Chapter 1515 Confusion [2]

Chapter 1515 Confusion [2]

Damien noticed it first, but even for him, it took months.

How many months...?

He genuinely wasn't sure.

'The law of time has changed. It's not stable anymore.'

Months, days, weeks, it was hard to tell which one was passing when the day and night cycle ended.

Months had passed since Damien returned to the Celestial Prison. That much was for certain.

But how did these months pass?

He wasn't quite sure. It all happened so fast that it was hard to take reality as reality.

Damien's mind immediately began to race.

At this point, he was still above the western ocean of the Divine Order's territory. He'd only recently sent news back of the Five Gods' death, and he was already receiving news back about the things that happened afterwards.

But wasn't it only a few moments ago that they'd died?

How was time able to move in such a way that the Southwestern Region could be cleared and left for him to take over?

At first, Damien thought it was just him.

He'd just left the Celestial Prison, after all. He'd been subjected to a space unlike any other he'd been to, so if reality warped around him when he left, it made sense.

If it was solely his problem, it was easy to solve. The source of the issue could only be one of a few options, so if Damien isolated and took care of them one by one, he'd find himself back in a stable reality.

But it wasn't only his problem.

Others had experienced similar things, though, not to the same extent as him.

He still didn't know this, but he could infer based on the way events played out that this problem wasn't exclusively related to him.

'What's...happening?'

The realization came just as fast and hard as reality itself when it hit him. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

In the first place, where did all of this come from?

Was it the fact that conflict was at a minimum right now?

'The Divine Order subjugation went pretty swimmingly. Even if there was a hiccup at the end, it wasn't much of a hiccup at all.'

That "hiccup" must've felt like the end of the world to those who were its victims, but to Damien, it was really just a drop in the ocean, something without much presence.

It shouldn't have been like that.

'But it just doesn't feel real.'

Damien frowned to himself.

It was changing, molding to something other than the other it had relied on for so long.

And for unknown reasons, the first step in that change was Space and Time.

'Do I need to do something about it...?' Damien questioned.

In the first place, what could he do?

'From what I can sense, this isn't necessarily a man-made problem. It wasn't caused by anyone voluntarily.'

If so, was there a need to stop it, or was this a natural progression that the Heavenly World was always bound to make?

'Right now, it's actually somewhat convenient. The annoying things pass fast, which means we can get to the most important battles sooner and with less suffering.'

However, that convenience could very well be a facade hiding something terrible.

Damien really didn't know.

As someone who'd become unreasonably strong in recent days, it had been a long time since he'd felt this way.

'And here I was wanting to run around dominating the battlefield...'

Why was it that every time he found himself superb confidence the cosmos decided to bring down his mood?

'No, if I look at it in another way, isn't it only the cosmos itself that can make me feel this way?'

Damien shook his head and cleared his thoughts.

'For now, the best thing to do is observe and see if anyone else has noticed anything. It won't be too late to act when the problem becomes more concerning.'

He didn't want to make any rash decisions. Especially not when it came to decisions concerning the fate of the cosmos.

'But if this is really something that threatens the existence of this reality...'

Damien's eyes hardened.

'...then I'll make sure to fix it myself, no matter who or what the cause is.'

That was the end of his involvement with the issue for now.

He returned to Void Palace, ready to live his life as he always had.

However, his naivety, his general lack of knowledge on the issue, was truly a concern beyond what he'd expected.

Because the changes in the cosmos weren't simple.

They weren't some small changes, nor were they changes that were meant to take place.

Fixing them wouldn't be a small task even for someone who could completely control Existence.

And the cause...

The cause was the very thing Damien least expected.
