Offer a savior to the infinite world!

Be it Jotaro's cold gaze, Lily's determined gaze, Star Platinum's heavy punch and the swinging Sword of the King Chosen, or Lin Yi following closely behind, at this moment, everyone's movements stopped.

Time stopped flowing once again.

No, it is not actually accurate to describe it as stopped.

The injuries to the body healed quickly.

The bones that had been shattered were reunited.

Time is going backwards.

The flow of time in the entire world is flowing in the opposite direction at this moment, resetting everything to a moment that has not yet happened.

And this is one of the powers wielded by the spiritual king named Atreus.

Bang!

Amid the sound of violent explosions, Atreus suddenly activated the power of his gloves, knocking back Jotaro and Lily in the blooming flames, while he himself retreated one after another, retreating a long distance.

"I see. Your ability is to reverse time, and the upper limit of the reversal is 3 seconds."

Jotaro was not in a hurry to chase after him. He looked at Atreus, who was panting and covered in blood not far away, and spoke in a calm tone.

"And your ability is to pause time for a total of 5 seconds."

Atreus also spoke, reaching out to wipe the blood off his face, his expression looking very relaxed.

"Hey, he has the ability to turn back time?!"

Lily was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised by Atreus's ability type.

"It's just one of his abilities. He should have other abilities that are also related to time."

Jotaro adjusted his hat while saying this, his eyes fixed on Atreus in front of him.

Although he could not remember the time before the reversal, he had a vague memory of activating the time stop. Judging from the injuries on Atreus, he should have been attacked continuously by his own double while time was stopped. Well, he should have fought for the full five seconds, but the injuries on his body looked like they were only for two seconds at most. So it can be inferred that he reset the time by three seconds, and this reset would include the five seconds of his own paused time.

In other words, the other person's ability to manipulate time and your own ability to manipulate time can affect each other.

Then thinking further, if abilities can influence each other, then when they exert their abilities next time, will they gradually be able to sense and even interfere with each other's abilities?

This is not something Jotaro has never experienced before. A few years ago, when Jotaro was only 17 years old, he had just awakened his Stand and for the sake of his family, he had to fight against an extremely terrifying enemy who possessed the powerful power to stop time.

At first, Jotaro had no idea how to fight this enemy, as he had no idea what kind of power he possessed. But as his comrades sacrificed their lives to tell him about the enemy's abilities, he discovered that he could sense when the enemy stopped time, and gradually was able to move even when the enemy stopped time.

The same or similar abilities, after being cracked, seem to weaken each other's effects. Although it is not clear whether there is a similar effect in this world, we have to guard against such a possibility.

"Oh my, it's the same again?"

Jotaro couldn't help but sigh and reached out to adjust his hat again.

Chapter 51: Time turbulence?

Turn back time to before everything happened.

Lin Yi originally thought that he would not encounter this kind of strange ability which could be called unreasonable so soon.

But if we think in terms of [manipulating time], many details of the previous encounter will become clear. Jotaro and the enemy also have the ability to control time, and Lin Yi also had a certain understanding of time-related abilities through resonance earlier. Because of this, when Atreus suddenly appeared and attacked them, they felt the weird feeling of everything fast-forwarding and reversing.

If we think further, then the power of this enemy lies in the ability to [fast forward] and [rewind] time?

Jotaro tested the reverse time and found it to be 3 seconds, so is the fast-forward time the same?

"You actually cracked it so quickly, you guys are really amazing."

Atreus shook his head slightly, showing a somewhat emotional expression at this moment.

"I heard that when the savior system sends out saviors, it will definitely send saviors who can just complete the mission. That means all of you together should be able to find a way to deal with me. Tsk, this is really unpleasant. It feels like running to the live broadcast of a global sports competition without clothes, being seen clearly by everyone and being randomly commented on."

Being hit continuously by Star Platinum's heavy punches did not seem to cause him much trouble. Although his body had suffered a lot of damage, at this moment Atreus still stood steadily, and his breathing was not disordered at all.

If we go back in time, how should we deal with such an enemy?

Lin Yi, holding the hourglass in his hand, lowered his head and looked at the slowly flowing sand, thinking.

The opponent does not have the ability to heal quickly, but his physical strength is quite amazing. He can still stand steadily after being hit by Jotaro. In other words, if you want to cause damage to his body, you can either rely on extremely high-intensity attacks to break through his defense directly, or you can only take a different approach. Well, the special engraved bullets I use should have some effect, but the specific effect cannot be confirmed for the time being.

However, simply causing damage is far from enough to defeat the opponent. The reason why the Noble Phantasm released by the Cursed Arm failed is probably because it retreated directly to the time before the Noble Phantasm was activated after success and then counterattacked. Therefore, after causing real damage to the enemy in front of you, you must either prevent the opponent from retreating within 3 seconds, or make the attack last for more than 3 seconds. For example, just now, after Jotaro used the Ola for 5 seconds after the time stop, the opponent's retreat can only cancel the injury in the last 3 seconds.

So--

After a moment of silence, the battle began again in an instant.

Atreus stepped back suddenly, but Lily caught up with him without hesitation.

The blade swept across, and the air current tore off the metal plates piece by piece. This time, Atreus did not put up a fierce resistance, but simply parried a little before retreating. With a loud explosion, the rooms and corridors on the entire ship were pierced and torn apart one after another, and the spreading flames and black smoke spread to the surroundings.

Under normal circumstances, the tourists should have fled in all directions because of this terrifying noise. But in fact, at this moment, under the guidance of Gu Mingdijue, the tourists were queuing in an orderly manner to enter a light blue space door, which was the shelter connected to Basher's key.

Although the size of the shelter itself may not be large enough, the warehouse in the shelter (the canned meat and livestock in it have been completely destroyed) is extremely large. It is no problem to fill the shelter itself and the warehouse with more than 10,000 people in a short period of time. As for whether these people will cooperate, it is not a problem at all under the power of Gu Mingdi Jue, a big monster who controls memory and mind, especially when he can further enhance his power through the magic resonance of Lin Yi, it is not a troublesome thing to control the tourists and staff on the ship to transfer.

About 7000 people have been evacuated, and only a little more than half will be evacuated.

For safety reasons, Gu Mingdi Jue did not leave the space door open here, but closed it and took the key to the next gathering area for tourists and staff.

And it was at this time that Atreus, who was fighting and retreating with the saviors, suddenly stopped.

"That one of you, Kumeiji Kaku, she has already transferred two-thirds of the people on the ship, right?"

Atreus suddenly asked.

"what?"

Lily, who was only focused on the battle, did not expect the other party to suddenly bring up this topic, and she was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

But Jotaro reacted immediately, frowning and showing a puzzled expression.

How did he find out?

In such a fierce battle, they were able to discover that one person was missing from their side, and they could also find out what the other side had done.

It's like being able to directly see what the other person is doing.

"As for me, I actually prefer efficiency. It's too much trouble to deal with an entire ship of people, so I let Niltat and Bashir die. I originally just wanted to stir up chaos and reap the benefits, but your actions have completely ruined my plan. In this case, I can only do it myself. Well, this way, the number should be just right."

After the words fell, something began to spread along with Atreus's footsteps.

Towards this corridor, towards every part of the ship, in an instant, completely covered the entire ship, something that could not be seen but could be clearly felt.

"When it flows, let it be disordered."

Then, Atreus spoke softly, and before the rescuers could take any action, the thing that was covering them exploded.

No sound.

There is no such thing as a brilliant light.

It's just that things themselves have changed.

In Jotaro Kujo's eyes, in Lin Yi's eyes, in everyone's eyes, everything around them changed in an instant.

The walls aged and were covered with rust in an instant, the pipes melted into unforged hot molten steel, the broom that fell on the ground turned into a lush little tree, and in the fruit plate in the room on one side of the corridor, half of the fresh fruits had rotted at this moment, while the rest had generally shrunk and turned into unripe fruit seedlings.

The sound appeared the next moment.

Accompanied by an extremely violent explosion, the entire ship collapsed instantly.

Rumble, rumble——

Lin Yi clearly saw that everything on the ship had changed its state at this moment, becoming completely different from its original state, but seemed to have some connection with the state before the change.

It was as if the temporal structure of all things was completely disrupted at this moment. Some things were traced back to their past forms, while others experienced months, years, or even countless years of changes in an instant, resulting in tremendous changes.

He destroyed the structure of this giant ship in terms of time?

[Star Platinum World! ]

Jotaro has already taken action at this moment. Time stopped in an instant. The man strode forward and with the powerful force of Star Platinum, he rushed directly towards Atreus in front of him and quickly crossed through the corridor that was violently collapsing and deforming due to the change in its nature.

Close the distance, and then cause huge damage to the opponent before the opponent's 3-second backtracking, forcing the opponent to use backtracking to return the ship to its original state.

Jotaro's thoughts were quite clear, but the moment his ability was activated, Atreus did not stop moving. Instead, he jumped suddenly and took a big step back in an instant, away from the range of Star Platinum.

Although it was only a short movement of less than 1 second, at this moment, in addition to Jotaro and Lin Yi, a third person who could move in time stop did appear, and unfortunately, it was their enemy.

Sure enough, just as I could sense his time manipulation, he could also gradually adapt to my abilities. This was a kind of mutual adaptation between people with the same type of abilities.

Taking another step forward, Jotaro arrived in front of the enemy at the end of the 5-second time stop. Star Platinum swung his fist fiercely, but failed to hit any target. In the blink of an eye, all the objects around that had been changed in nature fell down. The entire huge ship collapsed at this moment, turning into countless small parts on the sea of ​​fog. Jotaro was hit by several steel bars and iron ore, and could only fall downwards relying on the defense of Star Platinum.

"Eula!"

Star Platinum swung his powerful fist upwards, knocking away all the falling objects that were thrown towards Jotaro.

A figure attacked from behind Jotaro in an instant, but Star Platinum turned around and attacked him. The heavy fist collided with the impact steel glove, and the huge force collided and set off a wave of air, creating a vacuum area between the two. Then, Atreus, who had just tried to sneak attack, fell far away into the countless broken objects, and only his voice could be heard from afar.

"The soul is enough. Next, the truth behind the fog will be revealed."

It was a voice that sounded extremely melancholy, as if it had been satisfied, yet also as if there was a sense of meaninglessness and emptiness after the goal had been achieved.

Next came the people who fell with the collapse of the giant ship, or were smashed into a pulp before hitting the water, or had molten iron and the like drenched on their bodies, or sank directly to the bottom of the water under the pressure of heavy objects, and their screams were barely audible amid the whistling and roaring sounds.

Just like the screams of the Guiling people in the human era, or the screams of humans in the Guiling era, no matter how hard you try to listen, you can only hear sounds that are too faint, almost non-existent.

The fog covering the sea slowly dissipated at this moment.

Chapter 52: Lost World?

Everything happened in just a few extremely short seconds.

The entire ship disintegrated, its structure completely collapsed, and scattered across the sea into countless pieces.

The tourists and staff who had not yet been brought into the shelter by Gu Mingjijue fell down. In this sudden situation that no one was prepared for, a large number of tourists died, and the souls that Atreus needed to achieve his goal were also filled.

The fog began to dissipate.

Everything around changed at this moment.

In the distance of the boundless ocean, a piece of land suddenly appeared.

A huge white city rose from the ground, with layers of roads crisscrossing each other. Although everything was destroyed, many buildings had collapsed, and the crisscrossing roads were basically in a state of collapse and destruction, there was no doubt that this was a place that did not exist in the real world, but belonged to a different time and space.

Is this the place Atreus is trying so hard to reach?

Floating up from the sea, Lin Yi climbed up a tree trunk and looked at Atreus who was standing in the floating ruins not far away, gazing at the city in the distance.

For a moment, he felt a little dazed again, and Atreus, who was not far away, had disappeared, as if he had never been there.

Immediately lowering his head and looking at the hourglass that he had carefully preserved, Lin Yi clearly saw that the amount of sand in the hourglass was different from the amount he had just seen. Well, if we calculate based on the degree of difference, it is about... 3 seconds.

"Can you cross time and directly arrive at a time 3 seconds later, and make it so that people around you can't realize that you have crossed time?"

It's like deleting these 3 seconds directly. It's really an unreasonable power. This kind of conceptual thing is really troublesome.

Thinking like this, Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the large area of ​​sea that was dyed red not far away. The expression on his face gradually became cold.

The number of survivors was almost zero, and the search and rescue results showed that no more than 30 survivors were found.

Considering that these people fell into the sea with a lot of steel bars, ore, molten iron and other things, it was quite difficult for so many people to survive. However, this was not something to be happy about. Considering that more people should have survived, these deaths made Lin Yi very unhappy.

“Atres…”

No more words are needed. The only solution to the current situation is to fight to the death.

Maybe he did have some difficulties, maybe he did have his own helplessness, but that had nothing to do with Lin Yi anymore.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill the other person, nothing more.

"Ahem...Mr. Lin Yi..."

The sound of a curse wrist sounded not far away. Lin Yi came back to his senses a little, and quickly found the other party through his teammates' coordinates and came to his side.

The assassin was in a very bad condition at this time. Atreus's attack directly shattered his soul core, so even the Holy Grail Bottle could not save him. Now the body of Hassan the Cursed Arm has begun to dissipate, and it will not be long before he will die.

However, it is not accurate to say that they are dead. These Servants are essentially dead people. It's just that the world where Fujimaru Ritsuka lives has a very unique world consciousness, which allows these dead people to be recorded as [Heroic Spirits], and then summoned by magicians to act as degraded [Servants].

The servants who died here would not actually disappear, but would return to the storage of the Savior System. After the mission was completed, the bodies of these servants would be reshaped, allowing them to return to Ritsuka's side and continue to accompany her. Despite this, Hassan the Cursed Arm was indeed unable to continue participating in this mission. For this assassin with insufficient hard power, his end in this mission was here.

"It's a pity that although I found an opportunity to assassinate him, I was defeated by the enemy's terrible power to control time. But fortunately, I didn't die in front of the Master, so I can still save a little face."

Curse Wrist shook his head slightly and stretched out his hand, allowing Lin Yi to see an illusory heart in the other's hand.

A cursed heart that resonates with the heart of Atreus, created by the treasure [Delusion of the Heart] of Hassan the Cursed Arm.

"The opponent's ability to go back in time prevented my treasure from being activated, but the fake heart has been successfully created. Lord Lin Yi, you have a unique talent that can resonate and control the power of others, so can you resonate with my treasure and control this heart? As long as you get close to a distance of about 20 meters and destroy this heart, the enemy's real heart will explode together. The premise is that Lord Lin Yi can really resonate with my power."
