Akainu looked solemnly at Regulus who suddenly turned into a monster ten meters away.
At this time, his head had swelled into a three-meter-high sarcoma, and hundreds of mouths covered with spiral teeth were opening and closing simultaneously, each mouth swallowing screams of different tenses.
"Hey--!!!"
A sound wave swept across the battlefield, causing ripples in space and time.
Akainu saw the magma dripping between his fingers suddenly solidify. What was even more terrifying was that the streams of silver-blue light that were pulled away from him and the soldier Tianling Gai were converging towards the monster's mouth like a river.
"Click"
Akainu suddenly heard a crisp popping sound from his spine. He raised his hand to look, his pupils contracted violently - he saw patches of age spots appearing on the back of his hand.
The originally young and strong body was aging rapidly, and even the smell of sulfur lingering on the fingertips began to fade away.
This was still a change in his body. At this time, he also found that he seemed to have forgotten many things, including the hatred that had supported him over the years and the concept of justice.
"Damn it! Armament Haki·Meigō!"
Akainu roared angrily and used his existing memory to launch his most perfect punch.
However, the next moment, the gushing magma quickly degenerated into Mars.
Regulus One mouth is chewing on the scene when he obtained the fruit ability at the age of eighteen, and the other mouth is sucking on his extremely precious memory of time.
It was a family portrait of a family of three, with a boy and a girl in the middle smiling so happily and brightly.
When Akainu saw this picture, although he didn't know who they were at the moment, tears fell from his resolute face unconsciously.
"How pathetic!"
Countless huge mouths resonated in the turbulent flow of time and space, and shadows of Akainu of different ages emerged on the surface of the sarcoma.
"The life you are proud of is just a layer cake for me to enjoy."
"No! You monster, stop it!"
Akainu roared, his eyes gradually turned red, and the sudden sadness in his heart made him absolutely not want to lose that precious picture.
However, when Regulus, who turned into a monster, saw the grief and anger of Akainu, a crazier smile appeared on his face, and he chewed faster with his huge mouths.
"Haha! Yes! Yes! That's it, a little sad and a little powerless."
However, just when Regulus's madness reached its peak because of Akainu's increasingly angry and helpless expression.
A cold voice seemed to ring in his ears.
"Time Scar Slash--Danku!"
In an instant, the torrent of time around him was cut open as if by a pair of scissors, and the threads of time that had been converging towards Regulus's mouth were cut off one after another.
As the surroundings became increasingly chaotic, time seemed to be held tightly by a big invisible hand.
The space was instantly frozen, including Regulus, who also had the ability to control time.
Regulus turned the only movable eyeball and saw a man wearing a black uniform and a big cloak slowly walking over.
The hem of Uchiha Retsuyō's feathered fabric brushed over Akainu's shoulders, and Seven-Tomoe Sharingan's golden eyes turned slightly.
A hundred meters in radius instantly turned into a black and white silent film.
Regulus Looking at this man who suddenly appeared, a trace of fear gradually filled his originally crazy heart.
He saw the man slowly walking up to him, and with a slight tip of the knife, a strong pain was transmitted into Regulus's mind.
Regulus wanted to open his mouth and scream as hard as he could, but because his time Authority was suppressed from all directions, his only movable eyes at this moment could only reveal the ultimate cry.
Because Uchiha Retsuyō was cutting out all the fragments of time that he had swallowed from his stomach one by one from his stomach pouch.
"Do you like playing with other people's time?" Uchiha Retsuyō stepped on a fragment of time that was flowing backwards, "
"Does it make you happy to steal other people's lives?"
After saying this, Uchiha Retsuyō's blade paused slightly, and then drew a mysterious trajectory in the still space and time.
Countless bronze gears of time emerged from the void, surrounding Regulus.
"Having the ability to master time, do you think you can play with other people's lives?"
When a complete clock emerged from Retsuyō's golden seven Tomoe, the entire battlefield suddenly disintegrated into countless mirrors.
Each fragment reflects the appearance of Regulus at different times - the cowardice when he was young, and the wanton behavior of Authority when he grew up because he had mastered time.
"It's such a ridiculous life. Why do you have the same ability as me?"
After saying that, Retsuyō's knife tip was deeply inserted into Regulus's heart.
A ripple of time
Regulus suddenly emitted a high-frequency scream, and a mouth spat out Akainu's stolen time.
"A mere maggot of time is worthy of provoking Empire at this time!"
Uchiha Retsuyō's scabbard slowly revealed twelve markings, corresponding to the time numbers on the clock in his eyes.
"Pupillary Technique·Time Emperor."
The moment the sword light rose and fell, Regulus hundreds of mouths vomited rainbow-colored gastric juice at the same time.
Those were the lives of countless innocent people that he had devoured over hundreds of years.
The slime fell to the ground and instantly turned into a bronze cage. Each fence was a fragment of time that he had plundered, and now it actually wrapped around the main body.
Akainu stared blankly at his rejuvenated palms, and suddenly a pocket watch was stuffed between his fingers.
Retsuyō's voice came faintly into his ears. "When you hear the seventh pendulum, attack the darkest gear."
Akainu was slightly stunned and looked at Uchiha Retsuyō in confusion.
Uchiha Retsuyō turned her back to him and smiled lightly.
"Since he has swallowed up your life, then destroy his life yourself! This is the real cause and effect of time."
Hearing Uchiha Retsuyō's explanation, a flash of fluctuation flashed in Akainu's eyes.
The most precious things in his life are probably only the best memories, and before this guy actually wanted to eat his most precious things.
Akainu took a deep breath. When the seventh bell rang, the giant fist transformed into lava smashed the central gear without hesitation. In an instant, the entire time cage collapsed.
Regulus's frightened and desperate eyes, the last picture reflected was the first cicada he crushed when he was a seedling.
That was the first time he revealed the true nature of his cruel character.
However, the memory that should have been swallowed up by him long ago was now turning into a grain of golden sand and pouring into his eyes.
"No... it shouldn't be like this..." The sarcoma faded into a pale embryo in the torrent of time, and the sounds of hundreds of big and fierce mouths also faded into the cry of a baby.
"I... obviously... are eternal... why did I die here!"
"Crack!"
With Regulus's unwillingness, the baby embryo immediately shattered.
Uchiha Retsuyō silently retracted the blade, and the countless gears of time turned into countless fragments of time filled with colorful streams of light, floating in the sky.
He bent down and picked up a fragment that fell on the ground. The complete life of Regulus was clearly printed on the fragment.
Uchiha Retsuyō With a slight exertion, the fragments turned into crystal powder, and then scattered in his hand.
At this time, all the soldiers on the battlefield were watching this scene blankly, including the first soldier who died, with their eyes full of surprise.
Because if their memories were correct, they seemed to have died just now, but looking at their intact bodies and their smooth breathing, everything seemed to be just a dream.
"Team!"
Suddenly a soldier stood up quickly and gave a solemn military salute to Uchiha Retsuyō.
The other soldiers also responded and saluted Uchiha Retsuyō.
Akainu held the pocket watch Retsuyō had just given to him in his hand, with a trace of indescribable complexity flashing in his eyes.
Is this the person Empire is closest to the emperor!
The ability to control time is really unmatched. Thinking about the monster just now, Akainu feels powerless.
The ability to devour other people's time is simply incomprehensible to people like him.
But such a monster died easily in the hands of the army. Perhaps only the great emperor can check and balance such power!
Thinking of this, Akainu saluted Uchiha Retsuyō seriously.
"Thank you to the team for saving your life just now!"
Uchiha Retsuyō nodded slightly.
"For the Empire soldiers who have done their duty faithfully, my emperor does not want to see you die!"
After saying that, he didn't say anything more and disappeared from here in a flash.
All the soldiers looked at the disappearing Uchiha Retsuyō with a touch of emotion in their eyes, especially those who had died once.
For them, His Majesty the Emperor is their belief, and their belief has not abandoned them!
