You are all my wings!

When Jormungandr's words reached Leon's ears, another hidden curse mark on his chest glowed faintly.

Leon looked down and his heart stirred. Wasn't this the End Curse Mark he had obtained a long time ago when he completed the [End Conquest] quest?

"Although I don't know when you became my familiar, since you obtained the End Curse Seal that I don't know when it was cast out, then help me out. After it's done, I will naturally give you the greatest reward."

She didn't mention what would happen if Leon didn't help. As soon as she finished speaking, Leon began to feel time rapidly reversing outside his body.

laugh! ! !

Time and space are changing, flowing, and leaping!

This isn't going against the current, but rather going with the current, accelerating our journey to the future!

With his current understanding of space and time, he quickly realized the direction in which time was flowing around him.

In other words, I can go back to the future?

Is it going back ten thousand years, or to the era of Iris Magiru? Or even further into the future?

Lyon looked back in the direction of the time jump and realized that he could hear Cheng Erheli's furious voice coming from there. Even the temporarily opened spacetime tunnel was trembling violently, but the tremor was quickly suppressed by Yemeng Jialuo and calm was restored.

……

I don't know how long I've drifted along the river of time.

Leon discovers that his leap into the future is actually much slower than the speed of going against the current.

Normally, jumping downstream is faster.

Is it because my physical resistance is getting stronger that the time travel has slowed down?

'It's going to the future? But according to Terena's previous statement, shouldn't I continue going against the current?'

Lyon, sensing the power of the End flowing automatically outside his body, stopped paying attention and immediately activated fifteen modes. Taking advantage of this opportunity to jump and travel through the river of time, he practiced the eleventh-tier Shadow-type combat skills that he had previously deduced in the spacetime tunnel.

According to the original schedule, it should take a few more days to complete the training, and then I can begin to advance to the eighth-level Phantom Walker.

Originally, once he had mastered ten levels and achieved sublimation, he could advance to the eighth level. However, his current upgrade items are all very powerful, so the requirements for combat skills are also higher.

Finally, just as he successfully mastered the Shadow-type combat technique to the eleventh level and, with the help of fifteen modes, successfully upgraded it to the twelfth level, the surrounding spacetime resonated, instantly creating several wide spacetime rifts that blocked his path.

The power of the end surrounding him still had inertia, propelling him forward without stopping, and he crashed directly into the spacetime rift in front of him!

boom!!!!

After a moment of dizziness, Leon quickly opened his eyes.

This... seems to be a palace?

Just then, a beautiful little girl of about ten years old with silver hair and a black dress was walking in the flowerbed. Hearing the noise, she looked up in surprise in the direction of Leon.

Lyon was stunned: "Maggielu?"

Why are you calling me "mother"?

The silver-haired loli spoke.

Chapter 563 Return to All Things

"Is Maggie your mother?"

"Yes, who are you, and why are you here?"

The silver-haired loli stared at Leon with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

Lyon observed carefully and found that her appearance bore a resemblance to his own.

Add to that Machiru's distinctive little fangs and heterochromatic eyes, and it seems quite possible that this is indeed his and Machiru's child.

It seems that she conceived the child before entering the Ascension Steps.

At that time, he spent seven consecutive days having intimate moments with Iris Ophimosa and Machiru, and then he was busy trying to ascend to the Divine Staircase. It is possible that the two events occurred in chronological order.

The girl in front of us looks to be around ten years old.

In other words, he has returned to eleven years after the original timeline?

So, according to the estimates at the time, the Flood Era should have ended in about ten years?

So, is the end of the Flood Era what Jormungandr is referring to as the 'end of time'?

Just as Leon was lost in thought, gazing at the silver-haired girl, she seemed annoyed by his gaze and shouted:

"Hey, if you don't answer, I'm going to activate a magic circle and suppress you here!"

Lyon snapped out of his daze and said, "Explaining who I am is a bit complicated. Where is Maggie? Tell her to come see me, and you'll know who I am."

To his surprise, the silver-haired girl became even angrier after his reply, stomping her foot and saying:

"Hmph, everyone knows my mother is missing. Since you know her, you certainly wouldn't say that! I'll give you one more chance to answer! If your answer is wrong, I'll really activate the magic circle!"

Just then, her voice seemed to be heard, and a large number of knights rushed over from the outside of the palace. Their iron boots pounded the ground, their silver armor was imposing, and their military formation was quite imposing.

Lyon recognized the knights' clothing and insignia as the common equipment style of the Royal Court Knights.

"Protect Her Highness!"

A knight drew his sword, shouted loudly, and displayed the aura of a sixth-tier warrior as he charged forward. The tip of his sword was surrounded by dazzling light, which was quite impressive.

Princess?

Isn't she Magiru's daughter? How did she become a princess?

Seeing this, Lyon didn't waste any words. He knew that rambling would only waste time, so he decided to intimidate the other party first and then talk slowly.

Immediately, he activated the nascent time-based authority within his body.

Buzz!

With a small demonstration of its power, the dozens of knights who had arrived instantly froze in place.

The silver-haired loli in the center, who was about to activate the magic circle, also felt the flow of magic power within her body stop, and she couldn't help but freeze in place.

At the same time, Lyon simply spread the nascent power of his authority outwards, demonstrating his presence to the surrounding area.

Before long, some powerful individuals of the seventh or eighth rank or above were finally attracted by Lyon's demonstration. They unleashed poems from afar, causing the clouds to ripple, and they flew over.

At best, those at the seventh or eighth tier in the Eden Era that Lyon reversed to could only be considered the middle tier of a major power, or even not in the middle position. Lyon could easily crush a group of them with one hand.

But in this era, he could definitely be considered a top figure in a powerful organization.

Finally, Lyon saw the figures he had been waiting for.

Several streaks of light flashed by, and a blue-haired elf, a red-haired dragonman, and a black-haired human beauty landed one after another, looking at Leon with shocked and delighted expressions.

It was Hamra, Camille, and Ophimaso.

Ten years had passed in the original timeline, but the appearances of these three remained unchanged. They were still beautiful and charming, and their demeanor was even better than before. Moreover, their strength had also improved. Hamra and Camille had both reached the peak of the ninth rank, while Ophimaso had just entered the ninth rank. Each of them had their own powerful aura.

Clearly, they had benefited greatly from their previous ascension to godhood, and with Leon having developed their potential multiple times before, coupled with the loosening of the rules at the end of the era, their progress in ranking was much faster than during the four-part series.

After confirming each other's feelings, they rushed over without hesitation, embracing Leon one after the other, and bursting into tears of joy.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding knights and the silver-haired loli were all dumbfounded.

Leon didn't say much, but gently comforted them, then whispered:

"I am back."

[Hamra's favorability increased by 10%, current favorability 192%, soul link deepened]

[Currently, a 10-hour deep load-bearing mode can be automatically activated every 24 hours]

Camille's affection level increased by 10%. Spacetime disorder detected. Refreshed. Current affection level: 130%. Soul link deepened.

[Currently, a 4-hour Deep Invincibility Mode can be activated automatically every 24 hours.]

[Ophimosa's favorability +10%, current favorability 134%, soul link deepened]

[Currently, a 4-hour Deep Miracle Mode can be activated automatically every 24 hours.]

……

Half an hour later, the group parted ways warmly.

On a bench in a spacious inner garden, the guards and maids had all left, leaving only Leon, his three wives, and a silver-haired loli.

"So, twelve years have passed since I disappeared? What major events have occurred during this time? What's the situation with Machiru's disappearance, and what about Britta, Iris, Baishaqilai, Kekeqi, Mshifisu, and Terena?"

Leon paused when Terena was mentioned.

Before that, he had briefly mentioned what had happened to him before, that is, being manipulated by a powerful person and going back to the past.

He wasn't going to go into any more detail.

"Before that, let me introduce myself to you."

Of the three women, Ophimosa was already dressed as a queen, wearing a gilded crown, a long silk robe draped in gold thread, and a silver-sheathed sword inlaid with seven-star gemstones hanging at her waist, clearly having officially inherited the throne.

She beckoned to the silver-haired girl, beckoning her over.

“Her name is Lilith, she is your and Machiru’s daughter, and now she is also my goddaughter.”

Leon observed Ophimosa's expression and found that she was as usual and did not seem to have any resentment towards the attribute of 'Maquill's daughter'.

It seems that after more than a decade of preparation, Ophimasso has accepted this goddaughter.

“Lilith, come here. You have to call him Father. He is a great hero.”

Lilith stood beside Hamra. The rather spoiled demeanor she had shown when she first met Leon had vanished, replaced by a timid air. Her face was downcast, her cheeks flushed, as if she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

"Father...Father Emperor."

Lyon's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Even though I've experienced many setbacks and spent a lot of time in forbidden zones like time loops and life-or-death trials, my real biological age should only be around 20 years old, right?

As a result, they ended up with a daughter who was over eleven years old...

He found that he was still completely unable to accept this physical and psychological gap, and did not yet have the awareness of being a father.

"Call me Dad or Father, it's fine. No need to be so formal."

Leon walked over and patted Lilith's head with a kiss. And I must say, it felt really soft and fluffy.

Lilith looked up: "Ba... Father, they all say you disappeared while fighting the ancient gods to protect humanity. Is that true? You're so powerful, can you help find Mother?"

Her voice still carried a hint of immaturity, and her gaze toward Leon held a mixture of longing, fear, and curiosity.

"I will do everything I can to solve these problems."

Leon nodded, then looked at Hamra and the other two:

"Let me briefly tell you about Machiru's situation. As for the others, I just checked, and it seems they're not in the capital either?"

The three women all looked somber when Maggie was mentioned.

Ophima said, "To put it simply, Machiru is currently trapped in the deep space of the Auradu dungeon, and none of us can save her for the time being."

“The Auradu Dungeon? I once met Astalia, who also traveled back in time, and she told me that the Auradu Dungeon has disappeared.”

Lyon asked, puzzled.

According to the timeline, Astalia should have started going against the tide two years ago.

"Yes, but it suddenly recovered six months ago, and it started expanding rapidly as soon as it recovered. So, Machiru and Iris joined forces to enter the dungeon, wanting to suppress it for a while."

Hamra explained.

Hearing this, Lyon's heart sank slightly: "So, it means that not only Maggielu is missing, but also Iris?"

Just then, a loli elf with long light blue hair slowly walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Chapter 564 The Women's Recent Situation

This elf looked a little younger than Lilith, but her appearance was quite similar to Iris Hamra. She had beautiful features, bright emerald eyes, and a slender, delicate figure, which reminded Leon of a young version of Hamra he had seen before.

Her steps were calm and graceful. Despite her young age, she was very composed. When she reached the crowd, she first bowed to Hamra, followed by Ophimaso and Camille.

"Greetings to Mother, Your Majesty, and Aunt Camille."
