Every move Deuteros made was seen by those from other universes.
When they saw that the Antarctic monster wasn't hurt at all, they were all shocked.
Goku: No way! That was the Galaxy Explosion just now! If I didn't use Super Saiyan 2, I wouldn't have been able to take that attack head-on. How is this monster so strong?
Odin: It's not a matter of physical strength. That creature wasn't hit by the attack at all—it dodged it using its time-space manipulation powers.
The Ancient One: Perhaps when the attack touches it, it gets shifted to another point in time or space.
Bruce Banner: Is this monster really that powerful? A creature that can manipulate time and space… isn't that invincible?
The Ancient One: Not necessarily. If you have even stronger time-space control abilities, you can defeat it.
The Ancient One glanced at the Time Stone embedded in her chest. If she were to face this monster, she'd probably have to use the power of the Time Stone. As for space manipulation... she wasn't sure if her magic could contend with it. Unless she had the Space Stone.
Jiraiya: Then what should we do? Just leave that monster alone?
Hill: I just asked Cain, and he said the SCPs in their universe are only monitoring the Antarctic monster from a distance. It seems like the creature won't leave its spot.
Sisyphus: So we just leave it be?
Deuteros stared at the Antarctic monster, a heavy expression on his face.
He felt something strange. When he attacked the Antarctic monster earlier, it seemed like there was another energy mixed in.
"I wonder if I can teleport directly to it and touch its actual body..."
That's when Shion suddenly spoke up.
"Wait! Shion!"
Deuteros immediately realized what Shion intended to do and tried to stop him.
But Shion had already acted, vanishing on the spot.
Deuteros instantly looked toward the Antarctic monster but didn't see Shion at all!
Meanwhile, Shion had already appeared near the Antarctic monster and launched an attack.
The next second, a terrifying energy fluctuation and intense danger erupted behind him.
He quickly turned around, only to see Deuteros' Galaxy Explosion light wave blast roaring toward him.
The sudden attack left Shion pale with fright.
"BOOM!!!"
When the full force of the Galaxy Explosion erupted, Shion barely managed to summon his Crystal Wall in time.
Even so, he was still hurt by the Galaxy Explosion and was now kneeling on the ground in great pain, blood pouring from his mouth.
Shion: Cough, cough… Deuteros, why did you attack all of a sudden?
Deuteros: What are you talking about?! I didn't even move, and I couldn't even see where you were!
Shion: What? I was right next to the Antarctic monster!
Shion turned around in confusion, only to see the Antarctic monster was somehow now incredibly far away.
Before he could react, the surrounding space suddenly twisted into a strange dimension.
Then he felt an even more terrifying and powerful Cosmos.
He turned his head and saw Deuteros in the distance, preparing to unleash another Galaxy Explosion.
Even further away... was another version of himself!
"Dammit, I've been taken into a past timeline!"
Shion finally understood what had happened, his expression turning pale.
But by the time he realized, it was already too late. The Galaxy Explosion had already descended upon him.
Shion had to stabilize his Crystal Wall, or he'd be killed by this attack!
He didn't know how long the bombardment lasted, but eventually, it stopped.
By then, Shion couldn't see Deuteros or his other self anymore.
Now, he was lost in a strange dimension!
Asmita: I see. I understand now. Shion, push your Cosmos to the limit of the Eighth Sense! Otherwise, you won't make it back!
Seeing the message from Asmita on the screen,
Shion immediately ignited his Cosmos, pushing it to the level of the Eighth Sense, and kept raising it higher!
That's when he sensed another Cosmos—warm and familiar.
"Asmita?"
This Cosmos felt like the one Asmita released when he forged the prayer beads, leaving Shion puzzled.
Deuteros: I found you, Shion!
As soon as Deuteros' message appeared, an exit connecting to the real world opened up next to Shion.
Shion quickly used teleportation.
When he appeared, he was back by Deuteros' side.
"You idiot! That was way too reckless. Good thing I managed to locate your Cosmos in time—and thanks to Asmita's help too."
Deuteros spoke with a dark expression.
He finally understood that the other Cosmos he had been sensing earlier... had been Shion's all along.
When Shion teleported near the Antarctic monster, he had already been dragged into the past timeline.
He had become the one to take the hit from Deuteros' Galaxy Explosion.
In other words, Deuteros' previous attack, which seemed to have been aimed at the Antarctic monster, had actually been hitting Shion the whole time!
"Haa… haa..."
Shion, realizing this, was still catching his breath in fear.
What had just happened, though it seemed like only a few minutes, had been a series of hair-raising dangers for Shion.
If anything had gone wrong, he would have been dead!
Dōko: Good thing you're okay. Shion, you were way too reckless.
Seiji: Shion, Deuteros, return now!
Regulus: Eh, eh, what just happened? I don't get it.
The Ancient One: It seems Shion was dragged into the past and became the one to take Deuteros' attack instead of the Antarctic monster. Could it be that the creature foresaw the future and acted accordingly?
Tony Stark: What a headache of a monster. Time-space powers really are too OP!
Nobita: I wonder if using a time-stop device could control it.
Dorami: That's hard to say. If the opponent can control time too, it's hard to predict the outcome.
Thanatos: Hmph, that's just because you humans are too weak. If it were me, I could kill it across space!
Diana: Are you sure? Maybe it would foresee that and dodge, or just send the attack back at you.
Thanatos: Impossible!
Hypnos: Calm down, Thanatos.
Bruce Wayne: Hold on. Is it just me, or are Shion and Deuteros completely still? And their sweat isn't even falling. It's like they're frozen in time.
Hearing Bruce Wayne's words, everyone stared at the screen carefully.
Then they all saw it—Shion and Deuteros were truly motionless, and the sweat that should have dripped down was just floating in the air.
It was as if time had stopped.
Then, a man in a suit and wearing a bowler hat appeared.
