Chapter 91: Godspeed
A flash of golden light appeared momentarily in front of the grand gates of Silver Dusk Palace. The light was blinding, but it vanished as quickly as it came, leaving behind a pale-faced young man leaning against the wall.
"Hah... Hah... Hah..."
Ren panted heavily, his hands supporting his body. A wave of nausea surged in his stomach, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
"So this is what it feels like to use Godspeed for five minutes? The side effects aren't as bad as what Alec and Godou experienced... but still... Ugh..."
It took a few moments for the nausea to subside, giving Ren time to regain his composure and stand tall again. He let out a long sigh, wiping his face with his right hand.
"Phew~ I guess I underestimated Godspeed. It's not as bad as I thought." He muttered with a faint smile, though cold sweat still trickled down his forehead.
Ren's perception of Godspeed had completely shifted after trying it himself. Before, he only thought of it as an ability to move at incredible physical speed—superhuman agility. But the reality was far more complex.
In truth, Godspeed wasn't about moving fast; it was about shortening the duration of travel. Instead of traveling from Point A to Point B at hundreds of kilometers per hour, it was the ability to traverse that distance in mere fractions of a second. Rather than accelerating physically, it distorted the passage of time required for movement.
Ren's body, senses, and thought processes all accelerated simultaneously, causing the world around him to slow down. Leaves and wooden debris blown by the wind, along with raindrops, all appeared to move in slow motion from his perspective. Everything moved as if played back in slow-motion footage, while he could dart around like lightning.
"When using Godspeed, I can perform movements that are physically impossible for a normal human. Regular running is bound by two-dimensional space." Ren smiled faintly, recalling how smoothly he maneuvered during Godspeed.
He thought back to Godou's Raptor Incarnation.
