Chapter 101 Time Emperor

Can you understand how much fear a person who knows his life span will face?

What fear and anxiety you will feel.You can clearly see your time is passing when you go to the bathroom.You can also feel life leaving your body little by little while eating.No matter what you do, the tiny hands will move little by little, and nothing can stop the brass clock from turning.

You will be more and more crazy because you know your death date.

You will be more and more desperate, because you know your death.

You don't even want to do anything because you know your death is due.

You can't even bring up the courage to commit suicide because you know when you will die.

No one wants to die, everyone wants to live.People who don't know when they will die can squander their lives and time without any scruples, live a life of nothingness and joy, and then let out a sigh when the old death is approaching.

'Ah, this is the time of my death. '

Then the person dies.

Ignorance is the greatest joy.

What kind of despair would it be if you knew the date of your own death?

Feeling the passing of my own life, no matter what I do, there is no way to keep the pointer that is gradually moving forward.Even if that god were a little bit worse and used clocks to express the journey of human life, maybe no one would survive in this world.

No one can bear the fear of the hour hand gradually moving towards zero, especially if it is the footsteps of fate.Even the most top-notch willpower can't resist the power of time.Have you lost the courage to live?Not yet, because there is still time.But do you have the courage to live?Naturally, there is no such thing, because I saw the time.

Time is the most beautiful, but also the cruelest.Human beings always want to know more, but when the moment of omniscience and omnipotence begins, how much fear does it bring to people?No one has thought about this kind of thing, just want to know.

Toxins from the human spirit, the common defect of every intelligent being is curiosity.

Ignorance is the greatest happiness, and that is why.

"I obey."

There wasn't even much hesitation, and the crispness was somewhat beyond Sorost's own imagination.As if he wanted to do that a long time ago, he knelt down on one knee and held up the long sword at his waist with both hands and handed it to the sage in black robe in front of him.

Because the person in front of you can manipulate time.Every sage can manipulate time with ease.Their lifespan will be extremely extended, as long as they don't have certain wills in their hearts, they won't even be able to get the death they deserve in this world.Most of the dead sages used themselves as experiments, but they themselves would not die of old age naturally.

Basically, each of them can easily manipulate the rewinding and speeding up of time.Even being able to resurrect the dead and turn mountains and rivers back, these things are not impossible.Because Sorost knew very well that a great wizard he had seen used a magic circle to turn the entire mountain into powder out of anger.And the weak young man who is a sage can easily return his age to the youngest time.This is also one of the basics for mages to dominate the world.

No one can resist the temptation of time, not even God.

"A very wise choice, Sorost."

Facing the burly old man who fell silent and raised his weapon with both hands, the black-robed sage smiled weakly.

Action always takes time and energy. When a person faces a problem, his brain has already started to make a decision.Because people always consume time no matter what they do, and time represents lifespan to some extent.

As an old man, Sorost is very aware of this replacement method, after all, his life and spirit are there.So for the sage, this kind of negotiation is not difficult.There is always a replacement price for a person who wants to give his life. In their eyes, things that are considered noble are replaced with their own time.Does anyone but crazy faith displace their time.

Obviously, Sorost is not that kind of fanatic.If it is that kind of fanatic, there is no way to activate the killing wave that is absolutely created for killing and strengthening.That kind of thing exists only for the sake of being brave and ruthless.Like a real criminal who never reflects on his sins, he just regrets why he got caught.And the criminal named Sorost, although no one can defeat him in reality, was captured by the monster of time.

All open-mindedness and spiritual awareness are based on the fact that one is about to die, it's that simple.

"Actually, I have two ways to help you, Sorost."

Looking at the Juggernaut in front of him, Kaos smiled slightly.

As a moral quasi-sage, he naturally has various means to strengthen Sorost's ability.But in the final analysis, it was for research, so he thought about it and chose the two most secure solutions from it.

"First, I will greatly develop your killing intent, completely make up for your old soul, and let you have infinite killing intent. It is the so-called infinitely strong killing intent. In that case, you will have Hiring Mei's fighting power with the great wizard will greatly prolong your life. As a price, your spirit will become quite cold, are you willing to do this?"

"...I want to see how the second one is." Sorost was not reckless, but cautiously asked to see the second one.After all, something like infinite killing intent doesn't sound so reliable, and from the performance point of view, it needs to distort one's own spirit to do it.Sorost also wanted to be a normal person, not a scumbag who sneered at countless innocent people.At least one has to leave a little bottom line to be called a human being. Sorost has always thought so.

"The second is a very pure method."

As if he had expected this, the black-robed sage smiled and took out a not-so-delicate pocket watch from his pocket.

It looks like an ordinary pocket watch that can be seen everywhere, with some half-understandable inscriptions on the cover decorated with silver light.There is also a hollow silver ring on it as a hole for the chain, so that people can hang this little thing.

But Sorost was as cautious as a bomb, and took the pocket watch bit by bit.After all, it was something a quasi-sage took out, even if he activated the wave of killing intent to defend, it was considered a normal behavior.Kaos naturally didn't mind his cautious state, but pushed the hand with a smile on his face, indicating that he could open the pocket watch.

Looking at the appearance of the quasi-sage, Sorost cautiously opened the cover of the pocket watch.What is exposed inside is the unremarkable dial and hands.It was the pointer above that made Sorost feel something was wrong.

"59:48:[-], is this watch broken?"

With some doubts, he read the scale above, and Sorost looked at the sage in front of him and raised his own doubts.

But the possibility of such a thing is very slim.What a sage can take out cannot be damaged at all.It can only show that there is something in this seemingly inconspicuous pocket watch that Sorost does not know about.

"That pocket watch, I decided to call it a monthly watch. The pointer on it marks all the time in your life. That is, twelve hours. When the scale on the dial moves towards twelve o'clock, your destiny will be Declare the end. From now on, there will be no more legends about the Sword Saint Sorost in this world. Do you understand what I mean when I say this?"

Looking at the pointer that had just jumped to 49 seconds in his hand, Sorost nodded silently.When the hands of the clock move towards twelve o'clock, the life of the sword master Sorost will disappear.It may become something like a wraith or a murderous fluctuating spirit that remains in this world, but the human being, the sword master Sorost, will die completely.Even if his whole body is intact, he will also disperse his spirit due to the end of his lifespan, turning into a soul body and leaving this decayed body.

"It's good that you can understand. You'd better remember what you said next. Because the next thing is more important to you." Kaos nodded, and took out a handle from his sleeve that looked a bit similar A red object like a fire stick.

It was a gun.

Just like the pocket watch, there was nothing noteworthy about this gun.

Some twisted parts have been hastily fashioned from dull silver metal on a plain mahogany base.Roughly made without even pulling out the rifling but a smooth smoothbore.With this gun there is no way to accurately hit any enemy within ten meters.

The only thing worth noting is that there is a passage engraved on the bottom of the mahogany handle in an unknown but extremely elegant language in gold.But Sorost, a sword master who can only cut people, barely knows how to read and write Imperial and Dwarf languages, and knows nothing about other prophecies.However, the Juggernaut subconsciously felt that it might be a passage written in elven characters.

"This gun can be used a total of twelve times. The method of use is to shoot you in the head. Each use will set the scale on your monthly watch back by one hour, which is equivalent to an extra hour of time. And now I will use my ability to help you rewind and fix your time at the peak of time four. At that time, you should be a young man of 25 and six years old. A total of twelve shots and your original lifespan It can bring you more than 120 years of life. And you basically don't have to pay any price for this, would you like it?"

"I am willing!"

Sorost agreed without hesitation.

This kind of courage made the look of appreciation in the quasi-sage's eyes more intense.

"Then you have chosen to use distorted time to prolong your life. I will help you wind up the monthly watch now. I hope you will not regret this choice in your future life." Kaos said The Juggernaut smiled slightly.

"Your life will change forever in this moment."

Under Sorost's grateful eyes, Kaos stretched out his withered palm and raised it upwards.As if calling for something, an incantation was murmured in a low voice.The surrounding space suddenly appeared layers of strange ripples like a lake, and began to gradually spread to the surrounding space, filling the space around Kaos in the blink of an eye.

Sorost could feel the time and space around him gradually distorting.The specific manifestation is that the square bricks under the man's feet are changing shape rapidly. The unfired clay form turns into weathered powder in the blink of an eye, and turns into a raging flame in the next moment.Even he himself could feel the gradually distorted power of time on his body, gradually aging his flesh and blood, and in the next moment it became as delicate and delicate as a newborn baby.

There is no majesty, only the weirdness of the changes.Sorost looked longingly at the space behind Kaos, which gradually became broken and distorted with the ripples.He could feel what was in it.That was the power he wanted most in his life, but he could never get it.

The quasi-sage is in the center of the time ripple but does not appear to be affected in any way.He stood firmly on the ground, smiling at the changes in time and space around him.Under the envious eyes of the Juggernaut, the raised palm waved down gently.

The product hidden behind the ripples quickly broke through the barrier of the space and appeared behind Kaos.There was an impact sound similar to the opening of a clock, and the disk-like object floated steadily behind Kaos.Accompanied by the gradually stabilizing space around it, it rotates as steadily as it has been since ancient times, bringing a trace of bronze order to the world, allowing the surrounding time and space to be controlled by the black-robed man in an orderly manner, gradually moving towards The ending he wanted.

Time, perfect, absolute, incapable of being grasped, celebrated by all things, now assumes its own entity.The form of the material concept was presented in the way the sage wanted, quietly floating behind the man.According to his wishes, he gradually controls the surrounding and even more distant time and space, allowing it to reverse and accelerate freely.

"This is my power, Sorost." Kaos smiled at the stunned Juggernaut.

"This is the embodiment of the power of time... come, Emperor Moment."
