"Hmm~"
Inside Aizu Village, Zeros suddenly opened his eyes, uttered a soft murmur, and instinctively pushed himself up from the ground with his hands.
"I'm dead...." Zeros looked bewildered as he placed his hand on his chest. He could clearly feel the strong heartbeat emanating from it, but in his memory, he was clearly pierced through the heart by that wind blade and was dead beyond dead.
Could it be that it was just a dream?
"wrong!"
Zeros suddenly woke up and quickly looked to the side. There, the burly man's body lay flat on the ground. Zeros rushed over. The burly man's hands and feet were ice cold, without any warmth, and there was no breath coming out of his nostrils. He was clearly lifeless.
"Dad, and everyone else..."
Zeros turned his gaze elsewhere and saw many familiar faces, but these faces were no different from the burly man's, lifeless, just corpses.
"What on earth happened...?"
Zeros searched the entire village, only to find himself the last living person. Moreover, the village, which he remembered as having been destroyed by a tornado, had now returned to its original state, and everything was shrouded in mystery.
What he wants most right now is for someone to suddenly appear and answer his questions.
"Uh~"
Just then, Zeros suddenly shrank back and squatted down. A sharp pain shot through his eyes, as if he had been pricked by a needle. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and quickly covered his eyes with his hands.
The pain lasted for more than ten seconds, until sweat poured down Zeros's forehead before it stopped.
Zeros took a breath and gently lowered his hand. A light flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly, seemingly understanding, and murmured to himself, "So that's how it is, the power of time..."
The miraculous power that pulled him back from hell and restored the entire village to its original state came from the power of time.
The Eye of Time!
Before his death, Zeros awakened a magic he named the Eye of Time, an eye containing the power of time, an eye capable of creating miracles!
"But why was I the only one who was resurrected...?"
Having realized the kind of magic he had awakened, Zeros naturally understood why he had been reborn. However, since the Eye of Time had resurrected him, why couldn't it also resurrect his father and the rest of the village...?
Thinking of this, Zeros quickly shook his head and gave a self-deprecating smile. He seemed to be too greedy and didn't take the matter of bringing the dead back to life seriously enough. He had heard his father mention that in this world, any magic that desecrates life is taboo.
It was already a miracle that he was able to revive one person; to revive the entire village was a bit too much to ask.
People must learn to be content!
only...
Zeros had indeed learned it before, but now he had no desire to learn it. Since a miracle had happened to him once, why couldn't it happen a second, a third time...?
Time is inherently a force of miracles, and now that he possesses this force, he also has the opportunity to create miracles.
Moreover, he had already died once, so after being reborn, he naturally wouldn't care too much about anything else. He only wanted to wholeheartedly pursue what he wanted. In the past, he might have cared about the so-called taboos, but now, it was hard to say.
It has to be said that Zeros's mentality underwent a tremendous change before and after his rebirth. Or rather, his mentality began to change after the appearance of Erigor. He understood that only by having strength could he control his own destiny and protect everything he wanted to protect.
He couldn't do that before.
But now, having awakened the Eye of Time, he has the potential to become the strongest mage in the world.
Perhaps when he can truly control time at will, he will be able to create miracles, defy fate, and bring people back to life!
