[Card Name: Overclock

Card Type: Skill Card

Card Rank: A-Rank, Rare Grade

Card Rating: ★★★★★

Durability: 92/100

Card Effect: If multiple time zones influence the card apprentice, their existence automatically aligns with the most advantageous or fastest-flowing time zone available.

Additional Effects:

i) Time Sense: Alerts the card apprentice to all time zones and temporal overlays within their surroundings.

ii) Accel Time: If the card apprentice channels Time Rule Power into the card, their personal time flow accelerates proportionally. However, upon contact with beings in the original timeline, they are forcibly returned to it.

iii) Time Slip: If a Card Apprentice channels Time Rule power into a card, the attack is displaced forward in time in proportion to the amount of Time Rule power supplied. However, such attacks cannot be physical in nature, and once they manifest in the future, the user has no control over them.

Note:

i) The card apprentice’s soul energy and rule power are treated as intrinsic components of their being.]

Not everyone who masters the time rule can accelerate or slow time unless they have comprehended the corresponding time rule meanings. Basic mastery in the time rule allows one to detect temporal disturbances, overlays, and enter and exit time zones as long as another powerful force isn’t stopping them.

The only exception to this was the time-rule-based cards. Among them, the ones created by Morningstar University were especially popular in the market. That was because the time-rule-based cards created by them didn’t require the card apprentice to supply time-rule power to the card to use them, and they also created their cards at low-rating allowing even low-ranking card apprentices to wield them. Their goal was to make time-rule-based cards accessible to all card apprentices regardless of their realms.

This problem was true for the Field Marshal too. Though she managed to comprehend time rule to a certain degree, she failed to comprehend any time-rule meaning that would help her slow or accelerate time. Still, it was enough for her to create her mystic dimension, where spacetime followed rules of her own. It wasn’t that exaggerated, but enough to render a seasoned time-rule user incapable of using time rule here.

As a result, the Emissary of Light couldn’t display his profound comprehension of the time rule here. When he encountered the horrifying attack speed of a Martial Sage, he thought he had become slow, when in reality, the Field Marshal was simply that fast.

However, that wasn’t her fastest. The second time she used the concentrated soul energy slash, empowered by celestial force and shaped by martial intent, she used her Overclock card’s time slip ability to send a thousand such slashes into the future, while the Emissary of Light saw only one.

She chose this basic slash from her arsenal of powerful martial arts because her mastery of this particular martial arts had reached the limit of the Sage level, even when she used it along with celestial force. The blending of soul energy, celestial force, and martial intent wasn’t easy; after all, celestial force was an external power, and her mastery over it was good at best. So, rather than using complex martial arts, she stuck to the basics.

The Field Marshal circled the Emissary of Light as he defended against her thousand cuts. Her starry eyes shimmered as she observed him, trying to find his divinity. It was impossible for it to hide from her eyes, but the problem was that the Emissary of Light had multiple divinities in his body, and each one looked as if it were the original divinity.

She didn’t question it, because she knew that with his origin card, anything was possible. What she was worried about was whether all of these were actually his real divinity. If they were, did he keep some outside as a last resort? That meant that killing him would be like helping him escape. She would rather impale and imprison him in her mystic domain.

Her starry eyes could see what others could not, but interpreting what she saw was entirely up to her. Right now, she saw multiple identical divinities within the Emissary of Light. Her knowledge told her that it was physically impossible, and it could only be possible if the Emissary of Light had used his origin card.

However, she believed that it would cost a lot of faith for the Emissary of Light to make something that went against nature possible. So, except for one, the others had to be flawless replicas.

She wanted to finish him in one shot because if the Emissary of Light realized she planned to crush his divinity with celestial force, he would become desperate and not hesitate to use his reserve of faith energy wildly to survive.

Her starry eyes monitored every divinity in the Emissary of Light’s body and their energy signature as he used his soul energy and rule power. However, to her shock all displayed identical soul energy signature to the dot.

Shaking her head the Field Marshal fixed her gaze at the Emissary of Light planning to reduce him to ash instead of wasting time trying to determine which of his divinities was true one.

Then she began to use the time slip ability of the overclock card to lay traps around the mystic dimension. This was her domain, it moved at her whim. She planned to use her martial prowess and field advantage to finish the Emissary of Light rather than play it safe like her niece and young lord advised her to.

She believed the longer this stretched on, the worse it would become for her, even though this was her domain. That was the horror of the Emissary of Light. Also, the Emissary of Light was deliberately dragging out his defense; she could sense that he had already gotten used to those slashes and should have dealt with them by now, but instead, he was taking his time. He too, like her, was gauging her and the situation. The only difference was that he wanted to escape her mystic dimension—killing her would be a bonus—while she wanted to kill him, but not at the risk of her life, as she had promised her young lord not to be a reckless martyr.
