Chapter 1112 1112: New Prominence
Could he really raise his voice over this? If he tried to defend his descendant, then it would be no different than accepting that they were in on it. In that case, they might also be destroyed, right here and right now.
Even though he was a patriarch of the Herriet Family, the guard from the Time Lord's family that came here was stronger than him. They could easily wipe out their entire clan.
He could only swallow the shame and embarrassment as he shook his head lightly.
"We have no issues. If that bastard dared to scheme against anyone related to the Ancient Lord, then he deserves nothing but death!" the Herriet Family leader said, to the disbelief of his daughter, who still couldn't believe that her son had returned in a coffin.
While she was still in disbelief, the Herriet Family patriarch turned around.
Right before everyone, he slapped his own daughter. "Is that the kind of son you gave birth to?!"
"Take her away! I will decide her punishment later!" he told the Herriet Family guards, who dragged the woman away as she tried to resist and free herself.
Even the Herriet Family Head didn't show any guilt towards his daughter, who was being dragged away from the supposed coffin of her own son. He did that to protect his own family, as well as the life of his daughter.
"This bastard dared to do something like this. It's unforgivable! I refuse to even let their corpse be buried here after the kind of crimes they have committed."
The old man didn't even check the coffins to see that the body of their descendant wasn't inside any of them.
To prove his innocence before the Time Lord's guards, he waved his hands and burned all the coffins, and the bodies within them, into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
The guards didn't say anything. They only watched the coffins burn until nothing was left behind. They turned around and started walking away.
They didn't enter the battleship of the Herriet Family. Instead, they signalled towards the sky. And a battleship that was many times larger than the Herriet Family battleship descended.
The Herriet Family watched the grand ship that could destroy their entire planet in a single strike. Even if all their battleships attacked the Time Lord's battleship, it still couldn't leave a small scratch on it.
This was the Grand Battleship, of which only a few existed in this universe, all with the ancient families or prominent families that stood above the rest.
The Herriet Family Patriarch felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the ship. He was sure that the ship was brought here to destroy them if he had shown any signs of sympathy to the traitors.
The guards returned to the grand ship, and left the world where the Herriet Family resided. And only after they left, the Herriet Family leader dropped to his knees, his heart beating so fast that it was almost on the verge of jumping out of his chest.
Absolute silence reigned across the entire place. No one dared to even breathe loudly.
The silence was broken after a long time when the son of the Herriet Family Patriarch approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Father."
He helped his father up and led him back. But this display of the Time Lord's familia had already left a deep impression in their hearts.
They now knew that the Time Lord wasn't alone anymore. He had a descendant, one who seemed to have returned from the battlefield of death itself.
The news started spreading like wildfire across the galaxy. Almost all the major families received the news that the Time Lord had a son, a son who had returned from the battlefield of death.
Even the Drike Family, which had sent Karyk to the battlefield of death, received the news about the return of the Time Lord's son. The Emperor of the universe was also left surprised, hearing it.
The Time Lord was a very calm person, who didn't do anything drastic unless absolutely necessary for him. That's why, even though the Time Lord's forces were one of the most supreme forces, they were always under the radar with many not even knowing about them.
It was the first time that the time lord's forces had left their domain, and displayed how brutal they could be. It was something that was taken as a signal by the major families, that the era was changing.
The Son of the Time Lord was the only other person who could command that army, and he had already displayed that he wasn't going to shy away from using them against people.
Within the next few days, the son of Time Lord became a hot topic across the entire universe. Almost all major families were trying to find out as much about him, especially about his abilities and his personality.
The only problem was that there was no information. They had only heard a few vague things from the people that had returned from the battlefield of death in the past about a person named Chronos that might be the son of Time Lord.
Unfortunately, even those people didn't know much about Chronos or the type of person he was since they had never really seen him personally in the battlefield.
He was always roaming across the inner domain of the Aetherian Realm. The only thing that was verified by everyone, was that the person was extremely strong, and possibly the person that had lived the longest inside the Battlefield of Death, completely different from the others.
While Karyk's new name was echoing across the galaxies, he was staying inside Chronos' room, merging with all the remnant memories of the man that he had devoured.
He knew that he was caught by the Drike Family Lord in the past because his disguise wasn't perfect. But this time, he didn't just take a disguise. Instead, he completely assimilated with Chronos, transforming into him while erasing his consciousness.
After a little over a week, he had finally completed the assimilation. He had even finished reading the memories, including the one about the origin of Aether.
On the tenth day, he slowly opened his eyes, and left the room for the first time.
