Chapter 526: Test
"Are you out of your mind?!" This time, it was Jessie who asked that question.
After all, assassinating Demigod Rafael was nothing but a pipe dream even for all the 12 Lawful Churches.
This City was a Mage City where many ancient Mages resided. Some were legend Rank Mages, while the rest were unique like Runeth, and it would be hard to measure their strength using ordinary means.
These Mages may not be as powerful as Gods, but they were powerful enough to predict the future and could perceive the location of the enemy in a matter of seconds.
\'But to fool everyone\'s perception means that this guy must be on the same level or more powerful than them.\'
Charles also looked at Professor in suspicion, then glanced at the surrounding walls and floors and furrowed.
Although he doesn\'t understand how this Professor blocked their thoughts from leaving this building, he was sure of one thing.
The young man standing in front of him might not be a mere schemer.
"You are a God\'s avatar? Maybe a Taboo Existence?"
"No, I\'m not strong enough to gain that title yet. But you can think of me as a powerful God." Professor said with a smile, which gave him a strange chill.
After a slight pause, Charles looked at the black scroll and tried to inspect it but only saw question marks on the blue screen.
"It\'s called Chaos Scroll. As long as you tore this scroll and cast this spell on Demigod Rafael, everything will be over in a blink." Professor added calmly.
But his calm words unsettled Charles greatly.
"Everything will be over in a blink? What about the defensive array? How can I escape the array\'s retaliation? Moreover, there will be more powerhouses standing next to Demigod Rafael, right?" A solemn look appeared on Charles\'s face as he said those words.
"You don\'t have to worry too much about that. By the time you assassinate Demigod Rafael, the defensive structure in the sky won\'t be under anyone\'s control."
\'This guy seems to be planning something big.\'
Charles remained silent for a few seconds and soon sighed.
\'I\'m sick of being played by someone else.\'
[I advise \'Host\' not to act rashly.] Genesis warned him in his head.
\'I also understood a little about how the defensive array system works, Genesis. As long as I control my emotions, I don\'t think the defensive system will activate. Also, I need to confirm something.\' He paused for a moment and sent out another order.
\'Genesis, can you figure out what power does he possess by observing his battle?\' Although his [Eyes of the Runes] skill had been active for a long time, Charles still hadn\'t found a clue about the opponent\'s power.
[It is possible, Host. Unlike you, I have been exposed to \'Insight\' power for more than 46 millenniums and am very sensitive to any foreign power. As long as I came in contact with that power for a moment, I\'ll be able to differentiate them.] Genesis responded calmly.
\'Oh? Then, let\'s try out something new.\'
While muttering, Charles raised his hands, activated [Hands of Wonder] skill, and released two invisible strings towards Jessie and Oliver.
At the same time, he looked at Professor and spoke.
"I\'ll do the work for you. But let me test your strength a bit." He paused for a moment and activated [Accelerate Thoughts] skill on himself.
The next instant, the whole surroundings suddenly started slowing down.
But he didn\'t stop there, though. He cast the [Rebirth] Body spell on himself and transformed into his elemental form.
The next instant, his body bathed in a reddish flame, and soon he looked more like a human of pure flames.
At that moment, Charles noticed that the \'Present-Time\' essence appeared inside his body and helped him accelerate and decelerate thoughts willingly.
Noticing his elemental appearance, Professor furrowed his eyebrows and tried to stop his movement using his wisdom power.
But Charles was one step ahead of him.
He shifted his attention towards the \'System Cube\' in his consciousness and activated the [Time Stop] ability.
An invisible ripple came out of his body the next instant, spread towards all directions, and soon enveloped the Floating City.
The next instant, the \'Time-Stop\' ability took effect and froze everything!
The City of Miracles was covered by a strange crystal-like barrier in a blink.
Simultaneously, Charles saw everyone around him get frozen in time and appeared more like statues.
\'I can think normally. Now, let\'s see if I can move my body.\'
Just as he had expected, he didn\'t face any restriction at all!
Then, he tried to move the invisible strings towards Jessie and Oliver but couldn\'t.
\'Those invisible strings are not working in the Time Stop domain. It seems only my elemental body can move in this place.\'
While muttering inwardly, he stepped forward and started walking towards Professor slowly.
Whenever he took a step forward, he felt like he was walking inside a sea of water.
It was a strange feeling he had never experienced before.
As he arrived near Professor, Charles raised his hand slowly and cast his Fire Magic spells one by one.
Alas, nothing worked except for the Red Tear spell!
But he knew that the Red Tear spell had no attacking ability and felt conflicted.
\'Damn it; I need to think of something else. I have to cripple this guy before this [Time Stop] effect goes down-\'
Before he could think further, he suddenly noticed Professor\'s hand started to move!
Although his hand movement appeared slower when compared to his, Charles couldn\'t help but take a deep look at him.
\'He can also move in [Time Stop] ability domain?\' He instantly gripped his fist, made a battle stance, and thrust it forward towards his chest.
At that moment, he also noticed that Professor\'s eyes started to twitch.
The next instant, a strange invisible power came out of Professor\'s body and nullified the [Present Time] around him.
Following that, Professor blinked his eyes, raised his left hand, and directly blocked his fist!
Then, he curled his lips upward and spoke in his mind.
\'You are indeed full of surprises.\'
Saying so, he snapped his fingers using his other hand.
A moment later, Charles noticed a familiar ripple came out of Professor\'s body, moved in all directions, and soon nullified the \'Present Time\' in the City of Miracles.
Everything around him started to move gradually and soon returned to its normal state in a blink!
At the same time, a terrifying shockwave came out from the place where his fist met Professor\'s hand, spread in all directions, and even caused the half-broken windows and the wooden door to turn smithereens.
The chandelier also detached from the ceiling and flew in a different direction. The broken chairs, pews, and tables were also smashed by the shockwave and flew outside!
On the other hand, Jessie and others were also pushed by the shockwave, flew in different directions, and soon crashed onto the nearby walls.
Even Professor got pushed back by this shockwave and soon showed a surprised look on his face.
Charles was the only one who stood in the same position and remained composed.
\'He also used the power of \'Time\' to nullify the \'Time-Stop\' effect earlier. Genesis, did you pick up something?\'
[Yes, Host. I also sensed the power of Fate, Past-Time, and Luck appeared around his body to break the \'Time-Stop\' ability.]
\'Oh? He has the power of Luck, Fate, and Past Time, huh? Who is this guy?\' A hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Professor looked at his hand in surprise, then at Charles and asked.
"Do you want to test more?" His voice also contained a hint of surprise and shock.
Meanwhile, Charles retracted his hand and shook his head.
"It won\'t be a good thing for both of us.. Tell me more about your assassination plan."
