Chapter 573: The Man Cursed by Time
At this moment, Kira really wanted to pull Zeref over to have a good look at him, to let him know what the suffering of life was and what it meant to be "cursed by the gods"!
Being rejected by the world? What kind of childish punishment is that? It's just an extra god-level magic, okay?! And it's a really cool magic! You dare to say you want to destroy the world in just four hundred years?
You are cursed by God, but you can still fall in love, have children, play the empire game, and there is a way to reverse time to repair it. What about others? Even if time is reversed, he will still suffer. Even if the world is destroyed, he will continue to reincarnate in the past.
This kind of torture deserves to be called "cursed by the gods", okay? !
Reincarnation after reincarnation, each time lasting at least several decades. The other person's experience might be wonderful, dull, or dark, but no matter which one it was, he could not interfere in other people's lives.
When you are angry, you can only rage. When you are depressed, you have no one to complain to. When you are happy, you can only laugh secretly like an idiot, with no one to share your joy. You have to watch unknown creatures communicate the true meaning of life, watch the ecological environment of the law of the jungle, and watch photosynthesis day after day...
How can this be a life for human beings?!
How can this be the mental torture that a human being can endure? !
Even if he didn't have a sensory connection with that object, just watching it was already miserable! !
"How many times have you reincarnated?" Kira couldn't help but ask.
[I have forgotten it for a long time! ]
Don't remember? So many times?!
[The subjects are all unknown plants , animals, humans, demons, dragons... Plants are the most torturous, the most boring, and the longest; fish are the most terrifying! The seabed is really terrifying! ! ]
“…”
So miserable!! Just listening to it makes me feel miserable!!
[By the way, did you know that some fish can change their gender, some birds lay their eggs in other birds’ nests, and some...]
Ah, the useless knowledge has increased!
Although he felt sorry, Kira still interrupted the other person and said, "So you are out of prison for the first time? But I am curious, why did you find me? My previous position is far away from here!"
"And you said the frequency and duration of the possession of the stone statue is unknown, but it has been several days now, right?"
[Only wizards who meet the magic power requirements can feel the call of my magic wavelength; as for the duration, do you know what "jumping reincarnation" means? ]
“…”
[Let me put it this way, the voice that attracted you here, the voice you heard before, was me at some time in the past or future, not me who is talking to you now! ]
[I am now, and have only been possessed by the stone statue for less than a day.]
puff--!!!
“How many reincarnations and how many ‘releases’ would it take to have this kind of probability?!!”
Kira was really shocked. Could this be the legendary fourth-dimensional person who could jump in different times within the same space? !
No wonder the other party's calls have been intermittent these days. I thought he was tired and had no energy left. It turned out to be this reason...
"How long can you last in this state? How about I try to get you out using the separation attachment?"
[Thank you for your kindness, but it's useless! I am no longer attached to the stone statue. To be precise, it has become a tool for me to communicate with the outside world.]
[Also, since I first communicated with the outside world through the stone statue, it has become a thing that 'time cannot leave a mark on it, but once it leaves here, it will be destroyed immediately', so there is no need to think about taking me out. ]
"What would happen if the statue was destroyed?"
[It might turn out to be a situation like 'Future reincarnation can only be in the past'... Or it could be worse! I don't know if there will be a second one like this, so please go easy on me...]
How humble...
Kira suddenly felt that the topic was very heavy.
"Well... let's talk about something else! You should have been to the future, right? Can you tell me something about the future or magic?"
[No way! Because the future can be changed, so no matter what happens in the future or the products of the future era, I can't pass it on to you in any form! ]
[What I did before, talking about the habits of some creatures, is already the limit of my ability. 】
"Really? I thought so! After all, that's why you were cursed..."
Kira nodded to show his understanding, then took out the 'Book of Wisdom' and the note from a while ago: "Then can you help me translate this? You have reincarnated so many times, you must have learned a lot of languages, right?"
[I have reincarnated too many times...the languages are all mixed together, so I may not recognize all of them...]
Then what's the use of you?!
Kira complained in his heart, but still held the 'magic book' in front of the statue and spread it out: "Recognize as much as you can!"
Ten minutes later...
Kira asked expectantly, "How is it? Can you translate it? What does it say?"
[It is possible, but it is useless to tell you. It is an ancient notebook that systematically , but it is added with magic. As long as you have enough understanding of magic, you can naturally interpret and use the magic in it. If you don't have enough understanding, it will be useless even if you know the meaning.]
I already knew these things!!
After hearing this nonsense explanation, Kira's face darkened and he immediately turned around and left the hall.
"goodbye!"
The cold voice made the poor guy, who had finally been spoken to, instantly anxious.
[Wait...wait a minute!! Come back! Please don't leave! Talk to me a little more! ]
No one responded...
Three seconds later, Kira walked in again, holding the ancient notebook he had obtained a while ago: "I'll give you another chance to read the contents of this notebook."
【well……】
The poor creature's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
[Well... the above story is about a god named Saturnus, who left a magic in human society that can guide the earth's energy with magic power, thus ensuring that the local area is not affected by bad weather. ]
Kira: “…”
[It's just a historical document, not too big ... Hey! Where are you going?! Don't leave! I'm doing this for you——]
“What a waste of time!”
Kira walked away again without looking back, leaving only a ruthless back view for the other party. "I thought I could analyze the text and learn new magic, but in the end, I got nothing."
Just as he stepped out of the palace, the shouting voice behind him disappeared.
"Huh? The sound disappeared? Oh, so he must have been locked up again? How pitiful!"
After a second of silence for this poor guy who didn't even have time to ask his name, Kira turned around and left the town.
Originally, he came here out of curiosity about the sound, but after finding out the reason, he naturally didn't want to stay in this deserted and ghostly place any longer.
Adventure is like opening a blind box, which can be thrilling or dull. If I were to say what I gained from this trip, it would probably be visiting the so-called "City of Time" and learning about the "Curse of the God of Time".
After knowing this man's story, Kira became more determined to stop Zeref from starting a war!
According to the original plot, the war will start in about seven years, but no one knows whether Jellal will suddenly start the war earlier. It is undoubtedly foolish to pin such a thing on the so-called "plot"!
"It seems like we have been in the Western Continent for almost three months, right? Hmm... it's almost time for everyone to return as planned, so why don't we gather in the capital first?"
"If we go back a few days later, we won't be able to catch up with this year's S-level assessment!"
"By the way, put that notebook back before you leave. What kind of rubbish is worthy of gathering dust in my warehouse?!"
Kira boarded the magic airship with a curse, started the engine and turned the steering wheel, and according to his memory, he flew directly towards the town where he had stayed a few days ago, leaving two white smoke tails in the sky.
