Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 396 Moon Mirror Prophecy

Thanks to Fate's efforts, Vivio finally chose to let Nanoha go.

The four best friends took a helicopter to the Holy King Church together.

In front of Karim's office door, the wind knocked gently on the door.

"Please come in."

With Karim's permission, the four best friends walked into her office.

"Excuse me, First Lieutenant Takamachi Nanoha is reporting in."

"Executive Officer Fate Testrossa reports."

When Neyefit met Karim for the first time, he saluted immediately, while Xue and Jifeng on the side looked like they were meeting old friends and were very relaxed.

"Welcome, nice to meet you."

"I am Karim Gracia, a knight of the Holy King's Church."

Karim instinctively turned her gaze to Fate, marveling at how similar Fate and Xue looked.

Of course, she only sighed in her heart and did not show it. After all, that would be quite impolite.

"Please come over here."

Following Karim, the four best friends came to the tea table by the window. At this time, our Young Master Ke, no, now it should be Admiral Ke who has grown up and been promoted to the admiral of the Dimension Navigation Force, had already taken his seat.

Xue and Jifeng also nodded slightly to Chrono and sat down without any hesitation, showing a relaxed look.

"Thank you."

Nanoha nodded solemnly and took a seat, while Fate saluted Chrono.

"Admiral Chrono, long time no see."

"Yes, Executive Officer Fate."

Looking at her sworn brother and sister who were in such a formal manner, Xue always had an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so serious~"

Karim, who was watching the conversation between Chrono and Fate, couldn't help laughing.

"We are all friends in private, so you guys should relax a little~"

"Since Knight Kalim has said so, then relax a little."

Since the head of the church had said so, Fate, Nanoha, and Chrono naturally stopped being so formal and serious.

"Well, Chrono-kun, long time no see."

"Brother, how are you doing recently?"

When Fate called him brother, our Krono's face immediately turned red.

"Don't call me that, we are not children anymore..."

"Brother is blushing~"

Hearing Xue's teasing, our Krono's face turned even redder.

"Alicia you..."

Seeing Chrono's expression, Hayate almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly cleared his throat and got to the point.

"Okay, let's summarize yesterday's events and talk about the real reason for the establishment of Mobile Section 6."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Feng.

“In addition, the next steps must be discussed.”

Ji Feng gave a quick and comprehensive summary of yesterday's emergency. After the summary, he naturally moved on to the highlight of the day - the real reason for the establishment of the Sixth Department.

Because it was a confidential matter, the curtains by the window were automatically drawn and the light suddenly dimmed.

"The ostensible reason for establishing the Sixth Department was to search for the ancient legacy, the 'Holy Relic Crystal', and to conduct experiments with independent elite units."

"You also know."

Following Krono's words, holographic information of him, Lindy, and Karim appeared before everyone.

"The supervisors of Section Six are myself, Knight Karim, and my, Alicia's, and Fate's mother and supervisor, Lindy Hallowin."

"Also, although it wasn't an official decision, the three admirals approved this force and pledged to provide assistance."

The information of three old men, namely the three admirals of the management bureau, appeared on the desktop.

Fate and Nanoha, who were originally unaware of the situation, were somewhat surprised that the Six Departments actually had the support of three admirals.

As for our Xue, we had anticipated this a long time ago. After all, it would be impossible for such a large unit like Section 6 to have super combat effectiveness without the support of some big shots behind it.

“It all has to do with my skills.”

Karim stood up, holding a stack of tied talismans in her hand.

"My skill - Moon Mirror Prophecy."

Karim untied the belt holding the talisman, and the talisman immediately began to glow and fly up, surrounding her.

"A prophecy written in verse, predicting the future six months to several years from now. It can only be activated when the magical power of the two moons blends with each other."

"Therefore, there is only one opportunity to write a prophecy each year."

Three pieces of talisman paper flew in front of Xue, Fate and Nanoha respectively.

"The language is also ancient Belkan. The indecipherable text will change its meaning depending on the interpretation. Future events will also be written randomly."

"Since interpretations can be wrong, it can only be said to be divination with a certain degree of accuracy."

Karim took back the talisman paper.

"In short, it's an inconvenient skill."

"Not only the Holy King Church, but also the senior officers of the Dimensional Navigation Force will review these prophecies."

Chrono took over Karim's words.

"Whether you trust it or not, it is, after all, the predicted intelligence from knowledgeable people."

"However, the ground troops really hate these prophecies."

Hayate took over what Chrono said.

"Because those in power hate these rare skills."

"You mean Lieutenant General Regius Gates?"

Xue, Fate and Nanoha had no idea who Hayate was talking about.

"Knight Karim's prophecies have hinted at a major event this year."

Chrono and Karim looked at each other, and a talisman paper rose in front of Karim's eyes.

"Where ancient crystals intersect with infinite desires, the sacred wings of the King of the Dead awaken in the holy land. The messengers rejoice. The Tower of Law in Middle-earth burns to ashes, and the Ship of Law that guards the vast seas falls apart."

"this…"

"Could it be that..."

Upon hearing the content of the prophecy, Nanoha and Fate were shocked, while Xue seemed to be thinking about something.

The sacred wings of the King of the Dead...it must be that thing.

"The ancient legacy served as the trigger for the destruction of the Authority's ground headquarters and the collapse of the Authority's system."

"...Everyone, I think I roughly understand what the prophesied sacred wings of the deceased king refer to."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on Xue, and Xue immediately entered the Star King state in front of Fate, Nanoha, and Chrono's extremely surprised eyes.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Seeing Xue's changed appearance, Karim also changed her address.

"Star King..."

"…His Majesty?"

Fate, Nanoha, and Chrono, who were unaware of the situation, were confused. What was going on?

"Well, the situation is a bit complicated. To put it simply, I'm actually the reincarnation of Alicia Pendragon, the Star King, one of the Four Kings of ancient Belka."

"Eh?"

"elder sister?"

"what?"

The three confused people looked at Ji Feng and Karim, and the two who already knew the situation nodded.

"..."

For a moment, the three were speechless. Their sister/sister/best friend was the reincarnation of an ancient Belkan king!?

"...I see. No wonder Hayate changed his original plan that day and brought... brought you, my sister, to the church."

After calming himself down a little, Fate nodded hesitantly.

Bringing his sister and the reincarnation of the Star King to the Holy King Church is indeed much more important than the auction escort mission.

"Well~ Don't be nervous, I'm still me, the Alicia Testrossa you know."

Xue also noticed the complicated moods of the three people.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, let's get back to the topic."

Xue waved her hand and continued speaking.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Sacred Wings of the King of the Dead refer to... the blade that quelled the Belkan War—the Cradle of the Holy King."

"Cradle of the Holy King!?"

The person who reacted the most when hearing this name was naturally Karim, a knight of the Holy King's Church.

"Yes, as far as I know, the Holy King's Cradle is still sleeping somewhere in the land of Midzildar, and the only condition for activating it again..."

Xue paused.

“…It’s the bloodline of the Holy King family.”

"Bloodline of the Holy King family? But...!"

Ji Feng originally wanted to say that the Holy King family's bloodline had long been extinct, but she suddenly remembered what Xue had said before.

"Alicia, are you talking about... Vivio?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Hayate's words, Fate and Chrono were stunned, but Nanoha lost her composure.

"Hayate, Alicia, does this have anything to do with Vivio?"

"...I'm not sure if you'll believe this, but Vivio looks almost identical to Olivier, the Holy King."

"!"

Listening to Xue's words, and combining them with the identity of the artificial mage in Vivio's report, the conclusion is already clear.

"Is Vivio... a clone of the Holy King?"

"It's almost the same."

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

"…I see."

After thinking for a moment, Chrono looked at Xue, who looked a little strange but not unfamiliar at the moment, and spoke slowly.

"In short, our primary goal now is to protect Vivio while searching for the Holy King's Cradle to prevent them from meeting. Isn't that right, Alicia?"

"That's right. After all, a Saint King's Cradle that can't be activated is nothing more than a pile of junk."
