Time Drifter Zindel

You're back. Did you tell Babama everything?

You're back. Did you tell Babama everything?"

"Yes, I did. Now it's time for Zindel to explain what happened."

"Well, let me start from when I passed out. I sensed that the second layer of confinement in Stunned was about to fail, so I rushed here as soon as I woke up."

"However, when I arrived, the confinement had already been lifted, so I created this Barrier."

"The Stagnation feeling you have is from the Barrier I created?"

"Yes, and I also sealed off the path to the polar region, which is what Carso wanted to do with the power of confinement."

"The only way to reopen the path is for me to remove the Barrier, but if I do that, Erosion will immediately spread, so I can't do it."

He explained everything step by step, but there were still many unanswered questions.

How could he create such a large and powerful Barrier after his power was drained?

What was the sensing in Stunned all about?

You have a strange feeling that his aura and demeanor are different from before, and there are more doubts in his words.

You're here to collect the power of confinement that has spread after its release, taught by Carso's followers, right?" Zindel changed the subject and brought up another matter. "I'll help you gather the power of confinement and you can take it back to them."

You questioned Zindel's motives, wondering if he was trying to help Carso's followers.

"How could I?" His calm expression cracked, revealing the hatred he held for Carso. "My goal has never changed-to stop Carso, Protection of this world, and Protection of my people. I'll do anything for that."

"I can manipulate my magic while gathering the power of confinement, so whatever they plan to do will be interfered with by my magic."

"And by handing over the power of confinement, you'll know what their next move is."

It sounded like a reasonable plan.

Looking at your companion who had fought alongside you all this time, you agreed to his plan.

"Then gather the scattered power in this area and bring it to me.

Collect the scattered power in this area and bring it to me."

"While gathering the power of confinement, I can also interfere with their actions with my magic."

"...This time, I will definitely stop them.

You hand over the collected Sprite Broken Pieces to Zindel.

The energy condenses and contracts in his hands, gradually merging into one.

You are familiar with that energy, as a Sprite Messenger, that kind of energy is almost always with you day and night.

Also, because you are a Sprite Messenger, when collecting these energies, they almost always come to you actively.

Once existed here, the cute and mischievous Sprite was destroyed by Carso's power, leaving only these remaining thoughts.

The power of imprisonment is also a Sprite Power, and the shattered imprisonment makes you inexplicably uncomfortable.

"---Done."

The power of imprisonment lying in Zindel's palm, recondensed, looks like tears.

Deliver this thing to someone from the Church of Carso."

"Don't worry, my power is also inside. Whatever they want to do, it won't be so easy."

"Let me know when you find out their next move.

What's wrong?"

You have something to confirm.

Those Broken Pieces of Sprite, are they...

"...Yes, the power of confinement also comes from the power of Sprite, and all of these Broken Pieces are the remains of Sprite."

Is there any way to make them better, even if they have already disappeared?

"I think the only way I know can make you feel better."

"Bring me the memories of their light, and I can make them re-enter the natural cycle."

"Someday in the future, perhaps they can become new Sprites."

Then let's do that, you will try your best.

Bring me the memories of Sprite that you have collected, and I can allow them to return to the natural cycle.

You hand over the Light of Memories to Zindel.

Under his operation, the originally chaotic light cluster is slowly combed and organized into thin rays of light.

The rays of light spread out in all directions and quickly blend into the surrounding environment.

This is good, this is just right.

Perhaps someday in the future, you may see a Newborn Sprite from those lights, even if you don't know it.

Follow Zindel back to the Northern Territory and listen to his explanation of the series of events that occurred in the Winter Snow Forest in the Alternate Dimension.

Let me start from the beginning... When I first arrived in this timeline, I attached myself to the Giga Floating Crystal that guides you to 'Zindel of this time' in the Ancient Polar Region of the Alternate Dimension."

"The reason for my guidance during the events at the Seal-Guarding Palace was twofold: to release the first imprisonment and to drain Zindel's magic. Otherwise, I would not have been able to enter this body and carry out subsequent actions."

"As for the Barrier that envelops the northern region, I brought it here from my 'ruined future' in a different timeline."

"It doesn't have an obvious shield, but Erosion is weak against the nature of crossing timelines and cannot enter this area, even with a High-Level Erosion Magic Crystal."

The amount of information is greater than you thought, but you still caught the most important point you wanted to ask.

Why release the imprisonment of the Day of Destiny?

"...The future I come from was not destroyed by Carso."

"%n% defeated Carso and protected my timeline-you can see the gloomy forest and beautiful Harbor in this area, which were guarded by you in that timeline."

"But even without Carso, the Day of Destiny still came.

In my timeline, Sprite Messengers defeated Carso and guarded the imprisonment, but they did not guard the future of the World."

"The already broken imprisonment eventually collapsed on its own, and the Day of Destiny arrived."

"I came back to experiment with another possibility-to destroy the imprisonment, and recreate the Seal to stop the Day of Destiny."

"To achieve this goal, I need Carso's power."

After receiving several pieces of information with a large amount of data, you feel a bit overwhelmed.

What does Zindel want to do?

"I want Carso to absorb the power of the imprisonment, and then become the new imprisonment of the Seal of Destiny."

As you were still trying to figure out how to defeat the huge threat of Carso, you suddenly heard this even more difficult goal, and you were a bit stunned.

"...It's hard to imagine and accept."

"I understand, so I didn't plan to explain it to you or Babama."

"But since things have come to this, it's time to make a choice."

"%n%, which path do you want to choose?
