You are all my wings...

When Jormungandr's words reached Leon's ears, another hidden seal on his chest suddenly glowed faintly.

Leon looked down and his heart stirred. Wasn't this the End Curse Seal that he had obtained a long time ago when he completed the [End Conquest] quest?

"Although I don't know when you became my servant, since you obtained the End Curse Seal that I don't know in which era, then help me out. After it's done, I will naturally give you the greatest reward."

She didn't mention what would happen if Leon didn't help. As soon as she finished speaking, Leon began to feel time outside his body rapidly rewinding.

laugh! ! !

Time and space are changing, flowing, and leaping!

This is not going against the current, but going with the current, accelerating the journey to the future!

With his current understanding of space and time, he quickly realized the direction in which time was flowing around him.

In other words, I can go back to the future?

Is it going back ten thousand years, or to the era of Elis Magiru? Or even further into the future?

Lyon looked back in the direction of the time jump and realized that Cheng Erhe's furious voice seemed to be coming from there. Even the temporarily opened spacetime tunnel was trembling violently, but the tremor was quickly suppressed by Yemenggalo and calm was restored.

……

I don't know how long I've been drifting along the river of time.

Leon discovers that his leap into the future is actually much slower than the speed of going against the current.

Normally, jumping downstream is faster.

'Is it because my physical resistance is getting stronger that the time it takes to travel has slowed down?'

'It's going to the future? But according to Terena's previous statements, shouldn't I continue going against the current?'

Feeling the power of the End flowing automatically around his body, Leon stopped paying attention and immediately activated fifteen modes. Taking advantage of this opportunity to jump and travel through the river of time, he practiced the eleventh-level Shadow combat technique that he had previously deduced in the spacetime tunnel.

According to the original schedule, the training should be completed in a few more days, and then the advancement to the eighth-level Phantom Walker can begin.

Originally, one could advance to the eighth rank by reaching the tenth rank and then sublimating, but now his upgrade items are very powerful, so the combat skill requirements are also higher.

Finally, when he successfully trained the Shadow-type combat technique to the eleventh level and sublimated it to the twelfth level using the fifteen modes, the surrounding spacetime resonated, and several wide spacetime rifts suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

The power of the end surrounding his body still had inertia, propelling him forward without stopping, and he crashed directly into the spacetime rift in front of him!

Boom!

After a moment of dizziness, Lyon quickly opened his eyes.

This place... seems to be a palace?

Just then, a beautiful girl of about ten years old with silver hair and a black dress was walking in the flowerbed. Hearing the noise, she looked up in surprise in Leon's direction.

Leon was stunned: "Macchiato?"

"Why are you calling me mother?"

The silver-haired loli spoke.

Chapter 563 Returning to All Things

"Is Macchiato your mother?"

"Yes, who are you, and why are you here?"

The silver-haired loli stared at Leon with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

Lyon observed carefully and found that her appearance had some of his charm.

Add to that Machiru's distinctive little tiger teeth and heterochromatic eyes, and it seems quite possible that this is indeed my child with Machiru.

It seems that this was the child she conceived before she entered the ranks of godhood.

For seven consecutive days, he was involved in some awkward interactions with Iris Orpheus, Marceau, and Macchiato, after which he was busy trying to ascend to godhood. From a timeline perspective, the two events are possible.

The girl in front of us looks to be around ten years old.

In other words, I've returned to eleven years into the original timeline?

According to the estimates at the time, the flood era should have ended in about ten years.

So, is the end of the Flood Era the 'end of time' that Jörmungandr mentioned?

Just as Leon was looking at the silver-haired loli lost in thought, she seemed annoyed by his gaze and shouted:

"Hey, if you don't answer, I'm going to activate a magic circle to suppress you here!"

Lyon snapped out of his daze and said, "It's a bit complicated to explain who I am. Where is Macchiato? Just have her come to see me, and you'll know who I am."

To his surprise, the silver-haired loli became even angrier after his reply, stomping her foot and saying:

"Hmph, everyone knows my mother is missing. Since you know her, you certainly wouldn't say that! I'll give you one more chance to answer! If your answer is wrong, I'll really activate the magic circle!"

Just then, as if hearing her voice, a large number of cavalrymen rushed over from outside the palace. Their iron boots pounded the ground, their silver armor was imposing, and their aura and military formation were quite solemn.

Lyon recognized the knights' uniforms and insignia as the typical attire of the Royal Court Knights.

"Protect Her Royal Highness!"

A knight drew his sword, shouted loudly, and charged forward, displaying a level six aura. The tip of his sword shimmered with dazzling light, quite impressive.

Princess?

Isn't she Macchiato's daughter? How did she become a princess?

Seeing this, Lyon didn't waste any words. Knowing that rambling would only waste time, he decided to use force to intimidate the other party first and then talk slowly.

Immediately, he activated the prototype of the time-system authority within his body.

Buzz!

The power of authority was tested, and the dozens of knights who had arrived instantly stopped in their tracks.

The silver-haired loli in the center, who was about to activate the magic circle, also felt the flow of magic power within her body stop and was stunned in place.

At the same time, Leon simply spread the nascent power of his authority outwards, demonstrating his presence to the surrounding area.

Before long, some powerful individuals at the seventh or eighth level or above were finally attracted by Lyon's demonstration. They unleashed poems from afar, causing the clouds to ripple, and flew over in all directions.

At best, the seventh and eighth ranks in the Eden Era that Lyon has reversed his way to can only be considered the middle stage of a major force, not even in the middle position. Lyon can easily crush a whole group with one hand now.

But in this era, he could definitely be considered to be at the very top of a power.

Finally, Lyon saw the figures he had been waiting for.

Several streaks of light flashed by, and a blue-haired elf, a red-haired dragon, and a black-haired human beauty landed one after another, looking at Leon with shocked and delighted expressions.

It was Hamra, Camille, and Ophimaso.

Ten years have passed in the original timeline, but the appearances of these three remain unchanged. They are still beautiful and charming, and their demeanor is even better than before. Moreover, their strength has also improved. Hamra and Camille have both reached the peak of the ninth level, while Ophimaso has just entered the ninth level. Each of them has their own powerful aura.

Clearly, they had benefited greatly from their previous ascension to godhood, and with Leon having developed their potential multiple times before, coupled with the loosening of the rules at the end of the era, their advancement in rank was much faster than during the four-part series.

After confirming each other's identities, they rushed over without hesitation, embracing Leon one after the other, and bursting into tears of joy.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding knights and the silver-haired loli were all dumbfounded.

Leon didn't say much, but gently stroked them to comfort them, and then whispered:

"I'm back."

[Hamla's favorability increased by 10%, current favorability is 192%, soul connection has been deepened]

[Currently, the deep load-bearing mode can be automatically activated for 10 hours every 24 hours.]

Camille's affection level increased by 10%. A temporal disorder was detected and has been restored. Current affection level is 130%, and the soul connection has been strengthened.

[Currently, a 4-hour deep invincibility mode can be activated automatically every 24 hours.]

[Ophima's favorability increased by 10%, current favorability is 134%, soul connection has been deepened]

[Currently, a 4-hour Deep Miracle Mode can be activated automatically every 24 hours.]

……

Half an hour later, the group's warm and intimate conversation came to an end.

On a bench in a spacious inner garden, the guard maids had all left, leaving only Leon with his three wives and a silver-haired loli.

"So, twelve years have passed since I disappeared? What major events have happened during this time? What happened to Machil? And what about Birelita, Iris, Baishaqilai, Kekeqi, Mshifisu, and Terena?"

Leon paused for a moment when Terena was mentioned.

Before that, he had briefly mentioned what had happened to him before, that is, being manipulated by a powerful person and going back to the past.

He was not prepared to go into any further details.

"Before we go, let me give you a brief introduction."

Of the three women, Ophimosa was already dressed as a queen, wearing a gilded crown, a long robe of gold silk, and a silver-sheathed sword inlaid with seven jewels at her waist, clearly having officially inherited the throne.

She beckoned to the silver-haired loli, beckoning her over.

"Her name is Lilith, she is your and Macchiato's daughter, and now she is also my goddaughter."

Lyon observed Ophie Marceau's expression and found that she was acting normally and did not seem to have any resentment towards the attribute of 'Macir's daughter'.

It seems that after more than a decade of preparation, Ophie Marceau has accepted her goddaughter.

“Lilith, come here. You have to call him Father. He is a great hero who stands tall and proud.”

Lilith stood beside Hamra. The rather arrogant demeanor she had when she first met Leon had vanished, replaced by a timid air. Her face was downcast, her cheeks flushed, as if she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

"Father...Father Emperor."

Lyon's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Even though I've experienced many setbacks, and spent a lot of time in forbidden zones like time loops and hell on life and death, my actual biological age should only be around 20 years old, right?

As a result, they ended up with a daughter who was over eleven years old...

He found that he was still completely unable to accept this physical and psychological gap, and he had not yet truly realized what it meant to be a father.

"Call me Dad or Father, it's fine. No need to be so formal."

Leon walked over and patted Lilith's head gently. And I must say, it felt really soft.

Lilith looked up: "Ba... Father, they all say you disappeared while fighting the ancient gods to protect humanity. Is that true? You're so powerful, can you help find Mother?"

Her voice still carried a hint of immaturity, and her gaze toward Leon held a mixture of longing, fear, and curiosity.

"I will do everything I can to solve these problems."

Leon nodded, then looked at Hamra and the other two:

"Let me briefly tell you about Machiru's situation. As for the others, I just checked, and it seems they're not in the capital either?"

The three women all looked somber when Machiru was mentioned.

Orpheus said, "To put it simply, Machiru is currently trapped in the deep space of the Auradu dungeon, and we cannot save her for the time being."

“The Aurado Dungeon? I once met Astalia, who also traveled back in time, and she told me that the Aurado Dungeon has disappeared.”

Lyon asked, puzzled.

According to the timeline, Astalia should have started going against the current two years ago.

"Yes, but it suddenly recovered six months ago, and it started expanding rapidly as soon as it recovered. So, Machiru and Iris joined forces to enter the dungeon, hoping to suppress it for a while."

Hamra explained.

Hearing this, Leon's heart sank slightly: "So, it's not just Macchiato who's missing, but also Iris?"

Just then, a loli elf with long light blue hair slowly walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Chapter 564 The Current Situation of the Women

This elf looked a little smaller than Lilith, but her appearance was quite similar to that of Iris Hamra. She had beautiful features, bright emerald eyes, and a slender, delicate figure, which reminded Leon of a younger version of Hamra he had seen before.

Her steps were calm and elegant. Despite her young age, she was very composed. When she reached the crowd, she first bowed to Hamra, followed by Ophimaso and Camille.

"I have met my mother, His Majesty, and Aunt Camille."
