"I know you probably suspect I've gone mad."
Lucian's voice was low: "To be honest, more than anyone else, I want to kill Noah."
"It wasn't just me; everyone in the future tried every possible method, made countless attempts, but we all failed. He is unkillable. When I awakened the fourth effect of my Talent, Time Travel, we once thought we saw hope of killing Noah. The future Noah was indeed unimaginably powerful, an existence completely beyond our comprehension, but even the most powerful person has weak moments; as long as I could travel back to when he was weak, I could kill him."
"Did you succeed?" Rose asked, and as soon as she spoke, she knew the answer.
If he had succeeded, why would Lucian have paid an unimaginable price to be reborn and return?
"I failed." Lucian's answer was not unexpected by Rose: "I traveled back to one year after the mass awakening; at that time, Noah was only a Five-Order expert, not my opponent at all."
