Chapter 475: Old Friend

"Janus, Oh Janus. You just had to drag me into this again, didn’t you?" Ryder muttered softly. His voice was a little heavier and sounded much more intimidating.

His voice sounded especially intimating to the gods that recognized it. The gods seemed like they had seen a ghost. Most of them went deathly pale.

"It’s you..." The Lord of Space muttered as he stood up.

"So you were alive," the Lord of Time muttered as he also flew up. His body floated a few inches above the ground.

"It’s good to meet you too, old friend," Ryder muttered softly with an expressionless face.

He gazed back towards the bracelet that was in his hand.

"My bracelet has gained some powers. Unfortunately, the seals of most of you still exist. It’s good that I got the seal of yours removed. That is good. Now I don’t have to face all of you at once," Ryder let out as he gazed at the bracelet of immortality.

"What do you mean?" The Lord of Time exclaimed as he squinted his eyes.

"Janus, I’ll talk to you later, you troublemaker," Ryder ignored the question of Lord of Time to talk to Janus.

Janus couldn’t help but smile like a kid in embarrassment.

"So I was right. Janus did have a hand in the appearance of the bracelet again," the Lord of Time muttered as he saw the chemistry of Janus and Ryder.

It didn’t seem like the way someone would talk to a person who killed them. It was definitely that Janus was supporting Ryder in some scheme.

"You bastard! You betrayed us!" the Lord of Space cursed at Janus as he understood what it implied.

"I knew we couldn’t trust you!" The God of War roared in rage. "Just wait and watch how I deal with you after I kill your brother again!"

"Kill him? I don’t think it would be as easy as you think," Janus let out as he rolled his eyes.

Ryder, on the other hand, raised his right hand.

"My dear friend, I’ll meet you really soon. Don’t worry," he said casually. "As for the others, you’ll have to wait a little longer."

Snap!

Ryder snapped his fingers.

As soon as he snapped his fingers, everything turned white.

The Bracelet of Immortality was an item that was said to be one of the strongest creations. It could have the powers of every god. Unfortunately, it hadn’t fully awakened previously when Ryder fought all the gods.

Moreover, it was sealed after that by the gods. Now that it’s been so long, the bracelet had awakened, but it still had the seals of the gods, which was preventing it from showing all its abilities.

Ryder had still managed to unseal it a little bit. And one of those unsealing was with the Fragment of Time itself which unsealed the seal cast by the Lord of Time himself.

That unsealing gave Ryder the ability to go back in time by a few hours. It also gave him the ability to go back in time by a day after dying.

Fortunately, now that his soul had its Divinity, the restriction didn’t apply to him. He didn’t need to die to go back in time by a day.

Last time he didn’t have the power of time but now that he had it, he wanted to use it.

He used the Bracelet of Immortality to go back in time by a day. Not only that, but he also hid his aura to make sure that the Gods in the new timeline couldn’t sense him.

The only person who would be twenty-four hours ago who will know what actually happened is the Lord of Time. That guy ruled time. Time couldn’t be used to fool him. He was going to know about what happened before him in this timeline.

Janus could also use a few abilities of time so he could also remember what happened before him.

As for the other gods, they would be completely unaware as times of this timeline wouldn’t have happened. They couldn’t know about Ryder’s return.

Ryder moved back in time as he appeared in the same house where he was before.

Luke stood in front of the window, looking outside. It was a different timeline, and Ryder hadn’t arrived yet. He hadn’t gone to invite Alice yet. He wasn’t rejected at the moment either.

Ryder’s deep red eyes gazed towards Luke. He remembered everything that had happened previously. This guy was here for Alice to forcefully take her if she said no.

"People like you don’t deserve to live. I declare death to you," Ryder said in a grim reaper-like tone.

Luke looked back in shock as he heard a chilling voice behind him. How was it that someone managed to enter his house without him knowing?

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even turn back to see the face of Ryder before he heard the snap of Ryder"a finger.

One snap... Just a single snap’s noise was enough to deal with Luke.

As soon as the sound of Ryder’s snap fell on Luke’s ears, his heart stopped beating as he dropped to the ground.

Ryder didn’t waste even a second more as he disappeared. The place he was going to was a place he didn’t want to have to go so soon. Unfortunately, the situation didn’t give him much time.

In a distant place, a special realm existed. Inside the spatial realm, a young boy was sitting with his feet inside a pond.

The cold water brushed against his warm feet as he moved them.

The boy was sitting calmly, but suddenly his expressions changed. Many thoughts flooded his head as the boy got his memories from a different timeline about what he had seen.

He understood what had happened. Ryder used his abilities to go back in time.

He hurriedly stood up.

"You don’t have to be in such a hurry, old friend."

The boy was just about to leave the special realm when he heard a voice.

"So you not only came back in time, but you came straight to me," the young boy muttered as he gazed back at the long-haired man who possessed beautiful yet frightening red eyes.

"Of course. Only you know about me now. Who will I go to if not you," Ryder told the Lord of Time calmly.

"Strange. I think you’ve changed. If it were the old you, you wouldn’t be scared to fight all the gods at once. Instead, you chose to run back in time so you won’t have to face them. Not only that, you came straight to me, so I can’t inform them," the Lord of Time muttered as he rubbed his chin.

Ryder squinted his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. The truth was different, honestly. It wasn’t because he was scared to face the gods at once. But he came back in time for something else.

" All I can say is that you’re wrong. I would still have preferred to face you all at once, but I have my reasons," he said after quite some time.

"Interesting. I wonder what those reasons are. Can’t you tell me? I’ll be dead shortly, after all," the Lord of Time let out softly as he sat down on the ground again.

"You’re giving up so fast? I don’t know about me, but you certainly seem to have changed," Ryder muttered as he walked closer to the Lord of Time. He sat beside him as he looked straight into the distant horizon.

"Do I even have another choice? That bracelet is in your hand. And it seems to have powers of time. Even before, time couldn’t affect you when I had stopped the time of the entire world. And that was when you didn’t have your Divinity, I believe." Lord of Time let out.

"I won’t even imagine that I’ll be able to affect you with my powers now. This bracelet certainly proved to be a game-changer. Especially with my seal being unlocked first. You’re invincible to my powers." he continued.

"Even before when you didn’t have the bracelet, these powers barely affected you. As of now, It’s only a fool’s wish to kill you. At Least, I can’t do it."

He placed his feet in the water again as he closed his eyes. Honestly, though, I never expected to lose my life to you after so long. I thought it’d be much sooner."

"I honestly expected to die in the last Great War. But you didn’t attack me that much. Was that intentional?" he asked Ryder.

Ryder looked towards the Lord of Time as he confessed, "I don’t want to kill you. Let me seal you, and you’ll survive. After I’m finished with what I want to do, you’ll be free. Please don’t make me kill you. You are one of the only few people I honestly don’t want to kill."

The Lord of Time looked back at Ryder. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he laid on the ground.
