yeah i think Arcadios want the plan to go through for his own reasons. Hes supposedly working for Zeref, so im guessing hes going back in time to make him stronger, or something like that. I sort of wish FT didn't add Time Travel into the story though. Its pretty cliche, and theres always so many loopholes that the story ends up not making sense. We'll see how this goes though.
