Chapter 241 - The Past Of Chrono
"Haaa!"
Alfonso woke up grasping for air as he touched his heart.
"What- *Haa* the *Haa*, what- what just happen…"
Alfonso looked at his surroundings, he was back in his room, the mountain of corpses, the empty throne, everything was gone.
"Was that a dream?" Though Alfonso.
He stood up and went to a nearby mirror, when he looked his reflection, he was stupefied.
"My… my hair is complete black…" Though Alfonso.
As he said, his hair has finally turned complete black, however, that wasn't the only surprise….
"The cane..." Alfonso something strange from the cane.
[Cane of Chrono (80% of his original power recovered)]
Inside of Alfonso head, the voice of the system reveled what was bothering Alfonso.
"The power of time coming from the cane is stronger than ever… but why?"
Alfonso looked himself from some time before feeling a strange sensation coming from his chest.
"The collar that gave me Gaia… is… green?"
The collar, which was golden and brown before, has changed its color to a dark green, moreover…
"I have been ingulfed with the power of time" Though Alfonso.
"The power of time inside of you is more powerful than you think"
"Who!?"
A voice came to Alfonso's mind.
"It's me" Said the voice.
"Are you… Gaia?" Though Alfonso.
"That's right, Alfonso Lockheart…"
"Then, the thing I saw before…"
"I wasn't a dream; you almost were devoured by the power of time" Answered Gaia.
"But how…"
"It's maybe time for you to learn a bit more about Chrono and why he was so powerful" Said Gaia.
In an instant, everything turned dark.
"What the- Ugh!"
Alfonso saw a blindness light coming to him.
"At the very beginning"
Alfonso could hear the voice of Gaia in his head, when he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
"The space!?"
"In the beginning, my son and husband Uranus, become the only light on this universe alongside me"
"We decided to give life to the universe and created the everything that you see around you"
Alfonso looked at the sides, he looked at the planets, the starts, the sun…
"Everything in the cosmos… was created by you two?"
"Exactly, our powers were infinity, people used to call us, the primordials" Said Gaia.
The scenario suddenly changed; Alfonso was standing in a piece of land looking at a huge shadow that was as huge as a mountain looking at him.
"I was too prideful at that moment and didn't though of the consequences that my actions could unleash" Said Gaia with a sound of sadness.
"I wanted revenge… my mind had nothing else in mind besides it, that's why, I instigated my sons to get revenge for me" Said Gaia.
"At that time, the only one willing to give me a hand was Chrono" Said Gaia.
Besides Alfonso a handsome young man with long-dark hair and beautiful green eyes appeared.
"Chrono accepted my offer; however, I didn't know that he had a hidden agenda"
Once more the image changed…
"Chrono guided his brothers to the battle, castrating Uranus"
"I thought that was the end of it, after all, I didn't want Uranus to die, I only wanted him to learn his lesson… however…"
Alfonso turned to end of the battlefield, Chrono, who was on the giant shadow, made a swift move and took out one of Uranus's eyes!
"Chrono wanted more, he took out the eyes of Uranus and swallowed it, giving him a new and more powerful ability"
Alfonso could see the appearance of Chrono changing… his aura changed, everything around him seemed to trembled…
The ocean, the earth… the starts, the planets… the sun himself seeing to fear in front of Chrono's power.
"He acquired the power of fear" Said Gaia.
"Fear?"
"Me and Uranus represented light, so, he took out the light of the universe itself and make him his, extinguish it and creating the power of darkness, fear" Said Gaia.
"Chrono become too strong, everything in the universe was under his feet, the power of time plus the new power of fear make him invincible… after all, Chrono become the only source of fear in the universe" Said Gaia.
"Until that day come…"
A different scenery was show to Alfonso.
"Uranus, with his last breath told Chrono a prophesy that was given to us by the core of the universe"
'Your reign of supremacy won't last long, as history would repeat itself'
"This were the last words of Uranus before Chrono gave him the finishing blow" Said Gaia.
*POM!*
Alfonso saw how Chrono destroyed his father with a huge punch.
"For years, the words of Uranus resonated in Chrono's head, he couldn't sleep, he couldn't' eat… he… for the first time in his life, knew what fear was" Said Gaia.
Alfonso turned around and saw Chrono sitting on a black throne.
"Finally, Chrono's worst fear came true…"
"His first child was about to be born"
Alfonso looked at Chrono's, his expression changed.
"What… what is happening to him!?" Said Alfonso.
"The power of fear is consuming him… overwhelming him… and transforming him into a new power…" Said Gaia.
"Madness…"
Gaia didn't answer, she only nodded.
"I watch how my grandchildren were eaten by Chrono; however, I couldn't do anything about it… because the universe told me that I couldn't…" Said Gaia.
Alfonso saw how Chrono devoured his sons and daughters one by one.
"Finally, the child of the prophecy was born"
"Uwaaah!"
Alfonso heard the cries of a baby, when Alfonso turned around, he saw a small child with white hair crying.
"Zeus…" Murmured Alfonso.
"Zeus was born" Said Gaia.
The scenery changed once more; Alfonso was back in his room.
"Alfonso, the power of fear is what gave Chrono his unlimited power, however, that was drive him into the complete madness, making him the worst kind of creature that had ever lived"
"A creature that only knows fear"
"Alfonso, you must not succumb to the fear, if not, you will only repeat history once more" Said Gaia.
Alfonso listened to what Gaia said.
"Those who don't know their history, are doom to repeat it"
"That's the basic theorem for us, Historians" Said Alfonso.
"I hope that you stay true to your believes"
Like that, the light in the collar of Gaia burned off.
Alfonso stood there and remember every image that he saw with Gaia.
He took out a small lamp and put it on the ground.
This lamp was the lamp that Prometheus gave him when he was trapped in the kingdom of Chrono. He lighted it on and sat with his legs crossed near it.
"I must find my own will" Said Alfonso.
The light engulfed Alfonso and he fainted out on the spot.
