As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Upon hearing Lindy's voice, Abigail nodded to Presia and then disappeared.

"No, Al-Hazard exists, and the lost pathway should still exist in the dimensional rift."

Watching Abigail leave with Alicia, Precia immediately replied that what she needed to do now was to completely disappear from the Bureau's sight. The plan was complete, and only the last step was needed.

"Even if the road is still there, what are you planning to do there?"

"I want to undo my past and my future with Alicia. I want to undo everything that should never have happened in this world!"

Just then, a beam of magic suddenly shattered the ceiling, and Chrono, covered in wounds, jumped down from the ceiling.

"You must know that no matter what kind of magic you use, it's impossible to undo the past. People can't be brought back to life after they die."

Upon hearing Chrono's words, Presia suddenly smiled.

"No, even if a person dies, there are ways to bring them back to life. The method to resurrect a person exists!"

Chapter 170 A Perfect Ending

After answering Chrono, Presia suddenly noticed someone running over from the side.

"Fate? What are you doing here! Didn't I tell you to disappear? Get lost, you're useless now."

Presia's words were cold and ruthless.

“Mom, I have something to say to you. No matter what you think now, no matter how you see me, no matter what your plans are, I will always be your daughter, and that will never change. This is my true feeling, Fate Testarossa.”

Listening to Fate's words, Presia could understand the meaning behind them.

"boring!"

After saying this, Presia tapped the ground with her staff, and a magic circle expanded. The 21 Holy Stone Seeds floating above began to glow. At the same time, the Garden of Time trembled once more.

"Captain, it's no use! Dimensional rifts are starting to form in the space around the courtyard. Krono, retreat quickly! Once the dimensional rifts are fully formed, it's all over."

"Understood," Chrono replied, then lowered his head and called out, "Fate Testarossa."

At this moment, Fate looked at Presia, only to see Presia turn and walk towards the culture tank on the side.

"I'm going on a journey with Alicia, so you can just disappear. Once my Alicia is resurrected, I'll find a quiet place with her and live a peaceful life, fulfilling our promise."

As the surrounding tremors intensified, cracks began to appear in the dimensions.

"Fate, we have to leave now! Come with me!"

Seeing that they really couldn't stay any longer, Chrono quickly went to Fate's side, grabbed him and Elf, and then a teleportation circle appeared under their feet.

"Mother!!"

Fate stretched out her hand and called out loudly.

And at that moment, Fate saw it—she saw the smile on Presia's lips. And those silent words:

"Be happy, Fate."

"Amy, open the passage!"

"learn!"

Immediately afterwards, on Asura's ship, a huge black rift appeared in space, and then, a powerful attraction sucked the entire Garden of Time into it.

"The courtyard was sucked into the fault line. We have confirmed the situation of Executive Officer Chrono and his party. Everyone has safely returned to the ship."

"The dimensional oscillation has stopped, and the fault line has begun to recover."

"Okay." Lindy breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, at least this wasn't the worst-case scenario.

At this moment, in Asura's medical room, Chrono walked in and looked at Nanoha and Yuno, who were searching for something inside, and asked:

"what happened?"

"Where are Fate and Elph?"

“I’m sorry, but they are both key individuals involved in this incident and are currently in quarantine, unable to meet with others,” Krono replied.

"It probably won't stay closed forever. Let's wait a little longer."

Beside Krono, a crew member named Amy comforted them.

"Ok."

......

At this moment, Fate appeared quite depressed in the isolation room. Elf, seeing Fate like this, was also not in a good mood.

Just then, the door next to them opened.

Then Lindy pushed the food cart in.

"I brought food, let's eat together."

......

“Fate, you are a key figure in this incident, and it’s impossible for you to be acquitted. However, you don’t know the truth. Although you may not be happy to hear this, you were actually just used as a tool by Presia. In that case, there is still room for consideration in sentencing, at least a suspended sentence. I will try my best to get it.”

In the solitary confinement cell, Lindy and Fate ate together, seemingly without any barriers between them.

"But such a trial might take a very long time."

Elf asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it will take at least six months, and sometimes two or three years, or even longer. In short, if they behave well under the guardianship of their guardian during this period, they can still live a good life."

Who is the guardian?

“It is I, Captain Asura, and Lindy Harrawn is your guardian.”

Lindy pointed to herself and smiled, saying:

"Nice to meet you, Fate, Elf."

............

"By the way, are you sure you want to live here?"

On a scenic grassland, Abigail looked at Presia standing in front of her and asked.

"Yes, this is a very nice place."

Presia nodded and said.

"Since you're here, you can live peacefully with Alicia for a while, which will fulfill a wish. I'll come back and take her to Fate after some time."

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave it to you then."

"But then again, these 21 Holy Stone Seeds are really useful."

"But it's actually quite dangerous. I never expected you could control them so easily."

"I'm a genius. Alright, you can stay here and live your life here. I'm leaving now."

"Wait, Abigail, here you go. Please give this to Fate."

As she spoke, Presia took a necklace off her neck and placed it in Abigail's hand.

“Okay, no problem, I’ll bring this to Fate. Well then, have a good time here.”

At that moment, 21 flying blue-white gems appeared in front of Abigail, and then a dark rift appeared in front of her.

"Well then, I'm leaving now. See you in a few months."

After saying that, Abigail strode into the spatial rift, and then the rift disappeared as if nothing had happened.

"Mother......"

Alicia woke up from her sleep in Presia's arms.

"Alicia, you're awake."

"Mom, where are we?"

Alicia rubbed her eyes and then looked around at the beautiful scenery with some curiosity.

"This is where we will live from now on."

"Really? It's so beautiful!"

"Yes! It's beautiful here."

Precia then put Alicia on the ground. Alicia ran around happily for a bit, and then, as if she had discovered something, she came to Precia.

"Mom, where's Fate?"

“Fate…”

Seeing Alicia's puzzled expression, Precia thought for a moment, then said:

"Fate has gone to a place where she can find happiness, but don't worry, you'll see her again soon."

"Will I still be able to see Fate?"

"Yes, of course."

"That's great!"

............

The matter of the Seeds of the Holy Stones is thus resolved. Although not a single Seed was retrieved in the end, there was nothing that could be done about it. Since they had all fallen into the dimensional rift, they should no longer pose any threat.

This is the determination made by the Time and Space Administration.

Beep beep beep...

In the morning, the ringing of her cell phone startled Nanoha awake from her sleep.

That night, feeling somewhat tired, Nanoha picked up her phone and saw the words "Time and Space Administration Bureau" on it. Suddenly, she was startled and quickly turned on her phone to answer the call.

"Hello."

"Oh, is this Nanoha?" Lindy's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry to call you so early."

"Where."

"The trial of Fate is scheduled to take place at headquarters next week, but before that, although there is only a little time, Fate wants to meet with you."

"Really?...Um...Um...I'll be right there."
