The battlefield shifted. Zephyr Grimstone stood firm,his presence undeniable, his aura pressing against the fabric of reality. And he has changed his percentages to 30%
Zephyr:
(Low, calm)
"Now that I have released 30%, my strength has risen, my speed has accelerated beyond recognition--and I control time itself. I can reverse it, alter it,bend it to my decree.
Void ling gaze sharpened, his presence fully analyzing the shift--and in that moment, his stance changed. No longer measured, no longer merely observing. He took this seriously now.
Void ling:
(Quiet, firm)
"Blaze--this isn't just power. This is structured manipulation over existence itself. His 30% won't be a simple Escalation. We answer carefully."
Blaze still held Eternal Flames law active, his flames flickering with absolute command, his stance adjusting but unwavering.
Blaze Vortex:
(Prepared and steady)
"Then we make sure the damn flames don't fold, no matter what time throws at us."
Zephyr exhaled slowly, his presence unwavering--because now, the confrontation had truly reached its next stage. He moved--not just forward, but beyond the constraints of time itself.
One moment, he was standing still. The next-- he was already behind Void ling . Then, before Blaze. Then, in countless places at once-- as if time itself had unraveled beneath his control.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and analyzing)
"Void--he isn't just moving fast. He's rearranging time.
Void ling:
(Quiet, unwavering)
"It is not just speed. It is adjustment--structured time manipulation against measurement force."
Zephyr:
(Soft and commanding)
"Time does not exist as a singular stream. It bends. It reverse. It alters. And now--it answers to me."
And then--he demonstrated it further. Void ling and Blaze moved to strike, their attacks surging toward him-- but before they could land, the movement reversed. Their motions rebound. Theh found themselves back at the exact point before their attacks had even begun.
Blaze Vortex:
(Steady and adjusting)
"Tch--so he's straight--up rewinding our moves now? He is similar to Eclipsera the time weaver."
Void ling:
(Quiet, and certainty)
"Then we must strike outside time itself.
Zephyr gaze remained unwavering. Because now--the confrontation had evolved into something beyond force. And then Blaze Vortex moved first. He uses Eternal Flame law activating once more, it's force converging,expanding across the battlefield with absolute decree.
This was no longer a simple attack. The fire answered Zephyr's structured control--adjusting, adapting, refusing to be redirected. The flames tore through space, converging toward Zephyr Grimstone. For the first time--the fire nearly reached him in 30% of his power. But in that moment Void ling struck at his back.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low, unwavering)
"Void--damn, you found that gap fast."
Void ling:
(Quiet, and firm)
"Time bends to control, but structured force demands presence. He cannot evade everything at once.
Zephyr shifted slightly, his posture adjusting--he did not falter. He did not fall from the punch from Void ling at the back earlier. Instead he was standing.
Zephyr:
(Calm and Smirked)
"Don't think just because you punched me at the back, doesn't mean you have the upper hand."
Zephyr exhaled slowly. The battlefield shifted, the fabric of reality twisting beneath his command. This wasn't just acceleration. This wasn't just stopping time. The was complete control over time very nature.
Zephyr:
(Soft and commanding)
"Time does not simply flow. It is altered, rewritten,structured beneath my control. And now--you answer to time itself."
And then--he moved. Not forward. Not with overwhelming force. He reversed their motions entirely. Blaze and Void ling felt it immediately. One moment, they were pressing forward. The next--they were back at the moment before their strike had even begun.
Void ling:
(Analyzing, Quiet)
"It is not longer just movement. He dictates flow itself."
Blaze Vortex:
(Low, unwavering)
"Damn.. he straight--up rewrote our momentum."
Zephyr remained unshaken,his presence steady, his gaze watching carefully. Because now-- they had to answer time itself.
Void ling:
(Whisper talking to himself)
"Zephyr was watching us. Observing. He speaks of his time manipulation the moment we attack..."
The realization settled--Zephyr wasn't just reacting to their strikes. He was analyzing every movement before they even fully committed.
Void ling:
(Quiet, commanding)
"Blaze-- listen carefully. His time manipulation isn't just reacted--based. It's Observational. He doesn't need to counter--we answer before he begins."
Blaze Vortex:
(Low, unwavering)
"So what? We strike outside his damn perception?"
Void ling:
(Quiet, calculated)
"Not perception. We attack within a moment that does not yet exist."
Zephyr:
(Soft and composed)
"You believe the answer is to counter before i begin. But time does not operate under anticipation alone. It functions beneath structure, beneath command. You cannot answer what does not yet exist--because I dictate when existence begins."
Void ling gaze narrowed slightly, his presence adjusting ever so slightly--but he did not falter. Blaze clenched his fist, his flames burning brighter, sharper, Eternal Flames law still fully active, fully answering the shift.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and unwavering)
"Then we don't waste time on what doesn't exist. We answer what's happening right now."
The battlefield shook under an impossible shift. Blaze Vortex moved to activate Eternal Flame law--but in that moment, the flames vanished completely. The fire did not flicker. It did not fade. It was simple gone. Blaze eyes widened, his stance adjusting. He was shocked because his main ability has deactivated automatically.
Blaze Vortex:
(Shocked, tense)
"What--?"
Void ling:
(Eyes in shocked)
"Did the fire itself deactivated on it own?"
Zephyr Grimstone Smirked, his motion already set. He found the opportunity and surged directly at Blaze.His fist surged forward, the strike carrying the full force of his 30%, power,time bending around it, existence shifting beneath his control--but void ling did not falter. His hand caught he punch.
Void ling:
(Calm and absolute)
"You know, not everything is about rushing into conclusions, rather wait for what will happen. If you want to punch blaze, just because his Eternal Flame law was automatically deactivated,then it would be nice of you-to take my power."
And then--he activated ZERO DOMINION: CONTROL OVER EXISTENCE. Reality itself collapsed and restructured within his command. Void ling did not simply manipulate space-- he commanded existence itself. Matter answered his decree. Energy obeyed his will. And time shifted beneath his presence.
Void ling:
(Low, undeniable)
"Zephyr--you dictate percentages. You manipulate time. But now, I hold the authority over existence itself."
Void ling turned to blaze, his expression sharp, measured. His voice command, but also something deeper-- undeniable suspicion.
Void ling:
(Low, and analyzing)
"Blaze--your Eternal Flame law. It didn't fall. It didn't weaken. It deactivated on its own."
Blaze exhaled slowly, his flames still pulsing faintly around his fist--but not fully returning. His face was extremely serious, his mind processing every detail. He knew why. But now--he had to say it.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low, and measured)
"Yeah... I know why."
Void ling:
(Quiet, and unwavering)
"Then speak it."
Blaze exhaled again, rolling his shoulders slightly, his flames pulsing ever so faintly--but not igniting fully. His voice remained low.
Blaze Vortex:
(Soft and firm)
"Eternal Flames law isn't structured--it existed within a state of existence. Maybe it because I keep using it over and over that why."
Void ling:
(Smirked)
Well that shouldn't be a problem, I have my Zero Dominion, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zephyr Grimstone unwavering in presence, had watched what happened, had registered the impossibility of Blaze's Deactivation. He looked at Void ling, Knowing he had activated his Zero Dominion.
