Denos and The Power of Time

"You are Denos, The Keeper of The Hall?" Matthias looked at him and said his name that he meant to give such a guy with great responsibility.

When he said the name, he once again fainted, leaving the two people gawking.

When he woke up again, he already felt a little fine. He stood up and he found out that he was on a comfortable bed previously.

Nuwa returned and shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I'm really sorry for not telling you those things early."

"What?" Matthias was totally confused by now, as he had already fainted two times.

"The Keeper, or the one you named Denos, is a type of Transcendent. You should've been only able to create someone like him once you ascend to the Universal God Rank or at least reach 100 million Mystic Points. I don't even know how you were able to create him and just faint for ten weeks. You should've been dead by now as creating someone like him would've needed a lot of Mystic Points and that should've drained your Mystic Points and your life and all of your creations quickly." She said solemnly. Hearing that he just had a near-death experience, Matthias suddenly had goosebumps and his hair stood.

"But you didn't even stop there, and I am already questioning if you are a descendant of the Supreme Being or someone equal to him and supported you with their energy."

"Why?" He stammered.

"Because you gave me a name, Master." Suddenly, a taller, nobler, more elegant, and more handsome man walked towards him. He was exuding a very powerful aura of mysteriousness and incomprehensibility. He smiled elegantly and waved his coat that reached to his knees backward and half-kneeled towards him.

"Stand up, Denos. You need not kneel to me. I gave you such a huge responsibility of guarding The Hall of Knowledge and I shall treat you as a brother or if you don't want to be equal to me and instead lower, I shall treat you as my godson." Matthias rushed to him and held his hand to make him stand up. This gesture was imprinted deep into Denos' heart and marked his true and unwavering loyalty towards Matthias.

"Yes.." Denos stammered, "Godfather." After saying that and lifting the weight on his shoulders, he smiled and hugged Matthias. Matthias was touched and returned the hug.

After a minute of hugging while Nuwa was watching them, they returned to the topic. 

"What's me giving you a name had anything to do with me nearing death?" Matthias asked.

Denos smiled and breathed in and explained calmly, "Godfather, A Transcendent like me isn't the same as mortals or Immortals. Transcendents are of a higher existence than the latter. And it is special when someone we recognize as equal or higher than us gives us a name." It was as if the knowledge of his type of existence was deeply imprinted inside Denos that he explained it eloquently as if he was an old being who knew his true existence even though he was just more than three months old.

"What's special about it?" Matthias inquired more. He wanted to know more to avoid making the same mistake again.

"Once you give us a name, all of our traits will be enhanced by varying amounts. When you gave me my name, it felt as if you really thought about it carefully and related it with my innate abilities. As a result, my comprehension of knowledge, Time, Space, and Writing increased by halfway, double, and quadruple respectively. The name also increased my physical and mental strength fivefold." Denos answered.

"Currently, Denos is seven times more powerful than you. You're just a Creator, that's why he will not be able to defeat you." Nuwa enlightened him, making him shocked.

"I tested my strength not really that long ago, but I estimated that my current strength could destroy half of all of Alphan if I seriously punched. Yi Tiancai's punch could destroy about two continents and the oceans between them. If Denos was seven times more powerful…" Matthias gasped.

"It is true, Godfather. But, don't worry. I wouldn't fight you." Denos chuckled.

Matthias breathed in and out to calm down and looked at Denos, "You are powerful. Would you still like the boring work of managing the Hall of Knowledge?" 

"Godfather, Knowledge is Power. The knowledge that I can gather and write to store inside the Hall will be a blessing to me." Denos shook his head and smiled. He was indeed made to love reading and writing. He wouldn't be bored doing the things he likes.

"That's good to know." Matthias nodded and patted him. He then remembered and asked him, "Why did giving you the innate ability to comprehend the Law of Time almost kill me? And what do you mean that fortunately, I only view Time as a Law?"

"Like I said before, Time is already an existence in and of itself. Just like how Order is an existence in itself and having Law under it. Time, as an existence in itself, has the Law of Time under it. The Law of Time is but a shallow understanding of Time. The Law of Time will make me able to see Time backwards and recount the pasts of your creations. But Time could theoretically send me back and forth through time." Denos answered.

Matthias nodded but only understood parts of it. He then faced the East Northeast of the space and willed his mind. A huge 15 by 20 feet archway portal. He then made its law to open random passages to open doors all throughout his worlds. 

He also created a dispensing box that automatically creates a blank book. He specially created plants, normal and spiritual, that could be used to make ink and planted them in Cane, the world of plants. He made a connection from the Hall to Cane, allowing Denos to harvest materials. He created a room beside the reference desk where Denos will be staying to store materials like the made ink and if he ever fancied making it, papers.

Matthias personally wrote some books about gardening, mining, gathering, artifact crafting, technological programming, some cultivation techniques, skills, knowledge, and Laws to contribute to the Hall.
