My Soul card is a Reaper

As Azzy looked at his superior in surprise, the latter said, "What? Do you think our R&D is doing nothing? Ever since we tested the first atomic bomb more than a century ago, we were always looking for ways to develop weapons to annihilate demigods and supreme beings. Keeping them in check is necessary.

There's a debate on whether it is viable or not, but after the attack of demons, President Cornelius is favorable to continuously upgrade our weapon technology."

"And even if we develop it, it doesn't mean they will work," argued Azzy after getting the gist of it. He further said, "The most difficult issue is the collateral damage."

"Yeah." Commander Kruger nodded in agreement and let out a sigh. "Too many factors needed to consider it. But, I believe in our progress. Give a century or two, we will have the technology to solve those issues too. Luckily for us, the advanced alien spacecraft are on their way here. Our job is to not only protect people but also acquire all of them. And we cannot let them fall into the hands of others."

After talking for a bit about various things, Azzy realized that he drifted far away from his original purpose and he once again came back to it, to which, Kruger said no but added that WAMO doesn't have the right to restrict him if he wants to pursue a criminal for his personal reasons. 

And as an employee of the organization, Azzy can also request backup or any information at any given moment. In the event of apprehending the criminal to WAMO, he would be rewarded too. 

The commander would then have the right to remove the failure remark from Azzy's file and replace it with a successful covert operation.

Azzy got the hint and he quickly left for the information desk to learn everything WAMO has found out so far from its agents on the mission.

After learning everything he needed to know, Azzy went to a remote location in the Silver City and took out his Hourglass.

He unleashed the hidden skill of the hourglass.

"Hidden Skill: Time Travel"

Azzy's surroundings changed and he returned to the familiar-looking Time Stream. Ignoring countless versions of himself passing through him like ghosts, Azzy walked along the corridor to find the right door and step in.

This time, he ended up in a desert spanning hundreds of kilometers. He then flew toward the nearby City and traveled to Arcana World through the world portal.

He didn't go to Central City but went to Emerald City as he doesn't want to be spotted by Aaron right away.

Upon reaching the academy, he used the Erasure skill card to remove his presence and patiently followed Maria, Aaron's secret sibling.

At the same time, Azzy also constantly scanned about 100 km of his surroundings with Aura Sensing so that he sense Aaron's presence first. As for Albert, Azzy could care less about him at the moment.

Moving at a casual pace to not draw any attention to herself, Maria reached the outskirts of the city but didn't go through the world portals. Instead, she ventured into the wild zone.

Azzy followed her to the cave formations nearby the waterfalls guarded by the boss of the region.

Strangely, the gold-grade beast didn't fight her or show any animosity. Instead, the beast gave her a way to go past it. Azzy, meanwhile, also went past the beast in a state of invisibility without any trouble.

However, he couldn't follow for very long as when reached the deepest part of the cave, she took out a golden key and inserted it into the empty space, opening up a door.

"It's a pocket world," thought Azzy as he stared at her.

The Reaper's voice then echoed in his head, "It's time for our return."

"No," Azzy shook his head, not intending to leave yet despite the fact that he has the ability to break down the pocket world's entrance (using the Gluttony beast sealing technique).

Just as Maria was about to walk through the door, Azzy made his move and gave a chop to her neck, knocking her out.

"What are you doing, Azrael?" The Reaper's voice sounded like he was surprised by Azzy's actions.

Azzy replied as he picked up the key from the floor, "Aaron cares about his sister's life more than his. I believe she could be my perfect leverage. And I don't think she's significant enough for the timeline."

The Reaper became silent for a few seconds and said, "It could work but you have to hide her in a perfect location. You don't have the prison item card."

"Hmm…" Azzy thought for a bit and replied, "Well, there is a place I could think of. But, I need your help."

The Reaper learned of his thoughts and praised, "I guess you are getting better at thinking."

After getting out of the cave, Azzy returned to his timeline. And the first thing he did is to get back to the same place, this time, he didn't bother staying invisible.

Instead, he just went on with boldly massacring everything that comes in his way. Neither did he store their corpses for selling nor did he absorb their Spirit Cores so that it leaves a perfect trail that someone has been there.

After reaching the exact location where Maria was supposed to go, Azzy just turned to the right and unleashed a mystical seal, opening up a small door and revealing a medium-sized room inside. 

It's a pocket world but a small one created by Azzy with Reaper's help, using runes.

Inside the room lies a busty woman in a state of motionless (?)

For a second, Azzy wondered whether she died due to the difficulty of breathing, but just as he reached her to check in person instead of activating his Aura Sensing, Maria suddenly opened her eyes and swept his legs with her entire strength only to feel like she has kicked powerful steel block.

"Agh!" As she let out a painful scream, Azzy looked at her coldly. He realized that she tried to trick him and that worsened his mood further.

"You won't be able to escape, Ms. Maria. Your soul orb was also sealed. If you don't behave, it will be destroyed." He warned her as he crouched to look straight into her eyes.

It was then she finally got a good look at his face. "It's you, Gary…"

"Azrael Garcia, captain ranked officer at WAMO's Zero Squad. A pleasure to meet you, Aaron's sister," replied Azzy with a smile on his face. Maria's whole body shivered in fear when she looked at his smile.

Since the truth is already out, she commented, "My brother warned me to be wary of you. He told me that you are not who says who you are."

"Perhaps, instead of staying wary of me, if you had been wary of assisting your brother in doing evil acts, this situation wouldn't have come," replied Azzy to her comment with a straight face. It looked as if he wasn't arguing but simply stating the truth.

Maria furrowed her brows in displeasure, "My brother is not evil. He is a hero trying to save the world."

"By kidnapping 60 innocent kids? By killing our agent?" Azzy's voice dripped with sarcasm before giving an extremely cold gaze to her. "Do you take me for a fool? I know about your organization Assad and your father's imprisonment."

Roughly around 3 weeks ago, he read her memories. Hence, he knew that she is lying.

In the heat of the moment, Maria firmly defended her brother by shouting at Azzy, "My brother doesn't want to save our dad. He was trying to save the world from him. It is to prevent the emergence of Chaos Lord."

"Chaos Lord?" This time, it became Azzy's turn to frown deeply.
