397 A Tweak In Personality
I was making a gamble. I was currently wearing the same armor as Trinity was, so I could only hope that I would be able to fool him. Azengrade looked at me and then around at the untouched city around him in somewhat of a daze. After a few seconds of thought, he looked back up at me with a cold expression as he said: “To think the great Trinity was so magnanimous. But do not think this will be the end!” With this, he turned and created a strange blue barrier around him and his comrades that began to shrink down and disappear from sight.
I let out a sigh of relief as I stayed there frozen in the air looking out over at the sunset that was starting to rise. I only reversed time for the capital, so it was already good enough that I could do this much. I looked out over the horizon that was slowly growing brighter and tried to smile. Yet, no matter how much I tried, I was unable to.
“Faith? What just happened!?” Diable, Iena, and Freidinia all stood at my side and looked at me in confusion. I did not reverse time for Diablo or Freidinia, just Iena to make sure she was fully healed.
“I…. It’s hard to explain, but for now, I need to take care of a bigger issue.” I had no time for an explanation as I used detection magic to see the entire undead army still under the capital. After taking another deep breath, I used dimensional transfer to arrive in the middle of the mass of undead and then used aura healing to kill them all instantly. Holy spells were really handy against the undead.
With the undead taken care of, I put the entire empire under lockdown with a barrier before returning to the castle with Diablo and the rest.
I was mentally exhausted. But I still had to push on. The world around me was becoming more dangerous. Much more dangerous than I have ever imagined. Five of the same race, the Altorians, and there were probably many more than them out there. Not to mention Trinity, the other me said something about them being parasites which probably means they can turn other beings into their race. I am not sure about this, and I will only know when I speak to Trinity if she is currently willing to speak to me. After all….

I am now level 1428, and this means soon, when all my stats reach their mana drip max, they will be another 35100 points higher than before. This is such a boost to my prowess that I am feeling a tiny bit better about the future. If I can get Trinity to let me steal more of her power, then I can grow even stronger.
But I highly doubt she will let me get closer anytime soon. But I find it funny that her power was quickly reduced once she entered my sea of consciousness. I guess she never realized it. This was lucky for me. And luckily, because I gained two of her abilities as well, I was able to pretend like I was still Trinity. I guess the reversal trick just now was a shock to him. He was probably having a hard time understanding what had just happened.
“That is what just happened. I know it is hard to believe, but it is the truth.” I said as I looked at the officials and generals, who were all staring at me in surprise. “Right now, none of my generals or the people of the lower capital city would be alive. I was able to turn back time to before the attack happened after chasing Azengrade and his men away. But now we are left with a crisis. Things will not be so easy in the future. The enemy may be able to turn our own people into their allies, making them part of the Altorian race, which seems to be a parasitic race. I will not go into details about how I know of all of this, but please understand what I have said just now is one hundred percent true.”
“If what you say is true, then we really are in for a rough future. How should we handle the undead nation now that you have destroyed their army?” General Briggs asked.
“I will give them an ultimatum. Be destroyed or form an alliance with our empire. I will not take no for an answer, and any hostility will result in the entire annihilation of their race.” My words caused everyone’s eyes to go wide, but this was my last straw. Unlike other races, the undead did not give birth to new undead. Undead came from the corpses of the dead. So I did not mind saying I will wipe them out. Maybe my mind has been affected slightly by Trinity now that I think about it because…. I would have never said such words in the past….
It was very unlike me to resort to wanting to kill off an entire race when my purpose is to bring us together without discrimination but…. Well… So be it… I will just play it by ear and see how the undead race really reacts to me asking them for an alliance.
I know I should not do such a thing to a kingdom that had suddenly attacked us or was planning to attack us, but as of now, after I just reversed time, they had yet to flood into my city just yet, and I have already killed the ones who were under the capital.
