"Don't even think about it,

" the shadow replied.

"Why?

" Ryder asked.

"Shouldn't this power be something we use? We can see the future? And who knows, we might find something useful.

"

"Nope. The future is supposed to be uncertain. Let it stay as such,

" the shadow answered.

"If you see the future, that would seal it. Good or bad, it would be final. There would be no way to avoid it in that case,

" the shadow replied.

"That's why I say. Let it stay as it is. Don't try to see it.

"

"Sigh, so that's what you're concerned about? That's true as well,

" Ryder nodded.

"Exactly. It's like seeing death. If you see your future and know when and how you're to die, it'll be a fate worse than living in uncertainty,

" the shadow further said.

"I understand. You don't need to clarify. I won't use that ability.

" Ryder nodded.

"Ahh, there it is! I see now!

"

"Your partners did come inside the Tomb! I can see him!

" he added.

"Don't look in his direction. He might be able to sense you,

" the shadow reminded Ryder, forcing him to stop using his vision to see inside the tomb.

Instead, Ryder shifted his see-through gaze in another direction.

"Huh? Why are there so many people in the garden? Hmm? Alice is there too? And so is Shu? What are they all doing there?

"

"Ah, I remember it now! That earthquake! If it wasn't contained inside the tomb, then it could mean the entire city felt it. No wonder everyone is outside their rooms.

"

As Ryder managed to guess why everyone was outside, he also realized that he was in a mess. If there was an earthquake, then the others probably tried to get him before leaving. He was certain that Alice and Shu checked his room before leaving.

It was clear that they knew he wasn't inside his room in the middle of the night. Now he needed to explain to them where he was in the middle of the night.

He decided to go to that place however stopped before using his Teleportation. He suddenly remembered that the other Origin God was inside the tomb, checking what had happened. There was a good chance that he was able to sense special distortion.

Since he knew his own powers, he also knew that if he were in the place of that God, he wouldn't realize if someone used the spatial powers.

Instead of flying or teleporting outside, he ran towards the gate. Pushing the door open, he left.

After taking the stairs, he soon reached the ground floor and left the hotel before running towards the garden where everyone had gathered.

After a long running session, he reached the garden. Even though he had run for quite some distance, he didn't feel tired at all. It was as if he had only walked a few steps.

From the huge crowd, he easily found Alice and Shu, who were standing in the front.

"There you are! And here I was, looking for you everywhere!

" Ryder exclaimed as he stopped before Alice.

"You know how worried I was for you?

"

"You were worried for me?

" Alice asked, rolling her eyes.

"I should be the one asking you that question! During the earthquake, we went to your room to take you. But you weren't even there!

"

"I know I wasn't there. I woke up from sleep in the middle of the night, and I was feeling a bit stiff. So I went to take a walk outside and to stretch a little. That's when the Earthquake came. I was so worried for you,

" Ryder explained.

"But by the time I went back, the hotel was empty. I searched the entire hotel,

" he added.

"Let alone the hotel; I searched the entire city. It's only now that I found you!

"

"You went for a walk in the middle of the night?

" Shu asked.

"Whatever. It's fine as long as you're fine. Anyway, did you know that the earthquake didn't just come to Egypt, but it came to all the countries. It was as if the entire Earth was shaking.

"The entire world?

" Ryder exclaimed in surprise. Even he hadn't expected that. It was beyond his expectation.

"There must have been massive damage all around the world?

" Ryder asked.

"That's true. I doubt we can even count the damage at this time. The monetary damages are still fine, but too many lives are also lost in this. Entire buildings came crashing down, killing the people inside them,

" Shu explained.

"Two buildings of mine also came crashing down. It's a huge disaster which will take a long time to recover from.

"

"I also have a bad news for you,

" he added.

"What bad news?

" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Your company building also came crashing down. It was already very old, so it couldn't resist for long,

" Shu replied.

"How many people died inside?

" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Twenty people who were working late,

" Shu answered.

Ryder rubbed his forehead, looking down.

"Do you regret entering the tomb now?

" The shadow asked Ryder.

"If you hadn't entered that place, I wouldn't be free, and this disaster wouldn't have occurred.

"

'It's not your fault,' Ryder answered.

"Whose fault is it if not ours?

" The shadow asked.

'It's no one's fault.' Ryder replied.

"Are you alright?

" Shu asked as he placed his hand on Ryder's fallen shoulders.

"I know it's hard, but we can do nothing about it. We aren't gods. All we can do is make sure that the memories of the deceased live on.

"

"We can't do anything... We aren't gods indeed,

" Ryder muttered, rubbing his chin.

"Don't even think about it. If you reverse the time of the entire Earth, you would have saved them, but the outcome would be much worse! You'll destroy the natural balance,

" the shadow reminded Ryder.

"And when you go to correct the blunders you'll inevitably create for reversible the time of the earth; you'll create even more. It's an unending cycle. The only thing you'll do is make the numbers of dead increase more and more,

" he continued, warning Ryder against using his power for this situation.

Ryder sighed as he nodded. 'I know. I wasn't thinking about doing it. I was just considering the feasibility of it, and I know it's useless. So don't worry.'

He glanced at Shu as he continued.

"Even if we were gods, we wouldn't have been able to change anything.

"

"Can you arrange a flight back? I think it's time we go back,

" He continued.

"I'll see what I can do,

" Shu affirmed.
