"The End of Time!"
Lynn's pupils trembled violently.
The scene he had witnessed on that Isolated Island flashed before his eyes-the Nightmare that blotted out the sky, cut off in the future. That was the Apocalypse that his other self had held back at the End of Time.
How... how could this be?!
If the other side of the rifts led to the End of Time, what did these stone pillars represent?
At that moment.
He finally understood why Time Stop had happened.
It was not because of anything else.
The power that froze the End of Time had seeped into this place through those time rifts!
Crack, crack, crack, crack-
An eerie, shrill sound rang through the scene frozen by Time Stop, like sharp claws scraping against your bones, sending chills down your spine.
On that stone pillar covered in time rifts, amid its faintly engraved reliefs and patterns, a sharp claw like bare bone seemed to emerge, piercing the black sludge on the pillar's surface and scraping against the stone, as though trying to break free.
The power of Time Stop enveloping their surroundings seemed to loosen at the same moment.
Hum-
Hum-
With every pulse, the power of Time Stop loosened a little more.
It was as though something was breaking its restraints bit by bit, projecting itself from that place at time's end into their river of time.
"Go!"
"Run!"
The Silver Sun within Lynn and Truth beside him issued their warnings almost simultaneously.
That overwhelming sense of danger kept intensifying as Time Stop loosened.
Though Lynn wanted to keep investigating, the tremendous sense of danger forced him to turn immediately. The figure did not hesitate either, charging back into the corridor at top speed and racing in the opposite direction.
Almost at the very moment
