Chapter 124 Field Expansion, The Mystery of Time

   What a... Fascinating guy. "

  In a corner of the small square under the Imperial Palace, a man with long hair and a slightly feminine temperament was wearing a navy blue windbreaker leaning sideways on the corner of the wall, with his right hand gently pressing on the saber at his waist.

  He is the new acting leader of the third investigation team, Kimura Baituo.

Although accepting the invitation of Minister of Foreign Affairs Takumi Amuro to join the "stability maintenance faction" of Wano country's high-level, Kimura Baituo has never been interested in cooperating with the ruling of heaven and man to capture Captain Dragonfly. Demonstrated ability but demonstrated interest.

  Although the opponent's main method of fighting has always been the completely unreasonable gray ability [Shadow Instant], but every time there seems to be some subtle changes.

  In the eyes of others, they may be amazed at Captain Dragonfly's amazing talent, and he has developed his ability to such an unimaginable level in just a few months.

   It can fall into the narrow and long pupils of Baituo Dumucun, but it is a completely different scene.

  Reminiscent of last year’s [Funeral Club] members at the intersection of cherry blossoms, the man behind the dragonfly mask also appeared there “at the right time” to destroy the action of summoning strange demons

  Thinking of this, Baituo Kimura could not help but narrow his eyes leaning against the square, staring at the figure in the dark golden dragonfly mask in the fierce fight in the small square where no one else could have a hand.

  You are also there.

   "Dancing" with strange monsters?

  The small square under the Imperial Palace.

  In front of the radiant and terrifying golden spear tip, Higashinohara's pupils shrank sharply at this moment, and his heart beat faster as if feeling a sense of urgency.

  At this moment, he really felt the terrifying breath of death.

   A terrifying spear that locks everything.

   Horror rules like causal loops.

This is.

  A real demigod-level ability user?

Compared with Searle, the commander of the Beihai Dawn Revolutionary Army, who had just entered the eighth stage of demigod-level abilities, this indifferent and arrogant man in front of him undoubtedly had a more thorough control over the [rules], which made people rise from the depths of their hearts. A sense of hopelessness that the man cannot resist.

  Rules. Rhinegold!

  Shot of Dawn!

  However, in the face of this line that runs through life and death, Higashinohara has more understanding than others about the terrifying golden spear that seems unavoidable and can only be killed at the neck.

His [Yingshun. Canglei] composite ability [Flying Thunder without Stepping Continuous Slash] is also like this. As long as the mark of lightning is left on the target, when he is urged again, he can instantly cut out the law of cause and effect. It is generally a "must hit" slash.

  As a person who comprehends this ability by himself, Higashinohara is also aware that the so-called "must hit" is actually a false proposition.

   Nothing in the world is absolute.

  There are causes and effects.

  Theoretically, as long as the opponent is fast enough to leave a mark on Higashinohara's Cang Lei, then Higashinohara will naturally be unable to make the so-called "law of cause and effect" that must hit.

  So at this critical moment!

  A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Higashinohara's mind, whose pupils shrank sharply, and the turmoil in his heart unexpectedly calmed down under the separation of life and death.

  He realized something.

  Since he can't say "sure to hit", then the feeling of "There is no way to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it" is nothing more than a sense of death oppression in the current state.

  The way to get rid of this "must-hit oppression" is very simple-that is to move.

  Theoretically, as long as his speed is "fast enough" to avoid the lock of the invisible silk thread, the opponent will naturally not have the kind of life-and-death connection.

   But this simple method,

   But there are not simple prerequisites.

  How fast is "fast enough"?

  Among the innate abilities Higashinohara currently possesses, [Shadow Instant] and [Time Hourglass] are both speed-type abilities.

  During the confrontation between Beihai and the commander of the Liming Revolutionary Army, his Yingshun once broke through the 100 mark in agility and raised his speed to the extreme speed that his body can only bear for a very short time.

  Nine times. Shadow instant.

  But now with the 50-point temporary attribute bonus of Amuro Takumi's evil value, Higashinohara's agility is only 94.7. It's not that he doesn't want to find someone with a higher evil value, but where to look for it in a hurry.

Even the eighth-level Judgment of Heaven and Man made Markus Rhine's crime value not as high as that of Amuro Takumi. Although it was judged to be an obstacle in front of the mission that triggered the side mission, the side mission obviously did not provide any temporary transformation of the crime value. Attributes.

  In the current state of agility,

  Higashi Nohara can clearly feel that he is still some distance away from the boundary of Beihai's [Nine Times. Shadow Instant], and now he can only touch the speed of Eight Times. Shadow Instant at most.

   This speed is obviously not "fast enough".

   As for another speed talent sequence 48 [Time Hourglass].

  Because this ability is to slow down the flow of time around oneself, which is equivalent to accelerating the relative speed of oneself in the eyes of outsiders, rather than directly speeding up one's own speed, so the bonus of one's own agility attribute is relatively low.

  Higashi Nohara can only achieve "four times slow playback" under the current situation of full urging, but it is obviously not "fast enough" under the current situation.

   Could it be faster?

  All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

At this moment of life and death, Higashinohara's ever-diverging and extending thoughts were strangely stretched so long that time seemed to be trapped in a gel and the incomparably slow passage of time, and one could even clearly feel it in this thought. His own desperate thoughts.

   Realizing this, Higashinohara couldn't help but slowly raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner.

   But in fact, Higashinohara only completed one upward movement of raising the corner of his mouth, and his face couldn't help being a little dazed.

   Are you struggling in your thoughts?

  A flash of lightning seemed to flash across Higashinohara's mind, revealing a thoughtful look, vaguely aware that he seemed to have grasped something crucial

   But also at this time,

  Marcus Rhine smiled indifferently.

  In the blink of an eye, the golden spear in his hand completely followed the taut death ray, tearing the air so bluntly, and attacked Dongyeyuan like a dazzling golden meteor.

  No one thought of it!

  Under the gun point of this death, Higashinohara is like a novice chef standing by the stove, staring at the hot oil pan that is almost splashing on his face,

  Thinking about what kind of "seasoning" to put first,

   How much "seasoning" to put in at a time.

   But only for a moment,

  He had a decision in his heart.

  So Higashino originally launched 【Hourglass of Time】.

  In an instant, with him as the center, everything around him slowed down instantly.

   But the degree of slow motion is quite limited at the moment.

  Higashi Nohara's limit is the hourglass of time. Four times slower.

   And this time,

  He only slowed down the time twice, so the whole person seemed calm, with a kind of leisurely ease. Even the death ray from Marcus Rhine's golden gun tip was still firmly locked in his heart.

  Where does this confidence come from?

  The next brake,

  Higashi Nohara put in the second "seasoning".

  Six times. Shadow instant!

In an instant, his whole body instantly turned into an erratic phantom wave in the air. It seemed that something in the area of ​​the small square was rapidly spreading towards the surroundings like a tide. The entire area in front of the court.

  In an instant, the shocked expressions on the faces of countless people around seemed to be flattened and rounded by time, and the noisy voices from the people in the Imperial Palace Gaien Square farther away were refracted in the air like light.

  Everything is pulled so slowly!

  Slowly enough that even the golden spear in front of him shrouded the sky and covered Higashinohara, and the tip of the spear shot like lightning pulled out two streams of milky white air in the air.

   are all so clear!

   No!

  This is far from being able to do it with the ability of the six times. Shadow instant, and it is even more impossible to do it with the time hourglass that is slowed down twice.

Higashinohara's [Time Hourglass. Double Slow Play] and [Six Times. Shadow Instant] successively launched this time are all things that can be easily done within his ability, and he doesn't even have to bear too much pressure on his body. burden.

   But in fact, at this time, Higashinohara felt that his body was stretched to the extreme, and time and space stretched out invisible chains from all directions to firmly wrap Higashinohara's body.

  He could only dance under the extreme physical load with the heavy shackles on his back. The familiar feeling of muscle tearing instantly spread to the nerve endings in his mind, making his body tremble slightly imperceptibly.

   If he is not careful, he may tear and shatter some body parts.

  The reason why he fell into this dangerous and abnormal situation is because the two abilities that Higashinohara developed this time are not just deployed sequentially as before, and have no relationship with each other.

  As in "brooding in drawn out thoughts".

   At the moment of life and death just now,

  Higashi Nohara inconceivably grasped the fleeting thread between the two natural abilities, and combined the two abilities of [Shadow Instant] and [Time Backtracking] with the same attribute.

  Having had the experience of recombining Cang Lei and Yingshun, Higashinohara's recombination process went very smoothly this time, and he called the recombined ability "Scale of Quicksand".

  It means that in the desert of time where the dragon of time inhabits, a piece of scale armor that records the mystery of time was captured by a traveler who ventured in.

  Six times. Shadow instant X time retrospective. Double slow!

  Scales of Quicksand. Twelve times faster!

  At this time, what Higashinohara didn't know was what he thought the composite ability of the same attribute would look like in the eyes of other people around him.

  Marcus Rhine, who was standing opposite Higashinohara, the Celestial Judgment who was born in the Dragon Clan, made the pair of vertical pupils that were strangely golden during the battle suddenly burst into an indescribable look.

  During the slow-motion time, his static face, which was frozen like a wax figure, also showed a pensive look.

   Fields!

   Is this the power of his domain?

  Similarly, Baituo Kimura, the acting leader of the third reconnaissance team who stood watching the battle from a distance, also felt the power of this domain very clearly.

   You must know that Higashinohara has always relied on extremely fast speed to win the previous battles, but has never opened up the domain, so that some people even doubt whether the mysterious man behind the mask has mastered the domain.

   Can't master the field,

  How to advance to the seventh level of absolute ability?

   Possess such terrifying strength?

   This seems to be a very contradictory paradox.

  However, at this moment, countless people at the scene felt the power of the time domain. It turned out that he also had his own domain.

   Just never unfolded while fighting.

   Or rather, no one has ever been able to force him to unfold.

  So this time, was it because he was facing an eighth-level demigod-level ability user who controlled the rules, so he had to start this time domain that had never appeared before and shocked the world as soon as it appeared?

   But will it be too late?

  A field is a field after all?

  How can we resist the power of rules?

  Hoo-!

You still have time.

  Looking at the rapidly enlarging golden spear tip in his pupils, with the aura of death in it, Higashinohara breathed a sigh of relief.

  The next brake,

  The spear connecting life and death strikes.

  But Higashinohara disappeared into the sun.

  He disappeared very quickly, so abruptly that there was not even the slightest afterimage left in the air under the sun, and it gave the illusion that the place was empty in the first place.

   There was a loud bang.

  Marcus Rhine's Dawn Dawn Spear blasted into the Imperial Palace behind him.

  It was a three-storey side hall of the imperial residence. The shining and magnificent side hall full of the royal family collapsed under this shot.

  The terrifying power instantly knocked half of this side hall down, and it turned into a piece of ruins, filled with a palpitating dead silence in a blink of an eye.

   Rules. Rhinegold.

   still connects life and death.

It's just that the other end of death is no longer connected to Higashinohara, but an empty side hall. Now it has collapsed in the ruins of death, and a long golden spear is stuck on the door plaque of the side hall of the imperial residence. Trembling slightly.

  At a certain moment, with Higashinohara as the center, the fleeting images filling the entire small square suddenly disappeared.

  The next moment, Higashinohara's figure suddenly appeared on the golden spear like a bird.

  Under the chilly spring sun, he stepped on the golden spear that connects life and death, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on the lips of the delicate face under the mask.

   This is not mocking.

   It's a smile of affirmation to myself.

   Obviously, his guess is not wrong, there is no such thing as a sure hit in this world.

  As long as his speed is fast enough, the so-called "must hit" rule is just a joke, but no one has ever been as fast as he is today!

  Under the cover of the dark golden mask, Marcus Rhine couldn't see the smile on Higashinohara's face, but somehow, he felt that the man standing on the tip of his gun was smiling.

   Smile big!

  Laughing wantonly!

   Laughing so much that it bored him for no reason.

  Because it was a human being.

  And he is the Celestial Dragon Race, which is extremely noble among the heavenly beings.

  Natural selection, the powerful talent bestowed by the Creator on the Dragon Race has fully demonstrated their nobility and superiority over humans.

   And now, a human being is laughing at him.

  So Marcus Rhine slowly raised his hand, and the spear that Higashinohara was stepping on trembled slightly, disappeared suddenly, and returned steadily to his hand.

   "You don't think

   Is this the end? "

  Marcus Rhine, who stood motionless on the spot, once again raised the spear in his hand, slightly raised his drooping bronzing vertical pupils, with a mocking smile on his face.

   Just this time,

  He suddenly let go of the spear in his hand.

  Letting the golden spear shining in the sunlight float in the air in front of him out of thin air, his body stood proudly, with his hands inserted into the pockets on both sides.

Without warning, one after another golden rings spread out towards the surrounding air with the suspended spear as the center, like countless dense golden barrels. Just like the one that Fumo Liusheng encountered before so-so.

   Only this time, an invisible thread spewed out from each golden ring, and in an instant, countless threads were connected to Higashinohara's heart.

  Rules. Rhinegold!

  Thousands of guns now!

  Countless people around saw this terrifying scene, their hearts seemed to be clenched by invisible hands. Ordinary people would probably faint from suffocation just by being targeted by such a death ray.

   At this moment, Marcus Rhine, who was showing his murderous intent, didn't have any extra greetings.

  I saw the golden light flashing in the countless golden rings, as if the golden thunder and lightning flashed across the night sky, and the rain fell like a frenzy, wrapped in an incomparable breath of death, and shrouded in the direction of Higashinohara.

  In an instant, countless golden shooting stars covered the sky and covered the sky with long spears, attacking at a terrifying speed no less than before with a stern murderous intent!

   Instantly,

   Completely suppressed Higashinohara's figure.

  This scene happened too fast too fast.

Soon, many ordinary people in the Gaien of the Imperial Palace are not "qualified" to appreciate this terrifying scene, but those capable users who are qualified to see this scene only feel that the surrounding air is suddenly evacuated, their breathing becomes extremely rapid, and their pupils suddenly twitch. Austerity, it is impossible to imagine the despair of being under such fear.

  In the blink of an eye, Higashinohara's figure was completely swallowed up under this golden meteor shower that was so beautiful but full of destructive aura.

  While the faces of countless people around were shocked, their hearts were also plunged into intense confusion.

  They didn't know whether the man was buried in this gorgeous golden meteor shower in an instant, or whether he made a tragic but helpless resistance when death approached, and finally died without a whole body.

  However, in the next moment, Marcus Rhine, who had his hands proudly in his pockets, frowned slightly!

  It was also at this time that a half-squatting figure emerged from the golden spear floating in front of him without warning.

  Marcus Rhine raised his eyes slightly, looked up, the light seemed to shift a little bit on his retina, and even the shadow of the person was getting longer

  Time almost freezes at this moment!

   Higashinohara, who was squatting on the golden spear, looked like a phantom traveling through a still time and space. His body kicked off and jumped high above Markus Rhine's head!

  His left and right hands were interlaced, and the two long knives held in both hands "clicked" in the air, and merged into an ancient black-gold double-edged knife with dense patterns!

   Immediately, he grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed down with a terrifying momentum like cutting mountains and seas!

  Lion, manifest!

   Sorry for being late today.

   My wife had a minor operation on her feet yesterday, and now she is lying on the bed and cannot move. The 18-month-old boy can only come to me and smash the keyboard many times in protest during the night and night coding process.

   Then I was suppressed with an iron fist. Temporarily suppressed.

over and over again.

   This chapter is two in one, and it should be able to write better. I will take the time to work hard tonight, and the next chapter will be updated tomorrow morning.

   Thank you for your understanding and support~!

   Ask for a ticket lol~
