223-Episode 221: The oracle of the goddess of the sun





 The one who emerged from the shining magic circle was the Sun Goddess (Altena).
 From a high place, glaring at everyone with a stare.
 It looks like she's in a bad mood........

 Not a lukewarm one like when Ila-sama descended earlier, but a suffocating pressure (pressure).
 Just by being exposed to the gaze of the Sun Goddess (Altena), the other party is sweating like a waterfall.

 No one utters a word.
 Silence reigned in the cathedral.


''The situation is serious........''
 Altena-sama spoke out quietly.

''The resurrected Great Demon King must have decided that he couldn't defeat you guys with his current strength....... He turned to the forbidden curse to overturn that situation.
'Forbidden...? What the hell is that?
 Princess Noel asked a question on behalf of everyone.





 I heard a gasp.
 Altering history...?
 What is that........what is it?

''A thousand years ago, the brave ones are about to die because of the magic of the Great Demon King (Eveleth). If that happens, all of history will be thrown out of whack.... No matter how many times you guys try to defeat the great demon king of the modern era, it will be in vain.......
 Master Ila continued with a dark look on his face.
 There was silence until everyone understood what it meant.
 Then there was a scream in the cathedral.

'Oh, no, it couldn't be!
It's an act of God!
Impossible!
 I've heard of it.
 A magic that sometimes interferes.
 A divine realm pursued by many wizards and yet to be realized.

 Eternal life, time stoppage, time transfer....
 There are no wizards who have achieved this.
 Living things die, time does not stop and history is not reversed...................

''We don't know what method he used. It's very likely that the evil gods have helped but I don't have time to mention it. Every moment, history is being altered........ Little by little, things about the brave Abel must be lost from your memories.
 The words caused the people in the cathedral to gasp in shock.

'Sophia, Lucy?'
 What do you think? I asked.

'Oh no ... why would I ... almost forget about the Saviour?'
'Well, Makoto........what to do. I can't remember the story of the Saviour exactly. I used to read it over and over in picture books and I had it all memorized...
 Princess Sophia and Lucy are blue-faced.
 Really ... is there a rewriting of history going on?

'Lord Altena. Guide us. How should we get out of this crisis...
 Princess Noel asked calmly.
 But her voice also trembled slightly.

''Altena-sama, can't we also use the same magic? If the enemy has interfered in the past, then if we can use the same magic too.......
I can't do that, Mr. Hero of Light.
 The one who rejected Sakurai-kun's idea was the Great Sage.
 He said he was going out to the land of the earth, but he was coming back.

''Great Sage-sama, why is that?''
The humans have no one to use it on. I'm used to a little bit of fate magic myself but it's limited to being able to foresee the future a little bit ahead. Magic that interferes with the past of a thousand years ago is impossible to achieve.
..........
 There is no wizard in this continent who can do it better than the Great Sage.
 No one can do it if the Great Sage says it's impossible.

''The Great Demon King must have made thousands, if not tens of thousands of sacrifices to the Demon King (Typhon) in changing history.... It's not a magic that you guys can imitate.
 At Ila-sama's words, everyone's faces become desperate.
 Tens of thousands of sacrifices........
 So it's a forbidden curse.

''Then........is there any other technique?''
 Princess Noel's voice gets quieter and quieter.

 The Sun Goddess doesn't answer.
 The Goddess of Destiny is also silent.
 Just.........say something.

''There's nothing you guys can do........''
 It was Ila-sama who opened her mouth.
 I hear a voice saying, "No........

It's a good thing that the goddess of fate (me) is responsible for not being able to foresee the alteration of history.......this time........this is my responsibility. So I will lend a hand.
 Ila-sama spoke quietly.
 Everyone waited for Ila's words with bated breath.

'By nature, it is forbidden for the gods to interfere directly with the earth. It is decreed by the agreement of the gods.... If the gods' regulations are broken, other gods will begin to interfere as well, and in the end, a war between the gods will break out and the world will.......be destroyed.

I will also no longer be able to give you the skills of a brave or a priestess........ The land of commerce (Cameron), where faith is lost, will decline......... I feel sorry for the people. But it should be better than being defeated by the Demon King's army........

 Hearing those words, the nobles and warriors of the land of commerce (Cameron) voiced their dismay.
 However, no one disagreed with the words of the Goddess of Destiny herself.

'Ila-sama. How exactly can you help us...?''
 Princess Noel asked fearfully.
 Lady Ila looked around the cathedral and said as if she was ready.


'I will use a divine miracle to send out a warrior a thousand years ago. And let him help Abel, the brave one, to prevent his life from being lost.


 Oh! The voice said.
 'How can you do that?

I'll go.
 The one who came forward immediately was Gerald, the "Lightning Hero".
 That's cool, Han.

"Wait, I'm coming too!
 Following that, the one who raised his voice was 'Scorching Hero' Olga-san.
 These people are so prepared! 

Thank you for your brave offer. But there is only one(ish) person I can send out....
 Master Ila announced apologetically.

'Then it's me. You have no complaints, do you?
 Gerald-san stepped further forward and offered it to Ila-sama.
 He's a high ranking hero after Sakurai-kun, and has the same 'Lightning Hero' skill as Savior Abel.
 Judging from the expressions on the faces of the people around them, they all seem to be convinced.
 It seems to be a choice of people with no complaints.

''No........Gerald the Lightning Brave. You are a renowned hero who has long been renowned for your bravery in the western continent. That's why, if you are sent back a thousand years ago, the Evil God Tribe will surely notice you. It would be the same even if you were the Burning Hero Olga. This time transfer will take the appearance of a mistake (mistake) by the Goddess of Fate. Therefore, it is appropriate that the person to be sent out is not someone famous in this world, but someone who was unknown until recently as much as possible...
 
 Ah, Ila-sama looked at me and glared at me.
 Anyway, if Jera-san and Olga-san can't do it, who would be better?

Someone who was unknown until recently... who has moved to another world...?
 Someone blurted out, "Isn't that what you're talking about, Mr. Ryousuke?

''Isn't that what you're talking about, Mr. Ryousuke?
 The one who screamed was the hitherto calm Princess Noel.
 It's true that Sakurai-kun is the only strong person from another world to send out the only one....

''Noel, the hero of light has the task of defeating the great demon king of the present day. I can't send him out a thousand years ago.
 Easily, Altena-sama denied it.

''Oh, I see...''
 Perhaps Sakurai-kun himself thought he was going to be chosen, but he replied in a distracted voice.

''Ila-sama. In the Land of the Sun and the Land of Fire, there are fierce people who are not brave, but are comparable to the brave, the Orihalcon class. Shall I summon them?
 It was President Ewain, who united the Knights of the Sun, who said so.
 Surely, you don't necessarily have to be a brave man?

'No, no........ The magic that the goddess of fate sends out warriors to the past must not be noticed by the evil god race as much as possible.......''
 But Master Ila shook her head with a dark expression.

'I will tell you the terms of a warrior worthy of being sent forward a thousand years.
 Ila-sama speaks in a voice that passes well.

''If you past-transfer someone with powerful skills, such as a brave person or a priestess, they will immediately be noticed by the Evil God Race. Likewise, even if they are not brave, those who hold the skills you guys call the 'Holy Grade' or 'King Grade' will be as well.
I guess that means no Great Sage and no mother...
 At Ila-sama's words, Lucy said pensively.
 It is true that Rosalie-san would be reliable, but doesn't she fit Ila-sama's criteria?

''Then specifically what level of strength would be sufficient...?
 General Talisker, the head of the Fire Nation's (Great Keith's) army, asked what everyone was concerned about.

"According to the standards set by the human race, you must have 'intermediate' or lower skills. That's what will allow us to send you back a thousand years.
That's a pretty tough deal.
 President Ewain grunted.
 'Indeed, isn't that too harsh, no matter how much?

''But there's no point in lamenting. Let's hurry up and recruit a warrior to cross over to the millennium ago. We must find someone with 'intermediate' skills who can help Abel-sama...''
 In the gloomy air, Princess Noel still spoke positively.
 However.

'It's unnecessary.'
 Altena-sama told him matter-of-factly.

'I made the Goddess of Destiny (Ila) confirm the (un)coming of all (Ila)...'
Oh, is that so...?
 I was surprised.
 Seriously...?
 Have you seen the future of everyone on the continent, Master Ila?
 That must be a tired look on your face.

''Unfortunately ... no matter which of the Goddess Believers from all over the continent were sent out a thousand years ago, they couldn't change the 'past where Abel the Brave lost his life'.
 Altena-sama unleashed her heartless words.

''Oh, no...''
 In a tone of despair, Princess Noel mutters.
 No, not only Princess Noel, but the light fades from the eyes of all the humans in the cathedral.
 The ruler of the world, the Goddess of the Sun, told me that the 'past where the brave Abel loses his life' is fixed.
 ........It's over, I could even hear such a voice.


''But there is still a possibility.


 At Altena-sama's words, the people who had been looking down looked up.
 Then they waited for the Goddess-sama's next words with a shrugging expression.
 Goddess of the Sun (Altena)-sama's gaze drifted for a while as if she was lost, and then she slowly turned to me.

 Altena-sama's sharp gaze turned towards me.
 The Sun Goddess opened her mouth.
 Her voice sounded as if it was someone else's business.



 --Takatsuki Makoto. I have an oracle for you.



 I have a bad feeling about this.
 I don't want to hear what Lady Altena has to say next.
 A silence fills the cathedral, and everyone's eyes are on me.

'Only you, what........'
 Reserved.
 At the undersea temple, Altena-sama continued to speak, looking even more apologetic than when she was with Noah-sama.


 Next to her, Princess Sophia gasped.
 Oh come on, give me a break........


'Takatsuki Makoto. Will you travel back in time to a thousand years and save the world from Abel the Brave?


 To me, the voice of the Sun Goddess (Altena) sounded like the judgment of hell.
