BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1057: Mockery
With a wave of his hand, he summoned all the guests who were present inside the palace. Even those farthest from the Time Lord appeared before him as if time itself had reversed, their bodies moving back to their initial locations in the grand hall.
Despite bringing everyone back, the Time Lord noticed that Karyk was missing. In fact, a few other guests were also unaccounted for.
As the celebration seemed to have ended, quite a few guests had already departed. Even if all of them had left, the Time Lord wouldn\'t have minded in the least. The only problem was that among those who left, Karyk was also included.
The grand decorations, which were moments ago part of a night of celebration, now felt like a mockery of his situation. Karyk, the very person he had been trying to locate, had walked right out, and the Time Lord had allowed it.
Usually calm, the Time Lord now appeared frustrated for the first time. He couldn\'t understand why Karyk had left. Was it because he realized they were after him? If that was the case, why had he come here in the first place?
As he surveyed the remaining guests, their faces were a mix of confusion and relief. Some were even happy that the Time Lord had returned, feeling glad they hadn\'t left like those who thought the host was not helping them return.
They now had another opportunity to show the Time Lord that they weren\'t careless like the guests who had left. They were more loyal to the Time Lord, even willing to wait for him to return even when he had allowed them to leave.
The Time Lord didn\'t care about the selfish reasons of the Guests who had left behind. He was still feeling frustrated at his absolute failure.
If the mistake of the Angels was big, then his mistake was even more embarrassing as he was the person involved in it directly.
If the guests were still on the planet, he could have reversed the time of the entire planet, bringing them back. However, his control over time didn\'t extend to those beyond his reach.
It was no different than trying to reverse the time of the entire universe, which was just as dangerous as Karyk attempting to devour the entire universe.
Karyk had only devoured a smaller branched universe and even then, he had almost destroyed himself.
Meanwhile, this universe was even stronger with many incredibly strong existences. Even the Time Lord couldn\'t manipulate the entire universe with his abilities, especially since he didn\'t even know which part of the Universe Karyk had gone to.
Did he leave with one of the guests or did he enter the River of Time and Space again?
He only had one method to find out. He had to view the past of this place to find out the direction Karyk had taken.
"The celebration is over. Leave now!" He told the remaining guests who looked at him absolutely stunned, especially since his voice sounded extremely cold now.
The Guests couldn\'t understand why the Time Lord had suddenly changed so much. Was he upset because so many guests had left? Or did it have something to do with his sudden departure before?
In any case, they couldn\'t do much about it.
"In that case, we will take our leave."
The guests respectfully bid their farewell as they left the mansion. Those who came in a Ship returned to their ships. Meanwhile those who came by ripping apart the space, returned through their own means.
Even when the Guests left, they felt as if they were constantly being watched. They didn\'t know why they had such a feeling but it clearly didn\'t originate from the Time Lord alone.
A few of them subconsciously looked in the distant sky, as if trying to peer into outer space, only to stop as they felt as if their heads were about to explode.
"Hmph, a mere child tried to see through my shroud? He is lucky that I didn\'t just kill him!" the Angel in the distant sky expressed using his thoughts that were only heard by other beings on his level.
"He made all the Guests leave, but I can\'t sense the child of the abyss here. Could it be that something had gone wrong?" The Space Lord asked out loud.
"Hmph, why aren\'t you calling him a fool like you did with me? Or do you not have the courage?"
The Angel asked with a mocking gaze, enjoying lighting a fire between the Space Lord and Time Lord that were extremely close with each other.
He was mocked a lot because his subordinates had made a mistake. Now that the Time Lord made a bigger mistake, he didn\'t hesitate in highlighting the hypocrisy of the Space Lord.
The Space Lord simply narrowed his eyes but he didn\'t say anything. His expressions remained dark. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
....
When all the Guests had left, the planet was left void with no other existence except the Time Lord staying within.
The Time Lord flew into outer space, informing the others about what had happened. He also told them that he was going to find Karyk.
In the absence of any life forms of the planet to make things harder, he used his abilities on the entire planet, watching everything that happened from the moment he had first left the Banquet
In the vision, he saw Karyk talking to a woman while appreciating the painting on the wall.
"Hmph, he is appreciating that painting? Why do I find that insulting?" The other Lords also shared vision with the Time Lord, seeing everything. With this, they were able to confirm that the person in question was actually here.
After the Time Lord had left, Karyk appeared to grow closer to that woman. In the end, it was the two who left together.
"I see. So that\'s where he went."
