It's disgusting."

Natsu clapped his hands angrily, and complained angrily, "The most abominable thing is that he left behind the artificial sun he made in the underground world before he disappeared out of thin air, obviously at that time the dwarves living underground didn't need sunlight at all. It's almost as if he knew that humans would be expelled to the underground world after he left. Since he knew that such a result would happen, why did he leave without doing anything!"

Antinomy was speechless.

"Are you right? Antinomy... eh?! Antinomy?!"

Naz complained to himself for a long time before finally remembering this new friend he just met, and approached him very familiarly to ask for his opinion.But when he pronounced this apparently unfamiliar tongue-twisting name, his eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, speechless.

"What a coincidence. It is rumored that the guy who defeated Iglesia and created this underground sun in 150 years ago happened to have the same name as you." Gray said as if joking, but stared at Antinomie's gaze was full of earnestness and inquiry, "Also, the weapon he used in the rumors happened to be a silver-white spear."

Under Gray's blatant guidance, Natsu quickly realized the meaning of his words, but still stared at Antinomie dumbfounded, and said, "Hey, it's impossible... This kind of thing is not good. It's possible!"

Gray ignored Naz's surprised soliloquy, but looked at Antinomie and continued to ask: "This friend who happened to be met by Naz and I, can you please introduce yourself again?" ?”

"..."

Antinomie was silent for a long while, then turned his eyes away from Gray's, and looked at the artificial sun that he was very familiar with when he first saw it, and which was rumored to be made by him himself, "My name It is Antinomie Odin, it is undeniable that the things you mentioned are indeed very likely to be done by me."

"I am indeed Antinomie? Odin is right, but—" when Natsu and Gray showed surprised expressions at the same time, he changed the subject and said, "I am not the Antinomie you know Mi Odin."

"……What does it mean?"

Antinomie thought for a while, and then decided to tell the truth about his situation, "I am Antinomie Odin, and it is true that I came here to kill Igliche, the wicked witch. But in my In my cognition, "Killing Igliche" is something I am about to do, not something I have already done. Similarly, the underground sun is familiar to me as if it was something I made by myself. But it’s not something I’ve ever done in my memory. But I have to admit that if it were really me, I’d probably take care of the metal dragons after defeating Igriche instead of letting them continue to scourge this world."

"I can probably understand what's going on now. It's a time-space paradox caused by wrong time-space travel. It made us meet when we shouldn't have met." Antinomie pointed to his head and spoke to the two. The man said, "The past you are talking about is probably my future. I moved to the wrong place, and I am about to move to the correct 150 five years ago to complete what you remember."

Obviously, the time-space paradox, the past and the future, which are easy to understand for a frequent traveler like Antinomie, seem incomprehensible to the standard native residents Naz and Gray. In order to take care of these two A confused guy, Antinomie reminded very kindly: "If you can't understand, don't think about it. If you think too much, you will get a headache. In short, I have to leave here. The 'past' you call me Will remember, and try to prevent the metal dragon from continuing to harm the world."

After finishing speaking, Antinomie picked up the Holy Spear very coolly, and drew a silver-white curve in front of him. The current time point is that the coordinates extend forward for a distance of 150 years, and Antinomie silently read out the space-time coordinates of the target location...

And then—nothing happened.

Antinomie: ...No, this is unscientific!It must be that my posture to open the door is wrong, director, let's do it all over again!

So Antinomie, who did not give up, continued to raise the holy spear and slashed across the air. The tip of the spear burning with pale holy flames whizzed past, directly tearing a half-person-high gap in front of Antinomie.Before Antinomie had time to be happy that he had finally successfully opened the rift in time and space, a gust of dark wind blew over——

Then, under the eyes of Natsu and Gray, the gap he managed to tear open... just fell apart in one blow like a bean curd project!

Yes, falling apart!A space-time rift fell apart before your eyes and fell to the ground!After falling to the ground, it disappeared quickly as if nothing had happened!Antinomie, who had never seen such a cheating gap, said that he and his friends were shocked!

At the door of Antinomie’s self-reported house, he confessed that he belonged to that bastard, and Nanaz and Gray finally confirmed that the guy in front of them was the legendary witch who left without paying. This is the expression on the faces of Natsu and Gray when they saw the bastard who left immediately (⊙o⊙).

When Antinomie said goodbye very coolly, and picked up the holy gun to go back to the past through time and space, the expressions on the faces of Natsu and Gray were like this (.Д′)/.

When Antinomie aggressively raised his holy spear and swiped it in mid-air but got no results, the expressions on Natsu and Gray's faces were like this Σ(@д@;).

When Antinomie, who never gave up, repeated the above process again and successfully created a space-time rift, but when the people fell apart before entering the rift, the expressions on the faces of Natsu and Gray were like this (￣ ▽￣)...

If you don't have this ability, don't imitate others and leave an incomprehensible farewell speech, and then leave gracefully, okay?After finishing a series of unidentifiable middle two lines and making such a shameful action, the sense of shame that there is no result can't stop at all, okay?We all feel blushed and dry when we look at it!

"It seems that Mr. Antinomie can't leave as he wished for the time being. Maybe it's God's will to keep you with us for a while." He was always serious, but he was amused by Antinomie's ghostly expression. Gray held back his smile, and said gloatingly, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell us more about the situation that you haven't killed Igriche yet?"

Naz, who was slow to react and just came to his senses, also yelled together: "Yeah, I finally met the real person in the legend, if you just let you go without asking anything, then we wouldn't be at a disadvantage! And You are so powerful, do you really plan to join our Fairy Tail? We are also the number one guild in Fiore Kingdom!"

Antinomie, who refused to be sold by Amway, politely declined Naz's invitation again. After another futile attempt, he finally gave up the idea of ​​opening the gate of time and space by himself.Similar to the previous situation where the extreme witch Iglise closed the future world and refused him to go in any way, and could only rely on rockets for ten years to go to the future. Now Antinomie is also facing the situation of being in an isolated time and space with no way to connect. to the dilemma of other worlds.

However, what is different from the previous situation is that what Antinomy is facing now is not being blocked outside the closed ring world and unable to enter, but being trapped inside the closed ring world and unable to leave.The failures of several attempts fully showed that this was not an accidental mistake, but that there was some kind of power in the dark that refused him to leave this world before he completed everything.

So who would be the one who designed such a predicament and held Antinomy here and wouldn't let him leave?

Iglesia?In terms of stakes, this non-dao witch is indeed the most likely.After all, Antinomie went to the world 150 years ago just to kill her. If Antinomie can be stopped in the future world, then she can rest easy and never worry about someone coming to defeat her up.

But Egliche, who seemed the most likely, turned out to be the least likely upon reflection.In this so-called "future" after 150 years, Igliche has been killed by him for more than 100 years. If Igliche really lured him to this future world, wouldn't it be a side effect? It confirmed the fact that she would still be killed by Antinomy?

When the time-space coordinates are correct, it is very difficult to interfere with the destination of Antinomy's travel. It is absolutely impossible to sneak him into the wrong time point without being noticed by him. Ordinary people can do it.Among those who are able to do it, the non-dao priestess and the heretic saint are extremely suspicious.

——Of course, all these inferences are based on the premise of "the originally set space-time coordinates are correct", that is to say, if Loki gave the wrong coordinates pointing here from the beginning, then each It is understandable for Antinomie to accidentally fall into the world of the closed ring without even noticing it. After all, he blamed a train that did not point to the correct destination for not driving in the direction he wanted It's a very stupid thing to do.

Judging from Rocky's abnormal reaction state this time, the possibility that he is behind the scenes to help the flames cannot be ignored.The reason why he would find various reasons to refuse to go with him is precisely because he knows that the end of this journey is a secret room world that cannot be easily left, so naturally he will not foolishly jump into the pit along with him.

But what Antinomie couldn't figure out was what kind of motivation drove Loki to do this?He used to be the owner of the scriptures, the main god who came and went freely in countless worlds to play with all living beings, but his power and status were all stolen and occupied by Alpha Gero who had been his subordinate. It is impossible to help the non-dao priestesses in the Alpha Gero camp.

Antinomie still remembered that when he and Loki met for the first time, the other party was seriously injured and dying.There is no doubt that the almost fatal wounds left on him were all from the handwriting of Alpha Gelo. Even if it was not for some nonsense reason of love and peace in the world justice, the old hatred alone is enough to make him firmly stand on the side of Alpha Gelo. The opposite is.What good would it do him to trap Antinomie, who was the only one who could stop Alpha Gero, in this closed ring world?

Antinomie couldn't figure it out.Just as Egliche, who had the most motivation to do so, shouldn't have done so, Loki, who was most feasible, couldn't find a reason to do so at all.

He thought of many possibilities, from the dark chess left by the witch that quietly affected him, to the wrong space-time coordinates provided by Loki, to the fact that the target was distorted by powerful enemies such as the non-path priestess or the heretic saint during the time travel. The location...Antinomi had speculated about all possible, feasible, and impossible situations, but among the countless possibilities, he was the only one who didn't think about it when Gungnir entered the space-time coordinates. Either intentionally or accidentally entered the wrong coordinates, so that they fell into the predicament where they are now trapped and unable to leave.

Even if there are occasional unpleasant frictions, in Antinomie's heart, Gungnir, who is obviously violent and likes to pretend to be cool, has already been classified as the most trustworthy. In this sense, there is almost no difference between what Gungnir does and what he does in his cognition, and the subconscious has already acquiesced in the connection between the two.

To him, Gungnir is not just a sharp holy spear, but also a partner who has been by his side since he stepped out of ordinary life and took on the heavy responsibilities of the world.Although their relationship is not good, it does not hinder the tacit understanding that was born because they know each other well. Many times, a short sentence can make them understand each other's meaning. A tacit understanding developed in thousands or even tens of thousands of years of companionship.

Antinomie never considered that Gungnir betrayed him and did things that were harmful to him, just like how Gungnir dragged his body but always cooperated honestly with Antinomie If there is such a relationship that is more trustworthy than a lover's oath or a knight's allegiance, then it must be a tacit understanding between the master and the weapon that can reach a consensus without words.

Because he trusted Gungnir unconditionally, Antinomie would not consider the possibility that he was behind the scenes, because in Antinomie's thinking, this itself was 'impossible'.After filtering out the suspects one by one in his mind, the final conclusion reached by Antinomie was that a certain number one person was neither from the Alpha Gero camp nor had anything to do with him, and he might not have any malice towards him. People from three parties pulled him into this "future" that he could not leave for the time being.

If you sincerely want to be unfavorable to him, what you use as a meeting gift will not be something as simple as cannon fodder Wulong group.His and Gungnir's abilities are not subject to any restrictions in this world. Apart from the inability to tear apart time and space and move to other places, they still have the powerful strength to easily defeat the metal dragon and dominate the world order.

And in this "future", the death of the non-dao priestess Igliche also confirmed from the side that the person who "invited" Antinomy to come here is not the same as Alpha Gelo, otherwise it would not be contemptuous Creating such a future where "Egliche was killed by Antinomy more than 100 years ago" is absolutely impossible to be done by Egliche herself or Igleia.

Loki's suspicion is also easy to rule out. Although it is the most convenient way to bring about the current situation of the two Antinomies, taking action on the space-time coordinates, considering that Loki can only act as a luminous egg mascot to see the world It's definitely not his handwriting - Antinomie's full divine power at this time combined with the sharpness of the holy spear can't break through time and space. It can only prove that this place was sealed with an enchantment by a great god of the level of the Creator of Light. Either it has been separated from the world tree, and it is normal for Antinomie to be unable to return to other worlds in the floating lonely leaf world.

But no matter what the purpose of the people who invited Antinomy to this world and deliberately created such a future, just waiting here will not make any progress.All kinds of 'history' related to Antinomy grandly invites him to explore. No matter what the organizer of this welcome banquet wants to do, Antinomy has to accept the invitation to see what the other party has prepared Big meal to find a way to leave.

From this point of view, Natsu and Gray would accidentally hear the sound of battle from the surface and lead them to the underground world. It was also a deliberate arrangement by the organizer. Nomi's own clues, thinking about it, Naz and the others are really similar to intimate characters who guide NPCs.

Antinomie, who had figured out the direction to go, was suddenly enlightened, and smiled at Natsu who once again invited him to enter Fairy Tail, and said cheerfully: "Well, maybe there is something I need to find in Fairy Tail , while staying in this world for the time being, please take care of me."
