Chapter 65: WAR part 2

Ibro recalled the past events he had at the relic site. He asked:

"I was told by someone to come again and meet him when I kill more moleecian monsters."

"What are these moleecian monsters?"

"They are like those monsters that are attacking you. But they didn't have that lethality and brutality that these monsters showed here."

"So your world had been invaded by these monsters too? That's strange."

"Why do you say so sir?"

"Because these monsters usually attack strong empires. Everyone who came here from you aliens are from weak primitive worlds."

Ibro didn't argue with him on this fact. His world was really miles behind the Apidon world, not to mention this world here.

"So, what is the relation between that man and what you were saying before?"

"There is a strong relationship. That man is like hundreds of who were the remnant of our empire.

They were the top leaders in our Empire. I myself might be one of them. I don't know. All I know was that I met one of my friends that came from the future and told me everything."

Ibro felt lost as he asked:

"Can you tell me the whole truth please?"

"Sure, you deserve to know. In our enemy ranks, a leader with a strange ability showed up. He had the ability to use time curses. Our enemies can use curses very perfectly. Do you know about curses?"

Ibro remembered his battle with Jognak and the curse he got from it. He just nodded as his curse was very intense and affected his whole future career in the game. The leader continued:

"That man used his time curses against their enemies. We were one of them. That man can curse a certain period of time and causes it to turn into an infinite loop of time. This loop of time will never break until one day someone completed his task in this loop."

Ibro asked trying to understand more:

"Do you mean that we are now in a time loop?"

"Yes, that time loop started with this battle. In this time loop, that guy messed with the settings here. All the armies of our enemies are concentrated here. So winning them is theoretically and practically impossible."

Ibro pictured an enemy who could manipulate time. This was a very difficult enemy to deal with. He also thought about his world, did that man manipulated his own world too? Was he living in a closed-loop too?

"He is really a fearsome guy. What is my relation to all of this?"

"Let me finish and you will understand. That guy isolated some major events in our history as I learned from my colleague.

This isn't the only major event that he edited. Not every time loop was about wars. There are even time loops regarding our genius Rune Masters. He planned their assassination and deprived us of many strong cards.

When that man uses his curse, he set the final end of this loop. If we didn't change this final end, then the history will be like he drew. Time will move on based on the results he set.

If we managed to achieve a different end for his time loops then his curse will be broken. That man-made every effort possible when he used his curses to make sure the final result will never change.

For example our time loop here, he gathered all of our enemies' armies and made them attack this focal point here. The number of our enemies and their many unique abilities make this task very impossible.

Your relation to all of this is very simple. The one inside this time loop lost their ability to change anything here. We are hopeless and have no power to resist this scheme.

On the other hand, if we ended this time loop with the same result that man set, we will restart the events again. The biggest problem here is that no one of us had ever doubted about this.

We restart this time loop with the same thought we had before. We use the same strategies that failed us before. Even I who discovered the truth couldn't make any difference.

My enemies' armies are really unstoppable. Any tactic I set was always destroyed by their massive powers. I can't call for reinforcements as this time curse isolated this area from outside. The only way to make a difference here is to depend on those who come here as aliens."

Ibro felt a bad premonition in his heart. He asked in doubt:

"You mean I was sent here to help you? If this is true, why didn't the ones sent me here come by themselves?"

"That didn't work. Some of us tried but failed. That man set the rules of his curse. No one born and raised in our Empire can enter it."

"But you told me one of your colleagues managed to come here."

"That's because he was an alien just like you. He wasn't born in my Empire. So he could enter here easily."

Ibro wasn't convinced with all of these words. They were like a big fantasy novel back at Earth.

"I really can't believe your words."

"You should believe them. I know I don't have a solid evidence on these claims but I hope you can trust my words. I'm the supreme leader here. Why should I take all this trouble to deceive you?"

"That's what I kept asking myself about sir."

The leader kept looking at Ibro who was looking suspiciously to him. The leader then proposed:

"Tell me, what is your mission here?"

"I needed to prove myself and then participate in war."

"Tell me; didn't you already fulfill your task? Then why didn't you receive the success notification yet? You should have received it since I first spoke to you. Check it out. If you don't believe me then leave this place and return to your world."

Ibro felt weird. He didn't receive any notification at all. He really should have received it a long time ago. Is there some missing part he forgot? He recalled his mission again in his mind.

'Target of this Trial: Alien Ibro will start as a secondary Rune Master in one of the camps. Alien Ibro needs to familiarize himself with this profession and participate in this war.

The Trial ground can be ended when he succeed in using his profession and get acknowledgment from his superiors. When he participates in one battle he could either end the Trial or continue it.

If he continued it, the more accomplishments he has, the higher his authority will be and the stronger his profession will be. '

He should have finished his trial by now. This was very suspicious. He asked Dronil who kept his silence for a long time already:

"Dronil, what is going on?"

"I don't know. I tried to inform you about the success of the quest but I noticed a strange force interfering with my data. This force was similar to that energy I absorbed before from Jognak. It took me some time to delete this data from me."

Ibro didn't fully understand its words so he asked:

"Do you mean that some outside force was trying to interfere with the message you were preparing to send to me?"

"Yes. If I was like any normal Tech I wouldn't notice its interference. But I'm a high level Tech so I sensed this energy."

Ibro felt fear. There was an intrusion of Dronil's data. That meant that this force was much stronger than Dronil. He looked at the leader suspiciously. Was he responsible for doing this? He asked Dronil again:

"Are you now safe?"

"I isolated this threat immediately and dealt with it. I'm now in the final process of eliminating it."

"Did you figure out what that force wanted to change about you?"

"It tried to change the sequence of your teleport Tech."

"Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by that?"

"I mean it tried to change the location of your teleportation."

Ibro felt as if someone had squeezed his heart. That was pretty dangerous. If this force tried to manipulate his teleportation place, then it would be fatal for him to move from here.

Where this force wanted him to go? Would he really return home or he would show up inside a trap? He looked at this leader with doubt. He remembered his words before. He told him he was trying to save his life. Was he referring to this situation?

"I have a question I would like to ask you, sir."

"Feel free to ask whatever you want."

"If I left here and teleported away, will I appear at my home again? Or I will appear somewhere else?"

The leader showed a strange surprise look as he was really surprised of Ibro's question. He asked trying to confirm his guess:

"Did you notice something strange about it?"

"Just answer my question please."

The leader then sighed and answered him:

"You would have teleported to another time and place. This isn't your fault. When our people escaped from our home they were chased and cursed. Anyone who tried to guide any alien here would be interrupted by some curse."

"I don't understand."

"Our leaders tried to help us here. So they sent you as reinforcements. You are like fresh blood that we needed desperately. The original task they set you for was to help us win this war.

But when they got cursed, they lost their control over this tech. so our enemies manipulated this mission. The task you got was different from what you should get.

When you finish that fake task, you will receive a fake notice of your success in finishing this quest of yours. If you accepted this and teleported from here, you would appear in an area surrounded by many stronger enemies than yours. You will die immediately."

Ibro froze from fear. That was a brutal deep complicated scheme. He muttered in disbelief:

"So that means everyone appeared here"

"Was killed by our enemies. Your only way to survival is to keep fighting here with us and trying to accomplish our leaders' main task. You must help us break this curse here and win the war."
