1951  Found You...

Meanwhile, Felix was a bit pleased and disappointed at the same time after emerging from the latest universe.

"My modifications have worked and it seems like the unigins are playing ball with the rulers, leaving the universe in a well-balanced state. But..." Felix sighed, "My ending was somewhat the same as the previous time...Dying on an exploration mission with barely any noticeable strength."

Felix hoped for a different outcome, so he could see if it was possible to change things to his advantage.

Since he couldn't be involved too soon with the three rulers, he refused to add his name to the tablet.

"I guess it's time to add some small changes to help me throughout his journey." Felix spent the next couple of days bouncing ideas with Queen Ai until he was satisfied with the final changes. Without an ounce of hesitation, Felix launched the trials, keeping everything else the same.

Unfortunately, after fifteen days, Felix woke up to the memories of his next life repeating to the exact last letter!

Same universal history, same events, same conversations, same path, everything was the same, like the new modifications weren't applied at all.

"How is this possible? Even without the new modifications, the butterfly effect would have changed many things." Felix frowned in confusion, "It's logically impossible for the timeline to stay 100% exact."

Because of this situation, Felix felt like he hadn't lived an additional life at all...It was like he went through a long neverending deja vu.

Yet, he disliked this situation greatly since he knew that each failure implied the destruction of an entire universe.

"Celestial hearts, what's going on?" Felix asked for clarification, "Have you implemented the requested changes?"

"Yes."

"Then, how come I saw no additional planet in my solar system?"

Felix's latest modification was the addition of a new planet to the solar system. The planet would be rich with poison and illusion elemental stones.

Felix believed that the Federation might find a way to mine the planet before they lost their five games...Due to the nature of the resources, it might make the family invest in his illusion affinity, which might change his path completely.

While he knew it was a long shot, he would rather have obtained bad results than this repeated outcome.

Unfortunately, the seven celestials' hearts remained silent, letting Felix understand that their part was concluded and this issue was related to him and his modifications.

This drove Felix to start thinking about his previous modifications and which one was responsible for this abnormality.

It didn't take him much time to narrow the source to be related to the Unigins. After all, everything was fine until he fixed their issues with the celestials.

Now, that they seemed to be at peace, they must have done something...But this notion sent chills coursing down his spine as it made him realize one scary truth.

"One of them must have found out the truth or at least a portion of it...It must be him..." Felix took a deep breath and uttered, "Kronos."

Only now did Felix remember that he hadn't added Kronos to the list of entities blocked by the veil of fog!!

It was one of the first added modifications as he knew without it, the three rulers would have seen through the bullsh*t in a heartbeat through their powers.

"With time laws, he must possess the ability to recover his memories from his past timelines, making him figure out that something was going on under the rugs. Now, he is getting rid of any new additions I make to ensure the continuity of the same timeline."

"But, why is he doing this?"

Felix couldn't help but admire Kronos' brilliance, but at the same time, question his motives. He felt like maybe he wanted to make a statement that his manipulations had no place under his guardianship.

After all, he did consider himself as the guardian of time and space, which meant, that if he was a stickler to the rules, he was doing nothing but following through his duties.

But, he soon shook his head.

"He still can see the future, which means, he knows exactly that the universe will be erased after my death. In theory, he should do the opposite of repeating the same timeline to ensure his survivability for as long as possible...Wait unless."

Suddenly, Felix's eyes widened after reaching one crazy conclusion!

"He is limiting the variables to ensure my death keeps occurring in the same scenario. This will enable him eventually to figure out the true cause for the timelines' constant shifts...How marvelous!"

Felix was truly amazed...He didn't even know how Kronos was planning on pulling it off.

"Before anything else, I have to first confirm my theories." While everything that Felix concluded made the most sense, he understood that the only way to truly confirm it was by creating another universe.

If he added new changes and yet, the timeline remained the same, it was the only proof he needed.

"I will see what to do after confirming it."

...

Felix went and confirmed it, reliving the same life for the third time in a row, reaching the final moment of his life.

As the metallic hull of the bloodline clan's spaceship shimmered faintly, Felix lay slumped against it. His chest heaved as he took shallow breaths...

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, staining his chin as his trembling hand weakly pressed against the gaping wound on his right side.

A massive chunk of flesh was gone, ripped away completely. The edges of the wound were blackened and raw, the result of an energy cannon blast that had nearly torn him in two.

Each movement sent sharp, electric bolts of agony through his body, but he couldn't stop the involuntary jerks of his muscles.

His vision blurred as he tilted his head back, resting it against the ship's cold surface...His life coursed through his mind akin to a film, a very badly produced film.

As Felix viewed his tragic mediocre life, uncaring about the cries of his clan members and the thunderous blasts desiring to shatter his eardrums, all he could do was let out a mocking chuckle.

"What a fitting way to go...for a loser..."

As the last murmur escaped his lips, his spirit soon followed shortly, leaving him lying lifelessly with eyes filled with regret...

The moment his spirit entered the spirit realm, the universe took its last breath too, erasing everything, but Felix's soul.

It shone brightly, standing out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the other spirits.

When the universe was being erased, no one would have cared or even noticed this slight difference occurring in less than a nanosecond...But Kronos was in a different predatory realm, surpassing even the infamous Diddy.

As his eye scanned across the remaining spirits, it suddenly stopped the moment it landed on Felix.

'Found you...' He smiled wickedly.

***

Back to the original timeline...

"I was right, he is forcing the timeline to stay the same!" Felix remarked with an astounded look.

"Is he doing this to make a statement? to make me notice him? Does he want to reach out to me?"

Many questions coursed through Felix's mind, knowing that Kronos was taking a massive risk by making such a move.

If he truly figured out that the timeline was being manipulated by a creator-level entity, he should know damn well that he could be scrubbed off from the next timeline...Or much easier, just add him to the blocked list, leaving him clueless just like the three celestials.

"He must understand that the three rulers have no idea, which means, he must be thinking I have allowed him access to the truth for a purpose." Felix pondered for a moment before chuckling, "He must be certain I haven't made a mistake since no creator can create such mistakes."

All Felix was doing was connecting the dots and he was slowly capturing the full picture. Though, he still had no notion how Kronos would reach out to him.

"This might work to my advantage."

Felix soon realized that Kronos was the missing link to completing his plan...He had already asked before if it was possible to receive help as long as he didn't tell them about the mission.

Since the mission was Felix's ascension to replace Supreme Azzorus, Felix understood that there was a way, where he could receive such assistance without compromising the mission.

It was through making them believe that he was the reincarnation of the Universe's consciousness!

"I did the same to the three celestials and they crucified me for it, but now, I have a chance to obtain help from a unigin to pull it off." Felix grinned, "Based on his actions, it seems like he is willing to participate."

Felix was quite thrilled with this new development as he understood that he would have an insider with the ability to retain memories of failed timelines.

This was massive as it meant they could continuously work together, each on their side, to help him achieve his goal.

Yet, the best part?

"He can maintain one rigid timeline." Felix's eyes continued lighting up, "This will fix my road once and for all, as all I will need to do is make changes the moment I fail."

Felix understood that one of the worst possible scenarios was the timeline shifting crazily due to the butterfly effect, following making great progress.

Then, instead of progressing forward, he would be forced to try again and again just to return to the identical point.

But with a stable timeline, he wouldn't have such problems.

"Start the trial." Not bothering to create any modifications, Felix started the trial, understanding that if Kronos wanted to achieve out, he would figure out a way.

All he needed to do was give him time...Unbeknownst to him, he was already found!
