Arthur who was sitting above others, opened his eyes to look at the doors as other members did the same. All of them were extremely powerful people, so they could easily spot the people who were waiting outside to barge in amidst their meeting.
" Someone entered in the middle of our headquarters and acting like this? Do they have some kind of death wish?"
Gilgamesh who was sitting in the corner, opened his mouth a hint of sarcasm in his tone despite leaking out a chilling aura. The council members vowed to protect the city and interfering in their meeting without invitation meant only a declaration of war to them like villains did last time.
" Maybe we should hear them out."
Michael whispered with a calm tone but he didn't hide his displeasure. Even though he was a benevolent being, he couldn't ignore the fact that someone got into their domain.
Knock*
The door opened with a slight motion as the white-haired man entered the room with a dry laugh. He looked at the council members, gulping his saliva with a nervous face while taking out paper from his pocket.
" I am here to detain the singularity- Arthur Frost for disrupting the sacred timeline and creating a dimensional hub without permission of Time Variance Authority. Please don't make it hard for me."
The room immediately fell into silence whilst the members leaked out their auras that almost shattered the entire building. Even the lowest-ranking member in the room could take out powerful individuals who could destroy cities, so Morpheus felt immense pressure.
Especially, he was in a bad situation because Eden was amidst the battle between good and bad. It was like challenging their authority to protect their realm.
" I don't know who you are and I don't know what you do but if you are thinking I am doing a crime, I believe I need to clean my name."
Arthur's finger tapped the table while he placed his chin on his hand. His sharp eyes observed every inch of Morpheus's attire, deeming whether he was lying or not.
" Believe me, I meant no harm. I know you are the guardian of this planet but I need you to accompany me to clear your name because you are a singularity. You are neither variance nor visitor, so you can clear your name."
Morpheus said with good intent, hoping to reach a consensus with the guardians and Arthur.
" Indeed, you don't seem to be lying. Fine, I will follow you to your organization and I hope we will create some sort of alliance because I believe you are an expert in time matters, right?
We are having quite a bit of a dilemma recently because of time-related problems."
Arthur took the chance to reach out his hand to Morpheus whom he believed to be high ranking individual.
A while later in TVA headquarters, Arthur was walking around the building with a clear interest in his eyes because he could tell they were separate from time and space. However, it was really difficult to tell how they managed to do that and who was keeping this city alive without being shredded by time and space.
Time and space are the fundamental elements of reality and it was extremely hard to control much less use them freely like TVA. Hence, Arthur felt greed toward their technology which could push the boundary of his world but he knew they wouldn't give this to him.
" We are here. This is the control room. There is a person who is acting as a judge here. She will ask you a few questions and talk about the alliance."
Arthur properly thanked Morpheus and handed him chocolate which was kept in his storage. Morpheus who didn't know about Edward's masterpiece, placed it in his pocket while thinking it might be a contemplantary gift.
Open*
The guards opened the door to Arthur, gesturing him to enter the room. Arthur nodded politely at their gesture, looking at the woman who was sitting on the judge's chair.
" I got a briefing from Morpheus, Mr. Frost. I heard you are a singularity and your world doesn't want to connect with parallel worlds that much due to recent nexus events that almost destroyed your world."
Ravenna asked calmly, looking at the man who singlehandedly shook the entire multiverse.
