Bizarre Realm

The entrance to the trap is a guillotine-like mechanical body. Empowered by the Anti-Gravity Rune, tens of thousands of tons of steel will fall in an instant, delivering crushing damage to all targets in range. The surface is inscribed with runes that stabilize the ’Advanced Demonized Weapon,’ infused with Refined Gold, providing strong armor-piercing abilities. The core area of the mechanical trap is full of deadly traps; even if one survives by relying on powerful Life Force, they will be disintegrated by Space cracks akin to the ’Destruction Demon Sword’.

Two crystal pipelines, each several dozen meters long, connect to the rune engravings. They are the finishing touches of the final part, effectively solidifying an area as a ’Soul Capturing Array’.

"Grand scale!" Ugly Monkey raised his eyebrow and said.

Since this is the Inner Earth World within the womb of old days, most of the materials were conjured by Shawn using the ’True Creation Technique,’ burning a vast amount of Power of Soul in one go, even the Gods of Faith would weigh their actions carefully.

"Let’s test its effects." Shawn looked up and said.

Ugly Monkey quickly nodded and gently sliced open part of the Flesh and Blood wall. Accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground, Pillars of Flesh and Blood immediately advanced from the passage ahead. They adhere to a basic rule, not piercing through the Flesh and Blood walls, nor destroying the membrane of organs, but directly breaking through the nearby layers of rock.

The Space Law surrounding them was twisted to a certain degree. As the Pillars of Flesh and Blood approached, they were shrouded by the law of ’Twisted Reality,’ losing all senses, then entering Shawn’s stabilized Illusion Technique Array. Their massive bodies proceeded along the Flesh and Blood passage, directly entering the Other Dimension kill array of the mechanical trap.

Crunch!

The Anti-Gravity Rune was activated. Under the impact of tens of thousands of tons, the trapped Pillar of Flesh and Blood instantly became like a flattened worm, its head being directly severed. It had no time to employ damage-transferring Spell Abilities. At the same time, the nearby Soul Capturing Array began operating, with one of its gemstones automatically transforming into a high-quality Soul Crystal Stone.

"Tsk tsk!"

Ugly Monkey was stunned; he realized all his previous efforts over the past month or two were in vain. He had fought fiercely for so long, and Shawn resolved everything in a crunch of time.

Walking around the large mechanical trap, Ugly Monkey raised his head and said, "I’ve heard some things about the Ancient Heart Stealer Empire."

"It was rumored."

"Their vanguard fleet could, within just a few days, construct a Space Fortress on an uninhabited small planet!"

"I didn’t believe it before, but now I do."

Shawn continued modifying the large mechanical trap before him, creating a folded Space to minimize noise when the trap was triggered. Without looking up, he remarked, "Ancient Heart Stealer Empire?"

"I’m not quite sure."

"But indeed, given a little time, I could construct a forward fortress on an uninhabited planet."

——Time Extraction!

Shawn crushed the Time Law in his hand, spreading a silvery gel-like substance over some mechanical components. They directly ignore the law of Time, stabilizing within a static Time Stream.

——"Extraction Technique [Time Extraction] (4-ring Spiritual Energy): You can disassemble a small portion of Time to form a viscous gel, known as ’Essence.’ Observed from certain angles, this substance reflects light like a silver mirror, while from other angles, it appears completely transparent. You can apply a small blob of Essence onto any surface, such as a key, a ring, a seal, or a medal.

Items sealed within Essence do not experience the passage of Time, technically entering a static Space."

Shawn attempted to set up a static Time Trap here.

With a large concentration of ’Essence,’ theoretically, large items or structures can be preserved, with effects similar to the emperor’s Golden Toilet. Beings sealed inside are permanently fixed in a static Time Stream.

The Ancient Heart Stealer Empire used such Time Essence to ensure their Interstellar Battleships could traverse the River of Space-Time.

In specific circumstances.

These condensed materials of Time Laws can also freeze ’Biological,’ letting them remain still in Time Stream during turbulent Time, avoiding the aging of thousands of years in an instant.

Ugly Monkey touched the silver gel-like substance, his skin decomposing. The fragmented Time Stream has a certain disintegrating effect, roughly causing 1 point of damage every six seconds. Those able to remain static within best possess robust Regeneration and repair abilities.

Material Reshape!

Time Reshape!

Shawn’s Other Dimension mechanical kill array partially detaches from the Time Stream, meaning they won’t be disrupted by minor incidents affecting normal operations.

Ugly Monkey exclaimed in awe, "Now I understand why the natives invested so much effort into you!"

"If you had boundless Power of Soul."

"You might become the creator!"

Shawn shook his head expressionlessly, "Power of Soul alone isn’t enough; I also need an infinite Mana Pool, only then can I possibly approach the legendary creator."

Ugly Monkey hesitated briefly and softly stated, "My Lord also once carved out a realm within Chaos."

"If you encounter them again, perhaps you should seek some guidance from my Lord."

This was the first time Ugly Monkey proactively mentioned the Divine Spirit he served, that rumored Lord of Death.

Shawn pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "That Lord of Death, are they a God among Gods?"
