Chapter 1101 Fear

[Temporal Lock Point (Gold) (Gateway Treasure)]

[Exchange 10,000 F-Grade Gold Aether Stones to set Temporal Lock on a region]

[Durability: 998/998]

Sylas stared at the Treasure, his mind still racing.

Temporal Lock Point wasn't capable of changing the flow of time in a region. Instead, what it could do was force two timelines to work in unison with one another.

Whenever Sylas stepped off of Earth in the past, he would find himself suffering because Earth's timeline and that of the outside world had been misaligned. It was thanks to this Treasure that he had been able to go to the Level 30 Bazaar and change everything.

Ironically enough, as much as he hated his experience at the Bazaar the first time, it was responsible for maybe the greatest boost to his growth in the shortest period of time.

Unfortunately, Temporal Lock Point wasn't the magic bullet answer to all of his problems.

If Earth had still been under its time warp, what Sylas could have done was return and set the Lock Point in reverse, locking this region to Earth and thus taking advantage of Earth's time warp to accelerate time around him and gain extra moments to reach D-Grade.

This would have saved him from having to make a trip to Earth, which would have been especially difficult considering there were no superhighways to Earth right now for obvious reasons.

Still, such a path would have come with its own difficulties, since Sylas would have to learn how to build a teleportation point between here and Earth for any of that to work.

Well, he wouldn't need a full teleportation pad—just something capable of linking the spatial nodes of this place and Earth.

But all of those complexities were irrelevant since Sylas was once again suffering from success. He had successfully broken Earth out of its caged cycle, so there was no longer a time warp to take advantage of in this case.

That said… wasn't there another?

His Hibernation Realm. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

Wasn't the Hibernation Realm capable of accelerating the healing of his Contracts by a ridiculous margin? The percentages were so exaggerated at this point that they had left the trillions behind by a substantial margin.

Unfortunately, that had its own problems.

Sylas had already confirmed with Nosphaleen, when she had entered the Hibernation Realm to complete her Mesmeryx trials, that the Hibernation Realm didn't work on time. At the very least, it didn't heal based on accelerating time around his Contracts.

This made sense, though. And it was probably better this way.

If his Contracts were aging at over 500 trillion percent every time they entered the Hibernation Realm, they'd be dead before Sylas could even benefit from them.

But as Sylas' connection with his Hibernation Realm increased, and his comprehension of Runes and how things worked likewise deepened, his understanding became one layer deeper.

His conclusion was simple.

It was impossible for the Hibernation Realm to accelerate healing so much without some aspect of time being involved. The difference was that it was a much more clever usage—one that could help to rapidly heal wounds and accelerate evolution without actually impacting the lifespan of his Contracts.

If his Hibernation Realm could become less of a hidden place to store his beasts, and more like a hidden weapon that followed him around everywhere he went, what would that mean…

What if his Hibernation Realm could become a Domain of sorts—one that could both heal him and be used to crush enemies? What if his Hibernation Realm could even help him to extend his Combat Matrix Index to his Contracts as well? How powerful would they grow?

Sylas trembled, and he felt his Rune Spark Mastery progress just the slightest bit. But he was so focused on the task at hand that he hardly spared it the attention.

In a trance, Sylas completed one step after another, and even after he succeeded, he didn't show the slightest joy.

He simply pulled out the obelisk and stepped into it.

When he stepped out, he was spent, but he only gobbled up a large amount of food before stepping in again.

Every time Sylas left the jade, facing off against the obelisks, his aura became sharper and more refined, and the Runes of the world seemed to hum to his tune all the more.

And then, almost six months later, he stepped out again…

Having well and completely changed.

The world didn't hum to his tune any longer.

It fell into a silence.

One bred by fear.
