"No need for now."
Facing Yuna's suggestion, Garon shook his head and spoke.
Garon wasn't particularly nervous about the imminent trouble. It was only natural. He was reluctant to actively use the Time Dragon's Reversal to summon his future self, but in a desperate situation, Garon wouldn't hesitate to use it. Since the Second Imaskar Empire was after the Imaskar Ring of Magic, which belonged to Garon, it wasn't appropriate to directly trouble the ancient power dragon.
"Let's think of other ways first."
"If there's really no other way, when the Second Imaskar Empire comes, we'll use the Time Dragon's Reversal to snatch their other Imaskar artifacts."
Garon thought silently to himself.
He looked at the Imaskar Ring of Magic, his face showing a contemplative expression.
However, after a few seconds, Garon's gaze shifted, and he held the Imaskar Ring of Magic in his dragon claw.
Within the Imaskar Ring of Magic, the power of time intertwined with force energy, forming an inner circle with magical runes that connected closely with the ring, binding the power of time and force energy together, creating Garon's door to space-time.
"I'll go to another timeline; the Second Imaskar Empire's connection with the ring will be cut off by the River of Time."
Garon didn't believe that the Second Imaskar Empire had the ability to locate other timelines.
Even if they did, they lacked the means to travel through time and space.
With this thought, Garon inquired of the Imaskar Ring of Magic.
"The first time I traveled through time and space, my connection with the other Imaskar artifacts was lost."
"It reappeared after I returned to the main timeline."
Garon called his own timeline the main timeline, having a deep connection with the River of Time only in this timeline. In other timelines, the River of Time felt foreign to him and did not belong to him.
After receiving the response from the Imaskar Ring of Magic, Garon nodded slightly.
He had been planning to use the door to space-time to visit other timelines after settling the matters on the planet Karla, and not just a simple attempt like last time, but a proper journey in other timelines to search for knowledge and items he desired.
Now, with the Second Imaskar Empire's fleet approaching, Garon's plan had to be expedited.
Once he used the door to space-time, no matter how the Second Imaskar Empire located it, they would not be able to cross timelines to find the position of the Imaskar Ring of Magic, posing no threat to the planet Karla. Moreover, the flow of time in other timelines differed from the main timeline, allowing Garon to stay longer in other timelines, looking for ways to deal with large-scale magical ships.
As for where to go...
Garon's thoughts quickly formed in his mind.
The Ancient Imaskar Empire!
Since the main body of the door to space-time was the Imaskar Ring of Magic, using it as a space-time anchor to open the door to space-time was the most appropriate action for Garon at the moment. Moreover, Garon coveted the other artifacts, and he could seize the Imaskar artifacts at the point when the Ancient Imaskar Empire was about to decline.
Then, he would confront the Second Imaskar Empire with the complete set of Imaskar artifacts.
Their expressions would surely be fascinating when they saw Garon with the full set of Imaskar artifacts.
"Yuna, I've decided to undertake another journey through space-time."
"In other timelines, the Second Imaskar Empire will completely lose contact with the artifacts."
Garon shared his thoughts with Yuna.
"There's no need to hide from them; we're not afraid."
"If the Second Imaskar Empire dares to come, I'll directly ask the Elder Power Dragon for help."
Yuna blinked and said.
With the backing of a powerful elder, Yuna thought that letting the Second Imaskar Empire come directly was fine. After all, once they arrived, they wouldn't just be facing Garon and Yuna, but at least adult Time Dragons and Ancient Power Dragons.
Garon shook his head and said, "I've been planning to visit other timelines recently anyway. Even without the Second Imaskar Empire's matter, I would still go."
"Moreover, I'd rather show this mechanical empire the consequences of provoking us through my own strength."
Garon always felt that Time Dragon's Reversal wasn't omnipotent.
In the future, there might be powerful enemies capable of disrupting the activation of Time Dragon's Reversal.
He didn't want to rely too heavily on the power of Time Dragon's Reversal.
This was a last resort to be used only when absolutely necessary. Garon wouldn't think of using Time Dragon's Reversal to solve some trouble, as it would only cause him to lose his ability to deal with crises.
"I understand."
Yuna nodded.
"In any case, if it doesn't work out, we can still ask the elder for help."
She said nonchalantly.
With a backup plan in place, both Garon and Yuna were confident enough to attempt their own trials.
After thinking for a while, Yuna curiously asked, "Can you take me with you?"
"I've never been to other timelines."
Garon shook his head and said, "With the current energy of the door to space-time, it's probably not enough for both of us to travel to a distant timeline at the same time."
Just going back a few years in the past didn't consume much energy from the door to space-time.
However, to go back thousands of years to the Ancient Imaskar Empire, even with the Imaskar Ring of Magic as an anchor for the space-time door, the energy was only just enough for Garon alone.
So Garon needed more Imaskar Rings of Magic.
Currently, he couldn't travel through time without external assistance. More Imaskar Rings of Magic could hold more power of time and force energy, allowing him to travel to more distant eras.
"Well then, I'll stay on the planet Karla and watch over your territory."
A smile appeared on Garon's face as he said, "Then I'll trouble you with that."
"Why be polite with me?"
Yuna blinked and said.
"Pay attention to the beastland summoning array. It won't last long. If the guardian beasts of the beastlands cause trouble before the array shuts down, just handle it."
Yuna nodded confidently and said, "With me here, you don't need to worry about the safety of the territory."
Then, Garon contacted Rockweld.
He told Rockweld that he would be away from the planet Karla for a while, and there was no hurry to officially establish the Dragon Court.
Since the aberrant monsters on the planet Karla were almost cleared, it was an urgent time for construction and vigorous development. Rockweld agreed with Garon's words, planning to start the official formation of the Dragon Court after the situation on the planet Karla stabilized a bit more and the true dragons had settled their forces.
In the meantime.
They could first remodel the planet Karla while refining their concept for the Dragon Court.
After contacting Rockweld, Garon informed his subjects in the territory that he would be away from the planet Karla for a while, asking them to fully develop the territory during this period. When he returned, he didn't want to see a territory that was still desolate and disordered.
As for how long he would be away, Garon thought he wouldn't disappear for too long.
Through the replenishment rate of the power of time, he could roughly estimate the difference in the flow of time between other timelines and the main timeline, determining how much time would pass in the main timeline. He wouldn't return to find that many years had passed, and Yuna had already reached adulthood or something similar.
Because the Second Imaskar Empire had already started locating the Imaskar Ring of Magic.
Garon didn't delay any longer on the planet Karla.
After finishing his instructions, Garon flew towards the high clouds, thousands of meters above.
In the midst of the fierce winds and rolling clouds, the silver dragon stretched out its claw.
Whoosh!
The Imaskar Ring of Magic flew out from his wrist, hovering vertically above the ground, and stationary in front of Garon.
With a thought from Garon, the diameter of the Imaskar Ring of Magic began to expand.
In just a breath's time, a strange screen of light, woven from the power of time and force energy, appeared before Garon's eyes, large enough to accommodate his massive form.
"The Ancient Imaskar Empire."
"Ferun Continent."
Garon looked at the opened door to space-time, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This was a powerful material world, nurturing not just one magic empire. With Garon's strength, going to the timeline of this material world, he was still among the most powerful beings. However, to claim he could sweep through the Ferun Continent was a bit unrealistic.
Looking down at the surface of the planet Karla, Garon withdrew his gaze.
The next moment, a flash of silver light vanished.
The silver dragon passed through the ring-shaped hovering door to space-time, disappearing from the main timeline.
The River of Time, spanning the sky, flowed quietly, showing no peculiar changes for the departure of the Time Dragon.
