Chapter 1897  Lilith\'s Memories. IX

She just kept following his journey without interfering, waiting for the perfect time. It arrived at last when Felix decided to search the Shurima Temple for treasures.

This time, everyone watched as Lilith opened a void portal and placed Nimo\'s egg above the Guardian\'s palm before disappearing.

Then, she watched him almost lose his life if it wasn\'t for the Devourer\'s heart acting as a secondary heart after half of his body got deleted by the beam.

Even then, she refrained from interjecting. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

\'Too much meddling will do more harm than not.\' She said as she chewed gum with a careless look.

But, she still did something that none of them had expected.

She blinked to the deserted galaxy, where Kronos was known to reside. Then, she approached the black hole and spoke with a playful smile, "Krono, it\'s your favorite girl, how about you let me in?"

"Sigh..."

A deep sigh resounded from the black hole, making Lilith giggle in amusement before stepping inside the death machine.

However, she ended up emerging on the other side in one piece, leaving her to gaze at the frozen timeline with a look of intrigue.

"Lilith," Kronos rumbled, "You know you\'re wasting your efforts."

Lilith focused on Kronos\' massive eye above her and said calmly, "You know why I\'m here, Krono. I\'ve seen what\'s on the other side, and I want it."

Kronos\' pupil thinned as it locked into her eyes. Then, a deep exhale left his lips, "No one wants that, Lilith. Believe me. What lies beyond is a burden, not a prize."

Lilith\'s lips curled into a small knowing smile. "Burden or not, I want it. I\'ve seen what it can do, what it can unlock. And you, Krono, are going to help me get it."

Kronos stared at her for a long moment, the weight of countless ages behind his gaze.

"Very well. But remember, Lilith, once you cross that threshold, there\'s no turning back."

Lilith winked at him. "I\'m counting on it."

Kronos shook his giant eye and then created a spacetime tear. In an instant, both of them were pulled into the tear, leaving behind the desolate wasteland and emerging into another frozen timeline.

When Lilith opened her eyes, she found herself standing above the Sealing Hall on the imprisonment grounds!

"This..."

Felix and the rest of the tenants were left stunned as they watched Lilith summon a golden earring from thin air. Then, she extended dark tentacles to wrap around the Sealing Hall.

With a single tug, the Sealing Hall was absorbed into the Golden Sun earring.

Lilith examined the earring with satisfaction, its weight a comforting presence in her palm. She fastened it to her ear, feeling the ancient power settle into place, now under her control.

She turned to Kronos, who watched her with a mixture of concern and resignation.

"You\'ll regret this," Kronos said quietly, his voice filled with a somber warning. "The price is higher than you think."

Lilith met his gaze with a cold smile. "Perhaps. But that\'s a risk I\'m willing to take."

"Thank you for your help, Krono."

With that, she turned and vanished into the ether, leaving Kronos alone in the frozen timeline once more.

Felix paused the memories immediately, feeling like his brain was about to explode.

"I had a feeling that Lilith might have had a hand in getting me the sealing hall for Nimo\'s alter ego, but I never expected her to obtain it this way." Felix expressed, still trying to make sense of what he had witnessed.

"I am just as confused." Thor knitted his eyebrows, "How can she obtain another sealing hall from a different timeline? Isn\'t everything changeable besides the only constants, like unigins and natural realms?"

"True, if Asna was sealed in one timeline, there wouldn\'t be copies of her in other timelines, which means no sealing halls too." Candace tilted her head, "Is my understanding correct?"

"Your understanding is correct if you considered the other timelines as a standalone with their own people and set of rules." Eris clarified calmly, "But, it isn\'t. Those timelines are nothing but copies of the main universe frozen in different durations from the beginning of time to its end."

"Any changes occurring in the main universe, which is considered as the main timeline, will affect the rest of the timelines, changing everything while keeping it frozen."

"Aa, I still don\'t understand..." Candace smiled wryly.

"In simpler terms, when Kronos has sent Asna and Felix to a different frozen timeline twenty years in the past, he has awakened it as the new main timeline." Eris explained, "As the new main timeline, all other frozen timelines were affected based on the degree of the temporal manipulation. Since it was a mere twenty years, the past remained somewhat the same, but the changes occurring in the future were drastic enough, that the entire history was altered."

"This makes me believe that Kronos has tapped into a personal frozen timeline outside of the universe\'s rules. Otherwise, it shouldn\'t be possible to find a perfect sealing hall since Asna was locked in it while she was in the eternal kingdom."

"This meant the moment she disappeared, all the sealing halls in other frozen timelines should be gone too."

"That makes most sense." Lady Sphinx was the first to nod in understanding.

"That\'s why Lilith has gone to him, knowing that he is the only one with a spare sealing hall." Lord Marduk added.

"The real question should be why did Kronos decide to help her so easily and without any payment?" Felix knitted his eyebrows.

Knowing that all of Kronos\' moves were calculated and had an end goal drove Felix to believe that he was helping him through Lilith.

After all, it was clear that he was the only one knowing the full truth about their universe.

"It\'s like he is trying to help you reach the truth on your own," Asna said, "He has been helping you from the shadows and when you directly asked him for it, he rejected it."

"I think so too." Felix nodded.

Now that Lilith had the Sealing Hall, it didn\'t take a genius to know what her next move was.

As expected, Lilith took off towards Foremother Siamese\'s galaxy, seeking a meeting with no one but Lord Zurvan!

The only person who could help her with her plan without jeopardizing anything.

While Lord Zurvan was a mere primogenitor, he was still the primogenitor of time. Thus, the moment Lilith emerged from a portal in front of his cozy cottage, he didn\'t seem surprised one bit.

"I have been expecting you, Madam Lilith." He greeted as he sat on a table with two cups of tea already poured.

Lilith didn\'t bother taking his offer at the table.

She threw the Golden Sun earrings on the table and said calmly, "You know what to do with it."

Then, she turned around and left before Foremother Siamese could interfere.

"My lord, what was that?" Foremother Siamese\'s voice resounded in the cottage.

"My small and humble role." Lord Zurvan smiled bitterly as he played with the earring in his hand, his pupils reflecting a vision.

A vision showing Felix coming to this very cottage to collect this earring...
