What can you do with a second?
If it is placed in the animation, this fleeting second may be magnified into a whole episode of memory killing; In comics, it can be turned into a two-page oversized close-up; Even if it is a slightly more realistic TV series or movie, it can be repeated and repeated again and again to create a ghost animal effect with special meaning.And in reality, what can happen in the meantime of not even taking a breath, blinking an eye, or even turning a thought a little bit too late?
So, let's take a look at the series of things that will happen in the next second, in order.It was Yi Cheng himself who activated the ability to "stop time" to determine the beginning of time, and the act of snapping his fingers as a symbol of starting and stopping the flow of time was obviously criticized from the beginning, but now it seems reasonable to use it as a symbolic "starting gun".Before the snapping of his fingers had fallen, time had just begun to flow, and the first person to let out a scream was the senior councilor codenamed "Zero" who was pierced through his chest by the cane placed by Yi Cheng in an instant.Both the cane itself and the Zero that originally held the palm of the hand maintained a forward posture before time stood still, and after Yi Cheng's twist, the reaction between the cane that rushed forward in the opposite direction and the zero who continued to keep a frontal charge made the tip of the cane easily pierce her body.The sudden sharp pain, and the sense of crisis of death at the same time, made her only have time to let out a scream, and then the next moment, the ability she relied on to protect herself was already activated.Even if time stops, even if I use my own weapon, it won't change the fact that the person who wants to kill me is you!
It is undeniable that Yi Cheng still made a mistake in his speculation of zero ability.Admittedly, he was correct in inferring that Zero's abilities were "assimilated" rather than "replaced", but in fact, the reason why Zero had previously said that "her abilities were similar to Eve's" was actually because......
What she can really do is not only "assimilation", but also "exchange".Through the "interaction" of energy, everything including physical states is exchanged, which is the real reason why Eve "will replace the existence of the other at the same time as being removed" - while exchanging with each other, the fatal injuries she originally suffered, and the double guarantee of assimilating the opponent's abilities, completely erased the possibility of the opponent's continued existence.This was originally an extremely secure double guarantee, and it was also the reason why Zero was extremely confident in her own ability, but unfortunately this time, when her ability was activated as scheduled, she suddenly realized that she had no way to do it.The energy that was supposed to follow the call of her own ability and assimilate with herself seemed to be reabsorbed by some irresistible force at the moment before the transformation was completed, and the "exchange" she tried to complete through energy interaction was also interrupted for the same reason.This......
No way......
Suddenly aware of something, she had captured the location of the male savior who killed her opponent, codenamed "The Protagonist", within a second.He was supposed to be close to him, but now he appeared on the edge of another battlefield, and the movement of holding his head in his hands looked extremely stupid, but just his position had made Zero fall into unprecedented despair.He found ......
If there is anything in this world that can completely invalidate her abilities, then there is only the ability to override the dimension and turn back time.I never thought that just in such a short contact, just having the most preliminary understanding of his own ability, that guy would have discovered such a flaw and even put it into practice.That's obviously not the point, it's important to ......
Why......
The hourglass didn't notice the situation she was in?!
Why......
The hourglass doesn't have the ability to stop the flow of time in the first place?!
So, as he naturally turned to the hourglass at the end of this second, what Zero saw in his eyes was a scene that was even more unbelievable than what happened to him.Is that......
The companion codenamed "Hourglass", the controller of time, was frightened and swallowed half of his body by the crimson light that passed by him in the range of turning back time.And as her killer weapon, the hourglass containing the sands of time in a special bottle, was neither hanging on her chest at the moment, nor was it held in the palm of her surviving, broken, badly wounded hand.Finally......
What happened......
When the darkness in front of him hit, Zero's body finally collapsed in the last moments of the second.Even if she knew that it was that guy, it was the ghost of the ability to "stop time", but after all, she still couldn't understand the real process in between.And like her, there is another person who can't understand all this.It would be ......
That's it......
Obviously, he activated the ability to turn back time at the last moment, and even the moment when time began to flow again, Hourglass's heart continued to be relieved from the previous moment.The bullet grazed her forehead, and even the energy on the bullet caused her hair to ripple unnaturally in the back of time, but despite this, she finally avoided this attack.In fact, with the two saviors who threatened her the most in every effort to launch an attack that failed, it would have been easy for her to stop the clock and deal with her opponent as long as she stopped the clock and quickly turned back the clock.Can be questioned......
And that's where it comes in.When she subconsciously wanted to retract the fingers that had been torn apart by barely activating her ability and make the hourglass invert for a while, she suddenly found that all that came from her palm was the deep regret that emerged in her heart because of the sudden loss of something important.Hourglass......
It's gone.The strange bottle that had accompanied her since she had been the Savior, and that had never been damaged even in the fiercest battles, had been treasured by her and relied on to help her become the high-ranking member of the Dark Council she is today, and even replaced her former code name as an hourglass of strength and status......
Disappeared from her grasp.There was no doubt that the hourglass hadn't gone far from her body, for the ability to turn back time was still firmly working, and, in the same short second, the hourglass had realized the existence of the only person around him who could "take the hourglass out of his hands".It's him......
It's time to stop!
Almost at the same time as he realized this, the hourglass's face finally revealed a look of extreme fear.She saw the dazed and desperate expression of Zero's body being pierced by her own cane, trying to activate her abilities in vain.And if there's anything that scares her more now, it's ......
Her body, after going back in time for the second time, is firmly returning to its original position along the trajectory of previous evasion.Seconds later, her mouth opened wide, but her voice was swallowed up by the time that flowed around her.And what was swallowed up together was an arm and most of the body that was evaporated by the heat and rays in an instant when the form of the girl's light codenamed "Flaming Red" staggered past herself.......At the end, she saw that the man, codenamed "Protagonist", threw the hourglass that belonged to her on the ground.The moment time returned to normal, his words could finally reach his ears clearly."
I've lived, you two......
Don't even think about running away. ”。
