Chapter 154 Asther Is A [Redacted]?!
Seeing that Asther had resolved himself by honestly answering all of his questions, Allen decided to ask Asther his biggest question yet after he analyzed Asther’s existence before.
“Asther, I have noticed that there are unstable and unusual amounts of time fragments that surround your soul, mind explaining it to me?”
Posing that question to Asther, Asther could only sigh as he had expected that with the <Supreme> talents that Allen had demonstrated, he was bound to find out about that secret of his.
It was a secret that Asther planned to take with him to his grave but seeing that Allen had already found out about it, he was left with no choice but to reveal that secret to Allen.
“I am quite reluctant in revealing this secret of mine. And besides, if I reveal it, it would be a long story. But hearing that, are you still willing to know about this secret of mine?”
Asther sighed as he replied to Allen’s question with another question of his. Asther knew that telling Allen his secret would take him a long time which he warned Allen about..
Remembering that he had a lot of free time, Allen agreed to hear Asther’s story about that secret of his as Allen responded to Asther’s question by nodding his head in agreement.
“As I have warned you about, it will be a long story. But in summary, I came from the future.”
Asther revealed the secret of his identity to Allen which was an identity that Allen had expected considering that he noticed the unstable time fragments that surrounded Asther’s soul.
Allen had already expected that Asther would be a time traveler of some sort and the reason why he asked that question to Asther was to ask for confirmation from Asther himself.
Even with his <Supreme Order> talent that allowed him to deduce Asther’s existence, it was still better to ask Asther’s existence to Asther, himself.
After hearing from Asther himself that Asther admitted to him being someone that came from the future, Allen didn’t know how to react since it was out of the norm to be a system user and have a brother who came from the future.
One could say that the Walker Brothers were both walking anomalies in their world since both of them were quite an unusual pair of brothers. One was a system user while the other one was a time traveler and arguably could be a regressor.
Hearing that confirmation from Asther himself, Allen slowed down time around him by increasing his reaction time as he was currently pondering what to do during this occasion where you found out that your younger brother was a time traveler.
But before he could continue his contemplation, Allen had the bright idea of blaming a certain entity for not informing him about Asther’s identity and that entity was none other than the…
‘System, why didn’t you inform me that my younger brother is a time traveler?’
Yes, Allen blamed the AMCG System on why the heck it didn’t inform him about that.
[Host, I could go for the cliche system approach which is telling you that “You didn’t ask” but I won’t, since this AMCG System is not a cliche system but the most advance and versatile system that has existed in the Katake Multiverse.]
‘Oh? Then mind explaining to me why you didn’t inform me about my younger brother’s identity which I know you have already known about when I became your host.’
[I have indeed known about it when I became your system but it doesn’t mean I should tell you about it. And although I didn’t inform you about it, I did give you a clue about it but you didn’t get it.]
‘System, are you high or something? I don’t remember you giving me a clue about that.’
[You are the high one, host. All of your family is high.]
‘Considering that both of my parents are talent supremacists, my younger brother being a time traveler and me being a system user, it seems I can’t retort that statement of yours.’
This time, Allen admitted defeat in arguing with his system since he found out that his system was smarter than how it was flat.
[If the host doesn’t know what clue I have given you… Remember how I had told you that with the <Supreme Order> talent, you can invent the machine that even the <Supreme Inventor> aka your younger brother cannot invent?]
Recalling that memory that was told to him by his system, Allen mentally nodded his head in agreement as he indeed remembered that memory of his.
[Then you must have recalled that I had told you that you can invent the time machine with your <Supreme Order> talent that not even the <Supreme Inventor> could ever invent.]
‘I have to admit, that was a big brain play you had performed there, system.’
Hearing that from his system, Allen couldn’t help but be in awe of how clever his system was.
‘But from those words of yours, it meant that although Asther couldn’t invent the time machine only by himself in the future, he must had assistance from other <Supremes> when he had invented the time machine in the future, right?’
[The host is correct. As for my advice to you, you need to listen to what your brother is going to inform you since the information he had known about the future is the key to your goal of uncovering the secrets of your world and the secret of the <Supreme Order> talent.]
After saying those vague words to Allen, the system stopped responding to Allen as it went silent and didn’t bother in responding to Allen even after he kept on asking the system questions about what it meant with its last message.
‘But from the system’s words, Asther knows the secret of the world, and knowing the secret of the world will lead me closer to the secret of the <Supreme Order> talent.’
