With a dull but inexplicably crisp knock, Sherlock felt that the whole world had stopped.
This is not a metaphor or an exaggeration. As the holder of the "Time Stone", he can clearly feel that everything around him has come to a standstill, as if someone pressed the pause button on a movie, and then everything in sight...
They all seem to have lost their sense of three-dimensionality, turning from 3D to a flat surface.
If he hadn't also fallen into stasis, with only his consciousness still active and unable to turn his eyes or move, Sherlock would have definitely looked around and done some experiments on time.
Although there is no direct evidence, Sherlock is very convinced that in addition to "pausing", Bai Xing who "presses pause" can easily perform "fast forward", "rewind", "embedding" and "erase" on this "movie".
Delete" and other operations.
Time feels continuous, but at the same time it is composed of "slices". Ordinary people cannot discover this fact, just like movie theater audiences rarely know that what they are watching is just switching very quickly - at least 24 pictures per second.
——The freeze frame is the same.
For Sherlock, this feeling is very familiar, it is exactly the same as when he fell out of the gap in the "World Slice" during the "Preliminary Tournament" held at Hogwarts.
Compared to me who was acting recklessly back then, now that the Demon God of the Sea Shirahoshi is personally operating it, he shouldn't fall out...probably.
Huh? Wait, how long will this pause last? Because of the time stone, I have been keeping my mind active. It's okay to just leave him here for ten days and a half, but if it lasts until the time of this competition
The upper limit is 1800 days, which is enough even if you don’t become a madman.
But fortunately, Shirahoshi, who is the demon god of the universe, obviously would not make such a mistake. Shortly after "the world stopped", Sherlock, who was still thinking wildly, felt that everything around him was shaking, and then the entire Ryugu City "flyed"
stand up.
In the process of "flying" upward, the palace, the columns, the chandeliers, the tables and chairs, everything in Sherlock's eyes began to collapse, shatter, dissipate, and turned into nothingness. In the end, only a huge piece was left under his feet, which looked like
It is a rough "foundation" made of rock material. It is suspended in the dark and empty background. On it are scattered all the contestants of Hogwarts and their younger brothers and sisters - they all maintain their houses and
All kinds of strange postures after the furniture disappears.
This shouldn't really be the demolition of Mermaid Island, it's just a form of transformation from fiction to reality, probably.
And... you won’t take your younger brothers and sisters to travel to Asgard, right? According to previous reasoning, this experience should be just a wonderful dream for them.
As if in response to Sherlock's guess, the appearance of the summoned "younger brothers and sisters" began to become as gray as the previous background, and then fragmented and disappeared one by one. In the end, the only two left behind were the ones brought out by Atreus.
of "Claude" and "Lily".
This is not surprising, after all, those two have no body to return to... Hiss!
While Sherlock was still thinking, he saw the "white star" and the shark in front of him also shattered and disappeared.
Before he could react to this unusual situation, the next second, a blue light like water waves began to appear in the background of the surrounding picture. This blue light quickly dispelled the surrounding darkness, revealing a
The "white star" is extremely huge and is swimming upwards holding this "foundation" in both hands.
Ah... that's right... Sherlock was a little confused when he met "White Star" in Dragon Palace City before. Although the "White Star" was huge enough, he was the "Lord of the Ocean Dimension" whom Sherlock had met several times.
"The gap is not small. After all, he has a body that can use the Galaxy Train as a hairpin and blow Noah away as a paper airplane.
At this time, the super giant "White Star" slowly stopped its "upstream" movement, turned its eyes and began to scan the "rock foundation" in its hand. Before Sherlock could figure out what she was doing, he saw "White Star" approaching
The foundation was raised high, filling a strange "gap" directly above her that was emitting a pale white light.
call--
The surrounding environment was completely changed when the "foundation" was filled in the "gap".
The surrounding darkness was instantly replaced by boundless blue, and the "rock foundation" rose from the blue seabed to the surface without causing any impact on the water.
In front of Sherlock's eyes, there is "Noah" floating on the endless but completely still blue sea, and on the deck of the giant ship, he is lying on the deck chair under the parasol as leisurely as if on vacation.
Who are these players participating in the second schedule?
So, while "consciousness" and "incarnation" are commanding armies in the "Underwater Kingdom", the "body" is lying on the "tourist boat" for vacation?
It seems that everyone has really gone on a "treasure hunt under the sea", but this "sea" is different from the conventional one. Perhaps it should be called the "Sea of Consciousness" or the "Sea of Souls".
After realizing this, Sherlock found that his experience on the "ocean planet" suddenly began to "fade" at an extremely fast speed. Everything that happened there seemed to be like reading a purely text book.
The description of the scene is illusory and unreal. I only know roughly what I have done and what results I have achieved, but when I want to trace the details, it is a blur.
To put it more appropriately... it was like a dream.
At this time, the originally sleeping contestants on Noah's Ark broke the stop of time and began to make small movements one by one, as if they were about to wake up, and each contestant on the "Boulder Foundation" appeared to wake up "himself"
After signs, they turned into streams of light that penetrated the curtain and returned to their own bodies.
For these players, the two things "Shirahoshi announces the end of the game" and "waking up" should be close together. Only they, because they have the time stone, saw Shirahoshi's operations in this process, and had to make more out of thin air.
Such a meaningless transition.
Sherlock sighed silently while watching his companions "return to their original bodies" one by one. Although there was no reason, he could clearly feel that if he wanted to "return", he only needed to use the power of "wanting to wake up from a dream"
That’s it.
There is a saying that if it is a cold winter, this power may be very strong.
Then go back now——
Snapped.
When Sherlock was staring at "his body" and trying to "wake up", someone tapped him on the shoulder.
