Volume 3 Sword Art Online Chapter 144 The Manifestation of the Flow of Time
When the bell rang through the heavens and the earth, Wang Heng was walking in the Temple of Time.
Even the ongoing war that will affect the future direction of this world is only a small wave in the long river of history for the vastness of time, and it has not brought any changes to the eternal temple of time.
The clock was running precisely, and the ticking sound seemed to have never fluctuated since ancient times, so Wang Heng's footsteps were particularly harsh in the empty hall.
Time was a tall man, his hair neatly combed, tightly tied in the crown, and a well-groomed black gown exuded its rigor everywhere.
But today he was a little pale.
He couldn't help but shudder a little when the footsteps sounded.
"Hello, Mr. Time." Wang Heng politely took off his hat in greetings according to custom.
Time sat on the throne without any response.
Of course he wouldn't respond, for he felt his heart beating in the arms of the rabbit in front of him, and his mouth was so dry that he couldn't open it.
He has always looked down on the world from the outside, like a god.
Unfortunately, it was only an image, and when the real god appeared in front of him, he felt how powerless he was to control time.
He couldn't exert any influence on the rabbit in front of him, whose body had been temporarily borrowed by the gods, for the river of time had failed to wash away anything as it flowed past him.
Since one second is like this, then washing for 10,000 years will make no difference.
Wang Heng looked at the time on the throne with interest.
In his cognition, time was involved in one of the five magicians, but it was the first time he had seen such a materialized and self-conscious time as it was in front of him.
There are not many opportunities to observe time directly, even if it's just a fictional bubble world, which is a precious experience.
He involuntarily opened up the digital perspective that he had not actively used for a long time, and began to analyze the composition of time.
But after a moment, he sighed in disappointment and turned off his digital perspective.
The so-called time in front of him is just a puppet, even he himself probably doesn't know what he looks like, and all he can see in Wang Heng's eyes is the flesh and blood of the creature in front of him.
At the core, there is an unbreakable light.
Time has not changed fundamentally with the change of the worldβat least not in the world where there are pearls with him, and it can only be said that it is expressed in a more plain and straightforward way in this world.
After all, the more shallow and rudimentary the rules, the easier it is to destroy the world.
Because the way of holding the rules is simplified, just like he can easily control the world by the administrator authority given by Youzhu, the closer he is to the core of the world, the stronger his authority will be.
The Temple of Time is the core of this world, and here he does have the power to be close to the gods.
But time is still an eternal iron rule, even if it is replaced by this funny form of existence, Wang Heng can't easily explain it, and he doesn't have so much time to stay in this world and study it slowly.
"Can you take me to the Eternal Bell to see it?" Wang Heng still politely inquired about the nominal owner of this place.
Time sat upright on the throne and looked at Wang Heng: "What should I call you?" β
He looked solemn and looked at Wang Heng for the first time.
Wang Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's okay to call me a rabbit." β
Time hesitated: "Mr. Rabbit, do you need any help?" β
Wang Heng laughed: "Didn't I say it? Bell of eternity. β
Time took a deep breath and nodded, "Please follow me." β
Then he got up and walked towards the depths of the main hall.
The design of the Temple of Time tends to be grandiose, and the main color is gray, but in fact there are not so many elements that symbolize time, and more of a straightforward and simple style.
said "follow me", but time didn't dare to walk in front of Wang Heng, so he could only be by his side.
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Heng had been studying the structure of the temple with great interest, but the time was restless, seeing that he was about to arrive at the main hall where the Bell of Eternity was located, he shook his teeth and asked, "Can I ask you what you are doing when you come to the Temple of Time?" β
He knew that as soon as he asked this, he was trespassing, which was really questioning the gods.
But I couldn't bear the fear in my heart.
Wang Heng retracted his gaze and glanced at him: "Come and get something." β
Time breathed a sigh of relief, there wasn't much to worry about in the temple, the most precious things were to be kept as the core of the world, and if it was just to take something, there shouldn't be any problem.
My heart slowed down a little, and the tone of time couldn't help but warm up: "What is it?" Maybe I know where I can get it back for you. β
Wang Heng smiled: "No, I know where it is, just go and get it when I leave later." β
Hearing that Wang Heng was going to leave later, the time was settled, and the two of them had already arrived at the Bell of Eternity.
Time stopped, raised his hand, and proudly said to Wang Heng: "This is the bell of eternity!" β
Wang Heng raised his head, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of admiration.
It was a huge bell that even a temple as tall as the Temple of Time was held up to its full.
The dial is transparent, revealing the intricate gear structure inside, and three huge hands of varying lengths walk with precision and no change.
The second hand moves quickly but not in a hurry, the minute hand calmly but without slowness, and the hour hand moves forward slowly but firmly.
The movement of time was presented in front of Wang Heng's eyes with unprecedented clarity, and he could even see how time changed from an ancient river to a visible appearance in front of him in the rotation of each gear.
Compared to the Eternal Clock, the time around us is like a dispensable parasite.
This giant bell is the condensation of the truth of time, and only in this kind of inferior world can Wang Heng have the opportunity to glimpse the mystery of time with his eyes.
He was even a little obsessed for a while, and the digital perspective unconsciously unfolded, combined with the magic knowledge he had learned in the past, trying to establish a model of the operation of the giant clock, and his eyes gradually lost their luster and became deep but indifferent.
It is like a god who calmly watches the changes of everything without any interference.
β¦β¦
"Zheng"!
The sound of the Qingyue sword sounded, and Alice raised the Walber sword in her hand.
The layer of misty gray on the body of the Dim Sword had long since disappeared, and it flowed with silver light in a more dazzling appearance than when he forcibly opened the seal in Wang Heng's hands.
The dragon's eyes were already full of fear, and he kept attacking Alice.
But the invisible shield blocked everything out, and Alice raised the sword in her hand and calmly looked at the dragon outside the mask.
The six things she agreed with the world, the world has completed.
And now she needs to complete one thing the world has given her: slay the Exploding Dragon.
Swing your sword lightly and slash down.
The dragon dodged in a hurry, but avoided his neck, and the sword struck his dragon wing.
Half of the dragon's wings silently detached from the dragon's body and fell to the ground with a muffled thud.
The dragon stared at its half-broken wings in disbelief, and froze for a moment before letting out an earth-shattering wail.
The dragon didn't dare to hesitate any longer, dragging the remaining half of the dragon's wings and stumbling towards the Red Queen's side.
The White Queen's eyes sharpened, and she said loudly: "Soldiers! The moment of victory has come! Charge! β
The Mad Hatter drew his longsword and slowly pointed forward, giving an order that bordered on a roar: "Charge!" β
The Knights began to charge in silence, and the torrent of black and white converged into a sharp arrow, leading the leader to rush towards the opposing army.
The furry monster roared and followed the knights as they charged, with the twins and the mouse Miley sitting on their backs.
Elankoth pulled out her own branches, and the glowing green light shone on the charging knights, bringing them endless vitality.
Behind her, the giant treemen turned their branches into large hands, smashing hard boulders into enemy formations like giant trebuchets.
The Red Queen didn't speak, just glanced at Anriel, who was guarding beside her.
Anriel gave the standard salute with a serious expression: "Fight for you, my majesty." β
Then Ce immediately stepped forward, drew his sword, and ordered with a solemn face: "Array! β
The poker soldiers were silent and began to change formations, their armor grinding against each other, their shields in front and their spears behind, forming a barbed iron-clad defense, like an impregnable red fortress, marching forward in orderly steps, each step echoing endlessly, but with a neat heartstring.
On the side, each of the furry monsters roared excitedly, eager to rush out and shred their enemies and taste the flesh.
The armies of the two sides soon fought together, the shouts of killing and the sound of jingo were deafening on the battlefield, no blood flowed out, but the stumps and broken arms flew around, in addition to cruelty, it was even more strange.
Alice chased after the dragon with the Walber sword, but her feet were not as fast as the dragon, and often when the dragon took a step, she had to catch up with ten paces, and the poker soldiers along the way also flocked to Alice's location.
At first, Alice was still controlling herself not to kill too many poker soldiers, but when the Knights led by the Mad Hatter joined the group, the casualties were no longer under her control, and everyone was obsessed with the madness of charging, swinging knives, and fighting, full of desire to kill.
The dragon had drifted away, but Alice was still trapped in the crowd of soldiers, and her invisible light in the face of the dragon was useless in front of them, and she could only rely on her armor and sword to support herself.
Seeing that the dragon was about to flee to the edge of the battlefield in the sky, Alice's manic anger finally exploded.
"Kill!" With a roar, Alice slashed down with a sword, and Walber's sword lived up to her expectations, and the silver-white sword light erupted, sweeping out several feet of sword light, sweeping away the poker soldiers in front of him, and sweeping a gap in the battlefield.
But in the next moment, the endless red tide rushed forward to fill in the gap that had just been opened.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Ellie swung her sword without hesitation, and continued to slash the poker soldiers in front of her, without any softness in her eyes.
Once the killing starts, it can't be stopped.
