Chapter 436
Finally…
[You have used the insignia ‘Time Reversal.’]
[Would you like to travel back in time?]
[Please select a date.]
I stated, “One day ago from now.”
I felt as if all my surroundings were being sucked into a single spot. Then, pop! A flash of light burst before my eyes.
***
I was inside a tent, and I could hear unfamiliar voices in the Dragorin language. I tried to remember and realized where I was. It was the campsite of the expedition team chasing the Great White’s tomb. At this point in time, I was there.
[Name: Incarnation Na Seon-Hu
Level: 641 (Overlord) Second Round]
All my abilities and items were back as they were at this point in time, but one area was different. The figure for Power! I had repeatedly opened and closed the gates to find the old bastard. Even though I had traveled back in time, it remained unchanged.
It was a new fact. Power existed in an area that was not affected by the time reversal.
“...”
I didn’t know if it was something that only applied to me, who caused the time reversal, or whether it was something applied to all transcendent beings with Power. However, all I knew was that it was important because Doom Entegasto could notice that time had been reversed.
So far, it seemed likely that it only applied to me. This wasn’t the first time that the time had been reversed. After all, It had happened before when I received the insignia from the Old One in the past.
Excluding Doom Kaos and the Old One, I would have encountered the ‘event of time reversal’ before I obtained the insignia if other transcendent beings could have noticed it. They would have tried finding an individual, who traveled back in time, or shown an awareness of me.
However, they had never done so. The insignia I used now was nothing more than a copy made from the blueprint, not modified to suit my taste. If I had mastered it to the level where I could mimic and create something new, then I would have known beforehand that there were restrictions on Power.
Therefore, it would have been impossible for the Old One to remove such restrictions. In conclusion, the most credible hypothesis was… that the Power of the being who led the time travel was not affected by the time reversal. That was it.
***
The copied Time Reversal insignia had one more restriction aside from the Power figure. The timeframe that could be reversed was limited to one day.
However, with my current ability, I could copy and paste another insignia and travel back in one more day. I could repeat this endlessly.
If I repeated this process, I could go back to the very beginning, where I could create the insignia nonstop. That was up to the timeframe where my Sense reached the Ender section.
The reason why I couldn’t go back beyond that was simple. The minimum condition for manipulating the internal area was having the Sense of the Ender section.
However, by the time I got to that period, the total amount of Mana I could draw out would be drastically lower than now. The restriction of the time of one day would narrow down to a few hours. There would be no occasion where I could go all the way back to the Stage of Advent.
The present was the standard. If a crisis hit me or my surroundings from now on, then I would turn back in time. The remaining question was to what extent the Old One and Doom Kaos could intervene in this.
I ended my analysis there. Yeon-Hee was on the continent of the orcs at the moment. Around this time tomorrow, Seong-Il would come running to me to deliver the news of her death. In roughly 12 hours, Yeon-Hee would be attacked by the bastard. Currently, the bastard was waiting for that time while fulfilling Doom Kaos’s orders in the spirit realm.
It, of course, didn’t know what I was doing. All those messages the bastard sent now were for the effect of delivering Doom Kaos’s words. If I went to Yeon-Hee like this, then neither the bastard nor Entegasto would show any reaction.
The bastard’s plan was thus:
[First, go back in time.]
[Second, enter Lu-neah’s memory warehouse.]
[Third, give a hint about what is happening to Lu-neah who will be surprised.]
[Fourth, reveal all the crimes of Entegasto to Doom Kaos with Lu-neah.]
[Fifth, take the last volume of the Book of Death.]
[Sixth, command Lu-neah as much as you want.]
[Seventh, Doom Man’s priestess will have a happy ending without any harm~ ٩(๑^o^๑)۶ ]
But that was my last resort. For now, I stood still without opening a gate to Yeon-Hee. Doom Kaos and the Old One might have known that time had been reversed by a day. Therefore, I was waiting for Doom Kaos’s call, but it was quiet.
It was honestly painful to wait in such silence. My mind kept wavering. I debated if the idea that it could have been better to do whatever the bastard wanted and open the gate to its mainland first, or…
Anyway, time passed by without a call from Doom Kaos. About ten minutes later, I opened a gate in the direction where Yeon-Hee was as I had been thinking all along. Even then, I was concerned about whether I was doing the right thing.
[You have used Gate Formation.]
When I passed through the gate, a land stained with blood unfolded. The bodies of slaughtered orcs were scattered all around, and it didn’t seem long since the battle had ended. Yeon-Hee was alone and was sprinting toward the next flock.
It was the scene that I had been visualizing for a long time. She was full of vitality, without a single biosensor line monitoring her.
Seeing her like that, I found myself trapped in a prison of agony. I had made a wrong decision. My plan was asking too much of her. But, but…
As long as I didn’t forcibly stop her from engaging in battle, there was a high probability that the same thing would happen again. It was directly linked to her safety. Entegasto was not the end as Doom Arukuda would soon start to hold me in check. If Yeon-Hee faced death again and I traveled back in time again, would the pain I suffered then really be nothing? No, no…
When my heart was pounding unstably, Yeon-Hee stopped. I could see her impassive and indifferent face turning toward me. By the time she faced me straight on, a smile spread across her lips. Although her smile was smeared with blood, the corners of her lips rose clearly. Her slightly exposed teeth were clean, and her eyes were shining.
Nonetheless, that smile quickly faded away. By the time she had arrived in front of me, her face was stiffened. She asked, looking straight at me, “What is going on?”
I stated, “Woo Yeon-Hee.”
“Why are you so serious? What on earth…”
I continued, “I don’t want to restrain you.”
“What? That’s it? I thought something terrible happened. We already talked about this. I will be clear, but no, I don’t like it. I am your corps’s priestess. I am the strongest amongst all the Awakened except you. It is such a waste to tell me to stay only on the mainland.”
“...”
“Please don’t forget. Although I am your lover, I am an Awakened too. There is no life for me now on the mainland. If I have to think about life on the mainland…then…it will be after this war is over.”
“...”
“I am Mary. The Bitch. Do you think the orcs can threaten me? Don’t worry. If anything happens, I will use the returning stone immediately. But who blabbed to you that I am here? Is it Seong-Il? Ah, this guy.”
I stated again, “It was the same before, and it is the same now. I don’t want to restrain you.”
“Then, is it a different issue?” she asked.
I said, “You will die today. I traveled back in time from tomorrow.”
“...What?”
I smiled bitterly. “First, look at my memories.”
***
Memories created in the mental world couldn’t be seen, so the memories that Yeon-Hee could see were only from two time zones. It was only from the moment just before I entered the mental world with the bastard and after I returned from that.
After she saw the memories, she became speechless. There was extreme regret in her eyes as she stared at me. Even if I didn’t have mental attributes, I could certainly feel her emotion. It seemed like she was also moved. She asked with a trembling voice, “How long…how long did you spend in the mental world?”
I shook my head. “I never kept track.”
I continued, “The bastard couldn’t stand it and was on the verge of dying. Even though it was a Demon King.”
I smiled grimly. “From the start, the bastard appeared with injuries all over it.”
She smiled weakly. “But still.”
I added, “You caused major damage to it. I couldn’t see the mental battle with my eyes, but you seemed to have fought against it with an equivalent strength to it.”
The most charming part I found about Yeon-Hee was the wrinkle on her nose when she smiled. However, right now, the wrinkle was spreading from her nose to her cheeks. Her murderous intent wriggled intensely before it quickly subsided.
She finally said, “I am sorry. This is all…because I failed to kill that fly.”
I reassured her, “No. Thanks to you, I was able to obtain the power of time reversal.”
Thinking about the pain she must have suffered when she died made my heart ache. Just because I turned back time didn’t mean that the incident had disappeared from my memories.
“Seon-Hu…how long did you stay there? How could you obtain the Time Reversal insignia…? It is impossible to do so unless you spend years there.”
Yeon-Hee buried her face in her hands as she couldn’t finish. I held her shaking body and replied, “It was not too bad. There was never a dull moment. Really. Look at me.”
Her eyes were bloodshot.
“Woo Yeon-Hee. You are such a big help. As you can see, you are the only one here. To do something like this, thousands of Awakened should have been here. This is more than enough. But from now on…”
She interrupted, “Okay.”
I hadn’t even finished what I was saying.
“Okay.”
I knew this would happen. Asking about her intentions had no value in this situation. It was worthless, except to use it as an excuse for myself when something went wrong. I thought I needed to take responsibility for everything that happened afterward.
“From now on, I’d like you to help me in the same vicinity of me.”

[Lunea’s Light has been removed.]
“If you use this, your mental power will be enhanced.”
Yeon-Hee stared blankly at what I offered. Then she soon started nodding as if she understood my intention. She stopped, then said in a voice filled with deep resentment, “When will that asshole attack me?”
I thought and responded, “Around eleven hours and forty minutes from now.”
“Then, that must be the time that the bastard has before it dies. Don’t worry. I will kill it this time. Thanks for the chance. If not, then I would have…”
Yeon-Hee couldn’t finish. When her voice scattered, the accessory was in her hands.
I shook my head. “No, killing the bastard shouldn’t be done here.”
“Huh?” She looked bewildered.
I stated, “At the Demon Kings’ meeting.”
“At the Demon Kings’ meeting?” she asked.
“When the bastard is of no use, Doom Kaos will need one more king. You are going to challenge its position of Doom today.”

All my abilities and items were back as they were at this point in time, but one area was different. The figure for Power! I had repeatedly opened and closed the gates to find the old bastard. Even though I had traveled back in time, it remained unchanged.
It was a new fact. Power existed in an area that was not affected by the time reversal.
