Chapter 3 - The time and space seal

As soon as Williams discovered something that could help him complete his job more quickly, he excitedly stood up.

"You have no idea how long I have been trying to find you. No, not specifically you, but the space seal." He smiled reassuringly as he spoke.

Bella spread out her palms and questioned, "Why would you need my power?" with a cautious demeanor.

Williams sighed and said, "Hmph. No need to get pompous. I don't mean any harm. Do you recall the tale I told you about my transmission? It's real!".

"Hahahahahahahaha! ".. pfft... Bella laughed so hard that her stomach began to hurt. "So you transmigrated from Krypton to Earth," she continued, wiping the tear from her eye.

"You have a choice, believe it or not. So even if you can't teleport, I still need your assistance. You own the space seal within you, and it involves manipulating space."

Williams said, unsure of how she would respond.

Bella was silent on the other side, which was unusual for her. She pursed her lips and inquired, "What do you mean the seal of space?" after a period of time had passed in quiet.

When she was prepared to listen to him, Williams was relieved. And if a fight broke out, he was confident that he could beat her, but he couldn't guarantee that he would keep her.

"Come sit, it's a long story", he said as he sat on the bed and stroked his side.

Bella didn't feel uncomfortable sitting next to him because they had been traveling together in prison for such a long time that they had grown somewhat accustomed to one another.

I'm all ears, she walked effortlessly over to sit down next to him.

"After two years,"

"Wait!"

What's going on? Williams was now becoming irritated with the manners of this woman.

Give me a moment, I'll be back.

She briefly disappeared before returning.

Nothing was different; she went back the exact way she came. With the exception of. Williams lost his ability to speak when he ran out of words. After calming down, he sharply reprimanded her, "Why on earth did you need popcorn. Do you really believe I'm here to be a joke? I'm not kidding. It controls their life and death. 

Bella's tiny lips was eating on the popcorn 

Crunch 

Crunches

 "Are you starting now or what?" She said, attempting to keep the popcorn from falling out of her mouth.

A few minutes later, they were now facing each other while sitting cross-legged.

"I was shot to death two years ago, but the mana apocalypse raised me from the grave."

"I was meant to return as an undead, but for reasons that are yet unclear, I was revived. Thought I was entirely recovered, but a year ago I started experiencing a severe headache that only seemed to get worse with time.

Anyway, everything was well up until I ran into an elf. When I was strong enough, she gave me advice on how to fix my issue in exchange for a favor. It turns out that the mana surge entered our planet two years ago. Seven distinct stones that might destroy one-tenth of the world were made in a dense manner. The others are currently unaware of the significance and powers of the stones, or there will be a full-scale conflict.

"Since I was brought back to life after dying, the universe views me as an aberration, and nature uses my soul to restore balance. The mana stone and this blade are the only things keeping me alive, but they aren't enough. They help me increase my strength and prolong my vitality. It also enlarge my seal of time"

"Wait....wait.....wait, what do you mean by the seal of time?" Stuffing her mouth with popcorn, she inquired with raised eyebrow.

He stood up and stretched his body before continuing, "Has you have the seal of space, I also am stamped with the seal of time. As these two are the two most powerful seal, we can strengthen them by absorbing the mana stones."

Crunch

"How many sealed people exist?"

"Sigh" Williams sighed and continued, "Even I don't know the number of seal there are. But there's no one powerful like the seal of time and space."

"Hm" Bella nodded her head and threw the last of popcorn into her mouth. Standing up, she was now at an eye level with Williams, "So where is my part in your risky and thrilling adventure."

"You will help me achieve what no human as never done. Time travel!"

"I'm in" She replied almost instantly.

Williams moved a step forward and his expression turned serious, "You may not be aware but there are risk. I mean death risk"

"Oh.... Yeah. So where are we going?" 

"The past" Williams said with a grave expression, " October 4 2084. The day I died".

In order to prevent your death, we must travel back in time. As soon as Bella heard the date, her eyes lit up with excitement, suggesting that this was a special occasion for her.

What is your true skill then? Williams was genuinely curious.

"What do you mean ability?" I asked. Bella was bewildered.

Does that imply that you cannot extend your hand?

Bella extended her hands in front of her. He took her hands, closed his eyes, and focused. Bella felt a calming force suddenly come from within her, and then...Bang!

He was blown away by an unstoppable force as his back hit the walls.

He stood up and had a somber expression on his face.

"Your elements— it's the darkness", Williams said.
