Deep within the cracks of the real universe, in that chaotic land known as the " Abyss Corridor," a vast and chilling will is slowly awakening from its slumber. It is the core consciousness remaining of the " Abyss Will," which was once severely wounded by Allen. At this moment, it is "reading" the last fragments transmitted from the battlefield of Iron Shield Fortress —the terrifying images of time reversal and spatial reinforcement reported by the three elite demon generals before their deaths.
[... Target individual ' Torch Dragon '... Status updated...]
[... Power application... refined... Transcendence expected growth curve...]
[... Partial time rewind (energy tower)... confirmed execution... consumption assessment... high... but not unbearable...]
[... Spatial Severed Realm defense... Stability... Exceeds database model...]
[... Threat level reassessed... from 'High-Value Nursery Guardian' to...'Potential Law Competitor'...]
Cold thoughts converged in the Void, devoid of any emotion, consisting only of pure calculation and evaluation.
[... its temporal authority... has touched the edge of 'causality'...' Morning Flowers Gathered at Dusk '... forced life to pass... involves the fundamental laws of life...]
[It is recommended that... their time authority be stripped or contaminated first... otherwise... the cost of cleanup will increase indefinitely...]
Just then, another, more ancient and abstract idea, seemingly formed from the ticking of countless clocks, entered this communication like a shadow.
[... Pay attention to target ' Torch Dragon '... an anomaly in the timeline...]
[... its very existence... is creating ripples of a 'time paradox'...]
[... It was observed that... it uses ' Limited Future Interference '... to modify probabilities at the microscopic level... this behavior... is weaving unstable 'fibers of possibility'... disrupting the purity of the timeline...]
This newly emerged will calls itself the [ Temporal Overseer ]. It is not a being like the " Abyss Will," which feeds on devouring; rather, it is more like an ancient mechanism or remnant of a civilization that maintains some grand "time order." Its interest in Allen lies not in devouring, but in "correcting" him.
"[... Temporal Overseer... What is your goal?]" the Abyss Will inquired.
[... Eliminate abnormal disturbances... Restore timeline purity... The target individual... or their time abilities... must be 'archived' or 'static'...]
[... The basis for cooperation exists...] The Abyss Will responded, [... Our needs... to strip it of its spacetime authority, especially its temporal authority... to ensure the smooth Harvest of the 'nursery'... You may obtain its 'time paradox' core for research or destruction...]
[... The agreement is valid...] The Temporal Overseer's will is cold and absolute, [... will dispatch ' Stasis Unit ' to intervene... They are immune to conventional time interference... Specializing in ' Temporal Lock ' and ' Causality Stripping '... to cooperate with your 'Destruction Units'...]
[... can provide coordinates and cover...]
The brief exchange ended, and the two terrifying wills representing "destruction" and "order" (albeit a cold, absolute order) reached a temporary cooperation because of Allen, their shared "abnormal factor".
Deep within the Abyss Corridor, some inhuman-shaped " Stasis Unit," resembling solidified clock gears and pale light, began to activate. Their existence seemed solely for the purpose of combating those with time-manipulation abilities.
Meanwhile, at Iron Shield Fortress, Allen, who had just achieved a great victory, felt a slight, inexplicable unease. It wasn't from a direct sense of threat, but rather a more subtle premonition, as if some invisible "net" was quietly tightening around him. He looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds, seeing a gaze from a different dimension, yet equally filled with malice.
"Time... seems to have brought something even more troublesome..." he muttered to himself. The nascent " World Seed " in his palm was slightly warm, emitting a warning wave.
A new storm is brewing silently. The next attack will not be against the destruction of creations, but against the very force that is most powerful—the Time Hunter.
