Ti.
One of the supre Laws that humans could never grasp or master. As lower dinsional creatures that had never seen before a higher dinsion, they had no way to comprehend it.
That was why Andrew's family could only use the thod of capturing the Clockwheel Worm. Using these transcendent creatures that lived in the tiline and maintained its flow, that family had indirectly obtained the power to grasp the rules of ti.
However, Haniel, who arrived in this world as an evolved form of the Clockwheel Worm, the Chronos Butterfly, had the authority to control ti and simply didn't need to comprehend anything about ti itself.
Just jumping between dinsions was as instinctive to her as walking.
With such a unique ability, she could look down on even those of the sa level and view others as insignificant. Even after joining the Path of the Flaming Sword, even Michael wouldn't give her direct orders.
Despite this, in essence, she was just but a tiny bug of a higher-dinsional world. Yet, to humans, she was the master of ti.
It ought to have been like this...
However, this all changed in that brief encounter with that scary black-haired young man.
She never imagined she would ever find herself in such a sorry state. Her actual body had been caught, and she hadn't been able to resist in any way. Moreover, she had nearly been entirely devoured, managing to escape with a part of her body thanks to her instincts.
"Power… Give back my power…"
She wailed in extre pain and jumped across different tilines at rapid speed. Following her instincts, she searched for the culprit behind it all with the single-minded thought of asking the other party to return her strength.
Haniel had used up her entire life's strength just for escaping. Losing her body and power had caused her to fall into a semi-degenerate state, and currently she seed to have returned to being an ignorant bug, just blindly following her instincts.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. A suddenly flash of inspiration, like a thread ford by a weak light, was guiding her—
There!
Besides sensing the culprit that had devoured most of her power, there was also the obvious aura of her fellow species that she had wanted to save from the beginning!
Yes, that's right!
Hadn't she co to save her fellow kin?
Haniel, who wasn't much different from a regular insect now, had completely lost the ability to think rationally and was now charging straight to the tempting glow like a moth to fire.
"My power!" Haniel was overjoyed. With her tattered body, she leaped into the tiline.
In the side hall, the Ji father and daughter pair, as well as Greg, were all staring wide eyed at the clock Lin Jie held, whose second hand had been rotated backward by a significant amount.
Ji Zhixiu had a blank look on her face, the shock of this scene leaving her dumbfounded. She rembered that this device’s capacity to rewind ti... completely overlapped with the scale on the clock?
The anxious words that Greg wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He was shocked to recognize that this ornate trinket was the secret treasure of the Andrew family that could manipulate ti.
Don't tell ...
Before his thoughts even took shape, the torrent of ti being reversed swept over in the next mont.
Haniel was midway through her jump, about to extricate her body from the crack of ti and reach out to touch her imprisoned kind.
However, she sensed the flow of ti had started to reverse!
With the accidental brush of Lin Jie's finger causing the second hand to move, the normal flow of ti had co to an abrupt halt as if it had been cut off—
Then, the flow of ti around Haniel's body crushed toward her like a closing wall trap.
Haniel had no ti to think. She couldn't escape this ti.
The Chronos Butterfly that had crossed several space-ti axes was swept by the imnse power of ti as if she had been thrown into a washing machine and was tumbling nonstop.
Her body, which was made of countless rays of light, was pulled in all directions, instantly exploding in countless worms that splattered all over. In pain and full of unwillingness, Haniel relied on her strong willpower to gather her body together.
"No—!"
Haniel roared and struggled frantically amidst the continuous shattering and reconstructing.
Intersecting tilines were like a at grinder, tearing her apart and mixing it all up. Akin to a ball of yarn being played with by a cat, Haniel crossed several tilines and was at many different ti points all at once.
"Save ... Save ... Anyone... I don't want to die—"
Fear of death gripped Haniel as she desperately grabbed at every crack in the surging dinsional turbulence, trying to find an anchor point. At this mont, she was like a drowning person who had fallen into the ocean and was trying to clutch at anything that could offer her a respite.
However, the imnse power of ti being reversed was unstoppable. It was like the flow of water, from the most completed ti to the shattered one.
Space-ti was like a rolled-up towel of reality and dream folded together, forming a peripheral area riddled with holes that had fused with a man-made space that already existed.
At the sa ti, the gap between space and ti completely closed. The two distorted walls crushed everything within to powder.
Like a water balloon that had been squeezed by extre pressure, Haniel exploded, causing the power of Law to co gushing out and flowing into the surrounding dinsional rift at the death of this Supre-rank!
As if having just experienced a long and mystical journey, lissa opened her green eyes wide and watched the rapidly retreating world before her.
On the battlefield in the distance, a massive embodint of evil was wreaking havoc, and facing it was a burly knight wrapped in a small white fla.
"What's going on…" muttered lissa, but her thoughts were quickly set aside because of the intense pain she felt throughout her body.
Right, she had... she had wanted to pass her understanding of Law to her father...
lissa saw the flas burning all over her body and imdiately returned to her senses. However, she vaguely felt that sothing was amiss. Shouldn't she have reached her father already?
Was it all an illusion caused by my obsession... No. Now isn't the ti to think about all that. All I need right now is to advance!
lissa abandoned her thoughts and continued onward, revealing a relieved smile on her face.
But at the sa ti, she could also feel that her body could no longer hold on and death was approaching her soon.
In the distance, Joseph got to his feet once more after being knocked down. His face was blank, but his expression abruptly changed when he saw the familiar figure of the girl wrapped in crimson flas.
At this mont, even if he didn't understand what was happening, his paternal instincts made him run toward lissa without a mont's hesitation.
"lissa... lissa!!!"
Joseph cried out and ran toward his daughter with all his might.
Wilde's eyes widened in anger as he imdiately felt the unstable dinsional turbulence around him—Why?!!
The massive body let out an inhuman roar, tentacles waving as it directed the destructive darkness to attack the two knights again.
It doesn't matter, Wilde thought. My victory is already set in stone. I won't be affected even if ti is rewound. This victory has already been destined! No one can change it!
lissa's red hair danced with the flas, fusing together with the burning blazes. Standing within the darkness that represented Eventuality, she was like a blooming red lotus of hellfire.
"It's too late!" Wilde sneered, directing the dark tide to surge toward lissa. "Your end has already been decided right from the start, and nothing will change this ti!"
That's right, lissa didn't hesitate at all. Once more, she burned her own life force to make the darkness around her retreat. As long as she moved forward, she was destined to die before arriving.
But to lissa, choosing death was never sothing to be afraid of. Nothing was scary as long as she could save her father.
The choice she made previously wouldn't change even if she was given the chance of a do-over.
Joseph roared, even more furiously than the last. Using all his strength, he split open the darkness obstructing him and rushed toward his daughter.
No—
Not like this—
Don't let lissa die in front of again!
Don't—
Joseph was getting closer to lissa, but he was getting increasingly desperate as the power of Law started to get restored. The red-haired girl smiled at him, but the insurmountable distance of a few ters was like an unconquerable chasm.
His open arms would never be able to embrace his daughter.
"Bahahaha…! Useless, useless, useless! It's useless, Joseph. Even if we start over, the outco will still be the sa!" Wilde cackled with laughter, mocking their useless efforts.
Suddenly—
A massive power gushed out from the many tiny dream fissures all around. It was Haniel being pulled out by the torrent of ti.
BOOM—
A Supre-rank transcendent existence that could control ti was squashed and exploded in an instant. Power of unquantifiable Law surged all around like a flood, causing the fragile barrier enchantnt between dream and reality of the Dream Creators to thoroughly collapse. The largest dream fissure within the area caused the entire dinsion to distort.
At the sa ti, Norzin that had been ravaged multiple tis by the two Supre-rank transcendent beings was already on the verge of being destroyed. At this mont, the steel fra supporting the entire city was impacted once more.
Kraackk... Screech...
The tal fra was rapidly rusted by the domain of Eventuality, instantly becoming unable to support itself and snapped right in the middle.
The underground fra that supported the man-made city collapsed instantly, causing the entire subterranean layer to shift several hundred ters forward and collide.
Rumble...
The ground shook and tilted, and a huge invisible force suddenly pushed lissa forward.
The girl's eyes widened in surprise. In the next second—
She fell into a warm, familiar, reassuring embrace.
Law ford and the burning stopped.
The powerful old knight's face was covered in tears. He revealed a blank expression as he hugged his child in disbelief.
"lissa, lissa… is that you?" The father's hands trembled as he hugged lissa tightly, so worked up he couldn't speak properly, as if he was holding his own child for the first ti. "Great, this is just great..."
"Dad… What do you an is it ? Of course it's ! Your best daughter has co to save you!" lissa stuck out her tongue, revealing an adorable smile as she raised her arms and hugged Joseph back.
