Chapter Seventy-One: The Mystery of Time Stoppage
"Uncle, what do you have in your hand?!"
Kane suddenly screamed, startling Cassadine, and spilled some of his drink.
He hurriedly put down the flask, and then exposed his palm.
I saw a purple crystal embedded in Cassadine's palm, emitting a faint pulsating purple light.
"It's just an amulet I found before I came to Acacia, and it allows me to move freely in this desolate realm, keeping out the pervasive corruption. But for some reason, the moment I got it, it got into my flesh and became one with me. ”
Cassadine explained casually, and judging by his relaxed tone, it was clear that he didn't really care about the thing.
This amulet protected him in Acacia, who was full of blasphemous power, and even if he couldn't shake it off from now on, it didn't matter.
Anyway, when he first came here, he didn't plan to go back alive.
But Kane didn't think so at all, his eyes widened the moment he saw it.
He won't admit it.
This thing belongs to the Void!
Keisha was also taken aback, and she followed suit, and with her familiarity with the void, she came to the exact same conclusion as Kane.
"Father, how can you have such a thing in your hands!"
"So what is this?" Seeing that Keisha was so excited, Cassadine was also a little panicked, and finally Kane told the essence of this thing.
"This is not some talisman, this is the fossil of the heart of the Void Creature, the crystallization of the Void energy!"
"Void Stone......" Cassadine thought thoughtfully, "Is this the same as the skin on your body?" ”
Cassadine thinks so, if he becomes like his daughter, maybe he will be more able to understand the pain that happened to them.
He didn't care if he became a monster or not, he just wanted to be closer to Keisha and have more common topics.
"I don't know, tell me how this stone feels?"
Kane had never seen anything like it, and he didn't even know if it was symbiotic or parasitic.
Normally, a mortal who has been corrupted by the Void should have lost his sense of self long ago, or has simply been reshaped.
But none of this was visible to Cassadine, his eyes were still completely human, and he could hardly feel any void aura on his body.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Feeling...... This small object is now beating at the same time as my heart. That terrible pulsating rhythm did not belong to life, not to magic, not to anything whole, but to the annihilation of nothingness. ”
"Hearing you say that, it's more like a void......" Kane's face was ugly, "This is more serious than our situation." ”
"Then why am I still alive and well?"
Kane looked at Cassadine and ended up on the back of his right wrist.
"I think it might be the reason for this thing."
"Horlock's Blade of the Underworld?" Cassadine raised his hand and flicked it hard, and the blade of nothingness bounced out, devouring the light. He said, "Because of it? This weapon has a lot of origins. ”
Kane immediately felt his armor tighten and tingle as he responded to the threat emanating from the weapon.
Seeing that both of them were showing discomfort, Cassadine immediately withdrew the light blade and explained, "The original owner of this weapon is the great warrior Horlock of the Ascension Regiment, who is rumored to be the first of his ascendants to escape the sun that gave him power, and who went into the dark underground to fight the Void, and led his brothers and sisters to find a way to defeat the Void. He used this weapon to slay countless Void Monsters, and it remembered how to put an end to the Void creatures. ”
"It should be like this," Kane said, "The Blade of the Underworld suppressed the Void Stone, and the two reached a delicate balance, so that the Void did not erode further. ”
"I put in a lot of effort to get this magic weapon, but I didn't expect it to have this effect."
When Cassadine heard this, he was not worried, and waved his hand to signal Kane to continue drinking: "Hahaha, now that we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, I will help you find out the information of the Eternal Flame as soon as possible." ”
After eating, Kane collapsed in his chair and rubbed his stomach.
Keisha couldn't do this because of her shoulder pods, so she could only take a walk around the tower and observe the people downstairs who had been stopped for time.
When he touched his stomach, Kane wondered if he would have a stomachache if he ate something from 3,500 years ago.
The answer to this question is no, Cassadine is not the first time this is the case, he has not had an accident. The time of these foods has been stopped at that moment, and it has been kept spotlessly until now.
And Kane has a lot of questions about this strange tower.
If time stands still in the tower, will it stand still when they come in from the outside?
If so, then they came in at twelve o'clock, did they go out at twelve o'clock? In the eyes of the outside world, it is to go in and come out immediately?
To test his thoughts, Kane went to the window to check the outside sky.
Acacia's sky was covered in black clouds, and he didn't see a single moving monster outside, and he didn't see anything to compare the passage of time, so he opened his pocket watch.
Then he noticed that the second hand was constantly moving.
Conclusion: Time in the tower is also flowing normally, in line with the outside world.
So what is it that time has stopped?
Kane walked around the tower and gradually understood...... It turned out that when the magic was activated, everything that existed in the tower, including the tower itself, was stripped of time by the powerful magic.
There is no time-stop circle in the tower, but these people and things, including buildings, are enchanted with time-stop.
Cassadine and Kane, on the other hand, were not present here when the magic was activated, so time was still running normally and would not change depending on whether they were in the tower or not.
There was no hole to drill, and Kane couldn't help but feel sorry.
Originally, he still wanted to be in the tower, relying on time to stop practicing magic for hundreds of years and then go out of the mountain, but now he was thinking too much about all this.
I'm so sorry that I couldn't be born to be a fool.
Kane's regret only lasted for a while, and he immediately found new pleasure for himself.
He went downstairs to the hall and walked over to the people of Acacia whose time had been forever stopped in the moment before the destruction of their homeland.
Among them, there are a few good-looking young ladies who look frightened and look unique.
Then his mind couldn't help but flash some scenes from the Time Stop series...... That's right, it's those scenes where time stops and then summons the stand-in Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da.
Such a good-looking young lady, it must be very emotional to beat up, right?
