87. The Lord of Dimension.

Ruins of the Universe, General Zod's Tomb.

Alex had been meditating here for seventeen years. Since mastering the timepad, Alex found that his concept of 'time' had subtly changed. For beings within the timeline, time is an untouchable grand law; no one can control such a powerful force. Even with the legendary Time Stone, time remains an entity that cannot be easily manipulated.

Those who play with time will eventually be played by time. This is the warning passed down from every Supreme Sorcerer to the next because human minds cannot comprehend the true essence of time. But for Alex, after being able to freely traverse different multiverses, he had unconsciously transcended the concept of 'time.'

The flow of time varies in each universe. With the help of Miss Minutes, Alex could set 'anchors' between two universes to achieve cross-time travel.

For example, if Alex set an anchor the moment he left the All-New, All-Different Universe, no matter how long he stayed in other universes, he could return to that fixed point in time. In simple terms, he was exploiting a loophole in the multiverse. However, this seemingly simple task is extremely dangerous. The anchors set by Miss Minutes resemble nails hammered into a flowing timeline. Any mistake could result in multiple Alexes appearing on the same timeline, potentially causing the entire universe to collapse. Therefore, before deciding to exploit this loophole, Alex had thoroughly calculated and planned with Miss Minutes.

Ultimately, Alex focused on the Ruins of the Universe because it was the only universe fully recorded in the time controller. Even if something went wrong, Alex could use the time controller to solve the problem.

Alex's goal was singular: to meditate for an extended period to enhance his mastery of magic. To better learn magic and control this extraordinary power he had never encountered before, Alex brought along John, the vampire wizard.

Originally, Alex intended to bring along the witch Linda as well. However, since her direct superior self-destructed at a glance at Alex, she refused any contact with him and directly expelled Alex and his companions from her home, which Alex had to accept.

During these seventeen years, neither Alex nor John had changed much. John, being an immortal, could live indefinitely as long as he had blood, while Alex, being the master of the time controller, found that 'time' left no marks on his body.

Initially, Alex was unaware of this until he began practicing magic under John's guidance. He was surprised to find a vast amount of energy within his body, which made him a sort of radioactive source that resisted the erosion of time.

Fortunately, after seventeen years of practice, Alex had made significant progress. He might not match the proficiency of Doctor Strange, who had read countless forbidden magic books, but Alex was confident his magic use was comparable to that of ordinary sorcerers.

Slowly opening his eyes, Alex raised his hand, and a surge of gray energy gathered in his palm.

"John, how long have we been here?"

"Six thousand four hundred and eleven days, sir." John immediately appeared by Alex's side, head bowed, and replied.

"It's been that long, huh? Time to go back." Alex murmured. Practicing magic often led to losing track of time, especially when one could feel their magical power growing every moment, making it easy to get lost in the pursuit of strength.

Thankfully, with John, the 'loyal servant,' by his side, Alex didn't feel too lonely over the years.

John kept his head down, silent. As an observer, he was most qualified to speak on Alex's rapid growth in power. After a year here, John realized he could no longer teach Alex. Over time, John gradually embraced his role as a servant, tending to Alex's daily needs.

And he also enjoyed trying the fresh blood from another universe.
