Chapter 11: The Clock Reforged

Null-Ash struck first.

A red slash tore across the forest clearing, cleaving trees like paper. I parried just in time, the Sword of Life clashing against his Sword of Ruin. Sparks flew. The ground split.

Ram and Deeksha flanked him from both sides, faster now awakened.

“He’s not Ash,” Ram growled, slamming wind magic into Null’s flank.

“But he sure fights like him,” Deeksha added, leaping into the air with her twin blades glowing.

Null twisted, unfazed, red energy shielding his every move. “You are... anomalies. Memory leakage… must be erased.”

He raised the Negative Time Dock, pulsing violently. Time warped again pulling us into a broken timeline fragment suspended in a storm of floating clocks and mirror shards.

But I stood tall. No fear.

“You’re just data,” I said calmly. “You don’t have a soul.”

Null-Ash didn’t hesitate. “You hesitated. That’s why you lost before.”

“Maybe I did,” I admitted. “But this time…”

I held up the Sword of Life, and Ram and Deeksha placed their hands over mine.

“I’m not alone.”

The sword ignited, blinding white.

🕰️ The Final Strike

The Sword of Life surged with our combined memories. Every shared laugh, every training session, every battle, every failure—we poured our souls into the blade.

Even the Dark Dock in my hand reacted, glowing not with shadow, but twilight—half light, half dark.

Balance.

We charged. Null roared, the Negative Time Dock screaming as it rewrote time at lightspeed around us.

But he couldn’t keep up.

Because time is more than rewinding mistakes.

Time is growth. Change. Healing.

With one final cry, I slashed downward cleaving through Null’s core.

He froze.

Red light burst out… then vanished.

He looked at me—not in hatred—but in confusion.

“...You found what I never had…”

Then he smiled—a real smile—and shattered into light.

The Negative Time Dock fell into my palm, silent.

I took a deep breath… and focused.

“Rewind corruption. Purify memory. Restore anchor.”

It flickered… then slowly, the red hue faded.

Blue light returned.

[TIME DOCK – RESTORED]
Chrono Core: Stabilized
Memory Sync: Complete
Time Hero Status: Reinstated

The Dark Dock on my wrist dissolved into particles, merging into the purified Time Dock.

Everything was whole again.

The broken timeline faded, and we awoke in the real world. Peaceful. Birds singing. A summer breeze drifting through the trees.

Deeksha stretched. “Did we just… fix time?”

Ram grinned. “And win a boss fight that nearly deleted the world.”

I smiled, looking down at my wrist. The Time Dock was quiet.

It didn’t glow aggressively. It simply pulsed… like a heartbeat.

Time no longer needed protecting.

We returned as heroes.

The king awarded us with not gold, but a title: Saviors of the Line of Time.

Emilly hugged me without armor, just a cheerful girl again. “So… I still get to be your apprentice, right?”

“No, this time I am tired after the battle I had assigned you under master Ram" I replied 

I will upgrade the bakery's interior design with modern look and tv from another world. "Who want to be the first customer?" I asked 

Then everyone helped me in setting up my bakery and King and my friends were the chief guest of company, and I conveyed my feelings to Deeksha that I love her, and she said " I also love you but let's start exploring the world along with our friends.
