Location- Sky Blossom City, Privilege Restaurant

"Diana, book a private box for us. I need a quiet place to think." About the world's time regression, I had too many thoughts that I had to organize right away, and it couldn't wait till we reached the warehouse.

"Yes, boss." Replied Diana, and turning to the nearby staff, she handed her privilege membership card and asked, "lead us to the most expensive box available."

"Madam, VIP box no. 11 is available. Please follow me." The staff led us to the VIP box. And entering the box, she added, "Will you like to order now, or shall I come back a few minutes later?"

"Boss…" Diana turned to her boss only to see him occupy the main couch and lost in deep contemplation. Knowing that her boss would not like to be disturbed, she turned to the staff and said, "We will call you when we are ready to order."

After the events in VIP box no.01, Diana had gained a lot of respect for her boss. She thought he was going to use the southern emperor's name to coerce the head of the Blossom branch medical card association. But what transpired in the VIP box was out of her expectation and blew her mind. The turn of events may seem self-explanatory and straightforward, but she knew they could not be achieved without the bearing and self-confidence displayed by her boss. She doesn't know about anybody else, but she, herself, could not have achieved such an outcome so flawlessly.

"Yes, ma'am." The staff nodded and exited the VIP box. While Diana joined Van and stood in guard. Ready to be of service to her boss when he requires it.

[The Host's Physical body, Calamity soul gem shell, and broken runes have regressed by 10 minutes. While the host's soul and related skills were unaffected by the time disturbance.]

According to Hive AI, even I underwent time regression along with the rest of the world. But my time regression was limited to the physical aspects, and my soul and things related to it were unaffected by time regression.

No, regression is not the correct word for what the world experienced. Regression means going back in time while remembering the original timeline. But, except for me, nobody else seems to realize that the whole world has gone ten minutes back in time.

I could talk to Diana and Van about this, but I was too afraid that the being that was behind the time disturbance earlier would take notice of me if I spoke about it. It was brought to my notice that if a person speaks a demigod's original name, the demigod in question will become aware of them. Therefore demigods are given titles and addressed as such. So, if a being is powerful enough to turn the time back 10 minutes for the whole world, I guess the said being would be sentient enough to give some merit to my fear of it realizing when I speak out about the time disturbance.

Since I was too cautious about talking about it aloud, I asked Van about it through Hive AI, but he had no idea about the time disturbance. It made it clear that nobody other than me even noticed the time disturbance.

"Hive AI, show me last, 30 minutes data for all the calamity daughter gems and check for any possible time disturbance in data." Hive AI followed my commands and showed me the data I asked for. Neither Hive AI nor I could find any anomaly in the data as we did in mine. That's when I realized that salve Hive AI we're not part of my soul but an arrangement of the soul pathways of the calamity parent gem that connected it to the calamity daughter gem. Making slave Hive AI's vulnerable under the effect of the time disturbance, just like the rest of the world.

'Rewind' yes, this was the word I was looking for. The world rewinded. Even my physical body rewinded with it, but my soul was spared. There has to be a reason for this. What makes my soul special? It was not from this world. I was a transmigrator. This was the only reason I could think of why my soul was unaffected. The only way to confirm if my assumption was correct is to ask about it indirectly to another soul that isn't from this world.

Who do I know has a soul that doesn't belong to this world? The list was too short as the otherworldly club only had two members, for now, Corey and I. It seems I will have to find Corey right away. So, I summoned my grimoire to call Corey and ask her to come here asap.

"Call, Identity Loon"

[ The person you're calling is out of reach.]

It seems Corey is still in the dungeon with Susan. But I didn't want to wait, so I contacted Nick Bright, one of my calamity daughter gems, to find out Corey's whereabouts. Knowing Corey, she must have taken Susan to one of the Bright family dungeons, so the Bright family should know their whereabouts.

'Hive AI, connect me to Nick Bright.'

[Connecting to Nick Bright…]

[Hello Master Wyatt, how may I be of service to you.]

"Find which Bright family dungeon Corey took Susan to. I want to meet her asap."

[Right Away Boss]

I patiently waited for Nick as he dug through the Bright family records for the information I needed and noticed that Van and Daina were still standing. As my calamity daughter gem, it was normal for Van to behave like this, but I was surprised to see Diana do the same. If she is trying to earn some good points in my book, then she did it alright.

Since I was too cautious about talking about the time disturbance that transpired earlier, I decided to ask about time-related cards in general to Diana.
