Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

As Diablo continued to probe, he soon figured out Mo Yan's attack pattern, but...

"Strange, after fighting this guy so many times, why do I always feel a sense of disharmony?"

With the touch of another confrontation, Diablo felt more and more uncomfortable, until he saw black smoke gradually coming out of his gauntlet.

"The power is disintegrating? How could this be? Even though the shadow element is very tricky, it can't have this effect, unless..."

Suddenly, Mo Yan swung his sword again, and this time the collision between the weapons weakened his strength again.

"This feeling... could it be that sword? Could the power within it be the power of order..."

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is. You knew it a long time ago, right? That's why you felt confident in letting them be my opponents." He looked at Rednos and smiled, but Rednos remained silent.

"We can't stay here any longer. If we delay any further, something bad will definitely happen."

A subtle flash of fear flashed across Diablo's eyes. He exerted force to push Mo Yan away, quickly retreating backwards while his hands quickly drew a mysterious rune in front of him.

"Forget it, I don't have time to waste here with you, so please stay here from now on!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed forward, and in an instant the gravity of space suddenly sank, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on everyone's heart.

Mo Yan, Kailin, Zhao Heng, and Zixuan froze in their tracks, their bodies bending uncontrollably downward. Their bones creaked under the weight, and even breathing became extremely difficult. Kailin tried to raise her gun, but her arm felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

"How could this be... My body suddenly feels so heavy..." she said with difficulty.

Diablo smiled softly, with the arrogance of someone in control. The next second, a huge pendulum appeared behind him. "Goodbye everyone. I hope we can meet again in the near future."

Before he could finish his words, the shadowy pendulum suddenly accelerated its swing, emitting a low, distant hum. The surrounding space violently distorted, the light being stretched into grotesque streaks. The scene in the laboratory began to blur and dissolve, like the reflection of a stone dropped into water.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Mo Yan tried to swing his sword forward under the terrifying pressure, but every step was like wading through a sticky quagmire. The tip of the sword struggled to move forward half an inch before being bounced back by the invisible barrier of space.

Diablo's figure gradually faded in the distorted light and shadow, echoing as he and the shadow of the pendulum tore through space and time, returning to the past or the future...

Things should have developed in this way, but at this moment, the pointer of the pendulum suddenly reversed and swung in the opposite direction of its original trajectory. When Diablo came to his senses, Mo Yan was already close to him with his sword in hand.

"How could this happen..." He retreated quickly in panic, but was still unable to dodge and was scratched on the chest by Mo Yan's sword.

At this time, he looked into the distance again and saw that Rednos stretched out his right hand and expanded his domain at some point.

"I told you, this is my territory. If you want to escape, you have to ask me for permission."

Rednos's voice was cold and commanding, and a dim light emanated from the palm of his right hand. This light wasn't blinding, but it abruptly reversed the time and space that Diablo had attempted to distort.

Seeing this, Diablo sneered again: "Humph, no wonder you never took action from the beginning until now, so this is what you were planning."

Rednos chuckled. "That's right, everyone, go ahead and do it. With me guarding this 'door,' he won't be able to leave."

Diablo covered his wounded chest and suddenly laughed, "Haha, it seems like I can't escape without a life-and-death fight."

His voice deepened, and dark purple energy pulsated from the wound on his chest like a living thing, rapidly healing the wound. He slowly stood up, and the aura around him suddenly changed. No longer was the teasing and playfulness of before.

"Since you want to fight to the death, then I will accompany you to the end. I will show you my true strength!"

As he finished speaking, space and time began to warp around him. The walls and instruments of the laboratory seemed like paint dropped into water, blurring, dissolving, and then reorganizing. Dark purple energy, like a boiling tide, spread wildly from him, devouring even light wherever it passed. When everyone opened their eyes again, the scenery around them was completely different.

Beneath my feet lay a deep, boundless void, as if treading upon the mirror of the universe. Stars twinkled all around, yet cold and distant. Countless gigantic, translucent clocks hovered in the air, their hands moving fast or slow, forward or backward, emitting a chaotic yet eerie, silent hum. Here, the laws of time and space became visible and chaotic.

"Welcome to my realm—'The Gap of Time.'" Diablo's voice echoed from all directions, as if it came from the past and the future.

As he spoke, an indescribable pressure swept over him like a tangible tsunami. A dark purple energy storm gathered and expanded around him, emitting a heart-pounding roar.

A strong light suddenly burst out and then collapsed in an instant.

When he appeared in everyone's sight again, he had completely shed his human disguise.

His body grew incredibly tall, nearly seven meters tall, covered in dark blue, horny scales that seemed composed of solidified night and star fragments. A crimson light like molten lava flowed between the gaps in the scales. Sharp, pitch-black bone spurs sprouted from his joints, flashing with a cold light that could tear through space.

The features of his face stretched, becoming more inhuman, his pupils transformed into two burning, crimson vortexes that constantly collapsed and regenerated, as if gazing at the end of time itself. From his forehead grew two enormous, twisted horns, like the hands of a broken clock. Their slight tremors caused ripples in the surrounding space.

A thick tail with sharp spikes at the end swayed slowly behind him, and three pairs of demonic wings grew behind him.

This is the true form of Diablo, the primordial demon of time and dimension. His mere presence causes subtle distortions and distortions in the surrounding space and time.

"Is this what he really looks like?" Karen exclaimed in surprise, looking around.

"He can actually cause space fission, but why doesn't he take the opportunity to leave?" Zhao Heng gripped his weapon tightly and asked vigilantly and puzzledly.

"Don't worry, he can't escape." Rednos spoke again, "My domain still exists. All he did was cover it with a layer of domain within my range, so there's no need to worry about him escaping."

"Hmph, running away?" Diablo's true form let out a deep laugh. The sound seemed to echo from eons past, shaking the very void. "I just need a little... 'spacious' place to properly 'entertain' you."
