"Something feels off..."
Alion flew right beside Gabriel. His expressions were slightly different as if he could feel that something was wrong. It was just a subconscious feeling.
Even though Gabriel didn't respond, even he could feel something was wrong.
He could feel subtle traces of hostility that were being directed toward him, even when he was far away from any city. This was only possible when the people who felt hostility toward him were too many.
What was even more strange was that he should feel the aura around him becoming somewhat unstable. As the Chains of the World were still keeping this world sealed to some extent, he was more sensitive toward even the most minute of changes in the elemental aura around him!
The Elemental Aura was very chaotic and most of it was unusual for the time being, thanks to this chaos.
"Not many people could achieve something like this," he muttered as if talking to himself.
As far as he knew, there were very few people who could do this. Thanks to his Shackles, he didn't believe that the Overlord or Generals from the Upper Realm came here.
Even the old gods of this World couldn't enter this World directly unless they wanted to suffer a Backlash. As for the Holy Lords, they weren't capable of something like that. That left only one possibility...
"It seems all the rats are coming out one after another."
His flying speed increased even more as he understood that things weren't going to be as simple as he expected. Since such a massive change had happened, that meant the other side already knew his identity and his disguise as the Holy Lord of Light.
In that case, it meant they had already prepared for everything, including sealing the Arecia Kingdom where his Castle of Death was.
With only two weeks left before his army awakened, things went south. However, Gabriel didn't appear worried. It was as if even if the sky came crashing down, it wasn't enough for him to even flinch!
"Could it be the Temple of Time?" Alion asked, as if understanding the meaning behind Gabriel's words. "Those old monsters are coming out?"
Unlike the previous gods who left this world, unable to return thanks to the Worldly Shackles, the Temple of Time had never left! They had always been here. For the last hundreds of years, they just didn't show themselves.
Since they had always been here, that meant the Worldly Shackles couldn't stop them from appearing, including the old overlord of the Temple of Time.
In fact, even Gabriel didn't know just how old the Overlord of Temple of Time was exactly. The person wasn't like them who gained an element when many civilizations died in this world thanks to war.
Instead, his strength wasn't his own! His strength came from a special gem that granted him many abilities, including abilities which allowed him to always stay young, or to manipulate the flow of time to a small extent!
Moreover, even though the person only used external elements to manipulate time, that didn't change the fact that he was very strong! Unlike Gods, he didn't have an element of his own. He wasn't like Gabriel who owned a Supreme Element.
Many people thought that the Overlord of the Temple of Time had the supreme Element of Time which was in the same league as the Element of Death, Element of Life and Element of Space! However only Gabriel knew the truth that he wasn't special at all!
If anything, the overlord of Temple of Time was more like Lambard, who was just a mortal but used external help to project an image of the supreme being.
"Temple of Time?" Jia exclaimed, slightly surprised. Ever since the World was sealed by Gabriel, she hadn't heard any news about the Temple of Time.
In fact, even in the Upper World, no one knew about the Temple of Time. However, the ones who went to the Upper World from this world knew that the Temple of Time was strong enough to be considered a top force even in the Upper Realm!
Even in the Upper Realm, there were only three people according to her who could wipe the Temple of Time! One was the Monarch of the Upper Realm. As for the other two, they were the two Generals who worked right under the Monarch of the Upper Realm!
That was enough to show just how strong the Temple of Time was. According to Jia, even if the Goddess of Light came down from the Upper Realm, she wouldn't have been confident enough to face the Temple of Time.
What also made her intrigued was Gabriel. Even after knowing the enemy, he didn't show a single trace of concern.
She couldn't help but wonder just why the Temple of Time and Karyk were enemies.
Initially, the two had nothing to do with each other. However, one day a sudden news came that Karyk stole something from the Temple of Time. Ever since then, Karyk and the Temple of Time had been at throats of each other!
Unfortunately, even with their influence, the Temple of Time couldn't do much to Karyk. At the same time, Karyk also couldn't destroy the Temple of Time.
She really wanted to ask Gabriel just what he stole from the Temple of Time to make those bastards go so crazy. However, she didn't have enough courage. She had heard that knowing too many secrets could be dangerous as well, especially when it was a secret between two overlords.
"Do you really think the Master of the Temple of Time personally came this time?" Alion asked, trying to assess the threat level.
"It doesn't feel like that. If I'm not wrong, he should've sent his second in command. With how cautious he is, he wouldn't personally come until everything was ready for his arrival," Gabriel answered, shaking his head lightly.
That kind of personality really didn't suit a person who was known to be so strong. However, that's exactly the person that the Master of the Temple of Time was. It was as if he was always worried about hidden traps, especially when it came to Karyk!
Many people from the Temple had died in Karyk's hands a thousand years ago after all!
"Should we stay put for two weeks then?"
Alion appeared as if he was thinking to himself, but Jia knew he was talking to Gabriel.
"After two weeks, your army will be unsealed. At that time, the Temple of Time will have to be careful as well! Your army isn't called Unrivaled for no reason after all," he added.
"It took a lot of time and effort to create that army after all." Gabriel couldn't help but think back to the past.
Every single person in his army was handpicked by him personally. As for the Undeads who could satisfy the selection criteria of someone like him, they definitely couldn't be weak!
