Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Brainchild

Raising a hand, to calm her down... "Time Bending Magic - Chronos Fora!"

The wave of time magic clashes into the tidal wave slowing it down to a stop, before the wave carries itself back to the broken pieces of the Ashen Star crab colliding with it.

Completely wrecked in its body having lost all its hard carapace and limbs, with its head piece missing leaving only the white calcified underbelly untouched.

Unbalanced, and turtled lying on its back seeping brain matter and innards into the sea the calcified tentacles on its underbelly began squirming towards the sky.

Curious... with such power its dead for sure...

World System update - God of Molten Magma, Ashen Star Crab. Body destroyed, molting has begun, revitalizing with Brain parasite intact.

The missing joints started bubbling at the nubs. Hot liquid magma explodes from all over its body flooding sulfured magma into the sea, like an underwater volcanic eruption, hot steam cooks the entire ecosystem below.

Suddenly smelling a mix of sulfur and hints of sweet, boiled seafood.

What was happening was that the Ashen Star Crab upon receiving a major blow kicked in its skill, unlimited regrowth, which began to ooze out more magma from of its missing joints and reshaped itself into new crusted Claw.

Despite dying physically, as long that Sea Star Parasite is untouched. This monster would endlessly regenerate. What a troublesome enemy truly God classed.

Pandora had placed himself at a safe distance atop some water breakers, from the endless and chaotic eruptions.

What he didn't realized was that the chaotic eruptions were a distraction... the Sea Star Parasite had silently swum beneath the waters undetected and was closing in on Pandora.

Obscured from our angle, the Sea Star Parasite lunged with its God Speed breaking out of the water like a torpedo and smashed straight into Pandora's face latching on and seeping mind overriding poisons.

I could feel the entire takeover of Pandora's mind through our soul link but was unable to effect in any way to prevent the takeover.

Watching helplessly as Pandora screams in agony, "Master! Please do what is required..." His words fade into silence as a new voice emerges.

Laughing eerily the voice animatronic telepathically conveyed... "I admit I was wrong... this body is the ultimate power! With the soul vow in place, I can use your skills through runic magic endlessly... even you don't have the heart to kill your familiar... Primordial Chimera..."

A stone sunk in my guts... Knowing what I must do.

Pandora's entire head now a bunch of wriggling white tentacles with sharp incisors at its mouth. His skin turns dry and calcified brimming with sharp thorns.

Winding up standing on its two legs like a cursed monster with a flower for a head.

"Time to die Primordial Chimera... once I possess your body I will come for Poseidon's head, to fulfil my vengeance for his denial of my request to be reborn again into a Siren."

"You are also a reincarnated like us?" Looking closely at me and then at Sagi. "Not like her... but exactly like you Primordial Chimera..."

"In this life the Gods spun a wheel and decided I was to be reborn into a fucking star fish. In my previous life I was a kindergarten teacher. Spending my days molding the young minds, educating them with knowledge and bring them on excursions."

"However, one day at the sea aquarium center while out with the kids, we watched this famous thrill-seeking zoologist dive into the tank of sting rays and was stabbed right in the heart."

"The children screamed in horror from the pure fear and sight of a grown man murdered, as I shielded them in my arms... rock hard."

"Those sounds they made were exhilarating and intoxicating, I needed more and so I did."

"It began with one, luring her into my place with promises of candy, then pure ecstasy such tightness illegal, the screams soothing my soul."

"Before I knew it the police had come knocking on my door with dozens of parents screaming but not the kind I liked... barging in ever so rudely while I was in the midst of stuffing one with vegetables and herbs in the back to be baked alive."

"Using the carrots were probably my favorite..." Laughing louder and louder manically.

"The next thing I knew I had been reborn into this Greek world of Gods and Monsters with the ability to control minds equal to or weaker than myself."

Utterly disgusted and repulsed from his story, "We may have been categorically assigned to be reborn as monsters, but make no mistake you are a child predator, while I enjoy harm free cultured content... We are not the same."

"You are a stain on life itself and must be eradicated."

"Your death will be a painful one... Space time creation Magic - Kairos, forge Sarin Cube."

The air molecules condense and freeze, packed in place immovable like a solid object, creating invisible walls, not letting a single atom pass through.

"Seems to me you have neurological damages in your brain let me help you with that."

The atoms in the box energized and broken down by my time magic creating chemical reactions and forming into compounds of methyl phosphonyl difluoride and isopropyl Alcohol.

The synthetic components now mixing to bind and form into deadly Sarin gas, 26 times more potent than cyanide.

"You think you can knock me out using some gas like a party trick!" as it flutily smashes the walls of the cube with God Claws."

"Enjoy your last breaths, Starfish... might be the last time you breathe air..."

The Sarin gas melts and gets absorbed into the calcified skin and through Pandora's nostrils.

"Nice job all you did was give me a runny nose... ark aw akr ark kvvfff"

The Demonic Star Leopard clutches its chest in agony, tears and saliva uncontrollably leaking. Organophosphate poisoning had leeched deep into his body disrupting all bodily functions losing control of them, vomiting, defecating, and urination.

Followed by the struggles of asphyxiation, twitching and convulsing on the ground, dead with blood shot eyes.

"World system update, Ally Familiar Slain... God of possessions, Demonic Sea Star Slain..."

Suddenly a magic sphere inscribed with time magic generates in front of me, in it I could see glimpses of movements from another timeline...

"Runic magic - Attis activated... Reload ally save point?"

It worked! Pandora managed to successfully cast my overlord time magic, with both of us withholding the ability of Attis the time stamp magic, if one of us dies it allows both of us to travel back in tandem with current knowledge and experience.

"Yes, load last save by ally."

The limp body of the possessed and disfigured Pandora levitates into the air, pulsating with immense power, in a large explosion his body released all the stored time energy and wiped all of existence that came into contact with the wave of time magic.

Passing through me harmlessly, I looked around nothing but white, no landscape no horizon and no sky, just blank.

The world around starts shaking, vibrating into existence the soil and pebbles where I stood, resuming the time and place which was saved and brought us back safely.

Pandora's mid sprint comes to screeching halt. Endowed with future knowledge through our soul link, he now knows that he has to one shot the demonic sea star at its core. Destroying this vile creature would be a pleasure to both of us.

Speaking telepathically to Pandora, "Although you are now my proxy, gifted with my magic you are unable to cast simultaneously... since that's the case, let's boost our power together with our own combination magic. He nods in agreement confidently.

Legendary Shadow magic - Curse of the light, empower the Dark... His jaws unleashed a blinding light, it forms into a self-sustaining ball of blinding light floating higher and higher into the sky.

The shadows around us grew five times as large, even more so for the Ashen Star Crab.

Pandora dives into the pool of shadow casting, "Runic Magic - Grower!"

Stretching an arm out towards him, Soul link Combination magic - enchant, time acceleration magic Chronos Dios, and imbue God Strength Magic.
