My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

514  Chapter 514: Echo of Eternity

Eren didn't simply feel the pain of his skin being clawed out. The pain was felt through his soul and mind, as if thousands of poisonous ants were biting all over his body.

At this point, Eren realized that the goddess was probably the worst thing to have happened to him. She didn't just want him to suffer because she hated him. Instead, there was an element of greed in her actions.

He didn't understand where that greed came from, but he did realize that he was going to go crazy if he didn't stop her. His mind was going to be completely destroyed at this point. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was the worst pain that he had ever felt before, feeling as if a part of him was dying with each passing second. After clawing the entire right side of his face, the goddess placed her nail on his forehead, slowly stabbing them inside.

The pain only increased, growing much worse. At this point, Eren couldn't even think straight about the skills that could help him.

His soul was hurting so bad that he couldn't think about anything. The only skill that he was rarely able to remember was one that he had recently gained.

He didn't know if his future or past self was going to help him, or suffer the same pain that he was supposed to suffer. Even then, it was better to let them feel the pain than getting broken personally.

At best, his future or past self was going to possess his body for half an hour. In the meantime, his real soul was going to be sleeping, avoiding the pain.

Even if he was to die here, it was important to protect his soul. And in this situation, only that one skill could protect his soul. He had to use possession to answer possession.

His vision had already turned red as blood trickled down from his forehead to enter his eyes. Everything in his eyes turned red, but the pain never stopped.

Eren barely managed to gain enough mental strength to use one skill.

"Echo of Eternity...."

Eren didn't know who was going to possess him; his past, or future? At this point, that was the last thing that mattered to him.

As soon as he used the Echo of Eternity, the terrifying pain that he was feeling simply disappeared.

Everything around him turned darker, as if his consciousness was floating in an endless dark world, created just for his soul to sleep during the Echo of Eternity possession.

He had thought that he was simply going to sleep during this time, waking up when everything was over. However, this sleep felt a little different.

Even in his sleep, he had a lot of time to think about things. He was really curious as to what was happening in the outside world.

As he floated through the space, he wondered exactly which of his personalities was suffering. If it was his past self, he could only feel her for that person.

One moment, his past self was a professor on earth. The next moment, he was being tormented by a goddess, craving for death instead.

If it was his future self, then it didn't change anything either. It wasn't as if his future self could change anything. The only good thing about it was that at least he knew the kind of situation he was in.

"If it's my future self, I'm sure he will understand my actions, right?" Eren frowned. However, he also realized that it just meant he was going to suffer from it again.

In the future, he was abruptly going to be called to the body of his present self and feel the pain that he had avoided currently.

If it was his future self, then he had simply delayed this pain for the future.

"The worst part is that I won't even know which of my selves was called. How many years in the future or past? I can't even prepare for it."

He was supposed to have a peaceful time sleeping while his other self was suffering. However, he was lost in heavy contemplation which was making him feel another headache.

Fortunately, this new headache was like a heavenly fruit compared to the pain that his other self was feeling in his body. Or so he thought...

....

In the real world, the Goddess had stabbed her sharp nails inside Eren's forehead, trying to destroy his soul so she could actually learn everything about him.

Her nails weren't simply penetrating through his skin in the physical form, but even in the spiritual form, they were infiltrating his mind, trying to enter the depths of his consciousness.

As she was about to reach the deepest parts of Eren's soul, trying to devour all his secrets, her expressions swiftly changed.

She opened her eyes, looking at her wrist which was being held by man's hand.

She was taken aback, not understanding how Eren had managed to free herself from his restriction.

His face was covered in blood. The pain was so bad that he should have been broken already. Despite that, he looked like he was in complete control.

The blood in his eyes was trickling down, his vision still appearing red. However, something felt different about him. His eyes felt unusually cold.

If his eyes were confused and hesitant previously, then they felt like they had a clear understanding of the situation currently.

"So it's this era..." Eren said, his fingers touching the scars on his face that were still bleeding. "How long has it been... I almost forgot about this..."

The Goddess felt like something was wrong with Eren's reaction. He was suddenly talking differently. It was as if he was thousands of years old, reminiscing about the past.

"Even though I'm possessing someone, it shouldn't have weakened the restriction to this extent. How did you free yourself?! How are you still sane?" The Goddess asked Eren, suddenly having a strong feeling that something was extremely wrong.
