Time magic was the most mysterious field of magic, with infinite possibilities.
In terms of the network structure, every major historical event was like a link point on the web, and different outcomes would lead history in different directions.
For example, the time before Evan appeared and the future of the current time were two completely different outcomes…
“So, there are many possibilities for time? A complex mesh?” said Evan uncertainly, trying to understand Cronos’s words with his own thinking. “Like a prophecy, the future you see, in the time where I don’t exist, this world is finally destroyed?!”
“You don’t understand time magic, Evan. The nature of time determines its uniqueness. Whether it is the past, the present, or the future, they are all three different stages on a timeline,.” Cronos explained. “There exist multiple parallel timelines, and that is not a mistake. However, that is the theory of parallel universes, not time magic, and it is not the field I control.”
“Uniqueness and parallel timelines…” Evan frowned.
“Yes, in the world of this planet, there has always been only one timeline. In the timeline where you are not, the world is indeed destroyed, but this is not a prophecy; it is the upcoming future, the true future,” Cronos continued. “That erroneous timeline was completely discarded when you appeared in this world because of your arrival, and the future after that has also changed. Apart from me, no other creature knows what happened on that timeline. They never happened. A new future is waiting for you to create …”
“Well, now that I am here, what will the future be like then?” Evan took a deep breath and asked.
He began to understand the existence of Cronos. He was in charge of time, could travel in different times and spaces, but was independent of the timeline, working to maintain the timeline from significant deviations, to the direction he wished it to develop …
That was the mighty power of the Titan, a mysterious being said to have created this planet.
“In the future, it will still be destroyed!” Cronos paused and said slowly, “in the current timeline, I still see destruction in the future. Your insignificant resistance cannot stop evil from coming, and all living beings will be eradicated.”
“What?!” Evan looked in surprise, and said quickly, “The future is still destruction …”
What was the significance of his coming to this world if it was still bound to be destroyed in the future?!
Regardless of whether Evan existed or not, the future outcomes of this world would be the same. Why did Cronos want to meet him?!
“Don’t worry, Evan, that’s what I’m going to say next. Although time is unique, the outcomes are not fixed and can be changed! For you now, the future is something that hasn’t happened yet, and there is still a chance to correct the erroneous timeline that has shifted, just like the timeline before you arrived has been discarded!” Cronos stared at Evan with faint silver glimmers in his eyes. “I want you to remember that the most important thing in the uncertain timeline is always the present, not the past nor the future. I believe you can change the future I see. That’s the main reason why I wanted to meet you and why I asked Rowena Ravenclaw to guide you here.”
“How to change it?” said Evan. Things were really getting more and more complicated.
Although there were still many things he didn’t know, it was not good to hear that the world he lived in was about to end.
“First of all, you need to know who our enemies are, or rather, the threat this planet has been facing all along, and what the coming destruction in the distant future is!” Cronos continued, “At this point in time, you should have seen those terrifying monsters …”
“You mean the evil gods?!” asked Evan.
“Yes, but what you’ve seen is not all of those ancient gods. To be precise, they are only a fraction of their projections, attracted here by the spellcasters of the previous magical era, weakened versions of their true selves.”
“The evil gods are only projections!” Evan looked at Cronos, and didn’t know what to think or say.
“Those ancient beings that you call evil gods are of the same essence and origin as us, born at the beginning of this planet. Titans were transformed from the will of the planet. Our duty is to create life and bring hope. The ancient gods from the void are to destroy and corrupt the core of the planet and the life on it…” Cronos continued. “As far as I know, this is not the first planet to suffer their corruption, nor will it be the last.”
There was a moment of silence. This sudden unfolding had shocked him and he was speechless. Those powerful evil gods were only the projections of some ancient creatures homologous to the Titans, attracted by ancient warlocks. Their existence was meant for destruction…
According to what Cronos said, there was not a small number of those ancient powerful and evil monsters.
If they did come to earth, Evan could not see any reason why the world would not be destroyed.
“According to our speculation, there may be even more evil existence in the void, which is the origin of the evil gods,” Cronos looked up at the cosmic stars in the crack of the rock. “There are too many unknowns in the endless universe. In your eyes, my power is extremely strong, but in fact it might be infinitesimal.”contemporary romance
There was another silence. Evan also raised his head, looking at the slowly passing celestial bodies through the crack of the rock and imagining the vastness of the universe.
“I could talk for a long time about the ancient gods from the void, but the circumstances do not permit it! You just need to know that from the beginning of this planet, the Titans have been fighting with them. In the end, we sealed them in the final battle. Their true forms can no longer come, but we have paid a painful price for it.”
“A painful price?” Evan looked at him.
“Yes, after the end of the war, the era of Titans creating the world was over. Some Titans completely disappeared and some like me lost their bodies in that battle. This place is where I once fell …”
“What? You’ve fallen, so now you’re …” Evan looked at Cronos in surprise.
He really didn’t know enough about time magic, but no matter how he shuttled on the timeline; he couldn’t come to a future where he didn’t exist, could he?!
