429: A man unaffected by time!
Song Zhong stared at Kronos, the Time God, his eyes flickering.
"Since your attitude is so firm, it seems that talking alone won't solve the problem."
Hearing Song Zhong say this, Michael's heart tightened. Not good, something was about to happen.
And when Kronos heard Song Zhong's words, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Although you are younger than me, this old bone of mine is not so easy to bully."
A silver stream of light appeared, and before Michael could react, the silver Law of Time had enveloped Song Zhong and Kronos.
Michael quickly activated his [Mortal Divine Realm], wanting to use the power of Miracle to stop the battle between the two.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. The silver light vanished in an instant.
Along with it, Song Zhong and Kronos also disappeared.
Michael stared blankly at the empty scene before him, falling into deep regret.
Why couldn't he have been more decisive just now?
Now Song Zhong had been taken by Kronos to an unknown place. Without him, these two might very well not only decide who was superior but also fight to the death.
Any accident to either of them was a sight Michael did not want to see.
But he had no way to leave the moon, so he could only stand there and worry.
Since things had come to this, Michael thrust the Holy Sword in his hand heavily into the moon.
A boundless golden Divine Power shot straight into the moon's core.
With a rumble, a storm erupted around Michael, and countless dust particles retreated in all directions.
Unable to exert his power anywhere else, he could only vent his frustration in this way.
Michael silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Song Zhong and Kronos would definitely return alive…
In a desolate gray world, a silver glow appeared, and the figures of Kronos and Song Zhong simultaneously emerged there.
Song Zhong stabilized himself and observed his surroundings.
The sky here was a dead gray, and there was no sign of life anywhere around.
The word 'desolate' was perfectly suited to describe this place.
Suddenly, a surging river caught Song Zhong's attention.
On the barren Gobi Desert, a silver river rolled forth, huge waves crashing against both banks, sweeping countless gravel and mud into it.
"This is… the Time River?"
Song Zhong felt a strong aura of the Law of Time in this river.
The power of Law nurtured in this river was too strong; compared to it, the power on Kronos seemed insignificant.
Rumble!
A loud noise came from the upstream of the Time River, and then, the water flow of the Time River suddenly surged.
Silver waves roared, and the river water instantly overflowed its banks, as if a dam had burst. This Time River was actually having a flood.
Song Zhong frowned. Why did he encounter a flood in the Time River as soon as he arrived here?
There was no such coincidence. It seemed that all of this was arranged by Kronos.
Sure enough, a figure slowly appeared on the surging Time River. It was the Time God, Kronos.
"Song Zhong, show me your ability. Let me see how long you can withstand the erosion of the Time River?"
Song Zhong looked at the surging river water and retreated rapidly.
The Time River was such a strange thing; who knew what dangers its water held?
Song Zhong did not dare to touch the Time River easily. While retreating, he activated the skill [Ice Condensation].
The Time River, in theory, was also river water. He wondered if Water God Gonggong's skill could freeze the river water.
Unfortunately, things did not go as Song Zhong expected.
The surging river water showed no signs of solidifying and continued to roar towards Song Zhong.
Song Zhong understood in his heart that this seemingly surging river water was not real water, but merely a manifestation of the power of Law.
Then the problem arose: constantly hiding was not a solution, but this surging power of Law could not be endured by brute force alone.
Suddenly, Song Zhong thought of a solution.
A layer of water film appeared around Song Zhong, completely enveloping him. From an outsider's perspective, Song Zhong was already in the center of a water sphere.
The surging Time River rushed towards him, but the water sphere floated steadily on the surface of the water.
Kronos looked at Song Zhong, who was hiding in the water sphere, and his brows furrowed.
Song Zhong, hidden in the water sphere, did not choose to attack proactively. Seeing Kronos's somewhat conflicted expression, he, on the contrary, was no longer anxious.
It was not surprising that Kronos could control the Time River, after all, he was the longest-living Time God currently alive.
However, anyone with eyes could see that Kronos was still too small compared to the vast Time River.
Even if he could control it temporarily, as long as he and Song Zhong kept at it, Kronos would definitely be the first to give out.
Seeing Song Zhong remain as still as a mountain in the water sphere, Kronos indeed changed his strategy.
He took out his pocket watch from his in arms and gently moved the pointer.
Suddenly, the entire Time River seemed to rewind like a movie. The surging river water began to flow backward, and the barren Gobi Desert reappeared.
Since he knew Song Zhong's defense method, he just needed to rewind time and interfere with Song Zhong before he made his move, preventing him from defending. Then he could pull Song Zhong into the Time River.
At that time, once Song Zhong fell into the Time River, the advantage would return to him.
Kronos was very much looking forward to what Song Zhong would look like when submerged by the Time River.
Song Zhong looked at the rapidly retreating water flow and understood Kronos's intention.
This guy actually wanted to use time reversal.
It had to be said that the ability of time reversal, no matter in what scenario, was an overpowered existence.
However, the price paid by the user was also extremely high.
Kronos's face had aged a few more years, and he himself had long been aware that those who played with time would also be played with by time.
He was betting with his own lifespan. Song Zhong couldn't help but admire this Time God. He didn't expect the other party to be so crazy, willing to pay any price to bury himself in this long river?
However, just as the Time River was flowing backward, Kronos's eyes widened.
His heavy eyelids could not hide his eyes, because a strange thing happened.
Everything was flowing backward with time, but Song Zhong was still standing in that water sphere, without the slightest change.
Song Zhong also noticed his abnormality. It seemed that the Time God's reversal ability had no effect on him.
The Time River returned to its original appearance and continued to flow into the distance, as if nothing had happened.
Kronos suddenly had a feeling of being in another world. His voice could not conceal his excitement, "So, the legendary Person of the Other Shore, it really is you!"
