A pindrop silence ensued as the atmosphere turned heavier than before. What Morpheus Constantine revealed to Kahn just now had far bigger consequences than he imagined.
The simple spell left by the God of Ti to the Hero of Ti in the original tiline, in case they failed to kill the Demon God, beca the way for original Kahn Salvatore to return to the past and correct so mistakes, as well as create a new path for the Kahn of the new tiline.
However... he had to keep many secrets away from the new Kahn for the sake of keeping the tiline as intact as they could, despite the obvious dissonances that were most likely to happen.
In this tiline, he awakened the Hero of Darkness title in the Bromnir Dungeon while creating many subordinates who didn’t exist in the previous tiline.
Kassandra Mikealson was alive in this new tiline, unlike the prior one, where her death was obscure but imminent.
Kahn had already killed the Hero of Fire, saving the Hero of Nature inadvertently while also changing the fate of Vanessa Hos Siegfreed, Havi Hos Siegfreed, and the entire Vulkan Empire.
His actions would also change the future of the Nadur, aka Beast Empire, since Maximus was still alive.
Vildred Mortelix, the Lightning Dragon Emperor, had also turned into an ally instead of a weapon for the Hero of Life.
In one way or another, the single spell given by the God of Ti had greatly impacted the wheel of ti while his own Hero was imprisoned in the capital of the empire that was supposed to worship the God.
The fate worked in mysterious ways, but for so people... it was a punishnt.
"In the original tiline, you and I t 4 years after the Conclave of Heroes. But after you returned to the past, the corpse of the Hero of Ti brought back to mine, along with this spatial realm created by the Elder Dragon Saalazaar.
However... it didn’t just impact your life but mine too," stated the forr Hero of Darkness.
"The of that ti had already killed the Heroes as well as the Demon God.
In this new tiline... It was precisely at the mont when I created this place after I was done setting up the hidden Abyss Empire, that I returned due to the effect of that spell, since it was the beginning point for this realm in the new tiline.
The hidden realm I created using my divine ability was already a backup plan, but when mories of both tilines rged... I ca to learn the truth about future events.
Not just the ones I witnessed in my own life but also the ones I heard and knew from the original Kahn Salvatore." explained Morpheus.
At so point, the whole ti travel thing beca a bit complicated, but since Martial Emperor had already explained to the new Kahn that the tiline in Vantrea wasn’t linear as they assud on Earth... it kind of made Kahn get the gist of things without his mind getting discombobulated.
"There are anomalies whenever there is a change in the tiline.
That was sothing the Elder Dragon of Cosmos told us a long ti ago. So this ti, I used so of the ans I already knew from the original tiline to erase my existence as well as make all the Gods forget so specific parts from the original tiline.
It beca possible only because I already had the divine weapons of all the heroes, all of which are made from an offering, a part of them, or an aspect of their existence.
Even the God of Darkness was no exception, and neither was the God of Ti." spoke Morpheus sternly.
Mind-boggling!
Kahn couldn’t even absorb the most unbelievable part of this conversation... that a chosen hero of a god made all of them forget about his existence and a few key secrets from the original tiline.
Just how powerful had the 8th Hero of Darkness beco during his final days?
"Afterwards, I allowed everything to happen as naturally as it should.
But this ti... I made sure that you and Argos t first, and my mories were properly hidden away." he stated firmly.
"I even waited to kill myself exactly 250 years ago after finding Argos and leaving behind all the asures and resources to train him just like the original tiline." responded Morpheus.
"The only regret I have is that the mories returned to the ti after everything pivotal was done. Alas, I had to let the tiline fly smoothly so that when your return happened 6 years ago... I would be ready for your arrival; whether it was the original Kahn Salvatore or the new you." he stated with great restraint.
"So you’re telling ... it was all planned beforehand, but you were aware of this new version of coming here all this ti?" asked Kahn.
Waiting for soone for over 300 years and even choosing to stay sealed instead of trying to change the tiline itself...
That was a sacrifice.
The Martial Emperor, Elder Dragon Saalazaar, and now, the 8th Hero of Darkness himself had sacrificed their lives just so they could get things in order and have the advantage of killing the Demon God for once and all.
What kind of great secret was it that even the Gods could not be allowed to have its knowledge.
"How gravely monuntal and destructive is this secret that you wanted to keep hidden for the past 300 years?" asked Kahn with a serious expression.
"To find that out..." spoke Morpheus, and instantly, he lunged at Kahn.
Stab!
Kahn didn’t even get a chance to react, and before he could blink, the 8th Hero of Darkness stabbed his greatsword into Kahn’s chest.
Wriggle!
Squirm!
"Arggh!!" wailed Kahn.
With all his powers gone, he could not resist a direct stab in his chest.
Moreover, he also did not expect the 8th Hero of Darkness to suddenly turn into an enemy.
"You must beco ." whispered Morpheus with cold and lifeless eyes staring at Kahn.
The squirming black aura from the greatsword suddenly started spreading all over Kahn’s clothes and body, and within seconds, completely engulfed Kahn.
But what was even more surprising was that the 8th Hero of Darkness was also absorbed with the black aura.
And just 10 seconds later...
What remained was only Morpheus Constantine, sitting exactly where Kahn sat.
"This is going to be a long story..." he said and stood up from Kahn’s throne as the obsidian greatsword reappeared in his hand.
Step!
Step!
He slowly walked towards his own black throne and sat on it while plunging his sword into the ground. Kahn’s throne disappeared like ashes and the 8th Hero of Darkness took a deep breath.
His face intensified, his eyes turned sharp and cold, directly gazing in the opposite direction as if he was looking at soone beyond the constraints of ti and reality as he spoke with a playful smirk...
"Are you ready?"
