Me, Hydra

And ignoring the ancient one's doubts, Hydra gazed and instantly invaded the eye of the Agmoto before her.

After a moment of silence, a smile rose to the corner of Hydra's lips.

"Prepare a room for me, I think a small stay for a few days...shouldn't be in the way, right?"

"...Naturally, it would be an honor."

Volume 2: Extra - 16 - Ancient One - Conversation

Unfathomable, inexplicable.

Hydra's forehead was covered with droplets of sweat as she felt the power in the eyes of the Agmoto.

Compared to knowledge like space, time was more complicated than Hydra could have imagined.

While space only required knowledge of spatial constants and coordinates to control space, time was more of a misty feeling of uncertainty.

Time was more of a misty feeling.

A 10,000 year old monster who has been practicing against a mortal who has been practicing for decades, unless that mortal is the protagonist, no matter how much you think about it, it's impossible to be a match for the old monster. It's like technology, I'm decades ahead of you in terms of technological development, and beating you is like playing.

Everything in the world has been built up over time.

Ancient trees grew for tens and even hundreds of years to get this gnarled look, and Newton's knowledge is a glow on the shoulders of the giants who have built up before him.

And the notation of time is, in the end, all defined by man himself, a day and night for a day? No, for an eldritch species like Hydra, a day or night was actually a nap. For some eldritch species, it was often decades of sleep, and each race of each race had different ways of keeping track of time, and Hydra alone knew no less than ten of them. If it wasn't for the memories of their past lives playing tricks on them....

For the knowledge of time, Hydra is infinitely close to zero. Because Hydra has to reanalyze even the basic units of time....

Breathing a sigh of relief, Hydra returned the Eye of Argo Moto to the side of the pillar.

"How well has Mr. Hydra mastered it?"

At the words, Hydra shook her head.

"Not to be outdone by time, it's even harder to make a time control than it is to master a space control. And trying to make a twisted time node is oh hundreds of times harder than making a twisted space node..."

At the words, the ancient First Mage nodded.

"If you don't mind, would Mr. Hydra talk to me a bit about you?"

"Sure. Consider it payment for my stay here."

As she said that, Hydra followed the ancient one's footsteps to a living room.

The Xu in the small tripod was burning with unknown spices, and the quaint living room wasn't going to have some priests mages coming in and out of it.

These weren't the waving wine sacks out there, but nonetheless, they would still bow respectfully when they saw the Ancient One's mages.

Sitting on the futon, Hydra looked at the Ancient One in front of her with an indifferent face.

"If there is anything you wish to ask, just say it, and I will answer whatever is within the allowed range."

Upon hearing this, Ancient One nodded, then asked.

"So may I ask...where exactly is Mr. Hydra from? I understand that Mr. Hydra has just arrived on this planet this month, right?"

Raising an eyebrow, Hydra asked with small interest.

"How did you know? If I remember correctly, I didn't tell you about it, did I?"

Nodding, Kuichi quietly replied.

"It was S.H.I.E.L.D. that spoke to us. S.H.I.E.L.D. protects the surface side of this world from erosion by other forces, while we, the Mage lineage, are the defenders against the erosion of the dark dimensional lord, Domam. Simply put, S.H.I.E.L.D. protects the surface side of this world from destruction, while we, on the other hand, guard the inside side of this world from erosion. For that reason, there will be some back and forth between us."

At the words, Hydra nodded thoughtfully.

"Now that you've said all that, I'm not hiding anything from you. I'm from another universe. From a world that is even more distant, beyond the borders of the stars."

"Other worlds?"

Nodding, Hydra continued.

"It is other worlds, not other planets or galaxies. The whole world is a bunch of grapes, and the fruit locked in the vine is one world after another. And my world is the seed of the grape. Don't worry about the invasion of other worlds, the walls between worlds are more incredible than you can imagine. Even I am nothing more than a projection of my own body."

"..." after a moment of silence, a bitter smile rose on Venerable Ancient One's quietly beautiful face, "A projection...? It's hard to imagine how powerful Mr. Hydra's true nature is."

Shrugging his shoulders, Hydra didn't care about the ancient First Mage's surprise.

"Don't be presumptuous, every world has its own uniqueness. In my world, there is no hint of time. And in your world..."

Bringing the Eye of Agotamot through the space system.

"And in yours, the distorted nodes of time can even condense into entities to become tools for people. Though this warped time is unimaginable to my world."

As she spoke, Hydra placed the Eye of Agmoto back on the original pillar.

"Speaking of which..." after a moment of silence, Hydra refocused her gaze on the ancient one in front of her, "When I was parsing the Eye of Argo Moto, I seemed to see a world of scenery that was opposed to this world. What was that about?"

Upon hearing this, Gouichi nodded, then summoned a spatial door to take Hydra inside.

It was generally no different, but relatively speaking, this world was less popular than the original one....

"This is scenic space, which is opposed to the real world and at the same time absolutely independent. Therefore, what happens in the Scenic Space cannot affect the present world."

Upon hearing that, Hydra trailed off.

"The inability to affect the present world is because there is not enough power, and each world is interfering with each other. There is no such thing as an absolutely independent space, each node is connected to each other to form the Grapevine, independent? It doesn't exist. Unless this mirror world has been detached from the grape. But a detached grape, a world without nourishment will soon devolve~"

Hearing Hydra's words, Ancient One tilted his head suspiciously, then sighed long and helplessly. Smiling bitterly, he said, "Perhaps, as Hydra-san said, my knowledge has limited my vision... it sounds really pathetic~"

As he said that, Ancient One spilled out a smile and couldn't see the slightest bit of frustration on his face.

This made Hydra a bit interested.

As soon as she returned to the real world, before she could say anything, Hei chastity burst through the door.

"Yo~ I didn't expect you to be here, it's just as well, teach me how to use this broken ring!"

As she said that, Black Chastity waved the golden, wrench-like hanging ring that was to be in the palm of her hand."

For Black Chastity, the ability to master space, i.e. to go wherever she wanted, was a great temptation!
