Chapter 104: The Cradle of Tranquility
In a mess of snow, in the midst of falling snow, the young Glory Man threw aside his training ironwood greatsword, and gasped for air with his hands on his knees.
He was tired.
And not only because of the activation of ability, but also because of ...... He had to do that.
He had to tell the others, tell all the people who were watching, tell the great sword-wielders, tell Wyman, tell them...... His exhaustion, and his weakness.
Because, this was originally a play, a play for those big people who were on top.
He knows the essence of this fight.
For Webster, it was a necessary means to unite the scattered alliance and unite the hearts and minds of the people.
And for him, for Wyman, it's just part of their contest, a battle of temptation and counter-temptation.
Therefore, who is the real winner has nothing to do with the outcome of this battle, but depends on whether they achieve the predetermined goal.
In this regard, Webster is the undisputed winner.
As for whether he himself is qualified to take the winner's crown, it is still unknown, as well as the reaction of the big names in the stands, especially Wyman.
Will you buy it?
The Glory One is not very sure.
It is not difficult for him to simply defeat the enemy and win the battle.
The difficulty is to be able to hide your peculiarities just right while winning - especially when Wyman is likely to have developed suspicions, this kind of caution, this kind of caution, is essential.
The choice of the training ground, which is shrouded in wind and snow all day long, on the outskirts of Canaan, as the venue for the duel between the two sides is largely based on this factor.
- Snowflakes fluttering in the wind are the best shelter to hide their anomalies.
Although he had no doubt that those with great swords would not lack the means to watch the battle, it was only natural that bad weather would inevitably affect their observations, and some subtleties would be overlooked.
What's more, what he relies on is not only the convenience of the venue, but also the further development of his own capabilities.
Overspeeding status.
This is his name for his newly mastered ability, which is a derivative ability developed based on a further grasp of time stagnancy.
This is not an uncommon occurrence among the Glory, such as the Dark Traveler Ignati, whom he once encountered, whose ability to manipulate blood is that in real combat, he can not only command blood as if it were a part of his own body, but can also transform its physical properties, making it a deadly spear, a shield to protect vital points, and a bandage to prevent further wounds...... The list goes on and on.
And his death premonsion, although he has always been extremely wary of this strange ability, but in the process of continuous use, the development of the ability is also deepening, and in the end, he even derived a prophetic ability, which can predict the future of the death of people related to him to a certain extent.
It's just that...... When he learned that the abilities given to him by the stigmata could continue to generate derivative abilities, Jiasu behaved very strangely, abnormally strange.
And, more importantly, he didn't get an explanation from her.
There is always a haze in his heart.
Although the mood was not very pleasant, this did not prevent the Glory from sorting out this ability from the Order.
Through the continuous use and practice in the dream of Jiasu——
First, he has a more refined control over the stagnant time, and the limit time of time stagnation has almost been extended to four and two seconds, but he has encountered a bottleneck in splitting these four points and two seconds for segmented use - he can only split it into two uses at most, and the use time after the split is also greatly limited, each time can only be stagnant for less than a second at most, if the stagnant time exceeds one second, he will not have the strength to stagnate time again.
Second, he tried to include the factor of the scope of time stagnation into the controllable factors, but this aspect had little effect, and after nearly half a month of hard work, he had been able to roughly perceive the scope of time stagnation every time he activated his ability, but it seemed that he lacked some necessary conditions, so he was stuck somewhere, and he was never able to intervene accordingly.
Third, he developed a derivative ability that he named Overspeed. If stagnant time is about making time stand still, then overdrive is about slow time—or rather, relatively slow time. In his eyes when he entered the state of overdrive, the flow of time was infinitely slowed down, but his own speed did not change much, so the "speed" of the state of overdrive is a veritable speed surpass.
Compared with time stagnation, the pressure on his body to enter the overdrive state is much less, and he can keep it for about ten seconds in the limit state, and it has a certain impact on the use of ten seconds, but it is not big, and it is generally a deteriorated version of time stagnation, which will be very practical in low-end battles, but in the face of those who are really at the peak, they may be able to seize the opportunity to a certain extent, but don't want to decide the winner with this.
To distinguish between them, he named the Stigmata-derived ability the Cradle of Tranquility, which includes the Ring of Stagnation that can stop time, as well as the Overdrive, and if new derivative abilities can be developed in the future, he will continue to fill this system to enrich his means.
Of course, that's all for later.
The top priority now is ......
He looked up at the man in the snow.
That's the judge of this showdown.
After the initial shock, he came back to his senses and arranged for the medical team, who had been waiting for a long time, to carry away the thirteen unconscious people one by one and send them to the hospital for corresponding examinations.
Then, Amy's victory was declared.
"How did you do that—" The referee in charge of the confrontation asked subconsciously, but as soon as the words fell, he realized that something was wrong and changed his words, "No, I mean congratulations, congratulations, Judas." ”
"If there's no follow-up," the Glory-Honoring Man smiled weakly, exhaustion written on his face, "I need to rest. ”
"There are no follow-up arrangements for the time being," replied the sword-wielder who was the judge of this showdown, "but Lord Wyman is very interested in you, and you will need to make a trip to his office if you have time." ”
"Okay, I got it. Amy waved her hand and didn't refuse, because he knew that he had no room for refusal, so he just, and could only say "thank you" to the other party.
Then turn around, and walk away.
The ceremonial smile on his face faded and was replaced by a solemn one.
Thing......
It doesn't seem to be over yet.
