Gasp!
Sōkyū Hatake's words made Anrokuzan involuntarily suck in a sharp breath.
This was a temporal paradox. If you went back into the past and changed certain things, would the corresponding events change as well?
Or would you only change events in another world, meaning that a multiverse existed?
But to Anrokuzan, these theories were all utterly novel, and there was not even anything else that could corroborate them.
All he could do was believe in his temporal paradox day and night: going back into the past could change the future. That was what drove Anrokuzan.
"So, you think you can succeed, but you don't know why you would succeed. You don't even know what your chances of success are." Every word Sōkyū Hatake spoke reached Anrokuzan's ears.
At that moment, Anrokuzan felt as though everything about him had been tightly bound by a thread called fate. He even felt that it could become the possibility that determined whether this matter was true or false, a success or a failure.
"Could it be... that everything I've done has been pointless?" Anrokuzan looked at Sōkyū Hatake in a daze. Would all my efforts ultimately come to nothing?
"Time is a mysterious thing. No one knows whether this can truly succeed, but what you don't know, I will learn in the future, because... I'm stronger than you." Sōkyū Hatake walked straight up to Anrokuzan as he spoke.
Regardless of how time worked, Sōkyū Hatake himself knew certain things.

"Is that... so?" Anrokuzan lowered his head helplessly. Indeed, he seemed to have been bound by time travel all along, doing everything for the sake of killing Sōkyū
