Chapter 725 - End of Baroque Empire 1 (1/2)

Rudolf lost his left arm, but he managed to throw himself into the time travel device.

He laughed at the sight of entering the abyss, which had no ground nor end.

“Kuek! I won! I won!”

And now he had the chance to turn back everything.

No divided empire and not losing his family.

Enemies who drove Rudolf into the corner would have their throats slashed without even being given the reason for their death.

“Haha! I’ll see you Luke de Rakan! And Arsene! I’ll remember every little humiliation that I faced because of you… Uh, Ugh!”

Suddenly, the flow of the abyss accelerated. Rudolf couldn’t stand the storm-like vortex that flew close to him.

While his mind was turning hazy, his body fell from dimension to dimension and onto the marble square in the outer space where countless stars shimmered.

Thud!

“Kuek, this is…?”

Rudolf’s eyes, which was looking at the scene, seemed shocked.

He saw the same scene and surroundings somewhere. He found a strange man standing right in front of him and asked, “Who the hell are you? And tell me how to get back in time!”

At Rudolf’s question, the wizard who had a gold-threaded embroidered robe and golden staff in his hand smiled.

“This is the dimensional gap. A place where time doesn’t mean much.”

“Wh-what was that?”

“Rather than that, this is the second time we meet. You are as great as the first time I met you. The children I was watching seemed to have not stopped you…”

“What the hell are you blabbering about?! A dimensional gap?! So this is not the past?”

Rudolf seemed very annoyed, but the wizard didn’t seem to care and talked very slowly.

“Right, this isn’t the world of the past that you are talking about. However, depending on what I decide, you might or might not achieve what you want.”

Rudolf’s eyes narrowed at the man’s strange answer.

“Your decision? Do I need to get your permission? Who the hell are you?”

“Huhu, me? I am the Watcher.”

“Watcher?”

Rudolf looked at the wizard who was calling himself the Watcher.

For some reason, he didn’t even feel like the man in front of him could be lying.

‘Then, is this not the Imperial Palace from 10 years back? And if he is the Watcher…’

Reminiscent of a scene from a book that documented the ancient myths and legends he read in the Imperial Palace, he seemed shocked.

“El Kassel! You are El Kassel!”

Somehow, from the beginning, he had a feeling that the man in front of him was mysterious.

But for the man to be a God?! That too the giver?!

Rudolf clenched his teeth and raised his right arm.

His broken arm was still in pain as he was only given emergency treatment, but it was possible for him to move it.

When a shining Hyper Aura came out from his hand then went to his sword, he pointed his sword at El Kassel’s neck.

“Hu… Are you doing this even after knowing who I am?”

“Shut up! I don’t care if you are a demon or the giver of a wish! I was…”

“I was abandoned by both god and the devil, right?”

When the man spoke out what Rudolf was trying to say casually, Rudolf was taken aback.

Seeing that, El Kassel continued, “No need to be so surprised. I told you. You had already visited me once. And I said something very similar back then too.”

“Then… What happened? Didn’t you allow me then?”

Rudolf asked with a little hope.

“Of course not. You cannot go against the time with all the karma you have accumulated.”

At the end of El Kassel’s words, numerous window-sized screens appeared around Rudolf, showing all the scenes of what happened in his life.

They were the scene of him exploiting the people because of war. The slaughter of innocent people because of the plague in the capital.

Even his attempt to summon the demons by offering innocent maids as sacrifices to save his own children who were dying from the curse, and the sight of digging the tombs of his predecessor emperors and even the secret poison of the former emperor in Rudolf’s youth.

El Kassel spoke to Rudolf, who was still looking at all the evil things he had done.

“How is it? Even if you think about it, you should know that such actions can’t be allowed, right?”

“Huh! I had no intention of getting your permission in the first place.”

Rudolf yelled and gave El Kassel a cold gaze.

“It doesn’t matter if you give me permission! I had always taken what I wanted with my own hands! This will also be the same!”

“Huh! so you are going to kill me?”

“If that means that I will get the power of time!”

The same moment his words fell, Rudolf swung his sword at El Kassel.

Well, he did try to swing it.

His body stopped the moment he was about to swing his sword.

“Kuek! Wh-what is this…?”

“Tch! You really are a pathetic man.”

Clicking his tongue at Rudolf, El Kassel saw that Rudolf was acting in the same manner as he did in the past and waved his palm.

Thud!

An intangible shock struck Rudolf.

The pain from the shock shook his entire body. It felt like all the bones in his body were shattering at once, something Rudolf had never experienced.
