Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 797: Intricate Time Web

“Well, does this make you feel better?” said Cronos, with the same voice and manner as Hermione.

He now had a thick brown shawl and curly hair, and his eyes were also vivid brown. He raised his chin slightly, like Hermione’s slightly domineering but lovely look.

If he hadn’t witnessed the transformation process with his own eyes, Evan couldn’t tell that it was a fake Hermione.

It seemed that this self-proclaimed Cronos the Titan not only had no fixed form, but even gender had no meaning for him.

If Hermione was really here, Evan would be very happy. But the guy in front of him had changed into Hermione, still wearing those loose male robes, which did not really fit…

“You’d better change back!” said Evan. It was weird to talk to “Hermione” like that.

If there was no other choice, let him return to his own appearance.

Upon careful consideration, this mysterious being just referred to himself as the ancient Titan Cronos, which was truly a shocking title!

In ancient Greek mythology, Cronos was one of the original Titan gods, representing the first cause that transcended everything, namely time.

Simultaneously, he created order and chaos.

His power was unique, above all things, existing before the beginning, and creating everything.

Evan didn’t know if the Titan in front of him who had returned to his own appearance was indeed the supreme existence. But what was happening in front of him had completely exceeded his understanding, and had developed rapidly in an unpredictable direction.

“I know, you are full of doubts now,” said Cronos. “But we have limited time. There is no way to explain everything in detail. As long as you know, Evan, this is not the first time we meet, and it won’t be the last…”

“I don’t understand … I haven’t seen you before!” said Evan, looking at this strange guy.

“We have met a long time ago, you, me, and other Titans. We fought side by side to save this planet. In chronological order, this should have been our first meeting.” Cronos waved his hand and said slowly, “It may be the first time for you to see me in this temple beneath the whirlpool under the guidance of Rowena Ravenclaw, but it doesn’t mean anything to me who keeps shuttling between the past and the future.”

There was a moment of silence, and Evan was doing his best to digest these words.

If he hadn’t been here in the Temple of Time below the whirlpool of Charybdis, Evan would have thought that this guy was joking with him, using magic to become him and Hermione, saying crazy things.

“Well, you mean, we have met in the past. It’s a past experience for you, but for me it’s something that has not happened yet and it will happen in the future …” said Evan uncertainly. This sounded really incredible.

However, assuming all this was true, it was not impossible. With the help of the Time-Turner, Evan could indeed go back to the past.

“At that time, don’t try to explore and understand every clue,” said Cronos, looking at Evan. “For example, in the future I see, there are many possibilities. In a timeline, you didn’t show up, your lover Hermione Granger finally married your classmate Ron Weasley, and your other classmate Harry Potter, with the help of friends and other wizards, defeated the Dark wizard named Voldemort, saved Hogwarts, and prevented a crisis in the wizarding world, but nothing changed, and the world was eventually destroyed, a long time later … “

There was another moment of silence, and what the guy said was more and more surprising.

He said that the first half of the future of this timeline was exactly what Evan was familiar with in the original Harry Potter story.

Harry eventually defeated Voldemort, but many people died, including Dumbledore, Sirius, Lupin, Fred, Cedric, Colin, Dobby, Mad-Eye Moody, Tonks, and Snape among others.

In Evan’s view, it was far from a happy ending. Too many people who should not have died had paid the price in this devastating war.

At the end of the story, Hermione also married Ron, and they reportedly had a bad relationship after marriage…

But these things did happen in the time when Evan was not there.

It took a long time for Evan before he asked slowly, “Do you know Harry and Hogwarts?”

He looked at the guy in surprise, observing this mysterious being that looked just like him, but his body was shining with silver light.

In fact, when this guy became Hermione just now, Evan had wanted to ask this question. He seemed to know everything.

Even if he could travel through time, he was not supposed to know so many things.

“I didn’t know that, I was only in charge of time, and I was not omniscient. The things I did not experience were not within my grasp, but the moment I contacted you, I knew everything about what you’ve done, the past, the present, the future, and the people you know. This is my ability, the power of time!” Cronos explained. “Don’t be surprised, because I have endless time to contact you and get to know your things little by little, including the people you know!”

“This is indeed a very powerful ability!” said Evan subconsciously.

The strange feeling of uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger. Even if Cronos said that he was not omniscient and omnipotent, he seemed to know everything about Evan, which gave the latter a feeling that no secret could be hidden.

Unlike the power of Dumbledore or the evil gods, who could see through the mind, Cronos had knowledge and control over Evan’s time, just as he knew about Harry, Hermione, and Hogwarts. He had just said that Harry defeated Voldemort, and it was precisely Evan who knew the story of Harry Potter.

By using these events, Cronos proved his point that there was a world where Evan didn’t exist.

But after Harry defeated Voldemort, what did it mean that the world was finally destroyed?

Also, what did it mean that Evan once fought side by side with him and other Titans to save this planet?

This made Evan feel very, very bad. Literally, there seemed to be great trouble waiting for him.

Not to mention saving the world, just to prevent evil gods from coming had already made Evan feel like he was walking on thin ice. He couldn’t see himself possessing such abilities.

This responsibility was too great and should not be the charge of a mortal like Evan.

Even if Voldemort defeated Dumbledore and ruled the wizarding world, that did not mean necessarily the end of the world…
