Chapter 16
A Battle Against Time
"Looks like you guys are in for a challenge. I still can create sub-spaces but the only problem is that these aren't completely empty. There are different terrains and places. I'll send you guys to fight there and match you up against the right people. Me, Sera, Artemis, and Thomas will do our best to save everyone." (James)
"Wow here am I the god and protagonist not even fighting the big bads. I must get my power back. Just Amaterasu is enough." (James thinking)
James sends everyone to the subspace pocket realm.
"Wow, that weakling down there is capable of these types of things. Even if I went all out it would take a while to get out of here. Not that I want to leave. I don't want any interruptions while fighting yo-" (Reloj)
"I didn't come here to talk. But if you'll stand still to help me get hits on you it will be appreciated." (Sora)
Sora is matched up against Reloj. A medium height man with an all white outfit.
"Wow that was a cheap shot you rainbow bastard. I'll pay you back the favor. Skill State: Time to Kill." (Reloj)
Skill Info: 'Time to Kill' type 'State'. Granted the power of Time Manipulation from an Omni Link. Reloj is a master of time. This skill erases the time that exists between points in time. Effectively creating the illusion of fast movement.
Reloj hits a strong jab launching Sora back 20ft
"What the hell. Can he teleport? If that's the case, then I have to fully use my speed of thought. If he has to chant the skill it will help more." (Sora)
Sora enters an intense focusing state.
"Great, he's confused. It usually takes defeat for the smartest and fastest of opponents to figure out my power. But this guy isn't a pushover." (Reloj)
Reloj launches another attack
"So that's what it is. Damn I can't really block it. But I can anticipate where you'll strike. But the chances of me being correct is 6/10. I guess we're in for a good fight, me and you." (Sora)
"Yeah we are. May the best win." (Reloj)
"Wow this guy is amazing, he really got his body to premove. Since all I do is erase the time in between I can't really control what happens in it. I just have to do an action before. But the same goes for my opponents. This is the first time it's ever happened to me. Damn it, I'm getting excited."
(Reloj thinking)
"I just learned this but what better than a time to use it. Skill State: Creative Mind and Book of Illusion Skill: Duplicate." (Sora)
Sora creates a being capable of moving many times faster than light. With the power to destroy a planet.
Skill Info: 'Creative Mind' type 'State'. Sora in this state Sora can produce up to 10 creations. The downside is the more out at once. The longer it takes to replace them. Also the more powerful the shorter they stay. The duplicate skill is great as it doesn't have such downtimes. But the power of the duplicate is significantly weak.
"Holy Crap. This is awesome. I have to improve Skill Domain: The Face Of Father Time." (Reloj)
Under Sora's feet is wide image of the face of a clock
Skill Info: 'The Face of Father Time' type 'Domain'. In a massive 20,000 thousand ft radius that follows Reloj. He can control the speed and perception of speed of all that inhabit it. This skill has a huge downside of being deactivated if the user blinks. Then giving them a time of 2 minutes until a second activation. This doubles in consecutive deactivation.
*Note: Skill Domains and State's can only be activated together by divine being's only.
"These concepts of Skill State's and Domains never existed before. What has happened. Is this what James meant by Rose creating false system's. Then what is the count system? A simple count to godhood can't be all. In fact I've noticed that besides Gruff and James. Everyone else has the same number. Even our opponents. This is all truly bewildering. But I have to focus on the fight. This clock seems to have extraordinary power. Wait why have I been thinking this long. Why is everything so slow? When will he strike? I created an being that surrounds me invisibly that immediately tells me what comes close to touching my body." (Sora thinking)
"It doesn't matter how smart you are. Even how fast you can think or move. In this domain my control of time is beyond all. I can't kill him in one hit. But while he's unguarded I can do a lot of damage." (Reloj)
Reloj unleashes a flurry of hits onto Sora. Sora and his creation's all moving very slowly and are unable to stop him.
"I've figured out what this domain does. He can slow movements and perception of time. That's why the being surrounding me has been alarming like crazy although he's nowhere near me. But there's one huge flaw. The ability to separate conciseness and have them act at the same time is something he hasn't accounted for. No that's not true. It's something even the greatest of fighters would be unable to predict."
(Sora thinking)
"Skill Ultimatum: Realm of The Infinite Mind." (Sora)
"What the hell did his mouth just move? Whoa, where am I? No way did he manage to overpower my domain? Shit I knew it I'm still weak. He used an ultimatum." (Reloj thinking)
Reloj's domain disappears in place of the grand prismatic hall.
"So this is a skill ultimatum. These new concepts of power are truly magnificent. But I can go beyond this, can't I? I'll figure it out while I get used to this." (Sora)
"You can't possibly mean the Birdcage. Either your way over his head or I'm severely underclassed. But don't count me out yet you rainbow asshole. Skill Ultimatum: Reloj." (Reloj)
Skill Info: 'Reloj' type 'Ultimatum'. The Domain from 'The Face of Father Time' develops a small area surrounding Reloj when someone enters it they will be under the same effect as 'The Face of Father Time'. In this state Reloj can also use 'Time To Kill' 'Time To Skip' and 'Time to Travel'.
Skill Info: 'Realm of The Infinite Mind' type 'Ultimatum'. This ultimatum transports users to a different realm here many things can happen.
"Wow, intimidating. It almost makes me worry. Sorry Reloj but once you entered this realm you already lost." (Sora)
"Well just see about that!" (Reloj)
Reloj charges at Sora.
"Ah that one 'Time to Skip' was it. You skip through time that way unlike 'Time to Kill' you can control your strikes. But also unlike 'Time To Kill' you don't disappear. Which makes it easier to track you if the opponents are good enough." (Sora)
Just as Sora said Reloj attempted to hit him but Sora saw it through and caught the attack.
"How the hell did you know about 'Time To Skip'. I haven't done it till now. It must be this Realm. Can you control time like me?" (Reloj)
"Time? No. I just simply know everything that can or could happen. Anything and Everything. Even when time changes it. I bet you're thinking of using 'Time To Travel' in order to take a different attack approach. Am I right?" (Sora)
"He's right." (Reloj thinking)
"Just what in hell are you? As far as I can tell you seem to be completely oblivious to Skill State's and Domains. So why do you possess such strong skills? What power do you possess?" (Reloj)
"If I were to tell you I trust that you will have a breakdown. The truth is quite unpleasant. Even I scare myself with what's going on." (Sora)
"What are you going on about? Just tell me already!" (Reloj)
"Well you see Reloj. You're one of my creations. Immediately I used my Birdcage: 'Rewrite' not knowing what it was. Turns out it turns anyone into a creation of mine. Making them follow anything I say. So to test it I ran a mock battle against you. Under the prompt of 'Try to Kill Me', like you were going to do anyways. Then when I clapped my hands 'it' activated." (Sora)
"Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. YOU FUCKING LIAR! ME BELONG TO YOU! THAT'S NOT RIGHT! But why? Why can't I remember my past?" (Reloj)
"I don't know, I guess it erases your memories. Too bad for you I guess." (Sora)
"My life has been a lie. That can't be. It must not. Why me." (Reloj)
"Anyways I learned all I needed too. Release summon." (Sora)
"Wait no! How dare you! I still have questions! Let me ou-!" (Reloj)
#7 from Heaven Reloj has Fallen.
Skill: The Basic foundation of the power in The Land of Omni. A technique that has an effect
Skill State: A Skill State is what happens when a person wants to use a skill without the need of saying the skill out loud. Meaning that the user will embody their skill and every hit will apply the skills effect at 10x the output. The amount of skill that can be applied to this state that can be used at the same time varies.
Skill Domain: Some skills possess domains. Areas where the user controls it completely. These usually have hard condition's to keep them to stand.
Skill Ultimatum: These are usually trump cards. This is a mixture of domains and skill states. This requires adept skill to maintain.
Bird Cage: The birdcage is a domain with absolute power meaning that it automatically creates a technique that will obliterate the opponent . This bird cage allows usage of all skills to be used in the area from all directions. The success rate of hits are 99%. These are usually one and done. If the attack hits the 1% it will be reversed to the user.
Negative State: This new version of the negative state is all risk and no reward. It's a forced Omni State that has a countdown towards the user being sent to Omega
Facie Divinitatis (In the Face of Divinity): The closest thing to T.C is this. User's gain an ultimate skill from the source known as 'Omni'.This can be used 3 times. The power gained from it has truly no bounds. The only thing it demands is victory. If you fail to achieve that. You will be sent to the omniverse where you will become a part of T.C.
