Chapter 87: Training (1)

"As I said, sit down on the floor and sit cross-legged, and today, until the feast, we will try to develop the idea of time in your mind and consider how it should be constructed in Chaos' eyes."

As soon as the light of the next day dawned, Chronos entered James' room in a dawn raid forcibly detained him took him back to the place where he had first arrived and spoke to him the words he had just heard.

James didn't even get a chance to wash his face and somehow managed to wake up and do as Chronos told him, and then Chronos asked: S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What is time in your eyes, James?"

James shrugged his shoulders when he heard this question and then said, "Something that cannot be stopped? That is if you don't have absolute power as you say."

Chronos shook his head at this answer and then said, "Yes and no. Look around you, what do you see?" he replied and asked.

When James heard this question, he stopped where he was for a few seconds, and then he looked carefully at everyone around him, including the Chaos-Borns watching them. At that moment he said "Elements?" as if something came to his mind.

Everyone noticed that Chronos smiled when he heard this answer from James.

"Actually, you're not that stupid, that's a good thing," Chaos said, and then reached into his inventory and pulled out a piece of dry wood.

"Look James, everything you see around you is made of elements. Our bodies, the ground we walk on, the air we breathe, and so much more. Time and space are elements just like the rest."

When Chronos heard these words, James scratched his head and then said, "Are you sure you want to say that in public?"

When Chronos smiled, he said, "Yes, no one can attempt anything without my permission, the element itself will not accept them, so I told you to choose me." and then continued his speech:

"When I look at the others I see an hourglass, I can see the slight changes in the single timeline I told you about yesterday, increasing or decreasing with each step they take, this element helps me to see everything faster and that's why I perform better even in battles."

James shook his head as he heard the words and then asked, "And what exactly am I going to do about it?"

Hearing this, Chronos smiled and then said, "Close your eyes, think about the past, the future and the present. You will see how many possibilities there are. But you need to feel the specialness of this timeline."

James was very, very confused, he could not suddenly feel something he had never felt before.

But he closed his eyes and started to think.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes...No matter how long he thought, nothing had changed, he could not see what could happen.

"Not working, I am so gonna lose my mind." James said, opening his eyes and instantly seeing the surprise in Chronos' eyes, then he asked "Did it work?".

"Surprisingly faster than I thought it would, though there's still one more obstacle before you can fully access your thoughts and start to see everything," Chronos said.

When James curiously asked Chronos, "What exactly is that obstacle?" Chronos replied, "Let it flow, let it go, let your bad past leave your thoughts so you can be the best."

When James heard these words, he turned his head directly to Nemesis, Nemesis' smile surprised all the gods around, and James had already closed his eyes back.

"We are so gonna talk about this later little girl." Nyx suddenly said, and then all eyes turned back to James.

A thousand and one thoughts ran through James' mind. The memory of his family's death was constantly flashing before his eyes and the worry in his heart took a different turn. Nevertheless, what Chronos said was true, if he didn't let them go, he would be left just like on the first floor.

He was constantly thinking about different moments and started to think about how his life would have gone if something hadn't gone wrong that day when they were in the car.

Maybe if his father and mother hadn't died, he wouldn't have been poor, he would have been rich. Maybe he would have never met Lily and would have met someone who loved him, maybe even married.

Nevertheless, what was done was done and there was no need to fight between what was done and what was done.

James took a deep breath and let it out as he went through all these thoughts one after the other. His heart was pounding, he didn't know what was going on, but he could feel a different energy around him.

"He did it." Chronos suddenly said and reached out his hand towards James and began to gather the energy around him, if the energy had got out of control James would have gained nothing and might even have lost something.

As the energy around him gathered, many of his memories became visible. There was a slight twinge of bitterness as those around began to watch the memories with naked eyes.

They could see James as a little boy, his first kiss, his first betrayal and many other things.

Even Chronos was saddened that a little human boy had suffered so much, that his life had developed strangely.

After a while, James' memories began to change and show his later times. The happiness he felt when he first entered the tower, the love he felt for the believers he had, the fact that he saw the Chaos-Born as family, and the fact that he saw Nyx herself as a mother, touched everyone.

"Huag....." James suddenly opened his eyes with a choked breath, he looked sweaty, he didn't know what was going on but he could see the window in front of him very clearly.

His smile widened, this was very good news.
