Reversing Everything

"Now?" Ichigo frowned as he looked at Tsuna, who was, in a way, harming the enemy. Tsuna's cold, expressionless manner as he launched his attack frightened even Ichigo.

"How about we wait until Tsuna his anger?" Ichigo forced an awkward smile; he was hesitant to disturb Tsuna at this moment.

"Captain Wolfgang, just say what's on your mind," Uryū advised.

Wolfgang didn't hide anything and directly told everyone his purpose, "Almost everyone in London is dead, including Sawada-sensei's family and the two captains of the East Bureau. That's why Sawada-sensei is in this state."

Despite having suspected it beforehand, receiving the truth from Wolfgang left everyone, including Hirako. Even Toshiro and Byakuya were dead; how many could possibly survive?

"Orihime, where 'Orihime?" Ichigo asked hurriedly, grabbing Wolfgang's shoulders. He completely understood Tsuna's current situation; if Orihime Inoue were also dead, he would probably go crazy too.

"Miss Inoue survived, and she is weeping while holding the remains of Sawada-sensei's parents."

Wolfgang's words eased Ichigo's mind a little, but he was still in a bad mood. Ever since Masa was rescued, the Kurosaki Residence and Sawada had become very close, and Ichigo had often regarded the Sawada couple as his parents when Ichigo was young.

"So your purpose in looking for Tsuna is related to those who died?" Compared to Ichigo and Tatsuki, Uryū was relatively calm.

"That's right, I'm confident I can save the people of London..."

"What!!!" Wolfgang's half-sentence stunned everyone, even Hirako, who was sitting on the ground, gathered around.

"But the key lies with Tsuna, so I need his answer." Wolfgang opened his palm, revealing a somewhat worn metal pocket watch.

"I understand, I'll go call Tsuna back right now." Ichigo picked up his Zanpakuto and prepared to rush towards the location where Tsuna and Satan were.

"Ichigo, stop! If you rush over there rashly, you might accidentally hurt Tsuna." Uryū called out to Ichigo, drew his Spirit Bow, and fired an arrow in Tsuna's direction.

Sure enough, unlike before when he called out to Tsuna, the arrow flashing past Tsuna's Tsuna also caught his attention.

Tsuna turned around and looked in the direction the arrow had come from, and saw Ichigo and Tatsuki waving vigorously at him.

A black hole appeared in front of Ichigo, Tsuna walked out of it, his eyes still cold and numb. He only glanced at Ichigo as if to ask a question.

Before Ichigo and the others could speak, Satan saw Tsuna leave and immediately began to struggle frantically. The Chains creaked and trembled as it struggled to break free, hoping to escape from London.

Tsuna merely glanced coldly in Satan's direction, and a huge wormhole appeared above Satan. A massive Chains shot out from it, piercing through Satan's body and pinning him firmly to the ground.

Still silent, Tsuna looked at Ichigo again, signaling Ichigo to continue.

"Tsuna, Captain Wolfgang said he can save all of London..."

No longer in the mood to listen to Ichigo's next words, Tsuna's usually stagnant pupils flickered, and for the first time since his battle with Satan, his face showed emotion. He asked with a hint of doubt.

"How do we do it?"

Wolfgang raised his palm and opened the somewhat old pocket watch inside. The hour hand was at 6 and the minute hand was at 12. There was no second hand, and the watch showed no signs of turning.

"As you know, my magic is time magic. I am a follower of the God of Time. By using this artifact, I can unleash the mysteries of magic and manipulate time!"

"The price?" Tsuna didn't immediately show a smile like the others. Such an incredible ability must come with a price that ordinary people couldn't bear.

"One-quarter of my soul." Wolfgang showed no fear. "I will use one-quarter of my soul to turn back time to before Satan destroyed London. So, Sawada-sensei, please tell me, without this black flame, can you slay Satan?"

Ichigo interjected, "Since we're going to use souls, why not turn back time a little? We definitely won't let Satan leave that town!"

In Ichigo's view, Satan's appearance was also due to his mistake. The All-Things Exterminator did not kill Satan, which led to his appearance in London. If it happened again, they would definitely not let Satan leave the Shadow Town.

"Kurosaki, Captain Wolfgang probably has his reasons, right?" Uryū didn't think the so-called magic to reverse time was that powerful.

"You're right." Wolfgang gave a wry smile. "The more time you reverse, the more souls you need. A quarter of that is the price I paid for communicating with my faith."

"As for why I didn't try to reverse things further, it's not that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't."

"In the process of the world being reversed, everything will return to its corresponding point in time, including your strength and consciousness. This is the meaning behind my need for Sawada-sensei's answer, because before you lost your parents, you had not yet obtained the power of this black flame!"

Tsuna Night Flame in his palm. Although he didn't possess it for very long, he could clearly feel the power of this flame. However, compared to his parents and all the people in London, this power was insignificant.

With a backhand motion, Tsuna extinguished the Night Flame in his palm, which served as an answer to Wolfgang: he would relinquish this power.

Seeing this, Wolfgang continued, "Similarly, everyone at that time would have their minds stuck at that point. In the entire time-reversal magic, I was the only one who knew what would happen, and the only one who could change the future."

"If we go back to earlier times, not to mention contacting you, by the time I explain Satan's existence to you, Satan will probably have already launched an attack on London. The success of this plan depends entirely on our understanding. I don't think I can persuade you immediately."

"That's pointless!" Ichigo asked, frowning. "Back in that timeline, you alone couldn't have killed Satan, could you? I remember Tsuna was already pushing himself to the limit back then; he couldn't have gone any faster!"

As long as he's not personally involved in the battle, Ichigo's mind works exceptionally well.

"It's the remaining 1/4, right?" Tsuna suddenly asked. Wolfgang's pocket watch had clearly run halfway, and he could only use the remaining 1/4 of its power.

"I couldn't hide it from you, Sawada-sensei." Wolfgang looked at the photograph on the pocket watch cover with reminiscence in his eyes. It was a picture of London, his beloved London.

"I will wager my remaining soul to do everything in my power to block Satan's time, and I will definitely be able to hold out until Sawada-sensei arrives!" Wolfgang's eyes were filled with fearlessness; exchanging his life for London's new life was a worthwhile exchange.

"Wait, does that mean Captain Wolfgang will die?" Ichigo still couldn't quite accept the idea of sacrificing one life for the sake of the majority.

"Ichigo, if you could save the lives of millions of people in Karakura Town with your own, what would you do?"

"Of course..."

The moment Ichigo heard Tsuna's question, Ichigo already had the answer. It wasn't that he didn't know what to choose, but this was London, and the sense of immersion for him was far less than in Karakura Town.

"Now that the decision has been made, let's begin, Captain Wolfgang." Without any sorrowful words of comfort or the pain of parting, Tsuna simply left a promise, "I will get to London at full speed!"

"I beg you, Sawada-sensei!" After bowing deeply, Wolfgang held up his pocket watch, placed his right fist over his heart, and devoutly said, "Honorable Chronos, the god of time, I am your devout follower..."

As Wolfgang chanted more and more words, his body began to radiate a magical dark golden glow, which coalesced behind him into a giant clockwork pattern.

Immediately afterwards, Wolfgang began to age rapidly. Wrinkles quickly appeared on his body, and he began to hunch over. He, who had once looked like a handsome old man, looked even older than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Threads of Reishi were drawn from his body and injected into the clock. The hour hand, which had been pointing to six, began to slide rapidly toward nine. The price for activating the magic had been paid. Time Reversal Magic, activated!

Ichigo and the others quickly felt their bodies begin to spiral out of control, retreating step by step along the path he had previously taken, back to their original positions.

Just as Ichigo was about to experience this magical feeling, he suddenly realized that he couldn't remember anything. He couldn't remember why he was there or what he wanted to do. His thoughts were reversing along with his actions. He would remember nothing until he returned to the outskirts of London, to that point in time when he was rushing to get there.

It wasn't just Ichigo; everyone was experiencing this process of time reversal. They clearly gained some insights, yet suddenly forgot them. Just as Wolfgang said, he was the only one who changed within that unchanging point in time.

Influenced by Wolfgang's magic, the entire city is rapidly changing. Purple flames are ignited and extinguished once more, and places burned to ashes are rebuilt. Everything is being reshaped, albeit in a dilapidated London.

When the flames subsided, the terrified people and the ferocious Dark Dragon reappeared. Everything returned to normal, and nothing had changed. Even the evil dragon Satan recovered from his injuries and returned to the moment when he was harassed by Hirako.

Of all these, the only one who changed was Wolfgang, who grew much older as his soul passed away.

However, this is not absolute.

In Tsuna's inner world, the trio were intently observing this magnificent scene of time reversal.

"The God of Time? Vongola, do you think there are really other gods in this world?" Byakuran asked curiously, watching Wolfgang's chant.

"The supreme being in this world is indeed the Soul King. I suspect that his so-called divine sacrifice is nothing more than a way of forcibly transforming his soul into special Reishi through some means of faith. He used this special magic to manipulate time," the Decimo said.

"Your focus is a bit off, isn't it?" Kuri Enma bewildered. "Why are we still discussing this magic that reverses time when time is clearly flowing backwards?"

According to Wolfgang's theory, they should have forgotten what's happening now, so how come they're still honestly discussing time magic and the God of Time?

It felt as if everyone else's time was flowing backwards, while theirs was still flowing normally!
