Chapter 403: Army Of Time
Chapter 403: Army Of Time
"They seem to have already gone up."
Zeref commented as he recognizes the seven-colored pillar of light breaking through the sky, rushing through space.
"We should get on it as well."
Sleipnir's voice rang out with Zeref nodding his head while Tang Wulin only glanced at the seven-colored pillar before he shifted his gaze forward.
For them to enter the realm of where the Arkadian was, they would need to cross through a time boundary.
Unlike the Abyssal Realm or the Mortuus Plane which was in a higher-dimensional plane that resided in the 4-dimensional spaces.
The Arkadian Plane was a realm that was wrapped in time fragments, which would age a person by millions of years.
If they tried to forcibly get past it, requiring one to either destroy the fragments or take control of some of those fragments.
To open up a path to pass through, which was the path that Raaul and the Sage King did for their invasion on the plane.
"You said that they were like a hive-mind right?"
Zeref asked Tang Wulin as he began going over what they will be facing in the Arkadian Realm.
"In the simplest way, they can be considered like that."
Tang Wulin replied towards Zeref, as the Arkadians were all connected. Each of them sharing a link or a connection between each other that allows them to share their memories and experience.
But being able to share their memories wasn't what made them so terrifying. It was this and the ability to see into the future.
With their future seeing ability that all of them had, the Arkadians would have a squad or legion of their races who would focus on. Perceiving the future and parallel worlds before they would then share those memories with the Arkadians fighting.
This was how they could instantly communicate with each other, allowing the soldiers to know what to expect from their enemies.
Since their commander doesn't need to relay any orders, they could just send memories to each other.
And they gained this ability from their plane being born in the River of Time, something he found out only later. This was the reason why his mind was struck with an infinite number of memories that came from the past, present, and future. of various worlds
With the Arkadians plane being in from the Rivers of Time and their future seeing ability, he knew only he could invade this plane.
If the others tried, they would most likely face defeat because the advantage the Arkadians have is just too great.
In the next moment, Tang Wulin thrust out his hand which began to send out ripples that started to warp the space in front.
These ripples didn't spread far, only going about a meter out before they started to twist and turn, forming into a vortex. The vortex was silver-colored, with the presence and feeling of time fragments and elements.
"Let's go."
With those words, Tang Wulin stepped into the vortex, his figure fading away and the vortex gradually closing on its own.

It took a bit before Tang Wulin found himself in front of another vortex that was connected to the Arkadian Plane.
Without even spreading out his divine sense, he could feel the shocking amount of temporal power in front of him. The number of time fragments that were spinning around was simply too striking, something not even those other two Semi-Divine Planes contained.
"I have to admit, they outdid themself on this." Yggdrasil's voice rang out as even she was surprised by the amount of time that was swirling in front.
This also furthers backup Tang Wulin's claim that the Arkadian Plane came from the Rivers of Time. As there was no way, it could contain this much time without it being a God Realm.
Tang Wulin didn't hesitate, eyes glowing with a crimson-light while turning sunken. With a thrust out of his palm, a long murky wave of pitch-blackness appeared, blasting forward like a vast raging river.
The wave was ferocious and relentless, surging forward like a flowing stream yet lacking the sound of one. Instead, a deathly silence seemed to cause the natural elements themselves to shiver in fright.
As the flowing water was filled with the power to eradicate all beings. The flowering water reached the swirling vortex of time before it crashed right into.
The immense time fragments clashed with the tumbling waves, both energies trying to suppress the other. But the river of death was deadly, violently wearing down and devouring the swirling vortex of time fragment.
In the next moment, the vortex was covered in a pitch-black aura that began to distort and blur the space around the time-vortex.
Before it began annihilating the swirling time vortex trapped inside, reducing them to eternal oblivion and without a single lingering trace of their existence.
The rivers continued going, obliterating the vortex of time and the entrance into the Arkadians world.
Which led to a piece of the Arkadian sky being shattered, with the pieces falling to the ground.
While Tang Wulin casually wandered inside of the world as if he was taking a stroll.
Like shattered glass, the part of the Arkadian sky was falling to the ground with Tang Wulin appearing out of it. The shards themselves fell to the ground, crashing into some of the buildings that had already collapsed.
As most of the Arkadian world was scorched black with nine-colored arcs flashing in and out on some of the buildings below.
While this was going on, Tang Wulin was casually strolling towards the main building down at the center of the world.
But it was then the area in front and around him instantly became filled with a massive number of swirling vortices. The number of vortices there had surpassed a million, all of them appearing around Tang Wulin while glowing with energy.
Yet Tang Wulin continued walking forward casually as if he didn't notice the swirling vortexes around him.
In the next moment, all of them unleashed a fierce onslaught of beams. That pierced towards Tang Wulin, all wishing to consume him. The whole sky was brilliantly illuminated as silver-light, all of the beams reaching Tang Wulin.
But Tang Wulin showed no signs of worry and simply began to inhale. Instantly, the beams that just reached him trembled and twisted before they all began to be devoured by Tang Wulin.
More and more beams of time were being devoured by Tang Wulin as they got close to him. It reached the point where he was devouring a hundred thousand beams made out of time at once as he continued moving.
This continued for a bit before the brilliant beams were all devoured with Tang Wulin still walking forward.
But it was then Tang Wulin nose twitch as he smelled an unusual odor before he felt the sky shaking and rumbling. Before it was filled with countless beasts roars with the roars getting louder and louder as the second past.
"Those are... Time Beasts! How the heck did they even get those!"
"Hm? You know what those beasts are?"
"Yeah, they are beasts that reside in the Rivers of Time, formed by the fragments of history."
"Shouldn't that answer your question? The Arkadians are from the River of Time so-"
"I know but these beasts can't be tamed, as the River Of Time wouldn't allow that."
"Why is that?"
Zeref asked Yggdrasil as he appeared next to Tang Wulin while ignoring the tide of beasts that were rushing onward.
"These beasts are used by the River Of Time to help them keep the flow of time in check. Because of this, the river wouldn't allow for the Arkadians to take them away."
"So how?"
"They most likely opened up a portal and the Time Beasts sensed the time fluctuation inside of me alongside the fragrance in the air."
Tang Wulin spoke up causing Zeref to blink in surprise while Yggdrasil's eyes narrowed. But Yggdrasil didn't have the chance to speak as the Time Beasts were close to reaching Tang Wulin.
Looking at the beasts in front, he saw they didn't really have a physical form. As their figure looked ethereal, with swirling fragments of time around them but their shape was similar to that of those soul beasts.
An army of them was charging towards him from the front, too many for him to tell from a glance. But he figured those Arkadians brought over 100,000 of them.
But Tang Wulin didn't waste a single moment, his next step produced a golden-green ripple through the sky. Before countless multi-colored and golden-green vines that were glowing with a pink light burst out of his body.
Every inch of his body seems to be producing vines that all began to change, forming into tens of thousands of long spears, swords, axes, etc.
The whole area around Tang Wulin started to be filled with weapons made out of vines. All of them shining, shimmering, and sparkling from the energy surging around them.
As if the area itself became a world of endless weapons.
The weapons made out of vines rumbled, releasing endless streaks of dazzling light before they all hacked towards Fafnir.
'Magic Devil Divine Armory.'
An untold number of weapons began to interweave with each other, turning and forming into a killing array. Each of them began to tremble, even more, their features started to become defined and sharper as the rosy light flowed through them.
Each one of them was looking like an unparalleled masterpiece, peerless weapons that were made by the gods themselves.
Before these, weapons turned scarlet-red with a bit of pitch-black appearing on them. All of the weapons started to gain scales that were crimson-red but gave off the presence of death itself.
The aura of the Asura, Golden Dragon King, and Death was surging within these weapons. The thick killing and death intent rose to the sky with the urge to unleash a brutal massacre throughout the world!
They all rose high into the sky, with enough of them to obscure the sky itself while all pointing towards the rushing beast.
Then the weapons descended.
'Kill!'
They all pierced through the sky, terrifying beyond compare, hacking down on the rushing army of Time beasts. The tens of thousands of weapons flash as they turn into thousands to tens of thousands of streaks before crashing into the beast tide.
A tide that began to die.
It punctured and hacked upon them in number beyond continuing, beyond numbering, as if there was a limitless rain of weapons. Axes hacking through the skulls, swords puncturing through necks, spears lodging themselves in chests.
Arrows piercing through the beast's eyes, the rain of weapons was decimating the time beast tide. Numbers against this array of weapons meant nothing, as it continued to slaughter the time beasts like they were chickens.
Even as the Time Beasts unleashed a relentless stream of time fragments that began to turn the weapons into dust. Another set of weapons took its place, leading to the Time Beasts being slaughtered even with their numbers and strength.
It wasn't long before all of the Time Beasts had been mercilessly slaughtered, all of them turning into wisps of time. That began returning to the Rivers of Time, as their existence was tied to it and so they couldn't be permanently killed.
After killing those Time Beasts, Tang Wulin's hands began to turn illusionary as the aura of death began to spread out from it.
With a thrust of his hand, a mass of blackness began to appear in front of him. Before it started to move forward like a flowing stream with everything it touches turning into nothing.
The mass of blackness was not destroying but simply erasing and bringing everything to their end.
But as if that wasn't the end, the mass of blackness started to multiply, turning from one relentless stream.
Into over a thousand as Tang Wulin applies his thousand-finger condemn technique to increase the numbers attack.
It continued onward towards the building that was in front, crashing into the barrier of time that instantly appeared. But just like those vortexes of time before, they were devoured and erased from the area.
The mass of blackness continued onward, breaking through the buildings, all of them destroying various parts of the building.
While Tang Wulin stepped inside as he saw a long corridor in front of him. It was then a voice rang out through the whole corridor.
"We knew you would come... And so we waited until you arrived so we can erase you from this world."
"Oh, erase me you say? Confident are we."
"Not confidence simply a truth that we will make come true... Dive deeper into your death-trap young one..."
"My pleasure."
Tang Wulin commented as he moved forward. With a step that shattered the area around him, as he moved deeper inside of the corridor.
