 "My, my, Mr. Alex. Your questions are fully loaded." The Great TImeMaster said after hearing Alex's questions. "You seem to be extremely curious about the truth~"

"How could I not be curious? The revelations that I had all changed my views about the Endless Monarch himself." Alex replied as he smiled at the Great TImeMaster. "At first, I thought that the Endless Monarch was just someone who was using Travelers as a way to stave off his boredom. But now that I know that he was actually transacting with other people, my suspicions against him just went up again."

"…"

"Why would the Endless Monarch transact with people like you? Why would he allow you to manipulate us? Does he have a hidden agenda for these actions?" Alex continued saying as he let out a sigh. "And if he was able to transact with you, then does that mean that every world that we went through also had the same transaction that happened? Great TimeMaster… you don't know how much confused I am right now. You… you're the only one who can clear this all up! Just answer my questions earlier, and I might allow you to hold the baby!"

"What the f**k am I hearing..." Professor Frances, who was still frozen on her place, thought to herself as she tried to understand everything that she heard. "Wait… so the Great TimeMaster really 'hired' the Endless Monarch to send us here? Since that was true, then does that mean that someone in my world also 'hired' the Endless Monarch to send Travelers there?"

The professor's face then turned ugly as she did her best to not accept this conclusion. "No, no, no! I don't accept that as the truth! There's nobody that can 'hire' the Endless Monarch in my world! Nobody! This business that the Great TImeMaster had with the Endless Monarch must have been a unique case! Yes, that must be it!"

While Professor Frances continued her attempts on denial, Alex and the Great TimeMaster continued their conversation, with the Great TImeMaster starting the talk.

"I am sorry to say this, Mr. Alex, but because of the contract that I had with the Endless Monarch, I cannot tell you anything about my transaction with him." The Great TimeMaster said in an apologetic tone, although her face was saying otherwise. "I cannot tell you about my transaction with him, so I cannot answer any of your questions earlier…"

"…Sigh, I expected something like this to happen." Alex murmured in disappointment as he shook his head. He then started smothering the grass under his foot as he averted his gaze away from the Great TimeMaster. "The Endless Monarch is one tough person to crack. For him to have a contract like this is just normal for him…"

"Mr. Alex, I am sure that you are deadly curious about the real intentions of the Endless Monarch. If I were in your shoes, I would be curious too." The Great TimeMasters said in a soft tone, as if she was trying to console Alex. "Your luck just didn't work out well here, so I think you shou-"


"Hey Great TimeMaster, you may be unable to talk about your transaction, but there are still some things that you can tell me, right?" Alex suddenly said as he interrupted the Great TimeMaster. "Come on, you can tell me anything that you can. If you do that… maybe you will really be able to hold the baby."

"You really are persistent. I see." The Great TimeMaster stood still on her place as she gave Alex a chilling look. "You won't stop unless I tell you something beneficial, right?"

"Yes, I won't." Alex replied as he crossed his arms. "Come on, just say something. As long as I find that useful, you will be able to get what you want from me."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…Fine. I guess there are some blind spots in the contract that I can use…" The Great TImeMaster ruefully said as she cupped her chin. Her frosty look disappeared as she wore a pensive look on her face. "Hmm… yes, I think I can say that. Yes, there's no problem with that."

"…"

"Mr. Alex, the only thing that I can tell you is this: THIS WORLD WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU." The Great TimeMaster said as she tilted her head. "From what I know, every world that you travelers go to were meant to challenge you. You could be terribly injured in those worlds, or you could be also killed there. That's the challenge that you should be facing on your journey. But in this world…"

"In this world, we were not meant to face a life-death situation. We were just here to 'chill'…" Alex chimed in as he started laughing. His laugh sounded both amused and angry, which was a weird sound to hear. "Instead of making us undergo a dangerous mission, it appears as if we were just brought here to 'rest up and 'improve' our abilities…"

"Hahaha, 'resting up' does sound right, Mr. Alex." The Great TimeMaster said as she shook her head in amusement. "Hmm.. from that way that you reacted to my words, you seem to have accepted this quickly. Did you also suspect about it before?"

"Of course I suspected it. After all, everything in this world is weird, including its scenario." Alex replied quickly. "The Main Mission is pretty simple, and it only makes me choose a side to support during the battle. If you could observe the contents of the Main Mission, you can see that it's much simpler and safer compared to the missions that I had before."

"…"

"In this kind of scenario, as long as we choose the winning side, we don't have to worry about anything more." Alex exclaimed as he let out a titter. "We can just rest and power-up while we wait for the Main Mission to end. Now, isn't that just too easy for us?"

"…"

"And you, Great TImeMaster, was the one who made it easier for us." Alex said as he shrugged his shoulders. "With your power and your preparations, you created a situation where the TimeMasters are assured to win. No matter what the Immortals do, they were meant to lose, even if they have your daughter kidnapped right now."

"…"

"I mean, just look at what's happening on the Mountain of Enlightenment right now." Alex continued saying as he pointed his finger at the floating mountain. "Before the Immortals could even finish their Purification Ritual on your daughter, someone was able to derail the ritual. And that someone was Kiera, who for some reason, was able to use her Soul Manifestation Power to turn herself into a Soul Reaper. Now, you don't get to see something like that happening everyday…"

"Kiera turned into what?" Professor Frances blurted out as her head whipped towards the direction of the Mountain of Enlightenment. She squinted her eyes as she did her best to observe the mountain, although her limited power right now did not allow her to see what Alex was able to see. "Alex, can you really see Kiera right now?"

"Professor, I am a much more powerful being already. Seeing the events on that mountain is just a piece of cake for me." Alex replied.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"So you really saw Kiera transforming into a different creature?"

"Yes, and while that happened, Kiera also managed to derail the master plan of the Immortals. Now, the defeat of the Immortals are as clear as spring water." Alex said with relish as he let out a sigh. "Sigh… and here I thought I would be able to help out the Immortals against the TimeMasters. But as it turns out, any of my actions here are of no use. We were just meant to be bystanders here. "

"…"

"You seem to be saddened by that fact, Mr. Alex." The Great TimeMaster suddenly said as she started looking at the direction of the Mountain of Enlightenment. "You must have been wanting to save every world that you visited. For you to be in a situation like this must be frustrating for you."

"No, I am not really frustrated, although I am still wary of the reason that I am here." Alex replied in a carefree tone. "That damn geezer really makes me overthink things!"

His carefree attitude quickly disappeared as he suddenly frowned, with a clearly pissed off aura slowly emanating from his body.

He seemed to not care that the Great TimeMaster was here as he continued to talk.

"First, the Endless Monarch put my mission on the Four Moons World on hiatus. Now, he brought us to this world, which was only meant to be a resting place. Great TimeMaster, no matter which way you looked at it, this situation is really ludicrous and suspicious."

"…"

"Why would the Endless Monarch put my former mission in hiatus, and why would he just allow us to rest in this world? What is he aiming with these actions?" Alex said as he sent a suspicious glare at the Great TimeMaster. "Great TimeMaster, do you have any possible ideas about this?"

"Even if I have an idea, I would not tell it to you." The Great TimeMaster replied as she shook her head. "I have a contract, right?"

"Yeah right…" Alex grumbled as he looked down on the ground. "So that's all that you can say?"

"Yes, that's all that I can say."

"She's not lying Alex." Alina helpfully chimed in as she continued on holding the baby.

"…And here I thought I can still get all of the truth out from you. How disappointing...". Alex mumbled in a disappointed tone. "But at least I now know that the Endless Monarch is planning something special with me and those Travelers that I met in the Four Moons World."

"…"

"Hmm… I wonder how those Travelers are faring now? Did they also coast through on their worlds?" Alex mumbled as a mischievous glint appeared on his eyes. "Hehehe, I will just know that once we meet back at the Four Moons World. Oh, I can't wait to be back there…"

"Thinking of leaving this world already? You seem to have forgotten your promise to me, Mr. Alex." The Great TimeMaster said as she let out a cough. "I still have to hold the baby, right?"

"Oh yes, how could I forget about that? Silly me." Alex said in a fake sad tone. "You just want to hold the baby, right? How long will you hold it?"

"I will hold it as long as I can" The Great TimeMaster replied as she started to approach the baby more.

There was now urgency in her eyes, as if she could no longer accept more delays. "Mr. Alex, because of the events happening at the Mountain of Enlightenment right now, the remaining time that you can stay world is already few. If I have to hold the baby, I must do it now! If I don't hold this baby at this moment, the Endless Monarch might start sending you to your new world, which will leave me empty-handed! So please, let me hold the baby now! I swear, nothing bad will happen to you guys!"

"So that is why you showed your past to us, Great TimeMaster. Since we now held the power to help Annie, you decided to talk to us even if you should have been just watching from the shadows. You showing your past…was just your way of making us feel pity for you." Instead of quickly agreeing to the Great TimeMaster's demands, Alex said these words as he also walked closer to the baby.

"You must be really desperate to heal your daughter, that aside from showing your past, you also revealed some of the secrets that you have with the Endless Monarch." Alex said in a carefree tone as he reached Alina's place. He then placed his arms under the baby as he lifted it towards him. "Tell me Great TimeMaster, did you expect us to be happy that you told some of your secrets to us?"

"Yes, I expect you to be happy. No, I actually want you to be happy." The Great TimeMaster replied as she slowly extended her hands at Alex's direction. "So what is it Alex? Are you happy or not?'

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Okay, you got me. I'm happy with what you told us, so you deserve to get a reward. Here, hold this baby." Alex finally said after a few seconds of tense silence. He then passed the sleeping baby to the Great TimeMaster, who looked like she was about to receive an extremely precious treasure. "Be careful on holding the baby, you might suddenly drop it…"
