Chapter 1056 - Goodbye
"This is the second one." What the Time G.o.d gave to Alex was a sand clock.
"Is that your Sand of Time, Father?" She tilted her head. "I mean, it"s a good item, but isn"t it…"
"This is only for a precaution. By using this Sand of Time, you can prevent anyone from using Time Element as long as their strength is lower than a certain degree. It"s not about whether he is a Rank 2 G.o.d or a Rank 3 G.o.d. Instead, all that matters are his Time Element. It"s like facing a Pure Fire, you know what I mean?"
Alex repeatedly nodded. "Yes. I have met someone using Time Element and he is…"
Alex turned around, staring at Silvia.
"Yes. He is my father"s disciple."
"That"s right. I haven"t asked all of your names. Now that I have finished settling my business with this jerk, let"s talk about all of you. How about introducing yourself first?" The Time G.o.d put a warm smile and asked.
"Who is first?" Everyone looked around, wondering who should be first. They came to the conclusion that Rose, Alex"s disciple, would go first because she was the only one with a different status than them.
"Me? Fine." Rose pouted and bowed to the Time G.o.d. "I am Rose Skewes. I am Alexander Sirius"s disciple."
"I see. She seems to have this weird strength around her Time Element, but I won"t look into it since that power is beneficial for her." The Time G.o.d nodded and continued observing her. "I will be a petty person if I don"t give her a present, so here is for you."
Rose stretched both hands as a bow appeared, slowly descending onto her hands.
"This is Shattering Heaven Bow. It can be considered one of the strongest bows in the universe. Anyway, I won"t talk too much about the legend, but this bow managed to injure me in the past even though I was a G.o.d King and he was a Rank 2 G.o.d. No matter what, this bow is far better than whatever he could give." The Time G.o.d didn"t forget to leave an insult to Alex.
Alex could only scratch the back of his head, wondering what kind of grudge this old man had against him.
"This…" Rose hesitated to take it since she felt this was too much. She raised her vision, staring at the Time G.o.d.
"It"s fine. You should take it. When the time comes, make sure you shoot one arrow on your Master"s a.s.s for me. I will take it as a payback."
"Yes." Rose nodded happily before remembering something. "That"s right. You are Master"s Father-in-law, so should I call you, Grandpa? Can I, Grandpa?"
Not knowing why, but her voice rang sweetly in his ears. "Ah, so this is what it feels to have a granddaughter. I see, I see. It"s far more amazing than I thought."
"Oi, don"t take the matter of my chast.i.ty off like that…" Alex twitched his eyebrows, wanting to smack Rose"s head, but he couldn"t due to the Time G.o.d.
"Good, good. Take care of your master, alright? If he dared to make his wives cry, beat him up for me."
"Yes, I will strictly follow Grandpa"s rule." She quickly nodded.
In some way, these two had the same goal, so no wonder they could be on the same page this easily. Yeah, the goal was beating Alex.
He then turned to the one beside Rose, who seemed to have the same height as her.
Evelyn crossed her legs, slightly rose her skirt, and bowed politely. The royal blood in her was still dominant, it seemed.
"My name is Evelyn De Viona, but I guess my name should have changed into Evelyn De Sirius."
"Hmph. What is the use of it? I never agree for my beloved Xingzhi to change her surname even if it"s a part of the custom. She is mine. Forever mine." The Time G.o.d snorted, looking very petty.
"…" Alex could only sigh when watching this old man. "Whatever. I don"t really care about the name."
"Hear that?!" The Time G.o.d made a smug smile and said, "Either way, you seem to be royalty somewhere, but I won"t talk much about it because the most important thing is the present."
"Yes. Even so, I still couldn"t help but smile when thinking about my current name." Evelyn smiled genuinely, startling the Time G.o.d.
The latter narrowed his eyes while glaring at Alex. "You boy. How dare you kidnap this well-mannered lady? Never mind. You are shameless. No need to explain it to me."
"Actually, I am the one that is pursuing Big Brother Alex. It"s one-sided admiration at first." She played with her hair as her face turned red.
When Time G.o.d saw her like this, he snorted. "Hmph. I have just witnessed a crime right now. I should erase you from this universe, you jerk."
"Oi. What do you mean crime? I don"t know anything." Alex really wanted to fight it out with this old man.
"The reason you trained her must be to cultivate her to be your wife." He harrumphed.
"I was and am not a lolicon."
"What is a lolicon?"
"It"s about a guy loving a kid, Father." Lin Xingzhi finally opened her mouth.
"…" The Time G.o.d became even more furious. "Really?"
"I am starting to believe that you hate me, Father." Alex sighed.
"You don"t need to start it because I hate you with every cell in my body. You dare to take my daughter away from me is the biggest crime you can ever commit."
"…" Alex fell silent for a few seconds. "I am not guilty."
"Yes, you are." The Time G.o.d turned to another person again. "Anyway, it"s a waste of time to talk with you. I better know the others first."
The next one was Letizia. "I am Letizia La Scola. Master has given me everything I have right now."
"Master…You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. This is it, I am going to beat you up."
"Wha—" Letizia panicked and came between them, while asking the Time G.o.d to stop. "I was foolish at that time and voluntarily became his slave. Master has always wanted to break the contract, but I have been refusing him this whole time. So, I am in the wrong."
"l…" The Time G.o.d was still p.i.s.sed off and shouted at Alex. "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Are you going to hide behind a woman?"
"I am not." Alex sighed. "You are so petty."
"So what?" The Time G.o.d crossed his arms while looking away. "So, who is the last girl? She is not your wife yet, right?"
"My name is Silvia Resta. Well, I am a Doctor. Other than that, I don"t think I have something to be proud of."
"You are still young, but you have this kind of strength. If that is not something to be proud of, then what is it?"
"I am nothing compared to him." Silvia shook her head.
"Hmph. He is forcefully aging his body. Although it"s just practice, he will wear out before he knows it."
"Yes. I have treated him before. I think he can continue for a while until the second treatment, which happens to be the last." Silvia nodded.
"So, you marry her because of her skill?"
"Why are you nitpicking every little thing, Father? Besides, do I look like someone who will take advantage of my status just to get a woman?"
"Your past life? No. Your current life? I don"t know."
"…" Alex sighed. "I don"t. I guarantee you."
"Fine."
"By the way, where are Anna and Anya?"
"They are trying hard in Eulja. Due to the power of the Dungeon G.o.d, they have the chance to reach G.o.d King. Though, Anna is the closest one because she has the concept ready. There are several more candidates, but in terms of potential alone, I think Leoz has the biggest probability. We will see." Lin Xingzhi explained.
"No wonder. Give my regards to them. They are good kids."
"Yes." Lin Xingzhi nodded. "That"s right. There are three more, but they can"t come here. They are Alicia, Firia, and Sherry. Alicia was a human before becoming a Phoenix Queen. She is adept in Array and Ice Element.
"Firia has Alex"s Sacrificial Element and her refining skill has grown so much in the past decades. I believe she can soon become one of the strongest alchemists in the younger generation. Last but not least, Sherry. She is a Celestial Fox. Alex"s Pure Fire allows her to evolve her fire to the same level as the former Fire G.o.d, Phitrus."
"Hmm. I see. Three talented daughters-in-law." The Time G.o.d nodded, satisfied. "That"s right. About the Time Element guy, what was his name again?"
"I haven"t told you. His name is Navin. My father is known as the Palm G.o.d." Silvia explained.
"Palm G.o.d is currently a G.o.d King, but compared to the previous generation of G.o.d Kings, his strength is still lacking," Lin Xingzhi added.
"I see. I only want to add this. Don"t trust all the G.o.d Kings." He smiled.
"I understand. I shall keep that in mind." Lin Xingzhi nodded with a serious expression.
"Good. This will be the last time we met…" His expression mellowed. "I hope that we won"t meet again. I don"t want to think of a possibility of meeting any of you in the afterlife. You hear me?"
Alex clenched his fists and nodded. "I will do my best to keep them safe."
"Good. Remember our promise."
"Yes, Father."
"I am sorry, but I don"t know what you three wants, so you can grab it in the storage yourself. The same rule." The Time G.o.d smiled and looked at Lin Xingzhi as if telling him to supervise the entire vault.
"I know. We won"t break it no matter what." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"In that case, I don"t need to worry anymore. Don"t forget to send my regards to all his wives that are not here." The Time G.o.d raised both hands as his body began to disappear.
"Father." Lin Xingzhi shouted and hugged him again. She wanted to feel him until the last second because she missed him so much.
"Hehe. Good daughter. Keep smiling, alright? Your mother"s most beautiful moment was when she smiled." The Time G.o.d hugged her back. "I am leaving."
"Don"t worry. Everything will be fine, Father." Lin Xingzhi closed her eyes until she lost the feeling in her hand as the Time G.o.d had completely disappeared.
Alex appeared behind her and hugged her, not wanting to leave her alone. "I am here."
Lin Xingzhi smiled and looked upward. "Yes. This is a new beginning."
"Yes. Let"s go."
"Yeah, but you are the only one who needs to go. We won"t meet the Life and Death G.o.ddess since the one she is waiting for is you."
"Are you sure?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yep." She smiled and turned around, kissing him on the lips. "Just don"t forget to bring us home."
"Of course."
