Chapter 1244: Chapter 841 Repair the Order_2 Chapter 1244: Chapter 841 Repair the Order_2 Although much time was wasted this time, Duanmu Huai found it incredibly rewarding.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the system, and quickly, the system information appeared before his eyes.
[Stage Two Task “Repair the Order” completed]
[Evaluation: S]
[Reward: Special Soul World Fragment–Spirit Temple]
[Reward: Special Ability Acquired “PERSONA”]
Very well.
Seeing the task settlement, Duanmu Huai excitedly clenched his fist. It was a rare S-grade evaluation for him, as, whether in games or in this world, Duanmu Huai seldom received an S-grade. After all, he was not one of those obsessive-compulsive players who must ensure everything is perfect. For Duanmu Huai, just completing the task was enough; the evaluation itself was unimportant.
But this time, he had lingered in that dreadful place for sixty years! If there were no merits, there were at least hardships!
So, what had Chaldea become now?
Duanmu Huai raised his head, looking around. It seemed to be a bedroom, and the window still showed the ceaseless howling blizzard and the snow-capped mountains, seemingly unchanged from before.
But…
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Just then, a knock sounded, and Duanmu Huai looked towards the door.
“Come in.”
“MASTER!”
With the door opening, Mash, dressed in a Chaldea uniform, hurried in.
“You're back!”
“I'm back. How are things on your end?”
“Everything is normal here! Just now, Chaldea detected an external signal, and the Director along with Dr. Romani have already established contact with the Clock Tower.”
“Oh?”
Hearing Mash's response, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.
“Take me to see.”
Following Mash's lead, Duanmu Huai arrived at the command center where Chaldea's staff were busy calculating communication data. At the command seat, a silver-haired girl stood, seriously addressing the staff. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai's arrival, the silver-haired girl paused, then turned and came over to him.
“Yo, you're still alive.”
Looking at Olga Marie in front of him, Duanmu Huai grinned and waved his hand, while she rolled her eyes irritably.
“Indeed, thanks to you… I never expected that you would be Chaldea's mysterious investor, the Judge of the Tribunal…”
“What's the situation now?”
“Now? The crisis of humanity's incineration has ended, and I've already communicated with the Clock Tower, they will send someone immediately to check the situation. I never thought Professor Rave would be the criminal intent on incinerating humanity and destroying human history… If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes…”
After that, Duanmu Huai asked Olga Marie some more questions, finally understanding what was happening with Chaldea's timeline–it was different from the “original” historical timeline. This time, Chaldea was ultimately built jointly by the Animusphere and the El-Melloi Family, with Animusphere responsible for providing the planning draft and the El-Melloi Family along with the Tribunal responsible for funding.
Therefore, Chaldea was no longer a subordinate agency of the United Nations but had become a subordinate institution of the Clock Tower.
Olga Marie assumed the role of the director of the Chaldea Research Center as the next Monarch of the Animusphere.
Just like when Duanmu Huai first came here, after the completion of Chaldea, fifty suitable candidates were recruited in an attempt to stop the burning of the Order and repair history. The only difference was that during the initial transfer, Olga Marie was called away by Reines and thus escaped that disaster.
Hmm… but in the original timeline, did she survive?
Duanmu Huai couldn't really remember; all he could recall was that in the control room, only he and Mash were left, and it seemed like everyone else was gone, right?
Next, just as in the memories of Duanmu Huai, Professor Rave blew up the transfer room, and Duanmu Huai also returned to the past and repaired the timeline of the Order. The only difference was that, in Olga Marie's memory, she and Dr. Romani were supporting Duanmu Huai from the rear, while in Duanmu's memory only Dr. Romani was present; Olga Marie never appeared.
So that's how the timeline was repaired.
After listening to Olga Marie's explanation, Duanmu Huai finally understood how the timeline was repaired this time. Just like the Tiger Spirit that started distorting human history from ancient times in an attempt to burn the Order, Duanmu Huai's action to save the Order also started over a decade ago, affecting Chaldea in the present day.
Looking closely, indeed, on the wall of the Chaldea command room hung the symbol of the Tribunal's skull and War Hammer, which Duanmu Huai remembered was not present in the old Chaldea command room.
And after contacting the outside world, according to what Olga Marie said, it was the outside world that could not contact Chaldea, which caused chaos–it looked like at that time, Chaldea and this future were isolated from each other and had not yet fully merged.
“Immediately upon receiving the message, they said they would send someone over right away, and it looks like they should be arriving soon.”
“Who is it?”
“Of course, it is me, respected elder brother.”
Just as Duanmu Huai's words fell, a figure appeared at the doorway. Duanmu Huai turned to look, only to see Reines standing there grinning, waving at him, while Sakura and Fiore also stood there, bowing to Duanmu Huai.
The three girls had grown a bit since Duanmu Huai last saw them; however, according to Olga Marie's timeline, it had only been a year or two.
Of course, for Duanmu Huai, the most notable change was that all three girls' hair had grown longer.
He remembered that in this world, a magician's hair was said to be a medium for magic, which is why both male and female magicians liked to keep their hair long.
“Upon learning that Chaldea had lost contact, Sakura was very worried indeed, almost desperate to rush over here.”
While saying this, Reines cheerfully patted Sakura on the shoulder, who immediately blushed and lowered her head.
“No, it's not like that… I was just worried that Big Brother might encounter an accident…”
“Regardless, you all did well.”
Duanmu Huai also smiled slightly at them; although Reines and the others hadn't helped him on the frontline, as “maintainers” of history, they had done an impressive job. If they had not continued to follow his orders, then the connection between the future and the past would probably not have been successfully established, and the repair of the Order could have failed.
“Although I don't feel it very much, elder brother… has the Order been repaired?”
“From what we see now, the Order has been successfully repaired.”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, he glanced at the planetary hologram inside the command center. Previously, this planetary hologram was entirely red and purple; now, it had turned a pale blue, with no trace of vivid red left on it.
“So, what should we do next?”
“What should we do next…”
Hearing Reines's inquiry, Duanmu Huai silently sighed.
“Next… let's focus on researching space and extraterrestrial colonization.”
“… Huh?”
