Chapter 461: Duality in One: Movement and Stillness: The Ultimate Manipulation of Time!
Human beings are always with time, but ...... What is time?
Time is a parameter used by human beings to describe the process of material movement or the occurrence of events, and refers to the various change processes of the material state of the macrocosm with non-stopping, continuous and irreversible, and the measurement of continuous events with common properties.
But Einstein said that time is an illusion of human perception.
When the astronaut returns from several years in space, he realizes that more than a dozen years have passed on Earth, and the passage of time experienced by him has slowed down several times due to the high-speed movement.
In the movie "Extradimensional Killing Array 2: Hypercube", there is a kind of accelerated passage of time that is just the opposite, that is, the cause of the dry corpses in the plot that are not corrupted at all, perhaps because of the particularity of the body in reality but the consciousness in the quantum space, their thinking does not feel the normal acceleration of the passage of time, but the body in the abnormal space has not escaped this law, and it consumes life at a rate of millions of times. I thought I had aged for more than a hundred years in just a few dozen minutes.
Just like the girl in red and the witty boy who had crazy sex, counting the foreplay, the two of them had already rapidly aged and turned into dehydrated dried corpses before they even finished a single shot, and the same was true of several other parallel dimensions, who unknowingly fell into such a crisis, and died quietly before they could react.
-- It was definitely not a peaceful death.
When I felt the aging of my body, I was so weak that I could only keep moving like that. Even the right to cry and scream was completely denied, and finally a painful and desperate death ushered in a liberating death.
And at this moment, Xiao Lan ...... He was experiencing the horror.
Before entering this hypercube world. He was looking forward to this moment when it would become an opportunity to advance, but at this moment, when he really encountered this situation, he was extremely grateful for his luck and misfortune.
Why the misfortune?
Because his original plan was to experience the difference in the passage of time, as long as his body was in two rooms with different time flow rates at the same time, he could clearly feel the difference, in principle, he could perceive that the "acceleration" opposite to the "deceleration" that he had mastered, could derive the static realm to the point where he could freely control the flow of time. Gain the ability to theoretically unleash light-speed punches that allow fighters to be strengthened to the limit.
But things didn't go so well, he jumped directly into this dimension, and in the absence of a reference, he would be the same as the "dry corpses". By the time he reacted, he had already lost most of his strength, and even if he could escape from this space in a hurry, he would definitely have a good chance of saying hello to the Grim Reaper in the next battle after decades of aging.
However, he was lucky.
The accelerated passage of time. This feeling...... He was familiar.
Whether it's the stationary limits that have been mastered. It is also the "technique" of time acceleration in the prospect, which is essentially to cut off time in a specific space from the flow of time in the outside world, so as to manipulate time to a certain extent.
However, this is not a reversal of causality to change the past time modification, but only a time adjustment that stagnates past time and accelerates future time. Although it is infinitely close to the non-reproducible "law", it is still a "technique" that can be achieved by relying on human power.
So it's not a very difficult technique to implement, it's just the size of the enchantment and the time frame that needs to be adjusted.
By limiting the scope of this power only to the practitioner's body, the world's influence on anomaly correction is minimized. The time required to increase the blood flow in one's body, the burning of hemoglobin, and the movement of muscle tissue is doubled, so that the time in one's body is high-speed. Perform physical skills that are impossible for ordinary people...... This is the so-called inherent time system.
In the early days, he instinctively awakened this ability, but it could only be applied to his own body.
And this is not so much time manipulation as a kind of "explosion" ability, which multiplies the explosion of body functions to gain combat effectiveness, and does not affect even a part of the space, and at first glance it does not involve the scope of distorting the laws of the world at all.
But in any case, the effect is equivalent to time acceleration...... He still remembers it vividly.
- And at this moment, he felt it clearly.
Although he didn't feel any improvement in his body's functions because of the influence of his normal time on his mind, the cells were burning like crazy, squeezing the vitality out of all corners, accelerating the limit of the pathological metabolism of the tissues, and he couldn't ignore it no matter how he felt the same thing.
Time Acceleration......
Because he had this power, he knew its horror.
The lifespan of a human being is not equal to the lifespan of a cell, proliferation, differentiation, aging, and death are a process of the cell, but under the acceleration of time that violates the laws of the universe, the cell will not be able to renew the apoptotic cells by dividing and proliferating, so if the cell dies in the acceleration process, the body function will be seriously damaged irrepressibly.
Xiao Lan used to use the limit multiplier of the inherent time system did not exceed ten times, and in the later stage, it was abandoned because the explosion effect was not as good as that of the demon transformation, but he didn't forget the sequelae of acceleration at all-
Not to mention ten times, even five times the body has almost collapsed, and the cells of the whole body are wailing and screaming because they are overwhelmed!
And now the words...... Ten times? No, far more than that.
Comparing her feelings, Xiao Lan came to an astonishing conclusion, about tens of seconds is equivalent to more than ten years, that is, a full ten million times the acceleration of the pass!
It's terrifying, but it's still an opportunity.
"Parallel dimensions are allowed to overlap in the mirrored corridor, and in this space...... Allowing unlimited time manipulation? ”
The moment this whisper came out of his mouth, Xiao Lan, who had been old for several months in a few seconds, raised his head, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately activated the strategy to deal with it.
- Stillness: Life stands still!
The colorless transparent light flashed in the accelerated time, and Xiao Lan, who switched to a static style, urged this power to the limit. The "static force" that stagnates the flow of time is applied to himself.
Strictly speaking, this is eternal life in a certain sense.
The passage of time in the flesh has stopped, and it will never grow old if it does not continue to grow. Maintain the youthful vitality of the flesh forever.
After waking up from those three years of slumber, his body has actually almost stopped growing, and if it is not strengthened by the main god, he may have maintained the appearance of being eighteen years old, looking as slender and weak as a woman, thinking that this is actually one of the potential effects of the power of nothingness, compared to the more obvious intuition, this seems to be a little worthless, but at this time it has become the key to saving lives.
It is no longer an instinct to stop growing, but an active urge to drive this power. forcibly slows down the passage of time in the body.
Double. Quadruple, eightfold, sixteenfold......
At a speed that I never imagined before. In just a few seconds, he superimposed the rate of time stagnation to a million times, which is absolutely terrifying if this were in the real world, and the blink of an eye has quietly passed for several years, and the side effects are enough to turn people into real "stones".
But at this moment. Its role is to slow down with a limit of time. to counter the acceleration of time in this space.
-- And then, finally, the balance was reached.
The anomalous aging has stopped, and all is quiet again.
Although the lost time is irretrievable, compared to the realization that will be gained, this life is definitely worth the price.
Time Acceleration......
The opposite of the static limit, another form of manipulation of time.
Although the process was much more complicated than expected, Xiao Lan ...... He finally grasped the opportunity of this realization.
The realm of rest maintained in the body extends outside the body. And then spread out to the surroundings, but did not erode the surrounding space with a mental landscape. It's like a tune, and they tolerate each other and coexist with each other.
You have me, I have you.
"Is this time......
Xiao Lan muttered to herself, the familiar nothingness surged in an instant, and the boundless emptiness seemed to be able to swallow everything.
But I don't know if it's the long-term adaptation to this power, or the acceptance of his own new understanding, he doesn't have the slightest emotion in the face of this boundless nothingness, just a very relaxed indifference, a kind of indifference that has finally reached the end.
So, I finally stepped into a new realm.
It's not just a deceleration of stillness, it's not just a simple acceleration.
"Movement" and "stillness", the duality of opposing opposites, merge into oneness.
In the end, it will be achieved.
"It's finally done, the ultimate self...... Manipulation of time. ”
muttered this ultimate declaration in a low voice, Xiao Lan's face showed no sadness or joy, and even his expression was as if he had penetrated everything, just like when the Void Demon Eye was rampant, it seemed that the next moment he would choose people to devour everything in the world to nothingness.
-- But that's not going to happen anymore.
It is he who controls nothingness, not nothingness who controls him.
The newborn nothingness in his heart, although it slightly affected his character, was the power that truly belonged to him, and as for the nothingness that remained in that dark age, he was destined to retrieve it, at this moment...... He already has the strength to face his fate!
But before that, let's let this all end first......
Faintly swept across the emptiness, but killing people in the invisible surrounding space, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Lan's mouth.
In the realm, he is now independent of the time around him, and no matter what happens to time in this dimension, he will no longer be affected by the manipulation of time.
In this space where the time control will not be corrected in any way, he jokingly accelerated the normal advance by ten million times, and instantly passed through this space at a speed that had surpassed light, and when he reached the portal to the next space in an instant, he was surprised to find that the location of the source code had not changed.
"I still haven't left, Celestials...... Are you looking forward to my door-to-door challenge? (To be continued.) )
PS: It's true that it's moving faster than light, 300,000 kilometers per second, and the speed of sound is a million times faster, so the light speed fist is already stress-free. But this only works in the field of expansion, and the magnification of acceleration is a problem...... There is no need to think about the normal world tens of millions of times, and the specific values are explained in the next chapter, which are not as outrageous as imagined.
