Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"This……"

Zhou Ning stood outside the half-open bronze door, peering inward. He was inexplicably horrified by the scene before him. He saw an extremely dense darkness filling the interior, even slowly pouring outward. This also made Zhou Ning give up the idea of ​​entering the bronze door to explore.

The spirit is frantically warning me that once I enter it, I will probably go crazy and lose control in an instant.

The fact was just as he had guessed. There was indeed a bronze gate in the deepest part of the Temple of Death. However, what Zhou Ning had not expected was that this bronze gate was actually open. The powerful unknown entity behind the gate might have escaped. And it was very likely that someone had let it go.

Considering that the elven goddess is imprisoned in the underground ruins of Nathaniel, could the god of death who is about to return be imprisoned in this door?

This is terrifying. Considering the bronze gates of the ancient city of Waters, the gods preparing to return one after another. Add to that the potentially corrupted Sun Goddess, the impending singularity of fate in four years, and all the unexpected circumstances, the apocalyptic world is truly filled with disasters.

1457 is currently recognized as the singularity of destiny, but considering the name of the new version: Echoes of Doom, according to the current situation, it is very likely that the singularity of destiny is equivalent to the end of the world.

Zhou Ning frowned slightly. Of course, he couldn't just treat "Apocalypse" as a game at this moment, but his position as the King of Angels was obviously not enough to get involved in this matter in depth.

Whether it is the God of Creation who is in the long river of time and space, the existence behind the bronze gate, or the gods who are returning through various channels, it is an unbearable burden for an Angel King.

If I hadn't had the cheats, I would have been dead long ago. Now, I can only rely on the Advent Card to compete with the gods.

But this is not a long-term solution. I must do everything possible to achieve godhood as soon as possible!

After six or seven seconds of quiet contemplation, Zhou Ning steadily extended his right hand and reached into the void, seizing a mirror inscribed with numerous inscriptions. He used the power of World Beyond Heaven to materialize a true vision.

As mentioned before, the so-called True Vision is actually an alchemical mirror, a disposable consumable item that can only rewind a scene within one to two days. Only Grandmaster-level alchemists can create it, and its production is extremely low, essentially circulating only in the hands of official organizations in various countries. However, due to its low level, it doesn't consume much energy.

A thin layer of mist appeared in the mirror, facing the bronze gate.

About 10 minutes later, Zhou Ning saw what he wanted to see.

It was a video from about a day ago, right after he'd defeated the Life Spirit Goddess in the final battle. A man wearing a black hat with white fur, a burgundy patterned shirt, a black windbreaker, and white trousers, with a massive black knife stuck in his back, arrived. It was Hawkeye! (Note: The previous final battle was edited, and Hawkeye didn't appear. He's been moved here.)

When he arrived here, there was a sudden burst of banging sounds coming from inside the door, which was more intense than ever before.

Then, Hawkeye smiled and stretched out his hands to push open the door.

The next second, a black mist gushed out wildly, accompanied by bursts of heavy gasps.

Then, a massive, gray-green shadow appeared from the half-open bronze door, emitting a strong divine aura. It was also a powerful divine creature!

He seemed to realize that someone was spying on him, and slowly turned his head towards Zhou Ning. He looked at Zhou Ning briefly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a crazy smile.

The next second, Zhou Ning's vision shattered, sending the entire dark hall reeling. At the same moment, two bronze doors snapped open, sending a terrifying suction force emanating from within. Zhou Ning stumbled involuntarily as he was sucked toward the bronze doors ahead.

This……

Zhou Ning couldn't help but startle slightly. The other party seemed to have attacked him in a rather abstract way. Because the darkness here was so thick and dense, even the space was in a semi-solid state, making it impossible to teleport.

But the more critical the moment, the calmer Zhou Ning's heart became. A golden clock suddenly appeared in his hand, emitting an incomparably clear light. Infusing it with divinity, he chose to reverse time.

Clock of Light

Item Level: Quasi-Artifact

Effect 1: Pressing the spring allows you to rewind, pause, or fast-forward two seconds at a time. This cannot be used continuously.

Effect 2: This item possesses holy light spells of the Angel King level, such as "Guardian of the Sun Goddess", "Holy Light Punishment", and "Summoning Light Man".

Effect 3: It will make the bearer immune to shadow spells and full of courage. No longer be afraid.

Negative effect 1: This item has living characteristics. It will occasionally oppose the owner's orders, fast-forwarding time when it should be reversed, and fast-forwarding time when it should be paused.

Negative effect 2: The carrier will be prohibited from using all evil and strange magic, and this prohibition is absolutely mandatory.

Negative effect three: The holder will occasionally experience forgetfulness.

Yes, this item had a negative effect. It would occasionally disobey its owner's orders, fast-forwarding time when it should have been reversed, and fast-forwarding it when it should have been paused. If his attempt to rewind time was denied and fast-forwarded, he would inevitably be sucked into the bronze gate, facing an unpredictable end.

The seconds on the clock of light quietly lit up, stained with a blazing white flame, and began to scroll backwards. Time went back to the moment when the shadow and Zhou Ning locked eyes.

Zhou Ning ran backwards without turning his head, and at this time he grabbed the Dimensional Matrix Shangri-La and marked the landing point at the stairs.

The next second, a terrifying suction force surged from behind him, sucking the transparent shadows and resentful spirits that were frantically rushing towards Zhou Ning into the area behind the bronze door. As a burst of purple light descended, Zhou Ning had already dangerously run down the stairs. The terrifying suction force then disappeared, and the solidified space and time began to flow again.

Standing at the stairs, Zhou Ning took off his hat, put it against his chest, bowed slightly to the black shadow, and then activated the authority of [Border Crosser] without hesitation and returned directly to Nathaniel.

Sitting cross-legged in his room, Zhou Ning couldn't help but let out a breath: "I'm just an Angel King! Why do I have to face so many powerful enemies?"

While the scene just now seemed relatively pleasant on the surface, the level of danger was undoubtedly extremely high. If it weren't for the Clock of Light's protection, he might have been sucked into the bronze door. Zhou Ning seriously suspected that the black shadow possessed an authority similar to that of time, but the actual way it was displayed was extremely strange.

It seems that I need to talk to the other two major churches. After all, saving the world is not a task for me alone.

After a short rest, Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It just pointed to 10 a.m. He sorted out his inventory and personal store, and chose to teleport to the Starry Sky Cathedral.
