Chapter 628: Take away the space-time rift, leaving Jellal with nothing to absorb
Change Days of Future Past into a parallel universe?
You really dare to think and do it!
So, have you been eating too much in the past seven months? Has that cake shop on the street started launching a new product every week? No matter how greedy you are, you can't eat like this!
The afternoon sun was warm , but Kira only felt his scalp was chilly at this moment. He didn't know whether it was because the air had become colder recently or his hair had become thinner.
Hoplite seemed not to notice Kira's strange look, and said to himself: "The world we live in now is different from the moment I crossed over!"
"Because in my timeline, no one came to find me seven months ago. In other words, the current time and space are completely different from the time and space I was originally in!"
"As long as you don't do research in this area like I did and don't use Eclipse after seven months, the difference between the two worlds will be even greater!"
I know this. Future Lucy and Future Rogue are examples of this!
Kira picked up the fork on the table and took a big bite of the cake, then raised the vanilla latte and took a small sip to moisten his throat, then he set his eyes on Hopelet again.
"Until the eclipse is broken or I die, the two time and space must be parallel worlds! But it will be difficult to keep this situation all the time! What are you going to do?"
"And most importantly, how are you going to get back?"
It's the same logic. If the other party's plan succeeds, but there is no way back, then creating a parallel world is completely meaningless; but if you go back, everything you have done before will be at risk of failure.
"How can you guarantee that your original world will not disappear after you return?"
"How can I guarantee that my current time and space will not be significantly negatively affected?"
These three questions in a row are the problems that Hopelet must solve, and they are also the problems that Kira needs to consider.
If it will affect his current time and space, Kira will definitely not ignore the other party's behavior, even if the other party is his future self.
Future Rogue in the original work has already proved that even the same person may become evil because of something, so even if Hopelet is his future self, Kira cannot believe it completely.
“Hehehe…don’t worry!”
"First of all, it's a matter of world safety. If the situation gets out of control, the worst that can happen is that I will destroy the Eclipse and declare the experiment a failure. Then I will return to my original world in disgrace."
Hopelet obviously thought of Kira's concerns and prepared a simple and crude response plan of starting over. "Anyway, when I go back, I will naturally know whether my original world was erased or became a parallel world."
"Of course, before I have to give up, I still want to struggle as hard as I can to see if there is any way to turn into a parallel world."
"You should be able to accept this, right?"
Kira's eye twitched: You are really fearless... But this is indeed my character!
"Can!"
"This is indeed the best backup. As long as it doesn't cause too much impact, I don't care even if you destroy the Kingdom of Fiore. After all, I am also very interested in your research topic."
Jellal created the Eclipse Gate to travel through time and space, but can’t he create an entire parallel world himself?
If I tell others about it, I will lose my identity as a time traveler!
For Kira now, what is important is undoubtedly his companions in the guild and some friends outside the guild. As long as Hopelet's actions do not affect their personal safety, it is not considered a serious situation.
Even if some of them lose everything because of this, he will not help.
No! He might lend them money, and then the situation will be...
Hehehe...you guys don't want people to know that you don't pay back your debts, right?
The strange laughter made Hopelet frown and his heart tightened suddenly.
Good man... Although I often laugh like this, it is to outsiders, or to my guildmates, not to myself!
Besides, laughing yourself and listening to others laugh are completely different feelings!
All of a sudden, Hopelet understood why the people in the guild looked at him strangely every time he laughed like this.
"What are you laughing at? You look so frivolous!"
"Nothing! I just suddenly thought of something happy."
I don't believe you! We are all the same person, why are you pretending to be a decent person in front of me?
The two of them saw through everything but didn't say it out loud, maintaining a unique tacit understanding.
"Hmm... this cake is really good! The latte is delicious too!"
Kira ate with relish and didn't leave any for Hopelet, who didn't care and just sat there quietly.
Time passes quietly in silence.
"Then comes the second point. How do we avoid the two worlds becoming one?"
"Hmm... Do you have any idea about this now?"
“Not yet!”
Hopelet sighed helplessly: "After all, this is my first attempt. I have never experimented before, so I don't know if I can maintain the parallel world forever. But I think if I can stay here until the time when I travel through time, the situation may be different."
Then why do you get dressed so early?
Kira rolled his eyes, then swallowed a big mouthful of the soft and tender cake. The sugar stimulated his taste buds and sent signals of "happiness" and "enjoyment" to his brain.
"You must be wondering why I got dressed so early! The answer is that I need enough time to study and use the power of time created by the solar eclipse."
"That is the time rift that Anna was going to use to deal with Acnorolia in the final chapter of the original work."
A crack in time? So bold?!
"Could it be possible that you have already found that thing?"
"Not yet! I don't know if it's because Anna hid it, or if I'm not able to find it, but I've spent several months and still haven't found it, so I will continue to look for it in the future!"
The action of digging the cake stopped suddenly.
Then why don’t you find it first and come back?
Hopelet put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and laughed, looking extremely proud: "When I get the power of the time rift, Jellal will have nothing to absorb in the future! Oh hahahaha..."
Now that Kira has a way to deal with the Calming Curse, it is very likely that Zeref will no longer absorb the "fairy heart" without regard for Mavis' safety as he did in the original work.
But whenever Kira thought of his confused expression when he found out that the power of the space-time rift was gone after he swore in front of everyone that he would absorb it, like in the original work, he felt relieved.
"Well said! I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"Finally, the third point is how to get back. How are you going to get back?"
Kira thought that the other party would answer with solutions such as using solar eclipses, space-time rifts, the astral world, or even the magic of the God of Time, but he was surprised by the other party's answer the next moment.
"I'm not going back!"
"puff--!!!"
"What did you say?!"
Kira spat out a mouthful of coffee and froze in a daze. For a moment, even the cake in his hand didn’t taste good anymore.
Hoplite seemed to not care at all. He looked at Kira and said, "It's normal, right? My goal is to complete the 'parallel world'. As long as I am still in this time and space, it means that the experiment is successful!"
Indeed, this is much better than coming and going, but...
"Are you kidding me?! I will never allow such a thing!"
Kira raised his voice unconsciously. He could get along well with Disper, but that didn't mean he could get along well with himself!
"And what about your world over there? Without you, everyone in the guild will be troubled, right?"
"And what about the real estate and money in that world...what should we do with them?!!"
The air fell silent in an instant.
A bad idea popped into Kira's mind.
Could it be bankruptcy?! No, no, no...the other party said they are not bankrupt!
Is there something wrong with the guild? No, no, no... If that were the case, then Hopelet's goal shouldn't be a parallel world, but a reversal of the future!
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, until Kira was about to say "I'm going to smash the Eclipse Gate right now", when Hopelet said something shocking again.
"Haven't you figured it out by now, Kira?"
"You should be able to see that although I have the same type of magic power as you, my magic power is far less than yours! This is not the influence of the solar eclipse, nor is it some world rejection. The reason is simpler than that!"
A strange light flashed in the sky-blue eyes.
"I'm not a human, I'm a cyborg!"
