Chapter 159 - Eternal Hourglass Absurdity

Back inside Parachenko Village, underneath the Clan Reserves, a certain reincarnated young was currently undergoing a massive internal, and external transformation.

Arthur's hair had grown rapidly, regaining its dark green tint, flowing freely and unhindered all the way past his shoulders blades. His eyes colour had shifted, and his pupils had become slightly slitted as he opened his eyes and enjoyed the boundless power that burst out from within him.

Arthur's origin essence, despite its thickness and purity, appeared completely crystalline in both shape and form. His origin essence sea, which was at the largest size naturally possible for a Fae Master possessed a slightly red tint to it, and indication of how close Arthur was to becoming a Rank 2 Fae Master.

The power of a Sovereign Boundary Physique, in addition to the Source Water from an Origin Essence Liquid Pond was extraordinarily powerful, almost inhumanely so.

The added bonus of Vein Limit Fae, Wood Essence Fae and bloodseeker leaf fae were also brought out, and Arthur, had a nearly infinite supply of origin essence to perpetuate his cultivation with.

There weren't any boundaries for any of the sub-realms within each Rank of Fae Master for Sovereign Boundary Physiques, and the gap between most great realms, such as Rank 1 and Rank 2 were as thin as paper.

Arthur, who was currently floating aimlessly within the Origin Essence Liquid Pond, stared up towards the cave ceiling, staring at the smooth cave walls.

There was something written about this within the something which he had neglected up until now.

The story between Formless Night Shadow and Luminous Golden Light halted there for the moment, directly after she was thrown into the Light Prison. The relationship between her and the only other person how could relate with her very existence would be hidden away from the world by the Light Race, fearing another potential attack....

During this time, the other members of the Myriad Races tried, again and again in order to create another half-human, half-Myriad Race member, in order to bridge the gap between them and the .

This continued research and development into the Laws and heavenly restrictions of the would eventually be unearthed by another member of the Myriad Races.

The "strongest" and most powerful member of the Myriad Races.

The "Time" Race. More commonly known throughout the Thirty Three Heavens, as the "Zeit" Race.

Despite the fact that they were the least numerous members of the Myriad Races, their lifespan, their talents and even the number of Fae Immortals dwarfed all other members of the Myriad Races.

It was rumoured that so long as a member of the Zeit Race had enough time, they could eventually grow to become a Rank 8 Fae Immortal.

After seeing the Light Race and the Shadow Race produce two failures, the Zeit Race eagerly sought to surpass the other two Races, and poured in countless hours, Fae and heavenly treasures in order to create their own Sovereign Boundary Physique.

This particular Physique.... was Ranked 3rd in terms of strength, even surpassing the powers of the Perpetual Titan Strength.

Eternal Hourglass Absurdity.

The name itself seemed.... off when spoken in the Human language, but in the ancient words of the Zeit Race, the name itself had a slightly different contextual meaning.

Hourglasses were time-keeping devices that were filled with sand on one end, and when flipped around, would measure the time it takes for all of the sand on one side to fall over to the next side. A primitive, yet quite beautiful method of measuring time.

The "absurdity" of the Eternal Hourglass Absurdity, was that once all the sand on one side had run out, then time would continue to go on unmeasured. It wasn't like a clock, that could keep turning until the ends of time.

Yet, whenever this Sovereign Boundary Physique needed to, it could reverse its own hourglass and move itself back in time to an earlier moment. That was the power of its Secondary Origin Fae.

Hourglass Reversal Fae.

Once the Time Race created the Eternal Hourglass Absurdity, they immediately presented her before the . Being the technically "fourth" member of the Human Race, the Time Race showed her off to the man they thought was their creator, but-.

Eternal Hourglass Absurdity had other ideas.

The girl, did not know of her elder brother or sister when she first met the and unbeknownst to them, had already awakened her origin essence sea.

You see, within the , it was stated that Eternal Hourglass Absurdity was meeting with her Father for the first time. However, with such a Fae like the Hourglass Reversal Fae at her disposal, she could go back in time and repeat things differently as much as she wanted.

It was unstated how far back she travelled. And unlike Arthur's Winter Solstice Salamander, she could control how far back she travelled.

The "first time" she met with the First Man, she raised her sword and tried to cut him down.

Crimson coloured blood splattered all over the ivory coloured floors, and the members of the Time Race instantly restrained Eternal Hourglass Absurdity, protecting the First Man from her wrath.

The words she spoke, were the first recorded thing that a Human child had said to their Human parent.

"I curse you! Devilish Father of ours! No matter how many times it takes, or how many times I must go back, I will take your head and use your blood to comfort the tears my siblings and I have shed!".

Before she could finish, one of the Zeit Race members knocked Eternal Hourglass Absurdity out before taking her back to Timeless Heaven.

She was thrown into the darkest, most isolated section of time that they could find, filled to the brim with monsters, demons, outer existences and everything in between, throwing away the key and removing all research and knowledge into Sovereign Boundary Physiques.

With this.... there existed two children whom desired to kill their Father.

And one.... who had yet to comprehend the feelings he was currently experiencing.

Despite the fact that this event had occurred, it didn't deter the other members of the Myriad Races. In fact, it made them only want to succeed where the Shadow Race and Zeit Race had failed.

The other Sovereign Boundary Physiques had yet to be created, and yet, one walked the path of the devil, another an innocent, immature young man, while the other, an ancient existence in the skin of a beautiful young woman.

Arthur let out a shallow breath, gently floating on the waters surface.

"I wonder if Eternal Hourglass Absurdity ever lived until this Era..... If the legend of the is to be believed, then she would've definitely been able to live far beyond the lifespan of both a human and a Zeit Race member....".

The notion seemed unlikely, due to the fact that the Eternal Hourglass Absurdity Sovereign Boundary Physique wielder currently existed within the world. Similarly, in the possession of a young girl on one of the other Continents in Human Heaven.

Arthur raised an eyebrow for a second, calculating a few things before shaking his head and letting out a sigh.

"By my estimate, she should be around 13-14 years old. Even if I were to leave the Kovacs Clan right now, I would still be short of her awakening by several years. For the time being.... I guess I better just reach Rank 2".
