Adel was currently in a deep slumber. If she wakes up at all, she will continue to bleed and die, and this is something I will not allow to happen. Adel has been with me for so many years and has been at my side, helping me, caring for me, and loving me with her entire being. Looking at her current peaceful sleeping face, it breaks my heart to know that she can not wake up until I figure out a way to help her.
"Atollie, is there no way to break the connection between this world and that world for Adel? Is there a way for me to bring back the Adel I love so much?" Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked pleadingly at Atollie. If I could do anything that would fix Adel's current state, I would do it in a heartbeat. Adel is what one could call a true friend. Someone who would give their life for those she loves. And I will repay her in kind. "What…. What if I gave her my life force?"
"No! Master!" Atollie yelled out and shockingly slapped me in the face! "Never speak about giving up your life force." Atollie's eyes were burning with anger. I lowered my head. I know this was not a solution that would make anyone happy, but if it meant keeping Adel alive I….
"There is a way, but it is dangerous. If you mess up even a single step, you can shatter this world completely. If you want to stop the world collision from happening, you will need to figure out what caused it to begin with. What put this timeline on to the same timeline as the other worlds? If you can find the point that caused this world to intersect with ours, then you can stop this from happening, but…. If you change the wrong thing, you could cause an even worse scenario." Atollie bit her lip as she told me all of this. She seemed to be having an internal conflict.
"Will I still have the same power as I do now if I go back?" I asked as I looked up at Atollie.
"Master…. If you wish to keep the same powers and strength, then you can…. But….it might also change the timeline as well…." Atollie explained. I looked at myself and then looked at the girl peacefully sleeping on the bed and closed my eyes. I feel like I have done this before. "Atollie, how many times have I summoned you thus far?"
Atollie looked at me with a complicated expression. "I lost count…."
"Then… I want to keep all my memories and all my powers. If I am to reset time, then I will just need to do things in a manner that does not veer off course too much, right?" I asked as I looked at Atollie, who seemed to be struggling.
"Yes, but…. This will just become another timeline like the rest. Everything you have built up here will disappear. Everything. Even if you become the strongest person in all the heavens, this timeline will still continue on. The Adel of this timeline will still be stuck sleeping. She will always be connected to the other world's Adel. It will not change anything in this timeline…." I know what Atollie is saying, but what should I do?
"Faith. Do it…." I turned to see Sophie standing there. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. "Try to save her. Even if it is another timeline."
"But…. We have not tried everything in this one as of yet. Atollie, is there really no other way?" I asked once more. I had to exhaust all possibilities before I made my final decision. Turning back the clock is not exactly a good thing.
Atollie looked at me and shook her head. "No… At this point, with my current powers and your own, it will be impossible. Only those who stand above all are able to fix the timelines how they see fit. If you wanted to save her, you would need to become someone who stands above all. But even in her current state, it will only slow the process. I can not stop it forever. And I hate to say it but even if you abandon everything and do nothing but level, the chances of you gaining such power in time is zero. Only by going back will you be able to have a slim chance of adjusting the timeline, but it is still a guessing game. Even I do not know what caused your timeline to split."
So she is basically saying that no matter what. If I wish to save Adel, I will need to go back to the past. I still have many questions, but for now, the most important questions are. "If I keep my current powers and system as is, will I be able to bring you, Iena, Diablo, and the slimes with me?"
"Yes…." Atollie nodded her head.
"I would keep my memories of this timeline?"
"Yes…."
"Can I bring Sophie with me….?"
"No….. Only those who are connected to you will be able to follow you. This includes Miss Grace."
"So I just need to make it, so Sophie is connected to me, right?" I asked, my eyes filled with hope.
"You can but…. How would…."
"Hehe…. Did you forget what race I am? I never wanted to do it, and it is up to Sophie if she is willing, but I can make her a Drakani as well…." I turned and looked at Sophie, who was standing there, tears rolling down her cheeks. When she heard my words, she slowly lifted her head, staring at me in confusion. "Sophie, my little fluff fluff…. Will you come with me? To help me save Adel?"
Sophie walked forward and hugged me. "Mmm…. As long as I can always be with you."
"Of course, but first, I have many things to settle here. Since this world will continue on, I must at least say my goodbyes in my own way. I still wish to see Gesel have her baby. Now that I think about it…. Atollie, what happens to me if I go back?"
"You and everyone who is following you will disappear and will be forgotten. The only things that will be left are the remnants of the things you had done in this world, but since you are taking your memories and the memories of those with you, there will be no you left in this world."
