Chapter 495 A Gathering of Heroes!
Caught off guard, the God of Time and Space was sent flying by the bizarre punch. His body flew backwards under the gaze of countless people and crashed heavily into a building.
This scene instantly drew gasps from everyone watching on their screens.
Although most of them didn't know who this figure in white was, the fact that he stepped in to help the magical girl at this time was enough to make people cheer for him.
The magical girls watching on screens were also deeply worried. A greedy person of unknown origin would actually choose to stand on the side of the magical girls at this time.
Is this a distortion of human nature, a decline in morality, or a new conspiracy by the greedy?
However, they could no longer know any of this. Everyone was glued to their screens, anxiously watching the location where the God of Time and Space had disappeared. Despite having punched the God of Time and Space away, Chang Lei's face behind his mask showed no joy, only extreme solemnity.
Although the God of Time and Space does not possess true divine power, nor does he have any extraordinary energy, the advanced technology of matter and antimatter within his body is extremely terrifying, forcing even Chang Lei to be on full alert.
"Xilan, be careful. I'll try to hold him off while you cover me. I'll protect you as much as I can, but I can't guarantee your safety."
"Don't worry." Xiao Xiao nodded earnestly. "From the moment Nuomi found me, I was already prepared for this day to come." "It's the Baron... never mind." Nuomi jumped onto Xiao Xiao's shoulder, her magic power continuously flowing into Xiao Xiao's body. "To be able to fight a 'god,' even dying would be worth it."
Looking at the fearless man and ferret, Chang Lei smiled, then his face darkened. "The bad news is, his core is hidden in time; I can't deceive him."
"And what's the good news?" Nuomi asked.
"The good news hasn't come yet." Chang Lei shrugged, then his gaze sharpened as he looked up at the sky.
In mid-air, the figure of the God of Time and Space stood, looking down at the two below with indifference and anger in his eyes.
"You can even deceive time? As expected of Mr. Fraudster Hawkes. But how far can your deception go next?" With that, the God of Time and Space suddenly leaned forward, his entire body instantly transforming into a streak of dark blue lightning. Amidst the gasps of countless viewers in front of their screens, he lunged towards Xiao Xiao's location.
Xiao Xiao was startled, but she quickly reacted and waved her Star Staff. A huge stream of water surged up from the ground, swirling around her and protecting her.
However, the barrier of the vortex couldn't even hold for a second, instantly torn apart by the lightning and scattering into countless raindrops all around. The God of Time and Space shattered the vortex barrier with a single punch, but Xiao Xiao in the water mysteriously vanished, as if she had never been there at all.
With a slight shift in his gaze, the God of Time and Space looked around and saw that the water on the ground was moving again.
The water on the road began to surge rapidly and flow outwards, forming an encircling force that transformed into curtains of water around the God of Time and Space.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Lei's figure gradually appeared in the reflection above the water curtain, one after another, seemingly endless, tightly surrounding him.
"I admit that the existence of the Reverse World is indeed interesting, but you're too naive to think you can threaten me with that."
The God of Time and Space sneered, raised his hands slightly, and then clapped them in the air.
In an instant, blinding light swept out, and as it swept across, everything around it began to be violently affected. The earth began to crack, the vegetation began to wither, and all the buildings that came into contact with the light began to weather at a visible speed, as if the wheels of time were crushing them.
The water curtain was the first to be affected. As the light of time shone on the reflection of the water curtain, the reverse passages instantly began to fluctuate violently.
The altered timeline of reality began to influence the reverse world in reverse. The two completely different timelines rubbed against each other, instantly annihilating one reverse passage after another, and Chang Lei's figure was exposed in mid-air.
The God of Time and Space smirked, his figure flashed past, and he suddenly pounced on Chang Lei's location.
Chang Lei's expression changed instantly as he realized what was happening, but faced with the God of Time and Space's bizarre abilities and terrifying attacks, he was unable to defend himself for a time and was in grave danger.
Each attack was a parry against the timeline. Chang Lei not only had to be careful not to be caught by the opponent's time power, but also had to avoid the opponent's energy attacks, which put him at a disadvantage.
The energy released by the God of Time and Space is a substance that current science cannot yet understand. Even a slight touch from it would be extremely painful for someone like Chang Lei.
In this extremely dangerous situation, Chang Lei dodged a punch by turning his body to the side, and then flipped his fingers, and a playing card suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
The moment the God of Time and Space saw this playing card, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that the other party couldn't seal himself into the poker, and he knew the other party knew that too, so he didn't understand why Hax would do that.
But when he saw the image on the playing cards, he was slightly taken aback.
On the playing cards, Xiao Xiaoxing, whose magic had been gathering for some time, waved his staff, and in the next moment, an incredibly terrifying stream of water blasted out through the playing cards.
At almost zero distance, even the God of Time and Space had difficulty dodging. His entire body was instantly swallowed by the flood, and the shimmering light of time also vanished instantly as he was swept away.
"We did it!" Nuomi exclaimed excitedly.
But Chang Lei's face stiffened, and his whole body turned cold, as if he were in an Arctic glacier.
He stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on the boy who was less than a step away from him.
The God of Time and Space, who had been blown away by the flood, was now standing in front of him without any injury, and his snow-white, jade-like hand had already touched Chang Lei's chest.
Looking at Chang Lei, who seemed to have stopped breathing, the young man smiled slightly.
"I've got you."
"You know what? I really want to see your expression behind that mask right now. It must be quite a sight."
As he spoke, the boy raised his other hand and reached it straight towards Chang Lei's face.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the boy's hands.
It was as if the whole world had been put on pause, and the entire world fell silent. Everyone held their breath, staring blankly at what was happening.
However, just as his palm was about to touch the mask, the smile on the boy's face suddenly froze.
In a daze, the shadows beneath their feet suddenly began to wriggle, and in an instant, they transformed into a blurry afterimage that lashed out fiercely at the boy.
The boy's outstretched hand suddenly retracted, but was caught by Chang Lei in mid-air.
brush! !
A piercing, teeth-grinding sound erupted, and the boy's figure retreated rapidly, flying more than a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, with a crisp metallic sound, a smooth, almost unreal hand fell limply to the ground. Chang Lei gently clutched his chest, his gaze fixed on the retreating youth, and whispered, "You're too late..."
"Do you think everyone has the same abilities as you greedy people?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out, and from the shadow beneath Chang Lei's feet, a black figure slowly wriggled and stood up, transforming into the outline of a human.
"You know that the path through the shadow corridor is much more difficult than the reverse passage."
wow
Looking at the long-haired woman in the tight-fitting clothes, almost everyone in front of the screen couldn't help but gasp.
Their eyes were fixed on the woman. Although most people didn't recognize Chang Lei or know about the existence of the Greedy Ones, they were all too familiar with this guy who had emerged from the shadows.
Only a few months have passed since the Shadow Calamity, and the scenes of the riots still linger in everyone's memory. Coupled with the recent attacks by the Shadow Clan, it is safe to say that people all over the world have a very deep impression of the monsters in the shadows.
However, to their utter surprise, not only did the mysterious man in white appear before the strange boy, but now even the Shadow Woman had materialized. And it seemed she was actually on the side protecting Earth.
"Can we try one more time? If we aim better, maybe we can take him down." Xiao Xiao glanced at Shi Yao cautiously.
"Have magical girls fallen to this level now?" Shiyao glanced at Xiao Xiao and said coldly. "They can't even observe the details of the battle."
"Wh-what do you mean?" Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chang Lei.
"That hand wasn't severed by the Shadow Woman; she deliberately removed it," Chang Lei explained softly. "She was probably worried about being pulled into the Shadow Corridor by the Shaking Gecko, so she cut off her tail."
"Hmph, your reaction is pretty quick..." Shiyao snorted coldly, looking at the boy opposite her with an unfriendly expression. "But if we can really pull him into the shadow corridor, it will save us a lot of trouble."
"So what do we do next? Should we try to force him into the shadow world?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"It's no use," Chang Lei shook his head. "From the moment he saw me, he's been wary of me pulling him into the reversed world. Now that the Shadow Woman has failed, he'll probably be even more cautious."
Hearing this, Shi Yao couldn't help but look at Chang Lei. "Aren't you a high-ranking official? Go get him."
Chang Lei's lips twitched, and he paused before saying, "I'm not a combat type."
Just as everyone was talking, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the dark, cloud-covered sky, and then, in everyone's sight, an incredibly thick bolt of lightning tore through the clouds.
The lightning bolt, like a giant sword cleaving down from the sky, slammed fiercely into the God of Time and Space, who had just stood up, slamming him back to the ground.
Chang Lei and Shi Yao were also startled by the power of the thunder. Their expressions changed simultaneously, and they looked up at the sky.
From within the dark clouds, a woman wreathed in silver lightning slowly descended, and instantly, terrifying magic and oppressive force swept down.
Upon seeing that figure, most people in front of the screen couldn't help but gasp.
Even Xiao Xiao was stunned, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, it's Deputy Director Qiu... Deputy Director Qiu is here!!"
