Where the rift leads, Edward could not have predicted. The greater the power, the more he can go back to an earlier past, and Edward knows nothing other than simple rules like this.

Strangely, Edward often had the feeling that once his Ninefold Demon King Seal was fully restored, he could descend to any time in the past at will, and he could even go back to the beginning of the universe, to the God-given land five million years ago.

It's like a dream for him...... There is no war, no conspiracy, and no humans and demons, in that deserted world, only he is lonely, constantly looking for an illusory shadow.

Forever, forever, until the end of the world......

============

Central City, the royal palace.

Dozens of tables were set up in the huge courtyard. To celebrate the victory of the exorcists, and to treat his son, King Varian generously threw a gala dinner and invited a special person.

"Ahem...... We have won this expedition!" shouted a cute little girl.

When she raised her voice, her voice was a little hoarse, but no one dared to underestimate her.

Because she has a nice name - Shela.

"Oh, oh, oh!" people responded to Sheila's call instead of tasting the food.

"This time, Generalissimo Lance has the greatest credit! Let us toast the first glass of wine to the mighty Generalissimo. Walking up to Lance with a shot glass, Sheila smiled and said, "Lance, congratulations!"

"Thank you......"

"Plus, there are a couple of people. Thanks to their help, we in the Holy Ming Sect have been able to catch those deranged traitors!" Sheila walked to the other table and announced loudly to the crowd, "They are the students of Hogg House, the Exorcist Salvation Society!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The response is like a cloud.

"Second wine, I salute you personally!" this time, Sheila's voice became much softer, "Congratulations, Edward!"

The table was full of people. She toasted Edward alone.

"Thank you......" Edward smiled. He politely took the glass and placed it on the table, without any intention of drinking it.

"Don't you want to drink?" Shera waited for her big watery eyes and glared at Edward curiously.

Her eyes made Edward's heart palpitate.

This girl. I'm reading my mind to myself again!

"I'm sorry. Edward said insincerely.

Since you can read all my mind. So. You must know very well why I'm sitting here, right?

The curse of the Sword of Calamity, the death of the night, Shera. You must know it well, right?

He first gave the Sword of Calamity to Edward, and then gave the pocket watch, which symbolized time, to Night...... Without the Sword of Calamity, Edward would not have had the faint hope of crossing the rift in time and space again and again to complete the almost impossible mission.

The final enemy is the Gate of Original Sin, Idir, so what role does Sheila play in it?

Edward couldn't figure it out.

"Hee-hee, I see, you can't drink......, right?

Completely different from last time, this time Sheila was not angry, but shook her head knowingly, and her smile was still gentle.

The long eyelashes are fanning and fanning, and they are very good-looking. Sheila patted Edward on the shoulder, not blaming him, trying to force him or laugh at him.

“......”

So, should Edward be grateful for her magnanimity?

No, Edward wouldn't appreciate it, because he knew that this girl had seen all the thoughts in his head.

She knew exactly what was going to happen tomorrow night...... This girl.

In my memory, Sheila didn't have such a good temper. The last time Edward didn't want to drink, she even coaxed and encouraged Edward to drink the whole glass, causing Edward to fall asleep until the next morning.

If Edward hadn't gotten drunk tonight, he would have had plenty of time to prepare for the fate that would have come the next day.

Obviously, all his plans, all his intentions and careful thinking Shera knew, which is why she "magnanimously" spared Edward.

Edward didn't know what kind of emotions to have for this little girl, or even whether to ask for her help.

This time, he went back to an earlier past, to the evening of the previous day. Perhaps this was only possible because Emilia helped him with the Holy Spirit when using the Sword of Calamity.

Tonight, everyone gathered at the palace for a banquet, and tomorrow night, a predestined fate was about to befall him.

This time he had more time than last time. He could do everything in his power to try to change the fate of the stone that was thrown into the sky.

Even if his efforts are just grasshoppers shaking the tree.

"Have fun, Edward, I'll go first. She waved at Edward casually, and Sheila had no intention of continuing to talk to him, "Oooh, I almost forgot...... This one is up to you. ”

Before leaving, Sheila shoves a small object into Night's arms and runs away.

"This is, pocket watch?"

Night seemed to be very fond of the pocket watch. She put the little thing in the palm of her hand and played with it carefully, and then put it away with satisfaction.

At the moment, Night was sitting beside her, holding his arm without a trace. This warmth gave Edward the illusion that even if he didn't do anything, the night wouldn't leave him.

He knew it was just a delusion.

As for that idiot...... Halfway through the feast, Emilia walked slowly to the terrace with a large cask in her hand, leaning against the railing and drinking her sullen wine.

Familiar scenes...... Now that Edward has returned to an earlier past, can he change his fate?

As Emilia said, how would he know if he didn't try, and this time he had gambled all his chips, and if he still couldn't change his fate, then ......

"Huh?"

Notice the gaze here. Emilia put down the barrel and looked at it curiously, only to accidentally collide with Edward's eyes.

Rolling her eyes, Emilia turned her head and continued to drink her own wine.

That look seems to say, "Look at what you see!" Pervert!

This idiot...... Edward was speechless.

At this moment, Sheila walked slowly to Emilia's side, turned her head, and smiled at Edward.

"Don't say strange things to Amilia. ”

Even from a distance, Edward could hear Shela's voice.

Smiled slyly. Sheila grimaced. Then he ignored Edward, gently pulled the corner of Emilia's clothes, and chatted happily with her.

"Damn, you girl. ”

She knew her confession to Amilia. I also know what I promised Emilia.

"Tsk...... Don't be cranky!" Edward patted his head. Keep yourself awake.

Like Emilia said. She in this world doesn't know what she's said to her.

Until he succeeds, he will never show his heart easily.

Unless, he can change his fate.

==================

Following.

Mengxia. initial

"Master, what's wrong with you lately? You can fall asleep while standing, and you have nightmares, is your brain completely broken?"

"Tsk......"

"Master, what are you looking at? This is a pocket watch given to me by Sherra, didn't you see it, she wanted me to understand what time ...... is."

"What are you doing?"

Not again.

The two girls stood in front of him, waiting for his answer.

They don't know what Edward has suffered, and they don't know what fate they will face.

For a moment, Edward felt as if he was in two very different worlds from them. Obviously, they were standing beside him, within reach, but it still felt as far away as the ends of the world.

Edward lowered his head and smiled silly.

Amelia, you're right, if I back down at this moment, I'll look down on myself for the rest of my life, and I'll have to bear unnecessary pain on you.

I will not say those irresponsible words to you again, and one day, I will stand in front of you and say those three words to you calmly.

So......

"Edward, what's wrong with you?" asked Emilia curiously, leaning over.

"Ahh

When he came back to his senses, Edward suddenly found that Emilia was a few centimeters away from him, and he was so nervous that he almost hit her little nose.

"Yike...... You, you, you pervert, okay?" Emilia blushed, took a few steps back, and whispered, "Seeing that you can't give up, are you afraid? ”

"Tsk...... How could I be afraid?"

If he was afraid of death, he wouldn't have crossed the rift again and again. Nothing was more valuable to him now than his own life.

"Well, let's go. ”

Emilia glanced at Edward nonchalantly, then checked her weapons and equipment, and after making sure everything was in place, she prepared to leave immediately.

"Let's go!"

There were no surprises, no miscalculations, and this time, Edward was determined to win, because he had already prepared a complete countermeasure.

He couldn't think of any more reason for his plan to fail, and having witnessed Night's death, Edward would never let the same tragedy happen again.

As he was leaving, he happened to hear a conversation between two uncles on the side of the road.

"Hey, did you hear that? It's been locked down since last night. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, there are many times more defenders on the other side of the city gate, and the city gate is closed, and even the merchants won't let them go. ”

"Oh my God...... Is something big going to happen?"

"Who knows, it has nothing to do with me anyway. ”

The gates are closed?

Tsk, wonder why the gates are closed? Alsace didn't tell me?

Edward glanced at them, pretended not to hear, and hurried to follow Emilia.

Whatever. (To be continued......)
