God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

The scene returned back to where I was and once again, I was back at the same place where I was just a few moments ago. Standing with my hand in my front, where previously that thread ball of energy was. Now there was nothing.

"How did you do it?" Armes asked as he observed with shocked eyes that had thousands of questions. He looked at his body for a few moments before more confusion entered his eyes.

'Just how much back did we go… and who were they… and who was he… Aether?' I thought as I myself couldn't find an answer to it. Turning at Armes, I asked,

"Do you know who Aether is?"

Though he just looked at me and asked back,"Aether? Who? No, I don't know."

"I mean the guy who changed the System codes or whatever they were," I asked again and he was even more confused than before as he asked,"what codes? What are you talking about?"

'Huh?!' my eyes widened as a sudden realization struck my brain and I confirmed,"can you tell me what happened in the past 20 minutes?"

He nodded before speaking,"I don't know why you are asking, but… we fought and you almost killed me. But then you spoke something about saving me and then the next thing that I found was that my body was free from the restrictions of this place… So, can you tell me what in the Nyx's name is going on here?"

'Ah! So he doesn't remember,' I thought as I spoke,"forget it. It's too hard to explain, anyway."

I then shook my head as I cleared all my thoughts. The only thing that I need to remember is that I am still nothing but an ant in front of the really powerful ones. I need to work harder… get stronger.

What did that guy say… yeah…

'I should at least be capable of killing a God or two,' I chuckled as I realized what I was just thinking. That guy made it look too easy.

"Come now. What are you waiting for?" I spoke as I looked at the stupefied Armes who snapped out of his stupor and started shouting,"Hey, Wait! Stop! Answer me! Don't leave me hanging. What did you do?"

Ignoring him, I kept walking deeper into the pyramid, into another room of sorts. This room was totally different from the previous one. If the previous one was filled with mechanical instruments and figures, this was a blooming garden of as many colorful flowers as you can think of.

And at the center of the garden, there was a tree large enough to reach the height of a 3 storey building. With Armes behind me, I moved closer to the tree before someone came in my view.

It was a girl with pinkish hair. She was wearing a red-coloured shrine robe and sitting in a calm, meditating position. The sakura-like leaves were levitating around her slowly and slowly.

"I see… so someone has finally succeeded," she spoke as she opened her heterochromatic eyes. One purplish pink just like her hair, while the other one deep blue. I could only look at them, as they were really mesmerizing, to say the least.

She slowly stood up as a sword formed in her hand. It was more like a katana, but with the edges a bit broader. She slowly began walking towards me but soon as her eyes fell on Armes…

"Father?" she spoke in confusion.

"..." I looked at Armes for a second before looking at her again and then Armes,"I didn't take you for a kidnapper!" "I am not!!" he shouted as he glared at me in annoyance,"She takes after her mother."

"Her mother was a human?" I asked curiously, and he shook his head as he answered,"Normalis would be the appropriate word. Although Normalis look like humans, in essence there is a lot of difference between them."

'Okay, so she is a human-like person,' I concluded before observing her running at a rapid speed as she jumped at Armes and spoke,"Father! What happened? I thought… I thought…"

And there started a bit of explanation of why this happened and that happened.

Though it was all summed up in one sentence in the end

"He did something and broke the restrictions." Which brought all the attention back to me. Though I didn't have any intentions to explain anything to anyone. It's not like I did not want to, but more like if I started explaining there will be more questions and then we will come to a point where even I don't know the answers to it.

So I would rather just skip it altogether.

"I have my secrets," I spoke with a calm face as I looked at them. Armes observed me with a slightly narrowed look before he sighed and spoke,"Well… forcing you won't get us anywhere."

Good decision.

As for the daughter, Enkonomiya, was her name, she looked at me with keen eyes before she moved forward and looked at me, analyzed me. And once she was done with that, she questioned,

"How come I sense no energy coming from you? No Elemental Energy, no Spiritual Energy, no Zombification Energy, nothing. Even Plant Energy… it's not present on you. Do you have a form of energy that doesn't belong to this realm?" Her hands tightly held the hands of Armes while her eyes observed me with a keen expression and even Armes observed me with the same look.

I smiled at them and nodded before calmingly looking at them and speaking.

"I have my secrets."
