Chapter 483

【Inside the Moon Temple, it felt like an entirely different world from the outside.】

【It was more like a magnificent ancient castle.】

【The walls all around were piled with gold, and even the floor was constructed of emerald jade.】

【A faint, lingering fragrance drifted in the air; just smelling this scent was enough to make one feel refreshed and happy.】

【"This is where I live, and at the same time, it is the castle that carries my soul."】

【The dancer walked at the front, giving an introduction.】

【Then, her footsteps paused slightly.】

【"By the way, it is worth mentioning that this place possesses a time property. It was something I forced that guy Chronos to build for me many years ago."】

【"It can be set to a maximum of three times the flow of time."】

【"In other words, for every day that passes outside, three days can pass in here."】

【"A three-fold time difference."】

【At this moment, the dancer was like a child proudly showing off her rare toy to her little friends.】

【A look of triumph filled her seductive cheeks.】

【"A three-fold time difference... a castle that slows down the flow of time?"】

【Erza was somewhat surprised.】

【"This is truly amazing! Something related to time actually exists..." Mirajane kept looking around, exclaiming in wonder.】

【As for Black Natsu, he also nodded in agreement, but he was not overly surprised.】

【"Instead, he looked at the dancer: 'Say what you have to say quickly; we are still in a bit of a rush.'"】

【The dancer's red lips curled slightly: "What an impatient little brother. Find a place to sit down."】

【With a snap of the dancer's fingers, sofas appeared one by one in front of Black Natsu and the others.】

【The dancer flopped onto a sofa without a care. Her perfect figure sank into the sofa, and she let out a comfortable sigh.】

【"Standing while talking makes my waist ache; this is much more comfortable."】

【"Don't just stand there looking, sit down quickly."】

【Black Natsu and the others sat down accordingly, their gazes fixed on the dancer: "What exactly is the deal you mentioned?"】

【The dancer opened her eyes: "Before the deal begins, I want to ask you a question."】

【"Do you... know what you are?"】

【She seemed to understand the meaning behind the dancer's words.】

【Black Natsu nodded slightly.】

【"That's good." The dancer smiled.】

【"Then, let me tell a story first, a story... about over a thousand years ago, about a bitch who, for the sake of a man, backstabbed her own good sister."】

【Seeming to have thought of something, Black Natsu could not help but ask: "The story you are talking about, could it be the story of the White Heavenly Maiden and the Black Heavenly Maiden?"】

【The dancer snapped her fingers: "Correct! Too bad there's no prize."】

【She took a deep breath: "A thousand years ago, we actually didn't know the concept of a god."】

【"We were all originally human, just... people who had broken their limiters, fully surpassed ordinary people, and welcomed a new life."】

【"In that era, such people were not many, but if you counted them up, there were not few either."】

【"At that time, I and that bitch—right, the one you call the White Heavenly Maiden—were a sanctimonious guy."】

【"A disgusting, stinking woman..."】

【"Alright, alright, you only need to describe her once; you don't have to curse her so many times every time you bring her up."】

【Black Natsu helplessly interrupted the dancer's words; honestly, he didn't know how many times the dancer had cursed this White Heavenly Maiden along the way.】

【The dancer's movements stiffened slightly.】

【Then she spoke helplessly: "Fine, anyway, the general background of the matter is like this."】
