After revealing how the combination of the 3 Divine Abilities could have killed the current Kahn, the future Kahn revealed the secret card that he created… naly, the System.
"Despite all those risks and uncertainty of you dying due to the aftereffects of the 3 divine abilities that you were bound to have…
There was only one way left to circumvent it and prolong your survival until the Conclave of Heroes." declared future Kahn.
"You may not believe this but my ability to read the mories of the dead… ca from the God of Darkness himself." he stated firmly.
"Although it happened only after I awakened my divine key… it was sothing that often helped not only to succeed in my goals but also help redirect my actions to ensure my survival.
Look at us for example… I would not be here if I hadn't read Anakin's mories and acquired the archaic spell God of Ti gave him." he iterated confidently.
"God of Darkness has the record of every being that lived and died, their powers, abilities, appearance, bloodlines, and physiological structure.
He is the Death itself and all he had to do was gather the information through the mories of the dead souls in the Eternal Abyss." explained the Martial Emperor.
"Then I, the future version of you, who had the mories from Earth and knew how this whole thing in various dia worked, created the interface which you call the System.
An interface that compartntalized everything based on mana, physical stats, bloodlines, skills description, abilities, laws of the reality, elents of nature, ranks of monsters, fighting classes, weapons, armors, and everything that was to know about Vantrea." he spoke in a smug voice.
"After he gave what was needed, similar to an Artificial Intelligence, I created simulations and an adaptability interface which would respond to you like a program similar to that of those System novels and MMORPG stories where things based on your choices of these 3 divine abilities would be explained." he iterated even more shalessly.
"But the main purpose was always to balance out and not absorb anything that could be harmful to you in the long run.
Not a single one of the abilities that you absorbed from anything you killed, whether it was just a fighting technique or a bloodline was taken from the outside sources, assimilated inside your body for more than necessary. The system made sure that everything was balanced without you suffering any repercussions until you at least beca a Saint." revealed future Kahn.
"Also, I took that risk knowing you would follow my footsteps of raiding the Bromnir Dungeon and get the tamorphosis bloodline that would help you balance these bloodlines.
Moreover, I kind of gambled on the fact that you would try to absorb the Jatvuarym monster and get the Legendary rank tamorphosis Bloodline after entering the Vulcan Empire.
So that it would keep you alive until the Conclave of Heroes at least." he spoke in a coy tone.
"So you took such a big risk based on simple 'gut feeling'? If I hadn't absorbed the tamorphosis bloodline, I would be long dead before even becoming a Saint?" asked Kahn, a bit pissed off.
Because the future him played such a huge ga of probability which could have risked his life in the new tiline.
"Hey, we may be from different tilines, but we have the sa personality as far as money and greed for new powers are concerned.
I did not create the system based on a hunch alone. I also used my mories to make the best use of encounters I had with several monsters and their abilities that would help survive in the new tiline." explained the Martial Emperor.
"On top of it, Kravel wasn't even present in the World Boundary when God of Darkness chose as his Hero in the original tiline.
I made him co there just so he could offer his Blessings and Gifts to you as his Apostle in the new tiline." revealed future Kahn.
He did not make the current Kahn choose the 3 Divine Abilities and made the War Deity give him various Blessings without purpose and knowing how the encounters of the original tiline would end up helping him survive, he basically paved the way for Kahn.
The future Kahn built the road so current Kahn could walk on it.
----------------
After so ti of contemplating, the current Kahn absorbed this fact and spoke somberly…
"I have noticed that you referred to Elric as if he is a different person.
It's as if you are ashad to be called by our original na. Why is that?" asked Kahn sternly.
This was a fact he noticed throughout their conversation so far and future Kahn always ntioned Elric Johnson from a 3rd-person perspective.
To this sudden question, the future Kahn was quite taken aback and turned his head around as if he was anxious and also disheartened.
"It… it's not sothing I'm proud of. We may be the sa person but we have lived different lives if I'm to be honest." spoke future Kahn with an incredulous countenance as if he didn't want to talk about it.
"This new tiline… For , coming back in ti was also an opportunity to correct so mistakes I made, the ones I'm quite ashad of." he spoke in a defeated tone. "In the original tiline… All I did was hide like a coward. I did not et Albestros and neither did I go around acting as Azrael who punished criminals.
Even after learning the truth, I did not avenge his children like you did.
After reaching Rathna… I did not start so weapon company called Bloodborne, learn blacksmithing skills from Throk, or open a rcenary guild called Misthios.
Unlike you, the first 6 years of my life were simply… uneventful." he spoke and sighed.
"I stayed in Flavot City for an entire year than just 2 months while working as Adventurer, thinking dungeon hunting was going to help beco incredibly powerful like so plot of a novel or manga. Even there, I barely took risks and delayed progressing to the final floor for an entire year unlike you who did it in the first month.
Although you ended up dying once and I saved you using my Abyss Sentinel form, you received Rathnaar's Core much faster." he elaborated.
"After I moved to the capital, I acted as a hired soldier for those noble clans and was hardly making ends et because of my hesitation to stand out, thinking that it would risk exposing my identity." he spoke in a hushed tone and continued with a tone full of pain...
"And that... Was my biggest mistake in life."
