Fairy Tail: I Am the God

“Mr. Nicolas Flamel, are you an Awakened One?”

“Awakened Ones? What Awakened Ones?” Nicolas Flamel’s eyes were cloudy, as if he hadn’t understood at all.

Gray glanced at him, somewhat taken aback, unsure whether Nicolas Flamel was feigning ignorance or genuinely hadn't heard of him. He could only explain:

"This world has been set up as a special space by an entity called the Nightmare God. Time here will rewind at a certain point and continue to cycle again and again."

"Oh, I know that!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded, racking his brains for a while before saying, "I vaguely remember this little girl next to you; I think I've seen her before."

Hearing the other party admit it, Gray was overjoyed and pressed for more information:

"Sir, are you also an awakened one of this world, like Professor Dumbledore?"

"The Awakened One, Dumbledore..."

Nicolas Flamel thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

“I’m different from him; he’s the one who truly awakened. As for me, it’s just that because I’m stronger, the world reset has less of an impact on me. In each reset, I can barely remember what I want to remember.”

Hearing this, Gray was somewhat disappointed, but he also gained a direct impression of Nicolas Flamel's power.

It's important to know that the one who reset the Harry Potter world was the chief god of Nightmare Space.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Nicolas Flamel could still remember what he wanted to remember shows that his strength is definitely not simple.

"Well, this old man is a bit old, but he was able to scare Edward away and remember what he wanted to remember during the reset, so he probably isn't that weak."

Hogwarts is currently lacking a powerful figure to oversee things; his presence would be a tremendous boost!

As Gray thought this, his gaze toward Nicolas Flamel gradually became more intense.

Chapter 290, Grounding: The Beginner Village Setting. (Third Update)

“Mr. Nicolas Flamel, we need your strength now. Would you please come with us to Hogwarts?”

Gray spoke very slowly, as if afraid that Nicolas Flamel might not hear him, and he enunciated each word very clearly.

Nicolas Flamel glanced up at Gray, then shook his head:

"I think you've come to the wrong place. There's nothing I can do to change things for you!"

"Why not? Wasn't the person who replaced Voldemort the one you scared away? Besides, I'm quite curious why I happened to run into you here."

Gray argued that Edward's departure could not possibly be unrelated to Nicolas Flamel.

Even their arrival in this forest made Gray suspect that Nicolas Flamel was behind it all; otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

Gray felt that there must be some secret hidden in this old man.

"Young man, do you think I'm lying to you?"

Upon hearing Gray's words, Nicolas Flamel looked at him with cloudy eyes and said:

"I can't help you, not because I don't want to, but because I'm under house arrest!"

"Confined? How is that possible? Your strength..."

Before Gray could finish speaking, Nicolas Flamel nodded with a wry smile and said:

"It is precisely because of my strength that I am restricted and find it difficult to leave. What do you think that barrier outside is? Is it protecting me? No, it is a forgotten land, specifically used to imprison me!"

"captivity!"

Gray's face turned somewhat pale, and he couldn't help but defend himself:

"But didn't you appear at King's Cross Station before the thirty-sixth reset?"

Just now, you even opened the outer barrier, allowing us to enter this small house. Since you were able to go out once, why not do it a second time?

"No, you're oversimplifying things!"

Nicolas Flamel shook his head again, reached into the dish, picked up a pastry, and slowly chewed it.

This time, Nicolas Flamel remained silent, simply enjoying his tea and snacks, much like an old man savoring a leisurely moment.

Beside them, Grey and Hermione looked rather grim in the silence.

After all, the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and Nicolas Flamel was certainly able to remain calm.

Even though Gray knew that Nicolas Flamel must have had ulterior motives for bringing the two of them here, he still didn't have enough bargaining chips until the truth was revealed.

If you lack bargaining power, you must recognize your own disadvantages.

Gray took a deep breath, sat down opposite Nicolas Flamel, and said in a low voice:

"Sir, I believe there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You may have to pay a heavy price to get out of here."

So let's be frank. State your conditions, and I will agree to what I can. If I can't, I'll simply walk away, and you can pretend you never saw us.

Gray's pragmatic approach surprised Nicolas Flamel.

The old mage stared intently at Gray, and after a few seconds of eye contact, spoke:

"This is a strange world of reincarnation, where everyone, even after death, has the chance to start over. I am the only exception. On ordinary days, I am imprisoned here, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

Of course, killing me isn't so easy, unless I cross that being's bottom line! And that bottom line is my leaving the Land of Oblivion, do you understand what I mean?

Hearing Nicolas Flamel's words, Leon, far away in the Fairy Tail world, was a little surprised, which reminded him of the term 'starter village'.

The Harry Potter world is a starting village controlled by the Nightmare God, and Nicolas Flamel is the final boss.

If players are skilled enough, they can choose to defeat the boss before leaving the starting village to obtain the highest reward.

Conversely, the boss isn't so easy to defeat either. Nicolas Flamel has reset countless times in this world and is still alive and well.

This means that the limit of power that can enter this world will not exceed that of Nicolas Flamel as the boss, unless he crosses the line.

The bottom line is that the boss goes berserk, not that you stay in one place and face your fate.

Perhaps, in a sense, Nicolas Flamel is the most unique person in this world.

Once he is killed, he loses the chance to reset forever, making him a truly unique NPC.

“Mr. Nicolas Flamel, what kind of punishment will you receive if you come with us?”

Gray spoke up at the opportune moment, wanting to use this to illustrate the cost of bringing out Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly:

"The last time I went out was because of the little one with you, which triggered my premonition about fate."

After that incident, the world became a battlefield, where four teams fought a great battle. Each of their team leaders was someone of my caliber!

Several times, I narrowly escaped death; if they hadn't become enemies, I would have been completely wiped out!

"The Reincarnators' Team Battle in Nightmare Space!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Leon understood what the punishment was, because he had been planning the same thing; team battles would undoubtedly reduce the number of reincarnators.

Most importantly, it allows you to obtain a large number of points, and the value of each reincarnator is immeasurable.

Normally, Nicolas Flamel quietly accepted his imprisonment. The reincarnators who came here for trials were generally weaker than him, at most at the level of Dumbledore.

As the final boss and a demigod-level mage, Nicolas Flamel is definitely not someone these people can provoke under normal circumstances.

Conversely, after Nicolas Flamel leaves, in the next cycle, four teams will immediately engage in a battle in the world of Harry Potter, and each team leader will be a demigod.

This shows that the bottom line of the Nightmare Space's main god is very clear: he will never allow Nicolas Flamel to disturb the outside world.

"If Nicolas Flamel leaves, he will face a near-death punishment in the next world. Therefore, to persuade him to leave, one must offer him a price that makes him forget life and death..."

Gray analyzed the situation quickly, then shook his head regretfully and said:

“Mr. Nicolas Flamel, I regret to inform you that we cannot offer you the price to leave. Also, thank you for your hospitality, we must be going now!”

This is an unrealistic idea; Gray simply couldn't do it.

"and many more..."

Seeing Gray about to leave, the usually composed Nicolas Flamel became anxious and quickly said, "Don't you want to hear my demands?"

"I'm sorry, I know my own limitations, and I don't believe you are a philanthropist who is willing to sacrifice yourself for others!"

Gray was absolutely right.

He knew without even listening that Nicolas Flamel's conditions must be very high, or that he was hiding some kind of purpose.

"Hermione, let's go."

Grey said something and led Hermione toward the door.

The next second, Gray opened the wooden door and looked outside.

Upon closer inspection, the surrounding mesh barrier appeared to have been sealed off long ago, showing no sign of opening.

Meanwhile, Nicolas Flamel, the host, was eating pastries and drinking tea, a half-smile on his face.
