Chapter 17 - Aeon's Friend.

The void slowly became quiet again.

Broken fragments of time floated around like dust, fading little by little. The space Aeon had created—his personal void where he was strongest—was collapsing. The two guardians lay motionless, their bodies already dissolving into nothing.

Aeon stood still, breathing heavily.

Then suddenly—

Bhram : Hey Aeon, just stop it!! You already made me show up !!

Aeon turned sharply.

Aeon : And now who are you??

A figure stood a few steps away from him.

He didn't look threatening.

No heavy aura.

No pressure on time or space.

Just a calm presence, standing naturally inside the void—as if he belonged there more than anyone else.

Bhram : It's me, Bhram.

As you think—a god or something.

But as you can see, I'm even a normal Timeasean.

Before Aeon could ask anything—

Snap.

With a simple snap of his fingers, two glowing time cores were pulled out from the guardians' chests. There was no struggle, no resistance. The guardians collapsed instantly, dead before they could react.

Aeon's eyes widened.

Aeon : How did you!!! …sir!!

Without realizing it, Aeon bowed down.

Bhram : Thanks, but first things first—

Stop calling me sir.

It's just Bhram.

And stop bowing down like that.

Aeon slowly stood up, confused.

Aeon : You seem like a god or something.

I can't even see through you.

That means you're on another level of dimensional control.

Then why don't you want me to respect you?

Instead of answering normally, Bhram sent a warm and friendly feeling directly into Aeon's mind. It felt calm. Safe.

Then he said—

Bhram : Friends??

Aeon blinked for a moment.

Aeon : You want to be friends with me?

Okay… friends!!

Alright.

Bhram : Come on. Let me show you something.

Aeon took a step forward, then suddenly froze.

Aeon : Wait—

Are you that BHRAM??

The ruler of the universe??

NO WAY!!!

Bhram sighed.

Bhram : Ahhh!!

I'm tired of hearing that.

I want to step down from all this ruler stuff.

I just want to enjoy my life as a 3D.

Aeon : Ohk… whatever.

But can I ask you one thing?

Bhram : Go on, kid.

Aeon : Why 3D?

You clearly said you want to live as a 3D.

What makes them so special???

Bhram paused and looked ahead.

The void shifted slightly, showing frozen timelines moving far away like slow rivers.

Bhram : Let's talk about that later.

First, I want to show you something.

Aeon : Ahh yes—you wanted to show me

something.

Sorry for interrupting!

But still… why me??

Why are you showing me this?

Bhram : Because you were the first one to notice something important.

You realized that guardians are weak inside voids created by a Timeasean—

Especially when that Timeasean is dominant.

Aeon nodded.

Aeon : That means you were watching me from the beginning.

I did it because I wanted to consume the guardians.

They had a lot of Supereons.

Both of them together had 26,897 Supereons.

That's a big deal for me.

Bhram : Wait!!

Aeon : Waiting!!

But what are you planning now??

Bhram : Just hold on.

Let me try something.

Bhram raised his hand and calmly pulled out a single atom from his own body. The atom glowed brightly.

He converted it into pure Supereon flow and pushed it into Aeon's body.

Aeon : Bhram—what did you—

AAAAHHH!!!

Aeon screamed.

A massive amount of energy rushed through him. His body started cracking. His time core shook violently. Space around him twisted.

That one atom contained

1,05,680 Supereons.

Aeon couldn't handle it.

His body began tearing apart—

But just before complete destruction, Bhram grabbed Aeon's crystalline time core and reversed his timeline.

Aeon was restored instantly.

He fell to the ground, breathing hard.

Bhram already knew this would happen.

Aeon's body wasn't strong enough for such raw power. Still, he wanted to try as

Aeon was special.

Bhram wanted to check whether his future predictions were right about Aeon —or if Saturn had changed something.

As Saturn was so concerned about Aeon, and making him leave the time gambling .

Aeon : Did you just try to kill me…???

Bhram : No, not at all!!

Ahh… my mistake.

I gave you raw Supereon flow straight from my body.

I should've refined it so that it could act with your body much easily and dissolve it into your very own type of supereon flow.

Aeon slowly stood up.

Aeon : But for a moment…

I felt unstoppable.

Like the strongest being ever.

Bhram : That feeling was real.

Then Bhram turned away.

Bhram : Okay. Let's keep moving.

They started walking.

The void opened up ahead, revealing a massive structure.

A huge rotating core floated in space, surrounded by glowing runes and locked timelines.

The Time Core of Mahesh.

Aeon : Why did you try to give me that power?? That another thing that I didn't get any of it.. but then to why did you try to give it to me.

And it's crazy—

Just one atom of your flesh has so much energy.

I feel lucky to be friends with the god of this universe.

Bhram : It's just…

You're unique.

Aeon : Unique and me?

Ahh—your ass!!

Bhram stopped.

Bhram : Come again?? What did you just say... Don't you know who I am..?

Aeon : I mean—

We're friends, right??

So I can talk like that?

Sorry if I crossed a line!!

Bhram smiled slightly.

Bhram : Yeah… my bad.

I forgot I asked you to be friends.

Sometimes that god mindset slips out.

Aeon : So gods can make mistakes too?

Bhram : Of course.

We're normal Timeaseans as well.

Just with higher dimensional power.

They stood before the core.

Bhram : Here it is.

The Time Core of Mahesh.
