Supremacy Games

1955  -Reincrate, Twenty Years.-

Kronos had completely erased his memories of every interaction he had with Felix billions of years ago and caused himself to be sealed in the Imprisonment Grounds!!

He didn't know for what purpose, but the only reason he was still sealed here was due to one thing.

'All I can do is trust and follow the instructions of the stars instead of my vision...'

As he said this, Kronos lifted his head, showing a singular dreadful eye on his forehead, peeking through the seal constraints and landing on the infinite sea of the stars.

In the eyes of others, those stars might seem fixed in position.

But not for Kronos as his eye was showing him the future movement of the stars, each moment they moved, a new constellation was created.

With each constellation, a message appeared written by him to his future self!!

The latest message appeared just a few seconds ago, right after Zion was imprisoned with him.

-Reincrate, Twenty Years.-

Kronos immediately turned his vision to Zion, who was still curled up, calling for him with tears flooding down his cheeks.

'Does my past want me to reincarnate the boy twenty years from now or twenty years to the past...'

Kronos hated every second of this situation, where he had the power to peek into the future and past, yet, he was holding himself back purely through trust.

He knew that his memories were erased by himself and he could feel them returning slowly, but instead of allowing it to happen, the stars were telling him to fight it off.

They were telling him to trust nothing but their instructions.

Knowing that Star Code was created only for himself made him understand that this was his past self's doing. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Thus, even when he hated being imprisoned, he hated this lack of knowledge, and he hated this tingling sense of dread from the truth of the universe, he still refrained from breaking the rules imposed by his past self.

In his eyes, if one couldn't even trust themselves, who would they ever trust?

'No need to rush, the truth will become clear when the time comes...'

Kronos murmured to himself as he lowered his head again, waiting, waiting, and waiting...

After a million years, his punishment was concluded and Kronos was released back to the matter universe.

While the rulers and unigins expected him to return to the eternal kingdom, he remained in isolation, in the same galaxy of his imprisonment.

"This is a bit peculiar..." Medusa murmured, "First, he tells us he is feeling himself losing control over his powers and he seeks our help to seal him, now, he is isolating himself in a frozen timeline?"

"His actions have been strange, but he was always strange to begin with." Amun-Ra shrugged, unbothered, "I am just glad he isn't showing any interest in celestial energy or our plans."

"Whatever is going on with him, keep out an eye," Ymir uttered calmly.

He had a feeling that Kronos seemed to know more than he was telling...If it wasn't for the veil of fog blocking even their vision, he would have thought that he knew the other side.

Even without it, they had inquired him point blank and used Lilith's detection skills in case he was lying.

He had answered truthfully that he had no idea about what lies on the other side.

Unbeknownst to them, when they asked him, he had already erased all of his memories of the other side's matters and never dared to peek that far into the future again!

Just like this, years went by and civilizations kept rising and falling. Yet, Kronos never left that galaxy, seemingly awaiting something, someone.

In the blink of an eye, twenty million years went by and a little average spaceship drifted across the deserted galaxy.

Suddenly, it shifted its direction and headed toward a massive planet bigger than Jupiter and had hundreds of rings surrounding it.

"This looks promising." Felix grinned widely after landing on the planet with his bloodline clan and seeing the massive expense of ruins.

"Keep it in your pants, Felix." Kathy rolled her eyes at him, "Nothing good ever comes out after you grin like that."

"I second that." Jayden laughed, "Your grin has damned us many times."

"Yes, yes, it's much easier to blame me than accept that your luck has been always shit." Felix shrugged his shoulders.

"We were all doing good in the previous planets until the clan advisor placed you with us." Kyle sneered in irritation, "Ever since then, we barely found an elemental stone, don't even mention a treasure."

Kathy and Jayden supported him with head nods, uncaring about Felix's expression turning dark.

"Just follow me, I am gonna lead you to riches in this place." Felix proclaimed boastfully, "If I fail, I will treat you all to dinner."

"I don't care about the dinner, just don't get us killed." Kathy sighed as she followed after Felix with the others.

"Killed? I am from Earth, I am like a cockroach, I can't be destroyed that easily..."

A couple of days later, inside the sealing hall of Zion...

Kyle's corpse lay outside, and Kathy's corpse was thrown near the center under the suspended platform, missing an eye...Meanwhile, Jayden's body had been scorched to death.

As for Felix, he was seen leaning against the sealing hall's gate with a terrified expression while gazing at a colorful flame in the shape of a humanoid deity.

"Your soul is mine."

With a cold tone, Zion waved his finger and Felix's body was hurled towards him until he caught him by the neck.

"Ple...ease...Me...rcy..."

As Felix begged with despair clouding his eyes, Zion merely placed his finger on his forehead and invaded Felix's consciousness space.

Then, when he tried to possess his body, his expression completely shifted from boredom to disbelief. 'Compatible...Our souls are 100% compatible...This is it!'

Without an ounce of hesitation, Zion started the possessing process, attempting to take over Felix's soul.

He had to make sure to not be too aggressive as he knew that a single mistake would cause the entire soul to collapse!

Unfortunately, Felix noticed immediately what he tried to do and he didn't hesitate to do the unthinkable.

"Over my f*cking dead body!"

He blew his soul barrier to smithereens, giving Zion no chance to take over!

"No! My vengeance!!"

Zion's expression shifted frantic as he tried everything in his power to solidify the soul, but alas, his powers were still 99.999% sealed.

This gave him either the choice to retreat or commit, knowing that the explosion would take them both.

"I refuse to stay here another second!! I am leaving this hell one way or another!" Zion dedicated without an ounce of hesitation, his face filled with hatred and disgruntlement.

Unfortunately...

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

As the explosion engulfed the sealing hall, it awakened Kronos immediately, making him freeze time on the Imprisonment Grounds.

When he saw what was happening, the first thought that coursed through his mind was,

'This is it...Right on time, twenty million years.'

But, his expression and the words uttered out loud were completely different.

"Interesting, so that vengeful brat finally found a soul compatible enough to hold his murderous spirit without backlash."

He then started to laugh out loud after seeing Felix detonating himself to take them both out.

Soon, he changed his tone, "But since you seek the freedom that much, to the point of trying even to erase your existence, I will break the rules and give you a hand."

The eye looked deep within the explosion and saw a wisp of a soul in the process of being extinguished. Then, it sent two fingers that traveled through space-time and grabbed it swiftly toward its place.

2 minutes later...

The eye kept scanning the soul wisp with intrigue. He realized that both of their souls had merged to form one. But Felix's soul had total control of it.

So, if he wanted to give Zion a second chance at life, Felix would profit from it more than him since he would only be viewing for his eyes with zero control.

"Hehe, that's for him to solve, not me." Amused, he chuckled at the wisp one last time and then hurled it at its humongous pupil.

Kronos sealed his eye slowly in exhaustion after overusing space-time laws to send them into another timeline...To be precise, twenty years in the past, just like the stars had told him. "Safe journey."

He murmured one last time as he slumbered in silence, knowing that the moment he woke up from his punishment, the truth would finally be clear to him.

As for the reason he made this charade? "Kronos, what are you up to..."

Ymir narrowed his eyes as he saw the whole thing with his peers, trying to make sense of this situation.

"Is he with us or not..."

The three rulers felt like they were missing something, but they couldn't figure it out.

"Do we make our move at the child?" Medusa asked.

Ymir went quiet for a few moments and then shook his head after glancing at the prophecy tablet and seeing no new instructions arising.

"No, we must not interfere..."
