Indra wasn't the one that injured Zack and his team. That was the 7th avatar. Zack tried to guide Indra to fight Malik but failed. As Indra sensed what he was doing and left.WW has been non-stop dropping hints about this guy using time based abilities, like HERO using him to predict shit given Zack's state, remember this guy is recovering from the ass kicking Indra gave him and his team, so that role has been falling onto Deus' lap. If that isn't a big enough hint for you about this guy being a spawn of the 5th then idk what to tell you.
Hell even that dream sequence scene was another bit of confirmation from WW that the guy is a spawn of the 5th. That being said, him being a time traveler? Wouldn't be suprised, he gives DBZ Trunks vibes and what's more fitting than a spawn of the 5th being able to travel through the timelines.
As to the Origin MC being aware of timelines is a mystery that only WW knows about but meh, I hope we don't enter a rabbit hole of timelines cuz that tends to get messy as fuck.
You most likely recalled wrong on the WoG. I'm pretty sure he has never said Deus has no connection to the 5th. Simply because he almost never give straightforward answers with spoiler type questions.It's a bit of a weird conundrum. If I recall correctly, we have Word of God from WW that Deus has no connection to the Fifth Apostle at all. But from what we see in game, almost everything points to him having time powers. Unless WW is lying to us (definite possibility), I'm not sure what alternative explanation there is.
But like you said, and what the game itself showed. It's almost impossible for Deus to not have Time powers of some kind. He has:
Told Alexis and Clark exactly where to meet Ella.
Told Dexter that Tiffany is dangerous to him.
Knew MC was coming to HERO and called the elevator for him. That's along with telling him to be careful of Ella as his future with her is murky.
Xanthe saying he's more accurate than Zack and intentionally being less accurate when it involves MC.
Told HERO that their victory is assured before the Battle of Diamonds (if I remember right).
There's also the finding of Apostle shells, the fact that he located Valravn and that only he is able to corner Hex if it tried to flee. The game saying that Time is dangerous to Space users, according to Nyx when talking to Nico. Hex is an S Rank mutant with some level of control over time, but majority space.
Like, it's almost impossible to say he doesn't have Time. It also the immaterial one of the twin traits, which would explain how he can manipulate some of the immaterial world.
