God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

I moved towards William who just looked at me as if he had a thousand questions in his mind but,

"I will answer as we travel. Get in the car," I spoke as I observed him with quiet but serious eyes.

He gulped and nodded before he hurriedly hopped in the car while I did too.

The car drove and from the rear view mirror, I saw Jeff and the others coming out of the building one by one, trying to examine what had transpired outside. Though my eyes shifted its gaze from them to the front where William was driving towards.

"What do you want to know, first?" I asked William. Even though he is my brother, I wasn't going to tell him about System and stuff, but as far as other things goes, I don't mind him knowing about it. He is one of the few people I trust.

"Why hide the power? Even earlier you could have just killed that zombie yet you let it go. Why?" Was the first question he asked.

"Because I wanted to see your capabilities first. If that zombie was really a threat, I would have killed it back then too," I answered him truthfully

"Well... I guess, you really do a lot of thinking work that I can't understand... Well, how long have you been this powerful?" he asked again and I calculated a little before speaking,

"I just got an upgrade of sorts earlier in the morning today. Before that I was comparatively weak," I answered and he nodded,

"That's the reason you didn't come early to help me out?"

I nodded at him affirming his question before he smiled and spoke,"well. I guess you didn't have much choice then. So did you try finding out about mom and dad or did you just come directly for me?"

"To you," I answered and his smile brightened a little before he spoke,"that's not fair though. You should have saved mom and dad first. They should always be our priority."

"Mom and Dad won't agree with you. Despite being strong and stuff, you are the most idiotic among the family. Even among our cousins, your IQ is the lowest. Of course, I was going to save you first... though it doesn't seem like you exactly need it," I spoke as I sighed before looking at him.

This idiotic brother of mine... normally one would start questioning about the strangeness of my power, be skeptical or even be careful in dealing with me but here we are talking as if everything is normal.

'But I guess, I am lucky he is like this,' a smile formed on my face as I peeked at him and a bit creeped out, he spoke,"Hey, stop calling me an idiot. And why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing," I sighed before pondering a little as I spoke,

"So who is Arianna? She seems pretty close to you."

"A classmate of mine. Sweet girl. She helped everyone in the classroom even before," William spoke as he looked at the front. From William's expression it didn't seem like he was in love or something.

On the inside, I sighed as I was glad my brother wasn't trapped in the web of some b*tch. Back then I read bits of her Status using the [Inspect] Skill and found that she was trying to get into my brother's pants before trying to be the 'Queen' of the Kingdom that my brother would supposedly 'build' for her.

Well, since she and my brother aren't connected, I can deal with her without much problems.

"That reminds me... I am happy for you brother," William spoke out of nowhere and I smiled as I looked at him.

"I guess so," I spoke with a bit of a nostalgic gaze before turning to the front.

"We are here," he then suddenly spoke as I looked at a wide spread building at a distance which was infested with vines from all around.

Looking at the building, it seemed like that building had aged decades with leaves and branches covering most of it. And down below at the ground I saw about thousands of zombies walking towards that laboratory.

William's eyes opened up a little as they turned red all of a sudden before he stopped the car about a hundred meters away from the horde.

"What happened?" I asked with a serious face and he gulped before speaking,"brother... something inside that building is... it's alive and... it's growing. It's something very sinister..."

Hearing his words, I closed my eyes for a few moments as I realized a piece of information that I misinterpreted before.

'I guess it wasn't the nightcrawlers but the thing on the inside... ?' I thought before confirming one of my doubts.

"Did you go to search for dad yesterday night?" I asked and he looked at me and nodded.

"All right. I guess, your powers aren't as versatile as Alex's and Jeff's," I made that conclusion as William, though had the power to sense other beings, I guess it's limited to a certain distance or something.

Otherwise, he too would have sensed the thing last time as well. After all, the location matches more or less.

I then got out of the car as I spoke,"let's go. Show me around the place. It's not like everyday I come to visit you these days," with a bit of a smile as he looked at me with a bit of wide-eyed expression before he got out of the car.

His eyes were still shaking, and so were his feet as he was a bit afraid of walking towards that place but then he clenched his fist, and looked at the laboratory with a determined face before he nodded.

Then I began walking towards the laboratory, as William walked beside him. The more we walked the more William's gaze turned grave.

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

Activating my ability, I soon began killing all the zombies present at a rapid speed as I used the knife to slash through the zombies as if I was slicing melted butter.

Hundreds of notifications ran through the System, but I ignored it before I finally killed almost all the zombies on my way to the laboratory gate. And once I was done,

'How long till I am attacked?'

[50 minutes: 45 seconds]

'Without my time slowing skills, I guess that's about 30 seconds?' I thought as I undid my skill before turning to William and speaking,

"Let's go."

His eyes shook for a few seconds before he nodded and walked behind me. His eyes were still shaking and soon... I saw his eyes turning blood red. All over his retina, pupil, etc, his entire eyes turned red before I saw him calm down a little as he spoke,

"It's better now. Let's go brother."
