Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 732: Chapter 508: Mage Nancy’s ”Time Travel

Raylo nodded silently.

The two of them lingered no longer, turning to leave the palace steeped in death and sorrow. They retraced their steps, returning to the start of the Rainbow Bridge.

As they stepped back onto the Rainbow Bridge, Mage Morpheus immediately approached.

”How did it go?”

He asked.

Raylo took out the golden feathers from his Spatial Bag.

”We found this.”

When those golden feathers, emanating an aura of Divinity, appeared before Morpheus.

”This is...”

”The Angel of Death...”

He spoke the name, syllable by syllable.

”Although I was already certain of this Light Deity’s identity, I had been hoping we were mistaken until we found proof.”

”But now, there’s no room left for wishful thinking.”

His voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

He turned and pointed in another direction along the Rainbow Bridge.

”You’ve come at a good time.”

”Nancy has made an important discovery.”

Mage Nancy, the Legendary Female Mage with the title ”Blue Moon.”

Raylo’s heart stirred.

”Let’s go.”

The three of them hesitated no longer and walked onto the Rainbow Bridge together.

This time, the Rainbow Bridge extended toward an even more distant and brighter golden point of light.

「A few minutes later.」

The end of the Rainbow Bridge appeared before their eyes.

A massive landmass, like a Floating Island hundreds of times larger than the previous city fragment, floated quietly in the void.

That was... a truly magnificent, giant city!

Even from a great distance, Raylo could still clearly make out the city’s densely packed buildings, its wide, straight streets, and its hundreds of Magic Towers that soared into the clouds, pointing toward the heavens.

Although this city was also long dead and covered in a thick layer of dust, its intact silhouette still showcased its former glory and power.

”This... is Atos, the Sky City, capital of the Aofa Empire—the most powerful Magic Empire in this world.”

Mage Morpheus’s voice rang out beside them, tinged with melancholy and awe.

”According to this world’s records, Atos was the most brilliant pearl of the entire world. Millions of residents, tens of thousands of Official Mages, and... six Legends who presided over it.”

”Countless skyships zipped through the skies above the city, and the radiance of Magic lit up the night as brightly as day.”

”What a pity...”

The three of them walked off the Rainbow Bridge and set foot on the land of the Sky City.

The streets were completely empty.

The shops on either side had their doors and windows wide open, filled with dust, yet they still retained their original appearance.

The entire city was like a giant museum, forgotten by time.

Mage Nancy was standing in front of the tallest Magic Tower in the city center, waiting for them.

Today, she wore a pale blue mage’s robe, her long hair tied back with a simple ribbon. Her beautiful, somewhat aloof face was now etched with gravity.

”You’re here.”

Seeing the three of them arrive, she simply greeted them calmly.

Her gaze swept over the golden feathers in Raylo’s hand. Her eyes, like blue Gemstones, narrowed slightly, but she didn’t ask any questions.

She just turned and pointed to the magnificent, several-hundred-meter-tall Magic Tower behind her.

”I found some... interesting things here.”

She held out her hand, and several items floated in her palm.

A shattered Communication Crystal inscribed with complex runes.

Half of a book of Magic Notes written in the Elven Language.

And... a long-withered branch from the World Tree that still faintly emanated the breath of life.

”With these items, which are imbued with the essence of the powerful individuals from this place, I might be able to... glimpse a small part of the ’truth’ of what happened here back then.”

A strange light flickered in Mage Nancy’s eyes.

”Here, I am going to perform... Time Travel.”

Time Travel.

This was a Forbidden-Level Magic that existed only in legends!

It involved the two most profound and dangerous Domains in the entire system of Magic: Time and Space.

It was said that only a Legendary Mage who had comprehended the Law of Space-Time to its absolute limit could even attempt such a feat. And even then, it was only possible in a specific environment, with the help of a special medium, to glimpse an ”echo” of history—a small fragment, long past, lingering in the cracks of space-time.

Raylo had never expected that Mage Nancy would dare to attempt such a dangerous, Forbidden-Level Magic!

”Nancy, are you sure about this?”

Mage Delin’s face also showed a grave expression.

”You should know the risks of Time Travel better than I do.”

”I’m not completely certain.”

”But with Morpheus here to help, I’m confident I can accomplish this miracle.”

Nancy glanced at Morpheus beside her, and the Space Traveler gave her a slight nod in response.

Having said that, she hesitated no longer.

She walked to the front of the tallest Magic Tower and gently placed the items from her hand on the ground.

Then, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

HUMMM...

A vast and pure wave of Magic Power flowed slowly out of her body like a tide.

Her long hair began to float gently in the air, stirring without a wind.

She stretched out her hands and began to trace complex and esoteric runes in the air before her.

As the number of runes grew, a huge, circular Array with a diameter of over ten meters slowly took shape beneath her.

At the center of the Array were the items she was using as a ”medium.”

”By space-time as my witness, in the name of the Law...”

Mage Nancy’s cool voice slowly echoed across the empty plaza.

Behind her, Mage Morpheus silently provided Mana support, using his own Space Magic to stabilize the area and prevent any interference with Mage Nancy’s Casting.

”Trace the faded light, reveal the shadows of the past...”

”Open!”

She snapped her eyes open!

Within her blue eyes, it was as if countless Stars were being born and dying, as if endless time was flowing!

BOOM!

The Space-Time Array beneath her suddenly erupted with a blinding light!

The items serving as the medium were instantly turned to dust under the light’s glare.

And the ”information” of the past that escaped from them was forcefully ripped from the river of space-time by the Array’s Power!

Immediately after, the scene before their eyes began to change dramatically!

The long-dead buildings around them started to become illusory and distorted.

One by one, translucent, ghost-like figures began to materialize out of thin air on the streets.

Some were hurrying on their way, some were haggling in the streetside shops, and some were laughing and playing in the plaza...

The clamor of crowds, the cries of vendors, the sound of laughter...

Countless long-vanished sounds seemed to cross the endless river of time to echo in their ears once more.

At this moment, the dead city seemed to have... come back to life!

Raylo and the others were like observers from another dimension, quietly watching the city play out its final day of prosperity and clamor before its destruction.

Under Mage Nancy’s control, the flow of time became extremely fast.

Sunrise, sunset.

A whole day passed in just a few short seconds.

When night fell once again, and countless Star-like Magic Lamps lit up the sky above the city, illuminating the entire Sky City as if it were day...

Then, disaster struck!

In the sky, the ”artificial moon,” created from Magic Energy and emitting a soft glow, trembled violently without any warning!

Immediately after.

CRACK!

A crisp shattering sound echoed through the clouds!

The ”moon,” like a broken mirror, suddenly shattered!

Countless fragments, like meteors, rained down from the sky, crashing into the city below.

In an instant, the city was thrown into chaos.
