Chapter 279 - XIX Battle For The Cosmic Realm (Second Part)

From within the Elijah's body, a profound and unparalleled aura burst forth.

"Time Lock!"

The red-eyed creatures suddenly froze, even the world king was about to speak and he realized he couldn't move.

'T-this!' The World King felt depressed in his heart, this time he could see the power which Elijah used to stop time wasn't a law. 'How can't it not be a law. What is this?!"

The didn't have much time to think as he felt his mind slowly froze as well. 

Elijah was standing in the void, a part of his armor has been broken and full of cracks. Yet, the smile never left his face, this was because far away in the void, outside the range of his time lock, an enemy attack was coming closer.

Galactic 9 Changes Second Chapter: Star Nebula!

Observing the purple clouds rushing towards him, Elijah turned to the corrupted souls of the dead and then dashed in the direction of the World King.

Boom!

With the pressure formed outside the time lock, the time lock was broken and the flow of time reverted to normal as a hammer and a scepter clashed in the void.

Time Acceleration!

Origin Time Acceleration!

Both sides accelerated the flow of time as they exchanged a million blows per second, the world king summoned the dead souls as his meat shield, blocking the way to Elijah who only opened the space within his hammer and sealed them inside.

Bang! Each time his hammer collided with the scepter, a small Shockwave would split the two. A sharp pain was felt by the two, before a burst of energy caused both of them to fly backwards.

"What artifact is that? How can its attack be this powerful?" For the first time, Elijah looked at the crimson scepter with a slight surprise. You must notice that not only his own artifact has attained an astonishing level of hardness as he even combined it with a supreme origin. Yet. How could the power gap between the be close to nothing?

Elijah's Origin Time Force covered the entire cosmic realm, only when he carefully inspected the weapon in his hands did he came to an answer.

"The World King must have really refined the cosmic heart as he said, but how could I forget that the body he is using is the body of a prince of the void clan? With the Amount of Void Energy cultivated in that body, having any other law would pose a great danger, much less having all the laws in a single entity which means this scepter is the manifestation of all the laws condensed in a single object." With this he could finally understand, if used by anyone else, this weapon would be just a top-grade divine artifact at most. However, when the crimson scepter was used by world king who refined the cosmic heart, only then would its true might be revealed.

'I must separate that guy from his weapon.' This was the conclusion Elijah reached. Yet, saying so was way easier than doing it.

"Elijah, I must admit you are truly marvelous. If I'm right, the future must have been pretty bad for you to come all the way to the past. Don't you think I may as well destroy all the souls within the reincarnation system if you continue to oppose me?" The tone of the World King's voice changed to a colder tone on his last few words.

Elijah was about to attack when he froze on the spot. He hasn't even wanted to guess how many people he knew were in that place. So if he was telling the truth, there is a high chance that he must be sure he has something that could bring him a great damage.

"Good boy, at least you know when to act and when to stand still." The world king smirked before waving with his hand, summoning a green dot in the shape of a translucent and small child.

"Papa, Mama, where are you? Why I can't see anything?" The child asked in a childish voice as she tried to understand her surroundings. Elijah could see it was a mortal human child with a bit more than three years old and a pair of bright green pupils that could gods would envy.

"Oh, do you remember who she is?" The tone of his voice grew even more vicious as his scepter hanged above the child's head.

"..." Elijah eyes were slightly red when seeing this. Not many people knew about where Chloe's true soul reincarnated, but how could he not know she had been granted a new life as a mortal on Earth. This child then merged with the vision he saw on earth, where the same girl was staring back at him as both she and her mother were sucked into the void.

Elijah's whole body was boiling with anger. If it wasn't for the child right next to the crimson scepter, he would have already tore his body and set his soul to the oblivion.

"What, do you believe that with my power, I can easily decimate her soul to the point nothing can bring her back, not even your power of time." With a movement of his hand, the scepter slowly moved downwards with the light dot slowly showing signs of pain as it illusory shape started to burn. 

"No!" Elijah dropped his hammer, and a shirking yells capable of shaking the universe responded before he appeared before a pile of green dust.

"Arrg! Roar!" The painful scream turned into a dragon's roar as Elijah's claw-like hands grabbed the world king by the head and cut thought the void in a ray of bloody light. The surrounding swiftly changed as they both appeared to be in a multi-colored tunnel.

When Elijah and the World King left the tunnel, they were in a vast green land next to a huge imperial city.

City of Rome, 156 AD.

Right above the skies of what would be known as one of the greatest mortal empires on this planet, two supreme being faced each other, or more precisely, it was a blood-eyed figure beating a man in purple robes.

In this present state, Elijah couldn't control the massive fury in his heart that made him even forget that this was the body of Yawen's brother. Thin blades of time continuously open numerous scars on the body of the World King as Elijah firmly held onto his neck with one hand and smashed the other one on his face endlessly.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Flying with the heavily injured King in his hand. The crossed the many mortal world target times and space. 

Kicking him in the chest, the world king clashed on at the ground as a huge rumble was heard before a massive piece of rock was carried by Elijah and thrown on the ground.

A gigantic tiranosaurus was about to have its lunch when a huge mass of earth and dust buried its body together with all other prehistoric creatures of that age.

In a distant world where the north and the land of ice was separated by a huge wall of ice, two great forces fought each other for the sake of the world. An undead dragon shot a breath of ice as a ray of light appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the undead dragon.

"What?" The Lich King sitting on top of the dragon didn't have time to react both him and the dragon broke into a pile icy dust. Following it all the undead below him, followed the same fate and turned into dust before the ray of light fell into a deep tear in the sky.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

A man and a woman, each on their own dragon stared at each other in confusion.

Deep space, a billion Replicant creatures surrounded a human starship that approached a gigantic structure of metal which opened a portal in the void from which two humanoid beings emerged from one side and entered another tear in space.

When Elijah stopped, they were back in the eye of heaven. The world king's body was bloody and full of bruises and injuries and his left arm was completely dissolved.

"S-stop, stop! If you kill me, this whole space will cease to exist!" The only reason why he used Chloe's death to hit Elijah was because he was confident in this. Being one with the cosmic realm, his death would be the same as this whole realm ceasing its existence.

"No, you won't!" Elijah's hand formed a hand seal. The many towers and palaces spread all over heaven and earth shone brightly, runes and more runes appeared on the surface of his skin.

Each tower suddenly shot a beam of light towards the sky, followed by the other towers in each planet of every galaxy and every cosmic realm, the light beams gathered in the chaos where a a multi-colored formation took shape.

Another figure appeared before Elijah, a white-haired old man with a twelve-jeweled crown on his head.

"You may be speaking the truth, but I've been preparing for it my whole life." The old man crossed his arms when seeing Elijah's shining brighter and brighter. This figure was something only Elijah could see.

'Show him, my younger self. Show him the true power of time.'

"Understood." Elijah, who have calmed himself closed his eyes.

"Time Rewrite."

Following these words which resounded in every corner of creation, the world king's eyes slowly closed as he felt its conscience fading in the distance.
