Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race Chapter 269 - Celestial Sealing

Everything happened so fast that, even with the Fragmented Reflection Eye accelerating his perception of time, Rygar still couldn’t calculate all the changes that were happening in his life.

His own Sixth Sense seemed confused, not giving him a clear direction.

He knew that any step taken from now on would invariably change Destiny on unpredictable scales.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was hide from Hitogami’s Divine Sight.

It was impossible even to think about reading the book or performing any other action safely without first protecting himself from that incessant gaze.

So, Rygar opened the book in his hands.

On the simple black cover was the title: Future Guide for All Things.

On the first page, even before the main content, there was a warning in striking, incisive letters. The handwriting was clearly his own:

Rygar couldn’t help an irritated sigh — the first thing his future self did was curse at him?

It was strange to read something like that coming from himself. His eyes continued to scan the page until he found the next instruction:

He looked at the enormous incantation that followed; it seemed to be a little over two whole pages of incantation, the longest he had ever learned.

Without hesitation, Rygar took a deep breath, gathered his mana, and began to chant the spell.

"Eternal veils that cover the truth from insolent eyes! I come to the stars, judges of the infinite night; I call to the secret chains that run beneath time....

....

....that rest upon the untouchable heavens! May no flame, no star, no divine or demonic eye dare to pierce this impenetrable barrier!

Celestial Sealing!"

As soon as he uttered the last words, the air around Rygar trembled. He had actually managed to activate it on the first try.

His mana was drained at high speed; even among God-level Magics, this one seemed to demand a lot in terms of mana.

An invisible pressure arose, as if reality itself were being stitched around him.

The raindrops that were falling ceased to touch him for a moment, subtly diverting, as if they did not dare come near.

For a single moment, it was as if he had been removed from the world’s perception; he only felt such a sensation when he tried to see Badigadi with his Demonic Eyes for the first time.

Rygar felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the infinite changes and complexities of the magic. This was, without doubt, a magic worthy of the God-level title.

And then, everything returned to normal. He didn’t feel particularly different.

They say that Magics of that level have effects capable of shaping eras and creating cataclysms that resonate for generations.

But this was a utility Magic, so the comparison didn’t make much sense — perhaps at least that was necessary to escape the All-Seeing Eyes.

After confirming the activation, he read the next passage.

Even with this small drawback, Rygar was very satisfied. He had been trying to rid himself of that malicious god’s gaze since the first time he saw him in the Dwarf Territory.

On that occasion, when Hitogami invaded his dreams for the first time, his sharpened senses promptly warned him of the hostility. He had never felt such malice in anyone during his life, and all of it directed at him.

Even with that disguise, that mask he wore — Rygar still felt only a hostile presence in front of him.

But stopping his gaze proved more complex than expected.

Blocking mental invasions was relatively simpler, but blocking the Divine Sight of a God, capable of seeing the future and perceiving the entire world, was infinitely more complicated.

Still, his future self seemed to have succeeded eventually. And, as expected, had left that knowledge prepared for him now.

For the first time, Rygar felt free from Hitogami’s constant gaze; it was as if an invisible weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

He felt more confident for no longer being exposed to the Divine Sight, but decided to remain alert.

After all, his future self had made a point of calling him arrogant and stupid — he probably knew better about that than the Rygar of now.

After all, it was someone who knew his flaws, someone who had already lived all the consequences of his future choices.

So, he would follow the advice and try to be less arrogant; humility is the way! As for being stupid... well, there really wasn’t much he could do about that.

If he was right, at this very moment Hitogami himself should be in shock.

Despite being able to see the future, his Sight clearly had limits — from not being able to see Orsted to not knowing about the Dragon God’s Time Loops.

Until five minutes ago, Rygar was little more than a relevant pawn, trapped under Hitogami’s constant gaze and ignorant of Orsted’s secrets. He probably didn’t even come close to qualifying as a true threat.

But now, the situation was different.

Without Hitogami’s gaze upon him, and knowing Orsted’s secret, even not yet strong enough, he was a threat.

Only, before acting, he needed to understand.

He needed to assess his position clearly, discover which problems lurked.

His future daughter said that Hitogami had brought them numerous tragedies and calamities.

Of course, if she didn’t mention them specifically, then it was likely that they had survived most adversities.

The biggest problem that made his future self want to interfere with Time was, in the end, Orsted’s Time Loop, which would erase them from reality.

But Rygar was sure the path to that point hadn’t been as easy as she made it seem.

It was probably precisely that path that led to the final result of despair. Therefore, he had to delve into this Guide and understand everything he could for now.

He couldn’t repeat the same mistakes if he could change them.

In an instant, he shot through the rainy forest, leaping through the branches with his usual speed.

He still wouldn’t reveal anything until he was absolutely certain of what was happening.

If his future self chose "this" moment to send someone from the future, then surely something was about to happen — something he wanted to change for some reason.

Rygar ran to the Combat Temple and then entered the Magic Tower. He went straight to one of its research rooms and sat calmly at the table.

Breathing deeply, he opened the book to the page where the real content began, just after the magic’s incantation.

He didn’t recognize the handwriting, but soon understood why: the book began being written by someone else.

---

Rygar paused his reading for a moment. The idea of lives condemned even before being born bothered him a little.

Didn’t that naturally condemn the existence of someone with a Weak Destiny? Was that person basically destined to never accomplish anything special?

But, breathing deeply, he resumed reading.

The mention of Rudeus Greyrat made Rygar sit up straight in his chair. Until now, he had treated Rudeus as a secondary character, a little dangerous, an annoying presence, but not central.

The text continued:

Rygar closed his eyes for a moment while reflecting.

Rudeus’s name had appeared many times, even if it was only to use him as an example. If he had a Destiny so strong, it was unlikely that he would be irrelevant.

According to what was mentioned at the beginning of the text, then it could only be supposed that there were many ’things’ related to him that needed to be changed.

He let out a long sigh. The book already contained many surprises, and it was only the beginning.
