While everyone else relied on the " Troop Training " strategy to continuously improve amidst blood and fire, Allen Yeager, as one of the most crucial figures in the fight against the invasion of the Rift Realm, experienced a more profound and hidden growth trajectory. His core power— the Mythical Zoan Torch Dragon Fruit ability—was undergoing a fundamental transformation in this war that was closely related to the survival of the world.
• The refinement and pervasive influence of the power of spacetime:
Initially, Allen's use of the Power of Zhulong was mostly about large-scale " Severed Realm " and " Time Acceleration /deceleration." Now, in the process of continuously maintaining the stability of the defensive line's spacetime and countless subtle interventions to save his comrades, his control over spacetime has reached a level of subtlety. He can perform "spacetime surgery" like the most delicate surgeon—for example, separating, delaying, or even shifting the small segment of spacetime around a comrade whose energy is about to explode; or creating extremely subtle yet deadly "spacetime folds" in the path of a monster's attack, causing its attack to inexplicably deflect at the last moment. He no longer merely distorts spacetime, but has begun to try to understand and modify the physical constants of local areas to a limited extent. Although the scope is extremely small and the consumption is enormous, this is already a power that touches the level of the rules.
• The fusion and balance of the forces of light and darkness:
The power of the Torch Dragon— "opening its eyes brings day, closing them brings night"—represents the two extremes of light and darkness. Initially, Allen could only utilize the omniscience and insight of the "light" side and the concealment and termination of the "dark" side separately. Now, under the harmonization of the Power of Fortune, he has begun to attempt to fuse these two seemingly opposing forces. He can unleash " Dark-Light Cutting "—causing the target area to flash frequently between extreme brightness and darkness, instantly blinding and interfering with all energy perception; or " Light-Dark Countercurrent "—creating a chaotic energy field that renders attacks relying on ordered energy (such as the energy breath of demons) ineffective, even turning them against their master. This fusion of light and darkness has an unexpectedly effective restraining effect on the chaotic yet orderly predatory energy system of the Rift Demons.
• The nourishment of the fundamental nature of time and space by the influence of destiny:
Most of the Power of Fortune that Allen acquired was not used to directly enhance any particular ability, but rather, like sweet dew, nourished the "origin of spacetime" he was connected to. He felt his connection with the spacetime river of this world become closer, his manipulation of spacetime power became smoother, and the consumption of energy decreased. More importantly, destiny seemed to be helping him repair the subtle damage to the world's spacetime structure caused by Imu and the Rift invasion. This repair process, in turn, deepened his understanding of the rules of spacetime. He could even vaguely sense that deep within the river of destiny lay a possibility of this world's "time restart" or "branch of fate," though vague and unattainable, it provided him with the ultimate strategic vision.
• The gifts of Operation Deep Dive:
Although the " Deep Dive " team paid a heavy price, the spacetime data they brought back regarding the core of the nest and the edge of the rift was invaluable to Allen. By analyzing this data, he gained a clearer understanding of the erosion pattern of the rift energy on local spacetime and the rift's stabilization mechanism. This allowed him to more accurately predict the rift's expansion nodes and begin to conceive the prototype of a targeted " Spacetime Sealing Technique."
• Shift in positioning: From guardian to strategic core:
Allen is no longer just a " Guardian of Spacetime." He has gradually become the strategic core of the entire defense line. His time-space abilities can be used for both micro-tactical support (rescuing key figures and turning the tide of local battles) and macro-strategic planning (stabilizing the defense line and disrupting rifts). His power of light and darkness is a powerful tool for dealing with high-end monsters and breaking through the nest's defenses. And his deep understanding of the origin of time and space is the key to whether the rift can be closed in the end.
While others honed their skills in the River of Destiny, Allen seemed to be weaving an invisible spacetime net that covered the entire battlefield, attempting to transform the forces of light and darkness into the warp and weft of the net. His ascension, quiet yet grand, directly concerned the final outcome of the war. The power he accumulated was the authority to control spacetime and balance light and darkness, one of the ultimate Key to determining the victory or defeat of this dimensional war. The curtain rises on the final battle, and this master of spacetime is about to reveal his true power.
