Chapter 839 Limitations
'Oh? Does that mean it can affect the time?' Lothur asked the system with a surprised expression on his face.
[Correct.]
'Could I use it to go back in time?' Lothur asked, imagining that he could manipulate a region of space that would take him back to when the Diamond-grade Soul Bone was destroyed right before his eyes.
[No. That would be impossible. The most the Space Watch can do is to speed up or slow down the passage of time within the region of space it created. While inside it, one would have the experience of living for years, while outside it, days or weeks would have passed.
The opposite could also happen, slowing down the passage of time within such a spatial area. In a sense, this could take the person inside that region into the future.
Time travel to the future is possible. But, to the past, it's impossible. Only the Time Crystal can do that.]
'Is there a time crystal? Can I use it to go back to when I lost the Diamond-grade Soul Bone?' His eyes sparkled.
[No. The time crystal can be used to manipulate time for a few hours, maybe days, depending on the power of the user. But it has many limitations.
Considering the problems that could arise from traveling back in time, which could even destroy the entire universe, the laws of time are mighty in limiting this kind of distortion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe law of time is the most powerful, and not even the hypothetical level 27 cultivator could manipulate it to travel back in time indefinitely.]
'What a shame...' Lothur lamented, but not finding it the least bit odd.
Going into the future would not cause any paradoxes or problems that would be difficult to understand. But when traveling to the past, there could be two of the same being and infinite possibilities for problems that could bring chaos to the world.
Natural laws had their rules, and in such a situation, things would surely occur in a way that had never been seen before.
Imagining what would happen if there were two of him at the same time. Lothur did not doubt that a special tribulation would strike one of his versions to correct the disruption that two identical existences would cause.
But even if going back in time was a bad idea, it was a shame that he couldn't try to retrieve the Diamond-grade Soul Bone.
Lothur then put the watch on one of his wrists before looking at something else that had caught his eye in this underground part of the Castle of Shadows.
Looking at a box on top of a 2-meter-high pillar, Lothur opened it and took out what was inside, a map.
Looking at the map, he immediately narrowed his eyes and saw that it was of no use in Concordia.
'Is this a map of the sea?' He asked himself, seeing on the yellowish, rectangular paper a large number of small islands and markings of territories.
Looking more closely, he realized that this was the Eastern Sea since the island he was currently on was marked on the westernmost side of the map.
Looking at the easternmost side, Lothur spent a minute trying to understand what some stripes there, that looked like waves running from north to south, dividing that small part of the map, were.
But from the illustration, anyone analyzing this map would immediately think the same thing as Lothur.
'You mean there's something beyond it, huh? But there's no marker here... That must be the most extreme point where living beings have been and managed to return.' He imagined as he looked at the waves dividing the map. 'This must be the point of no return, where legends say that once you cross it, you will never return.'
"It seems that the demons and spectres have been exploring the sea. They are truly preparing to accomplish the Demon Emperor's goals!" Lothur muttered as he placed the map in his spatial ring.
'Time to go. I'll take care of these things in the future.' He thought as he looked at the watch on one of his wrists, smiling as he looked at the thing.
'Let's see where I can go.' Thinking of Peters City, he immediately directed some of his energy into the device, causing it to emit a blue glow and vibrate the space around him.
What looked like a space cloud appeared around his body, completely covering him in a second and then disappearing as if nothing had happened.
Unlike normal means of distorting space, the Space Watch could do this perfectly without even leaving a trace that someone had manipulated space there!
...
In the blink of an eye, Lothur arrived in Peters City, appearing over his city about 300 meters above the tallest building in the area.
Arriving there, he smiled at his new device's effectiveness before looking with interest at this city he hadn't seen in several weeks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Level 24, huh?' He looked in Mabel's direction, seeing that this woman had taken advantage of the Soul Bones he had sent to his powers.
Mabel was currently at level 24 in soul and body cultivation, having reached 8 Soul Bones.
But she wasn't the only local Sage. Among Lothur's allies in the Ritter Motor Company, another 6 Sages had appeared. Two of them were from the Becker family, Elke's parents, but there was also one from the Koch family, another from the Morning Star Academy, someone from the Frost family, and a subordinate from House Ritter.
Counting the Sages from the Jansen family, there were currently 8 Sages between levels 22 and 24 in Peters City.
But even if there was someone with a soul power close to Mabel's in this place, no one there could even compare to her.
With a Constitution of nearly 50,000 points, this woman was currently one of the strongest in the world in terms of physical strength!
Only a level 25 Sage could endanger her life right now!
'Impressive.' Lothur laughed when he saw that it was Mabel who had benefited the most.
But he was satisfied. 'This is good. At this level, no one will dare act against my company, even if the strongest Sages on the continent already know of my origin.'
Lothur was sure that his identity had already been revealed. After all, Rebecca had used her powers without hiding during the last confrontation against members of the coalition hunting him.
The Ancient Poison Body was very rare, so it would only be a matter of time before everyone knew the origin of him and his women.
In any case, now that the Ritter Motor Company had so many Sages, even if that happened, no one else would be able to stop the company's progress!
'Well, as far as I can see, the Koch family is already spying on Lenz and Asken while new factories are being built.' He smiled as he quickly scanned the company reports. 'Soon, the whole continent will be dominated by the Ritter Motor Company!'
He was pleased and thought about how his company would be useful in the fight against the demons when the war started.
With that in mind, he decided to set off, this time in the direction of a group of demons he had just sensed in Asken!
