Time Storm

Chromie appears to be an adorable little girl, but like most other humanoid creatures in the Caverns of Time, she is actually a bronze dragon— Chromie's real name is Chronormu, and she is the youngest member of the Council of Time.

Dragon Clan' transformations in appearance often reflect their inner thoughts. Chromie is lively and cute, and her style of doing things is also very carefree. She is always running around, maintaining various timelines, and is extremely busy.

Chromie enjoyed traveling to different historical periods to witness great historical events firsthand. Having seen so much, he naturally learned to avoid what he knew, so he was quite shrewd.

Seeing that the two old men looked flustered, Chromie immediately took over the decision-making power.

"You two guard this place. Make sure the Caverns of Time is safe. Hold out for as long as you can. Also, send messages to the other council members for help, and to the Wyrmrest Temple for assistance. I'm taking some men to the monitoring room to see what's going on."

The two council members nodded to each other, and Chromie led a dozen or so adult bronze dragons toward the Time-Space Nexus.

Upon arriving at the entrance, they found it completely filled with stone elementals, and a group of bronze Dragonspawn guards were locked in fierce combat with them. Even the slow-witted Chromie could tell that something was wrong.

"You lot, quickly find a way to break in! You few go and wake Lord Maijiaer; we need his help!"

At Chromie's command, several Bronze Dragon Clan rushed toward Maijiaer's statue, while the rest joined the siege of the stone elementals.

With the addition of these Bronze Dragon Clan, the stone elementals were immediately overwhelmed, and two of them were quickly killed. However, each of these stone elementals had hundreds of thousands of health points, so it wouldn't be easy to kill them all.

Moreover, those dead stone elementals, having lost the support of elemental power, immediately turned into a pile of scattered boulders, which were quite a nuisance.

Chromie was increasingly anxious as she looked at the situation. It would probably take at least ten minutes to kill these stone elementals, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't be able to get over there. Clearing the boulder would take several more minutes, and then there would be no time for anything else. It seemed that she had to take a risky approach. Chromie thought to herself that she had seen too many tragedies caused by indecisiveness, and she absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen to her.

"Listen, the Caverns of Time are at their most critical juncture. There's no time to hesitate; we must move in!"

Chromie spoke loudly to the several bronze dragons around him.

"What? Are you crazy? You can't traverse the Caverns of Time!" a Bronze Dragon Clan exclaimed.

The reason for this rule is that time travel can cause violent energy fluctuations. While it might not be a problem outside, it is extremely dangerous in the Caverns of Time, which is filled with time energy, especially in the main control room that stores the energy of the Time Barrier. One careless move could trigger Time Storm.

There are no more "buts" now. I'm the councilor, so I make the decisions. Everyone, follow me on this relocation. I'll be the first one here. After the relocation, I'll leave you with spacetime markers. Just head towards my coordinates.

After saying that, Chromie raised her staff, tapped it hard on her feet, and with a whoosh, disappeared from the spot.

"Hey, looks like this mission is pretty easy."

Standing in front of the monitoring crystal, watching the demon army surge into the Caverns of Time on the screen, and listening to the sounds of battle outside, Xiao Yu said listlessly.

The stone elementals seemed to have completely accomplished their task, keeping the enemy out.

Kairoz nodded. "Indeed, but I'm worried they might just migrate in directly. Of course, that's unlikely; generally speaking, migration isn't allowed in the Caverns of Time. I'm just afraid—"

Just as I feared, Kairoz hadn't even finished speaking when the air in front of him suddenly distorted, and with a snap, a little girl appeared out of thin air. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then simultaneously raised the staffs in their hands.

Both were councilors of the Bronze Dragon, and naturally used time magic; the two golden energy waves collided instantly.

For a time, the situation reached a stalemate.

Chromie: "Kairoz, it was you? Why did you do this? You actually helped a foreign race attack our sacred land! Do you know what you're doing?"

Kairoz: "Hahahaha, you short-sighted fools simply cannot comprehend the grandeur of my plan. Guarding such immense power yet failing to utilize it, I will not stoop to the same level of decadence as you pedantic individuals."

Chromie: "What exactly do you want to do!?"

Kairoz: "What for? Hmph, we will seize the Hourglass of Time and use it to accomplish great things. When that time comes, you will understand how prescient my actions have been. Join me now, and perhaps I will share some of your glory."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Really? You just blurted out our plan like that? Don't you even understand the saying that villains die from talking too much?"

He didn't bother waiting for Chromie's reply, because he knew that such attempts at persuasion usually yielded no results, and directly unleashed Hammer of Chaos.

However, this attack missed its target, because at the same moment he made his move, the air twisted again, and another Bronze Dragon Clan in human form migrated in, only to become the scapegoat.

He was blasted away with a loud bang.

Chromie was taken aback. He hadn't even answered yet, so why was he attacked? This didn't make sense!

However, Chromie, as a member of the Council of Time and an ancient bronze dragon, was no ordinary person. He reacted immediately, instantly conjuring seven or eight phantoms, filling the room with Chromie in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the air twisted again, and with a series of crackling sounds, three or four bronze dragons were moved in.

They were stunned when they came in and saw Kairoz. They couldn't tell whether Kairoz was friend or foe, so they subconsciously focused their attention on Xiao Yu.

One by one, they raised their staffs and placed the Time Shackles on Xiao Yu.

The Time Shackles are somewhat similar to Time Stop, but they are single-target and belong to a very powerful control skill. Moreover, they are a unique skill of the Bronze Dragon, and their power is extraordinary. Although the Elemental King is powerful, Xiao Yu still clearly felt the pressure after being shackled with three or four Time Shackles at once.

As the Time Shackles were gradually tightened around Xiao Yu, even as the Elemental King, he found it difficult to move under these intense constraints.

Damn it, this is going to spoil the meal!

You really think I'm a pushover? Then let me show you the might of the Destroyer!

Although he was unable to move or even cast spells, the divine weapon in his hand was not subject to this restriction.

Elemental Storm!

Once the artifact's ultimate skill is activated, storms, icy earth, and fire—four elemental forces—blown wildly in all directions.

Under the attack of the Elemental Storm, the bronze dragons were forced to break the Time Shackles and began to protect themselves. However, the huge container that stored the energy reserves of the Time Barrier also developed cracks under the onslaught of the storm, and finally exploded with a snap.

The explosion was silent, like an image from a silent film. The white light instantly engulfed everything and swallowed everyone. Xiao Yu subconsciously covered his eyes. When he opened them again, he found himself surrounded by a white light, a vast and pure white world. The bronze dragons, Chromie, and Kairoz had all disappeared.

There was no ceiling, no walls; it was just a vast expanse of blank space that stretched out before us, looking quite eerie.

Where am I? Could this be Time Storm? But why does it look so strange?

He tried to summon the game interface, but there was no response. However, as the Destroyer, he wasn't afraid of such things. Besides, it was just a game. So what if he got lost in time? He wouldn't die, would he?

A sense of anticipation actually arose in my heart; I wondered what I would encounter in this Time Storm.

So, while thinking about it, he simply walked forward. After walking for a while, the scenery around him remained unchanged, still a white expanse. Suddenly, some different colors appeared in the distance ahead. Something that looked like an iron gate appeared alone in the white world. He hurriedly ran over. The iron gate appeared out of thin air, and there was nothing on either side. "Huh, what the hell is this?" Xiao Yu thought in surprise.

Looking out through the iron window above the iron gate, the other side of the gate seemed like another world, like a portal to another time and space. Outside the iron gate was the interior of a huge cave, with stalactites hanging high in the distance and some unusually tall buildings that looked vaguely familiar.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance. Xiao Yu was overjoyed, but then he was startled because the person looked exactly like him, with a body made of dark chaotic energy, and seemed to be on the move.
