Chapter 44 Wow! This is a genuine fellow townsman!
When the demigod with golden hair and eyes, wearing a holy robe and radiating pure white light appeared before Him, the entire God of Time and Space was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the primal fear caused Him to shrink into a ball.
The body, which resembled a lump of sludge that had been fermenting for who knows how many years, was now writhing and convulsing incessantly due to extreme fear.
That supreme, powerful, and incredibly familiar force instantly brought back memories of that scene from a thousand years ago, of the spear that had reduced it from a powerful god to a crippled demigod.
escape!
must escape!
Fragments of memories swirled around him, and the master of time and space forced himself to unfold his body, opening a shattered portal beneath him.
The Time-Space Dominator's mud-like body fell into the spatial gate, attempting to escape the terrifying demigod beside him by traversing a vast distance.
As Ai watched the incomplete demigod attempt to escape through spatial traversal, he simply snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
With the activation of the Distortion Authority, the destination that the opponent had traveled across a long distance was instantly distorted and placed next to Ai.
The Time-Space Dominator, as limp as mud, slumped down beside Ai. Realizing that its destination had been altered, the Time-Space Dominator did not give up and attempted to reopen the spatial gate.
But the next moment, an invisible force of order descended, suppressing Him firmly in place, making it impossible for Him to mobilize even a fraction of His divine power.
"Still running?!"
"Run! I don't want to die! I want to go home!"
On the mud-like body of the spacetime ruler who was trying to break free from the oppression, a series of bubbles gurgled out.
Puff puff!
The bubble burst, producing an unusually distorted sound.
Seeing how disgusting the other person's way of speaking was, Ai didn't say anything more.
He silently activated the Devouring Authority, preparing to absorb all of this guy's power before those powerful righteous gods noticed him.
But just as the power of devouring landed on the ruler of time and space, He, who had been struggling violently, suddenly fell silent.
Glug glug!
A series of bubbles rose and burst from the mud-like body, connecting to form a broken and extremely distorted sentence.
"Big brother, is that you? Do you want to go home? Can I go home now?"
These few fragmented words were spoken in the language of the Celestial Empire of Blue Star—the country where Ai grew up and lived before her transmigration, the world where the players now truly live.
Even the players are now only speaking and hearing the common language of the Errol world, which has been distorted by Ai!
Therefore, although the suddenly appearing Blue Star language had no power, it was like a series of mental bombs falling into Ai's mind, causing Ai's very essence to tremble.
The human form of the [Gluttonous Dragon], which should have been twisted and replaced, now uncontrollably wanted to manifest itself, with a chaotic and distorted aura of devouring spreading outwards.
"What's going on! The power has gone berserk?"
Ai looked at the black scales that kept trying to appear on her palm, feeling somewhat bewildered.
However, while trying his best to suppress the changes in his body, he scooped up the puddle of mud and retreated.
He must return to a safe place!
So Ai disregarded the consumption of Chaos Points and forcibly altered her location connection with the Divine Kingdom, changing it from outside the Divine Kingdom to inside.
Upon entering the divine realm, Ai's power erupted uncontrollably, her golden hair and eyes instantly turning as black as an abyss, and her holy white robe was torn apart by the ever-growing scales.
In the blink of an eye, Ai was forced to shed the disguise of the God of Light and return to her original human form as the [Power of Gluttony].
Meanwhile, a series of blurry memories, too indistinguishable to be discerned, flashed wildly through Ai Yi's mind, providing her with no useful information other than disturbing her mind.
Ai vaguely sensed that those fleeting, extremely blurry memories contained some important information.
No matter how hard He tried to recall, those memories were like they were pixelated, and He couldn't make anything out.
"Damn it! What the hell is that?! What are those memories?! Tell me, tell me!"
Ai cursed aloud, scratching her long black hair in frustration, and kicked the mud on the ground repeatedly.
At this moment, black chaotic energy surged from Ai's body, and this energy became increasingly dense, like a runaway dragon.
Under the influence of that terrifying aura, the lump of mud shrank into a ball in fear, not daring to make a sound.
It wasn't until a crisp sound rang in her mind that Ai Yi snapped out of her agitation and realized that she had lost control of her behavior.
"My lord, are you alright...?"
It's Eileen.
During the time when Ai Yi was slightly out of control, all the players would suddenly fall to the ground and become motionless while walking.
As a saintess, Irene also noticed Ai's abnormal state. Without much hesitation, she prayed to Ai through the statue of the God of Light and successfully communicated with Ai.
"Phew, I'm fine. There was a small problem, but it's resolved!"
Eileen's worries pulled Ai back to reality from the chaotic and blurry flow of memories. He took a deep breath and immediately regained control of his state.
First, he resolved the "disconnection" issue for all players, then comforted Eileen for a few moments before disconnecting from her.
Once she calmed down, Ai looked at the shriveled-up mud at her feet. Although her mind was full of questions, she decided to ask the other person one by one.
Why do you speak the language of China?
The Time-Space Dominator replied, "Home, this is the language of home."
Ai Yi was taken aback: "You're a time traveler?"
The Time-Space Dominator replied, "The Celestial Empire is home, my home, and I want to go back."
"Is the 'Gluttonous Dragon' also from China?"
"Brother, your home isn't my home, but you can take me home."
"..."
After some conversation, Ai discovered that the Time-Space Ruler might be an idiot.
Because He never speaks of anything other than home.
No matter how Aye asked, He would answer with the theme of going home.
Ai Yi wasn't surprised by this.
After all, according to the memories of the [Gluttonous Dragon], the Time-Space Ruler's very essence and authority were shattered by the [Holy Throne of Light] with a single spear thrust. Under normal circumstances, he would have inevitably perished completely.
Perhaps it is because of His obsession with returning home that He has managed to survive, barely retaining a portion of His origin and authority.
But in the end, he could only be a flawed demigod with a little intelligence.
Even if He later completes His authority and origin, and possesses normal intelligence.
The ruler of time and space at that time was no longer the one who had perished more than a thousand years ago.
Just like Ai and the Gluttonous Dragon, they are successors and predecessors.
However, this did not prevent Ai from obtaining two useful pieces of information from the Time Ruler.
First, the spacetime ruler seems to be a time traveler from Earth like himself, but it seems to be around 2026 on Earth.
This made Ai suspect that either time travel was unaffected by time, or the time difference between Earth and the world of Errol was not a fixed 5:1.
Secondly, the former Gluttonous Dragon was not a time traveler from Earth, but it seemed to have the ability to make the spacetime ruler return home, while the Gluttonous Dragon has no chance of returning home forever.
Ai deduced that the Gluttonous Dragon might not be the native deity of this world, and that there might be other worlds with deities besides Errol—the existence of Blue Star proves that other worlds must exist, while Errol shows that deities can exist in a world.
