Jod was the perfect teacher in the field trip.
As he was able to create clones to ensure the safety of all students.
They ran into a few low class creatures.
For example, Jod had subdued a four armed goblin.
One of the students bonded with it. Greatly increasing their strength.
Whenever a student found a creature they wanted to bond with. Jod was subdue it, and have them form a contract with it.
Evolina had a great harvest. She bonded with a ghost and got the ability to warp the perception of a single target. They even ran into a beholder. Allowing her to attain a mind control innate ability.
Things were going quite well.
Then the group ran into a hydra.
Jod then demonstrated bonding with an S class monster.
Things went smoothly and everyone was quite impressed.
John couldn't help but ask.
"What about SS class creatures?"
"There are only a few of those in the world. They are extremely dangerous. We would have to be unlucky to run into one."
"I see."
John's spiritual sense could cover 10,000 meters.
He saw some creature in a cave that he had never seen before.
The creature was interesting. It had the body of a snake, the head of a male human, the head of a bull, and the head of a lion.
The human head was in the middle.
It was like a weird hydra.
John ran off in a 'random' direction away from the group.
Jod wasn't having it. He wouldn't allow a student to put themselves in danger!
Especially a rare SS class.
So he had the entire group chase after John.
But John was extremely fast. Even though he intentionally was running quite slow.
Once John reached the cave.
Jod had caught up to him, as well as the group of kids.
The mysterious creature poked its heads out of the cave.
Jod felt a shiver down his spine.
"No... it can't be."
John couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you afraid?"
Jod's eye twitched.
"You have killed us all! That's an SS class!"
"Okay? Can't you demonstrate bonding with it?"
"Me? Do you not realize what that is? It is beyond legendary. We call this type of creature god grade!"
"There aren't multiples of this creature..."
John's interest was piqued.
"What's it's name?"
"It is Aion! It can control time!"
John felt like his luck was extremely good.
He had no time manipulation abilities!
Surprisingly Aion spoke to the humans.
It seemed it had human level intellect.
"You all may leave."
Jod bowed and tried to hurry away from this monster.
"Except you!"
The creature pointed at John.
"Me?"
Jod spoke:
"We are sorry for offending you. You can have him. Thanks for letting us go."
"Wise decision..."
The group abandoned John!
Pride asked in the group chat if John needed help.
"No need!"
John wanted to know what Aion would do.
Once everyone was gone.
Drool started to leak out of a mouth of Aion.
"Your scent is amazing. The vitality in your blood. Your soul itself. What a wonderful treat! I am so lucky, that you have delivered yourself to me. I have been following you. To think you would run towards me on your own initiative."
"You've been following me?"
John was surprised.
He hadn't noticed this creature following him. Although he hadn't been using his spiritual sense constantly. It might have been out of range.
"You have become my meal."
John began to laugh.
"You are worthy to be my first creature. I wonder what innate ability I'll get from bonding with you."
"Bond with me? Are you insane? You are going to die."
John felt some wind blow past him as he began to rapidly age.
John felt thousands of years go by in an instant.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Aion then picked up his dried corpse and ate him.
"So good!"
He swallowed John...
Aion felt something wrong in his stomach.
It was as if something was destroying his organs...
He started to cough up blood.
As two hands punctured through his skin revealing an eye of John.
John then used flash and teleported outside of his stomach.
"Well, you caught me off guard. Time manipulation. How fascinating."
All of the damage done to Aion was reversed though.
He manipulated time reversing his state.
"You DARE!!!"
John felt millions of years pass as he turned into dust.
But then something weird was happening.
He was reversing the process!
Aion couldn't help but say.
"You can control time as well!?"
"Sure."
John lied.
An hourglass appeared in the air above the head of Aion.
It then flipped and time itself began to reverse.
Aion sat in a cave.
As John felt his presence through his spiritual sense.
He then rushed towards him as the group followed him.
John had no idea... this wasn't his first time fighting Aion.
John had a weakness he didn't even know about.
Time manipulation!
As John was running towards Aion.
His private consciousness unsynchronized for a second.
While this universe went back in time, the same could not be said for his universe.
He stopped running and stood in a daze for a few minutes.
His private consciousness stored in the Infinite Maze was immune to the loop of the universe!
Once it updated his public consciousness of this body. He realized he was in a loop of battle against Aion.
"How am I suppose to win this?"
John reached Aion, and a similar series of events happened.
The others were allowed to go, except for John.
John then spoke:
"Surrender now, and let me bond with you. I'll let you-"
John then found himself trapped in a white cube that was transparent.
"You are now trapped within time itself. Good luck getting out."
John tried to use flash, but it failed.
He tried to teleport using mental energy even with the world will consequence. But it failed.
He tried to go through the barrier using his nascent soul... but it once again failed.
John then spoke:
"Last warning... let me go, or else."
"You are sealed... what could you possibly do?"
John used his skeletal body in the Infinite Maze and pulled himself into his universe.
John then used his skeletal body to return to the chaos holder world.
"How did you escape?"
"Seals don't work on me. But how about you?"
John touched Aion.
Aion found themselves near a stronghold on a lifeless planet.
"Where am I?"
"You have offended someone you shouldn't have."
"Please... a mere mortal dares."
An hourglass appeared in the sky and then flipped.
But it then shattered.
"Impossible!? My abilities aren't working..."
"Yea, I control the rules of this world. Let us settle this like men."
A battle soon broke out
John was in his universe. So he was naturally able to use his mental magic without consequence.
'Dimensional Seal'.
He trapped Aion in a cube of blackholes.
"Submit, or be trapped forever."
"You fool!"
John found himself back with the group from college.
Right before they went on a field trip.
"The hell? How did he use his abilities in my universe?"
John then felt a shiver down his spine.
He had used his spiritual sense, two god grade creatures were rushing towards him.
"I have to use the bathroom!"
He hurriedly left the college and flew to a field.
This time, he saw a completely different creature.
It looked the same as Aion. But instead of a male head in the middle. It was that of a female.
"Who are you?"
"I am Ananke. Your defeat is inevitable."
"Be careful Ananke, this human is dangerous."
"His destiny is quite interesting!"
Aion conversed with Ananke.
John couldn't help but ask:
"Destiny? What is that?"
He vaguely remembered his friend talking about this.
Ananke then said:
"How are you able to keep your memories when the universe resets?"
John sneered.
"I was born this way."
"Are you guys going to surrender, or are you going to fight?"
Both of them laughed.
Ananke couldn't help it.
"You think you have any power here? You're a tasty treat, and nothing more."
"I don't care how legendary your future is, or how strong you are. With our combined powers of fate and time. You don't stand a chance."
John had used dimensional seal, a tier 8 spell before the universe was reset.
He still hadn't recovered his mental energy to use it again.
"It would seem... I am indeed in some deep shit."
John thought about running away.
But he didn't want to abandon this world.
There had to be a way to win, there always was one.
John unlocked his seals as he charged at Ananke causing the ground to split in two as he charged.
Aion then spoke:
"Don't let him touch you. He has a talent that lets him teleport to different worlds."
Right as John was about to touch Ananke.
He froze in place.
"What's the matter mortal? Can't handle being frozen in time?"
Aion laughed. His mood had drastically improved.
'Devil Transformation'.
It couldn't even activate.
It was useless, he still wasn't able to unfreeze himself.
John thought using the processing power of his private consciousness. As his public consciousness and even nascent soul were completely frozen and unable to react.
Ananke said in surprise.
"Somehow... he is still able to think. Even with his brain being completely stopped! What sort of talent is this? Those other SS classes, weren't nearly as impressive."
Aion spoke:
"He is just full of surprises, the question is. How do we kill him?"
Ananke began to go through his destiny.
"It seems... he is immortal. This also isn't his real body. If he even has one! This guy is a freak of nature!"
Each one of Ananke's heads blew up.
"How did you escape!?"
Aion couldn't help but scream.
"Simple. I created a formation in my soulverse and tampered with the effect bound to me. It was as simple as cracking the formations of the gods."
Aion tried to freeze John constantly as John charged at him.
But John broke through time as if it did nothing.
"You monster!"
Aion reversed the state of Ananke, bringing her back to life.
A white book floated above her head. As a white hourglass floated above Aion's head.
The pages began to flip as the sand began to fall.
John said:
"You can't escape!"
He used soul tracker on both of them.
As he found himself back at the college.
He could feel their locations.
"I have to take a shit."
He left to use the bathroom and flew out of the campus and into the wilderness.
He found not two god grade creatures this time. He instead found three!
"The fuck... are they multiplying?"
Nyx looked at John.
"This is the human giving you guys trouble?"
Nyx looked like an entity made of stars, in the shape of a women.
She waved her hands and John felt something contradictory.
In his mind.
He heard a single word.
"DEATH"
John then died.
Nyx shook her head in disappointment.
"He was too wea-"
John then stood up from the ground.
"That... isn't possible."
"Haven't you heard? Doing the possible is quite boring!"
Aion, Nyx, and Ananke started using their abilities on John.
He was instantly killed.
Had his memories erased.
Had his fate stolen.
Had his mortality tested.
But he always recovered!
The universe reset?
He would just find them again.
Each time, they would invite another god grade creature.
It was as if he was fighting literal gods.
Soon he was fighting four god grade creatures.
He was like an annoying splinter in their hands.
Four became five.
Five became six.
Six became seven.
Soon, John was hunting 14 god grade creatures at once.
He had never felt so much pressure. Not to mention all of their weird abilities.
This was on a different level then when he fought Jod.
He wanted to make all of these creatures his as a chaos holder.
Some could make him a slave to them by manipulating his heart.
He got around this by severing love from this phantom soul.
"Just who the hell is he!?"
John found himself banished to weird dimensions and thrown across the world.
He had his memories scrambled.
He had his senses taken away.
He was mind controlled.
But he recovered from everything.
He was unstoppable.
"All of you will become bonded to me in the end!"
At first, these mythical creatures laughed at such a promise.
Whenever John was winning. The universe would literally reset.
John relived the same day, over and over.
But his mentality had been tempered for hundreds of years.
He wasn't so easily willing to give up.
He also noticed something, that may be his key to winning.
Even when the universe was reset, the soul tracker on their souls remained. This meant that the changes to their soul carried over.
If you can't beat them fairly... mess with their souls!
John tried to use soul domain.
But the souls of these creatures were abnormal. It failed at first.
Soon a year passed.
John experienced this battle repeatedly.
Most of the creatures had no idea they had been fighting him for a year.
It was only Aion and Ananke that were aware.
Soon a decade passed.
John fought without holding back constantly. He felt as if he was comprehending something through this.
This was the perfect opportunity to comprehend laws! He was constantly attacked by them after all.
A decade slowly turned into a century.
Aion no longer had enough energy to rewind the universe anymore.
John sat above a mountain of corpses of SS class monsters.
He then spoke:
"What a shame... they all died."
John slowly moved his vision to Aion and Ananke.
"Do you two wish to die? Or do you wish to serve?"
Ananke gritted her teeth.
"I will never-"
Her heads exploded.
Aion looked on in shock, he didn't have the energy to reverse her state.
"What will it be, Aion?"
Aion had a deep frown on his human face.
He bowed.
"I submit!"
