Chapter 276:
Isaac hadn’t invented a convenient time-travel device that allowed him to alter history whenever he pleased.
Just activating the Lighthouse of the Watcher consumed enormous amounts of divine power and stamina. And right now, this was merely a “simple history” occurring until it caught up to the “present.”
If Isaac failed to create a sufficiently plausible sequence of events or made a history absurdly favorable to himself, it would instantly be dismissed as something that “never happened.”
That would mean he’d be back facing Dera Heman in the secret archive immediately.
‘It means I shouldn’t use Urbansus to undo the Emperor’s excommunication or attempt to assassinate the Pope.’
In Isaac’s view, altering Urbansus was a dangerous double-edged sword. The fact that the god of the Salt Council tried to make a change and ended up buried under the salt desert is telling enough.
It’s too easy to provoke the intervention of angels from other faiths. Isaac, who was struggling to deal with even one angel, had nothing to gain by drawing unnecessary attention. Most importantly, altering Urbansus required finding an angel whose goals aligned with his.
What if the angel chosen as the “author” betrayed him or didn’t act as he wished? It could lead to the worst-case scenario. Therefore, Isaac could somewhat foresee what the future held.
There weren’t many opportunities to change history due to plausibility and timing constraints.
