Sponsored Chapter
The one who appeared from the shining magic circle was the Sun Goddess, Althena-sama.
She gives a sweeping look at everyone from high up.
She doesn’t seem to be in a good mood…
It is not like the lukewarm descent of Ira-sama. It is a pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Sweat comes flowing out like a waterfall just from being exposed to the gaze of Althena-sama.
No one could speak.
Silence ruled over the Great Church.
“The situation…is dire…” (Althena)
Althena-sama says silently.
“The resurrected Great Demon Lord must have judged that they can’t defeat you with their current strength… In order to overturn that, they utilized a forbidden technique.” (Althena)
“Forbidden technique…? What is it?” (Noel)
Princess Noel represents everyone by asking this question.
“History Rewrite… It is a destiny spell that interferes with the past.” (Althena)
I could hear gulping.
Rewriting of history…?
Just what in the world…
“The Great Demon Lord Iblis is trying to kill the Hero Abel of 1,000 years ago with their spell. If that happens, all history will go haywire… No matter how many times you defeat the present Great Demon Lord, it would be pointless…” (Ira)
Ira-sama continued with a dark expression.
Silence covered the place until everyone could understand the meaning of that.
Then, a scream rang in the church.
“T-There’s no way something like that is possible!”
“That’s on the level of a god!”
“It is impossible!”
I have heard about it.
Magic that can affect time.
Many a mage would desire it, and no one has been able to achieve it even now -the realm of gods.
Unlimited youth, time stop, time travel…
There’s no mage who has been able to achieve it.
People would die, time wouldn’t stop, and history can’t be changed…that should be how it is.
“I don’t know what method they used. There’s a high chance that Devils have lent them their help…but there’s no leeway to investigate that. The change of history is already proceeding… The memories regarding Hero Abel are being lost.” (Althena)
The people in the church gulped at the shock.
“Sofia, Lucy?” (Makoto)
I tried asking.
“No way…why was I about to forget about the Savior-sama…?” (Sofia)
“M-Makoto…I can’t remember the story of the Savior Abel clearly… Even though I read about it from picture books, was told about it countless times, and had memorized it all…” (Lucy)
Princess Sofia and Lucy had pale faces.
History…is really being rewritten?
“Althena-sama, please guide us. How should we overturn this situation…?” (Noel)
Princess Noel asks with composure.
But her voice was trembling slightly.
“Althena-sama, can’t we use the same spell? If the enemy has begun to interfere, by us using the same spell…” (Sakurai)
“That would be impossible…Light Hero-kun.”
The one who denied the thought of Sakurai-kun is the Great Sage-sama.
She said she would go to the Earth Country, but it seems like she returned already.
“Why, Great Sage-sama?” (Sakurai)
“There’s no user of it in the humans. I can use destiny magic to a certain extent, but…the most I can do is look a bit into the future. Using a spell that can interfere with the past of 1,000 years ago is totally impossible…”
“…”
There’s no mage who surpasses the Great Sage-sama in this continent.
If the Great Sage-sama says she can’t, there’s no one who can.
“The Great Demon Lord must have used several thousands…no, tens of thousands of people as sacrifices to the Snake God Typhon… It isn’t a spell that you people can use.” (Ira)
Ira-sama’s words made everyone despair.
Ten of thousands of sacrifices…
A forbidden technique.
“Then…is there any other spell?” (Noel)
The voice of Princess Noel steadily got lower.
The Sun Goddess doesn’t answer.
The Destiny Goddess is also silent.
Hey…please say something.
“There’s nothing you people can do.” (Ira)
Ira-sama said.
I could hear people saying ‘No way…’.
“This matter…is my fault as the Destiny Goddess for not seeing through the change of history… That’s why I will lend a hand.” (Ira)
Ira-sama said silently.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for the words of Ira-sama.
“Normally, it is prohibited for Gods to directly get involved with the mortal realm. It is established in the regulations of the Gods… In the case when the Divine Realm Regulations are broken, the other Gods will begin to get involved too, and in the end a war between Gods will happen, and the world…will perish.” (Althena)
“But I -the Destiny Goddess- will be breaking that… The punishment for breaking the Divine Realm Regulations is that I will be prohibited from descending to the mortal realm. I will also be unable to grant Skills to the Heroes and Oracles… Camelon will lose their faith, and will decline… I am sorry for my country, but it should be better than losing to the demon lord army…” (Ira)
Hearing this, the nobles of Camelon and the warriors raised voices in dejection.
However, there were no people who were objecting to the Destiny Goddess herself.
“Ira-sama, how will you be lending your help exactly…?” (Noel)
Princess Noel hesitantly asks.
Ira-sama looked around the church and said as if she had resolved herself.
“With the miracle of a God, I will send you 1,000 years into the past. That person will help out Hero Abel so they don’t die.” (Ira)
Voices were raised with an ‘oooh!’.
Something like that can be done?
“I will go.” (Geralt)
The one who immediately offered to do it was the Lightning Hero, Geralt-san.
So cool.
“Wait, I will go too!” (Olga)
The one who raised her voice after was the Scorching Hero, Olga-san.
These people have so much resolve!
“I appreciate your bravery. However, only one person can be sent…” (Ira)
Ira-sama said apologetically.
“Then there’s no other than me. There’s no problems, right?” (Geralt)
Geralt-san said and stepped further forward as he said to Ira-sama.
He is the highest Hero after the Sakurai-kun, and has the same ability as the Savior Abel, the Lightning Hero Skill.
Judging from the face of the people around, they seem to agree to this.
I think there’s no problem with this selection.
“No…Lightning Hero Geralt, you are a well known Hero that has had his name reverberate in the West Continent for a long time. With just that alone, you will be noticed by the Devils immediately if you were to be sent 1,000 years ago. That’s the same for the Scorching Hero Olga. We will be taking this incident as a mistake from the Destiny Goddess. That’s why we are not going to be sending a person that’s famous in this world, and it would be best for it to be someone who was nameless until recently…” (Althena)
Ira-sama’s mistake, huh… That does sound like something that could happen…
Ah, Ira-sama glared at me.
Even so, if Geralt-san and Olga-san won’t work, then who should it be?
“Someone who hadn’t made a name for themselves until recently… The otherworlders?”
Someone muttered.
“A-Are you talking about Ryosuke-san?!” (Noel)
The one who shouted was Princess Noel who had been calm until now.
It is true that if we are talking about sending only one person that’s an otherworlder and is strong, it would be Sakurai-kun…
“Noel, the Light Hero has the role of defeating the present Great Demon Lord. We can’t send him 1,000 years to the past.” (Althena)
Althena-sama denies it immediately.
“I-Is that so…” (Sakurai)
Sakurai-kun must have thought that he would be sent too, he let out a dumbfounded voice.
“Ira-sama, there’s powerful warriors in the Sun Country and the Fire Country that are Orihalcum Rank and are comparable to Heroes. Should we call them?” (Yuwein)
General Yuwein reports.
It is true that there’s no need for it to be a Hero.
“No, that won’t work… We should try our utmost to not have the Devils notice that the Destiny Goddess is sending a warrior to the past…” (Ira)
But Ira-sama shook her head to the sides with a dark expression.
“I will tell you the conditions for the warrior that is suitable to be sent 1,000 years in the past.” (Ira)
Ira-sama says with a clear tone.
“If we were to send someone who has powerful Skills like Heroes and Oracles, the Devils will notice it. That would be the same for the Skills that you people call Saint Rank and Monarch Rank.” (Ira)
“That means the Great Sage-sama and Mother aren’t qualified either…” (Lucy)
Lucy mutters.
It is true that Rosalie-san would be reliable, but she doesn’t fit the requirements of Ira-sama.
“Then, how strong in specific would it be okay…?” (Tariska)
General Tariska asks what everyone was interested about.
“If we were to put it in the standards of humans…someone who has Skills that are lower than Mid Rank. That is the requirement to be sent 1,000 to the past.” (Ira)
“…That’s quite the harsh requirement.” (Yuwein)
General Yuwein groans.
That’s true. It is way too harsh of a requirement no matter how you cut it.
“But there’s no point in lamenting that. Let’s recruit a warrior that can go 1,000 into the past. Someone who has Mid Rank Skills or below that can be of help to Abel-sama…” (Noel)
Princess Noel speaks positively in this place that had been surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere.
But…
“That’s not necessary.” (Althena)
Althena-sama says bluntly.
“We had the Destiny Goddess confirm all the futures.” (Althena)
“I-Is that so…?” (Noel)
Voices of surprise were raised.
Seriously…?
You saw all the futures of the whole continent…Ira-sama?
No wonder she had a tired face.
“Sadly to say…no matter who of the Goddess believers in the whole continent we send to 1,000 years into the past, they couldn’t change the past of the Hero Abel dying.” (Althena)
Althena-sama speaks out the cruel reality.
“N-No way…” (Noel)
Princess Noel mutters in despair.
No, it wasn’t just Princess Noel, but everyone in the Grand Church was losing the light in their eyes.
The ruler of the world and Sun Goddess has basically confirmed the death of Hero Abel.
‘…We are done for’, I could even hear those kinds of words.
“But there’s still a possibility.” (Althena)
The people who had their heads hanging down raised their heads at the words of Althena-sama.
And then, as if they were pleading, they waited for the next words of the Goddess.
Althena-sama’s gaze drifted about for a while as if she were hesitating, and then slowly turned here.
Her sharp gaze was directed over here.
The Sun Goddess speaks.
That voice sounded as if this were someone else’s business.
“Takatsuki Makoto, I have a request.” (Althena)
I have a bad feeling.
I don’t want to listen to the next words of Althena-sama.
Silence covered the Great Church, and everyone’s gazes were directed at me.
“You are the only one…” (Althena)
As if hesitating…
Althena-sama continued her words in a tone that was even more apologetic than the time she was in the Deep Sea Temple together with Noah-sama.
“You who has a future even the Destiny Goddess Ira can’t see…has the possibility of changing the future of the Hero Abel losing his life.” (Althena)
Princess Sofia gulped at my side.
Oi oi, give me a break…
“Takatsuki Makoto…can you please go 1,000 years into the past, save Hero Abel…and save the world?” (Althena)
The voice of Althena-sama sounded like the judge of hell.

I wonder what skill he could manage to get from negotiations.
Thanks!
\(^^)/
Damn, everything is coming together.
pretty sure he will become the hero when he went back to the past (hinted by the statue of abel is changing/looks strange)
maybe abel in turn goes to the future and 'finish the job', hence why he went missing 1000 years ago?
Whoa. That's quite a bombshell. That said, there was already a lot of speculation that Takatsuki would end up going to the past. Some of them might've even been straight up spoilers.
Well, with this, the mystery of the changing statue color and odd number of connections to the past has been cleared up. Rather...isn't Takki actually concerning similar to the Savior Abel?
...Did Abel actually die in the final battle, and Takki just replaced him to keep the legend alive?
Actually, more interestingly...will Takki be able to get some big benefits for Noah for helping them out in such a big way? And for that matter, what's the Noah of the past going to think of her suddenly having this amazing believer that shouldn't be able to exist-a second Apostle?
Thanks for the chapter. As much as I don't like it, it seems the time travel theory actually came true. That means there's either some sort of predestination paradox (Makoto was meant to travel back in time and become Abel) or he'll take the place of Abel to ensure events occur as they should. Damn shame about Furiae though, who got no chance to have some more romantic moments even though she just confessed.
That's a lot of dumb restrictions that the time travel has. But then again this novel is about cliffhangers and not about the author's skill in writing lololol
Thanks for the chapter.
So, be honest, from which point you understood ONLY Makoto could go the past ?
(For me it was skill below middle rank restriction)
And if go the past Makoto would be stronger : the more olympian Gods have influence over the world the weaker spirit magic become.
So :
Dark cloud of great Demon lord + Olympian Gods none existing influence =
Spirit magic Full Power ! He could propably free Noah there.
For me, I pretty much zeroed in on Takki as soon as they said only one person could go. Meta reasons aside, who else can reliably overturn bad situations other than him?
Ira and Makoto are just made for each other. Two trouble making airheads. I honestly wanted to see Fujiyan's reaction to it.
Oh boy Sophia just gulped. She's going to cry for sure and if she's any indication, then so will the other girls + Sakurai & Fujiyan. So he's probably going to the past.
What if Abel is dead already? Would Makoto have to use his transformation skill to role play as Abel until the Great Demon Lord is killed? It kind of makes sense now that Bifron's sort of recognized Makoto if so. Apostles of titans and spirit users are stronger under the dark clouds according to Noah.
The goddesses really like their role play. It felt like watching a theatrical drama just to ask Makoto to go back, but I suppose it is necessary somewhat to keep their reputation and a reason for future Makoto's absence. Did Eir set it up? Or Ira?
Thanks for the warning. Good thing i havent read the comments recently
Thanks for the chapters! I haven't read ahead so anything I say is speculative and not a spoiler! I know the chances of me being one of those receiving a warning for spoilers is abysmally low, but I don't wanna get banned XD.
That being said, man, that thing with the statue was really bugging me so I'm glad we finally got to know the reason why, and boy, I gotta admit it was a really cool and scary discovery! Now we have Makoto going into the past, which means he won't be able to stop Sakurai from getting stabbed... or will he? Makoto has shown many times his ability to turn the tables on the enemy. His Spirit King transformation is sealed and he'll be going alone, so I suspect he's going to have to come up with a new strategy, and I have a feeling he's going to do so after learning some things from Abel and his party.
Regardless, the numerous possibilities have me excited for what's to come!
