The Physical River of Time

When Kronos opened his eyes again, he sensed that the world was different.

The core ability of the Hermit Pathway has always been one's own eyes, the Eyes of Mystery Prying.

Having reached the Sequence One level of the Eyes of Mystery Prying, one has completely acquired authority that is no less than the so-called Omniscience of the White Tower Pathway.

Under the Eyes of Mystery Prying, there is no longer any mysterious knowledge that can completely conceal Kronos's secrets.

Under the scrutiny of the Eyes of Mystery Prying, the Knowledge Emperor's exclusive abilities have been further enhanced.

The Knowledge Emperor possesses only one unique power. "Dominion."

He does not Dominion people, but over knowledge; all knowledge that he knows and understands will be subject to the Dominion of the Knowledge Emperor.

For example, the representative power of Knowledge Emperor is to use knowledge to overwhelm the minds of his opponents; this is a form of Dominion, using knowledge to impact the minds of others.

No wonder he's called the Knowledge Emperor; at this time, all knowledge in the world will be under the rule of its emperor.

However, one thing is certain: this emperor must use his Eyes of Mystery Prying to gradually conquer this knowledge.

Without much thought, Kronos understood the Knowledge Emperor's principle of assimilation.

By using the name of the emperor to Dominion more knowledge, this is the method of assimilation for the Knowledge Emperor.

No wonder Emperor Roselle would create Blasphemy Card!

Analysis the knowledge on the Blasphemy Slate, and using that knowledge as a foundation to create one's own means of Dominion knowledge—this is the purest way to digest the Potion.

Since that's how it should be, then Kronos should do the same afterward.

Unfortunately, Kronos had already obtained the First Blasphemy Slate, but to avoid trouble, he chose to hand it over to Amon.

Once it's given to Amon, getting it back will be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, there's more than one Blasphemy Slate in the world; Adam had another one, didn't he?

Moreover, isn't the Second Blasphemy Slate more detailed than the first, even including knowledge beyond the realm of True God? So clearly, the Second Blasphemy Slate is the better choice.

Since Emperor Roselle was able to see the Second Blasphemy Slate by joining the Twilight Hermit Order, he should be able to do the same.

Adam had invited him before, but he hadn't accepted because he had too many concerns.

Adam has helped me so much during this time, and he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions.

Furthermore, having already advanced to Sequence One, while I wouldn't dare say I could contend with Adam, who had become a god, I could at least be considered to have some ability to protect myself.

So joining the Twilight Hermit Order might actually be worth considering, simply to prepare for the future consumption of Potion.

As for the title of emperor, it seems to have some effect, at least in terms of speeding up the digestion process.

It seems I really should consider scheming for the title of emperor, just to finish digesting Sequence One as quickly as possible.

However, this is something worth considering.

Although Loen was in control of the situation, seizing power was no easy task.

Overthrowing or wiping out the Augustus Family was not difficult, but securing the throne for oneself was no easy task.

At that point, let alone the Augustus Family and the forces of other countries, even the Negan and Levett Family might not be willing to support them.

If you don't focus on Loen, there are other options.

The countries on the Northern Continent are out of the question. Even the South-Central Nations have the support of the Church of Knowledge, so it's not so easy for them to change dynasties.

However, besides the Northern Continent, there is another country in this world, namely the Pirate Duchy of Nast.

At the time, it was probably to appease Nast that the various powers presupposed that he establish his own Pirate Duchy.

Nast was also quite sensible; he established the duchy merely for his own advancement and did not deliberately expand his influence. It was just a group of Pirate causing minor trouble at sea.

Even if it's just a small-scale operation, it's still a country recognized by the world, albeit a rather small one, just a principality.

With just a slight elevation, from a duchy to the Kingdom, the leader of the country could then be loosely called an emperor.

In any case, Kronos had no interest in conquering the world, so this kind of leisurely state was quite suitable for him.

Subduing Nast and establishing the Ghost Empire as the capital would be a suitable way to upgrade the duchy to the Kingdom.

It's just a pity for Nast; all the foundation he's built over so many years might be usurped by Kronos.

Kronos believed that as long as Nast was sensible, he could retain Nast's title of Duke and designate the Black Emperor as his fiefdom, which should not affect his ability to digest the Potion. This was quite merciful.

To Kronos's thoughtfulness, Nast could only say, "Thank you!"

After examining the power of the Knowledge Emperor, Kronos began to examine the Power of Time.

He has reached Sequence One, and he has completely absorbed all the Power of Time left behind by the Time Stone.

After absorbing it all, Kronos sensed the Power of Time at the Sequence One level, which was essentially the purest Authority of Time.

As the first and only person in the world to wield the Power of Time, Kronos can clearly sense the River of Time that runs through the entire world through the power of the Authority of Time.

The River of Time summoned in Sequence Two is merely a phantom of this river.

The true River of Time is beyond his current power to control.

This River of Time did not originally exist in this world; it was the arrival of the Time Stone that created this miracle of a complete timeline.

Given the Time Stone's status in the Marvel Universe, even if it's slightly weaker than the Great Old One, it's definitely not weaker than the Sefirah.

However, the power it has consistently displayed has not seemed particularly impressive, precisely because it has focused more of its efforts on shaping a new authority.

Only then was Kronos able to experience the power of the Time Stone through the power of the Time Authority of Time.

However, with the power of the Authority of Time, Kronos can enter the River of Time and actually do some small things in the past and future, possessing the ability to change the past and future.

However, Kronos could clearly sense that these were merely insignificant actions; otherwise, the time-correcting power would have completely annihilated him.

The term "small actions" doesn't mean minor changes, but rather understanding which changes have little impact and which changes will affect the entire world.

Only those matters with minimal impact are things that Kronos can currently address.

But how do we make that judgment? Perhaps it requires a certain element of Fate.

Is this the deal Ouroboros was referring to?

Time itself is a powerful force, but to perfectly control it, one needs the help of Fate.

These two powers complement each other and will possess unparalleled strength.

After figuring this out, Kronos felt an urge to go and make a trade right now and see just how powerful he could become.

However, after hesitating for a while, Kronos temporarily abandoned the idea.

It's too early now. I should wait until I've truly experienced the Power of Time before considering anything further.

After examining his New Life, Kronos dispelled the Concealment Domain, erased Hermes's appearance, and revealed his identity as "Mr. Fate".

The so-called revelation of his identity was nothing more than wearing Death God Mask, because Klein had seen this image before, and more than once.

Klein arrived at the Giant King’s Court with the people from the farthest Moon City, and the first thing he saw was Kronos wearing Mask.

He strode forward, bowed to Kronos, and said, "Mr. Fate, you've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Derrick hurriedly came forward to bow, for he had never met Mr. Fate before.

Kronos smiled and said, "No need for such formalities, I'm just here to take you away."

"If I'm not there, you won't be able to control the Ghost Empire."

Actually, it's not that bad. If Klein Advancing to Angel realm first, he would still be able to control the Ghost Empire with the power of Angel.

However, the people of the Forsaken Land of the Gods are still in the Forsaken Land of the Gods and have not truly returned to the world, so his Ritual is not yet complete.

Upon hearing Kronos's words, Derrick excitedly asked, "Then can we leave now?"

Kronos didn't speak, but turned to look at Klein.

Kronos knew nothing about this Forsaken Land of the Gods, so he didn't know if everyone had already arrived at the Giant King’s Court.

Klein thought for a moment, then said, "All the cities I know of have been moved; they should all be here now."

Now that it's all healed, we can leave. Kronos is tired of staying here and should go home.

Having already advanced to Sequence One, and with the help of the Authority of Time, even if True God were to divine in person, he wouldn't be able to obtain any Information from him. Only then could he be considered completely safe.

So he should go back.

Since that's the case, Kronos gently reached out, and the Ghost Empire, which resembled a city, slowly sailed towards them.

Using the power of Force Field, Kronos constructed an invisible bridge between the two groups, allowing these people to board the ship.

Under the guidance of the people of City of Silver, the people of the Forsaken Land of the Gods headed towards the Ghost Empire.

Old Fan wasn't on the Ghost Empire at this time, because there wasn't a single living person on it, so he went to the Iron Anchor to meet up with his students.

At this time, only Skeleton Soldier patrolled the Above the Ghost Empire.

For someone accustomed to the various Monster of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, these Skeleton Soldier were nothing unusual; in fact, they were quite handsome.

Therefore, they were all able to adapt to the environment here.

After everyone had boarded the ship, Kronos landed at the bow, next to Captain of the Guards Kaust.

Under Kronos's control, the Ghost Empire sailed across the seas toward the Rorsted Islands.

With Kronos's impetus, the Ghost Empire's speed has increased dramatically, and it won't be long before they reach the Rorsted Islands.

After the Ghost Empire left the Forsaken Land of the Gods, these remnants of the world, forgotten for thousands of years, were finally back in the world.

Therefore, Klein's Ritual was thus completely completed.

So Klein took the initiative to find Kronos and asked to leave. Although he didn't mention the promotion, Kronos still guessed it.

Kronos naturally had no reason to refuse such a request.

Besides, it's a good thing that Klein is getting stronger, after all, he's his ally.

At this point, Kronos's way of thinking had synchronized with Amanises and Adam. Anyone who didn't have any conflict with him could become an ally, and they would face the Apocalypse together.

Klein teleported away, leaving only Kronos and the people of the Forsaken Land of the Gods in the Ghost Empire.

Kronos had little to say to these people, and they dared not approach Kronos.

According to Derrick of City of Silver, this Mr. Fate is an exceptionally powerful being, even more powerful than the King of Angel under the Throne of God.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare approach such a powerful person casually.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Ghost Empire began to approach Bayam.

Because of the previous war, Klein had Danitz unite the local resistance forces and establish an independent territory for them to govern themselves.

Therefore, Bayam became a private plot of land for our Mr. Fool.

Fearing that the Ghost Empire's approach to Bayam would cause panic, Klein specifically instructed Danitz to arrange for ships to come to the nearby waters to provide support.

After transporting all of them to Bayam, Kronos's mission was considered complete.

Instead of staying on the ship, he let the Ghost Empire continue to wander before traveling through the Spirit World to the Midseashire.

I haven't been back for a while, so I need to go home first to check on things and understand what's going on so I can know what to do next.

Whether facing the Loen Kingdom, the Church of the Evernight Goddess, or the Church of Steam and Machinery, Kronos must have a suitable plan, otherwise all his planning over the years will have been in vain.

Upon returning to the Argel Family Manor, Kronos did not find his relatives at home.

After making some inquiries, I learned that since the outbreak of the war, the Marquis Argel had been living in the military camp and rarely returned.

His mother and Younger Sister moved to Constant City, where it was safer, given the chaos of war.

With that in mind, Kronos went to the base of the Sonia Sea Fleet to find Marquis Argel.

The defenses here are still very tight, after all, it has been through so much war, but trying to stop Kronos is still wishful thinking.
