The scenes played by the scepter depicted the events that had occurred in the Fairy King's Forest. From the time Ban met Elaine, everyone witnessed the relationship's progress between the two. It could be said that Ban was persistently pursuing Elaine.
After the Red Demon appeared, King's expression visibly darkened. Now he understood—it wasn't Ban's doing. In fact, Ban had nearly lost his life trying to help Elaine.
Despite being able to drink from the Fountain of Youth herself, Elaine gave it to Ban because she had fallen in love with him, ultimately leading to her own demise.
These scenes made King realize that he had truly misunderstood Ban. it Ban wasn't responsible for Elaine's death or the destruction of the Fairy King's Forest.
On the contrary, Ban had risked his life for Elaine. Moreover, even if Ban hadn't been in the Fairy King's Forest at the time, the Red Demon would have still come, and Elaine might not have been able to obtain the Fountain of Youth without Ban's help.
In summary, King should be grateful to Ban instead of blaming him. On the contrary, it was King's own negligence that had led to the destruction of the Fairy King's Forest.
After all, he, the Fairy King, went out and wandered at that time, leaving the Fairy King's Forest unprotected.
He didn't dare to return to the new Fairy King's Forest out of guilt. Of course, the fairy in the Fairy King's Forest still recognized him as the Fairy King, because his actions were unintentional.
Additionally, the fairies willingly risked their lives for him, which showed his immaturity.
As the king, he should bear the consequences of any event. If he made a mistake, he should apologize. There was no shame in admitting one's faults, as it only indicated one's growth.
"Alright, we've finished watching. Does anyone have any other thoughts?"
Asahi retracted the images on the scepter, and asked calmly.
"I…I was wrong. I blamed him wrongly. When he returns, I will apologize to him."
King admitted with a hint of shame. He truly felt embarrassed and regretful for his actions.
"It's not just that. Let me ask you this: Are you still the Fairy King? Do you still care about your responsibilities as the Fairy King? If you still consider yourself the Fairy King, then find time to visit the new Fairy King's Forest."
"Of course, if you don't think of yourself as this king anymore, then forget what I just said. Although you are ashamed, responsibility is not… something a mere shame can offset!"
After dropping these words, Asahi didn't say anything more. Although King might understand if he said it directly, it's better to let him think about it by himself.
At this moment, Jin has completely fallen into it. During the meditation, his face is constantly changing, I don't know what I am King was deeply engrossed in thought, his facial expressions changing continuously, indicating his inner turmoil. He was surely grappling with conflicting emotions.
"Such a unique scepter. What material is it made of?"
At this moment, Marlin indifferent to the emotional tension in the room, focused on the scepter in Asahi's hand. She was intrigued by how the scepter could project past events and why she couldn't discern its essence or material.
"Yeah, Asahi, why can this scepter project those images? Did you witness those events firsthand?"
Diane and the others were equally curious, even King himself turned his gaze towards Asahi.
"This scepter is the most powerful treasure in my possession. Although I haven't personally witnessed those events, it can record all the things this world has experienced. You can think of this scepter as… the world's memory."
"All events in this world are recorded within it, even the birth of the Demon King."
As he said so, Asahi tapped the scepter, and an image of the Demon King's birth appeared on its surface.
It can be said that the terrifying aspect of this scepter lay in its omniscience.
Once he entered into this world, the scepter could directly analyze everything within it. Of course, there are conditions and premises. The premise is that the world must not exceed the scepter's limits. For example, in the Dragon Ball World, while the scepter could record everything within the universe, it couldn't record events involving Zeno or the Grand Priest.
This is the limit. However, the world of the Seven Deadly Sins clearly hasn't reached such limits yet. It's still far from it, so this scepter can easily project everything that has happened.
"The world's memory? That's truly incredible. It's essentially omniscient. It can be said that all the magic of this world is stored in it!"
Marlene's eyes gleamed with greed. Since everything could be known, it meant that all magical knowledge and more were stored within it. This was truly desirable.
In short…she is very greedy for this scepter now, but she understood that the scepter belonged to Asahi, not her.
"What an amazing scepter. Wait… is there any… secret method for resurrecting people?"
Suddenly, King's expression changed. Just because they didn't know didn't mean it didn't exist. And if it did, it would be terrific.
"You're quite clever. Such a thing does exist, but with your current abilities, you can't achieve it!"
Asahi shook his head. To achieve such a feat, one needed the power of the Demon King or the Supreme Deity.
After all, the Demon King or the Supreme Deity can make people continue to reincarnate and be immortal. Even that one in Ten Commandments… can do it, let alone these people.
"Can resurrection really be done? What level of strength is needed for that?"
King was eager, and his breath quickening.
"Under the premise of no special magic, only those at the level of the Demon King or the Supreme Deity can achieve it. Otherwise, you'll need other methods. There are many other methods, but they all come with conditions and sacrifices. In short, it's not simple!"
Asahi explained. The resurrection is indeed possible, but besides the methods mentioned in the original story, there are other methods recorded in the scepter. However, not all of them were effective, and some required sacrifices that they might not be able to bear.
The price paid by some secret methods is too much to afford, and life-for-life is already very light.
"The strength of a Demon King? How is that possible?"
As a Fairy King, King doesn't know how strong the Demon King was. But considering that it was an entity that sparked the war in the past, it couldn't be that simple. Right now, he was only on par with the Red Demon, and he might not even be able to defeat the Gray Demon. How could he surpass the Demon King in such circumstances?
In short… he felt utterly speechless. Even so, he wouldn't give up so easily.
