Seele, exhausted, fell back asleep after her mind ran wild for a while.
Ryn left the small black hole world, carrying the Star Sword, and then with a snap, broke it in two.
He re-condensed a black hole and threw the Star Sword into it.
The original Star Sword was forged by Ryn in the past on the Imaginary Tree out of boredom, using the dead cores of one extinguished star after another.
Unfortunately, after compressing many star cores into nano-sized particles, the actual effect was contrary to Ryn's expectations. It did not possess the weight of a thousand worlds, but rather presented a kind of illusory, insubstantial reality.
Perhaps it was due to the quantum tunneling effect, perhaps because the cores compressed to the nano-level also became black holes and conflicted with each other, or perhaps in the extreme, they broke through the concepts of physical laws and entered a higher dimension and level?
But whatever the case, the end result was that the Star Sword was inconsistent with the real world and refused to conduct Honkai energy or Imaginary energy.
So... for someone like Ryn who wielded the power of Authority beyond common sense, and for an existence like Tianqi who didn't care about the laws of physics at all, the Star Sword was a bit... brittle.
The kind of brittle that snaps...
So Ryn simply melted down the Star Sword. He would forge a weaker one that could conduct Honkai energy when he had time later.
In the black hole, the Star Sword was directly decomposed by Ryn into specks of void dust, constantly flickering between the virtual and the real.
Whenever a particle became solid, Ryn's left hand, covered in soul energy, would become a dark, chaotic void, and he would strike down with his fist.
When a particle became illusory, Ryn's right hand, covered by the various Authorities he possessed, would become a purple, dim starry sky, and he would strike down with his fist.
Having sat idly on the Imaginary Tree for eons, Ryn had learned some forging techniques out of boredom.
And he had understood the essence of forging!
The so-called innovation! Is to just smith randomly. As long as you don't break it, you forge it to death, and whatever comes out, comes out.
If you get something good, it's a huge profit. If you get something bad, you keep forging.
After tens of thousands of hammerings back and forth, these particles condensed into one gem after another, glowing with the brilliance of countless stars.
Ryn took them out of the black hole and channeled his power into them, preparing to feel their effects.
One minute passed...
Five minutes passed...
Ten minutes passed...
Ryn scratched his nose awkwardly and tossed the gems into his Stigmata Space.
Great... couldn't feel anything. A failed forging.
———————————————
(You can guess what it is, it will be of great use later)
———————————————
Ryn returned to the black hole space. Seeing that Seele was still fast asleep, he left a message and some marked Stars of Eden, then left.
He detached this black hole from himself and threw it into a safe place in the Sea of Quanta.
Based on the time Tianqi reversed before, he should still be in time...
He had to first confirm the current situation of Kiana and Sirin.
Ryn began to picture the location from Tianqi's time reversal in his mind. Where the heart goes, the path follows.
——————————————
By the time Ryn reached that area, it had completely changed from what was seen in Tianqi's time reversal.
Was the Sea of Quanta's recovery action so fast? Imaginary and Quantum creatures had already begun to be born here, forming a brand new world together.
Ryn suddenly became confused. He, like Kiana, could now vaguely sense some changes in the timeline.
For example, right now, Ryn could feel that the time in this world was completely chaotic. Time from hundreds of millions of years in the future was jumbled together with the present.
If you picked up a random stone from the ground, it could be from a billion years in the future, or from thousands of years ago, or even half from the past and half from the future...
"All traces have been completely erased... it's been too long, and I can't reverse time anymore... so, should I go back to the prime world to check on Kiana's situation first?"
Ryn muttered to himself.
He felt so powerless. Not only did he not know who the enemy was, he couldn't even observe them.
The other party could change the timeline at will; the gap between Ryn's current level and 'Its' was just too vast...
"Heh... hahaha..."
Ryn suddenly burst out laughing, laughing until tears streamed down his face...
This again, this powerlessness again...
Just like when Higokumaru died in front of him, and he could only watch helplessly...
So weak that he could do nothing...
*Voom—*
The time in this world was suddenly paused. Ryn was frozen in place by the time stop, unable to move.
The next moment, a giant, blood-red, cross-shaped abyss that blotted out the sky appeared.
It looked like a person's eye, but it was different from a normal eye. It had no pupil or sclera, only a bottomless, blood-red abyss.
A deep scar, made of the same substance as the 'eye', ran down from top to bottom, forming the blood-red cross-shaped abyss he was now seeing.
The moment it appeared, a sense of vastness, grandeur, and an untouchable reality filled the heart of every living being.
No... perhaps only in Ryn's mind.
Because only he could still think in this time-stopped area...
Is this the one that attacked Kiana and the others?
The gap between me and 'It' is truly vast...
Ryn emptied his mind and sealed his memories, throwing them to Tianqi.
He was prepared to be killed, but he didn't want his memories to be peeked at by such an existence, which would then uproot those around him.
Although this was also futile.
The blood-red abyss seemed to tremble slightly. Ryn felt that the eye had shifted its gaze and was now focused on him.
"Heh, my life is over."
Ryn sighed sorrowfully in his heart. He was now like a small ant discovered by a human; whether he lived or died depended entirely on 'Its' mood.
Then, Ryn couldn't see anything anymore...
The blood-red abyss had disappeared, but not completely. It was just that the current Ryn was no longer qualified to observe 'Its' existence.
But 'It' must still be there, because the timeline in this area began to change rapidly, and the flow of time was gradually accelerating.
Ryn now had a very terrifying thought. Was he like a character in an animation? Was there a creator god called the "Producer" who was beginning to arbitrarily modify the development and situation of the story?
The characters in the picture cannot observe the creator's actions, and don't even know what is happening, they can only proceed and operate according to the scenes they have set...
Time suddenly slowed down, and then a bizarre scene appeared in Ryn's eyes.
A Honkai Creature and a Quantum creature were holding a wedding...
"Huh?"
