Between him and the "Angel," there seemed to be only one final barrier left-that boundless black tsunami!
Yet before a being of the "Angel's" standing, the thickness of that "tsunami" seemed laughably thin!
Lin Yi's soul trembled ceaselessly. He had once briefly imagined what it would look like when a "mortal" faced an "Angel," but only when he faced one himself did he realize that he had no reaction at all.
He felt only the most primal trembling, while his mind went blank. He did not even know what fear was.
Or perhaps-even the emotion of fear, from its birth to its spread throughout his consciousness, could not reach his cognition before this blankness did.
Overwriting.
His instincts had overwritten every emotion he produced at this moment.
Or... delayed them?!
He suddenly realized something and abruptly looked at his wrist.
The watch on his wrist showed that the time was-
2:52.
But its hand swung back and forth between the seventh and eighth seconds.
Unlike before, when it had struggled to move from one second to the next, this time, it was swinging backward!!
The hand on his watch seemed to have reached the eighth second countless times, only to be turned back by some invisible force, leaving it at a moment infinitely close to "May 10, Year X023, 2:52:08"!!
Time... was constantly reversing?!
No, it wasn't reversing. It was... stretching!!
Achilles' paradox?!
Countless times, the hand was about to reach 2:52:08, but whenever it was nearly there, the remaining time stretched a little farther!
In other words, he was now inside a layer where time was being infinitely extended!
I... was "dreambuilding"?!
Just like in Inception, he was falling into deeper and deeper dreams, causing his perception of time outside to grow slower and slower!
Dreambuilding!
Lost!
