Chapter 675 - Recap and Info (1/2)

The purpose of this chapter is to explain a few things and tell some lore to get more knowledge about the multiverse and so on.

…

Astria: The name of the last living Titan, which took the form of a world and was hidden in an abandoned area somewhere in the System Universe by none other than the Joker.

In this existing timeline (the present), there are two Astria. One was brought from the future using the elven time scroll obtained by Zodiak in the past and used by Yamak in the future (with the help of the Water Region Ruler, also known as Shen Shen).

The future Astria is the one Arthur got reincarnated in and where most of the beginning of the story unfolds. The current Astra is also in the System Universe and was visited by the future Arthur, the Joker, Lolitta, and Yamak.

When the Divine Beasts struck almost all the worlds, stars, and planets in the Cloud Sea Universe and the System Universe, the two Astria were attacked and the present one had it easier than the future one, which Arthur protected. This explains why Arthur heard of the catastrophe back in the past.

Basically… Catastrophe hits Astria then ten thousand years pass and we're in the future, where there's the Eighteen Region. That Astria got sent back in time, which is why its people speak of the past catastrophe, which happened some time after Arthur's reincarnation. Also, most of the people of Astria are from the future and that includes, Jackob, Robin, Anastassia, Sonia, etc…

Lucy had special circ.u.mstances and was thrown to the future Astria (which exists in the present) due to an incident so she doesn't exist in the future.

Eighteen Regions, A peek ten thousand years later.

The eighteen regions were created a bit more than ten thousand years after Arthur's first reincarnation. Little is known about their locations and rulers.

Shen Shen rules the Water Region. Anastassia Rules the Death Region and is also still Death itself.

****

At the end of Volume 11, Arthur conjured two clones identical to him in stats and skills. While he went with Lucy to retrieve the Dark Blade, Makaze, one of the clones went to the Heaven and Hell Universe to break out Radolf and Midolf then reach the Garden of Words while the remaining clone, accompanied by Astrith, went back to Astria

The A.d.u.l.t Tree activated the oath and urgently called him back as the Angels were preparing to attack Astria in order to get the Tree and revive 'God'.

In Volume 12, Arthur's clone successfully reached the Garden of Words and asked three questions. He ended up learning that Shen Shen, the girl he met in his travels was actually his biological daughter, whom he had thought she died when the pregnant Lucy perished right after leaving Riarravar.

Zaarae unknowingly went back to her realm, where the war between the Parasites and the Cthulhu was getting bloody and much worse. Despite her desire to accompany the man she loves, the Empress was forced to stay in her territory and manage things before her kin is slaughtered.

The Black Devil, Timos, along with Vyncent, also jumped into a mysterious pit, the same one Zaarae used, and never returned.
