Chapter 251 250. The Clock Of Fate (2).

Name:Villain of my own novel Author:
"Karma." Eshwar mumbled, and a 3-meter-long black coloured line materialised in front of him; if not for the aura that was oozing, it wouldn't have even been visible to Isha because of how dark Eshwar's domain was.

And in the next instance, when that line disappeared and reappeared right in front of the clock of fate and combined itself with the clock, becoming another hand in the clock, they couldn't do anything but stare at the clock of fate repair itself. This phenomenon was taking place because Eshwar realised the clock of fate's existence and connected Seol So-Young, his novel, and even karma with it, connecting everything that happened in his life after the avalanche that struck the entirety of India when his world seemed to stop for the first time.

"So, this was the "right" that karma required; it was just a part of the clock that decided my fate." Eshwar's mumbled words sounded in front of Isha, and though she didn't know what he was talking about, she noticed that he was becoming weaker and weaker, until the entirety of his overpowering aura disappeared.

"Eshwar...." Isha called out in a concerned tone.

"I know." Eshwar just glanced back at her from the corner of his eyes with a small smile, which reassured Isha. And soon the entire clock was fixed and gave off an overbearing aura that forced Isha to her knees, but Eshwar didn't seem to be affected by any of the aura that the clock oozed.

"Return everything that you took from me." Eshwar said, in a commanding tone that Isha had never heard before. It made her shudder in fear, but because she knew that he wasn't really like that, she calmed down. But even though her head was forced to stare at the flaming ground, she could hear some kind of clunking sound.

Unbeknownst to Isha, Eshwar was crushing the clock with aether. The power he gained because of "the clock of fate's" hand and the consciousness, karma, that merged back with it awakened its sense of self. If it hadn't had a consciousness, maybe Eshwar would have been nothing but an "error" or a "bug" that needed to be removed, but since it unfortunately just gained a consciousness, it began to fear him. Because though it had lost its ability to converse and the biggest part of its consciousness when the clock lost karma, but it still had been with him, seen him so far, so it knew that if it didn't do what he asked for, then this crazy basta*d, Eshwar, would do absolutely anything to take back what's rightfully his.

<%®¥¥¢€`•°¥~€@_''££+;"#€¢©%> The clock's voice, with its low ticking sound, sounded in Eshwar's mind, and though the words seemed indescribable, he was able to understand them.

'It goes against the laws, so it cannot be returned, but the ability to control aether that you gained can be with you, huh....' Eshwar repeated the clock's words in his mind and grinned inwardly.

"It doesn't matter; I know that I gained the ability to control on my own cord, and the abilities you "ate" away were also something that I gained on my own cord," Eshwar replied. The clock knew that, that wasn't all he had to say, so it simply sensed him without saying anything.

"So, because it is against the laws or whatever, I need compensation," Eshwar said and continued.

"Information. Give me information about aether and everything else that you have about it, so I can use aether in the same way as I used my other abilities that you took away." Eshwar said, though the clock knew that he was asking for something absurd, because aether was something that "controlled" absolutely everything; not even divinity was able to do such a thing, but even though something felt off, the clock couldn't find any words to refute him, because except for looking after the fates of all living beings, the clock didn't know about anything else, and due to it not being an omniscient one like Eunomia, it wasn't really in a position to do anything but agree with his "conditions." conditions, because it was also a price for letting the clock go without destroying it.

DING

[User is given a new Skill: Wish (1 use), for fulfilling the requirements for the "Clock of Fate's" rebirth.]

Eshwar frowned deeply upon reading the system notification, thinking that the clock of fate was messing with him by indirectly asking him to use the "Wish" if he wanted the information about aether. He got ready to crush the clock of fate for real this time, and his intentions were clearly visible through the killing intent that oozed out of his body, slowly beginning to take the shape of a black king cobra.

<®^¥%^$¢©¥[email protected]_'-;(;*#©¥¢> The clock's voice sounded in his mind again, and as soon as he heard those words, his brows ceased to furrow, and without waiting for Eshwar's response, the clock of fate disappeared, freeing him from the worst possible curse.

'Thank you very much, huh....' Eshwar repeated the clock's words in his mind.

"How can you be so grateful to me when I was just about to kill you...." Eshwar mumbled with a touched expression on his face. Unbeknownst to him, the clock of fate wasn't really able to feel the killing intent properly because it had yet to get used to its old but new consciousness. But well, because of this small misunderstanding, Eshwar seemed to be getting better, so it wasn't really a bad thing.

"Uckh!!!" Soon, even without using the wish, a massive flood of information rushed into his mind, and the information about how to manipulate aether rushed in. His thoughts about how his control over aether had improved were instantly crushed by the complexity of the information that forced itself into his mind. Due to mind-numbing pain, he fell on his knee, and Isha, who was free from the pressure that bore down on her, stood back up and zoomed towards Eshwar with a concerned look on her face.

"Huff, huff...haaa.... hahahaha." Eshwar huffed for a split second before beginning to laugh while holding his head.

"I'm back." Eshwar mumbled and fell on his back while staring at Isha with her eyes; she didn't know what, but something seemed to have changed in him, and she liked him like that.

"Why did you choose to be an elf?" Isha ignored whatever had just happened because from the look on his face, she knew that everything had gone well, so she asked what she was most curious about.

"Huh?" Eshwar stared at her with puzzled look on his face.
