I, Yhwach, join the chat group

Erza stood there blankly, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

At the same time, Irene appeared at the main gate of the royal capital.

She sighed, feeling a little helpless.

"Don't you want your daughter anymore?"

Suddenly, the voice of the shadow demon was heard.

Then, the black shadow floated and condensed into a shape.

"Dream Messenger..." Irene frowned, "When did you follow me?"

"From the very beginning. It was a touching mother-daughter reunion. I'm not so confused about Feng Qing that I want to interrupt."

The shadow demon chuckled twice and said, "However, I came to you because I have something to say."

"What a coincidence! I'd also like to meet the leader of your organization." Irene said, "Since you've come to me, you go ahead and speak first."

"Well, let's get straight to the point."

The shadow demon considered his words carefully for a long moment before saying, "Do you...want to go back 400 years?"

Chapter 295: Going to the Mission 400 Years Ago

[Second update~]

……

"Do you want to go back 400 years?"

Hearing this suddenly, Irene couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

The shadow demon spoke calmly, "We have the ability to send people back 400 years."

The magic of time?

Irene's heart raced as she pondered the meaning of Menghuan's words.

What benefits would it bring to her if she were sent back 400 years? What was the reason for doing so?

She didn't worry about whether these words were true or not. With her dreamlike ability, she could believe them about 70% of the time.

Of course, if it were someone else, she would have cast a spell on them long ago. Traveling through time and space, is that a joke?

After a long while, she asked, "What's the purpose?"

"The purpose is simple. We need you to help us do something."

The Shadow Demon chuckled and said, "400 years ago, you were the queen of a country. You had great power and the force you could mobilize was enough to accomplish that task."

"Why not just say it?" Irene pressed.

Seeing this, the Shadow Demon said, "If I remember correctly, 400 years ago, there was a great war between dragons. One group of dragons fed on humans, while the other sided with humans. This war between the two groups is the origin of the Dragon King Festival. As the queen of a country, you led the human race to form an alliance with the giant dragons to fight against the evil dragons, is that correct?"

"Unfortunately, I later transformed into a dragon," Irene said, shaking her head. "I created dragon-slaying magic and mastered the power of the wise dragon Belserion. But in the end, the dragon within me couldn't be suppressed, and my body gradually mutated, leading to... being deserted by everyone!"

First, dragon scales appeared on the face, and then gradually, dragon scales appeared on the legs, waist, abdomen, and back.

Being too deep into dragon slayer magic, Irene, the first dragon slayer wizard, had a tragic end.

The human side, fearing Irene's power, imprisoned her and decided to execute her.

"You were already pregnant with Erza at that time, right?"

The shadow demon raised an eyebrow. "And your father was a great general of the kingdom. However, after you began your dragon transformation, that man became terrified of you, and it was he who ordered your execution. For the sake of your unborn child, you fought for your life, and the King eventually transformed you into a giant dragon."

After that, she escaped and hid in the mountains and forests, away from disputes. Hundreds of years later, she met Zeref. With Zeref's help, she turned back into human form and gave birth to Erza.

"Have you ever regretted it?"

"Of course I regret it!" Irene's eyes were cold, and her tone was full of disgust without disguising: "I must be blind to fall for that kind of man."

"Hehehe..."

The Shadow Demon nodded. "Now, I'll give you the chance to go back 400 years. You can change history as you wish. Even if you killed that man 400 years ago before you fell in love with him, it would be no problem."

Qin Yang had naturally read quite a few novels, such as the rebirth type, where the protagonist returns to his youth and embarks on revenge, which is very common.

If you give Irene a little temptation now, she will be obedient.

Perhaps she understood what Shadow Demon meant, and Irene was actually quite moved.

If she had to say who she hated the most in her life, it would be her stupid self back then. The second person she hated the most would be that scumbag general.

Of course, before the Shadow Demon gave her dragon blood and completely restored her to humanity, even Erza was the object of her resentment.

However, she has recovered now, and the resentment she had towards her daughter has disappeared. Instead, she feels a little guilty, so much so that after meeting just now, she asked Erza not to have anything to do with her. After all, she is now a member of the dark magic world.

However, she has lived for 400 years after all, and she will not be easily led by the nose.

"I understand what you mean. You don't have to tempt me. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll naturally decide whether to agree. Besides, I owe you a favor, and as long as it's within my ability, I'm willing to repay your kindness."

"I like people like you who are straightforward."

The Shadow Demon laughed and said, "What we want you to do is very simple. We will open a door that connects to the past 400 years. You can go through the door to the world 400 years ago. Once there, you need to lure all the dragons that were wreaking havoc in that era into the door and send them to this era!"

The Eclipse Gate can indeed allow the dragon from 400 years ago to descend into this world, but the process is not certain.

After all, it is just a door, and it does not have the function of actively searching for the giant dragon and sending the giant dragon into this era.

Therefore, Qin Yang chose Irene.

In fact, the Time and Space Fish can do this, but traveling through 400 years is dangerous and it is better to find an agent just in case.

"I see... your target is the giant dragon?"

Irene raised her eyebrows, "Two questions."

"explain."

"First, after completing the mission, how do I return to this era?"

"That's easy. You just need to go through that door and you can come back. There's no need to worry about that."

"Secondly, if I had changed that era, would the present world have changed? For example, if I had saved the Kingdom of Dolagnov from destruction, would that country still exist 400 years from now?"

"will not."

The shadow demon answered very confidently: "I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that if you had not fallen in love with that general 400 years ago, you would not have conceived Erza. If you had stopped this, would it cause the current Erza to disappear?"

Irene gritted her teeth, feeling a bit annoyed by Shadow Demon, a guy who could see through her thoughts at a glance.

"Don't worry, if you change the past, only a parallel world will appear, and this era will not be affected in any way. Are you aware of the existence of Edras?"

"Edras?" Irene's heart moved, "I see."

Edras, another world. Fairy Tail exists in that world, but it is completely different from this world. The people in that world cannot use magic on their own.

It was as if all the magic particles in nature had disappeared.

Does this look like the wasteland after a nuclear explosion?

Of course, the nuclear explosion is just a metaphor. In the hands of the Council, there is indeed a super magic weapon that can instantly make the magic of the entire world disappear.

Qin Yang guessed that the reason why that parallel world came into being was that someone had used that kind of weapon and changed history.

"Now, do you understand?" said the Shadow Demon at last.

"I understand. I've done this. As for when to start, please let me know in advance."

Irene nodded, then smiled and said, "Now that you've finished your story, it's my turn. I'd like to meet your president. After meeting him, I'll consider joining your Dream League."

"Let's talk about it after you complete the mission. If you want to join us, every member will have to undergo an assessment before joining. This mission will serve as your assessment."

Leaving behind a sentence, the shadow demon waved his hand and turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

"Also, it's too late for you to tell Erza to get involved with you. She's been our chosen candidate from the very beginning... Otherwise, who do you think told her her name was Belserion? Hehehe. You don't have to resist so much. Your daughter's talent is much better than yours!"

puff!

The figure disappeared.

Irene's smile suddenly froze. Now, after she regained her human form, the only thing she cared about most was Erza!

Chapter 296 The Elemental World of the Elemental Lord

[Third update~]

……

The only thing Irene cares about most now is Erza.

Although she abandoned Erza in the past, she had nurtured the child for hundreds of years before giving birth to her. Now that she has regained her human body, she naturally does not want to hurt Erza again.

Now, judging from Shadow Demon's tone, it seemed that he had been targeting Erza for a long time, which gave her a headache.

"Hope it doesn't become troublesome..."

Irene was thinking secretly in her heart, considering how to make Mew give up Erza. After all, a mysterious and dangerous organization like Mew is not a good thing for Erza.

……

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

The second day of the Great Demon Fighting Show, the third round of the individual competition.

Compared with yesterday, there are more people present today. The entire venue can accommodate 10 people, but it was already full early on.

The atmosphere was lively and lively, with footage of yesterday's game playing on the big screen.

When it reached exactly eight o'clock, the host finally appeared on the big screen.

"Good morning, everyone. Friends of Fiore, and those from abroad who have traveled thousands of miles to watch the third round of the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Tournament. I'm the host, Pico. We meet again. Yes, I'm the host again today."

Pique was dressed in a suit and tie with a red bow tie on his collar, looking like a gentleman.

"After the fierce battles of the first two rounds, only 3 contestants remain from the over 2000 who registered for the individual competition. Each of them is a powerful wizard, and each one is an elite one among hundreds. Today, the third round will determine the top 100!"

At this point, the host paused for a moment before saying, "First, let me introduce the guests."

The guests are still the same three people from yesterday, Mira, Hyperion, and the Lord of Elements.

"Welcome the three guests. Regarding the specific rules of today's third round, please explain to Miss Mira."
