The Little Golden Man

If Kronos didn't consider the issue of exposure, this crisis would be easily resolved. Whether it's Time Reversal or time reset, the problem could be solved at its root.

But Adam is currently focused on this area, and Kronos doesn't want to reveal his trump card so easily.

Even if there's a high chance Adam won't attack me, I can't avoid being constantly watched by Adam.

Moreover, the favors owed now will have to be repaid someday.

So, while suppressing the madness within him, Kronos racked his brains for a solution.

But madness is not something that can be easily resolved.

Baoli's tactic was originally designed to deal with Angel, so this kind of madness is very difficult to remove. If he encounters Angel whose state is not so stable, he can even make the Loss of Control.

Therefore, when Kronos contracted this madness, some unstable factors hidden within his own mind also surfaced.

After becoming Demigod, Kronos never seemed to have any mental problems.

This is actually quite abnormal, because the authority in this world has always started from the spirit and slowly radiates outward.

Therefore, the impact of power will be imprinted on the spirit of the Beyonder to the greatest extent.

Kronos himself had few followers, so he basically had no anchor. The fact that he was able to maintain a stable mind was all thanks to the Nine Secrets.

Kronos himself knew this, so even now, he has never stopped his daily Nine Secrets Meditation.

The Nine Secrets largely helped Kronos Purification his mind and enhance his willpower, so mental problems did not have much of an impact on him.

However, even though the Nine Secrets are so effective, there are still some deep-rooted problems that have not been completely resolved; they have only been temporarily suppressed.

This Mental Plague seemed to be an opportunity for them, so they broke out with a frenzied invasion, and the two combined gradually became uncontrollable.

In fact, the moment Kronos Consciousness something was wrong, he had already formed the One-Pronged Hand Seal with his hands and chanted the "Lin" mantra, trying to maintain his mental and physical stability.

But this time, the Nine Secrets didn't seem to be as effective.

Kronos is currently in a state similar to a city. External enemies have breached the Gate, and internal traitors are creating chaos within the city, making it indeed difficult to maintain stability.

Therefore, even if the "Lin" technique was used, it only delayed the complete collapse of the city and did not have the effect of Restoration it.

If Kronos is currently in a stable state, he can gradually clear away his negative influences and is not yet completely Loss of Control.

But at this moment, there's absolutely no sense of peace or stability whatsoever.

After seeing that Kronos was affected, a smug smile appeared on Baoli's lips.

But this was a shrewd and experienced fellow, and even in this situation, he did not activate the Bloodlight Shield around his body.

Instead, a large, blood-red hand emerged from the Bloodlight Shield and reached out towards Kronos.

Bloodlight Protection has two abilities: one is Bloodlight Shield that provides all-around defense, and the other is Blood Theft.

This second ability allows the user to absorb the opponent's blood, enhancing the power of Bloodlight Protection.

It sounds impressive, but it's actually quite impractical.

Because this crimson hand is very slow, even Sequence 5 being, who is not good at speed, could probably dodge it, let alone Demigod.

Therefore, using this ability in actual combat requires a high degree of skill in timing.

At this moment, Kronos was focused on suppressing the madness within him and was naturally powerless to deal with the external crisis, which became the best opportunity for Baoli.

Baoli manipulated the blood-red light to grab at Kronos. Kronos must have seen it, but he was powerless to stop it.

It wasn't that he couldn't move at all, but rather that Kronos knew perfectly well that at his current speed, there was no way he could dodge, so he simply stopped moving.

A crimson hand grabbed Kronos, and Baoli's smug expression deepened. The next moment, he activated his Blood Theft ability, preparing to drain Kronos dry.

However, to his surprise, after activating the ability, there was no reaction at all, and he didn't absorb a single trace of blood energy.

This was also the first time Baoli had used this ability, so Consciousness wondered if there was something wrong with how he used it.

However, if he observed Kronos closely, he would notice a glint of silvery light flashing across Kronos's body.

As mentioned before, Kronos is not completely immobile; he is simply unable to unleash most of his power due to the intense restraint.

His solution didn't require any major movements; a slight shift would suffice.

He secretly activated an Beyonder Item on his person, called the Twilight Silver Coin.

This is Grade 1 Sealed Artifact that was given to the Saint Hilleran Cathedral after the Cathedral of Machinery rewarded the Rules Peeper to Kronos.

Under Kronos's careful control, he successfully completed the silvering of Avatar, which was the Avatar that was grabbed by the crimson hand.

Kronos acted so subtly mainly to buy time.

If Baoli clearly sees that Kronos has turned completely silver, then he can simply look for the flaws in the silver transformation.

But now, Kronos has been captured without any resistance, yet he's completely powerless. Baoli should now search extensively for the reasons behind this.

Although it won't last long, every little bit helps, since suppressing madness takes time.

After Baoli checked the status of the Bloodlight Protection and finally determined that it wasn't his problem, he turned his attention to Kronos.

After all, he was Saint who Spectator Pathway, and with careful observation, he eventually discovered the truth.

Once you know where the problem lies, solving it becomes much easier.

Baoli produced a metal gauntlet, put it on, and declared, "Silver is forbidden here!"

The Hand of Judgment, the most important Beyonder Item on Baoli's person, corresponds to Sequence 3 of the Justiciar Pathway – "Chaos Hunter".

Because Kronos himself is Sequence 3, and the Twilight Silver Coin he uses also Sequence to Sequence 3, the Decree did not take effect immediately.

Then, Baoli issued three more Decree in succession, finally completely removing the silvery substance from Kronos's body.

The moment the silvery substance disappeared, Baoli sensed it, because he could feel the presence of blood energy under the Bloodlight Protection.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Baoli immediately activated his Blood Theft ability.

Not only that, he also raised his Hand of Judgment and waved it sharply at Kronos, releasing a Power of Execution towards Kronos.

Not to mention that Kronos was in really bad shape at the moment, even if he were at his peak, taking those two hits would have seriously injured him, so a critical moment had arrived.

In the Spirit World, Amanises's hands clenched slightly; he was still somewhat nervous.

Having already invested so much, He naturally doesn't want the "company" he invested in to go bankrupt.

But He could sense that just as He was becoming slightly nervous, Adam beside Him turned his attention to Him.

Visionary is indeed a troublesome Pathway.

Amanises was confident that his strength surpassed Adam's, and that even if Adam and Will joined forces, they would not be his match.

However, stopping Him for a short time is indeed not difficult.

Therefore, if danger arises, Kronos has no choice but to save himself.

In fact, Kronos had a solution in mind, but it might have a significant impact, so he never tested it.

If Baoli had given him more time, he would never have used this method at this point.

However, Blood Theft was already frantically draining his blood, and the Power of Execution was imminent, leaving Kronos no longer able to remain calm.

So Kronos had no choice but to take a gamble.

Suddenly, a ball of light rose above his head, emitting an extremely dazzling radiance.

The moment the orb of light rose, Kronos unleashed a power he hadn't used in a long time. "Light."

This ability was obtained by Kronos when he ascended to Demigod. Perhaps its greatest benefit to Kronos was that it allowed the Sun Card to exert even greater power.

At this moment, the main reason why Kronos used this ability was to better absorb the power of the orb of light.

This ball of light is, of course, the Never-Extinguishing Sun in his hand.

The best way to deal with many negative states is through Purification via the Sun Pathway.

However, the Purification power cannot be too strong, otherwise it will not only Purification the negative states, but it can Purification everything about you.

But Kronos had no choice at this point; otherwise, he would die.

So he decided to take a gamble, intending to use the Purification power of the Never-Extinguishing Sun to completely Purification his madness.

As for using the ability of light, it's mainly to reduce harm to one's own body.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the blood-red hand vanished instantly.

The Never-Extinguishing Sun has little power to counter the Bloodlight Shield, but it is a natural counter to Blood Theft.

After the giant hand disappeared, Kronos's movements returned to normal, so he jumped up and opened his arms to embrace the Sun.

Kronos had anticipated the danger of this risky move, so Kronos didn't utter a sound when that scorching power flowed into his body.

As the power of Purification enveloped his mind, all the negative states within it contracted into a single mass, and Kronos's will instantly took over.

At this moment, Kronos did not press his advantage to dispel all the negative status effects in one fell swoop, because the power of execution was already within reach.

Therefore, Kronos unhesitatingly released his Decomposition Power, preparing to completely disintegrate this Power of Execution.

Although he "inherited" Randolph's memories, he still couldn't control the Decomposition Power as skillfully as Randolph.

Therefore, after one round of decomposition, the Power of Execution ultimately did not completely dissipate.

Kronos had no choice but to tough it out in this situation.

Fortunately, the Power of Execution was reduced to only two or three tenths of its original strength, so the damage it caused to Kronos was very limited.

After enduring this attack, Kronos finally had the opportunity to dispel all the negative effects.

At first, Kronos merely used the Never-Extinguishing Sun to corner madness, without causing any real damage.

Only then did Kronos truly begin to receive the full Purification power from the Sun.

This Sun may only have some auxiliary capabilities, but its energy is considerable.

With a surge of Sun Pathway energy coursing through his body, many of Kronos's physical characteristics began to change.

First, his eyes gradually turned golden, from a pale gold at first, until they became completely "Golden Eyes".

Not only his eyes, but the hair on his body also began to turn golden, eventually turning him completely into a "yellow-haired" man.

Both the eyes and the hair are normally golden.

But it's a bit strange that her skin is also turning golden.

Kronos was originally a pure white person. If he had only become a little more yellow, Kronos wouldn't have cared so much, since he was originally a yellow person.

However, the yellow skin was clearly not the end of this transformation. The gold on Kronos's skin became increasingly intense, gradually turning him into a "little golden man."

After Kronos used his Purification power to completely expel the madness and some hidden dangers from his mind, he was startled by his own appearance.

But actually, the most serious issue isn't his appearance.

Kronos could clearly feel his entire body being filled with power.

If it were the power of the Hermit's Pathway or the Paragon Pathway, Kronos would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Unfortunately, this is the power of the Sun Pathway.

Kronos was completely helpless against the power of other Pathway, because he simply couldn't digest or absorb it.

If Kronos hadn't been maintaining the power of light, this Sun Pathway might have already gone berserk, and Kronos's friends and family could have started their feast.

Only then did Baoli barely adjust to the intense light emitted by the Never-Extinguishing Sun, and he could barely make out Kronos's figure.

This Sun's Purification power is indeed very strong, but its blinding effect is also quite remarkable.

If caught completely off guard, it might be possible to make an Angel unable to open their eyes for a few seconds.

However, unlike a flashbang, it continuously emits a bright light, so while blinding the opponent, it will also blind the user, making it indiscriminate in its effect on friend or foe. Therefore, it is not so easy to use this ability to ambush the enemy.

After Baoli finally got used to it, he saw a small golden figure with a bleeding wound on its chest, radiating golden light.
