Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Also, let me remind you that if you continue to be involved in magic that can change time and history, there probably won’t be a next time.”

Conanshan did not give the red-haired girl in front of him any chance to speak, nor did he allow her to resist.

When he said this, he had already completed the rewriting of the past.

He didn't know the magic to erase other people's memories, nor did he cast a spell on the old witch who had regained her youth.

What he did was more simple and direct.

He retained the existence of the red-haired girl in front of him, but he burned certain things through the power of the Time Gear.

What he erased was the old witch's experience in researching time magic, which was a part of her past.

The old witch Shadaya Lorraine, who has spent her entire life pursuing the magic of time, is as good as never having existed.

In the past history, there was only one nameless old magician named Shadaya Lorraine who died alone.

Her research on time magic and all her knowledge were gone.

Everything she had done was burned by the Time Treasure.

However, Diana Barcrest, who possesses the memories and emotions of the dead old witch, or is actually Diana herself, still exists.

The paradox of time does not occur because the world automatically repairs the trivial loopholes.

What Conan-san did would not cause any fluctuations in time and space, nor would it change history.

This is quite contradictory and impossible in theory, but through the use of the Time Artifact, the burning of time, and the automatic repair mechanism of the world, a balance is cleverly achieved, achieving the equivalent of rewriting and manipulating time that has never happened.

There was a look of confusion in Diana Barcrest's eyes.

She seemed to have forgotten something very important.

She stared blankly at the void in front of her.

She did not forget who she was, she was still herself, but she knew that she had lost something that seemed very important.

There are certain things that you don't need now, and won't be allowed to need in the future, and which will be lost forever like a price.

"I have made all your efforts and hardships disappear, but I won't apologize because I kept what you wanted. If you want to be reborn, do it thoroughly."

Conan's voice seemed to be emotionless, and it awakened Diana Barcrest, whose real past had been erased.

Diana knew nothing and remembered nothing, but she already understood what kind of person she was in front of.

This is the ruler of time and the old days!

This is something that she, an ordinary magician, can never understand!

The beautiful red-haired girl's legs went weak and she trembled uncontrollably.

"Diana Barcrest, you should join the Magic Association and enroll in the Clock Tower."

Conan-san gave the other party this advice according to his wishes.

"You are now the last descendant of the only remaining magic nobles. You will have certain advantages in the Magic Association and the Clock Tower. I hope you can find out some information for me there. Don't worry, this is a deal, and I will pay you."

"I...ok."

The red-haired girl could only nod in agreement tremblingly.

Of course she knew that she couldn't refuse and she had no other choice.

"Very good, then let's exchange contact methods."

Conan-san forced a fake smile.

"I hope we can work together happily."

099 Strong and fragile

Conan returned to the Avengers Building in New York City, looking tired.

"What the hell is this..."

In fact, less than ten minutes have passed since Conan Mountain set out.

Everything went very smoothly without any problems.

He had thoroughly understood the situation and was prepared to deal with it.

He was able to confirm that the world's past and history had not changed drastically, and that the changes that had occurred were not even partial, but limited to individuals.

Moreover, the impact on the individuals involved is very limited, and nothing more will happen.

Having said that, this sudden shitty thing still made Conan-san feel exhausted.

Conan-san put away the time and space treasure that no longer responded.

The scale of time change is too small, and the time-space treasure can only be used once at most, and the time it can operate is not long.

If the full power of the Space-Time Treasure is really used, it will be a one-way time journey.

Although Conan-san had previously used the time-space treasure to confirm the location of the time changes, he did not actually travel through time.

All he did was to cross space and take one step to the place where the person who had changed time and history was.

After that, the burning of his past, which had changed history, had almost pushed the space-time treasure to its limit.

It folded again and crossed the space, returning to the human world, and the Time Treasure fell into sleep again.

"I don't know if I can trust that old lady who has regained her youth. Never mind. Since we all know their identities, I'll just leave it to my two reliable collaborators."

Conanshan's experience just now can be said to have come and gone quickly.

He only verbally warned the reborn old witch, but he had neither the time nor the means to bind her with a magic contract.

"Anyway, tell this to my two collaborators first."

Conanshan first called Lux ​​to report that he was safe, and then asked him to contact Luo Kell in the magic world.

"It's hard to explain over the phone. The three of us need to find a suitable place to talk about this. This matter could be big or small, but at least you all need to know about it."

One day later, the Chief Auror hid his identity and secretly entered the Avengers Building under the leadership of the second generation Dark Lord.

"To put it simply, there was an old magician who spent two hundred years creating a time magic that could change the past, a magic close to the concept of time travel, and actually changed herself. She had a new identity, a new name, and a new body... I roughly understand."

After Conan-san tried his best to explain in detail, Lux seemed to understand the situation quickly.

As for Luo Kyle, who remained silent, he also nodded to show that he understood.

"Ke, you said that you have destroyed the history of the other party's magic research, but you kept the person himself, and then, the woman was used as an insider to infiltrate the Magic Association... This is a good idea, but I want to ask, is the history of this timeline so easy to control?"

"It seems that you have secretly studied the time and history structure of the current only world line."

In this world line which can be called the New World, Conan, who had used the Time and Space Treasure, immediately realized what kind of magic research this super magic genius beside him might have done.

Rux smiled without changing his expression.

"So, Ke, what is the time structure of the world now?"

“It’s very strong, but also very fragile.”

Conan-san will summon his two collaborators today, not just to discuss the old witch who was reborn through time magic.

The emergence of magic that can rewrite time and history is indeed something worthy of attention, but there is a higher level of attention here.

"The savior of mankind left behind some... I don't know if it should be called a gift. In short, human time and history are almost indestructible. Even if aliens have a time machine or magic that can change the past, they have no way to affect human history. Unless the entire universe is destroyed, it is almost impossible to rewrite it. It is so solid."

Conan-san used the Time-Travel Gear yesterday. Even though he did not travel through time, he was able to observe the time and historical structure of the current human world.

It is obvious at a glance that the past of present humanity cannot be changed.

It is like the underlying rules written into this universe, which is absolutely absolute.

"But yesterday, an old witch completed the magic of time interference and achieved a feat that I couldn't do either. She achieved conceptual time travel and gave herself a new life."

A smile full of interest appeared on Lux's face.

"Ke, you should know why this is happening."

"This is the evil taste left by the savior of mankind. It is a gift but also a test..."

Conan-san resisted the urge to sigh.

"As you know, we once had a multiverse of human beings, but now this multiverse no longer exists. The world of human beings has become unique. It is precisely because of this concentrated uniqueness that we have obtained a very solid timeline that cannot be affected.

However, here, the trial of the savior of mankind is left, a loophole that should not exist."

"Could it be that……"

Rooks had obviously guessed it.

"No matter what technology or magic alien civilizations use, they cannot affect our human history and past. However, this does not include humans themselves, right?"

"That's it……"

Conan-san nodded heavily.

"This is why human history is very strong yet fragile... No external force can change our past, but if it is done from within, that is, by human hands, past history can be changed. This was unfortunately confirmed yesterday..."

“I think there’s no need to worry too much.”

Lukes laughed indifferently.

"If the time on our side changes, Ke, you will notice it immediately, right?"

“…That’s right.”

Although Conanshan didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the fact.

Once time and history change, the time and space treasure in his body that seems to have no response will be stimulated and awakened, and then gain the original power to start.

If a problem really occurs, Conan-san just needs to rush out, trace the source of the historical change, and then burn it down directly.

Directly solving the fundamental problem of changing history and time would be like nothing had ever happened.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation.

If the opponent has the ability to compete with the time and space treasure, Conanshan doesn't know what he can do.

"Well, Ke, it seems that this matter can only be handed over to you. Please become the guardian of time, or the legendary Old One." Lux smiled happily.

"What Old Ones... don't talk nonsense..."

Conan-san rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Let's not talk about this nonsense. Just remember it... Then, let's discuss the old witch who created the time magic that changed the past on her own and accomplished a miraculous feat."

100 Days of Peace

On the first day of the new year, Conan returned to Hogwarts.

"It's really not fun to celebrate the New Year alone."

Conan-Shan participated in the New Year's countdown celebrations in New York City. He blended into the crowded streets and became an inconspicuous celebrant.

However, he soon realized that attending such a lively celebration alone would only make him feel bored, and hearing the cheers of the people around him would only make him feel lonely.

Conan-san considers himself a homebody. In his previous life, he would never participate in such so-called countdown celebrations since he was a child. Even if someone invited him, he would find a way to refuse.

It is more comfortable to stay at home and watch TV than to go out and be crowded with people during holidays. This is a truth he has understood since he was a child.

This time he just had a sudden impulse and wanted to experience the way festivals are celebrated in different worlds.

Simply put, I'm bored to death.

Although XCOM and its partners have been very active in the human world recently, Conan-san has basically no use for them, so he really has a lot of time on his hands.

And as expected, he really didn't like this kind of thing at all.

"It's noisy, stuffy and hot. It's still winter..."

After the countdown ended, Conan-san left without hesitation and returned to the Avengers Building.

He had a good sleep, left a report to the Magical Advisory Group, and then took the noon express train back to Hogwarts.

Anyway, the new year has arrived and the winter vacation will be over in a few days, so it's time to go back.

Conan-san did not notify anyone before returning, so no one greeted him at the train station or the school gate. He returned to the dormitory and then used his pet owl to contact other people.

Not long after, the little girl Comet came to Conan-san's dormitory and called out to Conan-san loudly outside.

The dormitories at Hogwarts are separated by gender, and male and female students are usually prohibited from entering each other.

Even Comet, who was still young in appearance, could not have entered Conan-san's dormitory under the double insurance of the dorm supervisor and alarm magic.

"Uh……"
