Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1700 Time Sealing Technique (Fourth Update)

But this couldn't go on forever, so Prometheus, inside the crystal coffin, took a deep breath.

Bang!

Suddenly, the crystal coffin lid was kicked open by Prometheus. After the crystal coffin lid flew hundreds of meters away, the almost solidified elemental power inside the crystal coffin emitted a piercing sonic boom and poured out. Then, Prometheus's three-meter-tall perfect body stepped out from it!

His movements, slow and elegant yet exuding domineering authority, left Grimm and Little Eight astonished. Prometheus said in a low voice, "I have over a dozen of these clone projections. Since our opponent is the Wizard King, losing one isn't a great loss for the Demon Hunting Expedition!"

As he spoke, Prometheus extended his left hand and swept it away.

After a moment of spacetime distortion, Prometheus folded space as if it were paper. The originally unconnected electric arcs were controlled by his spacetime power, and they connected and canceled each other out, easily resolving the crisis created by Grin.

Therefore, it is clear that pursuing the rules is the ultimate choice, rather than pursuing offensive power.

Prometheus then stretched his right hand forward suddenly.

An incredible distortion occurred between the spacetime in front of him and Green, ignoring the spacetime between the two. His arm seemed to have entered a spatial tunnel, and his palm appeared out of thin air in front of Green.

Even Grimm's Face of Truth could not make an accurate prediction. This flawless arm sliced ​​through layers of power ripples, tearing through Grimm's protective wizard shield as if it were paper. The skin of the arm was also torn and melted, exposing the semi-biological, semi-mechanical structure inside.

With a "thud," a strong arm suddenly gripped Green's neck.

"Holy crap!"

Xiao Ba let out a scream, not expecting Prometheus's attack to be so unexpected.

In an instant, through his insightful understanding of the essence of truth, Green discovered and pondered many things.

Green did not believe what Prometheus said, that this was really just an ordinary clone of him, and certainly not a clone created by Green similar to the Source of Annihilation.

The moment the skin on his arm broke open after he left the crystal coffin, Grimm, through the essential insight of the Face of Truth, finally deciphered Prometheus's abilities.

Rather than calling this a clone of Prometheus, it's more accurate to say it's a sealing technique used to release the overflowing energy of the ancient true spirit wizards sealed within the Eternal Sky City!

This is a vessel similar to the Metal Destroyer, a pseudo-overlord that requires constant recharging.

The difference is that the Metal Destroyer relies on space-based star destroyers for power, while the Prometheus clones rely on the self-sealed ancient true spirit wizards within the Eternal Sky City. Moreover, their recovery speed is extremely slow, so slow that it takes epochs as the unit of time. The accumulation of these dozen or so clones is no easy feat.

Therefore, since the decision has been made to engage in a true battle with Grimm in its full potential, then regardless of victory or defeat, it is as if Grimm has activated his self-sealing technique. The fate of this clone will inevitably be the exhaustion of its foundation, turning it into a mere vessel for a Saint Mark-level mechanical puppet. And during this period, the greater the damage it can inflict on Grimm, the more deterrent it will be.

Within the Eternal Sky City, there are more than a dozen ancient self-sealed True Spirit Wizards, and naturally, there are also more than a dozen such clones of Prometheus. This is only one of Prometheus's abilities; a first- or second-ring True Spirit Wizard would not be able to create a clone in a short period of time.

As for its true form...

Suddenly realizing something, the composed face beneath Grimm's mask of truth gradually turned solemn and stiffened.

"No wonder even the Black Witch King dared not challenge its might. The ultimate truth, the supreme defensive magic!"

hum!

A protective shield spread out from the Truth Balance Magic Staff in Grimm's hand, and Prometheus's right hand, which had been gripping Grimm's neck, was powerfully repelled by this shield.

At the same time, a blurry, bloody afterimage appeared beneath Green's feet, and with a "snap," he firmly grasped Prometheus's time-traveling hand, laughing loudly, "The essence of ancient wizards, mixed with unknown mechanical craftsmanship, makes this blood truly unique!"

Prometheus's expression suddenly changed, and at the same time, he seemed to have made up his mind. After retracting his right arm, he actually abandoned his hand, withdrew from the spacetime rift, and severed the connection between his hand and arm.

Meanwhile, the Blood Rain clone, which was greedily diluting the bloodline of this arm, was tightly grasped by the hand and dragged toward the superconducting time fault.

"A three-thousand-year time-sealing technique! Hmm..."

The power of time nourished his hands, transforming them into a protective shield that enveloped the Blood Rain clone.

Prometheus's expression was somewhat grim. The three-thousand-year time-sealing technique, which cost him an arm, was reduced to only twenty years of effect due to the Blood Rain clone's fierce struggle. He had wasted twenty years of the Blood Rain clone's time, banishing it to this place twenty years in the future. It was similar to the effect of summoning fate, but in essence, it was completely different.

On the other hand, Green himself also gasped in shock.

The Blood Rain clone had clearly been resisting with the Omnipotent Soul, and it seemed to be quite effective. Although the sealing effect seemed to be greatly reduced as a result, it was still successfully sealed, without even giving itself much of a chance to resist.

In other words, this is a time-sealing technique that is guaranteed to succeed, similar to a summoning of destiny!?

If I hadn't managed to deflect the opponent's touch with absolute defense in time, the one who would have been sealed would likely be myself after sacrificing this clone to unleash the Time Sealing Technique. Although I would have had a stronger resistance, the opponent would have consumed far more spacetime power, and in those decades, the opponent would have had enough time to accomplish many things.

Green's tricolor pupils contracted; this old man was no simpleton!

"You're really in the way. Let this ancient mechanical legion play with you for now."

As Prometheus spoke, a legion of metal mechanical puppets suddenly burst forth from before him amidst the distortion of space and time. These were originally high-level puppets accumulated by the Wizarding World to fight against the Far Side. However, as the Wizarding World merged with the Metal Destroyer civilization, upgraded high-level mechanical puppets and metal robots gradually replaced the Wizarding World's former reserves. These outdated mechanical puppet legions were about to be replaced, so it was not a pity to let them be squandered.

"Huh!? Just playing around?"

As if echoing the cries of Little Eight on his shoulder, Grimm saw the mechanical legion rushing towards Prometheus. He temporarily put aside the Blood Rain clone that was suffering from the Time Seal spell, and with a mocking expression on his lips under the Mask of Truth, he swung the Truth Balance Magic Staff with a powerful magic infusion!

"The profound truth, the art of creating something from nothing, summoning an army of hundreds of thousands of metal terminators!"

Facing Prometheus from afar, a massive legion of metal robots with immortality charged toward him.

For a moment, the two true spirit wizards actually engaged in a battle of attrition.

These metal robots and mechanical puppet armies instantly summoned hundreds of thousands of them, and more were still pouring in. These metal mechanical puppet armies were almost equivalent to level three archmages. From the perspective of a low-level wizard, these metal robots were extremely powerful beings, requiring several or even a small army of demon hunter dark wizards to fight against them.

However, from the perspective of these high-ranking wizards, it was merely an overview of the toy battlefield. Two enormous figures in the sky chuckled coldly, their curiosity tinged with a gambling element, directing their own legions to attack the enemy and deploying even more legions when they were losing.

In an instant, the void battlefield between the two True Spirit Wizards turned into a giant millstone, crushing the thousands upon thousands of cold, silent advancing metal robot legions into wreckage, which were then stepped over by the metal robot and mechanical puppet legions behind them.

But for the two observers, this cruelty was just a simple game.
