Chapter 410: Time for some action.
Lyneth and Amaryllis walked toward Aevia who was chained and shackled to the clock. Amaryllis was a bit anxious about Lyneth's decision, but she was also curious about why there was another Aevia in that hidden and abandoned place.
"Don't pretend to be asleep, I can see it with my eyes," Lyneth looked down at Aevia with hatred and anger.
Aevia opened her eyes and lifted her head to look at Lyneth and Amaryllis standing right in front of her. She looked at them and didn't say anything nor showed any expression as she tried to move her hands which made the chain rattle.
Lyneth didn't hesitate to grab Aevia's hair and pull it up, showing her dominance and that she didn't fear Aevia. She used her power to look into Aevia's memories, and it was projected right behind her back so Amaryllis could see what she saw.
"What's the meaning of this..." Lyneth squinted her eyes and removed her hand from Aevia's hair. "She has no memories," she couldn't believe it and it only brought more suspicion toward Aevia.
Amaryllis was surprised as well when all she saw was a black screen with a little bit of distortion. She believed that either Aevia's memories were wiped or something happened to her that put her in that condition. She then looked at Aevia from top to bottom and looked at the clock behind Aevia, an old clock similar to the one in Naux.
"She doesn't have any power within her either," Amaryllis pointed out after she tried to detect power within Aevia. "It's similar to those things that I brought," she continued.
"Speak," Lyneth stared coldly at Aevia.
Aevia looked at both of them back and forth for a few seconds and shook her head. It wasn't because she didn't want to speak, but because she couldn't speak as her mouth was sealed.
"There are so many questions that I want to ask, but it seems I can't get a single answer," Amaryllis said as she looked at Aevia. "It's your call. You said that you want to kill her, right?" She glanced at Lyneth.
"For whatever reason she's here in this place, Aevia didn't want her to die, and we will do exactly the opposite," Lyneth answered.
"Are you sure it's not something that she wanted?" Amaryllis asked again with her arms crossed. "What if she's waiting for us to kill her? What if she can't kill her because she shared something with her? What if the moment we killed her, Aevia gained something that she had been waiting for?" She added.
"There's a lot of what if, Amy. Why don't you just say what if we're wrong?" Lyneth responded as she kept staring at Aevia. "Are you afraid of being brave?" she asked.
"I'm afraid that us being foolish, Lyn," Amaryllis answered.
Lyneth sighed with her eyebrows furrowed as she thought about it more thoroughly. She knew that she could be wrong, she knew she could blow the whole plan up by doing this, and she knew that killing Aevia was unnecessary. She then took a few steps back after she realized that leaving Aevia alone there was the best option.
"We will come back to get you. Just wait here patiently," Lyneth said and then opened a realm in front of her like a portal. "Before I leave, maybe this will bring something valuable for us," she swiped her hand to the left and rewound the time in that space.
Amaryllis never expected that Lyneth could rewind the time in the space she was in. It was something that was too powerful even for her to be able to do that, and yet Lyneth could do it like it was nothing. She wondered how far Lyneth could rewind time because if Lyneth could turn back time all the way to the very first time that space was created, they could reveal the truth.
Lyneth was using all her power to rewind the time, and even though it looked like nothing had changed, she had rewound the time for thousands of years. She started to feel the fatigue in both her body and mind, but she didn't stop as she wanted to unfold the mystery as to why Aevia was locked in there.
Lyneth's eyes became red and they started to bleed as she started to breathe heavily. Her nose started to bleed as well and her body started to tremble and was on the brink of collapsing. She had rewound the time for millions of years, but nothing had unfolded as if Aevia had been in there longer than Lyneth could possibly reveal.
"That's enough, Lyn!" Amaryllis grabbed Lyneth's hand and stopped her from swiping. "If you force yourself, who knows what will happen to this space because you can no longer control the time," she warned as she looked at Lyneth's pale face covered in blood.
Lyneth stopped swiping not because she wanted to but because she couldn't use her power anymore. She collapsed in Amaryllis' arms and let Amaryllis take care of her since she couldn't do anything anymore. Amaryllis then opened a portal so she could take care of Lyneth, leaving Aevia on her own again.
Aevia watched those two leave, and then she closed her eyes because there was nothing she could do in that situation. She wondered who those people were and why they harbored such emotion toward her. She then thought about what those two were trying to show her since she couldn't tell what had happened.
Amaryllis and Lyneth went to the Empyrean World and saw everyone busy sparring and making a mess of the world. Seeing Lyneth's condition, everyone stopped to check on her and asked Amaryllis what had happened to Lyneth. She then explained the whole thing to them about another Aevia that was locked in a hidden space.
"It's nothing something that we need to think about at this moment. I believe it's already time for us to make a move, so we will move once Lyn is recovered," Amaryllis said as she looked at everyone.
They all nodded with understanding and went back to have another spar for one last time before they started for the real battle.
After a week of resting, Lyneth had finally recovered, and it took way longer than Amaryllis expected. Everyone had been so eager to go, and Sasha had finally trained all her army. It shocked everyone when Sasha had her own army and each one of them was strong enough to be on part with them. Somehow it was more terrifying to them and gave them all flashbacks of the trouble they went through to fight the abyss.
"Is everyone ready?" Amaryllis looked at everyone gathered outside the cabin.
"We are ready for the past week, what are you talking about?" Aurea scoffed with her arms crossed. "Let's just go because it's getting boring to fight each other," she added.
"Boring for you because you want to test the power with that gift on Aevia, don't you?" Jeanne glanced at Aurea.
"Let's be honest. If I use my power here, who can stop me?" Aurea asked and bragged about her power. "I don't think any of you can stop me," she pointed out.
"That's enough..." Lyneth paused as she looked at Aurea and the others arguing. "Let's move," she continued and then looked at Amaryllis as she nodded her head.
Amaryllis opened a portal above everyone's head, and they looked at it since they had never seen her opening a portal above them. The portal then descended and sent everyone to the Archive to the very first world that Aevia created.
"Wait," Lyneth stopped everyone from entering the whirlpool. "This isn't efficient," she said.
Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Lyneth with confused looks, but when they saw Lyneth making the whole space tremble, they witnessed something unbelievable. Lyneth reversed the time once again, and this time it wasn't futile like last time because whirlpools were slowly disappearing. She made the Archive empty with not a single whirlpool that could be seen except for one.
"Now that these worlds don't exist anymore, it can only mean one thing," Lyneth looked up at the surface of the water. "The first world is the only world that she has just created, and we can destroy it while she's creating a second world," she continued. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Now that's interesting. Does that mean once we destroy the first world, it will be gone forever now?" Jeanne looked at Lyneth.
"Yes, and she wouldn't know because she's busy dealing with the world that she's currently looking at. It's a matter of time until she realizes it, and when that happens, we can just fight her head-on and disturb her timeline," Lyneth answered as she nodded her head.
Everyone gathered in front of the whirlpool and looked at it for a moment. Then they all entered the record at the same time, and when they entered the world, Lyneth broke the barrier between the two realms and entered the world physically with the others.
"Finally, it's time for some action," Aurea smirked as she unsheathed her sword.
