Chapter 2535 The Fourth Candidate of Time
Click~
A clear sound of a pointer turning was heard in the void. Xia De looked around suspiciously. He always felt that the "click" sound that did not exist originally became more and more real when he used time-related magic recently.
Carina looked at the pocket watch that Shade had not hidden this time. Of course, she knew what it was, and finally understood where Shade had learned the "time pause" from. But suddenly she looked at the completely "frozen" queen:
"Be careful, what is that!?"
Only Shad and Carina were left in the room at this time. Even Ajelina did not stay. The Duchess, who was pulling Shad back quickly, discovered something abnormal about Queen Diana.
This does not refer to the undignified appearance of the queen when giving birth, but to the fact that her swollen belly bulged from the inside out and shook like the waves while her body was still.
It's simple to describe, but actually seeing this scene made Xia De's scalp tingle.
What happened next made his mouth tremble even more, because a pair of tender hands tore open the queen's belly, and with blood gurgling, two babies connected by umbilical cords and covered in blood crawled out of Queen Diana's belly.
Xia De didn't really want to describe the appearance of the two babies. The newborn twin princes were really ugly, and even their eyes were squinted and unable to open because they were just born.
The witch beside him took a deep breath to adjust her emotions. She had a very good relationship with Queen Diana, and this scene had a great impact on her. However, Shade realized another thing:
"They are immune to my time stop? No, you two are ring sorcerers? Wait, six rings? Is the bloodline of this generation of the Cavendish family really that good?"
An extremely illusory, translucent, small life ring had now appeared behind the two children lying on the corpses. Xia De had never seen such a fragile life ring, and he didn't understand why the life ring of a living person was translucent.
"Will you talk?"
He stepped forward and stood in front of Karina, and asked softly to the two children under the hot operating light. The light was very bright, but the two slowly rotating six-ring life rings were dim, with no signs of an upcoming spell:
"You, hello."
The newborn twin princes did not make a sound, but their childish and echoing voices automatically rang out in the room:
"Excuse me, can you kill us?"
Carina knew that this was addressed to Shade, but she still asked:
"Why should I kill you?"
"Grandma, because we don't want to be born."
The silencing spell that had been cast long ago prevented the strange childish voice from being heard outside, and the stranger who knew a lot of stories had already frowned:
"Don't tell me that you have the ability to travel through time and have played with time many times, and now you realize that it would be best for everyone if you were not born."
The newborn twin princes crawled blindly on their mother's corpse:
"No, we don't have that kind of power. There isn't enough time. See you next time."
"Wait"
A burst of white light completely filled his field of vision, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea once again made Xia De cover his head and close his eyes, but this time the discomfort was weaker.
"Time is really amazing. Many years ago, I was like..."
When he heard the familiar sad and melancholy words of Karina and Ajelina's concerned inquiries, he even wanted to cover his face and be quiet for a while before speaking.
But time waits for no one, so Shad could only tell the two Cavendishes the general idea of the matter again. This time, he couldn't produce any evidence, but they still believed him without reservation.
"Same as last time, let's go to the delivery room now."
Carina stood up immediately, and Shad looked at Ajelina and Tifa:
"You guys come with us."
So eight minutes later, the three of them stood in front of the bed in the delivery room again. However, this time, Shade did not cast a spell to stop time directly. Instead, he comforted Queen Diana first, and then Carina reached out and cut open Queen Diana's belly. Shade lifted the two princes out like rabbits.
Tifa was responsible for cutting the umbilical cord and doing the subsequent suturing, while Ajeelina helped with red eyes.
Of course, everyone wore gloves and masks.
"If you don't have enough time, don't waste it."
Xia De did not even bother to clean the bodies of the two fragile babies. He placed them directly in the cradle that had been prepared at the side, and then raised his hand upwards:
“Sunlight heals.”
The warm sunshine ensured that the princes would not die prematurely due to the rudeness of foreigners. He spoke quickly:
“You must have retained the memory of what happened just now.
Now let's continue with the previous topic: Tell me what is going on. The souls of both of you are indeed newborn souls. What do you know? "
Not only the souls, but both of their bodies were also real baby bodies under Xia De's examination.
"We experienced the War of the Chosen in the future."
The princes squinted their eyes and snuggled in the blankets of the cradle:
“We are one of the candidates for the Chosen Ones of Time, fourth in line.
For some reason, we jumped through time and became adults, and then participated in the War of the Chosen in Time. That war was terrible.
We lost, and the monsters that distorted the timeline are hunting us. Only by erasing us from the source of our birth can we completely avoid our tragic fate in the future.
It only takes five times, only five times of going back to the time of birth, and time will completely erase our traces, and then everything will be over."
Xia De and Jia Lina looked at each other. The latter knew what Xia De wanted to say, so she asked:
"Do you know me?"
"You are Great Aunt Carina Cavendish, and the Grand Witch of the Witch Council."
"Do you know her, then?"
Shad pointed at Ajelina, who was whispering to her mother, but Queen Diana did not look particularly conscious.
"Ajelina Cavendish, our sister, witch's apprentice."
"Who am I then?"
Shade asked finally, and the voice that had been answering the question paused before reappearing:
"We should have seen who you are, but you are blessed by time. There is information about your true identity in the memory, but we cannot be sure who you are now."
Carina looked at Shade:
“Are they telling the truth?”
“They think it’s the truth.”
Shade put his hands on the heads of the two princes. The newborn children tried to dodge but were completely unable to do so:
"But their fragile brains obviously can't withstand the impact of these memories and mental power. Your heads are about to explode."
"I'm sorry, but what do you mean by 'we think we're telling the truth'?"
The princes asked, and Shade placed his hands on their eyelids.
"To put it simply, you don't have the ability to travel through time, and you haven't come back from the future."
"This is impossible!"
But the power his fingers felt under his eyelids told Shade the truth:
“Princes, you have the ability to see the future since the moment you were born. This is your gift as a candidate for the Chosen One.
So when you, with your infant consciousness, look down the river of time, you do see something, and then you take the future you see as the life you have already experienced.”
The "she" beside his ear seemed to smile, but she was definitely not laughing at Xia De.
"Memory brings the soul and elements together to form a life ring. This is the power of knowledge, but the soul will not lie. Your soul is really just the soul of a newborn baby, not the soul of an adult who has experienced many things. Believe in my perception, this will not be wrong.
You observed the future, and for some reason you will become an adult, participate in the next battle of the chosen ones, and then fall into an unfortunate fate. So you overdraw your soul again and again, trying to detonate your own time gift to form a paradox and completely erase yourself - I think the truth of the matter should be like this. "
"So, they have future vision?"
Carina asked, and Shad nodded as he felt the changes in the twin princes' souls:
"Yes, and it is more advanced than 'Future Vision'. This is a fragment of the power of the ancient gods. I cannot simply describe it in words, but that is just 'observation'. Their eyes and souls are indeed unique, and they were fully formed at the moment of birth."
The only things Shad knew were the moon and time:
"The time in the material world is supervised by the Shadow of the Tree Father and the so-called 'Guardians of Time'. Even the chosen ones cannot casually travel through time and space to affect the past, so they are really not time travelers."
Shad used the Time Key, which was allowed by the Tree Father, but the babies did not have that ancient miracle element.
"Besides, they are only the fourth candidates. Generally speaking, the fourth candidates don't have outstanding talents. If they were the first candidates, I might have doubted them. Think about it, what special abilities can the other fourth candidates have?"
The two princes then fell silent.
"But haven't you brothers realized that you have never used the power of time travel?"
Ajelina held Queen Diana's hand and asked Shad, who smiled at her comfortingly:
"Your two brothers are just babies. Even if they can see the possible future for a moment, their way of thinking and logic cannot be compared with adults who have been truly washed away by time. In other words, they are not very mature and logical.
But don't worry about the future they describe. I've taken classes. Once the ability of 'future vision' is actually observed, the future is uncertain. What they see is only the possible future at that time. Now, everything is different."
The princes continued to remain silent. Ajelina was relieved after being comforted by Shade. Carina was concerned about a more direct issue:
"So how do we solve this problem? Although I don't understand the mystery of time, I also know that any trouble involving time cannot be solved by ordinary means."
