Chapter 1356: Chapter 536: You Don’t Pass!
The essence of a Dark Sun Level Time Hound, the hunting skills she possesses, her understanding of the Power of Time... These are invaluable treasures.
Ron reached towards his chest and pulled out a silver pocket watch.
Nari sensed the abnormality of the other party, her six arms writhing uneasily under the cloak:
"Darling, you seem a bit... off. This idea is dangerous, what if that hound’s consciousness contaminates you..."
"Mother, I know the risks."
Ron glanced back at her:
"But some opportunities, if missed, will never come again.
Besides, I am confident enough to control the process."
Aselia pondered for a moment in his arms, then slowly nodded:
"Indeed, a Time Hound of this level is extremely rare. If her abilities can be acquired safely..."
She paused:
"However, devouring the consciousness of a Dark Sun Level being, even a residual soul, is never a simple matter. Are you sure you can handle this burden?"
"There’s only one way to find out."
Ron raised the silver pocket watch, letting it shimmer in the white light of the Consciousness Space:
"Moreover, this is exactly the moment the pocket watch has been waiting for."
He caressed the surface of the pocket watch:
"Sorry, Leila. Your knowledge and existence are very useful to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lid of the pocket watch snapped open with a "click."
A deep, rotating silver whirlpool gradually spread out, with chains shooting out from within.
The speed of the chains was beyond logic, as if they had reached their target the moment they were launched.
This phenomenon defying common sense reflects the essence of Time Manipulation.
In the realm of time, "process" and "result" often occur simultaneously.
When the chains touched the core surface, a piercing resonance sounded throughout the Consciousness Space.
Like two different frequencies of time waves fiercely colliding.
Leila’s consciousness immediately felt the threat of Death.
"No! Don’t!"
Her voice emanated from the core, filled with despair and fear:
"You can’t do this! I am willing to surrender! I am willing to be your servant! Just don’t devour my existence!"
But Ron’s expression remained unwavering.
At such critical moments, any kindness is cruelty to oneself.
Leila, as a Time Hound, is essentially a predator surviving by devouring other existences.
Now it’s her turn to become the prey, a natural reflection of causal cycles.
"Too late."
He said lightly: "Since you chose to hunt me, you should be prepared for the resolve to be counter-killed."
The silver chains began to tighten, and with each tightening, the Mirage Core screamed more and more piercingly.
Leila let out one last desperate scream:
"No! I have secrets! I know the weaknesses of other hounds! I know Carlos and Fenrir’s plans! I can..."
But she couldn’t finish her sentence.
The silver chains had already completely bound the Mirage Core, and then dragged it inexorably into the whirlpool of the pocket watch.
As the last trace was absorbed by the whirlpool, the pocket watch’s lid slammed shut with a "bang," emitting a dull, chewing-like sound.
Ron felt the pocket watch in his hand become scorching hot, like metal just removed from a furnace.
He looked at the pocket watch and found that under the crystal of the dial, there was a constantly struggling and changing bewildering light shadow, like a storm trapped in amber.
That was Leila’s residual soul, which had lost its independent consciousness but still retained some instinctive activity.
"Darling, how are you feeling?"
Nari looked at him worriedly, gently stroking his cheek with her tentacle:
"Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I... I’m fine."
Ron blinked and tried to focus:
"I just need some time to adapt."
At this moment, a transparent panel began to appear before his eyes:
[Warning: Currently hunting a target approaching the current hunting limit ’Time Hound - Leila (Residual Soul)’]
[Current digestion progress: 1%... Estimated completion time: Extremely Long]
[Once digestion is complete, you will have the opportunity to acquire and analyze some of the target’s core traits]
At this moment, the pure white space cracked like an eggshell, peeling off layer by layer.
Through the cracks, the scene of the Mirror Maze could be seen outside.
Those singing mirrors were trembling madly, emitting piercing broken sounds.
"The maze has lost its controller." Aselia immediately became restless:
"Leila’s disappearance has caused the entire Mind Space to start collapsing, we must leave here immediately!"
The entire Mirror Palace, a fragile illusion like glass, began its irreversible collapse after losing its master.
Countless mirror shards fell like a rainstorm, each fragment reflecting Leila’s painful and unwilling distorted face.
Those faces layered in the broken reflections, the air echoing with sharp glass shattering sounds, like a thousand souls wailing simultaneously.
Ron tightly embraced Aselia, and together with Nari, rushed towards the exit.
The mirrored floor beneath their feet began to fracture, revealing the bottomless void below.
"Quick!" Nari used her six arms to protect the two, the cloak flapping in the rush, "This space is about to completely collapse!"
When the three stepped out of the shattered arch, the Mirror Palace completely collapsed into a flickering point of light, then vanished like a bubble.
The entire process was eerily silent, as if everything just now was only a splendid dream.
Outside, it was still that Crystal Forest, but the malicious whispers pervading the air had already disappeared without a trace.
