Chapter 422: Seeing through time

Traveling through different timelines is something, Adam despite having the power to do so, he cannot do it a lot since I only managed to go to 2 more worlds before he said that he needs to cooldown and have only one use left which he keeps in case of emergency.

I got to a world where there were no living beings left apart from bugs, apparently based on the footage that's left, the world went through nuclear war which, I mean, come on. They really thought that humanity and any living being can live through that and all this radiation...let's hope there are a few living in some bunker somewhere outside my current range of sight.

I'm now in this supermarket that is all a mess, cans and packages everywhere, mostly untouched but still a mess. I then flew quite a far bit, probably passed through a few countries and arrived in England, I don't know where specifically but I see a life signature with my eyes and several more quite a distance away.

I walked towards the guy who's in this orange homemade hazmat suit who is quite surprised at me walking around with no protection at all.

"Don't take off your suit, the radiation is still deadly."

"I know." he showed me this hand held device in his hand which is blinking red symbolizing that the level is quite high "It's either this machine is wrong or you're a freak."

His accent doesn't sound English. It sounded thick but not unfamiliar.

"You from New York?"

"Not a lot of people say that, they just call me American. And it can also be used as an insult." he replied "But you didn't answer my question, how are you walking around?"

"I was experimented against in this lab quite a few years ago, so I'm sort of immune to radiation and radioactive food."

"I would invite you to our bunker, but you may spread the radiation to us, I won't be taking any chances, sorry." he apologized and point his makeshift spear at me "You're not going to try to threaten me to bring you back to our home, right?"

"Why would I go to your house when I can live in a mansion up here?"

"Fair enough."

"So why are you up here?"

"I'm trying to go look for some seeds in some abandoned supermarket, I read in a book that seeds and some plants are very resilient against radiation. Our bunker would have more food and variety, know anywhere I can go find that?"

"Yeah, 5km that way, large supermarket and many other shops. Wait, you're American, in miles, it's-"

"Yeah, don't worry, I lived here for a couple of years, I know. Came here for an international studies program and now I'm stuck here not knowing whether my family survived."

"Well nice seeing you, but I gotta go."

We then bid farewell as he went to supermarket and when he's out of sight, I flew to Egypt, with Kronos' powers, I should have access to time traveling but I need to see through timelines in order to do that. Horus' eyes can't do that, God can, but I sort of don't want to get that power from him.

I flew around searching for a temple of Thoth where I can sense his energy signatures. He's the Egyptian god of wisdom and one of the gods of the moon. But to some records, he's the god of reckoning and created the calendar, even credited with the celestial powers regulating over time.

The power of the sun of my right eye is much stronger than my left, so with the powers of Thoth, I should balance it out and make myself stronger. I got to one of his sculptures where people would make some offerings.

"Thoth, descent in front of me or I'll destroy your temple with the power of the sun, I'll give you 5 seconds." I then conjured up a small dense sun within the pal of my hand "5 4 3 2-"

"Alright alright." Thoth then descended

He's about 190 cm, have the head of an Ibis, brown skin and he wears a black suit that have a symbol of a crescent moon on the back. He's holding a thick black book in his hand

"What do you want Horus..." he realized "You're not Horus, who are you and why do I sense the powers of his eyes on you?"

"Well, give me the power to see through time so that I can time travel, as for how I acquire Horus' eyes, metaphorically of course, I'm his student. I'm from a different timeline."

"I understand, since our Horus does not take students."

"He only taught me out of necessity, I won't explain further. I also want your powers a bit."

"You mean that like Ra bestowing his powers, you want me to tell you my secret name?"

"Personally, I just want the powers of the moon and the power to see through timeline, so we don't have to go to the extend of giving me your secret name since I can beat you in a fight."

"I can sense...the blessing of the Styx river on you, it's super effective against the Greek, but not on us. I mean you'll still be invulnerable, but us Egyptians will a slightly better chance, which is still bad since I'm not really a fighter."

"In my timeline, it's called the curse of Styx, since many people who have it die young. And only one person can have it, after Achilles, they don't want a swarm of invulnerable people so they alter it."

"We did the same, but in ours, we call it a blessing in hopes that those who have it will dispel it someday and live their life without bloodshed."

"So you think you can give me the power to see through time, I don't want to see the future, I just want to see through timelines."

"You will have to give me something of equivalent exchange. I'll be honest, I'm interested in you, you seem to be possessing the power similar to that of a god despite only being a celestial."

"I'm a reincarnate, most of the celestials you hire have lesser potential than me."

"Even better. 1 month, spend one month under me and I'll tell you my secret name."
