As the purple swirling clouds fades, I found myself landing in a barren wasteland, beside a huge opening in space. That opening must be the connection that the Time Gate makes in this world. The entire world is crimson in colour, and a crimson sun shone in the crimson sky. I stood up and try to get my bearings.
This must be the Plane of Monsters, where all her creations originated. I wonder how magic in her planes actually operate, given that she actually is stronger before. From what I’ve known, she has a magical booster, or otherwise I will call it as a recharger, in this Plane. I also wonder where this Plane is actually positioned. It should be positioned somewhere in this Physical Realm, it definitely cannot be the Astral Realm and the Elemental Realm since I can’t feel an overwhelming amount of mana flow around this region.
I activated an invisible barrier around myself, because I know that Time should be summoning all her creations to this opening in space to deliver them to our world. I need to be wary of the situation in this world, my only motive here is to stop Time with something I have with myself al this while. From the dairy, he has prepared a backup plan just in case that the Time Gate is opened up. It is a great sacrifice though, but if it has to come down to it to save the entire world from being destroyed I will have to do it.
Just as I thought about it, someone else came through the portal. I took a look, and it was Miku.
“Master… Are you here? Miku is here to help you out!”
“Idiot! You are not supposed to be here! You should help out the others in the defence against the monsters that Time is about to unleash in our world!”
“Master, I can’t see you! Where are you?”
“You shouldn’t be here! Go back and help out the others!”
“You have to listen to me, Master! I hold the key to stopping Time as well!”
“What?!”
“It’s true. I’ve recovered data bank 0, 1, 3, and 10 from the Time Gate itself. According to them, to stop whatever Time is up to and destroy the Time Gate together with it, we have to combine myself with the suit together in order to destroy her magic mechanism and this Plane altogether.”
“How did you find those Data Bank in such a short time? I’ve only just went through the Time Gate a few seconds ago.”
“What are you talking about? It has been a day since you have gone through the Time Gate.”
Could it be…
“Miku, if this guess of mine is correct, we have even lesser time than I have anticipated.”
“Why?”
“I suspect that this world we are in now operates on a different Time Axis compared to our original world. Judging by what you have said, a few seconds in this world is equivalent to a day in our world. Everyone was setting up defence when you travelled here right?”
“Indeed they are.”
“Good. There should be enough time for us to find Time’s domain in this world. We need to find out where it is located in this world and then destroy her mechanism before she recharges her power to maximum strength.”
A huge dust cloud looms in the distance from all direction.
“Miku, hide now. Something is heading towards the opening.”
I activated my jetpack and flew away from the opening, Miku float up to beside me as well. We decide to stay around to see that if we can spot Time. I constructed a pair of binoculars from the suit and take a peek at what is causing all the dust clouds. All I see are monsters, monsters, and more monsters everywhere. All of them were creatures that I have never seen before, some flying above ground, some walking on the ground, some drilling through the earth. In front of the entire army of monsters, a human (Or at least, that is what I believe it to be) leads the entire army. Time is not in sight anywhere among the monsters, as far as I can see.
The army of monsters continues to advance towards the opening, then they all stopped just at the opening. The humans (which I assume is their leaders), activated a magic spell on all the monsters, which caused them glow with a blue hue, then they went through the portal. I guess they are strengthening them in preparation for the attack? Whatever it is, it can’t be good for us.
I and Miku flew off in the north direction first to see where those monsters originated. We flew for a long distance, finally we come across a large hole in the ground where the ground type monsters are originating.
“Absolutely disgusting, Master….”
“I understand, but I don’t have the power to destroy this monster spawner. We just have to hope that our defenders will be able to deal with all of those monstrosities. All of this will be gone once will terminate Time and destroy her entire domain.”
We were just about to leave the giant hole when a long worm like monster, with a huge eye on its individual body segment, started charging in our direction. I immediately grabbed Miku and flew away from the trajectory the worm monsters it is taking. It went pass us and drilled back into the ground again.
“You need to be warier of your surrounding Miku. That was dangerous.”
“Sorry Master.”
We both then went to South, East and West direction, and in all those direction, we found the individual monster spawner that creates all those monsters. We searched everywhere, but we did not manage to see where Time’s domain is located.
“This is almost like a large scale hide and seek that we are playing now, except that if we did not manage to find her on time, she will erase Existence altogether.”
“Do you think that the previous Master has recorded this somewhere?”
“It will be either in the data bank or the diary. I’ve fully translated the diary, and from within he only stated that he has a backup plan just in case we failed to destroy the Time Gate before Time reactivates it. The only clues are perhaps in the data banks, but you didn’t find anything, did you Miku?”
“I did manage to find out tiny details about it inside the data banks. According to the data banks, the previous Master used a machine to view this Plane, so he has the exact coordinates and can pinpoint where the Time’s domain is here. However, the information associated to that data within the data bank has been overwritten and is corrupted. All I am able to recover is that the location of her domain is very near the opening of the Time Gate itself, and is located in the sky.”
“That should be enough.”
We both flew to opening of the Time Gate and higher up in the sky so that we are not interrupted by the worm like monsters that are entering the opening. I start to think about where can Time’s domain be located.
Knowing Time’s personality, she is somewhat twisted, hides all her secrets in great detail, and is somewhat unpredictable. She will definitely not show her domain in the open like any antagonist will, she will not let anyone into her domain since all her greatest secret lies within, and therefore we have to find a method to access it, in which none of the monsters here will know.
Then I begin to think deeper, knowing Time and her abilities, she will definitely hide her domain somewhere on the Time Axis, invisible and inaccessible to others without abilities of Time, and creatures that has this ability are very little. This will lead to very limited number of creatures able to access her domain, thus preserving her secret. However, there are infinite number of points on the Time Axis I have to cut into to figure out where her domain is located at, I cannot just simply just try out all the possible point to cut into, that will not be feasible.
I continued thinking. Time must have definitely not built her domain within the first 3 million years, starting from the Creation Point. At those point, nothing but the most basic form of molecules and mana are formed. Time is still at its infant stage and it will be quite impossible to access the Time Axis as it will be heavily condensed and concentrated. Even if she is able to access the Time Axis, the property of mana at that point of time will prevent her from using magic altogether, or it can come at a huge cost that makes it not worth it at all.
On the same chain of thought, she definitely will not be able to escape the period of time that my past-self used to perform Ragnarok. According to my memories, I used to perform Ragnarok every one million years, erasing everything and reconstructing back everything in the process. This is to recycle the mana that has been exhausted from being overused in the mana network and from the Astral Realm. The last time I did that was before I was killed and reincarnated as an ordinary human.
I have lost count the period of time that passed while I was reincarnated, from what I have gathered, it took me about 5 million years for me to reincarnate as a human. From this, I can deduce that Time must have built her domain within the period of this 5-million-year break period.
Now that I have narrowed down to a more specific time period, I need to access all the Time Axis that is relevant to this time period. I need my sword, Chrono Corruption, to do this.
“Miku, stand back.”
“What are you going to do, Master?”
“I did some thinking on this, I have made the conclusion that Time’s domain resides in a different Time Axis compared to ours, and the position she is residing on is somewhere between 11 billion years to the present moment after the Creation Point. That gives us approximately 2 billion position on the Time Axis to check for.”
“We have to check through so many of them?! We won’t have enough time!”
“Yes, we have to check through all of them, but I have a faster process to speed up all of them.”
“Eh?”
“I’m guessing that the Time’s domain is an anomaly in the Time Field. Remember, she has unimaginable powers before she came into our world via the Time Gate. Whatever she has used to create her domain in a separated Time Axis in comparison to ours, this will create a Time Bubble. I’m just speculating here, but if my guess is correct, we can shorten the time that we expend on finding her in this world.”
“But if we enter a Time Bubble, we might never be able to leave it again!”
“Maybe we will. Maybe we will not. I will have to leave this to the capability of Chrono Corruption. If it has been prepared properly, it should be able to go against the effect of a Time Bubble. If it is not, then too bad for us, we will have to see when will the anomaly collapse and return the Time Bubble onto the Timeline. By the time it does that an unknown amount of Time would have passed, who knows what would have happened in the world by then. Now then, we have to start investigating.”
I fly up into the sky, and Miku floated up to my altitude as well. I materialized the Chrono Corruption and focused all my energy onto it, and closed my eyes. A vision appeared in my mind, I can see the Timelines and the Time Axis, and above the Timelines I see various detached spheres from it. Those are the Time Bubbles. I use my hand to navigate through the numerous points of the Time Axis.
The Time Axis is as what it is named, an independent Axis separated from the Axis of Space and Mana. It is fundamentally different from Timelines, Timelines is where time travels linearly and split into different Timelines as different choices are made, and it records Time in a linear fashion, always spreading out due to the multiple choices into the form of Time network.
Time Axis, on the other hand, is much more complicated and not as well understood. It is known that there are three Axis in the Existence itself, the Time Axis in the Time Field, the Space Axis in the Space Dimension, and the Mana Field in the Mana Network. On the Time Axis, Time is spread out over a three-dimensional fashion, and different points on the Time Axis has its own corresponding Timeline. It is almost impossible to pinpoint an individual spot in Time itself due to how complicated Time can be inside the Time Axis.
However, recent discoveries have been made that one can navigate through the maze of points in Time on the Time Axis by identifying a memory associated with it. According to the research papers, to pinpoint a specific point in the Time Axis, you will first have to isolate the memory you wish to associate with. By injecting the memory onto the Time Axis, the associated points in Time will illuminate on the Time Axis, making it easier to identify the associated points.
In our case though, we are not using this property of the Time Axis, because we don’t have any memory associated to Time’s domain. Instead, I’m using another property of Time Axis that the previous Innight has discovered. According to his research papers, one can also pinpoint a specific moment in the Time Axis by focusing Time magic onto the object we are looking for, that will also cause the point in Time associated with it to illuminate on the Time Axis.
After navigating through the entire mess of points of Time, I finally came across the point that I was looking for. I opened up my eyes again.
“I’ve found it. Miku, for safety reasons, stand back.”
Miku flew some distance away from me. I hold tightly on the Chrono Corruption and whispered “Chrono Connectivity” before swinging the sword across the empty space. A large opening in space appeared where the sword has sliced through, and it glows with a faint green light. I signalled Miku to come over to my side.
“According to the Time Axis, and through my investigation and analysation, I have found it on the one millionth position in the direction of x axis in relative to the creation of the Physical Realm. It is positioned on a Timeline relatively close to ours, just 2 branches away. Now, we have to go in to check if this is the right one.”
We both hopped into the opening, when we landed, we found ourselves facing a magnificent mansion. The wall around it and the gate itself shine with its brilliant gold, the entire mansion shone with crimson red sparkles. Miku immediately tumbled onto the ground upon reaching.
“What’s wrong Miku?”
“My strength…. It feels like my very essence, is being absorbed away from me.”
Could it be…?
“Miku, put your hand on my sword.”
She holds onto my sword, and immediately she stood up.
“Strange, the moment I touched the sword, I feel normal again.”
I knew it.

“Miku, I’m going to extract some of the components of this sword. I suspect this is Time’s ability that is causing this. Her Devouring Castle of Time, which will extract Time from anyone who stands under this spell. My sword is special that it can go against any type of Time magic, granting immunity against it. I will extract some of the magic inside and give it to you.”
Saying this, I moved my hands onto the sword, focusing all my energy, I slowly and gradually pull out a small green sphere from the blade itself. I then hand it over to Miku.
“how did you manage to do this, Master?”
“This suit is the source of all this power. I’m still quite unsure why the previous Innight has not managed to use this suit to grant the ability for me to cast magic, but this suit can do almost everything except for casting magic. I just focused my will to extract the Time essence within this sword itself, that’s all.”
“You’re invincible with this then, Master!”
“I’m unsure about that. I have not put this suit to the test yet. Besides, we are going to have one last fight against Time before I sacrifice this suit forever. We can test it out later, together with this sword.”
We then flew over the gates. Immediately the ground shook and 2 long worm like monsters start appearing from the ground and attacked us. They looked like the ones that tried to attacked us a moment ago, apparently, they have the ability to see through the invisibility shield.
“Chrono Immobility!”
It has no effect on those worms, they burrowed into the ground, only to sprout out from the ground again and charge towards us.
“Guess we have no choice. Miku, you take on one of them, I will deal with the other.”
Miku fired balls of spells at the worm itself, while I swung my sword and allowed the projectiles to pierce through the worm itself. The worm splits into new segments when the body is severed into two, and the on the front of the individual segment a new mouth grow from it, forming a new head. As the monster is unbelievably long, I took careful measures to ensure I don’t get overwhelmed by the monster itself. I have to carefully deal with the head and ensure that I don’t have more than 2 segments attacking me at the same time.
Eventually, we destroyed the monster. We have to break the segments down to one piece before the monster dies. From what I can count, there is around 50 segment on that worm monster itself. A loud screech came from monster itself after it is defeated.
“Approach slowly, Miku, we do not want to activate more of her security system.”
“Understood.”
When we almost reached the door of the mansion, more worms drilled up from the ground and attacked us. We immediately run into the mansion first, I closed the door and Miku shouted:
“Explosion!”
A fireball of magic exploded right outside the yard of the mansion, I’m unsure how many of the worms were killed, but hopefully they will not be here to disturb us again.
I looked around, we are in a long hallway, with doors at the side of the hallway. Two rows of armours line up at the side of the hallway, almost appearing to be inviting us inside. The entire hallway is coloured in crimson red, the ceiling, walls, floors and the doors. I’m starting to get a little sick of the colour now. Only the armours are coloured differently, they come in a variety of colour, from red to violet.
“I don’t like these things, Master, they look like they are staring into my soul.”
“Miku, get ready.”
“Huh?”
“If I know Time, this will be her second line of defence. In three…. two… one…”
Immediately after I said one, I took out my Chrono Corruption and shouted “Chrono Extraction!”, at the same time, the entire two rows of amour made their move, they materialized various sorts of weapons and wanted to strike us.
Since I struck first, all their Time is immediately extracted and absorbed into my sword, they all then fell to the ground, then disintegrated into black dust and float away.
“What are these things, Master?” Miku asked in a scared tone.
“Time of the Dead. She selected Time from the Dead and insert them into the armours, turning them into living armours. I knew she will be up to something like this the moment I saw the armours. She must really have been prepared for an invasion.”
“Well do you think she is, Master?”
“I have to perform Mana Reading.”
“What is that, Master?”
“Mana Reading. It’s a skill that enables me to detect mana flow and usage in the Mana Network. From what I can infer, Time is probably interacting with her mechanism to supercharge her power right now. From the diagrams and illustrations from the previous Innight’s diary, it works by absorbing mana from the mana network, combining with Time Essence intercepted from the Time Field, plus an addition of Souls to fuel that machine. I can read where the machine is absorbing the mana from and from there, be able to pinpoint where is her position in this mansion.”
“Oh.”
“Judging by how long we have taken to get here, she might already have activated it. We don’t know how far it is before she reaches her maximum potential again, so we have to hurry up.”
I closed my eyes and start viewing the flow of mana from the Mana Network. I see a wave of mana rushing towards our direction, I opened my eyes.
“Miku, get ready, the 3rd wave of defenders is about to begin.”
I ready my sword and Miku prepares magic circles around the hallway. We slowly travel inwards of the hallway.
“Chrono Barrier!”
I activated a Time barrier around me and Miku, and just in time. Someone, or something, hit the barrier and is reflected. I took a look at what performed that attack, but it is travelling at such an incredible speed I cannot see anything but sense its mana movement, which is also very rapid but since it drags around, I can sense it.
“What shall we do, Master?”
“I’ll try to see if I can stop it. Chrono...”
The monster seems to know what I’m about to do and it created a Time barrier around itself as well as it continued attacking. That will render my Time magic of this sword useless. I will have to rely on my suit, intelligence, and Miku’s ability to eliminate it.
“Miku.”
“Yes Master?”
“I think I know who this creature is. We definitely cannot outrun it with speed, but in terms of magical power, we are way stronger than his. I think. We need to use Spatial Distortion to beat it.”
“Master… That is dangerous!”
“Everything is at risk here, we have to take the risk, no matter how dangerous it may seem. Miku, I’m going to open up a micro black hole inside here, this monster’s running limit is the speed of light, so once he is sucked inside he is eliminated.”
“But Master, us! We will get sucked in!”
“I am worried that you have not been thought properly about black holes, Miku. Black holes also create a gravity well just like any planets, stars, or astronomical objects, but they do not necessary suck objects into it. They only suck objects that passes the Event Horizon of the black hole itself. You need to know more about black holes when we get back. Wait, oh…”
I then remembered, Miku wouldn’t be coming back with us.
“Never mind that now, let’s get rid of this monster now.”
I materialized a pair of gravity gloves and using it, created a micro black hole by compressing gravity together, all while the monster is still attacking. I pushed the micro blackhole to the side of our Time barrier, and instantly the monster starts to shred apart. the black hole ripped the monster into two pieces, and the remains of the monster lies on the ground. I used the gravity gloves to compress down onto the micro black hole so that the mass of the micro black hole reaches infinity. The micro black hole then collapse and explode, releasing a shockwave. Since we are within a barrier, we are unaffected by it.
I closed my eyes again, then check for the flow of mana again. Through the blue images of mana flow, I see that there is a tremendous flow of mana from everywhere towards a room at the 3rd floor. That should be the room that we are looking for. I opened my eyes.
“Miku, follow me, I think we have found the target.”
We walk along the long and seemingly endless hallway, finally we come to a crimson spiral staircase. I put one hand on the hand rail, holding onto Miku’s hand with my other hand and walked up the staircase. As we go up the staircase, we hear a ticking sound, getting louder as we go up the staircase. When we reached the third floor we found ourselves facing a huge wooden door. I pressed on the handle of the door, and found it locked.
“Miku, can you blast open this door?”
“Sure thing.”
Miku formed a ball of magic and pushed it towards the door. It then exploded and the door disintegrated. Inside is someone that we have been looking for.
“TIME!”
Inside the room, a platform made out of unknown glowing material is positioned in the middle of the room. From it thousands of wires stretched out from it and covered the floor. Two huge cylinder of green and blue liquid is connected to it. I guess that must be liquefied mana and Time Essence. On the platform, Time is floating above it. She opened up her eyes, her right crimson eye glowing and her left golden clock eye is winding clockwise.
“So you have finally come!” She cried while in her machinery.
“Enough with all of this! This is your last chance to turn back, Time!”
“What makes you think I will back away now, Innight? All of your species time is up, and it is time for us to rule the world once again, before humans did!”
“FINE!”
I readied my Chrono Corruption to strike Time, immediately her shadow opens up and her clones starts flooding the room.
“Sorry, but you can never be able to counter me. Against these numbers, what can you possibly do?”
“Miku, this might look more troublesome than it already is.”
“What shall we do, Master?” Miku is in fear.
“I’m thinking, I’m thinking…. She has the powers of Time so most magical spells you cast is useless against her. All her clones have the same abilities as hers, only much less powerful than she is, that puts us at an extreme disadvantage. Only I am immune to all her Time-based attacks due to my Chrono Corruption, but that does not grant me any advantage when I am facing so much attacks at the same time. What can we do…”
Time’s clones immediately start firing her spells everywhere. Since we still have the Time Barrier on, all attacks are blocked off.
“We need to separate Time from the machine first, that will be our highest priority in this situation now so that her power does not get any stronger. Then we need to lock down Time to make sure she does not get to move at all, then we can focus on destroying this machine.”
“How shall we do this, Master?”
“I thought of a way, but it’s going to hurt, Miku.” I picked up Miku horizontally using my gravity gloves.
“Huh? What are you doing, Mas…”
I throw Miku in the direction of the real Time on the machine using a force of 20 thousand Newtons. All the clones were knocked onto the side as Miku flung straight towards the real Time. The real Time was immediately knocked off from the machine and was flung into the wall and created a crater there. The shockwave created by Time hitting the wall caused all her clones to be lifted up from the floor and crash straight into the walls and the ceiling. I have intensified the gravity field within my Time Barrier so I stay put on the ground. Immediately I deliver a drone to absorb all the time that is in the original Time’s body. It then returned to with its magic pool filled with Essence of Time. All the clones of Time slowly vanished one after another.
I walked to where the crater is created. Time and Miku are both unconscious. I picked up Miku with both of my hands and put her beside Time. I create a Time prison surrounding Time so she cannot escape us. I continued waiting.
Finally, both of them regained consciousness. Miku crawled to my side, she probably is still weak from the blast. Time tried to summon her clones but since she is drained of Time, so she couldn’t do it.
“Time. This is the end of the line. The Existence is supposed to be a place for all creatures, not just monsters alone. You shall stay here while we destroy everything in this place, you shall be trapped in the Void in The Gap once this place is destroyed. Have fun then.”
“Not yet. I still have a last Ace in my pocket to be played.”
“What can you do now? All your magic is exhausted, your control over this plane is severely weakened. Once we destroy this plane, you are nothing but just an anomaly in Time.”
“Fu fu fu… You will never be able to anticipate this!”
Saying this, Time did something. Electric sparkles start flying out of the machine and beeping sounds start emitting from it.
“What did you…”
“I have prepared for the worst. Once this machine explodes, it will overflow the mana network and the Timelines and Time Axis, causing them to rupture. The absence of Time to support Space will cause Space Dimension to collapse. That will still cause everything to be destroyed. You will never be able to have a Happy Ending, no matter how much you try!”
“You…!”
Miku looked up at me.
“Master… We can’t stop the machine now… What should we do?”
“I’m going to test the limit of this suit. I will try to absorb as much mana and Time as possible from this machine itself using an absorption mechanism. I do not have any idea how much this suit can handle and what is the consequence of trying to absorb so much power within such a short time span, but there are no other options available for us now.”
I stood on the platform, and activate an absorption sphere around myself and the machine. I dematerialized the Chrono Corruption.
“No matter what you do, we will seek to gain eternal peace in The Existence!” I cried as I connect with the machine.
“It is our duty, The Inversionalist, to create a new world, a world where no Darkness exist and where Light can rule over everything! You may successfully destroy my plans, but you shall not be able to stop the others in the other Timelines!”
“Huh?! How many of you are there?!”
“Secrets and secrets, you will not be able to find them. With me gone, the others will be wary of you and will hide themselves from you, when the Time is ripe we shall remove you, the greatest threat in achieving our plan!”
“Miku, activate Infinity Shield! The machine is about to go!”
Miku activates a blue barrier with signs of infinity inscribes on it. The Essence of Time and mana from the respective cylinder begin flooding me at the speed and intensity of a tsunami. With so much power flooding into my suit, I feel nauseous, and my whole body is on the verge on exploding, everywhere feels like on fire, and I feel my blood heating up beyond boiling point and start to boil in my blood vessels. It goes beyond just uncomfortable, I feel like my entire body is going to break apart any moment and I will explode into a bloody mess of body parts.
Then it all stopped. I looked at the sides of the machine, the cylinders were empty. I took a look at Time and Miku, they stared at me.
Stare…….
“What is it, Master?”
“Why are you both staring at me?”
“You look so cool, Master!” Miku exclaimed.
“I… failed…?” Time spluttered out the words.
“What do you mean by that, Miku?”
“Look at yourself, Master!”
I raised my hands up, and saw that dark flames flickers from it. I decide to materialize a mirror using my suit but I find I can’t do it. I then took a look at myself, and found that the suit has vanished, instead a gothic clothing replaced it. I also realized something is sticking out behind my back, I turned my head around, and saw that I have a pair of fallen angel wings. I also feel an overflowing amount of power flowing within myself.
Could it be… No, it shouldn’t happen that easily… but the chance is there… Maybe I should test it out…?
“Mana bomb!”
A small blue colour sphere sprouted out from my hand and flew towards Miku at the speed of sound and exploded when it touched the Infinity barrier. When the smoke cleared, I found that the entire mansion has vaporized with just a simple little spell. Miku and Time both land on the ground while I’m flying up in the air.
“Finally… Finally…”
I flew towards Miku and Time. Both of them were trembling in fear.
“Master… What will you do now, with this power?” Miku asked.
“Please… Please don’t kill me… Please! I’m sorry with all that I have done! I’ll do anything, just don’t kill me!” Time stuttered.
“I will need to find out all the members of this group called Inversionalist. Time, I can spare you, but in exchange I want all the information you have about this group that you belong to. Also, I will have to destroy this Plane altogether to ensure that you will not be able to rise into a dangerous power ever again. But first, we will leave here first.”
I used telekinesis to lift up the Time prison and injected Life into Miku so she can walk again. I set down a Space Consumption Orb on the ground and set it to activate in 5 minutes. I fly towards the opening in space and found that all sorts of monsters are still wandering into it.
“What a pain. Phantasmal Deathray!”
From my hands, I shoot out a huge aquamarine coloured beam of laser at the monsters and circle around them, vaporizing everything there in the process. We then both fly through the opening.
When we returned back to our world, we see huge tents everywhere. The moment we left the portal, the entire portal become compressed into one spot and explodes into pieces.
“Look at him!”
“It’s Innight! With Time locked behind him!”
“We have to shoot both of them down now before they destroy us all!”
What kind of misinformation did the Grand Rulers give this time? It looks like I could not stay in this Timeline anymore. That or I really have to wipe out this Timeline from The Existence. It has been so severely corrupted that if it further develops, it might eventually cause a revolution against The Grand Rulers as well, leading to another problem. It might be the best for the future of Existence to remove this corrupted Timeline altogether.
Yes. I have to do this. For the better good.
All sorts of spells were fired at me from all directions. I instantly created an Infinity Barrier to keep out all of them. I turned to Miku and Time.
“This is all your fault, Time. This Timeline has been corrupted beyond repair. If it is left to continue like this, eventually it will cause a collapse in the Timeline itself since they no longer trust others except for the Grand Rulers, if this continue they will one day lose trust on the Grand Rulers and cause a revolution. The result of it will be unimaginable. I will have to access the Time Field to figure out the point of origin for this particular Timeline and destroy it altogether. Then I will have to question Time to figure out who are the other members of the Inversionalist. They will be in the other Timelines, but where exactly I will have to figure that out later.”
“Master…”
“What is it, Miku?”
“I… I cannot go with you.”
“Eh? Why is that so?”
“I’m only supposed to be functioning within this particular Timeline. In other Timelines, I am no longer functional. The other Masters in the other Timelines also have no idea on how to fix me. My presence is bound to this particular Timeline. If I leave this Timeline, I will be erased. I am bound to this Timelines for eternity, so if you remove this Timeline, I will be removed as well.”
I sighed.
“I expected this. So I am the only one allowed to travel between Timelines. Well, if this is going to be the case, stay in this Timeline, Miku. Do what you need to do before I erase this Timeline forever.”
Miku nodded. I opened up a portal and, taking the Time prison, entered it.
“Alright, these information is enough for me.”
“Can you let me go now? I promise I will be good! I have lost all my powers since you extracted all the Time out of myself, and I lost my home. I can never return back to power again. I cannot do anything evil again, so please let me go!”
“I will let you go, but on one condition.”
“What is it?”
