Colonial Suit

The air was thick, almost tangible, and the whole world seemed to stand still. Blood瞳 and Muse were enveloped in a mysterious force, flying towards the Gate of Eternal Farewell. Everything around them felt distant and unreal, as if they existed in another world.

Of course, this wasn't time stopping; it was extreme acceleration.

Like Blood瞳's bullet time, this acceleration increased the recipient's time flow by tens of thousands of times, creating the illusion that the whole world had stopped. However, the difference was that Blood瞳's bullet time enhanced the reaction of nerves and flesh, while Hec's time stop truly accelerated time. In a few short seconds, he made Blood瞳 and Muse experience several hours.

What could be done in a few hours?

That wasn't really a question. Space warriors reacted in microseconds. Even a battle would be over in a few hours. If it were on the battlefield before them, it would be enough for Blood瞳 to cut through the enemy's ranks twice over. So when they entered this state, no one could stop them!

The Gate of Eternal Farewell was close at hand!

Watching the massive energy gate enlarge before their eyes, Blood瞳 and Muse tensed up. They didn't know what was behind the gate, but they were sure no one was preparing a feast for them. Xie and Saros were extremely powerful enemies, and might very well be lying in ambush on the other side.

Just then, a furious voice came from above.

"Stop!! How dare you!?"

What?

Blood瞳 and Muse were shocked and quickly looked up, only to see a figure rushing towards them in anger. The white robe, the old face full of wrinkles… wasn't that the Boka Prophet from before? But how was he still able to move freely? And Pluto, who had been fighting him, was frozen in place?

Not good, this Boka Prophet must also have some time-related abilities!

In an instant, they understood the key to the situation. Blood瞳 and Muse's expressions immediately darkened. Their ability to move freely depended entirely on Muse's time rules. If the other party also possessed the same abilities, wouldn't they be on equal footing? The most crucial point was that the other party was a genuine Divine Domain expert, and stopping the two of them wouldn't be too difficult!

Without Pluto's help, Blood瞳 and Muse would never be able to break through the Boka Prophet's obstruction!

In a flash of inspiration, Muse made a decision. He gave Blood瞳 a look to continue forward and stopped, knowing that this might not be in line with humanity's plan, but there was no other choice at this moment. Even if he entered the Gate of Eternal Farewell, he couldn't defeat Xie and Saros without Blood瞳's power, let alone secure a place in the sun for humanity.

Blood瞳 was once a human, and as such, he had the right and obligation to speak for humanity.

Muse prepared to stop the Boka Prophet!

But just as he was about to turn around, Hec's voice came.

"Go!"

Following the voice, they saw that Hec had somehow reached out his hand towards the Boka Prophet in the sky. His head of withered hair became even paler, and countless bloody cracks suddenly appeared on his dry skin.

"Transaction with Time! Ten thousand times!!"

"Stop, Hec! You're going to die!" Muse's eyes were about to split open. A transaction with time required an equivalent exchange. The previous acceleration had already aged Hec this much. If he traded even more, wouldn't he die instantly? He was using his remaining time to exchange for this moment of respite!

But it was too late. Once a transaction with time was initiated, it couldn't be stopped. Hec raised his head, smiling proudly as usual, and said to Muse, "Go, don't stop."

"Don't let my efforts be in vain!"

His outstretched fingers suddenly clenched. Hec's voice was like the reprimand of a god.

"Delay!!"

"Absolute Stop!"

Boom, the whole world seemed to shake, and the Boka Prophet's figure suddenly froze, as if the pause button had been pressed in a movie. His time was forcibly stopped at this moment by Hec. Even with more power, he couldn't use it! This was the absoluteness of the time rule, and also the horror of Hec!!

But in this world, any power came at a price. The time rule was indeed powerful, but its power depended on who used it. If it was a Divine Domain expert, stopping the time of another Divine Domain expert might only cost half of their lifespan. But for Hec, it required all of it, and even all of it wasn't enough!

Muse dared not hesitate any longer. He turned and rushed towards Blood瞳. Both of them accelerated to the limit, like a black lightning bolt cutting through the battlefield, and plunged into the Gate of Eternal Farewell!

In the final moment of entering the Gate of Eternal Farewell, Muse looked back.

He saw Hec falling, and the Boka Prophet's unwilling roar in the sky.

"No!!"

Darkness filled his eyes, and the Gate of Eternal Farewell swallowed Muse and Blood瞳. Behind them, Hec fell backward, his eyes calm.

Time…

…no longer belonged to him.

The newest novels are first published at Liu-9-Shu-Ba!

The sky was dark… like an endless night. But Hec also found it beautiful. The flames of war receded around him. The world became quieter and quieter. That beautiful face appeared before his eyes again. Those tearful eyes.

"I'm sorry… Nina."

"I'm afraid I can't do what I promised."

Hec whispered softly, his life accelerating away. He felt a little cold. The only thing that comforted him was his feelings for Nina. And his brother, Jie, as well. Surely, after he left, Jie would take good care of Nina…

Don't let her… cry for me.

Using his last bit of strength to send this message to Jie, Hec closed his eyes.

"Damn it! You lowly wretch! I'll kill you! Kill you!!"

A thunderous roar echoed in the sky. The Boka Prophet rushed towards Hec like a madman. Who was he? The most powerful Divine Domain expert of the Boka clan. Even in the ancient Great Chaos era, he was a true top-tier powerhouse. He was actually forcibly stopped in time by a low-level warrior like Hec. What an humiliation!

How many years had it been since Pluto had made him taste humiliation? When had he ever been so stifled? Especially since Hec was so weak, it made him feel like he had been slapped hard across the face.

The furious Boka Prophet arrived in front of Hec in an instant, and grabbed for Hec's neck with one hand.

He knew Hec would die, but he also wanted Hec to taste a fate worse than death. Only then would he feel better.

Unfortunately, when his fingers were only a millimeter away from Hec's neck, a black light swept over, forcing him to withdraw his right hand.

"Don't stop me! Dirk! He has insulted the dignity of a Divine Domain expert!!"

"Dignity isn't given by others, it's earned by oneself. In my opinion, he has more dignity than you," Dirk replied, slowly retracting the long sword in his hand, then coldly spitting out a word.

"Get lost!" (To be continued ~^~)
