Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Blazing lines of fire shot across the empty Royal Palace, pursuing a slender silhouette flickering like a phantom, continuously demolishing buildings one after another with power not far off from artillery bombardment.

Moreover, the specially crafted demon-repelling bullets, combined with the infinite ammunition granted to Black Steel by spatial abilities, were enough to pose a significant threat even to a Great Wizard.

A direct hit to the body would undoubtedly reduce it to minced flesh.

Then layer on oneself a series of auxiliary abilities like Combat Premonition, Hourglass of Time: Acceleration, Deceitful Fate (with its side effects counteracted by the World’s Favor), and so on.

The combat between the two did not show an overwhelmingly dominant stance from the female side.

Although Milan had been promoted to Upper-Rank Wizard much later than his opponent,

he had incorporated the Prophetic School’s Mysterious Source: Eye of All-Seeing techniques beyond the knowledge of the Clock Tower School, making his methods more varied than those of Miss Kongyu across from him.

Many "out of scope" abilities also left Kongyu somewhat at a loss.

But the young Great Wizard was undeterred, waving her hand to summon a swarm of screeching creatures: giant locusts, slime monsters, dog demons, elemental spirits, ghosts... all turning into a torrential flood rushing towards Milan.

Witchcraft: Dimensional Covenant

They all came from the Lower World, Spirit Realm, Celestial Realm, Shadow Realm, or other unknown otherdimensional spaces, many with bizarre, indescribable shapes.

Though they all fell under the muzzle of Black Steel, they greatly relieved her pressure.

It was evident that in the confrontation between the two, Milan’s abilities were more time-oriented, while Kongyu’s were more space-oriented.

Whizz!

After probing, Kongyu flashed to widen the distance.

"These unrecorded spells in Echoes of Space-Time, are they derived from the Prophetic School’s Secondary Ultimate Creation? Quite interesting."

The girl’s arrogance was blatantly evident, even before assuming control of the Clock Tower School, she regarded the Eye of All-Seeing as her vassal.

In fact, when a school came together to embellish the ultimate creation’s embodiment, it was not just the main contributor, the "chief stakeholder", who benefited, but the entire school that experienced systemic enhancement.

A school having completed Truth Embodiment finds it simpler to further extend the Secondary Ultimate Creation or ultimate knowledge.

Like in the Life Tree, each Original Essence has a Guardian Angel. Although they don’t compare to the Life Tree itself, they reach the Demigod status as well.

The Secondary Ultimate Creation: Crown of Miracles is one of them.

The ideal scenario would be to construct a complete sequence system, allowing one a peek at the seat of a True God not entirely impossible.

Even if unable to manifest a Secondary Creation, members of a school with Truth Embodiment benefit in numerous ways.

With doors flung wide open, learning speeds increase, promotion thresholds lower, casting becomes material-free, risks of losing control diminish... and so forth, form the standard package.

Neighboring Wild Mages and ordinary School Wizards drool with envy.

The already embodied Clock Tower sits at the top of this sequence, innately holding a higher Extraordinary Status compared to the Eye of All-Seeing.

No wonder Kongyu would speak in that tone.

"Tch, arrogant woman..."

Though appearing a bit disheveled compared to the other’s leisurely, adept movements, Milan still responded with retort.

"No-right-to-speak useless men should be quiet, I’m getting serious now, be careful not to die, Vice Chief!"

In the night wind, the hems of the young girl’s dress fluttered as she once again raised her right hand.

She was clearly about to unleash some powerful spell, but Milan quietly activated Observing Time Line, the dials reappearing in his eyes, grasping Black Steel firmly, ready for action.

Yet what he awaited was not a powerful spell from her, but...

Crack!

The night sky abruptly shattered.

Boom——!

A terrifying four-headed demon dragon tore through the barrier of time, descending with an earth-shattering posture.

"Oh, Milan, you’re quite bold, aren’t you, going on a date with a pretty girl behind your wife’s back?"

Though teased mercilessly by Aiven, Milan was deeply relieved by such reinforcements.

Dragging the confrontation this long, he had realized the gap between him and his opponent. If Aiven had been any later, he might truly have been battered down thoroughly.

He had no confidence he wouldn’t submit at that point.

Then Aiven’s four gigantic dragon heads turned to Kongyu, echoing the words she had said to Milan:

"Beautiful Miss Kongyu, I advise you to sign a contract and withdraw from the competition for the Clock Tower. We can leave the Vice Chief position for you.

If you refuse? Haha, we’ll drag you back to be Milan’s little wife!"

As he spoke, the massive dragon claws covered in steel scales clashed, sparks flying in all directions.

However, due to this unserious proposal, Olivia stomped a foot on his head, instantly deflating any sense of grandiosity.

"Your Majesty Galliot is quite the humorist!"

After a brief change in expression, the young Great Wizard quickly mollified. Clearly, she had done her homework before coming here to seek out Milan.

This team was one of the most renowned in the human world, with immense strength and outstanding battle records, too dazzling to ignore.

It was just unexpectedly, they had the power to break the constraints of Time Gate, recombining two non-interfering parallel timelines into one.

But even facing a three-on-one situation, this haughty female Great Wizard remained unruffled.

’Whether I can win is still debatable, but when it comes to escaping, no one can surpass me.’

Bang!

She casually retrieved a silver pocket watch and threw it on the ground, turning the surface bright silver, rippling like water, reflecting an inverted mirror world identical to the real world, and leaped into it.

Magic-like Technique: Mirror Image Gap

Effect: She can freely open a door anywhere in the world, no barrier can stop her steps, even in the "Broken Star Sea" where spatial rules are chaotic.

She can also replicate temporary false spaces outside the [Witchcraft Garden] as her battle stage.

Leaving only a laughable statement in place:

"Ha, if you have the ability, catch up! I’m not interested in men weaker than me, but being a concubine to His Majesty isn’t out of the question, hehe..."

"Chase!"

Ever since the initial encounter in the [Mechanical Realm], it was only today that he finally managed to catch her tail.

If he doesn’t want to be randomly duped like today, it’s best to resolve this big trouble in one go.

Hasn’t a brother done ruthless things in the past?

Boom!

Aiven vibrated his wings, crushing the air, and grabbed Milan, rushing into the waves without hesitation.

Olivia, standing on the head of the Cosmic Dragon, appeared particularly dangerous.

This inexplicable woman not only covets the family’s treasure trove (full of various treasures in the [Clock Tower]), but dares to covet her man as well?

She touched Olivia’s two high-voltage lines in her heart that should never be touched.

What’s bearable and what is not?

Raising her hand, the [Electromagnetic Floating Cannon] beside her was already fully firing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

The arsenal Aiven prepared for her was also activated, launching missiles one after another.

Mirror spaces layered upon each other, inverted cities, floating mountains in mid-air, vast sea of clouds, polar ice bridges, lava lakes, waves surging in the ocean world...

Were all fiercely suppressed by the Four-headed Demon Dragon, the most powerful adaptive creature with four attributes for all terrain.

It’s as if a demolition office has written a big "demolish" on it, the fate is sealed.

Only the bulldozer is replaced with various types of artillery, missiles, and dragon breath.

Following the pursuit for a while, Aiven was impatient to play hide-and-seek with her anymore, and well aware of how troublesome a Great Wizard skilled in spatial power would be.

Fortunately.

Although the opponent’s changes were clever, in terms of absolute power strength, there was an unbridgeable gap between her and himself, who is a Senior Grand Wizard and a [Badge Knight].

The four dragon heads took a deep breath.

Breathe!

The composite dragon breath of [Exile Breath], [Hurricane Burst], [Flame Dragon Breath], [Frost Dust Breath] instantaneously pierced through layers of mirror spaces, wiping out all of Kongyu’s hard-earned gains.

Clink—!

Amidst the crisp sound of breaking mirrors, a group of people broke through the turbulence of space-time, falling back to the night following the "New Moon," which is the normal timeline.

The [Mirror Image Gap] of Kongyu was completely shattered, declaring entry into spell cooldown, and the [Witchcraft Artifact: Time Gate] also failed simultaneously.

The location where they appeared was still the place they had left in the Royal Palace, but not a trace of the battle was left in the real timeline.

Internal tricks exhausted, external magic forbidden area, Aiven’s four heads looked down at the Great Wizard who had nowhere to escape, their voice rumbled like thunder:

"Miss Kongyu, surrender, being the second in the school isn’t bad at all.

And I’ve always been curious, when the [Clock Tower] opened last time, why didn’t you go? You’re really lacking the courage of a chief!"

Milan, the party concerned, was also curious.

According to Graham’s statement, after he passes away, he still has the possibility of inheriting the [Clock Tower].

But from the effects of the [Time Gate] and "Echoes of Space-Time," I believe you’re lying, the old man is very bad, terribly biased.

This fellow who received more benefits, did not appear at the critical moment, leaving the two of them troubled.

Aiven also had deep complaints, to prevent the "Chaos Worm" from escaping, he had paid millions! Even though his wealth was growing, this isn’t an amount that can be taken out casually.

Of course, one can choose to be optimistic.

The [Time Gate] was probably given away from the [Clock Tower] by Graham long ago, he might not even know who ultimately receives it.

The seemingly cornered girl had a peculiar expression, not understanding why the two men cared about such an obvious question.

"Why didn’t go? Of course, because I foresaw I would be in danger!"

Aiven and Milan:...Really convincing.

It’s the first time hearing someone openly speak of fearing death, yet we have no words to rebut.

But simultaneously aware that the opponent’s personality is strong, has no sense of honor, and will never rest until achieving the goal... if let go, she will surely be the most troublesome opponent.

Just about to take action again.

Roar——!

"Who dares to cause trouble in the Mushchinu Kingdom?!!"

With a roar, the violent aura from a palace not far away swept in like a hurricane.

"His Majesty Galliot, Duchess, our game can continue for a long time! Snite, obediently be my assistant, your fate is sealed, oh hohoho..."

Suddenly, black cracks with eyes opened around Kongyu, violent auras and spatial rules forced Aiven to retreat two steps.

"Are you crazy? Directly violently penetrating the Secret Realm Barrier?!"

She leapt into the gap like a black spider web, the girl in a white dress emitting faint light slowly disappearing into the depths, even in escape, looking like a victor.

Meanwhile, a golden meteor streaked across the night sky.

Even with the effect of time loop being lifted, the Lion King apparently didn’t realize that he and the entire people of the Royal Capital were inexplicably deprived of a day.
