In an instant, whether it is the thunder of new life and silence, or the waves that are surging and sweeping, a flower and a leaf, everything freezes.

Reiner seemed to be in a moment of standing still, and he tried to lift his hand, only to find that his arm was too heavy to move.

Not only that, but Reiner's whole person also seemed to be bound by some mysterious power, unable to move a bit.

In the next moment, the ripples that spread out from Reiner's body returned to square one like a rewind, and the world moved again.

Thunder shoots down the sea, the tide tears everything apart, and everything works as it should.

"Is it really impossible to get out of the shackles?"

Reiner was a little surprised, and although he had expected it in advance, he still felt a little disappointed by the limitations of this spell.

It is true that Reiner had stopped time just now, but at the same time, he himself was unable to move due to the transformation of his mass, which prevented him from making any movement in the time he was stationary.

This eight-ring spell has been inscribed into Reiner's heart, and he has become a quasi-eight-ring mage.

But Lena still couldn't let go, and he repeated the process of casting the spell several times, but he still remained in the same state as before.

After thinking about it for a long time, Reiner suddenly had an idea, and the ripples around him spread again.

Only this time, the world didn't completely stand still.

At this moment, it is as if a clicking sound is heard, as if the chronograph button of a pocket watch is pressed, and the sound of a stopwatch running becomes the only melody in the whole world.

Tick Tick Tick Tick –

The falling lightning slowly struck the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the splash scattered, and everything was not still, but it was no different from being still.

Tick Tick Tick Tick –

At this point, Reiner tried to raise his arm again.

This time, although he still endured great resistance, Reiner was clearly able to raise his arm and make certain movements, and he made his magic armor exert all his magic power, and moved a distance of five meters with great difficulty.

Click-

With another crisp sound of keystrokes, in the next second, the ripples that spread throughout the world returned to Reiner's body, and he saw that the slow-falling lightning suddenly became faster, the splash of water returned to normal, and he also moved five meters from where he was just now.

"Sure enough, even I can't move in absolutely static time, but if I just slow down time, then I can move in it, and although it consumes a lot of mana, it is extremely crucial."

Reiner looked at the palm of his hand, just five meters of movement just now, it consumed a lot of his mana, as if he had been flying at supersonic speed for hours, and a wave of exhaustion hit Reiner, making Reiner exhausted.

He landed on the shore and muttered to himself.

"This spell actually slows down time by speeding me up, and the end of the acceleration is the speed of light, and now I can pause for one second, and through practice and optimization, I should be able to increase the time of this pause."

While five meters is not a commendable distance in the eyes of most mages, it can be the dividing line between survival and destruction in some crucial situations, and as Reiner understands spells and concepts, the time will continue to rise, and so will the distance he can move.

"At close to the speed of light, a lot of energy is converted into mass, which is the root cause of the huge drag on motion, and if I can master the means to convert mass into energy, then maybe I can reduce this drag and move more."

Of course, this was just his speculation, and the concrete practice might not be seen until he finished the rest of the theoretical work.

After finishing the final work of digestion, Reiner was about to return to the real world, when it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't yet chosen a name for his newly created spell.

Although this spell is unique to Reiner, and he is not going to share it, let alone steal it, it is impossible for others to steal it, but naming a spell can create a certain level of psychological implication that allows the mage to use the spell more quickly, which is why many spells are prefixed with the name of the creator or improver.

After thinking for a while, Reiner realized that he didn't need to be so entangled at all, and with a thought, the eight-ring spell that had just been engraved into his heart lake had its own name.

- The world.

......

Somewhere in the world, in a modest and featureless hut, a woman in an inconspicuous coarse cloth robe slowly lifted her hood to reveal her long silver hair.

Even if she was dressed in shabby clothes, she couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, and even, compared to the beginning, she seemed to have become a little more gorgeous.

Phyllis. Ian Gray, the eldest daughter of the Ian Gray family, is on the run at the moment.

She slipped out while all the mages were focused on dealing with the overwhelming Sauron xeno-frenzy, taking with her the memories of the world from the previous era.

Rather, it was the box that she originally intended.

Phyllis took the unassuming box out of her storage bag and opened it gently, and the glow of the Philosopher's Stone in it stained the room crimson.

"I actually thought of storing the core and the construct separately, Master Hohenheim is worthy of being a legendary mage."

Phyllis muttered to herself, looking at the Philosopher's Stone reflecting countless images in it, and quietly closing the box.

"The memory of the world is not only a history of destruction, but also a history of creation."

She said that in the memories of the world from the last era, there were some extremely advanced creations, which relied on pure magical action, and had a powerful power that the current mages could not match, and it was Phyllis's goal to obtain these things.

"The Serpents of Chaos are trying to acquire these creations from the last era to fight against the mages, but they are too short-sighted to be aware of our true enemies, and even the High Council is in a fog with no future in sight."

Phyllis sighed softly, a little helpless.

She even thought that the two of them would work together to find her unenlightened brother Reiner, but as a high-level mage, Reiner must have many connections with the High Council, and whether he believed in her or not, it would be extremely difficult for Phyllis to get close to Reiner.

Still, Phyllis found a way.

She found a flyer from the pocket of her clothes instead of the storage bag.

A flyer about an upcoming meeting that her sweet brother Reiner is bound to attend, gives Phyllis a chance to get in touch with each other.

After folding the leaflet, Phyllis turned her eyes out the window to the huge stargate in the distance.
