Chapter 748: To the future (1/2)
To his shock, Will found himself feeling his movement to become sluggish and slower the moment that sensation swept his body
it was like something is tying itself onto his feet, his hands and his neck. Time Threads appears all over his body, tying him down.
He could move even in Time Field but now his speed is decreasing. The threads are draining his speed away.
Will takes a step backward to try to lessen the effect but then he halted his step. His eyes narrowed.
He found out what Jean is trying to do to him. Because if he changes his course of speed right now, a minimal loss of speed would happen.
It might be minimal but it is crucial for the plan.
If he retreated, he and Azief need to once again gather speed.
And Jean would interfere again and again until he could not gather more speed.
The thing about Jean is not the fact that they are the same realm in Disk Formation that enable him to suppress Will to such state, it but his mastery of his Path.
Jean ability in controlling time is peerless. Even Azief is here he would not dare say that his mastery of Time is even more proficient than Jean.
This sudden interference by Jean is unexpected and unplanned. Even if Loki is here, he would not have predicted such change in the storyline.
Loki had always been paying attention of how much the people around Death Monarch had changed.
Loki noted the change in Sofia the Divine Archer, the change in Katarina the Ice Queen and those around Azief.
But he did not pay too much attention to Jean.
The reason is not because Jean is not important. The reason is because Jean had rarely interacted with Death Monarch in the beginning.
In the original timeline, Jean did not really come into play until the Contention for the Divine Throne.
It was only after that event, that Jean interacts more with Death Monarch.
And like in Loki timeline, Jean as expected did not meddle much with the matter of Death Monarch and they rarely meet each other or even talk to each other.
So his appearance right now, trying to obstruct Azief and Will plan is something no one ever expected.
The reason is simply because in this world there is Death Monarch that things changed so much. Azief never had the title Death Monarch in that other timeline.
His title was Prince of Darkness and he was regarded as such even after he became a Sovereign. But in this timeline, he had become the strongest person in the world earlier than Loki had expected.
As such, certain things have changed. And one of those changes is the mastery of Time Laws by Jean.
Jean only need to take a step forward to reach Divine Comprehension.
Unlike Azief path of perfection that requires thirteen Laws, Jean had always cultivated only one law.
There is power in concentrating of one path.
It is because of that Jean had been able to sense the change of the world Time Stream and come out from his Room of Clocks to try to stop this plan of Death Monarch and Will.
'It is over' Jean said but the moment he said that he felt his Time Field is being encroached by something else
Smiling Will said
'Yes. You were right. It is over' Will look toward the other side. He could see Azief is coming toward him
There is a reason why Will push Jean until the Time Field become larger. The Time Field is weakened
After they passed Jean in the ocean a moment ago, Azief and Will split up to gather more speed and not assimilating their speed just yet
Their speed at that time is unbalanced.
Will have too much speed. Azief speed is a little inferior.
When Jean suddenly appeared on the ocean, they look at each other and like they could read each other mind a plan formed in their minds.
They knew that Jean probably come out from his area to stop them. And there lies an opportunity.
Will wanted his speed slow down. But he could not just take a break which would stop his momentum. The other way was to discharge the speed at certain point of Time in the past.
But when Jean came there is an opportunity for him to try another way. Like they planned, Jean appears again, this time on the mountain and uses his Time Field to rewind back time
Will had to act like he was conflicted in leaving when he needs to lose a bit of his speed.
But his shock when Time binds him is was a real shock.
He notices that if Jean kept going with that Time manipulation, his speed would really decrease a lot and that would make his plan and Azief plan crumble.
Thankfully, Azief had been ready and is now coming for him
Jean look at Wil conflicted. He could sense that he was schemed upon.
But he is not sad. He is just conflicted
Right now, Jean could already see that Azief is coming near to him. To others all they could see is two lightning bolts and a purplish glow.
They could not see the solid form of these three people. In the time field it appears they have been fighting for a long time.
After all they did traded thousands of blows.
But in the real Time Flow, only a few second had passed.
Two second passed when they were at the ocean and Jean appears on top of the mountain. And another second where he talks with Wil and traded blows with him
Jean saw that Azief is coming toward him and he sighed. There is like a different time Flow around Azief.
So, even though Azief is fast, in Will eyes it appears to be slow
