《Time Travel System》9. Smile shots

*Huff* *Huff*
I'm looking at the headless dead body, a white man wearing black armor, in front of me, his neck covered by blood from my slash before. It’s a clean cut and precise, leaving no possibility that he can be survived in this conditions.
*Ding*
A sound of system heard by me followed a series notification in my eyes. I will check those later, my wounds are quite severe and it’s better to heal those fast. But before that, I’m moving towards the dead body and searching everything I can use. The adult said you must respect the dead, but I think it’s okay to not respect a man who wants to kill me before.
I tried to take off this armor, but it’s no avail. It stuck in this man body, so I give up to removing the clothes and take his gun. It’s a plain black gun, symmetrical with some beauty aesthetic. I’m checking the gun inch by inch but have no idea how this gun even work. There no hole to put bullets here except in its muzzle, and more importantly the gun doesn’t have even a trigger.
“System, can you tell me what is this gun?”
[Yes, I can]
“…”
“So, tell me”
[Oh sorry, you never asked me to explain that]
“…,” facepalmed, I then said, “You never get punched before, didn’t you”
[Like you can do that]
I want to smack him but I really don’t have the way, “Just, explain it to me”
[Searching…]
[Summarizing based on your level…]
[Dragnipur’s Gun: Gun forged by Draconas race. Every wound enemy got from the bullet will cloud enemy judgment and radiating danger energy to the whole universe]
“Wait, what the fuck is this. This will make me hunted by the whole universe. Lucky for me, all my wounds are from sword slash” I can’t help but cursed looking at diabolical descriptions.
“How to use it anyway?” I ask
[It used soul identification, so it useless for you Nathan except to throw around]
I frowning and helplessly throw the gun aside, it still better use stone than this gun as a weapon.
*Huff*
“How about this sword,” I’m pointing to the sword which still stuck in my body and ask him again.
[Searching…]
[Summarizing based on your level…]
[Dragnipur’s Sword: Sword forged by Draconas race. Every wound enemy got from the sword will lower enemy concentration and radiating danger energy to the whole universe]
“*%&^*%, it has the same effect,”
[Look like, it’s your fate to get hunted by Aliens]
“With my power, it’s impossible to fight aliens. Hell, I don’t even have the confidence in fighting earth armies right now”
[Well, that’s true. With your level of power, it is a suicide]

It’s like a hopeless situation, but I still have one way out, my time travel skill. From the system explanation, time element users are very rare, and more than half universe don’t even have time element user. So, the probability of another time element user exist in this universe is nearly none, and it looks like second-time element user just got killed by me. It will be a miracle if there a third-time element user come here, statistically wise.
The only trouble left for me is those aliens who will try to kill me, I’m sure some of them have more advanced civilization or have different biology that makes them stronger than human.
But, it is fine, every time I got surrounded, I can always fleeing to the past leaving the present. I will try to strengthen my body and get a stronger weapon in each destination, sooner or later I can surpass them and try to conquer them one by one.
“Oh yeah, System, I forgot to check armor status,” even if I can’t use it, it’s always better to know what is this to prepare better if by any chance I fighting with the same thing.
[Searching…]
[Summarizing based on your level…]
[Duban Armor: Created based on Chulainn legend. Impenetrable by any skill or weapon below Epic. Passively emit an aura that lower enemy chance to escape using time-based abilities]
[Isn’t this specifically created to facing you, Nathan]
Looking at the description, I can’t help to agree with what system said but somehow I have an uneasiness in my mind, after silent for a moment I ask the system, “Hey can you confirm something system, is this Duban Armor easy to mass created”
[Searching…]
[Yes, it is relatively easy, how did you know]
“Well, something doesn’t make sense for me. I just think the effect lower my chance isn’t useful if my chance to escape is very high in the first place, it just lowers my chance not prevent my escape. The reason someone using it, either because it’s hard to make a better armor or using it as a group and stacking this debuff to lower my chance near zero”
[Maybe you just overthinking, if he has group why would he attack you alone]
“Well, that’s true. Look like I’m just overthinking” I laugh my silliness, pick clean clothes and ready to go to the hospital.
Little did I know, what people said ‘you can’t be too careful’ is true.

Inside a sphere cage, a yellow dragon bleeding profusely from at least ten holes on his body caused by one man attacks, all of them destroy his vital organs. His breaths are erratic, it is weird when you think how someone, no, a dragon can breathe in space but what happening here is a reality. A dragon in deep space has difficulty to breathe.

Facing him, a man nimbly avoiding his attack without breaking a sweat, his moves are natural like a fish swimming in the sea. The dragon knows that man in front of him isn’t serious yet, but it is as expected, he can’t bring out his true power after passing through the gate earlier, his energy is yet stable and he won’t risk it, patiently wait for chances.
“Juexi, won’t you surrender already. I know that your perception now is already blurry.”
“Why, would I? I never fight you one by one before you know,” he said, determination fill his eyes to never yield.
“That’s your problem Juexi, you very persistent man. A smart man will know when to fight and when to surrender, and from my point of view, there no way you can become a winner in this fight.”
“Win or not, it isn’t for you decide. Sometimes a man must fight even if he will lose badly.”
“Hmm, can’t argue with that,” he said, in between attacks he finds an opening and immediately attack and creating a new hole in Juexi body, “But still, your decision to fight me alone is a stupid one”
“Who…” Juexi catching his breaths for a moment and says, “said, I’m alone”
“What did you …” he’s focusing his sense to look around and find many things out of the place, he didn’t realize before not because he was careless. He always observing his surrounding in the battle, but someone still manages to sneak around him, this person stealth ability is better than himself.
“Sorry for waiting,” someone appearing next to Juexi he put his hand and said, “Let’s go”
“Not at all, Xin,” Juexi answer simply, try hiding his erratic breath. Less than a blink of an eye they disappeared from that spot, teleported to outside of the cage.
“Damn, it can’t be good” he’s preparing to teleport away too but,
“Too late,” with a smile, Kinana press a red button and in that moment series of a giant explosion happening.
===
Looking down I can see those crazy people who want to kill me still don’t know that I’m here. I take a deep breath and start thinking about what happened. Why there many people with those same armors and where they come from.
“Dammit system, you said time element is very rare, why there are many of them here”
[Seriously, I don’t know why too]
I’m observing whatever can be used below, and I realized all of them come from the same spot. “System can you observing what happened with that spot”
[Searching…]
{Too much random raw data, can’t be processed at your current level, you must be more specific]
I thought for a moment and say “Can you search those people origin, Wait, that’s still too wide isn’t it”
[Yes]
“Can you determine if they from the same timeline as us,” I rephrase my question
[You mean, like parallel reality]
“Yeah something like that,” I give my affirmation
[Wait for a moment]
[Choosing target…]
[Identifying targets soul and element…]
[Crosschecking with current reality…]
[Don’t match]
Looking at series of notifications on my eyes, my lips curled upwards.
===
A consecutive explosion from all of the bomb built before happening inside the cage and it will continue until at least six hours. It won’t kill Nathan, but give them enough time to do their plan. Looking at the marvelous blazing scene all of them let out a sigh of relief.
“Good job, Xin,” Kinana said with his smile.
Hearing Kinana praises, he nodded. He doesn’t really like to talk and have a thin presence, but his skill especially stealth is the real deal. His ability as an assassin feared by enemies and recognized as the true rival by Nathan’s right hand.
“What now?” Juexi said while healing himself.
“We wait, but you still must in guard.”
Juexi changing again become a humanoid and sit in lotus position, meditating to recover his lost energy. On the other hand, Kinana and the others standing on guard and put their eyes on the cage.
A silent deep space illuminated by blazing fire of sphere cage, from afar it looks like another sun appears in the solar system.
However, this tranquil situation didn’t last long.
Exactly twenty minutes after the first explosion, the cage is destroyed with brute force and the explosions are slowly stopping, the bombs capable to destroy the universe cease just like that.
Inside of the cage, Nathan can be seen walking towards them, his skin has been melted and most ribcage penetrated his body. His appearance is unrecognizable. However, slowly, his body is reformed and regenerating, recovering most of his body.
“Shit, that’s hurts,” Nathan curse while walking.
“Impossible,” Kinana in denial, unbelieving when looking at Nathan’s power.
“I’m stronger than the last time we met, Kinana,” he says with a smile after his appearance recovered.
Kinana’s face pale, knowing what this situation signified. She can see Nathan's soul, he isn’t much older from the last time they met, however, Nathan’s strength increased outside rational limit. From this miscalculation of the situation she understands, his power at least three times stronger than the last time they met.
Nathan’s lips curled upwards. A cold, menacing smile visible on his face, making most of them shudder.
