I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

But what defines "now"?

As time flows normally, what you perceive as the "present" is becoming the "past" every single moment.

It is almost impossible to truly seize the present moment.

However, the other party is a Time Apostle.

Bray knew he couldn't seize the moment, but the enemy could!

Time stop!

This is an extremely powerful skill mastered by the Time-Space Apostle.

After [Time Stop] is activated, the flow of time around the Time Apostle is suspended.

Apart from the Time Apostles, everything else is immobile.

Although the Time Apostle can move, his time is also paused at this time.

"In other words, [Time Stop] is both the strongest and weakest moment for the Time Apostle. The only way to kill him is at this moment!"

This is the method Bray devised in a short period of time to kill the Time Apostle.

He didn't have time to verify his ideas at that moment.

His injuries have not yet healed, and he has been able to hold on until now entirely thanks to his unwavering will as a former "Hero".

Moreover, attacking the Time Apostle during a "time stop" is also a tricky matter.

In normal combat, Bray would never allow himself to remain within the enemy's "time stop" range.

This is no different from courting death.

But now, he has no choice but to take a gamble.

Bray knew in his heart that this might be his last resort.

So he roared at Oscar.

Click~.

The clock hand rotates.

Buzz!

An eerie fluctuation instantly spread outwards, enveloping the behemoth.

The entire realm of [Time Stop] has turned into a faded, gray reality.

"I can't believe you let your guard down at the last minute!"

Oscar looked at the thunder giant hovering in mid-air, poised to throw a punch, and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he suddenly swung his claws at the Formless Purple Thunder Emperor.

When the still electric arc touched Oscar's claws, it left a charred mark on them.

Although time stood still, the energy contained in the lightning did not disappear.

However, Oscar didn't care at all.

Without Bray's control, one only passively suffers some electrical damage, but recovers quickly after the [Time Stop] is lifted.

The Thunder Giant's arm had already been torn off by Oscar.

Unable to resist, the Formless Purple Thunder Emperor was quickly torn apart by Oscar, revealing the hideous-looking Bray at its core.

The gaping hole in Bray's chest was so horrifying that it had been replaced by organs such as a heart made of red lightning.

Otherwise, Bray would have given up long ago.

Even Oscar couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching after watching it.

"Mortal, your vitality is something I have never seen before in my life."

Oscar reached out and grabbed Bray's lower body, lifting him up in front of him. Looking at Bray's desperate expression, he mocked, "But you're only human after all!"

*Splat!*

Oscar squeezed hard with his claws, and Bray's lower body was instantly crushed.

Blood flowed down Oscar's claws, freezing in mid-air as it dripped.

As for Bray's red thunder heart, it was instantly crushed by Oscar!

However, at the moment of crushing, a violent force drilled into Oscar's claw, directly breaking through his arm and into his body.

Bang~!

Oscar's massive body exploded instantly, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The [Time Stop] field ended instantly when Oscar died.

Everything around us has returned to normal.

At the moment the time stop ended, Iris saw Oscar's true form explode in all directions.

Oscar's death was caused by a blood-red cross nail flashing with red electric arcs.

"It's a success!"

As Iris saw Oscar's body explode, she also saw Bray, who was almost entirely reduced to a head and shoulders.

If it is a god with divine status, there might be a way to save one's life in this situation.

But the God Hunters do not possess divinity!

With only a head left, it's impossible to survive!

Iris said it was a success because she believed Oscar could be brought back to life.

To Ares' surprise, even after all the body parts and blood fell from the sky, Oscar was still nowhere to be seen.

With her charred hands clutching her chest, Erisel slowly rose from the ground, murmuring in confusion, "Lord Oscar?"

Whoosh!

The blood-red cross nail, suspended in the sky and enveloped in lightning, vanished in a flash.

The next instant, Irisser, who had just stood up, fell to the ground as if struck by an impact.

Boom!

The enormous roar blasted Ariel to pieces.

Just now, Bray used his last bit of consciousness to lock onto Ereshkigal with the Crimson Cross Nail.

Previously in Thunder Purgatory, Ereshel was hit too many times, leaving her extremely weak and unable to dodge in time—which is why Oscar spent a lot of [time] to shield Ereshel from the lightning earlier.

"[Hero]... Bray, so... strong!"
