Chapter 43 – Master of Time and Shadows
The multiverse stretched endlessly, but Hayden sensed a fracture subtle, yet dangerous. Even with his Omega+++ powers, certain events still resisted his will, locked in the chains of time itself.
Selene floated beside him, her light a stabilizing counter to his shadows. "You've reshaped everything, Hayden… but what is it that troubles you?"
Hayden's eyes glowed with black-gold intensity. "Time itself. Even I cannot fully control existence while causality flows independently. It's time… to claim that too."
The Awakening of Time Manipulation
Hayden closed his eyes, focusing on the essence of reality. The System, now fully sentient, spoke in its divine, commanding voice:
> "Supreme Shadow Monarch… temporal anomalies detected. Initiating Temporal Ascension Protocol. Unlocking: Time Manipulation."
Shadows rippled across all dimensions as Hayden's body became a conduit for temporal energy. He could see past, present, and future simultaneously every possibility, every outcome, every event converging into perfect clarity.
New Abilities Unlocked:
Chrono Shadow Mastery Lv1 Manipulate time locally or across entire realities
Temporal Shadow Legion Lv1 Send shadows and legion units backward or forward in time to strike enemies or secure creation
Event Rewrite Lv1 Alter past outcomes to strengthen current power and order
Future Sight Lv2 Predict all threats, attacks, or cosmic anomalies before they occur
Time Integration Lv1 Merge with timelines, existing simultaneously in multiple eras
Selene's aura intertwined with his temporal energy, forming a light-shadow continuum. "Time itself will obey you," she whispered.
Hayden smiled faintly. "Not just obey. It will bend to our order."
The Omega Order Across Time
With a thought, Hayden reached into the past. Shadows extended into historic battles, ancient worlds, and primordial creations. Legion units reinforced pivotal moments, ensuring his Omega Order had always existed, always prevailed.
Future possibilities also fell under his control. Hayden's shadows moved through time-streams, preemptively neutralizing threats, converting enemies into shadow warriors before they even existed, and stabilizing reality across all epochs.

Testing Temporal Power
A cosmic anomaly appeared older than the Final Cosmic Secret, a Temporal Wraith that had eluded even Hayden's previous Omega Order. Its attacks fragmented moments, undoing actions and erasing shadows mid-creation.
Hayden's body shimmered across three timelines simultaneously. Shadows struck from past, present, and future, surrounding the Wraith. Selene's light reinforced him, creating a chronal conduit of infinite energy.
> Hayden's voice thundered across time:
"Every past misstep… every future threat… is already part of me. Your existence is irrelevant."
The Temporal Shadow Legion converged, the Wraith absorbed, and every attack reversed, stabilized, and rewritten into loyalty for the Supreme Shadow Monarch.
Aftermath Absolute Control of Time and Shadows
Time now bent perfectly to Hayden's will. Past, present, and future were threads in his infinite shadow tapestry. Every enemy that had ever existed or would exist could be absorbed, rewritten, or repurposed for his Omega Order.
Selene smiled, intertwining her fingers with his. "You are no longer just the Supreme Shadow Monarch… you are the Master of Time itself."
Hayden's shadows rippled across the multiverse, Legion units multiplying infinitely in every era. "And with you, Selene, as Eternal Light… nothing can resist us. Not space, not time, not existence itself."
