Chapter 1593: Chapter 619: Time Kills

Others were still merely shocked by the phenomenon of Gary Zach’s reversal of aging, but Yan Fei was different, because he realized he had made a critical mistake.

Yan Fei had always assumed that destiny’s ability was to control space, so all of his plans focused on restricting destiny’s space ability. However, the transformations happening to Gary Zach revealed that destiny actually wielded the power of time. While destiny might also possess the power of space, his control over the power of time was now undeniably confirmed.

Yan Fei had previously conducted deductions in the technology extrapolation system. In all those simulations, destiny only controlled the power of space, and Yan Fei was even able to confine him in those instances. That’s why he believed there was a single opportunity to eliminate destiny. Although he had already lost connection to the Universal Space and Dreamland Cave World, he was convinced that as long as he could get near destiny and activate the space equipment to restrict destiny’s space ability, he would reestablish contact with the Universal Space and Dreamland Cave World, allowing him to implement his prior battle plan.

But after discovering that the intelligence was wrong and that destiny possessed the power of time, Yan Fei knew he had no chance of defeating destiny. All his prior arrangements were rendered useless, incapable of any impact. He felt a wave of despair because, despite the meticulous preparations he’d made for the confrontation, his lack of strength meant he was doomed to fail in his fight against destiny...

Destiny looked at the rejuvenated Gary Zach and said, "Gary Zach, I have returned your lifespan and youth to you. You must be very delighted now, right?"

Gary Zach responded joyfully, "Thank you! I’ve regained my youth and recovered my lifespan. I’m truly happy."

Destiny said indifferently, "Since that’s the case, let us settle another matter. You’ve cursed me in your heart countless times before—what kind of price do you think you should pay for that?"

Gary Zach froze and then bent down, saying, "I’m sorry. I apologize to you sincerely for my curses."

Destiny replied, "This level of apology is far from sufficient. If we let your insults slide, who will respect me in the future? Where will my dignity be?"

Gary Zach spread his hands and said, "I’ve already apologized. If you’re not satisfied, I have no alternative."

Destiny said, "Since you can’t think of a solution, let me come up with one for you. Hmm... your previous wish was to remain youthful forever. I’ll grant your wish and let you stay eternally youthful!"

Gary Zach froze for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Thank you! Thank you!"

For someone who’d experienced the decline of an aging body, a youthful and healthy physique was a dream come true. Moreover, the ability to perpetually maintain such vitality was an unparalleled joy. Gary Zach didn’t fully understand who destiny was, but since destiny had helped him reverse aging, he firmly believed destiny could grant his wish for eternal youth.

Destiny said, "As you wish."

Destiny flicked a finger, and a strange ripple emerged, enveloping Gary Zach completely. The needle on the enormous golden dial behind him abruptly froze, and in the next moment, Gary Zach stood still, maintaining the same posture as before. Even if someone waved their hand in front of his eyes, he showed no reaction—not even a blink.

Looking at the motionless Gary Zach, a foreboding feeling surged in Yan Fei’s heart. He demanded, "Destiny, what have you done to him?"

Destiny replied, "I’ve fulfilled his wish, freezing the time within him completely. From this moment onward, he will remain in this youthful state forever..."

Everyone felt a chilling dread as they realized that Gary Zach’s wish had indeed been granted, though in a way he would never willingly accept. Being trapped in a state where time was entirely halted meant everything in this world no longer mattered to him. How was this any different from death?

A collective sense of danger stirred within the crowd, for destiny was terrifying beyond comprehension. Not only could he reverse the flow of time, but he could also permanently suspend someone’s time. If anyone tried to face destiny in combat, he could simply manipulate the flow or halt the time within them, reducing them to the same immobilized state as Gary Zach. They would become entirely powerless against destiny’s will, mere tools at his mercy. No matter how strong their strength might be, it wouldn’t save them from the tragic outcome of death. Even if destiny spared their lives, leaving them frozen forever would still be a fate of unbearable misery...

Suddenly, Yan Fei said, "Destiny, since the very first time you met me, you’ve been misleading me, making me think your power was the control over space. But in truth, you don’t possess space-controlling abilities. Your true power lies in the control of time. Just now, when you captured Gary Zach, you didn’t use the power of space at all. Instead, you stopped time across the entire world, then personally traveled to the US Military Base and brought Gary Zach, who was dining at the base, back here. Because the time around us was halted, we had no way of realizing that during that period, you actually traveled back and forth between the African continent and the North American continent. That’s why we falsely assumed you were using the power of space."

Destiny looked at Yan Fei and uttered words of praise, "As expected of my pawn, you managed to analyze how I captured him. That’s right—the incredible abilities you’ve witnessed were all accomplished through my control over time. The so-called powers of ’erasure’ and ’worlds apart’ appeared to be space-based abilities, but their essence was rooted in time manipulation achieved through temporal suspension. By mastering time, I am an undisputed god. No one in this world can rival me."
