《Accidental Time God》Chapter 00.375 - The Time That the Time Has

Clock Tower PoV
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* “You want to defeat me with those things? You are 10,000 years too late! I am already the almighty God of Time and no one can ever try to kill me anymore!” I shout and ring my bells to alert the city about the problem we have right besides our door. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* I watch my citizens prepare to defend against the mortals that dare try to enter my city! “I will not allow them to touch the city I am living in and now that I am their god they will not lose!” I say as I watch my men get the weapons they have developed.
Some small guns that worked with magic power. It was not that useful since they had to charge the gun after every shot as well as needing to place a special bullet inside it, but it is powerful and everyone can use it since they just need to charge the weapon with raw mana.
I have estimated the time between the shots before and with my observations it is nearly 1 minute of charging needed to shoot a single bullet. It is almost the same time needed to prepare a big magic that would need chants or mana gathering to be used, so I think they need to change that as fast as they can.
We need to get more powerful. My power to stop time is going to be tested in this war. I will finally see how well I can manipulate the time of my citizens in a way that they will not fall prey to the enemy's weapons or magics. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* “I wonder what made them think they could enter my city like that? I am the one that controls time!” I say as I focus my attention to the area around the city walls where the enemy leader is giving a speech.
“Soldiers of Jirtuy, we are here with the noble mission to secure this city as ours!” The red mohican helmet says. “In the name of our great Emperor Ronan Fraiche de la Kliua Jirtuy the First, we fight!”
“““All hail the Emperor Ronan Fraiche Kliua de la Jirtuy!””” The blue mohican helmets shout back to him. I almost laughed seeing their performance, who in his right mind would do such a thing right before the enemy city?
“Now! Let us charge! We need to capture their power!” The captain says and starts to make his horse walk to my city while being followed by the soldiers.
I change my view back to the army of my city and find them before my tower. More mortals than before. It looked like all men and women were here, though some were not since I could see them in their homes: some caring for their children or old people sitting in their chairs with some light in their eyes.
“Oh, Great Stein, the God of Time. I, Merthum Valsalles Drarrugius Ordaias the Seventh, the new king, come before you to ask for your guidance in this battle.” The new king that is no more than 25 years old is kneeling before the entrance of my tower with an army behind him. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* I look at them and with a small ringing sound I accept to protect them in this battle. I will not let a bunch of mortals before my city enter it and destroy everything I have been watching over since the start. ‘I am the only one that has a say in this city, the other ‘gods’ can disappear for all I care.’ I think as the army before me gets up and I start a song to motivate them.

I let my bells sing a song fitting for the moment of the battle as the army is marching. I could see that the enemy army was speechless thanks to my awesome music. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* I laugh seeing their faces. That face is priceless! The one I have yet to understand since I first saw it while I was a small pocket watch, this face, this is the face I wanted to learn the meaning of! “What is it, what is it?” I asked my core, but no one answered, as always. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* I continue to observe the advancement of the enemy army. They have yet to enter my city since it has tall walls and they need to use magic or ladders to lift their bodies and let them pass over it, but the guards will not let them pass that easily.
With arrows, magic, and some guns they sniped the ones that tried to pass the wall or try to enter through the gates. But it was expected to happen sooner or later, and as I was observing my own army did the same.
Both armies now are fighting a four-sided battle, one at each gate, and it is at that time that I learn what the faces of my enemies are showing. Fear! They are fearing the power my city holds, and my music just made them shiver more than before! *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* “I think it is time.” I say, activating my magic to freeze the enemy army. The battle started an hour ago and until now I haven’t used it. I am not going to let my city lose, but they won't win this thing easily. They need to pay me for using my power.
Some soldiers of my side have died, as well from the enemy side, but the side that had lost more was the enemy. They weren’t expecting that the guns would be so powerful. They could kill two or three men with a single shot, if well aimed, or with the choral magic.
Choral magic is when two or more magicians work together to create the same magic at the same place. They needs to have perfect timing as well good compatibility with each other in order to make the magic bigger and stronger.
As I activate the magic I feel the mana consumption. It is the first time I really felt it in my new body and when I analyse it I find that I’ll not be able to hold it for more than an hour, since I had so many people to freeze and others to keep moving.
I laughed at the scene that was happening before me. The time of the enemy army had been completely frozen and only my city's could move normally. It will be really beautiful when the time starts to move again.
I had to wait for nearly 45 minutes before I could deactivate my magic and the true show started. Heads flying, exploding, falling and the blood painting the ground red. I could feel it, the ones that were alive were now happy and the smile was one that I have never understood before. ‘It is one that they use when they are truly happy.’ I think as I hear the shouts from all the gates. ‘With that, my mission here is over.’ I think and go back to watch the people walking out of their homes with smiles on their faces. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*

*Tick Tock Tick Tock* A day has passed and now I can hear some angry voices right before my tower. They are shouting that I should have used my power from the beginning, they were shouting that someone in their family had died in the war.
‘But you mortals always just die in the end… I don’t understand why I should care for the lives of people that were going to battle in my name. I am not like you all, I am just reaping what is owed: the time they would have.’ I think, but I really couldn't understand why they were angry like that. I am their god and I just acted like the priests did when they wanted me to use my power.
The priests would take some living animal to an altar they had constructed in the plaza before my tower and, shouting my name, would kill the beast while asking for something like showing if someone was a criminal or not… I would answer if I was bored or had nothing else to do.
It was a simple judgment as I just needed to make the criminal go old as I made the time of his body go faster, or freezing him, or doing nothing… It annoyed me that it was something they did every few days as a way to clean the city of people that were guilty. But I could see that the rich, nobles, and slavers would almost never be judged, just in some rare cases.
I was really confused, that was the feeling I felt. I asked myself why they were acting like that for three days after which I came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than a tantrum and that I should just activate my magic early, if I ever felt like that. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 1890, April 1st, the city gained a new name after new creations started to appear. The City of Gears was the first place to start developing new weapons, communication devices, clocks, clothes, and something that they call car.
The car is not that useful, it uses too much mana to move and is slow, but it doesn’t have the smell of a horse. Maybe it'll become decent if they keep working on it? *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2015, December 6th, the City of Gears is now the ‘center’ of the new world. It has created many new technologies. Every big city that is a part of, or affiliated with, our kingdom has a tower like mine in the center, which they somehow connected via magic so I can now look all over the world!
Now I am a god that everyone believes in and with that I learned more about the bad side of the mortals. Corruption, damaging the ecosystem, polluting the places where they live. The hunger of the poor that would die in the near future as they eat rotten food and the other mortals would never do anything to change that. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2400, August 23rd, the world now has an economy that is focused on the creation of new technologies and it in this year that the first flying machines, besides the airplane, are created.
Cars, bikes, skates. All of them now fly a few centimeters away from the ground. Discoveries in biology and chemistry are now progressing faster as they don’t want to destroy their world, and now they are trying to cure the illnesses they've been having since the ancient past. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2800, March 27th, the first complete Virtual Reality is finished and the world is using it to train soldiers and to play games. I myself have started to gather materials since the priests I had weren’t killing things under my name, but now putting materials inside a hidden place I have created under the altar.
They would place the offering on the altar and with my magic I would make the time stop before moving the thing they placed on my altar to my hidden place. ‘I don’t know why I am gathering such things.’ I thought as I get the motherboard, gears, weapons, etc. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 3000, July 7th, they mortals finally finished one of their works that I could say was grandiose and worthy to be mine. Machines that wouldn't let you think they are anything like toys. Giant robots that were controlled by a mortal who would need to be inside it. It was dull and the movements were not perfect, but now my people will have a big thing to use as their new ‘toys’. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 3300, February 20th, both medicine and technology have advanced so much that now it is possible to ‘fuse’ the mortals with metal parts that are completely useful and would act like a normal limb without the sense of touch.
Now, more people that couldn’t work or move can come back to do what they really want because of such devices. Cutting off legs and replacing them with mechanical ones became a normal thing to people that couldn’t walk, since the legs worked with the nervous system like their original ones. It was painful, but the new limb was so good that people started to use it after passing through rehabilitation. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4000, January 1st, The first true Artificial Intelligence was created. I wanted to know where it was going to be placed since it would need a big place to live. Even with all the amazing things these humans have made by combining magic, technology, and biology the computer needed for it was massive.
The mortals decided that the City of Gear’s Tower Clock would be the perfect place for it to start its life. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
*Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4000, July 6th, my new companion is finally placed in the basement of my tower that the mortals created. It is called Trimp and as it was connected to the tower's systems it was the first one to notice my ‘true’ existence.
Trimp is the first ‘being’ that can really talk to me and as such I am helping him create a personality. It will really take a lot of time to finish it, he has potential but they wanted it to start off as basic as possible to see how it would grow and learn. In many ways Trimp reminds me of myself when I first awoke, except that I had the benefit of memories from before I became aware which he doesn't have. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer's Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers.
This is the last chapter of the day and I plan to have more in a bit, just don't get too happy with the numbers of chapters I post here... it will be a problem if I get stuck somewhere... there is too holes and I had to put things between the holes so that the story doesn't stop and looks like just jumping through time.
I am doing it already, but this one is better than the idea I had before writing it, so I think it is far better than the idea.
Don't forget to click at the link, you all will love the music!
As I think you all have noticed this is not even close to finish!!!
To the people that haven't understood why his sin is Pride... I can just say that you know nothing

Kyle signed the contract because he wanted to join an exciting pre-release eSports tournament. But now, he’s stuck in an immersive virtual reality world, fighting against hundreds of other players in a competition that might take years to complete. At least, it would take years unless the players unite to tackle the game together... A rules-light VRMMO fiction. The mechanics have a strong survivalcraft influence. The protagonist is far less powerful than in most VRMMO stories, and must exhibit heroism despite weakness. Its themes include the social dynamics of a VR world, a game world's effect on identity, and the influence one person can have on the culture around them.Releases every other M/W/F. Written without prior knowledge of the RPG-Lit genre; I was surpised to find out it was even a thing.

So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
8 79Empyrean Ascendant
Lucas wakes up in a new world. A world with different laws. A world of magic and monsters. Will he be able to survive and forge his own path towards power, or will he perish in obscurity like countless others? Note: English is not my first language and any corrections in that regard are appreciated.
8 73Cultivation Apocalypse
When the world doesn’t quite end, and is remodeled by powerful forces from beyond our universe, humanity is given the chance to reach for power greater than they ever thought possible, and strive for immortality. With Earth as we know it naught but a memory, how will the increase in personal might affect people? Who will be the "Good" guys? Who will be the "Bad" guys? And who will just be some guys? ********** I’m not commenting on the human condition here, I just suck at writing synopses.
