'Isolet was right; this guy is more connected with temporal flows than and her. It's not given to everyone, even to who's in the sa rank as Isolet, to influence the ti of a ranked one planet with so much panache. But this son of bitch did better than that by influencing ti in space itself.
Seeing the temporal flows in space is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But he was able to do it in a flash. Moreover, he prefers to ignore the consequences that his actions could subsequently cause instead of letting the universe regulate itself.
Thanks to these actions on his part, I am more than satisfied with my departure plan. Speaking of initial intentions, I had only one; prevent him from suspecting that my subjects are still nearby.
One thing I didn't calculate at first was that he was going to prowl around this extinct planet. Thus, my appearance on this planet would naturally make him suspicious of . Just by seeing his eyes, I can guess that he is trying to get his hands on my only weak rope, my subjects.
That's why I knowingly used my aura to create all this chaos in the hope that he would co out of its holes to play his balancing role. This plan was risky, another minute and I would have destroyed this pile of rock and exposed the interior.
But hey, I never thought he would be so imprudent by going so far.
Maybe I'm mistaken; if his goal is to reveal this fact to to better hide his true nature, then I would be really in bad shape.
For now, it is better not to be paranoid thinking about the worst.
The only thing I am sure of is that he no longer suspects of having a connection with this place. But since this madness on my part brings the expected result, let's say we succeed.
As for why I'm sure he's an impostor who plays the role of balance, it's easy to understand.
None of these beings will go so far as to disturb the flow of universal tis to repair just a few cracks; after all, the universe is not limited to just a few billion years of light.
Even if nothing is certain at the mont,
It remains to be checked if he intends to persist in playing his pseudo-role or pretending to be the being who reigns over ti.
After this brief recapitulation, Alvine touches Reha and Shiro's shoulders at the sa ti while letting so of his energy flow over them.
It only took him a nano-second to break the influence of ti on both.
The two panting as if they were about to suffocate.
"What is...-
"I am sorry to have inflicted this on you; in normal tis, this kind of forced breakup is not recomnded because of the side effects that will co after." Alvine interrupts Shiro who wants explanations.
But unlike Shiro, Reha was more focused on the diator who smiled slightly at her.
In just a second, she seems to have grasped the situation as a whole, even if she did not know the identity of the diator or what had pushed him to commit such mistrust of them.
-Shriikkk!!
Without saying a word, she drew her weapon and stood between Alvine and him even though she knew she had no chance against being in front of her.
Her senseless action made Alvine and the diator smile at the sa ti; but with different thoughts.
'I expected everything but that; this woman has changed a lot over ti. Before, she would never have drawn her blade in front stronger than she is; I don't know if it's good or bad news for .' These were the thoughts that put Alvine in a good mood.
But what about the diator?
"Wait? Are you going to face ?" He asks while snorting.
"..."
Seeing her silent but with determined and hostile eyes towards him, his sneer turned into laughter. "Huhu... HAHAHA..!! It's so entertaining to know that you have such minions in your ranks."
"..."
"..."
"..."
By dint of seeing everyone silent, including Alvine, he stopped laughing, lest he start a situation out of calculation.
"Tell , Chronos, are you here to escort or to waste my ti?" Alvine asks in a dark voice.
At this mont, the diator's smile instantly fades as if he had never existed.
"What did you just call !?"
Seeing him ask him exactly the question he expected, Alvine smiled sneakily. "Am I wrong? Is it possible that I got the wrong na? Chronos is, however, a na that feet you perfectly; especially after this dazzling feat that you have just shown us with your ti-based skill."
"... I don't like this nickna; it's as if you...-
He stops when he sees Alvine's smile which tells him: 'See if I care'.
"Forget; call as you see fit, I don't care too much."
"Pfff~, so Chronos, are you here to escort to the eting place or is it just to make fun of us?" This sarcasm ca from none other than Alvine.
"..."
Even if the diator did not comnt, his slightly wrinkled face showed that he did not like Alvine's nickna.
But knowing that it would be a waste of ti if he tried to change Alvine's mind, he returned to the main subject.
But instead of expressing himself with words, it is rather with deeds that he does it by creating a portal and taking a last look at Alvine before crossing the portal.
Seeing his actions, Alvine licks his lips as if he were delighting in the taste of victory still fresh on his taste buds. (But for how long?)
"Let's follow it." He orders his two escorts before jumping into the diator's portal without thinking of ensuring his back in the event of a trap.
Fortunately for him, the trip was smooth and even more, fast.
But the view on the other side of the portal erased Alvine's triumphant smile. "He purposed to bring here." He growls as soon as he appears on the roof of a luxurious but familiar building.
The building was not familiar to him because he knew it properly, but rather its design and construction materials.
He was not the only one to show his astonishnt, Reha and Shiro also seed to be familiar with the place in question; especially when they saw a helicopter flying over their heads.
'An illusory skill? No, it's rather a replica of the Earth. Now, it is impossible to deny that this vicious knows a lot about my past; it remains to be discovered how far his knowledge about goes.' Alvine didn't take long to understand the prank.
Reha, for her part, did not seem to need it; especially by taking into account her roots.
"Be sure to follow , Hera is already waiting for us in the restaurant."
At that mont, when Alvine's eyes crossed those of the diator, he imdiately realized that the roles were reversed; just according to the latter's smile.
But strangely, apart from the small discomfort of the start, he no longer seems to be negatively affected by the place.
'The city looks like the place where I once lived, but what's the point of rehashing the past? Especially since this one is no longer particularly important to .
My choices and decisions were motivated by my own common sense; so I have no regrets about my years spent in this other life.' With this brief reflection, he put his two hands in the pockets of his black coat and jumped from the roof of the skyscraper without saying one more word.
Seeing him so calm, the diator frowns slightly. But he didn't comnt.
Shiro and Reha followed him by jumping in their turns; a decision that left the diator indifferent who passed through the roof door.
On the thirty-ninth floor, Isolet was, as the diator had announced.
The latter was nonchalantly sitting on the table while ignoring the looks and whispers of the curious around her.
She had ordered a cup of tea, but the sll alone discouraged her from tasting it until it beca cold; especially when she realized that tea had no spiritual power.
At two tables from her, were Jabbal and Adonis, who were still sleeping while his colleague ate fries without the slightest restraint.
No need to say that they also have the attention of others on them, even if they had made efforts to blend into the masses by adapting their clothing style.
Isolet had a short purple V-neck dress with motifs of the flowers that are on his territory, and golden hems.
As for her two bodyguards, they were in white suits that were in perfect harmony with their silver hair.
Their efforts to go unnoticed were not limited only to their clothing styles, but even more; they had even made the effort to hide their non-human traits. Similar to Isolet who had masked the only pointed horn she had on the right temple.
At the sa ti, the diator enters through the main door; the latter no longer has his monk dress, but a loose light blue shirt under his black pants that perfectly fit with his black Chuck-Taylors.
But what about the craziest of all?
Yes, unlike them, Alvine and his two escorts did nothing like that.
Still with his black leather coat and his embodied gentlen's shoes, Alvine entered the restaurant lounge with his two escorts who were more like religious of a dubious cult with their male white dresses and the other dressed in a white kimono.
As soon as he arrived, Alvine and the other two, who had to draw more attention to them, strangely went more unnoticed than the others.
Sothing that did not surprise others, given that they were the only ones who could see them.
"What's the point of taking to such a noisy place?" He stops behind Isolet's chair while asking the diator who smiles slyly.
Guessing that the person concerned did not intend to answer his question, he sat on one of the two vacant chairs on Isolet's table. "It doesn't matter, let's finish it, I don't have to do that only." He mumbles while taking a bottle of wine on the bar using his gravitational magic.
No need to say that his actions were carried out with the utmost caution so that other people do not notice it.
"It's called theft, brother."
"..."
Hearing these words from Isolat, he sighed slightly while Shiro half-filled his glass.
Subsequently, Shiro joins Reha who had found an empty table like the other escort duos, and remains on standby.
Seeing that everyone has settled well, the diator sits committedly on Isolet's table; more precisely on the only unoccupied chair.
"Before starting this eting, I would like to ask you a few questions; you are free to answer or not; it all depends on your moods and whims." He explains himself as if he were the only adult.
But the two did not seem to be touched by his arrogance; they remained silent without acquiescing or refuting his proposal.
"This situation is easier to solve than you can imagine; it is just enough for one of you to decide to give up your life in favor of the other. As a diator, I would promise the latter to protect her alternates until the end of ti."
"..."
