3. The timewarp stories

In no certain term I told them

"You really should just lay down and die already."

Even though I'm surrounded by pissed off people, I'm sure they won't be able to take a few step without triggering Lilith. I don't ping Lilith's ability sense while they do, logically, they are in more danger here than me. In the first place they shouldn't have come here, but since they already come, they might as well accept death, it will be that easier for them.

However, ignoring my sincere comment, the goth chick with the power to travel through time signal her friend to stop. She walks over to where I was reading my newspaper.

And then she punched me in my cracked ribs

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Shit. It hurtttttssssssssssss

"You deserve that."

The crazy goth chick told me.

Of course, there is one problem with me relying on Lilith coming to finish her business. Lilith will only come when somebody use their ability. That means everyone can very well do this.

Punch me rapidly of course.

But to be honest, I have been through worse, the only thing that cause was some sting here and there. But she keeps poking me.

"Ow ow ow. Stop it alright? What do you want?"

"I want to know how to escape HER"

The goth chick says to the confusion of her friend. You don't really escape Lilith though, not really. I look around at the small ragtag group. They aren't toptier material, the best thing they could amount to in my old world is some kind of local group, not even world material. Yep, if they was in my old world, if they go abroad, they will surely be consumed by the countless Ability Holder conglomerates and have the goth chick with the nice time power taken away to another team. In the whole group, I only see potential in that time power. The person is not even that important, anyone with that kind of power will surely be cool.

It is too bad that Lilith has a monopoly on all kind of time power though. That means Lilith finds anyone with time ability extra spicy in that mouth of her.

Ironically enough, since the rest of her team was already eaten, and she is the only one who has not been eaten, and her power is extra spicy to Lilith, her being present here endanger her friends more than her not being here. Since Lilith already ate them, I'm sure if they went here alone, nothing will happen to her.

Seeing the confused look on her friend, the knife wielding chick explains

"Today Richard has his check up." The big guy looks grave

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Me, Russel and Lily follows to keep you company." So the sharp looking guy is Russel and the little lady is Lily

"On our way there, we met this guy." She pointed at me "Another superhuman."

"Ability Holder" I correct her

The angry lady just glares at me. Well, don't expect me to correct you when you got something wrong in the future, or it is the past?

"But no, as you can see, this is not the guy who hurt us... hurt all of you." So saying, she pokes at my ribs. Damn you goth girl! Damn you!

"Shortly afterward, we encounter another hostile superhuman right in this hospital."

The team looks around nervously.

"Nothing we did stop her. S-she killed Richard through his stone skin, exploding him from the inside out."

The Richard guy looks sick

"That is when I first reset. I didn't understand why she would attack us. I tried to warn you, however, the hostile superhuman breaks the pattern, instead of attacking us at a later point in time, she attacked out of nowhere again before her supposed time, she killed Lily.

She went after me next, but I reset it again. You know I can only go back 10 minutes in the past right? However, due to the trauma or whatever it is, I have been getting better and better, but I still can't escape her no matter how many time I reset. Ignoring all common sense, ignoring whether she was supposed to be there or not, no matter how many times I reset, she would immediate be there. Y-you all die. Many times. I'm sorry. There are many times you die to protect me so you could survive."

"You do know that Lilith is Atemporal when she wanted right?" I interjected at that moment. The important part here is 'when she wanted'. That crazy woman's mind is so rotted that no one could understand what she is thinking or what she would do. I kind of understand why she does what she does out of all the Natural Born ability holder. It just makes me sad when I think about it though.

'You and I, we kinda have the same thing in common', that is the last words I want to come out of my mouth when it comes to Lilith.

Everyone is looking at me right now

"It does not matter how many time you do the reset. There are no hope left for you, you should already realize by now since you also reset enough to realize she only went after ability holder. Your power and flesh is tasty to her. After she has eaten you, she will gain your power."

Well and after that she will reset everything. But it is only due to her sick mind that she does that, she can very well chose not to do so.

"What about you? You have been staying here all this time." The goth girl says testily

You do not test me miss, not many has that privilege.

"Well unlike you, I have been keeping my head down all this time. It is your fault to keep your invulnerability permanently on in Lilith territory, it is like walking into another person's house armed with a gun, you better expect to be slapped. Also-"

Before I could finish my words, suddenly, the big guy grabs a hold of me and throws me out of the door, into the hospital corridor.

I glance at them. The goth girl signal him to do that.

So she is the real leader? It makes sense, timewarp is OP. Not OP enough to keep Lilith from eating her one though.

And the boy uses his ability to do it, that means here come Lilith

"Oh hi Lilith."

I turns away after standing up. Thankfully the throw was gentle, I get up and then I ran.

Lilith did not pursue me. She has more delicious food to consider. I'm inedible anyway.

Suddenly, instead of sun rise, it was night again in the hospital. I hear footstep following me.

It is the knife wielding girl, wielding a knife, threatening me.

"If she only goes after ability holder, then explain that. Your ability definitely trigger during the time warp to make sure you remain unaffected. Why hasn't she gone after you?"

The girl threatening me

"I'm inedible?" I answer. What else could I say. 'I'm actually OP you know, I don't have to care about your concern, because Lilith won't acknowledge me or eat me. But you are awfully vulnerable. You are afraid, deadly afraid. But all of your fear could be let go if you let Lilith eat you one, just one, and then everything will be fine.'

Could I really say that?
