When the group finally returned back to Nebulon, they Evergreen guild mbers went to their temporary guild headquarters. Levin Cloud went with them as he still has business with the Anastacia. He also told Adrian that he will need his help when they are going to fetch the other prophet from captivity.
Alder wanted to go to the eastern continent imdiately, but he was needed for guild matters. His trip with Peridot to the eastern continent is put on hold. Peridot did join Levin Cloud as she wanted to see what he will do.
Kabrakan said that he will find missions that he can partake in so that he can beco stronger. Creepysoo then invited Kabrakan to go hunting with him since that is what he doe in his free ti. His only royal undead responsibilities are basically show himself in the castle every once in a while.
The two half elentals, Vayu and Soleil, returned back to Alfheim to ask Lauma about their worries of a traitor among the elental kings. The words that Adrian told them sort of make sense, but they want to believe that it is not happening. They disappeared in a flash of fire and wind after saying their farewells.
Adrian is then left by himself as he waited for the others to be on their way. He now has the power to save Ascalor. With the remaining ti he has left, he imdiately teleported to the Paradox Planes. He did not want to waste any more ti as Elder Danaya looks like she is about to pass out from exhaustion.
====
Adrian returned to the Paradox Planes and noticed that the number of Daemos Corps patrolling has significantly lessened. He asked about it so that he could get the rundown of the situation and learned that the Daemos Corps is now on alert as so dungeons started overflowing with monsters.
Adrian is told that the presence of a dark god might have influenced the mana productivity of the world as a god does produce a lot of mana. The barrier surrounding the fallen imperial capital is also a large lump of mana. As ti passes, the barrier weakens and the mana it has dissipates in the world.
Mana created by the gods themselves are not difficult to control but the collection of mana from multiple gods to form a barrier is different. For example, if a lightning god were to influence the world using its mana, then there might be an increase of monster or individuals that can use lightning magic. This is also what happened when the twin gods descended as their mana seeped to the soil of the dungeon.
Adrian learned another useful tidbit of information regarding the how a god's mana influences the world. He thanked the guard that answered him and imdiately ran towards Ascalor's ho. He saw Elder Danaya inside Ascalors room, but she is not in the best condition. Elder Danaya's bright green glow seed to beco dim.
"Are you okay, Elder Danaya?" Adrian asked as he checked if she could hear him.
"You finally ca. Did you succeed? The poison started spreading again after two days. It even dispelled the power of the relic." Elder Danaya asked weakly.
"I succeeded in getting the two relics that could save the old man. You should rest and stop applying healing magic to him. You look like you are about to pass out from severe exhaustion." Adrian stated in a worried tone. He treats Elder Danaya like that kind auntie you buy snacks from and gives you extra because you always buy from her.
"I leave it up to you then." Elder Danaya stated as she relinquished the spell that prevents the poison that is infecting Ascalor's body.
Adrian took a good look at Ascalor's body and noticed that the poison has almost covered 75% of his whole body. It seems that the efforts of the elder dryad have been stressing her out to a large degree. If the poison has spread despite her effort and the magic of the sphinx then this poison is far more tenacious than they thought.
"I, Equinox, request the aid of the Stele of Everlasting Ti to help
rewind the ti for the induvial Ascalor. Rid him of the ti he was poisoned and return him to his forr state before that." Adrian shouted and his request has been heard.
The Stele of Everlasting Ti shot out from his chest and glowed. Elder Danaya saw the relic and could only be amazed by its sheer power. It is not only her who felt the power of the relic as everyone in the Paradox Planes did.
The Stele of Everlasting Ti burst out into millions of particles. Adrian thought that he failed until he saw what really happened. Ti has stopped moving except for him as he saw Elder Danaya not blinking even once.
The ti in the Paradox Planes is not the only thing affected as all the ti in the universe is put to a stop. The only ones that are not affected are demons with perfect control of ti or beings that ti cannot control. One such being is in the fallen imperial capital and noticed the surge of temporal power in the world.
If there is not a barrier restricting the dark god's movents then it might have used the frozen ti to its advantage. Unfortunately, the barrier that is holding it back is made from the power of gods which is why it cannot use the frozen ti to its benefit. The dark god did not idle as it sent out a powerful warrior it created to find out the source of the disturbance, but it got frozen in ti as well despite having the blessing of a god.
Koronn, who is in a eting with the delegates of the other races, noticed that ti suddenly stopped. He imdiately disappeared from his location and appeared inside of Ascalor's ho. He noticed the power behind this magic as even the Daemos froze which should not have happened.
Koronn then saw a giant figure appear above the Paradox Planes. It was none other than the Ultima Sphinx hovering above the Paradox Planes. It threw its gigantic spear above it and it suddenly beca a large clock hand.
A giant clock is also summoned when it did this and this clock expanded until it reached the end of the universe. The Ultima Sphinx then uttered words that seed absolute.
"Reverse the ti to undo what has been done. Reverse the flow even though it is sothing that must not be done. The words of the Guardian of the Stele of Everlasting are absolute. Let ti move backward for this individual.
Let it be so that the ti that has passed for him was but a dream and not a reality. Even the gods could not undo what the Stele of Everlasting Ti has done. It is absolute for ti is absolute." The Ultima Sphinx stated with its two simultaneous voice.
It reverberated throughout the universe as if it is rewriting what has transpired. The only thing that it rewrote is that Ascalor was never afflicted by the poison of the dark god from another dinsion. Adrian could see that Ascalor's pained face started to get better, and the signs of the poisons disappeared.
"The deal has been delivered and the promised kept. To the Champion Equinox, the guardian of the Stele of Everlasting Ti will be forever grateful. If fate brings you once more to us, then you will no longer be tested for being worthy. Farewell great benefactor." The Ultima Sphinx stated.
The Ultima Sphinx then retracted the huge clock it spread throughout the universe and retrieved its spear. Ti once again flowed, and the people could now move again. The Daemos saw the Ultima Sphinx hovering above the Paradox Planes and the guards started to mobilize.
The Ultima Sphinx did not stay long as it waved its spear and tear in reality opened to which it jumped in. The guards heaved a sigh of relief as they knew they cannot take down that behemoth with the elders. Koronn's eyes are filled with imnse admiration for the powerful temporal magic that he just witnessed. He even cried a little to show his deep appreciation for it.
Koronn himself can stop ti but it would be more synonymous to slowing ti to a vast degree. He imdiately rushed to Ascalor's room to see if the effect of the relic is effective. Even he got shocked that Ascalor is totally fine like the ti before he left to hunt the Star Spawn.
Koronn even noticed that there is no lingering effect of temporal magic from Ascalor. As if what the Ultima Sphinx is the truth that it would be as if it never happened. It managed to rewrite phenona to the point that the Gods of Ti will not co to smite Ascalor from existence.
"Amazing!" Koronn stated as he finally had an epiphany on how he would progress to the next level.
