God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 197 Clauses That Binds Fate And Powers That Can Change It

[Mikael's POV]

…

…

She told me a few things about her life. It wasn't really an interesting story. Just how she was captured as soon as she stepped out of her realm and then was traded from one superpower to another before finally getting trapped within the clutches of the God of the Undead.

She said that it had been millennia that she had been working, hopping from one organization to another, always trying to figure out a way to free herself from their clutches. Though a certain contract that has chained her for eternity is something that she fails to get out of.

"Guess you had your fair share of problems, huh? Hmmm, I am a bit interested in the contract that you are bound with," I spoke as I looked at her and her eyes widened before a glint of fear appeared in her eyes.

Then she took out the contract in front of me. It was like a cube, which slowly opened up and a purple hologram appeared in front of me.

[By the boundation of the Universe(Contract of the Seven Gods)]

[Clause 1: The being, Angela, would follow all the commands of her master.

Clause 2: Once dead, the being, Angela, will be reincarnated after another 1000 years.

Clause3: If the master of the being, Angela, is dead after she is reborn, a random master will be chosen for her, else she would follow the same master.

Clause 4: The being, Angela, will never rise to God-Hood.

Clause 5: The master of the being, Angela, can transfer his or her authority of Angela to any other person he desires but once done he cannot take the authority back ever again, no matter what the circumstances.

Clause 6: If the master of the being, Angela, is dead, the next owner of the being, Angela, will be the person who killed the previous master. If death occurs naturally, Angela's master will change to the nearest being in the vicinity.

Clause 7: When Angela dies, all her power will be sent to her master, who can use it however he or she wants and after reincarnation, Angela will gain her base power back and need to start from scratch again.

Clause 8: Angela needs to be close to her master once every century.

Clause 9: If clause 8 is not fulfilled, Angela will slowly lose all her powers and succumb to death before reincarnating again.

Clause 10: Any relations Angela has, other than her master, will develop a curse that will suck the power of the other beings towards Angela's master.

Clause 11: If the being, Angela, falls in love with any other being and engages in intercourse with that being, that being will die the most gruesome death ever, with the sole exception of her master.

Clause 12: At the end of Judgement Day, Angela will regress back into the past from the very beginning and will be given a single chance to change her fate.

Current Master: General Belial]

"No, I haven't seen the judgment day yet," she said as she looked at me and I turned to her. Well, I won't lie that I wasn't curious about Clause 12, but it seems like many people have asked her about that already.

Though there was one more thing that made me curious about something.

"Wasn't your master… God of Undead?" I asked with a curious mind and she looked at me for a few seconds before she shook her head,"he was, but then he got bored with me and transferred his authority over me to Belial."

'Seems interesting enough,' I thought as I looked at her and asked,"Killing you won't really change anything, you are going to reincarnate, anyway. Is this why you were so carefree about dying?"

She nodded as she spoke,"yeah. Kind of. Now that you know about it, what will you do?"

"I think I am going to take over the authority over you," I spoke as I looked at her and she chuckled before speaking,"I don't know if you are an idiot who is overestimating his powers, or really someone who can back up what he says but, Belial is a God, and a really strong one at that. Are you sure you can defeat him?"

I looked at her face and it didn't seem like she was lying here. Seems like… I was underestimating the situation a bit here. I observed her for a few moments before pondering something,

'Can I change a few clauses and see if it works?' I thought as I looked at her.

[The Defier(Unique)]

[Allows the user to reject or defy anything in existence. As long as the user is in contact with the person/thing/being, he or she can defy it. Not limited to death and life, but the more the strings of fates and destiny are involved, the heavier the impact will be on the user.

Cooldown: Depends upon the usage of the Skill]

'Aether did warn me about not using this skill unless I am strong enough to take a God or two but… it seems like I might end up fighting a God soon anyway,' I thought as I decided to take another risk here.

"Just wait a second," I spoke before

[The Defier!]

I used this ability and then the entire area changed completely… what seemed like a peaceful world, turned as dark as the space itself. I could neither feel anything, nor see, nor sense anything.

I thought of using the ability.

[God Power: Reverse Time]

[Using the Crona Energy of the Universe itself, the user can reverse time to a previous state. Note that the user can only reverse time up to where he had the ability to manipulate time.

Requirements: The user needs to be completely free of any emotional disturbance of any sorts.

Cost: 10 Golden Crona per second]

But before I could even proceed, my senses returned as a familiar voice rang in my ears.

"Hey! Where did you come from?" spoke a melodious voice of a young man, who was standing there holding my hand as we floated on the platform.

"Uh… I…" Before I could even speak, that guy, Aether, looked at me carefully and spoke,

"Aren't you an interesting one? From the future?"

And in front of him was another being, made of complete darkness that sent chills down my spine, my entire being felt like freezing, as if I would die if I just kept looking at it. It didn't just scare me, but it was beyond that… I felt like I was looking at hell itself.

-Tap!

Aether tapped my forehead as a calm sensation rang through my brain and I calmed down before looking at that being again. This time, even if everything was looking the same as before, it felt different. It wasn't as scary as before.

"Please let Angela live. Aether. I beg you. Please let my daughter live!" begged the darkness as he bent in front of Aether, cried as it wriggled there, I saw the being that could make the entire universe shudder, begging on its feet, in front of a human who was casually smiling at me.
