My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 583 Azzy travels to the future

The claws emerged out of nowhere pierced through the body of the Chaos Lord and dragged his soul out of the body without giving any opportunity for resistance from the target.

It was when Azzy finally saw its true form. Unlike the other souls which either take the form of a wisp or the form of the being it was previously inside, this one seemed vastly different.

It is completely black in color, neither female nor male, covered by protos energy, doesn't have eyes, nose, or mouth, and its entire body was filled with images of galaxies from head to toe. These galaxies appeared to be in motion. 

Azzy couldn't understand what they were, but he didn't have such luxury to ponder on it as the Protos being wasn't helpless like with the spirit of Demigod Amerys from the past timeline.

The protos being resisted the soul skill and got freed itself as soon as it was pulled out of its host body.

Once it was freed, it latched onto the only living thing it could find, Azzy himself.

It happened so fast that Azzy, even with his superior reflexes couldn't evade the attack and had his body invaded by the protos being. He lost his consciousness in an instant without being able to react.

The soul of the Chaos Lord started exploring Azzy's sage core and soul orb. It looked quite excited, sensing the potential of its host.

Little did it expect that as soon as it touched Azzy's soul orb, it would get sucked into Azzy's mindscape where a specter was waiting for it.

"Zi zi zzzzi zzi?" The Protos being looked warily at the Reaper as it genuinely felt threatened. However, it was a malevolent spirit without any control over its willpower.

It dashed toward the Reaper, intending to consume him. 

"Foolish creature," mumbled the Reaper as he summoned his tools. The hourglass stopped the time, followed by the swift motion of the death scythe.

However, unlike Azzy's, this one in control of the Reaper didn't erase the invader. Instead, it was cut down into two wisps of protos energy before they were sent down to the barren land below the cliff where undead creatures were lying down.

At once, commotion rose in the barren land, which is usually silent most of the time.

More than a hundred creatures rushed toward the wisps of energy as if they were looking at the tastiest food in the world. They were jumping on each other, attacking everyone around without worrying about getting injured or killed in the process. The Reaper, however, calmly stared at the scene without making any move, letting them resolve on their own.

And it was then the new boss of the region that stepped forward to take control of the situation, thereby, controlling the chaos. 

*Hisssaaaa*

The nine-headed skeleton Hydra let out a powerful hiss that echoed all over the place, even forcing the other three Arcana spirits living in the mindscape to jump up in fright for a moment.

Every beast came to still. The Hydra raised its upper body and hissed a few times in a row, bossing every skeletal creature. Under its orders, two skeletal creatures came forward. One was Aurora, the rank-6 snow wolf. Another was Taslan, the rank-8 spider.

Despite the fact that there is a rank-10 undead Fenrir skeleton, Hydra still chose its weak companions as the receivers in the end. The reason? They have their soul cores intact and can use soul skills. Hence, the protos energy is extremely helpful to them. The fact that it super evolved a while ago also pushed her to make this decision.

Little did it expect Taslan would disobey its orders at the last second. First, it quickly swallows its share of protos energy before shooting a jet of web at the skeletal snow wolf and snatching the other part too.

Hydra got enraged by its behavior. Its nine heads stretched forward to attack the skeletal spider right away but were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Followed by the incident, a deep voice was heard from above the cliff. "Let it go, Hydra."

The voice commanded so much dominance that every undead creature bent their knees and lay down on the ground with their heads raised up to look at the majestic figure standing at the edge of the cliff and watching them. 

"Good," The Reaper nodded in satisfaction and turned around to walk away from the edge of the cliff as a cocoon of energy formed over the undead spider.

A couple of hours later;

Azzy's consciousness returned and he was hella mad at himself for underestimating the Chaos Lord. At the same time, he also wondered why the Reaper didn't feed the Protos energy to his soul orb and instead, gave it away to an undead creature.

But then again, he cannot complain here anyway as this deity is the one who saved his ass in this situation and in numerous situations where his carelessness got him into trouble.

Thinking that the Reaper has his own reasoning to do it, Azzy put his doubts over the back of his head and went ahead with summoning the hourglass.

Taking a deep breath, he turned it upside down and closed his eyes, "Hidden skill: Time Travel."

The surroundings changed to that of a familiar long corridor with an infinite number of doors on either side and infinite versions of himself passing through each other like ghosts.

"Okay, let's see… year 2132." Azzy started walking in the direction of the future. This is the year the demigod Azrael visited him. Hence, Azzy thought this year would be appropriate to choose it.

Eventually, he reached the year that has more than 200 doors to choose from. Since Azzy doesn't know the month, he chose the last one. 

"4:43 p.m., December 21st, Year 2132." Azzy saw the date and proceeded to turn the door knob clockwise.

The door opened and Azzy stepped in.

His surroundings were changed to that of plain grasslands with wild cows, goats, and other animals grazing around.

"Welcome to the future," Azzy let out a pleasant smile, upon successfully arriving to the future for the first time. 

However, he didn't expect someone to be waiting for him.

"Yes, welcome to the future, Azzy," a familiar yet unfamiliar tone greeted him from behind, making him turn around to find a young man with round glasses standing there in sci-fi armor that looks quite similar to that of the soldiers from Arcturian Federation Azzy fought against.

"Gideon?" Azzy's eyes widened in surprise. He took a step back in reflex.

The man in glasses had a smile on his face as he asked, "Which time period you are from, Azzy?"

Azzy involuntarily replied, "2025."

"2025, huh?" Gideon went into a daze for a second before turning serious all of a sudden, "You are here for the secret to enter the destroyed timelines, correct?"

Azzy was once again taken aback, "how do you know?"

"How else? You are from the past, Azzy," replied Gideon of the future. His facial expression remained serious as he added, "Anyway, follow me. It isn't safe around here."

He stepped forward and touched Azzy's shoulder. In the next instant, they disappeared from the location.

Just a few seconds later, two figures in black robes and masks appeared in the place where Azzy was earlier. One of them spoke in a high-pitched female voice, "We are late. They must have gotten hold of the time breacher."

"Nothing to worry about. We will find him and those troublesome terrorists," replied the other fellow in a deep male voice. His eyes were glowing in scarlet without any visible pupils.
