"Kill you, and you'll be free!" That was what Shepherd thought at that moment.
The instant the battle began, Shepherd had already made every preparation.
He moved incredibly fast, darting back and forth through different positions around Mokania in the blink of an eye.
Mokania shifted his gaze, his eyes swiftly locking onto Shepherd. The puppets around him followed suit, about to swarm Shepherd and restrict his movements.
However, Mokania noticed something was wrong.
His body was rapidly beginning to experience "hallucinations."
"Is my observation of things on the time scale becoming insufficient?" Mokania immediately realized what was happening.
Their greatest limitation as people from the real world had been precisely seized by Shepherd at this moment.
Their sense of time differed. The only reason they could live normally in this world was because they had accelerated the speed of their own thoughts, perceptions, and observations.
Thus, in this fictional world, their reaction speeds were comparatively slow.
Shepherd had seized upon that point. While moving at high speed, he released numerous objects moving at different speeds.
Those objects moving at different speeds created different sensory responses.
Simply put, he was doing everything he could to create perceptual noise, using it to interfere with the observer's internal perception.
Even Mokania's Golden Breed-level perception found the constantly shifting speeds around him unprecedentedly complex and unpredictable.
And Shepherd's movements only appeared uniform. In reality, they underwent fairly complicated changes, rapidly twisting and shifting.
This perceptual "restlessness" thus formed the hallucinations before him.
Objects overlapped and warped, and everything underwent a strange transformation under the repeated interference.
Mokania had reached the point where he found it difficult to truly distinguish Shepherd's actual location.
A moment ago, Shepherd had clearly been ahead of him in his perception, and the puppets had lunged forward to seize
