Chapter 14

Miho watched as the man in brown cloak slowly walked over.

(Fae, any ideas?)(Miho)

[Wait a minute let me check the database. From the energy signature, it is definitely a beyond grade A. He is a character that's suppose to show up on the galaxy level storylines. Why the Fuck is he here?! And targeting you?!! This is already causing a rift in the storyline!!!]

(How do I know?! What I want to know is what's his fucking identity?!?!?!)(Miho)

[Oh no, could it be? Shit! Things seem bad Miho. That mysterious figure in the future will be known as one of the most powerful beyond grade As, he also successfully entered the top 10 list of most deadly supers. Known for never losing a fight and also killing another beyond grade A super in just a second by just staring at them. He becomes so dangerous that among the three universal civilizations no one civilization could monopolize his power alone, so he doesn't serve any of the three and tends to roam around the galaxy not caring whatever is being done around him, only few superlatives could be said to be on par with him, but those are just in theories and guesses. The point is that he isn't suppose to be here, now, on this planet, at this timeline.]

(What's his superlative power?)

[No one knows. But if I am to take a wild guess, it has something to do with time manipulation. As that is the only thing that could explain his presence here.]

Miho asked already frowning in disgust as she realized, a man, more powerful than her, is approaching her with unknown intentions.

(Is a beyond grade A killing another beyond grade A really that abnormal in the galaxy?)

[Yes. Even among beyond grade As, killing another beyond grade A is almost an impossible task. To be promoted from calamity grade (grade A) to beyond grade A, the method is not yet known but the few that do successfully cross this threshold will emerge as a completely new race. But it is next to impossible as no new beyond grade A has been recorded over the recent years in galactic history.]

(How do I escape from such a monster?)

[Don't panic, just do as I say.]

…

With their plan thought out, Miho watched as he walked closer, step by step. The hairs on her arms standing on their ends as he got closer. She felt her heartbeat accelerated as she resisted the overwhelming urge to flee. She felt like an insect staring off against a behemoth. When the man was about two feet away, a voice over the megaphone disrupted the tense air.

{THE CROMWELL AUCTION BEGINS IN FIVE MINUTES!!!}

Immediately after the announcement sounded, the crowd began to be herded towards a specific direction. In the midst of the tormoil, Miho seemed to have lost sight of the cloaked figure and the oppressing feeling seemed to have been lifted off her. After briefly sighing with relief, Miho quickly escaped through the crowd and headed towards wherever the crowd of people headed to.

"Damn it! What's she doing here?" A voice sounded deep in an alleyway.

On a closed dumpster in an alleyway, a figure could be seen sitting on its lid. From the tone of the voice, it wasn't hard to deduce that the owner of the voice is a male.

"Why did it have to be Empress Miho?!" He roared before slamming his fist into the wall next to him.

Yes, it was the same man in brown cloak that Miho had an encounter with.

"Wait! This could be an unexpected gain!! If I kill her now there won't be any annoyance from that bitch of an Empress in the future." He soliloquized as he kept pacing back and forth no longer able to seat still.

After pacing for a while, he suddenly halted and brought up a bracelet on his wrist in front of him before imputing his fingerprint. A transparent HUD popped up before his eyes showing a chart where a red line was shown rising rapidly of the horizontal axis and many other red lines branching off it all heading towards another horizontal line not so far above.

"Of course, she had to cause chaos in this timeline too! As expected of the Empress of hearts. I better not unnecessarily intervene or knowing her, it would lead to a whole barrage of adverse effects." He said to himself before sighing. "After all, she isn't my main purpose coming here this time."

After saying this, a portal opened up behind him and he walked in while spotting a huge grin. "After I'm done, I might as well just grab a fox pet while I'm at it and train her to fight against herself as my minion in the future. Is there any better revenge than that? I can already imagine your surprised expression Empress of hearts. Ahahahahahahaha!!!"

And with that he disappeared into the portal as it fizzled out.
