Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

Chapter 298 Reclaiming History

As the Philosopher's Stone activated, the surroundings around Reji began to change rapidly.

The crystal-clear blue light started radiating from Reji as the center, just like the scene during the rewind, but this time, the scene began to move towards the future.

The post-war human world was quickly rebuilt, and the rise and fall of one country after another evolved rapidly. With the "Emperor" as the core, the empire named Nox eventually became the world hegemon. As subsidiaries, the Magic Nation, the Court of Judgment, and the Radiant Holy Nation became the three largest countries under the empire, dividing the rest of the world.

Of course, there were also some peripheral small countries and marginal forces, such as Syndicate, Ilinor, and so on.

And far outside the human world, in the once barren Chaos Rift, the demon race, which could only barely survive by relying on the infinite regeneration of the Breeding Demon Ulala, was different this time.

Because history had changed, Eileen had formed a friendship with the Elf Princess when they were young. Although they usually had a lot of love rivalry, in the face of the demon race's predicament, the many natural spells Vielsia had taught her came in handy.

Favored by nature, even in a desolate area like the Chaos Rift, there could always be plants surviving on it. Eileen successfully helped the demon race through the most difficult times with the assistance of these elves.

After hundreds of years of reproduction in the Chaos Rift, the little succubus who could only flap her immature wings and stomp her feet in the air had grown into an apostle who could hold her own.

Eileen had become more beautiful. Her petite and cute figure from before had long since turned into a slender and voluptuous one. The antelope horns on her head were fuller and rounder, and that fluffy heart-shaped tail sticking out from her butt swayed back and forth.

Perhaps the only thing that hadn't changed was Eileen's excited and expectant eyes, her incredible excitement for the upcoming summoning, which was the hope of reuniting with the Hero.

She had waited far too long for this moment, and finally, she had grown into a true Succubus Apostle. Over the past few hundred years, she had been diligently cultivating, sleeping through one cycle after another. She had enough power to initiate the Demon King Summoning.

Under Eileen's leadership, all the demons in the Chaos Rift gathered on the plains.

Except for the Wicked Demons, the other eight major apostle races were positioned on both sides of the huge altar platform.

The apostles under the summoning ritual offered sacrifices into the formation one by one.

The brain of the Wisdom Demon, the blade of the Sword Demon, the blood of the Great Demon, the touch of the Breeding Demon, the eye of the Shadow Demon, the foot of the Decay Demon, the tongue of the Sorcery Demon, and finally...

Reji saw Eileen on the altar platform take a deep breath. The succubus finally cut open her wrist and sprinkled her essence blood towards the summoning formation below. Immediately after...

Buzz!

The Demon King Summoning formation erupted with dazzling light, and the entire Chaos Rift trembled violently. The sky-piercing light pillar tore through space, and a blurry human figure finally appeared from the formation. It was none other than... himself.

And this time, there was no provocation from the Wicked Demons.

After all, for the demon race, the Wicked Demons were a thing of the past.

The demons didn't mind that he was the Hero.

Until the final node.

The Emperor unleashed the power of the relics, detonating the insect eggs in all humans. One faceless warrior after another surrounded the demon race, ready to sound the horn of counterattack.

At this point, the timeline completely corresponded to the second playthrough. The Philosopher's Stone no longer had any light, and the world in Reji's eyes was once again filled with color.

He had successfully arrived in a new future.

The faceless warriors from before had inherited the Hero's excellent combat techniques against the demon race, causing the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse. The demon race was forced to contract and defend, and a large amount of their energy was tied up.

At the same time, in order to protect themselves, they had to fight the faceless people. But once they killed the faceless people, it was equivalent to also killing the humans who had been transformed. The human race would suffer a catastrophe at the hands of the Emperor.

But the new future was different.

Those faceless people, each holding a small branch, looked very profound and unfathomable, but in fact, their true combat power couldn't even beat an adventurer, let alone the demons.

When facing enemies, they would only wave their branches, after all, this was how the Hero looked back then.

For such unthreatening faceless people, they couldn't occupy the demon race's resources at all. Reji ordered the demon race soldiers to transfer these faceless people away and protect them for now.

This way, the lives of these transformed humans were temporarily preserved.

It also allowed Reji to free up his energy to prepare for the next battle - the confrontation with the Emperor in the brand new future.

One of the purposes of him going through so much trouble to create a new future and protect the humans of this world had been completed.

And the second goal that followed should be...

Saving Freya.

Unlike the Emperor in the second playthrough who had no ties and was thoroughly hurt by the Hero and the world.

The Emperor in the new future was more like a promise.

Because only by Freya becoming the Emperor could the stability of the Philosopher's Stone be maintained, allowing him to successfully calculate back to this new future and reclaim the historical events one by one.

But the price was that the Saintess had to be forced to play the role of the Emperor for a thousand years.

Reji knew that she must have endured too much during this time.

So now, it was his turn to make it up to Freya.
