"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"

General Dox saw Seph raising his head and shouted anxiously, moving her limbs in an attempt to break free.

Seph ignored her and slashed horizontally.

Instantly the space shattered and the three time Keepers had their body cut into two pieces from the middle.

"Why do you kill them?" Hunter B-15 looked at Seph in horror.

"T-This..." Even Mobius had not anticipated anything like that from him.

Seph snorted and said. "Just shut up and watch closely."

The three upper bodies rolled down the stairs and stopped close to Seph's feet.

Spark!

Looking at the electric sparks coming out of the supposed dead bodies of the Time Keepers left Mobius, Hunter B-15 looked, and General Dox speechless.

"T-That's... impossible."

"T-They are robots?"

"No. This is not true. This is fake." General Dox looked horrified and spat at Seph. "You!... You must have done something, right? It must be a hallucination."

Seph glanced at her and flicked his finger.

Bang!

General Dox felt a massive force slammed into her as she lost control of her body before she exploded into pieces.

Her blood spluted like raindrops, drenching Ravonna who was floating beside her.

Mobius and Hunter B-15 were scared shirtless by his ruthless disposal and took a step back in fear.

Seph raised his hand and Ravonna floated in front of him, facing each other.

"If you don't want to end like your friends here, then open your mouth. Because if I open your brain to look for answers. You will neither be alive nor dead!"

Ravonna shuddered as she glanced at the blood on the floor and gulped down in fear.

"I... I do not know. I swear I have no idea. My job is just to maintain the order created by the Time Keepers."

"Oh really?" Seph smiled cruelly and placed his hand on her head.

"N-No, No, stay away, NOOO!... AAHHHH!!"

Ravonna screamed in pain as her head seemed to be splitting apart.

Her memories kept flashing in front of her eyes as Seph kept reading them.

No matter how good the technology used for wiping the memories was, in front of Seph, it was a cheap trick.

He finished after a few seconds and looked at Ravonna who had gone unconscious as she was unable to bear the pain. He could not help but furrow his brows after finally getting all of his answers.

"What happened?" Mobius caught the change in Seph's reaction and asked.

Seph shook his head and said to Mobius and Hunter B-15.

"I am going to the void to get something. I will be back soon. Make sure you will not let her escape in the meantime." He pointed at Ravonna and said with a solemn expression.

"Y-Yes," Mobius was quite intimidated by Seph and quickly nodded his head.

Seph cut the space in front with a simple swing of his hand before jumping into it.

"Hey, wait..." Mobius called out and tried to follow him but it was too late as the rift closed down, cutting off the route.

Hunter B-15 was speechless. It took a few seconds for her to recover. She pointed at the empty space and asked.

"Did he just..."

"Yeah. It seems our new friend is not our regular Variant. He does not even need our help at all. Haha..." Mobius smiled and shook his head. He then glanced at Ravonna Renslayer and wondered.

'Just what type of torture was that? She looks like she was in so much pain...'

"What a shit day! It seems today I have woken up on the wrong side of the bed." Hunter B-15 caressed her forehead and grumbled.

From the last hour or so, her entire life had turned upside down.

The life she had been living till now was actually a dream. A beautiful dream was woven by someone else who had actually kidnapped her, stripping her away from her real life.

It was really a lot of heavy stuff for her to take.

On the other hand, Seph appeared in a desolate land. The land was dry and filled with dust particles. A lot of junk could be seen lying around as far as one could see. It had parts of buildings and other stuff. The sky was also filled with ashes and dust particles, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

He looked around for a moment before he searched for a particular aura. After finding it a few miles away, he smiled lightly and took a step forward, covering the large distance in a second.

Looking at the group of people in the distance, Seph looked at them and found the one figure he was looking for.

"Hey, Sofia. What are you doing here? Don't you promise me a car?" Seph landed in front of them and smiled at the Car Dealership Manager.

"M-Mr. Seph?" Sofia was clearly dumbfounded by the appearance of the young man. She didn't resemble her usual self at all and even her outfit had been changed to a casual one.

But it was covered in dust and even turned in some places.

"Did those bastards also catch you and send you to this place?" Sofia walked over and asked worriedly.

Seph smiled and shook his head. "Nope, you idiot. I am here to bring you back. You cannot stay here until you have delivered the car that you promised to me."

"Ehh?" Sofia was startled by his words and sighed bitterly, thinking that he must be messing with her.

Seph caressed her cheek and wiped the dust before he said. "I will see you soon in the real world. Don't make me wait for long."

"What are you...?"

Whoosh

He didn't even let her have the chance to complete her sentence before he snapped his fingers and Sofia disappeared from the void.

"Hey, what the hell..."

"Where did she go...?"

"What did you do to her?"

The group of weird humans pointed their weapons at Seph, asking him in a threatening tone.

Seph raised an eyebrow at their actions, finding him extremely funny. He pointed his finger at them and instantly their weapons shattered into pieces with a Bang sound, catching them off guard.

"Stay here peaceful if you don't want to die before having the chance the live your life in your timeline."

What?!

The four of them were shocked by his words and looked at him to seek some answers but Seph disappeared from that place in a blink, leaving them rooted in their spots.

Seph did not have so much time to waste as he had to take care of things quickly.
