Cipher stood outside the gate, Lyra still resting in his arms.
He looked at the place where the gate had once been. Nothing remained. Not even a trace.
"It really closed," he thought.
His expression brightened.
He had always wondered why the Time God had placed the worlds in these time capsules when they would eventually die anyway. But it made sense now.
The Time God was hoping that someone would take out these worlds. That's why the gates closed.
He wondered if the Time God knew that he would personally close the gates. Was that why he had sent him that skill?
Cipher didn't believe receiving the Regression skill was a coincidence.
And Lyra too...
Was all of this part of the Time God's plan? For him to discover the spiritual sea through Lyra and have the idea of putting the worlds inside it?
If that was the case, then the Time God was significantly more powerful than the other gods he had encountered. At least from the little he knew about them through their Saintesses.
