Chapter 422: The Goddess's Persistence
"She uses the power of time to travel through the timeline at will."
"Created countless clones of myself and sent those clones back to different previous timelines in order to seize the time authority of different time and space."
"Perhaps from her own point of view, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes."
"As long as she holds enough time authority...she can always grow to the point where she breaks the rules and goes against nature."
Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, his heart filled with complicated emotions, and murmured:
"The time powers she holds in her hands should all be the same."
"Even if they are all collected into her hands, it cannot change the fact that the thing is a dead thing."
"Yeah..." Demeter in front of her slowly said:
"I understand why she made the choice she did."
"Because I witnessed with my own eyes how much suffering she suffered on that road."
"But one day, she will realize that all her struggles are in vain."
"Nothing can escape the constraints of this space-time universe. Even if you control time and space, you will eventually be enveloped by them again and get lost in the endless night."
"All her current actions are only inevitably accelerating the process of time and space towards destruction."
"Rather than saying that she is an idealist who overestimates her abilities...it is better to say that her current behavior is more like a martyr in an unchanged time and space."
She stared deeply at Li Yang, her eyes reflecting the long-lasting accumulation of time:
"I'm glad that at least there is still a trace of sanity left. Even though it is shattered, I am still looking for a way to reconcile with this time and space."
Li Yang was speechless, with turbulent thoughts swirling in his heart.
He never thought that Demeter would be split like this, with one half stuck in its ways and the other half still struggling.
At this moment, a heart-shocking fluctuation suddenly came from the void.
The bruised martyr is still working hard to use all the time authority she has gathered, intending to forcibly distort the entire space-time dimension.
"She is really crazy..." Demeter in front of her shook her head helplessly, "If she is allowed to continue, the entire time and space will be affected."
She turned around and looked at Li Yang solemnly: "I know this is not perfect, but it is only a temporary solution for now. Please follow me."
After saying that, she turned around and stepped onto a staircase leading to nothingness. Li Yang had no choice but to put his doubts aside for the time being and follow her pace.
Soon, they were in a chaotic and void realm.
In the distance is Demeter, who has fallen into madness. Just as she did at the beginning, she continues to control the time authority she gathered.
"Everything she is doing now is in vain."
Demeter from the future said in a deep voice, "The rules of time cannot be challenged. Any life is insignificant in the face of time."
Li Yang looked at the crazy figure in the distance with mixed feelings in his heart.
Obviously having one of the most powerful original powers, she should be able to do many things that were previously unimaginable.
But now it seems that she is just a drop in the world struggling under the rules of the universe.
"Then how should we stop her? Do we have to...?" Li Yang said hesitantly, making a gesture of wiping his neck.
If you think about it carefully, the Demeter in front of you claims to be from a more distant future.
So if you kill the Demeter in front of you, does that mean she will also disappear with her?
The newly arrived Demeter stared into the distance and spoke slowly after a long time:
"Life and death are just fleeting thoughts in the long river of time. What we have to do is to make up for her mistakes..."
"This is what I need to do, but I need your help."
"After this, if you need that time authority, take it with you and leave."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and a powerful wave of power suddenly appeared around her, causing the entire realm of nothingness to tremble.
Under her control, a large number of time fragments gathered in her hands, and the blazing time energy condensed and transformed in them.
"The power of time authority is based on the rules of time." She spoke slowly, with a firm tone,
"Since she was born in time, there is no escape. I will use the power of the same source of rules to kill her arrogant delusions."
Under her control, the shining power of time gradually condensed into a somewhat familiar long sword, exuding a blazing light.
"Is this... the authority of creation?"
Li Yang frowned slightly and said doubtfully.
The new Demeter smiled and nodded slowly: "Yes, after you left, the power of creation was placed in my hands."
Taking advantage of Li Yang's stunned state, Demeter clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands. The time power fluctuations around her body became stronger and stronger, and even the realm of nothingness began to twist and crack.
At this moment, the crazy Demeter in the distance finally sensed this wave of power and turned around suddenly, her eyes full of madness.
"Why...why...?!"
She roared, her face full of cracks twisted and hideous in pain, like a dying madman.
She once again activated the remaining time power in her hands, trying to resist the powerful time force in front of her.
But in comparison, the authority and strength she holds now is obviously minimal.
The great sword of time in Demeter's hand shone with dazzling light, piercing through the void defense line in an instant and piercing the opponent's body.
The light suddenly burst out, illuminating the entire realm of nothingness.
"Why...? I just want..."
"I just want a happy ending for everyone..."
"I've tried it countless times, countless times!"
The madman in the distance let out a horrified roar, and his entire body began to disintegrate under the powerful power of time.
Countless cracks appeared on the surface of her body, just like a worn-out piece of art that was accelerating in erosion and decay.
Soon, her existence was completely transformed into time dust flying all over the sky, and even the shackles that trapped her were cut open and turned invisible.
Li Yang couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.
He never thought that Demeter, who controlled such power, would be defeated so easily.
"What she controls is only the surface energy of time, and she cannot truly control the original power of time." Demeter explained beside her,
"Anyway, in this universe, no living being can truly control time. This is a rule, and this rule is ten thousand times more powerful than we can imagine."
"She's been trying to push through that boundary for years, but as you can see, she's been struggling in vain."
