Same game as always. Reality out and reality in, just this time I seem to have arrived at the wrong time as well.
When I found Earth´s location, it had barely even formed properly, not even dinosaurs yet. Arriving at the wrong time twice in a row, I´m on a role. Bit to be fair it´s already a miracle that I arrived at the right time all other times already.
I had gotten a boost in my time travel ability last reality but that was only while traveling into the past and not the future, not to mention the future in 4 billion years.
I could instantly arrive at any point in the past but I still had to do it the old fashion, it better be worth it but from what I saw when I looked at fate, it will be.
The next few centuries, or billion of years depending how you view it, were actually rather interesting, I will see if I can experience it in person in the future but I don´t currently have time to waste billions of years.
I watched as life sprung from the primordial soup, evolved and got extinct again. It was truly fascinating to watch.
Crossing billions of years would originally taken much longer but while I was speeding up the time around me, I learned and advanced my time magic. This was probably the last time I was going to play with time because I was soon going to have a much better time power and unlike my magic it was biological, meaning it could evolve and grow passively.
Soon I arrived in the early 21th century, like really early.
I stopped my magic and just hovered above the Pacific Ocean while thinking about my next course of action.
There were several powers here that could be game changer or at least good growth material. Among them were Time-Space manipulation, Power absorption, Power fusion, adaptive muscle memory, cloning, Intuitive aptitude and many more.
The problem was Hiro, the owner of one of the most broken powers around, Time-Space Manipulation. He might be childish, inexperienced and has a hero-complex but if I don´t deal with him before he learns to control his powers, he will most certainly become a pain in the ass.
I doubt going back into the past to deal with him will be possible once he obtains his power, so I got to make this quick. I decided to first deal with him and think about any other steps later.
I didn´t know where he worked and didn´t have time to search for him, so I decided to wait for him somewhere where I knew he was going to appear after he just got his power, the Time Square.
I motionlessly stood there for months, almost a year, with a muggle repellant spell around me and concentrated on any unnatural space-time fluctuations and then it happened.
I felt space change and warp until a small Japanese man appeared. I could still feel the time-space continuum move according to his will, even if it sometimes looked like he was going to shit himself.
He took a moment to realize he wasn´t in the train anymore and had appeared exactly at the place the advertisement had shown, I used this moment to move behind him unnoticed and turn my arm into a blade.
As he was busy admiring the Time Square and what he had accomplished, I raised my arm and cut his head off. The anti muggle spell only applied to me, so people started screaming when someone suddenly lost his head, literally.
I ignored them and immediately absorbed his body. The assimilation was instant and perfect thanks to my new power. I instantly felt like sense for time and space had grown tremendously and was still going.
I could now officially declare myself as the Master of Time and Space. I now had almost complete control over it and time travels in both directions instantly, so this was a big upgrade.
Smiling at the new connection I felt with everything around me, I willed time to stop and stop it did.
Time and Space has now truly become my bitch.
I enjoyed the panicking faces of everyone around me for a while before going back to thinking about what to do next, still in a paused world.
I could swallow the whole planet again but I truly didn´t feel like it, I was in a hurry but not that much.
Guess I'm going to travel a bit again.
I wasn´t worried about powers like emphatic mimicry, power absorption or power negation but rather looked forward to meeting them. They would make great snacks.
