Chapter 3965: He WIll Understand the Message

Laiana heard everything from Rean, falling into silence a moment later.

Hearing no response, Rean couldn’t help but call her out. -Senior Laiana, are you there?-

’Yes... I’m here.’ Laiana was thinking about it. That’s why she didn’t speak for a moment. ’Alright, let me tell you what I know about Xyrath, the Chronoblade Serpent. The fact that the Future Realm’s laws aren’t affected even though the time runs faster matches his abilities.’

Laiana continued with a full description of the Primordial Beast. The Future Realm wasn’t the only place that could accelerate time without causing issues to the laws of the world. And it indeed matched Xyrath’s abilities. However, the time acceleration from Xyrath did affect the laws of the area around him in another way.

Xyrath was a colossal serpent made of broken, spinning plates of time, like floating hourglass fragments and clockwork arcs. These plates of time interacted, albeit only briefly, with different branches of time, or alternative universes, you might call them. One might connect them to the butterfly effect.

However, according to the Charybdis Queen, those different branches of time don’t really exist. Xyrath’s plates of time only allowed one to see those different futures as possibilities that didn’t materialize. Also, there was a limit to how far into the future those possibilities could go. Nonetheless, Xyrath could use these possible Universes, even though they don’t really exist, to bring their laws into his time branch to compensate for the accelerated time discrepancies.

That’s why one could comprehend the laws in the Future Realm. You weren’t really seeing the laws that were being accelerated inside the Future Realm. Instead, you were seeing the laws from those possible alternative universes while your body was in your own universe and experiencing the acceleration of time.

Laiana mentioned that there are other ways to accelerate time without affecting the laws, but Xyrath’s way was definitely unique, something only he could create.

’Xyrath, just like the other Primordial Beasts that are trapped inside the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble, is very important for the Bubble itself. He would be the one responsible for the ’time’ aspect that is used in the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble,’ Laiana explained.

’Still, I’m very curious about how he was even captured,’ she continued. ’Xyrath’s abilities literally allow him to bring different possibilities from different possible Universes to undo any harm caused to him. For example, let’s say his heart is destroyed. As long as he acts fast enough, he can pull a different possibility from a possible alternative universe where he is fine into our branch of time and have his heart back in an instant.’

-But didn’t you say those possible universes don’t really exist?- Rean was confused. -Since they don’t exist, how can he materialize their properties into this universe? Or this branch of time?-

’That you will have to ask him, although I think he would rather die than tell anyone,’ Laiana said. ’It’s his innate ability, simple as that. He never told me, and the two of us are quite close friends. Anyway, with him having access to different possible futures, it makes no sense for him to be captured.’

-Are you saying he surrendered of his own volition?- Rean asked back.

’Maybe?’ Laiana wasn’t sure. ’Once again, that is the kind of answer you can only get from him.’

Hearing all of that left Yuan quite shocked. However, he noticed something and asked straightaway. "That makes no sense... With such an ability, shouldn’t Xyrath be virtually invincible? He sure would be stronger than anything in existence."

’It sounds like that, doesn’t it?’ Laiana was happy Yuan pointed it out. ’However, it is not that simple. In fact, you could say that Xyrath is one of the weaker Primordial Beasts.’

-One of the weaker?- Rean was taken aback. How could a primordial beast with such an amazing ability be one of the weaker beasts?

’You are not wrong to say that he is somewhat invincible, but that is only if we are talking about defeating him. With his power, you would need to exhaust all the alternative possibilities where he isn’t defeated to take him down.’

’However, that is only counting himself. He can’t force those possible futures into others, only himself,’ Laiana pointed out. ’It makes sense, don’t you think? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be simpler to just pull out a time plate where his enemy was killed for whatever reason?’

’You have to understand that there is no such thing as omnipotency. Everyone and everything has its own weaknesses and strengths. So, when it comes to attack power, he is truly pretty harmless among the Primordial Beasts. It’s just that killing him, capturing him, or anything like that should be a near impossible mission.’

Rean heard everything and began to get a good picture of what he would need to deal with. -Alright, I understand a little better. So, we are about to try to enter the Future Realm, and if we are right, we might be able to find him in there. Once again, there is no guarantee. Perhaps he is in a similar situation as you were back then, imprisoned. If we can’t even find where his body is, there won’t be much we can do.-

’Don’t worry,’ Laiana had a plan. ’I know a method you can use to detect where he is. As long as you are not too far away, you should be able to detect his Time Plates.’

Rean could see a few problems. -Alright... but we have to consider the various possibilities here. We don’t know how he ended up there, if he is truly imprisoned, and these kinds of things.-

Laiana was the one to say that it should be near impossible to capture Xyrath, so she couldn’t discard the possibilities Rean mentioned. ’I understand. Xyrath is obviously keeping that Future Realm running. After all, he could stop his time plates from affecting the surroundings if he wanted to. Nonetheless, this Werdlem Network should still reach the Future Realm. If you manage to find and talk to him, contact me. It will be better.’

-Okay.- Rean agreed to do that much.

Laiana had one last piece of information. ’Also, to prevent misunderstanding, tell him that Laiana entangled her tentacles again as soon as you find him. He will understand what this message means.’
