Chapter 275: 275 - Warnings and Affection
Hey Daddy! It’s me again, your wonderful little elf daughter!
Well, at first, older you said that this part wasn’t necessary, and that you already had all the information you need to make your decisions.
Partly, that’s true, but you thought your logic would be a little cold and distant from the events, since you didn’t live these things personally.
There are also some small, minor but relevant pieces of information here.
I asked for opinions and suggestions from many people, so please take everything into consideration with care, because I wrote it all with a lot of love and always thinking about what would be best for our family. Well, here we go.
-
Mana training for babies. We know you’re wondering at what age it would be good to start training your children’s mana, and we have the answer here!
For children who do not inherit the Laplace Factor, the ideal is to start between two and three years of age. In that range, the body and mind are already ready to handle the first mana flows more stably, without major risks.
For those who inherit the Laplace Factor, they can begin using mana from one year of age and will not have complications, because their constitution will naturally be more resistant and adapted to mana.
Another special exception is your first daughter with Verdia Solarion—me! You can start my mana training at just six months.
If everything goes normally, I will be born with a quite special constitution, even among the strange ones, and I will be able to handle mana earlier than anyone else.
But don’t forget that being able to use mana does not mean being able to control it.
So, it’s worth being extremely cautious when teaching mana use to babies; it is recommended to teach a support-type magic.
-
Establish a relationship with Doomsday early on.
In our Timeline, you didn’t even know she was a sentient weapon, so it was only when she began to show instability that you worried about it.
Anyway, you still managed to master her eventually, but not before going through several complications, so it would be more effective to deal with her from the start.
She is a sentient weapon that longs for destruction; don’t expect her to decide on her own what is best for herself—decide for her!
-
We already mentioned this in the timeline section, but it’s important to reinforce. Geese is an apostle of the God-Man, and he is really a slightly psychopathic fanatic, but that doesn’t make him any less dangerous.
The things Geese accomplished in our life caused us enormous problems, even more than some truly powerful enemies.
He is manipulative, intelligent, and knows how to exploit the weak points that Hitogami points out.
Even knowing about him, do not underestimate him.
-
Speaking a bit about Time Magic, as you already know, meddling with time is very dangerous.
We know that, with your caution regarding Orsted, you will still try to research Time Magic earlier, but be sure to keep that knowledge restricted only to the most trusted people around you.
-
Another thing about your children, which mom asked me to write, is that you must be extremely cautious about fights between them.
You might think that, being so strong, you would naturally be prepared to raise superhuman children, but the reality is that no one is completely ready for that.
On many occasions, even in childhood, the lightest conflicts could become very serious.
Some of your children were born blessed with exceptional talents and powers from an early age, while others developed more slowly.
There were situations where simple children’s quarrels almost resulted in tragedies, with one of my brothers coming close to death.
Even throughout adulthood, some of those childhood grudges were never resolved and remained irreconcilable.
So, always be alert and do not underestimate the chaos that can happen when you gather a group of super-strong children and use Magic.

About Rudeus Greyrat, I know the immediate idea is to eliminate him as soon as possible.
However, we advise you not to do that for now, and there are several reasons for this.
Three of them are especially relevant: first, he will be your best ally against Orsted — not because Rudeus will fight the Dragon God directly, but because he will serve as the perfect decoy.
If Orsted discovers that you are aware of the loops, he will most likely not hesitate to eliminate you immediately, to cut any possible risk.
Having Rudeus alive draws the Dragon God’s attention to him, which gives you room to maneuver.
In our time, Orsted made Rudeus his subordinate and maintained that partnership for almost the entire lifespan of the Mage God.
If Rudeus no longer exists, Orsted’s gaze may turn to the Kingdom of Gaia much earlier.
The second reason is Rudeus’s own Destiny. Since he has a Destiny as strong as yours, that makes him an almost impossible target to eliminate without perfect circumstances.
Right now, you already have too many problems to deal with.
And the third reason, perhaps the most important of all, is that Rudeus’s descendants will be vital in the future in various ways.
One of them is a mage extremely versed in Divination Magic, another will be a renowned Alchemist, and there was even one who became one of the Seven Great Powers during his life.
Among them are people very close to us. My best friend, for example, is Roxy Greyrat’s eldest daughter, and even my future fiancé is one of Rudeus’s future grandsons.
Of course, this is just our opinion; in the end, the decision is yours.
-
This is a bit strange, but try to remain hostile to the Dragon God without opposing him directly.
You don’t need to contain your murderous impulse or suppress your rancor, especially since that hatred toward him was precisely what stopped him from trying to recruit you in the first place.
It worked in your favor, and maybe the best thing is to keep things exactly like that.
-
If possible, try to gather information about the objectives of the Technique God. He is incredibly mysterious and dangerous, more dangerous than the Fighter God in many respects.
His strength is also a factor; we believe that, in terms of pure ability, he is on the same level — or very close — to Orsted.
But the real problem is that we only came to know of his existence when he appeared before us.
His motives for hostility never became clear, not even after his death, which only reinforces the mystery and the danger around him. Be cautious.
-
About the Fighter God’s Armor, it is at the bottom of the Devil’s Cave Labyrinth.
However, the current you is not in a position to conquer that labyrinth.
At this point in the timeline, Badigadi should already be there, or is about to arrive.
Guided by the God-Man’s advice, he will have much more ease traversing the floors. Therefore, it’s too late to think about stealing it before him.
Inevitably, you will have to face him. As already mentioned in the Timeline, at that time you fought him for several days with no clear conclusion, and only managed to win by a narrow margin.
The Fighter God Badigadi is overwhelmingly strong, and under the armor’s mind control, he will kill you without a shadow of a doubt if he wins the fight.
With the Sköllvindr, your chances increase considerably, but that does not replace training.
On the contrary, you need to dedicate yourself even more, because the course of events has already been very distorted from that point. Be prepared.

This part of the Guide was shorter compared to what came before, but these tips were far more useful to Rygar than anything else.
It was possible to see that there were several different opinions.
Some spoke about Rygar’s family.
Others were ideas, suggestions of magical items, techniques and experiments that could be attempted in the future.
And there were also notes about enemies and future events and how to deal with them.
By late afternoon, Rygar was already at the end of the Guide.
The last suggestion spoke about the war for the throne of Asura and suggested intervening discreetly to save the Water God, Reida Reia.
Curiously, nothing in the Guide mentioned taking sides or intervening in the Kingdom of Asura itself — much less in its government.
On the contrary, according to the accounts, under the reign of the future Queen Ariel, the Kingdom of Gaia would maintain relatively stable and even cordial relations with Asura.
Of course, Rygar knew he could simply go there and eliminate them all.
However, that went directly against Orsted’s plans.
In the end, he decided not to get involved. But he still had to think about the suggestion regarding his master of the Water God Style.
And then, finally, he read the last lines.
"This is the end of the Guide! Although you will probably consult it several times after this. In fact, it’s better to transcribe some parts into other scrolls and books... anyway, you’ll probably talk to the family now. Good luck, Daddy!"
Rygar took a deep breath, but he didn’t stop to contemplate the end. Before he could, he felt an approach.
He stood up at once, and the study door opened.
It was Aisha.
"Ah! Master!" she exclaimed with a spontaneous smile. "What are you doing hiding here?"
Rygar couldn’t help a slight smile at seeing the disciple’s animated face.
Her presence broke the monotony that had accumulated after hours of reading such dense subjects. It was like a breath of fresh air.
He pondered for a moment. The Celestial Sealing hid him from all Demon Eyes.
That meant that anyone who interacted directly with him also fell under that protection. Aisha, moreover, was perceptive enough not to go around saying unnecessary things.
He decided there was no problem.
"Ah, nothing much..." he said, with a distracted voice.
"I just received a visit from a daughter of mine from the future. It seems that we will be erased from reality because of a Space-Time Magic."
He spoke as if it were something routine and common.
He almost let a bigger smile slip, but restrained himself, keeping the tone casual. Then he turned and walked away calmly.
Aisha, however, remained frozen. Her mouth opened, and her eyes widened in shock.
"W-w-w... what?!" she stammered, astonished.
It was only when Rygar was already crossing the corridor that she regained her breath and ran after him.
"W-w-wait, Master! What do you mean?!"
Thus, together, they headed toward the family’s house.
As they walked, Rygar explained the main points of what he had discovered; of course, he kept many things to himself for now.
While he spoke he also reflected with himself.
Would he be able to create an improved version of the Celestial Sealing?
Aisha had mana at the God level and could learn the original Magic.
Rufus, with a mana conductor good enough, could also achieve it.
But all the others would still be susceptible to the God-Man’s Sight in his absence.
Not that this was so dangerous, since Leo was present, protecting them with an absurdly strong Destiny.
Even so, maybe this was something to try in the future, after the more urgent problems were resolved.
And they were not few.
Rygar felt clearly that everything in his life had taken a violent three-hundred-and-sixty-degree turn.
First he had to deal with the Sea Race.
While dealing with them, he had to rip out the Mana Heart of the One-Eyed Giant, Esterópes, to begin the construction of his new definitive armor.
Soon after, he would update the Kingdom’s magical systems.
And finally, turn entirely to improving his own strength, preparing for the inevitable confrontation against the Fighter God.
There was a lot to do.
