Null Dimension, 2 am. Chris's mansion.
Chris is sitting at the corridor in his living room that faced the stone garden, working with his laptop, Rei had left the mansion an hour ago due to some formal matters. Then he makes a phone call with his cellphone.
"I had detected the position of that time traveler and blocked him in the time interval dimension, please get someone to bring him back to the Kingdom, dig out any of his companions, we don't need any leftover time travelers that wandered in that delusional time dimension." said Chris to the person at the other side of the phone.
"Tsk... After all these years, these stubborn idiots still haven't given up on such a meaningless thing." said Chris before giving out a short sigh.
"What is a delusional time dimension? And why time traveling is considered as meaningless?" a cute childish voice asked, it's Bu who had been peeping at Chris from behind the curtain.
"Bu? Why are you hiding in the curtain? It's quite suffocating in there, come over here." said Chris as he saw that naive little boy. And so Bo joined Chris at the corridor.
"Where is Gan?" Chris asked.
"Gan is helping Satoshi-San to prepare breakfast." said Bu.
"Breakfast? But it's only 2 am." said Chris.
Bu shrugged and stared at Chris hoping to get answers to his questions.
"Ah... I see. You are really interested in the time traveling's topic huh?" Chris asked and Bu nodded in excitement.
"Alright then, I guess I will explain it in words you can understand as I'm not that busy right now." said Chris.
"Let's see, let me first explain about the time paradox. Have you ever heard of Grandfather Paradox?" said Chris and Bu shook his head.
"Alright, let's imagine a situation. A time traveler traveled back to the time when his grandfather is still a child and killed him. Spotted any contradiction here?" Chris asked.
Bu thought for a while.
"Ah... If he killed his grandfather, then he would not be born either. But then who would be the one that killed his grandfather?" said Bu.
"Mhmm... This contradiction is what we called as time paradox. Usually, when this situation happens, the natural will somewhat repair and adjust it back to how it used to be, and the grandfather will still be alive and he will still exist, which means no matter what you trying to do to the past, what will happen will happen, and can never be changed. Well... That is if they are actually did a 'real time traveling'." said Chris, try to explain in the easiest way to understand.
"Hmm? Does that mean that they didn't actually travelled through time?" Bu asked again.
"Well, this will be related to the delusional time dimension..." said Chris. However, before he continues, his phone rang. It's from 'a random errand boy'...
10 minutes later.
"Yes, I am aware of that. Make a full report of the damage status of that city and send it to me in an hour, and report to me whenever there are any updates to the situation, even the tiniest bit of detail is important. Okay, I am cutting off the call." said Chris to the phone.
Then he put down the phone and stared at Bu who is still waiting for him.
"Alright... Where were we just now? Delusional time dimension. This delusional time dimension is like an advanced carbon copy of the real-time, where it recorded everything that happened in the past and predicted what will happen in the future through some unique calculations. Those time travelers thought that they had successfully traveled back to the past or to the future but in fact, they only reached those 'carbon copy' in the delusional time dimension. So, whatever they did are actually in the carbon copy instead of the real-time. This is why I said what they did are meaningless." said Chris.
"I see, but if it is so meaningless then why everyone so concerned about those time travelers?" Bu asked again.
"Well, you see, this carbon copy despite of the fact that it is not the real timeline, it is still somewhat related to the real world, like a shadow to an object. They are somewhat linked with each other through an interval dimension. Anything that happened in the carbon copy, especially the contradictions, will cause a disruption and imbalance to this connection. And this caused a disruption of the dimensional link to the associated dimension and sometimes created a vortex point that will destroy everything around it." said Chris."
"For example, many years ago, someone tried to stop the forming of this dimension to comply a random doomsday premonition, but instead of ending the world, they accidentally created a really serious paradox and contradiction in the carbon copy, which later caused a wide-ranged disruption of dimension link all over this Null Dimension bringing in all the foreign species from the other dimensions, we take a whole decade to repair the damage they caused." said Chris, kind of irritated by that past.
"Ah! I see, so they are very troublesome bad guys." said Bu, probably not very understand what Chris said just now.
"Yes, you can interpret it that way... Hmm?" Chris's phone rang again, and he answered it, but this time, he frowned, things don't seem to be going on so well...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A while later.
"Satoshi, prepare my private plane, I'm going to have a flight to Seoul. Oh! And tell Sky that I probably won't be able to make it back in time for the tournament, he probably needs to get another person to replace me." said Chris as he walked out from the door in a rush...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
