So far, Pellus seems like he is the only one who kept his demonic characteristics (the horns). Nobody else seems to have them, is this because he sort of became a "god" in the other timeline?
This just feels like improved Pellus 2. 0 was replaced by demon god Pellus when they merged together. Or perhaps it's necessary that he keep(?) the power of curses for the annhilation dragon event that is coming up in this timeline?
probably the latter, But he does have the memories of the present pellus and the demon god pellus.
... the time travelling device was not dropped by the final boss monster, but actually left behind by The Father? As a sort of last move, hiding it somewhere on the final boss using a mana lock that only "opens" via explosion by being in contact with MC's flames?
We know there's a mana storing rune, and it possibly has been used on Kim (the body with the mask inside the mud dungeon). It wouldn't be that weird that future Father knew about it and used it, betting on MC to try and attack, triggering the time travel device.
As for the time travel device, yhat could have beb a dungeon item Father was hiding and saving for emergencies, just like his tags. Or it might have been a secretly developed item as a last resort, and linked to the magic watch? Because remember the MC was confused and didn't know how to use the time travel device, and we saw it say that it would return MC to an indeterminate time. But that indeterminate time just so happens to be before any massive dungeon breaks happen? Sounds a bit deliberate.
Just a guess, but I'm intrigued. Future Father seems to have been playing 5D chess all the time.
well, i’m invested ╮(￣▽￣)╭
