Chapter 142: Chapter 138 (Realm Supression)
Time Manipulation.
The Law of Time. One of the most complicated laws of the universe. No one truly have reach the apex of mastering this Law.
The Law of Time complements another law, The Law of Space. If one have truly mastered and has reached the apex of these two laws. An example of one mastering the Law of Time, one will have access to the 'River of Time' where all time flows.
But, if you truly want to control time like the back of your hand without reaching the apex; you also need to control the law of space.
The Law of Space. Mastering this Law complements the Time Law. If you have an understanding of the Time Laws; making time faster or slower, you can easily do that. But, if you ever try to revert time back or either travel to a distant future. You will also need to have to master, the Space Law.
Reverting back time, or traveling to the future. Will need the help of the Space Law, understanding the space law, can make you have the understanding of coordinates. Coordinates will help you find the path where you want time to flow. Either it flows backwards or forward.
Space Law, if you want to instantaneously travel anywhere by passing through space. Will need the help of the Time Law. Understanding the Time Law, will help you travel through space without worrying about time. You can easily travel through worlds, even universe.
Of course if you have reach the the apex of either laws. You will not have to complement each other. If you master the law of time at it's apex; you won't need to master the space law to revert back time or travel to the future. It is also the same for the space law.
If you master the Law of Time, you will become the lord of time. It's also the same for mastering the Law of Space, you will become the lord of space.
But, being the Lord of a Law has it's price!.
No one have truly reach the apex of a law. Even those law that is not as complicated as the Law of Space and Time. Because the closer you will reach the apex, the closer you are to lose yourself. Being one of the law is being the slave of the law. That's how terrifying it is.

The moment Alex used [Time Manipulation]. The surrounding stopped as if it was frozen, sound?, wind?. All of it stopped.
Alex when this happened wanted to retaliate by attacking Scáthach, rather than dodging her spear. But, his instincts stopped him because it was literally screaming to him that it was dangerous to continue!. Saying, if he ever made that decision he would suffer a hit.
Following his instincts, Alex dodged the spear.
Him, having his instincts screaming to stop him, and him having a decision to dodge. This all happened in an instant the time stopped.
And his instincts got proven right. As he dodged the spear by tilting his body to the side and quickly back off. While his body was still backing off mid air.
Sounds of cracks could be heard even though there was nothing that got hit. That sounds didn't last long because, breaking sounds followed, it's as if the one that got cracked was broken. The moment he heard the breaking sound. He saw Scáthach move, in this place frozen by time.
Although it was out of his expectation. But, he wasn't surprised because he knew there were beings that could move even if the time was frozen. Still, at least he dodged that attack.
"Surprising! Truly, Surprising! Gravity! Space! and now Time! I even more want you to be my disciple now." Scáthach said
"Haha, Little Scathy having the power to move even when I stopped time. It even fueled my desire to make you my woman." Alex laughed a bit
"Really? Time is currently stopped right now. It seems our one minute will be long." Scáthach said as she dashed after him. It seems she can fly too.
"Sistine, have you already know what rank she is?." Alex asked
"Like you thought, she is at the immortal rank. I'm afraid you can't beat her right now, dear, there are six stages of an immortal and I think she is around stage 3-4." Sistine said
"How much is the difference between an immortal and celestial?." Alex asked
"You are still at the Celestial body realm, dear. While she is already at the immortal rank. So she is A greater realm higher than you. You should know that a tens of half-step Celestial soul realm is no match for one Celestial soul realm which is the rank after it. Even though the boundary of both is just half a step. But the difference is comparing heaven and earth.
And this continues, like how tens of half-step Celestial soul realm are no match for one Celestial soul realm. It's also the same for tens of half-step Celestial spirit realm are no match for one Celestial spirit realm and so on. This woman is already around the middle stage of an immortal so you can imagine how strong she is." Sistine said
"Why do I seem, I can beat higher realms than me?." Alex asked
"There is something called Realm Suppression. This is the one behind on even how close they are at the next rank, but still they can't beat it. I don't know why this won't work for you, when you are still at the Legendary realm and you have already killed an immortal/preparation realm. And you didn't even use your full power.
Currently, I think your power is around Celestial Soul to Celestial Hero realm, that is only for your normal power, excluding your skills, laws and principles. At the mortal rank it was because you have receive so many benefits, like, remember the time your stats was doubled? that benefit is still on effect, you are two times more powerful from someone who is the same rank as you.
If you include your ruler god's blood that keeps getting unlocked this is why you can skip through rank, I think. As the blood got unlocked little by little your body also gets more stronger and stronger, especially your bones, veins, etc... buy you just didn't notice it.
I think you should also not base the powers on numbers dear. Like your stats on the system. That is not your real capability. You think someone with around average 350-400 in all stats, especially with your 560 speed can keep up with an immortal? who is who knows thousandths more times stronger, logically. Although she may have not use her full power yet. Still, it is very clear that you are stronger than what it looks like in your stats.
This one isn't a game, dear, it is reality. Not 1s, 0s or codes rules here, Numbers doesn't matter. You may think of the system stats as an add ons on your power. This is one of the benefits of someone having the Unrivaled System." Although Sistine took to long to explain, still, in the outside it was only an instant.
"I understood a bit." Alex nodded
