At that time, Ultear, who was still a little girl, used the resources of Grimoire Heart to collect a lot of magic related to time.
And in there, there was an absolutely forbidden magic.
Arc of Time - Last Ages!
This was a magic that could reverse the time of the entire world.
It was also the true existence of the Arc of Time.
But Hades told Ultear what this magic actually represented.
"Last Ages will make the caster pay a huge price. Although it can reverse time, it will also take away all of the caster's time, which is life!"
"Although the world can restore time, the caster will lose time. Is this the world you want?"
Faced with Hades's advice, Ultear gave up this magic at that time.
Because what she wanted was to find her own happiness, and if the price was herself, then what was the point?
"But... I'm very happy now." Ultear looked at her hands.
"If I can use my insignificant life to restore the world to its original state..."
Magic power began to erupt.
Brilliant light began to gather in her hands.
"I am willing to dedicate this sinful life of mine!!"
Her hands slammed heavily on the ground, and Ultear closed her eyes tightly.
Tears were squeezed out of her eyes.
But this seemed to strengthen her determination even more.
"Arc of Time - Last Ages! ¨.!"
A roar came out at this moment.
The magic circle unfolded at this moment, and kept rotating.
The iridescent light gradually began to spread with Ultear as the center.
Terrifying magic power was constantly rising, supporting Ultear's black hair.
The gale began to scatter with the iridescent magic power.
The pain of time being deprived also struck at this moment.
"Ughhhhhhhhh!!!"
The severe pain even made this girl with extremely strong willpower cry out in pain.
"Ahhhhhhhhh~~"
The pain was still intensifying, and blue veins bulged on her face, arms, and legs.
She kept roaring, trying to alleviate some of the pain in this way.
Even the body's protection mechanism could not make her fall asleep.
Blood-red cracks began to climb up from her hands that were supporting on the ground.
Gradually invading her whole body, as if her whole body was about to shatter.
"Hold on!!" She seemed to be cheering herself up.
"The pain of those who were killed by me, those who were hurt by me..."
She bit her silver teeth tightly, as if she was about to shatter them.
"Compared to those... this pain is nothing..."
"The cells all over my body... are as painful as being cut by a knife one by one... is this the result of using one's own time, using one's own life as compensation..."
She suddenly raised her head, and blood-red cracks began to climb onto her neck.
Ultear could feel that life was flowing away bit by bit.
"My time... is gradually disappearing..."
"My life... and future... ughhhhhhhhh!!!"
[Although I did all kinds of bad things in the first half of my life, full of sin, but looking back, there were always people around me accompanying me!]
[Finn... Meredy... and everyone in Fairy Tail...]
[This is already too much happiness for someone like me!]
[Now is the moment for me to completely redeem myself, please... at least let time return to before the gate was opened...]
[Also, goodbye... the people I deeply love...]
Under the iridescent light, the corners of Ultear's mouth slowly revealed a smile, and it seemed that the pain was nothing at this moment.
"Stop it for me!!!"
"Nancy, throw me in!!!"
A hoarse roar came from a distance!
Ultear, who had her eyes closed tightly, seemed to have heard something, and opened her eyes.
In that already gradually blurred vision, she saw the figure who was leading by example into the iridescent light.
"Is it a hallucination?" She asked softly.
But in the next moment, the warm touch that came from her shoulders told her.
This was not a hallucination.
"Finn..." She finally saw that face clearly.
Just like seven years ago, the face that reached out her palm to herself in the sun.
However, at that time, this face was filled with smiles.
But now it was anger and...
Anxiety and panic.
"Do you know what you are doing? Stop it!!"
Finn's hands grabbed Ultear's shoulders and kept shaking her.
"I heard what you said just now, I won't allow you to use this method to save this world, understand?!"
That roar finally woke Ultear up.
She stretched out her trembling arm and stroked Finn's face.
"It's already... unstoppable, once time reversal is activated, it cannot be interrupted."
Ultear's smile became more and more brilliant.
"It's good to see you in the end..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Since you still have attachment to this world, then live well!"
"Not only for yourself, but also for those who deeply love you!"
Finn's words kept resounded.
The anger even made the blue veins on his forehead bulge, it was anger at Ultear not respecting her own life, it was anger at the fact that he was about to lose a companion.
"What do you mean once it's activated, it can't be interrupted, the existence of magic is a weapon to break the norm!"
Finn raised his eyes and looked straight at Ultear.
"I won't let you be deprived of your life just like that, and I won't allow you to do this!!"
Terrifying magic power began to rise continuously, and the ground under their feet began to emerging from all directions red light.
"Finn... why..." Ultear seemed to want to say something, but in the next moment her eyes widened instantly.
Because she saw that the blood-red cracks had actually begun to climb onto Finn's body.
The fear that had never appeared even when facing death appeared at this moment.
Looking at the magic circle under her feet that accelerated its rotation, she seemed to understand something.
"Finn! Get out!" She shouted loudly.
"People who are in the magic circle will be deprived of time by Last Ages!!"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all!" Finn gritted his teeth.
The vast magic power erupted even more rapidly, even causing the ground to rumble violently.
"Don't... don't... I beg you, get out quickly!"
Ultear's hands kept pushing Finn's body.
Wanting to push him out.
She could not escape, but Finn, who was not the caster, could.
Feeling the strength on Ultear's hands, Finn gritted his teeth and suddenly hugged Ultear.
Locking her firmly in his arms.
"It'll be alright, we'll all be alright!" Firm words came out, but they completely shattered Ultear's defense.
She kept struggling in Finn's arms.
Tears flowed out like a flood that had burst its banks.
"Finn, stop it, I beg you, you'll die like this!!"
"I beg you, this is my choice, and it's also the only way for me to redeem myself!!"
"I beg you, let go..."
She roared painfully.
"Your sins will be borne by me! By Fairy Tail!!" What responded to her was a roar that resounded in her ears.
