Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Green remained calm and composed, constantly retreating and skillfully dodging every attack Regulus unleashed using time stop.

The wind was forcibly frozen, the gravel floated in the air, and all that could be heard was Regulus's hysterical roar.

Green's gaze was calm, his lips parted slightly, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, his clear, cool counting echoing distinctly throughout the room:

「1……2……3……4……5。」

【Om—】

The moment the five-second time limit was reached, the stagnant space trembled violently, and Regulus's time power suddenly broke down and became ineffective.

The previously still stones and dust suddenly fell with a crash, making a chaotic, crackling sound.

He was suddenly choked and suffocated.

His muscles were stiff and tense, his face was distorted and pale, and he was completely paralyzed, losing all ability to move.

"it's over."

Green uttered three words in a low voice, and his figure suddenly lunged forward.

【boom! 】

A solid, powerful punch landed squarely on Regulus's face, the dull thud of bones colliding was deafening.

"Ugh—!!"

Regulus screamed and was sent flying backward like a broken string.

[Boom—!!]

The wall suddenly exploded and collapsed, sending debris flying everywhere. He crashed through the thick wall and tumbled and fell onto the street outside, the ground trembling slightly.

Green's feet flashed, and he instantly chased after her, his five fingers clenched, and he raised his fist again, ready to launch an attack.

Regulus, sprawled on the ground, was terrified, his intense fear mingling with overwhelming rage. He glared at the approaching Green, a hoarse, frenzied roar escaping his throat:

"Wait! Hold on a minute!"

He was overwhelmed by excruciating pain and the backlash, but he ignored it all and forcibly squeezed out the last bit of power he had left.

【Zizi——】

Strange fluctuations in time reappeared around him, and distorted patterns appeared in space.

He desperately activated his limited time manipulation ability again, attempting to freeze his body and block Green's next heavy punch.

Regulus's crimson eyes flashed with ferocity. Ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, he charged towards Green like a madman, stepping on the frozen air.

Her fingertips almost touched the hem of Green's clothes; she only wanted to tear her enemy to pieces in this fleeting moment.

But Green had already seen through his tricks, his eyes remained indifferent, and his pace suddenly quickened.

His figure retreated swiftly like a ghost, always keeping a mere foot's distance from Regulus, no matter how fast Regulus ran, he could never get any closer.

The five-second time limit vanished in an instant, and the power of time collapsed once again!

Regulus's momentum abruptly halted, and he froze again, his legs buckling and nearly collapsing to his knees.

Looking at Green, who was so close yet impossible to reach, the frustration and rage in his heart finally erupted.

He threw his head back and let out a piercing roar, his voice hoarse and cracking, his face contorted in a ferocious expression as he howled, "Ah!! Damn it!"

Seeing Regulus frozen in place, hysterically disheveled, a mischievous smirk finally appeared in Green's eyes.

With a stomp of his foot, he quickly approached the other person.

He spun lightly, his right leg whipping out a sharp gust of wind, delivering a clean roundhouse kick that slammed into Regulus's chest and abdomen.

[Bang!]

"Ugh!"

Regulus was powerless to dodge and was kicked away again, his body rolling on the ground, raising clouds of dust, looking extremely miserable.

Green glanced down at Regulus, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said arrogantly:

"Hitting you is like hitting an ant, you know?"

Regulus, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to his feet, his crimson eyes fixed on Green.

A deep-seated resentment welled up in his eyes, and each word was squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with utter hatred: "You forced me to do this!"

Before he finished speaking, he tremblingly pulled a broken glass bottle from his pocket.

The bottle contained a murky liquid that emitted a strange, fishy odor, and just looking at it made one feel uneasy.

"I didn't want to drink that disgusting woman's blood in the first place, but you have violated my rights time and time again. I absolutely, absolutely must kill you!"

Regulus, his face contorted in rage, did not hesitate for a moment. He tilted his head back and poured the murky blood from the bottle into his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed it all.

Green's previously playful expression suddenly darkened, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The playful smile vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn expression.

He clearly sensed the strange energy fluctuations, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes—it was Capela's blood.

It contains rare dragon blood components and contains a violent, mutated power.

Regulus was going to gamble everything, using the dragon blood to mutate his body, forcibly breaking through the power restrictions, extending his time-holding period, and completely breaking the current stalemate.

A violent shockwave exploded outwards from the mutated Regulus, causing countless spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground.

He clenched his mutated, black-scaled giant fist, his fingertips gleaming with a cold light, and the fluctuations of his time-manipulation power were several times stronger than before.

This time, Green didn't leisurely count. Several invisible hands instantly appeared around him, his expression becoming completely solemn, ready for battle.

"die!!"

Regulus unleashed a deafening roar, accompanied by an extremely piercing sizzling sound of spacetime distortion.

His figure vanished suddenly, and the next second, he was almost right in front of Green.

Green retreated rapidly, his invisible hands blocking in front of him layer by layer, but Regulus, with his body mutated by dragon blood, forcefully broke through the obstruction. His sharp claws grazed Green's hair, leaving a shallow cut.

"Damn, they're using mutations again!"

He was startled, clearly realizing that this time the time stop was far longer than the previous 5 seconds!

The dragon blood completely enhanced his physical endurance, forcibly extending the duration of his power, and the previous rhythm was completely disrupted.

Regulus watched as Green finally showed signs of panic, and a sinister smile twisted his distorted face.

The giant fist, imbued with the power of space and time, slammed down on Grin, its roar echoing through the street:

"Weren't you so arrogant? Keep going! I'm going to grind you into mincemeat!"

Green narrowly avoided the oncoming giant fist, retreating several steps as he quickly calculated a way to deal with it.

After his transformation, the duration of Regulus's time-manipulation ability became a complete mystery, and a direct confrontation would only put him at a disadvantage.

He needed to find a new way out, his mind tense, his eyes rapidly scanning his surroundings.

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure in pure white gracefully flying across the rooftops beside the street. The figure's clothes fluttered in the wind without leaving a trace of smoke or dust, and the speed was so fast that only a faint white afterimage remained.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Green's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly calmed down.

The seriousness in his eyes vanished, and a confident smile returned to his lips.

He looked up at Regulus, who was charging towards him in a rage, and his tone became playful and lazy again, full of confidence as he loudly mocked him.

"Heh, Lao Lei, you think you can beat me just because you've become ugly?"
