Crack. Crack.
A strange sound similar to the clock pointer moving came from the blue mechanical ball.
The sound of the pointer moving became stronger and stronger. Chris was covered by a blue halo.
Lod noticed a strange thing. The object around the blue sphere seemed to have fallen into a strange state of 'stagnation'. It felt as if the slow release button was pressed.
"Come with me and fall to the end of time!" Chris' expression was filled with madness. He was as resolute as a warrior who faced a dismal situation. He held the bomb in his arms and rushed towards Lod, trying to pull the enemy in front of him into the abyss.
"Chris.."
Only then did Rick realize that this rookie that she had always looked down on did not betray their sacred oath. Instead, he chose to use another method to perish together with the enemy who destroyed the timeline.
It turned out that she had wrongly blamed Chris.
Even though he was an incompetent space-time agent, he had made the most correct choice!
To use his life and time to defend the 'Divine timeline' with his life. This was a vow that every time agent joined T. V A. Before participating in all the '＿correction' missions, he must swear to the three Time Judges.
Chris, he did it!
Boom
A dazzling blue light suddenly bloomed in the alley.
The figures of Lod and Chris were enveloped by this dazzling blue light. The sound of the clock pointer suddenly became louder, covering all the sounds in the world. The energy that erupted from the blue sphere instantly distorted the space and time within three meters of it.
The huge energy fluctuation caused a large area of space and time to gradually collapse. All the objects in the range seemed to have been swallowed by the 'time'.
All things appeared in a state of decay and aging at different degrees. Even the lifeless stones turned into a pile of weathered sand after their time was forcibly taken away.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
After a full ten seconds, the dazzling blue light gradually dissipated.
When Rick looked again, he found that there was no one there, only the fine sand after the soil had decayed. Whether it was Chris or the man, there was not even a trace of existence left, as if they never existed.
"Chris. I'm sorry. You are a true warrior." Rick's eyes were moist with tears. She suppressed the sorrow in her heart and sighed, "May God bless you. We will not forget you."
Just as Rick thought that he was safe, a slightly frivolous voice sounded beside his ears.
"What a dangerous prop. I thought I was going to die."
This voice sounded so familiar.
Rick's neck was as stiff as a rusty gear. He slowly turned his head to look at the source of the voice. When he saw the man's face, her heart sank to the bottom of the sea bit by bit. It was replaced by a bone-chilling wind.
The man was still alive!
Chris had used his own life as bait to detonate the time bomb, hoping to kill this man. However, the result was that the man was completely unharmed. There was not even a speck of dust on his clothes. He was still as new as ever.
"No. This is impossible. No one can escape the range of the time bomb!" Rick wished that this was just a nightmare. Unfortunately, this was not a dream, but a cruel reality.
"Actually, the principle is very simple."
With a smile, Lod raised his finger and explained, "When moving at high speed, with a few small steps, it can form an afterimage in place. It is like a clone, and the bomb hit a clone."
When he finished speaking, the Lod in front of him suddenly dissipated and disappeared.
Then a hand rested on Rick's head, and Lod's light voice sounded in her ears, "Look, it's like this. You didn't even notice when I disappeared, right?"
The temperature of that palm made Rick feel a chill run down her spine.
An indescribable chill spread all over hrt limbs and bones. It was as if she was placed in an icehouse dozens of degrees below zero. Even his thoughts seemed to be slowed down by this chill. She was so stiff that she couldn't utter a single word. Her pupils unconsciously enlarged to the extreme.
"You still have one last chance."
Lod gently stroked her head and said lightly, "After all, I am not a bad person. As long as you cooperate well, I can guarantee that you will be alive and well. I hope that you won't reject my good intentions this time."
"I have a companion, Paul." Rick gritted ger teeth and said, "How is he?"
"He is already dead." Lod's gaze was calm as he said, "When he came, he ran into a nuclear explosion and didn't have time to escape."
Rick's pupils constricted, and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes. "You killed him!"
"Hehe, don't think too highly of yourself." A hint of ridicule appeared in Lod's eyes. "If I wanted to kill him, where would I get a nuclear explosion?"
"Then why didn't you save him?" Rick bit his lips and said hatefully, "You should be able to save him. He is also a member of TVA. He can also tell you the information."
"Why should I save him?"
Lod was expressionless. His patience was about to run out. He said coldly, "There are three people who know about TVA's intelligence. I only need one person. Why bother saving him?"
"Yes, you only need one person." Rick sneered, "But unfortunately, I won't tell you. No matter how you torture me, don't even think of getting any information about the TVA from me!"
Lod was silent.
Rick thought that he was afraid, and the hatred in her heart was vented. "TVA won't let you go, you bunch of bastards who disrupt the sacred timeline. Just you wait. They will be here soon. When the time comes, you will all die and be buried with us!"
"Then, I will respect your choice."
Lod sighed regretfully, as if she was disappointed that she was not willing to cooperate. She said, "There are many ways to obtain information from a person. It is not limited to the strength of a person's will."
"I came here with the intention to talk as peacefully as possible, but unfortunately, you don't seem to want to cooperate. Then I can only use my own method to dig out what I want to know from your brain."
"Even though you might not like this method."
His cold eyes made Rick have a bad feeling. "What do you want to say"
"What I want to say is..."
Lod grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "I have a special interrogation method that allows you to tell me everything about the TVA, including your personal preferences, disgust, experiences, thoughts, and even your fetish."
Rick originally did not believe it. She had experienced special training related to the TVA, so she had no fear of the interrogation methods, her willpower was comparable to steel. It was impossible for anyone to pry open her mouth and get any information.
When the two of them appeared, they struck her heart like lightning!
"Lord Lod!"
Ulquiorra and Haschwalth respectfully handed over the two gems in their hands.
"As you can see."
Lod picked up the yellow gemstone that symbolized the soul. He smiled at Rick and said, "This is my method. Let me see if the so-called TVA Space Administration staff can resist the power of the infinity stone."
This scene made Rick's pupils suddenly shrink. Her heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand. An extremely terrifying idea emerged in her mind. The entire logic of the matter was instantly straightened out. She screamed in horror,
"You... You... You are the reason for the mutation"
"Congratulations, your answer is correct."
Lod held the gem with one hand and revealed a meaningful smile. "I will reward you with one chance to experience the mind stone."
