1952  Communication Through Timelines! I

Sky Pearl Island...

Felix could be seen sunbathing in front of the beach while drinking a smoothie through a straw...He lay there with a big relaxed smile, listening to the sounds of waves, crashing into the nearby cliff, a sudden creepy silence took over.

Felix wasn't too bothered at the start, but then, the silence remained far longer than his comfort.

'Hmmm? The f*ck? Did I go deaf?'

Felix removed the sunglasses with a dumbfounded expression, staring directly at the waves, but hearing nothing.

Just as he was about to freak out, he suddenly felt some sort of gaze directed at him from above...When he lifted his head, he almost pissed himself in fright.

Right behind the clear sky, a massive void-like eye was staring directly into his being, sending horrified tremors through his heart.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Frightened to death, Felix screamed at the top of his lungs, but no sound was produced.

'Quiten down, little one. I am just here to leave a message to the entity behind you.' Kronos uttered calmly while using his spiritual pressure to settle down Felix's heartbeats, not wanting him to die right away.

'Wha...What, are you...'

'Don't speak.'

With a single order, Felix's lips and thoughts were sealed, leaving him to stare at Kronos' frightening eye in silence.

'I don't know what you are or what's your end goal, but I am sure about one thing, the three celestials, the unigins, and the primogenitors. They have no place in this universe and you have created us to reach that goal.'

'My first guess is that you are the universe's consciousness attempting to be reborn through such means, but I am no idiot.'

'If you were truly the universe's consciousness, you wouldn't be fooling around in such secondary timelines.'

'Since you clearly seem to be testing what works and what doesn't through adding changes to the timeline or altering the instructions to the tablet, it shows that you have no idea what you are doing and winging it as you.'

He paused, unbothered by little Felix's baffled expression.

'In simpler terms, you possess the powers of the creator, but you aren't at that level yet. This drives me to assume that my universe is either a virtual simulation or a reality-based simulation if that was possible.'

'I am more than 90% certain it's the latter because I can maintain my memories of the past timelines. If I were a program, erasing the universe would be similar to erasing the database...Nothing survives.'

'Last but not least, I believe this is your actual body and soul. Though, I don't know why there is nothing unique about your body and soul...You are a mortal, through and through.'

'Still, this makes it harder to bypass the fact your death caused the erasure of the entire universe. I am certain if I were to kill this little boy right now, the universe would be erased and you would launch a new timeline.'

'Now, that I have established my findings, I want to suggest a partnership. I will help you achieve your goal here. I will do your bidding and help you accelerate the progress of this little character of yours to whatever ends you desire.'

Kronos paused for a moment and then uttered his demands with a stern tone, 'In return, you will bring me to the original timeline.'

'I have no interest in remaining in a secondary universe bound to be deleted.'

'That's my only request.' Kronos added calmly, 'If you agree, send me a message by using those codes written in the stars and the details needed for me to understand everything and my role in your goal.'

He showed the codes on the sky, resembling somewhat like a Morse code.

'If you reject my proposal, block my vision of the past and the future like the three celestials. Don't curse me with such knowledge if you have no interest in my help.'

'That will be all.' Kronos narrowed his eye at little Felix and said calmly, 'Nothing personal kid, you were just unlucky to be born in the wrong timeline.'

Before little Felix could react, he found himself disintegrating into little particles painlessly...

Back in the Original Timeline...A few minutes later. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Felix could be seen sitting with eyes wide open, stun-locked for the last minutes, not a single word left his lips.

After a couple more minutes, all he could do was let out a loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Crazy, I am actually crazy to underestimate the intelligence of a being living for billions of years!" Felix was utterly horrified and awed at Kronos' incredible intellect and foresight to figure out almost everything on his own with the little information in his possession.

He didn't just read him, he absolutely dissected everything he did or tried to do!

"If the three celestials weren't blacklisted, they would have reached the same conclusion." Felix narrowed his eyes, "Those beings don't mess about."

Now that Felix was given an unexpected cooperation deal without needing to even give out any explanation, he had no intentions of passing on it.

So far, he knew that Kronos was quite close to the truth, but he hadn't arrived at it yet...He believed this left him in the clear to receive his help as long he hadn't exposed his true mission.

Felix wrote out the code in a hologram as he remembered it. If he forgot anything, Queen Ai was there to assist him.

When he was done, he couldn't help but admire it.

"This code is quite ingenious...He knew I could only make modifications before the universe's creation, so he created a code based on the movement of the stars."

The code was more or less using the celestials as dots while the dashes appeared as invisible cosmic lines that bridge the stars.

In the eyes of others, the celestials appeared the same as any, but for those understanding the code, they could be turned into a whole sentence!

Not even the three rulers would find out about it.

"I have to play this smart. I have a unigin in my side with powers of space and time, while I am sure the celestial hearts wouldn't consider receiving his help as breaking the rules, I have to be careful."

Felix locked himself again with nothing but the holograms, Queen Ai, and his own thoughts.

This time, it took him weeks of brainstorming before finally deciding on a plan. It wasn't like he found anything good.

It's the opposite, he realized that it was extremely difficult to plan with a being he had not much information about...Thus, instead of burning through his brain cells, he decided to leave it to Kronos to do it his way and develop it later on.

He knew that he could come up with something better since he had billions of years to think of a plan, in addition, he had shown to be extremely intelligent.ù

The Fifteenth Universe...

Kronos gazed at a constellation from a distance speechlessly, feeling like he was being played...His reaction was warranted when the message sent by Felix had only three words.

-Kill The Celestials-

'Kill the celestials, is this his goal? Or just part of it? Does he want me to kill them or help him do it? Why is he telling me only this? Is there something holding him back from spilling the beans?'

Many questions roamed in his mind, but there was only one clue before him...Kill The Celestials.

'He must want me to help him grow strong enough to kill the celestials.' Kronos rubbed his eyelids, 'Does he think I have a magic wand that can turn mortals into gods? He hasn't given me even a good mortal to work with.'

While the lack of information wasn't satisfactory, he understood that Felix had accepted his terms and all he could do was fulfill his end of the deal.

'Let's do some experiments.'

Since he already had the base model of Felix, he didn't need his presence to start working. Kronos entered a temporal state, where he could create an infinite number of imaginary timelines.

Then, he started implementing his ideas and seeing the results, knowing that they were 100% accurate representations of reality.

In his first timeline, he altered Felix's DNA to have 100% space and time affinities. Then, he waited until he started his journey, guiding him from the shadows to find the bloodlines of space/time primogenitors, which he had already hidden beforehand.

Unfortunately, the moment Felix touched those bloodlines, the timeline collapsed under Kronos' stunned eye.

'Hmm? Why was the universe destroyed? Wasn't his death the only condition? Or are there more?'

Albeit taken back, Kronos didn't let this slow him down. He paid a visit to another fictitious timeline, where he tried to integrate with Felix from birth, changing his entire birth race from a mere human to a semi-celestial.

Unfortunately, the cosmos was erased the moment he succeeded in pulling it off. Kronos remained unbothered and continued his work, jumping from one timeline to another, pulling off all sorts of ideas and strategies to help Felix grow beyond his human capacity.

He went through hundreds if not thousands of timelines. Yet, the universes kept collapsing like his touch was cursed.

'Does this mean I am not allowed to help him? But, this doesn't make any sense, why would he ask for my assistance if it's like this.' Kronos frowned in displeasure.

'I am missing something and only he can explain it.'

Knowing that he still had billions of years before Felix was born to contact him, Kronos decided to spend his time continuing with creating newer strategies.

Thus, once the problem was solved, he would have already been prepared for all sorts of possibilities.
