Chapter 101: A Twisted World (2)
"You think someone else came to this era years before us?"
Varos’s expression turned doubtful. That hypothesis rested on a significant assumption.
"You’re saying someone other than you could manipulate space-time?"
The time regression spell had been Karnak’s greatest challenge. It was a feat he had only achieved after countless failures and decades of toil, even with the nearly godlike power of Astra Shunaph at his disposal.
"If a mage or a necromancer that powerful existed, we’d already know about them."
Even the three greatest Archmages of humanity had never dared to venture into the realm of space-time manipulation. If they had possessed such abilities, they wouldn’t have fallen to Karnak in the first place. As for the Four Great Martial Kings, aura users by nature, they weren’t even part of the equation. Perhaps the Dragon Emperor, Grateria, could have done it if he were alive and whole...
"But we know better than anyone that he isn’t."
Karnak nodded. "You’re right. There’s likely no one capable of creating a time regression spell from scratch like I did."
But what if they were simply modifying someone else’s creation?
"Do you remember the Obelisk of Transcending Time-Space?"
"The crimson slab we used to get here?"
"Yes, that one."
