"After all, you have been kind to me."

Zero recalled what happened when he came here and transformed into a golden form for the first time.

At that time, Cero completed the trial given by the watcher and returned to the whirlpool. The watcher said to Cero:

"--Since you have this power, I need your help with something."

"Need my help...?"

"I hope you can help me get my 'body' back."

According to the Time Watcher's explanation, not long ago (but judging from Zero's timeline, it was in the very distant future) a person caused a huge explosion that could wipe out time and space, and the vortex of time was also strongly impacted.

Fortunately, the collapse of the universe stopped midway. However, the impact caused the body and spirit of the Time Watcher to be separated. His body was blown to an unknown era, and there is no trace of it.

"I see. But why are you looking for me? You are so powerful, you must have something to do, right?"

"Things are not that simple. The body without spirit is just a container. If there is no movement in it, even I will have difficulty searching for it. However, my body will be attracted to something."

"Are you talking about...my golden power?...It turns out that the silver object is your body!"

"Exactly. The power of gold that can control time has something in common with this place. Judging from your appearance now, you must have seen it before."

"It's not just as simple as seeing it before... Now I finally understand everything..."

The future self who saved himself from the silver "object" will be the self who will continue to practice in the future and be able to freely control the power of gold.

"Your power can control the time around you. As long as you practice diligently, you should be able to suppress my body. When you are ready, I will send you to that 'time'."

"You are responsible for moving. No matter what, I have to learn to control this golden power. I will help you do this."

-﹣After that, Zero went through various trials and finally learned to control the power of gold. After saving his past self, he returned to the vortex of time.

"...I'm causing trouble for you."

Zero was recalling what had happened, and the Time Watcher thanked him in a rare tone of admiration.

"...You're welcome. Thanks to your help, I can control this power. Finally, I also want to thank you."

"You are right, now is the end. Let us protect each other's world!"

"Ah, I understand. Let's all work hard!'

"...That's right."

For the first time, Zero felt a smile-like emotion from the time guardian's language. His vision was immediately occupied by a dazzling light. After the light disappeared, Zero returned to his own universe.

He clenched and unclenched his fist several times to confirm the feeling of his body. Finally, he raised his head and stared at a point in the distance.

"...Okay, let's go back."

After speaking softly, Zero turned into a shooting star and flew straight towards where his friends were.

Let's turn back time and look at Zero in the past. After hearing the "whirlpool of time" from his future self, he announced to his friends at the Maiti base that he was going to embark on a journey to find this place.

"The vortex of time...a place I have never heard of...

"But this is the only clue now? How can we find the answer if we don't go there?"

"I mean, Zero doesn't even know how to get to that place now..."

Mirror Knight and Red Lotus Flame argued as usual.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is also very worried about you. Don't force yourself when something happens!"

"You don't have to worry about things here. Our brothers are here."

The two Zhan brothers expressed concern for Cerro.

Seeing that everyone was as usual, Zero smiled and replied.

"Okay, then I'm leaving!"

After Zero said goodbye loudly, the other four people nodded to him and watched him leave.
Chapter completed!
