(6 months later, one week before the first attack, Leo's POV)
Only a week stood between preparation and action, and yet success continued to elude Leo, as he still had a considerable distance to cover before perfecting his ultimate move.
So far, he had successfully integrated the first two phases of the technique, as both time divergence and spatial relocation had reached a level where he could rely on them in combat.
He could now split the time stream at will, creating a momentary divergence where two outcomes existed simultaneously, while extending his awareness across both streams in that fleeting instant, effectively placing himself in two positions at once.
But to add to that, within that same fraction of time, he could now bend space with precision, relocating his body instantly to any position within a two hundred meter radius, as long as his perception could anchor the destination.
