Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Lorosa Dynasty

Karnak Sanctuary

This is the technological heart of the Lonosa Dynasty. The sanctuary exists independently of the dimensions of reality, existing outside of any time or space.

Nine giant living metal tower gates envelop the sanctuary, forming a spindle-shaped structure that is ten thousand meters high. Inside the sanctuary stand 134 giant stone pillars, which are interwoven with living metal and time crystals. Each pillar is an entrance to a possibility.

Through these stone pillars, the Lonosa dynasty possessed the ability to turn possibilities into reality.

If these pillars are destroyed, a deadlock will appear in the network of time, and the self-consistency of time will actively erase these deadlocks, leading to the most serious consequences:

Reality collapses.

The reality associated with the stone pillars will be erased directly from the timeline, as if they never existed. Any trace left by reality will be replaced by other existences.

But this is actually a paradox, because theoretically, a memory entity will not be aware of the act of forgetting without external stimulation. Even if it has lost 90% of its memories, it will not remember what it has forgotten. Therefore, from the perspective of this memory entity, it still has complete memories.

However, through some unconventional means, the Lonosa dynasty found some fragmented realities that did not exist in any timeline.

According to calculations by the Lonoza dynasty, at least three large-scale reality collapse events have occurred in the material universe. Two of these events are known: one occurred 60 million years ago, and the other occurred 13,000 years ago.

The cause of the third collapse is unknown, and it will occur in an uncertain future.

A reality collapse is like cutting off a period of time and then stretching it back to its original length. Even if it occurs in the future, its impact on time is holistic. The time engineers of the Lonosa dynasty substituted the variables from the two collapses into the original data, and the results still differed greatly from reality. Therefore, they concluded that at least one more major event that severely impacts the entire timeline must occur in the future.

Inside the sanctuary

A ghostly green glow flowed among the 134 stone pillars, casting a phantom-like shadow.

Khonsu is inspecting the entire sanctuary.

His body was made of liquid mercury-like silver Necronom metal, with swirling energy patterns flowing across its surface, reflecting cold silver, blue, and green light as the light and shadow changed. His upper body had six mechanical arms, with the two lower pairs of arms peacefully bound in front of his body, and the top pair of arms crossed in front of his chest.

His fingers are sharp and long, capable of being the most precise tools, scalpels for curing diseases, or butcher knives for slicing through the body of a target. His claws are outstretched, radiating outwards, like a haori (a type of traditional Chinese garment).

His lower body is a snake tail, covered with rhomboid metal scales with a mother-of-pearl-like luster at the edges. The scales can curl and extend independently, gliding silently.

However, what is most unusual is his face. He has no eyes, nose, or mouth. Where facial features should be placed is a smooth Necronom metal surface, but the living metal ripples flowing naturally on it seem to have some kind of consciousness and are flowing regularly.

The silver-gray patterns sometimes flowed gently like the spiral arms of a galaxy, and sometimes surged rapidly like quantum pulses, as if the will hidden beneath this metallic body was sensing every tremor of the time network through this faceless surface.

Whenever Kong Su paused in front of a stone pillar, the pillar and the lines on his face created a special resonance, and after he left, everything seemed unchanged.

But the possibilities within the stone pillar have been subtly altered, like gently blowing away a snowflake that could have triggered an avalanche.

Among infinite possibilities, there must be the worst one, and in infinite time, infinitely many possibilities will inevitably occur.

However, when necessary, only a few minor adjustments can prevent the worst-case scenario.

At least, not today.

At the end of his patrol, Konso arrived at the center of the Karnak Sanctuary, where a folded dimension was stored, containing only one being:

Second Terra.

The vast universe holds infinite possibilities. One second someone is chatting and laughing with you, and the next second they might pull out a weapon and slit your throat. The possibility is extremely small, but it does exist.

Through the stone pillars, Kongsu can turn some possibilities into reality. Usually, this part of reality will dissipate quickly like a bubble, causing a small-scale reality collapse, thus erasing the paradox of two realities existing at the same time.

However, with the help of the technology of the Space Necromancer, Kong Su can extend the time it takes for the bubble to burst indefinitely.

Therefore, this planet, plucked from other possibilities, can only be preserved in the most stable field. Once it leaves the stable field, the repulsive reaction of spacetime will "squeeze" the planet out of the existing timeline. In an instant, the Second Terra will collapse into a black hole and then be erased from existence.

Harvesting this planet was an unprecedented challenge even for Kong Su, but the final result was absolutely worthwhile.

If this research leads to a technology that can completely solidify these potential bubbles, then mechanical immortals will have control over all time and space, possessing unlimited resources and opportunities.

As for the biological impurities that were later added to this experimental subject, that was another attempt.

Many scientists and engineers stood guard before the folded dimension, monitoring every data fluctuation on the Second Terra. They were not Kongsu's colleagues or subordinates; Kongsu did not require any assistance. They answered directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

However, upon seeing Kong Su arrive, all the scientists and technicians stopped what they were doing and addressed him by his title:

"Science and technology engineer Kong Su".

Although Kongsu is the master of the Karnak Sanctuary and the most transcendent being there, his title or status does not bring him any special benefits in his research; he remains a Lorosa Technician.

Kong Su's facial features remained unchanged as he walked past these low-level sorcerers, while the indicators and data on the monitor were adjusted to a more suitable range.

Kong Su was not deeply involved in the research, but he only needed to glance at it to understand it and make improvements.

Other scientists and engineers, upon seeing their observations or experimental results altered, not only did not become angry, but instead exhibited signs of excitement.

Because Kong Su's seemingly casual change might have required them to study diligently for days to find the answer, but now Kong Su has directly provided the answer, and all they need to do is understand it.

However, while all the scientists were captivated by Kong Su, something unusual happened on a hidden display screen.

The instrument was detecting the real-time number of people in a certain area of ​​the second Terra. However, during a brief window when the technicians responsible for recording and observing were distracted, the number of people on the display suddenly decreased by two, but then instantly jumped back to the original value.

Everything seemed normal.
