Hero of Darkness

The Hero of Time, Anakin Redfield was rooted on the spot, completely speechless and out of his wits as he witnessed Kahn return from the brink of death but also become a completely different person.

"Not only you… but he also returned in time. This shouldn't be possible at all." he said as he looked at the floating specter of the black dragon around Kahn. You did not have the spell or the required materials to come back in time!" exclaimed Anakin, his eyes still terrified while his body shivered.

"My, my… awfully curious now, are we?" spoke the older and the future Kahn.

"Well, since you aided in my travel back in time, I should tell you this much at least." he said and continued.

"Remember how you bragged about having an ace under your sleeve right when I defeated you?

Your biggest mistake was telling me about the forbidden spell given to you by the God of Time and saying to my face about how using your own soul as a sacrifice, you were going back in time to kill me." revealed the future Kahn.

"What you didn't know is that I also had the ability to read memories of the dead. It was something I never revealed to anyone and it helped me know the spell God of Time gave you." he spoke confidently.

"And after knowing it… I talked with the God of Darkness and told him what you said before dying.

As you know, the 3rd aspect of reality that came into existence in Vantrea after Space and Time was Death… aka the God of Darkness himself.

So he told me a method to go back in time before you kill me and change the timeline completely where you have all the advantages in the war against the Demon God." he iterated in a stern voice.

The next, it was the dragon hovering around Kahn who spoke…

"Did you forget who I am, you ignorant child?" he questioned in an admonishing tone.

"Unlike you, Kahn could not use his soul as a sacrifice to go back in time since he wasn't the Hero of Time.

However… he had me." declared the dragon in a majestic tone.

"It was me who used my knowledge and sealed both of us in a space that could not be affected by the laws of time.

And do you know the main ingredient we used for the spell to work?" he spoke in a coy tone.

"It was your own core." revealed the dragon as both he and Kahn smirked shamelessly.

"God of Darkness told us about the Transcendent Rune of Reminiscisene and I using my mastery of the Dimensional Law, carried both of us back in time by sealing ourselves in that rune." he revealed an event of the future.

"And God of Darkness is one of the only few gods such as God of Space and God of Time who can read and detect the change in timeline much before the other Gods.

So he used his powers to send the rune back in time as well." said the Dragon in a domineering tone.

Then Kahn continued in a firm voice…

"I did not know exactly when you were going to go back in time. I didn't even know much about you to begin with.

That's why, the only way I could stop all this was going back to my own beginning since it was the only constant factor no matter which time in the past you went to." "All this time, I have been watching this another version of me while being sealed inside the Transcendent Rune of Reminiscence on his back.

And the only way for me to get unsealed was being touched by you… the original bearer of the spell since your soul signature was the only thing that could activate the spell by God of Time.

So ironically… it was you who brought me back in this timeline." declared Kahn.

"I… I… did what? Does it mean you wouldn't have been able to return had I not targeted you in the first place?

What if someone else killed you… you would be dead for real?" asked the Hero of Time, his heart palpating in anticipation.

"Correct. And just like the last time…

It was your arrogance and superiority complex that brought forth your doom, Gideon." spoke the future Kahn with a benign smile.

"See… You and I are not so different. You're what I call a 'Hero regressed in time'." spoke Kahn and continued in a smug voice.

"Me on the other hand… I regressed myself."

The surroundings turned silent as the Hero of Time absorbed the fact that it was his own ignorance and overconfidence that allowed the future Kahn to come back in time just like him.

But unlike him, Kahn regressed himself in a fashion and time of his choosing… something that even he, the Hero of Time could not do.

"Now… Did you forget what I told you last time, Gideon?

Whether I'm surrounded by millions of strong enemies or facing a single opponent…

No matter the time or the place…

I'm not in danger." spoke future Kahn and declared in a kingly voice…lightsnovel

"I'm the Danger."

----------------

Minutes passed after Anakin aka Gideon, the Hero of Time finally grasped the surprise and accepted the reality in front of him.

That his Archnemesis aka the Hero of Darkness came back in time by using Anakin's own core and the spell given by the God of Time, all because of his stupidity.

"This doesn't change anything! Everything will go the way I planned as long as I kill you in this timeline." declared Anakin, his heart burning with a blazing flame of vengeance.

"Domain of Chronokinesis!" he spoke and soon, the surroundings 35 kilometers region of space was covered in a purple barrier.

However, unlike the current Kahn who instantly died to it, the future Kahn looked unfazed and unaffected.

[Hey, 'Kahn 2.0'. I know you're listening from inside… So let me show you how to deal with abilities and domains related to Time.] he spoke to an entity aka the Kahn of the current timeline who was now in the backseat.

[The reason they are so overpowered is because they can mess with one's perception of time and affect the flow of time of the outside world in a set amount of area.

And because the mind and the body are perceiving time differently, you can't even react properly or see how the enemy attacked or even killed you.] he spoke but received no response.

[You did not see him activating his Domain of Chronokinesis, right? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

It's because he activated it at a different time, in this case… he activated it in the future a dozen minutes later and unlike your knowledge of time, based on how linear it is on Earth… you did not see his domain affecting the past where you hadn't seen him activate it yet.] he explained in details.

[His divine weapon, the Finality of Time freezes the world in a fixed moment and the world energy and the mana present at that moment can continue to exist without the laws of reality affecting them.

As long as his divine weapon is active, the laws of Babylon and the authority of Gods which suppresses everyone to a semi-saint are no longer effective as the world is no longer following the laws of reality in this indefinitely frozen time.

That is why both of you can fight as Saints.] he informed.

[But because his Domain of Chronokinesis is also affecting and messing with the flow of time, I can move irrespective of his Divine Weapon's powers.

And Gideon needs to use it to move himself since his divine weapon also affects him to a degree.

Everything comes at a cost. So he has no choice but to let me move as well inside his domain.] he iterated and kept on explaining.

[And that's where you can use its weakness.

You see… the most powerful weapon against Time is Space.

Since you have already achieved the 3rd enlightenment in the Space Law in this timeline…

You know that True Space is independent of time, mass, and any form of energy. Everything is just temporarily occupying it no matter how long that temporary time is.

So to break the effects of any divine ability related to time or a domain that functions on laws of time… the most effective way is to break the Space itself.

Like this.] declared the future Kahn and in the next moment…

Snap!

Shatter!

He snapped his fingers and the space shattered in the 30-kilometer radius.

Crumble!

Crumble!

Whether it was the fabric of reality in the real world or the black and white world of True Dimension where time was 10 times slower… both planes of space and reality that coexisted together shattered, overlapping each other and creating an unbelievable sight of billions of cracks in reality.

Soon, the flow of time started moving again and the frozen battlefield within Anakin's domain also became free like before.

"Don't be so full of yourself, Salvatore. This time, I will definitely kill you!" bellowed Anakin in rage, his vengeful eyes revealing his hatred.

lightsΝοvel "Do not talk about Death in front of me…" replied future Kahn.

BOOM!!

He quickly activated War Dominance and declared in a tyrannical voice…

"Unless you've died a million times."
