Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 215

Chapter 215

“Let go!” There was no trace of composure left in Shadow’s voice.

Both of their figures had nearly turned illusory.

For the first time, Shadow raised its blade and hacked viciously at its own arm.

It moved too fast. In the blink of an eye, one of Shadow’s hands vanished. Sheng An reached for another part of it, but Shadow flashed aside and frantically activated its Time Ability.

Without hesitation-

Bang!

Li Wanyun, Li Xin, Long Tianyu, Wu Buyu, Liu Yue, Ke Jiaxue, and the others had already consumed a great deal of their Supernatural Ability after attacking nonstop, but at this moment, they still drained themselves dry and unleashed everything they had at the Time Aberrant.

They did not know what had happened in the other Time.

But their long-established tacit understanding, along with the reactions of Sheng An and Shadow, told them one thing-this was the most critical moment.

“Roar!”

Shadow howled, but it had no choice but to divert its Supernatural Ability to pull on Time.

So many high-level Superpower Users attacking at full force, all landing their blows at the same instant-even an Immortal Body would temporarily lose the ability to move, and recovery would take time.

Shadow had no choice but to use its Time Ability.

But in the single second when Shadow split its focus to activate its Supernatural Ability, Sheng An seized it again, and the other Time was pulled…
Apocalypse Month Three.

He saw it!

Qi Lingwu did not hesitate. King’s Anchor opened to its limit. Under the effect of Time, aided by Loophole, he crossed Time and anchored onto the Shadow still within the Four Small Mountains.

He emptied every last bit of energy his body could use, the depleted parts of him aching unbearably.

-Sheng An, everything is going smoothly.

Then Qi Lingwu’s gaze sharpened. In the void, a massive gun appeared. Using all of his Supernatural Ability, amid the agony, he fired at that blurry Shadow.

Bang!

Crack-

Amid the sound of shattering, this Time Layer completely turned to dust and smoke.
Apocalypse Year Three.

Shadow froze in place. The eyes hidden beneath the cloak first filled with disbelief, then shock. Finally, as its figure began to fade, it vanished along with Apocalypse Month Three, completely turning into dust and smoke.

And the instant Shadow disappeared, pieces of Meteorite Fragment fell all over the ground, smashing down at Sheng An’s feet.

Even after collecting them all along the way, this number still left them shaken.

No wonder the Time Aberrant was so powerful!

Whoosh-

The wind rose. The struggling, fluctuating Time around them quieted in an instant, and the twisting Space Ability returned to stability.

And that rift vanished in the same instant.

If Houttuynia had not pulled itself out quickly, it probably would have been left in that world as well.

Even so, it only managed to save one leaf. The other disappeared along with the rift.

The world seemed to fall silent at that moment.

Sheng An’s previously blurred figure was gradually becoming clear.

Jiang Yu opened her mouth. After a long moment, she finally squeezed out, “What… happened?”

Jia Guangliang had only just joined the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, so he was still relatively clear-headed. His voice was soft. “The Time Aberrant is dead. And the other Time is gone too.”

“Qi Dui and Shan Hua?” Jiang Yu looked blankly at Hao Jingye.

In truth, she knew.

But she did not want to believe it.

Hao Jingye pressed his lips together. Only after a long while did he speak, his voice obscure and difficult. “…They sacrificed themselves.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes instantly grew wet, and she could not say another word.

Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun, who had just wrung their Supernatural Ability dry, exchanged a glance before looking worriedly at Sheng An at the same time.

Sheng An’s figure was becoming clearer and clearer.

Once she completely returned to this world, how was she supposed to accept the fact that Qi Lingwu and Shan Hua had sacrificed themselves?

They were grieving, but they were even more worried about Sheng An.

Sheng An did not speak. On the contrary, she was very calm. The energy Song Linwei had transferred to her had been completely exhausted. Her figure would only become clearer and clearer until she fully merged into the Time Layer of Apocalypse Year Three.

Her body split in two once more.

One half was shocked and collapsing. The other half was thinking calmly.

Just as her body was about to become fully clear, she slowly brought out the hand she had kept hidden behind her back.

Dripping with blood, it was clutching pieces of Meteorite Fragment.

During her contest with the Time Aberrant just now, she had been thinking about one question the entire time. The Time Aberrant was the Southwest’s Blood Pool Aberrant. The reason it had become so powerful was that it had used the Southwest as its Blood Pool and absorbed the power of the Fragments.

And its endless Supernatural Ability came from the existence of the Fragments.

Then-

Could a Superpower User do the same?

Just like Song Linwei and Gu Qiansheng’s experiment. If Aberrants could do it, why couldn’t humans?

This was a species invasion, and Aberrants knew better than humans how to use Fragments.

Then, when there was no other choice, could humans learn to use them the way Aberrants did?

This thought was her fallback plan.

Sheng An had always liked keeping a few more trump cards. She took risks, but she also made sure she had enough cards to win.

That was why she had only attacked once.

After that, every time, she had only used one hand to hold on to the Time Aberrant. Her other hand had stayed behind her back, soaking the Fragments in her own blood as she tried to draw out the energy inside them.

When she refused to let the Time Aberrant leave and said, “I am going to win,” she had already figured out a little.

Aberrants liked the blood of high-level Superpower Users.
How much power from the Fragments could the blood of a 9-Star Superpower User catalyze?

When the Time Aberrant died, Fragments scattered all over the ground.

That meant the Time Aberrant had carried them at all times. It needed those Fragments in order to control Time.

At the instant “Apocalypse Month Three” collapsed, Sheng An seemed to truly sense the rules that belonged to Time. The Time Aberrant had needed this many Fragments and the entire Southwest Blood Pool just to accelerate Time.

-Because Time was the hardest thing to control.

Forcibly dragging it forward required an enormous amount of energy.

But what if she did not forcefully drag it forward? What if she restored Time-the Time that had been forcibly pulled ahead-by following the rules and order?

Would that mean she did not need such a massive amount of power?

Sheng An’s body grew hotter and hotter. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but her gaze grew clearer and calmer…

The hand she had raised bled profusely. All of that blood fell to the ground, splashing across the countless Meteorite Fragments.

Surging energy poured from the Fragment in her hand into her body.

Her dried-up land of Supernatural Ability was nourished, healing at a frantic speed.

Her Supernatural Ability had officially recovered.

But it was not enough!

Nowhere near enough!

On the ground, blood flowed over the Fragments. More and more Fragments were stained with her blood, and more and more energy was flooding toward her. Her body, which had gradually been becoming clearer, blurred into a phantom once more.

Li Xin stared, dumbstruck.

Jiang Yu grabbed Hao Jingye. “What is Sister Sheng doing?”

As more and more blood spilled out, she said nervously, “What do we do? Will Sister Sheng lose too much blood?”

Jia Guangliang asked, “Should I treat her?”

He was clearly hesitant.

Hao Jingye stared fixedly at the scene before him.

He shook his head. “No. We wait.”

-None of them knew what Sheng An intended to do, but their long-standing tacit understanding made them trust Sheng An unconditionally.

Behind Sheng An’s phantom figure, a clock that everyone could see suddenly appeared.

The sight was shocking!

A huge circle, strange markings, white hands… Just one glance was enough to make one’s heart seize.

The clock seemed to carry endless power, enough to make anyone tremble.

On it, the hands that had originally been moving very fast slowed down. They were now moving gently at a normal speed, perhaps because of the chaos in Time. The hands trembled slightly.

And because everyone had grown used to the clock’s originally rapid movement, its slowing down now felt strange instead.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

Sheng An did not turn around. She was still thinking through her idea.

This so-called Apocalypse Year Three in the Southwest had been forcibly dragged forward by the Time Aberrant. Now that the Time Aberrant was dead, the world it had forcibly pulled forward would return to the normal flow of Time.

But it was still different.

The world was in “Apocalypse Month Three,” while this place was the forcibly dragged-out “Apocalypse Year Three.” Without the Time Aberrant supporting it, it was on the verge of collapse.

The hands on the clock behind her continued to shake, already reaching a point of instability.
Southwest Market.

The Superpower Users who had returned to the market watched in terror as someone pointed at the castle. Above it was an enormous clock, but at that moment, the flow of the clock’s hands was slowing in their eyes!

“What’s going on? Is that clock no longer accurate?”

“Maybe. It is the Apocalypse, after all. It’s normal for something like that to be affected and break.”

“What a shame. The Divine Lord… Ah, no, Brother Jia went through so much trouble to find it.”

“Why do I feel like it’s only normal now that it’s slowed down? Wasn’t it too fast before?”

…

As they spoke, the slowed hands suddenly began to tremble, shaking violently.

“What’s happening?!”
Outside the Southwest.

Qiu Yu lowered her head and glanced at her wristwatch. The latest message read-

[Southwest tremors. Wormhole earthquake. Go check it out immediately. Do not enter the Southwest. Observe from nearby!]

Qiu Yu pressed her lips together. “Faster.”

The mutated bat sped up.

Before she even drew close, she could already sense the alarming aura coming from the direction of the Southwest.

What exactly was going on?

-Sheng An… should be fine, right?
Southwest.

The hands trembled more and more violently. The surroundings, which had just calmed down, fell into turmoil once again. They all knew this was caused by fluctuations in Time.

No one spoke. They all looked at Sheng An, uneasy and on edge.

But Sheng An suddenly smiled.

The vast energy flooding endlessly into her body condensed into a gigantic Time Hand.

She turned around, gripping a blood-soaked Meteorite Fragment in one hand. Her other hand lifted, and the gigantic Time Hand moved with her.

She pushed the violently shaking hands of the clock in the opposite direction.

White light blazed, so dazzling that almost nothing could be seen. Hao Jingye and the others were forced to narrow their eyes, tears welling up from the glare.

Through their blurred vision,

they saw Sheng An continue turning the clock hands as she murmured, “The Time that went wrong should return to its proper course…”

At this moment, she finally confirmed her own Supernatural Ability. At last, without restraint, she used her power-

[Rule and Order Ability: Time.]

Time Reversal, Time Manipulation, Time Alteration, Time Hand…

The true Time Ability, the Master of the Clock.
