Master of Time

I check up on Antigone when I am finally home.

My daughter is sleeping soundly in her little cradle in her room, completely unaware of anything that had happened throughout the night.

Antigone was asleep when I went to have a late dinner in a restaurant with Allison, who had waited for me all night because I did promise her that I would join her for dinner.

I joined Allison in her apartment after our dinner for some intimacy. Allison was also sleeping soundly and very satisfyingly when I left. I am also very satisfied and still horny as hell.

I did drop by Oxford Hotel and satisfy Sandra Bullock too – because why not?

I had time to spare, and she is a beautiful woman.

With my power, my body is always ready to make and receive love.

Unfortunately, I couldn't have sex with the them both simultaneously to save time. It will be very hot too, but I don't think either of them are open to threesome or more.

Sandra did ask me if I was fucking my lawyer (Allison), so I think she is one-man one-relationship type.

That might be a problem in the future since I am more of an open-type relationship. I will have plenty of woman whom I will have sexual relationship with.

Getting stuck to one woman for the rest of my life just isn't for me, especially now that I know I am an Aspect.

Aspect is more powerful than Gods or Goddesses since Terra didn't seem to bat an eye when she just snatches Elune from the Goddess of the Moon to be my servant, in mind, body and soul, which is very cool.

Elune is basically mine for all times, since the soul is eternal – probably.

From what Elune has described to me, that Moon Goddess is very powerful, but Terra could probably bitch-slap that Goddess into non-existence.

Terra is literally Chaos itself, the beginning of everything.

Actually, Terra is the Master of Chaos, which is even higher if you think about it.

Chaos seems to be someone or something else. She did mention that I am not exactly Time itself. I am a Master of it – with a capital M.

What does Master really mean?

Regardless, this just gives me an idea of how powerful I once was. Even Gods and Goddesses are below me. I think only the Primordial are a problem, but the Aspects have a verbal agreement with them for the sake of not destroying the whole multiverse.

Our conflicts can unravel the whole multiverse?

How powerful we must be for that to happen?

So, I guess I should only look out for spawns or champions of Primordial. But even then, those guys or girls – not being sexists – couldn't kill me outright. Terra has said so.

One of the Primordial must have break the rule for my current predicament.

I wonder which one.

Eh? I don't even know any of their names or how many they are.

Terra didn't mention any specifically. She simply refers to them all as the Primordial.

The Primordial obviously isn't one entity. I am very sure of this since I have saw them in the beginning, when time has started. Their spirits are immense, crushing down upon me.

This also explains why I am not actually Time itself.

Time didn't exist when I become self-aware. It is right after Terra did, and it appears that the Primordial has already existed before Time even begin.

I suppose I will call that era Timeless – since Time isn't born yet, in a sense.

I do wonder who Time is.

It can't be my daughter because how would that work logically?

Antigone was still asleep when I went to conduct a search for Stephanie and the other four children with the local authorities.

For a challenge, the Hydra agents – who are also mingled with the local police – did not tell me where the black site is located.

I have to figure it out all by myself without resorting to Shield or Hydra, so it is like a treasure hunt.

I had fun, so it was something.

With micro surveillance cameras all over the tunnel, I know exactly what happened within.

It is to make sure that Stephanie and her four former bullies wouldn't get themselves severely hurt in the process. I am not looking to killing them. I only need to scare them a little.

Despite their young age, I think those girls are quite brave.

They did cry a lot though, so I have to cut the psychological torture abruptly.

I didn't use any of the other rooms along the hallways even though the men have prepared them for me so meticulously, but I suppose having a murdering holographic ghost chasing them might be a little bit too much.

They might need a psychologist help if that happen – well more sessions. They will have to attend at least a couple sessions to make sure there are no lingering effects in their young mind.

It is also interesting to know that Mrs. Connors is a slut.

Mr. Connors a family man, who is working long and hard hours to provide enough for his family, yet his wife backstabs him.

I think I should do something about that, if not for the man, then it is for Stephanie. Living in such an environment is bad for anyone.

This is probably why mum moves out with dad the moment she is able to.

Speaking of my would-be dad, I have my men looking it into.

Hydra are very good at their job, finding where my father currently is.

He isn't in New York. He will move here when he becomes a high-school senior.

It will be a few years away when my mum and dad first meet and then fall in love, but they might not be together now since my mother won't become a loner anymore.

It is one of the main reasons why my dad talked to her in the first place.

Hardship does make a person and sharing a hardship will form a stronger bond than friendship.

I am sure that those girls and my mother will become best of friends from now on and well into their adulthoods, and they will look back at this childhood experience and laugh about it.

Once I finish checking up on Antigone, I head back to my office.

The holographic console springs into life when I am in the room.

More reports appear on the display for me to review personally. There are always new reports for me to review and sometimes approve.

Going through them all does take a lot of my time, relatively speaking of course.

I read all the reports then jump back in time to merge with my past-self.

It is necessary to review all the reports posted by members of Hydra and Shield.

The last time I just let everyone uses their own judgement, it basically screws up the galaxy.

Wars are everywhere in the galaxy, allowing intergalactic aliens to invade, killing trillions upon trillions – countless habitable worlds are destroyed outright.

There are some alien races evolving on their own home world in the Milky Way galaxy, but those aliens are not as advanced as humanity when I lead humans to the stars with all the awesome advance techs at my disposal.

Those native-galactic alien races and their civilizations are either destroyed or becoming enslaved by humanity under the guises of becoming a member of the Galactic Empire.

Honestly, the whole xenophobic nature of humanity is kind of scary.

I might have something to do with that mindset due to the rapid introductions of new things.

When too many things are introduced at the same time, people won't have time to adjust.

They will just alienate everything all together because it is easier. That is human nature.

Forcing people to accept things does not go well even if those things are good for them.

Only when the people accept the changes themselves, do the changes become universal and then can last forever.

This is why I need to create a lot of spokesperson, celebrities, stars and idols. When their beloved idols accept the changes, they will also accept like a bunch of sheep. No one wants to be left out, even those loners.

Dominating all of the entertainment sector will give me a godlike brainwashing tool.

It won't be like actual brainwashing since everyone will believe that they themselves made the choices I want them to make. They will have the illusion of freedom.

Is it evil? Who cares! Most people don't even know what the fuck they want, and if there is a chance to backstab their fellow man to get ahead, they will more than likely do it.

It is very annoying, but it is their nature. Even in Hydra, this is noted. The only reason they don't act on their impulses because I am watching.

I am always watching…

This won't be a long-term solution though. I am not some kind of overseers.

But it is what I can go on for now. I will find a better solution once I did some more social experiments.

Or checking how those other alternative realties manage to do it. Even the former Nazi Germany world does not last more than 25th century when I look into the future. But since it is not the prime universe, I don't feel like I should be responsible for them.

Hydra tells me many of the temporal rifts lead to similar modern world as the prime universes. But a few does lead to a medieval one.

Every world beyond the temporal rift is explored by an cloaked team from S.W.O.R.D or S.P.E.A.R.

One temporal rift in particular leads to a fantasy one since several trolls got minced by hail of lasers and bullets. Those trolls manage to create a fireball out of their hand, so it could only mean one thing – Magic.

It is in Thailand – so I guess I will pay a visit to Thailand soon.

Before that, I should return to Elune's world.

I did go there in the afternoon for a couple of minutes. It is just to make sure I can return home like Elune has assured me. I did freeze the prime universe before I did just in case.

I wouldn't want to be missing in action for many years. That will mess a lot of things up.

"Elune Whisperwind."

The woman appears in my room from the newly formed portal. She is as beautiful as ever. And despite the primitive nature of her home world, she is in no way primitive.

"I want to see more of your world, Elune."

"As you wish, Master."

Elune responses with a bow. She returns to her home world before a magical portal form for me right in my office.

I am being reverse-summoned.
