Chapter 1038 - CHRONOS II

Across the Primordial Cosmos, there were three beings that had comprehended the Cosmic Dao of Chronos.
Each of them were stretched across the Cosmos but at this moment, all of them raised their heads towards a certain direction.
"What?"
In the Elysian Universe, the regal expression of Oathkeeper was replaced with shock for the first time.
"..."
In the Automaton Universe, the black hole taking the place of the head of the Goliath of the Primordial Cosmos swirled with shocking power as he looked in the far away direction silently!
"Impossible!"
Only a single other being showed more emotion, and it was the one that was even given the title of the Hegemony of Chronos.
This being looked towards the direction of the Necrotic Universe where just like Oathkeeper and the Goliath, he sensed a blooming purple light that signified Chronos being comprehended by another being!
THRUM!
In front of the Universal Construct within the Animus Universe, Chronos rose up with a grim expression as he looked far away, his mind buzzing with activity as yet another thing that shouldn't have happened...was occurring.
In the many lifetimes he lived through, not once had another being comprehended Chronos. Not until many years from now when the situation within the Primordial Cosmos would be vastly different.
Yet…
WAA!
"Old Man, what's got your panties in a bunch?"
At this moment, the voice of valiant looking Valentina rang out as cosmic Dao essence spilled from her, the task of her clone continuing to descend down the Animus Universe continuing as even while she was defeated by Chronos multiple times, she never gave in as she continued to call forth more clones!
Chronos only gazed at Valentina's clone with impassive eyes that flashed with a purple light, a gigantic clock appearing behind him again as it shot out with a killing light.
---
Meanwhile, in the Necrotic Universe.
The dazzling glimmer of purple caused many eyes to turn towards it in shock, but this purple color eventually began to be tinged with red!
When Chronos and the Goliath utilized this dao, it was tinged purple with all of their attacks. When the Oathkeeper used the Dao of Chronos, the huge clocks he summoned were tinged gold.
Now that Noah was undergoing the process of emerging a new Cosmic Dao within him, it became his own as different from the purple or golden luster, it became a beautiful purple-crimson color that melded together into a beautiful picture!
THRUUUM!
From his body, waves of Cosmic Essence of Chronos began to leak out madly as they permeated throughout the chaotic void, a purple-crimson clock of ridiculous proportions beginning to form above everyone.
The aura caused every single being in its shadow to shake at its sheer power and majesty, the obtainment of this Cosmic Dao by Noah at this moment being something of great importance!
He of course held the Cosmic Dao of Ruination, a Dao that when he utilized it fully as he had hiddenly done so before- he could actually wipe out any creature on the same level as him in a matter of seconds.
But he didn't use it freely as until now, this was a card that would be kept secret as knowledge of it meant others also knowing he held a Cosmic Treasure of the directly opposing nature to the Primordial Disk that Oathkeeper held.
So the wondrous and overpowered Dao of Ruination wasn't utilized openly or frequently in Noah's battles.
Now, he had obtained the Cosmic Dao of Chronos. It was only a level below Ruination, but it was a Dao of ridiculous power that stood above many other Cosmic Daos, the power it could display being something only the three most powerful powerhouses of the Primordial Cosmos understood!
Since he obtained it in front of everyone's eyes, he would utilize it to its fullest possible extent as at this moment, the purple-crimson clock had stretched out for tens of thousands of miles as it passed the size of normal planetary bodies, and it was still spreading out.
RUMBLE!
At the center of it all was Noah Osmont.
He comprehended the pristine Dao of Chronos as knowledge of how he could very easily manipulate time filled his mind, numerous scenes flitting through his mind at this moment!
The scene of when he obtained his Cosmic Treasure.
The scene of him defeating Aldritch after he tore open the boundary of the Novus Galaxy and invited outsiders.
The scene of him obtaining the Rank S [Volcanic Eruption] in the Blessed Empire and using it to decimate a Mephitic Turtle as Elizabeth and other hunters watched in awe and shock!
The scene of him...obtaining a Rank F [Fireball] after he used up all of his savings, right before he awakened to see a blank value next to his [Focus]!
All of these scenes played out in front of Noah's eyes as he shockingly found that uniquely because of his Infinite Mana...he could actually return to any of these times!
…!
Chronos couldn't do this! Oathkeeper or the Goliath couldn't do this!
This was partly because they lived in the Primordial Cosmos as the most powerful beings, and any single one of them reversing time would mean they were not just doing it for themselves, but for the entire Cosmos they were in.
The essence required for this...was too much!
They could utilize the Dao of Chronos to jump back in time a few hours or a day at most, but their mana reserves wouldn't allow for anything more.
An example was when Noah had utilized the Dagger of Time to jump back barely a few days in when he was moving in the World of Cultivation and the Demon World. His mana was more than enough, and the affected area was very small.
Affecting an entire Cosmos...even for Oathkeeper and the others, it was too hard!
But the existence that held Infinite Mana could do many more things with time.
THRUM!
Even more mystical knowledge rushed into Noah's mind at this moment as the comprehension of Chronos settled in.
Time!
The abstruse and ridiculous concept of time!
Time actually didn't follow a linear path...!
It wasn't a straight forward concept of going from A to B as there was much involved with it!
Those capable of jumping through time held great power as the things they did could vastly change entire realities.
Even for Noah who was capable of jumping through time at this moment, even to the very point right before he awakened as a Hunter...at any point that he did something vastly different than what he did in the original time, things would be greatly changed as this would actually create a branch in time...it would create a whole new reality!
RUMBLE!
