Kronos shook his head when he noticed that barely anyone understood his simplified explanation.
A faint smile crossed his face.
He understood the mechanism of timelines because he had been nearly erased by Time multiple times.
The ignorance of his peers only proved they had not yet suffered at the hands of Time.
He wished it would remain that way.
"Neo and his existence are the same," Kronos said, pointing at Jack with his chin.
"They should be dead, but their deaths would cause a major paradox. Thus, to solve the paradox, Time allows them to exist even though they should've been erased."
Jack blinked in stupefaction.
Listening to Kronos refreshed his memory, and he was able to recall the lessons he was taught at the academy.
Kronos's explanation had small problems, but it was mostly correct.
The absurdity of it all left Jack in shock.
