Zero walked gently in the shadow timeline, her presence unseen and unfelt, her body and aura melding with reality like subtle natural laws that could not be easily observed. The modifications made during the construction of the microscopic layer of reality had also given her authority in the shadow timeline, allowing her projection to easily descend and move around unimpeded and undetected.
This wasn't her only projection in the shadow timeline right now, as numerous ones were moving around providing more information and clues for her. She was spying on various demigods, various figures at the peak of power in the shadow timeline. At their level and attunement to the surroundings, it wasn't feasible to depend on Layton to fully grasp their information and thoughts.
