"If there are no surprises, Erza should be my daughter, right?"
Medivh came to this conclusion with a look of happiness.
"To be honest, I'm not quite ready to be a father yet."
"But when I think about having a daughter, I suddenly feel a little excited."
"It's just that when I think about Erza growing up and falling in love, my heart as an old father feels incredibly irritable."
When Medivh thought of this, his expression suddenly changed. He couldn't stand the thought that in the future timeline, his precious daughter might be taken away by some 'punk'.
"Fortunately, I'm not some rigid old-fashioned person..."
"I won't interfere too much with my daughter's future views on love."
"However, as my daughter, Erza must abide by the three-no principle when she falls in love with someone!"
"First, absolutely no guys with large, meaningless tattoos on their faces. Because that clearly shows they're brainless."
"Second, no guys with natural blue hair. Because blue-haired guys look like thugs."
"Third, absolutely no guys with Jellal in their name. Because I don't like it; I feel disgusted just hearing that name."
Within a few short minutes, Medivh had prepared himself mentally and ideologically...
Now, if he were to face Jellal in this world again, he could deliver a heavy punch without any psychological burden.
Even though Jellal in this world has no connection whatsoever with Erza, whose life trajectory has been altered by Medivh, and is likely still an innocent, pure young man at this moment, Medivh can still act without mercy.
Hmm, his Medivh's iron fist is still very hard, enough to break the legs of all 'punks'.
To be honest, originally, Medivh felt nothing but a hint of pity for Jellal...
After all, that little fool Jellal was manipulated for the first half of his life and consequently did many wrong things, which led to him living in atonement for the latter half of his life.
But since Erza is his Medivh's daughter, he can only say sorry to Jellal.
This blue-haired guy named Jellal...
More accurately, all blue-haired guys named Jellal!
None of them should even think about getting close to his precious daughter.
It's best if they don't appear in his sight at all.
Otherwise, he'll beat them every time he sees them. Don't ask why; an old father's wrath is always this unreasonable...
Meanwhile.
Edolas.
"Achoo..."
A young man with natural blue hair, a tattoo on his face, and the letters Jellal in his name couldn't help but sneeze.
"Prince, are you alright?"
"You've been working too hard these past few days. You should rest."
Beside the blue-haired young man, a black cat that followed him closely saw this, its expression slightly agitated, its eyes flickering with worry, and it spoke in human language.
"Panther Lily, don't worry, I'm fine..."
"I just suddenly felt a pang in my heart."
"I have a feeling that my trip to the Earth-land World will be exceptionally difficult."
Jellal's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a chill...
This feeling was as if, on the bright path leading to the Earth-land World, there was some fatal terror quietly waiting for him to walk into a trap.
"The King must have discovered something."
"It seems I need to act ahead of schedule..."
"I must stop the King's conspiracy."
Jellal thought silently to himself.
In Jellal's view, it must be his father, who was blinded by ambition, who discovered his whereabouts and secrets.
Well, no matter how resourceful and intelligent Jellal of Edolas is, even resisting the entire kingdom as a young man with his own strength!
But he couldn't imagine that all this chilling malice came from a stranger he had never met in another world he was about to visit.
As for the man who harbored the greatest malice towards Jellal, he quietly opened his simulator at this moment.
"Reward extraction."
Medivh first extracted the rewards from his two previous successful simulations, which the system had failed to issue on time.
[Reward issuance in progress.]
At once, all the magic Medivh had learned and the magic power he had painstakingly increased in his previous two simulations surged into his body like a tide.
Yes, the most valuable thing about this dream simulator is 'time'.
After each simulation, Medivh can superimpose the knowledge he learned and the magic power he increased within the timeline he entered in the simulator onto himself.
The first timeline Medivh traversed in his first simulation was X365.
The location he traversed was the 'Dragon King Kingdom' where Irene was located.
Thus, Medivh silently followed Irene and laid low for a full five years in that timeline.
He spent all five years enhancing his strength.
It wasn't until X370 that Medivh felt his strength was sufficient.
Only then did he go to a neighboring country alone, assassinate the general who might have allied with Irene in the future, and replaced him using illusion magic.
Next, Medivh spent another five years...
He purged all the corrupt nobles in the neighboring country, transformed it into an iron-willed powerful empire, and eventually naturally allied with Irene, dying in battle in X376.
Ultimately, Medivh became a household hero in that timeline.
So much so that the Magic Council in the current timeline still has epics praising 'Medivh's' deeds and sculptures promoting his spirit.
Even on 'Medivh's' death anniversary each year, the Council organizes memorial activities.
And in this first simulation...
Medivh's gains included eleven years' worth of magic power and 'Sage' attribute Dragon Slayer Magic.
Yes, with Irene's help, Medivh also became a Dragon Slayer.
When Medivh extracted the eleven years' worth of magic power he had diligently cultivated in Irene's timeline, his power directly broke through the S-Class Mage barrier, directly rising to the level of a Saint Ten Wizard...
However, the magic power within Medivh did not stop there.
He advanced from being a newcomer to the Ten Wizard Saints, which was Jura's level seven years ago, to the level of Jura seven years later, who was hailed as the strongest human during the Grand Magic Games period.
It wasn't until Medivh reached this level that his rate of improvement slowly stopped.
Medivh could clearly feel a huge barrier in front of him, obstructing him.
