The Supreme Level Up System

Chapter 246 Truth



Aion had sensed that something was off… considering his worries, it felt like Sauros had experienced something like that happening before. Besides, while he was strong, most people didn't know how strong Aion was, so the whole situation smelled fishy. The fact that Sauros nervously looked away after that only confirmed his suspicions. Seris was also sweating a bit despite trying to look calm.

"It will be better if you don't learn much about certain things, at least for now," Sauros said.

"Is that so? Then our cooperation ends here," Aion said. "I thought that our goal was to make sure that others won't have the chance to travel through time and cause problems, but it is clear that you are hiding something."

"... If your goal truly is to create a place for your mother, then you truly don't need to know about this," Sauros said. "It will only make you worry endlessly about where the enemies will come from."

"You're Not the one to decide that. I am," Aion said. "Either way, if you don't want to talk, then I won't force you."

"... You are really difficult to deal with," Sauros said after a long sigh. "You already know that my family has a history or registering about a lot of things, but we also have information about a lot of people across history. The more you show, the more we will have to write about you. Few people have access to those logs, but who can say if the same thing will happen in the future?"

"... So, you believe that someone might learn about me in the future and try to interfere using the statues or something?" Aion asked.

"We can't destroy them, and we can't say what will happen in the future, so that possibility exists," Sauros said. "Something similar happened in the past, and it isn't only people of the past that come to our present, after all."

Aion already knew that much, and he considered such a possibility. Still, he didn't think that it could be that bad… he had other tricks up his sleeve, but if people in the future learn more about him, they might, for the moment to, strike using the techniques that they knew.

"How many times did that happen in the past?"

"Five times… that we know, we also have some speculations about some suspicious incidents, but they haven't been confirmed," Sauros said. "Most of the time, the individuals that pull that off trying to change the past for their own benefit. There was a case that one person even tried to send his soul to the past in order to take over the body of his younger self… by knowing the future, that person took over a certain country and tried to take over the entire world."

"That seems like something a third-rate villain would do alright," Aion said. "Speaking of which, the last few incidents in this journey, about your friends that had been captured and the incident with the generals, what are the chances of people of the future being involved in it."

"That is why we didn't want to talk about that… you will think that every single problem will be caused by those trying to mess with time," Sauros said and then sighed.

"You didn't answer my question," Aion said.

They had to take a break because another monster showed up, but Aion just cast a single extra-size Fireball to engulf the beast in flames and kill it. He wasn't playing around, so Sauros decided to spill the beans.

"Yes, there is a possibility… there are cases where people just tried to send messages to the past to change things that worked," Sauros said. "The chances that those two incidents had been caused because of something like that is pretty high."

"You made me leave my home while keeping that hidden from me…" Aion stepped forward and then glared at Sauros, but Seris stepped forward as well with her weapon in her hands. "If I wanted to kill you two, something like that wouldn't stop me."

"My apologies for keeping such things hidden from you, but that is one of the rules of the family," Sauros said. "If we spread this kind of information around, it will mess with the future, with the present, and even the past."

"I don't care about that, and you told me that there is a possibility that people might try to interfere using the logs that you have," Aion said. "So, there is a chance that you will write about my activities, like where you met me first and then after… I believe that something like this, something that knew about the logs and interfered with your job. I don't think that such enemies will target my mother now that I have the statues, but someone who wants to piss me off or lure me, might try exactly that."

"Something like time travel used for kidnapping never happened before," Sauros said.

"That doesn't mean that it can't happen…" Aion said.

Sauros couldn't deny that, so he stayed quiet. In fact, people like Artemisia, that belong to a rare bloodline, would be the perfect targets for that… even if her descendants had only half of Aion's potential for magic.

Aion's head felt like splitting, he thought that he was getting close to make sure that possible enemies won't be able to do a single thing to his mother in the present, but now he had to worry about people in the future and in the past becoming enemies as well… the idea that his mother still had to live under that kind of threat made his blood boil, and the reason for that was because Sauros family couldn't do their job properly without writing about every single thing to their next generations…

"Just do your job. Talking about this won't calm me down in any way," Aion said while massaging his forehead.

The worst part was that Aion couldn't even get that much pissed… he was doing that to save Aion from future problems, but that only made him pissed since it caused others…
