Adonis came out of his dimension room happily after putting them into a deep sleep. He kept them in a separate room so that his curious clones couldn't harm or disturb his work.
But the moment he walked out of there, he couldn't see his master.
Instead, a white snowcat was sitting on the ground full of green grass.
'Fu*k… I can't turn back to my original form-_-'
Adonis was speechless…
A few minutes ago, Viktor spotted the guardian of time a few meters away. She was secretly following Viktor and planning without any intention of attacking him.
She was the guardian of time so she had access to her future. Also, Viktor, who has access to everyone's records, has the ability to look into people's futures. So both of them knew what their future was and they were well on their guard.
In such a case, Viktor knew what to do and he changed his form into a cat and hid his presence.
The future began to change so quickly and when she was trying to process what to do next, her instinct warned her to stop the flow of time and run away.
But there was a limitation on how many times she can stop the time of earth in a day. In the meantime, a necklace was already around her neck.
The culprit was a cat, a white cat with silver-golden eyes. Also, she could no longer use her fragment. Not only that, but she also couldn't figure out where her fragment was. It felt like the fragment walked away from her body in a second.
Viktor smiled and said, 'Go to sleep.'
Her body became imbalanced and fell on the ground right after he commanded her. She was under the control of the slave chain and for that, she quickly went to sleep.
Viktor then put her body inside a dimension room and flew back from where he came from.
But for some reason, he couldn't change back to his real form.
The present time…
Adonis stood there without saying a word with wide orange eyes. His stare started to make Viktor feel irritated so he said, "Why are you staring at me like that? Am I wired-_-?"
Adonis slowly walked close to him and sat in front of him. "Is this what you meant when you said that you can change your appearance?"
"Out of all things, is this what you wanted to ask?"
"Master, may I ask for something-_-?"
"What-_-."
"Can I pet you until you turn back to your original form?"
Viktor glared at Adonis with his pale eyes but Adonis's face was too shiny to look at. He was staring at him with his light bulb eyes that he nearly became blind.
He could no longer say no after seeing his face.
"This will be the last time. There's no second time ….nyaaaaa!!!!!!!!"
…
'Seriously…no wonder why my cat used to be afraid of my ex-girlfriend's dog every time she used to visit my place-_-. Her dog liked my fluffy cat so much that he used to lick it to the point of being fully drenched by saliva. At the end of the day, I'd find my cat hiding under our sheets terrified of that bastard dog.'
'And the same thing is happening to me right now.'
Adonis was rolling on the grass with Viktor in his arms. He was so excited that he forgot to be elegant and became a cat-crazy person.
He was patting Viktor so much that Viktor could feel the static electricity flow all over his fur and underneath his cat skin. He became more fluffy because of it.
"Adonis, how long are you going to rub your hand on my head? I'm getting impatient. Also, I'm so sleepy. Can you stop now-_-?"
"Master, this is a lifetime opportunity. How can I miss this? I don't know when I'm going to get another chance like this. So please bear with it."
'Hah… I can feel the cat-form appearance time is finally over. I can finally turn back to my original form.'
Viktor popped back to his real form on Adonis's chest and said, "I'm never doing this again."
"Master!!! You're heavy!! Aaughh!!!"
"-_-Huh..Serves you right."
Viktor walked down from his chest and said, "Adonis. We got some company."
A few miles away from them, a swarm of bots became visible. The swarm was so huge that it looked like a dark cloud. They were all approaching the place where Viktor and Adonis were.
They were the bots' target.
"Adonis, I guess the village leader informed the king."
"I think so too. Should I take care of the bots, master?"
"No, let's just use invisibility and visit the tallest land. I want to collect some materials for my experiment."
"As you wish, master."
Both of them vanished from the spot and started their journey towards the unknown. A long path was awaiting them.
'Well, here we go now. I don't know how long we're going to stay here. But I'm sure I'll encounter an unexpected person right after I go back to earth. Someone is plotting something without even knowing the fact that I devoured his trump card.
He can no longer use her as his escape card.'
___________________________________
Back to earth in the present time.
Adonis saw his life flash before his eyes after memorizing, practising and calculating thousands of pages of equations just to prove that the answer was -0. Not 0.
While Viktor was looking through his future, Adonis was busy with his test.
It had been a month since they came back from E2 after 4 years of a short vacation. He wanted to stay longer but Viktor seemed to have different thoughts in his mind. After he finished collecting some rare materials from E2, he quickly went back to earth and focused on studying.
He was also studying the past of Elesis at last.
After devouring her fragment, Viktor finally got access to his brother's record. But it wasn't the same as he expected. He indeed got access to his record but that was also a clone.
For all this time, those four guardians in subspace were living with a fake one. There was an imposter among them and the clone also had no idea that he was the clone himself.
All this time, he knew he was the real one.
'So his clone got some identification issues. Not even his clones knew that they were all fake except for the real one and the workers' one.'
'What a messed up situation. His clones would wage war with his clones just to prove that they are the real ones. Hahaha… what are you even thinking, you bastard…'
He slammed the book on the desk and looked at Adonis. He was sweating hard because the test question was in hellish mode. His face was becoming paler because the time was almost up.
Viktor crossed his arm and leaned against his chair to rest his back. "Adonis, those questions are very easy."
"Tsk!.. master. Don't rub salt and pepper on my wounds."
"Hmmm. If you score 40% today, I'll make you a new watch."
Suddenly, Viktor saw Adonis went super saiyan mode. His aura was leaking out from every inch of his body that almost burned the small plant on Viktor's desk. He quickly covered the small cactus plant with his hand and said, "Calm down! Using aura during a test isn't permissible!!!"
"I want a new watch, master!!!!"
His aura was so bright that Viktor's vision went to a field of vibrant sunflowers. He forgot to cover his eyes.
'Ah…My poor eyes finally gave up. I'm blinded by Adonis lights…'
Viktor dropped his head on the table and shut his brain to fall asleep. He was too tired after reading a huge amount of information at a time.
A few hours later…
Viktor, who fell asleep to escape from reality, finally woke up because of Adonis. He was calling him to wake up because the dimension room was shrinking.
The owner of the dimension room was sleeping so deeply that it had started to lose its shape. So Adonis had to wake him up before they became stuck in the dimension void.
Getting stuck in a dimension gap or void means getting lost in the void. Void is a place that exists outside the reality where nothing exists. Time, god, non-living objects, not even energy exists. It's simply a place where creation is yet to take place. Getting lost in that place means losing one's existence. And all those magical rooms that Viktor creates exist in void. So, not even a god has access to his dimension room without his permission.
Viktor rubbed his eyes and asked, "The test is over already?"
He stood up and again asked, "Shall we go out? It's been a while since we're spending time with time acceleration magic. The outside world is still frozen."
"Yes, master. It's been 3 days since the exam started. I really want to drop dead on my bed."
"Hahaha.. Okay then. Let's have a nice meal before sleeping. I'll cook dinner."
"As you wish, master."
'I'll make sure to cook the tastiest dish tonight.'
