Permanent Gaze
Faced with this woman wielding a sword through spacetime, Gao Gong's first reaction was—Fuck, again!? The spacetime monster is still chasing me!!
But he quickly realized what was happening.
This was a system benefit. In theory, wild monsters shouldn't exist here.
So what was this?
Gao Gong studied the other party curiously.
The other party's human outline was composed entirely of spacetime threads, as though she were hiding beyond the universe.
Her swordsmanship was also incredibly beautiful.
Not merely beautiful—it even carried a hint of familiarity.
As "she" swung the sword in her hand, it became the only flowing light in this spacetime.
The path traced by the blade was not a fleeting line. Instead, it left behind streaks of crystalline "scars" in space that faded only after a delay.
These scars were not motionless. Like bands of light swaying beneath the water, they slowly twisted and deformed, recording every subtle turn of the sword's momentum from beginning to end.
Her movements themselves appeared strangely fragmented.
Whenever she spun, the folds of her skirt did not unfurl smoothly. Instead, they blossomed frame by frame like petals, freezing for an instant into countless overlapping, gradually shifting afterimages. Only then did those afterimages slowly merge, completing the flourish.
When her toes lightly tapped the ground, ripples spread outward from the point of contact at an incredibly slow speed, as though the ground were a viscous pool.
Within the ripples, one could even see motes of dust being disturbed and slowly rising, as if everything had been slowed hundreds of times.
"Pretty impressive."
"Could this be a benefit from the system?"
This strange thought suddenly surfaced in Gao Gong's mind.
He knew that the system itself was rather unserious.
So when giving him benefits, it wasn't impossible for it to slip
