The battle between Jin and Azrath progresses further. With Jin dealing severe damages to Azrath who reverses all those injuries by using Time control. Chrollo and Jin's leuitenant assist him in fighting Azrath. Pissed by the resistance of the humans, he creates time duplicates of himself. these duplicates were versions of him from the previous minutes and hours. These clones were so numerous in number that it took the combined effort of Jin, Chrollo, his leuitenant and several other division captains to completely annihilate the clones of Azrath. this therefore depleted the energies of the captains. on the other side most of Azrath minions were taking care of by Dante's division and Shinsui's. The battle at the other fronts also faced similar situation like the Eastern body. Whereby 3 other gods had possessed the body of a human bypassing the heavenly restriction. Azrath condensed a large amount of Rin energy which was much stronger than the previous attack. This attack was rather meant to erase a persons body and put their soul in an infinite time loop. Dante noticed the destructive power of that attack and moved at an immense speed in order to save his captain before the attack could kill them. Dante managed to reach the attack and cancel it out but took severe damage. Dante exclaimed at how powerful that attack was but it was not enough to kill him. Azrath was extremely shocked at how Dante was able to cancel out an attack which even most of the higher dimensional gods cannot escape. Before Azrath could say a word Dante interrupted and called him by his true name "Chronos". This increased Azrath interest in Dante as he was shocked by how a mere human was not only able to cancel out his attack but know his true name. In order to properly find out who Dante is, Azrath released his domain and brought Dante to his realm "The time realm". The time realm is where time itself flows it can also be called the paths. As is the representation of Time in the entire multiverse and it was ruled by Chronos the God of time. Chronos was the first god to be created by Ran and was bestowed the power over time itself. it was from that period that time itself begun to flow in the universe and timelines were created.
So this is the time realm huh. Dante said as he was staring at the place.
indeed this is the realm of time. The beginning of all things, the flow of all timelines and events all reside here. Chronos replied. Looking at your expression and the flow of your energy I don't think you are any normal Human, he said.
Hmmmm you are right am not any normal human or to be precise am not a human. If I were a human my body wouldn't even last a second here. the energy flow in this realm is so dense and due to this place being the origin of time my entire body would have ceased to exist but it didn't. now then can you guess my race, asked Dante.
Chronos was puzzled by Dante's answer. what made Chronos more surprised was the fact that he couldn't see Dante in any other timeline and he couldn't see his past, present and future. For someone who rules over all of time this was a very shocking discovery to him. you are a god then he said.
Dante confirmed the answer and asked Chronos how he was able to bypass the heavenly restriction and come to the human world to which Chronos replied by saying," You can't come to the human realm without a host right. therefore a deal was made to the king of Sapphire kingdom. if he was able to retrieve the Cup of limitations from the dungeon of beginnings then we would help him defeat Avilor and rule the world".
Dante stood there for a while before asking Chronos how would he defeat the king and family leaders afterall didn't they receive the blessings of the supreme god Ran.
Chronos immediately summoned some chains which locked Dante in place as he was shocked by. a human n knowing the name of the former Supreme god.
Dante looked down with a dark and malicious face and smirked. he used just raw strength to break free from the chains of time and begun to reveal his identity. Did you know the supreme god had two sons? with the younger one dying during the rebellion and the eldest taking the throne and becoming the Supreme god. well guess what I am that youngest child and I am going to take back my throne.
after revealing his identity to Chronos, he was so shocked that for a brief moment all time stopped flowing in the universe. creating distortion in different realities, timelines and universes causing them to collapse. due to Chronos consciousness being linked to the time flow, any interruption in his thought process can lead to a huge damage in the time stream. if you are truly what you say you are then I can't let you live. any thing that shall become a treat to the supreme god must be eliminated even if is you,said Chronos.
I knew that is what you would say. after all your loyalty only lies to the supreme god even though you know he's a fake. before we fight I have something I want to ask you, Said Dante. You came here with your other siblings didn't you?
Chronos was hesitant to give an answer and kept quiet. this silence was more than enough to answer Dante's questions. there are four families among the gods who are deemed as the most powerful. this family is known as the "Overseers". The members of this family are death, Time, Destiny and oblivion.
Death rules over the concept of death itself and is an entity whose power is extended to all living life forms also she is the youngest sibling. this even includes the gods except for the Supreme God, the hand of the supreme god also known as the Jade emperor and the head of the pantheons. Death is limitless, nigh-omnipotent and very beautiful.
Chronos/Time rules over the concept of time and is the eldest of the siblings. being the first god created by Ran he's very powerful and limitless being second only to The jade emperor and the supreme god.
Destiny is the one who controls and makes all the events that will happen to a particular person or thing in the future. Her power allows her to rewrite or make a particular event that will happen to a person or even the universe. Destiny power is so immense that the supreme god Ran had to limit it in order to create a balance of power in the multiverse. this was because Destiny could re-write the entire life and events of a God reducing them to nothing. she is the third sibling and the most powerful amongst them.
Oblivion as his name implies is the end of all things. he represents the end of the universe and only takes delight in the destruction of the universe. As the end of all things Oblivion is able to destroy realities and universes at a whim and is immune to the concept of time.he is the polar opposite of his brother Chronos. Chronos represents the begining and continuation of things will Oblivion is the end of it. he is the second sibling and also the second most powerful sibling.
Even though Dante was a bit afraid he knew that he could still take them on. the reason was that for them to possess a body and bypass the restriction, their power would be drastically reduced to that of an Elven lord or a peak level human.
Dante asked Chronos if this place was separated from reality to which Chronos answered as a Yes. This made Dante very delighted. he switched off the restriction of the necklace and realeased his true power. his power was so immense that it shook the entire time realm and extended to different universes and realities.
Impossible! that is no mere power of a human. that is the power of someone who has grasped enlightenment. A power that allows one to defy all natural laws, a power that is able to shake not only the time realm but other universes and realities. you truly are the Indra son of Ran. seeing your power firsthand I can't let you escape, exclaimed Chronos.
Oh really we will see about that, said Dante as he takes his fighting stance by putting both of his hands inside his pockets. Chronos summons his time flask and prepares for the battle.
An intense showdown between two powerful gods is about to start. what will be the outcome of this battle?
