Victor sat alone in a luxurious and spacious room, comfortably reclining on a soft sofa.

His gaze slowly swept over the surroundings, taking a close look.

This room was specially prepared for him by Gwen's servants.

The room was luxurious and bright, with a bright chandelier hanging from the ceiling like the sun.

The dazzling light made the whole room exceptionally bright.

Silk curtains cascaded down from above like a silver waterfall, brushing against the sofa and across the wooden floor.

The air is filled with the delicate fragrance of lilies, making one feel incredibly relaxed as soon as they step into this space.

Victor remembered that when the maid led him into this room, she kept secretly looking him over.

It's like wondering if he really is Victor.

Now, Viktor finally has the opportunity to calm down and carefully consider the current situation.

Based on the conversations of the servants around him and Gwen's rank, he could basically confirm it.

He had returned to the empire ten years in the future.

Viktor was not surprised that the empire had developed to its current state.

After all, with the fall of the Reiser family in the south, the empire directly acquired all the technology of the advanced city of Tieppo.

In addition, the influence of the magic academy led to an explosive growth in the number of mages within the empire.

The mage profession, which used to be said to offer jobs upon graduation, has now become highly competitive due to the increasing number of mages.

Many mages, unable to find work, have no choice but to set aside their pride and become magical laborers.

To contribute to the construction of the empire.

In the past ten years, being a mage has become a common profession.

The number has increased significantly, at least compared to when Victor left.

However, what puzzled Victor the most was...

Why was he transported to the world ten years in the future by Chaos?

Viktor knew that Chaos possessed the power to influence time because he himself was the vessel of space and time.

As long as he exists, time will continue to flow.

Correspondingly, controlling the speed of time is a piece of cake for him.

However, his actions disrupted Viktor's entire plan.

"Is it to stop me from continuing to influence the timeline?"

At this moment, this is the only explanation Victor can think of.

I will let you leave, but I never said I would let you go back to any particular time.

So he had Viktor skip the most important decade of development.

Try to erase his presence during this period in order to correct the timeline.

Chaos initially wanted to eliminate Viktor because he was affecting the timeline.

After trying various methods, Chaos found that he could not eliminate Viktor at all, so he settled for a less desirable option.

They altered his timeline, sending him back to a world ten years in the future.

"So, what is the second reason?"

Viktor closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself.

As Chaos said, he really couldn't keep Victor.

It would be pointless for the two of them to fight.

Perhaps Viktor without Vega can't kill Chaos's health bar, but Chaos will definitely not be able to take victory from him.

Therefore, even when invited to go to the Initial Space alone, Viktor never felt afraid of Chaos.

However confident he was.

Chaos simply wouldn't fight him, and he was helpless against him.

Viktor could reasonably deduce this.

Even if he did not actively enter the Initial Space, Chaos would still use the power of time to send him to the Empire ten years in the future.

'Since I can't eliminate you, I'll disrupt your plans.'

But why choose a precise ten years from now?

Viktor slowly opened his eyes; he seemed to have found an absolute answer.

"The gods have descended."

Ten years later, the arrival of the gods once again plunged the world into chaos and abyss.

In Victor's memory, only the Karencia Empire was spared from the gods' invasion.

Other countries, on the other hand, sought to avoid population loss caused by attacks from gods and their large followings.

They were forced to make offerings to the gods.

Thus, a thousand years later, the world once again fell under the rule of the divine kingdom.

Moreover, Chaos knew about something that Victor had always been wondering about.

Besides his name, there's one more thing.

Nature rejected the name Gaia and did not create the gods.

Therefore, in theory, a god like Hades should not exist.

However, Gaia's disappearance is now a fait accompli.

The appearance of these gods then became an unknown question.

For Victor, if he had still existed in the Empire during those ten years...

Then he would definitely disrupt the timeline and prevent the divine descent that should have occurred ten years later from happening.

But once he stopped the gods from descending, Victor could no longer find the answer to how the gods had bypassed Gaia's appearance.

Being sent ten years into the future prevented Viktor from intervening in that timeline.

By the time he returned to the empire, everything had become an unchangeable fact.

Victor could not stop the gods from returning.

at last--

'Find the answer you seek, and deliver it to me.'

These are the words Chaos left behind in his last conversation with him.

"Is this a task given to me by the Primordial God? Hah."

If that's the case, then this mission really is like exploring a dungeon.

He might even receive a very generous reward after completing the mission.
