Chapter 729: "Freezing Time"
Chapter 729: “Freezing Time”
In the original, Chronos’s contracted human should have died from his fiancé’s betrayal, but then, he stubbornly tried to save his contracted human.
Well, the fact that he could turn back time and even create a parallel world was also thanks to a certain fairy of space who also thought that killing the human favored by the fairies was a big calamity.
Not to mention that Chronos loved Finley so much that he asked Aetheria, the fairy of space, to agree to his big move.
Alas, the price he had to pay to create such a big move was to become an ordinary fairy after his contracted human passed away in the future.
The same goes for Aetheria.
Their power would be passed down to another fairy.
As for the existence of a parallel world…it wasn’t actually the first time it happened, there were many parallel world versions before the one he unknowingly created.
But, well…let’s think too much about these parallel worlds.
Chronos’s mind only strayed for a while before he snapped back to reality. He kneaded his temple and sighed.
‘Since I have violated the rule as a fairy of time…it doesn’t matter if I violate it once more.’
It was taboo to use the power of time unless it was to help one’s contracted human in a matter of life and death.
Of course, one could still use the power of time if it was only a trivial case, such as freezing time for two seconds or less than a minute.
But what Chronos would do now is to freeze the time until Ainsley arrived.
He didn’t know when she would arrive and when these people would be cured, so he was undoubtedly using a great amount of his time-manipulation power.
‘If not for that stinky boy’s plea, I wouldn’t have agreed!’
Chronos recalled Finley’s reaction when he received a call from his father related to the Sloan Family.
At that time, Finley was already admitted to the Elton Academy ahead of time due to his special identity as the fairy of time’s contractor. He’s also a genius that many teachers liked.
The boy was already studying at the academy, trying to graduate early while making many connections with the students inside the Academy– especially the non-human students.
Who would have known that he got that phone call late at night? The boy’s face paled, and he almost staggered.
“Are you for real, dad?! This– what can we do to help them? Ain is our sworn ally. We have to help her!”
Finley actually knew that even a sworn ally wouldn’t need to help each other to that extent. But he couldn’t help but want to help his friend, Ainsley.
That baby was a variable that didn’t exist in his previous life. She might be the key to breaking his ill fate.
Thus, he subconsciously thought that if the baby died, he would also repeat his fate in his previous life.
Really…Blair was such an abnormal being that even Finley thought she shouldn’t have existed in this world. Her ability to attract many strong beings is just absurd.
If Finley knew that Blair was a transmigrator and that after she killed Finley, the Omniscient Keepers tried to take her soul to prevent her from disturbing the world’s peace, he would have been shocked to the bone.
Of course, Ainsley, another transmigrator, was also included in the list of dangerous beings…
But the Keepers acted on the baby first because she’s a relatively new transmigrator compared to Blair, who had been in this world for years, and the Keepers still couldn’t take her soul.
Her soul is too strong, and her Aretha Family wasn’t that easy to provoke.
Back to the virus case, Finley expressed his wish to help, and Evan nodded without a word.
“You don’t need to come back. Just let Chronos go to the Sloan Family Mansion and stop the time there until Ainsley comes back to the mansion or until they can find the cure.”
Evan believed that Ainsley already had a way to find the cure. She only needed time.
Finley immediately agreed.
“Okay, Chronos can go alone. Two days are enough to arrive at the Sloan Mansion.”
The island where the Elton Academy was located was naturally far away from the human continent, not to mention the Sloan Family’s mansion.
Even when Chronos could fly, it would take a week or more to arrive.
However, Chronos could manipulate time…including his time. He could shorten the 7-day travel period to only two days!
Sounded weird, indeed, but it worked. Or he could find Aetheria and ask her to teleport him to the human continent.
Thus, two days were enough.
That’s how Chronos arrived before Ainsley and immediately froze the time around the Sloan Family’s mansion.
His power made it possible that those outside of the field wouldn’t notice anything wrong unless they stepped into the field, which he wouldn’t allow.
And that inside wouldn’t know that time stopped for them.
When the time flowed normally again, they would only feel that a second had just passed by when in fact, it had been hours or days.
Ainsley didn’t know that someone was helping her to prolong her members’ lives by freezing their time.
She only knew that they would arrive late, but when she was about to use the teleportation bead, Zev and the Godfather simultaneously stopped her.
Zev was the first one to react.
[Wait, host! I just glossed over the Sloan Mansion and found that there’s something strange…]
As a system, it was easy to spy on anything and everything but he never told Ainsley because it was the rule.
But he didn’t think that the Sloan Mansion was really in a strange situation!
