Let’s split the story into two parts, let’s take a look at Shogo Tokiwa.
The world of beholders.
Successfully eliminated the alien Ghost.
Tokiwa Shogo had just taken off the Ghost Knight watch that started to glow from the space-time drive, and held it in his hand, feeling the powerful power brought about by the change in the timeline. Just as he was about to say hello to Tenkuji, he saw Tenkuji. Disappeared in front of him.
"???"
This shocked Tokiwa Shogo, and three question marks instantly appeared above his head.
what happened?
Is Ghost’s history so dynamic?
This was the first time he had encountered this situation where the power of the timeline change had already affected the main rider before he exerted any force.
Moreover, not only Sky Temple Master, but also Fukami Makoto also disappeared in front of him.
In addition, Tokiwa Shougo looked around and saw that the entire map of the beholder world had begun to undergo the baptism of "time and space transformation", and there was a trend of resource renewal.
Then, before Tokiwa Shogo could investigate the situation in depth, he was brought into a different space with a background that slowly changed in color like an aurora.
There, I met Freya, the incarnation of the Great Eye.
Tokiwa Shougo: "..."
He probably knows what the problem is.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Tokiwa Shougo asked Freya.
"Have you reconnected with your true self?"
"Yes."
Freya nodded, confirming Shogo Tokiwa's guess.
Then, she stretched out her hand and invited Tokiwa Shogo.
"So, Your Majesty the Demon King, are you interested in going on a common journey with us?"
Tokiwa Shougo looked down at Freya's little hand stretched out to him, and the introduction about the Great Eye that he had seen in the Enchanting Calendar flashed through his mind.
——There once existed such an advanced civilization in the universe. In order to climb higher and to understand the existence of the universe more deeply, they abandoned their home planet, their bodies, and even their individual consciousness, and became They formed an energy life form composed of many souls, headed towards the universe, and began their long and endless journey in the universe.
This is the origin of the Great Eye.
Therefore, Tokiwa Shougo was not surprised that Freya would use the pronoun "we" to refer to herself.
On the contrary, he was really curious about what that journey Freya was talking about.
Thinking of this, Tokiwa Shougo chuckled and raised his hand.
"good."
He took Freya's outstretched hand and smiled.
"I'm looking forward to this journey."
"Well, we won't let you down."
Freya held Tokiwa Shogo's hand back and whispered.
"Then, let's set off."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light in the space background surged, drowning everything.
The next second.
Tokiwa Shougo just blinked and realized that he had arrived in a cold and silent darkness.
The huge meteorite passed by silently.
Magnificent planets are scattered everywhere, rotating quietly, and some have satellites orbiting them.
Farther away, a huge fireball glowed.
That's stellar.
Tokiwa Shogo came to a strange galaxy.
He lowered his head and touched his face and head with his hands, and found that although he still maintained a human shape, he was just a human shape transformed by golden energy. His facial features were still there, but his hair was gone.
"This is……?"
Tokiwa Shougo couldn't help but asked softly.
Then, the voice of the Great Eye sounded directly in Tokiwa Shougo's heart and gave an answer.
"This is the form of the fusion of your thoughts and our past."
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shougo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"...our past?"
This wording gives a strong sense of déjà vu.
However, the Great Eye obviously does not think so.
His answer remained calm.
"Yes, this is the time before we met Adnis and the others. It is our [past]."
The Great Eye told Tokiwa Shougo.
"However, this is [now] for you, and [now] can be changed."
It can be heard that there is a hint of expectation in the voice of the Great Eye.
"The great Lord of Time, His Majesty the Demon King who rules all, what kind of future will you choose as a young man? How will the fate of Adnis and the others change on the way to this future? How will we interact with you? You witness it together.”
As if confirming the words of the Great Eye, as his words fell, the first choice Tokiwa Shougo needed to make came.
The voice of prayer suddenly sounded in his ears.
Needless to say, that was the call to prayer of the Adnes tribe.
They were in a desperate situation under the siege of the evil king's army, and had no way out except to pray.
In the original history, the Great Eye responded to the prayers of the Adnis tribe because of a feeling that was likely to be sympathetic, opened an interstellar portal, and took them to a desolate planet far away from the earth.
That planet would later become the beholder world.
And his first choice is:
To save or not to save?
"..."
Tokiwa Shougo thought for a moment and made a decision.
--save!
Tokiwa Shougo cannot do such a thing by transferring the sins that may be committed in the future to their innocent past.
That didn't fit the order of time in his mind.
In his view, time is like a whirlpool.
Especially in a world where you can travel through time and space.
Cause and effect are easily reversed and interchangeable.
Just because a person may become bad in the future, you cannot bully or warn him when that person is still weak and has not yet become bad.
As everyone knows, the reason why that person will become bad in the future is probably because of the innocent disaster you gave him in the first place?
So, if you really want to enforce justice...
So at least, please go to the time when that person has turned bad to punish him, stop everything, and save everything.
This is justice.
Isn't it?
Thinking of this, Tokiwa Shougo was suddenly stunned.
Uh, he seems to have a feeling for someone... But it doesn't matter, someone won't know, right?
So, history moves on.
…
…
The early beholder world was a very desolate planet.
That is an environment that human power cannot overcome in a short period of time.
So, when Adnis's prayer for help reached Tokiwa Shougo's ears again, his second choice also came.
Do you want to revive this desolate planet like the Great Eye did in the beginning?
Of course.
The reasons are the same as for the first option.
Letting Adnis and the others endure the suffering they should have endured was Tokiwa Shogo's greatest revenge.
In this way, Tokiwa Shogo revived the decaying and dead city on this planet, and also made the land of this planet full of life again.
His thoughts merged with the Great Eye of the past, and Tokiwa Shougo, who was able to use the full power of the Great Eye, could easily do this.
Facing such a miracle, Adnis and the others couldn't help but praise.
——The power of the great God!
To this, Tokiwa Shougo subconsciously refuted.
"Not a god."
Facing the surprised and puzzled looks of Adnis and others, Tokiwa Shogo paused and continued.
"I am the King, the Lord of Time."
After saying that, Tokiwa Shougo disappeared and left.
Behind him, there is a scene of Adnis and others bowing respectfully to the place where he disappeared.
Moreover, they seem to feel more at ease?
After all, the existence of God is too elusive.
Even they, who have always existed as a praying people, do not know how to coexist peacefully with a God who can see and communicate.
However, the title of King is a noble existence that they are familiar with and can understand.
Just like that, history moves on.
…
…
Adnis is thinking and working hard every day for a happy new life for the people.
With the help of Edith and Denton, people's lives are indeed getting better.
Especially after they found a database that stored knowledge in the city, discovered a computer that could open the database, and learned a device that could input knowledge into the brain.
In just a short period of time, Adnis and his family's living standards have improved tremendously.
The span is like going from ancient times to modern times.
That's exactly what happened when Edith and Denton, at Adnis's request, applied the knowledge they learned to people's livelihood.
As everyone knows, that is the source of the greatest disaster for them later.
To all of this, Tokiwa Shougo always watched with cold eyes, or even didn't even look at it.
Therefore, during this period, he never answered Adnis's regular daily prayer of thanks.
In fact, after making the first choice, Tokiwa Shogo's goal has always been clear.
He would not prevent the coming of the red death.
but,
He will change Denton's fate of going crazy and guide Denton to correctly solve the problem of the Red Death Disease, so as to give the siblings born after that a happy life.
However,
The steadfastness that Tokiwa Shogo had always had, was instantly wiped out one day because of Adnis' solemn words after his daily prayer of thanks.
Adnis said: "Great Lord of Time, we hope to change our name to the Time Clan. As your people, we will follow your glory forever. Please give us the glory of becoming the people of time!"
