Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778: First Realm of Divinity

Neo didn’t look his way.

He kept working.

And then something happened that made ’I’ stiffen.

Neo didn’t rewrite the strands.

He didn’t cut them.

He didn’t destroy them.

He stored them.

One by one, Neo pulled temporal strands out of the universe and placed them inside his Cosmos.

"Huh?" ’I’ muttered, stunned. "If he does that, the main timeline of this universe will collapse and—"

His words cut off.

Beelzebub flapped his wings once.

Just once.

That single flap created countless pseudo temporal strands.

They weren’t real.

If temporal strands were walls, these pseudo temporal strands were like holograms of walls.

They were transparent, and fake.

Despite being fake, these pseudo strands performed one simple function perfectly:

Stability.

They fooled the River of Time into believing nothing was missing.

Even though Neo was pulling real strands out and storing them in his Cosmos, the universe didn’t realize it.

Its internal system saw the fake strands and assumed everything was still in place.

The Paradoxes that should’ve started to appear due to Neo’s crazy feat were not being born. All because he was fooling the River of Time into thinking that the timeline was not being touched at all.

Neo continued his work, strand after strand.

If he encountered a strand he had partially collected earlier, he merged both pieces together.

He sorted them, stabilized them, and then added them to his Cosmos.

Hours passed.

Or seconds.

Time didn’t carry meaning inside the frozen river.

Finally, Neo reached a stopping point.

Every temporal strand within a full 100 years—past and future—had been removed.

Only Neo remained inside that entire century.

He stretched his fingers once, relaxing the tension.

Then he looked toward the direction where ’I’ was hiding.

"What are you going to do now?" Neo asked. "With no people left to manipulate, are you finally planning to fight me yourself?"

His tone was calm, yet cold.

From a hidden pocket within the Gap, ’I’ ground his teeth.

Neo didn’t give him time to respond.

He placed his hand forward and began reversing the time of the entire universe by one century.

The past twisted.

Stars shifted.

Cosmic structures rolled backward.

Events unwound like threads being reeled back in.

Since Neo had already removed every temporal strand within that time frame, he didn’t have to worry about paradoxes or people being erased.

They weren’t in the universe anymore.

They lived inside Neo’s Cosmos.

This became Neo’s cycle.

He grabbed centuries worth of strands.

Then he reversed time by that same number of centuries.

Then he moved forward again and repeated the process.

But the work wasn’t light.

The first drain came from scanning and identifying the temporal strands.

The second drain came from grabbing and storing them.

The third was the heaviest: rewinding the universe itself.

And Neo had one more problem.

Most people’s temporal strands had been affected by ’I’.

Neo couldn’t store those altered versions.

To explain it in simpler terms, let’s say a person was called A.

After meeting ’I’ went to the past, this person’s past was changed, and he became A1. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Neo didn’t want to put A1 into his Cosmos.

A1 was someone who was manipulated by ’I’.

Instead, Neo wanted to bring the original version, namely A, into his Cosmos.

Finding that original version should’ve been impossible, but Neo wasn’t working with normal rules.

He was a Heavenbreaker.

He was guided by Heavenly Records and the Primogenitor Trait.

And he had spent ages understanding billions of different Time Element Concepts, Laws, and Worlds while helping Beelzebub evolve.

So, something that was bound to happen, happened.

Eyes of Echo Technique mastery has increased.

Eyes of Echo Technique is already at Supreme Mastery.

The message echoed within him.

Neo didn’t stop.

This exact scenario brought an old memory to the surface.

Years ago, in the academy, Mars had asked the Sphinx a question.

"How can someone become a God without raising the rank of their Elemental Mastery?"

The Sphinx had told him there was a path to achieve that, but it would be far harder than conventional path.

Eyes of Echo Technique mastery has increased.

Eyes of Echo Technique is already at Supreme Mastery.

Eyes of Echo Technique mastery has increased.

Eyes of Echo Technique mastery has reached First Realm of Divinity (Rare).

Eyes of Echo Technique Spirit and Eyes of Echo Firmament are fusing.

They are compensating for each other’s weaknesses.

They are being reborn as one.
