Chapter 1879 Sometimes, Ignorance is Bliss.

Though, there was quite a big issue. No one could enter the other timelines without Kronos' approval.

Just like Felix's domain was the void realm and Hades' domain was the Spirit Realm, Kronos ruled over the infinite frozen timelines, and not even the three rulers could gain access to them.

"Now what?" Apollo asked while looking around him, "Do we just wait here or are you going to use a wish or something?"

"Let's wait, if Kronos wants to meet us, he will allow us in, if no..."

Before Felix could finish his sentence, all three felt a sudden ripple of energy pulse from within the black hole.

They glanced at each other for a moment, realizing that this was an unmistakable sign for them to enter the black hole.

"Well, it's best not to leave him waiting."

Felix expanded his anti-gravity barrier on his partners and then took the lead, plunging himself into the devouring darkness of the black hole. Apollo and Eris swiftly followed along.

While they were wearing anti-gravitational barriers, their journey was still not smooth.

Time seemed to stretch and compress around them, warping their perception of reality, and making them feel as if they were being torn apart and reassembled in an infinite loop!

Then, suddenly, they were through.

The disorienting sensation stopped, and Felix, Apollo, and Eris found themselves emerging from another black hole.

The moment they adjusted to the new environment, they were met with a disturbing sensation.

The universe around them was strangely familiar, yet clearly different.

The stars were the same, the black hole still loomed behind them, but the very fabric of reality felt…wrong.

"Everything is really frozen in time...How peculiar," Apollo murmured in a daze as he drifted away from the event horizon.

"It's quite mysterious and eerie," Felix said, his senses spread across the entire galaxy, making him glimpse at the frozen stars, hung planets motionless in their orbits, and the cosmic debris suspended mid-collision.

Yet, the freakiest sight was still the scene of life forms static in all sorts of positions and forms. His previous clanmates were one of them.

Felix couldn't help but feel weirded out as he stared at his bloodline's clan spaceship hovering above the ruined city while tens of his clanmates were frozen during their search.

When he zoomed closer and went under the city, his eyes reflected the golden amber gate and the little hole in the ground.

He kept zooming in until he saw the soul explosion retracting across the entire sealing hall.

"Kronos must have saved us right above now," Felix murmured to himself.

"You are correct."

Suddenly, Kronos' deep voice resounded behind them, forcing them to turn around and gaze at his massive, thin eye. It was centered on the black hole, making it resemble the eye of the galaxy.

"Brother Krono! Long time no see!" Apollo immediately gave out a loud comfortable laugh, like he was long-term buddies with Kronos.

"Kronos, how are you doing?" Eris greeted politely.

"Same old, same old," Kronos replied calmly and then turned his eye to Felix, "Who would have thought that little human I rescued with Asna will make it this far in life?"

"You." Felix's eyelids twitched, "You are the only one who knows."

"Me?" Kronos chuckled, "You will be surprised by the few things I knew in life."

"Asna already told me." Felix frowned, "Do you really erase your memories? Why so? Are you that desperate to run from the future?"

"I don't know, I don't recall why I am avoiding seeing the future." Kronos replied, his voice calm, but there was a tint of grief in his voice, "But, I know this, the truth is damaging enough it will shatter your reality..."

Eris, Apollo, and Felix glanced at each other with solemn and curious expressions.

To see an upper unigin react this extreme over a piece of information could only mean that the truth wasn't for everyone to handle.

Still, Felix had to make sure it didn't reflect what he already knew.

"Does it have a relation to me being the reincarnation of the universe's consciousness and how I was using the tablet to facilitate my rebirth?" He asked.

Although Felix wasn't certain about the last part, he still added it, thinking that Kronos might confirm it for them.

Unfortunately, Kronos merely shook his thin pupil and said, "As I told you, I remember nothing and I don't want to."

"Then, how about this?" Felix suggested, "Let me borrow your core. I will see for myself and you can still maintain your temporal/spatial powers. When I am thorough with the three rulers, I will return your core back."

"How bold, asking me for my core in the first minute of our meeting." Kronos chuckled, "But, I like it this way, no need to beat around the bush."

"You might have removed your memories, but I know that you still peak into the near future." Felix said calmly, "Might as well come clean from the get-go."

In other words, Kronos could be said to already know everything that was about to happen in this meeting from A to Z. So, he might as well save everyone's time and get straight to the point.

Unfortunately, as much as Kronos loved his straightforwardness, it didn't mean he was going to agree.

"My apologies little celestial, but I can't hand you my core, at least not now." Kronos rejected calmly.

"I am just borrowing, you have my wor..."

"I don't care if it's giving or borrowing, this isn't the time." Kronos interrupted with a stern voice, making Felix realize that he had no plans of changing his decision.

This bothered him quite a bit, but he kept his cool and asked politely, "May I know why?"

"You will know when you reach the universe's heart," Kronos said, his thin eye reversed to show a thin bitter smile.

Felix and his partners didn't cherish the smile in the slightest as it screamed ominosity. But, they knew that Kronos wasn't going to delve deeper into the subject.

"You said, not now." Felix inquired, "May I ask when will you experience comfortable handing over your core?"

"It's not about comfort my little celestial." Kronos gazed into the distance as he shared, "It's about the timing, and it's not it. When the time comes, you will find my core in your possession. By then, you will come to understand everything."

"This again, why can't I just get the answers when I want?" Felix sighed in frustration.

He was already a celestial and yet Kronos seemed hell-bent on keeping the truth a mystery from him.

"You are already so close, I don't want to ruin your efforts." Kronos smiled painfully, "Sometimes, ignorance is bliss..."

"Yeah, I don't know about that."

Felix wasn't convinced at all as he had spent most of his life in the dark about many subjects. He always seemed to find the truth when it was too late.

"I hope you won't change your opinion later on."

With those passing words, Kronos' eye faded into the black hole, leaving the trio to glance at each other in silence.

"Krono? You here?" Apollo called but to no response.

"He left, how unfortunate." Eris sighed, "We didn't even get to question him about the timelines."

"Let's leave."

Felix turned around and went through the black hole, feeling like the trip was a waste of time. He came for Kronos' core and left with most of his questions unanswered.

Although Kronos seemed to mean that his core would come under Felix's hands down in the future, Felix wasn't too pleased with it.

He wanted Kronos' core as he understood it was going help him immensely against the three rulers.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem admire either Hades or Kronos were willing to take part in his conflict.

As for resorting to violence? Felix had no interest in battling Kronos in his domain even when he understood that he was chained up to the limit. With his future foresight, it was nearly impossible to even catch him.

Plus, the only reason he was chained up was because he had helped him and Asna survive death.

"Thanks for helping me and Asna." While he was upset he left empty-handed, he didn't forget to show his appreciation. He truly meant it.

Without Kronos' timely interference, there wouldn't be a story to tell...

After Felix and his partners exited the frozen timeline, a faint murmur echoed across the eerie silence.

"Will he be the first one to succeed? I sure believe so...'

A short pause later.

'Time is running thin...'
