Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

The sound of waves hitting the beach became the first sound Ziggy heard again.

He should have stayed in the troposphere, but now he has returned to the beach of Tenrou Island without knowing when. Not only him, but also the people of Fairy Tail who had already escaped far away have now returned to Sieg's side.

"Eh?"

"What, what's going on?!"

"Why are we back?!"

The unexpected situation left everyone in a state of confusion that they could not understand at all.

Among the crowd, Carula quickly came to Sieg and looked at the [Sieg] who looked exactly like Sieg: "Lord Sieg, what just happened was... [Time Reversal], and it was a [Time Reversal] for the entire world, how on earth-"

"I don't know...but what is certain is...he did it."

Sieg stared at the [Sieg] standing on the sea and took a step forward: "What on earth are you——"

"Hmm? Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just trying to sense the location of the black dragon. Judging from the distance, it will take about half a day for it to come back. That's after it figures out where it is and its relative position to us. In fact, it will take about a month for it to come back to us."

[Sieg] turned around and looked at Sieg and the others.

When everyone in the guild saw his appearance, they all exclaimed in surprise!

"Huh? Sieg...there are two Siegs?!"

"Hallucination?!"

"I shouldn't be dreaming..."

Two Zigs.

Apart from the different clothes they were wearing and the fact that [Sieg] looked older and had longer hair, there was almost no difference between the two men. It was basically like they were looking in a mirror!

Walking on the seawater to the shore, [Zig] glanced at everyone and said, "Let me ask you, what year is it now?"

".....X784."

After a pause, Makarov said, "December 784, X12."

“Is that so? I went back to 30 years ago in this timeline? As expected, there are still too many unstable factors when crossing timelines. But this magic can only be used once. As long as I can get here accurately, it doesn’t matter—cough cough cough—!”

Before he could finish his words, [Sieg] suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, coughing continuously, with streams of blood dripping from his fingertips.

Zieg was stunned when he saw this.

Blood?

I actually vomited blood?

"Are you...really me?"

Sieg asked in a deep voice.

Everyone else frowned at Sieg's question, but only Carula and [Sieg] reacted.

"Haha... Indeed, this is probably one of the few differences between you and me... My regeneration ability is not as good as it used to be."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, [Sieg] stood up and looked at Sieg: "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Sieg, Sieg Feld, but in order to distinguish me here, you should call me [Griffith], it's more convenient."

"Griffith..."

"——【King of Wings】."

Sieg and Carula looked at each other, and both saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

Both of them are Wing Kings, so they could naturally see it just now.

The magic that Griffith used to block Acnologia's attack was undoubtedly [Space Magic], and the magic he used just now was undoubtedly [Time Magic].

He is the same as Scarlet! He is a user of [Time and Space Magic]!

"...Do you admit that you are the King of Wings?"

Ziggy asked, frowning.

Griffith smiled bitterly. "It's nothing to admit or not admit. It's just that this is the only name I can say besides [Sieg]. It's just for convenience."

"...You just said, [this timeline]? What does that mean?"

"literal meaning."

Griffith gathered magic power at his fingertips and drew a line in the air that looked like a big tree.

"I believe you should know the theory of parallel worlds, right? I came here from another parallel world - you in the parallel world. And in terms of time, I come from the future about 30 years from now."

"Me in a parallel world... 30 years later?"

(Ms. Brunhilde, what do you think?)

[Regarding this point, the Crimsonhead and the Dragon Slayer System have just made a judgment.]

He didn't lie

[Because similar incidents have occurred many times before, and some of them were caused by former contractors, relevant information is kept in the database.]

[After comparing and analyzing the data, we can verify the authenticity of his words - he is indeed from a parallel world, and is Lord Sieg from ten years later]

"......"

"It seems that you have already received the answer from Brunhilde?"

Seeing Sieg's silence, Griffith smiled slightly.

(By the way, if he is also me, then it means that he is also a contractor──)

"So, what is the reason you came to me?"

“——【To help you】.”

Griffith said bluntly.

Zig frowned: "Help me?"

"Yes - let's talk about the details somewhere else. I haven't been back to the Cresthied for several years. I don't know what the situation is like here."

"...Okay, but you have to wait a moment."

Sieg glanced at the people around him and said, "I need to sort out the affairs of everyone in the guild first."

"Well, okay, I'll go take a rest first, cough cough cough!"

As he spoke, Griffith coughed up a large mouthful of blood again!

This made Sieg look at him with an even more strange look - since it was Sieg who said the same thing, was the regeneration ability of his own self in the parallel world too weak?

41. The man who lost everything four times

Thirty minutes later.

On board the Climbhide.

“Drip~~~~Drip~~~~”

As the mechanical device sounded, the cabin filled with special liquid slowly flowed into the pipe underneath, and the bulkhead separating the inside and outside was lowered.

Griffith slowly landed on the floor, grabbed his cloak beside him and put it on, walked out of the room he was in with ease, and came to the bridge of the Crest.

Zieg and others who were staying here all cast their eyes on him, and after a moment of silence, Xijing Ningyin was the first to speak.

"I never thought something like this would actually happen... Sieg from the parallel world - they really do look exactly the same."

"Having said that, I'm about 30 years older than me here, right? I'm in my s now."

Griffith smiled and said, "However, although there are many crew members here, just like my Clinshid, I don't know any of them. They are all strangers."

Griffith doesn’t know Xijing Ningyin and others?

Zigg frowned slightly: "Haven't you been to Earth 53 and Earth 94?"

"No." Griffith shook his head. "Compared to this, after looking at the results of my physical examination, you have completely confirmed my identity, right?"

30 minutes ago, after settling all the people of Fairy Tail, Sieg brought Griffith back to the Crest and gave him a full set of physical examinations and even treatments.

However, the test results surprised everyone.

The physical similarity between Griffith and Sieg is infinitely close to 100%, and it can be confirmed that the two are the same person in different timelines. There is a precedent for this in the database of the Crainshed, so there is no mistake.

But compared to Sieg, Griffith's situation is quite bleak.

Almost all of his internal organs were broken down. Although they were still there, he was just like an old man who was terminally ill. If it weren't for the strong magic power in his body that was forcibly supporting his body, he would have died long ago.

No matter whether he was treated with healing hot springs, high-tech healing devices, or magical devices, his physical condition could not be changed.

According to Carula's diagnosis, Griffith's current condition is as if his [time] is fixed at the moment of his death, but it is also a bit like using too much time magic, so that his body has suffered backlash - but how is this possible?

He is the King of Wings, the Dragon King who can control both time and space. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for him to be attacked by time magic and space magic.

Of course, because of this, his regenerative ability, which should have been comparable to Sieg's, was suppressed to the lowest level, almost to non-existent.

"......How did you become like this?" Sieg couldn't help but ask.

"It was just that while traveling in space, I encountered a powerful enemy that I could not defeat no matter what."

Griffith smiled bitterly. "Does it sound incredible? But in the vast universe, even an identity like the [King of Wings] is actually not a big deal. There are many beings beyond our imagination in the universe."

"Let me put it bluntly - in my timeline, 10 years after the present, I accidentally drove into a wormhole and arrived in a universe with completely different laws from this universe. There, I encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. The Crest was shot down, and everyone except me died."

"I used [Time Rewind] at the last moment and went back to before entering the wormhole, but that powerful enemy's attack was even able to transcend time and hit us in the past."

Griffith covered his heart and said, "The result is that after I tried my best, I thought I saved them again, but in the end I still couldn't escape the predetermined ending. I lost everything and fell to this planet. I was picked up by Fairy Tail, joined the guild, and lived there for 20 years."

At this point, Griffith pulled his cloak down a little so that everyone could see the red guild emblem on his neck.

Sieg glanced at the back of his hand.

"That being said, I only lived in the guild for a short eight years." Griffith changed the subject and said, "Eight years later, the guild was destroyed, along with all the civilizations on this planet."

"destroy?!"

There are some incredible futures that surprise everyone.

Sieg's brows furrowed even more tightly. "What caused the destruction? The existence from outside the universe that seriously injured you?"

"No, I think it's enough for that being to cross time and space and the universe to strike me, right? - It was Acnologia." Griffith said in a deep voice: "About 8 years ago, Acnologia destroyed this world. Only a very small number of survivors survived. I can be regarded as the leader of those survivors, leading them to fight against Acnologia."

"But... I can't kill Acnologia in my current state."

Griffith clenched his hands.

Stella couldn't help but ask: "But didn't you just block its attack easily? And you even moved it to an unknown place. How could you not be able to defeat it?"

"Well, it's easy to block its attack, but I can't give it even one effective attack - you all saw it just now, it's a dragon that can devour magic. If it were me in my prime, I wouldn't be afraid of it, but now I'm like this..."

Griffith sighed: "At present, I can no longer use any magic except time magic and space magic, and once I use magic, all the old injuries on my body will relapse. I tried my best to fight against Acnologia in the future, but until 30 years later, all the survivors except me... were wiped out."

"Once again, I was unable to protect anything, and could only feel despair in a world where I was the only one left alive."

Griffith spoke calmly, but everyone looked at him with sympathy and a little sadness.

He accidentally entered another universe and everything he had was destroyed by an unknown entity.

After trying his best to go back in time and thinking he had saved other people again, he was hit by a blow that spanned time and space and lost everything, crashing onto a completely unfamiliar planet.

The shelter they finally regained was destroyed by Acnologia several years later.

In the end, after more than 20 years of resistance, he ended up with only one survivor except himself being wiped out, and he was left alone on the desolate land, tasting despair.

What kind of mood did he have when he said these words?

These were obviously the old scars that he was most reluctant to mention, but now he had spoken them all out...

Sieg looked at his other self with complicated eyes.

Griffith smiled nonchalantly, "Don't look at me like that. I don't care about the past anymore. I won't live long anyway. The only thing I want to do now is to help you fight against the black dragon."

"This is the only thing I want to do before I die."

"That's also why I crossed the timeline to come to you."

42. The Future of Destruction
