He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

She glanced behind her at the group of students in the El-Melloi classroom, who were craning their necks and listening intently, and looked troubled.

This isn't just a secret leak; it's a blatant and overt disclosure!

Furthermore, Quetzalcoatl's aversion to spiders likely stems from the legend of being deceived by a spider disguised as a smoke mirror.

Ultimately, Quetzalcoatl hated the Smoke Mirror Tescatlipoca.

"So, keeping an eye on that guy is no problem at all! I just played with this little spider toy in my hand so many times—"

Having said that, he stretched out his palm.

"Huh?"

The leopard-man suddenly realized that his palm was empty.

That guy... he escaped?!

No, could it be that when I jumped up the tree, I carelessly tossed the spider away? No, I have to go find it...

"Miss Leopard Woman, if you turn around and run away like this and don't find it, won't Lord Quetzalcoatl be displeased?"

Luvia's voice sounded from behind.

The leopard-man trembled.

Yeah, what if we don't find it? How can we explain that we didn't just slack off and run away?

Oh no, Kukul is going to beat us up again!

"Luvia-san, help me!"

Luvia: "......"

You American god, why are you spouting island nation honorifics?

Behind us, the wrestling training arena.

Watching this chaotic scene, Flat quietly conversed with Thea within his body:

"Well done, Luvia! She really held off the leopard man! We're one step closer to successfully rescuing everyone and getting us out of here! My partner, it's all up to you now!"

I promised I'd give it a try, but success isn't guaranteed.

Thea answered.

The words resonated from the depths of Frat's heart.

At the same time, magic circuits quietly extended from his body, like strange lines growing in the wind, faintly echoing the great source of magic in the atmosphere.

Spell activation—

The world in Flatt's eyes suddenly slowed down rapidly, almost freezing in place.

Or rather, Flatt's 'time' has been hyper-accelerated.

"Wow! Aibo, you're amazing! Your abilities are incredible!" Flat jumped up excitedly.

[It's one thing for others, but what are you so surprised about? It's not like this is the first time you've seen something like this.]

Thea said calmly.

"Time flow manipulation".

This is one of the great magic spells that Thea possesses, approaching the realm of magic.

By continuously providing magic, he can freely accelerate or slow down the things successfully chosen by magic.

This kind of acceleration and deceleration is not only limited to matter, but also includes various concepts such as magic, thinking speed, etc.

This is his unique ability as a new primate.

Only someone like him, who views the entire world as a vast magical system, can easily intervene in it, decompose, change, absorb, and so on, to achieve all sorts of incredible operations.

Although there are certain limitations, time flow manipulation is also within its scope.

Just as Thea was about to continue, the atmosphere suddenly became turbulent, and an astonishing invisible wave expanded from the city's interior in an instant, spreading across the sky and the ground!

[Wait... the world... is about to be frozen in time!]

At this moment, an ominous premonition brought about by an unknown anomaly engulfed her entire body, causing Thea to be on high alert.

Although the source of that fluctuation was unknown, and whether it targeted them, Theia would not allow Frat or those Frat cherished to possibly lose their lives.

[Empty Tales/Forgetfulness Transformed into a Festival!]

Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again...

Through this powerful magic that can be stacked multiple times, Thea accelerated time to its maximum maneuverable value in an instant!

The green leaves and petals of flowers, grass, and trees swaying in the wind slowed down rapidly, and the flapping of birds' wings was almost invisible... In the super-accelerated vision, the surrounding environment was almost frozen!

And it quickly collided with the ripples that had frozen everything.

Then, the two cancel each other out.

This effect only slightly improved the stiffness in Frat's body.

At the same time, Thea also sensed a subtle aura that flashed by within the city.

No, it can't be called an aura. From the perspective of the new primates, it was a being within the city that activated an ability with a wavelength similar to his spell, creating a magical resonance between them.

Wait, could it be that... other new primates have been born besides him!?

Volume 1: Chapter 123 You matched up again, didn't you?

Lu Ming gazed at the world.

The world frozen in time is like a carefully preserved three-dimensional photograph, a large ecological specimen containing all kinds of flowers, birds, insects, and plants, and a giant gray net that fills the space between heaven and earth to capture all things.

However, the circuits pulsate, the divinity expands, and the elements surge.

"...!"

In a certain instant, something invisibly shifted the phenomenon, tearing apart the giant net that had stagnated time and enveloped everything.

The one-eyed deity was immediately struck by the unbelievable and secretly felt a chill.

......

A moment ago.

When Lu Ming was pondering countermeasures against Odin, he once asked himself these questions.

—What is time zero in essence?

In Lu Ming's view, this problem is an unavoidable hurdle if Odin's threat is to be resolved.

From Chu Tianjiao to Angers, they were all heroes in the world of dragon slaying, yet they all stumbled and fell here.

This forced Lu Ming to be wary and alert.

According to the basic theory of Word of Power in the original novel "Dragon Raja", all Word of Power is achieved by controlling a certain element.

However, there is no corresponding "time element" in this world. The principle behind time zero is unknown.

The following, like Time Zero, can manipulate the flow of time.

Firstly, the Dragon Raja lore mentions that monks in the Himalayas can acquire a mysterious ability called "Kalachakra" through practice. This ability allows them to manipulate the flow of time, but details are unclear...

Secondly, among the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy lies the incredible realm of "time reversal."

This is so outrageous and excessive that it makes one wonder why the Black King didn't use time reversal to change his fate when he failed...

Therefore, at first glance, the ability to time seems mysterious and described everywhere, yet it is often impossible to study and analyze.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming decided to try to deduce a trace of the true nature of time from the clues in the original work.

"Odin in the era of 'Dragon King 1' achieved the feat of 'time reversal', which is mainly reflected in two points: first, after being killed by Jormungandr, he reversed time and resurrected; second, after discovering that he was no match for the second phase of the Black King, he chose to restart the world."

"What's the difference between this and the previous zero time? — His ability to manipulate time has increased!"

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Ming.

The split thinking brought about by multiple personalities allows him to consider problems from different angles and quickly analyze and discern the reliability of information.

"So how does Odin in this period differ from Odin in previous periods? — He devoured the remains of Constantine and the White King!"

"And what is the difference between Odin before and after? — He devoured his own kind, making his elemental authority even greater!"

"Simply consuming Constantine would only grant one the authority of the fire element, and simply consuming the White King would only grant one the authority of the mental element."

"But don't forget, the power of time may seem absent, but it is actually contained within all authority!"

"The five elements constitute all things in the world, and it seems that all things operate in the flow of time... However, isn't this flow of time also the evolution and rhythm of the elements?"

Suddenly, Lu Ming remembered the famous "Laplace's Demon" in physics—if you know the position and momentum of every atom in the entire universe, you can deduce the past and future of all events in the universe.

In other words, as long as we understand all the movements of microscopic particles, the past, present, and future will be laid out before us, and time will disappear.

Similarly, the world of dragons is a world of elements.

A world where the flow of time can be manipulated.

Upon closer examination of such a world, time seems not to exist. Or rather, time is merely an external appearance.

What truly exists are the events and phenomena in the real world that occur in sequence and sequentially.

The movement of elements produces phenomena and triggers various events.

And an almost infinite number of events are interconnected...

It constructs the past, present, and future of the entire world. The so-called "flow of time" is merely a physical effect achieved by manipulating these elements and phenomena from a deeper, more underlying perspective or a higher dimension.

In other words, from a microscopic perspective, the movement of elements produces countless phenomena. From a macroscopic perspective, arranging these phenomena in chronological order constitutes the long river of time in this world!

The compilation of events is the truth of time!

Now I completely understand.

"I got it!"

Lu Ming's feet touched the ground.

The elemental personality returned to the body from behind the hospital, bringing with it a vast amount of experience that, as an extensional circuit, manipulates countless elements.

And that's exactly what he needs.

From the perspective of elements, we can explore experiences that trigger events and influence the world.

Perhaps relying on a single element of personality is not enough in scale and would be difficult to implement.

But Lu Ming vaguely felt...

Within this body, the soul, still undergoing transformation (divinity), can help one better understand and utilize external elements, influencing events and impacting the world.

Perhaps if successful, it could, in some way, help this soul's transformation and growth.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming immediately put his idea into practice, drawing upon the massive amount of elements around him to try and interfere with a rolling grain of sand at his feet, slowing its movement down in terms of time.

However, nothing happened.

It seems there's something wrong with how it's being done.

Of course, it's more likely that this is the first attempt, and it's quite unlikely to succeed on the first try when venturing into the realm of time.

"...It seems like something is missing."

Lu Ming looked somewhat worried.

The ability to time is extremely difficult, and failure is understandable. The "Kalachakra" attained by Himalayan monks through practice is not something that can be achieved overnight.

But now that he's facing a formidable enemy, where does he find the time to cultivate?

Besides, even if there really is such a sacred place of cultivation that can pass on the power of time, there still needs to be someone to demonstrate it as a teaching guide, right?

Hmm? A demonstration?

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then was struck by a memory.

I almost forgot, someone has already demonstrated the so-called time manipulation ability! That was Odin when we first met!

However, decades have passed, and although I remember this event, the specific feelings and the changes in the elements of the scene at that time have become somewhat vague.

Besides, at that time he was a complete novice who hadn't yet cultivated and knew nothing, so his perception of the elements wasn't very keen, and recalling it thoroughly wouldn't have been of any use.

Suddenly, Odin on the other side raised the tip of his spear and pointed it at him.

The invisible ripples of time spread and diffused, enveloping me...
