A deal with Constantin

Last time, although Kronos made many corrections, he still managed to erase all Information about one person, the King of Angel.

This time, although Kronos mainly targeted the Hidden Sage, it didn't have a significant impact.

Having anticipated the potential backlash, Kronos decided not to linger at that point.

Since no corrections are needed and the backlash can be withstood on its own, there's no need to waste time.

With that thought, Kronos traveled directly through the River of Time back to his original time.

Since change has occurred, there will inevitably be backlash.

The moment Kronos returned to his own time, he felt as if a hammer had struck him hard in the chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, it was just a brief moment and didn't have a significant impact.

After enduring that blow, Kronos looked up at the Hidden Sage once more.

He's still entangled in collecting twenty-two Figurines.

Despite the seemingly long duration of Kronos's actions, it was all but a fleeting moment.

Having activated his Eyes of Mystery Prying, Kronos sought to determine whether everything he had done was meaningful.

Through his Eyes of Mystery Prying, Kronos could clearly observe that the Hidden Sage was injured and that a very strange aura was sealed within his body.

The pollution hadn't disappeared, which didn't surprise Kronos. Even the Hidden Sage, Trunsoest, though powerful, couldn't do anything about it.

Although Trunsoest was more heavily contaminated, there was essentially no difference between the two.

Therefore, the Hidden Sage tried various methods but still failed to expel it, only temporarily sealing it within his body.

It is precisely because of this contamination that the wounds left by the Judgment Revolver have not yet healed.

Wounds left by Sequence One are inherently difficult to heal, let alone when there is constant contamination causing further damage.

But that's enough. Kronos had been unable to find a weakness in the Hidden Sage, but now he finally had one.

By this time, most of the twenty-two Figurines had already unleashed their attacks; those that hadn't yet made a move were the ones Kronos had deliberately left behind.

This includes the Door Pathway, which has stronger restrictive power, and the Red Priest, Tyrant, and Twilight Giant Pathway, which have stronger offensive power.

Under Kronos's orders, the Figurines the Door Pathway and the Judgment Pathway worked together to restrict the Hidden Sage's movements using various methods.

Although each attack only has the power of a single strike, they are still at the Angel Level, so limiting the Hidden Sage for a few seconds is not a problem.

Seizing this opportunity, all the other Figurines unleashed their attacks directly at the Hidden Sage Hidden Sage, targeting the wounds that already existed on his body.

The injury is indeed not serious anymore, considering so much time has passed.

However, as long as it is not fully healed, it remains a weakness for the Hidden Sage, even for Informationization body.

Under Kronos's Eyes of Mystery Prying, the flaw in the Hidden Sage grew larger and larger, until it was almost completely exposed.

Therefore, Kronos also contributed to the effort.

While Kronos hadn't reached the pinnacle of his mastery of Force Field control, a skill attributed to Knowledge Mentor, he had at least achieved a high level of proficiency.

Kronos tore the wound open from the inside out.

With the combined efforts of both internal and external forces, this flaw was completely exposed.

How can an Informationization Mythical Form have wounds?

Therefore, once the wound was completely reopened, the Mythical Form of the Hidden Sage also collapsed.

The Mythical Form disappeared, replaced by a middle-aged man wearing a black Cloak.

Looking at the man before him, Kronos Consciousness assumed that this was Constantin.

Actually, Kronos's idea wasn't bad.

Constantin hastily merged with Uniqueness, resulting in Uniqueness's own Consciousness replacing Constantin's Consciousness.

But even if this Uniqueness is revitalized, it still can't possibly possess its own body and manifest Mythical Form.

Therefore, Uniqueness is actually Parasitism on Constantin's body, controlling Constantin's actions.

Now that the Mythical Form has been broken, it's time for the true form to be revealed.

Kronos met Constantin's gaze and found his eyes vacant and lifeless, as if he were devoid of any Consciousness.

A large hole appeared between his eyebrows, seemingly damaging even his brain; this was the opening through which Kronos had struck.

The next second, Constantin's eyes suddenly became lively. It was because the vital organs had been injured that the pain was so intense that Uniqueness Consciousness suddenly lost control.

However, although it became lively, it was in a state of near-foolishness, looking no different from a mentally challenged person.

This Uniqueness is merely due to an excessively high degree of activation; it doesn't mean the individual truly possesses complete Mind. Maintaining this level of awareness is already quite an achievement.

This is Kronos's opportunity.

With his Mythical Form broken, his immunity to many attacks has disappeared, making him vulnerable to even greater damage now.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kronos unleashed the Thunder of Divine Punishment in his hand and struck down upon the Hidden Sage.

The Hidden Sage clearly didn't Consciousness how much difference there was between his Mythical Form and his normal form, so he didn't dodge or evade at all, choosing instead to take the hit head-on.

It's important to understand that the Informationization in his Mythical Form helps him mitigate more than 50% of attacks, which is why he was able to withstand so many Sequence One level attacks.

But things are different now; he's just a wounded person now.

Lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Hidden Sage directly on the head.

The destructive power of this attack clearly exceeded the Hidden Sage's expectations, instantly stunning him and leaving him seemingly powerless to resist.

Kronos did not let his guard down, but pressed his advantage, and a blazing light emanated from his body.

Logically speaking, the fundamental power of God Almighty's Substitute is actually light; therefore, this is the strongest attack.

Unlike lower-level Purification that can only remove evil, this level of Purification can Purification everything; everything is the target.

Therefore, after Kronos's Light of Purification fell upon the Hidden Sage, the Hidden Sage once again let out a Affliction wail.

Although this Purification doesn't discriminate against a target, Purification can still deliver a critical hit with a 200% success rate against an active Consciousness that has taken over another person's body.

Enduring this indiscriminate Purification, the Hidden Sage's Consciousness finally could not withstand it and retreated directly into his original Cloak.

If the Consciousness of the Hidden Sage has vanished, then the body should lose Consciousness.

Just as Kronos was thinking this, the body's eyes opened once more.

His eyes, which opened again, were filled with a sense of vicissitude, clearly indicating that he could no longer be the Hidden Sage.

Kronos asked with slight hesitation, "Excuse me, are you Constantin?"

The main reason was that Kronos couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Constantin nodded and said, "My friend, I thank you for freeing me."

Kronos asked tentatively, "Are you still alive?"

Constantin said, "That's right, he can't let me die, otherwise he won't be able to control the Beyonder Characteristic within me."

"Even if his activation level is high, it's still only Uniqueness. How can Uniqueness control Beyonder Characteristic?"

Kronos continued, "He hid, so you were able to survive?"

He had already made up his mind when he asked that question.

If this old ghost who disappeared so many years ago could really come back to life, then I'll send him back to hell right now.

I've been working on this for so long, all for its Beyonder Characteristic and Uniqueness. I can't let this old devil, who's outside the plan, disturb me.

Constantin had lived for so long; how could he not see through Kronos's thoughts?

He gave a bitter smile and said, "I really want to live, but I really can't go on living."

"After such a long period of erosion, I have no control over my own body."

"In essence, I am just an Archangel, yet I have maintained Mythical Form for thousands of years. This body is already riddled with holes."

"So after losing his support, it won't be long before I dissipate along with this body."

After hearing these words, Kronos felt relieved; this old devil was actually quite cooperative.

If he can die on his own, then there's no need to turn against him.

Constantin continued, "I can do you one thing, but you must promise to completely destroy that Consciousness."

Kronos asked, "What is it? Tell me."

Constantin chuckled and said, "The contamination sealed within my body really did you a huge favor, which is why you had the chance to defeat him."

"But as soon as I disappear, these pollutants will definitely find a new place to Parasitism."

"Ultimately, there's a high chance it will Parasitism my Beyonder Characteristic, and then that trait will become a problem for you."

This is indeed a big problem. Think about the corruption on the Hand of Order before; the Sanguine used all their strength, but in the end, they still couldn't cleanse it.

If these contaminants remain on the Beyonder Characteristic of the Knowledge Emperor, it would indeed be quite troublesome.

Kronos asked, "So, what can you do to help me?"

Constantin said, "I can 'die' earlier, my body dies, but my Consciousness remains, trying my best to lock the contamination inside. Then you'll have plenty of time to take away my Beyonder Characteristic."

"However, all of this is predicated on you destroying the Consciousness within Uniqueness."

Kronos laughed, "That's easy, I'll do it for you right now."

After saying that, Kronos grabbed Constantin's Cloak from his back.

Beyonder Characteristic can be shattered, but Uniqueness cannot, so the activated Consciousness is perfectly safe hiding inside.

If this happened to anyone else, there would indeed be no way to deal with him, but Kronos is clearly not one of them.

A flash of Green Light appeared on Kronos's hand, and time on his Cloak began to rapidly reverse.

However, in terms of status, Kronos is still a level above Uniqueness at this time, so casting Time Reversal on him is not difficult at all.

Not long after, the time displayed on the Cloak had regressed to before the War of the Four Emperors.

In this way, the Cloak quickly reached the state before Consciousness was generated, and the Consciousness within it naturally disappeared.

After completing all this, Kronos temporarily solidified the above time state.

"How is it? Has the Consciousness within disappeared?" After doing all this, Kronos waved the Cloak in front of Constantin and then said.

Constantin was, after all, an Knowledge Emperor, and even in his current state, that's still evident.

The Consciousness within the Cloak had indeed vanished completely; Kronos had truly succeeded.

Constantin's eyes lowered slightly, a glint of something unusual flashing in them, which he quickly concealed.

He raised his eyes again and looked at Kronos, saying, "Now that you've accomplished this, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Next, my Consciousness will be completely shut down, giving my body a signal of death."

"Once the body receives this signal, it will begin the process of death."

"The first to react will definitely be the contaminants trapped inside the body; I will use my Consciousness to quickly control them."

"And all you have to do is extract my Beyonder Characteristic Beyonder Characteristic as quickly as possible, and then leave with them."

"I discovered this space back then, so let it become my Tomb after I die. That wouldn't be bad."

Constantin said to Kronos with a sincere expression.

He wasn't afraid at all that Kronos wouldn't believe him. Even if he didn't, Cronus would have to cooperate with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted.

After all, his Beyonder Characteristic still reside within him.

Sure enough, Kronos nodded very sincerely.

"Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you, inherit your Beyonder Characteristic, and live well in your place."

Constantin found these words very upsetting, but he didn't say anything more.

The next second, Kronos sensed that Constantin on the other side was dead, his presence completely vanished.

Constantin has already started; next up is Kronos's turn.

He then unleashed his power of light; the Sun Pathway, besides Purification and attacking, could also accelerate the extraction of Beyonder Characteristic.

Within two minutes, the Beyonder Characteristic of Constantin were released.

Seeing this final step on the path to godhood, Kronos reached out with delight to take it.

Just as his hand was about to grasp the Beyonder Characteristic, countless pollutants poured out of Constantin's body.
