Although she was a little wary of the Great TimeMaster, Professor Frances seemed to be not that anxious now, as she had started to treat what she was seeing as a great movie. She could not wait to see what will happen next.
How will the Past Great TimeMaster torment her enemies? Will she torture them? Or will she kill them slowly, savoring their pain?
The sadistic side of Professor Frances craved to see all of this, and she could only do her best to stop her saliva from leaking.
But before she could obtain this 'high-class' treatment, the Great TimeMaster clicked her fingers, which led to the scene ending again.
"…."
Unlike the other previous scenes, there were no color distortions that appeared right now.
Instead, Professor Frances felt that the power permeating the whole area has started to dissipate, making the 'movie screen' around her slowly disappear.
A few seconds passed by, and Professor Frances found herself staring at a field of grass.
Upon seeing this field, Professor Frances frowned as she realized what the Great TimeMaster just did.
"Huh? Is your spell done already?" Professor Frances complained inwardly as she observed the grass on her feet.
There was no doubt about it.
The Great TimeMaster seemed to have ended her spell already, allowing Professor Frances to be back seeing the present time.
Alex and Alina both seemed to be relieved with this development, although Professor Frances was feeling cheated on by what happened.
"What the hell? That war scene was just about to get good. Why did you not show the events after that? Are you planning on putting a sequel?" Professor Frances mumbled under her breath as she gritted her teeth. "You're just teasing us now!"
The Great TimeMaster seemed to have heard what the professor has mumbled, as the former specifically looked at the professor as she suddenly said,
"I could have shown you more, but just like what Mr. Alex said, we are working at a limited time here. That scene… was the last scene that I can show you"
"…"
"But fret not, I will give you three a summary of what happened after that." The Great TimeMaster said, with her face already without her gloomy countenance. Her mood seemed to be back at normal, although Professor Frances will not take any chances on checking this out.
"That scene heralded the start of the war between the TimeMasters and the Immortals." The Great TimeMaster said as she slowly hovered towards Alina. "Due to my plans, I was able to introduce an army of TImeMasters in this world. Because I told Annie to allow Chronomancy to thrive in this world, the TImeMasters that I brought in were in no disadvantage against the Immortals."
"…"
"However, the Immortals were still powerful, and even if the TimeMasters were no longer suppressed in this world, the Immortals were still able to fight back easily. The war continued for a few more months, with more TImeMasters rushing in as reinforcement, and with the Immortals recruiting more and more members to their cause."
"…"
"At first, the battle was pretty even. But as time passed by, the Immortals slowly gained an advantage as they started to use Immortal Treasures against us." The Great TimeMaster then sneered, showing her bright, white teeth. "Trust me, those Immortals Treasure were extremely powerful, that it will always be the TimeMasters who suffered more. Of course we did everything that we could to win against this new tactic, but it was exceedingly difficult to do so."
"After all, this world is the Immortal's world, and those Immortal Treasures are like a fish in the sea here." Alex interrupted as he tilted his head. "That's the problem that you were facing, right?"
"Exactly." The Great TimeMaster replied as she let out a sigh. "Once my comrades realized this, some of them declared that they wanted to retreat from the war. After all, with the way that the Immortals were winning, it is highly likely that they will be able to defend their whole planet. If that happens… then all our effort will all be treated as waste."
"So did you allow them to retreat?"
"Of course I did not yield with that. My anger against the Immortals were so great, that I am willing to do anything to beat them." The Great TimeMaster replied as a pained expression appeared on her face. "Even if it means putting my loved ones in near danger."
"…."
"I asked Annie, who has already grown into a ten-year old kid, to tweak the laws of this world once more." The Great TimeMaster murmured as her hands started to tremble. There was guilt present on her face, and this guilt appeared to be something that had been brewing inside her for a long time.
"My lovely daughter agreed, as she wanted to always please me. However, that action of hers did not turn out the way that I wanted it to."
"…"
"I told Annie to tweak the laws so that the power of the Immortals will be suppressed. I also told her to make the laws more amicable to us TImeMasters."
"…."
"My daughter succeeded in tweaking the laws of this world once more, as she was the soul of this world itself. All the Immortals in this world experienced a drop in their strength, as their world started suppressing them. As for us TimeMasters, we experienced a boost in our power as this world started to support us." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The Great TimeMaster's face then contorted at this point, with her voice sounding like she was choking on something.
"This action of Annie gave the reversal in the war. The TimeMasters has started to routinely beat down the Immortals, who were all rattled by the sudden drop in their power. Before any of these Immortal Cultivators could make a comeback, the TimeMasters utterly and severely crushed them. There was no more hope for them to win, as even their Immortal Treasures were affected by the suppression."
"…"
"A few more months passed by before the war ended, and this time, the side who emerged as the winner were the TimeMasters." The Great TimeMaster concluded as her face continued to be full of guilt. "We won, but at the expense of my daughter's well-being."
"Her well-being?" Alex asked before Professor Frances could. "Are you saying that your daughter was harmed by her attempts at tweaking the laws of this world?"
"My daughter is the soul of the Immortal World. This means that she must first look out for the welfare of all the Immortals that resided in this world." The Great TimeMaster replied as she gritted her teeth. "This means that she must maintain the laws of this world in a way that will benefit the Immortals the most. If she tries to make these laws directly disadvantageous to the Immortals, then she will experience a backlash."
"…"
"Annie's first tweaking of the laws was still fine, as she did not directly affect the Immortals." The Great TimeMaster said as she bit her lip. "At that time, she only removed the suppression of this world on the TimeMasters. That is not a direct action against the Immortals, per se."
"But Annie's second tweaking of the laws was." Alex chimed in as he interrupted the Great TimeMaster. "Her second tweaking of the laws weakened the Immortals. That… that was obviously a direct action against the Immortals."
"You're correct." The Great TimeMaster replied as a loathing smile appeared on her face. This smile seemed to be directed at herself, which made Professor Frances more curious about the story.
"My daughter suffered a backlash immediately after she re-tweaked the laws." The Great TimeMaster muttered in a low voice. "Her soul suffered a massive damage, and she was immediately plunged in a life-death situation. She went into a coma, and there was nothing that I can do to wake her up."
"…"
"She became unconscious for a very long time, that she did not witness every new changes in this world. She did not even see the rise of the all the time-related businesses here." The eyes of the Great TimeMaster started to appear teary as her whole body started to tremble. "I could only watch her sleep in pain on her bed, not knowing whether she will survive her ordeal. I was helpless at that point, as everything that I did to help Annie all failed. I… I lived in utter despair at that time, as I do not want to lose my daughter when I already lost my husband."
"But fortunately for me, my daughter suddenly woke up just a year ago." The Great TimeMaster said as her teary eyes started to dry up. "At the time that she woke up, her soul has healed to the point that she can live normally as a person. However, there were still some damages that remained on her soul."
"…."
"This remaining damage on her soul affected her memories, to the point that Annie forgot everything that happened before she became unconscious. She could only remember bits and pieces about it."
"…"
"Honestly, I was relieved that she had this amnesia. My past with the Immortals…was a memory that I loathe remembering." The Great TimeMaster said in a low tone. "When she woke up, I was ecstatic, as I thought that maybe this time, my daughter and I will be able to live a blissful life. But I was wrong. I was horribly wrong."
"…"
"As it turns out, my daughter suffered one more consequence from her actions. I only noticed it when she woke up, and as of now, I am powerless to change it." The Great TimeMaster then looked at Alina once more, with her greedy gaze concentered on the baby on the latter's arms. "But now, I have the power to completely redeem myself!"
The Great TimeMaster then started walking towards Alina again, with her face showing an intense wanting for the baby that Alina held.
"Miss ALina, please let me hold the baby first. This baby… is my hope of saving Annie! Please… please let me hold her! If you don't make me do this, Annie will never be the same!"
"Hmph, so you just showed your past to appeal to our emotions? How sly of you." Alex blurted out as he blocked the Great TimeMaster's path. "Why are you not accepting my words earlier? I don't want you touching the baby! You might only endanger it!"
"Why the f**k are you this stubborn?" The Great TimeMaster howled out as she murderously glared at Alex and Alina. "I already told you everything, and all of them were the truth! What more could you want?"
"Yes, what do you still want, Alex?" Professor Frances thought to herself as she observed the conversation. "This woman seems to be desperate to hold the baby, so why don't you let her hold it? She seems to be sincere and truthful. Wait, don't tell me… that you're planning something devious again?"
As if to confirm the professor's intentions, Alex suddenly raised his fingers, wiggling them in the air as he sent a smug smile at the Great TimeMaster.
"Well, your story has moved my heart. However, that is not enough to make me help you." Alex said as he shook his head. "Well, I could help you out, but…"
"But what?"
Alex then went silent at this point, as he seemed to be thinking intently.
Upon seeing this, Professor Frances did her best to not sigh as she realized what Alex was doing.
"Alex, you sly boy. Now that you have seen that the Great TimeMaster genuinely needs your help, you must have thought that you can milk every benefit that you can from her." Professor Frances thought to herself as she facepalmed. "I must really be careful whenever I am around you…"
