Chapter 1707: Chapter 1160: Planning to Stay? (Part 2)

At the very least, for Reiger, this is a perfect ending.

It’s just that, even Reiger did not expect that while he was in the midst of an intense battle with Cornus, Altoria and Morgan would actually join forces to battle Alberon and successfully defeat him.

Alberich Vortigern, he was someone Reiger had intentionally left for last to deal with.

His true form is the Calamity Worm capable of destroying Britain. When Cornus is vanquished, it would truly awaken, transforming into a bottomless wormhole capable of swallowing everything, leading the world into complete ruin.

Because the Fantasy Tree has already been drained by Morgan, and its Magic Power was used to revive Britain, summoning fairies to make the Fairy Country of Britain a special Lostbelt, similar to a Singularity. Unless everything is turned against its rebellion and history is restored, the British Lostbelt would not be pruned.

Considering this, Reiger intentionally left Alberon for last, hoping he would awaken as the Calamity Worm, destroying everything and causing the British Lostbelt to disappear.

As long as Alberon, who has transformed into the Calamity Worm, is defeated before the British Lostbelt completely disappears, pan-human history will not be affected. Even if Britain is destroyed, the collapse phenomenon will not occur.

Who would have thought, at the same time as he vanquished Cornus, Alberon would be defeated by Morgan and Altoria before awakening as the Calamity Worm.

Reiger learned about this from Chaldea.

After Reiger vanquished Cornus, and before finding Alberon, he returned successfully from the battlefield with Chaldea’s team in a dimensional boundary drilling ship to return to the battlefield to welcome Reiger.

It was at this moment that Reiger learned from Matthew and others that they had already welcomed back Morgan and Altoria, and the two Paradise Fairies had defeated the final enemy—Alberich Vortigern, who is currently receiving treatment.

This indeed surprised Reiger.

Reiger wasn’t surprised that the two could defeat Alberon.

Alberon is limited in power before awakening as the Calamity Worm. Not to mention facing two Paradise Fairies, even against Morgan alone, whether he could win was still an unknown, let alone with the two teaming up.

But, Reiger couldn’t help but let his mind wander and generated some doubts.

"Could this be a retreat path arranged by that woman Morgan in advance?"

It’s no wonder Reiger would think this way, as Morgan’s obsession with Britain is too deep, forcing him to be suspicious.

If they could defeat the Allied Forces and win the wager with Reiger, then naturally, everything goes smoothly.

But if they lost, if she were to fall from her throne, she would ensure Alberon is defeated before Reiger successfully vanquishes Cornus, securing Britain, preventing the British Lostbelt from being pruned.

Having generated such doubts, Reiger really wanted to ask Morgan, but she seemed to anticipate Reiger’s actions, using the need for treatment and recuperation as an excuse to stay in one of the rooms in Chaldea, not coming out.

"...The Director was quite opposed, but to avoid another conflict with Queen Morgan, we had to accept her request."

Matthew told Reiger about this with a complex expression.

Obviously, Chaldea initially didn’t want to accept the existence of Morgan, who was originally an enemy.

But considering her formidable fighting strength, if she were to start a battle, it could potentially defeat the current entirety of Chaldea.

Helplessly, Chaldea temporarily accepted Morgan, letting her stay inside the [Storm Border].

Having faced a closed door, Reiger did not force his way in.

After all, no matter what, the fairies of Britain were nearly extinct, even if the British Lostbelt was preserved, it was merely a desolate wasteland and a charred land, impossible to form a country anymore.

Even if all this was Morgan’s calculation, she could no longer revive Britain.

Noconalay also told Reiger afterward, lamenting that she would take the Northern Fairies away from Britain, heading to pan-human history.

"Britain is no longer suitable for living. For the sake of my people, I need to find a new home."

This was Noconalay’s original words, and it’s an incredibly difficult task.

It’s important to note that the current state of pan-human history is not good either, with human history frozen, and the Earth turned into a blank slate.

To restore human history to its original state and the Earth back to vitality, Chaldea will have a lot of work ahead.

For the Northern Fairies to truly settle in pan-human history, it’s inevitable to support Chaldea first, helping pan-human history reclaim frozen human history.

"Regarding this matter, we have already persuaded Noconalay, and also persuaded Pasival and Bagster, allowing everyone to agree to stay in Chaldea, continuing alliance with Chaldea to fight for pan-human history’s human history."

Da Vinci said this to Reiger, looking quite pleased.

Securing such a group of formidable reinforcements for Chaldea is undoubtedly a good thing.

Reiger had no comment on this, but he did convince Noconalay to help identify some incorrigible individuals among the Northern Fairies, rooting out the betrayers in the original text who were disloyal to Noconalay, leaving them in the charred land and endless desert of Britain, letting them fend for themselves before letting go.

Habettelot and Gareth were also interested in Chaldea and pan-human history, hence, they would stay in Chaldea, leaving Britain.

Matthew, Da Vinci, and Fujimaru Ritsuka were all pleased by this.

However, one person refused Chaldea’s invitation...

...

High above the former site of the Fairy Country Britain.

In the ever-dusk sky, a wholly white, advanced, highly technological-looking, streamlined airship flew slowly here, heading toward the edge of the British Lostbelt.

[Storm Border], the dimensional boundary drilling ship that Chaldea relies on for survival, opened its invisible Magic Power barrier, resisting the high-altitude howling winds, flying slowly.

"Whoosh——"

The howling high-altitude wind blew on the airship, resisted by the Magic Power barrier, only a small portion circulated in, blowing on the ship’s deck.

"Swish!"

Reiger’s silhouette suddenly appeared here, seemingly falling from mid-air, landing on the deck.

He did not admire the scenery on the deck but raised his gaze, looking toward the front of the deck.

There, a figure stood facing the wind.

The wind lifted her academy-style magician attire and skirts, causing them to sway constantly.

Her tied-up long hair also fluttered in the wind, blending with the color of the dusk in the sky.

The fairy girl holding the chosen staff seemed unaware of Reiger’s arrival, standing quietly on the deck, looking out ahead.

There lay the desolate land, as well as the horizon connecting sky and sea.

Reiger watched silently for a moment before stepping forward.

"What are you doing in a place like this?"

This sounded harsh, but Reiger spoke it in a relaxed tone.

Unfortunately, Altoria didn’t answer this question.

"So this is how it feels to look at Britain from here."

Altoria muttered to herself, as if talking to herself.

"Haven’t you had enough of this place?" Reiger bluntly said, "And you’re still reminiscing here?"

"...You really become unpleasant to talk to when it comes to this Fairy Country." Altoria was helpless, glancing at Reiger, and said, "Britain is already destroyed, the fairies nearly extinct, is this result satisfying to you?"

"What do you think?" Reiger said without any emotional fluctuation, "Don’t tell me your altruistic tendencies are at work again."

Having never spent a good day here in Britain, yet Britain’s downfall and the near extinction of the fairies made Altoria feel quite bad...

Reiger also found it enough.

"The matter is settled, let’s not talk about it anymore."

Reiger switched the topic and stated his intention.

"I heard you intend to stay?"
