[A/N: I went back and fixed everything. Sorry about all that. You guys were not the only ones confused. I was confused as well.]
Well, at this moment, something interesting was happening in China…
"So, tell me again." A young Chinese man said calmly, walking up to Seth, who was currently sitting on a throne, coughing up some blood that dripped down his chin. His face was slightly green and sickly, clearly poisoned with something potent, his blindfold couldn't be removed, for it was a cursed item, forever sealing his eyesight completely. His fingers were missing entirely, ensuring he couldn't make hand seals to use Nexus at its full power and potential.
"I said you're weak," Seth said with a bored yawn, making the Chinese man's face turn cold with anger and indignation.
"Even with all of this, you honestly think you won?" Seth burst into loud laughter that echoed through the room as the young man suddenly froze in place as the blindfold exploded into pieces, revealing Seth's eyes clearly. But the next instant, Seth began coughing up more blood,
"Give me a second," Seth said, needing a moment to recover as he began throwing up violently. Instantly, the Chinese man moved with deadly intent, aiming to kill Seth before he recovered or something unexpected happened… but he was horrified when he found he couldn't reach Seth no matter how hard he tried.
"Impossible, how!" He roared furiously, unable to believe this turn of events. He pulled back his sword quickly, swinging the sword nonstop at Seth with desperate fury, who looked as if he was a step away from fainting and collapsing.
"I feel like shit… just what poison did you use? Whatever, I don't need to be poisoned anymore." Seth said, quickly returning to his peak condition and full health, regrowing his limbs that were lost completely. He held out 1 finger casually, pausing for another second as he threw up the remaining poison in his system, before holding his nose with an annoyed look on his face.
"Anyways, I'm immune to poison now. I honestly only put on this whole act to find out what your ability was exactly. You knew far too much about me… well, let me remove your limbs." Seth said lazily, and with a flash of movement, the man's limbs disappeared instantly, cut cleanly from his shoulders.
"What? How? Attack, defense, resistances, senses, speed… just what is your weakness!" He roared desperately, unwilling to accept this reality.
"Haha, stop, I would blush if you complimented me so much," Seth said with a casual wave of his hand at the compliment, which quickly made the man jump at Seth in desperation, wanting to bite him.
"I know I'm sweet and all, but sadly for you, not just anyone can taste me," Seth said mockingly, kicking him away easily, while getting up from the throne.
"So, your ability is called reset. At first, I thought it was mainly an ability that allows you to reset your body as you have shown repeatedly. You were smart and cunning, playing your cards right to get into my good books. Your only flaw was that you were too perfect in your approach." Seth said with a mocking smirk plastered across his face.
"I have been wondering about abilities like return by death, could they exist it… and wow, to think something as overpowered as it existed. I'm curious. How many times did I kill you? On that note, what happens after I kill you? Does a new timeline get created, and this timeline is erased completely?" Seth asked with genuine curiosity, stepping on the man's face.
"Fuck you." He said hatefully, spitting the words out.
"Oh my, but I have to reject you. Getting fucked by a guy isn't something I'm into," Seth said with a shake of his head in mock disappointment.
"So, how much torture have you experienced across all those resets? A weak human like you, I doubt you could withstand any real pain." Seth said mockingly, making the man's body shift in panic and fear.
"Just a thought of it made you react like that? I expected nothing more from humans… well, at least amongst you things, those 3 humans exist… I monologue a lot. My wife said it's going to land me in big trouble a lot, but I doubt it. I'm too overpowered… sure, it's because my arrogance we are at war with the dwarf race… but let's be honest, it wasn't my fault." Seth said casually and dismissively, making the man reach out desperately upon hearing Seth talking about his wife with such possessive ease.
"Don't talk about Chu Yin!" He roared angrily, his voice raw with fury and desperation. To which Seth completely ignored him without even acknowledging the outburst,
"I think I can talk about what's mine all I want," Seth said while picking the man up effortlessly with one hand, and his hand instantly phased through his head with an eerie fluidity, and reached his soul directly
"I guess this is what you call soul touching… get it, I'm touching your soul?" Seth asked with a grin, looking for a reaction and some kind of amusement, but all he got was a hateful glare burning with impotent rage.
"What a crowd," Seth said with a casual shrug, completely unbothered by the hostility,
"I'm going to place a slave seal on you. I will try and make it so you reset to this moment. Let's test it, are you loyal?" Seth asked with a mocking smirk plastered across his face.
"Your mother should have swallowed you." He said, spitting on Seth with all the contempt he could muster, only for the spit to be unable to reach him at all, stopping in the air as if hitting an invisible wall, blocked by the infinity between them that made contact impossible.
"Kinky, I like that. I believe one should be creative in bed, although my wife always takes it too far at times. Is it me, or is the idea of a girl trying to eat your ass weird?" Seth asked with a look of genuine concern on his face, as if this were a serious philosophical question, making the man throw up a mouthful of blood.
"Hey… you're alive? How did you die?" Seth was completely speechless as the guy just died on him suddenly without warning, his body going limp.
The Chinese man's eyes opened abruptly and sharply, sitting up in his room with a gasp, and he looked around in shock and disorientation for a second before punching the ground hard enough to crack it.
"I failed again!" He roared angrily. All he had was a simple SS tier ability, but it had an overpowered ability. An ability called Reset, where he can dream of reality, and upon death, he can awaken with full knowledge of the future, the whole event becoming a dream that felt horrifyingly real.
The future that he had just experienced wasn't real in the physical sense, but a dream of what could happen if he made the wrong choices. After all, how could an SS-tier talent like his affect time and space on such a fundamental level, allowing him to regress to the past with full memory intact? Only a super-powerful ability beyond normal classification could do such a thing with true temporal manipulation,
By now, after countless deaths and resets, he knew everything about Seth and his overwhelming capabilities; he knew everything that would happen in the coming days, and he knew everything about those around Seth and their various abilities and weaknesses.
"Mary should have died by now, meaning the other SSS tier talents around Seth are scared of him. Trying to get them to turn against him only got them all slaughtered." He gritted his teeth in bitter frustration, his jaw clenching tight; with every dream he had and every death he experienced, the days got closer and closer until Seth conquered this whole world completely.
Chu Yin was his damned wife by right; he didn't care that she ran away before they got married and rejected the arrangement. To him, they had been married since they were children and promised to each other.
He, of course, knew with absolute certainty that Chu Yin wasn't the real her anymore, that something fundamental had changed. Yes, her personality was completely different from the girl he remembered from before; the way Seth treated her was as if she had no free will of her own, like she belonged to him and no one else in the entire world. Was it not clear and obvious that Chu Yin was being forced and controlled against her will?
He had to save her, no matter how many deaths he endured, no matter what he had to go through or suffer, he refused to abandon her under any circumstances. For he loved her with all his heart. Did Naruto abandon Sasuke when things got difficult? No, so why would he abandon his wife when she was doing none of this on her own free will? True love forgives all transgressions, true love endures all hardships, and true love fights against impossible odds!
