Lord Shadow

At the same time that Azief went inside the Time Tunnel, Will who was running around the world for his morning run, passing the African continent for the hundred times in his jog, he too had a premonition of the return of Azief.

When he was running, he suddenly felt the lightning underneath his feet suddenly lost its kinetic momentum and he almost stumbled right into the deep sea.

He tries to stabilize his speed but then before he could even find his footing, suddenly all of his lightning died down almost instantly, his speed like it never existed dissipated and he felt himself falling down from the Andes Plain.

In the time he had passed from the African Continent he was catapulted into a space rip that connect him to the last space rip he created in Andes Plan and as the lightning over his body and his speed source suddenly stop working he found himself free falling into his death.

But the moment of the panic was only a second and then his Speed Source suddenly surges up again and his lightning bursted out.

Will quickly regains his power and he uses his speed to create a small tornado underneath his feet making him able to stay afloat as he run on top of winds and clouds, creating a streak of golden green lightning that streak past clouds and windstorms

Will landed on top of some mountain the France mountain range as he calms his beating heart down, lightning shrouded his entire body

‘What was that?’ He thought to himself.

He slows down Time around him as he vibrates his body activating his sense.

When he was running he suddenly felt a surge of Time and Space energy that cause the connection between him and the Speed Source to be temporarily halted.

If not for the act that Time stopped for a few moments, Will would have been more than just being in a little bit of panic

‘Someone is rewriting Cause and Effect, compressing Time Rips’ Will thought to himself before his countenance become gloomy.

The reason was because he recognizes this kind of energy. It is not foreign instead it is very familiar.

‘Time Tunnel’ he muttered.

He could feel that the end of the tunnel is on Earth. Someone had rewritten Time and Space, no, to be more accurate, compresses Time and Space, manipulating the curvature of Time to get off at some specific Time lines.

The reason why Will recognize it is not only because he is a Speedster but because he too once uses Time Tunnel to return back to Earth prime. And as such he knew who is using such method to return back to Earth.

Azief is returning. But Will is worried because Azief had choose to use Time Tunnel.

‘Azief might not have a choice’ Will thought to himself

If Azief uses the Time Tunnel, that means the differences of Time between the dimension and Universe that Azief is in and Earth prime comes with a large difference.

Travelling through Time Tunnel is not that dangerous…if you are a Speedster since Speed Source would act like a guide. But to anyone who did not have a Speed Source, navigating through that many Timelines that have converged and intertwined inside that tunnel would not be so easy.

And worse, if Azief slipped inside the Time Tunnel. It is already a terrible thing for it to happen to a Speedster but if it happens to someone without a Speed Source, it would be a nightmare.

Speedster is more prone in slipping themselves into a Time Tunnel or slipping inside it. Though Will is not sure how Azief would sue the Time Tunnel.

Technically, if you move in such a high speed velocity, you could break the barrier between Time and Space.

Speedster are also guided by the Speed Source so it is easier for them to break through that barrier.

But while Azief speed is astonishing, that is not the only requirements of breaking through Time. The fact Azief could do this and creates such a ripple of Time means Azief had improved once again.

He might have even broken through to Essence Creation. Will knows that Azief walk the Path of Perfection. Even if Azief just passed the Divine Comprehension level, his powers and abilities might not be that far or maybe even surpassed the power and abilities of an Essence Creation leveler.

Even on Earth right now, there is no Essence Creation leveler. And Divine Comprehension leveler could be counted in one hand.

The risk of Time Tunnels is that if one is not careful, one could get lots and trapped inside it.

Unless you could break through, meet a Speedster coincidentally or some Time Master went into the Time Stream and extracted you out, you might get stuck in there for a long time. Not to mention there is still the Time Wraiths inside the Time Tunnel.

If you are lucky you would be thrown off into some distant past or some distant futures in one own timeline and dimension.

To those who were not that lucky they might get trapped into a Time Loop without even knowing that they are trapped in a Time loop.

What is terrifying if you are transported into a Time which is not of your dimension and on your Timeline.

There is a reason why Will constrain his speed when he is running. He is careful not to un too fast that it might breaks the Time barrier and created a Time Tunnel.

Whatever the case, maybe Azief had reached a level where such thing could no longer bother him Will thought to himself and nodded.

‘What will happen, happens’ he said to himself

there is another reason why he is not entirely feel at ease with the premonition that Azief, his sworn brother is returning.

Because now he had to make a choice.

He had long decided to face it head on but sometimes, thinking about it and really doing it is two different things. he too need to steel his heart.

‘Azief is returning’ he once again muttered and he close his eyes and take a deep breath. The vibration of his body stopped and the Time flow around him moves normally now.

He knows what would happen now.

The moment Azief returns means the beginning of that future. But since he had decided to trust his sworn brother, he would trust him until the end.

‘I need to prepare myself. It might not turn out to be like that. I don’t believe the future is set in stone. That Will is not me. And that Azief is not my brother. It is just one possible future’ he said to himself.

He is reminded of his conversation between him and Erika in Greece and he clench his fist.

He takes a deep breath and then nodded at himself.

‘I need to return to Pandemonium first.’ He sighed.

He looks toward the distance and sighed. His mind seems to think of one person in Pandemonium and his sigh grew long

‘If not for Loki, I would not mind being in Pandemonium everyday’ Saying this, he took a step forward.

Lightning exploded out of him, arcs of electricity covered the entire twenty kilometers radius of the forest and the Time and Space around the forest whirls a bit creating a distortion in Time and Space.

Will instantly raises his speed as his speed is nearly reaching the speed of light as he travels from some forest in France to Pandemonium in four step.

Thankfully, his body had the key for the formations laid in Pandemonium. If not, he would run into a straight wall of pure magic energy.

Pandemonium like always is covered in fogs that outsiders could not penetrate with their eyes or magic.

He arrived at Pandemonium Port in one step, shocking the people working at the port.

Before any of them could come close to him, Will takes another step, lightning arcs covered the ground as his trials leave a lightning trails and sonic boom echoes out in the surrounding.

He takes another thundering step as sceneries passes him by and he is in front of the Center Palace.

BOOM!

A shocking sonic boom sounded in front of the Center Palace gate, shocking the idle guards.

Some of them who were playing cards in the rest room was so startled that they drop down from their chairs

Gust of wind attacks the gate but it had no effect to the weak looking wooden gate. It was like the wind powerful momentum was sucked into the wooden gate

Will stopped in front of the entrance gate, his body clad in electricity and lightning swirls around his feet and thighs

Arcs of lightning covers the ground in front of the front gate of the Center Palace. The guards at the wall was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Golden Speedster

Will look toward the towering high palace and he sighed. Then he looks at the cautious guards and said simply

‘Open the gate’
