1493 The Bitter Fact About Time Loop
In addition to that, escalating the fight right now shouldn’t be my top priority. In fact, it should be the last thing I should do.
How should I kill all of these without greatly affecting the on the verge to collapse planet and moons? That was the hard question I had to answer, and I should answer it fast!
The first option I got was to use my cube to cover the entire planet. However when I thought about it, I realised that this was going to consume much of my bones, and I didn’t know if the cube could sustain such an influx of energy.
I could just send out my soulers around, release them to kill many of the enemies here. But that needed billions upon billions of my soulers, and that was something I didn’t have.
My soulers have the ability to flash and kill like killing machines. However there were still tons of enemies they’d face much difficulty in dealing with, including worms, Exomachines, fiends, and high zombies.

“I need intel…” and after ten minutes of passing through everything I got and could do, I located the crux of the problem here.
I didn’t know anything about this world. I wasn’t like the enemies, who got to study this place over and over for endless years.
I looked over, and the place I appeared at was filled to the brim with mixed forces fighting against each other.
It was as if I appeared just at the climax of this battle, where no tactic or plans were working anymore. It felt like every man was fighting for themselves, as if the entire place, despite being filled with billions of fighters, was for himself.
It was weird, and to save myself from the trouble of going around and looking for anyone who mattered, I used another simple and easy method.
*Flash!*
My cube flashed and covered a large area, sucking it dry. In the middle of such a chaotic and vast battle, clearing an area of a hundred miles didn’t matter.
“This…”
“Who are you?”
“An enemy! Attack!”
Just when I sucked everyone in, I used my cube and controlled them to follow my orders. From there I took out a few of the angels.
The few I took out had three pairs of wings, with one with five pairs. The moment they appeared, they got confused, thought me as the enemy, and were ready to fight me at the spot.
What a bunch of foolish and crazy dudes they were.
“Stop! Or else by the power of the system and contract, you’ll die!” I didn’t move a finger, and simply said such insane words to them. They looked at each other, seemingly quite hesitant before a dude with three pairs of wings moved.
The moment he took a single step, he got killed on the spot by the power of the system. I activated the contract power, taking him down.
“I don’t have any time for plays and jokes, so let me get straight to the point… I’m someone who came from the outside, coming here to save you.”
“…”
“I’m not someone who belonged to your enemies, I’m your and sole ally in this entire cursed place. I’m here to save you, but I need intel.”
“You want us to betray our people?” The one with five pairs of wings seemed to take the charge of speaking with me. I didn’t feel any offence from his words, just impatience.
Why did it end the same way each time? Why every time I told someone I was here to save his race, he ended up questioning me?
“I’m here to help,” I paused before slowly adding, “if I’m not mistaken, then your people plan to entrap this world in a closed time loop. In fact, you got entrapped in it for endless years so far. I can’t tell you how many years it has passed since the last time you actually were alive, but endless time passed for sure.”
“This…”
“I believe your higher ups activated the time loop to get triggered the moment your worlds got destroyed. This planet, these moons, if any or all got destroyed, then time will stop and rewind back to this precise moment which we are experiencing.”
“That’s bullshit! That can’t be happening!”
“I don’t believe any of this madness!”
“Nonsense! Our time loop weapon is going to be used only if our people are in grave danger!”
“Silence!” Everyone, all but the one with five pairs of wings, spoke in disbelief and didn’t buy what I said.
The only one who believed every word I said was the five paired winged dude. It seemed he was already aware of such plans, and even knew much of the details about it.
And from his nervous and enraged shout, I realised that all I guessed was right. This race triggered and timed the time loop to get activated the moment their planet and moons got destroyed.
“So… It does really happen… Tsk!” this dude seemed to be quite oblivious to such a fact. In reality, those who got affected by the time loop wouldn’t realise anything, and that meant getting out of this time loop wasn’t in the hands of any of them fighting here.
Only the one who used this ability, or the ones who did it, would be aware of the activation of the time loop. If I was the enemy, then the first one to target would be these folks, killing them as early as possible, before they’d cause any damage or spread the news.
So it was expected why everyone here didn’t know, and the one who was aware of such a weapon didn’t realise it got used over and over, for uncountable times!
The moment this race activated such a weapon was the moment they got to lose the initiative in this war.
