Chapter 1354 He Is Not Barron Diov

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

-------------------------

"I won't let you bring the alliance army to my door steps,"

Guards surrounded Barron Diov the moment Emperor Dhios said that and awaited his instruction.

"I shouldn't have to use this for an enemy of your level but..."

Ting~

They all watched as a strange looking hourglass with golden sands appeared in Barron Diov grasp.

"You destroyed something... I need to get it back," Barron Diov said while turning the hourglass upside down and throwing it into the air.

"Whaa~" Before Emperor Dhios or any of the guards around could make a move, a golden glow suddenly burst forth, causing every single living thing in the universe to come to a stop.

The golden sands in the hourglass began pouring down in small quantities.

"How many minutes ago do you reckon that happened?" Barron Diov who was obviously Gustav in disguise inquired.

("Maybe ten minutes will be enough,") The system responded internally.

"Hmm... I got here fifteen minutes earlier than the timer I was given because I saw Matilda getting her ass handed to her. Yet I was still late..." Gustav shook his head.

("Careful not to use the ancient hourglass regularly. Remember it feeds off your lifeforce energy,") The system cautioned.

"Yeah I'm aware. It may be mine but its still a very powerful sacred item. This time was inevitable since he destroyed the machine," Gustav said with a tone of understanding. Findd new stories at novelhall.com

"That's enough," Gustav said while reaching out to grab the ancient hourglass.

The moment he held it, the sands stopped pouring.

THRRIIIIHHHH~

Everything in the vicinity suddenly began to undergo a state of reversal. However, this wasn't happening just here alone. It was happening in every single galaxy in the universe.

Gustav watched the Emperor move back and ascend into the air with the pieces of the separated machine merging and returning to its original state. Tuenviq's limbs also returned with the exception of his right arm as he ascended across the air with the machine in his grasp.

Time soon rewound to the point where Tuenviq was back on the ground with a missing arm and Emperor Dhios had the Machine in his grasp.

"Its slowing down. I thought you said ten minutes will be enough?" Gustav questioned with a tone of dissatisfaction.

("Looks pretty okay to me," ) The system answered.

"The creator of the machine was already killed here," Gustav pointed out.

("So?") One could picture the system shrugging its shoulders with the tone used.

"I have to use this again then," Gustav voiced while holding up the hourglass.

("Don't. Didn't I just warn you about frequent usage?" The system opposed with a strong tone.

"He is still gonna be dead when time resumes," Gustav stated.

("What does that matter? You can operate the machine. If Tuenviq who has no prior experience with technology could do it what stops you from succeeding? You can't be that stupid... or can you?") The system voiced with a tone of apprehension.

"That's not the issue..." Gustav answered.

"Let's step outside for a bit."

Twwwhhiisssshhh~

Both their figures suddenly vanished, leaving Dahria, Toldou, Tuenviq and the others there.

"That is Gustav Crimson..." Toldou stated with a look of astonishment.

"We're saved! Hahaha!" Tuenviq yelled as he began laughing in relief.

"We're saved!" Everyone else within the underground garden prison began jubilating as well.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Toldou and a few others in all black quickly ran towards the purple-skinned beautiful lady with black markings on her forehead.

"I'm fine. I'm fine... looks like Matilda succeeded in freeing us..." Tears of joy began streaming down her face as the other royals also looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yes, she did it... Dahria, you're you again."

"Seline, you too..." The three last royal family members hugged one another.

While they were still in a state of celebration, hundreds of guards trooped in with weapons.

The ten original royal guards who had regained their freedom, moved to Dahria's front to protect her.

Dahria patted one of the soldier's shoulders from behind who then proceeded to move away and give her space to pass through.

Dahria stood before everyone as the black marking on her forehead lit up.

"I am Empress Dahria. Bow..." She uttered with an authoritative tone.

The thousands of guards at the entrance of the underground garden prison, instantly fell to their knees.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

They found themselves unable to go against her command. As they peered forward in disbelief. They realized that she was the true empress — the heir to the throne...

And she had regained her free will.

"Tell the people of Abruikis that I have returned," Her unwaveringly powerful tone spread across the environment like a divine mandate.

....

~Above the surface~

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!

Sounds of multiple clashes rang out as powerful figures streaked across the night sky while exchanging numerous blows.

It looked like the sky was being ripped apart as sounds akin to a hundred thunderbolts rang out vibrantly. The grounds quaked in the wake of the battle and the natives found themselves unable to sleep.

Thwwwooooshhh~

After another loud clash rang out, the figures in mid air separated. On one side, a figure looked untouched while on the other side, two figures looked roughened up.

"How is he so powerful?" Emperor Dhios yelled to the one beside him who was clad in a red shell like armor.

"My Lord I was trying to tell you but you didn't wait to listen to everything I had to say," General Borl stated while letting out hurried breaths.

"What?" Emperor Dhios had an irked expression as he uttered.

"He isn't Barron Diov... He is Gustav Crimson," General Borl revealed with a tone of wariness.
