Chapter 833: The needle that stop time (1/2)
BOOM!
Loki crack the space around him the moment he clenched his fist and throws that strike. He put half of his power in that attack.
The space around his fist contorted and break as the power of stars seems to be imbued in that attack
All around him space seems to rip apart.
Space dust all around Loki body disintegrated almost immediately. There is a smile on his face.Jean on the other hand was frowning.
He did not understand as the flow of Time around him seems to move backward at the same moment that Loki started to attack
Jean was in Divine Comprehension level so this kind of attack would not be able to hurt him. And Loki must have understood that his attack would not do any considerable damage
But then why?
Why would he still attack Jean knowing the outcome of it? Jean still has the time to think of all of this even as Loki is trying to punch him
Because if there is one thing that Jean had the most of, it is Time
Loki smiles as the power of time rewinds back to the moment before Loki release that attack. Loki could not extricate himself form the Time Rewind ability but he was smiling nonetheless.
They both stand back in their original position. Before Jean could ask him why, Loki waves his hand
'Take this!'
He snorted and then with the movement of his hand, the psionic forces that was scattered all over the over the Milky Way galaxy quickly reformed back into a net
It only took less than a second for the energy to reformed back into a net
Jean widened his eyes and immediately his eyes shines with purple color and a sound seems to pierce the vacuum state of space. It is the sound of a clock ticking.
And a pointer appeared inside Jean eyes.
Jean look toward Loki and he wanted to lock down Time and Space around Loki but as he uses his gaze to lock the space, Jean was surprised.
'What the hell?' he thought to himself.
The Time and Space around Loki seems to be contorted and in chaos, unable to form a complete Law that Jean could take advantage of.
Loki seems to already foreseen this.
Whatever that artifact that Loki is using, it seems that it is able to change the properties of Time and Space.
Jean did not know for sure whether the Time and Space around Loki becoming like this is because of Loki artifact or because of another reason, but Jean did not have any other possible explanation than blaming it on the artifact
If Loki could hear what Jean was thinking he would probably laugh.
After all, the reason why Jean could not do anything to him is simply because Jean of the future had put an imprint of Himself on Loki.
It enables him to escape most Time related abilities.
Of course, just like the power that is given to him by Hirate, the Illustration of Mind, this power that Jean in the future had given him has its limit.
This is the first time he had used that effect of that imprint.
Jean in the current timeline, actually have enough power to capture Loki.
But it is because Loki had the imprint from Jean of the future that he was confident that he could escape safely from Jean.
'Ah, like I said, it would not be that easy to capture me' and then Loki without hesitation pointed his index finger toward jean.
The net once again shrinks and this time it turns into a thin needle that floats in front of Loki index finger.
It was so small that it is the size of an atomic particle but Jean could still see it.
The moment Loki pointed his finger toward Jean, the needle flew though matter as it phases through them and then pierced Jean body in the timespan of one second
Even though there is a shield of time around Jean body it was useless as that needle phase through it.
Jean was rendered immobile but he could see that needle is slowly losing its power the moment it enters his body
It is corroded by the properties of time
In just a few minutes, he would be able to move again. But by then Loki would long be gone.
Loki smiles at the currently immobilized Jean and said
'Now, everyone would believe'
Jean understood what Loki is implying
