Chapter 40

To resist foreign aggression, one must first settle internal affairs.

Without a sufficiently strong foundation, there is no need to attack the Time Variance Authority.

So Su Quan is operating "Where Are You" in the outside world and eyeing Madripoor.

He wants to develop manpower and cultivate a super-soldier legion under the nose of the Time Variance Authority or the Sacred Timeline.

It’s not cowardice, nor is it that he doesn't dare to fight, it’s mainly unnecessary.

You already know how to achieve victory, so naturally, you don't want to waste time on side issues.

Back to the point.

Controlling Alioth is the key to completely mastering the Void, and mastering the Void is the foundation for mastering the Time Variance Authority—

So Su Quan didn't pay attention to what the system’s drop prompt was, nor did he feel any changes in himself, concentrating all his spirit to launch waves of invasion against Alioth.

"Huh—I can move!"

President Loki, who had previously looked ashen, suddenly revealed a look of pleasant surprise as he discovered he had regained his freedom.

"There’s always someone who doesn't know when to die; that’s Alioth!"

Muttering to himself, President Loki looked toward Alioth, preparing to run.

But upon looking, he was stunned.

That guy actually didn't die?

Wait!

Alioth seemed to have stopped. He—he could actually make Alioth stop?

President Loki stared at that figure with sinister eyes, lost in thought.

"A stalemate, then—"

If he defeats or controls Alioth, wouldn't I be under someone else's thumb forever?

I am the King!

Kill him!

As long as he dies, no one can threaten my rule and my status as King, and everything will return to normal.

Even if I still have to face the threat of Alioth, I could still be as comfortable as a fish in water, reigning as king, just like before.

Now is the best opportunity!

President Loki slowly stood up, his hands quietly gripping two daggers, preparing to unleash his signature skill: backstab!

However, other Lokis had the same idea, and were even a step faster than him.

"Go to hell!"

One Loki, holding a spear in both hands, stabbed directly toward that guy's lower back.

"That idiot!"

President Loki cursed in his heart.

Once that guy is dead, Alioth will have no opponent and certainly won't let them go!

"Hmm?"

Su Quan, who was fully focused on dealing with Alioth, suddenly felt a very faint surge of energy within his body.

Immediately after, the system notification sounded.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Disease Immunity (Loki)"

Behind him.

The spear-wielding Loki looked at the spear tip, which was only an inch away from the other's lower back but unable to get any closer. Refusing to believe it, he pulled it back and stabbed with force again, clearly determined not to stop until he had pierced the guy's kidneys!

Here it comes again.

Su Quan once again felt a faint surge of energy within his body; this was the energy absorbed by [Energy Absorption and Release].

Frowning, he turned his head, and crimson heat vision pierced directly through the head of the Loki who had tried to backstab him.

"Thud!"

Accompanied by a sizzling sound of burning, the Loki slowly collapsed to the ground.

Not far away, the other small-fry Lokis scattered and fled, but you can run from the monk, but you can't run from the temple; in the Void, where could they possibly go?

His crimson eyes looked toward President Loki, who hadn't managed to escape yet. President Loki’s expression stiffened, and he sheepishly squeezed out an ugly smile.

With a thud, he knelt!

Fine, you’re something else; you really know how to stand tall and kneel low!

Su Quan retracted his heat vision and turned back to continue conquering Alioth; he had a premonition that Alioth couldn't hold on much longer.

"Hum!"

The dam broke, and the flood poured out.

Su Quan had exhausted his efforts, launching attacks tirelessly, and finally succeeded in entering.

When you can enter easily, you should understand that it’s not because you are powerful, but because others have already widened the path for you. What I admire is not the excavator, but those fearless wideners—

Su Quan’s hard work was not in vain; Alioth’s mental neck was vast, and it was resisting with all its might, attempting to drive his mental power out.

Having no time to spare for the unknown past within Alioth’s memories, Su Quan hurriedly controlled its mind, forcing it into a state of unconscious slumber.

At the same time, he forcibly modified its memories so that from now on, it would only obey his commands!

"Done!"

Everything settled, Su Quan clenched his fist in excitement, preparing to find President Loki to share this joy.

Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone, right?

What?

You say he isn't joyful? What does that have to do with me!

Turning around, Su Quan didn't even see a shadow of President Loki; one has to say, as expected of Loki, his survival instincts are top-tier!

A pity, he missed this chance to share the joy; I’m afraid there won't be many opportunities for him to be happy in the future—

Under the dark and gloomy sky, Su Quan strolled leisurely in the lead, with Alioth, once a symbol of death, following obediently behind him.

This scene was like a King patrolling his territory with a monster; it was both eerie and harmonious.

Pieces of gold and silver jewelry flew out from various hidden corners under the control of his magnetic field, hovering around Su Quan and moving along with him.

Su Quan opened the system; the chaotic slaughter by the Lokis and the battle with Alioth had dropped quite a few combat rewards.

He was only 16 points away from upgrading the combat detection Detection Range again.

Super Strength, Super Stamina, Super Defense, Cold Immunity, Super Vitality, and Self-Healing—these basic abilities had all improved to varying degrees.

He had newly acquired four abilities.

Disease Immunity, Virus Immunity, Energy Projection, and Negation of Time.

Disease Immunity and Virus Immunity are self-explanatory—immunity to various diseases and viruses. Energy Projection is just standard magical energy attacks; these are considered standard abilities for a 'Loki'.

Negation of Time, however, is worth discussing in detail.

Alioth has two core abilities: one is absorbing various energies and matter, and the other is the Negation of Time!

The power of Negation of Time lies in its ability to prevent time energy from traveling to the end of time before its existence; in other words, one cannot travel to a time before it existed to destroy or change it.

To put it simply, no time traveler or agent from the Time Variance Authority can change Su Quan through time!

He is a fixed, absolute existence; one can change his future, but not his past.

Taking the Time Variance Authority as an example, Time Keepers can prune him, but they cannot change him by resetting the timeline.

If there were ten people beside Su Quan when the timeline was reset, those ten people would be pruned as a time branch; after the reset, they would continue to live according to their established fate before the time branch appeared.

But, not Su Quan!
