Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race Chapter 271 - Future Guide to All Things (2)

After finishing reading that passage, Rygar slowly closed the book for a moment.
A discomfort grew in his chest, a bitter and unpleasant feeling.
The future narrated by Oldgar seemed distant and cruel.
In the first part of the book, the elf daughter had explained that retreating further back in time was impossible. The reason was the limit of her mana.
According to her, at most she could send him back to the age of fifteen, maybe a little earlier, but not much beyond that.
They chose this specific point in Rygar’s life because it was the most convenient, and now he understood a little better why.
Reading about these events, it was clear that Oldgar had already made peace with the deaths of Kilian and Taes. For him, many years had passed and many things had happened.
But for the current Rygar, no.
In that present, Taes and Kilian were alive. They were only carrying out an investigative mission that, in theory, did not present any real risk of death.
They were two of his best friends. The idea of losing them so suddenly and senselessly was unpleasant.
Without wasting time, he picked up the small Magic Letter device and sent a message:
"Taes, stop the investigation and return immediately to the Kingdom of Gaia. We have new relevant priorities."
The reply came almost immediately:
"Alright, returning."
Rygar felt calmer reading the message. By preventing his friends from delving into the Sea Race Territory, it would be very difficult for them to encounter the same fate described in the book.
He could have simply waited for Taes’ message and then refused his request by telling them to return.
But that would have been dangerously unnecessary. As Oldgar mentioned, he was hidden from the God-Man’s eyes.
Who could guarantee that Hitogami would not decide to attack preventively, driven by anxiety or simple paranoia? It was better to call them back at once and resolve any variable.
Dying so randomly was not fitting for such formidable warriors.
Rygar then reflected on Oldgar’s warning.
This time, Hitogami simply wanted to test his strength.
If he was testing, it meant he had caution. It meant that even now he considered him a real threat.
As far as he knew, his family would wage a war against Hitogami that would last decades.
And yet, the God-Man would not have achieved victory, even seeing every step of the enemy. How did that happen? How had his future self achieved that feat?
The answers, perhaps, lay in the next pages.
With that thought, Rygar resumed reading.
His records contained several accounts, conflicts and alliances. Oldgar had other children over time, but did not mention their names.
And then, Rygar reached a particularly striking passage.

While reading about this, Rygar became lost in thought. In almost three years’ time... he already had Doomsday, and he probably had already completed the Armor he had in mind.
His strength should not have stagnated during training, or Oldgar would have mentioned it.
So he continued getting stronger, developing Gravity Magic. And even so, he was not even able to pose a threat to Orsted.
Once again he realized how far he was from the strength he needed to reach.
