There had originally only ever been one future.
But the Eclipse Gate, which could traverse time and space, had given people the power to change the future, resulting in multiple futures.
So, if the Eclipse that had caused all of this were destroyed, what kind of result would that produce?
The result would be that, using the point in time when Eclipse was destroyed as the dividing line, there would be two types of futures: futures where Eclipse existed and futures where it did not.
But Eclipse itself was the factor that allowed multiple futures to emerge.
If that factor disappeared, then the emergence of multiple futures would become impossible as well.
The futures of Future Lucy and Future Rogue contained Eclipse, which was why the two of them could come from the future to this era.
Once Eclipse was destroyed and the factor that created multiple futures vanished, a contradiction would arise between the possibility and impossibility of multiple futures.
Then, the two types of futures from before—those with Eclipse and those without—would clash with that contradiction again.
One contradiction after another, one conflict after another, would completely throw the timeline into chaos and could even cause the world itself to collapse.
However, the world would not simply stand by and ignore such a situation.
At the very least, Noah was certain that if this happened, the world would definitely repair itself and eliminate the contradiction completely.
Then, how could that contradiction be eliminated?
Very simply.
Eliminate every different future that had appeared because of the Eclipse Gate!
The so-called future consisted of things that had
