Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 78 The Magic of Time and a New Journey
From a God's perspective, Endymion knew that the "Eclipse Gate" was invented by Jellal, but the details of how he got the inspiration and how he made it were unknown.

Now, he may have touched upon one of the secrets of the "Eclipse Gate".

There is no need to explain much about the old "Eclipse Gate". As for the "New Eclipse Gate" that Zeref is trying to reset the world with, it requires at least two major requirements to activate.

1. "Endless magic."

2. "The magic of time".

By absorbing the "heart of the fairy", Zeref can obtain "endless magic power", and even space and time are under his control.

As for the "magic of time", also known as the "magic of nothingness", it is the magic that only exists in the "gaps between time".

Once he possesses "Infinite Magic Power" and "Magic of Time", Zeref can transform from a "Dark Mage" to a "White Mage", and has the ability to open the "New Eclipse Gate", return to the past, and reset the world.

If Zeref can really achieve this, then it is no exaggeration to call him the God of the New World.

The "Fairy's Heart" is actually Mavis's magic power, which contains the "Curse of the God Anxelram".

The "magic of time" is due to the opening of the "Old Eclipse Gate", which created the "gap in time" and the "magic of time", which contains the "magic of the god Chronos".

When Jellal is at his wit's end, he wants to use them so that he can return to the happy past and live in the time when his family is still alive.

For this, he could even give up his lover Mavis in the old world.

The "magic of time", also known as the "magic of nothingness", is described as "the "power of nothingness" that exists in the "gap between time" and belongs neither to light nor to darkness."

Coincidentally, the same expression also appears when describing the magical power that the "Magic King" Augustus possessed from birth.

In other words, the "magic of time" and the "magic of nothingness" can exist in the "gap between time" and are also the magic of nothingness that can be born from the combination of two "Cursed Gods of Anxelram".

Zeref probably knew about the existence of "The Magic of Time" and "The Gap of Time" a long time ago and sealed it away.

Just like the "Fairy's Heart", he knew roughly where it was and it was easy for him to obtain it, but he knew that once he got them all, there would be no turning back.

The "New Eclipse Gate" has always been his last resort. He will only activate it when he is sure that Natsu cannot kill him and he does not want to live in the apocalypse ruled by the "Black Dragon" Acnologia.

The "Grimoire of Chronos" that Auguste gave to Endymion naturally did not mention so much detailed information, but simply mentioned some technical terms.

Endymion completes most of the information through the memories he possesses from a God's perspective.

He closed the Grimoire of Chronos.

Maybe one day, I will be able to use the "gap in time" and "magic of time" mentioned here.

The next day, Endymion woke up Brandish, who had not yet gotten up at noon. After she had packed and dressed, the two said goodbye to Demaria and set off.

When Brandish turned around, he saw Timaria standing there. Timaria had become a small black shadow, and seemed to be waving to them.

When she turned around, she found that Endymion had been walking forward without looking back.

Soon, they located the third person on this journey to Ishgar—"Judge" Val. A massive, shuttle-shaped ship came to rest before them, and numerous golems in mechanical armor were carrying boxes of goods from the warehouse into the airship.

There was a floating laptop in front of the hunchbacked Val. He was typing on the keyboard quickly, making a clicking sound. The heavy dark circles under his eyes proved that he had not slept well recently.

He tilted his head to glance at Endymion and Brandish, then focused on the computer screen again.

"It'll be done soon... This is the last batch... What a hassle... Hehehehe... I heard there are over 3,000 'Magic Pulse Bombs - Fis' buried all over the continent of Ishgar... This time we'll have a lot of work..."

Although Val's voice was weak, from his laughter and the curve of his mouth, it can be seen that he was quite excited.

"It's okay, we can wait."

Endymion replied.

Brandish crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the huge warship in silence.

Val was typing away at the keyboard again, making strange laughs, as if he had seen something very interesting. After a while, he spoke again.

"Endymion, your Castle of Demons should be able to swallow my battleship, right? I want to take it with me to the continent of Ishgar."

Endymion looked up at the huge warship.

"It's no big deal. If the Anywhere Gate can't hold it, I still have the Dark Vortex, which is large enough to accommodate this battleship. I'll transfer it out after we reach the Ishgar continent."

"Ah...that's good, that's good."

The reason why they did not fly directly to the Ishgar continent on a warship was because the warship was too large and there was a certain possibility that the Ishgar continent would capture their tracks.

Val's mission is to destroy the more than 3,000 "Magic Pulse Bombs - Fes" scattered across the continent of Ishgar, as well as the "Magic Spirit Power" released by the wizards.

The latter is easy to deal with, but the former requires a long time to search, locate and destroy because of the large number and unknown exact burial location, and the entire process needs to be kept secret.

Otherwise, they might destroy less than a few "Magic Pulse Bombs·Fis" before being noticed by the Magic Council, and then be forced to forcibly activate the "Magic Pulse Bombs·Fis", which would be counterproductive.

After a while, Val's mechanical puppets finally moved all the cargo, and the battleship's door slowly closed.

Val folded up the floating laptop, making it look like a handbag and carried it in his hand, then looked at Endymion and nodded.

Endymion understood and stretched out his hand. The moment the magic circle was activated, a huge "dark vortex" appeared. It devoured the battleship bit by bit until it was completely swallowed up.

After the "Dark Vortex" disappeared, Endymion opened the "Gate of Anything".

"Now that we are ready, let's go."

They entered the "Gate of Anything" one after another and embarked on a journey to the continent of Ishgar, and they would act separately after arriving at the continent of Ishgar.
