A person from the future. 

Meruem stared at Julian with anger in his eyes.

"I had enough with you Clover Kingdom cunts!!

You did a good job coming directly to me so that I can get rid of you "

Swoosh!

Boom!

Meruem disappeared from his place and the next thing Julian knew he was planted on the wall of the prison wall with the dragon scales on his hands completely broken apart.

'OiOiOi! What's up with this insane speed !!

Neither my KI nor Mana zone could properly detect his movements. My head would have been blown off if not for Sharingan somewhat detecting his movements. '

"You will not get lucky next time"

Boom!

Lightning surged through Julian's body as slashed his dagger forward as it was met with Meruem's white mana pressure-clad fists.

Julian felt the bones in his hands cracking just from the contact.

Julian released a blast of lightning from his body creating from a distance and slashed his daggers sending a dragon made of fire at Meruem.

Meruem who was unharmed from the earlier attack, punched the dragon completely destroying it.

'Normal spells can't put a scratch on him, I need to use that'

[Foribidden magic: ability boost]

[Dark Flame Magic: Dragon Dive ]

Instantly hundreds of small blades formed around Julian's hands as he disappeared from his place.

Meruem felt a threat from that attack and punched forwards with all his might.

But instead of their attack hitting, both of them stopped in their tracks as if frozen in time as an orb of mana surrounded them.

"That attack blew my hand off till my shoulder and took a long time to grow one back and this bastard was still able to move….

Muscle head bastard.."

The space between them rippled as a person stepped out of it.

The person was around the age of nineteen and wore the robe that of a captain of Black Bulls.

The most striking feature of the person was his two purple eyes with a complex pattern from which blood flowed.

His body had various cuts from which blood flowed too with no signs of stopping.

At one glance, it could be said that the person exactly looks like the grown-up version of Julian but something was different.

The seemingly cheerful face that Julian now has was replaced with a face that felt like didn't smile for years.

The grown-up Julian snapped his fingers as all the Diamond Mages present in a certain chamber exploded.

The next second Finral, Secre, and all the Clover Kingdom spies appeared near Julian locked in the time orb.

"Seems like we are just in time Kirin…we avoided Finral's death"

[Yeah, seems like all our work to achieve the perfect timeline is finally showing results.

In this timeline, you received your Sharingan on time and the seed of Origin was planted in your mind space on time.]

"In my timeline, I received the powers too late....

Just a little more and we can achieve the desired result…

Making all the changes and making precise changes behind the scenes was pretty exhausting so far…]

"I will take this over reality anytime…

It's lonely without everyone…..

There is no home for me to return to…only if I was stronger…"

Julian looked at Secre and halted his steps.

[Time is running out Julian, your body will collapse in a few seconds if we don't do something fast.

You have to hold yourself together]

"Just wait, I will save you too Secre"

He moved towards his younger self and called out his dagger which flew out of younger Julian's hand to his hands.

Julian engraved a seal on the dagger as the color of the dagger became brighter.

[Did you give it powers similar to Asta's swords?]

"Yes, I had spent some time looking into the mechanism of Asta's sword.

The Dwarven runes along with my sealing magic will give it properties of reflecting,absorb-emitting and dispelling spells.

Since Aquila Favonia is a soul weapon, those powers cannot manifest unless it absorbs enough soul power from me. "

Julian looked at his arms and saw that slowly they had started to break into fragments.

[You….are disappearing…..Julian]

"I know, this means that I will be losing in the future since my soul has started to break apart.

But I still have my last gamble"

Julian snapped his fingers and multiple Grimoires appeared in his hand. Two were of five leaves two of four leaves and two of three leaves.

"I managed to preserve Yami, William, Yuno, Asta, Lumiere, and Patry's Grimoires after their deaths.

These fragments should make the tree of origin within my mind space grow faster and increase the pace at which Aquila Favonia resonates with me.

Since all these belong to the attributes I require in the future, they should make me stronger."

[I don't think you will awaken anti-magic like this]

"This is a gable, Liebe's energy signs are still in the Grimoire.

After I awakened Rinnegan, all the magic attributes I had received explosive growth, even the magic attributes I didn't know I had.

Since anti-magic is the highest level of Yin magic, there is a chance I can awaken it to fight soul magic.

In order to fight Lucius, I need every single power that I can find.

If I fall and my Rinnegan reaches his hands, everything is over "

All of the Grimoires started to get broken into fragments and mix with younger Julian's Grimoire.

A multi-colored orb of mana appeared in Julian's fingers as it entered younger Julian's head.

Time seemed to have stopped everywhere as Julian and Kirin waited for the result to show.

Just as the Grimoires completely got absorbed into the four-leaf Clover Grimoire, the Clovers of the Grimoires started to rotate and turned into a black spiral-like pattern around it for a second before it turned back to four-leaf again.

A chuckle left Julian's mouth as he started to reverse time on his body.

Julian's body and eyes which were bleeding continuously stopped and began to heal.

[The Black Clover...]

"All those sufferings….all those deaths will have a meaning now.

Although it appeared for a second, our gamble turned out to be successful."

[I understood that you made sure that the Julian in front of you awakens time powers naturally but how did that stop you from disappearing?]

"Time and space magic is something that doesn't fall under either yin or yang magic….it was something that even the human God could not awaken.

Just like soul magic, the combination of Space-Time magic is another form of ultimate magic that cannot be awakened by people of this world.

Their effect is universal no matter if it is the past or future.

With me interfering, the younger me will gain stronger time powers so the current me will carry those powers."

[So that is why human God chose to reincarnate you….]

"Yes, an individual can awaken space or time magic at a time but they can only show their true power if they are mixed together.

This is what is giving me the ability to travel through time"

[ I was wondering, why can't we just kill Lucius right now or before the time we were stronger ?]

"You don't know because you were not with me that time.

This is because Lucius will be reborn again as his soul is connected to their world with a bond stronger than anything.

To actually kill him, we either need soul-magic or anti-magic which represent the highest level of yang and yin magic.

Lucius already has soul magic so we need to get the power of anti-magic.

And since I can activate the Black Clover in the future, all that is left is to face Lucius in the final confrontation.

And since I am still standing here, either I managed to kill him or the fight is still going on. ]

[So is it time to leave?]

"Yes, I can't leave everything to my future self, can I? But before that, I need to do some things."

[Ultimate Magic: Absolute Magic suppression seal]

Julian looked at Meruem as a formation of complex seals started to form on his body and disappeared soon.

"This is the highest level of suppression sealing magic that will make sure that he never uses magic again.

Even his mind cannot be read anymore by Morris.

All he will remember is that he lost to me….

Since he is not dying, Diamond Kingdom will not go to war."

[Yeah, you fucked up last time.

You lost control over your emotions after he killed Finral and turned him into ashes with abyssal flames. ]

"Yeah due to that, Diamond Kingdom went to war with Clover Kingdom and countless people died.

Although this bastard is a puppet, him being alive is still useful"

Julian canceled Meruem's time capsule as he fell down and fainted.

He looked at all the mages in the chamber including his younger self and implanted fake memories about the fight into them.

"Good luck champ because a lot of shit is about to happen from now on" Julian looked at his younger self as a portal opened in front of him.

Giving a last glance at Secre, Julian disappeared.

**********

A few days later:

"How is the situation, Morris?"

Alaina asked looking at Meruem lying on a stretcher with multiple wires attacked to his body.

"Although his vitals are completely stable and he can do daily activities, he cannot use mana anymore," Morris replied.

"I went through Meruem's memories…

There is a seal cast on Meruem which is the advanced version that was cast on you.

Unfortunately, I can't crack this seal" Morris said fixing his glasses.

"Since he is alive, we can't discard him yet…

Although his magic is gone, his presence is still useful.

Can't let him think that his authority is shaken or else he will make more idiotic decisions." Alaina said.

Alaina stopped for a few seconds and asked.

"So, how far have you reached in the research?"

"I wonder what you are talking about ~"

"Don't act smart Morris!

How far have you progressed in the super soldier experiment !?

You haven't given us any new successful creations except Mars and Ladros."Alaina said with a slight level of mana pressure added to her voice.

"The experiment is moving smoothly, you will receive your next batch of soldiers in a month."

"I hope that's true because you know what I will do to you if you lie "

"Yes, Yes I am aware "

Alaina didn't say much and left the lab.

Morris smirked seeing Alaina leave.

'Delusional woman…

She still thinks that she is in charge.

Whatever, she is none of my concern.'

Morris removed his glasses as black veins started to emerge from his eye sockets.

In front of him was the scene from the battle between Julian and Meruem.

For the first few seconds, it felt like Meruem was winning but the situation suddenly reversed.

Suddenly Julian started to use black flames burning through Meruem's defense.

Finally, Meruem fell down and fainted as a seal was cast upon him completely stopping his mana flow.

"The level of that he possesses is certainly more than any captain of the Clover Kingdom.

What do you think Lucifero ?"

Somewhere in the underworld, a figure opened his eyes and looked through the eyes of Morris.

As soon as she saw the red eyes and those black flames, his body froze as he felt fear emerge from deep within his soul.

"So this age is the perfect age after all.

A dark magic user human, a world tree magic user elven blood, a light magic user elf, and…..

a Ragnvindr in the flesh….."
