There is no time in "Between Worlds", but the real worlds are incapable of time.

Without time, the world is equivalent to losing its foundation, and the consequence of that is that the world itself has no way to exist.

Space and time.

These are two factors of existence that are essential to the world.

The only exception to this rule may be "between worlds".

And when the "worlds" without time exists in the worlds that have a timeline, what basis does Noah use to determine the time point of arrival?

Noah hadn't considered this question before, but when he thought about it now, in fact, there was only one answer.

The world that Noah came, or the time point of the world that Noah came, all have one thing in common.

"'World Fragments.'" Noah suddenly spoke.

"At the point in time I came, there were 'world fragments'!"

I don't know why, but some of the worlds in Between Worlds have been destroyed.

All of these destroyed worlds were reduced to pieces and lost in the intact worlds.

Naturally, when these "world fragments" are lost in an intact world, they need to enter the timeline of that world, just like Noah's case.

So, if Noah came to the point where the "World Fragment" was gone, wouldn't the "World Fragment" not be found?

In this way, if Noah wants to find the "World Fragment". It can only come to those points in time when there are "world fragments" to save zài.

"Correct!" Gaia's energetic response.

"When Little Noah chooses to descend into the world, the world will automatically send you to the point in time when there is a 'World Fragment' to store!"

"The world has no way to dry the world. But they can vaguely sense each other, so. When you encounter the clue of the "World Fragment", you will get a hint from the world. Alayah explained in a completely emotionless voice.

"Just like the last time we were able to vaguely sense which parallel space the 'World Fragments' stored in our world were, the world will of course know the time point of the 'World Fragments' that were lost inside and send you there."

"This kind of teleportation is similar to instinct, which is a function of the world itself, just like a lamp can shine, it is destined to glow when you turn on the switch, and little Noah is equivalent to that switch." Gaia said with a grin.

"So, little Noah, please answer. If the "World Fragments" lost in a world have been recovered by you, when you come to this world, what will the world choose the time point for you to come? ”

This sentence, like a heavy hammer, woke up Noah alive and shook Noah's spirit.

"You've been in another world for two years, and when you return to the world where you grew up, it's also two years after that world." Alayah said unhurriedly.

"When there is no longer a 'fragment of the world' in a world, and you don't choose a time point when you come, then. The world will let you come according to the actual time you left. ”

"Didn't choose a point in time?" Noah keenly grasped the key word, and was excited by a guess.

"Are you saying that I can choose the time of my coming?"

"I said it before. The world will take the initiative to send you to a point in time where there are "World Fragments" to store, but if there are no "World Fragments" to save zài, the world can only send you to a point in time after the time that has actually elapsed. It's like you've been out there for two years, and it's been two years since you've returned to the world. Gaia said like a little adult. So to speak.

"But, little Noah. I also said that you are the darling of the world, and the world will not reject you. ”

"If there is no 'World Fragment' in a world, then as long as you make a request to the world when you come to this world, such as choosing a time point, the world will definitely respond to you!" Alayah told him the good news that Noah wanted to know most.

"So, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, just do what you want to do!"

Gaia and Alayah's words made all the gloom in Noah's heart disappear and suddenly brightened.

If you can really choose the time point freely, then what is there to worry about?

When it's time to return, isn't it okay to come directly to the point in time when Noah left?

In this way, Noah no longer has to worry about Hades attacking in his absence, and he doesn't have to worry about the impact of his departure on Mira and Lisana.

Everyone's happy!

For the first time, Noah thanked the world from the bottom of his heart.

However, Gaia, who once again seemed to see what Noah was thinking, reminded him.

"However, little Noah, even if there is no 'World Fragment' in the interior of the world, there is no way for you to come to the point in time when you left."

Like a basin of cold water poured on his heart, Noah hurriedly asked.

"Why?!"

"Although you are a special being, you can break away from space and time at will, penetrate the barriers of the world, and come to the 'world', but it is also a fact that you really exist in the world where you have existed, if you choose to leave the time of the current existence, then, the world also needs a period of time to buffer, in this time period, you have no way to come." Alayah explained.

"This period of time is roughly equivalent to a month in each world, and even if you choose to come at the time you left, the world will send you to a month after the time you choose."

In other words, if Noah leaves the world of Fairytail, he will only enter one month after he left this world.

Noah's heart was finally settled.

A month is not a long time at all.

After all, in Fairytail, some difficult tasks can take months to complete, and some S-Class missions and above can sometimes take years to complete.

For a month, as long as Noah receives a more troublesome commission, he doesn't even need to explain the reason for his departure to others, and Mira and Lishana won't be able to afford to wait for even a month.

As for Hades, if he chooses to go to war against Fairytail in just one month, then Noah will have to admit it.

"Little Noah, remember, you are the darling of the world!" Gaia's voice was still innocent and cheerful.

"Even if there is no way to help you directly, the world will choose to help you in various out-of-the-way fields, but there are worlds behind you to support, and there is no need to have any fear!"

"Do whatever you want!" Alayah even gave such a sentence.

"The world will always be on your side!"

The words from Gaia and Alayah made Noah's heart more grounded than ever.

Sure enough, I still like the world...

……

By the time Noah returned to Fairytail again, it was already dawn.

It's still dark when you leave, and it's dawn when you come back?

This phenomenon made Noah suspicious for a while, and at the same time, he felt as if he had forgotten something important.

With this suspicion, Noah did not choose to lie down and sleep, but went downstairs and returned to the guild.

What Noah didn't expect was that when he appeared, the members of the guild looked at him with incredible eyes.

"Brother Noah!" Lisanna, who was still serving the drinks, threw down the tray in her hand and threw herself into Noah's arms with two lines of tears.

Not only Lisanna, but even the sluggish Mira ran out of the bar, rushed to Noah's side in a panicked state that almost fell, grabbed one of his arms tightly, and tears almost came out.

Just when Noah was at a loss for this qiē, Elusa and the others rushed over violently.

"You bastard! What's the matter with disappearing without a sound?! Gray smacked Noah hard.

"Do you know how worried people are?!"

"You... You're exaggerating, aren't you? Noah was dumbfounded.

"I... Won't I just leave for a while? ”

"Moment?" Elusa glared at Noah.

"You've been missing for a whole month!" (To be continued......)
