You call this a black hand?

Everything that happened in the dim ice field where the cold wind was raging seemed extremely strange.

The blizzard came and went, with ups and downs, and the battle site surrounded by the blizzard also evolved inexplicably in a continuous cycle - the whole situation seemed to be repeated like a "movie" lasting several minutes.

Play.

However, even though they are dead and alive, and the situation is out of their control, the people in the "movie" know nothing about it.

They are playing their different roles tirelessly. Some are supporting their translucent magic shields to guard their companions, some are shaking their wands and attacking frantically with nervous expressions on their faces, and a few here and there are watching indifferently from the outside...

The brilliance of magic and various forbidden spells make the battlefield colorful and full of danger.

However, no matter how powerful he is, in this silent time cycle, he only appears small and humble, like all living beings being toyed with by fate.

At the same time, the erosion of time exists quietly——

As the cycle continues to unfold, bursts of inconspicuous scorching energy spread quietly in "corners" that ordinary people cannot detect. They ignore the strict protection of both parties in the battle, regardless of whether they are in a fight, and even ignore everyone's subjective consciousness.

And silently enters every human body.

Then it quickly burned people's strong life force.

So unknowingly, people in the cycle begin to age rapidly.

One year old, five years old, ten years old...

"What a group of fanatical people."

After another cycle, Lin Sai, who was watching the battlefield, had a smile on his lips, with a rather playful expression.

But he didn't notice at all that when he was supposed to be in his prime, there were already crow's feet in the corners of his eyes...

"Perhaps they were hoping that before they died, they could repeat what happened to Caesar——"

His words, which he had repeated so many times, suddenly paused, and then he frowned, a look of confusion flashed across his face, and he felt inexplicably that something was wrong in his heart.

But maybe there was some kind of cognitive impairment. Even though Lindsay discovered the abnormality, he could not find the source of the abnormality at all, and he turned a blind eye to the obvious changes in his body.

So after thinking about it, the reincarnation of one of the three chief judges of the Kingdom of Heaven just thought it was his own illusion. He shook his head and began to watch the battle scene in the distance that he had seen countless times. His expression was focused, and from time to time

Laugh quietly a few times.

If he continues like this, he may die without knowing anything.

However, as a silent influence came on, he who was originally immersed in observation seemed to have a flash of thunder in his mind, and he suddenly froze, as if he was reminded by something.

After looking up at the sky, I suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"W-what's going on?!"

Lindsay's originally rosy complexion quickly turned pale, and her calm expression was now full of anxiety and confusion.

Just because he clearly remembered that when he planned to ambush this group of truth believers, the surrounding environment was dim and the time was midnight.

And now, judging from the whiteness at the end of the sky, dawn is approaching and the sun is about to rise!

But the battlefield in the distance is still the same as it was at the beginning...

Under the ice and snow where the storm was raging, cries of death and screams came one after another. The angry roars and panicked shouts should have made Lin Sai feel happy, but at this moment, his heart had sunk to the bottom.

"Is this the power of the Child of Destiny..."

After careful inspection, he could not find any external erosion from the surroundings. The bronze compass hanging on his waist, which he relied on, was silent and showed no reaction at all.

What this proves is self-evident...

Standing on the edge of the ice and snow cliff, Lindsay looked uncertain for a long time, and finally threw away the monocular in his hand, then slumped to the ground, with a dejected expression and gave up the plan of struggling.

As the reincarnation of a top Holy Spirit, Lin Sai has many methods. If he wants, he can even slaughter the truth believers in the battlefield alone.

Empty.

However, the visible enemy allows him to kill at will, but how can he resist this invisible power?

The two powers of time and space were taboo areas that were difficult to explore even in the former kingdom of heaven, let alone the end of the Dharma era when the demonic tide has faded.

Not only does he have no confidence to solve it, he doesn't even have the slightest idea to solve the current predicament.

What makes Lindsay even more embarrassed is that as a reincarnated body, his body has the will of his "past life" sleeping in it. If this will is awakened, it will be much stronger than his current state.

But the will of the previous life that should have been revived by encountering such a terrifying situation is now quiet, as if nothing has been discovered!

What does this mean?

Of course, it was his previous life, and he never realized that his reincarnated body was already in an extremely dangerous situation.

He actually has the ability to actively wake up the other party.

But he had absolutely no intention of doing so.

Because even if it cannot be discovered, then even if the will of the Holy Spirit is really awakened, will it have any power to resist?

Feeling that his vitality was passing by rapidly, Lindsay's mind was filled with turmoil. But gradually, he was like an ordinary person facing ruthless time, unable to resist, and his mood naturally began to calm down.

However, Lin Sai still felt quite complicated when he thought that "not long ago", he had considered plotting against the son of fate, but now this was the result.

There was no fear at all, it was just death, and now, the thing he was least afraid of was death.

It's just this feeling of powerlessness that has nowhere to start that hits him harder than death...

"But why didn't He let go of those truth believers?"

Quietly experiencing the power of time constantly operating on him, the only question that Lin Sai was in the mood to think about was this.

After all, no matter what, the truth believers who believe in Son of Destiny are all his own people, right?

As a result, in this current scene, there is no distinction between the enemy and ourselves...

"Has He actually not paid attention to who is here? Just like a person who is too lazy to care about the appearance of a group of ants?"

This speculation made him feel a little desperate.

…

People in the cycle, whether they realize it or not, are powerless to resist it all.

Outside the cycle, a bystander's mood was even more complicated.

The onlookers stood strangely on the cliff where Lindsay was, but Lindsay was completely unaware of her presence. Even the extremely private changes in expressions and soliloquies were completely invisible to her without even realizing it.

"Even if you wake up, you can't escape this cycle..."

The clear and melodious voice murmured, a little misty, and the goose feather snow continued to fall in the sky. The flawless white snowflakes fell on the pure silver long hair of the bystanders, only looking dim.

She lowered her head and looked at the brown-haired young man sitting slumped on the edge of the cliff next to her with a helpless expression. She couldn't help but pursed her thin lips.

If Sister Lydia were here at this time, she would be surprised to find that this person is the mysterious woman in St. Grant's Castle who had talked to her a lot not long ago.

And this place, from Fort St. Grant, can be said to be on the other side of the world...

In a flash of thought, she traveled thousands of miles and landed here, appearing to be full of power and mystery. However, the silver-haired woman herself had no pride in this.

She only felt weak for a while.

Lindsay beside him was able to break away from the time loop and wake up. Of course, it was not by chance, but because of her interference on the side.

But the aging that was visible to the naked eye made her realize that what she had done was just useless - the time loop could be broken, but the erosion of life caused by the loop was not affected by her at all...

The silver-haired woman was a little discouraged by this, and was even annoyed that the young man was trying to "lay down" without even resisting.

But she actually knows

Chu Zi knew that his thoughts were just to vent his anger.

Even if it is resistance, what will be the results of resistance?

"This is just a false realm forged by time and space. What should the real power of destiny be?"

While muttering in a low voice, the silver-haired woman couldn't help but sigh, and then planned to turn around and leave this useless observation area.

But I found that, without realizing it, everything around me had quietly changed!

The sky dimmed, the blizzard stopped, and the people in the battle stopped their actions one after another, and then seemed to be awakened, screaming in panic.

Beside her, the young man who had collapsed weakly stood up. After taking a look at everything around him, the decadence on his face immediately disappeared. His instinctive desire to survive made him turn around and run away in a hurry, with a nervous expression.

I don't dare to stay here for a moment longer.

Everything has proven that under the cold wind, the cycle of time has been quietly broken.

There were no casualties on the battlefield, but the enemy and us, who were full of energy and vitality not long ago, were now almost ten years older on average!

If they were not lucky, or if they were not too unlucky, they would have aged even more...

Staring at all this, the silver-haired woman was speechless for a long time.

Because she knew that the dissipation of this cycle was not because someone was unable to maintain it all, but because it had been too long and that person was impatient to wait.

…

"What the hell?"

In the quiet study room, Mellen muttered.

I had already picked up the domain sphere placed on the yellowed map and kept observing everything inside, feeling a little strange.

He sat in this study and waited for almost half the night. As a result, the ball in his hand remained illusory and hazy, without any change.

Although the calls in his heart disappeared as a result, it was precisely because of this that Meren had no idea what was happening on the opposite side.

Therefore, Mellen, who waited and waited for no result, could only interrupt this mysterious process in the end.

However, he obviously didn't see any changes in the appearance, but when he picked up the ball and observed it, he found that some inexplicable plants were growing in this field——

In the original domain space, there was only a vast and barren soil, with dim light. Because it was filled with scorching energy, this land was dry and lifeless.

But now, some vine-like plants are springing out from the cracks in the soil, spreading scattered in the field, like a bulging blood vessel protruding on the surface of the brown skin.

Like...

This change seems to be a good thing, but the color of the vine is black and red. When you look closely, it looks eerie and weird. It doesn't look like a good thing at all.

I couldn't observe anything with my eyes alone, so I used the power of the domain master to cut off a vine, took out a section and looked at it for a few times. Apart from the clear liquid that emitted bursts of hot steam overflowing from the section, I didn't find anything else.

"Maybe I should ask Juliana to help me research it?"

The liquid was colorless and odorless. Although it was a bit hot, Meren couldn't see anything about it, so he made this plan in his heart.

Mrs. Chelsea, who is a teacher, is not good at studying these inexplicable things. Although she has a very powerful Holy Spirit in her body, she is an old antique and her fighting power may be astonishing. Her acceptance and understanding of the wizard system, or all innovations in the mysterious field

, is not comparable to modern “scientific researchers”.

Moreover, Melen did not intend to expose his secrets to the other party. Although there were some misunderstandings, the appearance of these vines was always due to his identity as the son of destiny.

So the most suitable person to do this is Juliana.

But after thinking about it, Meren still collected the vine.

Although the sky is getting brighter outside at this moment, it is actually still early, so there is no rush to do this.

More importantly, he had other things to do.

After flipping through the book of secret words, Juliana's words about asking him why he didn't go home last night were still there quietly. Meren didn't respond, but instead looked at the corresponding page of Mrs. Chelsea.

No messages exist.

This proves that Alyssa is not awake yet.

Because I plan to wait for Alyssa to wake up and talk to her first before starting to implement the plan. Considering that her blood may not be able to withstand stimulation, waking her up on her own initiative does not seem to be a good option, and there is no rush, so all I can do now is wait.

.

Mellen then prepared to find Sister Lydia.

It's nothing wrong, it's just that my relationship with her made qualitative progress yesterday, so I didn't have time to pay attention to her all night, so now I plan to go and take a look.

Originally, he was planning to get together while traveling through time and space, but unfortunately they were delayed by Alyssa's incident.

Considering the poor sensory synchronization of the Chelsea family before, Meren also planned to ask Lydia if she noticed any abnormalities related to this incident at that time.

As a result, after arriving at the place, his attention was diverted by another thing.

"Did you encounter any special situation last night?"

Seeing Mellen appear in front of her in an instant, Lydia, who was lying on the bedside and had not yet put on her clothes, was stunned for a moment, and then she asked casually.

"Of course."

Mellen replied with a wink.

He naturally realized why the person in front of him asked this question——

The two of them noticed the corresponding pattern while traveling through time and space yesterday. According to normal development, Meren should have acquired or thought of being able to transform into Anthony in that time and space last night.

But now that I think about it, what happened to him last night seems to have nothing to do with Anthony...
