The way I see it, Deus can only see the future up to a certain point and the past. He can see the branches from decisions he made but only restricted to timelines he existed in at those points in time. He can't see infinite timeline branches or the many branches of others decisions. This was proven when he was shook a bit by the MC getting reborn by the Eye. This was one of the major things that proved Deus Time power isn't omniscient. That clearly wasn't supposed to happen and he had to adjust to this new timeline and fix it.I do have a guess on how Deus's power works so hear me out gents:
If the timeline stuff is all correct that means Deus exists at various points in time and time has branched off into various branches which Deus can see only because HE exists at those points.
I can imagine that Deus can't see super far into time because something happens (aka he dies) and I'm going to guess that Deus cannot see into a certain point in the past because he doesn't have his power at that point in time.
Just a guess I just have an odd feeling his power is anchored to well...himself at various points in time (since every single action can shift how things playout...there is potentially INFINITE Deus seeing how everything shifts and turns or just a finite amount because otherwise Deus would fucking have aneurysm trying to process infinite hims at various points in time).
Or instead of processing various points of himself at once he might just be able to glance on what that version of him is doing during that shift in time and see how it plays out for him/HERO as a whole.
Basically Deus is on his Zero Escape grindset if my theory is right lol

DrakoGhoul & Gtdead I'd love to hear your opinions on this theory of mine in regards to time boi.
Then again, Deus could be from the future, originally. We know he can time travel to the past. For all we know, Deus could be a descendant of the future Superhuman race or an artificially made Superhuman, who went back in time to make sure stuff ends well. There's also the possibility that he inherited both traits of Time and Space naturally or artificially as well.
Point is, Deus and his power could be any number of things. Until we get more background on him, he's an anomaly. All we know, for now, is that he can see the future and go back to the past, if he chooses to. He potentially has the Time and Space Trait. And that, while he's precise in his future seeing, there's stuff that he can't see coming until it occurs first. This shows that he doesn't see infinite or even countless amounts of timelines out there. If there's too much going on, it disrupts his power from seeing it.
That's also likely why he doesn't reach Level 5 as well. Maybe the consequences are so bad, he can't even see the timeline. Or maybe, his Level 5 self blocks himself from being seeing entirely from the past. Or, he knows exactly when his evolution occurs naturally and refuses to evolve via the serum. It would be hard for him to fail the requirements for it and it wouldn't be surprising if it did involve the MC.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. It's also why I said multiple times in the past that Time Shenanigans are a pain to deal with in fiction. It can go any number of ways and WW can take it as far as he needs it to go. It's better to just let it play out then to even try to guess how it works.
