Uchiha Yue... this fellow countryman... no, this monster... this monster has begun to adapt to the power of time!
It was a breakthrough from nothing to something. Before that, Uchiha Yue was absolutely unable to resist the power of time. Every time the cycle ended, whether it was the death of the world or the general extinction, everything returned to its beginning.
But now everything has changed. This monster has adapted!
Uchiha Yue has stopped succumbing to the effects of time rollback!
After the rollback of time, his power remained.
The remaining power was negligible: she only painted the sky in dark tones, leaving behind a barely noticeable gloom, and it would seem that there was nothing special about it... the hell with it!
Where there's one, there's two. Previously, Uchiha Yue could not even think of resisting the power of time.
And now, after the rollback, part of its power is already ignoring this process. What will happen in the future?
Will the day really come when Uchiha Yue will completely stop obeying the power of time reversal?
No matter how many times time rolls back, only this world, only them, will suffer. And Uchiha Yue... it won't affect him in any way. His strength will not decrease, on the contrary, it will only grow infinitely over time.
As long as Uchiha Yue was susceptible to kickbacks, no matter how powerful he was, he remained just an NPC who could be defeated, sooner or later killed. His time seemed to be flowing, but in fact it was standing still.
Over time, Quan's strength would grow and eventually surpass Yue's, which would allow him to be defeated. But now what?
The power of time no longer affects Uchiha Yue. Yes, Quan's power will continue to grow, but compared to Yue, it will be too slow.
It's all over now!
Uchiha Quan swallowed. Alarm and horror were reflected on his face. He was not stupid and understood perfectly well: Uchiha Yue was able to adapt to the power of time only thanks to him, thanks to kickbacks. This monster, like a cockroach, has gone from being completely helpless before time returns to gradually adapting.
What if Uchiha Yue becomes completely immune to the power of time in the future?
A chilling chill ran down his spine. He had already imagined this future.
Darkness envelops the world, dead silence, cold and emptiness reign. All living things are dying, and he is among the dead.
After his death, time rolls back to the present moment, to this very point. However, a new cycle, a new search for salvation, a new search for peace — all this is ending!
At the moment of rebirth, he will be greeted by the same dead silence and darkness that enveloped the world and was completely unaffected by the passage of time. Great, the respawn point is blocked. He was reborn, and then he died. He died and was reborn again. Reborn, and died again. An endless cycle of despair.
The whole world will reboot because of his deaths, the time of this world will stop, and Uchiha Yue will continue to move forward. That's when true despair will come.
It looks like I'll have to treasure my life and not use the power of cycles mindlessly! Constant repetition does not deter Uchiha Yue, but helps him!
Uchiha Quan sighed. It's easy to say, but it's... much harder to do.
Didn't he value his life?
Did he really want to die?
Except for the very first cycles, has he ever died of his own stupidity?
Each time, it was because time was running out and new hope had not been found. Uchiha Yue tore apart space, the darkness spread, and Quan died. He had no choice. He valued his life as much as he could. Thanks to Sharingan and the status of a seer, even Ootsutsuki Isshiki didn't dare to attack him openly — he had a kind of immunity!
It wasn't that he wanted to die, but that it was impossible to survive, and the cycle was the only way out.
His plan has to change too. Before he realized that Uchiha Yue had begun to adapt to the rollbacks of time, he still hoped that he would be able, as a fellow countryman, to persuade him to stop. Now that thought is gone.
Since Uchiha Yue has started to adapt to kickbacks, what about his memory?
It probably doesn't wear off anymore either. Even if he does not receive all the memories from the future, but only fragments, this is enough to understand that among the creatures he destroyed were fellow countrymen and other hitmen.
If Uchiha Yue had really treated people like him well, he wouldn't have destroyed this world!
However, he did it. He destroyed it without hesitation, not caring at all about the consequences of the time rollback.
Damn it, this thing... is he using me as a bag of experience? It kills me over and over again in order to survive the cycles and eventually fully adapt to the power of time!
This is quite possible!
Moreover, the more Uchiha Quan thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true. In Uchiha Yue's eyes, he, the so-called countryman, was not a countryman at all, but a source of experience that could be "farmed" to increase resistance to time.
Can a creature that can easily destroy all life on the planet be kind? Can it respect life?
The so-called hitman in the eyes of this monster is probably no different from the locals!
However, not everything is so clear. Maybe Uchiha Yue wasn't deliberately aiming at me. In all previous cycles, he has not shown such strength.
Perhaps he has just started to really adapt to the power of time and has only now found out about my existence! Maybe he won't touch my world in this cycle!
Uchiha Quan pondered, considering this option to be possible.
In the end, he shook his head. Anyway, the search for a new world is the right way. At least for now, while Uchiha Yue has not yet gained full immunity to the power of time, he has hope, there is a chance. If in the coming cycles he manages to find a new world and a way to contain Yue, he will be able to temporarily get rid of this threat.
He immediately set to work, discarding the wrong options and continuing to search for new parallel worlds.
As time passed, Uchiha Quan finally realized that his second guess was wrong. Uchiha Yue regained his memory, found out about his existence, but he didn't care!
The boundless darkness engulfed the entire world, devouring everything in its path. Dead silence and freezing cold reigned again. Everything has come to an end!
Time has rolled back again!
Uchiha Quan…
