Tick—.Tick—.

The shape of a golden clock with the clock hand spinning appeared above my head. The important thing was that the clock hand was moving in the reverse direction. Every time the clock ticked, the time of the world was going back. The dazzling white light stretched out across the Ark Continent and affected everything. The surroundings were being rewound and it was like these things had never happened.

The broken ground was filled and the broken city walls were restored one after another. The clouds were turning back and the sun was returning. It was a spectacle that couldn’t be done with human power at all. The important thing was that those who were dead were being revived.

I remembered what my wife had told me before leaving the Underworld.

‘Perhaps a lot of people will already be dead when you arrive. Still, don’t worry. I will close the passage that souls from the human world use to move to the Underworld. Their souls will stay there. Then you just have to turn back time.’

This was another reason why Yoo Seonyeong needed to stay in the Underworld. She had prepared a number of things to stop Lee Geonmyeong. By forcibly blocking the souls from entering the Underworld, it gave room for the dead to be resurrected on the spot. Then once I arrived, I could turn back time and revive the countless souls that couldn’t leave the human world.

It was as she said. The souls were hovering in this area. If there was a way to bring them back to life, it was like they had never died. They would be restored to their original state.

‘Kronos’ pocket watch can only turn back time once. It also can’t turn back too much time. So you have to use it carefully. Use it when you really need it. That is what Gaia, no, Hyeyeon, said to me.’

I didn’t know if this was the moment she thought was necessary, but using Pluto’s eyes, I could see the souls in the sky finding their original places. The dead were revived and returned to their original places. The souls found their spots and vitality returned to the eyes of the dead.

Finally, Park Muyeol’s body, which was in front of me, started to be restored to its original state. The dried blood returned to his body again. His wounds were healed and his head went back to its original place. Soon, Park Muyeol’s eyes were also energetic and young.

“Jerk. This look is dirty.”

I was thankful after seeing the resurrected Park Muyeol, but I also felt disgusted. Once I saw the face of this person who was revived, I wondered if I had wasted Kronos’ pocket watch saving him.

“Sigh, I’ve already used it.”

Next was the forced retreat of the demons who had come. All of the allied forces, including Park Muyeol, returned to the city. Contrary to their usual faces, their eyes were shining. I saw many faces that I knew. I looked at their faces one by one and thought I had done well to use this power.

Then the image of the golden pocket watch above my head started to flicker. The pocket watch exhausted its strength and was finally losing its light. I slowly placed the large Poison Eating Sword on my shoulder using my right hand. At the same time, the dazzling light faded and the pocket watch fell onto my palm.

Just then, loud murmurs were heard from the walls.

“What? What’s going on?!”

“I was definitely dead?”

“Why am I here?”

The city was in chaos. Everyone looked like they were in a dream as they recalled what happened previously. However, it definitely wasn’t a dream. It was natural for all of them to be bewildered. Then the surface of the pocket watch in my hand cracked.

I silently looked down at the broken pocket watch. Then with a faint sigh, I flew through the air to the wall where the allies were. The eyes of all those who saw me grew larger.

At the same time, Lee Geonmyeong was alarmed by the sudden rewinding of time.

[What is this nonsense...?!]

Now there were all the memories from before time turned back in his head. It was natural since he didn’t die and experienced the time regression in his living state. Lee Geonmyeong was angry at losing Gaia’s power that he had absorbed and angry at his helplessness at being unable to move his body, but even he couldn’t defy time. He quickly moved the sky and observed the situation of Metheus which had just been attacked by the demon army.

[......!]

Lee Geonmyeong’s eyes widened. The war should’ve taken place, but Metheus was fine. The demon kings’ army that should be there wasn’t seen either.

Lee Geonmyeong was upset and endured the urge to create a natural disaster at Metheus. It was because he hadn’t yet identified the unknown power that had turned back the time of the world. Even if he created a natural disaster, there was a possibility that someone would turn back time again.

Lee Geonmyeong looked bitter and commanded Lucifer to come back. Lee Geonmyeong couldn’t do anything in the face of the unknown enemy who could turn back time. Everything would be useless if he absorbed Gaia’s power only for time to turn back. Lee Geonmyeong was forced to wait here and focus on identifying the enemy.

[Things are becoming twisted!]

Lee Geonmyeong’s face was filled with resentment and he angrily swung his fists at the rocks around him. The white thunderbolt that was fired from his hand was like a natural disaster and collapsed a nearby mountain. The sudden landslide turned the area into a small basin in the blink of an eye.

At the deep sea city of Atlantis...

Currently, Atlantis was also in turmoil. Everyone was surprised by the regression of time. Kang Jaeseong also clearly felt the time regression phenomenon.

[Has he already used Kronos’ pocket watch?]

Kang Jaeseong frowned and thought deeply. Right now, there were three women in front of him. They were Huera, Cadiya, and Maya. Kang Jaeseong had realized that the familiar energy he felt belonged to the goddesses. The three goddesses had consumed all their divine power and fell into a deep sleep. It wasn’t that it was impossible to wake them up.

However, Neptune, in whom Kang Jaeseong’s consciousness resided, would fall asleep. Then Kang Jaeseong, who was connected to Neptune, would return to the real world.

‘What should I do?’

In fact, time suddenly regressed as he was looking at the three goddesses in front of him. Kang Jaeseong was filled with deep anxiety after realizing that Kronos’ pocket watch, mentioned by Yoo Seonyeong, was used. The fact that it was used showed it was the worst situation.

‘I should go back to reality.’

Kang Jaeseong closed his eyes after he finished thinking. He used his consciousness to summon Clymene and Deucalion. He also ordered them to bring Joseph who was still here. Moments later, the three people entered the room together.

“You called.” Clymene spoke to Kang Jaeseong as the representative of the group.

Kang Jaeseong stared at her. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, “I have something to say to you.”

* * *

People all over the world cheered. Since they were outsiders, they were watching this situation from the perspective of a third party.

First, Union’s employees cheered and praised Choi Chuntaek, who suddenly appeared and turned back time. The anchors who had been broadcasting live screamed with excitement and disbelief at the rewinding of time. They burst into tears once everyone was returned to life.

The families of those trapped in the game burst into tears at his appearance and screamed for the fact that those who thought they were dead had been brought back to life. Everyone held hands and enjoyed this joyful situation. Then shouts burst out when there was a report that the demon army was no longer attacking Metheus and had retreated.

The whole world was filled with these shouts. Everyone cheered for Choi Chuntaek.

* * *

Meanwhile, Yoo Minseok was also watching the situation on the TV in the car. He also wanted to scream and express his excitement. However, he couldn’t do so. He gripped the steering wheel closely.

“Thank you, thank you...”

Words of thanks kept coming from his mouth. He didn’t know who he was grateful to. He just wanted to express his thanks. The targets were God and Choi Chuntaek, who had saved people by turning time back. He was the hero who saved humanity.

“Sigh. Steady my mind.”

Yoo Minseok saw the news that the demon kings’ army had retreated and put down his worries. He gradually increased his speed as he thought that he should finish his task quickly. After two more hours, he was finally able to reach Jaeseong Hospital. Immediately after parking, he told the front desk that he was here for a visit. He gained the permission of Kang Misung, the sister of Kang Jaeseong. He grabbed the visitor card and got into the elevator.

Dding-!

He arrived at the floor where Kang Jaeseong’s hospital room was and the elevator doors slowly opened. Suddenly, he saw doctors and nurses busy running.

“This is unbelievable. There really is a miracle. A person who is in a coma has woken up!”

The words of a running doctor caused questions to fill Yoo Minseok’s eyes. The place where the doctor entered was the VIP room Yoo Minseok was heading to. It was obviously Kang Jaeseong’s room. Then the person who the doctors said just woke up...

“Don’t tell me?”

The surprised Yoo Minseok quickly ran into Kang Jaeseong’s hospital room. As he reached the door, he saw a pale but smiling Kang Jaeseong surrounded by doctors and nurses. There, his sister, Kang Misung, was weeping.
