Although the frequency of spatial rifts appearing has greatly decreased, they are still appearing continuously. Incidents of monsters injuring people haven't stopped, and she has also heard of some Awakeners who suddenly gained power using it recklessly and committing crimes.
"No, no, no, these matters can be set aside. There are others to handle them." Luke pressed his hand down. The expression on his face suddenly became strange: "Your most important task now is to meet someone."
"Someone who claims to be a Reincarnator."
...
"Reincarnator? What a joke."
Coming out of the Director's office, Rose was still somewhat in disbelief.
This was too absurd.
Before the National awakening (Awakening for all), she would definitely have thought the other person was crazy, but now, it was different.
No one dared to say that a Reincarnator wouldn't appear.
Of course, the higher-ups would not easily believe others. A crazy person's crazy words would not be passed up. The fact that the higher-ups initially believed him indicates that the other party provided some corroborating evidence.
"When the Trial Instance had not been fully cleared and everyone knew nothing about the Advancement Instance, he provided information about the Instance's mechanisms and content."
"This doesn't prove he is a Reincarnator. It's also possible that his Talent is related to precognition, or it's a time-based Talent."
Rose's task was to meet this person who claimed to be a Reincarnator and determine whether his claims were true or false.
As for why she was specifically assigned...
Rose looked at her Talent.
[Talent: Absolute Decree (SS-grade)]
[Effect 1: Attribute Enhancement (SS-grade, various attributes are enhanced to a certain extent)]
[Effect 2: Golden Rule (You can establish temporary laws within a certain range, forcing targets to comply.)]
This is an extremely powerful Talent, equivalent to a youthful version of The law of heaven (speaking with heavenly authority). It is very useful whether used for combat or support.
For example, Rose can establish laws that prohibit people from concealing information, attacking, and so on.
"I hope it's useful."
...
Public Security Bureau.
Rose met the target, a Gloomy Man.
"I know you, Rose, the General Captain of the New Sea City Supernatural Management Bureau Enforcement Squad, respectfully known as the Queen of Law, possessing the SS-grade Talent, Absolute Decree." Before Rose could speak, the Gloomy Man spoke first, and his words greatly shocked Rose Yu.
"Unfortunately, you died in the Dark Turmoil a year later."
"Dying young, ah. If you were alive, you would definitely be my comrade in the future."
The Gloomy Man sighed, his face full of regret.
"What?" Rose stood frozen there. Anyone who suddenly learned that they would die a year later would probably not be able to remain calm.
She wanted to ask what the Dark Turmoil was, but she forcibly restrained herself, took a deep look at the Gloomy Man, and said:
"Decree: This place cannot be spied upon."
A mysterious power suddenly descended, transforming the room they were in into a secret place that outsiders could not spy upon. Even if there were cameras, recording pens, or anything else inside, they would immediately become ineffective.
"Decree: You must not lie."
Another mysterious power descended and fell upon the Gloomy Man.
The existence of a Reincarnator is highly classified, so Rose's actions were not against regulations.
After establishing two laws in a row, Rose was somewhat tired, especially the second one, which consumed an astonishing amount of energy.
As someone who was still Zero-grade, her ability to use her Talent, as well as the strength and duration of the laws, were quite limited.
"Your Talent has limited effect on me." The Gloomy Man shook his head: "But if it can make you feel at ease, feel free to use it."
"You have SSS-Level Talent?" Rose stared intently at the Gloomy Man.
"If not for SSS-Level Talent, how could I be qualified to Reincarnate and return to the past." The Gloomy Man said with a bitter smile: "I know you have many questions and will also doubt my motives, but please believe that I am sincerely cooperating with the authorities."
"To prove my sincerity, I will display my Talent panel."
Hearing this, Rose was stunned.
The attribute panel, especially one's Talent, is a person's greatest secret.
Even when the authorities compile Talent statistics, they don't force people to display their Talent panels, because that would be a great offense to the world, and if not handled well, it could cause major chaos.
If the Gloomy Man was really willing to display his Talent.
Without a doubt, his sincerity was complete.
A light screen visible to outsiders appeared in front of the Gloomy Man.
[Talent: Time Travel (SSS-grade)]
[Effect One: Attribute Enhancement (SSS-grade, attributes receive a certain enhancement)]
[Effect Two: Time Reversal (When you die, time will flow back to a safe point in time. The greater the crisis, the longer the time reversal.)]
[Effect Three: Beyond Time (Your true body exists outside of time. All damage, buffs, and debuffs targeting you will be reduced.)]
Rose's gaze fell upon the Gloomy Man's Talent panel, unable to look away.
"As expected of an SSS-Level Talent."
She couldn't help but exclaim, "I thought my Talent was strong enough, but I didn't expect yours to be even more heaven-defying."
Exactly, with time reversing upon death, who could possibly kill him?
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. The number of time reversals is limited within a certain period, especially at Zero Order."
The Gloomy Man said in a deep voice, "I have already proven my sincerity. What do you say?"
"I cannot deny your sincerity, but your identity as a 'Reborn' person... did your future self encounter an unimaginable great crisis, causing time to flow back to the present?"
Rose speculated.
"There is also an upper limit to the maximum time reversal.
What allowed me to be reborn was the fourth effect that appeared when my Talent Ascended at 6th-Order, Time Travel."
Rose made a mental note: "I understand.
"So, Lucian, what is your purpose in being reborn?"
Lucian was precisely the Gloomy Man's real name.
"For what?"
Lucian chuckled, "Don't you all know the first thing I did after being reborn?"
"But..." Rose frowned, "According to our investigation, the person named Noah is a sophomore at South River University."
"He excels academically and morally, has no criminal record, and when he first Awakened, he killed three otherworldly monsters, protecting the lives of many people. As of now, there is no indication that he might commit evil in the future."
"If you formed a deep-seated hatred with him in the future, I hope you can understand that the current him has done nothing yet."
