Chapter 751: Mark X: Time Management
Chapter 751: Mark X: Time Management
Not long after Ekrayar disappeared,
"Brother Fengye!"
Lisana's crisp and pleasant voice rang out, and she walked in from the courtyard.
Accompanying her were Elsa, Mira, Wendy, and the others.
Fengye Xi smiled and asked, "Back so soon? What's the situation?"
Elsa smiled and said, "With that senior's help, the Council didn't give us a hard time. This war has been defined as a unilateral provocation by the Ghost Guild. Now, the dominators of the Ghost Guild and the other two guilds have been unilaterally ordered to disband."
"Mhm."
Fengye nodded agreeably.
Lisana approached him with a grin and said, "Brother Fengye, you don't seem surprised at all."
Fengye reached out and ruffled her hair affectionately. With a gentle smile, he explained, "With the Phoenix Miko on your side, there's no way the Council would dare cause you trouble."
"Phew..."
Lucy stretched her body, raising her arms above her head and straightening her slender waist, showcasing the perfect curves of a young girl. With a lively expression, she said, "It's finally over."
Elsa walked closer and looked at Fengye with a hint of regret. "I never expected so many troubles to arise one after the other. Some free spa resort coupons that others had given me just expired."
"Don't worry, I have tickets for a beach vacation right here."
Mira, standing by with a mischievous smile, produced several beach resort coupons from somewhere unknown.
Then she reached into her pocket again and pulled out a few more yellow coupons. "I also have tickets for a vacation at the Winkler Manor. And these are all valid indefinitely."
Elemental perception!
Elsa's large, dark eyes narrowed suspiciously as she turned to Mira. "Where did you get all these free vacation coupons?"
Mira seemed completely oblivious to Elsa's intimidating aura and smiled innocently. "The organizers gave them to me when I went to shoot the cover of the Magic Weekly."
"I see."
Elsa stroked her chin thoughtfully, considering if she should give this a try herself.
At that moment, Mira turned to Fengye and asked with a beaming smile, "Fengye, where would you like to go?"
Fengye burst into a radiant smile. Turning to Wendy and the others, he asked, "The spa, the beach, or the manor... Which one would you choose?"
"The beach!"
"The manor!"
"The spa!"
The girls voiced their differing opinions, each raising their hands.
Fengye considered their choices and smiled. "Three votes for the spa, then. Let's go with the spa resort. Majority rules."
Elsa hesitated slightly and said, "But the spa resort coupons..."
"Don't worry about that."
Fengye laughed and raised his left hand, snapping his fingers in the air.
Snap!
A faint golden light vanished in an instant between his fingers.
Wendy, curious about Fengye's action, asked, "Brother Fengye, what did you just do?"
Fengye ruffled Wendy's hair affectionately and smiled. "I had someone prepare it for us. You can all go back and pack your things now."
"Ah... I was planning to make the arrangements myself."
Lucy pouted, feeling left out.
As the heiress of the Heartfilia family, ordering someone to arrange a spa resort vacation would have been a simple matter, and it would have been a perfect opportunity to showcase her capabilities.
Fengye looked at Lucy and chuckled softly. "Next time."
"Then I'll go pack my bags first!"
Lisana waved cheerfully at Fengye as she turned to leave.
The other girls also waved goodbye and hurried off to their respective residences to pack.
Of course, no one would refuse a spa resort vacation arranged by Fengye, even if it meant less opportunity to get close to him individually. Not going would only give the other girls a chance to get ahead.
"...”
Fengye smiled gently as he watched the girls scurry off to pack their belongings.
Before him, a majestic golden clock appeared—the same cosmic-level treasure, the Phantom Clock, that was fused with his soul.
While his achievements and strength today were largely due to his diligent cultivation, the assistance of the Phantom Clock had also been indispensable.
In the previous Great War between Fairy Tail and the Ghost Guild, not a single future prediction had hinted at the presence of 'First Magic.' Despite foreseeing countless future branches, Feng Ye had come away empty-handed, leaving him slightly disappointed but not overly dejected.
During his four hundred years in the Fairy Tail world, even though he hadn't encountered First Magic, the Phantom Clock, which was fused with his soul, had been constantly absorbing the invisible temporal energy from the universe, dispelling the mist that shrouded its markings.
By the time he arrived at the Fairy Tail world, Feng Ye had unlocked nine markings on the Phantom Clock, from the first marking's time acceleration to the ninth marking's time freeze.
And now, after four centuries...
The tenth marking of the Phantom Clock had finally been unlocked!
Visible now,
The mist at the 'Mark X' position on the Phantom Clock had completely dissipated, clearly revealing the golden 'Mark X' pattern.
Feng Ye maintained a calm demeanor, and with a mere thought, he rotated the clock's hand, swiftly landing it on the 'Mark X' position, thus activating this new ability.
"Hmm... So this is that ability?"
After activating this ability, Feng Ye was initially taken aback, but soon a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he chuckled, "This is interesting."
Having come a long way on the path of controlling time, he was no longer the person who had only caught a glimpse of time, like a limited view through a tube.
Before activating Mark X, he had indeed been clueless about what this ability entailed. But the moment he activated it, he immediately comprehended its function in just a fleeting instant.
If one had to define it, this ability could be called—
Time Management!
Its effect was ever-present.
It sounded a bit perplexing, but if explained in a different way, it would be easier to understand.
When one's spatial abilities were honed to the extreme and completely mastered, they could achieve ubiquity—existing in one place and simultaneously in a billion others, connecting countless spaces and being present throughout the universe.
Mark X of the Phantom Clock was the temporal equivalent of this spatial ubiquity, allowing one to exist simultaneously in any timeframe!
To describe it simply:
If Erza, Mira, and Wendy all made plans to go on a date with Feng Ye, and they all chose the same time—tomorrow at 10 a.m.—Feng Ye could make it to all three dates simultaneously.
It wasn't a clone or illusion ability; he could manage time in a way that allowed him to be present in multiple places at once. To him, the dates would be sequential, but to Erza, Mira, and the others, they would be happening 'at the same time.'
This ability seemed to defy conventional logic, but Mark X allowed for such a paradox.
On the surface, this ability seemed most useful for a playboy, and one might assume it held little value for Feng Ye. However, that wasn't the case.
The essence of this ability transcended even time freeze; it surpassed the abilities to rewind the past or travel to the future. Simultaneous existence meant that he no longer needed to deliberately traverse through time. Once activated, he would exist concurrently in any given moment, past or future.
Transcending time stripping, reversing, and freezing!
