Chapter 501: The Migurdia Race's Telepathy Ability Ranks Upper-Tier

When Orsted was found by Broly and learned that Dragon King Perugius had come to the magic tower in Buena Village looking for him, yet was nearly beaten to death by Broly, this Dragon God's expression was somewhat dazed.

Because in his loop impressions, Perugius only descended from the aerial fortress when acquiring sculptural artworks; the rest of the time he was a flyer in the sky, a veritable lonely King of Heroes.

"My aerial fortress detected abnormal magic power appearing in the Fittoa Region; I suspect that may be a sign that Laplace is about to be unsealed from another dimension, so I wanted to come discuss it with you."

After Orsted was brought to Buena Village by Broly, and Dragon King Perugius saw him, he explained his reason for seeking Orsted.

Orsted summoned his mount dragon; Perugius rode along, and Broly also flew with them to the magic power anomaly point the other spoke of — in the skies above the wild outskirts of Roa City, a clump of red magic power visible but intangible.

"This is it; back then Laplace was sealed by my master, Previous Dragon God Urpen, using the Dragon God's Netherworld Sending; I suspect he is about to be unsealed again."

Orsted frowned at the red magic power clump before him.

"How is it? Is this the guy you want me to beat?"

Broly asked curiously.

"No, I don't know what this is, but I can be certain it has nothing to do with the former Demon God King Laplace."

Orsted shook his head and said so with absolute certainty.

"Demon God King Laplace will revive at the 500th year of the Dragon King Calendar; this is a grand fate event belonging to this world; he absolutely did not return to this world by unsealing the Dragon God's Netherworld Sending's spatial seal; the other party most likely chose suicide directly after the seal was completed four hundred years ago, returning to this world through a reincarnation secret technique; those children gradually appearing with Laplace factors in their bodies are the proof."

"Wait, Laplace won't revive until the 500th year of the Dragon King Calendar; Orsted, do you have the ability to foresee the future?"

Perugius asked with some excitement; re-subjugating Demon God King Laplace, avenging the comrades who died back then — this is the Dragon King's long-cherished wish; therefore his aerial fortress has drifted in Asura Kingdom's skies for over four hundred years.

"Let's go down and talk; I'll tell you everything."

The three returned to Buena Village and entered the magic tower; the mess here had already been largely repaired by Roxy using earth magic; newly summoned water elementals served both Orsted and Perugius a cup of hot tea as if nothing had happened.

"I have actually been looping time between the 330th and 530th years of the Dragon King Calendar..."

Orsted stated straightforwardly the matter concerning time looping.

"No wonder you always act like you know everything."

After hearing this, Perugius realized suddenly, understanding why when they first met Orsted looked like he saw through him, with an air of knowing him deeply.

"But why didn't you tell me this in advance? I consider our relationship should be pretty good."

The Dragon King asked.

"Because it wasn't necessary; this loop is destined to continue looping; I just didn't expect you would suddenly come down looking for me, and because of the matter of finding me, nearly harm Roxy Migurdia; good thing she's fine."

"Orsted, compared to me, your kin, you care more about a demon? Know that I was nearly killed."

The Dragon King's gaze was subtle, his tone seemingly somewhat resentful, as if blaming Orsted for not standing on the side of his fellow Dragon Race.

"If you die, it's just this loop's death; but if Roxy Migurdia dies, then your next loop, and the loop after that, you'll die too; and the one who kills you might be me."

Orsted said calmly, as if stating an objective fact.

"Just because of him?"

Perugius looked at Broly.

"Yes, just because of him."

Orsted nodded; based on his understanding of Broly, if the event of Roxy being killed this loop truly occurred, Perugius would absolutely be sentenced to death in subsequent loops.

After all, even some irrelevant bastards merely remembered by Broly from previous loops, Broly doesn't find it troublesome to want to kill them; let alone the chief culprit who harmed his wife.

"Orsted, I didn't expect you're a guy who would submit beneath someone else."

Perugius's gaze at the Dragon God was full of disappointment.

"Broly agreed to kill Demon God King Laplace who revives at the 500th year of the Dragon King Calendar for me."

Orsted said.

"But words return; fortunately some tragic events didn't happen; I apologize to you, Broli-sama, and your wife for my earlier reckless behavior."

As long as one stands on the opposite side of Demon God King Laplace, they are his, Perugius's, brother by another father and mother.

Orsted also talked with Perugius about some other things, like the hatred between the Dragon Race and the Human God; these are all things this loop's Perugius does not understand.

Of course, also including that Orsted will go to the World of Nothingness in the future, and may kill him later to seize the Dragon Race Secret Treasure fragments in his body.

Hearing this, the Twelve Spirit Apostles already resurrected and following behind Perugius all glared at Orsted.

Perugius, on the other hand, again showed a pensive expression: "I see; no wonder Orsted, as my kin, you're unwilling to get close to me; it's because you're worried that after building deep friendship with me, you won't be able to bring yourself to kill me in the future, right?"

"In a very early loop, you were my teacher who taught me magic, and also a kin brother who came to this era from ancient times together; I don't want to kill you."

"But you will take revenge on that guy called Human God, just like I want to take revenge on Laplace."

"The Dragon Race Secret Treasure, in the past, could be taken out from the body of its possessor without killing the possessor.

Only this method of extracting the secret treasure has been lost; and in previous loops I alone spent exhaustive effort just on revenge; but now I have ample leeway; I am searching for this lost Dragon Race Secret Technique."

This is what Orsted has been doing all along before the time looping point arrives.

"You should tell me honestly; I can help too."

"I'm not certain of your situation; if I tell the truth, you might treat me as an enemy."

"Is my magnanimity that narrow in your eyes?"

Orsted did not respond, but one thinks he may have honestly informed before, then got not-so-good results.

"Cough cough, if relations are good, they definitely won't be narrow; if possible, tell me next loop."

"Anyway there are still many loops to reincarnate; okay; incidentally, I still have to remind next loop's you not to make a move on Roxy Migurdia; hmm, perhaps commissioning someone else to build the magic tower would be more suitable."

"No, one matter doesn't trouble two masters; and the magic tower I build should be the best magic tower in this world; next loop you can continue coming to find me."

"Perugius, aren't you quite mindful of demons?"

"If it's to win over people who can deal with Laplace, I can also not mind; as long as you explain the ins and outs to me in advance."

Loop 21, Dragon King Perugius agreed to become Broly's House's magic tower construction master.

And to atone for this incident of nearly harming Roxy, this magic tower can undergo detailed exclusive customization for more functional aspects.

Of course, this is already a matter belonging to after time looping — the next loop's matter — and still requires Orsted to inform the next loop's him.

"If next loop's you refuses to execute this matter, I can beat you into submission, right?"

Orsted asked.

"Arrogant!"

Those words made the Twelve Spirit Apostles furious — they couldn't beat Broly, so did they think they could beat Orsted?

The Twelve Spirit Apostles attacked, but Orsted used only a single Chaos Magic spell to easily deal with the eleven who belonged to the magic spirit race; the only one left was Shivalier of the Angel Race.

"Well, if this can be resolved through persuasion, that would be best."

Perugius felt immense pressure, sensing that everyone seemed capable of easily defeating him.

The 21st loop passed quickly, the 22nd loop began, and unsurprisingly, Dragon King Perugius experienced crushing defeat — and not just once.

Dragon God Orsted handed him his first loss; after the Magic Tower was built near Buena Village, Perugius wanted to test the weight of Broly — who would later help defeat Demon God King Laplace — and got beaten again.

"Now you believe, right?"

Orsted asked.

"I believe, I believe."

22nd loop, Year 407, September — beaten by the time-traveling Saiyan, the battered Dragon King was thoroughly convinced of Broly's strength.

In this loop Roxy was captured in autumn of Year 408 in her home village on the Magic Continent; this loop's demon girl had a life of smooth sailing.

In Dragon King Year 371 — several years before Roxy's birth — a terrifying man named Orsted visited the Migurdia village.

"From now on, I demand your village communicate using language and writing. If I discover you continue using your race's special ability to communicate, don't blame me for massacring the village."

Orsted used terrifying power to coerce the Migurdia tribe, during which he fought a battle with the Demon King of the Rikarisu Region.

After the Undead Demon King Atofy and her younger brother Badigadi were defeated, the Migurdia clan, to survive, banned the use of telepathy in the village.

Therefore, Roxy in this loop did not feel isolated after birth, because everyone in the village had to use language to communicate, and the girl had a decent childhood.

At age 13, she met her magic enlightenment teacher Bardikand, but did not leave the village, instead living plainly as a village girl.

However, at the age when love first blooms, just as the girl was about to spark romance with some village youths, that terrifying silver-haired man appeared again and declared to her: "Roxy Migurdia, before Year 407, any male you fall for will be killed by me."

Because of this declaration, Roxy Migurdia became an existence the village youths were forbidden to approach, until September of Year 407 when an outsider arrived in the village and actively approached her.

"I've been targeted by a terrifying guy — any male who interacts with me will be targeted too."

"It's fine, I'm not afraid."

"But I don't want to drag others into this."

"Didn't he say only males you fall for before Year 407 would be killed? But it's already Year 408 now, so — are you willing to fall for me, Miss Roxy?"

Autumn of Year 408, Roxy with restored loop memories went a bit crazy and complained to Broly's face: "Mr. Orsted, couldn't you use gentler methods? I said I wanted to stay with my parents, but he directly threatened to massacre the village?!"

"It can't be helped; the curse on him means the only effective methods he can use are like this."

Broly was also somewhat helpless, but Orsted's adjustment methods were indeed effective.

This loop's Roxy never left the village, living happily with her parents the whole time, and the villagers treated her kindly as well.

Because Orsted forcibly removed telepathy by force, she never felt the rejection of being an outcast among villagers, and had a childhood completely different from her original fate trajectory.

In this loop, a Transfer Magic Circle was also built on the Migurdia village side, connecting Buena Village and Roa City.

This let Eris, who later came to visit and recovered her memories, experience the feeling of adventuring on the Magic Continent side.

"Broly, look, I caught a King Tortoise!"

This is an experience activity belonging to the Migurdia tribe.

"Loin, your son-in-law's disciple is really capable."

His companion's words made Loin unable to feel happy.

Anyone with eyes could see that the red-haired girl's relationship with Broly was anything but ordinary.

Besides her, his own daughter's disciple — a green-haired little girl — also had an unusual relationship with the boy; both were far too intimate.

But for some reason, his own daughter acted completely unconcerned, getting along harmoniously with both girls, leaving this father with suffering he couldn't voice.

The 22nd loop ended, the 23rd loop arrived.

"Please, Broly-san, Teacher Roxy, Cousin Eris, and Sylphy — you're the only ones I can think of who can help Miss Lilia."

Dragon King Year 412, winter — a cold winter; Rudeus came running early in the morning, prostrated himself in full kowtow pose, and knelt directly before Broly to beg.

After questioning, it turned out his father Paul Greyrat had cheated with the household maid while his mother Zenith was pregnant, getting Miss Lilia pregnant as well.

"Since your maid Miss Lilia is carrying Uncle Paul's child, why not just have Uncle Paul marry her too?"

"Ah, Cousin Eris, it's not that simple — it's not like your family's situation. My mother is a devout believer of the Millis Religion, and the Millis Religion advocates monogamy. My father's infidelity is, to my mother, an outright betrayal.

If Miss Lilia isn't driven out of the house, whether their relationship can be maintained is still a question."

Unlike the original Rudeus, who faced the possibility of Lilia being driven out in deep winter and a potential double death, had no better choice, and could only wrong his mother Zenith to exonerate his father Paul.

The current Rudeus has an additional better option — he came to seek help from Broly, this big brother who came to explain the loop situation to him right after birth.

"Right now, only you lot, Broly-san, can help Miss Lilia."

【To repay the favor from childhood when I secretly wore the other's underwear!】

"Come on, Miss Lilia, you come beg Broly-san and them too."

"Young Master Rudeus..."

Preparing to leave home but dragged here, the maid Lilia was moved; she never expected Rudeus, whom she treated as a freak, would go this far for her, and knelt down as well.

With things said to this extent, facing the request of Rudeus the little brother from previous loops, Broly and his three wives exchanged a glance and agreed to take Lilia in.

Although the house already has convenient water elemental servants, adding a human maid isn't a big problem either.

And with the living expenses Orsted provides each loop, even if Broly lays flat, it's enough to support a huge household.
