Man on the ark, forced to become king

Of course, this doesn't mean that such forces don't exist in border areas.

The Time Rift, the slumbering place of the Dragon King Platons, is a mysterious place between the past and the present, where the shattered sky city of Fam Azra is reborn.

In addition, there is the great blessing created by two fingers, which is also in the same place.

Outside of the independent and overlapping areas of time and space in the Great Blessing, the two fingers, which should have died, were able to survive.

However, these special regions are not inherently skills that can be learned and mastered.

At its peak, the Golden Tree could indirectly access a small portion of the power related to time, but that was all. It couldn't be used directly like other spells or prayers, nor could it be used freely.

But Mostima can, or more precisely, the deity residing in those two staffs can; His authority is time.

Although the scope of this authority is very limited, it is still usable.

Previously, her strength had not fully recovered, and the Golden Tree was not mature enough. Now, looking at those two staffs again, Lin Lu saw many things that she couldn't see before.

Mostima's staff is less a staff and more a kind of sealing 'medium', within which a distinct will is active.

The Emperor said that Mostima was capable of controlling the fragments of the gods with her own strength, so it goes without saying who the consciousness within the staff was.

That is the original consciousness of the fragment of a deity who holds the power over time.

A conscious god—that's incredibly tempting.

If we could get Him into the Golden Tree, and let the Golden Tree analyze His authority, then after analyzing it, we could also gain that ability from the Golden Tree.

The Golden Tree has an extremely strong ability to assimilate and integrate.

"Touch my staff?"

Mostima hesitated for a moment, then nodded and took off his black and white staff, placing it in front of him.

"Just touch it, don't move it around."

"I definitely won't move around."

Lin Lu patted her chest to assure him, grabbed the tip of the staff, and gently twisted it. Before Mostima could react, the two staffs collided.

hum~

The next second, an invisible force spread out, bringing everyone who was moving forward to a stop, even freezing the snowflakes falling from the sky in mid-air.

Lin Lu felt a blur before her eyes, and her vision shifted to a pure white space where a huge clock face floated above, its light dim.

Beneath the clock, a colossal beast, seemingly constructed entirely of rock, slowly approached. It resembled a wolf, with two forward-pointing horns on its head, displaying a greyish-white color.

"Didn't we agree not to move around?"

Mostima also appeared here, his voice rising eight octaves, unusually excited.

"I did touch it once."

Lin Lu shrugged. Mostima remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on them without blinking.

Stare~

"Okay, I actually have something I'd like to discuss with this person. Don't worry, it's nothing bad."

Stare~

"I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough...?"

Stare~

"I promise I won't go to Lateran without your permission. Remian will cure you 100%, and make you lively and energetic again."

"Hmph, I won't do it next time."

Mostima suddenly realized that, after Remian, there was another person she couldn't handle.

Now that she's already inside, what else can she do?

She couldn't bring herself to give him a good scolding, and besides, Lin Lu, that shameless guy, probably wouldn't care anyway.

It's even less likely that they would resort to violence over such a trivial matter.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Xiao Mo."

"Ugh, disgusting! Get away from me!"

The blue-haired angel waved dismissively, but Lin Lu didn't care and walked towards the awakened behemoth.

"Getting acquainted?"

"mortal."

The colossal beast slowly walked through the pure white space, creating ripples beneath its feet as if it were stepping on water.

Why have you disturbed my slumber?

"I don't think you were sleeping either; you were clearly spying on me, weren't you?"

"..."

The massive, rocky tail swayed gently, and the behemoth did not reply, clearly having been correctly predicted.

After a long silence, it finally spoke again.

“Interesting. I am Cronus, the god of time. Mortal, state your name!”

“My name is Lin Lu. You can call me the King of Gold or the King of Elden.”

Lin Lu's eyes scanned the giant beast back and forth, and she suddenly noticed a problem.

These people in Terra seem to really like using stone for their bodies?

Yera did the same, simply combining some black stones haphazardly to create a body, which was rather perfunctory.

This kind of body doesn't seem to have any strength at all, right?

"king?"

The behemoth fell silent again, as if recalling something, and then shook its head.

"A name I've never heard of, what brings you to me?"

"Hey, can we use a more common and easy-to-understand way of speaking? Your learned Yan accent is a bit hard to listen to."

"..."

Cronus lowered his head and stared at the mortal before him, feeling quite surprised.

After so many years of not venturing out into the world, have ordinary people become so bold now? They didn't even show the slightest fear when they saw it?

As an ancient deity, it would be very embarrassing for Him to be treated like this, wouldn't it?

Especially in front of their own family members.

"Mostima, your partner is very interesting."

My face turned red!

The sudden remark caused Mostima's usually expressionless face to change color instantly, turning visibly flushed.

So many years! So many years!

She had never felt so ashamed in her entire life!

Fortunately, there were only two and a half people here. Otherwise, if those guys outside heard this, especially Fiameta, wouldn't they be socially dead on the spot?!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Enraged, the blue-haired angel raised his staff and jabbed it toward Cronus's toe.

"What? Our hearts are connected, and I can still sense some of your emotions. In your human understanding, aren't you two partners?"

Cronus tilted his head in confusion, then stepped aside to avoid Mostima, whose face was flushed with anger, looking somewhat puzzled.

In His view, Mostima's state of mind and thoughts clearly indicated that she regarded this man as a partner, so why not let Him say it?

Do people these days not want to hear the truth?

"I truly heard what was in your heart—"

"Shut up! Shut up! Don't say another word!"

Mostima wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground or find something to plug Cronus's huge stone mouth.

This guy has seen a lot of the world following him around; after all these years, doesn't he have any emotional intelligence at all?!

Is this something you can just say casually?

Even if she really did have those kinds of thoughts...

Okay, she really does have some, but only a tiny bit...

But this kind of thing should never have come out of this idiot's mouth!

Wasn't she embarrassed by what Cronus said?

To be honest, Mostima has never been in such a predicament.

"Ahem, this is not important."

Although it was rare to see Mostima blush, seeing the girl about to explode, Lin Lu wisely chose to temporarily drop the topic.

Such private matters... well, we can talk about them when no one is around and we're behind closed doors.
