The War That Transcends Timelines - 132 Wandering
Time: [Unknown]

POV: Kyle’s
I’ve spent the last few days wandering the road leading North from the village, no signs were present, I just continued my trek through the endless plains and forests, using the 7 TUs I gained from killing those so-called ‘Paladins’ I bought an adaptive cloak to cover me, it is able to change colour and become invisible without using any energy, while I also checked the system for a power implant, sadly I will need to spend countless TUs for additional equipment to install it, although attractive it did state it was present in the current timeline.
After spending another 5 months on the road did I finally see a sign pointing towards a city, whilst walking towards the city I passed numerous trade caravans, but when I passed a certain caravan protected by elite cultivators did I discover something, what I would call, outrageous.
Hundreds of human slaves were strawn upon carriages, bound by tens of shackles, I scanned them all with my eyes, showing their cultivation, many already reached the peak of the heaven boundary while the leader was of the Immortal stage Void boundary.
Their heads were hung low as they accepted their fate, although I wanted to act I was unable to do so, as this would put me on the radar of my enemies.
I wandered the roads towards the city, the heavy atmosphere of this world ever present, people getting abused, the weak taken by the strong, expoited, not able to take fate in their own hands. I looked back at my old world before I was transported to Germany. A world where a constant battle exists between the workers and the corporations, but that was a place both could stand on equal footing, here, however, they could not, they could only watch and see their lives get ruined.
After another 2 months did I finally reach the city, and it was massive, more than 10 times the size of New York City. I walked towards the gate, using my mask to change to a face of the Half humanoid, half lion type being. ”Halt. What is your business in the city of Vengeance?” A guard stated as he pulled me out of the queue. I just opened my scarf lightly and activated part of my armour, red lines forming on my mask, ”That is none of your business.” I answered in a raspy voice before walking away. The guard just stood there terrified, looking at my back which slowly disappeared in the crowd.
Advancing through the crowd I noticed my clothing attracted a lot of attention, I just looked at the people annoyed, soon I entered a back alley Inn to gather information, what I forgot was to deactivate my partial armour making my scarf look like it was straight from a horror movie. I sat down whilst looking over the people in the bar, my eye scanning everyone, what took me by surprise was men sitting in one of the corners which already reached the middle level of the heaven boundary, he was warily watching around him and when he saw my eyes lock upon me he instantly looked at me with a piercing glance.
I shrugged it off before asking for something to drink, not knowing what any of these drinks were I asked them to surprise me, luckily the mask can translate the language from my world easily into theirs. I peaked my ears when I heard something surprising, from 2 men whispering, ”Have you heard it yet? They found a new Holy Pope through the Crucifix, but they say he is… Human…”

I gathered the Qi through the cultivation manual while the woman instructed at me, whipping me when I did something wrong, ”Who is your lord!” The woman said to me as she whipped my back, ”The dark lord!” I recited the slogan, she nodded in satisfaction, ”We are his servants, we are to do his bidding!” She continued, ”After you are finished come to my room, I have your first mission for you.” She said as she left the training room, I just continued cultivating in peace, finding it very easy compared to my other trainee counterparts.
I stood up and walked through the dark hallways, using the tiny bits of light to navigate through them, when I finally arrived at the room, I knocked before entering, she was in her walk-in closet changing, when she walked out she wore lingerie, most of her dark blue skin was visible, I didn’t even bat an eye to it, my personality and training caused all emotions besides the urge for loyalty to remain.
”There is a target in the City of Hope, a new Priest has entered service, your job is to eliminate him and his lackeys. If so… I’ll reward you handsomely… She said flirtingly,” I need 10 High-grade magic stones for cultivation, her face turned sour as she heard this, ”That’s fine, just get on with it, don’t you know it is inappropriate for men to stand in the presence of an almost naked woman!” She shouted angrily, as her attempt to woo him failed. But what she didn’t notice was that the word loyalty kept swirling in his head, soon causing his mind to almost split due to a massive clash between two sides.

”OH HOLY LORD PRAISE US! YOU HAVE LOOKED UPON OUR POOR LAND AND GIFTED US WITH A NEW PROPHET!” A man in white robes with 1000 followers behind him chanted, ‘Where am I?’ I asked myself before screaming in pain, ”THE POPE HAS AWAKENED! HEAL HIM CHILDREN OF LIGHT!” The man shouted, after which 10 people, 5 men and 5 women, completely covered in white/golden robes with white mask started to cast something weird. The pain quickly elevated as my body started to regenerate at a visible rate.
