From the end of the world

Chapter 350 VS Time Stop 2
The "time stop" of this master-level time ability user does not stop the time of the entire universe with his own magic power, but rather enters the universe where time has stopped.

Take movies as an example. The movies we watch seem to be dynamic and continuous pictures, but they are actually connected by static pictures frame by frame. By quickly turning the pages, the discontinuous pictures look like they are continuous.

Although the time in the real world and the time in the movie cannot be generalized, some scientists argue that the time in the real world is not continuous, but there is a smallest unit. This smallest unit of time is called "Planck time". In quantum theory, it is generally believed that there is no time shorter than this. If our world is a movie, then "one Planck time" is "one frame".

If we use a scientific perspective to explain his special ability, it means that he has entered a Planck time and performed multiple actions in it. Of course, if one can perform multiple actions in a Planck time, it means that "timed activities in the smallest unit of time" is a behavior that is self-contradictory in definition. If there is movement in a static world, it means that this is not a static world.

But the ability to fundamentally destroy logic is the incredible power of magic. And because he entered a world where time stopped, it is relatively equivalent to "he stopped the time of the whole world", and even surpassed the latter in some aspects.

Because this skill does not interfere with others, but only moves oneself to other areas, so in principle there is no prerequisite for "making the other party break free". And even if it is the Great Impermanence, the speed of consciousness is definitely not fast enough to perceive every Planck time. In the world where time stops, he is almost free, and combined with the basic abilities of the Great Perfection rank, he can kill a city in an instant, or even kill all the people in a country in an instant.

Considering that the cost of this ability is likely to be very low, he may be able to kill everyone in the world in an instant... But I'm not sure whether this ability has other conditions and costs, so I can only think about it now.

He has at least one weakness, which is impermanence.

It is true that Da Wu Chang cannot perceive the world where time stops, but because Da Wu Chang's perception can transcend time and space to a certain extent, when he intends to kill Da Wu Chang in the stopped world - that is, me, I can reversely perceive his activities in the static world. This is why I can think normally in the static world at this moment.

To put it more concretely, because my body is made of flames, and my flames are my spirit, since my consciousness can function normally, it means that my body can actually move here. Before, I didn't correctly understand my situation, habitually emphasized the materiality of this mimic body, and wanted to break free from the power that didn't exist at all, so I couldn't move; once I found the right angle to enter this world, it was natural for me to be able to move freely.

"Can you always move in a static world?" I asked.

"You can stay here for up to three months..."

He answered reflexively, and then covered his mouth in shock. My question was mixed with the power of the Word Spirit, so as long as I asked it, he couldn't help but answer.

I then asked, "So, if you bring Mingzhu to this world where everything stops, will his lifespan also stop counting down?"

"..."

He did not reply this time. The power of words is still not very effective for the Great Perfection level. It was a surprise attack just now that made him answer. Now he is on guard, just like the normal hypnosis of psychology is ineffective for people with strong psychological defenses.

But even if he didn't answer, I could imagine that if this was all I needed to do to stop the countdown of Mingzhu's lifespan, I would never have the chance to meet this precious time-ability user here.

His eyes became more and more terrified, and I think he has realized that I am not at the great perfection level at all.

"After becoming the Great Impermanence, I may have become a little arrogant. I thought that as long as I had great power, I could deal with any enemy, and the only ones who could pose a threat were other Great Impermanence... You taught me a lesson." I said.

If he didn't want to confront me head-on, but wanted to use this ability to escape from the beginning, or to kill all the people I care about, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to him. There is always someone better than you, even if you become a Great Impermanence, you can't underestimate the Great Perfection level. Thinking of this, I made up my mind - I must not let this enemy go back alive.

Flames suddenly appeared from the air, turning into a giant hand that grabbed the time user. At the same time, as expected of a time user, he instantly burst out with a speed that was more than ten times faster than the full force of the magic gun in the past, crashing into the wall and running away madly.

Perhaps because he was concentrating all his attention on escaping, he did not continue to stop time in vain. The gray filter in my vision faded away, and time began to flow again. The wall did not offer any resistance to him at all, and he smashed through it like air, even smashing the bodies of two guards who did not have time to dodge.

But he was destined not to escape from my palm. The giant flaming hand ignored even the concept of spatial distance and caught him in the palm of my hand even though he had fled far away, as if he were something close at hand.

The strange thing is that although the gray filter of time has faded from all the scenery, only his whole body is still gray. After touching him, I found that he had stopped the time of his own body. In this state, the outside world cannot change his body, which means that he cannot be harmed in any way.

At the same time, in this unchanged state, his movement could not be blocked. I felt that my giant flaming hand was about to be pierced through his body like air.

It's contradictory. Although he has stopped the time of his body, he can still move freely, as if he only enjoys the convenience of stopping time without having to bear its side effects. Can the time ability be used in this way? In this case, his body is not only an invincible shield, but also an invincible spear. Although Yin Yue's ability to "turn fantasy into reality" is already outrageous enough, compared with his power, it is really hard to tell which side is cheating. I wonder if using the magic gun's "must hit, must penetrate" to hit him, can it penetrate his defense?
I didn't feel helpless because of this. The other party probably understood this and ran away without saying a word. Now I can even burn metaphysical things like "cause and effect", and abstract things like "time" are no problem. Since he has frozen his own time, I will burn him and the frozen time together.

At this moment, next to this time ability user, in a seemingly empty space, a large ball of turbid black and red smoke burst out.

As soon as the smoke appeared, it tore the flaming hand that was holding the time ability user, and separated a part of it to wrap it up and protect it. Then, a figure walked out from the black and red smoke.

He was a gloomy man in his 30s or 40s, wearing a black and red shroud, with long black hair. He stared at me intently and made a deep voice as if he had just crawled out of a grave: "Zhuang Cheng..."

This was the first time I had seen this face. Although it was our "first meeting", I recognized his true identity at first sight. The familiar fluctuations of mana and the familiar feeling of a giant told me that this person was the Great Impermanence, Mingzhu, who had invaded Ma Zao's dream and almost killed Ma Zao and me.

I don't know whether he was in the highly "soundproof" laboratory or busy with something else. It seems that he finally realized the changes in the research institute and rushed to the scene.

When the nearby guards saw this scene, they all fell silent. No one dared to step forward. Some even seemed to be secretly retreating, as if they were afraid of being caught up in the dark rage that was about to erupt from Mingzhu.

"You should be grateful that I didn't find you. But you actually had the courage to come here by yourself. Are you tired of living?" Mingzhuo said grimly.

"'I, Zhuang Cheng, will come to find you' - I am here to fulfill this promise," I said.

"Now that you have found me, what can you do next?" Ming Zhuo said in a cold voice, "You have become the Great Impermanence in such a short time. I admit that your achievements are beyond my imagination, but so what?

"After becoming the Great Impermanence, you didn't work hard to improve your skills. You didn't have the patience to lie dormant and grow slowly. You didn't know the value of life, and you didn't know the gap between you and me... yet you dared to run wild in my territory. Even your superficiality is beyond my imagination. It's a huge waste to put such a powerful talent on a fool like you."

"You're talking as if you'll let us go if I stay dormant," I said. "You only have less than ten years left to live. You're the one who's really anxious to come to me, not me, right?"

"This matter is almost public information. So what if I admit it? Yes, I was indeed anxious."

Ming Zhuo was quite magnanimous and admitted his situation. He then continued, "So I will give you a chance now. Although you said I will not let you go, this statement is wrong. At least there is no irreconcilable conflict between you and me. My goal is not you, but the little girl over there.

"Hand over the little girl to me, and all the grudges between you and me, including the fact that you killed my subordinate, the sharpshooter, and your rude invasion of my research institute, will be forgiven.

"Not only that, you can also gain my friendship. No matter what you want, I can find it for you. What do you want? A beauty who can replace that little girl, or a magic weapon with infinite power? As long as I have it, you can ask me for it."

Completely different from his arrogant attitude when he invaded Ma Zao's dream last time, this time he actually negotiated with me, which shows that my becoming the Great Impermanence is a very important matter in his eyes.

"I do have something I want from you, but you don't need to send it to me. I can get it myself."

I stretched out my right hand and pointed at the time user he was protecting.

"It's his life first."

In full view of everyone, flames suddenly erupted from within the body of the time user, turning his body and soul into ashes.

"——Zhuang Cheng!!!" Ming Zhuo was furious.

"The next one is your life, your life is turbid." I said.
