During the century, the entire multiverse was manipulated by Aion.
But John's universe existed independent of the wizard worlds multiverse. His universe had been ejected from the multiverse.
What did this mean? It meant for Deathless and everyone not in John's universe. No time had passed at all. But this also meant that a hundred years had passed for John's private consciousness. His source had aged by a century.
Luckily, there was nobody in the base in John's universe. Otherwise, they would've experienced a hundred years disconnected from the wizard world.
He had stepped into tier 9!
He was however still rank 3.
When John went to bond with Aion, something malicious happened.
Aion baptized John with his entire law of time.
John expected to be able to easily bond with Aion, and attain an innate ability.
But he had fallen into the trap of Aion!
His private consciousness's mental body found itself in a white void.
"Where am I? Who am I?"
There were hourglasses and ancient clocks all around.
Time froze across John's universe.
Time stopped for the wizard world's multiverse.
Everything stopped... but John remained conscious in a white void.
"I am..."
He wandered this realm of time for hundreds of years.
"Who am I?"
He repeated this millions of times
He began to murmur:
"Paradox?"
He shook his head confused.
"No."
"I am..."
A thousand years passed in this space.
John didn't remember his past history at all. This was incredibly serious.
"How am I still alive?"
His mind started to regain clarity.
"Immortal."
"Immortality..."
"Time..."
"I am... Immortal!"
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
John's life began to flash before his eyes.
"NO!"
"I WON'T BE TRAPPED HERE!"
John punched with his fist as reality started to crack where he attacked.
He saw a blue pyramid covered in runes on the other side.
"My source?"
John began to cry.
"MY SOURCE!"
John had regained his sense of self.
"Who am I?"
"I am John Destinatus!"
"What am I?"
"I am Immortal! I am Eternal! I am Deathless!"
John's mental body started to crack with the dimension.
John looked on.
"It isn't enough..."
Magic circles began to fill the time realm.
Millions of runes formed around John.
He began to tamper with the laws of this realm.
Time started to flow faster.
Thousands of years passed as he worked on his formation.
"It is... beautiful..."
He looked on at his life's work.
He then used his source to power the spell.
Mental magic.
His first tier 9 spell.
'Time Authority'.
The realm began to shake as the magic circles shattered...
The clocks broke and began to flow in reverse.
Everything broke down into a white mist.
John began to breathe in the mist.
He absorbed the entire realm.
Time resumed in his universe, and it resumed in the multiverse.
John found himself in the chaos holder world in the middle of bonding with Aion.
John felt as if a barrier had shattered for him.
He had fully comprehended a law. But his body wasn't replaced with a body of laws.
He felt a deep pain in his magic core.
He felt like he could break through to rank 4 at any moment.
His body wasn't the body of a rank 7 despite having full comprehension of a law.
But he had advanced in his cultivation.
The path towards a true immortal!
The Infinite Maze that was John's original soul had went through a qualitive change.
It would be impossible for him to lose himself in the future because of a law.
Aion was confused. How was he still conscious? He should of been completely overwhelmed by the law of time? It should of assimilated him!
John trapped Aion in his soulverse and disappeared.
He used his skeletal body to transport him.
He appeared in his universe.
Lightning began to strike him as he casually waved his hands deflecting it. He shook is hands with an extreme clarity in his eyes.
A door appeared in the sky of the lifeless planet.
It had a skull on it.
John flew up towards the door as he fought against the heavens.
He then hit the door, barely cracking it open slightly.
On the other side he saw a chaotic space of runes.
There was text on the other side switching colors constantly.
"The path towards becoming a true immortal?"
He put his hands in the crack and pulled with all his strength to try to open the door.
But it wasn't enough!
"Seven Seals! OPEN!"
It wasn't budging at all.
"DEVIL TRANSFORMATION!"
It was moving slightly.
He then blessed himself with his universe boosting his power thousands of times.
He ripped the door open and looked at the other side.
The other side was completely submerged in laws.
John felt danger. But he wasn't someone to retreat in the face of danger.
John jumped into the laws as his body began to transform.
He felt a burning sensation in his body as he was vaporized and reformed.
Not using his immortality at all. He allowed his body to get destroyed and rebuilt.
John felt a deep connection with the laws of his universe.
The pain was exponentially increasing. He felt if he passed out, he would fail and lose this body. He had worked hard on this body and didn't wish to lose it.
He used all of his willpower to withstand such an uncomfortable feeling.
His mental energy was completely drained from him using 'Time Authority'.
He began to construct a passive rank 4 spell.
He called this spell 'Space Authority'.
It allowed him to 'walk' through space itself.
He broke through to rank 4 while breaking through to a true immortal!
His mana capacity increased by ten times.
John thought he was alone. But right as he started to feel comfortable in this space of laws. He felt the gaze of rank 9 beings on him.
He felt extreme pressure, and knew he needed to leave, right now!
He walked through space and appeared back in the chaos holder world.
His body was rank 4.
His cultivation was true immortal.
His mental system was tier 9.
He also now had a body of laws.
It wasn't a single law either. It was a mix of space and time.
He also had a tier 9 spell that was capable of manipulating time.
He also had an innate time manipulation ability from bonding with Aion.
Allowing him to reverse time or speed up time for a target.
John casually spoke to himself.
"The harvest this time isn't too bad."
